** MEXICO. 800, Sept 19 from 0620, the extremely distorted signal is
certainly XEERG, Ojo de Agua, Nuevo León. After two nights of hearing
horribly distorted QRM to KQCV 800 OKC, not noted earlier UT Sept 19
during primetime, but again now at 0620, altho not as severe as
before. See previous reports under OKLAHOMA [and non].

This time I`m checking remote receivers. NOT heard in OKC, so not a
defect of KQCV itself. Not heard at Durango2 SDR. But YES, audible at
these: Querétaro; Austin TX; even Truth or Consequences NM making me
wonder if XEROK could be attempting a comeback. At 0625 am also
hearing it quite well at McAllen TX SDR in the RGV, so I stick with
that. Without KQCV or other QRM there, I can tell there are Spanish
announcements between rock tunes. At 0638, Spanish ID mentions
``92.9``. A BIG clue, so let`s take another look at listings:

mwlist: ``MEX XEERG RG La Deportiva 92.9 FM Ojo de Agua * 10/2.5
relays XHERG 92.9 MHz, ex XEDD La Tremenda``

Who cares what state it`s in? Mwlist does not. But they should, since
there are more than one Ojo de Agua in the country! Google searching
without specifying Nuevo León leads to the major one in Estado de
México. But look at this in the 2024 IRCA Mexican Log:

``800 XEERG NL Ojo de Agua 10000 2500 R-G La Deportiva 24h? SPT ORO //
XERG 690 AM, XHERG 92.9 FM, and XHFMTU 103.7 FM-HD2. ex-XEDD. Stereo.
Staying on AM per IFT. Active on AM 11/23 (logged by DXer) and
included in 8/24 IFT list. This station was purchased because of its
powerful FM license, giving the operator of XERG 690 AM an FM "rim
shot" into Monterrey``

Facebook: ``La localidad de Ojo de Agua está situado en el Municipio
de Agualeguas (en el Estado de Nuevo León). Tiene 82 habitantes. Ojo
de Agua está a 380 metros de altitud.``

So there we have both an FM frequency match and a geographical match
for XEERG near Monterrey. We do not have a format match, but it would
not be unusual for a sports station to be playing music instead in the
nightmiddle. On distorted 800, I hear another announcement break at
0642 before quitting SDR. Final check direct at 0647: less distorted
music still QRMing KQCV.

Then in the daytime at 1615 UT, I check McAllen again: and there it is
by groundwave on 800, extremely distorted talk, presumably about
sports. Non-local strength, only S5. While monitoring via McAllen
remote in the night, I did not yet know about the // on 690. But now
at 1620 there is ALSO NON-distorted sports talk mentioning Monterrey,
on 690. By 1710, no signal on 690, off? but still distorted on 800.
This is not splatter from anything on 790 or 810. The TWR Brownsville
SDR is not available. BTW when I first checked the new McAllen SDR a
few days ago, it was deaf below 1800 kHz, but not anymore. I had
previously asked if anyone else was hearing the distorted 800, but no
replies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2261)

** BRAZIL. 28270.5 CW, Sept 18 at 2204, only beacon heard is dash VVV
PY4MAB. Higher on 28 MHz, only one unID phoner in quick scan. WGB
list:
``28270.5 PY4MAB - Poços de Caldas MG BRA GG68re - #0/1/3 (14 Sept

includes brief biography, linx to social media, huge photo gallery of
equipment, the city, wildlife, nary a human, and: ``I have a Radio
Beacon on the frequency of 28.270.5 CW, 24 hours a day, vertical
antenna, 10 watts of power. In 2020 it will be 10 years since Beacon
is on the air. Whoever receives the signals and sends me a
confirmation by letter I will respond to everyone and send a special
QSL card from my city.`` As name implies, city is known for its hot
springs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 18 at 0635 UT, KQCV OKC again
tonight with continuous QRM, extremely distorted seems like music,
right on same frequency only. Does not match anything on 780, 790, 810
or 820. This time I DF it with the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398:
peaks NNW/SSE at same angle as KQCV. Possibly out of KQCV itself, but
again no sign of it in daytime check after 1430. Is anyone else
hearing this? Based on DF alone, but a few possibilities: CHAB Moose
Jaw SK, WSHO New Orleans LA, XEQT Veracruz -- but none of them very
likely by power and distance. CHAB & WSHO are OK in remote daytime
chex 1745. How about PJB? Own Bonaire SDR tied up as often. Next time
I should check remotes when I am hearing that, especially the one in
OKC (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [non?]. 11936.143+, Sept 18 at 1806, very rapid
chirping vs Yemen service, S9+20. Jamming from Iran? UTwente flails to
lock onto when tuned to 11935, but finally stix here when tuned to
11936.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Sept 18 at 2201, token English from SNR, S9+30/40
direct, 2202 news, something about democratic reforms proposed, such
as decriminalizing insulting royalty. 2212 check, 17715 back to weaker
than 17855 since it`s toward S America, but today is also fluttechoey
unlike the others: 15520 sufficient and 15390 still AWOL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 18 at *2200.3, VOT carrier cuts on late,
dead air at first and powering up from S8 to S9+20 as monitored
direct; 2201 brings up modulation as olds is starting. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. Recheck 2214 ending `Review of the
Turkish Press`, into a new segment I had not heard before, about
inventions; starting with assassination of Chicago Mayor Harrison on
28 October 1893. This led to improvements in body protexion: steel
armor and shields obsolete. Something about a Polish immigrant`s work.
Dr. George E. Goodfellow discovered that someone avoided death because
a bullet hit his handkerchief in pocket, and this led to bulletproof
vest invention, as he demonstrated by having an assistant fire at him
point-blank. Never explained materials made of, kevlar never
mentioned! But show outro as `Unscripted Twists of Fate` -? or more
likely, `Unexpected-`? 2222 music. 2233 recheck into UTwente when
measured, S9+45, more music. 2238 ``always-by-your-side`` promo,
`Sports Panorama`. 2247 music. 2252 s/off as if on 17620 at 1230. 2253
IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs. 2300 ~correct timesignal and s/on
German, 2301 Alten to 2302.6* chop. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sept 18 at 0645-0651 UT, MW NDB bandscan hits a lot of
intriguing JBA carriers, but no IDs audible, still plenty of storm
noise. From RNA listings and previous monitoring experience, I guess
them to be:
305, RO, Roswell NM, 400 watts
326, MA, Midland TX, 400 watts
338, TU, Tulsa OK, ``0`` watts
344, JL, Joplin MO, ``0`` watts
346, YXL, Sioux Lookout ON, 500 watts
359, SDR, Snyder TX, 25 watts, but off?
379, RUE, Russellville AR, 25 watts, ``RU``
384, JB, Lumberton NC, 0 watts, only listed, doubtful
385, HO, Hot Springs AR, 50 watts
404, HU, Hutchinson KS, 25 watts
407, HRU, Herington KS, 25 watts
420, FQ, Fairmont MN; PK Olathe/Herbb KS; or TU Tupelo MS, each 25
watts

Only ID copied this session at 0650:
395, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
September 17 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+15 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 17 at 2331 on Shortwave Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.002+, JBA S7/S8 noisy into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday September 18 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+ at S9+10/15 and 3975.003 also at S9+10/15 into
UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday September 18 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -74 Hz =
7489.926, S9+15 into NH SDR. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

** U S A. 1530, Sept 18 at 0653 UT, Mexmx mixing with WCKY, unusual.
0654 phone number in Spanish starting with AC 512, which is San
Antonio TX area - or was as I well remember from living there, but it
shrank in 1992 to Austin area. And on the altazimuth wrist-mounted
DX398, DF SSW almost fits for that, really closer to due south. 0659
and again at 0700, IDs as ``La Raza 95.1``. Therefore per NRC AM Log,
it`s KZNX, Creedmoor TX, U7 10000/220/1000/55 watts, address in El
Paso, but that`s the group HQ. Creedmoor is not even indexed in my
road atlas. It`s 15 miles south of Austin, 2020 census population 434.
What do you bet it`s not on 220 watt night power? KZNX last logged
April 8 during Total Solar Eclipse. You might expect a TX 1530 in
Spanish would be KGBT Harlingen, U8 50/10/50 kW, but night pattern
disfavors the north, main lobe ESE into GOM, and it`s TUDN sports
