** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Oct 29 from 1440 tune-in via Argentine remote, NO signal from LRA36. SDR connexion keeps stalling, have to reload. Listening to noise for over an hour pays off, however:
15475.83 LSB!, Oct 29 at 1548 I notice some offside SSB talk QRM while still tuned to 15475.98 USB, eventually resolved by LSB tuning to this frequency, Spanish talk about Marambio base, so this is certainly LRA36 on a new frequency and maybe new/different transmitter! YL host is chatting with OM guest. I can never get the audio to sound just right, stepping up and down at 10 Hz intervals; even more so during music breaks. Initially there was a reduced carrier which should have made it easier to pinpoint, but then no carrier, pure LSB, S6/S7. 1557 ``aquí en Base Esperanza``; 1600 music; 1604.5 standard canned ID for LRA36 with staff names, ``Nacional, nos une``, a defacto sign-off, and music for some time but did not notice exactly when it went off, well before 1624 check; I let it run until 1637, but nothing further (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Oct 29 at 0547, only RHC on air now, English S9+20/30 with good mod except for some hum, no others of The Cuban Five on 5/6 MHz bands. Usually 6000 is off before the others. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [non]. 7290, Sat Oct 29 at 1801, IRRS SW via BULGARIA, no signal on X2 = 14580; good into UTwente with Feature Story News, 1805 India music bit, then song in English; 1810 start `Country Jamboree` filler until 1830 cut to gospel music and 1833 gospel huxter. Instead of the first half of WOR which ran last Saturday at 1814-1830. Also, Ron Norton of IRRS notifies us: ``the second program in memory of Dario Monferini, with excepts of the Play DX news program in English and Italian, as well as fragments of our earlier tests broadcast from 1988-89, including short segments from Radio Stella International (Scotland), World Music Radio, Jonathan Marks from Media Network (Radio Nederland), and more, will be repeated at the following times [one hour each]: - On Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022 (A22 season): 22:00 UTC (19:00) CET on 1323 kHz MW to Europe (+ streaming) - On Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022 (B22 season): 12:00 UTC (13:00 CET) on 9510 kHz SW to Europe (+ streaming) 17:00 UTC (18:00 CET) on 7290 kHz SW to Europe (+ streaming) 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET) on 1323 kHz MW to Europe (+ streaming) with repeats and also in the coming week at various times via streaming at https://nexus.org/mp3 .`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 29 at 0551, no signal from VON; but I am checking too early: ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Lugo, NW of Spain, Tecsun PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters, NIGERIA, 7254.9, Voice of Nigeria, Abuja Lugbe, *0555-0610, 29-10, open with songs, at 0557 interval signal, at 0601 Vernacular, comments. Very strong carrier, very weak audio. It seems to have transmitter problems. 15321`` 7255-, Oct 29 at 1756, no VON signal into Canary SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5000, Oct 29 at 0548, sweep tones apparently from WWV itself during this minute rather than QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2162 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday October 29 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+20 into Virginia SDR, S9+20/30 into Missouri SDR, S8/9+10 into KFS CA on SE antenna, VG S9+20/30 direct. What about // 15770 instead of 7730? Nothing but traces at VA, MO, direct; S9+10/25 into KFS. Also confirmed UT Saturday October 29 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130 minus 16 Hz = 5129.984, S9/+5 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed Saturday October 29 at 1600 on WRN NAm webcast. Next: 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0430] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 5950 to NNW 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html A noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated. Via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com Or by money order or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7780, Oct 29 at 0552, WRMI-13 is finally back on air, as forecast by end of this week, the last one (almost) to be restored following Hurricane Ian; rock music at S9/+10 with slight distortion. I had not yet seen this, which went on FB circa 23 UT Oct 28: ``WRMI Radio Miami International 17h · Dear WRMI Listeners: We just repaired 7780 kHz today, and it will come on the air at 0000 UTC tonight (UTC Oct 29). We now have all of our regular frequencies back on the air except for 7730 kHz. We did put 7730 back on the air on October 10 at low power, but we have been unable to bring it up on high power using the current antenna. However, we have transferred all of the programming which was previously on 7730 kHz to 15770 kHz on our European beam. We will keep working on 7730, and we may be able to return that frequency to the air within the next couple of weeks. We lost three antennas during Hurricane Ian on September 28 – one to Europe and the Middle East, one to Africa and one to Central America and Oceania. We have placed one of those frequencies (7780 kHz) on a different antenna to the same target areas. We replaced 21525 kHz with 17790 kHz to a different target area. And, as mentioned above, we are still working on 7730 kHz. We are consulting with engineers to see how the three damaged antennas might be repaired or replaced in the future. We want to thank everyone who has contributed to our hurricane repair funds on PayPal and GoFundMe. Your contributions have made it possible for us to do all of this work in just 30 days, and they will make it possible for us to continue with permanent repairs. Thank you all very much!`` The gridspan for 7780 at 222 degrees for WNAm - otherwise same azimuth designated for CAm on silent 5985 - is 0000-1100 only with quite a mixture, besides disposable TOMBS and SMTV, variety at: 00-01, 03-04, 05-06, 08-09; presumably including WOR UT Fri 0330, Sun & Mon 0030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5129.984, UT Sat Oct 29 at 0230-0259, WBCQ Radio Angela with weekly `Greek Music Refuge`. UB has Zach Liangas on at first to briefly introduce the music from a name I don`t catch, as he has chosen it. Then solid segués for rest of show, enjoyed but noisier here than would have been on VOG 9420. At end UB offered to ID pieces to email requestors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 29 at 0551, JBA signal from R. Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic split JBA MW carrier search, Oct 29 at 0621: 711-Morocco, 774-Spain, 846-TP Kiritimati, 855-2-Spain, 882-Canary or Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1913 UT October 29 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/

** CUBA. 6060, Oct 28 at 0605, JBA carrier: hard to believe it`s RHC, but nothing else listed at this hour, except in Aoki: SRDA Curitiba, Brasil. Is it active? Not in EiBi or latest DSWCI DBS as of last April. Not in WRTH 2022, 2021, either. Same question I raised on July 9, 2021.
6165, Oct 28 at 0605, only RHC left, in English, S9+10/20 but undermodulated. No Cuba or other broadcasters above 5000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 28 at 0607, VON is on at S9/+10 but JBM. At 1742, 1826, no signal into Canary SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday October 28 at 2200, token English from REE, sufficient on NAm frequency, S9+20/30 into Virginia SDR. Feature after news will be part 2 of interview about Salem witchcraft, plus a Lebanon/Israel agreement, and another spooky movie review. 2206 witchcraft starts but doesn`t really interest me. 2225 the Leb/Isr is about maritime border agreement for offshore gas exploration, brokered by US, i.e. each signed with US, not having to deal directly with each other. 2227.5 final #10 Hallowe`en movie review, did not get Spanish title, as signal is fading down. 2316 recheck, nothin` but noise on 17855, but SAm`s 11940 is still S9+5/10 into VA; 15520 & 11670 would have closed after 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, W OR) ** TURKEY. From HFCC B22, VOT TRT in English, as expected changes, 1 real UT hour later from Oct 30: 1330 12035 Eu, but NAm beyond 1730 9660 C&SAs 1930 6050 Eu 2130 9610 SEAs, Pac 2300 5960 NAm 0400 6125 NAm, 7285 ME Not including the inevitable errors, like 5960 on past 0000 in German (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2162) ** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 28 at 2200 no signal yet into UTwente from VOT English; must have come on way late but going S9+25/45 at 2230 after I retune from Spain --- but it`s not English, rather Turkish. 2235 machine gun fire, declamations, like a military coup?? Also has some music background, 2238 martial songs; 2240 more talk and machine gun fire. At 2243 I notify the WOR iog to tune this in quick! But no replies. Then mostly songs, no English, cut off at 2255.5 which would be nominal for end of broadcast. Probably the sloppyrators brought up the wrong program feed, like a dramatic movie soundtrack. Something`s very erroneous at Emirler and/or awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6m DX MAP commonly shows Es MUFs to 70+ MHz, hardly ever above 88; but that`s plenty for 28 MHz hambeacons to show. I only have time to copy a few, among others also too close to each other less than 1 kHz apart, Oct 28 at 2020-2027 UT, first with listings from WI5V Beacon website, further ID and info from QRZ.com --- 28230.7?, Oct 28 at 2026, E E E E E E E E NG7I/B + gridsquare? 28.2308 NG7I C RITZVILLE, WASHINGTON 2 WATTS, VERTICAL new start date 6 Dec 2021 NG7I USA flag USA PATRICK C PADGETT 704 S Washington St. Ritzville, WA 99169 ``QSL: Direct QSL Please.

The receiver in the HTX-100 smoked, literally, years ago but the transmitter just keeps on going. I have a small fan in back of the radio to keep things a little cool. For me part of the fun of having the beacon is playing with antennas. So far it's had a loop, dipole, and verticals 8', 17', 31' and 120' long.`` This time my log & listed frequency match.

WORLD OF RADIO 2162 monitoring: not confirmed UT Fri Oct 28 at 0330 on 7780 still not restored, nor 9455. Confirmed Friday October 28 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, VP S7/S9 direct, and off after 1500. Also confirmed Friday October 28 from 1815.3 on IRRS via Bulgaria 7290 and AM Italia 1323. Into UTwente, S9+5, nothing audible on X2 = 14580. Into nearby Noale SDR, 1323 with heavy CCI from Romania`s minority German service: e.g. 1823 WOR is atop, 1828 about equal, 1831 WOR abottom, 1843 WOR JBA way under. Monitoring same earlier and later: 1323 from 1756 tune-in classical music from Rom way atop; nothing ever on 918 or 207 kHz. 1801 IRRS ``sign-on`` by when 7290 is also on so I mainly listen there: Feature Story News & Spotlite; 1806 song fill; 1812 open `Counterspin` with Jennine Jaxon [sps?], one current news item being explosions on pipeline off Poland: that`s really olds, happened on Sept 26. 1815 chop off for IRRS ID and then WOR. After: 1844 music and IRRS ID, 1845 more music; 1847 open `Shortwave Report` with Dan Roberts in CA; same old stations recorded this week: DW, F24, RHC, NHKWR. DW is about Truss resigning, which of course is impossible on SW in English. 1855, France 24 of course does not even pretend to be a SW station as he continues pulling off webcasts, *not* off SW. He does admit to webcast alternatives. Cannot provide any SW frequencies for first two, because there aren`t any. 1857* Bulgaria cuts 7290 off as usual before programend. Try to listen to rest on 1323 but buried by music from Romania, until 1900 prolonged tone and off; audiblizing pretending ``IRRS SW signing-off`` and Verdi theme, as less than half of so-called SW Report has been aired at all; 1903 FSN again. Also confirmed Friday October 28 at 2038 the 2030 on AM Italia, 1323, S9+10/17 well over music understation and SAH presumed Smooth Radio. Next: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW, 15770 to NE?

At 1420 Oct 28: ``Hi Glenn, Yes, we are continuing to do daytime maintenance work on our 8 million dollar Superstation antenna, The Ampegon model RCA 4-4. The work will finish by the end of November. This will enable us to concentrate a full 20 million watts ERP of free speech shortwave radio power, in any desired direction.

Must vote out all Democrats. Gotta keep fossil fuels, very slowly wean off them. Laments cost of diesel fuel et al. to keep warm in Maine winters. I also check Maryland remote how the SW frequencies are going: 5130 minus 9 Hz; 6160 minus 63 Hz; 7490 minus 66 Hz; 3265 off; 9330 WLCR minus 25 Hz. All these are varying 1 or 2 Hz up and down. 0030 refers to gh and sending me the above message. Accuses me of saying stuff without verification, but still loves me. Tower work has been going on for 2.5 months; antenna was not 100% complete so they are working on final touches. Ultimately will be able to beam ERP of 20 megawatts anywhere with 500 kW transmitter. 0041 accuses Moonbats of ``killing our children``, by uncertainty about gender. 0044 says trimulcasting on 7, 6 and 5, on 28 of Oct YOOLF 2022. 0047 denounces NPR = ``National Socialist Public Radio``. Radio World story from Sept about decline of public radio, ``constagflation`. Usual prayerful wrapup ending late at 0101, JIP Hal Turner, too late to tell whether he still claim to be on 540 KYAH Utah, which was 13 watts at night; did that allude to Yahweh?

Can`t find any 1210 listed with classical: can`t imagine a commercial station in US or Canada, nor can NRC AM Log. IRCA Mexican log shows max 3 stations, not. Cuba? Two stations in WRTH not on CMBF network. Central America? Guatemala has a religious one. Nothing else in CAm, Caribbean or S America with an overtly cultural or classical name, but exact formats difficult to divine. Ideas? Possibly something completely different defaulting to such fill during loss of network signal; or an equipment test. This makes a SAH of 164/minute against some other = 2.7 Hz. MWOffsets shows KUBR San Juan TX in the RGV on 1210.0027! But it`s Spanish Christian.
