** CANADA. 6754-USB, Oct 9 at 0612, Trenton Military still off pending
frequency fix.

15034.0-USB, Oct 9 at 1421, CHR is back on air and back on frequency
after foray to 15035.8-USB and then silence. Replies to my previous:

Richard Lacroix at 0203 UT October 9: ``Glenn, In reference to your
Oct 8 post, I was in conversation and worked with the technical crew
at MACS Trenton Thursday morning in reference to your initial post and
the off frequency issue. Upon initial investigation, MACS confirmed
that there was no apparent fault being reported from the remote
transmitter site but this was apparent when we monitored it from a
remote receiver site and the spectrum / waterfall display.

A decision was then made to broadcast using a different transmitter,
but as noted, this seems to be silent. MACS Trenton is aware of the
issues and have dispatched a technical crew to the site. The services
are not closed or taking a break but merely experiencing some
technical difficulties and will resume once corrective maintenance has
been completed. Richard``

Don VE6JY Moman, Alberta, Oct 9: ``just checked this morning at 1556
Z, Trenton weather broadcasts are back on 15034. Guess they got the
problem resolved.``

Art Delibert, Maryland at 1839 Oct 9: ``Glenn -- FYI, I heard a
broadcast from Trenton on 15034 beginning at 1830 today. Extremely
weak -- I'm probably in the skip zone for such a high frequency, but
they were there and on frequency. I know Bill Hepburn lists them as
starting at 10 minutes after hour; I didn't hear anything then``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Oct 9 at 1357: none WOOB in the 13s,
12s, or 11s, but 10920 JBA until 1400*. Retune at 1420, however, JBA
carrier back on 10920; maybe really Sound of Hope? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 9 at 2209, no signal yet via TWR Bonaire SDR,
from anonymous mystery missionary station; probably opens circa 2300,
and underway with gospel huxter in Spanish at 2342, S9+5 peaks, SAM
carrier offsets varying minus 5 to 6 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 19, Oct 9 circa 1500 UT, no DTV signal from KAUT
``43``, OKC. There is some tropo with fog around, but no DX decoding.
The other OKCs are nominal or even better such as iffy RF 16 KOCM.
KAUT is either off the air, QRP, or blocked by a DX signal: great ATSC
1.0 DTV system makes it impossible to be sure of which. I look for
possible QRM sources but W9WI.com is currently showing only Canadian
listings, computer problems accessing FCC data. No 19 on either of my
outside antennas; and at 2051 UT check, not on my third set with
rabbit ears which normally gets it when positioned just right. As I
recall, KAUT has been chosen as ``host transmitter`` for other
stations in the new ATSC 3.0 system, so maybe it`s down now for some
reconfiguration.

After 2 or 3 months down on the roof following a windstorm, my Ch 7-13
and 14+ Hi VHF/UHF antenna has been reërected, a 2-hour, 2-person job
accomplished Oct 7 at 15-17 UT. It`s as good as before, which is not
good enough to capture a solid signal from, KETA ``13``, PBS with
three subchannels, World, Create, and Kids. -3 and -4 are not
available on cable! And 1 and -2 are usually degraded to monophonic on
cable. I continue to blame this on the second harmonic of local KNID
107.1 messing up the RF 13 videoband at 214.2 MHz, roughly off the
back of the antenna aimed SSE toward OKC. A better front/back ratio
might help but should not be necessary (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** THAILAND. 9390, Oct 9 at 1304, R. Thailand in English news, VP S6
and LSB required to avoid 9395-TOMBS via WRMI. 1309 commercials and
IDs/promos for ``FM 88`` its main domestic ID, also FM 95.5 and AM 918
from Radio Thailand, Public Relations Department of the Royal Thai
Government. The latter is only 10 kW in Bangkok, vs 600 kW from
Cambodia`s #1 frequency, and which had some news in English when I was
in Korat 50 years ago. A bit more international news until 1314 gongs,
pause, 1315 resume, English announcement introducing Mandarin.

The point of this is: 1300-1315 is supposed to be in Japanese, but one
of the languages temporarily? suspended. Dr Hj Biener suggests it`s
because funding for free-lance language staff run out before a fiscal
year end, as the same has happened with German. There is a minor beam
change at 1314 from 54 to 30 degrees, both of which are much more
favorable for us than 132 degrees for the original English semihours
at 1230 & 1400: if only those could be aimed USward and axually reach
us in mornings while the so-called North American service evenings
after 0000 on 15590 does not. All of course via USAGM Udorn, while
HSK9 should insist on using Grimesland NC for us. As expected, at 1422
presumably in English, 9390 is now JBA. Substitute English at 1300
should be savoured while it last (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420-MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 0622 UT, ND beacon FQ, fading out;
it`s 25 watts from Fairmont, Minnesota, which is right next to Iowa at
the center of the southern border between Albert Lea and Worthington.
I was tuned to 418-USB.

379-MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 0625 UT, ND beacon DL, which is 50 watts from
Duluth -- Pike Lake, Minnesota. Tuned to 377-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Oct 9 at 1302, WRMI with no QRM here but
there could be, especially further west, as Radio Free Asia has been
reported testing? 9955 in Vietnamese and other languages before and
after this hour. Some jumped to the conclusion that site must be T8WH
PALAU, which per our exclusive info last week, is planning a comeback
November 1 as Hope Radio out of West Virginia, but would be testing
before then; but 9955 was not mentioned or registered as one of their
frequencies, and furthermore someone found that it was inaudible at
Hanoi SDR, yet audible via Russia into Europe. Wolfgang Bueschel now
says those tests are really via Dushanbe, TAJKISTAN.

This also applies to 9930 which was the #1 frequency of
KWHR/T8BZ/T8WH, and which here at 1303 has nothing, but at 1305 seems
VP 2-way in unknown language on LSB. 9965 is another possible Palau
frequency and there is a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5970, Oct 9 at 0607, no signal from WEWN Spanish, normally
regular and other US stations are loud on 5850, 5890, 5935, 5950. Also
absent is 9385 WEWN English altho that could be above the MUF.

15610 English and 12050 Spanish are apparently back on, Oct 9 at 2056
and 2102 as JBA carrier and JBA respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 9 at 0609, the revived WRNO still gospel huxter in
English, S8-S9; had been reported overnight in Chinese or something,
but must start later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490.10, Oct 9 at 2107, `Behaviour Night` on Fridays via
WBCQ off-frequency+plus again after a while slightly minus. Poor
reception still but should be improving with earlier sunsets into
winter, and airing one real UT hour later from November (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6906.08-CUSB, Oct 9 at 2208 via TWR Bonaire SDR,
numerous ``Venezuela 93.7`` or vice-versa IDs in program promotions,
good S6-S7. Still at 2342 with romantic music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4905-RTTY, Oct 9 at 0601, heavy fast RTTY here, but not
on 4985 or 4895. I wonder if all these be NSS in Maryland, jumping to
different frequencies intentionally or not? Vs some CODAR here too
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5040, Oct 9 at 0604, JBA carrier after RHC normally
closes, while 5025 Rebelde retains S9+20 tho undermodulated. Could be
RHC on exciter, not completely off? Or VANUATU? 5040 is one of their
registered frequencies but has not been in use. Aoki shows starting at
0700 but we know they are extremely flexible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9675, Oct 9 at 2104, 1 kHz tone at S3-S4, DSB, not a
het. Only schedulee is Iran in Spanish until 2120, but Saudi in
Turkish would have just ended at 2057 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0011 UT October 10

** BRAZIL. 4885, Oct 8 at 0349 dead air from presumed R. Clube do
Pará, S8-S9 via Bonaire SDR vs some CODAR. No signal on 4875 from the
other ZY, nor German pirate Mystery Radio which was reported to have
moved there from 4700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 351-MCW kHz, Oct 8 at 0615, dash and YKQ,
500-watt ND Beacon from Fort Rupert - Waskaganish, Quebec. Axually I
was tuned to 350-USB for my nearby RG in OKC, and where I was also
hearing mixed in LI, 400 watts from Little Rock, Arkansas, which is
really on 353; but not its often companion, IN from International
Falls, Minnesota. See also USA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

off-frequency from 6754.0-USB.

15035.8-USB, Oct 8 circa 1355, no signal from Trenton Military here
nor on correct 15034.0-USB; not sure if closed or merely in a break,
but Canadian reaxions to my previous reports:

``Trenton VOLMET ODXA Logs --- Glenn, Just checking if this is you who
is posting the reception logs to the ODXA group. I have been following
your last 2 days of Trenton VOLMET being off frequency. I did not have
a chance to check the 15 MHz frequency today but can confirm that the
6 MHz frequency is currently, no pun intended, off
frequency. I work for DND so I definitely can have someone look into
this abnormality. Thanks Richard Lacroix,`` 0047 UT Oct 8

``Trenton off air --- Hi Glenn, I dropped a note to a friend that used
to work at the facility, he contacted them but they initially insisted
nothing was wrong, but since they are off the air today, he must have
convinced them that there is a problem. 73 Don VE6JY`` Moman, 2011 UT

only way-out-of-band one detected between 13.5 and 9.1 MHz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Oct 7 at 1501, RHC is S9+20 but overmodulated and
distorted, correctly mentioning this and 11760 as current frequencies,
while at 1502, 15230 is also on at S6-S8 with dead air, presumably
about to be turned off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,

** NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR. 2598-USB, Oct 7 at 0624 UT Canadian Coast
Guard marine weather from two simulstations clashing, different
content by same synthYL voice in English. Per

None of the six stations in this region is scheduled to start anytime

past sesquidecade of my reports; and now I have done so twice; what a
surfeit; er, thrice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15400, Oct 7 at 1503, JBA carrier, presumed R.

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 7 at 0603:
about to do TA search, but start on 846 where there is a carrier
generally stronger than the others and thus well-presumed as
Kiritimati back on the air from south of Hawaii. the only TP instead
of TA at this time, a sesquihour after its sunset (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Central, as NSS RTTY is missing! See USA: 4895 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. 15035.8-USB, Oct 6 at 2125, Trenton Military is still
off-frequency from 15034-USB, like 7 hours ago, Winnipeg conditions
now. 10051-USB, Oct 6 at 2129, Gander Radio, same synthvoice is also
about Winnipeg but on-frequency.

6754.8-USB, Oct 5 at 2325, the other CHR Trenton frequency for night
is also askew from 6754.0, but only +0.8 kHz instead of +1.8 kHz;
someop`s slippery fingers? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 600 kHz, Oct 6 at 2329, I start monitoring via Bonaire
SDR, for HJHJ, Radio Libertad, Barranquilla. Three or four stations
mixing, atop is R. Rebelde, CUBA, music // distorted 5025. But HJHJ is
gaining, 2342 plug for its newspaper owner Diario La Libertad, and
full ID accompanied by Gershwin`s `Rhapsody in Blue`. 2343 starts a
pusher of alternative medicine with his local address. 2359 full ID
again with Gershwin, disclaimer, and opening Voz de América relay for
Venezuela at 0000 Oct 7.

I had not rechecked this since it was inaugurated exactly 3 weeks ago
and filed the first definitive monitoring report about it, which I see
some editors have refused to publish; there were claims that the VOA
relay was not being heard, but it surely is. If there be any
deliberate jamming by sudden new YV station on 600, I can`t make it
out. Has that continued every night? Is it on the air all the time, or
only during 2 or 3 hours of VOA? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 6 at 2334, anonymous mystery missionary station
is S9 again with gospel huxter in Spanish, quick check via Bonaire SDR
mainly engaged for 600 and 6906.08 kHz; in SAM mode seems stuck on
false carrier offset display of -26.4 Hz without even variation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Oct 7 at 0105, R. Progreso is JBM; while 5025, R.
Rebelde is suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 7 at 0103, RHC is absent, and so are its spurs
circa 5082 etc. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 5990 & 6000, Oct 6 at 2323, both CRI relay and RHC
are JBM, a stark contrast to well-modulated 5995 MALI between them;
something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Oct 5 at 2131, REE North American frequency is 1 kHz
tone instead of programming at S9/+20, unlike the other three Noblejas
transmitters: 11940 S4-S6 in Spanish > // 11670; 12030 not //,
probably Arabic program. This is Tuesday so no English at 2200, but
John A. Figliozzi, Halfmoon NY, says to the WOR iog, ``I’m hearing
only a tuning signal on 9690 where REE should be broadcasting a relay
of its RNE domestic programming. 2215 UT`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4895-RTTY, Oct 7 at 0104, heavy fast RTTY but none on 4985:
I bet a lysdexic NSS operator mixed up the digits in punching up the
frequency! Still 4895 at 0309; I don`t think there normally be any
RTTY on 4895; clears 4985 for BRAZIL, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, Oct 6 at 2322, WRMI-10 is OFF; supposed to start at
2100 with SMTV until 0100, then other stuff. Not rechecked until 0154
Oct 7 when it is on, but with Greek music fill, instead of R. Prague
as on System H schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490, Oct 7 at 0102, this WBCQ is OFF, instead of Hal Turner
until 0200, but he is running on 6159.93v and 9455 WRMI. Yet what
about `Amateur Radio Roundtable`? That had been UT Weds from 0100, I
think, on the now suspended 5130 for which nothing is now scheduled,
but A.R.R. is now shown Wed 0030-0230 on 6160! Maybe the first and
last semihours with HT overtaking between?? Anyhow it`s mainly a
webcast at W5KUB.com. And Overcomer is no longer shown after 0200 on
7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 7 at *0058, weak carrier cuts on as I have been
standing by for WRNO, which had been missing four months, but reported
again last night: ``USA. 7505, WRNO, after being silent for some
months now, heard again Oct 6, at 0245, with the “Maranatha Radio”
program with Pastor Ray Bentley; fair reception. Ron Howard, Asilomar
State Beach, Calif., CR-1, antenna: 100' long wire``

At *0059 signal bumps up much stronger, up from exciter? 0100 JIP
screaming gospel huxter, with music background, presumably boss Mawire
himself, some overmodulation-distortion, without any sign-on or even
ID! By 0118 faded down considerably to S8-S9 of music. I had last
heard WRNO June 10 but with dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

en el grupo "Radiofrecuencia" de whatsapp: "Buenas tardes grupo,
espero disfruten de la música que suena en nuestra onda corta R.O.C.V.
desde Venezuela y tranquilos que ya estamos es los permisos de
Conatel. No es una emisora pirata o como usen sus términos que pasen,
feliz tarde. Transmisión de prueba ya va a salir independiente
pronto"`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15035.8-USB, Oct 6 at 1428, Trenton Military,
off-frequency! from 15034-USB, never noted such before. At least
current reports are not ``not received``. Someone bumped the CHR
transmitter? Bump it back (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Oct 6 at 1345: JBA carriers mostly
fluttery on 13835, 11460, 11170, 11150, 11120, 11000; 9155 S4-S6 with
het, 9180, 9215. None WOOB elsewhere in the 13s, 12s or 10s (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Oct 6 at 0621, R. Rebelde S9+20 but suptorted.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Oct 6 at 1426, RHC is S9 of dead air or maybe JBM,
while 15140 is S9/+10 with sufficient modulation, slightly distorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, Oct 6 at 0638 UT, ND beacon CA, which is 25
watts from Newton - Harvs, Kansas.

Also tuned to 395-USB simulhearing JE, which is really on 397-MCW kHz,
25 watts from Jefferson City, Missouri (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 414-MCW kHz, Oct 6 at 0637 UT, ND beacon ATS, which is 25
watts from Artesia, New Mexico. I was tuned to 412-USB (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475.2-MCW kHz, Oct 6 at 0635 UT, WA4SZE BEACON is on and in;
seems reliable now from Manchester TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1680, Oct 6 at 0625 UT, two music stations making fast SAH,
C&W looping NW/SE, something else SW/NE. Someone had mentioned that
KRJO Monroe LA seemed off the air following hurricane? damage. Maybe
so, but it`s on now: ``Classic Country 99.7 The Legend``, while the
other one IDs at 0630 with a different FM, 105.9? That would be WPRR
Ada MI under new identity (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6906.1-CUSB, more about the surprise new SW I heard:

``New news that José Hernández Madrid sends me about the Venezuelan
station R. O. C. V. 6906 kHz. Actual power: 50 watts. R. O. C. V. 6906
kHz, El Tigre, Anzoátegui, Venezuela, is testing now, relaying "93.7
FM Así Suena". Later, also plans to relay "La Voz del Tigre", 980 kHz.
When the test period ends, R. O. C. V, 6906 will be on air with its
own program. It is not a pirate station, they are requesting
permission from CONATEL (Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones) to
be on air legally. Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain``

He includes a logo with ROCV --- what could that stand for? Maybe
``Radio Onda Corta Venezolana``? I never heard those letters said.

``Glenn -- On Sunday [Oct 4], I wrote to El Tigre in English and
Spanish (Microsoft translate) via their FB page about hearing the SW
relay, and got the following reply in English: "Hello, thank you for
listening, we are via short band for the whole world, our contacts by
whatsapp is +58 424 852 8414"

So whether or not it's licensed by the Venezuelan government, I think
the relay is being done with the station's knowledge and
cooperation.

Reception is quite good here in Maryland in the evenings. Saturday
night they were still going at 0407 (Sunday morning) when I went to
bed. Yesterday I think I caught their s/on just after 1000 -- sounded
like an anthem -- but so far, signal is much weaker in the morning.
Always best with the SAL antenna pointed to the SE or S from here.

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 6 at 0634:
621, 684, 774, likely Canaries/Spain; but no signal on 846, nor has
there been lately, from presumed Kiritimati south of Hawaii; off the
air? A month ago it was reported thus in NZ DX Times:

``846 0540 KIRIBATI Radio Kiribati weak w/male & female in dialect
alternating, on measured 845.9955 visible separately from Masterton on
846.000 on 7/9. Carrier appeared abruptly at 0500 on 8/9 confirming
evening s/on. Audio evident by 0520. Closed 0943 on 10/9. Carrier also
visible at 1710 until 1740 f/out 6/9. BCM Bryan Clark in Mangawhai
with WinRadio G33DDC SDR & EWEs to NE, E & SE`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15399.75 approx., rapid pulse noise centered about here
but covering at least 15395-15400, Oct 6 at 1430. Here`s more about it
from Don Moman on October 4:

``At 2130 in Alberta, the noise consists of a wide carrier centered
about 25 kHz [sic] below 15400, this is the rumbling part. There is an
additional clicking, much like that of a geiger counter, centered
around 15398. In USB on the Perseus, there isn't anything detectable.
I think some transmitter somewhere is malfunctioning, not necessarily
meant to be near 15400`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
