** AUSTRIA [and non]. 11955, Nov 13 at 1506, talk at S7-S9 with LAH =
low audible het from another station on slightly different frequency.
Only scheduled is AWR Turkish via Moosbrunn. Possibly KSDA Guam had
not turned off promptly by 1500? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 7665, Nov 13 at 1556, S8-S9 of Chinese, 5+1 timesignal at
1600 and continues, i.e. CNR1 jammer. Altho not thoroly searched, I
had not noticed any on higher bands. Aoki shows 7665 victim is Sound
of Hope relaying Radio Free Asia, 0300-1700 via Pingtung site, Taiwan
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 395-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0712 UT, dash and YL, 1600-watt ND
beacon from Lynn Lake, Manitoba. Last logged Sept 16 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, Nov 13 at 1457, RHC is S9 but undermodulated, 1500
dead air and off; meanwhile, 13700 is VG S9+10 but no spurs.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, Nov 13 at 1553, CRI English relay is S9+10 but just
barely modulated including some hum. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 11630, Nov 13 at 2227, interview in Japanese, at S9+20, so
strong an NHK relay? No, it`s direct from Yamata at 2100-2300 but 235
degrees oppositeward. Another curiosity, plenty big 300 kW signal off
the back at 55 degrees thisaway, or really misaligned reverse off the
front? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6957-USB, Nov 13 at 2219, UNIDENTIFIED S9 wild
tones, no carrier but seems centered here, followed by normal-sounding
SSTV and off 2220.6*. One other unID report of this:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74231.0.html
who calls the sounds ``Electro dubstep music``, and also earlier:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74228.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 13710, Nov 13 at 1458, Riyadh has heavy CCI
from something at tune-in, then clear S9/+10 beginning Qur`an. Nothing
currently scheduled up to 1500 on 13710 in Aoki or EiBi, but in HFCC
something in Kurdish via Moldova from BRB, which might well be wooden.
In A-season however, CRI English via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of
cultural genocide, was heard on 13710 until 1457 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Fri Nov 13 at 1505, and still 1546, open carrier dead
air at S6-S9, likely REE, while 9690 has a JBA carrier, nothing on
11940 or 11685. 12030 for ME is supposed to start at 1500 weekdays,
1400 weekends. Something`s not right at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Nov 13 at 0706, and at 2223 chex, NO signal from
WRMI-5; it`s never very strong or loud here, but now must be off the
air. Ivo Ivanov and Wolfgang Bueschel first noted its absence on Nov
11. NO mention of its absence or what is being done about it as of
2320 UT Nov 13 by WRMI on disgraced FB; unlike about the going and
coming of 9395 WRMI-6. It seems 5950 disappeared about the same time
9395 resumed, coincidence? 5950 had been 24 hours, even in the daytime
for short-range coverage on a 285 degree WNW azimuth, same as 7730
which is always much stronger here; was mostly TOMBS System C, or SMTV
System J, but also a variety of breakouts for Systems D, F and G
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Fri Nov 13 at 1511, this WRMI-3 is off, just
some residual pulse jamming. For a while it was extended past 1500.
Now skedgrid shows only on Sat & Sun until 1530 with `Full Gospel
Hour`, i.e. Blalock the Blaster, but is he still on WRMI? WBCQ said
that ``sweetheart`` quit over there, out of money (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat Nov 14 at 0103, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`,
declared to be ``live`` but never heard a YOOL date mentioned during
following hour; he never does so at the outset. First recommends a
27-minute B&W film produced in 1947y by NBC with a tour of Rockefeller
Center, ``Behind Your Radio Dial`` --- search that title on YouTube.
The lo-fidelity of telco transmitter feed lines back then. Early TV;
reminiscences of AHW`s father, who was brilliant --- too smart to be a
politician. Again they are trying to avoid politix, ``keeping the
powder dry``. Angela should have her own show to let loose on
political rants, AHW is seriously considering if she can be persuaded.
She erupts yelling a few times now, not good for the mikes nor for
listenears. ``This just can`t happen!!!``, i.e. Biden instead of
Trump. 0141 says on 7490 and 6160 now; neither checked here direct or
on remotes. Explaining clear-channel distant MW propagation. 0153
reads a few emails, one about the ``sham-demic``, that all
Democrat[ic] governors should be removed, to which AHW agrees. ``Still
waiting to acquire WHRI; it is going to happen``. 0158 prayer and over
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Nov 13 at 1549, several phone hams on USB in the 18 MHz
band, so I check 21 MHz whether it could be open? 21022 has a strong
CW calling CQ way too fast, and some other digital sounds below 21100,
but not a trace of any USB hams up to 21450 --- yet the band is open
from somewhere; not paying attention? Are there any constant beacons
on 14m like 10m? On 13m, 21525 WRMI is as usual a JBA carrier at best
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0228 UT November 14

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 13 at 0111 quick check via TWR Bonaire SDR,
anonymous mystery missionary station is still going with gospel huxter
in Spanish. At night I can always get at least a weak carrier here,
and as late as 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR [and non]. 1510.275v kHz, Nov 13, at 0117 I am looking for
R. Monumental, Quito, which was reported last night by Mark Connelly,
MA as off-frequency 1519.29 and thus an enhanced DX target. A few chex
in OK have not detected a carrier or het yet, so how about the TWR
Bonaire KiwiSDR? At first in SynchAM it shows a carrier as measured
above but then loses out to locking onto 1510.0 signals. I briefly do
hear some `Andean` music but can`t tell from which frequency.
Waterfall also has a JBV just-barely-visible trace on 1512.0, Sa`udi
Arabia on at this hour, unlike 1521??

At 0122 begins to dominate an American talkshow in English on 1510. No
Middle- or South-American likely in English except maybe Hosanna Radio
in Panama, but this unseems gospelic. Could it be WLAC Nashville? 50
kW night pattern has a notch toward Birmingham and Montgomery and
beyond. But since last summer, WLAC has been ND day and night, but cut
to quarter-power of 12.5 kW at night, which seems to be a standard FCC
allowance when something is wrong with a night pattern. And I suppose
it still is, for definite ID at 0129 as WLAC. Distance to Bonaire:
3251 km = 2020 statute miles = 1755 nautical miles; and most of the
miles on the path are nautical, not thru Alabama, but Jaxonvil and
Port-au-Prince (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 900, Nov 13 at 0137, bigsig in Spanish with ads, then
``Doble-U Radio, 96.9`` ID, so XEW just like in old times maybe with
some southern enhancement. IRCA Log shows 250/250 kW but we long
suspected it was underpowered; WRTH shows only 100 kW. For many years
another XE was in the way and still in WRTH 2020, XEOK in Monterrey,
but Log shows XEW is now the only Mexican on 900, as surely befits its
super-power clear-channel status desde el centro (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 640, Nov 12 at 1326 UT, KWPN Moore is OFF. Hardly needed
with more stupid sportstalk on several other OKC AM&FM stations, e.g.
WKY 930 and WWLS 98.1 - former call of 640. Recheck at 0138 UT Nov 13,
it is back on and a major obstacle to KFI or anything else. While off
in the daytime, I should have sought WOI on groundwave or even
skywave. BTW, I have not heard any IBOC noise from KWPN in a long
time, altho still ``I`` in NRC AM Log 2020-2021.

BTW2, it would be hard to find [m]any state[s] with no AM stations
lower than 640 as in OK. With plenty of spare time, one could study
pages 253-274 of the NRC AM Log. Starting at the end, I see that
onesuch is WY, starting at 650 KGAB, which can barely make it here on
a very quiet day (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 269-MCW kHz, Nov 12 at 0701 UT, ND beacon BEX, which is 25
watts from Bloomfield, Iowa, due south of Ottumwa, closer to
Missouri. Believe it`s new here.

338-MCW kHz, Nov 12 at 0707 UT, NDB RYN, 400 watts from Tucson - Ryan
AZ.

344-MCW kHz, Nov 12 at 0709 UT, NDB JA, 400 watts from Jaxonvil -
Dinsmore, Florida; I was tuned to 342-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 2217-USB kHz, UT Thu Nov 12 at 0158 UT, surprise MARS net
hosted by AAR6SM, other calls mentioned, usually just the suffixes,
6AD, 6DE, 6RL. The 2 MHz band is a vast wasteland, which could have
been filled by MW fundamentals alleviating the terrible congestion
below 1710. Now hardly anything is heard but WWV and the Canadian
marine weather stations --- not even any MWDX harmonix for many months
despite thousands of stations which could provide them. Beacon `A` has
been gone from 2097.3 for months, but yesterday Harold Frodge in MI
was hearing single-letter `I` on ``2097``, so could that be the same
unknown site coming back, miskeying? Was it really 2097.3-CW? I don`t
get any significant search hits on 2217 or AAR6SM; must be
well-veiled. Anyone know where he be? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2060)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2059 monitoring: a couple of
obvious mistakes in previous report of Nov 11 said Nov 12, fixed:

WOR 2059 confirmed Wed Nov 11 from 2200:21 on WBCQ 7490+v, S9/+25,
nice to hear such a good signal from this, only in the B-seasons.

Also confirmed Wed Nov 11 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/30 on one radio
here, S9+10/20 on another, over pulse jamming.

WOR 2060 confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday Nov 13 at 0130 on WRMIs:
at Bonaire SDR, 5010 S9/+10, 5850 S7-S9 with noise similar to pulse
jamming which I have never heard at home. Here, 5010 is S9/+10 with
QRM from chirps about 5007, less than once a second and nothing to do
with WWV 5000 which BTW is weakened; 5850 S9+30 VG solid (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6905.9v, Nov 13 at 0112, no signal audible from ROCV
into nearby Bonaire SDR; recheck 0213 still inaudible but waterfall
has a visible trace of something. Last time I heard it, modulation was
distorted, so maybe it crashed. Gone forever or not? Was always music,
nothing political, so Maduro had no reason to crush it.

[non] BTW, there is a little-noticed clandestine/opposition program
for a long time on WRMI, `Acontecer Venezolano`. Current skedgrid
shows it only twice: UT Fri at 0100-0115, UT Sun 0215-0230 both on
9955. BTW2, Mrs. White, Thaïs is from Venezuela, no doubt with family
there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0408 UT November 13

** CANADA. 328-MCW kHz, Nov 11 at 0739 UT, ND beacon dash and YTL,
which is 1000 watts from Big Trout Lake, Ontario, way north of Thunder
Bay, last logged Oct 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Anomalies from RHC as I start tuning Nov 11 at 1433: spurblob
circa 13838, which would be 2 x +69 kHz out of 13700 transmitter, but
shortly disappears, and by the time I get to 13700 it is vacant too;
and so is 13740. At 1436, I find 15140 also AWOL, 15230 on but
undermodulated, 11760 JBA but quickly pops up to S9+10.

At *1439, 13700 comes back on at S9, and simultaneously 13740 back too
at S9+20: proof that both are from same site, Bauta or Bejucal, only
one of which has suffered a power failure.

Also on now are the FMish extremely distorted spurblobs out of 13700,
with F# telltale tone, ~69 kHz intervals: primaries 13769V noticeably
wobbling too, and 13631 S7-S9; second-orders 13562 & 13838;
third-order JBA 13493; all still going at 1507 after 13740 is off.

Tnx to Jean-Michel Aubier, France who just informed the WOR iog that
RHC has finally posted new B20 skeds on its website by language,
including English, but not effective until Tuesday November 17:

Note reactivation of 6060, NO 6145, NEW 9700, for Washington one
frequency 6000 at overlapping times?? Africa service reactivated on a
higher frequency for winter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SLOVENIA [and non]. 18125-USB, Nov 11 at 1510, S57DX calling CQ17
and making quick contacts with N American stations; also heard K3LLT
et al. mentioned. S57DX is getting to be a regular here, when little
else is in from Europe.

18133-USB, only other phone signal on band at first was W5JI working a
JBA F1: W5JI, JOSEPH S DI MARE, JR, LAKELAND, FL 33803 USA, per
QRZ.com. I figured he must be beyond the real too-near #5 call area.
But this means WRMI with at least 100X the power would have been well
heard if it were using any 16m band frequency, unlike 13m, 21525,
never more than a JBA carrier here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 11 at 2322, VOT English via UTwente is VG S9+20
but with buzz which seems self-imposed rather than QRM; feature about
the Ottoman Empire, yet another Wednesday with no `Letterbox`; more
features and lots of music. Something`s always awry at Ankara,
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 383-MCW kHz, Nov 11 at 0731 UT, ND beacon CNP, which is 25
watts from Chappell, southwest Nebraska. Rarely heard, last logged
March 18, 2020.

347-MCW kHz, Nov 11 at 0734 UT, NDB AFK, which is 25 watts from
Nebraska City, NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2059 monitoring: altho on the WRMI
skedgrid for Wed 1030 on 5850, confirmed NOT on the air but instead
Brother Hystairical, by overnight recording here, and also tnx to
Wolfgang Bueschel, Richard Langley and Dave Kenny for checking.

This means none of the shown 10-11 UT programs on System F 5850 really
exist, such as Wavescans, all of which have been removed for latest
update of my DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
as well as WORLD OF RADIO schedule
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

For many months there have also appeared three WOR airings between
2100 and 2200 on WRMI System D but with NO frequencies! Another
imaginairing is Wed 2100 on System F 7780. History of that from our
http://www.angelfire.com/ok/worldofradio --

``2020: On Wed Jan 1 & 8, another secret/not on schedule airing of WOR
monitored at 2100 on WRMI 7780. Added to their schedule by Jan 15. Wed
Mar 11 at 2100, WRMI deleted WOR on 7780 in favor of something else.``
Which was This `Is A Music Show`, and *still* confirmed there on Nov
11 contrary to skedgrid.

WOR 2059 confirmed Wed Nov 12 from 2200:21 on WBCQ 7490+v, S9/+25,
nice to hear such a good signal from this, only in the B-seasons.

Also confirmed Wed Nov 12 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/30 on one radio
here, S9+10/20 on another, over pulse jamming. Next and last:

0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer search, Nov 10 at 1350, none WOOB higher than
JBA carriers on 10920, 10720; at 1353, JBA or JBACs on 9215, 9290,
9315, 9320, 9340, 9355, 9370 --- but per Aoki of these, 9290, 9340,
9355 and 9370 are all something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. Evening CNR1 jammer search WOOB, Nov 10 from 2310: JBA or
JBA carriers, u.o.s. Strong 13070 S6-S9 brought up on second receiver
for easily // chex. Started tuning down from 14000; there may have
been some above: 13160, 13130, 13070, 12880, 12835 S5-6, 12820, 12550
S6-8, 12500 S6-7, 12230 S6-7, 12210, 12190.

At 2319, 11775 inband // 13070.

From 2321: 11750 S4-6, 11580 S3, 11520 S3, 11500 S2, 11440, 11170,
11150, 11120, 11100 S6-8, 10970 S7-8, 10920 S7-8, 10870 S5-6, 10820
S4-6, 10160 S8-9! - but avoids the ``30m`` hamband up to 10150.

From 2327: 9180, 9200 S9+20/25, 9215 S7, 9230?, 9300 S7-8 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6090, Nov 11 at 0005, poor Chinese not // CNR1 11070 etc.,
rather CNR2, China Business Radio. Aoki/NDXC shows site Golmud 916,
while EiBi shows q which is really the same:
q-Ge'ermu/Golmud "916" (Qinghai) 36N26-95E00
Would you believe Aoki/NDXC still shows on 6090 the Anguillan part of
Great Britain; and Bandeirantes/Brasil.

6080, Nov 11 at 0006, CNR1 at S9+10 not a jammer but // 11070 which
is; site also q, only one myriahertz separate from 6090 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11790, Nov 10 at 2318, discussion in American English, so
likely CRI, certainly not VOA! Yes, sked CRI 23-01 via Xianyang site;
and not hearing any RHC spur from 11800 which is fairly strong; nor on
11810 but something else, per Aoki/NDXC CNR8 in Mongolian from Beijing
site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15125, Nov 11 at 0013, English narration with music, and
voicing-over a bit of Chinese, so it`s CRI via Beijing site for SE
Asia but good here, noticed when tuning 15120 for absent CRI relay via
Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Nov 10 at 0653, RHC English is suptorted here, but OK
on 6145, and 5040 still on; plus 6000 but undermodulated. Now the
nominal English hours on 5040 should be 00-01 & 06-07 only.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW, the ``African`` hour in English
in B-seasons had been at 2200 but I have not hunted for it since that
disappeared mid-summer when it was at 2300 on 7380 // 5040 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Nov 10 at 1345, RHC is not on here but is on 13740.
Aoki/NDXC shows 13740 Bejucal at 12-14, and 13700 Bauta at 14-16, but
they usually overlap considerably. EiBi agrees with NDXC except puts
both in Bauta. No spurs possible with 13700 off, but Mark Coady had
some the following hour today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Nov 11 at 0010, JBM Spanish, wonder if an RHC program?
No, not // 6000, 11760 or 11950 and eventually talking about China, so
CRI relay as scheduled; however, no signal on // 15120. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 11 at 0010, RHC Spanish discussion of US politix,
running 5 seconds behind 5025 R. Rebelde, so both are simulcasting the
`Mesa Redonda` TV show; also on // 11950 at 0018 only S6 and JBM. But
not on any other RHC channel, own Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [and non]. 7445, Nov 10 at 0656, quite a collision here,
BBCWS in English until 0659.5*, and something in Japanese at equal
level --- one transmitter with double feed, or two? No SAH detectable.
B-20 HFCC shows BBC ASCENSION at 0600-0700, but NHK is not supposed to
start until 0700! It does keep going solo after BBC quits, timesignal
at ToH. This one is 300 kW, 85 degrees direct from Yamata for CIRAF 14
& 16 = Chile, Argentina, most of Uruguay and half of Paraguay &
Bolivia, at 0700-0900 UT, i.e. starting at 3 or 4 am local! Are the
Japanese immigrant community there known for early-rising? This would
be much better suited for Hawaii on the way at 9-11 pm HST! But this
morning turned on a bit earlier? Aha, Aoki/NDXC shows *0655, and also
that 7445 BBC is *jammed; its 65-degree azimuth across Africa must be
intruding into Chicomland, where far too many Mandarins understand
English and otherwise would risk corruption by the truth (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9515, Nov 10 at 2026-2028*, soft orchestral music,
maybe looping as an IS? Good with some flutter. It`s AWR French aimed
USward across Africa at 320 degrees from Talata with 250 kW from
2000.

9855, Nov 10 at 2029, open carrier at S9/+10, 2030 NHK World Radio
Japon opening in French, somewhat undermodulated. Could be same Talata
transmitter just closed on 9515; now it`s 250 kW at 305 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA. 8989-USB, Nov 10 at 2327, VP Spanish with predicator
exaggerated self-confident intonation, presumed the fisher-preacher in
or near Nic waters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU [non]. 5980, Nov 10 at 2316, no trace of a carrier from R.
Chaski, just Cuban pulse jamming originally for now vacated Radio
Martí, and also some bubble jamming centred circa 5980.3 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5896.50-USB, Nov 11 at 0015, MARS net with sporadic voice
contacts, blaaps; one clear fonetik ID from AFA6PY, but where? Hardly
any hits searching on call, not even license plates. Have had several
logs since 2016 of MARS net here around this hour, just outside the
ITU official 5900+ SWBC band, despite loads of stations down to 5800;
but no QRM to this net now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Nov 10 at 1354, WRMI-6 is back on! At full power and
modulation, S9/+10 with Oldies, IDs. Had been off for two sesquiweeks,
since Oct 20 with very serious problems as discussed in the WOR iog.
Also still on at 2024 check with interminable SMTV ID including this
and the other WRMI frequencies with general nominal coverage areas.

9955, meanwhile, Nov 10 at 2029, WRMI-3 is still BSing // 9980 WWCR
and 9455 WRMI; 9955 had been reactivated daytimes in place of 9395.
Maybe now it will resume radio silence between 15 and 21, later after
15 on weekends. 9395 runs 24 hours, with quite a variety of Systems
input depending on time, per http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs ---
C, F, G, H, J. The transmitter grid has been updated as of today.
WRMI posted this on disgraced FB, 42 minutes before 2204 UT Nov 10:

``9395 kHz back on the air! We are happy to say that WRMI now has the
frequency of 9395 kHz back on the air. The programs which were
temporarily transferred to 9455 kHz have now returned to 9395, and
9455 kHz is back to its regular programming. Thanks for your patience
while our 9395 kHz transmitter was being repaired, and thanks to our
engineers Don Frish and Pat Travers for all of their work on this
unit.``

As for all three 7 MHz WRMIs severely degraded last evening, they were
back up to usual levels by 0700; must have been an ionospheric
disturbance which later abated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VIETNAM. 11719.9, Nov 10 at 2320, poor S4 in tonal language; per
Aoki/NDXC it`s VOV-1, nominal 11720 from a station replete with
offfrequenciness.

12018.8, Nov 10 circa 2317, another longtime cockeyed VOV JBA carrier,
scheduled now in Indonesian on rounded `12019` per EiBi but this
block of languages absent from Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9292.2-USB, Nov 10 at 2329 as I am scanning for CNR1
jammers, some 2-way in Spanish; cambio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0256 UT November 11

** PERU [non]. 5980, further checking for R. Chaski, Nov 9 at 2346:
there is a carrier mixed with Cuban pulse jamming, adding up to
S9/+10, surely too much to be Urubamba, but what? At 2353 modulation
starts with the Iranian choral national anthem, and then Qur`an, i.e.
the standard sign-on of IRIB, for the Spanish to S America service of
La Voz de la República Islámica de Irán, starting at 2350. So even if
OBX4M were on until 0000, it would be blown away by this.

Here are the significant entries in EiBi:
5980 1700-2200 TUR Voice of Turkey TU Eu e
5980 1730-2352 PRU R.Chaski Red Integridad S,Q PRU ur
5980 2350-0250 IRN IRIB Voice of I.R.Iran S SAm s
5980 1100-1630 PRU R.Chaski Red Integridad Q PRU ur

Notice how the Chaski sign-off seems to be coördinated with the Irán
sign-on, more likely coincidental? But even in Perú they could well be
aware of when Irán takes over their frequency. So our window for
possibly hearing it will be between 2200 and 2345v, not to mention
around sunrizzze (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2059 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue Nov 10 at
0100 on WRMI 7780 via UTwente SDR, S9 but only poor and noisy.
Virginia, Maine and New York SDRs are not getting it or only traces.
At 0127 I try direct and get maybe a JBA carrier, while the other 7
MHz WRMIs, normally loud and clear aimed more thisaway, are also
severely degraded, 7570 JBA and 7730 JBA carrier. This is hard to
understand from WWV data at 00 and 03: K-index 0 and solar flux a
whopping 90! But MUF over FL-OK path is way, way down, as we are into
wintrish darkness.

Also confirmed UT Tue Nov 10 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9/+10 into TWR
Bonaire SDR; following the same Spanish ID twice by Dino at 0329-0330.
Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW [new? unconfirmed]
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 7505, Nov 10 at 0207, no signal from WRNO, suspect really
off rather than awful propagation; nor detectable at Bonaire, 0352
check; while at 0207, 5085, WTWW-2 is a poor S9 direct instead of
usual blaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6905.9-RCUSB, Nov 9 at 2356, drumming music, but
modulation is very defective and crackly, S6-S7 into Bonaire SDR.
Toggling the step-tuning in USB, zero-beat seems about 6905.80 but
when tuned to 6905.70 in SAM mode, the carrier offset reads out +230v
Hz, which adds up to 6905.93. Nov 10 at 0001, automated timecheck and
ROCV 6906 ID. Recheck at 0328, still the same distorted modulation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 10 from 0134
UT: more signals have a (2) beat than when I usually check later as
now more of Europe is still in darkness, even into AfroAsia. 531,
576(2), 639, 693, 711, 738, 747, 774(2), 837(2), 855(2), 882(2), 891*,
909, 936, 999, 1044(2), 1053(2), 1089*, 1098, 1107(2), 1134, 1152(2),
1215, 1305(2), 1413 kHz. *strongests, likely Algeria and UK (Glenn
