** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Wed Oct 14 at 1810, another try at English
from RTA via FRANCE. Again poor signal at UTwente, and even worse to
Spain, South Africa, Qatar and Kuwait SDRs, but ICELAND is sufficient
off the back S4-S6 and echoey as I pay attention from 1825: now in
French; 1835 pause for Qur`an; 1838 back to French; 1844 météo avec
musique; 1846 item about Nations-Unies; 1851 Arabic to 1859* off. No
English during this period, so is there ever, anymore? BTW, météo
meaning weather is missing from my neat handy little Collins
French/English 760-page pocket dixionary first published in 1952y:
must be a neologism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0614 UT, ND beacon dash and WG,
which is 1000 watts from WinnipeG, Manitoba, *much* stronger than the
others now and often:

250-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0613 UT, ND beacon dash and FO, which is 1600
watts from Flin Flon, Manitoba. ``Flin Flon shares the distinction of
being named after a character in an adventure novel with Tarzana,
California.`` --- bing. 2066 km = 1284 statute miles from Enid.

258-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0612 UT, ND beacon dash and ZSJ which is 1000
watts from Sandy Lake, Ontario, not South Africa. I was tuned to
257-USB. Wikipedia:

``Sandy Lake First Nation (or Negaw-zaaga'igan Nitam-Anishinaabe,
Oji-Cree: ᓀᑲᣞ ᓵᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ ᓂᑕᒼ ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯ) is an independent Oji-Cree First
Nations band government. The First Nations community, in the west part
of Northern Ontario, is located in the Kenora District, 227 km (141
mi) northeast of Red Lake, Ontario.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 19, Oct 14 at 1515 UT, still no signal from KAUT OKC.
Rabbitears.info shows it has transitioned to ATSC 3.0 as of October 8,
the only Market 50 station so far, and as related to KFOR. None others
in OK or KS, and in TX only in Austin and DFW. Very few overall.

No signal registers visibly, of course, nor even on the STB meter, but
presumably is there, and enough to block any DX of either standard.
KAUT ``Freedom 43`` programming in ATSC 1.0 is allegedly now on the RF
27 KFOR transmitter, but I am not getting any sign of it, just KFOR
and its usual -2, -3 and -4 subchannels. Surely the STB would step on
to -5 or whatever? Rabbitears.info is not showing programming transfer
to KFOR.

I asked KWTV/KSBI engineering director Jack Mills about this, and he
thinx the only way to get KAUT in would be to rescan. But STBs should
not require that, and my other TV which does, Sanyo, I never want to
rescan since it may miss marginal signals at the moment which are
already scanned in! Never buy a TV which can be set up for tuning
*only* by scanning! Cannot even add or delete channels at will (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. RF 20, Oct 14 at 1513 UT, KTXS 12-1 is decoding, tnx to
tropo blob as forecast by Hepburn, from marginal here to levels 5-6
SSW into W central TX, i.e. Sweetwater station at 494 km = 307 miles
city-to-city. With ABC, The View sporadically decoding, and also at
1532, CW on 12-2 and MeTV on 12-3. Otherstation in market, KRBC NBC
``9`` is now on RF 29 so blocked here by KTUZ or maybe QRMing it. I
had both 9 and 12 many times back in the analog VHF TVDX era. KTXS
runs 530 kW ERP from 1319 feet HAAT per rabbitears.info and is also
direxional skewed eastward toward Abilene, also with beam tilt. Level
1 tropo into S Kansas is enough to inbring sporadically KDCU RF 31
``31``, Derby-Wichita with Univision bug LR at 1523. Both to my
bent-mast and broken antenna at roof-level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2055 monitoring: final two airings:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

WOR 2056 should be ready by early UT Friday October 16 for first
broadcast at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 10194-USB, Oct 14 at 1407, WGY945 definitely IDed twice in
contact with anotherstation, informal weather discussion, digiblast
and nothing further for a few minutes. Searched out an ancient
27-year-old list by Richard Bak of FEMA frequencies, not including
this one, and calls, this one having been in Columbus OH;

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Tuesday October 13 at *1800, TDA relay via
FRANCE cuts on just in time, opening in Arabic with VG signal into
UTwente, atop self-jamming beepery also audible. Last summer it was
discovered that this hour, only, of RTA would often contain an English
segment out of the domestic international network, usually around the
half hour, but no one has reported it in a long time, so I am
rechecking today, listening after 1825 either live or by recording,
but the signal has faded down a lot. I can`t make out any English
after 1830, but at 1841 seems to have switched to French. After that,
so weak I can`t discern the language. Try another day, and/or another
remote site.

Drastic move down to 7375 for B-20 should improve close-in reception,
and if the segment shift one UT hour later between 19-20 due to going
off DST, both 7375 and 7315 will be available per:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B20&broadc=TDA
which also shows extensive imaginary schedule of RTA via the two sites
inside Algeria which have been ``under construxion`` for many, many
years, always with wooden HFCC schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Oct 13 at 2336-2348, not in the order
tuned, mostly fluttery JBA carriers at known spots, u.o.s.: 9180,
9200, 9280, 9300, 11070, 11100, 11460, 11500, 12210 Chinese, 12880,
13130 S9+10 Chinese talk and music, why so big, the rest so small?
13160, 14870, 14920, 15920, 16160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 13 at 0338, anonymous mystery missionary
station, with gospel huxter in Spanish, S9/+5 into Bonaire SDR with
characteristic minus 6.2 Hz carrier offset. Recheck direct at 0627,
same at S9 but poor in noise level here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7345, Oct 13 at 0602, BBCWS in English, poor with
Cuban pulse jamming. A fine example of Cuba not giving a damn about
collateral damage its excessive jamming may cause; since it`s
``needed`` only before 0200 UT when Radio Martí quits DRMing
7340-7345-7350.

BBC to Africa at 06-07 is via Ascension, but also on 7345 at 05-06 via
Vatican and 07-08 via São Tomë --- why change sites every hour;
because they can? 7345 once was useful here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, Oct 13 at 0604, NO signal from VON; it had been
reliable for quite a while checked almost every night after this hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.903, Oct 14 at 0021, JBA carrier, trace of mod?
Presumably the ailing WBCQ transmitter during `Old Tyme Radio`, close
to known offset but could be a local birdie. Nothing about this on the
program schedule website, but plans for a Thanxgiving special:
http://zappahead.net/#2020-1126-wbcq-thanksgiving
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Oct 13 at 0626, WWCR with S9+40 of dead air as often
during this frequency-hour; ho, hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Oct 13 at 0610 UT, amid TA carrier search including one
on 882, I notice that KRVN Lexington, Nebraska is still carrying Jim
Bohannon during this hour, despite missing from his website
station-finder, as has just appeared in NRC DX News (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6906.08-CUSB, Oct 13 at 0340, no signal into Bonaire
from ROCV. I wonder if it adhere to a specific schedule, or erratic.
Manuel Méndez, Spain, reports to the WOR iog that instead of Venezuela
93.7, it`s now relaying LV del Tigre, 980, and he was still hearing it
later on same date:

``6906.1, R. O. C. V., Radio Onda Corta Venezuela, El Tigre, heard
here in Friol today, 0425-0555, 13-10, extremely weak signal,
Venezuelan and pop songs, audible only at times, strong fading, no
identification can be heard due to the extremely weak signal. 15311.

Via SDR Kiwi remote receiver in Bonaire, heard with fair to good
signal, 0530-0640, 13-10. and I could observe that R. O. C. V. has
left relaying "Venezuela, 93.7 FM, Así Suena", and now is relaying "La
Voz del Tigre, 980 AM", Venezuelan and pop songs in English,
identifications: "Todo el día complaciendo a sus oyentes, La Voz del
Tigre", "Desde El Tigre, 980 AM", "980 en el dial, La Voz del Tigre",
"La Voz del Tigre, 980, la pionera", "980 AM, La Voz del Tigre".

The programming manager of the station confirms, via Whatsapp, that
the actual power is 50 watts, but in about 12 days they increase the
transmitter power, he also says R. O. C. V. means Radio Onda Corta
Venezuela`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 13 from 0610:
576, 621, 774(2), 855, 882, 936, 1044, 1089, 1098, 1107, 1116(2),
1125, 1134(2), 1305, 1503(2); 1710(domestic) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1710, Oct 13 at 0618 UT, JBA talk at the end of my TA
carrier search, probably the Hudson County NJ TIS.

BTW, I wonder what happened to that religious pirate in Bâton Rouge on
1690? Not heard since sometime last year. Website emphasizes streaming
of radio and TV but still claims 1690 toward the bottom of this page:
https://www.radioretenloquetienes.com/
And even displays the FCC logo with a reference to Part 15. They used
to claim an FM frequency too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PALAU [and non]. Re: T8WH PALAU firing back up:

Correspondence with Scott Reppert of Hope Radio:

``Mr Reppert, We are getting reports the last few days of Radio Free
Asia testing in Vietnamese at 1330-1430 UT on 9955 kHz. Is this via
Palau? Can you definitely confirm whether or not? Are you also
planning to lease it to RFA? Thanks, Glenn Hauser``, Oct 8.

``Glenn: It was not us. A link to our frequencies is below. We do not
have any plans to lease to anyone right now, but would possibly
consider it should something come our way.
https://www.hoperadio.net/frequencies
Scott Reppert``, Oct 12. Viz.:

``Winter Frequencies
Angel 3 0800-2300 UTC M-Sun 9930
Angel 4 0100-0500 UTC [days not specified] 15675
Angel 5 0800-1200 UTC [days not specified] 9965
*winter frequencies commence on October 25, 2020*``

``Scott, When do you expect to start testing? Since you are still
referring to the transmitters as Angels, will LeSea/FBC still be
involved in this, such as your leasing rather than buying them
outright? Glenn``

``I will have to check with our engineer on site to see when the
repairs we are making to the facilities will be done. When he gives us
the go-ahead, I'll let you know. Even though the Angel names were kept
(in honor of Dr. Sumrall), we own the stations outright. Scott``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, Oct 12, WOR iog)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2055 monitoring: confirmed Monday
October 12 from 1801.1 on IRRS, 7290 Bulgaria, VG S9+15/25 at UTwente.
Continued OK past 1810 but always with splash from Vietnam 7280 and/or
Iran 7300. 7290 open carrier already on at 1757; 1758.8 JIP rock song;
1759.8 IRRS/NEXUS ID with Milano PO Box and phone; 1800.6 Feature
Story News headlines then WOR. AMSynch frequency reads out 7289.99830
varying to 7289.99845 or so.

Also confirmed UT Tue Oct 13 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA here and sounds
undermodulated; but clockwise at a Rochester SDR closer to the beam
angle, it`s VG S9+5/10.

Also confirmed UT Tue Oct 13 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, Good S7-S8 at
Rochester; S9+15/20 at Bonaire; fair to portable/rod ATS-909 here.

Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 6160v, Oct 13 at 0005, Larry Will explains absence this
weekend: ``Hi Glenn, There was a lightning event at WBCQ on Saturday
evening at around 0030 UT Sunday October 11 that damaged some
equipment at the classic WBCQ facility, including the 6160 transmitter
and some of the support equipment for the AM and FM systems. 6160 is
back online this evening as I write this, although it is running on
lower power as repairs proceed. We expect full service to resume
sometime this week if all goes well. Thanks, Lw``

So then I check it at 0009 via Rochester SDR, VP S4-S6 with AMSynch
carrier offset reading minus 80 Hz, i.e. 6159.92. At 0013 direct to
here, JBA but measured 6159.920. Yet 7490.06 is S9+10 with cool jazz
on FTIOM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 13 at 0025 and still at 0200 chex, NO signal from
WRNO, gone again. Maybe crashed after last night`s distorted
overmodulation and splatter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer search, Oct 11 at 1343-1355, mostly JBA carriers
at known spots: 13835 S7, 13530 vs CODAR; 13130, 12820, 12500, 12190

** SAUDI ARABIA. 17615.069, Oct 11 at 1442, S9+10 Arabic talk and then
Qur`an, from the signature off-frequency SBC. 17705 is off, but //
17895.024, reading S9+10/20 but sounds slightly weaker. The SSOB by
far; finally getting an October propagation bump? Yet WWV forecast A
and K indices today a slight heft to 10 & 3; back to 5 & 2 until Oct
20-29 elevating, peaking 30 & 6 on Oct 25 with G2 storms. Axual
K-index at 1500 today is 0. Only 17615+ is still on at 1518 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Oct 11 at 1346, another banner day for
micro-propagation, JBA but sufficient beacon ID from K6FRC, Patterson,
California, which says it runs only 1.8 milliwatts. I`m still *never*
hearing any other HIFER beacons in the 13550-13570 band, nor K6FRC at
any other daypart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 9320, Oct 11 at 1355, Andean song with guitar, quena,
VG rivalling 9330 WBCQ, S9+10/20 with flutter, what in the world? VOA
Korean of course, as soon announcement in Korean, then ``Hush, Little
Baby`` in English. Soon found // 12080 and weaker 12045, while 9320
cuts off at 1359* so I retune to 9410 which pops on about *1359.5 amid
song, S9+10/20. HFCC shows 9320 & 9410 & 12080 all are 250 kW, 21
degrees USward from Tinang, PHILIPPINES. 12045 is 250 kW, 38 degrees

```OETA Announces New 24/7 Livestream
by Aaron Morvan • Published on October 5, 2020 • Last modified on
October 7, 2020 OETA Livestream PRESSROOM

Free Digital Option for Watching OETA

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – The Oklahoma Educational Television
Authority (OETA) has launched a free 24/7 livestream of its primary
channel across OETA and PBS digital platforms.

“As Oklahoma’s statewide public television station, it is our
responsibility to bring informative, educational and inspirational
content to all Oklahomans,” says Polly Anderson, executive director..
“Livestreaming our content allows us to reach a wider audience; such
as those without access to a reliable broadcast signal and
cord-cutters. We’re proud to launch this new feature as OETA prepares
to host Stephanie Bice and Kendra Horn in a debate Thursday, October 8
at 7 p.m., and in anticipation of the all-new format of The Oklahoma
News Report Friday, October 16 at 7 p.m. I encourage all Oklahomans to
take advantage of this free service by downloading the free PBS app.”

The new livestream mirrors OETA’s primary channel—featuring children’s
programming from 6 a.m.–5 p.m. followed by fan-favorites like Antiques
Roadshow, NOVA, PBS NewsHour, and The Oklahoma News Report. Viewers
can access the livestream at OETA.tv/live or through the PBS app for
Android and Apple devices, ROKU, Amazon Fire tablets, iOS, tvOS and
Chromecast. Viewers do not need to be Passport members or have a
PBS.org account to enjoy the benefits of this free service.```

You may also reach program schedules for all four channels and display
them in any timezone from Eastern to Chamorro. Chamorro?? Ex-Guam,
ChST, always UT+10, now inclusive of the NMI. Further:

``The Oklahoma News Report Celebrates 40 Years with a New Format

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – This October marks many new beginnings for
the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA). Not only do
several big dramas hit the small screen, but the station celebrates
the fortieth anniversary and debuts an all-new format of its news and
current affairs program, The Oklahoma News Report.

Starting Friday, October 16 at 7 p.m., The Oklahoma News Report
expands its weekly newscast, which Oklahomans know and trust, from a
half-hour to a full hour. In addition to its regular reporting, the
new format features a panel discussion composed of the state’s top
thought leaders, journalists and investigative reporters. The program
will also launch a new logo, graphics and set. For more information
about The Oklahoma News Report, visit OETA.tv/pressroom.``

For many years the ONR was 5-nightly half hour, but a drastic reduxion
a few years ago to only one semihour per week. Now at least that is
being doubled; on the original airing UT Saturdays at 0000, bumping
aside `Washington Week In Review` to 0100, with the 0130 slot filled
by a prepeat of `Firing Line` with the cute but Republican Margaret
Hoover, descendant of Herbert, who always worx in a clip of original
William F Buckley despite disclaimers that this FL has nothing to do
with the previous show, which IIRC did air in that same Friday evening
slot (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sun Oct 11 0100-0200, `Encore` VG via
WRMI, best time to hear it on only beam thisaway, also weaker 5010 to
south. Great classical music movements I was going to summarize from
playlist, but both of them are from last two weeks, not yet this:

** TURKEY. 9830, Sat Oct 10 at 2208, VOT English? Nothing but heavy
RTTY direct, and shortly no VOT into UTwente either, another missed
opportunity as something`s always erroneous at Emirler. I wonder if
any further Wed/Sat `Letterboxes` have been produced since last heard
sometime in August (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0040, NDB ULS, which is 25 watts from
Ulysses KS; surprisingly good signal, maybe sunsetskip enhanced?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5202.0-USB, UT Sun Oct 11 at 0035, S9+, Foxtrot unable to
copy somebody; AAR6EM replies about copying AAR6UK, i.e. an Army MARS
net; seems the are only setting up for digibursts, rather than
engaging in genuine human voice contacts. From UDXF iog logs, I gather
that 5202 is also an active Russian military frequency (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2055 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
October 10 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+10 at UTwenre.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 11 at 0326 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, good
via Warrenton MO SDR, about 7 minutes into so started circa 0319.

** U S A. 7489.99, Oct 11 at 0019, WBCQ back on the minus side with
`AAAWWW` playback from last night, politix; but NO signal on 6159.93v
where Area 51/61 should be, nor of course suspended 5130. Still no
6159.93v at 0157 check. What had been scheduled in EDT = UT -4:

Let`s hope it be restored by UT Monday; no computer handy for:
``You can listen to us on the internet at splatterbox.us ``

Not heard when I checked 5130, but then I see Area 51 `Lumpy Gravy`
show was widely heard on 5130-USB around 0030, via Sycko Radio, per
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,72762.0.html

** U S A. 7505, Oct 10 at 2210, surprise, WRNO is on already, S9+10
with screaming gospel huxter in English; also Oct 11 at 0024 check but
now gospel huxtress is just barely modulated. Has long been registered
available 22-16 UT on 7505, so can easily expand beyond curtailed
01-04 only until crash in June; they have a lot of lost time to make
up for. Furthermore, altho never used for many years, also registered
16-22 UT on 15590, both 50 kW at 20 degrees into western Ontario; so
keep an ear on that imaginary one too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Oct 11 at 0020, WTWW-2 still ham news, but by
0032, `TOUTA` has started, S9+45! but distorted, what a shame. Also
with JBA parasitic spurs plus/minus 13 kHz. Anyhow at 0039 before I
give up, I recognize Bob Heil`s comment about a Hammond Organ he
built, so this is a rerun. Not handy to switch to webfeed for pristine
$ tereo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5043.2 & 5056.8, Oct 11 at 0021, never heard before JBA
parasitic spurs matching 6.8 kHz plus/minus out of 5050.0 WWRB, which
is S9+40, extremely lo-fi and splatter QRM to the spurs; 0108 check,
5050 still on, but spurs are gone. Say, how about Dave`s BEACON?

475.2-MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0038, WA4SZE beacon at WWRB TN site is indeed
JBA with extremely slow CW ID. I know that other hams were complaining
long ago about this eating up so much of the 7-kHz-wide 630-m band
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1539.95 approx., Oct 11 at 0055 UT, TexMexmx, then mention
of ``Canal 57.5 - Houston``; Biden and other political ads in English
while music still plays. Not sure which is from the off-frequency,
which is surely KGBC Galveston TX, vs KEDA San Antonio. Virtual
Channel 57.5 in Houston = the fifth of six virtuals of KUBE RF 41
Baytown TX megawatt, ``Viene``, per W9WI.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6906.08-CUSB, Oct 11 at 0029 direct, VP S5 Spanish and
music, i.e. 93.7 relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 539.95 approx., Oct 11 at 0040, het upon 540 stations.
Nicaragua has been reported off-minus; mwoffsets shows:
539.860 NCG Radio Corporación (Managua/Tipitata) 0900-0600 2020-03-11
539.973 MEX XEWA Los 40 (San Luis Potosí) 24h 2020-03-11
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers, this time not a thoro
search in 9-kHz steps, but obvious hets upon 10-kHz stations, Oct 11
at 0047: 621, 711, 891 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
