** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Oct 10 at 1518, another sporadic Saturday broadcast from LRA36, almost all chat in Spanish, S4-S7 to Brasil SDR, brief music break at 1605 and ``Nacional`` ID at 1607; still yak until 1640 with brief songs and canned ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 317-MCW kHz, Oct 10 at 0620 UT, dash and VC, ND beacon 1000 watts from La Ronge, Saskatchewan, which is toward the end of civilization beyond the 55th parallel. 328-MCW kHz, Oct 10 at 0621 UT, dash and YTL, NDB 1000 watts from Big Trout Lake, Ontario, in the remote northwest, roughly 54 N/90 W, 580 km N of Thunder Bay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchenuhmaykoosib_Inninuwug_First_Nation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 19, Oct 10 from 1530 UT, again today zero DTV signal from KAUT OKC ``43``, down for some reason. Nothing found about the outage on website https://kfor.com/freedom-43/ --- who cares? It`s still on cable (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TAIWAN. 15665, Oct 10 at *0200, RTI cuts on just in time for special live coverage in English of National Day #109. Good signal via S Korea SDR; Chinese language version was already running well on two other 19mb frequencies. Hosted by informal W&M, saying national anthem is to play right away at ``10:00 precisely``, but I don`t hear it. Some of their comments seem scripted, others off-the-cuff describing what is going on or translating portions of speeches. Of course celebrating the greatness of Taiwan, not least the low rate of COVID-19. There is constant Chinese in the background, which in this case is self-imposed QRM. It`s annoying to English speakers, and Chinese-speakers would not get anything out of it either with English constantly talking over it! At 0222, ``you are watching live coverage on Radio Taiwan International`` --- oh yeah? this is a radio station, and no less on shortwave. By 0250 the closing ceremony is starting, when I go hunting on the RTI website for a video feed, and finally find it as a thumbnail, finally2 figure out how to enlarge it. Audio and video there are asynchronous, let alone with the SW feed, but labeled ``Join 磊神 Leslie Liao and Natalie Tso 竺瑞娟 as they bring you live coverage of the 109th National Day Celebrations in Taiwan!`` So anyway get to see them at their anchor desk, if not any of the preceding pageantry. Soon they wrap up and off both by 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 12080, Sat Oct 10 at 1425, VOA with ``space music``, very pleasant and good S8-S9 signal, the best extracontinental on band. Once again the VOA Korean service presents some VG music; soon 1429 announcement in Korean, more music. This is at 1200-1500, 250 kW, 21 degrees from Tinang, PHILIPPINES, thus fortuitously also aimed right back CONUSward far beyond target. And never any jamming noted. This is also on 9410, same parameters at 1400-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2055 monitoring: confirmed UT Sat Oct 10 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9 here vs S7 noise level; at 0137, S7-S9 and noisy at UTwente, VG S8-S9 and not noisy at Maine SDR. Also confirmed Sat Oct 10 at 1130 on WRMI 9955, JBA on PL-880 whip. Also confirmed Sat Oct 10 at 1322 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, poor-fair S9.

Also says Jason will be on at 10 pm [02 UT Sat] on 6160 with Rock show. 0055 finally reveals it is 9th of October, YOOL 2020 from Studio 9 in Deland of Fla. Says 5130 is temporarily for standby use. Reads a bit from Free Radio Weekly starting with the 6906 Venezuelan which seems not to be a pirate, but with no details; benedixion and off. Back at start 0000, I was listening to Area 51 webcast; after WTO theme, usual fumbling with mikes and compliments to Angela. I can only assume he`s always running late, or does it this way to initiate an air of informality. Right into politix so I skip to the end (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17775-, Sat Oct 10 at 1506, zero signal here from KVOH, but at 1517 check via Brasil SDR, good S9/+5 during `Wavescan` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 10 from 0629: 531, 549, 558, 585, 603, 612, 621, 684(2), 711, 774(2), 837, 846(TP), 855(2), 882, 909, 1098, 1125, 1215, 1710(domestic) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4985, Oct 10 at 0109, heavy RTTY is here, not 4895 or 4905 as previous nights. Unless I hear more than one at a time, I shall suspect it`s a single transmitter, NSS nominal 4985 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1646 UT October 10

** 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]. WORLD OF RADIO 2055 monitoring: confirmed first broadcast UT Friday October 9 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG S9+30; 5010 S9+10 but noisy. Next: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 to NE 1130 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2300 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0400] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0130 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 61 to WSW 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks for an anonymous contribution by money order or check in US funds on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Financial support may alternatively be sent via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com - not necessarily US funds as PP will convert (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. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 9 at 0613-0618: 576(2), 585, 612, 621, 657, 684(2), 747(2), 774(2), 837, 846(TP), 855, 882(2), 891, 1026(2), 1044, 1107, 1125(2), 1134(2), 1152, 1215, 1314(2), 1413, 1503; 1710-domestic (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) ** CANADA. 6754.8-USB, Oct 8 at 0623, CHR Trenton Military still 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 Oct 8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2055) ** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 8 at 0348, anonymous mystery missionary station with only poor S5-S6 signal into TWR Bonaire SDR, but typical g.h. programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Oct 8 at 1344, R.

** CANADA. 278-MCW kHz, Oct 7 at 0620 UT, dash and NM, which is 500-watt NDB from Matagami, Quebec (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 15035.8-USB, Oct 7 at 1456, CHR Trenton Military is still off-frequency for a second day instead of 15034-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Oct 7 at 1359, JBA carrier on 11440, the 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, OK, WOR) ** 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 http://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm None of the six stations in this region is scheduled to start anytime between 0437 and 0737; what a surfeit. BTW, archive search shows this is the first time I have used the word ``surfeit`` in at least the 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. Tamazuj via FRANCE as scheduled this hour only; of more note is the absence of mystery noise which infested this frequency for several days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 338-MCW kHz, Oct 7 at 0613, ND beacon RYN, which is 400 watts from Tucson - Ryan, Arizona; mixing with OIN, Oberlin KS from 341.

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, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 7 from 0603: 585(2), 603, 612, 621, 684, 747, 774, 801, 837(2), 855(2), 882(2), 936, 1044, 1098, 1107, 1125(2), 1134, 1179, 1215; 1710(2-domestic).

** BRAZIL. 4985, Oct 7 at 0104, JBA carrier presumed R. Brasil 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) ** VENEZUELA. 6906.08-CUSB, Oct 6 at 2333 UT, Venezuela 93.7 FM relay in well at S6-S7 via SDR Bonaire with timecheck as 7:32, consistently 1 minute slow; automated with hour by OM voice, minute by YL. Not hearing even a JBA carrier direct, but back via Bonaire at 0141 and 0154 still going with music at S5-S6; 0155 TC as 9:54. Tnx to Antonello Napolitano, Italy for sending on this further info: ``Hi Glenn, This post (from Santiago San Gil G.) about Venezuelan station on 6906 kHz appeared on the Facebook group EMISORAS DOMESTICAS Y TROPICALES (MW Y SW TROPICAL Y DOMESTICA) VENEZUELA: 6.906 KHZ RADIO ONDA CORTA VENEZUELA -R.O.C.V- EL TIGRE, ESTADO ANZOÁTEGUI. 50 VATIOS. En período de prueba y en trámites de permisos ante Conatel -organismo rector de las telecomunicaciones-. Actualmente estan retransmitiendo la programación de Venezuela 93,7 FM, pero también lo harán con Radio La Voz del Tigre 980 kHz. Al respecto Robert Lozada, jefe de programación nos comenta lo siguiente 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) This report dispatched at 0329 UT October 7
