** CANADA. 278-MCW kHz, 0625 UT Sept 15, JBA, dash and ND beacon NM,
500 watts from Matagami, Québec; new for me? Not quite, last logged:

``278 kHz, Dec 14 [2018] at 0717, beacon NM and dash: 500 watts from
Matagami, Quebec. Matagami is in a remote off-road area near 78 W/50
N, NNE of Rouyn-Noranda.``

Value-added info to this log per Wikipedia: ``Toponymy --- In Cree,
"matagami" means "meeting of waters", in reference to the large rivers
that join.`` And the town exists because of a zinc+ mine.

Interesting that its neighbor at DXinfocentre.com is at almost the
same latitude in SK within 16 seconds; no sign of that now:

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 4940-, Sept 15 at 0134 via TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR, anonymous
missionary station with M&W talk in Spanish only, reads S4-S5 in USB
reception, but S8-S9 in SynchAM, carrier offset varying from -2.8 to
-6.1 Hz. 0200 it`s peaking S9+15 at -4.3 to -4.6 Hz, protracted sermon
about Apocalipsis = Revelation. 0311 tropical music. 0356 yelling
preacher in echoey venue, with music. Outro program with club para
niños, addresses: Apartado 260, San José, 2120, Costa Rica, or
Historia Preferida, Casilla 14-23, Cochabamba, Bolivia; 0359 NO ID,
into songs; 0455 still/again music with automated? timecheck as 12:54,
0458 preacher, still past 0527. That`s UT-4 while Colombia is UT-5.
Others also report such timechex; this implies 4940 is for Venezuela
if not from inside that country. Of course they had been heard playing
part of the Colombian national anthem at *2300; but that could be
misdirexion. I posted to the WOR iog:

``OK, since the perpetrators are mum about what and where this station
really is, it`s about time to get on it with the TDOA direxion-finding
technique, triangulation or multiangulation using remote receivers.
First place to rule in or out is Puerto LLeras, which is in central
Colombia, SE of Bogotá, where 6010 & 5910 were located. Let us know
your results first!`` --- I myself have never tried this
Timed-Delay-Of-Arrival technique, and am not familiar with the
procedure, but others in our group have in other cases; yet no
replies, so far (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. Correcting WOR 2051 monitoring report of IRRS 7290,
Iran is on 7300 of course, not 7290; I did it again! Fixed:
...Again this week no 7291 warble, hope gone for good, but always
annoying inevitable splash from 7280 Vietnam and 7300 Iran; the latter
should be off after 1820... (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2051 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday
September 15 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9+10/20 at Bonaire SDR; but
recheck 0350 just in time to hear me cut off at 0350:40 for two IDs in
Spanish by Rudy and some Mexican, then fill music starting with a
version of ``Chariots of Fire``. I quickly asked WRMI to look into
this anomaly and prevent it from happening again. Next:

** BRAZIL. 4985, Sept 14 at 0621, S6-S9 music, presumed R. Brasil
Central, in the clear as RTTY is off! Ivo Ivanov also reports it
tonight at 0800 & 0900 via Brasilia SDR as ``reactivated``. Was it
really ever unactivated? Normally totally blocked here by RTTY from
NSS. EiBi shows both as 24 hours. Checked 11815v for RBC but nothing
there, maybe off and not only not propagable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 4940-, Sept 14 at 0346, new anonymous missionary station
is VP S5-S6 even at Bonaire which in AMSynch now shows carrier -5.4
Hz. Last check direct here at 0623 finds S8-S9 of talk and music, but
not enough vs noise level. In the WOR iog, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec in
Embu, SP, Brasil was hearing it even later, 0600-0808 mostly with
Spanish sermons being translated to English, and never any IDs even at
hourtops. Earlier log from me was English to Spanish --- sure about
that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145, UT Mon Sept 14 at 0616, RHC English with Arnie wrapping
up `DXers Unlimited` until 0618.5, then `Ed Newman` with Mailbag Show.
Ed make it sound so normal to be living in a Commie dictatorship! 6145
is S8-S9 with good modulation, while 6100 is S9+20 but undermodulated,
suptorted. 5040 and 6000 are off already. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

getting 8502-USB fairly via Bonaire SDR I happen to have up, but there
are probably better ways to hear them; 4316-USB not heard. Don`t
expect any breaking news of hurricane hits. EiBi shows nominal

** U S A [and non]. World of Radio 2051 monitoring: missed checking UT
Mon Sept 14 at 0030 on WRMI 7730; anyone hear it?

Confirmed UT Mon Sept 14 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S8-S9 at UTwente. Also
WRN webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 14 at 0230, VG on WRMI 7780 via UTwente;
and also VG on 5800 via some closer SDR, Rochester?

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 14 starting late on Area 51 webcast, from
0308.8, after some Mantovani music and closing by a monthly DJ whose
name I did not catch; while WBCQ 5130 achieves only a JBA carrier into
Rochester, likely less here; and no signal on 6159.9. Meanwhile Larry
will explained:

``Hi Glenn, American Debauchery with Duane Bruce ran a little late
tonight, so WOR will be on about 7 or 8 minutes late on 5130. Hope you
like the good music from Frederick Moe on "Herman's Radio and Record
Room," nominally 0230 UTC, but delayed tonight because of Debauchery's
over-run. Cheers, Lw``

``Next week, 6159.9 still planned, right? Glenn``

``Yes, we are planning to complete the switchover to 6159.9 on
September 19. There are two shows on 5130 that aren't produced here
that will be displaced - one is probably going to move to an open time
slot on 7490, the other's fate is not determined yet. I hope to have
an updated schedule completed by mid-week and I'll post a note to the
WOR list when it's done. Also, 5130 is poor to fair here and very
noisy at this time. It's definitely on the air but propagation isn't
happy tonight. Lw``

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 14 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S6-S8 at Pardinho
SDR, Brasil.

Also confirmed Mon Sept 14 from 1800:54 on IRRS, 7290 BULGARIA, S9+30
via UTwente, and apparently intact until 1829:54 as my final words are
not! cut off but Feature Story News opening is upcut. Earlier
monitoring of 7290: 1753 JBA carrier from algo; *1757:10 cut-on strong
open carrier; 1758:49 JIP rock music; 1759:53 IRRS ID, offering
numbered QSL for reports to P O Box 10-980, N-20110 Milano, Italy;
contrary to web info from IRRS that they are no longer accepting
postal mail! 1800:27 FSN headlines, always only 3 quickies before WOR
start. Again this week no 7291 warble, hope gone for good, but always
annoying inevitable splash from 7280 Vietnam and 7290 Iran; the latter
should be off after 1820. Next:

** U S A. 5085, Sept 14 at 0620, WTWW-2 is still on, S9+10 weaker than
usual and modulation much weaker, JBM. It`s really ailing; hasn`t Ted
noticed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Quick minor DX-pedition north of Enid on US 81/64/60 parked
near Craig Road intersexion just south of the T, Sunday September 13
at 2148-2201 UT on caradio:

1130, at 2148 no signal or at least no modulation from KLEY Wellington
KS, just some ACI splash, and a JBA fast SAH between two stations, one
of them presumably KWKH Shreveport remnant. [1130 checked next day
Sept 14 at 1905 UT, groundwave scarcely a semihour after local mean
noon, on bigrigs at HQ, no S9 open carrier any more, but some JBA
carrier too weak to DF, possibly KLEY on exciter or 1-watt night
power]

620, at 2150 and still 2201, dead air from Spanish gospel huxter KTNO
Plano (Metroplex) TX.

1350, at 2153, JBA mix of talk and CW music making fast SAH; normally
an open daytime channel in Enid; both Okies a little too far for
groundwave, 180-watt KPNS Duncan and 1000-watt KTLQ Tahlequah; also
possible 500-watt KMAN Manhattan KS. KTLQ in Cherokee Country is the
C&W one.

970, at 2154, 2500-watt KCFO Tulsa gospel huxter surprisingly strong
here; inside Enid blocked by local 960 KGWA. KCFO has a minor lobe to
its NW, so now we are closer into it.

1370, at 2155, still no trace of alleged KGNO Dodge City KS.

1460, at 2155, KZUE El Reno OK Mexmx has a fast SAH from another
station. It`s early, 2 hours and 46 minutes before LSS at 0041 but
skywave seems to be starting up on topend. Closests are KKOY Chanute
KS, and KCLE Burleson TX.

1510, at 2156, ESPN Radio, ads, 2158-2159 fade out/in as skywave, back
in time for KCTE Kansas City ID, i.e. Independence MO. With 132/minute
SAH from algo = 2.2 Hz. Definitely skywave as KC/MO does not make it
here on groundwave above 1.1 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VIETNAM. The 1600 VOV English broadcast is still running, checked
via UTwente Sept 14 at 1619, VG on 9729.952v and 7279.999+, also
audible on much weaker 7219.999+ 73, (Glenn Hauser, Sept 14, WOR iog)

This report dispatched at 2040 UT September 14

** COLOMBIA. 4940, Sept 13 at 0021, JBA direct anonymous missionary
station; from 0117 via Bonaire KiwiSDR: S9 and with typical AMSynch
carrier offset minus 3.2 to 3.5 Hz, usual long-winded gospel huxter in
Spanish citing Isaiah 11, 12. 0120 prayer and cut to produced promo
for ``la película La Montaña, gratis`` via internet, usual URL which
dispenses with ñ for just plain n; song; 0135 same promo again; 0320
recheck weakened to S5-S7, preacher in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-USB, Sept 13 at 0024, pirate rock music S5-S6;
I`m mostly monitoring on the backup PL-880 with reelout while
bandscanning on the JRC, and DJ keeps interjecting brief comments the
starts of which I miss until retuned on main rx. 0028 says the tune is
one he has not heard before. 0034 refers to music from years 1974 &
1975; 0045 another break with Morse code; 0047 sudden CW mixing with
music, partially copied as WDOG. 0048 weaker with voice ID? 0052 wild
SFX; 0100 SynthYL ID over music sounds like ``Radio Station E-X-P``.

Many other logs of WDOG, but none with CW IDs, nor EXP as I heard:

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 13 at 0019, WTWW-2 with TONITO already
underway but undermodulated, distorted despite usual very strong
signal, so unlistenable. Not near computer so not switching to $ tereo
webfeed; probably a rerun anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9840, Sun Sept 13 at 1357, JBA carrier so I
measure to determine if it`s still off-frequency-minus VOV scheduled
until 1530? No, 9840.004, finished measuring just in time when bigsig
from WHRI cuts on with no ID. The JBA one was probably Turkey
scheduled here before and after 1400; per Aoki/NDXC, WHRI weekends
only, supposed to be on Sundays from 1200 until off at 1400, while
Saturdays extended until 1600; not so (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1360, UT Sun Sept 13 at 0620 I`m trying for WNJC DX test on

the non-vocal SFX, and maybe I get a bit: 0623.7 JBA sweep tones
briefly; 0631.7 continuous tone; 0658 one ``V`` in Morse as known to
introduce the CW IDs; was it cut off? Do these match exact timings as
heard by others or logged by station?

** JAPAN. 774, Sept 12 from 1139: first check as always of 774, on the
PL-880 finds a considerable carrier from the NW, no doubt NHK, so
worth a complete bandscan on the R75 with E-W longwire before going
back to sleep: there is some audio on both 774 and 747 from NHK2 500
kW superpowers, JOUB Akita and JOIB Sapporo, respectively, which may
be decommissioned next year; at first seem Japanese, but careful,
these include various language lessons. At 1159 I`m back on 774 but

audible with talk; sunrise here today 1212 UT. See UNIDENTIFIED for
more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1360, Sept 12 at 0357 UT standing by for the much heralded 6
hour DX test from WNJC, Washington Twp., NJ, wherever that is; address
is in Sewell, which is about 10 miles south of Camden, on Egg Harbor
Road, but that`s nowhere near Sewell. Egg Harbor strangely enough is
not on the coast but about 15 miles inland from Atlantic City on the
Expwy. Would you believe that there are five different Wash Twps in
NJ, each in a different county?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Township,_New_Jersey

Washington Township, Bergen County, New Jersey
Washington Township, Burlington County, New Jersey
Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey
Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey
Washington Township, Warren County, New Jersey

Gloucester County is the one inhabited by Sewell. and that`s the one
just south of Camden, i.e. Philadelphia PA.

Quite a pileup of signals, almost like a graveyard. Coverage maps show
1360 crammed with stations east of the Mississippi, but rather sparse
to the west, yet with three in relatively small Iowa. None in OK, the
nearest to us KPHN EWTN El Dorado KS, barely audible daytime. NRC AM
log has a total of 61 USA on 1360, even a second one in NJ,
Newton/Paterson.

One signal slightly above the others mentions Iowa, and at 0400 ID for
KSCJ Sioux City 1360 and FM. It`s U2 5/5 kW supposedly with a notch
null thisaway in a 4-way narrow X pattern. No sign of CW or other DX
test sounds thru the KSCJ net news until 0404; rechex at 0541 and 0627
also fruitless. Longer listening periods are required, and there will
be another six hours UT Sunday at 0400-1000, with greater power. I
wonder how far west WNJC made it? James Niven near Austin TX, got it
by recording and then reviewing the first hour, 2296 km away vs only
2019 for me. East? Arctic Norway but that`s to a super-DXing setup.

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 12 from 1139:
first check as always of 774, on the PL-880 finds a considerable
carrier from the NW, no doubt NHK, so worth a complete bandscan on the
R75 with E-W longwire before going back to sleep: there is some audio
on both 774 and 747 from NHK2 superpowers which may be decommissioned
next year, at first seems Japanese, but careful, these include various
language lessons. Also carriers: 828, 891(2), 972, 1053, 1107, 1566.

>From 1205 another 9-kHz bandscan, axually tuning downward: 567, 657,
693, 747, 774, 828(2), 873. Sunrise here: 1212 UT. I wonder what the
other 828 is besides JOBB Osaka? There`s a 50 kW in Beijing and
several lesser/further Chinese; and 50 kW in Vietnam. See also JAPAN.

This correlates with simulmonitoring by my neighbor, as to IRCA:

`Oklahoma TP DX 9/12/20 Richard Allen 5:49am #11529
The best morning of the new TP DX season thus far (LSR 1210),
594 JOAK poor at 1205.
747 JOIB good at 1200-1157 (audible on barefoot ULR)
774 JOUB fair-to-good at 1212-1158 with severe QRM from nearby
KSPI-780.
828 JOBB good-to-fair at 1155-1204.
873 JOGB fair at 1152; poor at 1208.
972 HLCA good at 1151 (audible on barefoot ULR).
Skywave SSB and PL-310 with ALA1530LNP. Good DX. Richard Allen,
near Perry OK USA.`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 11 at 2225, RNA is S7-S8 but sup-torted
modulation as usual; why bother to broadcast? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 4940, Sept 12 at 0053, anonymous missionary station is on
tonight with S6-S9 signal into TWR Bonaire SDR, amid English! Or
rather sermon with consecutive Spanish translation, occasional
clapping congregation. Heard Pastor Stendal mentioned, but is this
him? Sounds very much like acting president Drumpf; from the same
benighted Queens barrio? A Brother Allen/Allan/Alyn/Alyn/Alan
mentioned later as runs past 0100 with no break. 0108 about testimony
on a mission trip. 0118 retune, bit of music, and back to studio with
the long-winded predicador heard previous nights only in Spanish ---
no native languages---, citing Isaiah XVII. Retune at 0150, signal has
faded way down to S5-S6 vs storm noise level. There`s a tiny one on
the Carib coast of Colombia, but lots further circa Nicaragua,
Yucatán, Cuba, per Blitzortung (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11800, Sept 11 at 2224, RHC is S8-S9 but JBM; even less so
the parasitic spurs 11790/11810. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Sept 12 at 0142, R. Progreso is finally back on with
music. Have not checked absolutely every night, but had been missing
ever since at least August 25, i.e. 17 days. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11940, 9690 & 12030, Fri Sept 11 at 2223, REE English
succeeds but Justin Coe is presenting some jazz eulogizing Bryant Park
in NYC --- what`s that to do with Spain?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830v, Sept 11 at 2222, VOT English to us is on but with
music buried under NSS RTTY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2051 monitoring: confirmed Friday
September 11 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+30/35 so jamming under is almost
inaudible.

NOT confirmed UT Saturday September 12 at 0130 on WRMI 9955, as
something else has replaced without notice, gospel huxtress in
English. Skedgrid shows `Circuit Rider` with a different 15-minute
program each weekday, plugged in at various times. Might also bump
some Vivas Miamis filling quarter-hour ATS, haven`t investigated. BUT
WOR is still on 7780 at this time, VG to Maine SDR, but only clickbuzz
at UTwente, local problem? Next:

** U S A. 7490, Fri Sept 11 at 2215, WBCQ sounds like drama, old tyme
radio? 6160v not on yet for that to start at 2300. Guess it is as
scheduled at 2200 Fri on 7490v, ``Challenge Ministries``. BTW
equivalent times on sked are still labeled ``EST`` while they are
really EDT. Those are NOT THE SAME! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490v, 5130, 6160v, UT Sat Sept 12 at 0000, WBCQ starting
`AAAWWW`, in that order as they are not synchronized and I hear the
WTO starting over and over as I tune from one to another. Final
interjexion in the theme is ``flummoxed``. 0001 recheck of 6159.9
finds it reverted to some old jazz, but soon back to AW and I keep
listening there for somewhat better reception than 7490, and 5130
unusable. He starts saying they have two rules: ``don`t steal and
don`t lie`` --- yet some stuff was stolen this week but miraculously
returned; has been a stressful week, like Peyton Place [an old steamy
soap opera, I think: I never watched it]. 0011 says there is no audio
on 6 or 5 MHz --- yes, there is, I am listening on 6. AW claims he
avoids discussing politix with friends and family he knows he is not
going to persuade --- [but We the Audience are neither!] 0013 call
from Andrew about something. It`s Sept 11, YOOL 2020, anniversary of
you know what. Then they`re both into vicious political ranting:
Hillary should be in jail! Angela yells; yet at each opening he
persuades her to get closer to the mike. Don`t blame the cops or
defund them for killing George Floyd --- he died later! Blames George
Soros for paying rioters = Democrats = communists. I can`t take any
more and tune out at 0036. Just as well, as I remember it`s time to
check 4940 for Colombia, q.v. Unfortunately(?) John Carver`s computer
broke again so no report from him this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
