** 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

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,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 7 from 0603:

** 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

This report dispatched at 0329 UT October 7

** 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)

** CUBA. 5083 approx., Oct 5 at 2347, S9+10 distorted spurblob with F#
tone out of 5040 RHC, so that`s 43 kHz separation; also weaker about
5126, 4997 and 4954. At least one is further off WWV 5000, but poor
RWM 4996! Something`s always wrong at RHC. 5083 of course will

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET. 4920, 4905, 4820, Oct 5 at 2350, JBA/VP signals seem Chinese
language, the middle one vs CODAR, and // on two radios. These of
course all correlate with PBS Xizang, ChiCom-occupied TIBET, and for
good measure I also get 7385. All are scheduled on air at this time

** VENEZUELA. 6906.1-CUSB, Oct 5 at 2145, tropical music, in well S7
to TWR Bonaire SDR: definitely no LSB and with a reduced carrier. 2157
announcer is wrapping up program, but music past 2200; 2202, 6:02 TC
and ``Desde El Tigre, Anzoátegui, Venezuela 93.7 FM`` and again at
2205. There are, or were, several 93.7s in the country, but I search
it out to this:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Radio-Station/Venezuela-937-FM-104634747994178/
This disgraced FB promotes various program segments emphasizing music,
but find no listen link. Such as 6-7 pm, `Leyendas de Venezuela`.
Another slogan is `Asi Suena` = this is how it sounds, attached to an
ID at 2223. Recheck 2319, still songs, 7:20 time check, ``Asi Suena``.
No call letters in ID. Apparently real station on FM, but this likely
a pirate relay, amounting to Venezuela`s only SW station, aside from
the murky 4940. At 2340 I try it direct but get only a JBA carrier.
Back to Bonaire, still going at 0100 but not at 0328. El Tigre is in
