** CUBA. 5025, Sept 24 at 0700, R. Rebelde not dead air but children`s
chorus, not anthem, and JBA // on MW 1620. Something`s not always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9790, Sept 24 at 0651, S9/+20 dead air but trace of
modulation: surely CRI relay transmitter until 0500 failed to turn
off, blowing away RFI in French at 0600-0700, which is normally
audible without the Cublock. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba.
6000 also still on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 24 at 0657, S9+15/25 of dead air as RHC has failed
to turn off transmitter earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC. See
also 9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 24 at 2220 check direct, VOT English not
off the air. Into UTwente at 2247 when measured, S9+45/50 ending
`Turkey`s Geomarked Products`, music. 2252 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo. 2253 s/off the 1230 on 17620. Something`s always awry at
Ankara. 2253 IS briefly to 2253.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday September 24 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/30 but noisy direct,
after ``Everglades`` ID. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;

Thanks this week for a generous seasonal contribution for autumn from
Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, by check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser,
P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

One may also contribute via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475 WTWW: George McClintock replied to my report of spurs
at 0315 Sept 24: ``Glenn, I had very bad transmitter problems. Just
got 5085 on just a few hours ago. #1 transmitter also has problems. 2
transmitters off air at the same time. George McClintock 9-23-2024``.
9475 was off again Sept 24 at 2220 check, but on at 2307 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1060, Sept 24 at 0703 UT, traffic report mentioning
Delaware, weather, must be 50 kW KYW Philadelphia atop the channel;
yes, then into ``final hour of Sports Philadelphia``. Not often heard;
day and night patterns with NW/SE lobes and supposedly null thisaway!
per NRC Pattern Book. Radio-locator
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KYW&service=AM
is similar but not a deep notch hereto.

1070, Sept 24 at 0705 UT, traffic report on the 101 freeway,
Hollywood, got to be ND 50 kW KNX Los Ángeles. Neat to be getting
coast-to-coast MW simultaneously on adjacent frequencies with 1060 KYW
Philadelphia. Total apartness 3843 km = 2388 miles. Still that
annoying LAH = low audible heterodyne from always off-frequency KFTI
Wichita. MWoffsets shows it 22 Hz low (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Sept 24 at 0709 UT, KLEY ID immediately upon tunein,
Wellington KS mixing with KWKH, which obviously doesn`t care about its
protracted violation with 250 watt day power instead of 1 watt nights,
which means we can`t call it a ``daytimer``, strictly speaking. 1 watt
at night not even covers its country, let alone rimshotting Wichita:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KLEY&service=AM&h=N&z=o
but slightly pulled in SSEward as if ``protecting`` KWKH also in
daytime. And KLEY certainly not trying to hide itself. Not that I
really care vs stupid sportstalk; except for following the rules
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1550, Sept 24 at 1913 UT, ``The Bluegrass Express`` slogan
confirmed as listed for KKLE Winfield KS. Mobile at Great Salt Plains
NWR, NW of Enid. Is sibling station of 1130 KLEY.

1400, Sept 24 at 1914 UT, ``Your Country, KEYE`` is the dominant 1400
station at midday on caradio, visiting artesia near Great Salt Plains
OK. Perryton TX, in the NE Panhandle, not one I could get on
groundwave back in Enid. I used to have some relatives there; it was
tornadoed June 15, 2023 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12195, Sept 24 at 0655, still mystery open carrier,
S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [non]. 11990, Pop Shop Radio via Woofferton, 0300 UT Sept
10, QSL card in pmail received Sept 21, with enclosures: schedule, two
logo stickers, Maple Leaf cutout bearing a bear and ``Hope BC``; round
fabric Maple Leaf patch as on flag. Very nicely done (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 7390, Sept 23 at 0458-0500* direct, jazz until cutoff with
no announcement; whatsit? EiBi: AWR in French to N Africa via Nauen at
0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Sept 23 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9+30/40 direct, also on 17715 and 15520, never on 15390. News leads
with UN SG calling for change in its struxure; no time to listen more
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9875.003+, Sunday Sept 22 at 2040, I`m QRX for
VOT `Letterbox` now instead of waiting until a sesquihour later on
11785, which may or may not be on air, and conflicting with a lot of
other programming I want to get. This transmission is 500 kW at 105
degrees for India, SE Asia, Australia, NZ, but plenty backward signal
into UTwente, S9+15/25 atop some CCI which would be North Korea,
should be avoided. At 2045 ends sports, ``always-by-your-side`` promo
and `Weekly Analysis` by John ``Adja`` sounds like, a foreign policy
researcher, about pagers as weapons. 2050 music. 2057
``with-you-every-hour`` promo and `Letterbox`: Halil  is ``not that
well, voice not much good``, he apologizes but sounds OK to me. 1)
Siddartha ---, India, reception report from a regular. 2) USA, John
Fryberg? Jr., New Hampshire. Now at 2050 the CCI relents, as VOK stops
aiming at ME, but resumes at 2100 toward FE, much weaker. 3) Roman
Steiner, Germany; or Norman? 4) Roberto Brizzo? or Guizzo?, Italy. 5)
Mr. Markey?, India. 6) André/Anatoly Klepov, Moskva, another regular
QSL seeker. 7) Carlo Giordani, Italy. By 2106, time`s up, ``Goodbye,
my lovely dear listeners, goodbye``. 2107 music and I tune out (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.005, Sunday Sept 22 at 2159, VOT not off
air but S9+50/55 into UTwente, 2200 ~correct timesig and open English,
but I don`t need to keep listening since I got `Letterbox` a
sesquihour earlier on 9875, q.v. However, I check UTwente again for
s/off, but it`s still going at 2259, 2300 timesig, and German, which
continues the entire hour! as not scheduled, with the same program
themes we hear in English, such as at 2334 for ``Warum?`` At 2356 IS
still playing with Portuguese! IDs, but cutoff 2359* before another
extraneous language. EiBi shows PP at 00-01 and SS at 01-02 are
supposed to be on 9870. Just as well, because at *0000 Chinese on
11785.000 as the ChiCom achieve better frequency accuracy, much weaker
than TRT had been. EiBi shows CRI Mandarin at 00-13 via site x. There
are several sites x+ but a single x means: ``x-Xian-Xianyang "594"
(Shaanxi) 34N12-108E54`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 23 at 2159, nosig from VOT English direct, but
*2200.3 cuts on JBA carrier with Doppler flutter, bad prop? Yet Spain
q.v. is inbooming on 17855 et al. By 2203 recheck, 11785 is off, so
another occasion trying to come up on 11785 but failing. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
September 22 at 2157 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003-,
S9+5/10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday September 22 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9/+20/35
into Maryland SDR altho aimed NW.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10
into Durango2 SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 23 at 0305 the 0300 on Area 51 via
WBCQ 6160 -70 Hz = 6159.93, S9/+10 into Georgia SDR, but JBA direct.

Also confirmed Monday September 23 at 1938 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+ at S9+15 and 3975.003- at S8/9+10 into UTwente.
Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];
2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy;
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;

** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED, at first: 9475, Sept 23 at 2208, zero signal
from this WTWW direct, but 9930 is on. However, as I tune across the 9
MHz band at 2209-2219, I encounter numerous extremely distorted
spurblobs, cadence of modulation is talk but totally unreadable, quite
broad and shifty so no exact frequencies pinnable. Circa: 9416, 9546,
9676, 9682, 9692, 9802, 9828, 9918, 9943, 10059. I compare these on
second radio to the only bigsigs on band at this time, 9930 WTWW, 9350
& 9980 WWCR, and there is NO match. So I suspect it`s the 9475
transmitter haywire again. At 2302, all clear, no 9475 nor spurs
direct. Not paying close attn but at 2332* noise surge as 9475 carrier
has been on but off again. By Sept 24 at *0011.5, 9475 on for half a
minute; *0013 on again with open carrier, soon turning up mod of PPPP
and stays on. At 0018, bandscan without any of those spurs while 9475
remains clean. Oops, 9475 cuts off again suddenly at 0024*. Cuts back
on at *0028.7 JIP PPPP again. 0058 usual QSY announcement to 5085,
which comes on about *0059. Stays on past 0150 more or less OK but
some clunking sounds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Monday Sept 23 at 2303, WRMI VG direct with `On the
Media` soliciting SW reception reports and even audios about SWLing,
2305 into regular opening of show which is about disappearing and
endangered weekly alt newspapers such as The Riverfront Times, St.
Louis which was recently sold to who knows what and everyone fired!
`OTM` has several times on the WRMI skedgrid, but not this one!
Supposedly at 2300 Mon it`s `Viva Miami`, i.e. expendable, at 2315
`Midnight Cry Ministry` and at 2330 `Alameda Bible Fellow` which are
surely paid for. Not rechecked until 2340 when in fact it`s a
ponderous preacher, I think ABF, certainly not OTM, so it did not get
played for a full hour! System G sked shows OTM Mondays 2100 and UT
Tuesdays 0200 on 9395. OTM originates at WNYC: let`s hope it survive
the major cutbacks there. I haven`t got into the habit of listening to
it on WRMI, but really should if there`s a reliable complete hour for
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1470, Sept 23 at 0506 UT, ``1470 and 100.3, WMBD`` ID
immediately upon tuneacross: Peoria IL, U4 5/5 kW. Somewhat surprising
as NRC Pattern book shows very tight lobes a bit CCW from N/S day and
night; but radio-locator shows only slightly favoring N/S and not
notched thisaway. Website has no ``about us`` or station history; have
wondered what call could signify: maybe, ``We Might Be DX``. Here`s a
history,
https://fromthehistoryroom.wordpress.com/tag/1470-wmbd/
but not about the callsign; however, can it be coincidental that one
early announcer was Milton BudD?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13790, Sept 23 at 2205, S9/+10 of dead air with Doppler
flutter, maybe mix with trace of mod? EiBi shows CNR1 jammer and Sound
of Hope starting at 2130; also listed is Ifrikya FM, Ouargla site,
ALGERIA, at 1900-0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 22 at 0315, suptorted Spanish at S9+20/30.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. English on 6000 also emitting. 15230,
Sept 22 at 1436, S6/S8 of dead air direct. By 1500 it`s off into
Maryland SDR; if on, the DA might have been in Esperanto (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 9490.1, Sept 22 at 0305, S7/S9 open carrier or is it JBM?
Evidently the defective Issoudun not turned off as RMI`s R. República
is supposedly scheduled now for only one hour at 0100 on days 712345
and 6. It was/is subject to jamming but unseems that now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. ``Shortwave Radio out of summer-mode. Back to normal
tomorrow. Schedule below. -- Hi Glenn, we are back from our holidays
after 3 months. European daytime propagation slowly to normal. Back to
schedule some 3 month ago. WOR now back again on 6160 at 0830 UTC on
Mondays. New schedule with change of broadcast season to B-24 on 27th
October. Will let you know.

"Hi SWR fans, after three months of reduced broadcasting time, we are
finally back and present our autumn schedule, which is as follows:
6160 kHz: 07:00 to 22:00 UTC (09:00 to 00:00 CEST) - daily
3975 kHz: 17:00 to 00:00 UTC (19:00 to 02:00 CEST) - daily"

73's, Andy (Engineer SWR from Winsen at the river Aller, Germany)``,
Sept 22
(via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475.62 approx., Sept 22 at 0307, algo JBM
presumably anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH as nothing on 7475.0 where
it had always been reliably. Offfrequenciness also noted by Walt
Salmaniw (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 22 at 0312, usual JBA carrier on
signature off-frequency of Hikari FM or whatever pirate allegedly in
Sonora (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27224.85 AM, Sept 22 at 1931, ``Hallelujah`` gospel music
and Kay-Love ID, as the Enid CB pirate has resumed relaying and //
105.5, K288FX, translator of KYLV OKC 88.9, S9/+10. Only here and not
on 27185v which had been primary, nor any other nearby channel. Last
heard Sept 7 on both; and Sept 10 on 27184v only relaying something
else (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PERU. 4955, Sept 22 at 0311, JBA carrier, presumably R. Cultural
Amauta, Huanta, certainly the toughest of active Peruvians here,
normally not even this audible. Not in WRTH 2024, but often reported
at least by S American DXers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005+, Sept 21 at 2252 after a full half-hour of
nothing but music, which is very nice but never identified, VOT
English sign-off by Efsun the accentuated as if on 17620 after 1230,
something`s always awry at Ankara, 2253.5 IS briefly to 2253.7* chop,
no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
September 21 at 2300 on WTWW 9475, as transmitter came on just in time
for 2259 ID and then WOR; had been off earlier in the hour. Thanks,
George, for getting back on for WOR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday September 22 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/30
into Cundinamarca, Colombia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday September 22 at 0330 about 3 minutes into so
started circa 0327 the 0315v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+35 direct but
that includes high storm noise level.

Also confirmed Sunday September 22 at 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia
1322.995- kHz, S9 but noisy into UTwente across Europe; following
s/off announcement for SW ``7285`` but it`s really seasonally on 7290,
not close enough. Next:

** U S A. 5800, Sept 22 at 0300, Jeff White offers special QSL for
reports about Freedom Synergy Radio which follows on 5800, if sent to
radiomiami9 at gmail.com What about 9955? Previously I`ve caught them
// but not now, rather a discussion of harpsichord-like instrument. I
guess that`s R. Prague listed both on System B and H skeds. 9955 Sept
22 at 0632 with TOMBS as on sked, rather than RFI in Spanish which had
been reality this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
