** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 22 at 2300, no signal from anonymous
missionary station into TWR Bonaire SDR. Early on, someone caught them
signing on at this hour, with third verse of Colombian national
anthem. Still nothing Sept 23 at 0045 at SDRs in Colombia, DR. So
missing for third night in a row; test phase over, and now what? Have
the S American DX groups come up with anything definite about true
transmitter location and even a name for it if never uttered? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. RHC spurblob survey, Sept 22 at 2200 out of 13740 S9+25:
13675 S6-S7; 13610 S5; 13806 S4-S5; at 65-66 kHz intervals; next one
at 13870 blocked by strong RTTY S9+25. Something`s always wrong at
RHC; but there were none circa 1400 out of 13700 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** GUAM. 15685, Sept 22 at 2205, S4-S6 of Vietnamese talk; modulation
seems irregular, surging/slightly distorted. Is KSDA at 22-23 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 267-MCW kHz, Sept 22 at 0622 UT, ND beacon HET, 25 watts
at Henryetta; heard before, but rarely. This encourages me to search
out *all* the OK beacons listed at dxinfocentre.com as a checklist for
me, with quite a few I have never heard, and wonder if really on the
air as I do hear 25-watters out-of-state; two of these from adjacent
states, transmitter sites apparently across in OK; with watts:

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Tue Sept 22 at 2214, VOT VG this time S9/+20 direct
and no NSS RTTY audible, off already? Ending `Review of Foreign
Media`; then the multi-lingual ID reel time-filler which lasts 110
seconds. Next time I should count how many different IDs there be, as
I suspect some are in there which are not really on VOT SW now, maybe
webcast, such as Portuguese which is not among only 24 in the WRTH
2020. Also heard ``Burasi ---`` more than once, which is Turkish, but
must also apply to related dialects. If there are really 24, they
would average 4.6 seconds each. Next item at 2217, `Water Culture in
Anatolia` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Tue Sept 22 at 2210, WRMI-6 with discussion of
far-right conspiracy theories about antifa, BLM leading to a communist
revolution in America --- taking them seriously! More Alex Jones? No,
the host is Bob Biermann, who has quietly started a second show on
WRMI besides his low-key musings on `Your Weekend Show` but in keeping
with his rightward leanings; now it`s high-key politix, on skedgrid as
`Truth 2 Ponder` this hour only Mon-Fri. And on the programming
page:

``On Monday, August 31st, a new Radio Show and Podcast called “Truth
to Ponder” begins. It all kicks off at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, and is
hosted by Bob Biermann, who is also host of “Your Weekend Show.”

We certainly live in a time the likes of which we have never seen
before. Today, separating truth from fiction and fake from real is not
always easy. From the Pandemic to Politics, to Tech Tyranny and
overreaching control, Bob Biermann and a group of talented and
experienced individuals will sort through today’s news, and present
“Truth to Ponder.”

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Tue Sept 22 at 2218, Radio EmmaToc on WRMI with a
Radio Caroline clip, S9+25/30 with some jamming audible only at fades.
I suppose this qualify as a `media program` so will add to my
DX/SWL/Media Program schedule. WRMI programming claims it is a
*monthly half-hour*, but grid shows a full hour at 2200-2300; need to
check what`s really on at 2230. And other times not confirmed lately:
UT Thu 0000-0030 on 9955, and UT Mon 0100-0200 on 9455. I guess a
monthly hour or semihour repeated for 4 weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, Sept 22 at 2219, WWCR Brother Scare is quite weak,
only S7-S9, while another WWCR is blasting in BS, S9+35 on 9350. Both
supposedly 100 kW; 9980 #4 at 90 degrees, 9350 #2 at 85 degrees, so
they should be the same here, and 9980 often blasts in too, until
2400. Could the current MUF lie between 9350 and 9980? Unlikely. Must
be something else, like reduced power (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 22 at various chex 0056/0400 on TWR Bonaire SDR, no signal
again tonight from anonymous missionary station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9865, Sept 21 at 2341, Asian? music, S7-S6 with flutter up/down in
strength and also sidewise in frequency, i.e. Doppler from near trans-polar path. Could
AIR Vividh Bharati service be back? No, it`s CRI Chinese via Urumqi, land of Chicom
imperialist brainwashing of native Uyghurs, scheduled this hour, and Bengaluru not
until later if at all.

[non]. 7295, Sept 21 at 2355 YL song, then Chinese announcement over, S8/S9+10, and by
golly it`s // 9865. This too is CRI but via MALI just about to end its broadcast day
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 5009.923, Sept 22 at 0241, JBA carrier, no doubt RNM always off-minus,
now that WRMI has finished with 5010 at 0230* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4000-USB, Sept 22 at 0005, AAR5ED calling AAR5EZ, in a MARS net on a
frequency barely outside the ham band as long as there is no LSB like the hams. I
suppose a ham could really use 4000-LSB. More traffic and weak contacts follow, lingo
like ``wilco``. Googling on call AAR5EZ, I get no significant hits; on AAR5ED I get
nine, two of which lead to my own significant previous log of *2017y*:

``5394.5-USB, Feb 23 at 1351, MARS net with abbr`d calls 5AP, 5BR, 5PM/T, and finally
a full call AAR5ED but unheard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8764-USB, Sept 21 at 2344, Tropical Depression Beta marine weather info, but
you better know your geographic coördinates to make any sense of it. Almost the only
voice to be heard in this entire MHz. EiBi shows this is NMG, USCG New Orleans until
2350.

8502-USB, Sept 21 at 2349, marine weather for Bahamas, North Atlantic coördinates, but
exactly same synthom voice as on 8764, to which I compare it -- by golly, they are //
within a reverb or maybe less with different DSP on two receivers, also NMG? No this
one is NMN, USCG Chesapeake VA, also until 2350, now both stations re Atlantic. I
didn`t realize different USCG sites were linked for simulcasts, as each would have its
own prime coverage area. 8502 is slightly weaker, S9+10 vs 8764 at S9+20; and both
with some overmodulation distortion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday September 22 at 0100 on
WRMI 7780, VG S9+20 at Virginia SDR; earlier check direct at 0050 was S8/+10.

Also confirmed UT Tue Sept 22 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9+20 at Bonaire; I listen to
whole thing in background and it is not interrupted at 0350 like happened last week.

** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer search, Sept 21 at 1415; only found JBA
carriers on 12880, 11100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 21 at 0330, via Brasil SDR, no signal tonight
from anonymous new missionary station, apparently still testing.
Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, agrees: ``New Colombian 4940 seems to be
out of air today --- COLOMBIA?, 4940, new religious station, checked
at 0445-0506, 21-09, no audio and no carrier detected`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA. Re my ``UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Sept 20 at 1228, a
dekaminute after sunrise here, considerable S5-S7 carrier above S5
noise level, but no modible. Perhaps Ron Howard will have noted which
of Bougainville and Indonesia were active today, or both (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)`` --- Ron Howard replies:

``Hi Glenn, Sept 20 - Only VOI on 3325 today; at 1145, weak signal in
Chinese; at 1322, with "Indonesian Wonders," during their English
hour, but not very readable. The // 4749.95, via Cimanggis/Jakarta,
was not heard today due to CNR1 and Bangladesh QRM`` (Glenn Hauser,

** ROMANIA. 11650, Sept 21 at 2125, travelog in Spanish with slight
accent, I guess Romanian, since amid an RRI transmission via
Tsiganeshti, and mentions Brasov; only S2-S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday September 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct but with portable
antenna only, some deep fades.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, VG at Maine SDR,
also a few words apart via WRN webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0230 on WRMIs 5800 to SSE and 7780 to
NE, both equally VG S8-S9 at Rochester SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 from 0300:26 on Area 51 (61?) via WBCQ
on new 6159.9 replacing 5130 as planned. I had started monitoring
6159.9 via Rochester remote at 0157 when JL was VG S8-S9; but by 0255
it had faded to JBA, at first thought off. So move to another SDR at
further skip distance, Alexandria VA, holding up to S9+25. By 0315 it
has faded there to S9 and noisy, so try the OKC SDR: only S6; then I
try the Edinburgh, Indiana one: better S8, AM Synch shows +36.8 Hz
carrier above tuned to 6159.90. At 0332 shortly after WOR has finished
and HRI has started, I tune in direct at S9/+10, and measure it at
6159.929. In any event 6 MHz band reception at this distance from
Maine is generally superior to 5 MHz, quite aside from any difference
in outpower there may well be. But 6 MHz also loses closer-in coverage
as the skip distance lengthens into the night.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0330 on WRMI 9955: no good at Bonaire
or Rochester SDRs, JBA in Maine with pulse jamming also audible;
direct to here at 0336, however, is F-G S7-S8 with jamming hardly
audible.

Also confirmed Monday Sept 21 at 1801 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria; recorded
via UTwente for later checking, so no timings to the second. Usual
open carrier came alive circa 1759 with tail of `Off the Hook` urging
pledges to WBAI, the Pacifica New York station. That`s a good leftish
media show I hadn`t heard in years and had no idea it would be on IRRS
for less than a minute. It`s on the WBAI skedgrid
https://www.wbai.org/schedule/
Wednesday Sept 23 at 7-8 pm EDT = 23-24 UT; but not on the incomplete?
program roster or podcast list. But it is here:
https://www.wbai.org/program/?program=76
leading to here:
https://www.2600.com/offthehook/

1800, quick sign-on by IRRS falsely claiming this is USB reduced
carrier, and three FSN headlines.

As for WOR from 1801, usual annoying splash from plus/minus 10 kHz
stations, even on medium bandwidth AMSynch; and still no 7291 warble.
Spotchex of recording find it generally OK and not truncated at the
end 1830, except circa 1817 bad sticking and stuttering. Since there
was complete silence interspersed, I hope this was an internet problem
out of, rather than into, UTwente. I can never be certain that every
WOR airing go out unscathed unless I listen live to every minute of
every one of them, a bit much. Thus I appreciate knowing from anyone
who happen to hear a problem. Next:

0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE

full ID/sign-on? Touting 200-meter tower, presumably for FM, and how
it exploits Hertzian waves. LSR now 1218, so still audible at 1222,
hymn in Spanish with tuba oompahs, rather than newscast since it`s
Sunday. OtherMexes still audible on 640, 700, 710, and:

730, Sept 20 at 1221, Parral mentioned in some kind of promotion, so
XEHB, Chihuahua, probably already on 50 kW day power (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 1360, Sept 20 at 0453-0501 UT, toward end of another WNJC NJ
DX test, I listen closely tuned to 1361-USB for any sign of tones,

altho direxional, the others residing in CT and OR (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 20 at 0601,
starting downward from 846 which must be the lone TP, from Kiritimati,
then upward, so here not in the order heard: 531, 549, 558(2), 576,
612*, 621(2), 639(2), 657, 666, 747, 774(2), 801, 837*, 846, 855(2),

1305(2), 1503, 1629***, 1710(2 - domestic). * = strongest; (2) at
least two carriers beating, at a wide variety of pitches or SAH rates,
but obvious when tuned 1 kHz below on USB. I`m surprised that no one
else seems to do this.

***the 1629 carrier is especially intriguing; usually I don`t even
bother to continue 9-kHz scans across the x-band for TAs, as WRTH
stops at 1611; but there are countless Europirates beyond its scope,
and presumably low-powered. For example, Roberto Pavanello, Italy
recently logged: ``1629 14/9 22.10 R. Toulouse - Dutch MX suff.``
In British DX Club Communication, Axel Röse in Neuss, Germany had a
couple of daytime logs in August on 1629 of ``Z[ender?] Monza, D``, I
guess meaning Dutch land, or Dutch language? rather than German.

A different story for Australia, tho it`s a bit too early yet; WRTH
page 88 shows eight legal LPs on 1629, maximum 400 watts, and these
sometimes do make it to the west coast DXers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 20 at

1035, 1044, 1089, 1098(2), 1107, 1125, 1161, 1323. * = strongest,
likely Korea South. I really miss the top-MW 2850 signal now off from
Korea North. I do get carriers circa 1230 on 3250, 3320 (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. (7490 webcast), UT Sun Sept 20 roughly 0007-0022 I catch
part of `AAAWWW` on WBCQ repeat that I skipped yesterday at same time.
Freddy is asking questions, so we get a bit more info about WHRI.
Complains he can`t find many views of that facility online, but WBCQ
will fix that once in charge. AW has visited Cypress Creek once, says
the facility was well-built originally for the Christian Scientists
(as WSHB); has three Diesel generators and as a peaking plant can sell
excess power back to the utility. Antennas are curtains capable of
handling 500 kW. About having been working on the WBCQ #1 transmitter
for 6? weeks, says he hopes it will not burn up again --- oh, that
one. It`s still confusing what`s #2 and what`s #3, and what number the
ex-WRMI one is or will be; and is that the original Wilkinson from
Radio Clarin, or not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085 webcast), UT Sun Sept 20 at 0022, WTWW-2 has already
started TONITO in such music. This week are recordings performed by
John Ferguson, January 1995, at Paramount, Indianapolis, immediately
before that organ was dismantled and trucked off to storage, unknown
where. 0048 outro, Bob Heil has finally come up with a new program
name since he moved to Belleville IL, `Theatre Organ Under The Arch`
