** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Oct 24 at 1932, JBA carrier, so LRA36 is active
this Thursday afternoon. In B-19, HFCC has no 15475 registrants at all
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 346 kHz, Oct 23 at 0612 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watts from
Sioux Lookout, Ontario. This NDB is not destined for decommissioning,
unlike 341, YYU, Kapuskasing, no longer mixing with local NDB EI;
http://dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm
now shows a bunch of other Canadians to be decommissioned as of March
26, 2020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 24 at 1431, Trenton Military, ditto (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, Oct 23 at 1450, CRI Plus English to North America
relay is S9+20 of open carrier/dead air except for some hum. Was it
always thus for the entire bihour today? Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, Oct 24 at 1429, S9+20 of dead air from CRI in English.
On WOR 2005 I have merely cited all the Something`s Always Wrong
frequencies monitored the past week with no further details (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11550, Oct 23 at 1448, singing and drumming,
another new frequency for Denge Welat and/or Turkish jamming, as there
is nothing now on original 11530, nor recently jumped 11540 or 11520.
11550 seems to have a SAH hinting that both are on here at the moment.
At 1459, talk and music continue past 1500 with no ID caught, but now
I time the SAH at 2.4 Hz.

11510, Oct 24 at 1358, frequency of choice today, music and a JBA
carrier on 11540, else? By 1426, only 11510; 1430 talk, S5-S7 with
flutter.

11520, Oct 24 by 1921, the Kurdo-Turco radio war has shifted to here,
S3-S7 of Kurdish? talk.

11510, Oct 25 at 1421, JBA carrier only here; not surprising following
G2 storm as long predicted, and K index still 3 at 1500.

So far this radio war has been on 11510, 11520, 11530, 11540, 11550,
but they`d better avoid 11560 earlier not to collide with India.

Unless one understand Turkish or Kurdish it can be hard to tell which,
but Emirler could be running 500 kW vs 100 kW from DW.

Wolfgang Bueschel provides this for comparison:
Denge Welat Kurdish radio Livestream is 16 seconds behind,
http://37.187.140.96:8000/;stream.mp3
Later I listened to it for a while to become more familiar with it.

Strangely, only recently has Turkey bothered to jam the PKK station.
Did Drumpf OK that too? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 595.9, Oct 25 at 0608, JBA carrier. Before a bandscan,
see UNIDENTIFIED, I check for this first, as the low-power 50 kW Oujda
transmitter of SNRT has been reported by Chris McWhinnie and Alan
Pennington of the British DX Club, further off-frequency than usual
595 instead of 594, and there it is! Wolfgang Bueschel precisioned it
at 595.896 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 24 at 0615, no signal from VON, which is always
VG when active; not heard on 9690- or 11770- either, tho one could be
on and not propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, Oct 23 at 0611 UT. Enid Woodring Airport beacon
EI continues to be heard, day or night: also at 1445 UT when I note a
period of 8 seconds, which means quite a pause between each pair of
dits. Also Oct 24 at 1355 UT check. At night there is no longer
co-channel from dash and YYU, Kapuskasing, Ontario, which
http://dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm conforms has been Decommissioned.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1580, Oct 23 at 1502 UT, a SAH denoting more
than one station, but one of them per ID at 1503 is KOKB Blackwell,
still underpowered; and audio cuts out irregularly, unlike // 1020
KOKP Perry, where the audio is a few seconds ahead. The other 1580
likely our second closest, KHGG Van Buren AR, normally totally blocked
daytime by KOKB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PITCAIRN [non]. 14185-USB, Oct 23 at 1455, pileup of weak hams on
the publicized VP6R DX-pedition frequency. Itself not heard, but
someone says ``split``, implying that it (or they) should be on a
separate frequency. Not to be confused with Barbados, original island
called VP6; why change? No luck on the 18 MHz band either, but it
seldom opens utc [under-the-circumstances] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 7320-7325-7330, Oct 24 at 0614, DRM noise at S8; thought
it might be WINB, but that`s not until 0700 in A-19, while RRI
Tsiganeshti is in English and German WNW at 0530-0630. Neither
scheduled in B-19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11670, Oct 24 at 1923, the REE African frequency is gone
again while the other three are on, 9690, 11940, 12030. In B-19, the
silent frequency to resume is 11685 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 353 kHz, Oct 23 at 0614 UT, confusing NDB MCW ID changes
from one time to the next: INLN, four letters? NO, it`s two different
beacons mixing at slightly different periods. They are exactly the
same pitch and same frequency. I ran into this before, these:

353 IN USA MN International Falls - Ray 100 48 28 53 -93 16 41
353 LI USA AR LITTLE ROCK 400 34 40 8 -92 18 20
per dxiinfocentre.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Oct 24 at 1426, K6FRC HIFER beacon again audible
from Patterson CA, and no others on this band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2004 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday October 23 starting at 2100:30 on WBCQ 7490.1, poor S6-S8;
their clock is running late, or previous program always runs
over/tight, not leaving enough time for full ID; but no problem, this
flexibility is an advantage as nothing is cut off.

Also confirmed UT Thu October 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor S8-S9.

** U S A. 17850, Oct 24 at 1928, JBA carrier, suspected 3 x 5950 WRMI;
17775 KVOH is already off, but 17530 Grimesland is still on; and
that`s it for 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** U S A. 4840, Oct 24 at 0620, WWCR S9+20 of dead air; tsk2, guess
TOMBS feed failed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15555-USB, Oct 24 at 1430, WJHR preaching is JBA. In B-19
it`s the only registrant on 15555, claiming unbelievable 50 kW, at 5
degrees; and if they shift to 15550 again will collide with France at
1530-1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12050, Oct 25 at 1422, WEWN Spanish is S5-S6 but JBM; at
least it`s not spurring around (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 750, Oct 25 at 1207 UT, ad string in Ukrainian looping
NE/SW, one for auto parts, ID mentioning Ukrainian Radio, 1211 song.
We know this is WNDZ, Portage IN, Ethnic/brokered for the Chicago
market. No problem yet from KMMJ and this is axually better than WBBM
which has to contend with KSPI. WNDZ is 15 kW direxional daytimer,
from 1200 UT in October, 1230 in November. Pattern centered on NW, but
broad with considerable to the SW, notch SE toward Atlanta (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 900, Oct 25 at 1214 UT, nulling KSGL Wichita, I have
something else roughly E/W with ID mentioning 900 and 94.9 --- so most
likely KHOZ, Harrison AR, U1 1000/62/64 ``Bootz 94.9`` where the FM is
a mere translator; per NRC AM Log, tho there`s one other 94.9 combo,
WATV in AL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1440, Oct 25 at 1226 UT, RCC discussion in English, as KEXB,
University Park TX, has stopped stunting referring to KTNO move to
620; Paul Walker says it`s Relevant Radio. Can a call change be far
behind, since KEXB signified the kaput format, Excellence in Business?
Soon overtaken by Topeka, KMAJ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 25 at
0609-0618: this time on the R-75 I am tuning LSB, 1 kHz above 9 kHz
channels, instead of the usual USB 1 kHz below; this could turn up
some different ones with different 10-kHz channel QRM/splash
situations: 531, 585, 603, 612, 621, 666(2), 684, 693, 711, 729(2),
747*, 774(2), 792, 801, 837, 8446, 855(2), 882, 936, 999, 1017, 1098,
1107, 1125(2), 1179(2) but none higher. * means stronger than the
others; (2) means at least two carriers beating. See also MOROCCO!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3272-USB, Oct 25 at 1234, 2-way discussing other
frequencies which may be better such as ``zero-3-9``; ``A7A`` also
mentioned, maybe this one or net designator; MARS? Nothing further
heard here. No significant hits on 3272 or 3.272 searching the entire
UDXF io group (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9341.25-USB, Oct 24 at 1356, 2-way in Spanish; Intruder

** ANGUILLA. Re my ham log missing one letter, Chuck W3ON replies:
``Glen[n], I just checked the K3LR DX cluster. The following stations
are currently operating. VP2ETE VP2EIH VP2EKG``

``Anguilla Island: I took another look at the K3LR DX cluster. Most
likely what you heard from Anguilla was VP2EIH. The station was
spotted on the K3LR DX cluster on October 20th on 18121 kHz
at 2133 UT`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Oct 22 at at 0623 UT, YL weather in English, gale
warning mentioned repeatedly; 0625 ``This is Halifax Coast Guard
Radio; out`` but immediately resumes briefly in French, back to
English. S6 vs an S5 noise level. Winterish conditions are looking up.
Maybe special broadcast as it`s 3:25 am in NS.

2598-USB also with a weaker YL voice at 0627, too weak. This frequency
covers NL and vicinity. There are a few other 2 MHz channels listed
further north and west which I have never managed to hear, if they
still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 22 at 1354 check, Trenton Military, ditto
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, Oct 22 at 1353, RHC S9+10/20 but suptorted while //
15140 is OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, Oct 22 at 1420, China Plus relay in English is S9+30
but extremely suptorted; wiggle that patchcord or render a refund to
the ChiCom! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9620-9660, Oct 22 at 1425, the RHC 9640 transmitter is still
spewing a buzzfield at least plus/minus 20 kHz, worst peaks circa 9630
& 9650. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, Oct 22 at 2146, RHC S7-S9 but only a trace of
modulation, unlike sufficient 11850. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 11561, Oct 22 at 1418, AIR 11560 with a song has a 1 kHz
het/carrier on the hi side; whence? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 9095, Oct 22 at 1346, algo JBA, no doubt Echo of Hope,
clandestine on its latest shift as also heard yesterday, and nothing
on original 9100 nor interim 9105. The Oct 21 edition of Aoki has it
only on 9095, but what about tomorrow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11520, Oct 22 at 1417, something new here, talk in
unID language, S4-S7, unused frequency per Aoki. Nothing now on 11530
and maybe some noise on 11540, so suspect another shift by Dengê
Welat. Or is it Turkey jamming? The situation could change from day to
day or even hour to hour. Ivo Ivanov indicates when I heard it, both
were on 11520:

Pro Erdogan Radio Recep & Denge Welat in 25mb, October 21:
from 1500 NF 11540.0*EMR 500 kW/105 Turkish, good+STANAG, ex 11530

I assume ``Radio Recep`` is Ivo`s nickname for it, not a real ID
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6907-USB, Oct 22 at 2345, S9 pirate music, with
abrupt breaks in modulation = transmission, but YL ``CNR`` IDs at
2345, 2353, apparently stays off from 2357*. Many earlier logs here:

It`s not so Clever when Clever Name Radio be initialized (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, Oct 22 at 2153 UT, EI is back! EnId`s 25-watt
MCW ND beacon at Woodring airport. The manager and others I visited
yesterday had no direct knowledge of it or its status, referring me to
FAA; but maybe my inquiry led her to look into turning it back on?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, Oct 22 at 1930 UT, KOKB Blackwell is cutting off
and on the air, and when on is weaker than normal, compared to other
stations and the noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 22 circa 2115 UT in a pledge break, KUCO says
it will be moving to ``beautiful new studios in downtown OKC`` ---
thus following in the footsteps of KOSU which could not resist the
allure of the Big City, both forsaking their original campi in Edmond
and Stillwater. At least KGOU remains at OU in Norman. If only KUCO
would spend some of that expense to attain a local-quality translator
signal into Enid. At least we may hope its recently refurbished
transmitter/site will remain on the north side (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX

** U S A. 9330, Oct 22 at 2132, WBCQ-6 is off today; why? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see UNID 12120.4

** U S A. 17850, Oct 22 at 2138, JBA carrier, presumed WRMI 5950 X 3,
but still too weak to audiblize a match of BS; would be OSOB & SSOB if
17775 KVOH were not running late. I always check too for any trace of
Kuwait to us on 17550 which propagates only at midsummer, but zilch
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17774.99 approx., Oct 22 at 2135, praise music in Spanish
registering only S1, as KVOH is still on past nominal 2100* on Tue &
Thu; remains slightly off-frequency and have never answered my query
whether this be the old or ``new`` transmitter. It`s the SSOB but not
the OSOB tnx to WRMI? on 17850, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** UZBEKISTAN. 12160, Oct 22 at 1415, S Asian language talk vs CODAR,
S9-S7. Amid the TWR India 1345-1545 broadcast via Tashkent in a
complex compendium of tongues; Aoki shows M-F at 1400-1430 it`s Sin
which per EiBi means Sinhalese, not Sindhi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1690, Oct 22 at 2156 UT, heavy SAH of about 2.5 Hz,
between WVON Chicago --- and?? Retén lo que Tienes, Bâton Rouge
pirate? There is certainly a second station to cause the SAH. This
long before sunset, possibly KDMT Arvada CO is already propagating
here at the Top End; WMLB further east could be if it`s no longer
silent in GA, but seldom/never heard here. I compare this SAH to
another one later at 0038 Oct 23 which is more like 2.8 Hz and
definitely between KDMT and WVON. MWOffsets had those 3.9 Hz apart so
it`s all inconclusive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12120.4, Oct 22 at 2149, S4-S7 of open carrier; could it
be WBCQ-6, not on 9330 now? Surely not, so off-frequency, but
originally registered here for A-19 afternoons, with 11730 to be next
in B-19, should they attain higher-frequency capability. More likely
NAU Isabela PR RTTY idling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

thru entire alfabet and found four fitters: VP2EEH, EIH, EMH and EQH
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Oct 20 after 2300, no signal from LRA36 for
final repeat of anniversary special, via the S American remote which
did forward it as late as 1930. Not too surprising as post-sunset down
there, a good reason not to regularly broadcast evenings if nothing
but such a high frequency be available (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** ARMENIA. 9300, Oct 21 at 1313, TWR music box IS, S4-S6 with
flutter; preceding the TWR Indian broadcast at 1315, which on Monday
and Tuesday is in the MUNdari language spoken by 1.1 million in
Jharkhand, Odisha, per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9818.483, Oct 21 at 0621, JBA signal with some modulation,
no doubt R. 9 de Julho with R. Aparecida programming. What else? Own
Aparecida appears to lack an apparition on 9630+, but there is a much
stronger:

9664.859, Oct 21 at 0623, Brazuguese conversation at S9-S7, from Voz

** JAPAN. 774 & 828, Oct 21 at 1225, JBA YL talk, no doubt the
superpower NHKs in Akita and Osaka, tho can`t be sure of language and
not necessarily Japanese during language lessons. I also have no doubt

** KOREA SOUTH. 3480, 3910, 3984, 4450, 4880, 5995, 6515, 6600, 9095,
Oct 2 at 1256, quick survey of EOH/VOH/VOP clandestine frequencies
find some have shifted a further 5 kHz than before, some back on
originals; also Japan 3925 seems to have CCI SAH and nothing on 3930!
Can`t tell if on 6250 due to uteblob. Some also have jamming noise,
some not, or JBA carriers, but presumed since nothing 5 kHz away where
previously landed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Oct 20 at 1715, S9+20 of Cuban spy numbers
and diginoise overrides any possible Turkish clandestine here.
11540, Oct 20 at 1715 has some weak talk presumably Dengê Welat. Above
should have preceded my subsequent obs at 1940 as in last report.

11540, Oct 21 at 1316, Kurdish? talk presumed from Dengê Welat, maybe
jamming but nothing on 11530 from new Turkish counterpart.

Other reports about these today; from Ivo Ivanov, Observer, Bulgaria:
``TURKEY/KURDISTAN Pro Erdogan Radio Recep & Denge Welat, October 21:
from 1500 NF 11540.0*EMR 500 kW/105 deg Turkish, good+STANAG ex 11530
* co-ch same 11540.0 KCH 300 kW/130 deg Kurdish BRB Denge Welat -weak
from 1600 on 11540.0#ISS 250 kW/090 deg Kurdish BRB Denge Welat-trong
# co-ch same 11540.0 EMR 500 kW/105 deg Turkish Pro Erdogan TRT- weak
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOddHnIREDE&feature=youtu.be
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDXyGVuogW0&feature=youtu.be ``

Kai Ludwig, Germany: ``Earlier in the evening, before everything faded
out, clearly two different signals, with carriers hetting against each
other, could be noted on 11540 while no trace of any carrier was on
11530 anymore. So indeed Emirler followed Denge Welat, thus their
intention is not to take over the established frequency and its
Kurdish audience but merely to jam Denge Welat.

Meanwhile also routing for this "special broadcast" has been found:
http://en.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11096&pid=28&live=89&sec=0&lang=en

The ID of this channel indicates that it was the feed for the Arabic
broadcasts on 630 and 1062 kHz, which apparently have been
discontinued recently. So TRT is really deeply involved in this
jamming operation. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15090, Oct 21 at 1409, JBA carrier. EiBi shows R. Liberty
all the way from 0430 to 1430 alternating Dari and Pashto for IRAN ---
shouldn`t that be AFGHANISTAN? With inband 19m SWBC so little-used,
there is no reason for a major broadcaster to intrude into the aero
band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1090, Oct 21 at 0559, YL promo for `Milenio Diario`
newscast at L-V times, 0600 into infomercial. Still no ID, but another
match for XEAU, Monterrey, since searching immediately finds:

``XEAU-AM is a radio station on 1090 AM in Monterrey, Nuevo León. It
is owned by Multimedios Radio and carries Milenio Radio along with
sister station XHFMTU-FM 103.7 HD3. Wikipedia``. Of course that does
not prove that no other 1090 station airs M.D., but surely XEAU, our
closest 1090 anyway is the one I have been hearing. As usual, KAAY
from the east can be nulled, but not the annoying 1089 het from the
700+ kW of UK synchros (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Re my ID of the 1130 station as XEYZ Aguascalientes2, still
on the AM air, Tim Hall, editor of the IRCA Mexican Log, replies,
first on the ABDX yg:

``Thanks for the update. This is very odd. I can't imagine what they
would be doing back on the air. They surrendered their AM license
almost a year and a half ago (see URL below for a copy of the
self-cancellation letter). I haven't heard anything about them being
forced to turn the AM back on (a "continuity obligation" can be
invoked if the Mexican government determines that the AM shutdown
leaves even a few people with no remaining radio or TV coverage). The
AM license was not restored as of the August 2019 IFT list. Maybe it
will show up on the next list?
http://rpc.ift.org.mx/rpc/pdfs/35226_181212173840_5224.pdf
73 Tim``

And directly Oct 21: ``For now I've added the note to the Mex list
database. I'll see if I can re-log XEYZ from the Border Inn next
weekend. Hopefully I'll catch XECHAP too, if they made their projected
on-air date of Oct 4th.

XEYZ-1130 is still including AM 1130 in their ID: 1 File 381.6 kB

...despite surrendering the AM license almost a year and a half ago.
The attached ID was taken from their web stream a few minutes ago. 73

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, EI, Enid`s only NDB, 25 watts at Woodring
Airport, has not been heard since Sept 7 when it was audible along
with YYU in Kapuskasing, the latter scheduled for decommissioning Oct
10. That leaves on 341 OIN, Oberlin KS and many others listed.

It appears EI has also been. I finally visited Woodring the afternoon
of Oct 21 and asked their new diector, Deirdre Gurry, about it:
https://www.enidnews.com/news/local_news/new-airport-director-introduced-at-woodring/article_7b3a48aa-1630-51ce-b23b-1cf313604d26.html

It`s the FAA`s responsibility and I should seek out a NOTAM notice
about it, but she thinx it used to be on the south side of the runway,
and that such LW beacons are being phased out as who needs them with
GPS? Maybe it failed naturally and will not be fixed.

Here it is, as if still extant, but as of 12 September 2019:

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1580, Oct 21 at 1304 UT, KOKB Blackwell is
still AWOL after sunrise, leaving us to hear mariachi borracha music
from the NW = KFCS Colorado Springs, which is not supposed to go from
140 watts night to 10000 day until 1315 UT in October (1345:
November), but soon fading while KHGG AR talk ascends. By 1900 UT
check, however, KOKB is back on alone (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.2V, Oct 21 at 1335 UT, big hum and carrier around
88.3, very intermittent, blocking KWOU 88.1 during `Stardate` at
1342.5; not my transmitter and heard on at least 3 radios, again
suspected to be the rotten K202BY Family Radio translator for Enid,
otherwise AWOL. There it is again, Oct 21 at 2351 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7293.9-AM, Oct 20 at 2143, weak VP hAM S7-S3 helped by ECSS,
says he is using a 160-m dipole now; sure sounds like TimTron altho
belchless, known to hang out around here; indeed 2144 ID as WA1HLR.
His contact is much stronger S8-S9, and asks him about his WBCQ work
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Oct 21 at 1323, K6FRC HIFER beacon from Patterson
CA; seems I usually hear it around this time rather than later in the
day when MUF should be higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2004 monitoring. Confirmed Sunday
Oct 20 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, S8-S6.

5130- but considerable storm noise from the other side of OKC

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S9 but noisy.

NEW TIME FOR WORLD OF RADIO ON WRMI: Saturday 1300 on 15770 to the NE.
Tnx to Ivo Ivanov who noticed this on Oct 19. I had asked Jeff for
some time, any time on Saturday since all the previous ones had gone
away. No reply, and skedgrid still shows blank spaces for System D
15770 at 1300-1400 on Sat & Sun; on weekdays that hour has variety
programming, unlike TOMBS before 1300 and Supreme Master TV after 1400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.00, Sunday Oct 20 at 2127, I notice that WBCQ-6 is on
with preaching in English about Yahweh (sp?); only S9+15/20 so
probably still on the 60 degree beam awayward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12070, Oct 21 at 1318, spurblob from WEWN which on
fundamental 12050 is distorted with hum and crackling carrier, S9+20,
much stronger than usual, Radio Católica Mundial ID (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 910, Oct 21 at 1243 UT, Iowa Public Radio is seeking a
professional engineer, i.e. WSUI Iowa City, onetime WORLD OF RADIO
affiliate; soon losing out to an iHeart station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1440, Oct 21 at 1239 UT, KEXB Dallas is still running the
Spanish/English loop about KTNO moved to 620; now with growing CCI
probably Topeka (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1700, Oct 21 at 1302 UT, open carrier/dead air from KKLF
Richardson TX, as confirmed by DF; KBGG Des Moines modulation also
audible by rotation of the DX-398 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, presunrise 1244 UT
Oct 21 at 1230-1237; on the R75 with E-W longwire this time, so no
DFing to separate the NW from the WSW: 567, 594, 693, 702, 729, 747,
756, 774, 828, 837, 873, 882, 891, 918, 972, 1008, 1017, 1035, 1053,
1107, 1512, 1548 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1059.95 approx., Oct 21 at 1248 UT, something in Spanish
making a LAH against 1060 stations; suspect KIJN Farwell TX (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1490, Oct 21 at 1308 UT, ``APR Network News`` plug,
perhaps outro of `cast, loops E-W, briefly atop jungle. Figure it must
something from Arkansas, of which there are 3, but no connexion to any
such network in the NRC AM Log or by searching; closest is KWXT
Dardanelle; more easterly but further, KDRS Paragould; and more to the
SE, KXAR Hope. Alabama Public Radio calls itself APR, but all on FM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6841-USB, Oct 21 at 2103, ``Mister Rock, this is
Mountain Radio, I hear you loud and clear``; 2105 ``How copy: loud &
clear, split operations working OK. Standing by on this frequency``.
So his contact was on some other frequency; nothing else heard here.
What`s this, military? UDXF iog searches on frequency, calls
unproductive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9630.0, Oct 21 at 0627, JBA 1 kHz tone, like carriers on
9629 & 9631, in the absence of R. Aparecida unlike two other ZYs just
measured on 31m. Only thing scheduled is CNR1, besides an alternate
channel for RNZI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12665, Oct 21 at 1321, JBA CW, unusual in marine band;
UDXF iog search comes up with a 5-year-old log of 12665, FUG La
Regine/Saissac, France? but as STANAG, not straight CW. EiBi has Meteo
Fax from Rio, PWZ33 but not at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15490, Oct 21 at 1411, S9 dead air and right off. Maybe
Nauen or Ascension testing for later use of this channel; or
Greenville which likes to test on frequencies not otherwhen active
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17765, Oct 21 at 1412, S7 open carrier and right off,
like what I had just heard on 15490. Only thing sked on 17765 is BBC
Ascension at 1200-1230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
