Oops, I really blew that one! Of course it would be 6010v=15190v or 4985=11815. The music must have been too similar but no match if I used two receivers. 4985 has rarely enough signal here to compare with anything. Tnx, Stephen for catching this. Just delete this one. Glenn

Glenn, regarding your Radio Inconfidência log: 11815 would be Radio Brasil Central, not Inconfidência. At a 0330 UT September 10 check on the Sao Paulo Kiwi SDR I am hearing Radio Inconfidência on 6010 but nothing on // 15190. Meanwhile Radio Brasil Central is present on both 4985 and 11815. Solid signals on all that were heard.
 
The Brasilia Kiwi SDR was offline at the time.

** GERMANY. 9670, Sept 8 at 0100, Channel 292 rock music, no break at
hourtop. S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. 0102 British-accented fast-talking
DJ over music, almost incomprehensible, so this is not Texas Radio
Shortwave which had been widely publicized, 10 kW on direxional beam
to E North America. Just as well since this is also the hour I want to
hear `Encore` classical music on WRMI 5850.

The TRSW repeat for W North America at 0300 succeeds, with TRSW ID by
YL at 0329, S9+10 into Maryland SDR. Weaker and fadey in direct
reception. Afterwards, Terry Colgan explains, ``Channel 292 failed to
transmit the program at 0100 UTC and, unbeknownst to me, had removed
the show from the online schedule. The 0300 UTC show aired as
scheduled. -- Terry N5RTC, Austin, Texas USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2259 monitoring: Not confirmed
Saturday September 7 at 2300 on WTWW 9475, since it`s off the air [but
9930 TOMBS is still on]. 9475 off before 2300 and for quite a while
after, but at 2315 I notice it is back on with WOR at the midpoint.
More transmitter problems? 2329 followed immediately by voice of
George McClintock himself that Pastor Pete Peters is heard daily at
3-5 pm Central on 9475. Another report:

``9475. Sat, Sep 7, 2024. 2300-2325, WTWW, Lebanon-TN, in English.
Total silence (off) till 2207; 2207 Starting with Glenn Hauser reading
many logs into program "World of Radio". Fast intermittent modulation
interruptions during the program; variations in signal quality with
almost inaudible moments, fadings. I rate this transmission as bad to
a probable problem with the transmitter, of course. 2325 Impossible to
continue listening! In time:
At 2229 returns WTWW programming with fair to good reception;
Woman/man announcers say ID and more; 2333 Man preaching. JRX (José

** U S A. 9330, Sept 8 at 0056, WLCR via WBCQ getting heavy QRM, seems
like spurious modulation from some other talking source, extremely
distorted, but nothing nearby to match it. Checked after this report
an hour earlier at 2356 Sept 7: ``Oh my, 9330 sounding like Saudi
11935 --- ``Horrible distortion on top of weak talk. I'm assuming this
is coming from the transmitter and not someone on top of WBCQ.
Another, "there's always something wrong at,...."? 73, Walt``
Salmaniw, BC. -- meanwhile, replies:

Don Moman, Alberta: ``9330 is "fine" here IF you are in USB. There is
a strong wandering blob on the LSB currently (0036 utc) and very
strong. It's not obvious if another tx or ??``

``I looked at Don's KiwiSDR and definitely you guys are hearing
something else badly distorted that is not received here in Montreal
and WBCQ sounds very clean. Interesting, sounds like something out
west is very distorted. I've checked again at 0055 UT using my Yeasu
FTdx10 and expanded the waterfall and it looks very clean here USB and
LSB. Gilles Letourneau, OfficialSWLchannel, Montreal, Quebec``

Don Moman, VE6JY: ``just looked over at 9330 at 0109 and the blob is
gone`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Sept 8 at 0651, this WRMI is off, while 9395 & 9455
are S9+20. 9955 has usually been running all night except UT Mondays
but this is Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 28487 USB, Sept 7 at 2045, YY5ALI calling CQ 10.

UNIDENTIFIED. 15230, Sept 8 at 0636, JBA carrier. First guess is RHC
forgot to turn off and barely propagating now; but could also be CRI
Mandarin alternating Cantonese at 0300-0900, 73 degrees from Xianyang
59 site for CIRAFs 44NE and 45N = North Korea and Hokkaido, rather
specifically, but also more or less USward. Only HFCC shows something
more: IRAN in Dari, 0550-0820, presumably wooden (Glenn Hauser, OK,
