9535.002 kHz via Bejucal site in 06-07.59 UT slot. But when tuned-in

Logs
** BOTSWANA. 9775, Nov 14 at 0252, S9-S6 of open carrier. Must be VOA
warming up for scheduled 0300-0500 English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9900-, Nov 13 at 2125, R. Cairo, S9+30 into UTwente but dead
air except for some hum and possible traces of English modulation. AM
Synch mode says ``not locked`` in red, yet reads out carrier at
9899.687; still the same at 2213. And similar results by other
monitors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17800+, Nov 14 at 1517, Minitransat special still going 2
days after original finish, météo in French by OM, then YL in French
with rankings deuxième, troisième, etc., etc.

17800-DRM, Nov 14 at 1722, YL again with lo-fi 8.08 kbps rankings in
French, mixing in numbers in English, via Maryland SDR, SNR 21 dB,
S9+5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
November 13 at 2030 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+10 into nearby SDR,
already 25 minutes into so started way early circa 2005.

Also confirmed UT Sunday Nov 14 at 0030 on WRMI 5950, S9+25 into
Knoxville SDR at one-hour-later time; also on separate System still at
0030 UT Sun Nov 14 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Sun Nov 14 finally at 0505 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO,
S9+12 into nearby SDR, about 17 minutes into so started late circa
0448. So there is no correlation between the two airings as to
earliness/lateness. It all depends on variable-length ham shows in
between.

ZZZ thru 1330 UT Sunday Nov 14 for WOR via WMRI Europe via Channel
292, Germany on 9670. Did anyone hear it? Next:

2100 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy

generous check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK
73702

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

** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Nov 14 at 0100, WRMI with Texas Radio Shortwave
carrying Europirate R. Jingle Bells, as we *just can`t wait* for
Xmasmx. Was erroneously publicized for one hour earlier, which would
have pre-empted `Wavescan` & WOR but they/we were still on. Another
TRSW hour from 0200, Thanksgiving-themed. Too bad there is such a
pileup of music shows at same 01 hour Saturday evenings, e.g. `TOUTA`
on WTWW, `Encore` on WRMI 5850 & 7780, and `Mighty KBC` on Nauen.
Supposedly also prime time for pirates but I don`t hear any in one
quick scan of the 4+, 5+ and 7- MHz piratareas (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Nov 14 at 0053, WTWW-2 starting `Theatre Organ
Under The Arch`, so I switch immediately to $ tereo webcast. Another
tribute to George Wright ``the greatest theater organist``. Or is it
a repeat? Bob Heil says he has been working on this for some time,
including early recordings of GW`s performances and voice. This one
lasts 59 minutes until 0152 jarringly back into hard-sell Tedads and
hamstuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, Nov 14 at 0056, WWRB weekend-only gospel huxters are
still on 59m, another week into B21 season when 93m would be expected;
and 0239 still going at S9+45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7520, Nov 14 at 0249, VP S5-S3 hymn, // TOMBS on 7570, 7730
etc. 7520 is WWCR-4 now at 00-03. This transmitter on 5890/9980/7520
is 24/7 TOMBS except for Tue-Sat 03-05 other gospel huxters (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, Nov 14 at 0253, KVOH with jazz at S9/+30. New sked
http://www.voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf
shows Pat Conrad`s `Jazz Session` gets only this one hour per week, UT
Sun 0200-0300; followed by 0300 `Wavescan` which also airs UT Tue.
Total 9975 span is 02-07 except UT Mon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Nov 14 at 1757 UT, still S9+20 of dead air from KLEY,
Wellington KS. 250 watts, left on 24 hours despite night license for
ONE WATT -- a joke in itself. Last time I checked was Oct 29, no doubt
silent since and before. If they are keeping their 100.3 translator
which I can`t hear, modulated as ``The Wave``, why is it too much
trouble to mod the original AM, no one cares? BTW, I notice that MW
club editors keeping up with station news have ignored my continuing
reports about this strange situation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat Nov 13 at 1541, NO LRA36 signal
into two Brasil Kiwi SDRs. Checked as soon as local power outage was
rapidly fixed by OG&E after one hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 401-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0723 UT, NDB dash and YPO, 500 watts
from Peawanuck, Ontario.

376-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0730, NDB dash and YAG, 40 watts from Fort
Frances ON. Only two somewhat unusual but not new Canadians during
bandscan above 375, see USA for more. Last log of YAG this year:

``376-MCW, Feb 17 at 0737 UT, dash and YAG is JBA, 40 watt NDB from
Fort Frances, Ont. 1407 km = 874 stmi or 21.85 miles per watt`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17800+, Nov 13 at 1541, S9-S7 music off-frequency, so
Minitransat special broadcasts via TDF Issoudun from 1500, are still
going past originally registered end-date of Nov 12.

17800-DRM, Nov 13 at 1707 via Maryland remote, French meteo by OM
voice, S9/+10, SNR 22 dB. Label reads starting with 1 AAC (1000)
meaning Service #1 of 4, not IAAC as I miswrote last time. By 1713 now
it`s YL in English but very heavy French accent. 1747 still on but not
decoding S5, and SNR of 5.9 dB. How much longer? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. 800, Nov 13 at 0705, full ID from XEROK, 50 mil vatios,
Ciudad Juárez, address, Grupo 7, etc., dominant on E-W longwire, an
unusual situation vs KQCV, PJB and CKLW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEWFOUNDLAND [and non]. 2598-USB, Nov 13 at 0743 UT, RoboYL in
English with gale warnings for Northern Grand Banks. Per
DXinfocentre.com, first broadcast of the day on 2598 starts at 0737
from VCP-4, 3000 watts at Placentia. That`s 4:07 am NST.

2749-USB, Nov 13 at 0744, same RoboYL voice but unusually much weaker
tho closer, VCO, 550 watts from Sydney NS, first broadcast of day
starting at 0740 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 388 kHz, see USA beacon logs for one Okie, OK

** U S A. A quiet night with no Blitz storms across N America, so
digging deep into the beacon band, Nov 13 at 0717 until 0732 UT when a
local noise source cut on curtailing my bandscan below 376 kHz:

419-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0711 UT, NDB GB which is 25 watts from Great
Bend KS. I was tuned to 417-USB. Not very far but first time heard.

412-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0713 UT, NDB CMY, 30 watts from Sparta / Fort
McCoy WI. I was tuned to 410-USB. Last logged Jan 27, 2021.

408-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0715 UT, NDB JDM, 25 watts from Colby /
Wheatfield KS. My previous log from 2020y bears repeating:

``408-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0643 UT, JDM, 25-watt NDB at Colby -
Wheatfield, Kansas. One wonders how a call with no connexion to the
listed location came about? So I try searching on JDM Colby, finding
``Colby Howard Lands at JD Motorsports For Majority of 2020 ``
about NASCAR - that`s a stretch! Further down are linx to JDM as
NAVAID, but no call significance. Even further down, there is a JDM
Enterprises, LLC, in Colby among 55 other places:
https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ks/8804627
but what does it do?`` Do they have a private airstrip in Colby?

392-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0724 UT, NDB FMZ, 25 watts at Fairmont / Beklof
NE.

388-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0725 UT, NDB OK, 25 watts at Okmulgee OK. I was
tuned to 386-USB.

383-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0726 UT, NDB CNP, 25 watts at Chappell NE. It`s
in SW NE on I-80 between Ogallala and Sidney near the NE corner of
CO.

378-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0728 UT, random dits, occasional dahs or longer
dash, as if a very out-of-order beacon. Like previous log:

``UNIDENTIFIED. 378 kHz, Oct 22 at 0620 UT, NDB bandscan finds
intermittent dashes, dits and dahs. Sounds like an NDB but very out of
order. If really on 378, dxinfocentre.com lists only four, in BC, OR,
QC and NU, none very likely here. classaxe.com has only the three
Canadians, with OR and several more marked out, and none of them, then
or now noted with any problem like this. It`s still possible this was
a local device previously unnoticed. Anyone else hearing thus?``

Logs
** CUBA. 11880, Nov 12 during the 22, 23; and Nov 13, 00 hours, no
signal from RHC in French or English. Maybe eventually land on a new
B21 frequency by Tuesday if they ever get their act together.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9440, Nov 12 at 2012, further chex for R. Cairo
reactivated on SW in case it`s still on the same frequency as heard
before 1600: something JBA, but it`s probably CRI English via Kunming.
At 2000-2115 UT, ERU supposed to be on 9885 in French, but zilch.

9900: Everybody`s set for the 2115 in English, and it`s widely heard
but with horrible modulation. Not convenient for me to check until
2215 via UTwente, which falsely claims in red to be unusable: UTw is
funxioning, but S9+30 signal extremely suptorted, itself unusable.
Direct to here at 2226, it`s VP estimated at 9899.57 making a het with
something close to 9900.00, probably Taiwan/China radio war. Almost an
hour earlier, Steven C. Wood in MA measured Cairo on 9899.58, and
Richard Langley, NB, on 9899.586 at UTwente.

Next scheduled is 2215-2330 Portuguese on 9545, unchecked. Then
2330-2445 in Arabic on 9730: I do check that at 0010, a JBA carrier
into Brasil but can`t tell the language, else? Finally, 0045-0200
Spanish on 9900, nothing there at 0129 into Maryland.

WOR iogroup members have contacted R. Cairo welcoming them back to SW,
but providing evidence that something is drastically wrong with the
modulation. Alan Roe says the address is
englisheuropeservice@gmail.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 12 at 2300, REE active again on N American
frequency, unlike yesterday, for token English, and a good thing,
since direct it`s sufficient on the portable DX-398 while the other
three 11/12 MHz channels are useless. Feature is an interview in a
noisy bar ``this past Thursday September 30``, so a rerun, with author
of a book about the jazz scene in New Orleans; OK, but what has this
to do with Spain? Well yes, Spain once owned N.O... (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: Confirmed Friday
November 12 at 1915-1944 UT on IRRS SW, 7290 via Bulgaria; and 918 kHz
via Italy, via two separate remotes only a couple seconds apart,
complete, not cut off after 15 minutes like last week. At 1926 I can
tell that the understation CCI on 918 is in Spanish, i.e. Madrid.

918 I started monitoring earlier via Noale SDR at 1851 and found an
aircheck of KUSW! which means this week`s AWR `Wavescan` at an unsked
time, filler? It`s S9+15 with some CCI making a ripple SAH. UTwente is
down again, so I try Carnow, Ireland for 7290 - no signal yet. At
1858, 918 cuts Jeff White short as he starts to play Mormon Tabernacle
organ music, for ``IRRS SW`` ``sign on`` and `Feature Story News`.

Now 7290 is also on at 1900 but poor signal into Carnow, S7 with ACI
from CRI English 7295; LSB helps some. // 918. Not only FSN but FS
`Spotlight`, 1904 another IRRS ID and FSN stuff, 1908 into music, 1914
Lord`s Prayer in pop gospel version. 1915 ``IRRS signing on`` even tho
it`s already on, and into WOR 2112 on both. Some other unrecognized
talk program followed at 1945, and 7290 off by 2000.

Missed checking the scheduled Friday 2130 repeat of WOR on 918 kHz;
anyone hear it?

WOR 2112 confirmed Friday November 12 at 2330, new later time, on WRMI
5950, fair with fading into DX-398 portable with short wire.

Also confirmed UT Saturday November 13 at 0230, another latened time,
on WRMI 9395, only S7-S8 into Missouri remote. Next:

** U S A. 7490.00, Nov 12 at 2228, WRNO during `Behaviour Night`,
notice that it`s almost ON-frequency! Someone must have nudged it.

(7490 and 6160 webcasts), UT Sat Nov 13 just before `AAAWWW`, instead
of overmodulated/distorted as the past several weeks, now at 0058 the
7490 one is just barely modulated with FKB gospel huxter. Sufficient
if I turn up player and own computer volume to max! Hardly registers
on the mod meter. But the A61 webcast of 6160 is loud and clear music
separately. Almost 0100, FKB hears a beep and knows it`s time to get
off.

Then they join for a non-standard AAAWWW opening, rather ``Hire the
A-Team``, TimTron IDs, his jazzed up `William Tell Overture` without
interjexions. But the volume level on A51 web has plunged to match
7490`s. Now I try Maryland remote for how they are doing on SW air.
JBA, but 7490 carrier offset is only -7 to +2 Hz, as I had monitored
earlier circa .00.

0104 TT opens, ``live and direct from studio one master control`` --
does he mean he`s in Monticello or doing it remotely from Skowhegan?
Starts fiddling with music cartridges explaining how these ancient
devices work; ``pissing rain out there``. 0107 caller interrupts and
TT starts to blow him off -- don`t call until I say the phone lines
are open!! But caller persists and gets thru to him that there is no
modulation on the frequencies! Chastened, TT tnx the caller and says
he`ll get to work on it. At 0112 we overhear a bit of another phone
conversation under the music. After that not a single word more from
TT or anyone for the rest of the hour; just various rock music cuts,
at first with breakups, loud/soft modulation. After 0130, just music
playing at normal modulation. A royal mess, but at least no
anti-American rants this week.

About 0120 I check the SW frequencies again, into Missouri remote:
7490 JBA carrier; 6160 minus 55 Hz = 6159.945v, undermodulated but the
music audible, heavy ACI from S9+35 6165 Cuba; LSB helps some. At
0123, 4790 minus 20 Hz offset = 4789.980, JBA carrier vs CODAR.
Sometime after 0200 I notice Hal Turner is on the webcast. Trying the
three SW frequencies only, John Carver says he was not hearing
anything by 0114 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
