Logs
** AUSTRALIA. 10125 USB, Aug 11 at 0645, two Oz hams S4/S5 discussing
equipment. Mentioning Sydney, and Damian? name of one of them? This
time at 0652 IDs without fonetix sound like VK2XZL and VK2AKP.
QRZ.com:

``VK2XZL Australia flag Australia, GI SCLANDERS, 49 WARRAH RD, YOWIE
BAY, NSW 2228, Australia``; and:
``VK2AKP/SK2024 Australia flag Australia, SILENT KEY SILENT KEY,
Saviour "Sam" GALEA, 57 FAIRVIEW ROAD, CANLEY VALE, NS 2166,
Australia``

So one of them is deceased. Possibly miscopied one of the letters? Can
also search QRZ.com by names: there are 394 Damians, worldwide!
including 8 in Australia, but none with similar calls.

In late-night bandscanning I always check this frequency, but first
time any phone heard again in ages. Jan 16 at 0756 a QSO in
non-English, German? unID Ozzies last heard Aug 29, 2023 at 0647. I
never hear any other voices on this band.

This is of particular interest, to me, anyway, since the 29m ``30m``
hamband is supposedly for CW/digital modes only, not phone, but
Australia apparently makes an exception (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9670, Aug 11 at 0350, Texas R SW test with `YROT`
versions, via Channel 292, only S3/S5 and noisy direct = SINPO 25232.
Insufficient for easy listening over here. Others report better
results; it was aimed toward western N America. Station claims 10 kW
transmitter power contrary to 1 kW license (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275 & 6165, Aug 11 at 0340 into UTwente, VOT English
missing from both frequencies, as it was for the previous 2200
broadcast on 11785. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Hope they
can get back on in time for the `Letterbox` on Sunday (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2255 monitoring: ``[WOR] World of
Radio on WTWW Today --- Sat, Aug 10 at 11:40 PM --- As expected,
reception of WTWW on 9475 at 2300 UT continues to improve for me as we
move past mid-summer. Here is the open and close as received by me
using my RSP1a

Logs
** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, August 10 at 0651 UT, ND beacon SW in
StillWater is JBA; had not been able to reconfirm it lately. All
depends on S/N, how much noise remains, and noise-blanking.

Also a JBA carrier on 267 but no ID copiable. Surely HET in HenryEtTa,
25 watts as heard before and the only 267 currently listed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 10 at 2200, UTwente is getting a carrier with no
audio, but off around 2202*, and no come back. Not on alternate goofs
9875 nor 11795. So much for VOT English today; something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2255 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Saturday August 10 at 0330 ex-0400 on WTWW 5085. I was listening at
0300 and heard WOR start to play for a few seconds, but then cut to an
hour of harmonious gospel music; no WOR at 0330, and chopped off the
air at 0357* before WOR could appear at previous time. Evidently
George`s timechange was not implemented by Bob Biermann, who later
told me that would not be convenient. The ``attack`` on George may
have contributed to the lack of coördination. Who knows what may
happen next week? Then I hear from George on the phone Aug 10 around
1840 UT. He`s hurting but able to keep running WTWW. Hopes to get the
other transmitter going next week with separate programming; he told
me previously, 9930 daytime, 5910 or 5920 nighttime, not 5830. 9475 on
the air again normally at 2235 Aug 10, anticipating WOR at 2300.

Confirmed Saturday August 10 at 0950 the 0930 on WRMI 9455, S9+20/25
direct.

Confirmed Saturday August 10 at 1450 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.000+, S7/S9 and noisy into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday August 10 at 1600 on WRN North America
stream.

Also confirmed Saturday August 10 at 1734 the 1730 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.002- at S8/S9, and 6160.000+, S9+5 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday August 10 at 2017 about 4 minutes into so
started late circa 2013 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+16 into
nearby SDR. Next:

2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475;
0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]
0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500];

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Latest on the WTWW situation: see WORLD OF RADIO report

UNIDENTIFIED. 890 kHz, Aug 10 at 0430, the Fuerteventura, Canary
Islands SDR is getting a JBA signal here hetting 891 Algeria - the
reverse of what I hear in OK. 890 has to be from the Americas, perhaps
the 200? kW Cuban, or the closest Brazilian, 20/10 kW R. Tamandaré in
Olinda, Pernambuco, ZYI772. Would you believe that mwlist does not
specify the STATE of each ZY entry? It`s a huge country and that would
be like eliminating states from USA listings - the most informed
American would never be able to know the state for every little town
with a radio station - and many town names are duplicated in several
states. So I had to look in WRTH 2024 which does show the states. BTW,
Tamandaré sounds familiar: was it also on SW long ago? I had been
checking this remote for TWR Benin, a weak signal on 1566, and not
much on 1476.

As to the het from 891 I hear against 890 WLS, presumably Algeria,
note this at almost the same time today:
https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/107820942
``889 & 891, 4:23am #42486 -- When there's a 1 kHz heterodyne against
890 the usual guess is 891 Algeria. This may not always be the case.
See if there is also a carrier present on the low side at
approximately 889. The 889/891 pair, as illustrated below, is most
likely from a Progreso Cuba outlet. Inline image -- 890 on the plot is
R. Progreso Cuba dominant. Usual crummy audio.
Plot from PEI SDR screen a few minutes ago, ~0400 UTC.
Mark Connelly, WA1ION | South Yarmouth, MA, USA | FN41vq``

Not now nor ever so far have I noticed anything on 889, but shall be
on lookout for it. Then at 0625 Aug 10 direct with the DX-398 I get an
891 bearing of NE rather than SE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Aug 10 at 0637, JBA signal here, always presumed
to be Estación 4940 or Onda Corta 4940, thought to transmit from Apure
area in southern Venez. Most nights this late there is no signal
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1390, Aug 9 at 0650 UT, local KCRC Enid in dead
air again, still 0700 as sibling station 1640 KZLS also seems DA, but
hearing some talkstation. I understand that WTMI Biloxi MS, lately
rock, is off the air. Likely either KBJA in Utah or WSJP in Wisconsin
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.399-, Aug 9 at 2020, Republic of Yemen Radio,
via Riyadh, VG S9+10/20 into UTwente, in the clear, no noise or

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 9 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9+30/40 direct and the other three audible, and even managing to
modulate. Preview topic to be about Olympix. 2202 news, Catalan guy
AWOL, may have gone back to refuge in Waterloo (Belgium, not Iowa).
2209 interview about how well Spain`s women athletes are prepared for
the marathon. In Tokyo the team ranked higher, somehow, than
individuals who need more training (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 21485, Aug 9 at 1514, OSOB is a JBA carrier
here, so also the SSOB, per EiBi, R. Tamazuj via FRANCE at 1445-1600.
There is no point in using abbrs. if you have to keep explaining them,
but I do so occasionally, like now, FYI: just barely audible; only
station/signal on band; strongest signal/station on band (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug at 2158, well past 2200, no signal from VOT
English direct; so I escuche Spain for a rato. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler. By 2211 recheck, VOT music is on at S9/+10
direct but JBA with NL of S9. By 2232 I have it via UTwente when
measured, music at S9+20/40; 2238 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, and
`That`s Why` repeat on how a kilo of iron and a kilo of cotton weigh
the same! 2242 music. 2246 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2248 music.
2253 s/off of the 1230 on 17620. 2253.7 IS. 2256 restart IS with
German IDs. 2300 timesig and s/on German for the 1130 on 15350 and the
1730 on 9840, but NOT now, and into Altrichten. Still going past 2315
with musik. Abrupt chopoff at 2322* during some talk feature.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 kHz MCW, Aug 9 at 0637 UT, FBY, ND beacon at Fairbury,
southeast Nebraska. Glad to hear this again, as conditions slightly
improve, vs local and atmospheric noise levels, but noise blanker
essential on NRD-545. Also JBA in daytime at 1521, the only one in a
second-adjacent state. It`s 50 watts per
https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals where no one in OK reports it.
422 km = 262 statute miles from Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Other area ND beacons able to copy August 9 daytime
groundwave at 1521 UT on NRD-545 with noise blanker engaged: besides
local Enid 341 EI: 332 IC Wichita KS; 407 HRU Herington KS; 515 PN
Ponca City OK. There are a few more in OK & KS, still below the noise
level if still on air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. As far as I can tell, this is a legitimate email from George
McClintock at 1558 UT August 9: ``WTWW: Attacked. I was attacked with
a led pipe by 3 illegals and was injured severely. I broke as many
fingers, legs and arms of the attackers as I could. The attackers are
all FAR worse off that I am. It will be several days or weeks before I
can respond to you. George McClintock 8-9-2024``

Earlier UT Aug 9, in good spirits, George had phoned me that the WORLD
OF RADIO time on 5085 would be moved half an hour earlier to 0330 UT
Saturdays. He also remarked that Bob Biermann was facing serious
health problems. I fear that with both of them potentially sidelined,
WTWW operations may suffer. We wish them the best!

9475, Aug 9 at 2157, however, is on air as usual with SFAW outro, but
more of same past 2400. Aug 10 at 0058, QSY announcement to 5085, off
9475 and 5085 comes on by 0059, into `Truth 2 Ponder`. Operations
nominal.

I suppose if he`s laid up, might still operate WTWW by remote control,
but not carry out further repairs on site; or his son could help out.
In the past George has made some outlandish comments verbally - just
kidding. We can hope that`s what happened here, but it`s up to him or
someone in the know to clarify or confirm. If a joke, `tain`t funny,
but better not to be true (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` WBCQs check Aug 9 at 2345 into nearby NH SDR:
3265.168 on at S6/S8 with FKB. 5130 -72 Hz = 5129.928 on at S7/9+5
with FKB. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 at S9/+15 with TOMBS. 7490 -72 Hz =
7389.928 at S9/+10 with FKB. 9330.000 at S6/S9 with WLCR. So the
bottom two normally silent frequencies imply a new AAAWWW is imminent.
I continue listening on 5129.928.

UT Sat Aug 10: 0000 William Tell Overture theme starts; first comments
about `messing up the airwaves again``, etc. 0003 it`s a ``Fireside
chat with A&A``, Angela on lofi phone line presumably still in Deland
of Fla. Talking about tube radios, free speech; 80% of Americans are
overweight. We need to take better care of ourselves and the planet.
0029 trimulcasting announcement on 7, 5 and 3, fails to mentions date
but surely a live new one. Politix: can`t have any more ``stolen
elexions`` as he is still delusional. 0040 new issue of Free Radio
Weekly has arrived: spends a lot more time than usual going thru the
pirate logs, finally at 0051 getting to my Enid pirate CB log - ``Hey,
Glenn, how you doing? Must be 105 years old``. 0053 a bit more email.
A&A hold a ``Soviet`` = meeting, for an hour to a sesquihour every day
at noon - as married couples need to do, keep talking with each other.
Muses that he has thought about putting that on the air on 5130.
Wrapup and prayer running a sesquiminute overtime into Hal Turner
after 0100. At 0117*, pulled the plug on 5130; I had let it run but
certainly was not paying attention to Turner! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, August 9 at 0258
gets only one hit, on 819 kHz, a spot hardly ever/never in optimum
winter conditions. MWList shows far most likely is EGYPT:
``NMA Al-Barnameg al-Aam 24h ar Batrah 300 kW General programme, ex 1
MW // 882 918 936 981 1008 1080 1179 1278 1305 1314 1341 1350 1368
1584`` Iran also has a couple, only 50 & 30 kW. When tuned to 818 kHz
USB, I could hear a 1 kHz tone underneath a 2 kHz tone from WBAP.
Batrah is north of Cairo where sunrise today was not until 0319 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, Aug 9 at 0637 UT, JBA carrier hetting WLS,
presumably ALGERIA again; but was not hearing it around 0300. Is it on
air 24h? Yes, per mwlist, but irregular (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15118-15140 approx., Aug 9 at 2213, INTRUDING OTH radar
clickery, peaking S9+10 direct but no broadcasters in the way as our
bands vacantize. Can you blame the OTHRs for moving in? Well, yes,
anyway. 22 kHz bandwidth seems typical, and logged before in this same
area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
