Hauser
** CANADA [non]. 11990, Pop Shop Radio via Woofferton, 0300 UT Sept
10, QSL card in pmail received Sept 21, with enclosures: schedule, two
logo stickers, Maple Leaf cutout bearing a bear and ``Hope BC``; round
fabric Maple Leaf patch as on flag. Very nicely done (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 7390, Sept 23 at 0458-0500* direct, jazz until cutoff with
no announcement; whatsit? EiBi: AWR in French to N Africa via Nauen at
0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Sept 23 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9+30/40 direct, also on 17715 and 15520, never on 15390. News leads
with UN SG calling for change in its struxure; no time to listen more
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9875.003+, Sunday Sept 22 at 2040, I`m QRX for
VOT `Letterbox` now instead of waiting until a sesquihour later on
11785, which may or may not be on air, and conflicting with a lot of
other programming I want to get. This transmission is 500 kW at 105
degrees for India, SE Asia, Australia, NZ, but plenty backward signal
into UTwente, S9+15/25 atop some CCI which would be North Korea,
should be avoided. At 2045 ends sports, ``always-by-your-side`` promo
and `Weekly Analysis` by John ``Adja`` sounds like, a foreign policy
researcher, about pagers as weapons. 2050 music. 2057
``with-you-every-hour`` promo and `Letterbox`: Halil  is ``not that
well, voice not much good``, he apologizes but sounds OK to me. 1)
Siddartha ---, India, reception report from a regular. 2) USA, John
Fryberg? Jr., New Hampshire. Now at 2050 the CCI relents, as VOK stops
aiming at ME, but resumes at 2100 toward FE, much weaker. 3) Roman
Steiner, Germany; or Norman? 4) Roberto Brizzo? or Guizzo?, Italy. 5)
Mr. Markey?, India. 6) André/Anatoly Klepov, Moskva, another regular
QSL seeker. 7) Carlo Giordani, Italy. By 2106, time`s up, ``Goodbye,
my lovely dear listeners, goodbye``. 2107 music and I tune out (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.005, Sunday Sept 22 at 2159, VOT not off
air but S9+50/55 into UTwente, 2200 ~correct timesig and open English,
but I don`t need to keep listening since I got `Letterbox` a
sesquihour earlier on 9875, q.v. However, I check UTwente again for
s/off, but it`s still going at 2259, 2300 timesig, and German, which
continues the entire hour! as not scheduled, with the same program
themes we hear in English, such as at 2334 for ``Warum?`` At 2356 IS
still playing with Portuguese! IDs, but cutoff 2359* before another
extraneous language. EiBi shows PP at 00-01 and SS at 01-02 are
supposed to be on 9870. Just as well, because at *0000 Chinese on
11785.000 as the ChiCom achieve better frequency accuracy, much weaker
than TRT had been. EiBi shows CRI Mandarin at 00-13 via site x. There
are several sites x+ but a single x means: ``x-Xian-Xianyang "594"
(Shaanxi) 34N12-108E54`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 23 at 2159, nosig from VOT English direct, but
*2200.3 cuts on JBA carrier with Doppler flutter, bad prop? Yet Spain
q.v. is inbooming on 17855 et al. By 2203 recheck, 11785 is off, so
another occasion trying to come up on 11785 but failing. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
September 22 at 2157 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003-,
S9+5/10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday September 22 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9/+20/35
into Maryland SDR altho aimed NW.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10
into Durango2 SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 23 at 0305 the 0300 on Area 51 via
WBCQ 6160 -70 Hz = 6159.93, S9/+10 into Georgia SDR, but JBA direct.

Also confirmed Monday September 23 at 1938 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+ at S9+15 and 3975.003- at S8/9+10 into UTwente.
Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

As a non-commercial service, voluntary financial support appreciated.
Thanks this week for a generous seasonal contribution for autumn from
Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, by check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser,
P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

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

** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED, at first: 9475, Sept 23 at 2208, zero signal
from this WTWW direct, but 9930 is on. However, as I tune across the 9
MHz band at 2209-2219, I encounter numerous extremely distorted
spurblobs, cadence of modulation is talk but totally unreadable, quite
broad and shifty so no exact frequencies pinnable. Circa: 9416, 9546,
9676, 9682, 9692, 9802, 9828, 9918, 9943, 10059. I compare these on
second radio to the only bigsigs on band at this time, 9930 WTWW, 9350
& 9980 WWCR, and there is NO match. So I suspect it`s the 9475
transmitter haywire again. At 2302, all clear, no 9475 nor spurs
direct. Not paying close attn but at 2332* noise surge as 9475 carrier
has been on but off again. By Sept 24 at *0011.5, 9475 on for half a
minute; *0013 on again with open carrier, soon turning up mod of PPPP
and stays on. At 0018, bandscan without any of those spurs while 9475
remains clean. Oops, 9475 cuts off again suddenly at 0024*. Cuts back
on at *0028.7 JIP PPPP again. 0058 usual QSY announcement to 5085,
which comes on about *0059. Stays on past 0150 more or less OK but
some clunking sounds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Monday Sept 23 at 2303, WRMI VG direct with `On the
Media` soliciting SW reception reports and even audios about SWLing,
2305 into regular opening of show which is about disappearing and
endangered weekly alt newspapers such as The Riverfront Times, St.
Louis which was recently sold to who knows what and everyone fired!
`OTM` has several times on the WRMI skedgrid, but not this one!
Supposedly at 2300 Mon it`s `Viva Miami`, i.e. expendable, at 2315
`Midnight Cry Ministry` and at 2330 `Alameda Bible Fellow` which are
surely paid for. Not rechecked until 2340 when in fact it`s a
ponderous preacher, I think ABF, certainly not OTM, so it did not get
played for a full hour! System G sked shows OTM Mondays 2100 and UT
Tuesdays 0200 on 9395. OTM originates at WNYC: let`s hope it survive
the major cutbacks there. I haven`t got into the habit of listening to
it on WRMI, but really should if there`s a reliable complete hour for
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1470, Sept 23 at 0506 UT, ``1470 and 100.3, WMBD`` ID
immediately upon tuneacross: Peoria IL, U4 5/5 kW. Somewhat surprising
as NRC Pattern book shows very tight lobes a bit CCW from N/S day and
night; but radio-locator shows only slightly favoring N/S and not
notched thisaway. Website has no ``about us`` or station history; have
wondered what call could signify: maybe, ``We Might Be DX``. Here`s a
history,
https://fromthehistoryroom.wordpress.com/tag/1470-wmbd/
but not about the callsign; however, can it be coincidental that one
early announcer was Milton BudD?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13790, Sept 23 at 2205, S9/+10 of dead air with Doppler
flutter, maybe mix with trace of mod? EiBi shows CNR1 jammer and Sound
of Hope starting at 2130; also listed is Ifrikya FM, Ouargla site,
ALGERIA, at 1900-0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** CUBA. 15230, Sept 22 at 0315, suptorted Spanish at S9+20/30.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. English on 6000 also emitting. 15230,
Sept 22 at 1436, S6/S8 of dead air direct. By 1500 it`s off into
Maryland SDR; if on, the DA might have been in Esperanto (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 9490.1, Sept 22 at 0305, S7/S9 open carrier or is it JBM?
Evidently the defective Issoudun not turned off as RMI`s R. República
is supposedly scheduled now for only one hour at 0100 on days 712345
and 6. It was/is subject to jamming but unseems that now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. ``Shortwave Radio out of summer-mode. Back to normal
tomorrow. Schedule below. -- Hi Glenn, we are back from our holidays
after 3 months. European daytime propagation slowly to normal. Back to
schedule some 3 month ago. WOR now back again on 6160 at 0830 UTC on
Mondays. New schedule with change of broadcast season to B-24 on 27th
October. Will let you know.

"Hi SWR fans, after three months of reduced broadcasting time, we are
finally back and present our autumn schedule, which is as follows:
6160 kHz: 07:00 to 22:00 UTC (09:00 to 00:00 CEST) - daily

73's, Andy (Engineer SWR from Winsen at the river Aller, Germany)``,
Sept 22
(via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475.62 approx., Sept 22 at 0307, algo JBM
presumably anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH as nothing on 7475.0 where
it had always been reliably. Offfrequenciness also noted by Walt
Salmaniw (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 22 at 0312, usual JBA carrier on
signature off-frequency of Hikari FM or whatever pirate allegedly in
Sonora (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

and Kay-Love ID, as the Enid CB pirate has resumed relaying and //
105.5, K288FX, translator of KYLV OKC 88.9, S9/+10. Only here and not
on 27185v which had been primary, nor any other nearby channel. Last
heard Sept 7 on both; and Sept 10 on 27184v only relaying something
else (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PERU. 4955, Sept 22 at 0311, JBA carrier, presumably R. Cultural
Amauta, Huanta, certainly the toughest of active Peruvians here,
normally not even this audible. Not in WRTH 2024, but often reported
at least by S American DXers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005+, Sept 21 at 2252 after a full half-hour of
nothing but music, which is very nice but never identified, VOT
English sign-off by Efsun the accentuated as if on 17620 after 1230,
something`s always awry at Ankara, 2253.5 IS briefly to 2253.7* chop,
no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
September 21 at 2300 on WTWW 9475, as transmitter came on just in time
for 2259 ID and then WOR; had been off earlier in the hour. Thanks,
George, for getting back on for WOR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday September 22 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/30

Also confirmed UT Sunday September 22 at 0330 about 3 minutes into so
started circa 0327 the 0315v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+35 direct but
that includes high storm noise level.

Also confirmed Sunday September 22 at 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia
1322.995- kHz, S9 but noisy into UTwente across Europe; following
s/off announcement for SW ``7285`` but it`s really seasonally on 7290,
not close enough. Next:

** U S A. 5800, Sept 22 at 0300, Jeff White offers special QSL for
reports about Freedom Synergy Radio which follows on 5800, if sent to
radiomiami9 at gmail.com What about 9955? Previously I`ve caught them
// but not now, rather a discussion of harpsichord-like instrument. I
guess that`s R. Prague listed both on System B and H skeds. 9955 Sept
22 at 0632 with TOMBS as on sked, rather than RFI in Spanish which had
been reality this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** CUBA. 5025, Sept 21 at 0640, S9+35/45 of dead air in Spanish from
R. Rebelde, as usual. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 6070.001, Sat Sept 21 at 1900-2000, `Uncle Bill`s Melting
Pot`, monthly via Channel 292, enjoyable music from RGS and Santa
Catarina states in southern Brasil, not your samba stuff, but even a
polka? UTwente worx fine for this time and frequency. Better than on
// 3955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005+, Sat Sept 21 at 2159, VOT English not off the
air, S9+45 VG into UTwente, s/on as if it were 1230 on 17620,
something`s always awry at Ankara, into olds. 2217 ending `The Energy
Agenda` and starting `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` about leather from
near border with Iran. 2221 music. 2224  another song. 2228 another.
2236 more music. 2241, 2245 another tune... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday September 21 at *0307 on WTWW 5085: had been on the air
previous hour, but off the air at 0300, cut back on with WOR in

always, VG signal direct.

``5085. Sat, Sep 21, 2024. 0259-0330, WTWW, Lebanon-TN, in English.

music, ID and ending; 0330 Off and no returns. Fair reception: 35433.
JRX (José Ronaldo Xavier, (75), Cabedelo-Paraíba, Brasil``

Also confirmed Saturday September 21 at 0949 the 0930 on WRMI 9455,
S9+20 direct as I happen to awaken during this semihour.

Also confirmed Saturday September 21 at 1448 the 1430 on SW Gold
Radio, Germany, 6160.000+, S9 into UTwente; followed at 1500 by

1860 AM, MO, S9+15 groundwave into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday September 21 at 2000 on WRN Europe webcast.

Unfortunately, 9475 WTWW is off the air at 2226 and later chex, so
part or all of WOR at 2300 may be missing like it was last night on
5085. 9930 with TOMBS is still on the air. Next:

** U S A. 9955, UT Sat Sept 21 at 0642 is // 5850 with non-BS gospel
huxter, but must be TOM: instead of RFI in Spanish it usually has been
airing during this hour. TOMBS on 9955 supposedly starts at 0500
weekends only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, Sept 21 at 0646 UT, unusual good signal with C&W music,
rivaling 650 WSM. I bet it`s KTNN. Yes! at 0648 ID in English as
``KTNN, Window Rock, Arizona`` and two other towns. Obviously on 50 kW
ND day pattern instead of protecting WFAN NYC as required,
possiblizing much more interesting listening than stupid sportstalk,
into the Midwest. Especially when they get to Navajo drumming and
chanting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** CANADA. 28197 CW, Sept 20 at 2204, DE VE7MTY/B and 4 step-down
power dashes; and on 28174, VVV DE VE1VDM/B, and series of dits/E`s,
so 10m beacons from coast to coast. Also several phones higher up from
South America; see CHILE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28450 USB, Sept 20 at 2211, CE3KEY calling CQ DX after
working a Canadian. QRZ.com: ``CE3KEY Chile flag Chile, Leonardo (Leo)
Bonilla, Santiago, Chile`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 20 at 0637, S9+45 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde, hohum; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 800, Sept 20 at 0620, KQCV OKC with just a bit of distorted
QRM, along with several others like CKLW, PJB. McAllen SDR check at
1558 daytime: still extreme distorted talk on 800, and matching
cadence on non-distorted 690. BTW, Mauno Ritola points out that while
the ``quick & easy`` version of mwlist does not specify Mexican
states, the full database does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1460, Sept 20 at 0628, ``Grupo Fórmula`` mentioned as I
tune across. IRCA Mexican log shows only two active on 1460, and one
ORF: XEYC 1/1 kW Ciudad Juárez, Chih. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 20 at 1510, JBA signal from ex-Hikari
FM pirate. Also Sept 21 at 0020, JBA carrier vs S7/8 noise level on

topic to be about paralympix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15550.015+, Sept 20 at 1508, Arabish S8/S9
direct and slightly off-frequency plus. Check UTwente just in time
before 1527* readout 15 Hz high as above, it`s R. Tamazuj from site
MADAGASCAR but at 1445-1600, not -1527* per HFCC, EiBi and Aoki. EiBi
shows sibling service R. Dabanga for Darfur follows on 15550 from 1600
via Vatican, and 1700-1730 via France (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sept 20 at 2159 tune-in, S9+20/30 direct, VOT
English is already signing-on instead of IS, and starting olds: their
clock must be fast. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2215 in music.
2228 into UTwente when measured, music at S9+35/40. 2230 `Turkish Folk
Tales`, ``The Nightingale``. 2234 TRTVOTVorld.com promo. 2235 music.
2240 `That`s Why` repeat, Archaeological Adventure in Anatolia: the
Hittites. 2246 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2251 headlines,

on this channel at present. Details of all our services are at
bbcworldservice.com`` Lotsa luck finding anything about this there. At
1528 into UTwente when measured, S9+30/35. Keeps going past 1530 and
even past     1600!

Per HFCC & EiBi, this is amid a 17745 weekday sesquihour pause
between: Somali 1400-1500 at 225 degrees via UAE, and Kinyarwanda
1630-1700 at 315 degrees via MADAGASCAR, i.e. thisaway. I`d opt for
the latter site at this strength. But why waste all those 250 kW? On
weekends, Somali is sked straight thru, 11-17 via UAE, 17-19 via Oman

studio 9, right into politix, about taxes, ``Democrat crap``. Made
worse by both of them, especially Angela, yelling, which from a studio
makes their delusions even more of a turn-off. So I hardly pay
attention but let this new episode run in background. 5130- goes to

** MEXICO. 800, Sept 19 from 0620, the extremely distorted signal is
certainly XEERG, Ojo de Agua, Nuevo León. After two nights of hearing
horribly distorted QRM to KQCV 800 OKC, not noted earlier UT Sept 19
during primetime, but again now at 0620, altho not as severe as
before. See previous reports under OKLAHOMA [and non].

This time I`m checking remote receivers. NOT heard in OKC, so not a
defect of KQCV itself. Not heard at Durango2 SDR. But YES, audible at
these: Querétaro; Austin TX; even Truth or Consequences NM making me
wonder if XEROK could be attempting a comeback. At 0625 am also
hearing it quite well at McAllen TX SDR in the RGV, so I stick with
that. Without KQCV or other QRM there, I can tell there are Spanish
announcements between rock tunes. At 0638, Spanish ID mentions
``92.9``. A BIG clue, so let`s take another look at listings:

mwlist: ``MEX XEERG RG La Deportiva 92.9 FM Ojo de Agua * 10/2.5
relays XHERG 92.9 MHz, ex XEDD La Tremenda``

Who cares what state it`s in? Mwlist does not. But they should, since
there are more than one Ojo de Agua in the country! Google searching
without specifying Nuevo León leads to the major one in Estado de
México. But look at this in the 2024 IRCA Mexican Log:

``800 XEERG NL Ojo de Agua 10000 2500 R-G La Deportiva 24h? SPT ORO //
XERG 690 AM, XHERG 92.9 FM, and XHFMTU 103.7 FM-HD2. ex-XEDD. Stereo.
Staying on AM per IFT. Active on AM 11/23 (logged by DXer) and
included in 8/24 IFT list. This station was purchased because of its
powerful FM license, giving the operator of XERG 690 AM an FM "rim
shot" into Monterrey``

Facebook: ``La localidad de Ojo de Agua está situado en el Municipio
de Agualeguas (en el Estado de Nuevo León). Tiene 82 habitantes. Ojo
de Agua está a 380 metros de altitud.``

So there we have both an FM frequency match and a geographical match
for XEERG near Monterrey. We do not have a format match, but it would
not be unusual for a sports station to be playing music instead in the
nightmiddle. On distorted 800, I hear another announcement break at
0642 before quitting SDR. Final check direct at 0647: less distorted
music still QRMing KQCV.

Then in the daytime at 1615 UT, I check McAllen again: and there it is
by groundwave on 800, extremely distorted talk, presumably about
sports. Non-local strength, only S5. While monitoring via McAllen
remote in the night, I did not yet know about the // on 690. But now
at 1620 there is ALSO NON-distorted sports talk mentioning Monterrey,
on 690. By 1710, no signal on 690, off? but still distorted on 800.
This is not splatter from anything on 790 or 810. The TWR Brownsville
SDR is not available. BTW when I first checked the new McAllen SDR a
few days ago, it was deaf below 1800 kHz, but not anymore. I had
previously asked if anyone else was hearing the distorted 800, but no
replies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2261)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed UT

Also confirmed Thursday September 19 from 1630.7 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.000+, S9+5 into UTwente. Following ID as ``Shortwave
