** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004, Dec 1 at 2300, VOT again not off the
air in English, S9+10 direct vs S9 line noise level = VP, no
comparison to simulSPAIN 9690. Caught last few words of s/off into IS

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2219 monitoring: not confirmed
Friday December 1 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, JBA into
UTwente but no CCI, enough to tell it`s #2218 instead. I was late in
uploading it to IRRS server! They now have 2219 for further airings.
This also reminds me to be sure WRMI has it ASAP. I seem to be getting
forgetful. Via Dec BDXC-UK Communication, note this:

``A test transmission has been heard on 1323 kHz from the Brighton
(Southwick) transmitter which used to carry Smooth Radio Sussex. The
announcement stated “This is an engineering test transmission to
establish the feasibility of new commercial and community radio
stations. If you can hear this broadcast we would be very grateful for
your reception report. You can email broadcastconsultant@gmail.com
Thank you for listening and enjoy the music we have for you as part of
this test transmission.” (mediumwave.info 12-13 November)``

So WOR from Italy on 1323, Fri 2130 & Sun 2100, may regain CCI, but so
far clear even unto UTwente.

** U S A. Checking WBCQ activity pre-AAAWWW, Dec 2 at 0043, first
trying W1NT NH SDR, but it`s disabled due to 160m contest: and it was
disabled previous weekend for some other ham contest, why? To
discourage cheating?

Maine one is really too close but into it: 3265 off; 5130.252 ATATT
S7/9+10; 6159.933 TOMBS S8/9+10; 7489.944 FKB S7/S9; 9330+ WLCR PP
S9/+10. Its calibration is pretty close but unstable: WWV 5 & 10 MHz

80 degrees today in central FL which NWS confirms. Angela is

audible on them for first time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 30 at
0435-0440, including some not usually detected but all are extremely
weak JJBBA: 576, 612, 711, 774, 855, 891, 1008, 1089, 1107, 1161, 1305
and two beating on 1710 = pirates or TIS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0220 UT December 1

** CUBA. More and more traditional RHC frequencies are missing,
perhaps old transmitters crashing. But still plenty of
jamming-against-nothing: Nov 29 at 0740: 5800, 5980, 9565, 11860,
11930. All pulsing but no two sound exactly the same. And likely
against something, underneath 6030, 7355, 7435 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 29 at 2300, token English from SNR is
sufficient into DX390 with clipon. Previews two features but I don`t
get the topix; after news about new government formation, 2308 report
about journalists killed in Lebanon. Still nothing heard warning that
the English broadcast Mon Dec 4 and everything else will be off the
air due to Noblejas power station outage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN. 9405, Wed Nov 29 at 1645, via TWR Delhi SDR, I`m monitoring
RTI English when `Status Update` is scheduled, i.e. mailbag show: and
there it is, extremely informal M&W chat with laughter about the
Thermos bottle company, and how to pronounce Ikea; 1652 finally a
letter from India, discussing their 2024 calendar. 1653 briefly SDR
gets overloaded with something`s music. 1658 sign-off mentions this
16-17 English to S Asia on 9405, but also 03-04 to SE Asia on 15320,
which we suspected was kaput, yet to be reconfirmed by axual
monitoring. 9405 makes it direct to N America but I don`t try it
today. The ChiCom ban RTI from HFCC; both Aoki & EiBi lack the 15320
English, rather 04-05 only, in Cantonese & Hakka, with only Cantonese
jammed, why not those lucky Hakkans? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Nov 29 at 2318, with BFO on the R75 I
can tell VOT is not off the air but totally unusable below
linenoiselevel of S9+20. No recheck until 2348 VG S9+45 into UTwente
during music. 2352 s/off with wrong English sked - times local called
UTC, but current B23 frequencies, usual clueless announcer. 2354 IS,
chopoff in about a semiminute before 2355 uncovering the CCCCCCI which
itself seems to have some weaker musical CCI but nothing else listed;
maybe just background from same East Turkistan transmitter, std
denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2218 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday November 29 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9/+25 into Maryland
SDR.

I happen to awaken at 1055 Wed Nov 29 so check 5035 USB for WOR 2217
on Unique Radio, Australia. As expected, no trace of a signal from
this low-power. Can someone hearing it directedly or remotedly
confirm?

NOT confirmed Wednesday November 29 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490, for the
second week in a row! JP finishes his show and then dead air into NH
SDR on 7490 -46 Hz = 7489.954, S9/+10 and seems back up to full
strength, FWIW. 5130+ is also DA, and so is the 7490-stream when I
give up at 2205 after notifying the boardops again. 2228 direct on
R75, 7490- still DA. Next check 2311, gospel huxtering has resumed.

24 hours before. He agrees on 9960 resumed tonight, until 0659*
presumably switching to 3945 and no harmonix. I`m not always tuning

UNIDENTIFIED. 26374.84 AM, Nov 29 at 2313, not in the CB, but sounds
like a horrible 27+ MHz pileup of hets, some on + side, mainly in
extremely colloquial Spanish also playing music (Glenn Hauser, OK,

US/China relations, better signal and modulation here for SE Asia from
x site, than // 5990 Cuba relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Nov 28 at 2320, NO signal on RHC #1 legacy frequency,
supposedly scheduled 2100/0600 or beyond, also mornings. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. Unfound now on any other 25m channel (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 13705, Nov 28 at 2315 Japanese language lessons, ``...desu
ka`` over and over, with music ditty, during Thai hourthird at
2300-2320, NHK S9/+10 yet off the back, ex-13650 no longer colliding
with pointless China/Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11610, Nov 28 at 2318, S9/+10 of dead air,
probably MWV failed to turn off by 2258 after Arabic; they have
nothing scheduled 2300/0300 so why not, no hurry? Seemed slightly
off-frequency, and adjacent to 11615 Chinese = jamming and/or RFA
TINIAN this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Nov 28 at 2310, rock music with yelling,
buried in local line noise level of S9+20 until R75 NB engaged to read
S9+10. Many logs here say it`s Thunder Chicken:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,121904.0.html

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Nov 28 at 2300, VOT not off the air,
but can detect it at S9+10/20 only by engaging the R75 Noise Blanker,
otherwise S9+30; still no pleasure to listen. But VG at 2345 into
UTwente where exactified. 2347 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music.
2353 s/off with correct but partial English sked. Something`s always
awry at Ankara; 2354 IS; 2356* just in time to avoid pre-German,
uncovering the 6CI which was always audible under (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Nov 28 at 1605 UT, not full quieting but audible
at S6 peaks above S4/S5 noise level, remote news report and weather
segment, no doubt KMK282, the studio audio from KOVR or KMAX,
Stockton/Sacramento CA. Also propagating, the K6FRC beacon on 28300
CW. Otherwise I always have a local birdie AM carrier on 26111 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

direct, something in English. Appears the offset-minus primary
transmitter has been restored after weak sigs on plus side or none at
all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Nov 28 at 2305, WTWW still active and S9+40/50 direct;
after gospel screed, preacher gives date as morning of Nov 26, 2023,
i.e. Sunday only two days ago, at Laporte Church of Christ: so instead
of decades-old PPPP recordings, something new from SFAW HQ. Also the
JBA spur carriers about +/- 13 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search of entire band at
9/kHz intervals, November 28 at 0430: only 711 het on 710, and rather
strong but no audio pulled. A few years ago, one of the Cuban Rebeldes
was thought to be exactly +1 kHz off-frequency, but surely more likely
the Moroccan imperialist station in Western Sahara. WRTH 2023 shows 8
Rebeldes on 710 from 1 to 200 kW. The 400 kW Moroccan // on 936 used
to be a regular carrier here but has been inactive a few years (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7555, re my unID noise Nov 24 at 0809, this reply: ``Hi
Glenn, I checked 7555 kHz last night from here in Marahau, New
Zealand, and while I couldn't see any DRM signal, I did see two
adjacent narrower band digital utility transmissions. Vastly different
strengths here, but the lesser one (lower in frequency) peaked up
around 0730 UTC. The result did look very similar to a DRM signal, but
was not. I wonder if that is what you spotted? Cheers, Chris -- Chris
Mackerell, Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, Marahau, RD2, Motueka 7197, New

Maybe, but I don`t recall it being unbalanced, rather like normal DRM.

tune DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
