thinx it`s jamming from Sirjan site, Iran (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855 at S9+30/40, 17715 & 15520, but no 15390, Wed Sept 11
at 2200, token English from SNR previews feature about the Hay?
Festival in Segovia; news leads with PM Sánchez not recognizing
Edmundo González - yet - as legitimate winner in Venezuela, altho has
been granted political asylum. 2208 interview discussing a fake word
sounding like ``mountweagle`` sometimes inserted into publications to
catch (C)opyright infringement (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 11 at 2157 past 2200, no signal direct from VOT
English; but 2201 recheck now a JBA carrier yet soon gone by 2202. No
signal into UTwente checked later about 2225. So they tried but failed
to get on the air. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 356 MCW kHz, Sept 11 at 0711, ND beacon ODX, is JBA, 25
watts at Ord, Nebraska. Heard before but not since May 13. Also JBA

This report dispatched at 0011 UT September 12

** AUSTRALIA. 10125 USB, Sept 10 at 0628, ham QSO discussing
equipment, back & forth without IDs each cambio. Finally 0634, VK7VM?
with a weaker VK5. VK7 is Tasmania, but I`m not at all sure of VM,
could be any rhyming letters like DN, etc., etc. Fonetix not employed.
I check this frequency almost every night and nothing heard for
months. Apparently Australia, alone? allows phone on the otherwise
CW/digital-only ``30m`` hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

another around 27225 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.874-887-898v, Sept 10 at 1942, trying Yemen

S7/S8, same at 2002 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Sept 10 at 2159, ME frequency from SNR is back on
air, still not 15390 for Africa; along with 17715 & 17855 for America.
But if it`s Tuesday there must not be any token English, just Ladino

S9+20/30 VG direct. 2200 timesignal 2.5 sex behind WWV! and s/on as if

** U S A. Re: Sept 9, unID on 28201 at 2204 sending nothing but 20
dits or E`s between long pauses:

``Glenn, The unidentified CW beacon that you heard on 28201 kHz is
N4WLO, in Theodore, Alabama. He started transmitting about three weeks
ago and was assigned the frequency of 28200.5 kHz by the IARU Region 2
Beacon Coordinator. I’ve heard him several times since then, always
very close to 28200.5, but perhaps he drifted up a bit yesterday. He
does send out his call letters in between the 20 dits and long pauses
that you noted, but usually only every 8-10 minutes. In a brief post
on
https://www.freelists.org/archive/hfbeacons/08-2024
he described his activity this way:

“I just moved to 28200500 HZ. The DASHES are synchronized with GPS
timing and start at the top of the second  and last for 500
millisecond. This allows me to measure the path delay/time of flight
for a back scatter signal from approx 2400 miles south of mobile.

This report dispatched at 2319 UT September 10

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.

** FRANCE. 9705-9710-9715 DRM, Sept 9 at 0550, DRM noise not on skeds,
but into an HFU SDR in Maryland displays text ID including
``AAC(1000)TDF...`` but silent, no sound until cutoff at 0556*. The
`TDF` in program info text confirms it`s ISSoudun as suspected. SNR
was 8.8, BW 10 kHz. Checking out following this inquiry Sept 8:

``Hello Glenn, I was having a listen this evening at 0545 UTC when I
heard a DRM station on 9710. It was in French and they were talking
about environmental matters. There was no ID and it suddenly
disappeared at 0557. Nothing is listed on EiBi, AOKI or HFCC for this
frequency that would fit. I also had a look at Global DRM Transmission
Schedule, but there was nothing doing there either. Do you have any
idea what it might be? I suspect it is RFI, but I can find nothing on
their web page. Interestingly I have two EWE antennae - one pointing
east and one pointing north. It was best on the north EWE. Best
wishes, Stu -- Stu Forsyth, Life Member, Chief Editor NZ DX Times and
National Treasurer, NZ Radio DX League, 79 Genesis Drive, RD5,
Christchurch 7675, NEW ZEALAND``

I replied that it was probably France which carries out unscheduled
DRM tests, and Chris Mackerell, NZ, agreed:

``This will almost certainly be another random test from TDF in
France. They have a whole raft of frequencies registered in HFCC for
"irregular DRM", but manage to ignore them and pop up randomly on
other frequencies. I have pretty much given up trying to track these
for the DRM schedules at drmrx.org since they appear to change from
day-to-day. China/"Ampegon Test" is another doing seemingly random DRM
"tests", though they are on some rather odd frequencies and I suspect
they are "testing" DRM as jamming. Cheers, Chris -- Chris Mackerell,

** FRANCE. 9705-9710-9715 DRM, Sept 9 at 0550, DRM noise not on skeds,
but into an HFU SDR in Maryland displays text ID including
``AAC(1000)TDF...`` but silent, no sound until cutoff at 0556*. The
`TDF` in program info text confirms it`s ISSoudun as suspected. SNR
was 8.8, BW 10 kHz. Checking out following this inquiry Sept 8:

``Hello Glenn, I was having a listen this evening at 0545 UTC when I
heard a DRM station on 9710. It was in French and they were talking
about environmental matters. There was no ID and it suddenly
disappeared at 0557. Nothing is listed on EiBi, AOKI or HFCC for this
frequency that would fit. I also had a look at Global DRM Transmission
Schedule, but there was nothing doing there either. Do you have any
idea what it might be? I suspect it is RFI, but I can find nothing on
their web page. Interestingly I have two EWE antennae - one pointing
east and one pointing north. It was best on the north EWE. Best
wishes, Stu -- Stu Forsyth, Life Member, Chief Editor NZ DX Times and
National Treasurer, NZ Radio DX League, 79 Genesis Drive, RD5,

I replied that it was probably France which carries out unscheduled
DRM tests, and Chris Mackerell, NZ, agreed:

``This will almost certainly be another random test from TDF in
France. They have a whole raft of frequencies registered in HFCC for
"irregular DRM", but manage to ignore them and pop up randomly on
other frequencies. I have pretty much given up trying to track these
for the DRM schedules at drmrx.org since they appear to change from
day-to-day. China/"Ampegon Test" is another doing seemingly random DRM
"tests", though they are on some rather odd frequencies and I suspect
they are "testing" DRM as jamming. Cheers, Chris -- Chris Mackerell,

** FRANCE [non]. 7340, Sept 9 at 1545, checking for more N Atlantic
weather info like heard briefly in July in case there be another boat
race, 15-16 UT on 7340 & 13745 - 7340 best into UTwente, 13745 further
SDRs like E North America or Canarias -- but none yet, rather only
listee at this hour PBS Xinjiang, Kazakh service at 08-18 via Urumqi,
EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems. Rather nice music mixed with talk, 5-pip
timesignals at hourtops 1600 & 1700, steady S7/S8. Nothing on 13745
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15440, Sept 9 at 1430, familiar hymn tune, not music
box, but good signal. Sked as TWR Urdu at 1430-1500; immediately
following AWR Chinese sked via GUAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 28228 CW, Sept 9 at 2206, JBA beacon
starting with ZL-, no doubt the usual ZL3TEN. Also unID on 28201 at
2204 sending nothing but 20 dits or E`s between long pauses; and unID
on 28262 at 2208 with dash and VVV, too weak: may well be the only

OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Sept 9 at 0221, pirate music S9/+10. Per

contact in Galicia, and the lives of Viking women (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TAJIKISTAN. 15515.00, Sept 9 at 0233, YL speaking slowly, seems
English cadence but hard to understand, S9/+10 with flutter. EiBi

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sunday Sept 8 at 2159, VOT not off the air with

2214 music and 2215 `The Letterbox Program` with Halil. Reveals it was
Friday when he recorded. ``I`m OK, lovely, everything fine``. #1 from
Thomas Podberg?, Connecticut, a listener for 40 years, visited
Istanbul in July. Halil has too but it`s too big and crowded, best
thing about it is going back to Ankara. #2 from Dublin, Mr Francis
Lovlor? - does he know that it`s a female if spelt Frances? H. says
some other time would tell the story of the Ottoman Empire sending
food to Ireland. #3 Siddartha ---, India. #4 Jayanta Chakroborthy
regular from New Delhi, report on 7275 at 0300, the N American
frequency off the back. #5 Christer Brunström, Sweden, long letter
about a couple of cases years ago where Turkish girls migrated to
Sweden went back and were killed by father and her meat fed to
siblings; or force-married off - suggested program topic. H. implies
this is rare in a multi-million country. H. has a daughter and her
life will be her own to live. #6 Jayanta again, something about
Mongolia - did he mix up his reception reports? I ask. #7 Mohamed
Shamin?, Kerala. #8 Massimo Marmonti again, Italy. 2239 time`s up, ``I
love all of you, happy weekend``. 2240 music. 2243 L`box outro. 2244 &
2248 more musix. 2253 headlines mostly about Israel/Gaza/Turkish woman

Something`s always awry at Ankara. Preview Energy Agenda, That`s Why,
music; and olds. 2215 ending 2-minute multi-lingual ID filler reel,
and `The Energy Agenda` strangely enough starting with Egyptian Pres.
Sisi`s first visit to Turkey in 12 years, and then about Israeli
genocide - what about energy?! ACI from 11780 Brasil unless USB
tuning. 2222 into UTwente when measured, S9+50 in music. 2224 `That`s
Why` about lithium as energy source. Then music after music, no
announcement between, at 2229, 2239, 2242, 2246, 2249. 2252 headlines.
2253 s/off of the 1230, only 6 notes of IS before chopoff at 2253.7*,
no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 13563+, Sept 9 at 0229, HIFER beacon AN is JBA --- first one
I have detected in many weeks on the ISM band due to prop, noise
level, or few operating? Despite bandscans at least once daily. LWCA

Yuma, even closer to SLRC. I have heard it before, July 2 at 0348

UNIDENTIFIED. 1330, Sept 9 at 0204 UT, ``Never Walk Alone`` song, 0205
segué to another of similar ilk, unseems KNSS Wichita KS which is
news/talk, our closest by far and on fringe of coverage area. Somewhat
better on E/W loop than N/S shortwire. Meant to get back to this for
further chex. Lots more 1330s in eastern US than in western. Suspect
someone on ND day power, maybe KCKM Monahans TX, C&W at least. Songs
could be on religious station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
