** FRANCE. 21640+, Nov 14 at 1546, JBA carrier direct, presumably
MiniTransAt sailboat race still underway from Canarias to Guadeloupe.
Had not checked for it since Nov 6, over a week. Signature
off-frequency. The other Issouduns at this hour are much stronger with
modulation, 21485 and 21690. The 15-16 bilingual weather and race info
hour on 21640 should be over at latest by Nov 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1520, Nov 14 at 0746, KOKC OKC seems stronger than usual,
S9+45/35 direct in talk. Paul Walker heard that it had finally resumed
50 kW direxional westward at night. For years was on STA 12 kW ND
after antenna damage. Back in the glory days as KOMA with rock, was a
powerhouse in western N America, and of course on to Down Under. Now
there is QRM from a music understation, I wonder what. Even with DA-N
we are not getting the full brunt of it thisaway to the NNW (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Nov 14 at 2300, VOT English not off the
air, S9+20/30 between line noise bursts. Measured at 2351 via UTwente,
S9+35/40. 2352 s/off mangled with usual wrong time schedule by
ignorant clueless announcer; IS briefly and off before 2355*
uncovering the CCCCCCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2216 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees,

(Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard``

Confirmed UT Tuesday November 14 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/15 into
Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday November 14 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/S6 into
Missouri SDR with usual noise blast QRM first 14 seconds and
sporadically later.

Or via PayPal not necessarily in US funds to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.21 approx., Nov 14 at 0756, WBCQ with S9+10 of dead air
instead of T**** or TOMBS; 7490- programming had been moved here but
would be off the air anyway long before this hour.

7490- is back on Nov 14 at 2259 after a few days AWOL, S9+20 and still
off-frequency-minus.

5130.2, Nov 14 at 2307 is too weak direct and vs line noise level, but
probably back to T**** cultism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4941.00, Nov 14 at 2304, S9+10 open carrier, then off. No
sign of 4940 Venezombia unless this were it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5050, Nov 14 at 2306, JBA carrier, surely too weak to be
WRMI, not sked anyway until *0200. Possibly Beibu Bay Radio, China
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Lots of 2-way activity below the official CB, Nov 14 at
2309-2318:

25985-LSB, maybe Brasuguese, autobeeps at cambios
26320-FM, music at first but not a studio link, switch to 2-way talk,
lang?
26375-LSB, lots of Spanish? 2-way upward from here
26555-LSB, pileup of Spanish and?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9985, Nov 13 at 0728, VP signal with talk, music, not
noticed before. EiBi shows it`s merely a CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 6085-6090-6095, Nov 12 at
0745, DRM noise S6. Nothing listed, but clues: Nov 11 HFCC shows
FRANCE testing DRM at other hours:...``

``I can confirm this is TDF - I received it here in NZ last night. Any
other details unknown. TDF seem to consider their DRM test schedule a
closely guarded state secret.``

As for Russia DRM on any frequency: ``These haven't been reported for
years. Purga in DRM was never regular anyway, normally just popping up
for a few days around the change of broadcast seasons on a selection
of frequencies totally unrelated to any registrations. I've seen no
sign of them this time on any SDRs around the place. Cheers, Chris --
Chris Mackerell, Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, Marahau, RD2, Motueka 7197,
New Zealand chris@owdjim.gen.nz`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Nov 12 at 2338, S9/+10 pirate seems a
novelty song. 2341 echoey unreadable announcement. Many logs here as
WENO Shortwave:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,121132.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Nov 13 at 2300, token English from SNR, correct
timesignal unlike Turkey; news mainly about new government compromise
in Spain. 2307 feature is interview with co-authors of ``Why Empires
Fall`` just published in Spanish version; VG direct (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 12 at 2335 check, VOT is not off the air, VP talk
direct.

5960.005, Nov 13 at 2259, not off the air with timesignal about 15
seconds early, usual sign-on with English schedule, local times
mislabeled UTC. Something`s always awry at Ankara. At S9/+10 direct
might have been sufficient were it not for OG&E linenoise bursts
hitting S9+30/40. Later via UTwente at 2336, S9+25/35 `New Day, New
Choices` until 2338 music; 2343 `always-by-your-side` promo; 2344 `Did
You Know That` angora rabbits are from Ankara? music; 2352 s/off again
with times wrongly; 2354 IS starts; 2355* off revealing the CCCCCCI
understation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28202 CW, Nov 12 at 2320, EEEEEEEEEE DE WA7JYK/B, among lots
of 10m beacons beeping, I pick one. WI5V list: ``28.2020 WA7JYK C
Joseph, Oregon 10w 43'vertical formerly WB7EUX. 23 JUL 2023`` ---
QRZ.com:
``WA7JYK USA flag USA, TOM S BINGHAM, 406 E Third St, PO BOX 368,
JOSEPH, OR 97846, USA --- I changed my callsign from WB7EUX to WA7JYK
effective per FCC 7/11/23. WA7JYK is the original General Class call I
had when in high school back a LONG time ago. Beacon at 28.202.
Activated 12/3/2022. Please send me a signal report. 73!`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28216.5 CW, Nov 13 at 2306, dash and ID, N7MA call repeated
but not copied full loop; heard before. Per WI5V: ``28.2165 N7MA C
ROSE LAKE, IDAHO # 5W, VERTICAL New 23 December 09``. Seemed closer
to 28217.0 to me but not measured (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 35790, Nov 13 at 2317, intriguing JBA carrier again,
probably from R. Martí 3 X 11930 as discovered by Don Moman. Sporadic
E should audiblize it here eventually. Meanwhile we should also look
for other 3rd harmonix from Grimesland. Checking total spans of all
``GB`` 11 MHz channels in HFCC:

35160 = 3 X 11720, 2100-2200 only, VOA music
35580 = 3 X 11860, 1500-2300 RM
35640 = 3 X 11880, 0100-0200 only, Korea in Spanish
35790 = 3 X 11930, 1400-0100 RM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2216 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
November 12 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10 into
nearby Noale SDR, this time with NO QRM: can only assume the Romanian
station extends a different schedule on Sundays than Fridays.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 13 at 0040 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S5/S7 into NH SDR way offbeam, with constant QlickRM, OTH radar?

Also confirmed UT Monday November 13 from 0400 sharp after JL gotta go
on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 -67 Hz = 6159.933, S7/S9 into NH SDR. Next:

0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW [irregular?]

** U S A. 7489.9v, Nov 12 at 2310, this WBCQ is still AWOL for the
second day. Is on, weak 5130.357, S9+10 direct but VP vs noise level,
music, not T****, must be `Ginga Brasil`, since this is the second
Sunday. And next hour, `Le Show` with Harry Shearer has also moved,
0026 UT Mon Nov 13 into NH SDR measures 5130.346. Is there anything
about this on the WBCQ homepage? NO. Has AW twitted about it? I am not
about to sign up for disgraced X in order to access him; but will
accept second-hand info from those who are in/on it.

BTW, last night UT Sun when criminal T**** was replaced by more or
less ``liberal`` J P Ferraro on WBCQ 5130+, his cultists must have
been shocked by the sudden change. Hey, it`s all about Free Speech!
And keeping the ``7490`` primary program stream running, somewhere.
Altho Angela/T**** was not webcast, 7490-via-5130 is.

7490- still off the air Nov 13 at 2317 but 5130.293 is on at 2320, VP
direct, doesn`t sound like T**** and presumably still with `7490`
programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Nov 12 at 2326, WTWW back on air tonight, missing last
night; gospel huxter at S9+40/50 direct. He`s trying to relate the
space shuttle Columbia to Obadiah IV if he can find it. It`s PPPP,
from shortly after the disaster of Feb 1, 2003, over a bidecade ago.
Who cares now what he said then about it? Who cared, then? But
curious, I uplook the quotation in KJVish: ``Though thou exalt thyself
as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence
will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.`` Ah, so God is against space
travel! Serves `em right! The Continental guy has also revived the JBA
spurcarriers about 5072.1 and 5097.9.

5085, Nov 13 at 2319, WTWW on air again with passé Pastor Pete Peters,
S9+10/30 direct. Did not notice 9475 back earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. Remember Radio Sohl, the American psyops station
for Afghanistan? Closed down almost a sesquidecade ago at the end of
2008y.
Played some great Bollywood songs, over and over, and this is a
version of one of them + video, Chunnari Chunnari. R.I.P. Radio Sohl.
Enjoy:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2216 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday November 12 at 0100 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR; no
signal into Vilhenha Brasil SDR where it`s aimed.

Also confirmed UT Sunday November 12 at 0540 about 11 minutes into so
started way later than nominal 0415, circa 0529 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO. Previous ham shows running long, but this time WOR not shifted

** U S A. 5130.356, Nov 12 at 0424, surprise, on WBCQ, Radio T**** has
been replaced by J.P. Ferraro on `SW Saturday Night` which is supposed
to be on 7490 - but NO signal there. Must have crashed, so programming
moved to 5130+ while 6160- continues with something else. At 0459
brought up 7490 webcast a bit too late while playing ``Dixie``, and I
think ID by JPF before switch to another canned TimTron ID and into
TOMBS, still pre-empting T****! Frequency as above measured at 0509
into Maryland SDR; at first I estimated it at 5130.34; had been
5130.2+ below 5130.3, never .0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Nov 12 at 0009, 0304 chex, no signal from WTWW, off
the air again after resuming last night. Nor on 9475 Sunday morning
churchgoin time circa 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6085-6090-6095, Nov 12 at 0745, DRM noise S6. Nothing
listed, but clues: Nov 11 HFCC shows FRANCE testing DRM at other
hours:

6090 1700 1800 27SE,28SW,37NE ISS 100 148 0 146 1234567 291023 300324

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 11 tune-in at 1800 via
Argentine remote, LRA36 presumably just started, with music, S6/S7.
Constant noise level of S5/S6 at the SDR always makes this tiresome
listening tho more or less readable. A carrier would help to overcome
it. Did not try to detect and reconfirm at least a much-reduced
carrier. Too much else going on now, so only occasional chex: 1842,
``comunicad`` contact info, 1843 acknowledging report de México. 1918
outro ``Noticias Australes``. 1949 brief mention of ``despedida`` and
off way early, no signal on further random chex -- until 2106, now
it`s back on, talk over musical background; still at 2120. Not checked
again till 2335 when it`s off, but?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ASCENSION. 6135, Nov 11 at 0554, African talk mentions Gaza,
Nigeria, S9: BBC Hausa at 0529-0600 only per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4985, Nov 11 at 2320, surprised to hear some Brazuguese
instead of a JBA carrier at best, typically later at night, from R.
Brasil Central, Goiânia. Blocked by RTTY on the plus side, but clear
if tuning LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9415, Nov 11 at 2324, surprisingly strong Vietnamese,
S9+10/20 and much louder than WRMI, WBCQ; into song like a hymn but
can`t be since this is CRI Viet service from Beijing site; toward SE
Asia, must be close to off-the-backward thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Nov 11 at 2319, R. Rebelde is not off the air as was
the case last night. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, Nov 11 at 0555, JBA music; could
Ballsmacker Radio still be on this Friday night? Yes, until 0600*:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,120962.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 25695 USB, Nov 11 at 1839, heavy rock music, tnx to
tip from Walt Salmaniw on the WOR iog that MRI is here, i.e. Mix Radio
International. I`m getting it direct at S6, presumably sporadic E from
the Chicago area, but listen further for convenience via Alberta SDR
where Don Moman is also hearing it. Lots of heavily produced
promos/IDs, but I wish they would Mix in some other music genres like
world, folk or classical. 1857, ``Mix Radio International Worldwide``,
then played newer version of ``Venus``, then ``Eternal Flame`` by
Bangles. 1904 ID ``Broadcasting from the United States of America...``
1934 ``Best of shortwave radio, Mix Radio International``. Still going
at 2042, 2106, 2120 chex. Not checked again until 2316 direct,
unheard, nor at 2335 to Alberta. More reports of MRI on 11 mb:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 11 at 2317, VOT is not off, S9+20 direct but vs
intermittent line noise blasts to S9+40! Something about caving. Want
to get stuck like that last spelunker? Then 5960.006 at 2337 via
UTwente, S9+30/40, music with good modulation. 2351 s/off with wrong
labeling of times as UTC but they are really local UT+3; at least this
5960 gets mentioned as ``02-03 UTC``; this is by the otherwise
well-spoken YL, not the badax. Then IS for a while and chopoff* before
2356 when it would have restarted with German IDs; something`s always
awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K Q O G B A N I. 25900, Nov 11 at 1631, BBC English JBA S6/S7
direct in daily bihour toward S Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2216 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday November 11 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S7/S5 into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday November 11 at 1630 on WRMI 15770. Tuned in
direct at 1629, No signal! But pops on just in time for WOR, poor
S7/S8. Then into UTwente, European target area, it`s only S7/S5. But
Maine SDR on the way has it well, S9+20/15. Alberta SDR at 1641
getting it sufficiently, S6/S8, even tho off the side of NE beam, so
this should be usable in much of North America beyond the skip zone. I
kept it running at least in background to be sure there were no
further breaks.

Also confirmed Saturday November 11 at 1700 on WRN North America
webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday November 11 at 2028 about 2 minutes into so
started circa 2026 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+13 into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday November 11 at 2030 on WRMI webcast-only, and

** U S A. 5085, Nov 11 at 0247, WTWW is finally back on air, as George
McClintock just notified me, after the 3-day visit by a Continental
engineer. Ex-bishop Bob Biermann pontificating, VG direct and S9+18/25
into Missouri SDR. Off somewhere around 0500. Check 9475 next in
daytime, at least afternoons. If he fixed two transmitters could also
simul-be on other ex-frequencies. 9475 not heard Nov 11, nor 5085 on
by 2419 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING

Kiss It Goodbye: What If We Send a Paranoid-Psychopath back to the
White House in 2024? -- Frogs Boiled: What Trump is Planning for a
Second Term

Last night Democrats saw what happens when they run on the issues.
When they run on who they are, instead of running away from it, they
win. Now Democrats need to take on an issue many would rather avoid:
Donald Trump and the future of democracy if he’s re-elected...

** CHINA. 10000, Nov 11 at 0058, checking calibration of the NH
KiwiSDR, timepips neither WWV nor WWVH but almost in synch with them
way under. What`s this? 0059, BPM ID multiple times in Morse code, and
two voice announcements in Chinese just before 0100. WRTH shows
location Pucheng, not Beijing, 24h with 20 kW, also on 2500, 5000,
15000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA [and non]. 5910, Nov 10 at 0432, S9+40/50 of dead air with
some hum. Oh2, CRI relay via CUBA at 03-05 is back here for B-season,
ex-9790, obliterating Colombia`s only? SW station, Alcaraván Radio,
during a bihour of primetime. How rude. But it`s JBA underneath as
long as no mod from C/C, and slightly better with LSB tuning since
it`s more like 5909.96 - no het
audible. HJDH would be better off on 6010, but not completely; altho
6010 has Brasil, but NOT XEOI which Aoki still lists despite gone for
multiple years!

HFCC shows CRI 250 kW at 305 degrees thisaway in Eng and Yue, in
B-season use for many years; only other 5910 is !IRDR! = standby but
no disaster has ever? occurred meriting activation for relief! on this
or any other reserved frequency in each band. Available 24/7 to all 85
CIRAF zones, placeholder SMG Vatican site with 100 kW (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5800, Nov 10 at 0431, pulse jamming vs nothing. WRMI ruined
this frequency forever by briefly putting R. República on it several
months ago. WRMI hours are now 22-04 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 10 at 0433, RHC with S9+30/40 of dead air except
maybe a trace of modulation. Nothing audible on X2 = 12000.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Nov 10 at 2117, R. Cairo at S9/+10 direct but JBM
music. By 2133 a bit better into Italian SDR, S9+20/30 in distorted
English, about ``around the world``. Something`s egregious in Egypt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 6150, Nov 10 at 0434, Japanese, S9+20/30, mentions
``NHK`` pronounced as in English since JJ has no letters! HFCC shows
03-05, 250 kW, 140 degrees from Issoudun, FRANCE toward CIRAFs 37-39 =
Spain, across N Africa to Arabia and Turkey.

Stays on 6105 in Japanese at 02-04 via ISS at 290 degrees for CIRAFs
10-11, Mexico, C America, Caribbean but also hitting much of N
America. So, are there more Japanese speakers with SW in those zones
than English further north? Hardly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Nov 10 at 0438 UT, ND beacon SW is JBA. Sad
situation when this nearby Stillwater becomes DX vs OG&E`s line noise
level, worst on LW but extending to 25+ MHz. Four days later I am
still waiting for any response to my latest complaint Nov 6 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 10 at 2300, VG direct, token English from SNR,
still opens with B23 schedule but no language details, inviting
listener contact, no news and soon interview about a 300-piece art
exhibition from the Americas, Alaska to the southern tip; but sorely
lacking any visual content, this being SW, unlike lots of pirates, or
Radiograms, which manage somehow (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002, Nov 10 at 2300, VOT is JBA to DX-398 portable but
at 2323, S9+20/30 into R75, something about Gaza; 2355 IS playing,
S9+25/35 into UTwente where measured; 2356 restart IS with IDs in
German; 2400 timesignal and s/on extraneous German, news until chopoff
at 2413* again, uncovering the CCCCCCI which was always an
understation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 FM, Nov 10 at 1625 UT, KMK282 at KOVR/KMAX fades up
briefly in report about prospects for ski areas opening; never
reaching full quieting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2216 monitoring: add (Tunisia) to
contents. Confirmed Friday November 10 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1323 kHz only, still not on 918 or 207, ever? S9+10/20 into
nearby Noale SDR but with considerable pop music CCI. Certainly not
Iran nor 30 watts in UK, per MWlist leaving only this on extended
schedule; unless an unlisted pirate, unlikely:

** U S A. 7490 = 74 Hz = 7489.926, UT Sat Nov 11 at 0100, WBCQ opening
`AAAWWW`, but VP S4/S6 into New Hampshire SDR I have picked; and NOT
// 5130+ which stays with T****, and 6160- which stays with some
gospel huxter, and 3265+ not on the air; and 9330.00 stays of course
with the flat-earthers. So to really hear AAAWWW one must bring up the
webcast quickly - soon recognizing that it`s playback of last week,
pre-time-change, 68 degrees and Angela is ``half-naked`` as Allan
strives to make his listeners envious. Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 711 kHz, Nov 10 at 0439, JBA carrier, no doubt Morocco`s
in occupied WESTERN SAHARA. Cursory check of 531-1044 kHz finds only
this TA, no Algerians 531 or 891, no Spaniards on 684, 774, 1044
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
