** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, continuing LRA36 log from last report,
Sat Oct 17 via Brasil SDR: signal improving, mostly music past 1843,
but off by 1915 recheck. Remember, next broadcast is supposed to be
Tuesday for anniversary, not Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOLIVIA [and non]. 3310, Oct 18 at 0106, JBA talk maybe in Quechua,
presumed Radio Mosoj Chaski, known to be active as only CP on 90m.

Signal is fading S4-S6, so not the local mix between KGWA and KCRC
which used to block it, 2 x 960 plus 1390 = 3310. These two have
surprisingly cleaned up from years past their harmonix and
intermodulations, not much on 2880 or 4170, still some 2780 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5122.5 approx., Oct 18 at 0042, spurblob I suspect out of
5040 RHC as previously logged, at 2 x 41+ kHz interval, while if any
around 5081 it`s blocked by 5085 WTWW sideband. First-order-minus
would be just below 5000 WWV but not detected there; however,
second-order-minus finds something about 4957.5 JBA with telltale F#
tone. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 4782.5 approx., Oct 18 at 0042, distorted spurblob
with enough music mod to make it // 4765 Radio Progreso. Then I look
for a minus-match and find approx. 4748.5 vs CODAR; but these are not
equally apart. Rather diffuse as I try to guesstimate their centers,
so make them about 4782 and 4748. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba.

BTW, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec in Brasil has been hearing Radio Huanta
Dos Mil, Perú on 4764 before Cuba starts by 0030. I`ve yet to catch
it; Aoki shows 0100*, EiBi 0200*, also *1047-1330, while Aoki shows
*1100 straight thru on original 4747; EiBi on 4747.6 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Oct 18 at 0053, RHC English is S9+35 but suptorted,
JBM, unlike // 6145. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7340-7345-7350, Oct 18 at 0055, Radio Martí DRM is missing,
just the jamming, while the bookend AM frequencies inboom above their
jammings on 7365 & 7335. DRM supposed to run until 0200. Subject is
advice to Cubans about CV-19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6945-USB, Oct 18 at 0032, soft rock music S9+20 from
some pirate, a frequency usually avoided due to ute circa 6942-3, but
not now, so no problem. 0038 quick Wolverine Radio ID. Lots of logs
here including playlist of ``Road`` songs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,73018.0.html
The one I heard must have been ``Long Promised Road`` by the Beach
Boys. Mr W must put a lot of work into his thematic shows (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 13, KETA 13 via Suddenlink cable in Enid has continued
defective sound of mono only, but during PBS `Nature` about cats, Oct
17 at 1939 UT, it suddenly blossoms into $ tereo! But for only two
minutes, 1941 back to mono also with a slight video glitch as if
deliberately switching source inputs. Shux (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. October 18 circa 0125 UT, further exploration of where to
find KAUT OKC in ATSC 1.0: on the rabbit-ears thru STB set, no 43-1;
but 43-2 CourtTV and 43-3 Escape/Mystery are on RF 24, which is KOKH
Fox ``25``! But 43-4 Cozi is on RF 33, which is KOKH`s sibling station
KOCB ``34``. Back on the broken roof level antenna thru a different
STB at 0310: the same for those three, but 43-1 KAUT is coming from RF
27 which is KFOR. What a jumble as repacking and ATSC 3.0 transition
proceeds (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 341-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0112 UT, ND beacon DIN, underneath
local EI Enid. DIN is 25 watts from Sherman-DenIsoN, Texas, just
across in Baja Oclajoma. Normally I hear OIN in Oberlin, Kansas,
instead. This is on different receiver and antenna than on my ~06 UT
beacon searches so maybe that explain it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2056 monitoring: Sat Oct 17 at 1945
midpoint, so started circa 1931 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville, MO,
good S9+10 via nearby Warrenton SDR.

NOT confirmed next broadcast, Sat Oct 17 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, because
it is OFF the air - no signal into Maine or UTwente. Still off at 0000
Oct 18 and at 0300: must be serious problem.

Also confirmed UT Sun Oct 18 at 0333 midpoint, on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,

** U S A. 5850, UT Sun Oct 18 at 0100-0200, WRMI with `Encore`
classical music hour, always very enjoyable and so strong on this
airing that the PL-880 portable with telescopic is plenty to hear it
clearly. Does fade a bit toward the end (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Oct 18 at 0037, WTWW-2 with `TOUTA` underway,
S9+40/50 but distorted, so no listening without a webcast handy. With
BFO I also notice a slight wobble in the carrier frequency, bad
symptom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5056.85 & 5043.15 approx., Oct 18 at 0040, matching weak
spurblobs out of 5050 WWRB again vs splash from the center (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9385, Oct 18 at 0103, no signal from WEWN English, while
Spanish remains on 5970 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 18 at 0105, WRNO has just come on at S9+35 but
undermodulating its screaming gospel huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7766.5-USB, Oct 18 at 0058, 2- or multi-way contacts; I

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB: Once again LRA36 operations bear little
resemblance to their own advance publicity. So we are not expecting
them this Saturday, but checked anyway at 1733 October 17, there they
are in Spanish conversation, via a remote in Brasil, VP S2-S3. 1739
into a brief song, back to more chat. 1755 another song. 1800 ID.

Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, had informed us Oct 16: ``ANTARCTICA,
15476 USB, LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel, Base
Esperanza. According with a whatsapp received from the station
operator, the next LRA 36 transmission will be the Tuesday 20th of
October, day of the 41th anniversary of the station. The program will
start at 1300 UTC, one hour earlier than usual. I suppose there will
be a special eQSL commemorating this anniversary transmission.

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Oct 17 at 1356: 14900 JBA carrier; 13920
music S7; 12550 & 12500 JBACs; 11100 timesignal until 1400*. No others
found WOOB and too late to explore further down (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 17 at 0156, anonymous mystery missionary
station, with gospel huxter in Spanish S9/+5 via TWR Bonaire SDR; also
at 0350 at S9+5/10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 5800, UT Sat Oct 17 at 0300, I haven`t rechecked
WRMI-10 in quite a while since discovering the surprise new Radio
República transmission instead of via France, [which is still VG on
9490 before 0300] on UT Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon, which is *still secret*, only
blank spaces on System H program grid [but with `Viva Miami` intruding
at 0300-0330 on UT Sun & Mon.]

Yes, there it is at S9+20/30 opening `Alternativa` program announced
as ``Radio Martí y Radio República se unen para presentarles
Alternativa``, subject being Chile. First I know of those two
anti-Castroism stations joining programming. However, not simulcast,
something else now on RM 6030 (Glenn Hauser)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 19, Oct 17 after 0200 UT, my ATSC 1.0 converter box
still displays no signal from KAUT ``Freedom 43`` which is allegedly
still on there having changed to ATSC 3.0 system. So again I go
looking for it elsewhere.

The STB still remembers when KAUT RF channel was 40, before 19, with
duplicate 43+s. But might as well delete the 40s. Now it *does*
display the four KAUT channels with PSIP IDs:
43-1 KAUT-DT
43-2 Court
43-3 Escape
43-4 Cozi
And on the STB one can tell the real RF channel for these is 27! Which
is really KFOR, which has its own four virtual channels if you start
out with channel 4.

My Sanyo TV however, will not tell you what RF channels it is really
getting, and for some strange reason does display 43-4, 43-3, 43-2 but
NOT KAUT itself on 43-1! Go figure.

BTW, KAUT call memorializes Gene Autry, original owner. A tech school
in Enid is named for another Autry (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2056 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday October 17 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, VP S7-S9 here; at 0154 check
via UTwente, good S9/+10.

Also confirmed Sat Oct 17 at 1144 the 1130 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+20 and
no jamming audible.

Almost confirmed Sat Oct 17 at 1315 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA

scheduled `Beacon of Truth` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (Area 51 WBCQ webcast), UT Sat Oct 17 from 0000, `AAAWWW`,
usual WTO theme, opening fiddling with mikes and lauding Angela; 0008
interrupted by call from annoying Freddie; discussing AM stereo; 0014
says closing down phone line because this is an important program,
most of which consists at spot chex of AW reading long piece and
commenting on the 100th anniversary of broadcasting, as in KDKA, on
November 2; by 0049 he says WBCQ 7490 & 6160 will have special
commemorative programming on that (local) date vaguely at 8-9-10 pm,
which will then be EST of UT -5. 0052 to e-mails, but explains that
last Saturday there was a lightning strike against amplifiers,
transmitters, tower lites, etc., against the 400` AM 780 tower, also
damaging satellite receiver, LNB; but Tom, Jeff and Jason worked hard
on repairing things. Station has no insurance and limited funds.
Fortunately the Super-station was not affected. 0059 closing prayer
thanking God for triodes and other stuff. After 0100 this webcast goes
into stereo music while Hal Turner presumably occupies the 7490.

Hope John Carver is doing OK if not his computer as we have not heard
from him in a few weeks with his AAAWWW summaries.

Meanwhile, the zappahead website says:

At my place I had full power from the transmitter; and because I was
up in the middle of the night, I wanted to check reception in the U.S.
and found only traces of the carrier. You can't expect reception in
Twente (700 km distance) when the skip zone is 5.000 km; no reception
in Europe at all. Might get worse in the winter, maybe you choose a
different frequency.

Doug Smith, W9WI, replies Oct 16 on the WTFDA gg:

``LPTV stations are allowed to continue above RF-37 until July 13th,
2021 IF they don't interfere with land-mobile operations.

A quick check of the FCC DB shows approximately 180 digital LPs and
200 analogs still authorized to operate in channels 38-51. Some of
these are probably actually operating below channel 38 under program
test authority or Special Temporary Authority (for example, KQCT-LP in
the Quad Cities, which is still licensed on channel 61 but has a CP
for 32 and is operating there.)

I would keep scanning above 37. There isn't much left up there, but as
a result there isn't much interference (at least, as long as you're
not surrounded by T-Mobile 5G)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800, Oct 16 at 0218, surprised to hear YL in
Japanese, not Chinese of Korean; but no longer surprised when after
song at 0220 switches at 0221 to Brazuguese, from RAE. Relays via WRMI
are still multi-lingual from homes, whatever the nominal language hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ASCENSION. 7305, Oct 16 at 0629, one B-B-C chime sequence and
opening with drumming in presumed Hausa as scheduled until 0700, 125
kW, 55 degrees; very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6135.083, Oct 16 at 0638, soft music at S5-S7, presumed
always off-frequency R. Aparecida; and with splash from 6145 RHC where
something is always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 16 at 0622, RHC English carrier is still on at
S9+20 with maybe trace of modulation. Turnoff time of this varies
widely, with or without programming. Ron Howard says my JBA carrier on
5040 would not have been Vanuatu, still on 3945 + harmonix of that
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6008-6052 range, Oct 16 at 0632, pulse jamming splattering
out of full bore on 6030 despite OCB being off after 0400 for months,
tnx to the incompetent and wasteful Jamming Command where something is
always beyond wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Oct 16 at 1419, RHC missing, while 15230 is still on
at S8 but just barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9v, Oct 16 at 0630, VON AWOL again (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** PALAU. 9900, Oct 16 at 0934, no signal from revived T8WH test as I
was told planned, when I briefly awaken; but numerous other awakees
were getting it with definite IDs after 0800 on 9930 instead, and with
CNR1 jamming apparently already there vs Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293-MCW kHz, Oct 16 at 0643 UT, common FBY, 25 watts from
Faribury, Nebraska, with QRM from another NDB at same pitch, hard to
separate, until their slighty different periods unoverlap them, UI:
which is 30 watts from QUIncy, Illinois, where they pronounce it
Quinsy instead of Quinzy as in Mass. Just in time before UI fades out
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

for some hum, S9+40. TOMBS still on 3215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 16 at 0236, WRNO is back on after missing some
nights, but only S5-S9 and JBM music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4905, Oct 16 at 0624, RTTY again here with CODAR QRM,
not on 4985, presumed another jump by NSS. Earlier in evening, no RTTY
on any of 4895, 4905 or 4985 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9900, Oct 16 at 1414, two weak signals slightly apart
making LAH, presumed ChiCom jamming and RFA Tibetan via Kuwait as
scheduled this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9955, Oct 16 at 1414, weak talk with flutter, presumably
RFA Burmese via TAJIKISTAN at 1330-1430, as per Aoki/NDXC; rather than
WRMI which sometimes runs past 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
