** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 31 at 1457-1558, periodic chex via
Brasil SDR find no signal from LRA36, despite having told Manuel
Méndez that their ``final`` broadcast of 2020y on Oct 28 would be
played back today starting at 1500. So then I go looking for Marconi
Radio International: see EUROPE. However, rechecking for RNASG at 1614
finds it has now come on, an hour late, at S5-S7; 1735 talking about
the pandemia; 1907 still on at S8-S9, ``ésta es una experiencia
inolvidable``, presumably wintering in Antarctica; reading several
greetings from listeners, or family? Altho quite a readable signal
now, just barely visible on the waterfall, less even than 15190
Inconfidência, much less than 15580 & 15730 VOA; 1910 song; 1911 IDs
in Spanish, German, English (that it`s in Spanish), and another,
sounds Korean but not a RAE language, on `Corazón Antártico` show..
2010 recheck still going with greetings; 2038 music; still past 2100.
Concludes at 2133-2137* with ``Antártida`` theme song and off without
further sign-off. Hard to copy lyrix but includes ``hielo, hielo, y
más hielo``. I recorded it and maybe will play it on WOR sometime? I
also go searching for it. There are two or three Antártida songs in
Spanish, but none match this one. Now may we say hasta luego, hasta el
otoño sur? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. 7720-USB, Oct 31 at *1559, Marconi Radio National comes on
for publicized 16-17 broadcast, VP S5-S6 via UTwente, first with IS
and IDs; 1601 YL gives address in English; then in Italian, German,
French; 1602 some music, 1605 Italian talk and I suspect the rest of
show will be in that language, anyhow too weak. Back to Antarctica
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUINEA. 9650, Oct 31 at 0614, hilife music and French talk, S4-S5,
presumed Conakry as recently reactivated. Have not heard them at later
dayparts nor seen many other reports, so wonder if active mornings
only. Manuel Méndez, Spain, who discovered them back Oct 27 until at
least 0905, says they cut off at 0737 Oct 28. Dave Kenny replied on
the WOR iog, ``Great to have Guinea back on SW. I first noted it back
on 9650 kHz at 1710 tune-in on Friday 23rd October, during the recent
Sheigra [Scotland] DXpedition``. Beware of North Korea on 9650, but
per Arnulf does not start until 0730, all in Japanese until 1317v and
also 2130-2417v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Oct 31 at 2357, SFX, 2358 countdown, Nov 1
at 0007 frenetic; 0042 still going but weaker. These say it`s Radio
48:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,73666.0.html
It has been the only station audible here on this pirate band, despite
lots of others reported at HFU, as expected for Hallowe`en. In fact
Chris Gay in KY told the WOR iog he was getting 5 pirates in the 6900s
before 2130. This further reinforces my conclusion that the great
majority of these pirates are well east of the Mississippi, and for
some reason few of them like to run late into the night when
propagation further west might be better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 31 by 1600 UT, KUCO has solved its fibre-optic
feed problem and is back on air modulating as well as webcasting, in
time for `The Score`, one of my favorites, cinemusic. Perhaps they
should consider a backup setup, like a plain old 900-MHz STL
transmitter. Webcasting should not have been interrupted either (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SLOVENIA. 18130-USB, Oct 31 at 1450, S51DX calling QRZ and CQ:
per https://www.qrz.com/lookup/s51dx
``S51DX Slovenia flag Slovenia, JANEZ CELARC, Susnikova cesta 9, 1360
VRHNIKA, Slovenia`` --- Also refers us to his own:
http://www.qsl.net/s51dx/index.html
Not much else on ``17`` m. Call seems familiar. Yes! I had logged him
in *2014y* on 10m: ``SLOVENIA. 28505.6-USB, March 28 at 1434, QRZ and
CQ from S51DX, almost-American accent...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2058 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
October 31 at 1317 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, VP S7-S8.

Also confirmed Sat Oct 31 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, good S8/S9+10 via

6159.92v, Nov 1 at 0200 via Virginia SDR, Area 51 starting Hallowe`en
special from Texas Radio Shortwave via WBCQ, S9+10/20 and -78v Hz
carrier offset from 6160.000. Mostly unfamiliar spooky music, with a
few synthetic YL announcements; 0202 song ``Queen of Hallowe`en``;
0207 a scream; 0216 QSL offer, or ``you may get nothing since it`s
Hallowe`en``; 0225 bell tolls, etc. 0259 ending with Bach. Tnx for the

** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0620 UT, my shortened and lowered
unrepaired longwire still manages to inpull dash and YLD, which is
1000 watt ND beacon from Chapleau, Ontario.

Also 413-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0624, dash and YHD, 250 watts in Dryden,
Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA

** CUBA. 18135-USB, Oct 30 at 2014, CO8LY repeating his call
fonetikaly, lima-yanqui --- ooooh! over and over; at least I think it
was the caller rather than the callee; and the only phone station on
band, OPSOB.

``CO8LY Cuba flag Cuba, Eduardo Somoano Cremati, P.O. Box 104,
Santiago de Cuba 90100, Cuba`` per QRZ.com but his QSL manager is in
Spain, and he`s trying to raise real US$ money to pay for awards he
has earned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 17570, Oct 30 at 2016, VP S9-S6 talk in unknown
language, 2028 open carrier, 2030* off. HFCC shows it`s AWR in Mos
language, 250 kW at 295 degrees favorably USward. WRTH shows it is
Mossi, where else, under UK page 496; EiBi readme.txt does not include
either spelling in exhaustive language list! Wikipedia says it`s the
same as Moore + various spellings, which is; almost 8 mega speak it in
Burkina Faso and five nearby countries. And they are on the road to SD
Adventism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4970-USB, Oct 31 at 0153, JBA pirate S3 into
Rochester NY SDR, eerie music and narration, I guess a Hallowe`en
story as pre-publicized by MARE to start at 0030 for some two hours
from Radio Nova; did not get an ID for sure; fading down after 0203.

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 30 circa 1455 UT, still no signal except weak
unmodulated carrier from classical KUCO, Edmond/OKC. Shortly restored
my internet access, I can find why on http://www.kucofm.com

``KUCO EMERGENCY STATEMENT 10/30/20 UPDATE

Listener supporters and friends, KUCO 90.1 continues to be off in
central Oklahoma, the outage including our internet stream. It’s a
fiber optic cable problem and we await restoration from Cox. It’s how
we send our signal STL back to the tower from our new location in
downtown OKC. The fiber optic is our only option at this time.

Cox Business Ice Storm Outage Update

The Cox Business commercial technical support team is presently
working to restore operations to affected areas of the ice storm. They
are responding to critical medical and public safety restoration
priorities and then additional commercial service impacts. Service
outages are primarily due to power outages and ice damage. For power
related outages, Cox follows the local energy provider in its recovery
as it enters damaged areas once the energy company as declared it safe
of power hazards.

We are currently offering our overnight WCPE service via 91.9 KBCW in
McAlester and 95.9 KCSC in Woodward. We will keep you posted. Hosts
stand ready to go back on the air immediately and we will have our
weekend programming running for all three listening areas as well.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid,

** U S A [and non]. 332-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0621, ND beacon IC, 400
watts from Wichita - Picnic, Kansas [both with IC in them!], which I
had not heard in weeks and feared off the air. Even now it`s JBA under
dash and QT, 1000 watts from Thunder Bay, Ontario, which had been the
only 332 to be heard among many (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Fri Oct 30 at 2050, big carrier already from VOA
Grimesland, 2059 sign-on, 2100 news by caster working remotely but
including an AP axuality; 2105 `Music Time in Africa`, as I
commemorate our renewed B-season bigsig access to it weekly off the
back from `Greenville`. It`s my napping hour, so despite the lively
music I doze in and out. Hyper Heather Maxwell spends too much time
chatting with musicians rather than just playing their music; and also
disrespects music by talking over it; source countries include
Mozambique, Rhodesia, Angola. Also plays old stuff from previous
hostess Rita Rochelle. Mid break mentions MTIA airtimes lacking this
one; and HHM`s outro as usual ignores it too, just: ``Live`` Saturday
and Sunday 1505 and 2005; also on SW Friday 0905, S&S 0905, 1505, 2005
and ``2205-hundred``. 2200 cut to Yankee Doodle sign-off but carrier
stays on a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (6160v), UT Sat Oct 31, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`. Starts
taking about following the live Youtubecast last Saturday morning of
the SAQ Alexanderson Alternator from Sweden, which I also reported
about. 0012 says on 7490 and 6160 tonight. 0030 about how in early
broadcasting, carbon mikes were hooked directly into transmitters, or
something like that; rest of show mostly politix about YKW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6905.93-RCUSB, Oct 31 at 0342, ROCV only a trace to the
ear and thinnest of lines on the TWR Bonaire SDR waterfall. Leonardo
Santiago in Venezuela meanwhile sends me this info:

``Hi Glenn, On the 29th of October I was listening to this new
Venezuelan radio station here in Mérida on 6.906 kHz about 21.30 to
22.15 UTC. They were broadcasting tropical music at most and airing
some IDs and contact information from time to time.

You can e-mail them to: rocv6906(at)gmail(dot)com

They also announced a couple of phone numbers which I guess work to
contact them via WhatsApp. I have recorded one of the IDs, so when I
listen to that I will send you both numbers for you and those who want
to contact ROCV via WhatsApp/phone as well.

I have also contacted Mr. Gregorio “Kina” who is in charge of ROCV
facilities and asked him if they will verify reception reports with
QSL cards. He just replied by saying “send your report to our gmail
account for confirmation”, so I still don’t know what kind of
confirmation he has referred to if QSL card, eQSL or kind of simple
e-mail verification. 73s, Leonardo Santiago, Mérida, Venezuela.``

[later:] ``Hi Glenn. As promised, here you have full contact
information for Radio Onda Corta Venezuela, ROCV, as announced by
themselves on their broadcasts:

You can e-mail them to: rocv6906(at)gmail(dot)com
Phone numbers: +58-424-8528414 and +58-416-3215947

I have just e-mail them my reception report this morning, so I will

NOTE! Apparently due to icestorm in Enid, internet and cable access
was lost Wed Oct 28 at 1610 UT, and still not restored almost 48
hours later. I am attempting to get online at library ASAP on Fri Oct
30. At least we did not lose power at home like so many others.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 28 at 1524, LRA36 is on the air for
final day of the 2020y winter season as previously publicized; S4-S7
via Brasil KiwiSDR, mostly chat by W&W, bits of music and canned IDs
such as at 1530 for ``Nacional -- la radio pública``. Some mentions of
Antártida along with Argentina; past 1546. At 1557 I really
concentrate, trying to understand what they are colloquially charlando.
1559 a song, 1602 ID and song, and they mention ``último programa --
miércoles``.

Nominally ending at 1600 but always running overtime, still going at
1610 when I suddenly lose Suddenlink internet, as well as cable, and
it`s still off 3 hours later, no doubt to be blamed on the OK icestorm.
SL robot tells me they hope to have it repaired by =20 UT. Nope. Then
=24 UT: nope. At 01 UT Oct 29 I call again: now it`s ASAP. Meanwhile my
datamining in preparation for next WOR 2058 has ground to a halt.

Manuel Méndez previously forwarded the latest notice he received from
Base Esperanza which I transcribe from jpg. Note names of staff. Next
winter`s crew could be partially or totally different, resuming in
February or March? I would rather spend a summer in Antarctica than a
winter, but that`s just me.

reports (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

{late news from Mendez: ``final`` broadcast will be repeated Sat Oct 31}

** CUBA. 13700 & 13740, Oct 28 at 1506, RHC is running late with a
speech, live event? No doubt by some Commie; then also audible still
going past 1508 on 9535, 11760, 15140, JBA carrier 15230; past 1522,
7350 and 6000 also (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255, Oct 29 at 0616, VON absent, while Qur`an makes
it on 7245, presumably Algeria via France (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, Oct 28 at 2356 UT, silly sports talk from WKY OKC
keeps hiccuping, modulation dropping out about once a second; with BFO
I can tell the carrier is also dropping off, timed at the rate of about
48/minute until it stop doing that (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 28 into Oct 29 past 1500 UT, KUCO-FM OKC appears
to be on the air but with weakened carrier only vs other classical
station KHCC Radio Kansas. KUCO studio if not transmitter probably part
of widespread power outage in OKC due to icestorm. Still the same Oct
30 past 1400 --- hearing KHCC Radio Kansas 90.1 but also seeming dead
carrier from KUCO (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 18130-USB, Oct 28 at 1510, W5KI concluding a contact; and just
before at 1509 on 18115-USB, another JBA ham, a WA3, discussing a silly
baseball game. I often scan the so-called 17m hamband for any signs of
activity, usually without. 16m too: now 17775- KVOH only JBA carrier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2057 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday October 28
until 2129:19, so started circa 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490v, S7-S9.

Also confirmed Wed Oct 28 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S2-S5 via broken-LW-on-
the-ground-under-icy-tree-debris.

Not confirmed UT Thu Oct 29 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA carrier, but
probably.

Next WOR 2058 may be delayed depending on when internet outage be fixed
and on whether power be lost at HQ.

WOR 2057 did have to replay UT Fri Oct 30 at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 VG and
5010 fair-good.

Later: WOR 2058 has been produced but unable to upload to website or ftp
to affiliates. Instead will attempt to send as email attachment via
library computer, ASAP October 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Oct 28 at 1502, this WRMI is still off, nor is that BS
replaced by extending 9955 into midday as was planned; yet 9455 remains
in well with own BS. It`s overkill anyway, when 9395 & 9455 carry same
programming 60 kHz apart on same parameters. But TOMBS fell for that,
too much sucker money to spend (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 870, Oct 28 at 2353 UT, WWL New Orleans still has plenty of
time for commercials as the eye of Hurricane Zeta is right over the
city. Eventually gets back to coverage, callers, and reports from
parish sheriff(s). 0000 Oct 29 into CBS News leading with a report from
the same WWL guy; some fades vs something hetting in its null. Then
locally explains the modified jock schedule overnight, including this
one coming back at 6 am [CDT] -- that is apparently his normal shift
as he keeps saying ``good morning`` now and swears at himself for
sodoing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Conservative Analyst Bill Kristol:
A Trump Second Term Would Be Dangerous

President Trump’s America has been characterized by political
polarization. Also notable has been the exodus of prominent Republicans
from the GOP. One high-profile example is Bill Kristol, who served in
the administrations of both Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. He now
leads Defending Democracy Together, a coalition of anti-Trump
Republicans. He spoke with Walter Isaacson about the possible cost to
his former party, should its members continue to back this
administration unconditionally.
