** CUBA. 9885 and 9805, Oct 26 at 0543, lite pulse jamming against
nothing; 9805 is an ex-Martí frequency but never at this hour, and
9885 is currently VOA French to Africa via Vatican, unheard.
Something`s always wrong at the Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) Date correct, omitted from previous report

** OKLAHOMA. Except for a split-second glitch, we haven`t yet lost
power in this part of Enid, unlike 4 to 6 thousand other OG&E
customers; but circa 2300 UT Oct 27, my main 100-foot longwire antenna
for the R75 is broken and on the ground under tree debris felled by
severe ice storm. With a lot of icing on it, had been supported by
three trees in a row; and before that the last segment was already
down; once warmed up and cleared, fixing it or replacing it is not a
very big job, but I am so sad for our poor trees! Meanwhile I can
still try to use it, or switch to ``indoor longwire`` strung around
the ceilings of two rooms. A third wave of freezing rain is on the way
from El Paso (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 4764, Oct 28 at 0002, VP signal from presumed Radio
Huanta 2000, before Cuba sometimes start Progreso at 0030 on 4765, tnx
to tip from LOB in Brasil who was getting it a few minutes earlier,
and has not been active every night. I`m listening via a remote not
far from him which is getting it better than another remote which is
closer to Perú. To boot, it also gets a weaker het/carrier from 4765
and it`s still not Cuba. Must be TAJIKISTAN which per EiBi, not Aoki,
comes on at 2259. Here direct at 0017 via broken wire, I only have JBA
carrier on 4764 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Oct 27 at 2124, VOA rock music S9+30, as
B-season-only hour in English via Grimesland has resumed, 250 kW due
east and thus also with a bigsig opposite off the back at ideal skip
distance. This also means that on Fridays at 2105-2200 we may again
easily hear `Music Time in Africa` unlike in the A-seasons when the
only SW frequency is JBA 15580 Botswana --- and I bet hostess hyper
Heather is still unaware of this outsending. Now if I can only
remember, at an inconvenient time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 12075, Oct 27 at 2112, S9+10 English lesson for French
about buying shoes: it`s VOA, 100 kW, 350 degrees via BOTSWANA M-F at
2100-2130, and followed by Bambara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2057 monitoring, next:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] [NEW]
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** VENEZUELA. 6905.930v-RCUSB, Oct 28 at 0057 via TWR Bonaire SDR,
peppy tropical tunes mostly vocal at S6-S7. At 0100 a 5+1 timesignal
which must be crosstalk from something, mixing with continuing music.
0105 automated timecheck for 9:04, and others are consistently one
minute slow. Canned IDs of 3 or 4 varieties play between every 2 or 3
songs, None mentioning Venezuela 93.7 nor the next station to be
relayed, LV del Tigre 980 --- just ``ROCV, 6906``. At 0111, grandiose
``transmitiendo a nivel mundial`` and contact info for reports too
rapid for me to copy and I`m as usual not recording, seeming e-mail,
phone, postal? ``Sus reportes son importante para nosotros`` but not
explicitly promising any QSL. 0119 another ID, etc., etc., and 0204
again the one with contact info (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING
++++++++++++++++++++++++

Right-wing U.S. Christians have engineered an almost parallel version
of the faith, writes Michael Coren · for CBC News Opinion · Posted:
Oct 27, 2020 4:00 AM ET |

...One of the ironies of the United States is that a country that so
roars about the concept of the separation of church and state has a
political system so drenched in religiosity. The divinity's followers
vote in enormous numbers and many U.S. politicians are genuine
believers, whatever their party allegiance.

And then there is Donald Trump. Even though he won the support of more
than 80 per cent of white evangelicals in 2016 and is still highly
popular with Christians of many denominations, there's little sign
that he's an authentic person of faith. His personal behaviour is
unusual for someone who says he is a Christian, and his policies
routinely appear to be the antithesis of the Gospel values of peace,
love, and justice...

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Oct 27 at 1414: nothing found in the
13s, 12s or 11s WOOB until I get to a JBA carrier on 10870 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Oct 27 at 1411, RHC is S9 of dead air, while 13740 is
off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 840, WHAS Louisville KY to be off the air again for
tower maintenance from 0400 UT Oct 27: tnx to tip from Chris Gay, KU4A
to the WOR iog, which quickly spread to MW-only DX groups:

``I just learned that 840 WHAS will go off the air again tonight for
tower maintenance starting at midnight EDT (0400Z). The length of the
outage was not announced.``

At 0402 I tune in to find WHAS still on during Kentucky news, but
after asserting ``broadcasting live 24/7``, ha2, cuts off at 0405.7*
--- but back on in a few seconds, that was quick! During weather from
WLKY-TV; why not WHAS-TV??, 0406 into weird talkshow, `Ground Zero`
about ``shadow archetypes, lurkers showing up at 3 am``.

Recheck at 0425 now WHAS is off, and the only signals I am getting
loop SE/NW, but with splash from 850 KOA: music, 0428 Spanish? No sign
from the south of KVJY Pharr in the RGV of TX, U4 5/1 kW, also Spanish
which is normally the #1 competitor to WHAS. Main signal is surely 10
kW CMHW in Santa Clara, Cuba, but has a 1.1 Hz SAH, which could be the
other further 1 kW Cuban, CMKC, R. Revolución, Palma Soriano, Santiago
province; or some other LA. Not rechecked until 0535, WHAS still off,
some fading faster SAH carriers on E-W longwire, but on DX-398, music
with slow SAH dominant from SE. 0600 still that with no ID break, but
*0601 WHAS cuts back on JIP news; 0615 check it`s off again. One more
check before I quit, WHAS off and on at 0632*-*0633 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9605, Oct 27 at 0122, S9+10/20 of rock music,
presumably K-pop [what`s the big deal about that?], 0128 announcement
in Spanish, KBSWR relay still going via WHRI. It`s Oct 27 but HFCC
still has not published a non-tentative B-20 schedule, the latest
still dated Oct 23 despite season starting Oct 25! With double
registration for 9605 by FCC and by ENCompass, but also 5990 for same
broadcast via Grimesland NC, i.e. USAGM. Axual date of switchover
unknown, apparently depending on when the sale of WHRI to WBCQ close.
Nothing yet on 5990.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1 KUCO-FM and 91.7 KOSU, Oct 27 from 1430 UT, both our
public radio stations from OKC are suffering brief drops off air,
presumably due to icing on their antennas, as we are being hit by a
terrible ice storm. Cable and internet also lost in Enid circa 1600
UT, so we must rely only on OTA TV via roof antenna. Until we lose
power too? 282,000 Oklahoma customers of OG&E, PSO and others are
reported to be powerless as of 1700 on KWTV news; and the OG&E
systemwatch website was down even before we lost internet. Back online
by 1750 as I hasten to post this (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 426-MCW kHz, Oct 27 at 0625 UT, JBA NDB ID as IZS, which is
25 watts from Montezuma, Georgia, SW of Warner Robins and Perry, right
next to Oglethorpe. Nothing else unusual LW logged vs the noise level
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2057 monitoring: confirmed Monday
October 26 from 1900.5 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, time-shifted one UT
hour later for 5 months; monitored via UTwente, carrier on from *1857;
1859.8 quick ID and FSN headlines before WOR. Heavy unevitable ACI
splash from 7295 CRI English westward from Urumqi, East Turkistan,
land of cultural genocide by the ChiCom against Uyghurs; and also from
7280 Voice of Vietnam: despite being -10 kHz away, it remains just as
bad as the +5, meaning switching LSB/USB tuning does not help. WOR
completely readable if you put up with the noise. Spotchex indicate
WOR airs intact, and ending at 1929.5 with no chopoff! Brief horn,
IRRS address with Milano P O Box they supposedly have quit using; and
into FSN more than headlines.

Also confirmed UT Tue Oct 27 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA S5-S7 here,
good S8-S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Tue Oct 27 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9+10 at Bonaire
SDR. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] [NEW]
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

English at S9+10 but quite undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 840, WHAS Louisville KY off for maintenance: See CUBA [and
non]

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS UPDATE Oct 26
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES UPDATE Oct 25
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 26 at 0338, anonymous mystery missionary
station is still going, VG into Bonaire SDR, gospel huxter in Spanish.
One does not want to waste time listening to him in hopes of a
definite explicit full ID, but we shall be grateful if anyone
determine whence this axually emanate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. Re my not hearing final minutes of AIR Jaipur:
``Hello Glenn, AIR Jaipur went off SW as scheduled at 1751 UTC. Delhi
& Jaipur may be in skip at that time for 4910. Even Hyderabad was in
skip with them then but I could hear only a very faint carrier which
went off at 1751 UTC. Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS, National
Institute of Amateur Radio, Hyderabad, India`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 6170.090, Oct 25 at 1355 and still
1448, JBA off-frequency carrier as I hunt for RNZI, which I later find
from 1259 has moved from 6170 to 6115 as of October 26. Tentative B-20
HFCC even shows Bangladesh at 13-14 on 6170! Most likely this be KOREA
NORTH, VOK with PBS relay to Europe as per Arnulf`s B-20 schedule
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``

Oct 25 - Heard VOK at 1225, on 6170.08 (Glenn's measurement is
probably more accurate) // 6185.0 (which now blocks CHBC/China
reception); both with fair reception here on the West Coast. Ron
Howard`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 12035, Oct 26 at 1448, weak music and goes off by 1449.
Nothing scheduled but my informed theory is: VOT English at 1330-1425
failed to turn off reactivated 12035, and change frequency for Kazakh
at 1430-1500 as now B-20 scheduled on 9505. Same thing has happened
previously. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2057 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday October 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG here on WNW beam.

Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 26 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, good at UTwente to
the NE.

Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 26 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, S8/S9+5 at UTwente
where // 5800 is JBA, but S9+10 VG into Bonaire TWR KiwiSDR to the
SSE. Also confirmed on WRN webcast, already shifted one UT hour later

Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 26 starting at 0308.4 on Area 51 webcast,
preceding show running late. Also on WBCQ 6159.94v, S9/+10 at 0329
check direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 26 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, JBA carrier less
than the pulse jamming here, but S9/+5 at Bonaire with jamming
detectable only during fades. Next:

NOTE that previous previews missed the 1-hour-later timeshift already
in effect for IRRS. Tentative HFCC confirms and also shows new ACI
from 7295 CRI English westward from Urumqi. Vietnam still on 7280.

1901vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE

bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Oct 26 at 0400, WRMI is still off, closing now after
WOR, but supposedly stays on all day instead of missing 9395.

9955, Monday Oct 26 at 1455, is still on S9+10 with TOMBS // 9455.
Ditto at 1715 check. 9395 had been nothing but TOMBS or SMTV all day
long, so no loss or gain here.

9395, Oct 26 at 1450, this WRMI is making a comeback after several
days down: S7-S9 open carrier with weak tone. Off at 1715 check.

At 1450 I also have extremely distorted spurblobs circa 9441 and 9486,
but can`t relate them to 9395, 9455 or any Cuban. Not there at 1715
check, Possibly a local device (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490.003, Oct 26 at 0548, surprised to find gospel huxter in
English, way later than WBCQ is scheduled, not BS // TOMBS on 7570
WRMI; and too close to on-frequency for Monticello. O, in B-20 HFCC,
WHRI has 7490, 250 kW, 47 degrees at 0430-0600, so now it`s a 3-way
timeshare with WBCQ and WWCR --- soon to be WBCQ`s, but what callsign
will apply to Furman?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13650-13655-13660, Oct 26 at 1415, DRM noise on WINB`s new
hybrid frequency for B-20, 1200-1700 M-F, ex 15745-15750-15755. The
lower half is not traditional DRM noise but secret data stream
probably involving high-speed stock trading (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6906.1-RCUSB, Oct 26 at 0339, straining to hear ROCV via
Bonaire SDR, can only detect a JBA carrier by USB tuning offset
slightly below (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
