1840 about some anniversary Sept 5. They are really into anniversaries

BTW, Mike Cooper forwards an obit for BBC guy who covered that, Harold
Briley
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/aug/31/harold-briley-obituary

There is a lot else to hear, view and accomplish on a Saturday
afternoon, so I don`t pay much attn to details, but recheck
periodically whether it still be on: yes, 2055, 2157, 2236 but
weakening, last trace at 2245 but not sure if s/off or f/out. But
*2255 cuts back on with CW, as if signing on all over, then music. But
gone again at 2259*. Of course, in SSB with little or no carrier,
modulation breaks are tantamount to sign-offs. After 2300 there is ACI
from Chinese on 15480.

Earlier, Manuel Méndez, Spain caught an announcement:
``LRA 36, at 2001 Juan Benavente announces that next Monday September
4, at 1300 Argentine time {16 UT}, an agreement will be signed to
donate a 10 kW transmitter for LRA 36 that will come into operation in
2024. This event will be transmitted live on short wave, 15476usb from
LRA 36. Video of my log about the transmitter donation news:``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13820, Sept 2 at 1506, wall-of-noise and pulse
jamming against nothing, as the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming
Command keeps going against OCB`s well-known? B-season-only frequency.
Jamming is JBA beneath A-23`s 13605. Rather it is jamming something on
13820 with a JBA carrier detected amid. Per HFCC it`s USAGM in Pashto
via KUWAIT at 13-17; also an imaginary Moskva at 07-15. Why would
USAGM ever use a frequency ruined forever by Cuban jamming? HFCC
refuses to list any usage by non-members, tho the members need to know
about them. HFCC B-23 conference is imminent in Australia (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sept 2 at 1508, RHC S5/S6 of dead air or maybe JBM;
15230 likewise but cuts off at 1509* just as I tune in. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6199.999, Sept 2 at 0630, S6/S7 of music from presumed
pirate Hikari FM, very accurate frequency, I measure here or .998 but
within margin of error from 6200.000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. RF & virtual ch 13, Sat Sept 2 at 2200, KETA of
the OETA network with `People of the North`, a limited series I have
been enjoying among many other travelogs on PBS, and here also on the
Create subchannel. Trouble is, OETA has been scattering it all over
their schedules, and it`s been hard to catch each of 10 episodes just
once. Recommended, anyhow. Great scenery and telegenic hosts. Website
is plugged but it seems complete episodes are not there for streaming,
just 30-second previews:

Create channels can be located in most markets via
https://www.rabbitears.info/search.php?request=network_search&network=Create
I`m not travelling much any more, so really appreciate all those
armchair shows (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAIPAN. 9910, Sept 2 at 1512, Korean at S6/S8. It`s USAGM at 15-17
per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.008, Sept 2 at 2208, VOT English is not off the air,
S9+40/45 into UTwente and with good modulation. 2223 a travelog,
didn`t get the title or subject. By 2230 weakening, only S7/S9, and VP
by 2245. Must be some prop disturbance. Anyhow at 2200-2225 I`m mainly
getting `People of the North`; see OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2206 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday September 2 the first SWBC, 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10 into
Missouri remote.

Also confirmed Saturday September 2 at 1600 on WRN North American
webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday September 2 at 1930 again on WRN.

Also confirmed Saturday September 2 at 1930 on WRMI System B webcast
only; almost synchronized with WRN.

Also confirmed Saturday September 2 from 1938 the 1930v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, S9+14 into nearby SDR. Next:

Thanks this week for financial support from Donald Pearce, N0WMD,
Potomac MD, for a contribution via PayPal in US funds but not
necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com and says, ``Hi Glenn, After a
long hiatus, I’m back to SWLing; Thanks for all you do for the SWL
hobby!``

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Also, Gary Drew says there is a slight change to the nightly webcasts
on Gary Drew Worldwide:
https://liveonlineradio.net/gdwr
sometime between 23 & 05 UT rather than 22/06 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 2 at 0634, NO signal from R. Vanuatu after
several weeks` reliability. When this happen, suspect they have
changed to alternate frequency, but no signal at all on 5040; no point
in checking 3945 here, but no signals on its harmonix either, 7890 &
11835, which used to be a great bonus. Yet later, 0920/1104, Ron
Howard and Manuel Méndez confirm it`s back on 3945 but agree the
harmonix have been eliminated! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.482V, Sept 2 at 0548, mystery station is on again
tonight, JBA talk direct at S6 vs S9 storm noise level peaks. Previous
better logs were of American-accented gospel huxter, presumed the same
now. From 0601 to 0615 I check several remotes hoping for better
reception. NO signal at these: UTwente, Missouri, Maryland.

Almost inaudible but able to synch-lock onto carrier, skewed by
various off-calibrations and SDR instability in addition to station`s
own variations upward:
Utah: +520/532 Hz
Georgia: 537/583 Hz; WWV 10 MHz: +0.1-0.6 Hz
KFS California omni: +553/557 Hz; WWV 10 MHz: -0.8 Hz
Bonaire: +569/575. WWV 10 MHz: +3/4 Hz

At 0622 I ask others to try to hear and ID it, in the WOR iog, HCDX,
and even RealDX which normally deals only with after-the-fact analysis
of recordings. NO replies found by 10 hours later!

At 0627 back to my own R75, which is getting it better than any of
those remotes! But still JBA, now 7300.62 apx.
At 0653 on 7300.70 apx. Next check at wakeup 0942, unheard (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0006 UT September 3

Hauser
** CHINA. 13920, 13530, 13020, 15920, Sept 1 at 1418-1422, CNR1
jammers // in Chinese talk. 13530 strongest. But not on 14920. All in
Aoki as Sound of Hope frequencies: how many more list-loggers will
think they had SOH itself, ignoring the * which means jammed, always
far more likely to be heard; log SOH only if you can rule out CNR1!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11955, Sept 1 at 1427, S6/S9 open carrier with flutter,
something about to sign on? NO, cuts off at 1430* sharp. Aoki & EiBi
show it was CRI in Indonesian via Kunming at 1330-1430; preceded by an
hour of Malay; and Tagalog/Filipino from 1130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 1 at 0638, R. Rebelde is back on after missing a
few nights, ID. Ron Howard says that at 1022, RR was weak enough that
Quillabamba, Perú, could be heard mixing. And David Crawford, FL,
replies to my previous report:

``Rebelde 5025 was first noted back on here at 2230 31 AUG Z check.
4765 was noted active simultaneously with 5025 at check at 0200 Z 1
SEP, so there are still two good 60 m txs and antennas at Bauta``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9600, Sept 1 at 0439, RHC Spanish ID in passing, S7 and not
on 9700; others have reported this anomaly a couple times before. Now
we wonder if it be intentional. Something` always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK. 5970, Sept 1 at 0440, rock music at S5/S7 vs HSNL into NH
SDR: faded by 0517, but then still S9 into UTwente: certainly not WEWN
or China as only others sked now. Checking since Nino Marabello had
reported Aug 31 that it was WEWN, i.e. reactivating its nighttime
Spanish frequency; I mentioned on WOR 2206 before a chance to
deconfirm that, and now he has corrected his report: ``Here are the
following correct log: 5970 31/8 0445 Radio 208, DK-Hvidovre Px dan
25522. 73 da N. Marabello, QTH Treviso, Italy`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17450, Sept 1 at 1423, JBA signal here, probably
Dengê Welat via Uzbekistan and/or Turkish jammer. Nothing now on
higher channels below 17500. Aoki includes DW on 17450 but at
1040-1155 only, with specific other times for 17455, 17460, 17470,
17475, 17480, 17485. Spans maybe as monitored once, but I don`t think
we can rely on such precise jumparound skeds. EiBi shows them all with
a span of 0300-2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, Sept 1 at 0625, dead air from XEPPM. Unfortunately
not unusual late at night, no one paying attention? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Sept 1 at 2341-2349+, S7/S9 of `Stayin`
Alive`, classic rock, OPOB. Many more logs here as unID, but several
heard ``Zeeky talking``:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,117646.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.468 AM, Sept 1 at 1435, S9+10 steady dead air from
local CBer, rather than relaying an FM station. No skip at all now on
10 or 11m.

27184.48 approx. AM, Sept 1 at 2332, S9 open carrier still/again here.
Now there is some QRM and lots of skip on 11m CB, still nothing on 10m
ham (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, random times afternoon of Sept 1 on caradio,
cannot be sure KOCD Okeene even be on air, let alone any $ tereo
deadair. Briefly heard some commercial-sounding Spanish, presumably
the Liberal KS fringer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11745, Sept 1 at 1425, Arabic mentioning Arabiya
Saudiya, the `AFRTS` service, S9/+10, best overseas signal on band;
also correlating:

[and non] 11860, Sept 1 at 1426, roar from the defective Sa`udi
transmitter for Republic of Yemen Radio program, mixing with R. Martí
and adding to the Cuban jamming of same (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 1 at 2200, token English from SFR, VG
S9+20/25 into Maryland SDR; almost as good on 17715 & 15520, inferior
on squealy 11670. Top news item about price increases of olive oil in
past year, up 38%, but Extra Virgin OO up 227%, leading to a crime
wave. 2206 feature is Justin Coe visiting and interviewing in a
striking building about authors` & composers` compensation, abbr`d
ASGAY? Inside is an exhibition about Spanish rock bands. Not that I
care about this subject, but back to it at 2220 after trying to put up
with the distortion on VOT. I try to google correct spelling; asgay
gets sidetracked to gay stuff; asgaii comes up as a possibility but
then that`s sidetracked to Did You Mean ASCII! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sept 1 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, VG
S9+35/45 into UTwente but distorted overmodulation, especially
horrible during musical themes; 2212 multi-lingual ID filler reel.
2214 `Weekly Commentary` about Wagner following the crash in Russia.
Rehash of same story and speculation heard countless times before
elsewhere. 2219 music: I can`t stand it any more, back to Spain.
Obviously at TRT no one is listening to their own SW output and there
is no such thing as quality control. Something`s always awry at
Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2206 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 1 at 2049
the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9/+15 into nearby Noale

** U S A. 5085, Sept 1 circa 0300, still NO signal from WTWW. Last
time I axually heard it was April 1! Since then was expected to resume
as George McClintock was working on repairs and possible reactivation.
Had not heard from him in some time, so I asked for an update August
31. Very brief reply arrived too late to mention on WOR 2206:

``21 acres will be sold in about 2 or 3 months as commercial property.
The new owner will make a decision on the station's future. George
McClintock, 8-31-2023`` --- Once final we`ll be very interested to
learn who the new owner may be! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300v, Sept 1, long monitoring via UTwente and later
direct, 0330, 0558, 0622, no signal from the American gospel huxter
heard a number of times but not on every night (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7305, Sept 1 at 0330-0400+, NO signal into UTwente
except some RTTY warbling nearby; unlike last night when unID
broadcaster was here. Probably DHA UAE site testing, registered as
Farsi at 0330-0430.

EiBi shows the only existing 0330-0430 possibilities on other
frequencies are: R. Liberty in Pashto via Thailand and Germany; R.
Tamazuj via Vatican & Madagascar for Sudan South; and VOA
Kirundi/Kinyarwanda via São Tomé and Botswana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA. 9470, Aug 31 at 0352, S7/S9 of JBM yelling, no doubt
Ifrikya FM as scheduled 0300-0600 via Béchar. Something`s awful in
Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 31 at 0334, R. Progreso is S9+15/25, but very
undermodulated music and mumbling. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba.

5025, Aug 31 at 0339, R. Rebelde is still off, as it had been before?
Idalia. Ron Howard says also silent from first check 0608 to last
check 0820. David Crawford, FL, replies:

``5025 Rebelde remains off as of 0230 31 AUG Z. The last time this
happened, when 5025 was taken down by TC Ian in Sept 2022, the 4765 tx
and/or antenna at Bauta were hijacked away from Progreso for a few
months and repurposed for Rebelde. I'm curious to see if it happens
again. Ian was a lot stronger than Idalia, so presumably less damage
resulted this time. In the meantime, 4765 is operating normally, at
least in the relative Cuban radio sense`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 31 at 0339, RHC ``English`` with trace of
modulation, S9+20/30. Also JBM are ``Spanish`` on 9535, 15230.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 31 at 0341, Turkish music S9+20/25 direct very
distorted. So this VOT English to NAm hour is no better than the 22
one I more conveniently monitor. BUT:

9770, Aug 31 at 0354, TRT Turkish service playing the ``old version``
interval signal, ~26 distinct notes on xylo?phone; great to hear it
again and I recommend these few minutes, with Burasi - IDs in Turkish;
0355.5 choral/martial NA which they never play on external languages;
0356.5 s/on, having to pronounce www as if in English! and into more
nice Turkish music. S9+25/35, VG signal and modulation and I bet it`s
aimed thisaway: yes, HFCC shows 500 kW, 310 degrees at 0400-0600 to
Eu, same beam as for ENAm. While the 7275 at 0300 is at 325 degrees,
for CIRAF Mexico, Caribbean, all of conterminous USA, except three
Pacific coast states (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2206)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2205 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday August 30 at 2100.5 on WBCQ 7490 -70 Hz = 7489.93, S7/S9
into Virginia SDR.

into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 31 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9/+10 but
noisy into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 31 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20

** VENEZOMBIA [non]. 4940, Aug 31 at 0335, no signal from 4940
Station; but JBA carrier on 4930 as VOA BOTSWANA no doubt succeeds.
Ron Howard says 4940 was also off at 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6981 approx., Aug 31 at 0329, multi-beepery a few kHz
above and below but can`t pinpoint a single source; and at 0330 sharp
blasted by noise for about 14 seconds plus 1, just like infests 7780
vomiting upon yours truly and anyone else every semi-hour on that WRMI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.00, Aug 31 at 0640, gospel huxter in Amerenglish,
S4 vs storm noise peaks S7. Still on at 0716. Have not heard it much
earlier; previously considerably off-frequency-plus but now close to
accurate; nothing listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2206)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7305, Aug 31 at 0343 music I assumed would be easily
looked up, but nothing this hour in EiBi, Aoki, WRTH 24 Aug Update;
but an HFCC registration of something: ``7305 0330 0430 40 DHA 250 35
