** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Oct 21 at 1753 tune-in via
Argentine remote, LRA36 already on, S5 talk not just music; 1755
contact info; [lunchtime for me]; 1828 recreation of LRA36 when it was
on 6030, 1968-69? 1843 IDs; 1844 multi-lingual canned IDs including
English; 1856 quoting Horacio Nigro`s La Galena del Sur blog from
Uruguay, about LRA36. Too much else going on Saturday afternoons to
listen to this for five hours straight! But some further chex: At 1918
I change to Brasil SDR. But there it does not sound quite right at
.98; maybe best at 15476.15? But SDR must be miscalibrated as on WWV
15000.000, it says carrier -106 Hz! On some SDRs can`t find a carrier
to zero in on. Even with good modulation level, carrier at Brasília is
JBA and hard to pinpoint. About 2000 mentions expecting a special
program from Adrián Korol at 6 pm [=21z]. 2002, historic recording of
first? contact between Antártida and Malvinas. 2041, it`s up to S7/S9
at Bsla. 2126, ID with frequency, current temp +5, a heat wave. 2256
next check seems off. Is anyone hearing them any other days at 15-17?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, R. Kiribati: still not getting any trace of it
direct; so I am trying via Oahu SDR which last season got it as early
at 0430 UT, circa sunset there and on Xmas Island to the south: Oct 21
at 0435, nothing audible or visible on the H2Ofall, yet SAM synch lox
onto a carrier displaying +0.4 to +1.1 Hz averaging +0.8. Don`t see
how it could be anything else from Pacific or Asia, let alone Europe.
At next chex 0523 & 0555, there is a JBV fuzzy carrier, still nothing
audible, and variation slightly greater, plus/minus 2 Hz. Some or all
of that could be instability of receiver; or partly transmitter; or
unstable propagation. Will keep checking periodically. June 8 at 0658
was the last time I logged a JJBBA carrier direct (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Oct 21 at 0518 UT, K17JN-D, the multi-channel 3ABN

on caradio, weak gospel huxter; at 1853 overridden by KKAJ ID, like a
meteor burst; or airplane scatter, in & out. 2000 local still off and
Bott Radio Network singing ID; by 2007 I find it running about 1
second behind 800 KQCV. This all correlates with WTFDA DB:

The Village is a NW OKC suburb, where I dwelt 1954-1961y; unnecessary

off. Nothing else heard on 107.1 but I see Bott has another overkill
OKC translator there, El Reno. Something unID on 107.3; several

also on 5130+ cutting away from Trumpcrap, no signal on 3265+; and
6160 - 68 Hz = 6159.932, after ID continues with some other far-right,
far-christian huxter, contrary to program sked which claims it`s also
`AAAWWW`. Hmmm, sounds sorta like Biermann, but on BCQ? No, shortly
mentions `Intelligence Report`, which is supposedly sked only at 0000
UT Tue on 7490. Right into how to stock up on guns and ammo. Claims

1296, 1305-2, 1422, 1503, 1521 kHz. -2 means at least 2 carriers
beating.

Might have pulled a few more, but all the splash from obstructive
North Americans on 10/kHz channels is fierce. Here in deep North
America, with my ordinary equipment, getting any axual TA audio is
rare. But hey, a signal is a signal, making the trip. Many of these
I`m sure are Spain but there are some intriguing other possibilities
listed I won`t go into now.

Trans-Pacific: 846, R. Kiribati, Kiritimati, so far have not detected

Hawaii SDR, and of course direct long after TAs absorbed in daytime;

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 18 at 2210, VOT English not off the air,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2212 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.
Dear Glenn: Update, I did hear 5850, 9395, confirming WOR #2212, WRMI:

** U S A. 9330, Oct 18 at 1511, World`s Last Chance Radio on WBCQ-6,
in pseudo-scientific discussion of how the earth is flat, as looking
at the stars surely confirms, Polaris visible in the south, the stars
being very nearby in the firmament. So ridiculing them as ``Flat
Earthers`` is still very much appropriate. Allan Weiner would never do
that but often reminds us he is a ``man of science`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, Wed Oct 18 at 0654, WWCR-4 is on with unID gospel
huxter, not // 5850 WRMI so not TOMBS. This transmitter had been on
overnight only on UT Sat & Sun for TOMBS. WWCR-4 on 5890 could be on
anytime between 02 and 12. For axual scheduling, rather than 24/7
registered availability, we must look instead at the program
schedules.
The Oct 1 version still claims 5890 is OFF THE AIR, M-F 12-7 am
Central, misconverted to UT as 06-13 rather than 05-12. Could it be
something sked on another transmitter? NO, 5935 has University
Network, not that. 4840 is TOMBS, and 3215 is supposed to be OFF just
like 5890, altho I did not recheck 3215 at this time.

WWCR has already added B23 transmitter schedules, in two steps, the
first week Oct 29-Nov 5 while USA be still on DST; and then Nov 6
onward, off DST. Same old frequencies, but shifts in changeover times
for a few of them. 5890 will be available at 03-13 UT. On this xmtr
page it appears they get the CT/UT conversions correct, unlike on the
programming pages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15610, Oct 18 at 2226, RCC discussion in English, so WEWN is
back on; was AWOL last time I checked. S9+10 with squeal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Oct 18 at 1512 UT, YL DJ on KLEY Wellington KS with
slogan in passing as ``The Wave``, NOT ``Red Dirt Country`` as in
2023-2024 NRC AM Log, and rock rather than country (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Oct 18 0657, S4/S5 talk from R. Vanuatu still here,
vanishes sometime after 0658. I don`t think they make any retuning
announcement, do they? Leaving listeners hanging unless they be
DXer-like, in the know (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search October 18 at
0111-0120 UT. This time on the NRD-545 which doesn`t tune in 9-kHz
steps - or if it can, I don`t know how; rather than the IC-R75, so I
have to manually go in USB to 1 kHz below some of them, and do get
some hits, not in exact order tuned: 684, 711, 774-2 beating, 855,
891, 909-strongest, 999-2, 1053, 1107 kHz. Likely from Spain, Western
Sahara, Algeria, UKQOGBANI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15299.87 approx., Oct 18 at 1514, JBA carrier direct as
I am checking for MiniTransAt. At 1521 I check UTwente, but it has an
S7 open carrier right on 15300.000 but rough. Was it a birdie? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
