Logs
** ANGUILLA. Re my ham log missing one letter, Chuck W3ON replies:
``Glen[n], I just checked the K3LR DX cluster. The following stations
are currently operating. VP2ETE VP2EIH VP2EKG``

``Anguilla Island: I took another look at the K3LR DX cluster. Most
likely what you heard from Anguilla was VP2EIH. The station was
spotted on the K3LR DX cluster on October 20th on 18121 kHz
at 2133 UT`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Oct 22 at at 0623 UT, YL weather in English, gale
warning mentioned repeatedly; 0625 ``This is Halifax Coast Guard
Radio; out`` but immediately resumes briefly in French, back to
English. S6 vs an S5 noise level. Winterish conditions are looking up.
Maybe special broadcast as it`s 3:25 am in NS.

2598-USB also with a weaker YL voice at 0627, too weak. This frequency
covers NL and vicinity. There are a few other 2 MHz channels listed
further north and west which I have never managed to hear, if they
still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 22 at 1354 check, Trenton Military, ditto
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, Oct 22 at 1353, RHC S9+10/20 but suptorted while //
15140 is OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, Oct 22 at 1420, China Plus relay in English is S9+30
but extremely suptorted; wiggle that patchcord or render a refund to
the ChiCom! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9620-9660, Oct 22 at 1425, the RHC 9640 transmitter is still
spewing a buzzfield at least plus/minus 20 kHz, worst peaks circa 9630
& 9650. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, Oct 22 at 2146, RHC S7-S9 but only a trace of
modulation, unlike sufficient 11850. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 11561, Oct 22 at 1418, AIR 11560 with a song has a 1 kHz
het/carrier on the hi side; whence? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 9095, Oct 22 at 1346, algo JBA, no doubt Echo of Hope,
clandestine on its latest shift as also heard yesterday, and nothing
on original 9100 nor interim 9105. The Oct 21 edition of Aoki has it
only on 9095, but what about tomorrow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11520, Oct 22 at 1417, something new here, talk in
unID language, S4-S7, unused frequency per Aoki. Nothing now on 11530
and maybe some noise on 11540, so suspect another shift by Dengê
Welat. Or is it Turkey jamming? The situation could change from day to
day or even hour to hour. Ivo Ivanov indicates when I heard it, both
were on 11520:

Pro Erdogan Radio Recep & Denge Welat in 25mb, October 21:
from 1500 NF 11540.0*EMR 500 kW/105 Turkish, good+STANAG, ex 11530
* co-ch same 11540.0 KCH 300 kW/130 Kurdish BRB Denge Welat - weak
from 1600 on 11540.0#ISS 250 kW/090 Kurdish BRB Denge Welat-strong
# co-ch same 11540.0 EMR 500 kW/105 Turkish Pro Erdogan TRT - weak
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/10/pro-erdogan-trt-px-brb-denge-welat-on.html

Pro Erdogan Radio Recep & Denge Welat on new 11520 kHz, Oct. 22
0600-1300 Pro Erdogan Radio Recep & Denge Welat are on 11530, instead
of 11540 Oct. 21!
1315&1515 NF 11520*EMR 500 kW/105 Turkish, good signal ex 11530/11540
* co-ch same 11520 KCH 300 kW/130 Kurdish, Denge Welat - very weak
from 1400 NF 11520*KCH 300 kW/130 Kurdish, fair signal ex 11530/11540
* co-ch same 11520 EMR 500 kW/105 Turkish TRT Radio Recep, weak
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/10/pro-erdogan-radio-recep-denge-welat-on.html

October 22 from 1600 UT Radio Denge Welat is on 11530 ISS and TRT
broadcast of Turkish secret services on 11520 EMR

Denge Welat on 11530 & Pro Erdogan Radio Recep on 11520, Oct. 22
from 1600 on 11530 ISS 250 kW/090 Kurdish R. Denge Welat, very strong
from 1600 on 11520 EMR 500 kW/105 Turkish TRT Radio Recep, very good
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/10/denge-welat-on-11530-erdogan-radio.html

I assume ``Radio Recep`` is Ivo`s nickname for it, not a real ID
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6907-USB, Oct 22 at 2345, S9 pirate music, with
abrupt breaks in modulation = transmission, but YL ``CNR`` IDs at
2345, 2353, apparently stays off from 2357*. Many earlier logs here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,59435.0.html
It`s not so Clever when Clever Name Radio be initialized (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, Oct 22 at 2153 UT, EI is back! EnId`s 25-watt
MCW ND beacon at Woodring airport. The manager and others I visited
yesterday had no direct knowledge of it or its status, referring me to
FAA; but maybe my inquiry led her to look into turning it back on?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, Oct 22 at 1930 UT, KOKB Blackwell is cutting off
and on the air, and when on is weaker than normal, compared to other
stations and the noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 22 circa 2115 UT in a pledge break, KUCO says
it will be moving to ``beautiful new studios in downtown OKC`` ---
thus following in the footsteps of KOSU which could not resist the
allure of the Big City, both forsaking their original campi in Edmond
and Stillwater. At least KGOU remains at OU in Norman. If only KUCO
would spend some of that expense to attain a local-quality translator
signal into Enid. At least we may hope its recently refurbished
transmitter/site will remain on the north side (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2004 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday October
23 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA. Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330, Oct 22 at 2132, WBCQ-6 is off today; why? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see UNID 12120.4

** U S A. 17850, Oct 22 at 2138, JBA carrier, presumed WRMI 5950 X 3,
but still too weak to audiblize a match of BS; would be OSOB & SSOB if
17775 KVOH were not running late. I always check too for any trace of
Kuwait to us on 17550 which propagates only at midsummer, but zilch
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17774.99 approx., Oct 22 at 2135, praise music in Spanish
registering only S1, as KVOH is still on past nominal 2100* on Tue &
Thu; remains slightly off-frequency and have never answered my query
whether this be the old or ``new`` transmitter. It`s the SSOB but not
the OSOB tnx to WRMI? on 17850, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** UZBEKISTAN. 12160, Oct 22 at 1415, S Asian language talk vs CODAR,
S9-S7. Amid the TWR India 1345-1545 broadcast via Tashkent in a
complex compendium of tongues; Aoki shows M-F at 1400-1430 it`s Sin
which per EiBi means Sinhalese, not Sindhi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1690, Oct 22 at 2156 UT, heavy SAH of about 2.5 Hz,
between WVON Chicago --- and?? Retén lo que Tienes, Bâton Rouge
pirate? There is certainly a second station to cause the SAH. This
long before sunset, possibly KDMT Arvada CO is already propagating
here at the Top End; WMLB further east could be if it`s no longer
silent in GA, but seldom/never heard here. I compare this SAH to
another one later at 0038 Oct 23 which is more like 2.8 Hz and
definitely between KDMT and WVON. MWOffsets had those 3.9 Hz apart so
it`s all inconclusive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12120.4, Oct 22 at 2149, S4-S7 of open carrier; could it
be WBCQ-6, not on 9330 now? Surely not, so off-frequency, but
originally registered here for A-19 afternoons, with 11730 to be next
in B-19, should they attain higher-frequency capability. More likely
NAU Isabela PR RTTY idling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15330-USB, Oct 22 at 1351, 2-way in colloquial Spanish
altho the other way inaudible, INTRUDERS upon the ex-AFRTS frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Oct 20 after 2300, no signal from LRA36 for
final repeat of anniversary special, via the S American remote which
did forward it as late as 1930. Not too surprising as post-sunset down
there, a good reason not to regularly broadcast evenings if nothing
but such a high frequency be available.

** ANGUILLA. 18121-USB, Oct 20 at 2132, CQ DX from VP2E#H; can`t copy
the middle letter on two or three utterations. On QRZ.com lookup went
thru entire alfabet and found four fitters: VP2EEH, EIH, EMH and EQH
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Oct 20 after 2300, no signal from LRA36 for
final repeat of anniversary special, via the S American remote which
did forward it as late as 1930. Not too surprising as post-sunset down
there, a good reason not to regularly broadcast evenings if nothing
but such a high frequency be available (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** ARMENIA. 9300, Oct 21 at 1313, TWR music box IS, S4-S6 with
flutter; preceding the TWR Indian broadcast at 1315, which on Monday
and Tuesday is in the MUNdari language spoken by 1.1 million in
Jharkhand, Odisha, per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9818.483, Oct 21 at 0621, JBA signal with some modulation,
no doubt R. 9 de Julho with R. Aparecida programming. What else? Own
Aparecida appears to lack an apparition on 9630+, but there is a much
stronger:

9664.859, Oct 21 at 0623, Brazuguese conversation at S9-S7, from Voz
Missionária well heard overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CHINA. 9180, 9215, 10960, 11440, 11460, 12880, Oct 21 at 1312-1321,
only WOOB CNR1 jammer/carriers found in a sweep from 9 to 15 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 774 & 828, Oct 21 at 1225, JBA YL talk, no doubt the
superpower NHKs in Akita and Osaka, tho can`t be sure of language and
not necessarily Japanese during language lessons. I also have no doubt
I`m getting same stations when they are JBA carriers looping NW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also UNIDENTIFIED

** KOREA SOUTH. 3480, 3910, 3984, 4450, 4880, 5995, 6515, 6600, 9095,
Oct 2 at 1256, quick survey of EOH/VOH/VOP clandestine frequencies
find some have shifted a further 5 kHz than before, some back on
originals; also Japan 3925 seems to have CCI SAH and nothing on 3930!
Can`t tell if on 6250 due to uteblob. Some also have jamming noise,
some not, or JBA carriers, but presumed since nothing 5 kHz away where
previously landed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Oct 20 at 1715, S9+20 of Cuban spy numbers
and diginoise overrides any possible Turkish clandestine here.
11540, Oct 20 at 1715 has some weak talk presumably Dengê Welat. Above
should have preceded my subsequent obs at 1940 as in last report.

11540, Oct 21 at 1316, Kurdish? talk presumed from Dengê Welat, maybe
jamming but nothing on 11530 from new Turkish counterpart.

Other reports about these today; from Ivo Ivanov, Observer, Bulgaria:
``TURKEY/KURDISTAN Pro Erdogan Radio Recep & Denge Welat, October 21:
from 1500 NF 11540.0*EMR 500 kW/105 deg Turkish, good+STANAG ex 11530
* co-ch same 11540.0 KCH 300 kW/130 deg Kurdish BRB Denge Welat -weak
from 1600 on 11540.0#ISS 250 kW/090 deg Kurdish BRB Denge Welat-trong
# co-ch same 11540.0 EMR 500 kW/105 deg Turkish Pro Erdogan TRT- weak
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOddHnIREDE&feature=youtu.be
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDXyGVuogW0&feature=youtu.be ``

Kai Ludwig, Germany: ``Earlier in the evening, before everything faded
out, clearly two different signals, with carriers hetting against each
other, could be noted on 11540 while no trace of any carrier was on
11530 anymore. So indeed Emirler followed Denge Welat, thus their
intention is not to take over the established frequency and its
Kurdish audience but merely to jam Denge Welat.

Meanwhile also routing for this "special broadcast" has been found:
http://en.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11096&pid=28&live=89&sec=0&lang=en

The ID of this channel indicates that it was the feed for the Arabic
broadcasts on 630 and 1062 kHz, which apparently have been
discontinued recently. So TRT is really deeply involved in this
jamming operation. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15090, Oct 21 at 1409, JBA carrier. EiBi shows R. Liberty
all the way from 0430 to 1430 alternating Dari and Pashto for IRAN ---
shouldn`t that be AFGHANISTAN? With inband 19m SWBC so little-used,
there is no reason for a major broadcaster to intrude into the aero
band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1090, Oct 21 at 0559, YL promo for `Milenio Diario`
newscast at L-V times, 0600 into infomercial. Still no ID, but another
match for XEAU, Monterrey, since searching immediately finds:

``XEAU-AM is a radio station on 1090 AM in Monterrey, Nuevo León. It
is owned by Multimedios Radio and carries Milenio Radio along with
sister station XHFMTU-FM 103.7 HD3. Wikipedia``. Of course that does
not prove that no other 1090 station airs M.D., but surely XEAU, our
closest 1090 anyway is the one I have been hearing. As usual, KAAY
from the east can be nulled, but not the annoying 1089 het from the
700+ kW of UK synchros (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Re my ID of the 1130 station as XEYZ Aguascalientes2, still
on the AM air, Tim Hall, editor of the IRCA Mexican Log, replies,
first on the ABDX yg:

``Thanks for the update. This is very odd. I can't imagine what they
would be doing back on the air. They surrendered their AM license
almost a year and a half ago (see URL below for a copy of the
self-cancellation letter). I haven't heard anything about them being
forced to turn the AM back on (a "continuity obligation" can be
invoked if the Mexican government determines that the AM shutdown
leaves even a few people with no remaining radio or TV coverage). The
AM license was not restored as of the August 2019 IFT list. Maybe it
will show up on the next list?
http://rpc.ift.org.mx/rpc/pdfs/35226_181212173840_5224.pdf
73 Tim``

And directly Oct 21: ``For now I've added the note to the Mex list
database. I'll see if I can re-log XEYZ from the Border Inn next
weekend. Hopefully I'll catch XECHAP too, if they made their projected
on-air date of Oct 4th.

XEYZ-1130 is still including AM 1130 in their ID: 1 File 381.6 kB
https://www.w4uvh.net/20191020_2302_XEYZ_1130_web_stream_ID.mp3
...despite surrendering the AM license almost a year and a half ago.
The attached ID was taken from their web stream a few minutes ago. 73
Tim`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, EI, Enid`s only NDB, 25 watts at Woodring
Airport, has not been heard since Sept 7 when it was audible along
with YYU in Kapuskasing, the latter scheduled for decommissioning Oct
10. That leaves on 341 OIN, Oberlin KS and many others listed.

It appears EI has also been. I finally visited Woodring the afternoon
of Oct 21 and asked their new diector, Deirdre Gurry, about it:
https://www.enidnews.com/news/local_news/new-airport-director-introduced-at-woodring/article_7b3a48aa-1630-51ce-b23b-1cf313604d26.html

It`s the FAA`s responsibility and I should seek out a NOTAM notice
about it, but she thinx it used to be on the south side of the runway,
and that such LW beacons are being phased out as who needs them with
GPS? Maybe it failed naturally and will not be fixed.

Here it is, as if still extant, but as of 12 September 2019:
http://www.airnav.com/cgi-bin/navaid-info?type=NDB&id=EI&name=GARFY
which was linked from everything else you need to know about KWDG:
http://www.airnav.com/airport/KWDG
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1580, Oct 21 at 1304 UT, KOKB Blackwell is
still AWOL after sunrise, leaving us to hear mariachi borracha music
from the NW = KFCS Colorado Springs, which is not supposed to go from
140 watts night to 10000 day until 1315 UT in October (1345:
November), but soon fading while KHGG AR talk ascends. By 1900 UT
check, however, KOKB is back on alone (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.2V, Oct 21 at 1335 UT, big hum and carrier around
88.3, very intermittent, blocking KWOU 88.1 during `Stardate` at
1342.5; not my transmitter and heard on at least 3 radios, again
suspected to be the rotten K202BY Family Radio translator for Enid,
otherwise AWOL. There it is again, Oct 21 at 2351 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7293.9-AM, Oct 20 at 2143, weak VP hAM S7-S3 helped by ECSS,
says he is using a 160-m dipole now; sure sounds like TimTron altho
belchless, known to hang out around here; indeed 2144 ID as WA1HLR.
His contact is much stronger S8-S9, and asks him about his WBCQ work
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Oct 21 at 1323, K6FRC HIFER beacon from Patterson
CA; seems I usually hear it around this time rather than later in the
day when MUF should be higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2004 monitoring. Confirmed Sunday
Oct 20 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, S8-S6.

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 at 0130 on WRMI 9395 VP; 7780 JBA.

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, VP.

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 from 0301:40 on Area 51 webcast (after
a flurry of F-words; standard disclaimer); and at 0314, S9+10 on WBCQ
5130- but considerable storm noise from the other side of OKC

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S9 but noisy.

Next:
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW
0830 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [another episode]
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

NEW TIME FOR WORLD OF RADIO ON WRMI: Saturday 1300 on 15770 to the NE.
Tnx to Ivo Ivanov who noticed this on Oct 19. I had asked Jeff for
some time, any time on Saturday since all the previous ones had gone
away. No reply, and skedgrid still shows blank spaces for System D
15770 at 1300-1400 on Sat & Sun; on weekdays that hour has variety
programming, unlike TOMBS before 1300 and Supreme Master TV after 1400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.00, Sunday Oct 20 at 2127, I notice that WBCQ-6 is on
with preaching in English about Yahweh (sp?); only S9+15/20 so
probably still on the 60 degree beam awayward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12070, Oct 21 at 1318, spurblob from WEWN which on
fundamental 12050 is distorted with hum and crackling carrier, S9+20,
much stronger than usual, Radio Católica Mundial ID (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 910, Oct 21 at 1243 UT, Iowa Public Radio is seeking a
professional engineer, i.e. WSUI Iowa City, onetime WORLD OF RADIO
affiliate; soon losing out to an iHeart station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1440, Oct 21 at 1239 UT, KEXB Dallas is still running the
Spanish/English loop about KTNO moved to 620; now with growing CCI
probably Topeka (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1700, Oct 21 at 1302 UT, open carrier/dead air from KKLF
Richardson TX, as confirmed by DF; KBGG Des Moines modulation also
audible by rotation of the DX-398 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, presunrise 1244 UT
Oct 21 at 1230-1237; on the R75 with E-W longwire this time, so no
DFing to separate the NW from the WSW: 567, 594, 693, 702, 729, 747,
756, 774, 828, 837, 873, 882, 891, 918, 972, 1008, 1017, 1035, 1053,
1107, 1512, 1548 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1059.95 approx., Oct 21 at 1248 UT, something in Spanish
making a LAH against 1060 stations; suspect KIJN Farwell TX (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1490, Oct 21 at 1308 UT, ``APR Network News`` plug,
perhaps outro of `cast, loops E-W, briefly atop jungle. Figure it must
something from Arkansas, of which there are 3, but no connexion to any
such network in the NRC AM Log or by searching; closest is KWXT
Dardanelle; more easterly but further, KDRS Paragould; and more to the
SE, KXAR Hope. Alabama Public Radio calls itself APR, but all on FM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6841-USB, Oct 21 at 2103, ``Mister Rock, this is
Mountain Radio, I hear you loud and clear``; 2105 ``How copy: loud &
clear, split operations working OK. Standing by on this frequency``.
So his contact was on some other frequency; nothing else heard here.
What`s this, military? UDXF iog searches on frequency, calls
unproductive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9630.0, Oct 21 at 0627, JBA 1 kHz tone, like carriers on
9629 & 9631, in the absence of R. Aparecida unlike two other ZYs just
measured on 31m. Only thing scheduled is CNR1, besides an alternate
channel for RNZI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12665, Oct 21 at 1321, JBA CW, unusual in marine band;
UDXF iog search comes up with a 5-year-old log of 12665, FUG La
Regine/Saissac, France? but as STANAG, not straight CW. EiBi has Meteo
Fax from Rio, PWZ33 but not at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15490, Oct 21 at 1411, S9 dead air and right off. Maybe
Nauen or Ascension testing for later use of this channel; or
Greenville which likes to test on frequencies not otherwhen active
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17765, Oct 21 at 1412, S7 open carrier and right off,
like what I had just heard on 15490. Only thing sked on 17765 is BBC
Ascension at 1200-1230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Logs
** ANGUILLA. 18121-USB, Oct 20 at 2132, CQ DX from VP2E#H; can`t copy
the middle letter on two or three utterations. On QRZ.com lookup went
thru entire alfabet and found four fitters: VP2EEH, EIH, EMH and EQH
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Oct 20 after 2300, no signal from LRA36 for
final repeat of anniversary special, via the S American remote which
did forward it as late as 1930. Not too surprising as post-sunset down
there, a good reason not to regularly broadcast evenings if nothing
but such a high frequency be available (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** ARMENIA. 9300, Oct 21 at 1313, TWR music box IS, S4-S6 with
flutter; preceding the TWR Indian broadcast at 1315, which on Monday
and Tuesday is in the MUNdari language spoken by 1.1 million in
Jharkhand, Odisha, per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9818.483, Oct 21 at 0621, JBA signal with some modulation,
no doubt R. 9 de Julho with R. Aparecida programming. What else? Own
Aparecida appears to lack an apparition on 9630+, but there is a much
stronger:

9664.859, Oct 21 at 0623, Brazuguese conversation at S9-S7, from Voz
Missionária well heard overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CHINA. 9180, 9215, 10960, 11440, 11460, 12880, Oct 21 at 1312-1321,
only WOOB CNR1 jammer/carriers found in a sweep from 9 to 15 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 774 & 828, Oct 21 at 1225, JBA YL talk, no doubt the
superpower NHKs in Akita and Osaka, tho can`t be sure of language and
not necessarily Japanese during language lessons. I also have no doubt
I`m getting same stations when they are JBA carriers looping NW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also UNIDENTIFIED

** KOREA SOUTH. 3480, 3910, 3984, 4450, 4880, 5995, 6515, 6600, 9095,
Oct 2 at 1256, quick survey of EOH/VOH/VOP clandestine frequencies
find some have shifted a further 5 kHz than before, some back on
originals; also Japan 3925 seems to have CCI SAH and nothing on 3930!
Can`t tell if on 6250 due to uteblob. Some also have jamming noise,
some not, or JBA carriers, but presumed since nothing 5 kHz away where
previously landed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Oct 20 at 1715, S9+20 of Cuban spy numbers
and diginoise overrides any possible Turkish clandestine here.
11540, Oct 20 at 1715 has some weak talk presumably Dengê Welat. Above
should have preceded my subsequent obs at 1940 as in last report.

11540, Oct 21 at 1316, Kurdish? talk presumed from Dengê Welat, maybe
jamming but nothing on 11530 from new Turkish counterpart.

Other reports about these today; from Ivo Ivanov, Observer, Bulgaria:
``TURKEY/KURDISTAN Pro Erdogan Radio Recep & Denge Welat, October 21:
from 1500 NF 11540.0*EMR 500 kW/105 deg Turkish, good+STANAG ex 11530
* co-ch same 11540.0 KCH 300 kW/130 deg Kurdish BRB Denge Welat -weak
from 1600 on 11540.0#ISS 250 kW/090 deg Kurdish BRB Denge Welat-trong
# co-ch same 11540.0 EMR 500 kW/105 deg Turkish Pro Erdogan TRT- weak
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOddHnIREDE&feature=youtu.be
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDXyGVuogW0&feature=youtu.be ``

Kai Ludwig, Germany: ``Earlier in the evening, before everything faded
out, clearly two different signals, with carriers hetting against each
other, could be noted on 11540 while no trace of any carrier was on
11530 anymore. So indeed Emirler followed Denge Welat, thus their
intention is not to take over the established frequency and its
Kurdish audience but merely to jam Denge Welat.

Meanwhile also routing for this "special broadcast" has been found:
http://en.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?mux=11096&pid=28&live=89&sec=0&lang=en

The ID of this channel indicates that it was the feed for the Arabic
broadcasts on 630 and 1062 kHz, which apparently have been
discontinued recently. So TRT is really deeply involved in this
jamming operation. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15090, Oct 21 at 1409, JBA carrier. EiBi shows R. Liberty
all the way from 0430 to 1430 alternating Dari and Pashto for IRAN ---
shouldn`t that be AFGHANISTAN? With inband 19m SWBC so little-used,
there is no reason for a major broadcaster to intrude into the aero
band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1090, Oct 21 at 0559, YL promo for `Milenio Diario`
newscast at L-V times, 0600 into infomercial. Still no ID, but another
match for XEAU, Monterrey, since searching immediately finds:

``XEAU-AM is a radio station on 1090 AM in Monterrey, Nuevo León. It
is owned by Multimedios Radio and carries Milenio Radio along with
sister station XHFMTU-FM 103.7 HD3. Wikipedia``. Of course that does
not prove that no other 1090 station airs M.D., but surely XEAU, our
closest 1090 anyway is the one I have been hearing. As usual, KAAY
from the east can be nulled, but not the annoying 1089 het from the
700+ kW of UK synchros (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Re my ID of the 1130 station as XEYZ Aguascalientes2, still
on the AM air, Tim Hall, editor of the IRCA Mexican Log, replies,
first on the ABDX yg:

``Thanks for the update. This is very odd. I can't imagine what they
would be doing back on the air. They surrendered their AM license
almost a year and a half ago (see URL below for a copy of the
self-cancellation letter). I haven't heard anything about them being
forced to turn the AM back on (a "continuity obligation" can be
invoked if the Mexican government determines that the AM shutdown
leaves even a few people with no remaining radio or TV coverage). The
AM license was not restored as of the August 2019 IFT list. Maybe it
will show up on the next list?
http://rpc.ift.org.mx/rpc/pdfs/35226_181212173840_5224.pdf
73 Tim``

And directly Oct 21: ``For now I've added the note to the Mex list
database. I'll see if I can re-log XEYZ from the Border Inn next
weekend. Hopefully I'll catch XECHAP too, if they made their projected
on-air date of Oct 4th.

XEYZ-1130 is still including AM 1130 in their ID: 1 File 381.6 kB
https://www.w4uvh.net/20191020_2302_XEYZ_1130_web_stream_ID.mp3
...despite surrendering the AM license almost a year and a half ago.
The attached ID was taken from their web stream a few minutes ago. 73
Tim`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, EI, Enid`s only NDB, 25 watts at Woodring
Airport, has not been heard since Sept 7 when it was audible along
with YYU in Kapuskasing, the latter scheduled for decommissioning Oct
10. That leaves on 341 OIN, Oberlin KS and many others listed.

It appears EI has also been. I finally visited Woodring the afternoon
of Oct 21 and asked their new diector, Deirdre Gurry, about it:
https://www.enidnews.com/news/local_news/new-airport-director-introduced-at-woodring/article_7b3a48aa-1630-51ce-b23b-1cf313604d26.html

It`s the FAA`s responsibility and I should seek out a NOTAM notice
about it, but she thinx it used to be on the south side of the runway,
and that such LW beacons are being phased out as who needs them with
GPS? Maybe it failed naturally and will not be fixed.

Here it is, as if still extant, but as of 12 September 2019:
http://www.airnav.com/cgi-bin/navaid-info?type=NDB&id=EI&name=GARFY
which was linked from everything else you need to know about KWDG:
http://www.airnav.com/airport/KWDG
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1580, Oct 21 at 1304 UT, KOKB Blackwell is
still AWOL after sunrise, leaving us to hear mariachi borracha music
from the NW = KFCS Colorado Springs, which is not supposed to go from
140 watts night to 10000 day until 1315 UT in October (1345:
November), but soon fading while KHGG AR talk ascends. By 1900 UT
check, however, KOKB is back on alone (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.2V, Oct 21 at 1335 UT, big hum and carrier around
88.3, very intermittent, blocking KWOU 88.1 during `Stardate` at
1342.5; not my transmitter and heard on at least 3 radios, again
suspected to be the rotten K202BY Family Radio translator for Enid,
otherwise AWOL. There it is again, Oct 21 at 2351 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7293.9-AM, Oct 20 at 2143, weak VP hAM S7-S3 helped by ECSS,
says he is using a 160-m dipole now; sure sounds like TimTron altho
belchless, known to hang out around here; indeed 2144 ID as WA1HLR.
His contact is much stronger S8-S9, and asks him about his WBCQ work
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Oct 21 at 1323, K6FRC HIFER beacon from Patterson
CA; seems I usually hear it around this time rather than later in the
day when MUF should be higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2004 monitoring. Confirmed Sunday
Oct 20 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, S8-S6.

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 at 0130 on WRMI 9395 VP; 7780 JBA.

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, VP.

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 from 0301:40 on Area 51 webcast (after
a flurry of F-words; standard disclaimer); and at 0314, S9+10 on WBCQ
5130- but considerable storm noise from the other side of OKC

Also confirmed UT Monday Oct 21 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S9 but noisy.

Next:
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW
0830 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [another episode]
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

NEW TIME FOR WORLD OF RADIO ON WRMI: Saturday 1300 on 15770 to the NE.
Tnx to Ivo Ivanov who noticed this on Oct 19. I had asked Jeff for
some time, any time on Saturday since all the previous ones had gone
away. No reply, and skedgrid still shows blank spaces for System D
15770 at 1300-1400 on Sat & Sun; on weekdays that hour has variety
programming, unlike TOMBS before 1300 and Supreme Master TV after 1400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.00, Sunday Oct 20 at 2127, I notice that WBCQ-6 is on
with preaching in English about Yahweh (sp?); only S9+15/20 so
probably still on the 60 degree beam awayward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12070, Oct 21 at 1318, spurblob from WEWN which on
fundamental 12050 is distorted with hum and crackling carrier, S9+20,
much stronger than usual, Radio Católica Mundial ID (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 910, Oct 21 at 1243 UT, Iowa Public Radio is seeking a
professional engineer, i.e. WSUI Iowa City, onetime WORLD OF RADIO
affiliate; soon losing out to an iHeart station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1440, Oct 21 at 1239 UT, KEXB Dallas is still running the
Spanish/English loop about KTNO moved to 620; now with growing CCI
probably Topeka (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1700, Oct 21 at 1302 UT, open carrier/dead air from KKLF
Richardson TX, as confirmed by DF; KBGG Des Moines modulation also
audible by rotation of the DX-398 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
