** KOREA SOUTH. 5990, Oct 1 at 1311, VP talk unknown language, but
something new. Soon IDed by Ron Howard heard a few hours earlier as
Echo of Hope - VOH, ex-5995 among a bunch of other frequency shifts by
such clandestines, also 3980 ex-3985, 6348 ex-6350. Voice of the
People 3905 ex-3910, 3475 ex-3480, 6595 ex-6600. Their other
frequencies unchanged. ``Thanks very much to the timely alerts from
both Hiroshi and Hiroyuki Komatsubara, as to these changes.`` Ron`s
full report in the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, Sept 30 at 1852 UT, KOKB Blackwell is back on air
after silence a few days, during which ``Triple Play Sports`` was
changed to ``Double Play`` --- just kidding (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 27454.8-LSB & 27454.9-LSB, Sept 30 at 2130-2137+, strong
local QSO between two good ole boys about weather etc., not on exactly
same frequency, no IDs. Absolutely no skip or local signals on any
official CB channels, not even major CB calling/traffic frequencies,
so I kept tuning into freeband for anything at all. Maybe this is a
regular Enid hangout (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11670, Sept 30 at 2123, no signal from REE`s African
frequency, nor has there been for at least several days whenever
checked; other ones are better but not totally reliable: 12030, 11940,
9690. Apparently one transmitter stays down, altho HFCC
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A19&broadc=REE
shows these imaginary/alternate frequencies on the 161-degree beam:
11530, 15350, 15360, 21620 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2001 monitoring: confirmed via
UTwente SDR, Monday Sept 30 at 1816.5 on 7290 from IRRS; big open
carrier came on at *1812.6; music at 1814.4 instead of talk fragment,
Aïda march at 1815.0. VG signal but some fading/distortion, better on
ECSS tuning. HFCC registers this as 0 degrees/ND from ``Milano`` so
it`s no help about true spex. Observer, Bulgaria says it`s 100 kW, 300
degrees from Saftica, the third site in ROMANIA. Like Tsiganeshti,
it`s slightly north of Bucharest. Guess what, 300 degrees from there
aims right at London and Miami, and not far off UTwente. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 650, October 1 at 0611 UT, surprised to hear news instead of
music, not WSM? No, soon finishing ``CBS News Update``, back to WSM
singing ID; odd time to drop it in. Seems to me WSM was originally NBC
for many years (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 820, October 1 at 0609 UT, country music under WBAP but soon
fading up and overtaking it by 0613 on E-W longwire. Like last night,
WWBA Largo FL is on 50 kW day power instead of 1 kW night. Meanwhile,
I see that WWBA has been heard as far away as BC, where FL is quite
rare (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 870, October 1 at 1228 UT, Spanish ads with Dallas
addresses, including a church, so definitely KFJZ Fort Worth in new
REL:SS format; squeezed between WWL and XETAR, about to fade out
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880-DSB, October 1 at 1232 UT, Western Indian Network
tri-station ID for KTBA 760, KHAC 880 and KWIM 104.9; 1233 `Ask Pastor
Mike` about suicide; all in English. KHAC officially Tse Bonito NM.
Easily separable from KRVN close to right angles; and KHAC obviously
still a major cheater, U1 10000/430 long before October sunrise 1315
UT (November: 1345) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1010, October 1 at 1235 UT, RCC chanting, in morning mass as
on Radio Católica Mundial, from the direxion of and no doubt out of
KTNZ Amarillo TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1090, October 1 at 0619 UT, two strong stations at about
equal level thus making a very heavy SAH of 256/minute = 4.27 Hz. One
is RCC talk in English, sounds like M. Angelica, obviously EWTN`s KEXS
Excelsior Springs (Kansas City market) MO, supposedly a 10 KW
daytimer; the other, as soon it IDs, KAAY Little Rock. Catholix vs
Protestants! BTW, I remarked that the NRC AM Log does not deal with
STAs, which is true in the case of 1520 KOKC, but for KAAY it shows
STA U1 5000/5000 instead of U2 50000/50000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARMENIA. 9300, Monday Sept 30 at 1313, TWR IS at S3-S5, 1315
opening announcement unknown language; again at 1359 TWR IS is JBA.
Per Aoki/NDXC, convoluted schedule of TWR India via Yerevan-Gavar for
day 2 shows starting 1315 in Mun language; 1400 going from Hin-di to
Kum. So what are these obscure minolitylangs? Per EiBi`s readme.txt
MUN Mundari: India-Jharkhand, Odisha (1.1m) [unr]
KUM Kumaoni/Kumauni: India-Uttarakhand (2m) [kfy]
At least the gospel huxters are countering Modi`s Hindi-above-all
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 990, UT Monday Sept 30 at 0604 UT, CBW Winnipeg is the only
CBC station we get dependably, now opening its overnight relays of
foreign stations, 1-5v am local, with `DW WorldLink`, first about
illegal migration from Bangladesh to India. Been a long time since
I`ve checked the schedule, so here it is for this week:

https://www.cbc.ca/programguide/weekly/2019/09/30/cbc_radio_one/?t=1569858526733

Tue-Sat however the first hour is `The World` from USA which we can
hear the previous afternoon on KOSU. Display does not give the country
source for the other programs, some of them familiar from Monocle, BBC
or ABC, NPR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5990, Sept 29 at 0537, RHC is here on wrong frequency,
supposed to be only for CRI relays at 23-01! S9+20 song in Spanish, so
it is English or Spanish service? Soon announcement in English, and //
much weaker 5040, 6100 S9+30, much stronger than 6165 S9/+10 and JBM.
Nothing on 6000 which is where it`s supposed to be, and now 5990
splashes upon 5985 WRMI which is on this late Mondays only with gospel
huxter. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 11860, Sunday Sept 29 at 2145, Radio Martí, Grimesland,
with silly baseball game coverage, two guys with crowd noise, etc.,
apparently live involving the Cardenales and speculating about the
Serie Mundial. I don`t see how béisbol-crazy dentroCubans could not be
listening to this. Not much jamming audible here. Also on 11930 and
presumably 9565 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Quick check Sunday Sept 29 at 2130 UT: 1580
KOKB Blackwell OK is still OFF; so is 1130 KLEY Wellington KS; but
1280 KSOK Arkansas City KS is still on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. Re my lament that KM6 calls are no longer Midway,
Jim K5JG, replies on the ptsw group:

``Glen[n] et all, Changing the prefixes for overseas entities was done
around 1979-1980 when the entire Amateur Radio callsign structure was
changed. I remember reading at the time that the FCC was forecasting
that they were just a few years away from running out of callsigns
under the old structure and came up with the present scheme to
mitigate that possibility.

It always seemed exotic and exciting to hear KM6 (Midway), KX6
(Kwajalein Island), KC6 (Eastern Caroline Islands), KG6 (Guam /
Marianas Islands), KW6 (Wake Island), or KV4 (Virgin Islands) coming
back to your call. Note that some Pacific island entities that were US
possessions are now independent countries and have non-US prefixes.

Nowadays, KH-something and KP-something is just boring.

When the restructuring occurred, no one was forced to change their
existing callsign as it only applied to new callsigns. So, not only is
it theoretically possible for a Guam Islander with an old KG6xx call
to fall right between two California KG6xx callsigns in the FCC
database, but one could contact two Guam stations in a row, one a KG6
and the other a KH2! Makes things even more confusing.

Another good source for info on deleted US prefixes is:
http://www.ac6v.com/oldprefix.php#OLD
and scroll down a little. 73, Jim K5JG``

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2001 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
September 29 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, VP with ECSS at S5-S7.

Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 30 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair S8-S9; but
// 9395 is JBA, as the MUF is degraded leaving lower but sidebeam 7780
better here.

Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 30 at 0230, JBA on WRMI 7780.

Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 30 starting at 0258.5 on Area 51
webcast; WBCQ 5130.0 is VP.

Also confirmed UT Monday Sept 30 at 0330 on WRMI 9955 JBA? But OK on
webcast. Next:

1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania to WNW
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 episodes] ND

0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 820, Sept 30 at 0610 UT, unusual music way over talker WBAP
which normally owns 820 here at night --- 0611 UT singing ID as WWBA
and gospel country song. U4 50/1 kW WWBA in Largo FL (TSP market, not
Key Largo!) has got to be on day power and pattern, but major lobes
NNW/SSE, not so good for us, so possibly ND now? If they do this
again, should make it very DXable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 990, Sept 30 at 1222 UT, turning back on still tuned here
after CBW, obits concerning Cassville and Monett, i.e. KRMO Cassville
MO, U1 2500/47 watts. OK since Sept sunrise is officially 1200 UT, but
not tomorrow, October 1230. These towns are in the SW corner of MO,
and KWAM Memphis no problem by now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1060, Sept 30 at 1226 UT, M&W chat in Spanish from
NW/SE, which rules out KXPL and KIJN in far west TX, and all of
Mexico. So what SS are on that axis in new NRC AM Log? KDYL South Salt
Lake UT, U1 10000/149 but this is far before sunrise there. Aside from
language, I would expect primary hearance from KRCN Longmont CO, U1
50000/111/psra 500, but it`s also not sunrise there until 1245 UT
(Oct: 1315 UT), and listed as EWTN in English. Furthermore, by 1229 UT
I am getting CCI from another SS also NW/SE with a song. There are no
other possibilities unless something has flipped, and even then hardly
anything on that axis. Furthermore the first station is also producing
a LAH, significantly off-frequency I think to the plus. But mwoffsets
http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1060
does not show any US station far enough off either side to produce a
low audible het, including the ones I have mentioned. Max would be +13
from MN (but XERDO Matamoros was plus 77 Hz in 2015; but that would be
almost due south). At 1240 UT I have switched to the R75 so no DFing,
now hearing a ``gloria`` song that seems about 30 Hz minus.
Ideas? KIJN is shown as spot-on .000 altho I recall it used to be
significantly off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIEID. 4949.55-USB approx., Sept 30 at 1257, very weak 2-way
in Spanish *not* referring to putas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6950-USB, Sept 29 at 2134, 2-way Spanish ``puta madre``
INTRUDERS into our pirate band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9845, Sept 29 at 2142, YL in tonal Asian language, but
cuts off the air in less than a minute! Only thing Aoki listed is CNR1
from Beijing 572 site, not a jammer, at 2025-2400. But from what
little I heard, did not think it was Mandarin. Maybe something else
realized it had punched wrong frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 5952.474, Sept 29 at 0054, VP split-channel carrier must
be Radio Pio Doce, from the Twentieth Century, rarely active? or
heard, now with het against WRMI 5950, and amid its splash which is
inescapable. Aoki/NDXC shows span of RPXII is 10-01 UT which explains
why I am no longer hearing it a few minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 6180.025, Sept 29 at 0058, S9+10 of music, 0059 Brazuguese
announcement about ``música popular brasileira`` (MPB), the talk audio
somewhat suptorted, as RNA is here instead of no signal on 11780
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammers, Sept 29 at 1325-1332 during Sunday evening
cultural hour of serious/western music like 6180: 6230, 9180, 9215,
10160, 10960, 11120, 11460, some of them JBA carriers at known SOH
spots. At 1358 another JBAC on 14980, but none in the 12s, 13s (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9640, Sept 28 at 2208, this RHC is *not* producing
a buzz field from 10 to 30 kHz either side. Proof that it is not true
that I *never* have anything good to say about RHC. Carriers from
Brasil`s 9630.4 apparition and presumably from Guinea very weak 9650
are unimpeded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 7380, Sept 28 at 2212, S9+25 of dead air from RHC when the
African service in French is supposed to emit. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Sept 29 at 0600, RHC English is S9+10/20 with
sufficient modulation after dead air a few minutes earlier; while //
6000 S9+10 and 6165 S9 are both undermodulated. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13700-AM, Sept 29 at 1336, spurblobs at 66-67 kHz intervals
with F# tone while programming is about equally audible in FM and AM
modes unlike 13700; wide but center peaking at approx.: 13503, 13566,
13634 which is S8; 13766, 13833, but no 13900. At 1410 more detected:
13435 vs CODAR; 13363 JBA, 13304 JBA but uncomfortably close to NY
Radio ATC on 13306-USB. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 5960, Sept 29 at 0130, beepery during Kim`s radiogram
minute within The Mighty Farty KBC, out of Nederland via Nauen, but
only S9-S7 and noisy. Propagation degraded as WWV reported:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 28 September follow.
Solar flux 67 and estimated planetary A-index 27.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0000 UTC on 29 September was 4.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, Sept 27 at 2226, bits of music at S7, 2227
ID as ``---- Call? Radio``, more rock, 2233 country. These logs say
it`s Skunk Hole Radio, first heard directly as far away as Germany:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,58569.0.html
My first scan of the pirate band shortly after 2200 found zero
activity (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6900-USB, Sept 27 at 2227, S8 rock music, but off by
2232. Only two other logs of this, as unID:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,58567.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 28 at 2205, again today no trace of VOT English
to N America, just heavy RTTY from presumed NAU PR. MANY other (but
not all) VOT transmissions are being reported missing by Wolfgang
Bueschel and Ivo Ivanov; and/or in some cases, frequencies wandering
all over the band from their proper spot, not just a few Hz or 0.7 kHz
offsets as before. Something`s VERY wrong at the Emirler transmitter
site of VOT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7234-LSB, Sept 28 at 2220, ``WW0WWV special event station
calling CQ`` but not much response after several tries. No pileups
here unlike some other specials, as below. One contact I think with op
at Fort Collins IDing self as Fred, AF4BW. Someone gives him a call
off-frequency at 7233.5-LSB. Recheck at 0109 Sept 29, WW0WWV now slid
to 7235-LSB and generating pileups.

First after 2200 I was checking 14238-USB, but no WW0WWV heard there
and only a few other phone signals on 20m; too close to Ft Collins.

Mick Delmage, Sherwood Park, AB, had tipped us on the WOR iog earlier:
``For those that want to hear special event station WW0WWV, they are
making it very well to the east on 14238u kHz at 1930 UT Sept 28. 73``
Maybe these will be applicable again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. As I am hunting for WW0WWV, find some other special events
on 40m.

7246.0-LSB, Sept 28 at 2214. Some station who fails to give his own
call keeps uttering QRZ; those calling him don`t mention his call
either, only their own, a gross failure of operational etiquette. He
has trouble copying contact calls so they repeat theirs over and over
fonetikaly. (BTW, some editors insist on ``correcting`` my Hauserisms
which are making a point, or at least enlivening the text.) Serial
number is 0388 during what sounds like ``Park to park contest`` but
not sure of the keyword park (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7184-LSB, Sept 28 at 2225, N1O calling CQ. Such a call must
be something special. Indeed, QRZ.com leads to this page, which as
usual cannot be linked directly even when logged in:

``N1O USA
OSCAR NORRIS Ham of the Century
P.O. BOX 622
McAdenville, NC 28101

CQ CQ CQ --- ​IN HONOR OF THE HAM OF THE CENTURY OSCAR NORRIS W4OXH

On September 25th Oscar will be 102 years young (born 1917).
From September 20th thru September 29th 2019 we will be running a
special event to honor Oscar. The event will begin at 00:01 UTC
September 20th (September 19th) and end at 11:00 pm on the 29th.

Oscar is still very much active on 2 meters, 70cm and DMR.
Oscar has made contacts all over the world on D-Star and DMR.
Oscar is totally blind and has the ability to work Amatuer Radio
(licensed since 1949). Oscar can be found most of the time on the
444.450 W4CQ repeater of the Charlotte Amateur Radio Club.

STATIONS OPERATING UNDER THE N1O CALL SIGN
Here's a list of stations we have that will be using the N1O special
event call sign and their operator number.

# 1 Tony N4ATJ, #2 Gary Whitt W5GDW, #3 Robert W7CSA, #4 Fred W4FAC, #
5 Gary Holland KN4RAB, #6 John NJ4Z, #7 Craig KN4EHZ, #8 David W4JL,
#9 Howard WB4UD, #10 John C. N2JWC, #11 Kevin WA9VFD, #12 David N1DDC,
#13 Brian WB4GS, #14 Bob W4RWS, #15 Rodney W2ROD, #16 Darcy K4DQP, #17
Elliott KN4MGP, #18 Dalton W4WXL and #19 Mack W4ZFD.

Bonus Station --- Oscar Norris W4OXH. He will be working from time to
time, so see if you can contact him. He will be operating under the
call sign of W4OXH/N1O. He will be spotted on DX Summit and DX
Watch...``

So apparently I was not hearing Oscar himself but who knows which one
of those guys honoring him (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7180-LSB, Sept 29 at 0107, W4D, ``special event honoring the
[fifth?] military veterans``; also with an AM carrier at 0108, surely
not VOBMEritrea this early. CQ in the clear at 0133 says ``honoring
all military veterans`` --- thank you very much! 0326 still there
calling CQ. QRZ.com explains:
``W4D USA 75th anniversary of D-Day Special Event
W4ETB, Edward Brady, 2901 SKYE DRIVE, Fayetteville, NC 28303 USA``

OK, but Sept 29 is nowhere near the anniversary of D-Day in June
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2001 monitoring: On Sat Sept 28,
Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reports on HLR: ``Fair signal of WOR at 0631 on
6190 CUSB, edition 2001``

Confirmed UT Sunday September 29 at 0327 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about
13 minutes into at Chukotka, so started circa 0314; good S9+10 vs
storm noise. This is currently the only chance to hear WOR on local
Saturday in N America as 4 previous SWBC times on WRMI have been
dropped one by one, as latest confirmed gone from 9955 at 2100. But
there remain a number of airings on Fridays & Sundays. Next:

2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE
0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 7780 to NE

** U S A.. 9389.238, Sept 29 at 0119, very weak rough carrier in
sideband splash of 9395 WRMI. Gary Vance & Ken Zichi in Michigan ARE
Tipsheet reported hearing this ``almost always there`` suspected
parasitic out of WRMI transmitter, so I go looking for it. But there
is no match on the 9400+ side of WRMI. I could have assumed it was
something local out of my QRMing electronix (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6160v, Sept 29 at 0057, no signal from this WBCQ, on a
Saturday night, still not repaired after last night`s failure; or
sporadic activity anyway? It would have been better than 5130 for
`Lumpy Gravy Radio Show` as I tried to hear it at 0130, reading S9 but
undermodulated in the noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6115, Sept 28 at 2230, ``Come Together`` tune, quite
out-of-character programming from WWCR; midway thru VORW now scheduled
Saturdays 22-23 as ``VROW``; everything else on this frequency 22-01
UT daily is either political or religious; and with the #1 transmitter
squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, Sept 29 at 0541, WWCR-1 instead of TOMBS scheduled,
open carrier/dead air except for squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Sat Sept 28 at 2346, WTWW-2 is on but no `Theatre
Organ in the Ozarx`, rather hamstuff from Ted. By 0020 Sept 29 has
defaulted to automated music requests; 0128 Ted promoting
auto-requests only to be aired during ``last hour``, 11 pm-12 CT
[04-05 UT] and then seemingly live current TC for 8:29. I haven`t
tried, but apparently you may only choose a song from their menu, not
request absolutely anything. BTW, I am having trouble detecting the
spurcarriers at 5072.1 and 5097.9; tweakened? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Sept 29 at 0103, WTWW-1 is on again, S9+10 with
sufficient modulation of Christian identity nonsense; by 0559 recheck,
5830 is gone again. Daytime 9475 of WTWW-1 is on again at 1637 check
Sept 29 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.002, Sept 29 at 0111, WRNO is on again after missing a
week or two? with gospel rock, S9+30 and almost on-frequency (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1260, Sept 29 at 0605 UT, after weather, ``Springfield`s
NewsTalk 104-1, KSGF,`` no mention of AM frequency! And into sounds
like `When Radio Was`` which is hardly news. For 5/5 kW, not a very
good signal despite proximity; as U4 night pattern has major lobe
south, minor lobe north (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
