** JAPAN. 7380, Oct 29 at 0705, Japanese S9+20/30 direct. NHK from
Yamata 0700-0900 for S America: a very strange transmission at 4-6 am
local in Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, even earlier elsewhere. Are JJ
ethnix typically early-risers? OTOH, hits Hawai`i on the way at only
9-11 pm local (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Oct 29 at 2214, JBA carrier, presumably
pirate Hikari FM on signature offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11930, Oct 29 at 0655, RRI English signing off, S6/S8
direct. Per EiBi, RRI is the only station foolish enough to choose
this Cuban jammer frequency! None heard now, but when capable, often
runs all night despite Martí on here only in daytime. 0630-0700 only,
Galbeni to W Europe, so also thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. Checking REE program info via the WOR Hitlist, we see that
there are no English podcasts since 22 Oct = UT Mon Oct 21 at 2200;
yet the ``hoy`` Tuesday Oct 29 program alleges there is/was English at
0000 &  0400 local = 2300 & 0300 UT - when no SW frequencies were on
air! Altho some blackouts had occurred, there were other signals
audible on the bands around 2300. There is a certain disconnect among
the program producers, the SW operators, and the websiters.

Tue Oct 29 at 1620, into UTwente, bigsigs in Spanish on 12030 and
17755, ME and Africa beams which start at 1600 M-F. 9690 & 17715 for
N&S America start at 1900 weekdays. Confirmed at 1917 into UTwente,
JBA direct, 17715 slightly better than 9690, which is really too low
for a daypath at this hour: too drastic a drop from 18 to 10 MHz.
UTwente also hears 17755 poorly, not direct. But shall there really be
any token English at 2300 M/W/F? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960.003-, Oct 29 at 2259, Chinese music with
interruptions, 2300 timesignal and Mandarin announcement, S9/+15 into
UTwente: much like yesterday, no trace of VOT English to us (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2266 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday October

Also confirmed Tuesday October 29 at 1300 and AGAIN new at 1400 on
WRMI 9955, S5/S8 JBA direct, but at 1428 into Georgia SDR, S9+35!

** U S A. 1060, Oct 29 at 0640 UT tune-in, ID as ``The music you grew
up with, WQNZ? 1060 and 93.5 FM``, more mentions of WQNZ? and area
code 931. NO, per NRC AM Log, it is really WQMV, Waverly TN, 4 WATTS
at night, 1000 daypower, U1 non-direxional. Waverly is west of
Nashville, about halfway to Arkansas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Glenn, regarding 1540 kHz: KGBC is now running a Spanish
language Tropical music format branded as “Power 105.3”.  The station
was recently off the air for a few days, but is back now.  KGBC is
nominally the originating station for translator K287BQ in Houston.
KGBC is audible at my NW Harris County location during the day, but no
usable night reception as it is lost in the co-channel pileup on the
frequency. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas``

Stephen, Tnx for info. I could not match programming to skewed
frequency but can you tell if it`s about 1539.95 in the daytime?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7570, Oct 29 at 2217, JBA carrier direct; could WRMI be
attempting a comeback? But at 2241 into Maryland SDR, no broadcast
audio, just dittering. EiBi reminds us 7570 could be Canadian HF
trading ute, or V. of Korea. 9455 WRMI remains silent (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21460.05 approx., Oct 29 at 2208 JBA USB, sounds like
ham QSO in English, maybe two stations; hams out of band, or spurs?
Hardly necessary with very little occupancy below 21450 tho surely
propagable if 28 MHz is (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 5910, Oct 28 at 0313, no signal from CRI relay via La

long-gone from 5910 but still in Aoki, not EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CUBA. 7335, Oct 28 at 0307, pulse jamming against nothing, since R.
Martí is now on 7355, and 7435. So the jamming is back, wasting
precious pesos of electrical energy. RM changes its 7 MHz usage per
season for no obvious reason, but confusing incompetent jammers who
don`t pay attention to HFCC. RM so strong that cannot tell if jammed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Oct 28 at 0306, S9+10/20 of jazz, the
OPOB. These say it`s Wasteland Radio, a.k.a. Dilligaf Radio:

** SPAIN. Mon Oct 28 at 2245, REE found NOWHERE into UTwente or
Maryland SDRs, on A24 17855, 17715, 15520, 15390 nor B24 9690, 11940,
12030, 17755 frequencies! There have been some R1 blackouts per WWV
but there ought to be at least traces of something. Of course, I was
preparing to check if English would occur at B24 time of 2300,
especially on B24 for NAm, 9690. ¡¿Qué pasa?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9610, Oct 27 at 2205, VOT English new time from
2130, and frequency, with `Letterbox` theme - just starting? NO,
ending. S9+20/25 into UTwente but heavy CCI. B24 EiBi shows CNR8 in
Mongolian, 100 kW, 286 degrees from Beijing site at 2055-0600. TRT
should have avoided this frequency.

5960.004-, Oct 27 at 2300, TS and s/on VOT English to NAm, new time
and frequency for B24, S9+35/40 into UTwente, but there is an
understation. This time it`s PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi in Mandarin, at
2300-0300 per EiBi, 2330-1800 per HFCC. I know this will be unusable
direct: yes, at 2307 S8/S9 below the noise level, but Urumqi probably
not a problem here. They need to have a `shoulder` season with
something less drastic than a drop from 12 to 6 MHz. Also, domestic
clock changes should not be imposed upon international listeners.

`Letterbox` starts at 2314, with another hostess, Sylvia? Says they
are trying different program presenters each week. Mentions that
frequencies have changed but no details, look them up somewhere. I try
to copy those called but as usual hard to understand the names. 1)
Burnett?, England. 2) Christer Brunström, Sweden, 20/10 report, again
against the multi-lingual ID filler reels, but guess what: VOT are
adding some more langs, including Norwegian, Korean, Japanese! for
total of 47. 3) India, about the Dewali festival. Music break at 2323.
5) Mohamed Bashir?, Pakistan. 6) Ricky Hein, from a phone call, wants
skeds. 7) Graham?, Indiana. 8) Chris ---, Canada. Closing with PO Box
33 address again, instead of 333 - which is correct? Does not spell
Yenishehir. 2332 music. 2335 L`Box outro (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9650, Oct 28 at 0606, YL in Turkish presumed news, with
stingers, S6/S8 direct; at 04-07 per EiBi, i.e. ex-13635 which was
easy every night but not logged (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Oct 28 at 2258 and still 2309, NO signal from
VOT English to us, which succeeded yesterday, but plenty signal from
Xinjiang PBS into UTwente, 5960.000 with Chinese music, dead air, 2300
5+1 TS and Xinjiang ID in Mandarin, i.e. EAST TURKISTAN. TRT should
QSY ASAP if they can even get on the air, but they need to inform
everyone whereto. I tuned UTwente around between 5800 and 6000, not
encountering any obvious TRT. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 9775, Oct 28 at 0312, VOA English with African accent,
about *rump being called fascist, S9+10/20. Now sked at 03-05 via
BOTSWANA and per Aoki, *jammed because can be heard in China, where
ESL is unfortunately rampant (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2266 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 27 at 2000 ex-1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz, S9
into UTwente across Europe; after 7285 s/off announcement, not checked
yet whether really on 7290 in B24.

Also confirmed Sunday October 27 at 2230 ex-2130 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003+, S8/9+5 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday October 27 at 2330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+15 into S
Texas SDR, like last week instead of scheduled 7570, remaining
absent.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 28 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/15

** U S A [and non]. WHAT`S GOING ON WITH WAVESCAN, from Ray Robinson:

``Hi, Glenn. We haven't communicated in some time, but I trust you are
well. You may be interested in some of the fallout from AWR's decision
to end the use of all shortwave relay sites.

Jeff White and I were provided with the new schedule for KSDA about 10
days or so ago, and the immediately obvious thing was that there were
no English language programs on the schedule at all, including no
Wavescan. We have sought clarification from a number of people at AWR,
but have not received any response. No one at AWR has informed us that
Wavescan has been canceled, but it seems that is their intention, at
least in so far as their own platforms are concerned. Jose Jacob in
India has confirmed that Wavescan was not broadcast via KSDA on
Sunday, and furthermore this week's edition has not been posted on
AWR's podcast page ( https://awr.org/program/engmi_wav ).

However, the show will very much continue in production with Jeff and
I, just as before, but I guess now just as 'Wavescan' and not 'AWR
Wavescan' any longer. To be clear, neither Jeff nor I have any
association with AWR, or with the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Dr.
Adrian Peterson, Wavescan's Founder and Editor-in-Chief did of course,
but he is now in his mid-90's, and he retired from any active
involvement with the show some 18 months ago.

So, we are now in active negotiations to get the show carried by one
or two other shortwave stations with coverage into Asia. It will
continue on WRMI, WWCR, VOH-Africa and IRRS. And, there is now a new
podcast platform for the show, at:
https://wavescan.podomatic.com

This has the shows from the past couple of months, including the
edition that aired yesterday on some stations.

We see Wavescan as complementary to what you do on WOR, and not as a
competitor. I hope you'll help us get the word out that Wavescan is
continuing, and where it can be found.

Thank you, Ray Robinson, Los Angeles, Strategic Communications Group,
Voice of Hope World Radio Network, www.voiceofhope.com ``

My reply: ``Ray, Good to hear from you. Certainly I will publicize
what is happening. It seems you have been treated rather shoddily. I`m
not that surprised since it has long seemed to me that AWR HQ
considered WS not really part of AWR, not including it on official
schedules, at least when aired on non-AWR stations. I agree our
programs are complementary with your emphasis on history and mine on
the latest info. 73, Glenn`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, Oct 28 at 0311, WMLK with DEJOM, S9+20/37 direct,
stronger than neighbor in more ways than one, 9265 WINB. Now sensible
frequency usage at night, ex-15150, but why target Europe where it`s 3
or 4 am? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1539.95 approx., Oct 28 at 2200, obvious het vs 1540.00
stations. Nothing this far off in mwoffsets, but I remember a few
years ago KGBC Galveston TX was showing up exactly here; a bit early
before sunset now but maybe not too early on hiband. See my report of
Oct 11, 2020 at 0055. At 2330 I check the W5GMD Houston KiwiSDR, but
it appears to be deaf on MW: can`t even hear or see 740 KTRH! Try
Maurice LA SDR: signal pileup on 1540 but low audible het and SAM does
read out -22 to - 95 Hz. IIRC KGBC has had a number of problems last
few years (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PORTUGAL. 21449 USB, Oct 27 at 1451, CR6T calling QRZ and making
quick contest contacts, barely inside the ``15`` mb. Such a call
implies Portuguese colonies but now this is merely Portugal, QRZ.com:
``CR6T Portugal flag Portugal, RUI SANTOS (TONY), QTA DO VALE -
SILVEIRINHO, PENACOVA 3360, Portugal``. His CQ zone is 14, i.e.
western Europe.

[non] Meanwhile the adjacent 13 m SWBC band is absolutely empty tho
lotsa Eurosigs could obviously propagate if energized. Axually 21449
is in the *13*, not 14, not 15 m band, the boundary between 13 and 14
about 21321 kHz. At 1451, HFCC B24 shows all these could/should be on
air with somethings: 21470, 21485, 21490, 21540, 21560, 21575, 21600,

** U S A. 4840, UT Sun Oct 27 at 0315, WWCR again with `Australian DX
Report`, Bob Padula. It`s different than previous ones, but still
OBVIOUSLY OVER FOUR YEARS OLD, from mid-2000. Prop report: IPS Sydney
says 10.7 cm flux is about 70; SS number 5; two SS regions in view and
another one soon; very low; HF prop above 10 MHz after dark
unreliable.

Then his routine logs, 2030/2100 UT on the 31 and 49m bands. I copy
them all for amusement and historical record but will not foist them
all upon you again; they include 9420 Voice of Greece, lots of CRI and
CNR1, who cares even then? Also a partial Reach Beyond Australia
schedule. 0325 a bit of music, then once again notifies that HFCC for
Bulgaria in August has been canceled due to COVID-19, will be online
only. And gives partial ``B-20`` -- there, he said it, sked for
International Radio for Disaster Relief [which AFAIK, has NEVER been
activated despite plenty of disasters]. ``I hope you found this
interesting and helpful`` -- NO, WORSE THAN NO! Way to go, disservice
WWCR. BTW they carried WORLD OF RADIO for many years, which was full
of accurate timely info every week, but how should they know? They
gave it up but keep this?!?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, Oct 27 at 1453, S9 Yahweh stuff: WMLK have finally
come to their senses or consulted Propagation 101, that higher
frequencies are best for day paths, lower for night. Until B24, 15150
toward Europe was running late in the night and 9275 in the daytime,
local afternoons. But now the HFCC sked is: 12-17 15150, 1730-2230 NEW
17525, 2300-0400 9275, all 300 kW at 53 degrees daily except
7=Sabbathday. So they are allowing one semi-hour to accomplish
frequency changes? Off 15150 by 1700. At 1735, NEW 17524.999 is on,
S9/+15 into UTwente with amateur hymnody; preacher thru 1800 with no
ID. 1829 DEJOM himself outroes, ID. But they can`t make his ghost say
``17525``? AI not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 15490, Oct 27 at 1455, S Asian song S8/S9. HFCC B24 shows
VR in Tamil at 1450-1510, between Hindi & Malayalam, 250 kW at 89
degrees, another example of SMG putting far too much signals in wrong
direxions -- antenna azimuths messed up or simply insufficiently
screened backwards? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11934.894+, Oct 27 at 1930, S9+25 into UTwente, ME
music and Arabic talk from Rep. of Yemen R., via SAUDI ARABIA, remains
very reliably offset like this, and with no chirping for a long time.
Riyadh abstains from HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BONAIRE. 24955 USB, Oct 25 at 2214, PJ4KY calling QRZ Japan, and
causing co-channel pileups. QRZ.com: ``PJ4KY Bonaire flag Bonaire,
Bert Van Oort, All QSL Via M0URX, Kralendijk, Bonaire`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28170 CW, Oct 25 at 2204, VVV DE VA3XCD/B, slow beacon
marker repeating, same as logged at same time Oct 14, q.v.; and again,
10m band is chock-full of more beacons and phones (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Oct 26 at 0149, JBA signal presumed pirate
Hikari FM. Seldom can I get enough for direct listenability.

6960 AM, also JBA carrier here, since it`s UT Saturday, presumed Ball
Smacker Radio on usual schedule. Stronger than a JBAC on 6925 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27224.8 and 27185.1 approx., Oct 25 at 1454, Enid CB
pirate relaying 105.5 gospel music on K288FX, translator of K-Love,
KYLV 88.9 OKC. Can barely make them out vs all the skip/local QRM
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. Ken Zichi, who also monitors SNR English broadcasts and must
do a lot of post-broadcast online research to get details, identifies
the Lebanon correspondent as: ``Elsa Yazbek Charabati (I guess she got
married!)``.

17855, 17715, 15520, 15390, again on Friday Oct 25 at 2200, REE
continues in Spanish instead of token English, same as happened
Wednesday. Then and now, online program sked still claims it should be
in English today. Despite VG reception on NAm frequency direct, I`m so
pissed I don`t even try to listen for content. What`s going on with
them, blowing away English without notice? I have not paid attn if
they announced email for the English dept., and can`t find it on
website.

Next chance will be Monday Oct 28 at new time of 2300 and frequency
9690, 11940, 12030, 17755. One sked version from REE itself shows
17775, presumably a typo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785+, Oct 25 at *2159.5, JBA carrier cuts on direct from
VOT English, but gone again by 2201 after I check Spain and RMI; and
no come back, another try-but-fail, nothing even unto UTwente at 2227
check; and not on 9875 either, possible overrun from previous
transmission. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: ``Glenn, A transmitter operator is scheduled to be at
the transmitter site, the first of the year. He and his wife are
excited to be at the site and operate the transmitters. His presence
will eliminate small problems that have prevented normal operation of
the transmitters. Some of these problems cannot be corrected by remote
control. He has started to move his furniture and personal items in. I
will not have to remember your Friday night program and keep the
transmitter ON. George McClintock 10-25-2024`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Oct 25 at 0635, WRMI-5 is OFF again despite 24-hour
schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Heard Glenn Hauser's World of Radio on 9855 presumed WRMI
0110 UT. Weak and fadey into Crump, TN 10/1 using a small Sihuadon
R108. Kevin Redding, Crump, TN, ABDX``

I just saw this as gmail sidetrax some msgs - surely you mean 9955, a
WRMI frequency? News to me that WOR would be on at that time, 9 pm EDT
Monday, when their sked shows Alameda Bible Fellowship. Can you
confirm or reconfirm this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3265+ & 5130-, Oct 25 at 2358, no signals of WBCQ into
Maryland SDR - NH SDR is closed for some contest. 7490 -66 Hz =
7489.934, S9+10/15, FKB gets one-minute warning and quits, Chariots of
Fire theme, IDs, and 0000 Oct 26 `WTO` opening `AAAWWW`; no disclaimer
but immediately obvious it`s a rerun of last week, as Allan says his
gorgeous wife dresses up for the radio, and they survived H. Milton a
week ago.

Larry Will tells me: ``Good signal, s20, from Monticello on 7490 at
0000, with a repeat of last week's show from Florida. Al and family
suffered a great tragedy this week when the potato barn he owns at the
junction of Route 1 and Britton Road burned to the ground on Monday
night.``

Story starts with photo and this caption:
``MONTICELLO, Maine -- October 23, 2024 -- A Monday night fire at an
old potato house in Monticello was a total loss. The blaze started in
this end of the building where an office and Sea of Green Inc, a
medical marijuana caregiver business, was located. The second floor of
the building vanished. (Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli | Houlton Pioneer
Times)``
``1 comment Ronald Ouellette a day ago edited --- Ahhhh as they say,
up in smoke, a little more than Antiques. Growing indoor weed takes a
lot of juice and the electrician was asleep`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 26111.1, Oct 25 at 1450, something very distorted and
weak, seems like a broadcast, not resolvable by FM, AM or SSB tuning.
I was checking for 26110 FM, KMK282, broadcast auxiliary in
California. Have long had carrier about here, presumed local birdie,
But not even that was audible around 2200 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
