** AUSTRALIA [non]. `Calling All Radio Nutzzz`, occasional DX broadcast, is underway Sat Nov 30 at 1915 as GB in GB is reading a variety of DX tips, including from World of Radio. We were notified yesterday and I publicized as usual that the webcast-only attributed to Unique Radio would start at 1900, until 2200. He finishes at 1922 and back to Jen in Denver. ``In the November show the running order has been amended so that the DX Tips, Diary dates & DX Hit list can be heard in the first 30min of the program. We have special features about DX-ing Antarctica, MW antenna experiments & a report on the Oceania DX contest. Regular features include morse code course, foreign language recognition [by Dr Richard E Wood at 1925, started with example in Greek, but not identified; clips from the Nixon era] and live tuning. The next program will air on Jan 25th, 2025. Contributions of any kind are welcome - just email the show. Our Live Stream:`` http://uk4-vn.mixstream.net:8104/index.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO [and non]. 739.98 approx., Nov 30 at 0736, LAH = low audible heterodyne again against 740.00 KRMG. Suspect it`s XEQN again, maybe irregular (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non] 970, Nov 30 at 0744, ``Jingle Bells`` tune with different Spanish lyrix: ``Navidad, Navidad, hoy es Navidad...`` rather than trying to translate J.B. literally and preserve the meter. And then an ``año nuevo`` song already. Presumed the usual R. Fórmula, and maybe such an ID in passing at 0749 as it was giving way to `Red Eye Radio`. XERFR CDMX is flagship for a major nationwide network, 50/4 kW per IRCA. Or possibly 1/1 kW XEJ CdJz. Per NRC AM Log, RER would be WVOP Vidalia GA or far more likely WDAY Fargo ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2271 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday November 30 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, which has stayed on air since rough start circa 0230, VG direct, and I also check several remotes to find good reception at KFS in California, not Anchorage AK, VE6JY in Alberta, Rockport ME, Miramar FL, Bonaire. Finished at 0429, bit of music to 0430*. Also confirmed Saturday November 30 at 0930 on WRMI-2, 7730, JBA S6/S7 direct: at least I can recognize the theme and there also seems to be something else on frequency. 7730 is instead of 9455 WRMI-5, still on the skedgrid with System D at this hour, but has been totally off since hurricane damage - to antenna and/or feedline, and/or transmitter? It seems the skedgrid is aspirational rather than realistic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Also confirmed Saturday November 30 at 1553 the 1530 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001+, S9/+20 into UTwente with some usual ACI from 6165 Urumqi in Pashto at S9+5/10. Also confirmed Saturday November 30 at 1700 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday November 30 at 1830 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002-, S8/9+5 into UTwente. Next: 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM [2000/2200]; 0000 UT Sunday WTWW 9475 [suspended]; 0100 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0330vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0600]; 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW [or 7780, last 4 weeks]; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0400vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; 0930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 2030 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 1500 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2100 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy; 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975. As a noncommercial service, financial support welcome such as a contribution via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9955, Nov 29 at 0453, WRMI with a song at S9+10 but just barely modulated, less than 9790 China via Cuba on this occasion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 780, Sat Nov 30 at 0740 UT in bandscan, I happen to hit WBBM when it`s playing `Stardate`, 2-minute feature we normally try to catch at midday on KPR=KANU, QX-FM, or KUCO. But 1:40 AM CST Saturday does NOT match any of the WBBM times on website: ``Mon 12:41AM; Mon–Fri 3:41AM; Mon–Fri 9:41PM; Sat–Sun 8:41PM`` None of that can be believed without confirmation: https://stardate.org/radio/affiliates Oklahoma listings are all wrong too: wrong time on KUCO, and reversing calls for its relays in Woodward and McAlester. IMAGINARY ``KCOU-FM 91.1, Enid`` - we do have a 91.1 but it`s not KCOU and AFAIK has never carried Stardate. Even linx a website for it: clicking on https://www.kcou.org/ leads to intercept: ``Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead - Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.kcou.org. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.`` It seems there is a KCOU, but on 88.1, a student/campus radio at Columbia MO. Today`s episode about an Alabama woman hit by a meteorite 70 years ago. StarDates are often at a too-elementary level, and keep referring to planets as ``looking like a bright star``, duh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1650 kHz, Nov 30 at 0755 UT, NO continuous tone! As KSVE El Paso had been running overnight for months. Have they finally stopped, or a fluke? Instead something in English, KCJJ IA likely, as our closest, KFSW in OK is rarely audible somehow; and KBJD Denver is Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1934 UT November 30

** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Nov 29 at 0448, R. Rebelde is on mixing music and Spanish talk, only S9+10 and somewhat weaker than 5050 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 870 & 1040, Nov 29 at 0440 & 0442, exactly the same whooper/wobbler sounds overcoming WWL but undercoming WHO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** DENMARK. 25800, Nov 29 at 1610, JBA carrier but the OSOB and thus the SSOB, presumably one of very few 11mb broadcasters, World Music Radio. It has been reported lately by others in N American mornings. HFCC-registered as 10 kW ND, 24h; with 25795 & 28805 alternates in case BBC or something muscle in on 25800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21580, Nov 29 at 1615, JBA carrier, the SSOB & OSOB, i.e. RFI in Hausa this hour; followed by a bihour of French, each on slightly different SSE azimuths. 14m remains a grossly underutilized band even near solar max: not a single broadcast HFCC registered to or from the Americas, except for some irregular TDF DRM tests, or MiniTransAt, if ever on 21660 at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. 740, Nov 29 at 0750, KRMG Tulsa with no rumbling het on the minus side, nor noticed for a while now. Had been IDed as XEQN Torreón, Coahuila. Maybe gone or finally on-frequency. IRCA Mexican Log does not flag it as significantly off-frequency, but says 24h and hardly ever IDs. Need to check more earlier in evening. MWoffsets shows 739.95 as of 2024-10-12, but sked 1200-0600. Was the lowest of the low below 740. KRMG was only 0.8 Hz high as of 2024-11-22. One bimonth ago, I put XEQN on 739.97. Circa 0100 Nov 30, South TX SDR gets nothing but KTRH, and Durango2 is useless on MW. At 0227 I check direct: KRMG in clear, no trace of XEQN het (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Nov 29 at 0803, 1257, 1531 and 1721 UT chex, KCRC Enid is OFF, unusual, truly a black Friday. Maybe something failed on a holiday and no one notices or cares to fix it ASAP. Altho an original Enid station, KCRC is now totally redundant, since Chisholm Trail Broadcasting has put the same stupid sports programming on 1640 KZLS, the coverage area of which exceeds 1390, except 1390 has an advantage westward from Enid; 1640 is from a site SSE of Enid, east of Hennessey and direxional in order to reach the OKC market, while 1390 is from the studio location on Willow in northern Enid, three towers in a row, and I`m glad not to be any closer to those than I am. See UNIDENTIFIED for what else on 1390 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1670 kHz, Nov 29 circa 2015-2045 UT, surprised to find a strong and steady signal here on the caradio: certainly no real 1670 radio stations capable of reaching here in broad daylight. X-banders on 1660 KC and 1700 DFW are JBA. Playing rock music, disco, Xmasmx, and soon ``Your friend Liam[?], with more music for you on Virtual DJ Radio`` ! I am parked at the main intersexion in Enid of US 412 and US 81, a.k.a. Garriott & Van Buren. Nearby are CVS, Walgreen`s, and Integris hospital. Then I drive away in all direxions, N, E, S and W, and conclude it`s strongest just where I first found it. Steady so not mobile. However, local line noise level varies widely from block to block, which could skew my monitoring based on reception level. At home, further away, is JBA vs my own high noise level. It seems this is a thing, https://virtualdjradio.com/ -- but I seriously doubt site will reveal where, when and why VDJR could be transmitted on 1670 in Enid, so a pirate, or maybe qualifies as Part 15. Maybe will stay during holidays so I could trace it better with DFing and S-meter on a portable (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SIERRA LEONE [non]. 24975 & 24970 USB, Nov 29 at 1612, pileups of US stations uttering nothing but their own calls over & over. Must be hot DX on the lower frequency. DXHeat / DXCluster shows 9L5A on 24965 where I was not listening for it; QRZ.com: 9L5A Sierra Leone flag Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone 2024 DXpedition by F6KOP, November 27 - December 8, 2024, Sierra Leone, QSL: F5GSJ``, see: https://9l5a.wordpress.com/ where their mascot is an hippo: ``Why a hippopotamus on our logo? The pygmy hippopotamus is found in only 4 African countries including Sierra Leone. It is an endangered species; a bit like us?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 29 at 2259, REE music continues thru 2300 timesignal, ID in Spanish and finally opening token English late, VG direct. Also sufficient on 12030, audible on 17715, detectable on 17755. Preview topic to be about loss of faith in international law, a week after the ICC issued warrants for arrest of Israeli and Hamas leaders. And later, a book on Zionism on both side of Atlantic. 2302 into news leading with Valencia area still recovering a month after disastrous floods. 2315 starting interview about `International Law after Gaza` seminar, with someone visiting from Edinburgh? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Fri Nov 29 at 2258, NO signal direct from VOT English for N America, nor later, nor at 2334 into UTwente, only Chinese. At first JBA signal on 9610, but by 2334 at UTwente, only weak presumed Mongolian. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4095, Nov 29 at 0446, upward sweeps, i.e. the ``Desert Whooper``, which also IDs as DW; unheard for quite a while and now JBA vs local noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2271 monitoring: confirmed first SWBC, Friday November 29 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA S7/S8 direct; hope it`s better eastward and into target Europe. Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+, S8+ into UTwente. Also on WRMI webcast only. Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20 direct vs local noise level of S9+15/20; louder modulation would help. Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2330 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003+, S9+5/10 into UTwente. WTWW 5085 still not on by 0220 Sat Nov 30, so going to miss another week? I ask George. It cuts on at *0230, off a few seconds at 0232, on and off again and again, etc., so fingers crossed for Next: 0400 UT Saturday WTWW 5085; 0930 UT Saturday WRMI 9455 to WNW [has been off air; or 7730]; 1530 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1830 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM [2000/2200]; 0000 UT Sunday WTWW 9475 [suspended]; 0100 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0330vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0600]; 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW [or 7780, last 4 weeks]; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0400vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; 0930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 2030 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 1500 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2100 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy; 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975. As a noncommercial service, financial support welcome such as a contribution via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9955, Nov 29 at 0453, WRMI with a song at S9+10 but just barely modulated, less than 9790 China via Cuba on this occasion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, UT Sat Nov 30 at 0046 into NH SDR: 3265 OFF. 5130 lox onto something at minus 100/105 Hz, but nothing audible to ear; must be something else. 6160 -71 Hz, S9+5/12 with TOMBS. 7490 -73 Hz, FKB at S9/+20. At 0100 on 7489.927, no disclaimer about a repeat, which sometimes they do, often not, but with opening `WTO` theme, it`s obviously a replay of last week, exclaiming, ``Wake up! ... nothing like radio on a real transmitter ... Cathode!`` - so, never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 29 at 0431+: 774, 855, 882, 1053, 1305. All most likely SPAIN, including 882 CANARIAS which is more powerful than the peninsular ones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1390, Nov 29 at 0804 UT in the absence of local KCRC, one signal slightly atop the pileup, starting CBS News LATE with a bong at 0804! Who would do that? Looking for C affils in NRC AM Log, ONLY: WAVP Avon Park FL, U1 1000/77 watts; KJAM Madison SD, U1 500/62 watts; and KNCK Concordia KS, U1 500/54 watts, so most likely KNCK by proximity. What do you bet whichever were on day power? KCRC remains off all morning Nov 29, but at low noon 1832 UT when I get around to checking for KNCK or anything else on 1390 into caradio, KCRC has resumed (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6938, Nov 29 at 0458, AM carrier at S9+10/20, with tix once per second, but no minute markers; no pirate broadcasts around here now: so few of them operate that late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0242 UT November 30

** CUBA. 5025, Nov 28 at 0711, R. Rebelde active again with music, S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2271)
** GERMANY. 9670, Nov 28 at 0215, Texas R Shortwave via Channel 292, special T-giving show for NAm east, insuff direct, but S9+10/20 into Georgia SDR with hard rock; 0223 TRSW ID and address, turkey-gobbling SFX, and more of same rest of hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 540, Nov 28 circa 0640, pop songs and frequently ``Los Cuarenta`` = 40, alluding to ``Top 40``? Mostly in Spanish but some in English. Constant rippling SAH. It`s XEWA San Luís Potosí SLP. IRCA says sporadically active, probably nowhere near 150/150 kW licensed power. MWoffsets show it on 539.9732 as of 2024-02-04, i.e. 26.8 Hz low. CBK as 0.1 Hz high. Later in night English talk, probably CBK. The other 540 XEWA, lower powered in Monterrey is apparently long gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2270) ** OKLAHOMA. 338 MCW kHz, Nov 28 at 0721, NDB TU is JBA, i.e. TUlsa (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2270 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday November 28 at 0136 the 0130 on WRMI 5010, JBA direct; at 0142, S9+15/25 into Georgia SDR after trying to hear it via S American remotes where it`s aimed, without success. Also confirmed Thursday November 28 at 1730 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002-, S9+10/15 into UTwente. WORLD OF RADIO 2271 contents: Benin, Canada, China, Cuba, Ethiopia, Germany, Indonesia, Italy and non, Kaliningrad, Marshall Islands, México, (Morocco), Myanmar, North America, (Romania), Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, USA, Venezuela?, Western Sahara; SWL Fest 2025; propagation outlook - (countries mentioned or implied along with others, not in order) WOR 2271 available from 0135 UT Friday November 29: (mp3 stream) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2271.m3u (mp3 download) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2271.mp3 Or via http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html Also linx to podcast services.

So something`s very odd at Okeechobee. 9455 still silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 23250 et al., replies to the WITK PA harmonix; Hugh Whelan: ``Hello all, Thank you Glenn and everyone for the helpful information regarding the probable harmonic at 4650. To be clear, I am in West Pittston (visiting wife's family for Thanksgiving), not at my home in Fort Myers. This location is directly across the Susquehanna River from Pittston. I brought my Airspy HF+ Discovery with me and put out a 60' long wire into a 9:1 Neolec balun. For what it's worth I also sent an email to Wilkins with two recordings, but got an out of office email saying the person was out for the week. Best, Hugh`` Arthur Pozner replies: ``This Kiwi SDR must be very close to the transmitter. Most likely between 2 to 3 km distance. Night power is listed as 500 W, but it is equally as bad. The assigned fundamental (1550 kHz) frequency is S9+60. The strongest is the 3rd harmonic on 4650 kHz and S9+40. Practically all odd harmonics are pretty strong and some are highly distorted. The even harmonics are very low (after dark). Just wondering if the Kiwi and Airspy are both overloaded to a point of passing fairly high level RF as it is so evident`` Rodney Johnson replies: ``Greetings From Minnesota! Either the carrier exciter is overdriven to the point of putting out square waves, where odd harmonics are stronger than even ones is typical, just look a Fourier series of it: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/FourierSeriesSquareWave.html or the receiver front-end is severely overloaded, clipping the incoming carrier in a square like fashion. Since an exciter running like this would likely melt or start a fire, it is more likely the latter. 73s --Rodney`` (via Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2271) UNIDENTIFIED. 660, Nov 28 at 0730 UT, ``ESPN Radio`` ID dominating. One might guess sports format WFAN NYC but NRC AM Log does not have it with ESPN; rather only these two on 660: WDYZ Altamonte Springs FL, U4 3500/1000, and WBHR Sauk Rapids MN U4 10000/500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 830, Nov 28 at 0737 UT, dead air, surely WCCO, but rock steady at S9+37. Can`t imagine any local source for this. Some talk audio JBA underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2271) This report dispatched at 0149 UT November 29

** BELIZE. 24950 USB, Nov 27 at 2312, V31CQ, Scott contacting KQ4PCR. QRZ.com: ``V31CQ Belize flag Belize, Scott Davis, Blackman Eddy, Belize`` - sounds like an American; yes: home call is K5PS. Visits Belize in November, this year until 30th (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 27 at 0737, JBA carrier. Cuba still off 5025. Presumably SIBC starting to show, late enough for nightprop from there and ``early`` enough for me to be tuning (GLenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, 12030, 17715, 17755, Nov 27 at 2057 check direct, all four REE frequencies are on, in decreasing order of strength here.

Checking this because Hugh Whelan reported an unlisted station on 4650, which Arthur Pozner then IDed as WITK [not WIZK my typo], Wilkes-Barre PA on its 3rd harmonic of 1550! as heard into same Duryea remote, which is only about 10 miles away. Looking at the waterfall, there are lines throughout the spectrum at least to 31 MHz, correlating with 1.55 MHz spacing, so I pick this frequency which is the *15th* harmonic of 1550. Have not tried direct, but may well be propagating widely on multiple harmonix. Also heard on many of the lower ones spot checked. I`ll calculate them for convenience: 3100, 4650, 6200, 7750, 9300, 10850, 12400, 13950, 15500, 17050, 18600, 20150, 21700, 23250, 24800, 26350, 27900, 29450, 31000... Not until 2303 do I get around to checking many of those direct: nothing except a JBA carrier on 9300 which is probably ChiCom jamming against Sound of Hope. WITK, in Pittston PA, not Wilx-Barre, per NRC AM Log, U4 10000/500 watts so by then would have powered down with different antenna pattern. Still worth checking some of those possible harmonix in daytime. Hugh`s original report started, ``From West Pittston, PA I heard a strong signal at frequency 4650 of a man preaching at 14:16 UTC, later followed by a clear ID that this was coming from the Wilkins Radio Network.`` It`s not clear if Hugh was *in* West Pittston PA, was using a remote somewhere, or heard it direct at his location of record, Ft Myers FL; which? W. Pittston is even closer to Duryea, both NE of W-B. NRC shows licensed to Pittston, not West Pittston, and address in Exeter. Pittston, West Pittston, Exeter and Duryea are close to each other about halfway between Scranton and W-B, slightly closer to the latter. Radio-locator gives station address as Wilkins R Network, Spartanburg SC, so O&O? Day and night transmitter locations are slightly different by one second of latitude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0109 UT November 28
