** CUBA. 9490, Oct 9 at 0618, residual pulse jamming against nothing,
long after R. República via RMI vis France is off; but this time
accompanied by strings of two alternating tones between brief pauses.
Their CW-like carriers zero in on 9490.0 and 9490.4 -- tones on jam
frequencies happen occasionally in different configurations; jamops
playing around, relieving boredom? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Oct 9 circa 2130, NO signal from R. Cairo direct
nor via UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11525, Oct 9 at 0648, JBA carrier; 11510, Oct 9 at

radio war (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 1526 UT, JB detectable SW, 25 watt
NDB at Stillwater, vs line noise level of S9. Had not been able to
hear it for many weeks, if really on air all the time (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

from TOMBS via WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 9 at 2200, VG S9/+20 into Maryland SDR, token
English from SNR by the usual Amy Egan & Marilýn Quintana, but quick
IDs come from unfamiliar voices they must have recruited for that
purpose of variety. Feature subject after news to be marking World
Mental Health Day --- what? Everyone should know it`s Columbus Day
[non], as Oct 12 would be inconvenient on a Thursday. Or the Day of
the Race as celebrated? in Latin America if not Spain. Interview

** TURKEY. 11785.008+, Oct 9 at *2156.7 carrier on and soon IS and
English ID loop from VOT, S9+47 into UTwente, and soon drift up to
.009+. 2200 timesignal closely matches SPAIN via different remote.
Lotsa news, delaying `Review of the Turkish Press` until 2220, spoken
by badax so only some words understandable; and longer than usual

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2211 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 8 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+10/12
into nearby Noale SDR; with lite CCI singing, sorta Qur`anish, from
what? if Smooth Radio, England begone? mwlist: IRIB Radio Tabriz
1820-2020 azeri -- and with 50 kW per WRTH 2023. Seems off by 2022 and
then no signal into Kuwait SDR. So our other airing on 1323, Friday
from 2030 would be after Iran closes. There could still be a 30-watter
on 1323 from UK.

Not confirmed UT Monday October 9 at 0030 on WRMI 7780: another airing
bites the dust without notice:, something musical instead, vs noise
blast first 14 seconds. Still showing WOR on WRMI System D sked.

preacher referring to this month and this day being for Pastor
Appreciation; I guess it`s a carefully chosen recording of Pastor Pete

a bit rough and crackly with distortion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 17800 // 15595, Oct 9 at 1530, Arabic opening from VR SMG
site, both unreasonably strong if aimed away, 116 and 107 degrees
respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4741.5, Oct 9 at 0643, as I happen to be here during a
routine bandscan, CODAR ID fires two times, starting with WR, probably
WRPW597 as reported extensively last Feb 10/11, from the MS/AL/FL Gulf
coast, so still every icosaminute at :03, :23, :43. I think the IDs
are not ordinary CW, but just as wideband as CODAR itself, which
paused during IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9960, Oct 9 at 0616, some JBA broadcast here in splash
from TOMBS 9955 WRMI. Nothing listed; only 9960 in Aoki & EiBi is
1730-1930 R. Pilipinas. 2 x 4980? Nothing listed there except in HFCC
but not at this hour, Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. 3 x 3320?
P`yongyang is there 22 hpd including now; but some new fundamental

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sunday Oct 8 at 1553 and 1650 chex, NO
LRA36 signal into Argentine or Brazilian SDRs - despite sked they just
sent to Manuel of 15-17 daily except Sat 18-23 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FRANCE. 13735, Oct 8 at 1520, again I tune UTwente in too late to
hear any weather or race info from MiniTransAt, already in rock medley
music fill bits, including 1522 ``Sweet Dreams``, 1526 ``We Will Rock
You``, S9+15. 1527 ``à demain``, and James Bond closing theme, from
which movie? 1528 dead air to 1530.2* off - or rather not quite: still
a JBA carrier at S7 past 1608, presumably the Issoudun exciter not
also turned off as nothing else is known on 13735.
https://minitransat.fr/ map shows all vessels still at Santa Cruz de
La Palma on east side of island, no departures yet for Guadeloupe.
Also details of race standings places 1 thru 28 with three more at the
bottom dropped out, ``abandon``. There are no Atlantic hurricanes now,
but a ``tropical wave`` developing might be a problem. See
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php

Petteri Kostermaa explains: ``Hi Glenn, Re "I wonder if leaders keep
leading or they all re-depart La Palma at once." Yes, they all depart
at the same time from La Palma on 28 Oct. It is the total time of both
legs that determines the winner. 73s, Petteri`` --- hmm, that`s quite
a long layover, but welcome recovery? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Oct 8 at 0649, JBA music, presumed
Turco/Kurdo radio war as nothing else in the 11.5s;

11525, Oct 8 at 1445, JBA music, ditto, nothing else below 11590 =
KTWR in Kazakh. I suspect Dengê Gel and consequently Recep the Jammer
could appear on any 5/kHz-step channel in this range, not necessarily
at same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Oct 8 at 1507 UT, K17JN Enid still on air
transmitting nothing but black and silence; including the three
``audio only`` subchannels which were always black - and one of those
was always silent (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2211 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday October 8 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, this new time finally activated
after several weeks on the alleged skedgrid: S9/+5 into Bonaire SDR,
maybe a trace of jamming during fades.

Not confirmed, UT Sun Oct 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, nor expected as
changed to `Thank You` show previously. I`ve asked Jeff what that`s
for, and if it`s a WRMI produxion or from elsewhere. Nasty ute is
still blasting noise at 0030 for first 14 seconds.

NOT confirmed, UT Sunday Oct 8 at 0300 on WRMI 7780, despite
appearance on skedgrid several days ago; instead, Slovakia in English.
Guess what: skedgrid shows 7780 at 0300-0330 on BOTH Systems D & F,
the latter with RSI English and // 7730, where I think I am also
hearing it but not synchronized. I notified Jeff about this
contradixion, and now I see that Sys D sked has deleted WOR and
everything else at 0300-0330 daily.

Confirmed UT Sunday October 8 at 0311 about 4 minutes into so started
circa 0307 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+15 into nearby MO SDR.

As usual, not awake during Sunday 1030-1100 on WRMI 9955; has anyone

This report dispatched at 1958 UT October 8

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Oct 7, listening to
Argentine remote from 1755, nothing yet from LRA36; let it play as
noise under Handel`s oratorio Jephtha on WFMT/KUCO. Just at
intermission, 1815, I realize it`s on, maybe a bit earlier. Later
switch to Brasil SDR where at 1835 it`s S7/S8 during song. 1950 a
piece from someone in Sucre, Bolivia about that city, founded in
1538y. 2100 & 2216 still going with songs. Off during song without
despedida circa 2310*, nothing but splash from 15480 China at 2312.

Earlier, a report on the WOR iog from: ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain
--- Current schedule, according to a WhatsApp received from the

Saturdays: 1800-2300, program “Uniendo Voces” and “Jóvenes de la
Antártida”. All other days of the week: 1500-1700, program “Ecos de la
Antártida”. Today, Saturday, October 7, they have bad weather at Base
Esperanza. They hope to be able to go on air and that the weather does
not affect the transmission`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [non]. 9440.001, Oct 7 at 2218, news in English with
correspondent reports, too good to be Cairo, and not on 9439.995 into
UTwente. Of course, it`s BBCWS relay this hour only via USAGM Tinang,
Philippines 250 kW at 200 degrees toward Indonesia. I won`t accuse
this of being a violation of Separation Of Church And State, altho
UKQOGBANI is theoretically a theocracy --- just ask King Charles III.
Is he a.k.a. CIIIR, like his mom, EIIR? Cairo had been reported
recently by Alan Holder, Isle of Wight, to have improved modulation,
but not on air now, tho who knows, could have initiated English at
2115. Somethings amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. 13735, October 7 at 1502, JBA signal direct. EiBi
has nothing but MiniTransAt, as this is one of four available
frequencies during the bakery race. At 1516 I tune at UTwente, where
it`s no longer on 6100, just a weak presumed CRI, but S7/S8 on 13735,
playing medley of classic rock hits, only the signature title tunes,
like `Hey Jude`. The weather and race standings info must have been
quite brief today. 1526, YL with quick words, I think ``Have a nice
day``, a bit of James Bond theme music, 1527 dead air to 1530*. Map at
https://minitransat.fr/ shows most have arrived at La Palma, Canary
Islands, completing first leg. Then onward to Guadeloupe. I wonder if
leaders keep leading or they all re-depart La Palma at once. Later on
may ascend further to 15300, not there yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ISRAEL [and non]. [WOR] ``i24 news from Israel --- Altho there is
plenty of coverage of the Israel/Gaza war on US news channels, may I
point out a channel direct from Israel, i24. I have found it to be

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Enid translator K17JN, 3ABN and multiple
subchannels after several weeks nominal operation is black and silent,
Oct 7 at 0510 UT and still at 1513 check. Zenith STB box displays ``NO

JBA. Not your usual kind of CNR1 jamming against RFA Tibetan via
Tajikistan at 1300-1400. After 1400 per EiBi that would be KTWR in DD

Military:

In the UDXF iog: ``Michael Scheel, Oct 5 #111948, After seeing that
Glenn Hauser reporting via his log online that he hadn't heard Trenton
for a while. I tried it just now (2032z) and hearing it weak but
readable via a SDR in the Midwest. The broadcast consisted of a roll
call of several terminals with "no report received".``

And Oct 5-6 on the WOR iog: ``Tuned into Trenton Military on 6754 kHz
starting at 0031 UTC (S9+20 signal into central NC) and heard several
actual weather reports for Shannon, Prestwick (sp?), and Keflavik,
however after that, everything else was "no report received" for all
other locations (Shearwater, Greenwood, Gander, Halifax, Trenton,
Bagotville, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton,
Abbotsford, Comox, Victoria, Vancouver). As usual the station clock
reports the current Eastern Daylight Time as Zulu time.

After a 0059 UTC sign off, it started up again around 0112 with many
"no report received" observations until 0130 when there were three
additional reports that were not "no report received" for Zagreb,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2211 monitoring: confirmed Friday
October 6 after 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+12 into
nearby Noale SDR, and no CC QRM, England finally gone.

NOT confirmed Fri Oct 6 after 2030 on WRMI webcast only, rather world
music tunes we have heard countless times before. This airing has
continued on the System B skedgrid for several weeks, never
fulfilled.

Confirmed Friday October 6 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, JBA into portable
DX-398 but surely much better otherwise. Preceded by music other than
IS & ID loop; as SW is just resuming after webcast only break. Next:

UNIDENTIFIED. 13974 USB, Oct 6 at 1510, sounds like MARS or some US
military, after a few words switches to digibursts, S8/S9. More talk,
between ``405`` and ``406``, one much weaker than the other; or
``Highland Echo``? Something like that, then ``moving to primary,
out``. Searching frequency at UDXF iog, besides Russian, Taiwan and
Chinese stuff, was active for Armed Forces Day crossband several years
ago, and several logs of NNN0ASF, MARS, Easton MO (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17680-17685-17690, Oct 6 at 1456, DRM noise at S9, too
close to weak AM signal on 17690, but DRM cuts off at 1457*. That
uncovers an AM on 17685 in French vs CCI QRM? Or voice-over something
in background. But this also goes off at 1458*, uncovering a JBA
carrier on 17685 AM.

Listings are of NO help: only 17685 in HFCC is non-digital Issoudun at
1600-1630, an hour later. Nothing in Aoki. EiBi shows that as
``CLA Amharic R.Int.V.o.Fanno AH EAf /F-i``

The 17690 until 1500 would be VOA Tibetan via Lampertheim, Germany
or/and CNR1 jamming, of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6107-6127 approx., Oct 5 at 0205, extremely distorted blob,
can`t specify a peak point, hyper-enthusiastic Brazuguese talk, like
futebol play-by-play. It`s RNA, totally missing from 6180 leaving that
clear for MWV Madagascar in Spanish. By 0211, manage to match mod
peaks to 11780 which sounds OK on separate radio. Something`s bollixed
up at Brasília!

Ron Trotto was first reporting this as unID into IL on 6115. That`s
approaching local midnight at 0300 UT; do futebol games run that late
in Brasil or is it a playback? Next check at 0240, both are off:
previously logged chopping off air during programming at 0230* rather
than nominal 0300*. Ron Howard replies:

``The only major sports event found in Brazil (Rio De Janeiro)
tonight, as noted on online, was the Volleyball Men's Olympic
Qualification Tournaments, with Brazil vs Ukraine. Final score -

** CANADA. From Richard B Langley, NB: ``Hi Glenn: Just a minor
nitpick of your last program. Miramichi is actually pronounced as
mir-a-mi-SHEE. Not so it rhymes with Don Ameche. Another weird
Canadian``

Richard, Tnx, please don`t hesitate to correct/enlighten me about any
further mistaxe. I do tend to default to penultimatism u.o.s. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2211)

** FRANCE [and non]. 6100, about MiniTransAt, we`ve been calling this
a yacht race, but I note that word does not appear on the homepage
when translated to English. These are of course, sailboats, unmotored,
right?? That`s the point of the race. I suppose there is some ideal,
not very large size, for speed, yet able to grab plenty of wind.
What`s a yacht, and what`s nacht? It seems American usage is quite
different from elsewhere. Huge luxury vessels also called yachts.
Google translate indicates that if they have to say it, the French use
the English word (Glenn Hauser, landlubber, WORLD OF RADIO 2211)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: confirmed UT

into Maryland SDR (immediately following `Thank You` strange show
featuring loop of those words and music)

Also confirmed UT Thursday October 5 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S6/S8 into
Maryland SDR; Bonaire TWR SDR tied up as often the case.

Confirmed NOT Thursday October 5 after 1400 on WRMI 9955: some music
instead; this airing started only a couple weeks ago and still on the
skedgrid.

** U S A. 7505, Oct 5 at 0649, S9+40 of dead air yet again from WRNO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, WTWW: Update from George McClintock as of 0200 UT
October 6. Not on air last night or tonight. Problem is the remote
control which had been reliable for years, is not working. Will have
to download the program and install on a different computer. Bob
Biermann agrees to wait until next Monday night = UT Tuesday October
10 at 0100; but possibly could start earlier if the remote is working.
He can also handle the PPP feeds. SFA in Colorado still wants to sell
it; maybe in a couple months. If so, George hopes to retain access to
one of the transmitters. One of the antenna fields to be combined with
neighboring property for greater value over $ 1 million (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 5 circa 0645, no signal from R. Vanuatu. As also
noted by Ron Howard: ``Radio Vanuatu - Oct 5, tuned in at 0644 UT,
expecting to hear them on 7260, as they normally switch frequencies
from 7260 to 3945, at 0658, but not today; already on 3945 at tune in;
0659, promo for the Vanuatu TV program "Morning Show"; 0701, start of
news. Wonder when they started broadcasting on 3945 today? Ron
