** ALASKA. 3250, November 5 at 0416, upward tones repeating. Walt
Salmaniw says it`s HAARP testing again. I`m getting this via one of
Don Moman`s SDRs in Lamont AB; H2Ofall shows mush up to 3400, the only
two discrete signal lines JBV at 3215 WWCR, better 3330 CHU (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, by UT Sunday November 5 at 0010, LRA36
is off, no signal to Argentine remote; having as in last report,
``re-signed-on`` at 2326 Nov 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOTSWANA. 9775, Nov 5 at 0314, rock music at S9+10/20 vs high line
noise level about the same. It`s VOA English at 03-05. VOA spends
entirely too much time playing music rather than info/news (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Nov 5 at 0650, RRI English back up to VG
S9+20/25 atop extraneous Cuban pulse jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2215 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday November 5 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, atop jamming into Missouri
SDR. From next week to be at 0100.

Also confirmed UT Sunday November 5 at 0355 about 15 minutes into, so
started circa 0340, WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+18 into nearby MO SDR. From
next week nominal time 0415 but could start as early as 0330.

Also confirmed Sunday November 5 at 1151 the 1130 on WRMI 9955, S9+35
direct when I happen to awaken, ex-1030 in A-season. Next:

** U S A. 7505, Nov 5 at 0318, S9 open carrier, presumably WRNO which
has been AWOL lately but would it expect it to be stronger; only other
7505 is R. Farda, but nowhen near this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1682.7 & 1637.3 approx., Nov 5 at 0306 UT, spurblobs from
1660 WTOU Kalamazoo are still there as heard direct; while 1660 itself
is primarily occupied here by KWOD Kansas City KS (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 408 kHz, Nov 5 at 0311, JBA carrier detected here, most
likely JDM, 25 watts at Colby/Wheatfield, NW corner of KS, as the only
two others are in WA & AB. Only NDB I can detect vs line noise level,
except from OK 341 EI and 515 PN. At least the storm noise level has
dropped. Normally would detect 407, 25 watt HRU Herington KS, closer
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7828 USB, Nov 5 at 0319, pulsing, echoing tones are
back. Doug White previously suggested this could be experimental HF

DX/SWL/MEDIA programs will be updated on Nov 5; and WOR RADIOSKED

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 4 at 1746, no signal yet into
Argentina remote; *1748 cuts on with song as I pause for [lunch], 1822
from talk to another song, S7/S9. 1836 LRA36 ID with RAE; 1827 ID with
Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. Plug an event to take place Wed Nov 9
at 18h [21z] in some auditorium; rather than a broadcast, I think.
1831 YL with met conditions including temp range -10 to -23 C.

Recheck 2249, still on at S9/+10, and mostly music 2305+. At 2325
after music, sends Morse code: RADIO NACIONAL ARCANGEL SAN GABRIEL
---, and at 2326 ``a partir de este momento``, multi-ling ID and
pretending to sign on again; to repeat another 5+ hours? 2329, ``una
nueva emisión de `Uniendo Voces``, usual opening niceties, somehow
mentioning ``nuestras Islas Malvinas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21640.124 oscillating up to 21640.158 and down again as
measured by TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR, MiniTransAt, S6/S9, Nov 4 at 1534,
YL in French and English rankings up to 51st - I didn`t think there
were more than 30 on the first leg of the sailboat race. 1539 ``à
demain`` and music starting with EU anthem on fife, medley of many
more bits, not the classic rock tunes heard before, but must still
drive Shazaam crazy. 1559 brief announcement, James Bond theme music
until 1600* on the unstable Issoudun transmitter. However, in AM
reception mode you might not notice, they hope (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 7590, Nov 4 at 0628, Greekish? music, something new
here, S9+10 vs intermittent line noise level of S9+20. 0630 Persianish
news about Hezbollah, clips of SOS Blinken in English. I bet it`s
Radio Farda. Yes: now listed 0230-0830 via KUWAIT. No jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Nov 4 at 0635, RNZP achieves only a JBA
carrier. Extreme variations in strength vs last time (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, Nov 4 at 0125 UT, astounded to see a full-blown
infomercial - on TBN?? Did KTBO ``14`` OKC pick up a wrong satellite
feed? Something about health/medicine, I guess, unknown if
gospelhuxter undertone. I *never* watch TBN, but tuning across it.
Same on cable 3 Optimum Enid. No, at 0130 TBN ID flashes and into
`GAITHER A Legacy In Music` which is scheduled per TitanTV listings at
0000-0130, 0130-0300 and 0300-0400 UT. I guess the infomercial is part
of that? I let it run on a monitor, and at 0209 another commercial!
For OMEGA-XL. I know the lines are fuzzy, witness PBS, but aren`t TBN
stations licensed as noncommercial? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960.001, Nov 4 at 2306, NO English signal from VOT,
something`s always erroneous at Emirler; instead Chinese from XJPBS,
East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems, still thus at 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 FM, Sat Nov 4 at 2017 UT, coverage of stupid ballgame,
presumably foot, clue such as ``end zone``, S5 but steady and
sufficient. No doubt KMK282, the studio audio of KOVR or KMAX,
Stockton or Sacramento CA. I`ve frequently tuned past here but first
time heard in some weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2214 monitoring: ``Dear Glenn:

WORLD OF RADIO 2215 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday November 4 at
0130 on WRMI 5850, S5/S8 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday November 4 at 1630 on WRMI 15770, JBA S7/S8
into UTwente SDR, European target area; S5/S7 into New Hampshire SDR
but sounds much stronger.

Also confirmed Saturday November 4 at 1700 UT on WRN North America
webcast; ex 1600 when NHK now airs, already despite we are still on
DST.

Also confirmed Saturday November 4 at 1930 UT, right on time via
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG into nearby SDR; from next week will be at
2030 UT. Also on WRMI webcast-only; but not on WRN Europe stream,

** U S A. 5085 & 9475, WTWW still off the air and George McClintock
informs me at 15z Nov 4: Ted really left them in a mess. Engineer from
Continental is coming Nov 8-9-10 to try to fix two transmitters. He
was astounded to learn that one of them had been off the air for a
year. Meanwhile will remain silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers, Nov 4 at 0536, picking
some likely spots to tune USB 1 kHz below: 531, 684, 711, 774, 855,
999, 1125 - likely Algeria, Spain, Western Sahara (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7828 USB, Nov 4 at 0632, the echoey tones are back as
previously reported, S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 26220-26420 approx., Nov 4 at 2020 in bandscan, regular
pulsing maybe CODAR but seems a bit too fast for that, too slow for
OTH radar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 26375 USB, Nov 4 at 2019, 2-way in Spanish, maybe
``freebanders`` below rather than above 27 MHz CB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 35790, Nov 4 at 2022, JJBBA carrier. Checking out a tip
from Don Moman, Alberta, to the WOR iogroup that he was getting Radio
Martí, 3rd harmonic // 11930! It seems the F2 MUF is hitting 40 MHz
now, and he`s rather far from Grimesland for it to be sporadic E. To
me, Es distance would be good, but too close for F2. Harmonix tend to
favor odds or evens, so if the MUF rise further, check for X5 on
59650, which my R75 will barely tune, just below the old NTSC TV ch A2
FM audio frequency 59750. Neither he nor I were getting it there nor
on 11930 X 2 = 23860. Also check anyway X4 = 47720 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 2353 UT November 4

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 3 at 2201, R. Cairo, news in English, lofi and
somewhat distorted but tolerable modulation, S9+30 into UTwente.
2232-2241 Qur`aning snippets and lessoning in English, translating?
Violating Separation Of Mosque And State. After all, the Fribbath has
just passed. Distorted music, 2243 s/off, more distorted music to
2244.5 silence, to 2245* off. At least for B23, there is no more BBC
to collide on 9440 at 22-23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21640.12V, Nov 3 at 1515, JBA MiniTransAt marine weather
info from Issoudun, as always way off-frequency and constantly varying
up and down. Only other 13m signals are 21660 and 21485; see SUDAN
SOUTH [and non], and UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 9445, Nov 3 at 0649, stilted English immediately
recognizable as VOK, also distorted, S2/S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 11510, Nov 3 at 1528, talk and also
stronger 11550; I`m looking for Dengê Gel and Recep the Turkish
jammer, but EiBi shows both are R Free Asia in Korean at 15-17 via
TINIAN and SAIPAN respectively; did not realize they should be //
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Nov 3 at 0652, RRI English is JBA beneath
Cuban pulse jamming against no Martí ever at this hour (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Friday Nov 3 at 2300, token English from SNR,
timesignal, s/on with program preview, news. At 2317 it`s an interview
about the status of a lagoon at a national park in southern Spain due
to climate change, vs demands for more irrigation; S9+20/30 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 21485, Nov 3 at 1515, S6/S9 of talk but
modulation breaking up rapidly. Per EiBi this is R. Tamazuj based in
Holland, 1430-1600 via Issoudun, FRANCE. B23 Aoki misses this one
completely. To make it as obscure as possible, HFCC lists this only as
JRC in the Apd language. Only one of three 13mb signals along with
21640V also France, and 21660, see UNID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 12125, Nov 3 at 1542, S8/S9 Chinese mixing with
another lang at equal level. It`s CNR1 jamming vs RFA Tibetan at 15-16
via TINIAN. The imperialist ChiCom occupiers could at least have the
courtesy to employ Tibetan language jamming but probably from outside
Tibet due to skipzone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9700, Nov 3 at 0652, S6/S8 talk sounds more Turkish than
Japanese. TRT at 310 degrees sked 04-07; NHK at 305 degrees at 05-08
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.017, Nov 3 at *2304, VOT cuts on late, JIP
news in English, S9+30/35 into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler. I was listening from 2253 on 5960.000 to snippets of
Chinese martial music cutting on and off, i.e. PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi,
nominal start 2300 per EiBi, from EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. But once TRT is
on, it obliterates XJPBS which was only S9/+10. Almost; still audible
as an understation during pauses. Unfortunately VOT suffers from a
constant squeal, like WEWN. I`d rather not listen. In background at
2314, I recognize the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel. By 2338
drifted to 5960.018. At 2340 I turn on UTwente`s Autonotch, but moxnix
as the squealing is not a constant pitch. Narrow filter to 2.15 kHz
rids it but makes what`s left even more lofi. 2352 s/off sked as usual
mentions only 4 *other* English broadcasts in jumbled order, never
this very one: 1330 on 13635, 1930 on 6050, 2130 on 7285, 1730 on
9660. Wait a minute: 2130 is supposed to be on 9610, while 7285 is at
0400! I bet this never gets corrected in the next pentamonth. And
still going at 2400 opening extraneous German. At 2417 I realize
that`s Chinese again instead of German, so TRT has turned off in the
last few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 356 MCW kHz, Nov 3 at 0704 UT, ND beacon ODX is JBA vs S9
line noise level here which is worst on LW, making it a struggle to
hear any beacons. 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 11870, Nov 3 at 1530, ``Welcome to the Voice of
America in Burmese``, i.e. Myanmarianese; S5/S6. I thought he said
Chinese but Burmese listed: one of those ``-ese`` langs. This also
explains why it`s not being jammed. Via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, of course
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2215 monitoring: confirmed Friday
November 3 at 2157 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+17
into nearby Noale SDR, and no CCI audible; new shifted time. However,
some storm crashes from NW Greece/SerboCroatia coast right across
Adriatic. Flooding in Tuscany must not have reached to Villa Estense.

Also confirmed Friday November 23 at 2200 first SWBC on WRMI 9955,
S9/S7 into Bonaire SDR with Cuban pulse jamming. From next week: 2300.

S9+20/30 into Maryland SDR, a new `AAAWWW`, this time as a Christian

** U S A. 1682.7 & 1637.3 approx., Nov 3 at 0700 UT, matching

Touch``, Kalamazoo, as recently discussed in this IRCA thread:
https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/101970919
The lower one obscured here by local on 1640 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Nov 3 at 0650, RV music S3/S4, unusually
stronger than 9955 WRMI which is a JBA carrier beneath Cuban jamming.
I`m hearing 9960 just about every night before 0700 tho not always
reported (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [non]. 11700, Nov 3 at 1529, S Asian lang, 1529 VR IS,
S5/S7. It`s Malayalam at 1510-1530, via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES;
violating Separation Of Church And State. Why is the USG propagating
one particular RCC sect? O yeah, it`s an ``exchange`` as if USAGM need
relays via Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier check Nov 3 at 0710 UT:
JBA on 621 and 711 kHz, surely RNE Canarias and neighborly Moroccan
from occupied ``Spanish West Africa`` as in mwlist. Such ending in --1
are axually easier to spot than further splits, since the --0 N
American stations provide no splash and quieten the frequency when
tuning USB. Same would apply to those in --9 if I ever tuned in LSB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21660, Nov 3 at 1515, algo here one of 3 sigs on 13m

on Day 7 = Saturday, and this is Friday. HFCC and EiBi show nothing
after 1500 but until then BBC Somali at 14-15 is via Vatican M-F, UAE

October 7! SAWA (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 17790, Nov 2 at 1452, S7/S9 of classic rock,
WRMI warmup? NO, not yet, soon announcement in Romanian. But at *1456
WRMI comes on with IS & ID loop by ex-bishop Bob Biermann. No break or
RRI IS at 1458 as this is a HS relay until 1600, but accurate
timesignal at 1500 and more music as WRMI starts Radio Africa. Jeff &
RRI must have decided that this hour overlap between Galbeni and
Okeechobee would not be a problem in respective target areas France
and South America, and possibly it`s not, but why not avoid it anyway?

S7/S9, but listed as ISS, FRANCE, JRC in the Apd language, Nov 2 at

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers: not searched whole band
amid S9+20 line noise level but manage to detect a couple, Nov 2 at
0640 UT, no doubt SPAIN, 855-2 and 1044 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7854.4 LSB, Nov 2 at 0647, QRM to 7850 RC USB, CHU,
finally resolved here, 2-way in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0141 UT November 3

** EGYPT. 9440-V, Nov 1 at 2215, dead air at S9/+10 very slightly on
the low side correlating with R. Cairo, 9439.995 when measured
previously. But now with BFO offset, hear rapid warbling/wobbling of
transmitter. Something`s egregious in Egypt, amiss at Abis (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15680, Nov 1 at 2222, S9/+10, YL hymn solo in unID language.
HFCC shows KSDA in Nij. I believe we have been over that before (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ISRAEL [non]. 7570, Nov 1 at 2307, this WRMI relay of WRN block now
carries R. Poland for the full hour, no longer ISRAEL at 2330. First,
discussion of All Saints/Souls Day celebrations in Poland. At 2330
discussion of populism. See also USA: WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6932.9 USB, Nov 1 at 0222, ghoulish sounds as I tune
in late for Hallowe`en piracy, only this. At first hard to pinpoint
strange noises, 6935? Brief talk sounds best tuned as above. HFU:
``KIPM Flying Dutchman via Undercover Radio 6933``

** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 1 at 2300, token English from SNR is S9+15/30 into
Maryland SDR, previewing subject to be interview with visiting
American crime novelist S A Cosby [?]. Not interested, and right into
that, skipping any news since it`s a holiday - and as everyone knows,
nothing ever happens on holidays; or in the case of SNR English, any
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday; in English, anyway (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 1 at 2254, UTwente is getting nothing
but Chinese martial music, S9/+10, no more than +001 Hz, i.e. CNR from
EAST TURKISTAN. I`m also monitoring SPAIN elsewhere and did not notice
exactly when VOT cut on but there it is at 2303 with news and also
within 1 Hz of accuracy. Tho S9+30/40, there is still lite QRM from
the understation, i.e. CCCCCCI = Chinese Communist Chinese Language
Co-Channel Interference. 2319 `Gripping Piles` on whether
procrastination is a disease or just laziness; 2323 multi-lingual ID
filler reel; 2325 `Weekly Commentary` by some prof about Palestine vs
Israel. 2352 s/off sked claims to have English at 02-03 & 07-08
``UTC`` to N America, but those are really UT+3 local times! Yet the
clueless announcer concludes that the ``23-00``and ``04-05``
broadcasts are pre-recorded! 2353 IS starts playing. 2356 pause and
restart IS now with German IDs inserted. Here we go again. 0000 still
going with sign-on in German with same news sounder we hear in
English, but chopoff at 2400:40 or so, immediately uncovering loud
Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28260 CW, Nov 1 at 2211, lotsa 10m beacons but I pick this

allowed anywhere.

** U S A. 5800, Nov 1 at 0202, two American accented guys chat about
nuclear power, thorium, type II diabetes. I`m checking this WRMI to
reconfirm whether still relaying KBS World Radio via WRN, but this is
not that, nor any station with news on hour. Did not get ID but find
out later. 0230 recheck, NHK World Radio Japan is starting `Newsline`.
In A23 this was on WRN at 0130 UT.

Therefore, WRN North America stream has already moved everything an
hour later, as if *we* were already off DST, causing needless
confusion. And before it at 0200 was Deutsche Welle. KBS hour now
starts at 03 instead of 02 - but WRMI WRN relay block remains at
02-03, whatever it may contain. No doubt the same shift apply to any
other WRN relay blox on WRN, e.g. Israel had been at 2330 on 7570, now
out of it at 0030.

WRMI skedgrid shows the following World Radio Network times on SW
[more in internet only], never with any content details, and barring
any deliberate changes to compensate, all stay at the same UT as
before except for the one on 9955. Investigate what`s really in them
now, guided by the outdated WRN A23 program sked, adding one real UT
hour to it:

no signals from WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15610, Nov 1 at 2221, WEWN English, RCC stuff, with
persistent squeal from defective transmitter - modulation cards? As
sometimes heard on other stations. But VG signal, S9/+10 no doubt tnx
