** CHINA [and non]. 11895, Oct 4 at 0640, S1/S3 direct, mixture of two signals with beat, so this time it`s CNR1 jamming plus RFA Mandarin via SAIPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 11860, Oct 4 at 1457, R. Martí with whine QRM, more of a problem here than Cuban noise jamming, i.e. the defective Sa`udi transmitter of Republic of Yemen Radio; no doubt assisting the Cuban jammers in the target area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Oct 4 at 1454, JBA music, presumably current frequency for Recep`s Turkiyeish jamming and/or Dengê Gel, via Uzbekistan? On interior longwire due to storming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Oct 4 at 2208 after news, token English from SNR, feature interview about an exhibition on ``Feminine Power in Art and Belief``. VG direct, others 17715, 15520, 11670 hardly usable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 4 at 2202 & 2230 chex, NO signal direct from VOT English; something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: NOT confirmed, Tuesday October 3 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, rather 2-month-old #2202 from early August! WRMI`s new server setup began Oct 2, and was supposedly going to continue airing latest 2210. The previous airing at 0030 Oct 3 was also #2202 as noted by Richard Lemke. ``9395 kHz, an Old edition of WOR is played, S9 signal, static QRN, 0032, 0034, 0045 (45443), 0059, October 3 UTC 2023 [Tue] 9395, an Old edition of WOR is played, weak heard voice beginning, 2339, 2340, 2359 (45343-2) 2359, October 3 [Tue] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Beginning UT Oct 4, I have made sure the remaining airtimes are really latest 2210. Confirmed 2210, Wednesday October 4 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -71 Hz into Maryland SDR, S9+5/12. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1400 UT Thursday WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW; also webcast, phonecast; jam?] No new financial support this week, which might have been sent via MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Oct 4 at 0000, no signal yet from WTWW, supposed to reactivate now; but *0010 cuts on JIP PPP SFA. For some reason, Maryland SDR will not synch on it, But NH SDR displays frequency within 0.5 Hz. Tuning direct it`s VG and also has reactivated JBA spur carriers approx. plus/minus 12.9 kHz = 5072.1 & 5097.9, negligible but utenoise circa 5098 might have a complaint about it. George McClintock tells me there were more startup problems with program feed, and Bishop Bob Biermann would not start yet tonight. Indeed, WTWW ID at 0100* and off. Similar report: ``Hi Glenn! I sat on 5085 kHz on Oct 4 at 0000 UTC waiting for WTWW to sign on. Not hearing anything, I thought once again the station was having some issue getting on the air, so I tuned out at 0005. I tuned back in at 0013 and the Pastor Pete Peters Show was already in progress. At 0100, a male announcer read a five-second ID “This is WTWW, Lebanon, Tennessee, USA”, which was followed by ten seconds of guitar picking, perhaps an intro into a new program, before the signal abruptly ended. I tuned out at 0102. Steve Howe, Saint Albans, Vermont`` 24 hours later, UT Oct 5 at 0000, standing by 5085 again for WTWW, no signal yet; still nothing by 0010 as I wrap up this report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Oct 4 at 0627, S9+20 of dead air again from WRNO, maybe will revive later with Mandarin as has been reported. One wonders what kind of audience they expect on 20 degree beam, still available 22-16, and never-used 15590 at 16-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Oct 4 at 1820 UT, I`m QRX for the much publicized nationwide emergency alert test: tuned to 91.7 KOSU, 740 KRMG, 12160 WWCR. First heard on 91.7 saying it runs from 2:20 to 2:40 pm Eastern; a few sex later on 740; 550 KFRM slow on uptake if ever; not heard interrupting a SW station -- who cares about that?! However, it was over in much less than a minute, stations resuming programming, as I hurriedly scanned some other AM stations. As for what happened on cell phones, I have no idea. Big deal? TV also on some cable channel, unknown as can`t monitor everything at once. However, Optimum had warned us yesterday this was coming and might have to reset cable tuners. There was no real-time msg about this in my email inboxes, nor spam folders -- who cares? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0013 UT October 5

** CHINA [non?]. 11895, Oct 3 at 0638, Chinese at S6/S9. This is a regular around this hour bandscanning, so I finally look it up: RFA via SAIPAN at 03-07 per EiBi, of course also CNR1 jamming. In this case suspect it`s really Saipan, do not hear a second signal, but if there be timepips at hourtop 0600 or 0700, it will be CNR1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11520, Oct 3 at 1524, JBA signal[s], nothing else in the 11.5s, presumably the Turco/Kurdo radio war (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Oct 3 circa 1530, the high line noise level has diminished and become more intermittent, cutting on and off. Still worse around 7 MHz than higher bands. In previous report about signals breaking thru it, R. Martí, after 0600, should read 7335 & 7435, not 7365 & 7465 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 3 at 2200, VOT not off the air today, S9+35 into UTwente, at first not too distorted; after news, 2211 `Review of the Turkish Press`; 2212 ``with you every hour`` promo; 2213 music; 2216 ``always by your side`` promo, `Weekly Commentary` voiced by the badax, ``penned`` by undecipherable name, now also heavy distortion, something referring to history in the 90s: I give up trying to understand it. 2224 `every hour` promo *again*. 2225 distorted music. I`ve had it, over to `NBC Afternoonly News` on KFOR RF 27. Not rechecked until 2256 when it`s already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. Re my report Sun Oct 1 at 2030, VOA French on 15185 // 15730 Grimesland, ``So the French Fpeaking have no equivalent to Ms., just Mme and Mlle?``, Richard Langley, Nouveau-Brunswique [hi] replies: ``Correct. In fact, these days, as I understand it, Mlle is deprecated since women shouldn't be formally categorized in salutations as to whether they are married or not; men aren't. The French government did away with Mlle in addressing women in official correspondence in 2012. All women are now addressed as Mme. Same goes for Canada. -- Richard Langley`` And from Wolfgang Bueschel: ``USA / BOTSWANA / KUWAIT then VoA in French and Hausa Sat/Sun in B23 season tentative requests instead: 12075 2030 2100 46-48,52,53 BOT 100 350 0 156 17 Fra BOT AGM 9485 2030 2100 46-48,52 KWT 250 210 0 146 17 Hau KWT AGM vy73 de wb df5sx wwdxc topnews`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday October 3 at 0036 the 0030 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+20 into Maryland SDR. NOT confirmed Tue Oct 3 at 1318 the alleged 1300 on WRMI 9955, instead some other talking. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB 1030 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB [previous #2209] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1400 UT Thursday WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW; also webcast, phonecast] No new financial support this week, which might have been sent via MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com As of 1530+ UT Oct 3, WRMI skedgrid has changed again alleging some new times for WOR, to be confirmed: UT Sat 1630 15770 UT Sun 0300 7780 UT Tue 0330 7780 The canceled UT Sun 0030 on 7780 is now shown as `Thank You`, whatever that be: hearing strange music fill. T-Y also at various othertimes. Still listed but *confirmed not yet: 9955: Fri 2200, *Sun 0000, Sun 1030, *Tue 1300, Thu 1400 web only: Fri 2030, Sat 1930, *Sun 2000 9395: Tue 0030, Tue 2330, Thu 0030, Thu 0130 7780: Mon 0030 5850: Sat 0130 5010: Thu 0130 These will all be integrated into chrono order with the next WOR 2211 notifications (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, WTWW: re ``Bishop`` Bob Biermann about to occupy 01-05 UT daily, I check WRMI schedule as currently displayed: only one entry for his original `Your [sic] Weekend Show`, Sat 21-22. `Truth2Ponder` adds up to 25 hpw, never mind the frequencies on six different timespans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Oct 3 at 0634, WRNO ID interrupts a gospel huxter in English, S9+48 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Oct 3 at 1439, no signal from WLCR via WBCQ-6. Wonder what`s wrong now. Also absent earlier at 0159, but that was just for antenna rotation, as back on from *0200 at S9+15/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2312 UT October 3

** FRANCE. 6100, Oct 2 at 1533, TDF Issoudun with MiniTransAt yacht race info, S9+25 into UTwente. YL voice this time, already past weather, reciting race standings up to 30th place with figures, I suppose distance traveled and/or remaining, in nautical? miles? 1541 introes music, rock playing until 1557* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Oct 2 at 1522, only JBA carrier frequency in the 11.5s, presumed current spot for KurdoTurco radio war (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. High line noise level now registering S9+27 at 7 MHz, 0630 UT Oct 2. As result hardly any broadcast signals audible except Martí on 7365, 7465; WRNO (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Oct 2 at 2206, token English from SNR, after news a feature on winners of the San Sebastián International Film Festival, VG S9+5/20 into Maryland SDR, none of which we are familiar with. 2212 about a local book fair which had to keep moving locations, interview with someone from present Cuesta de Mollanos, a quiet corner with no traffic, source for rare books. Other three frequencies, 15520, 17715, 11670, on and readable but weaker, much better on 17855 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 1 at 2205, VOT English not off the air today, but only poor S8/S9 into UTwente where it should be inbooming. On contrary, much further Maryland SDR gets it much better, S9+10/25, agrees it`s +9 Hz; but lo-fi, overmodulated & distorted as the badax is speaking at 2235; pass. 11785.009, Oct 2 at 2205, VOT English VG S9+50 into UTwente, but overmodulated badax with news, a turnaway to simul Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15185 // 15730, Sunday Oct 1 at 2040, VOA French with language lesson explaining Mrs., Miss and Ms. Aoki & EiBi show this 2030-2100 broadcast via Grimesland is only on Sat & Sun. But 15185 in French both days, 15730 in Hausa on Saturdays; VG signals. So the French Fpeaking have no equivalent to Ms., just Mme and Mlle? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. ``WOR via GDWR --- Oct 2 at 8:07 PM --- Hi Glenn, Just to inform you that World of Radio will now be broadcast at 08.30 BST Saturday and 08.00 BST on Sunday every weekend starting from this Saturday 7th October. {0730 & 0700 UT; from Oct 29, BST = UT} The overnight broadcasts of WOR will cease this Friday.

Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, UT Mon Oct 2 at 0500, this WWCR goes from VORW to quick ID to: Arabic! again at another of the scheduled times for `Your Firm Foundation`, as first encountered in Arabic at 1530 Saturday on 13845. As I said then, nothing on WWCR sked or program website about anything in Arabic. I listen closely to the opening, but no recognizable English words of introduxion, rather right into a dialog, seems drama also with musical background, including at 0505, ``Allah Akhbar`` repeated -- better watch out, this is allegedly a Christian station! Still no Oct 1 program sked update posted -- until recheck at 2220. Now labeled Oct 1 but same listings for this as in Sept except 2105-2200 Wed on 9350 rather than 2100- once I have corrected their UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9980, Mon Oct 2 at 1526, WWCR-4 is off the air, contrary to online Sept 1 sked which shows a M-F break from TOMBS at 17-21 UT, i.e. erroneous for 16-20 real UT, while TOMBS was supposed to be ON, M-F at 14-16 real UT. Ditto on the just `updated` Oct 1 sked. Something`s wacko at Walterboro and/or notvoicing via Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Oct 2 at 0633, WRNO still modulating with gospel rock, S9+38. Wolfgang Bueschel reports later: ``Check at 0847 UT, WRNO heard on 7505.001 kHz in Mandarin - Chinese sce at S=8-9 signal - fluttery on dark path into Perseus SDR unit in Edmonton Alberta CAN, Oct 2nd. 73 wb df5sx wwdxc topnews`` And Ron Howard, California, replied to my last night report: ``Hi Glenn, Oct 1 (Sunday) - WRNO (IDing "75-oh-5") with religious programming past 0400+ UT, with very good reception. 0510: Prayer in English; ending the "Country Roads" show and also exiting with Roy and Dale [Evans] Rogers singing "Happy Trails" (0511-0514).

Center would be 9384/9385 but no peak signal noted. I was checking if and how WOR on 9395 WRMI would be making it an hour+ from now altho not aimed thataway. Synch does lock onto algo 9394.998, maybe WRMI but not audible. Recheck at 2340, racket off and WRMI quite audible on 9395.000 at S8/9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2350 UT October 2

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, UT Sunday October 1 at 0001, the Saturday LRA36 broadcast is still on but by now much weakened and with ACI from 15480 China into Brasil SDR; no longer heard a few minutes later. About the transmitter power, Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, replies on the WOR iog: ``[WOR] LRA 36, transmitter power is 300 watts, no new 10 kW transmitter until well into 2024 --- 15476usb, LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel, Base Esperanza, currently the power of the station is 300 watts, as it was throughout 2023.

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Oct 1 circa 1500, JBA music, appears settled channel for the Recep jammer/Dengê Gel radio war; but this time there are a few other weak signals in the 11.5s. Wolfgang Bueschel reported earlier Oct 1: ``Turkey TRT Erdogan MIT jamming program in Osmanic Turkish mx style on 11530.005 kHz; Kurdistan radio 'Denge Gel (Voice of the People)' 11530even kHz, little less strong at 0746 UT in Doha Qatar Perseus worldwide RX net`` What is MIT? Or is he just emphasizing ``with`` in German? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KUWAIT. 15530, Oct 1 at 0635, no signal from R. Kuwait, nor 11970. I still see listings for English at 05-08, but is it really on air, anyone hearing them? Likewise 18-21 on 15540.

WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: both scheduled Saturday evening airings on WRMI are still missing: Not confirmed, UT Sunday October 1 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, rather same `Viva Miami` interview with staffer Marcy that has run for past few weeks.
