** CANADA. 15034 USB, Sept 29 at 1450, CHR Trenton Military is JBA
with ``no report received`` perceived a few times. Is it prop, or
altho on, is it QRP? I don`t have the patience to monitor such a poor
signal for complete several-minute sequences, but random chex since
reactivation have heard nothing but NRRs here nor on 6754 USB at
night. Has anyone, or is this completely pointless? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. 6100, Sept 29 at 1524 tune-in, `La Boulangère`
MiniTransAt special hour via TDF Issoudun, S9+25 and nothing yet on
alternates 5975, 13735 nor 15300 into UTwente. Weather info in French,
alternating immediately with same in heavily-accented English by same
announcer. La Boulangère means female baker, why?? At 1527 switch to
recitation of rankings in the yacht race so far with distances
traveled. 1534 closing, ``à demain`` and into rock music which I
expect to fill out the hour like last time, a James Bond theme. By
1540 I realize it has gone off but am hearing some weak talk instead.
During the bc there was also slight CCI from this understation, i.e.
CRI in Russian via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. HFCC shows it`s 100 kW ND,
so not much signal toward Europe, target area rather CIRAFs 30SE, 31SW
and 40E (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, Fri Sept 29 at 1815, IRRS SW is S9+5/15 into
UTwente, and nil on second harmonic 14580, in `Shortwave Report`,
recordings of DW and other stations, i.e., the time slot from which
WORLD OF RADIO was canceled months ago. But Dan Roberts is chopped off
halfway thru at 1830 for IRRS SW ID and Feature Story News; 1833 S
Asian song, and plug their alt identity as European Gospel Radio, same
repeated at 1845 after non-gospel music fill, then more of that. 1852
cut to discussion of AI. *1857 ACI starts from 7295 CRI English via
Kashgar. 1858 back to a song. 1859 IRRS s/off 7290, to continue on
1323 kHz. Aoki and EiBi claim the secret 7290 site is Bulgaria. See
also USA [and non] WOR monitoring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11535.0, Sept 29 at 1458, algo JBA, only signal in
11500-11600 range, presumably Dengê Gel via Uzbekistan? and/or Recep
the Turkiyeish jammer. Listening carefully across 1500 hourtop,
continues with no timesignal, so not CNR1 jammer; and since not
off-frequency, not Sound of Hope either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Sept 29 at 1500, Voice of Martyrs, Korea,
intro in English of Dhivehi -- pronounced DEE-veh-hee, 1501.5 switch
to YL in that language quoting from Proverbs. Only S6/S9 direct but
much better than Asian signals on band generally weak and/or
disturbed, so whence? Australia, Taiwan, or Big Secret? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Sept 29 circa 2030 UT, still dead air in $ tereo
into caradio from KOCD Okeene. Along a busy rush-hour artery street,
also found dead air on 87.9 and 93.1, the latter at least also in
$ tereo; obviously unfed hungry RF feeders in vehicles (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SWITZERLAND [non]. 15420-15425-15430, Sept 29 at 1601, Claudius
Obrecht`s special hour of his electronic music, as publicized, 100 kW
via Woofferton UK eastward toward target India. After finding Pune and
Bengaluru SDRs blocked due to something (else?) DRM requiring full
resources, I get it via #3 of the four 9K2RA SDRs in Kuwait. First
time I have listened to one of his music specials, and enjoyed till
1659*. He makes frequent announcements in German, sometimes also very
heavily accented English, and sometimes talking over his music. Plugs
his website. No dropouts or QRM. Display shows 10.26 kbps, not sure of
bandwidth but nothing hifi for music, and mono of course. I bet he
made it originally in stereo. Is stereo possible with DRM? If not, why
not: that could be a major selling point, but no doubt if employed
would make it even less robust. ID at 1620: ``This is C. M. Obrecht
Shortwave Radio`` - perhaps he need a catchier title? CMOS Radio?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: confirmed Friday
September 29 at 2054 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only,
S9+10/13 into nearby Noale SDR, and for a change no CCI, so Smooth
Radio, Brighton, England, UKQOGBANI, may have already closed down
forever. 2059 usual false s/off, 2100 Feature Story News, 2108 start
`The Shortwave Report` again with Dan Roberts, but bound to be chopped
off air in a few more minutes. Yup, -2111.7*, and still nothing else
on open frequency. See also ITALY [non].

Be prepared for disappointment, but WRMI sked shows a new time for

Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to:

** U S A. 7505, Sept 29 at 0630, S9+48 of dead air again, presumably
WRNO, but why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085: George McClintock confirms WTWW resuming UT Tuesday
October 3 after an hour of PPP, 4 hours 7dpw have been purchased at
01-05 UT by: ``Bishop`` Bob Biermann! That`s `Your Weekend Show` and
`Truth 2 Ponder` guy with lotsa hours already on WRMI: far-Christian
and far-right. He had been engineering at WRMI but I think for some
time he has been living somewhere else, fighting cancer or something.
His voice is still on many recorded WRMI IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR

UNIDENTIFIED [non]. 17790, Sept 29 at 0209, checking 24h after the
gospel huxters in English on `Radio PanAm`, maybe a WRMI test: none of
that now, but there is something weak S5/S8 in Burmese! into Utah SDR.
that`s listed in Aoki as clandestine, Radio NUG, 0200-0230 via
Paochung, TAIWAN. Strangely enough, last night there was no sign of
this to QRM WRMI(?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sept 28 at 15140, RHC is JBA into NH; at 1832 no
signal detected, boding ill for English at 19-20 but busy with WOR did
not get around to rechecking. The Other Side:

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW September 25, 2023 RUSSIA-UKRAINE
WAR -- Havana is involved in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and this is
the evidence
'Cuba is not part of the war in Ukraine,' claims the MINREX, but
events over the last year and a half show otherwise.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11535, Sept 28 at 1506, JBA carrier, only signal
below 11620 and above 11500. Likely current radio war channel between
Recep`s Turkey jammer and Dengê Gel, presumably via Uzbekistan.
However, EiBi shows Sound of Hope, Taiwan, long hours on 11535.2 but
no jammer; did not seem to be off-frequency. But SOH also in Aoki as
*jammed on 11535 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2210)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sept 28 at 2158, VOT English not off the air
today, ex-11785.003, so different transmitters? But poor only S7/S8
into UTwente instead of blasting. 2200 timesignal at least 8 sex fast,
even more considering internet delay. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler, Awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2209 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday September 28 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR.

NOT confirmed UT Thu Sept 28 at 0100 new time on WRMI 9955, as
confirmed for first time last week, already gone, replaced by `Antena
DX` from Panamá. Tsk2, it`s up against another Spanish DX program,
`Frecuencia al Día` at same time on 5010.

Skedgrid has already been updated, but now shows another *new* airing
for WOR, Friday at 2200 on 9955: hope that can be confirmed, and stix
as would become first SW airing of new editions.

Confirmed UT Thursday September 28 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/18 into
Maryland remote:

Also confirmed on WRMI 5010, S9/+12 into Bonaire SDR.

Also confirmed Thursday September 28 at 1423 the new 1400 on WRMI
9955, poor S4/S7 direct but no jamming audible; last SW repeat in
weekly cycle.

** U S A. From Dr Hj Biener: ```Dear Glenn, I just copied your weekly
Digest and found this item of interest:

``230921 [and non]. WRMI 9955 schedule: since I was not hearing any
jamming vs WORLD OF RADIO at 0100 UT Thu Sept 21, I took a look at the
System B skedgrid to see just when jamming would now be ``necessary``
--- and see NO obviously Cuban exile programs on it any more. There
used to be a weeknightly strip at 6 or 7 pm ET, Radio Libertad, was
it? Gone. Maybe for a while, as not included on the outdated Aoki
entries for 9955. [...] What about the Programming page? No exile
programs there either. What happened to them? At least there is still
Radio República on RMI via France 9490 and jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 2209)``

Looking at WRMI schedules that I downloaded 230103 and 230218:
230103 Radio Libertad is listed at the System B schedule at Mo-Fr
1900-2000 h ET
230218 Radio Libertad is not listed at the System B schedule any more.
Instead we find religious and DX related programmes at Mo-Fr 1900-2000
h ET.
Interestingly, both System B schedules are listed as „Effective
October 31, 2022“

Thus for the record we can conclude that this exile customer left the
station in early 2023. According to my files Radio Libertad has been
the only Cuban exile broadcaster using broker services of Radio Miami
International (beside Radio República) since about 2017/18. The
website https://www.radio-libertad.org/
is still there and provides a distorted stream.

Kind regards, Hj. (Dr Hansjoerg Biener)``` (via Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF
RADIO 2210)

** U S A. 5130.233, Sept 28 at 1533, WBCQ Trumpmitter is JBA daytime
into nearby NH SDR; inaudible into Maryland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Sept 28 at 0650, S9+40 open carrier, no doubt WRNO:
about to expand to all-night again? Or forgot to turn off after 0400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2210)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17790, Sept 28 at 0212, gospel huxter in English about
anti-Christ, S9/+10 into Utah SDR; 0230 switch to another with no ID;
off at 0303 check, so closing ID if any missed. Following this thread
on the WOR iog:

Andy Reid, Ont. at 0104: ``I am hearing something on 17790 that was on
well before 0100. Singing or chanting. Some vocal. No trace of the
BBC.``

Walt Salmaniw, BC, at 0131: ``Call To Worship by the Zion Chapel is
the name of the program. Very strong into Masset. Then into Welcome to
Bible Adventures with an Australian accented announcer at 0130.
Transmitter hum is noted (not loud, but there) Walt``

Walt at 0201: ``At 0200 an ID: "You are listening to Radio PanAm".
Huhh? Walt``

I, gh, reply at 0205: ``That would be Pan American Broadcasting,
a.k.a. Radio Africa (toward S America) as on WRMI 17790 at 15-21, so
WRMI extended, or another site? Not on WRMI grid. Glenn``

Wolfgang Bueschel: ``test of B23 season request channel?``

Kenneth Vito Zichi, MI: ``I've noted WRMI on 'early' and playing their
typical 'pop/rock' oldies BEFORE Pan America programming comes on.

15770 is also nominally 24 hours but obviously propagation doesn't
allow it to be heard such in any one place even if they are on the
air.

I think Jeff W likes to experiment and although I'm sure it isn't
'cheap', apparently the power bills to run a SW transmitter either
aren't as bad as so many would like to imply or it is 'worth it' for
him?

I'm still amazed that so many people who identify as 'broadcasters'
seem to have nothing nice to say about the medium and appear to only
wish it a speedy death. That makes little sense to me. 73. //Ken Z``

17790 I check again next day Sept 28 at 2230 into Utah SDR and
UTwente: no signal, nor circa 0030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2210)

** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 28 circa 0650, RV is JBA but can perceive some
modulation. Checking via Brisbane remote, Tony Rogers reported
yesterday its 7260 and 3945 channels were on but with dead air (Glenn
