** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sept 25 at 1504, NO signal from LRA36 into Brazilian SDRs this Saturday; I let one run anyway until 1600, nothing but S4 of noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed Sept 29 at 1454, LRA36 is on this Wednesday, S4-S7 into Brasil SDR; usual mix of music, frequent canned IDs, brief talx seemingly about some Argentine event on anniversary, rather than Antarctica. 1504 ID, about 24 of September, music; 1511 ``Nacional, La Radio Pública`` ID. 1526 Antarctica song; 1544 contact info, fragment of song, ``hielo, blanco y más blanco``; 1548 march song; 1554 brief QRM de 15475.00-USB 2-way INTRUDERS in Spanish; 1613 ID, 1614 hielo song; 1636 anniversary of algo, past 1650, cut off at 1709*. I let it run and hear some 15475 2-way again at 1718 when I can tell the reduced open carrier is still running from LRA36 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 680, Sept 29 at 0630 UT as I am bandscanning, immediately hear ``680 CJOB`` IDs, plug Alexa, weather. For the moment atop the frequency despite my antenna E-W, and despite all its 50 kW at night (and most of it at day) supposed to head NNE from Winnipeg; sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 6754-USB, Sept 28 at 0032, Trenton Military is AWOL again, nor was it heard in earlier Sept 27 daytime chex on 15034-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034-USB, Sept 28 at 1738, Trenton Military is on again but VP S4, Shannon aviation weather (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA.

CNR1 WOOB jammer search, Sept 26 at 1356: JBA carriers on 12820, 13020, 13130, 13190. Also at 1421, 9155 at S5-S9, 9255 at S5-S8 in Chinese. All of these fit against Sound of Hope, in Aoki & EiBi except unlisted 13190 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. 13645, Sept 28 at 1743 hilife music, S5-S8. It`s the CRI Swahili service via MALI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12000, Sept 25 at 0156, RHC English S9 at 2 x 6000 where it is S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 7157, 7215, 7335, 9565, 11860, 11930, 6030, Sept 25 at 0614, DentroCuban Jamming Command, where something is always wrong, still grinding on its two favorite 40m hamband channels as for weeks now; and R. Martí frequencies which are never on the air overnight; 7335 is especially strong, but no other 7s. Just think what the cost of all this electrical waste could provide the suffering Cuban people in sufficient nutrition, medical care, etc.! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Sept 25 at 0619, R. Rebelde is off! No Perú to be heard now, but less QRM to 5020 JBA carrier presumed Solomonic. However, 5040 RHC is still on in Spanish, S9+20/30 splashing unimpeded as far down as 5025. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Sept 26 at 0603, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30 and splashing out +/- 13 kHz almost to 5040, where RHC is already off tonight: opposite situation to last night, returning the favor. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13700 and much weaker 13740 but still spurless, Sunday Sept 26 at 1347, RHC with COVID-19 medical info, instead of `En Contacto` DX program. `En Cía del Doctor` had been scheduled at 1350-1400 after E.C. at 1335-1350. I`m been remiss in monitoring for E.C., whether it still exist without Arnie (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11760 et al., UT Monday Sept 27 at 0135, I make a point of reconfirming RHC DX program `En Contacto` at its third and last scheduled airing: yes, it has just started. For convenience I`m tuning via Bonaire SDR. 11760 is not very good, fading down, so at 0140 try 9710 but it has CCI and ACI, i.e. CRI Spanish 9710 via Cashgar, Turquistán Oriental, tierra de genocidio por los imperialistas chino-comunistas, en contra de musulmanes, and 9705 probably jammer vs RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan. 9535 is better, but also with CCI which would be CRI English via Kashgar --- some comrades!! By 0145 I`ve switched again to 5040 which is loud & clear. Something`s always wrong at RHC. As for content: main topic is the term ``Mayday`` and how it came about; the locutora massacres the original French, ``m`aider`` pronouncing as if were Spanish. In this brief program it`s broken up into segments; says that it`s not supposed to be as serious as SOS, like need-some-help-here, but English usage has led to it being just as urgent, as a dire emergency. Strangely, she never gets into how it relates to the big Commie holiday! Then about several ham DX-peditions with calls and QSL info; and special events, notably A60EXPO from Dubai. I have the impression she is reading a script without really understanding it. 0143 seems to give times for this show, but not clear as I am retuning. 0144 about solar activity. 0147 references ARRL webpage URLs --- do they not realize those are from Yanqui Imperialists?? 0148 more about ``Mayday``. Another topic is ``qué es el desacoplo de la polarización`` = what is decoupling of polarization. This only merits a few words at the very end, and I don`t get it. 0150 closing credits including guión as usual by CO7GW; locución by Ariadna(?) García. NO mention of Arnaldo Coro Antich --- how is Arnie doing now? 0151 into Doctor show (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11880, Sept 28 at 0039, RHC is still on here, S9+20 with its own version of French, which is supposed to be on 5040 but that`s now in Spanish. 11880 is supposed to quit at 2400 after an hour of English to ``Africa``, BTW often AWOL. This time the sloppyrator is really asleep at the dial. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Oh oh, if this keep on past 0100, there will be a big collision with Greenville relay of KBS World Radio in Spanish, which has been on 11880 all A-season. At 0059 RHC suddenly switches to English as ``Ed Newman`` is introducing the next hour. 11880, KBS relay comes on about a minute late at 0101, and now they are mixing about equally with RHC as received direct. I keep checking every few minutes and RHC is not about to get off! At 0113 during English from RHC and music from KBS, they add up to S9+20/30; still 0126+. At 0144 I try Bonaire SDR where it also seems that the two are within 1 Hz of zero-beat, fine going! English is on regular 6000 and 6165 and harmonic 12000; but 5040 is in S9+10/30 of dead air. At 0150 KBS is dominating to Bonaire with RHC weakening; but the KB0FX SDR in Missouri has RHC dominant. KBS relay goes to ``Babcock`` music at 0200-0201* so it looks like Grimesland`s timer is a minute slow. RHC English keeps on and on 11880 after KBS is finished: 0219 is S5-S7 into MO; still 0258, 0329 tho weakening, 0400 no longer audible and probably finally off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, Sept 28 at 0040, aside all the excitement on 11880, RHC Spanish is on here, JBM, suptorted, wiggle that patchcord! but S9+20 signal, still plenty to audiblize the parasitic spurcarriers in the clear on 11840, and QRMing the jamming against nothing on 11860, which is even stronger on 11930. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EUROPE. 12264.90V-AM, wavering between 12264.89 and .935 per UTwente SDR readout in Synch mode, Sept 27 at 1741, JBA signal S7 with talk, music; but nothing into Maryland remote: ``Dick Spacewalker`` had publicized yesterday [sic]: ``Hi, after 2,5 months of silance Spaceshuttle will have transmission day on Monday 27th of September. Day includes short tests of propagation as well combined 19th Birthday of us. Only frequency in use will be 12265 kHz... So we have very low power in use. But surprises might happen. Wishing you luck with listenening`` He had been on earlier around 0800; after my tip several other WOR iog members were hearing this intermittently past 2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 5905, Sept 26 at 0608, JBA YL in German: that would be Deutscher Wetterdienst, scheduled also on 6180 where there is an even weaker JBA carrier, both 0600-0630 daily, 2x 10 kW at Pinneberg but based in Hamburg. It`s now the #1 SW station in Germany! ahead of DW on page 475, WRTH 2021. A ``National Radio`` station? Guess not. I made the mistake of hunting for it first in that sexion among 15 pages of detailed almost-all-FM listings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 11965, Sept 26 at 1417, rock with heavy beat, then talk sorta Thai? S9-S7 with flutter. Aoki shows KSDA this semihour only daily in Ash language. WRTH shows this under, where else, Thailand, page 498, with Chin(Asho) to S Asia at 1400-1430 then on 11870 in B-20 season. EiBi calls it C-A for MYA[nmar] ``Chin-Asho: Myanmar-Ayeyarwady, Rakhine (30,000) [csh]`` not to be confused with CA which is Cantonese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN [non]. 9370, Sept 25 at 0602, JBA S2-S3 talk in unknown language where normally I hear nothing. Aoki shows it`s R. Farda via Lampertheim, GERMANY at 0300-0630. At 0630-1100 site switches to Kuwait; 1100-1230 back to Lam. In fact nothing but USAGM outlets on 9370; later and earlier, RFA and VOA via Tajikistan, Kuwait, Philippines. 31m is hopping from Europe at 0600+; much stronger 9420 Greece, 9670 Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Sept 28 at 1507, tune-in via UTwente to another weekly Tuesday Kashmir Civitas via IRRS via ROMANIA: S9/+15 in presumed Urdu, but 1511 abruptly shift to jive music in English!, more rock, and from 1519 discussion about the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing, interview with a Chinese-American author, Terence Cheng, of a novel about it, notably the brave anti-tank protester; with music background until chopped off at 1529* without any RRI IS this time. Was K.C. really only 11 minutes long this week? Or playback failed and default to fill material? IRRS webcast is continuous, much of it with no specific programming but unknown stuff pulled from the web, often fragmented (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA SOUTH [non]. KBS collision with 11880 CUBA: q.v. ** MEXICO [non]. Not a log yet, rather advance notice of something I meant to mention on WOR 2105 but missed: ``Special Broadcast: México le canta a las Américas (Mexico Sings To the Americas) Date/Time: Tuesday, September 28th, 0300-0400 UTC** **Monday, September 27 2200-2300 Mexico City Time / CDT WRMI 5800 kHz In honor of the 200th anniversary of the end of the Mexican War of Independence, a special hour of Mexican music hosted by Luís Alejandro Vallebueno with guests Gabriela Ortiz and “Uncle Bill” Tilford will air on WRMI with support from Grupo DX México. It will be in Spanish and directed towards Central and South America, but the back end of the transmission should be listenable in most of North America and parts of Western Europe and Africa. The music will be a combination of world-famous artists and others probably not known outside of Mexico. There will also be some items regarding history, customs and shortwave in Mexico including special appearances by a veteran of Radio México Internacional (aka XERMX in its days on shortwave) and a long-time member of Grupo DX México ---------------------- William "Bill" Tilford, Owner/Producer, Tilford Productions, LLC`` This is also the big night for other UB programs, on WBCQ 7489.9v: 2300-2330 Monday, first half of `Melting Pot`; 0000-0100 UT Tuesday, `From the Isle of Music` = Cuba; interspersed with lots of gab, interviews with the musicians (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** MEXICO [non]. 5800, UT Tue Sept 28 at 0300, WRMI with special `México le canta a las Américas`, but also talking interviews, all in Spanish, greeting from Jeff Blanco at midpoint. VG into Bonaire SDR, not so good direct. Too much else going on this hour, e.g. `Klezocalypse Now` on KSFR, so I record for later listening with less divided attention. First Perú, now this: I hope we`ll be hearing more LAm countries celebrated. Per WRMI skedgrid, this pre-empts `Freedom Synergy Radio`, the dispensable Falungong anti-PRC show most nights during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [non]. Ingeniero Glenn, Sé que no has pedido verificación de nuestra última emisión. Sin embargo aquí te la envío pues sé que estuviste escuchándonos; espero de verdad que lo hayas disfrutado. Te comento, esta idea surgió como una idea personal para honrar al Perú en su bicentenario de independencia, (yo soy un historiador especializado en este país andino, enamorado de su cultura e incluso estuve casado con una de sus mujeres), luego entre Bill Tillford y yo pensamos hacer algo similar para mi México bello, sólo para divertirnos. Pero dado el éxito que hemos tenido seguiremos produciendo programas; ya tenemos el siguiente en la lista (Aunque WRMI todavía no nos da fecha de emisión). Aunque no puedo revelarte qué país sigue que el siguiente país en la lista tiene mucha variedad musical. También Bill Tillford ha pensado en crear un especial de música latinoamericana para Año nuevo donde seguro incluiremos a Carlos Gardel y José Alfredo Jiménez; ya te informaré cuando tenga los detalles pertinentes. Te abraza tu Oyente de hace mchos años, Luís Alejandro Vallebueno. Programas "Canto de las Americas"`` Here`s the eQSL: https://www.w4uvh.net/GlennMX.pdf or #131 via: http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html Uncle Bill responds: ``Thanks for the kind words about México le canta a las Américas. In the short run, we are discussing a possible Nochevieja Panamericana (a Pan American NYE special) that would incorporate music from several different LATAM countries.

I expect to hear Bell Bird and QSY announcement to 7245, but 11725 keeps going with 0600 pips and RNZ news. Sked on website still shows 0558/0559 changeover. After 0600, nothing on 7245; nor 7255 Nigeria, nor 7265 France which is M-F only. So vacant! NZ perhaps confused as DST has just started. Domestic program relays will now be one real UT hour earlier, not necessarily SW block frequency scheduling too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. RNZP is not adhering to its own revised transmission schedule. Sept 27 at 2015 check, nothing on reactivated? 15720, or 13840. 15720 supposedly runs from 2159 to 0258, preceded and followed by 13840.

I see these are already listed at rabbitears.info. I check the RF channel for each to be sure they are really out of RF-29. They have probably moved from some other LP transmitter for OKC market (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 17895.069, Sept 27 at 1414, Qur`an from SRI/SBA, S5-S8 and the SSOB beyond a few JBA carriers, no sign of any other Sa`udis circa 17660, 17615 or 17570, supposedly on air now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 24 at 2200, token English from REE is only S6-S9 here; 11940 second in strength S6-S8 but distorted again/still; 15520 S3-S5 and 11670 even worse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 11940, Sept 27 at 2200, REE token English this Monday is *still* distorted on this S6-S9 frequency; is anyone paying attention? Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas. Fortunately, // 17855 to NAm is still holding up well, S9/+20 and with good modulation. 15520 good at S3-S7; 11670 S3-S7 but with ute ACI, all direct to OK. News first with Amy Egan: Canary volcano; illegal drunken parties on the beaches of Barcelona; international tourism day; a copy of the Mona Lisa at the Prado. 2211 feature admittedly from the archive: about a UK blues/rock guitarist at Café Comercial in Madrid. He`s semi-Spanish and has lived there for a dekayear. Name mentioned once sounded like B. B.

I remain wondering why I hear so few NDBs from Baja Oclajoma as opposed to many more to the north as far as Canada. My E-W longwire should be equally unfavorable to both, altho Midland is WSW rather than S. I was tuned to 325-USB (Glenn Hauser, OC, WOR) ** U S A. 5896.5-USB, Sept 29 at 0045, some weak unreadable 2-way phone, then mostly beepery until at least 0100.

WORLD OF RADIO 2105 monitoring: confirmed Sunday September 26 from 2000.7 on IRRS via AM Italia 918 kHz, S9+35 into Noale SDR. Preceded by music, IRRS ID. Also confirmed Sun Sept 26 after 2230 on WRMIs, 5950 S9+30 and 9955 S9+15 into east TN SDR. Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 27 at 0030 on WRMIs: 7730 VG direct; via east TN SDR: 9455 only S9 way offbeam; 9395 VG S9+20, but with ``RTTY warble`` QRM on plus side only, clear with LSB tuning. Much like the QRM to IRRS 7290. Measured about 9396.1; by 0045, WRMI has faded way down and the RTTY rules. Never noticed such QRM on 9395 direct to OK. Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 27 at 0130 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed from just before 0300 UT Mon Sept 27 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 6160 minus 53v Hz = 6159.947v, S9+5 into Maryland SDR with some ACI from 6165 Cuba even in LSB tuning. Previous show ended in time for full WBCQ singing ID at 0259.5, but after WOR billboard started, interrupted for another quick WBCQ `legal` ID. At 0325 direct check here, S8-S9 with ACI.

WORLD OF RADIO 2105 monitoring. ZZZ Wed Sept 29 at 1030 on WRMI 5850; anyone hear it? Wed Sept 29 at 2100 the BST-1 caradio is the only SW I have access to. Both WRMI 7780 and WBCQ 7490 are in its memory; no direct frequency input; but both are so weak that I fear they`ll be unable to stop the scan. I stop at a quiet spot away from power lines, turn off the car, and finally after multiple memory scans, each one does, confirming WOR: WBCQ at 2115, WRMI at 2121, both VP.

World of Radio now [starting soon] on WMRI via Ch 292, Germany, 9670 --- ``Hello Glenn, I am very interested in airing World of Radio on WMRI Europe which airs between 12 and 16 UTC on Sundays via Channel 292, 9670 kHz. Please let me know if this is possible. 73 Neil Gates, WMRI EUROPE, wmrieurope.com`` ``Neil, Yes, that would be fine. Thanks for inviting. Glenn`` ``We will begin airing World of radio on Sunday October 3; the time of transmission will be 1230 UTC. 73 Neil Gates WMRI Europe`` {from the website; no relation to anything in Florida} ``Hello and Welcome to WMRI Europe, World Mission Radio International, a commercial international shortwave radio station with studios in the United Kingdom and transmitters in central Europe, broadcasting to listeners worldwide. WMRI Europe also reaches parts of the world by means of relay facilities and worldwide by Internet streaming`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A. 9950 & 9960, Sept 25 at 0606, TOMBS modulation is JBA on plus and minus 5 kHz spurs out of 9955 WRMI, unusually strong in the nightmiddle S9+30. First time I have detected such, but like the 4975 spur out of 4980, reconfirmed at 0623. Perhaps they are far enough `down` to be negligible if WRMI even be aware of them. When 9955 is so strong, I suspect it`s really on a more northerly antenna than the nominal 160 degrees attributed 24/7 to XMTR 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.9v, Fri Sept 24 at 2207, WBCQ S7-S9 with rock music before and after a brief transmitter break; 2221 bluegrass; despite schedule showing `Tom Call Theater` this hour after `Behaviour Night` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.9v, UT Sat Sept 25 at 0000, WBCQ with `AAAWWW` -- first I try webcasts of 7490 and // Area 51, but the theme and interjexions are into the red, overmodulating/distorting, so I bring up 7489.9 on Maryland SDR where the audio is axually better tho still too loud. The whole hour is a rant. First against people buried in their devices even at New Smyrna Beach. Says they drove the 1800 miles from Monticello to Deland of Fla --- well, the air distance is only 1398 miles, so they must have made a lot of detours. 0026-0039 reading a long propaganda piece about T****`s alleged achievements compared to ``puppet`` Biden. Gets in a dig at the government for trying to silence free speech on WBCQ. Recommends watching old B&W TV shows from the 60s where the good guys always won, such as `Combat`. 0054 finally datestamp as 24 of Sept, YOOLF 2021, at Studio 9 in Florida, on 7490 and 6160. Angela gets to do the prayer, 0101 over to Hal Turner. John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490. Over the theme music Allan says, Hey, get your guns. Allan and Angela in the studio in Fla. Opening talk about the number of young people seen riding bicycles on the beach with one hand on the handlebars and the other hand holding a device which they were watching instead of looking around them. Some talk about their midnight run to Fla and the number of distracted drivers on the road using their phones or watching TVs in the vehicles. Allan reads a piece about Biden which morphs into a pro Trump piece listing all of his alleged accomplishments at 0027. Pro Trump talk continues after the reading is finished. Then some talk about the "great filter". Reading of emails at 0054. Closing prayer at 0059 was given by Angela. Program was off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Sept 27 at 1445, no signal from WBCQ-6 SuperStition of World`s Last Chance; why is it still so unreliable, more breakdowns? However, there is a JBA carrier on 9333, anomaly I have noticed before, *only* when 9330 is off, making me wonder if it`s also from BCQ, maybe an off-frequency exciter? After 1500 checking remote further east, no sign of either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Sept 27 at 2019, WBCQ is VP with YL in German? WLCR back on air, tho missing this morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7489.9v), Mon Sept 27 from 2300, WBCQ webcast, attempting to listen to the semi-repeat of `UBMP`, but it`s still too distorted, overmodulated; and subject this week, Mexican rock is unappealing. Ehhh, listen next week, as UB would say. I do notice at 2330 another of those national spot commercials which precede `Camp Constitution Radio`, this time for Tim Horton`s Coffee app. What a catch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Sept 24 at 0155, WRNO is back *on* with gospel huxter in English: I check it just as the WOR guy on 5850 mentions it being off for two sesquiweeks as of Sept 21. S9+30 but distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Sept 29 at 0101, no signal from WRNO: but it is on with gospel huxter in English at next check 0109 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5059 & 5111 approx., Sept 25 at 0620, traces of spur carriers which work out as 2nd-orders out of 5085 WTWW-2. I.e. twice the ~13 kHz offsets of the first-order ones circa 5072 & 5098. Just as I tune in, music stops but dead carrier stays on. Amazingly, no one else seems ever to report the painfully obvious closer ones, let alone their doubles. Something`s always weird at WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 26 at 0017 tune-in, WTWW-2 `Theater Organ Under The Arch` sometimes starts this early, but this week it`s almost over! Bob Heil, ``start winding up``, finishing at 0027.5 WTWW begging for money from listeners despite being a commercially supported? station and by Scriptures For America. So TOUTA must have started circa 2357 Sept 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, Sept 25 at 0624, WWCR in dead air yet again at S9+60! instead of dead Stair, who continues haunting us on 3215, 5890, as well as dead Scott on 5935. A trifecta anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Even without COVID we have not been traveling much, let alone overseas. If that is your case, you might want to armchair-travel via some of the regular shows on the PBS Create channel. In OK it`s OETA-3, but not on Suddenlink cable. Fortunately, we can usually get it off the air from KETA-13. I assume most PBS stations carry it on one of their subchannels, whether or not cable systems comply. Streaming may be available somewhere, either from PBS stations or from individual program websites you could search out. OETA confines its live streaming to main PBS channel only. Here are such shows on the following typical week`s schedule, each repeated several times; and as evergreens, some of them may be years old, before anyone would mask. My most often seen/favorite ones are atop: Rick Steves' Europe [mostly; date produced always shows at end] Samantha Brown's Places to Love Born to Explore with Richard Wiese Joseph Rosendo's Travelscope Two for the Road Canvasing The World with Sean Diediker Painting and Travel with Roger & Sarah Bansemer Seeing The USA Cycle Around Japan Highlights Journeys In Japan Let's Go, Minnesota! (Hometown Create) Outside: Beyond The Lens Passion Italy A couple more are only on the PBS World channel: The Good Road Colorado Experience There are some others which focus on cuisine in different countries. Create topix mostly include do-it-yourself, crafts, gardening, painting, cooking, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK) UNIDENTIFIED.
