** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Oct 14 at 1853, LRA36 is on, S3/S5
into Argentine SDR; 1900 credit Eduardo calling from Spain; 1903 a
museum at Marambio Base; 1908 multilingual RAE ID; off already at next
check 2208. But 2308 recheck, on again, with multi-tones interrupting
song, or part of it? Rather seems to be QRM, deliberate, repeatedly.
Problem at SDR -- same wideband thing every 2.5 MHz or so from 0 to 30
MHz on H2Ofall! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 3365.10, Oct 13 at 2312, JBA algo into Argentine SDR, could
be R. Cultura Araraquara, following this tip via Paul Flanagan, BDXC
which I passed on to the WOR iog:

``From DX FANZINE: "Very interesting breaking news from Brazil. From
21 to 02 UTC this evening Radio Cultura Araraquara will make a
transmission attempt on 3365 kHz with the apology {sic} of the eclipse
experimentation. Looks like the actually intention is to check if the
transmitter, which has been turned off for a while, is still working.
It’s worth checking if it’s true and if it happens."`` 

3365.077, much better S7/9+5 when I can get onto Brasília SDR, 2316
song; 2319 sounds like jingle ID but uncopied, another song. 2326
frenetic announcement maybe included ID. 2328 more of that, 2329
``Cultura FM``, ads with lots of phone numbers, finally mentions ``em
Araraquara`` - hardly ``cultural``, IMHO. Some more explicit IDs to
2339 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 3365.1, Oct 15 at 0017, JBA carrier direct. See previous
report of R. Cultura Araraquara special test definitely heard via
remote in Brasil on this offset frequency. Was to run until 0200;
recheck via Brasília at 0228, it`s off; to return nevermore? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 5940.184, Oct 16 at 0214, JBA carrier presumed R Voz
Missionária; 5935 WWCR not too strong now. Not to be confused, I hope
with this: ``5940.19, Oct 9 at 0639, PMS audio on a discrete spur in the
sideband of 5935 WWCR; no match on the minus side`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Oct 12 at 0642, dash and YXL is JBA, S9/+20
including intolerable line noise level. 500 watts from SiouX Lookout,
Ontario, not flagged as facing decommission. Last winter so regular
that seldom relogged, but the last time barely pulled was June 26, and
before that, April 29 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

** CANADA. 362 MCW kHz, Oct 17 at 0611 UT, dash and SB, 500 watt ND
beacon at Greater Sudbury, Ont. 

346 MCW kHz, Oct 17 at 0714 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watt NDB at Sioux
Lookout, Ont. Tough copy but must be this regular (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CHINA. 13530 & 14920, Oct 13 at 1457, CNR1 music jamming Sound of
Hope, S8/S9 just before 1500*; while two other obvious ones, 13020 &
15920 are JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11820, UT Sun Oct 15 at 0023, Chinese opera, S9+10/20. Don`t
understand a word or note but nice to listen to for a while till
fading by 0040 to S7/8. I sure thought it was Mandarin, but listed as
CRI Cantonese this hour only to SE Asia from Xianyang 59 site (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Oct 15 at 0046, dead air with some hum at S9+30/40 from
CRI relay; then, bits of mod trying to break thru: wiggle that
patchcord! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Oct 15 at 0047, dead air at S9+20/40 with some hum;
something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Oct 16 at 0215, RHC dead air at S9/+10 or trace of JBM
presumably English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9880, Oct 15 at 2212, Esperanto, so it`s CRI as
sked via Kashgar, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems. Note, it`s only Commies which speak Esperanto on
SW! with Cuba. What would Zamenhof say? He died on 14 April 1917y,
just missing the Bolshevik Revolutsiya. AFAIK not one gospel huxter
uses Esperanto: audience would be too smart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [non]. 9440, Oct 16 at 2217, no Cairo direct, just BBCWS in
English which is via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES. Something`s amiss at
Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Oct 17 at 2150, R. Cairo is on, YL talking English?
but distorted, S9+20 direct --- but 2152 drops to dead air.
Something`s amiss at Abis and/or cutoff at Cairo (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FRANCE [non?]. 15300, Oct 12 at 1500, JBA carrier direct, remnant
of MiniTransAt? on planned frequency; but ASAP checked via remotes, no
signal. Probably suspended during Canarias R&R. Might have been Bible
Voice via Uzbekistan 1430-1500 not quite yet turned off (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) See also UNIDENTIFIED

** GERMANY. 15690.035, Oct 13 at 1500, bandscan direct hits an obvious
frequency deviation, estimated 15690.04, talk with no break at
hourtop. 1520 checking via UTwente with more precise measurement as
above with ME music. It`s R. Farda, American clandestine for Iran,
listed as Biblis site, a USAGM one often askew. No break at real
hourtop, since Iran imagines it`s hourbottom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15320, Oct 17 at 2158, open carrier with some hum, S7/9+10
direct; 2200 AWR theme, s/on in English mentions language on 15320 but
can`t copy it. Then heard ``Suara`` so Indonesian-related?

Aoki says ``Nga``, abbr. for what? EiBi says ``NJ`` to INS =
Indonesia, and his readme says ``NJ Ngaju Dayak: Indonesia-Borneo
(0.9m)[nij]``; WRTH UD under USA:AWR just calls it Dayak (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15440.00, Oct 18 at 2223, choral song in minor key, then SE
Asian Indonesianish talk, listed as KSDA in Sundanese alternate days
with English, S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ISRAEL [non]. 7570, Oct 12 about 2340, quick WRMI check as I am
finishing WORLD OF RADIO 2212: Yes, Israel relay on again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 6115, Oct 13 at 0640, strange music sort of chanting, not
expected from R. Nikkei, but it`s too late for Congo; and 0700 in
Japanese; better signal direct than the other Nikkei on 6055 (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH.. 15245.41 approx., Oct 18 at 2220, wobbling
off-frequency carrier, presumably perpetual VOK (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 6180, Oct 12 at 0219, ``Zorba the Greek`` tune, from
Brasil? No, soon Spanish talk so it`s nominally religious MWV. S7/S9
and -43 Hz offset into Bonaire SDR, which chex with WWV as accurately
calibrated within 1 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) = 6179.957

** MEXICO. 6200.00, Oct 17 at 0645, S7/S8 open carrier, presumably
Hikari FM, pirate still testing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

** MEXICO. 6200, Oct 18 at 0656, S7/S8 carrier, silent, or trace of
mod? From presumed pirate Hikari FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {earlier 
also filed at NORTH AMERICA, q.v.}

** NORTH AMERICA. 6200, Oct 16 at 0655, JBA carrier, probably Hikari
FM, the pirate in NW Mexico, which has been silent for quite a while.
First time I`ve heard a trace checking almost nightly. Now nothing
from other possible pirates on 7300v, 7320.

Then Ron Howard reports: ``[WOR] 6200 kHz. (pirate) testing again ---
6200 AM - For a long time I had not been hearing any Hikari FM
(pirate) signal and assumed he was having transmitter problems. Then
on both Oct 15 and 16, I heard an open carrier with good signal
strength (0450+ UT). Sent an email to the operator of Hikari FM,
inquiring if I was correct in assuming he was testing again. Here is
his reply, with the good news that he plans on returning to the air 
before too long with actual audio. Ron (Calif.)

"Yes, I am having problems with my amplitude modulator. I need an
audio amplifier to modulate it. The previous modulator got very hot
and it was very inefficient which led to its failure. Right now the
setup is a modulation transformer and I am building a class E audio
amplifier. This setup allowed me to step up the power a little. The
carrier is on because I will be doing some testing and pretty soon
will be back on air with music. This is if all goes by plan. There is a 
lot of new music that will be coming and another reformatting with 
now separate time for electronic music and another time for Jpop. 
Thank you very much for your support! Best regards."`` 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Hardly Chinese opera, but when that fades I`d better
check for pirates on Saturday night: 6950-USB, Oct 15 at 0049, S8/S9
sounds like oldtimeradio drama; distracted by another on 6955-USB, so
tuning forth and back. At 0051, 6950 is talking about SCOTUS as if in
a documentary. 0104 in music. Meanwhile I switch to real music on
Encore, 5850 WRMI, missing first few minutes. 0154 recheck, both
pirates off. Many more reports of this as Zeeky Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119455.0.html?PHPSESSID=6hp79h89693npsmd8sb74umf67
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, Oct 15 at 0050, right next to another
pirate on 6950, music I would call ``trance``; 0056 cut to SSTV which
presumably contained an ID but not for me; 0057 back to music; 0103
announcement maybe attempt at ID but all I catch is ``listening to
me``.  And over to WRMI 5850 for Encore. 0154 recheck, both pirates
off. Many more logs with SSTV images, but unID:

like soul vocal. These reports say it was Two Dog Radio until 0219*:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7300.09 approx., Oct 17 at 0640, JBA S7/S9 talk
probably sermon from the hamish pirate heard before only on UT Sundays
but this is Tuesday. Nothing from another one now on 7320 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0645 UT, NDB in Stillwater, SW, is
JBA: reconfirmed on, but nowhere near the signal it once had (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Oct 16 at 1955 UT, NO open carrier signal, no $
icon, so KOCD Okeene is finally turned off - but who knows whether
permanently this time (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local but useless TV signal
is *still* black and silent but at normal strength, Oct 16 at 1858 UT
check. Apparently there is no great demand for 3ABN and subnetworx; in
fact, I doubt many Enidians know it exist, or that it`s our very own,
should scantuning hit on it and save. Yet there are three 7DA churches
here, one of them in Spanish. 3ABN is on an upper tier ch 370 on
Optimum cable, likely directly off satellite rather than RF 17, as
it`s labeled -E, implying there be also a 3-hour delayed -W feed. Hmm,
before this went black there were crawlers warning of a change of
satellites. Online 3ABN program sked displays automatically in GMT
like my computer, including still rerunning `AWR360 Broadcast to
Baptism`, Saturdays at 1930, UT Thursdays at 0330 (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** PERU. 4930.6, Oct 16 at 0003, JBA carrier direct, surely the new
station reported since Oct 6, on this frequency offset, R. Pitumarca,
Sicuani, via R. Surandina. But nothing there at 0018 when checked via
Bonaire SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11860, Oct 15 at 0040, huge loud hum, S7/8, obviously
the Republic of Yemen Radio transmitter which has been thus for
months; cannot hear any Cuban jamming against nothing under it. They
must be totally incompetent at site, but which? Aoki says Jeddah, EiBi
says Riyadh, HFCC says nothing, WRTH UD says Riyadh: the winner.
Perhaps Ed, the American ``navydude`` DXer who lives there, could clue
them in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9955, Oct 16 at 0701, TOMBS still via WRMI,
but modulation is crackling; also with Cuban jamming. Tnx a lot!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Oct 13 after 2200, token English from SNR, VG
into Bonaire SDR, and just as good on 15520 for ME; After news,
2208-2211 report from Beirut, Lebanon correspondent summarizing what
we already know about the Hamas/Israel war. 2212 interview prof from
DePaul University, Chicago about the situation, criticizing Spain`s
government for not denouncing Hamas, unlike other western nations
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Sat Oct 14 at 2029, REE outro for `Amigos de la Onda
Corta`, media- if not DX-program. Must be at 2005 or so, VG direct
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Oct 16 at 2200, token English from SNR still
holding up VG direct, S9+20. 2207 feature is interview with an
Uruguayan author of a book about survivors of a plane crash in South
America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Oct 18 at 2208, token English from SNR, feature
after news is interview about Spanish philosopher José Ortega y algo
on anniversary of his death. Still VG signal direct (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. Re my latest report: ``Yes, Glenn re no show for TRT on
11785 Oct 11. The transmitter was left on 9875 from 2030 to 2300 with
English. So I am assuming it’s the same transmitter used for both
English transmissions. Normally only on this frequency from 2030 to
2130 for English to Australia/Oceania. Somebody at Emirler forgot to
switch over to 11785 at 2200. Craig Tyson, Perth, Australia`` -- Tnx
Craig, who has reactivated? and joined the WOR iog, welcome. So
whenever 11785 is missing we need to check 9875 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 2212)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 13 after 2200, VOT English not off the air;
in fact VG signal S9+40/45 into UTwente and VG modulation for a
change. 2216-2220 `Review of the Turkish Press`, also about Topic A;
music; later, `Weekly Analysis` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 14 at 2227, VOT English is not off the air,
VG S9+45 into UTwente, with `Gripping Piles`, something patronized by
Recep. No time to listen more, but still on at 2300 opening German to
chopoff at 2301*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 15 at 2211, NO signal from VOT into UTwente;
so per Craig Tyson`s advice, checking: 

9875, the 2030-2130 English frequency which sometimes stays on thru
2300 --- There is something S9 locking on at 9875.003, but modulation
sounds like whispering, unreadable and can`t even guess the language.
Maybe that`s TRT. Or VOK in Mandarin, also sked this hour. No, this is
not splash from an adjacent, nothing on 9870 and 9880 has EAST
TURKISTAN, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 16 at 2200, VOT English not off the air today,
in fact just as big a sig direct as 17855 Spain, S9+10/20, but
modulation somewhat distorted, worst during music at 2223. Heavy
accent only makes it worse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
But 2256 check, already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785+, Oct 17 at 2200, VOT on the air, VG S9+20/30 direct
in English, some distortion during music. 2218 ``always-by-your-side``
promo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 18 at 2210, VOT English not off the air,
S9+10/30, but only fair direct, 2214.7 `Review of Turkish Press`
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U A E. 15310.118, Oct 13 at 1503, JBA carrier direct, way
off-frequency, first estimated at 15310.13, then displayed by UTwente
as above; calibration of that checked vs WWV 20000 reads only 1 Hz
high. At UTwente can hear it`s Arabic. EiBi shows BBC this semihour
only, the token revival for Sudan after cancelling all Arabic earlier.
DHA site is really sloppy in frequency accuracy, reflecting poorly on
its clients (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKQOGBANI. 15245, Oct 17 at 1327, no signal yet from Woofferton,
rather just barely audible carrier off-frequency, no doubt VOKorea.
This is for the one-hour special from 1330 marking the 80th
anniversary of Woofferton. 17785 eastward is on already with Encompass
IS. Back to 15245 at 1330, now it`s on aimed USward with no het or
other QRM, SINPO 45444 or S9/+20, so I listen mainly to it but 17785
is almost as good with a bit more fading. This on the NRD-545 with
100-ft E/W longwire; but heard the last few minutes sufficiently on
DX-398 portable with telescopic antenna only.

After sign/on, at 1331-1348, monolog by Dave Porter with great detail
about all the different transmitters the WOF site has used over the
years, concluding with RIZ from Croatia capable of DRM. 1348 asking
for reports to radio@encompass.tv for special eQSL and chance to win
something in a drawing. Then we hear voices of a number of other
current or former engineers and other staff; including at 1352 G8XYJ.
1358 the first YL voice, office manager; interspersed with more QSL
requests. 1402 Lilliburlero. At 1412 starts playing IS/IDs of: VOA
signing off with Yankee Doodle Dandy, London Calling, Bow Bells, RCI,
NHK, DW, RFE/RL Praha, B-B-C- chime notes, RNW. The same sequence
repeats over and over and over again until cut off the air at 1430
during NHK with no further announcements. Quite nice nostalgia, and
congrats to WOF. The WORLD OF RADIO iogroup was also flooded with
reports on this. It would have been nice if defunct sites, Rampisham,
Skelton had received similar treatment on their anniversaries (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

mixing, hard to differentiate, but I think I hear AA, which is 100
watts from Fargo/Harwood ND; heard before, last Feb 22. Many other
tantalizing NDB carriers vs the high line noise level (Glenn Hauser,

``My 10 Meter Propogation Beacon at Rose Lake transmits on 28.2165 MHz

receiver in the HTX-100 smoked, literally, years ago but the
transmitter just keeps on going. I have a small fan in back of the

October 15 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+17 with
slight QRM from understation, Qur`an? so Iran sked until 2020. Also
confirmed on WRN to Europe webcast and WRMI webcast.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 16 at 0045 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S7/S9 into Bonaire SDR. This was not on last week so I removed it from

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2212 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Tuesday October 17 at 0030 on WRMI 9395; rather rock music from before
0030 continues; Legends? I asked Jeff White about this and the
off-and-on appearance of WOR UT Mondays at 0030 on 7780. He says these
are subject to pre-emption for specials and should both be on next
week.

** U S A. 5050, Oct 15 at 0019, no signal from WRMI; still off at
0200, but rock music on 9455. Aoki shows 5050 at 22-04 with Legends,
EiBi at 01-04. WRMI Legends blox are more convoluted also involving
9395. Aoki has also failed to delete long-defunct WWRB from 5050
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

** U S A. 9330, Oct 13 at 1525 and again/still at 0052 Oct 14, WLCR
via WBCQ-6 is OFF the air. Wonder what`s wrong now. See UZBEKISTAN
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Oct 18 at 1511, World`s Last Chance Radio on WBCQ-6,
in pseudo-scientific discussion of how the earth is flat, as looking
at the stars surely confirms, Polaris visible in the south, the stars
being very nearby in the firmament. So ridiculing them as ``Flat
Earthers`` is still very much appropriate. Allan Weiner would never do
that but often reminds us he is a ``man of science`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Oct 12 about 0400, WTWW ID after `Truth2Ponder` on
`Ancient Word Radio`; let it run including music but chopped off air
abruptly at 0444* never to return (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2212)

** U S A. 5085, Oct 13 circa 2305, WTWW not on air, but is upon next
check 2320, apparently another late start (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Oct 15 at 0019, no signal from WTWW; I guess it
be irregular, not always starting at 2300 or even 0000. Next check
0200 it`s on, Biermann ID as Ancient Word Radio -- another AWR! and
Truth2Ponder saying next week expects to add live services from the
little church he founded in SW VA, and repeat in evening. Evidently
will mean reactivating 9475 at least on Sunday mornings (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15610, Oct 12 at 1912, no signal from WEWN, reactivated a
few weeks ago in English; while neighbor signals are nominal, 15825,
15555-USB; also 15770, 15140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2212)

** U S A. 15610, Oct 18 at 2226, RCC discussion in English, so WEWN is
back on; was AWOL last time I checked. S9+10 with squeal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, Wed Oct 18 at 0654, WWCR-4 is on with unID gospel
huxter, not // 5850 WRMI so not TOMBS. This transmitter had been on
overnight only on UT Sat & Sun for TOMBS. WWCR-4 on 5890 could be on
anytime between 02 and 12. For axual scheduling, rather than 24/7
registered availability, we must look instead at the program
schedules. 

The Oct 1 version still claims 5890 is OFF THE AIR, M-F 12-7 am
Central, misconverted to UT as 06-13 rather than 05-12. Could it be
something sked on another transmitter? NO, 5935 has University
Network, not that. 4840 is TOMBS, and 3215 is supposed to be OFF just
like 5890, altho I did not recheck 3215 at this time.

WWCR has already added B23 transmitter schedules, in two steps, the
first week Oct 29-Nov 5 while USA be still on DST; and then Nov 6
onward, off DST. Same old frequencies, but shifts in changeover times
for a few of them. 5890 will be available at 03-13 UT. On this xmtr
page it appears they get the CT/UT conversions correct, unlike on the
programming pages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. No luck on daytime MWDX during the Eclipse, 1620-1640 UT Oct
14. Drove NW of Enid but could not get far enough to escape horrible
line noise. It seems there is a powerline next to every road. Would 
have required advance scouting even further for quietude. At least we 
saw the bite projected thru a pinhole; vs a shiversome windchill 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Oct 18 at 1512 UT, YL DJ on KLEY Wellington KS with
slogan in passing as ``The Wave``, NOT ``Red Dirt Country`` as in
2023-2024 NRC AM Log, and rock rather than country (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** UZBEKISTAN. 9329.930, Oct 13 at 1523, gospel music at S9+15 into
UTwente; I`m checking how WLCR via WBCQ is making it to Europe.
Incredibly this is way off-frequency. In fact, local check finds WBCQ
OFF, nothing else audible here. But UTw: 1527 Korean announcement.
EiBi shows clandestine CMI V of Wilderness, via Tashkent. WRTH shows
religious, by Cornerstone Ministries. Off at 1529* and still no WBCQ.
When both be on, must be quite a collision in Europe if not Korea
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Oct 16 at 0656, R. Vanuatu ID in passing, S3/S4
direct, with some ACI from 9955 WRMI even with USB tuning. Cuts off
about 0658.7* for presumed QSY to 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Oct 18 0657, S4/S5 talk from R. Vanuatu still here,
vanishes sometime after 0658. I don`t think they make any retuning
announcement, do they? Leaving listeners hanging unless they be
DXer-like, in the know (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search: whoopee, the
`season` is back, able to detect a few on two receivers, three
different antennas; despite line and other noise levels, Oct 16 at
0231 on 855, 1044 and two beating on 1053. At 0247, 855 and 828. At
0305, 855 and 1053. Not making any airtight claims, but: 855 & 828
both have 100 kW Ethiopians. 855 more likely RNE Spain synchros. 1044
has 10 & 20 kW from Spain but 200 kW from Ethiopia. 1053 Talksport UK
synchros up to 500 kW, but also 50 kW Ethiopia -- the country common
to all 4 frequencies. WRTH 2023 has no sked info, but this would be
around 6 am local, likely to be on air and skipping out westward circa
sunrise. MWlist shows 828 // 855 // 1044 all R. Ethiopia, 24h. 1053
is R. Oromiya not until *0400, but Talksport is 24h.

Method: I scan the entire MW band with the new R75 set at 9 kHz steps,
USB tuning 1 kHz below each: thus, 1 kHz tones/hets on TA frequencies
stand out except of course those ending in -0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 17 at 0652,
obvious het direct from 711 kHz when tuned to 710, likely this as in
mwlist: ``AOE SNRT Al Idaâ Al Amazighia El Aaiún 24h Laâyoune=El Aaiún
300 kW languages: Tamazight (Berber), Tachelhit, Rifain, ar // 936``
--- AOE as country means Spanish West Africa - hardly anymore, rather
WESTERN SAHARA but occupied by MOROCCO imperialism, their station. At
this late hour, far more likely than lower-powereds further into
Africa, Europe, ME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search October 18 at
0111-0120 UT. This time on the NRD-545 which doesn`t tune in 9-kHz
steps - or if it can, I don`t know how; rather than the IC-R75, so I
have to manually go in USB to 1 kHz below some of them, and do get
some hits, not in exact order tuned: 684, 711, 774-2 beating, 855,
891, 909-strongest, 999-2, 1053, 1107 kHz. Likely from Spain, Western
Sahara, Algeria, UKQOGBANI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1430 kHz, Oct 16 at 0233 UT, strong open carrier/dead
air dominating at S9+10, occasional dips to S9. No stations in OK or
nearby have favorable night patterns thisaway, but several ND day
patterns + failure to modulate make this intriguing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15299.87 approx., Oct 18 at 1514, JBA carrier direct as
I am checking for MiniTransAt. At 1521 I check UTwente, but it has an
S7 open carrier right on 15300.000 but rough. Was it a birdie? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also FRANCE
