Hauser, OK, WOR)
** IRAN [non]. 15750.3, April 13 at 2202, open carrier vs bubble
jamming, presumably remnant of Iran International TV via BULGARIA on
signature shifted frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 15770, Sun Apr 12 at 2307, KBSWR in English via
WRN via WRMI, talking about Seoul, S9/+10 direct; sked 2300-2330 daily
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1060, Apr 13 at 0504, MexNA after `La Hora Nacional`,
followed by XERDO La Raza ID. Tho it had to be this if not R.
Educación, glad to get that c/l ID, by SHVA = super-hype voice actor,
from Matamoros [``kill the Moors``], Tamaulipas, 7/2.5 kW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 28505 USB, Apr 13 at 2212, ZL1AU, QSO with Bob, a
KB6++. Not positive of call, not fonetik, much weaker than adjacent
28500 BRAZIL, q.v. QRZ.com: ``ZL1AU New Zealand flag New Zealand,
Peter Scouse, 17 calluna crescent, totara heights, Manukau City 2105,

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Apr 13 at 0433, thintonations of Josiah
recognizable on anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH, S8/S9 direct but
with RTTY QRM on plus side (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, Apr 13 at 1914, REE NAm frequency revived, now in
Spanish, also good on 17715 for SAm, 15520 for ME, and still no 15390
for Africa. Same situation direct at 2203 when no English since it`s
unWednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.007-, Apr 12 at 2221, VOT not off the air, S9+20/40
into UTwente as `Letterbox` repeats calling me. And the next playback
Apr 13 at 0321 on 7275.017, S9+30/40 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 13 at 2200, no signal from VOT direct, nor on
recommended 11790, 11795 or 11800. By next check 2220 it`s on but
nogood vs Brasil 11780 ACI. No chance to check it into UTwente before
2300, probably OK, but failed to extend as late as 2335 in extraneous
German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2342 monitoring: Zacharias Liangas,
Greece, on Sun Apr 12: ``In Edesa kSDR: 9510 DX program (GH?) on IRRS

** U S A. 9395, Apr 13 at 2225, WRMI S9+10/20 but quite undermodulated
with `T2P` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9930, Apr 13 at 2226, 2308, and Apr 14 at 0017 chex, TOMBS
service of WTWW is OFF. Nor of course on night frequency 5920 yet, nor
by 0106. Wonder what`s wrong now? IIRC, other WTWW was on 5085 for a
while early UT Mon Apr 13, but not by 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1530, Apr 13 at 0508, ID mentioning Zacatecas on 104.9 &
95.1, overcoming WCKY on my N/S antenna. That should be easy to look
up later: NOT. No such XE on 1530, rather it`s still the TX spoiler,
KZNX Creedmoor near Austin, U7! 10000/220 watts, as listed with those
two FM frequencies in NRC AM Log, and not near its El Paso listed
physical address! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1590, Apr 13 at 0443 UT, Mexmx dominating on N/S antenna. I
stick with it hoping for a ToH ID; already at 0446 a ``full`` ID but
can`t copy anything more useful than ``Estás escuchando ... 101.``
algo, but there are one or two other SS QRMing. At 0500 no luck either
during an ID in Spanglish. I have been looking out for WCGO Evanston
IL, ``Ambiente Clásico`` which I used to get but presumably degraded
to 24 watts. Among USSS listings in NRC AM Log, the one in TX, KDAE
Sinton would be likeliest, U4 1000/500, SS:REL in R. Libertad group;
and group info on page 286 of NRC AM Log shows also a 101.7, K269GN!
which is in Corpus Christi, and Sinton is just NW of CC. As for
Mexico, FWIW no NA around 0500, and IRCA lists two possibilities,
XEVOZ in CDMX and XECCBB Guanajuato (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1600 kHz, Apr 13 at 0502 UT, Vietnamese, or some other SEAs
language? Presumably KRVA Cockrell Hill [The Metroplex] TX: you won`t
find the true callsign anywhere on the https://vva1600.com/ website,
rather VVA1600 = Voice of Vietnamese Americans. Used to hear it more
at least before LSS when it would QRM KUSHing; now is 25000/930 watts.
Both day and night patterns have a small bulge thisaway NNW. Site is
at the SE corner of Dallas, thus the bulge (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1650, Apr 13 at 0501 UT, tone mixing with other
stations. Always suspect KSVE El Paso which used to tonify all-night.
No tone before 0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4885, Apr 13 0428, JBA carrier where normally there is
nothing. Dare we hope R. Clube do Pará reactivated from Brasil, once
the best S American signal on 60m? NO! Despite still listed only in
Aoki as if it exist. Europirates are showing up anywhere on 60m now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, Apr 13 at 0429, JBA carrier, as often noted
before, no clues, but now it`s wavering. No broadcasters known on
4975 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9100, Apr 13 at 0413, instead of open carrier last time,
now some utenoise, but still accompanied by JBA clix and this time at
the rate of every 2 seconds, and JBA out to plus/minus 15 kHz =
9085/9115. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, Apr 13 at 0412, S8/S9 open carrier. Only thing
listed now is TIBET, but more likely I think is Issoudun, France,
failing to turn off a couple hours after R. República - Aha, Tony
Pavick, BC, just reported:
``I was surprised to hear R República here in BC with reasonably good
signal last nite at 0350 to 0400 sign-off:
20260413_0350_UT_9490_khz_France_Issoudun_R_Republica.mp4

UNIDENTIFIED. 9560-9565-9570, Apr 13 at 0409, DRM noise S9+10/20
direct. Nothing listed anywhere anytime on 9565 DRM nor AM in HFCC,
EiBi, Aoki, nor
https://www.drmrx.org/drm-broadcasts-shortwave-by-frequency/
Maybe FRANCE which does a lot of DRM testing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
