** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 5 from 1445 to 1540, NO signals
from LRA36 this Wednesday into Argentine, Brazilian, Uruguayan
remotes, tho the best Argie is still offline. Perhaps will make good
on Friday Oct 7 as RNASG has done before when missing Wed, and/or the
usual Saturday repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5800, Oct 5 at 0630, pulse jamming against nothing, obviously
provoked by additional R. República scheduled 3 nights a week via WRMI
itself at 03-04, even tho impossible now until that transmitter`s
antenna be repaired! I warned that this would lead to more collateral
damage against other programming too on 5800. Until now Cuban jamming
has attacked only 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6100, Oct 5 at 0624, RHC English, S9/+10 but JBM; 6060 also
S9/+10, sufficient modulation but some hum and distortion. No other
frequencies on now. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** EGYPT. 9439.995, Oct 5 at 2206. R. Cairo, S9+25 into UTwente with
extremely distorted English. Something`s always abysmal at Abis (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 5 at 0621 UT, no signal here from R.
Kiribati, but Gary Pence, KM5X, reports Oct 5, presumably via Hawai`i
remote or maybe KFS: ``I didn`t check 846 until 0428z and they were on
already. 73, Gary``. And Ron Howard: ``Recently observed while
listening at Asilomar State Beach, Calif.: R. Kiribati (846), anomaly
this week? Not on the air Oct 3 (Monday), when they normally would be
broadcasting; heard Oct 4 as usual; on Wednesday (Oct 5) they were
heard on the air from 0600+ UT, a day that would normally be off the
air.`` So perhaps it go and come on an irregular basis, even within a
single night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 5 at 0631, no signal from VON direct. At 1712
and later, no signal into Canary SDR, except JBA presumed Tibet not
off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 11940, Wed Oct 5 at 2209, token English from REE features
interview about Tim Burton`s ``Labyrinth`` opening in Madrid. More
about it here, for one sesquiminute:
https://www.usatoday.com/videos/entertainment/2022/09/29/dare-you-enter-tim-burtons-labyrinth/10459037002/
11940 at S9/+18 is far better than 15520 or 17855 into Maryland SDR,
even tho it`s for S America, as autumnal conditions prevail. Expect in
B-22 will resume 9690 for N America, better than 17855 in our
evenings, worse in mornings and daytime. For such a multi-hour span
they should use at least two bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830.002, Oct 5 at 2207, VOT English suceeds today, S9+50
into UTwente, undermodulated but sufficient if you turn it up.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Cuts off at 2256.5* after
first extra ID in German during IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 monitoring: ``a short list due
to Hurricane Ian. From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada,
the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna:
random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: World of Radio,
monitoring and confirming the latest for #2158, 9395 and 5950 kHz only
heard until the antenna farm can be fixed up. Hope to hear soon 5850
kHz, 1030 UT. Canadian Thanksgiving Day this weekend, Oct 10, 2022,
happy turkey day to the Canadians. WRMI:
5950, static QRN, 0030, 0042, 0055 (55433), (55434), 0059, Oct 3 UT
2022 [Mon]
9395, lots of fading noticed, 0030, 0044, 0059 (45433), 0059, Oct 4 UT
2022 [Tue]
9395, QRN, 2330, jingle, 2345, 2358 S7 signal, 2358, Oct 4 UTC 2022
[Tue] (Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard``
Confirmed Tuesday October 4 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+22 into Maryland
SDR; the preceding `Midnight Cry` not quite finished with contact info
when cut off at 2329.5 for ID.
Also confirmed Wednesday October 5 at 2100+ on WBCQ 7489.9v, just
barely on S4 signal direct = noise level. Straining, I could not copy
program number or date, but ``Korea, Mexico`` in the billboard, which
match this edition. Next:
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S [probably still off]

** U S A. At 1957 UT Oct 5, Jeff White of WRMI notified me: ``Hi
everyone. I am very happy to say that we got 9955 kHz back on the air
at 1900 UT today. I had expected it to happen tomorrow, but we were
fortunate to have some fast progress today. It will remain on the air
24 hours per day until further notice. We continue to work on the
other frequencies. We have four on the air now: 5950, 9395, 9455 and
9955 kHz -- all of them on 24 hours per day. Jeff``.
9955 confirmed at 2238 Oct 5 amid `Wavescan` about R. Dunedin, NZ,
S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, well atop jamming. See also CUBA above,
jamming added to 5800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5980, Oct 5 at 0626 as I tune downband, leapfrog mixing
product at S8/S9 of TOMBS and University Network, so I know WWCR must
be running both 5890 and 5935, and so they are, both blasting in.
The transmitter sked on website expired Sept 30 but obviously still on
the air; there may have been some seasonal QSY time adjustments.
Program skeds not updated either, still for Sept 1 claiming that
WWCR-4, 5890 operates overnight UT Sat & Sun only, ``OFF AIR`` 05-12
UT M-F, but this is Wednesday! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1550, Oct 5 at 2058 UT and several previous chex, I have
been unable to detect KKLE, Winfield KS, which NRC DX News reported:
``550 KKLE KS Winfield – Silent Aug, 2; back on the air Sept. 20 at
2:30 p.m. Central time.`` It`s U1 250/52 watts, sibling station to
KLEY 1130 Wellington KS, in fact with the same Wellington address, but
news/talk. KLEY has continued active 24h with AC rock format, licensed
as U1 250/1 watt but obviously day power at night. Higher in band
means KKLE weaker here than KLEY but not that much difference on
groundwave at similar distance. If really active, KKLE should also be
250 watts at night? KKLE may be playing games with FCC, like many
stations, firing up briefly to avoid losing license, then off again.
But I don`t recall hearing it before August 2 either (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 5 at 0631, weak signal no doubt RV, now without
ACI from either side. Wish they were still switching to 11835 at 0600,
as 0700+ is too late for me to hear their best signal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
