** CANADA. Re my VE9XX log, ``Not clear why he keeps a 9 call in a #1
call area. More unique?``
``Originally, all three Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, and Prince Edward Island) used the VE1 prefix. VE9 used to be
for experimental stations. In 1990, the PEI prefix for new licences
became VY2 and in 1994, the NB prefix for new licences became VE9.
Holders of a VE1 prefix in NB had the choice to keep it or switch to
VE9. For example, VE1UNB became VE9UNB. Only NS retained the VE1
prefix. And so there are hams in all three provinces using VE1 just
not all of them. -- Richard Langley``
``VE9 has been the NB call sign for quite a while now. See “Call signs
in Canada” on Wikipedia,
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Brunswick

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2160 monitoring: confirmed UT
Friday Oct 14 at 0330 on WRMI 9455, S9+20 into west TX SDR,
substituting, temporarily? for still silent 7780. Also from TX:
``Hello my friend! I have been listening to your program via WRMI on
9.455 MHz. On Thursday nights at 2230 my time (Central Time), 0330
GMT. It`s great and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy it and how
helpful and informative it is. I remember your name from a couple of
club bulletins out of my past, (ASWLC, NASWA). It does my heart good
to see you are still at work in the SWL hobby. Terry Kelly K5NGD``
``Heard the second half of the program via WRMI on 9455 kHz, 0345-0400
UT on Oct. 14. Signal was generally fair, although some fades were
more difficult to counteract. Average SINPO 43333. 73, Ricky Leong,
Calgary, Alberta, Canada``
Also confirmed Friday October 14 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9 direct,
undermodulated, no jamming audible; by 1455 down to S4/S5.
Also confirmed Friday October 14 from 1815.3 on IRRS SW via BULGARIA
7290.001, S7/S9 into UTwente, and also JBA S5 on X2 = 14580 at 1833
check, tuning LSB to avoid warble on USB; and on AM Italia, 1323 kHz,
Villa Estense, where there is continuing heavy CCI from Romania in
German, WOR at best vying for equal level, intolerable; while 918
transmitter is not on air despite clear frequency, as if they are not
taking my advice. To completion 1844.
My monitoring before and after: 1756 I tune in 1323 to hear classical
piano music from Romania, IRRS English talk underneath. 1759 Hungarian
announcement atop IRRS; 1800 `Feature Story News` is JBA under German
now from Rom.
Always late at *1800.8, 7290 pops on the air, JIP `FSN`; 1803 `Spotlite`
segment about threats to wildlife; 1805 IRRS ID and music fill, until
1812 opens an astronomy show, missed title, but hosted by someone from
magazine Universe Today, guest about Jupiter being close to
Opposition; and the DART mission. Chopped of at 1815 for IRRS ID and
WOR.
Afterwards, 1844 music, ID, more music fill until 7290 chops off at
1857 just in time to avoid the ChiCom ACI which is just starting;
while 1323 continues with birdcalls, fragment of TUC Radio opening,
still heavy CCI from Romania in German until few seconds of tone from
it at 1900 and off, just in time to hear on 1323 ``IRRS Shortwave
signing off`` and Verdi theme --- even tho SW 7290 already cuts off at
1857 without any formal s/off!! At 1903 `Feature Story News`.
Also confirmed next play on AM Italia 1323 only, at 2030 after Irish
music show, IRRS/NEXUS ID, S9+5/15, now with much less QRM but still
some understation. Next:

** U S A. [WOR] WRMI 15770 kHz Back On the Air
From: Radio Miami International <radiomiami9@gmail.com>
Sent: Friday, October 14, 2022, 11:30:52 PM GMT+1 [2230:52 UT]
``Dear Clients, Listeners and Friends: At 1900 UT today (October 13),
WRMI's frequency of 15770 kHz was back on the air, finally, after
Hurricane Ian had severely damaged the transmission lines between this
transmitter and antenna. We have been broadcasting much of the normal
15770 kHz programming on other WRMI frequencies since the hurricane,
but everything is now back on 15770 kHz again.
Next week, we will be working on getting 21525, 5850, 7570 and 7730
kHz back on the air. We are already broadcasting on our other
frequencies of 5010, 5800, 5950, 7730, 9395, 9455, 9955 and now 15770
kHz.
We want to thank dozens of WRMI listeners, clients and supporters
around the world who have donated to our hurricane restoration fund to
get all of our frequencies back on the air as soon as possible after
the strong winds of Hurricane Ian did extensive damage to our antennas
and transmission lines. We greatly appreciate their contributions and
the dedication of our staff who have been working continuously to
restore everything back to normality.

Nominal 15770 WRMI-9 hours are/were: 1100-2400 UT - but I had just
checked circa 2345 and no signal into UTwente or Maryland SDRs. Is it
again on a 44 degree azimuth, antenna which was reportedly
irreparable? Glenn
Walt Salmaniw replies: ``I've got a somewhat strong wobbly carrier on
15770 at 0004 UT tune in, Glenn. OC only. Walt in Masset, BC`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 3265+, Oct 14 at 2358, no WBCQ signal into Maryland SDR when
it might have been gearing up for 1 hour a week activity during
`AAAWWW`; while IS & ID loop is running on 5130-, two hours earlier
than on other nights. At 0000 UT Sat Oct 25, that joins 6160- and
7490- for `AAAWWW`, which seems to be new despite initial A&A banter
about whether her mike is on, etc., discussion of big egos among
broadcasters, especially TV --- until at 0008 he admits that this is
live if you are hearing it on 2 September 2022. We`re not, but
checking my log, I missed it that week. At 0034 he readmits that it`s
2 Sept YOOLF 2022, from Studio 9 in FLA. Then checking today`s twit:
``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 11h [c. 13 UT Oct. 14] 7490/6160/5130 kHz
tonight at 8pm eastern. Angela & Allan Worldwide. Tune up that great
shortwave radio and let’s have some fun. Listen in. Call in. Email in.
207-286-5483, wbcq@wbcq.com. All for you on WBCQ. Unstable times need
real non-fake media. Real radio. Real life❤️`` -- so he correctly does
not claim to be on 3265 this week, but since it`s a sesquimonth-
old-rerun, why does he ask for calls-in?? 0035 olds about FCC
notifying property owners about fines for accommodating pirates. New
clients on any WBCQ frequency are charged a flat rate of $ 50/hour,
less than a meal at a restaurant, he thinx. Larger blox negotiable.
0056 squeezes in some FRW logs of frequency and name only, just in
from Harold; back then (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5130 minus 26 Hz = 5129.974, UT Sat Oct 15 at 0230-0259,
good `Greek Music Refuge` on WBCQ Radio Angela, programmed by
Zacharias Liangas and presented by Bill Tilford, S8/S9 into Maryland
remote, then 0300 faux-timesignal and `FTIOM` ``For you to Enjoy``.
Opening edited in ``5130`` instead of 4790 which remains in email
address (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 14 at 0624, usual poor signal of R Vanuatu X1
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN. 9645, Friday October 14 at 0618, RCC-style chanting in
unknown language, S7/S9, presumed Vatican Radio, but normally here
only on UT Sundays for Ukrainian & Romanian liturgies at 0605/0820;
per EiBi, CNR1 Beijing site these hours on 9645 except Siesta
Tuesdays, but no sign of that. So Oct 14 is some holy-day for the
RCatholix? Nothing about it in the Oct 13 Vatican News Newsletter, to
which I subscribed in a mostly-vain attempt to keep informed about its
SW broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
