** EGYPT. 9440-V, Nov 1 at 2215, dead air at S9/+10 very slightly on
the low side correlating with R. Cairo, 9439.995 when measured
previously. But now with BFO offset, hear rapid warbling/wobbling of
transmitter. Something`s egregious in Egypt, amiss at Abis (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUAM. 15680, Nov 1 at 2222, S9/+10, YL hymn solo in unID language.
HFCC shows KSDA in Nij. I believe we have been over that before (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ISRAEL [non]. 7570, Nov 1 at 2307, this WRMI relay of WRN block now
carries R. Poland for the full hour, no longer ISRAEL at 2330. First,
discussion of All Saints/Souls Day celebrations in Poland. At 2330
discussion of populism. See also USA: WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6932.9 USB, Nov 1 at 0222, ghoulish sounds as I tune
in late for Hallowe`en piracy, only this. At first hard to pinpoint
strange noises, 6935? Brief talk sounds best tuned as above. HFU:
``KIPM Flying Dutchman via Undercover Radio 6933``

** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 1 at 2300, token English from SNR is S9+15/30 into
Maryland SDR, previewing subject to be interview with visiting
American crime novelist S A Cosby [?]. Not interested, and right into
that, skipping any news since it`s a holiday - and as everyone knows,
nothing ever happens on holidays; or in the case of SNR English, any
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday; in English, anyway (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 1 at 2254, UTwente is getting nothing
but Chinese martial music, S9/+10, no more than +001 Hz, i.e. CNR from
EAST TURKISTAN. I`m also monitoring SPAIN elsewhere and did not notice
exactly when VOT cut on but there it is at 2303 with news and also
within 1 Hz of accuracy. Tho S9+30/40, there is still lite QRM from
the understation, i.e. CCCCCCI = Chinese Communist Chinese Language
Co-Channel Interference. 2319 `Gripping Piles` on whether
procrastination is a disease or just laziness; 2323 multi-lingual ID
filler reel; 2325 `Weekly Commentary` by some prof about Palestine vs
Israel. 2352 s/off sked claims to have English at 02-03 & 07-08
``UTC`` to N America, but those are really UT+3 local times! Yet the
clueless announcer concludes that the ``23-00``and ``04-05``
broadcasts are pre-recorded! 2353 IS starts playing. 2356 pause and
restart IS now with German IDs inserted. Here we go again. 0000 still
going with sign-on in German with same news sounder we hear in
English, but chopoff at 2400:40 or so, immediately uncovering loud
Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28260 CW, Nov 1 at 2211, lotsa 10m beacons but I pick this

** U S A. 5800, Nov 1 at 0202, two American accented guys chat about
nuclear power, thorium, type II diabetes. I`m checking this WRMI to
reconfirm whether still relaying KBS World Radio via WRN, but this is
not that, nor any station with news on hour. Did not get ID but find
out later. 0230 recheck, NHK World Radio Japan is starting `Newsline`.
In A23 this was on WRN at 0130 UT.
Therefore, WRN North America stream has already moved everything an
hour later, as if *we* were already off DST, causing needless
confusion. And before it at 0200 was Deutsche Welle. KBS hour now
starts at 03 instead of 02 - but WRMI WRN relay block remains at
02-03, whatever it may contain. No doubt the same shift apply to any
other WRN relay blox on WRN, e.g. Israel had been at 2330 on 7570, now
out of it at 0030.
WRMI skedgrid shows the following World Radio Network times on SW
[more in internet only], never with any content details, and barring
any deliberate changes to compensate, all stay at the same UT as
before except for the one on 9955. Investigate what`s really in them
now, guided by the outdated WRN A23 program sked, adding one real UT
hour to it:

** U S A. 9475 & 5085, Nov 1 before and after, 22, 23 and 24 UT, still
no signals from WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15610, Nov 1 at 2221, WEWN English, RCC stuff, with
persistent squeal from defective transmitter - modulation cards? As
sometimes heard on other stations. But VG signal, S9/+10 no doubt tnx
to a sporadic E boost at only one megameter distance (Glenn Hauser,
