 DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS update Sept 7: http://worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
** CUBA. 11760, Sept 6 at 1906, JBA carrier, maybe RHC when it`s not scheduled, nor is it TDF DRM which is irr. possible. First checked 15140 where RHC resumed English: zilch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9710, Sept 7 at 0246 jazz, soon RHC announcement in English, S9+30/40. Some distortion on talk, more on the music. NOT on 6000 now but // rather 11760 at S9+10/20 same distortion. Something`s always wrong at RHC, but making a comeback (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9580, Sept 7 at 0245, S9+10/20 of dead air: no doubt supposed to be relay of China at 0100-0300. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760 S8/S9 // 15140 S7/S8, Sept 7 at 1432, RHC in Spanish, good modulation, and a JBA carrier on 15230, when nothing else is listed. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Sun Sept 7 at 1930, RHC S8/9+5 into Knoxville SDR amid English about revolution, 1933 ``coming up next, we`ve got music...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 AM, Sept 7 at 0243, pirate music, S9/+10, storm crashes to +20. Liquid Radio was on here earlier, but no logs later than 0123: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,149861.0.html No other pirates audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 4810, Sept 7 at 0632, JBA carrier presumed R. Logos extended to 24h, but no 4820 Senda Cristiana, per EiBi *off* between 0201* & *0855 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 11785, Sat Sept 6 at 2209, NO signal from VOT English into UTwente, nor on accidentalternate 9875, again rather the off-frequency N Korea 9874.919-. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9750.018+, Sun Sept 7 at 1857, S9+40/50 into UTwente, VOT English starting `Letterbox`. 1) Mrs Leila Bell, Netherlands, listened via UTwente. 2) Satoshi Kamanaka?, Japan, 62 years old. 3) Jayanta Chakraborty, New Delhi, spells her name CEMRE. 4) Dario Santos, Montevideo, Uruguay, CX-0035 and CX2CRV. 5) Siddartha ---, India, Q: is World Organ Donation Day, 13/8 celebrated in Turkey? Yes. T has high rate of living organ donors, 63.8 per million. 6) Michael Witosky?, NY USA, framed previous QSL; Cemre wants photo of his vintage radio. 7) Mark Belart?, Spain. She reads out time, frequency, SINPO of reports which I think are of little interest to bother copying here unless something be amiss. 1915 ``That is all``, 1916 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 379 MCW kHz, Sept 7 at 0636 UT, broken beacon RU, RUssellville AR, 25 watts, instead of RUE, and an underweaker I can`t copy - maybe 400 Watt BRA, Asheville/BRoAd River NC. 392 MCW kHz, Sept 7 at 0647 UT, FMZ, Fairmont/Beklof NE, 25-watt NDB. Note that Beklof is Folkeb spelt backwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 18158 USB, K4LO, Sept 6 at 1910, the SSOB and little else on band, in a `Network One?`` contact. ARRL/FCC lookup: ``WILSON, PHILLIP N, K4LO, 4528 TAMARIND DR, PACE, FL 32571 2850`` Pace is near WJHR Milton, and Pensacola (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2311 monitoring: confirmed Saturday September 6 at 1731 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.000+ S9+10 but with RTTY on the upper side; and 3975.001-, S8/9+5 into UTwente. Not confirmed Saturday September 6 at 1956 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, but N9AZZ remote in IL has a JBA signal with QRM, maybe my voice. Usual problem of no remote close enough in daytime. Not confirmed Saturday September 6 at 2121 the 2100 on WRMI 9395 into N9AZZ IL remote; instead something in German?! then a vegan recipe in English: yes, it`s SMTV cult, which can include various languagebits. WRMI sked is totally screwed up. For this time, the WRMI-6 transmitter sked on 9395 shows System E with R. Slovakia International, rather than WRN for most of System E. The System E program grid still shows WORLD OF RADIO! And so does the System G program grid! Not confirmed Saturday September 6 at 2230 on WRMI 15770 into Maryland SDR; something in Spanish, Argentina mentioned but then music only fill to 2300 VOSR with no ID break. RAE is supposed to be on 5850 System D, but it`s not the same as 15770. System H sked still shows at 2230 Sat, WOR on 15770, and also on 7730, but that has something else, not WOR either. The WRMI skeds are now a total disaster. At least we are still confirmable on IPAR/IRN/NEXUS/IRRS webcast only, Saturday September 6 at 2330, following European Gospel Radio promotion, but I am not introduced as a ministry. Also confirmed UT Sunday September 7 at 0325 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into Georgia SDR at the Brasil-Coari clip, so started about 0322. Also confirmed Sunday September 7 at 1918 the 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1322.994+, S9 into UTwente across Europe. Next: 2100 UT Sunday WRMI 15770 to NE; 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2300 UT Sunday WRMI 9395 to NNW [new]; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 9455 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160 [suspended]; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 and/or 918; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 2330 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. Thanks this week to Russell Lay for financial support, in US funds but not necessarily, via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute via money order or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5907.2, Sept 7 at 0631, JBA S7 parasitic spur carrier from 5920 TOMBS on WTWW which is S9+45; match on the plus side barely detectable on 5932.8 in splash from 5935 WWCR which is QRMing it. Same plus/minus 12.8 kHz JBA parasites out of S9+40/50 9930, Sept 7 at 1430 on 9917.2 & 9942.8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, Sun Sept 7 at 0629, WRMI with WRN going from DW to NHK, as in https://www.encompass.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Encompass_WRN_English_For_North-America_A25.pdf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.9, Sept 7 at 0627, S5/S6 of music JBA, must be WBCQ at typical offfrequenciness. Never accurate program sked shows *off* the air every night from 0400* to *1600. Perhaps it`s World`s Last Chance, with their very own transmitter 9330 still absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1160, Sept 7 at 0713 UT, Rosary in Spanish atop KSL. Only SS:REL fit in NRC AM Log which is Catholic too: KCTO Cleveland MO, U4 5000/230, R. María, address in Liberty MO. Suspect day power as it overcomes 50 kW KSL; however, KSL signal is never very strong here. Radio-locator shows day and night patterns are N/S, not much thisaway. Cleveland is tiny just south of Kansas City, Liberty much larger on north side. Site is further south from Cleveland, right on the KS/MO state line per radio-locator, so which is it, by a few feet? Can`t find exactly what longitude the border be, but FCC license of KCTO shows from 94° 36' 28.80" W. We went into all this last year, reaching contradictory info about which state: see logs of May 27-28 and August 29, 2024 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1190, Sept 7 at 0716 UT, ``True Country KKOJ``. That`s the 5 kW DAYTIMER in Jackson, Minnesota, still cheating and dominant even on my E/W lonwire; see previous logs of Aug 2 & 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1310 kHz, Sept 7 at 0236 UT, gospel huxter in Spanish. Among a few SS:REL formats in NRC AM Log, the closest and far likeliest is: KZIP Amarillo TX, U1 1000/88 watts, Radio Vida. Should be on night power by now, doubt it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 7 from 0218, tuning upward in USB, 1 kHz below 9/kHz channels: not much, 711, 1125?, 1305? And from 0226 tuning upward in LSB, 1 kHz above 9/kHz channels: 882, 1035?, 1278?, 1305 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 773 kHz, Sept 7 at 0225 UT, JBA carrier amid TA bandscan, NOT 774, very strange (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1430 kHz, Sept 7 at 0238 UT, conversation in Spanish, a bit better on E/W than N/S antenna. Only Mexican is in Tlaxcala, that would be nice. Most US are too far, too weak, or too religious; leaving least unlikely as: WEEF Deerfield IL U4 1600/750 Brokered/ETH/SS but both patterns have a notch to the SW and no website or program schedule available to check when it`s Spanish; leaving: KMES Ogden UT, U4 25/5 kW, SS:REL, Esne Radio: day pattern not major lobe thisaway but not a notch either; night pattern similar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1940 UT September 7 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
