** CUBA. 6000, Oct 20 at 0142, S9 of dead air, at 0151 no signals on
11760 or 9710 or 13780. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9580, Oct 20 at 0150, S9+10 of dead air in English from CRI
relay. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 13640, Oct 20 at 0152, informal W&M chat in
American English, so must be CRI; yes, Kashgar to Europe at least, but
S9+20/30 way over here with some flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. Uncle Bill Tilford replies to my log of his Melting Pot on
Channel 292: ``Thanks for listening, Glenn. I will be pausing 6070 and
9670 (while adding an additional on 3955) until the semiannual traffic
jams on and near the first two frequencies sort themselves out. The
Kyrgyz jaw-harp piece must have sounded even more exotic than intended
with some of the QRM in back of it. :)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 1323, Sun Oct 19 at 2057, surprised to hear Wavescan already
starting, on IRRS via AM Italia, as I bring up UTwente about to change
it to 15770 for WOR. Indeed, WS on NEXUS/IBA sked to start at 2100.
I`ve not noticed WOR commencing before its scheduled hours (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 28465 USB, Oct 20 at 0156, ZL1A## calling
USA stations but only heard their calls not his more than once,
S9+20/30 much better than 17675 RNZP! And almost the OSOB this late
except for a Portuguee on 28455 at 0203, perhaps Brasil (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.9 AM, Oct 20 at 0143, ``KLSR1650.com`` and
Hallowe`en talk, S9+10, music. Reported here as Liquid Radio with KLSR
1650 simulcast:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,152272.0.html
Despite the call and MW frequency there is no such station on the air
but FAQ implies it operates legally online only. Off by next check
0206 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Here are some shots of the NO KINGS protest in Enid OK the
afternoon of October 18, 2025 at the intersexion of US412 & US 81
a.k.a. Van Buren & Garriott, which happens to be near the source of
Virtual DJ Radio on 1680 kHz; against the fellown who is almost
succeeding in DESTROYING THE VOICE OF AMERICA among countless other
crimes:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2317 monitoring: confirmed Sunday October 19
at 2100 on WRMI 15770, S7/S8 into UTwente where it`s aimed.

Also confirmed Sunday October 19 at 2300 on WRMI 9395, S9/+20 into
Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed Sunday October 19 at 2330 on WRMI 9455, S9+30/40
direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA direct
but S9/+10 into Knoxville SDR.

Also confirmed new UT Monday October 20 at 0030 on WRMI 9455, S9+10/20
into Knoxville. These two are not synchronized, separate playouts on
different Systems.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 20 from 0303 on Area 51 webcast;
while WBCQ 5130 -87 Hz = 5129.913, S9+10/20 into Vermont SDR cut to
sign-off at 0300, OC to 0302*. Preceding was `Lost Discs Radio Show`,
must have been very old as claimed to be on 7415 and 5110; and also at
a different time on CKDU 88.1 Halifax; lostdiscsradioshow.tripod.com
and that forwards to https://www.lostdiscsradio.com/ with 2025 dates
and audio of recent shows (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, UT Mon Oct 20 at 0129 still a VG signal from WRMI,
really aimed to S America? Concluding RTI in Spanish, but at 0154 I
notice it`s not Slovakia in English but gospel huxter; grid shows RSI
on UT Tue-Sat only. // much weaker 5800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 780, re inaccurate timechex heard on WBBM Chicago, a lot
more:

``WBBM overnights --- Mr. Hauser, WBBM-AM /105.9FM from
10pm-12midnight (CLT) gives their time as "xx minutes after the hour."
At midnight, they replay "The Noon Business hour." At 1 and 3 AM, the
10PM CLT hour of WBBM is repeated. The 2 and 4 AM hours are repeats of
the 11PM CLT news hours.

The traffic reports overnight are anything but live! Road/lane
closures are all that is covered. Weather has generic forecasts. No
actual temperatures are given. Too, when things don't line up (in
automation) there are plenty of pauses and dead air from time to
time.  

What is telling is at 5:08AM CLT when the first traffic report for AM
drive is given, you'll hear "an accident that happened around 2, this
morning" or similar, that was never covered in pre-recorded traffic
reports, in Market #3!

The newscaster is on live or recorded from 7PM to 5AM!

Hauser, WOR)

** VATICAN [and non]. 7305, Oct 20 at 0146, VR in Spanish with RCC
stuff, S9+20/30 so I could easily believe it`s again relay by
Greenville, violating Separation Of Church & State. No other Eurish
signals on 7 MHz band except weak 7260 Turkey. But I suppose still
direct; 9490 ISSoudun R. República also VG S9+30/40 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
