 ** ALGERIA. 891 kHz, Oct 27 at 0605 UT, het upon WLS. Long time since I`ve heard this, presumed rather than a Cuban spoiler. No other TA carriers noted but not a thoro scan, no 531 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Oct 27 at 1350, RHC with S9 of almost dead air, except scratchy modulation peaks; also on weaker 13780 with mod and 15140 with its squeal. Also 11760 at 1427, S6/S8 music. Somethings always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [non]. 15380, Oct 27 at 1603, R. Martí on new Greenville/Grimesland frequency as B25 registered, VG S9 into Ft Lauderdale SDR. Seems sporadic operation, but better be on every day now --- and night? --- as Hurricane Melissa is heading toward eastern Cuba, talking about that. Also on 13820 S9+10, which is the usual B-frequency instead of A-frequency 13605; and 11930 S6/S8 but not 11860, that replaced by 15380? Not on 15330 either, a new registered channel. In addition to the usual 9, 7 and 6 MHz frequencies later into evening, these are available as in HFCC: 15380 16-21, 15330 16-21, 13820 15-22, 11930 14-24, 11860 14-23 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21660, Oct 27 at *1500, Issoudun cuts on with music, S8/S9 into Azores SDR; 1502 French lady into marine weather for Mini TransAt race. VG signal, but JBA pulsetones underneath as if jamming, but nothing else here to victimize. At 1509 she switches to English: ```Hi, everybody...`` 1516 mixes languages. In both she`s repeatedly saying ``November`` and ``Whiskey`` to make it absolutely clear that the geo coordinates cited are North, and West --- where else in this TA environment?? Into Maryland remote it`s S6/S8; 1537 into music until chopoff at 1600* sharp (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 660 kHz, Oct 27 at 0608 UT, Mexican NA, into ID as ``ABC Deportes, Monterrey``; and at 0612 slogan ``sabemos cómo se juega``, ``La Bamba``. It`s XEFZ, 10/1 kW. Dominant among QRM, not including KTNN which has been off for over a week - and when on, would be well heard here only when failing to direxionalize away from NYC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 12100 USB, Oct 27 at 1740, pirate music, S4/S6 into N9AZZ IL remote. Tnx tip in the WOR indian ocean group at 1730: ``Mix Radio International on 12100 USB --- I've been listening via an SDR in Wisconsin since about 1650 UTC. This pirate's playing contemporary electronic music with IDs every few minutes or so. Upon checking, I can hear this station via SDRs from the East Coast out to Utah right now. But it's not making it out directly to the Pacific Northwest so far. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington`` ID finally at 1748. Still going at 1835, 1857, 1901, 1912, 1958, 2010+ chex. Audio is quite tinny at least via this remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PHILIPPINES. 11599.98, Oct 27 at 1428, Chinese, at first assumed CNR1, or rather Sound of Hope since slightly off-frequency - but FEBC now scheduled from Iba site at 1400-1600, 100 kW at 300 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Oct 27 at 2300, VOT is JBA direct with timesignal, opening English at new B25 time and frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 6125.005+, Oct 27 at 0400, VOT English to NAm, VG into UTwente, new B25 time and frequency; also 7285.017- S9/+20 for S Asia off the back. This transmission always swaps 49 and 41 mbs for these targets from season to season. Now it`s INTRUDING into N American hamband; why do HFCC & ITU allow this? S/on now claims it`s 1330 on 13635, which is the first and only English broadcast daily, replayed five times, so by 0400 UT next day, the ``news`` is really OLDs! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 13635, Oct 27 at 1345, VOT English, S5/S7 direct. Only now the IDs would be correct when claiming to be on 13635 during all English repeats. For B25 replaces 17620 at 1230. It`s 250 kW at 310 degrees for W Europe, and incidentally onward USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 15350, Oct 27 at 1351, S7/S9 of strumming, 1353 Turkish announcement, 1355 TRT IS, off by 1400. It`s 0700-1400 at 300 degrees for W Europe but keeps on going (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 7285, Oct 27 at 0558, BBC S7 in English. Via ASCENSION this hour 05-06 only; unlike Turkey an hour earlier, this is not intruding into our hamband as it`s aimed 65 degrees for Africa; and only half-power 125 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Only obvious match in NRC AM Log is WMBD Peoria IL, U4 5/5 kW, the 100.3 only a mere translator, W262BY. Night pattern somewhat pulled in to the SW, but not a notch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 2017 UT October 27 _ 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/
