** CHINA. 13570, Nov 23 at 0357, fluttery S5/S7 signal, per EiBi CRI
Xian to Siberia, English 03-05, Mandarin 05-07; per HFCC 500 kW at 354
degrees. Not easily confused with HLL Seoul Meteo Fax at 00-12,
unheard. These and R. Martí are doing no favors to the HIFER beacons
in the 13550-13570 ISM band, none of which I have even detected in
many months, mostly less than 10 kHz below 13570 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CHINA [non]. 9790, Nov 23 at 0355, American English chat about
Olympix, therefore CRI via CUBA, S9+20/30 somewhat undermodulated but
sufficient. Something`s not very wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Nov 23 at 0346, S9+20/30 of dead air, in English or
Spanish? 9710, Nov 23 at 0353, S9+10 of dead air, ditto. 11760, Nov 23
at 0356, S9+10 of dead air except for windhowl. Somethings always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [non]. 6030 // 7355 // 7435, UT Sun Nov 23 at 0347, R. Martí
still on in Spanish, music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 15445, Nov 23 at 0358, song, Chinese sounding,
S7/S9 one of better signals on band, CRI Russian via Kashgar at 04-06,
500 kW at 308 degrees. Std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21660, Nov 23 at 1501, MiniTransAt still airing, YL in
English mentions Guadeloupe, but too weak to copy direct. Probably off
long before next check at 1526 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA SOUTH. 6155, Nov 23 at 0752, algo JBA, nothing listed now in
Aoki & EiBi, but KBSWR at 0800-1000 in Japanese (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 9755, Nov 23 at 0354, S9/+10 mentions `Enfoque en la
Familia`, therefore a gospel huxter; MWV as sked to SAm 02-04 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 338 MCW kHz, Nov 23 at 0734 UT, TU, NDB `Oillr`, Tulsa,
power unknown; usually I hear if anything on 338, RYN, 400 watts at
`Ryan` Tucson AZ (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 9720, Nov 23 at 0354, folk music from RRI Spanish via
Galbeni for Central America, S9+40/50 one of the SSOB (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Nov 22 at 2319, VOT English not off
the air, S9+40 into UTwente; however, fails to provide extraneous
German at next check 0030 Nov 23, only Chinese and close to
on-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9660.008, Sun Nov 23 at 1747, VOT English, S9+5/25 into
UTwente starting `Letterbox`, Cemre anticipates Poland, Canada,
Russia, India. 1) Jamahar Almeida, Goa, India, tnx for QSL, has
visited Istanbul, wants another QSL, will transit Istanbul again on
way to visit North Macedonia. Cemre about rules for number of minarets
on mosques: maximum 6, usually less. 1751 transmission break less than
a minute. 2) P--?, Vilnius, Lithuania, with QR code. 3) Lee? Ying?,
Fujian, East Asia, Chinese at 1230 on 17775. 4) Mr Francis Mohler?,
Ireland, email in ALL CAPS shows enthusiasm. 5) Pakajarjee?, is World
Immunization Day 10 November celebrated in Turkey? No answer but all
children are mandatorily immunized free. 6) Mr Liam? Spencer,
Berthoud?, Colorado, 16-year-old. 1803-1804 another transmission
break. 7) Mr Jaszek? --?, Poland, report of 9980 at 2048 - must have
meant 5980. 8) Mr Daryl?, ? Lamar?, Missouri. Fading down, making copy
more difficult. 9) Mr Andres? --, Ontario, Canada. At 1812 fading way
down to S6/S8, really can`t copy anything more. 1817 detect the theme
playing for closing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K O G B A N I. 5450 USB, Nov 23 at 0344 VOLMET in English, but
not all English units, S9/+10. EiBi shows RAF from site ic which means
``one of: Inskip (Lancashire) 53N50-02W50 / St.Eval (Cornwall)
50N29-05W00 / Crimond (Aberdeenshire) 57N37-01W53`` -- do they
alternate or deliberately obfuscate? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 9765, Sat Nov 22 at 2046, JBA S6/S7 between noise
bursts into Nailsea UK remote, Global Talk America, in Hausa,
improving slightly by 2058, mentioned Hausa and `Amurka`. Had tried
numerous other remotes in Europe, Africa but no significant signal
from listed Woofferton site for this new service, in HFCC as Mon-Sat
only at 2030-2100. So Encompass is handling it. Which KiwiSDR
remote(s) inside UKOGBANI are close enough to WOF for easy groundwave
reception? GTA started one week ago Nov 15, also with morning airing at 0500-0530
on 6170 via Ascension, where Gianni Serra, Italy first reported it to
the WOR iog on Nov 21. Just in case, I check 6170 at 0500 Nov 23, but
no signal since it`s UT Sunday. Has led to much discussion in WOR iog. Summarizing: based in
Washington DC, seems well-developed already, suspected initiated by
ex-VOA Hausa service staffers; already being relayed by various FM
stations in Nigeria, elsewhere. So are there going to be more
successor language services replacing VOA crushed by Trump? I retyped portions of the Instagram page

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2322 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
November 22 at 1830 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.002, S7/S9 into
UTwente. 6160 remains off, occupied by the ChiCom. Also confirmed Saturday November 22 at 2030 on WRN via WRMI 9395,
S7/9+5 into Georgia SDR. But not on WRMI webcast only, rather music. Also confirmed Saturday November 22 at 2055 about 26 minutes into so
started circa 2029 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VP S5 into N9AZZ IL
remote. Also confirmed Saturday November 22 at 2100 on WRN Europe stream. Also confirmed Saturday November 22 at 2200 on WRMI 9395, S9+30 into
Georgia SDR. Also confirmed Saturday November 22 at 2230 on WRMIs 17790 S7/9 and
15770 S9+25 both direct. Not confirmed UT Sun Nov 23 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, supposed to
make-good for wrong episode last night; stayed on until 0437* chop
with Truth2Ponder instead. Maybe tomorrow night UT Monday?? Confirmed UT Sunday November 23 until 0451.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
good S9+5 into N9AZZ remote, but VP direct; so must have started about
0423. Confirmed Sunday November 23 at 0730 on WRN via WRMIs direct: 5850
S9+20/30, 7570 S9, 7780 S8/S9, 7730 JBA, and no signal on 15770
probably on but not propagating. At 0800, 5850, 7570 & 7780 split into
three different programs. 5850 transition again very rough, at first,
``Welcome to Encore``, then cut to ``The Bible Answers``. ``World of Radio at 1030 on 9510 this Sunday (regularly heard since
the beginning of the B25 season) with edition 2322. But IRRS schedule
not updated, French is still listed at this time: https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/sunday-program-schedule/
Regards, Jean-Michel Aubier, France`` Also confirmed Sunday November 23 at 1137 when I happen to awaken on
WRN via WRMIs at 1130 on 7570 S9+15, and 7780 S8/S9. And not on any
others on air and audible, 9395, 7730, 5850. Per skedgrid, 7570 & 7780
are the only two frequencies with WRN at this hour, System E. Yet the
System E sked itself claims at 11-12, 9395 is the only frequency!

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Nov 23 at 0351, WBCQ SuperStition is still silent.
Absence first noticed Nov 21 at 2320, so that`s at least 28.5 hours.
What`s wrong? Still missing Nov 23 at 1721 = 42 hours (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. 670, Sun Nov 23 at 0741 UT, WSCR Chicago with talkhost
mentioning that Infinity Sports Radio was CBS Sports, and from 2026
will be on Westwood One. And he`s ``The Good Shepherd[?]`` again.
Wikipedia shows ``The Good Shepard (David Shepard) Saturdays, Sundays
2 a.m.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1030 kHz, November 23 at 0728 UT, Spanish ``y 101.5 FM``,
Mexmx; at 0738, ``Ambiente 10-30``. Ajá, that makes it WGSF Memphis
TN, as in NRC AM Log ``Radio Ambiente``, U12 50000/1000 watts and CH
10000. U12 means ND daytime and Critical Hours, direxional at night.
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WGSF&service=AM&h=N
shows broadlobes from NW to SW to SE, notch to NE protecting WBZ from
site clearly in TN. NRC AM Log does not show any FM for it, nor
radio-locator, while WTFDA FM Database shows *two* 101.5 translators
in Memphis at exactly same location, but neither for WGSF! K268DA for
WGUE 1180 in Spanish, and W268DD for WREC 600. Seems we have
discovered another translator jumble. Just in case, I search the
entire FM list for any Ambiente on 101.5: none. Own website is
homepage only https://ambiente1030.com/ not showing any FM, but
``Ambiente 1030 Radio Nos estamos renovando, regresa pronto`` Anyhow,
this has been dominating 1030 rather than other SS such as KCTA or
KCWJ or XEQR; at least on my E/W longwire rather than N/S (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1470.02, Nov 23 at 0723 UT, LAH on plus side as often
noted in bandscans. Nothing fits in mwoffsets list (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1550.31, Nov 23 at 0722 UT, JBA carrier hetting 1550.0
stations. I continue to wonder if it`s XEREL Morelia, a signal last
year on the minus side of 1550, but not 100% confirmed (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, Nov 23 at 0342, JBA carrier again direct. Gotta be
something, ute, unknown broadcaster or Enidic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1956 UT November 23
