UNIDENTIFIED. Re: "1440+ & 1460-, Apr 5 at 0257 UT bandscan, again
hearing those matching JBA carriers implying they are spurs out of one
of the 160+ USA 1450 stations. One I measure approx. 1458.4. Wonder if
Tim Hall has found anything further about this from his Border Inn
recordings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)"

Hi Glenn, After two or three unusually busy weeks, I'm back to
reviewing my recordings, and have finally started to do what I should
have done when I first noticed these spurs: I've started a simple grid
(antennas on one axis, hour-of-day on the other), and will start
making note of where these carriers have been appearing in my
recordings. My initial guess is that the spurs will show up (with good
strength) in so many of my recordings as to be of limited use, but
perhaps they will be missing from a few wires and/or hours of day, and
give us a little clue. Conditions were very favorable to northern
states that weekend, and very unfavorable to southern states, so that
may pose a challenge as well. I had northern stations all over my
southern wires in these recordings.

By far the most consistently present station on 1450 across all of my
recordings was KBFS {Belle Fourche SD}, so they remain my initial
prime suspect; however, the fact that the spurs are present on so many
of my recordings could also support your preliminary DF indicating the
station might be closer to me, perhaps in UT or WY. It may take a
while for me to gather enough data to be useful, but I will keep you
posted when I finally have a good sample.

One interesting experiment (which I should also try here at home if I
ever get the time) would be to check for the spurs shortly before the
top of the hour, then if they are present, tune to 1450 and see if you
hear KBFS' "Close Encounters" theme (5 notes) around the top of the
hour. Those 5 notes pierce through the interference like a mini DX
test at the top of every hour. 73 Tim Hall, April 6 (via Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, April 6 at 0702 UT, local news mentions Scott
County, no further clues. There are 11 states with a Scott County,
many of them with a 1590, but would have to check each one whether a
1590 be local, near or far. Yet most likely my closest, Kansas, county
in the west, KVGB Great Bend near the center, U2 5/5 kW. I was
checking whether `Ambiente Clásico` WCGO Evanston IL were still
audible, as it`s authorized to double-decimate night power from 2.5 kW
to 24 watts! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6915 AM, Apr 5 at 0223, S9+10 pirate music. These
say it`s R. Free Euphonia:

** NORTH AMERICA. 9980 DSB, Apr 5 at 0233, S9+20/30 of ``pumping``
music like what was just on 6935 AM, now off. This signal is very
unusual: LSB and USB, but NO carrier! Upon first hitting it I wondered
if WWCR had reactivated a transmitter on this ex-frequency. By next
check 0237 it`s moved again to 9975 USB only. Still same at 0248. Many
reports earlier from 2213, no 9980 but until 0116 of 9965/9975, as
unID but some think it`s Mix Radio:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, April 5 at 0234, ``Bunny not Funny`` song
S9+20, ID as Radio Bunny. Other reports of Easter show:

** ROMANIA. 11790, April 5 at 0705, S7/S9 Romanian talk, news? with
sounders. This RRI hour is Sundays only from Galbeni to Mideast. Lang
ID tip: frequent ``she`` which means ``and`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, April 4 at 2233, poor S7/S9 into UTwente, seems
like Turkish music, 2237 talk maybe in English; 2239 familiar sounder;
2247 recognizable multi-lingual ID filler reel, 2254 IS and off. Prop
over Europe really degraded; K index at 21 was 3.67, with G2/R2 storms
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11660, Sun Apr 5 at 1637, no VOT signal into UTwente or
Hyderabad, India, so no early monitoring of the `Letterbox` this week
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9750.018, Sun Apr 5 at 1840 t/in, VOT English S9+35/50 into
UTwente, I catch the second repeat of `Letterbox` which has already
started into first one, Ricky Hein in Rapid City SD, as ever,
complaining about reception: 11785 at 22-23 is SINPO 11111 with QRM
from something on 11780 {Brasil, of course}; and 7275 at 03-04 is no
good for him either, SINPO 15111. As usual, Cemre says this has been
passed on to Emirler and they are looking into it. 2) Mr. S--
Makunda?, Birmingham UK, 11780 is 45444 for him. 3) Mohammed
Breyel, near KL, Malaysia, for 11660 at 1635, QSL? Again I raise the
question whether this is the same DXer known as Timm Breyel there, or
are they related? I can`t be sure if Moh. spells surname same way,
never seen, only heard it. 4) Chris Malbuff? or something like that,
Port Alberni BC, listened via UTwente to 9750 but OTHR QRM from 9740.
5) Siddartha Pattajarjee?, W Bengal, is 24 March celebrated as World
TB Day in Turkey? It is observed. How many TB cases, 10-11K per year!
1853 ending, 1854 theme, 1855 multi-lingual ID filler reel (Glenn

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2341 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 4 at 1935 the now 1930 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S5/S7 into Maryland
SDR.

As usual and I fear for the rest of spring/summer, cannot confirm
nominal 1930 Sat Apr 4 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, as none of the remotes
nearby, not even the one in St Louis, can hear it above the rather
extreme daytime noise levels.

Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 2000 on WRN Europe stream.

Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 2100 on WRMI 9395, immediately
following a DXtra.com commercial by Jeff White. Note: an example of
why I open and close each WOR with ``standard disclaimer`` -- I have
nothing to do with adjacent commercials; or any other opinions.

Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, S7/9+5, and
17790, S9+10, both into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 2357 the 2330 on
IRRS/NEXUS/IPAR/IBA webcast only, an hour earlier than during winter
time.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 5 at 0314 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
already a few minutes into; ARRL news had started at 0301, S9+10, so
wasn`t expecting WOR earlier than 0315.

Also confirmed Sunday April 5 at 0656 the 0630 on WRN via WRMI, 5850,
S9+30 and 7780, S7/9+5, but no others.

Not confirmed Sunday April 5 at 0930 on IRRS via Romania, 9510; nor
was expecting to but happened to awaken so checked. It was confirmed
last week by Rumen Pankov, Bulgaria.

Also confirmed Sunday April 5 at 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.996-, S9 into UTwente, immediately after 7290 s/off announcement.

** U S A. 5800, UT Sun Apr 5 at 0216, WRMI-11 talking about ICOM
America and ARRL; i.e. `CQ Calling` show on System D (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5907.1 & 5932.9 approx., matching spurs from 5920 WTWW +/-
12.9 kHz, so it`s the same transmitter which spews these from 5085 and
sometimes 9930. The upper one is severely QRMed by 5935 WWCR splash
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9917.16 & 9942.84 approx., matching spurs out of 9930 WTWW
with TOMBS, some modulation, April 5 at 1444. This is the #2
transmitter instead of the usual #1 which doesn`t provide such spurs.
These are only S7/S9 while fundamental 9930 is S9+40/45. George says
#1 was down due to a water leak, but soon to be resumed (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, Apr 5 at 0228, no signal from WINB; rather early to be
off? Own sked shows `Moment of Truth` starting at 0230 for a
sesquihour, then last program `Worship at Home` from 0400 with no
endtime. Maybe it`s an Easter thing. 9275 also off: After Saturday
sunset = UT Sunday, their Sabbath is over, but WMLK is never in a
hurry to get working, back onto the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1440+ & 1460-, Apr 5 at 0257 UT bandscan, again hearing
those matching JBA carriers implying they are spurs out of one of the
160+ USA 1450 stations. One I measure approx. 1458.4. Wonder if Tim
Hall has found anything further about this from his Border Inn
recordings (Glenn Hauser,OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9177-9201 approx, April 5 at 0706, huge wideband
multi-carrier, multi-tones beating against each other, peaking S9+20
amid, but totally cutting off and on. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9684, Apr 5 at 0232, RTTY warble INTRUDING. At 0249, JBA
carrier with Doppler flutter, maybe the same RTTY now idling (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21645, 21725, 25695, April 5 at 0210-0212 JBA carriers
with Doppler flutter. None of these in A26 HFCC, so I bet they be CNR1
jammers vs Sound of Hope. Aoki and EiBi agree at least about 21645.
This was as I was getting R. Japan on 21500, q.v. See also numerous
ChiComs on 17 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
