** BRAZIL. 28400 USB, Sept 30 at 2203, PU2OPR calling CQ. QRZ.com:

Martos Filho, 294, Jd. Itamaraty, OURINHOS, SP 19904250, Brazil``

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 30 at 0510, RHC dead air or JBM? into ATS-909
portable. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, Sept 30 at 1454, S7/S8 of JBM RHC Spanish; even weaker
JBA on 11760 maybe //. 15230 with S7/9+5 of dead air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, Sept 30 at 2159, RHC in Spanish, S9+10/20
undermodulated; at 2210, 15230 is S9/+10 of deadair and 13780 S9+20
undermod. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17545, Tue Sept 30 at 1511, Issoudun with Mini Trans-At
yacht race weather info, S3/S6 into Azores SDR but quite sufficient.
YL in French with spoken rather than faxed weather maps. I can`t
imagine how contestants could make any sense of this as their boats
rock around. They are supposed to copy all this data and draw their
own maps? Direxions N/E/W/S are obvious in coordinates, but every time
she clarifies the letter with November, EEcho, Whisky, or Sierra. 1514
switches to English, with forecasts at least into Thursday. 1528
closing, ``happy birthday`` to whom? and song. 1528 French and English
talking about a Portuguese song, ``à demain``. But songs with heavy
beat keep playing for a semihour until abrupt chop at 1557*. 

Unclear to me status of race which had been suspended due to
hurricane. Anyhow the wx broadcasts continue. Previous few days others
reported the broadcasts lasted only a few minutes from 1500. All the
info here:

for Canaries (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 12025, Sept 30 at 2213, no signal of R. Farda via

in Sept (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9765, Sept 30 at 2215, S9+20 poorsig in Portuguese
referring to a versículo, so a gospel huxter. Yes, MWV sked this hour,
*much* weaker than SimulArabic on 11610 thisaway by coincidence. Was
down for a day or two due to disturbances in the country (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Sept 30 at 2217, pirate music poor S9+10,

propagation disturbed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004, Sept 30 at 2158, VOT not off the air, but IS VP
S9/+10 direct. At 2250 into UTwente when measured, VP noisy S7/S9 with
music. 2254 s/off, 2255 IS, off by 2255.5*: rarely so horrible into
UTwente, propagation degraded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790 S9+30 and unusually // 15770 S9+20, Tue Sept 30 at
2157, WRMI closing ``God Is Just A Prayer Away`` gospel huxter from
Lynchburg OH. By next check 2208, 17790 is off, no PRES Poland via WRN
like yesterday, and 15770 in usual Taiwan Spanish. GIJAPA is on System
F redsked supposedly on 15770 only, Tue only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, Sept 30 at 1450, no signal from WMLK, just as there
was no 17525 yesterday afternoon. And again Sept 30 at 2158, 17525
off. Something`s botched at Bethel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15460, Sept 30 at 1451, drumming and other music, S7/S9
the SSOB. Nothing listed in Aoki, EiBi or latest HFCC Sept 28, just
Reach Beyond Australia at 1200-1400 only, in complex sked of S Asian
languages in quarter-hour blox depending on day of week. This signal
does reek of RBA anyway with TE advantage, high K-index of 5 and 2/3
at 1500.

Still going at 1630 as David Ross asks me about it - at 1635 playing
`Somewhere/Someday` from W Side Story, instrumental, then jazz. I
check remotes in India and Thailand, which are *not* getting it.

At 1648, UTwente has S7 in noise on 15460.013+.

Then I try TDOA, but only get two running, Brazil and South Africa,
who declare at 1654, ``most likely`` FWIW not much, 39.50/75.00, i.e.
somewhere in central Asia, like Kashgar? Off at 1700*, no
announcements ever heard.

It came back on after 1800, again nothing but music, mostly jazz?,
until 1901*. Others hearing it, suggest from inside USA, like a
Greenville test (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

about Poland, 2206 ID as ``Polish Radio, weekday public affairs

is indeed time for PRES on WRN (BTW, link to NAm sked reaches one
labeled Africa/Asia/Pacific, but has been identical to NAm for several
years now, unlike Europe stream.) WRMI skedgrid for #7 on 17790 says
finishing at 2200, and no WRN relays that hour. However System E sked
indeed shows WRN at 22-23 daily on 17790, 7570, 5950, 5050 - the
others I cannot hear, nor tell what`s on JBA 9955.

15770, meanwhile at 2221 Sept 29, is as usual in Spanish from TAIWAN,

producing an hour of classical music fortnightly. A great mix of the
familiar and the unfamiliar, with just enough introductory info, but
mostly music. This time, including `Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas
Tallis`, by Ralph Vaughn-Williams, a beautiful piece that gives me
goosebumps, until 0234. There`s a mailing list previewing each
edition, such as on Sept 18:

going.

THE DONATION BUTTON is on the homepage of the website -
www.tumbril.co.uk - which folks can use if they would like to support
Encore.

(Please don't be put off by the POWR security wall when using the
PAYPAL button - it is a harmless requirement of WIX the website
hosting service.)

by WRMI at 0200 UTC on 5850, and 2000 UTC on 15770 and then Channel

The programme finishes with three piano etudes from Hélène de
Montgeroult, and the first movement of Viola Concerto No. 3 by

** U S A. 5935, Sept 29 at 0546 for at least two minutes, dead air

app for sounds like ``La Pino Max``, or Mas, ``en todas partes``.
Nothing similar among US stations in NRC AM Log. Usual heard is WIJR
Highland IL, La Tremenda. Mexico? IRCA Log shows only one, in Chihua2,
and it`s silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 890, Sept 29 at 0547 UT, under WLS, unusually another
talk station in English, can`t tell if religious. Possibly KTLR OKC
daytimer. What is status of KDXU St George UT? Was U2 10/10 kW but
with CP for U1 25000/108 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 980, Sept 29 at 0546 UT, Mexmxmix, rather than usual
KMBZ Kansas City dominant. If really SS:REL, most likely KQUE Pasadena
TX. Very few USSS and non-religious: most likely KFWB Los Angeles CA;
but Mexico? IRCA Log has three on 980, but only one possibly active,
XELC La Piedad, Mich, 5000/200 Radio Pía, unlikely (Glenn Hauser, OK,

General 2007-2012, and she interviewed him at the 2010 EDXC conference
in Ankara. Plays recording of that, lamenting SW stations closing
down, etc. I find this about him:

Finally at 1701 on to the E- and P-mail: 1) Mr Allan Willie,
Carbonear, Newfoundland, sent 103! reception reports of VOT he has
ammassed, should be of great interest to engineering. 2) Chakrobarty,
New Delhi, about ``failed justice`` report of Israel killing
American/Turkish person, genocide. 3) Miss Leila? Bass?, Netherlands,
listened to French via UTwente, 14 Hz offset from 17740, QRM, but
better than she can get it at home in Hampshire UK. 4) Eric Brummer?,
11540 report. 5) Mr Shangang? Kong, Zhejiang, China, two reports from
June, July, heard German instead of Chinese scheduled. 6) Paul
Simmonds, Adelaide SA, heard Persian. 1716 end of episode including

NOT confirmed Saturday September 27 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, where had
been for a few weeks. Replaced without notice by music, into UTwente,
while 7730 still both showing on System K WRMI skedgrid, is axually
airing the SMTV cult.

Confirmed UT Sunday September 28 from 0305, the 0315v early on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, Wentzville MO, S9+10 and `local` quality into N9AZZ SDR,
unlike first airing in afternoon - except, completely overridden
several times a minute by an extremely wideband multitonal - H2Ofall
shows covers entire HF band - must be something local to N9AZZ in
Cartersville.

** U S A. ``WRMI Radio Miami International 5d ·  We Pluribus debuts on
WRMI --- We hope it’s something different on Saturday evenings and
something you enjoy. The Show is called “We Pluribus” and your host is
Mike Cheselka. He’ll be on from 9 PM to 10 PM Eastern, 9395 KHz.
(That's 0100-0200 UTC Sunday.) He says he created the show in hopes of
appealing to both sides, bringing everyone together. Tune in to see
what you think`` (WRMI FB Sept 20)

I find that it originates at WHBC 1480 Canton OH:
https://www.whbc.com/shows/wordstock-with-mike-cheselka/

And make a point of listening UT Sunday Sept 28 at 0100-0159 on WRMI
9395, S9+10/20 into Georgia SDR, fading down somewhat. This week he`s
in Las Vegas NV. Opens with about one minute of `news` with Julie -
only two items: Comey prosecuted, Tylenol. Then Mike talks ``this
morning`` - he`s extremely critical of tRump, justifiably, sounds fine
to me, but I don`t see how he is appealing to the side of the Magats!
He thinx we have five years to get the country straightened out. He`s
certainly a breath of fresh air vs all the far-right/gospel huxters
infesting US SW. Gives a phone number altho obviously not live; wants
to facilitate listener call-ins later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, Sept 27 at 2355, WTWW TOMBS without all the spurs or
splash, just those discrete parasites on 9917.2 and 9942.8. How about
its successor 5920 which was horrible last night? Sept 28 at 0212 it`s
clean, not even the plus/minus 12.8 kHz parasites. Of course, I had
notified George about the galaxy of 86x kHz spurs. 5085 is still off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5907.10, Sept 28 at 0631, spur of WTWW 5920 which is S9+30;
closer to 12.9 than usual 12.8 kHz offset. Can`t dig the mirror match
from 5932.9, too much 5935 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1370, Sept 28 at 0701 UT, fleeting ID as 94.7 FM, KWRT.com.
First, hunting for a 1370/94.7 match, NRC AM Log and WTFDA FM DB both
come up with only: KXTL McQueen Montana with K234AT. But the `KWRT` ID
should override that, so what about it? 1370 U1 1000/84 watts
Boonville MO with K254DE on 98.7 per NRC AM Log. Then searching for
website, KWRT.com is something else; really https://www.1370kwrt.com/
where they also claim to be on 98.7 - contradixion after contradixion.
Boonville is just west of Columbia in central MO (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15870, Sept 27 at 2341, S9 open carrier and no Doppler
flutter, unlike so many obviously FE/China carriers on this and higher
bands. Aoki & EiBi show 15870 only with CNR1/Firedrake jamming and
Sound of Hope, up to 24 hours, but suspect something else (Glenn

direct; not on 11760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 13605, 11930, 11860, Sat Sept 27 at 1903, LV del
Trumpismo not off the air this weekend, but music instead of news on
the hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. 17545, Sept 27 at 1528, JBA carrier direct from
Issoudun, but into Azores SDR, VG S9+10/20. For the Mini Transat yacht
race, maritime weather voiced rather than faxed maps! YL in English,
heavy French accent so a real person? Surely a robot could speak clear
English. Frequent mentions of ``November`` refer to the direxion
North, as in Geo coördinates; likewise South = sierra, West = whiskey;
and East = echo pronounced eek-oh. I thought this race had been
suspended due to hurricane in the way? Anyway, forecasts for next few
days. 

1543 she starts saying ``finally...``; 1544 ``that`s all for today,
take care, talk to you tomorrow, à demain`` - the only French heard;
entirely in French earlier in the 1500 hour. 1544 heavy beat music.
1545 open carrier to 1546*. Supposedly also on 7340 from ISS, but no
signal into Azores, and at UTwente, only something else, presumably
East Turkistan, PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi in Kazakh at 2300-1800!

Alan Pennington posted all about it yesterday to the British DX Club:

``The biennial Mini Transat single-handed yacht race (sponsored by La
Boulangère) began on Sunday 21st September with 90 small (6.50m) boats
sailing from Les Sables d'Olonne in France, with a destination on the
first stage of the race, Santa Cruz de la Palma in the Canary Islands.
(The second stage is scheduled to begin from La Palma on 25th October,
destination Guadeloupe.)

One feature of the race is participants use paper charts and only have
a VHF radio (with around 10 mile coverage). But there is a daily
shortwave broadcast in French and English giving them weather
conditions.

Two frequencies are registered on HFCC for these daily Mini Transat
(MT) weather forecasts at 1500-1600 UTC: 7340 and 17545 kHz (both 250
kilowatts from Issoudun).

17545 kHz was heard yesterday (25th Sept) at 1500 UTC by Adam
Amirkhanov in Bucharest on WRTH Facebook: 
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18mRyaXsEg/

However, the first stage of Mini Transat has now been cancelled with
boats sheltering in ports on the Portuguese coast because of the
impending Category 4 Hurricane Gabriele approaching from the Azores,
expected to hit the coast of Portugal on Saturday.``

** U S A. 5920, Sept 27 at 0623+, horrible galaxy of spurs: I`m
finding numerous extremely distorted spurblobs above and below this
WTWW frequency with TOMBS matching modulation. These are the approx.
ranges, with the middle frequency being the approx. peak, but no
specific carriers. Of course, they get progressively weaker the
further out. They are approx. multiples of ~86 kHz displacement. Note
that the peaks are closer to the upper edge than the lower edge, but
maybe because of tuning in USB. Not in the order monitored. First one
found, 5834, read S9+25:

5657-5661-5663
5741-5747-5750
5831-5834-5835

** VANUATU. 9960, Sept 27 at 0648, RV not off the air, S5 of music.
Ron Howard reported earlier: ``Radio Vanuatu not heard 0545+ UT, Sept
27 -- Hi Glenn - Was just checking for Radio Vanuatu, via New Zealand
remotes and found no signal at all on
9960, 7260, 5040, 3945 or 2485 kHz. Probably another power outage that
tripped off their transmitter? As usual, I have alerted Pryce
Aptenbel, at the station. Ron (Monterey, Calif.)``

And from Gedas in Indiana: ``I just checked at 06:45 UTC and they have
a very strong signal on 9960 directly into Indiana. Your note to them
seems to have worked. However I am also hearing a very strong
broadband QRM signal coming and going that really messes up reception.
