B25 SCHEDULE LINX so far to Aoki/NDXC, HFCC; 
EiBi, FCC not yet:
http://www.worldofradio.com

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS
partially updated Oct 27 for standard time in Europe, but not until
after Nov 2 for most North American entries, notably WRMI where some
frequencies stay at same UT, others shift an hour:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** AUSTRALIA. 18135 USB, Oct 27 at 2203, ham with Oz accent spells
name as MOZ, but never hear his callsign in next 10 minutes, just US
contacts who only mention their own calls. No hits on DX Heat/Cluster
but QRZ.com can be searched on names, so I do that on this unusual
one: 7 hits in their entire database, three in UK, one each in Italy,
Brasil, Mexico, and: ``VK3CWB Maurie "MOZ" MILANI MILDURA, VIC. 3502``
which leads to https://www.qrz.com/db/VK3CWB ``VK3CWB Australia flag
Australia, Maurie "MOZ" MILANI, PO BOX 2742, MILDURA, VIC. 3502,
Australia`` with some interesting comments about CW vs phone, CW
etiquette, Non-QSLing, Ragchewing and lots of other odd stuff (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Oct 28 at 1906, S6/S7 of dead air in English from RHC;
NO signals on 13780, 15140 or 15230. 11760 still dead at 1943.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. R. Martí is off at 2159 check Oct 27, none of the three
earlier frequencies, nor the later ones available. Steven Luce says
they all signed off at 2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [and non]. 11815, Oct 28 at 1410, token English from NHK,
news, then rare earths problem. S5/S7 direct but totally readable with
VG modulation, atop some CCI, perpetual collision with CRI English via
Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems. R. Japan aims 235 degrees from Yamata, so
we are close to off-the-back 55 degrees. Only one other NHKWRJ English
semihour is now at 0500 on 11735, 155 degrees via FRANCE, unchecked
yet, but both usually audible in N America despite NHK`s best efforts
to avoid us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11520, Oct 28 at 1407 JBA talk here, S4/S5
probably Denge Gel via ARMENIA; while on 11545 is S7/S8 direct of
militaristic music, probably Turkish jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local TV signal, as of Oct
28, is still OFF, not a peep since June 11, but still in
rabbitears.info without being Xed out, despite my informing them and
reminding, which I have just done once again. When on, it would
constantly mis-ID as K17JI-D, never noted in re.info either --- now,
he`s Xed it:

https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=k17jn
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002-, Oct 27 at 2300 VOT TS and s/on by Efsun,
S9+20/30 into UTwente. Some lite CCI underneath, Chinese? B25 HFCC
shows nothing else supposed to be on at this time, Urumqi from 2330.
But Aoki/NDXC B25 shows Xinjiang at 2300-2400. A few minutes after
2300, VOT a JBA carrier direct in so-called N American service (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2318 monitoring: confirmed Monday
October 27 at 2030.5 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.001+, S8/9+10
into UTwente, and not on 6160 with ACI.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday October 28 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9 into S
Texas SDR. 

Also confirmed Tuesday October 28 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9 direct.
Music plays right up to 1300, no ID.

Also confirmed Tuesday October 28 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct.
From next week: 1400 & 1500 instead. Next:

2100 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323;

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

WOR schedules dated Oct 26 have now been partially updated for non-DST
shifts in Europe, not yet for North America:

PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com 

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser,
P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, WTWW: I may have missed a bit, but I don`t think it
was on the air the last three evenings between 01 & 03 UT, UT Oct
26-27-28. What`s wrong now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 830, Oct 28 at 0644 UT, WCCO getting considerable QRM
from another talk station in English, thought I heard AC 701 mentioned
- but that`s North Dakota, no 830s there; maybe network show. Best
guess would be WUMY Memphis TN, 5 kW ND daytimer. address in suburban
MS but site really in TN, AC 901. Has a translator on 105.5 which
would account for nighttime programming. WUMY format is now religion
in English, ex-Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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]. WORLD OF RADIO 2318 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 26 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.996-, S9 into
UTwente, preceded by 7290 s/off announcement - still sked there daily

Only obvious match in NRC AM Log is WMBD Peoria IL, U4 5/5 kW, the
