** CUBA. 11760, Sept 1 at 2213, RHC with undermodulated music and
squeal, S9+30, but no signals on 13780 or 15230. Somethings always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Sept 2 at 1454, RHC Spanish S5/S6, undermodulated and
not too distorted; nothing on 13780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHILE. 28475 USB, Sept 1 at 2202, ``Aloha`` in Spanish, tail of KH6
contact? Then it`s CE4J#O with CQ in English, contacting WA4AV.
DXheat/cluster fills in the missing letter: CE4JZO with WA4AV at 2205
on this very frequency. QRZ.com: ``CE4JZO Chile flag Chile, Federico
Edo. "Kiko" Concha Traverso-, Avda. La Estancia N° 413, Comuna
Machali, Sexta Región, Rancagua- 2910000, Chile``. Only one other

12, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUATEMALA. 24985 USB, Sept 1 at 2207, TG9AHM calling CQ in English,

WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Re Skyview tones QRMing 780 WBBM:
``Hi Glenn - Ran this thru ChatGPT, to see what AI thought about it.
Ron
``What you describe is very intriguing DX-wise. Let’s break it down:
Your log:
Date/time: Sept 1, 0640 UT
Frequency: 780 kHz
Station normally there: WBBM Chicago (dominant on 780 at night)
What you heard: Equal-strength QRM, repeating ~70-second loop of
Skyview Networks test tones (L/R channels, then both), plus a voice
message calling for “internet connection” and giving the Skyview ops
center phone number 877-503-8910.
Possibilities
WBBM technical issue / mixup
WBBM is a Skyview client (Skyview distributes CBS/Westwood One
content, and handles network ad insertion).
If their STL (studio-to-transmitter link) or satellite receiver
hiccupped, the Skyview receiver could have defaulted to its test loop,
thus being heard on air mixed with program.
The “call the operations center” message is meant for engineers when
the receiver is out of sync.
Another Skyview affiliate bleeding in
KSPI Stillwater, OK, is indeed on 780, but it’s a daytimer (500 W). It
should have been off the air at 0640 UT (01:40 CDT). If it wasn’t,
maybe it was running satellite network feed (via Skyview) unattended
overnight.
However, with equal strength to WBBM in Oklahoma, that would be
unusual—KSPI runs only 250 W at night if authorized (but FCC shows
daytimer).
Imposter / spur / crossfeed
Less likely, but another station in the region could have been airing
Skyview’s loop due to automation misconfiguration.
If it was truly “equal strength” with WBBM in Oklahoma, that points
toward a local/regional source, not just WBBM alone.
My take
Most likely it was WBBM itself briefly radiating the Skyview test loop
due to a network receiver failure. The fact you heard both WBBM and
the loop “equal strength” could have been their audio chain mixing the
live program with the backup/test channel.
KSPI or another Oklahoma station seems less likely at that hour,
unless it was mistakenly left on at night running satellite
automation.
📌 What you might do:
Check KSPI’s official FCC license (it’s indeed daytimer only). If they
were on at 01:40 CDT, that would be unauthorized nighttime operation.
If this repeats, it’s more probably WBBM itself having an
uplink/network receiver issue.`` (via Ron Howard)
This is more or less to be expected, except AI does not know that from
my previous experience, KSPI daytimer *can* be on overnight, and at
nearby groundwave range, will be steady and as strong as WBBM via
skywave. KSPI is 250 watts, not 500. It was not very brief, but maybe
5 minutes before I tuned away. No such problem 24 hours later (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Sept 1 at 2156, 2218 UT chex, WKY OKC *STILL* in
dead air; also Sept 2 at 0625, and **STILL** at 1452, even tho the

(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715, S9+20/30 direct and VP 15390, music from REE, 2200

WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 1 at 2157, VOT not off the air, IS & IDs in

** U S A. 17790, Sept 1 at 2210, no signal from this WRMI, off? 17525
WMLK is good; and 15770 WRMI audible with Taiwan Spanish relay. BTW,

days and days! As noted at: 2253 UT Aug 31; UT Sept 1, 0433, 0500,

to be gained by leaving the dead carrier on for several days? (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Sept 1 at 0501 UT, Spanish overcomes KRVN on E/W
antenna, ``La [Tremenda?], música y deportes``. Surely WIJR Highland
IL, 160 watts at night. Only other secular SS in range would be WMDB
Nashville TN, ``La Ranchera`` but only 2 nighttime watts. WIJR day &
night patterns have major lobe thisaway to SW from near St Louis MO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1290, Sept 1 at 0632 UT, news and weather with WHIO IDs in
passing. Is U2 5/5 kW from Dayton OH. Night pattern has minor
lobe to WSW thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 1 at
0434-0438, tuning USB 1 kHz below 9/kHz channels: 684, 711, 837, 855,
1044, 1089, 1107, 1205, 1377, 1476. then at 0438-0442 tuning LSB 1 kHz

1413, 1422. Mostly UK and Spain. 684 by far the strongest: surely RNE
Sevilla, 150/100 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 760, Sept 1 at 0624 UT, WJR getting lot of QRM from
Spanish music. Probably KMTL Sherwood AR, 10 kW daytimer. Then, it`s
gone. Sherwood is a suburb on the north side of Poca Roca (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 780, Sept 1 at 0640 UT, WBBM with heavy QRM from steady
equal strength 70-second loop, Skyview Networks, test tones left and
right channels and then both. Calls for internet connexion, so not via
satellite? For info, call the operations center at 877-503-8910. Could
be mixup at WBBM itself, or maybe KSPI Stillwater OK daytimer, or ??
Based in Scottsdale AZ per https://skyviewnetworks.com/ I could ask
them where from, but I bet they would not know (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1360, Sept 1 at 0618 UT, tropical music, Spanish ID as
```13-60, La [Mori?]`` NRC AM Log shows the few SS in range are all
RELigious (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925 AM, Sept 1 at 1526, JBA talk and then off, while a
JBA carrier remains on 6927. Maybe holiday pirates (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Spanish/American war which of course led to Cuban independence (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, Aug 30 at 2340 UT, dead air from WKY OKC, still dead
at chex 2342, 2357, Aug 31 0002, 0101 and still 0314! Who cares. What
would Gaylord say? 0635 still. 1416 STILL! and 1922 **STILL**. Surely
someone at WKY will have noticed by now, maybe not an easy fix? But it
is a holiday weekend (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11660.019-, Sun Aug 31 at 1656 tune-in, S8+10/25 into

Dr., Finland, in Turkish about his FM DX of TRT-1 on 97.3. 8) finally,
Japan where it`s 35 degrees. 1708 Cemre closing, 1709 theme. Then I
catch the first part on the next broadcast:
9750.018+, Sun Aug 31 at 1846, S9+40/55 into UTwente, after `The Pulse
of Turkish Foreign Policy`. 1) Gabriel Gómez, Montevideo, Uruguay,
CX001, SWL since 1984 and ham CX7BI. 2) Mr Francis Moller?, Dublin,
Ireland. 3) -- Ide, Tokyo, Japan, listened to Chinese broadcast for
Turkish music. 4) Iran. 5) Siddartha, India, as weekly with questions:
Is World Lion Day 20/8 celebrated in Turkey? World ELephant Day on
12/8? These are rather new; Turkey has more wild goats than
elephants... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28450 USB, Aug 30 at 2320, few signals on 10m but hello`s,
1,2,3,4,5 tests in English then repeated ID fonetikaly as AB6VR, with

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2310 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
August 30 after 0930 on WRMI 7570: first time I`ve happened to awaken
during this; despite still shown on skedgrid for blue System D as
9455, which had something else, CRR. All other programming for that

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1110 kHz, Aug 30 at 0624 UT, KFAB modulating unlike
protracted dead air last night. BTW, during `C2CAM`, KFAB is normally
a second or two ahead of neighbor 1100 WTAM Cleveland (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1180, Aug 30 at 0625 UT, sports talk, LSB needed to escape
KOTV IBOC noise peaking 1183. No doubt still KZOT Bellevue NE from
IOWA, *still* cheating with 25 kW daypower, as first noted Aug 18
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1360.025 approx., Aug 30 at 0627 UT, LAH = low audible
heterodyne from offset carrier. I fear previous logs as 1360.28 or
1360.29, may have been mistaken without the 0. In this case there is
now a very recent entry in mwoffsets for 1360.033 from WWOW Conneaut
OH as of 2025-08-13. I also suspected WWOW in an August 9 log, q.v.
Aug 30 at 1540 UT I check the KiwiSDR at Southington OH, and bingo, it
has a nostalgia station +33 Hz from 1360; calibration not checked
precisely, but neighboring frequencies are closer to .00 either side
of channel. NRC AM Log shows OLD format rather than NOS, but ``I love
you because you`re you`` and ``You are the sunshine of my heart`` are
more like NOS than OLD which applies to early rock (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 1570, Aug 31 at 0650 UT, ``WLRS`` mentioned immediately as I
pause on this frequency. This is it: New Albany IN, U1 1500/233 watts,
``Kentuckiana`s True Oldies``, address in Clarksville, per NRC AM Log.
There are many, many UStations at night on 1570 under 500 watts, or
under 100 watts, even two in TX at 6 and 11 watts: tough luck, XERF!

direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 30 at 0149, token English from RNB/RNA, yet
again repeating snippets about the anniversary of the Parque Rodeador
hi-power SWBC site. S9+10/25 into Bonaire SDR, much better than into
Brasila. 0153 outro that there was an AI voice - so that`s why he was
speaking perfect Amerenglish. Portuguese break then into same in
Spanish, must be another AI, but with a Castilian accent (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 28405+USB, Aug 29 at 2220, PY2FZ, with quick contacts,
spells BAURU, CCI from an LU calling CQDX in English: they probably
can`t hear each other, too close. QRZ.com: ``PY2FZ Brazil flag Brazil,

readable, yay! // 13780 also S9+10 with goodmod, but 2215 recheck,

English, and also only on very weak 15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.004, Aug 29 at 2159, VOT IS & ID in English, not off
the air, S9+10/20 direct but JBM to undermodulated. At 2244 into
UTwente when measured, S9+25/45, somewhat undermodulated, starting
`Did You Know That`, something about fish migration but I shall not
strain to understand more than 20% of the words emanating from the
larynx of Efsun. 2249 music. 2254 s/off as if 1230 on 17620:
something`s always awry at Ankara. 2254.6 IS. 2256 pause and restart
IS with German IDs: something`s always erroneous at Emirler, until
2258* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2310 monitoring: confirmed Friday
August 29 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.994, S9+5 into

Also confirmed Friday August 29 after 2200 on WRMI 9955. At first
direct it doesn`t sound like me, S9/+10 but very undermodulated. By
2206 seems me; by 2215 am pretty sure.

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Aug 29 at 2352, into NH SDR,
which is 50 Hz off compared to WWV 10000, so exact readings have been
corrected: 7490 -55 Hz = 7489.945, S9+20 with FKB. 9330.005, S9+30
WLCR Brazuguese but off for rotation at 2357. 6160 +20 Hz = 6160.020,
S5/S7 with CRI, but BCQ on by 2356 with IS & ID loop, S9+15/20 and
0000 into something else. 5130 by 2357 somebuzz not BCQ still past
0000. 3265 totally off.
UT Sat Aug 30 at 0000 announces that following AAAWWW was originally
broadcast March 28, 2025 - never mind, see my log on that date. Now
joined by 9330 only. On Thu Aug 28, Allan said ``listen tonight`` for
more about the ``Laser Broadcast System`` he had been publicizing, but
I assumed he really meant Friday night - not. Did anyone hear him with
any new/live info about that? Anything on his X? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 252 kHz, my JBA carrier where no beacons are likely,
could well be the 750 kW broadcaster in ALGERIA, I have just realized.
I have so little luck with any LWBC DX that I didn`t even consider
that: ``252 kHz, Aug 27 at 0357 UT, LW beaconscan hits only one
unusual, 252 kHz; trouble is, dxinfocentre.com shows only two
possibilities, in SC and NS; and RNA list shows none anywhere. Now
wondering if I were really tuned to 251 AM but I think not``. The
remaining active EurAfrican LWs are on: 153, 162, 171, 198, 225, 252.
Gedas in Indiana has been getting 198 and 225. And E Asia = all
Mongolia: 164, 209, 227, per WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17435-17470, Aug 29 at 2213, S9 multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating against each other over this approx. range. Often
heard for long time but have not relogged it for quite a while. What
is this? Similar things elsewhere such as circa 9.2 MHz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11700 & 13695, Aug 29 at 0636, weak, `hollow` signals in
French as usual from RFI Issoudun. Not clear whether a strike affected
SW; one report about that via Mike Cooper, Aug 25: ``[WOR] indefinite
Radio France strike began today -- A strike of indefinite length has
been launched at Radio France. The trade union CGT Radio France says
negotiations are at a stalemate. The strike date was announced in
July. Stations are broadcasting this announcement:
"En raison d'un appel `a la greve depose par l'ensemble des
organisations syndicales representatives de Radio France contre la
strategie editoriale et les reformes menees par la direction dans un
contexte d'economies, nous ne sommes pas en mesure de diffuser
l'integralite de nos programmes habituels." {sic: accents stripped}
A major point of contention is that the French culture minister wants
to combine France Medias Monde, France Televisions, Radio France and
the National Audiovisual Institute (INA) into one organization with a
single chief executive officer. The plan would also close some radio
stations and cut jobs.
Forty-one of Radio France's 44 radio stations objected this spring to
a proposed new fall schedule. Employees say there have been no
discussions or changes to the proposed schedule, leaving them with the
impression that they are being ignored, according to Benoit Allard, a
technician at Ici Pays d'Auvergne quoted by France 3 Television.

** OKLAHOMA. 1210 kHz, Aug 29 at 0706 UT, KGYN Guymon with weather
forecast for Thursday, but it`s already Friday! Maybe only one day out
of date rather than one week the last time. Who cares about being
subservient to WPHT? Radio-locator says 22/10 kW ``non-direxional two
modes`` - whatever that mean; but night pattern supposedly pulled in
toward Philly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5850, Aug 29 at 0629, JBA carrier, presumably WRMI-12 on
exciter only? while CRR on 5800 & 5950 are normal; 5850 is habitually
the strongest, aimed thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 840, Aug 29 at 0704 UT, ID as ``WAMZ HD2 Louisville`` - and
then as WHAS. Unfortunately, WTFDA FMDB does not go into what`s on HD
subchannels; adding all that would be a monumental task; but now we
know about this one:
``WAMZ 97.5 LOUISVILLE KY 100.0 kW 205.0 m 38-03-50 85-43-52 HD 15F9
Country 97.5 WAMZ 97.5 WAMZ Kentuckiana's #1 for Country
KENTUCKIANA'S BEST COUNTRY 11921``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1000 kHz, Aug 29 at 0653 UT, some kind of countdown of
greatest moments in baseball? with crowds roaring, all over KTOK OKC
with `C2CAM`. Presumably WMVP Chicago with ESPN, mentions Q105FM,
presumably not an ID for this. WTFDA FMDB does not find any sports
format with that slogan. Only other sports/ESPN on 1000 is KSOO Sioux
Falls, 100 watts at night while WMVP is U4 50/37 kW, night pattern
with notch to the SW, but minor lobe to SSW. Then heard same
crowdroaring on 930, i.e. WKY OKC also with ESPN (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 1110 kHz, Aug 29 at 0653 UT, dead air! from KFAB instead of
`C2CAM`; still dead at 0657, 0701 and 0707. No one`s awake at a major
clear-channel station in Omaha. If no one in charge is listening to
their own station, now can they expect anyone else to? And what about
``making good`` on missing commercials, or am I the only one who
noticed? Slight othersig audible underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1140 kHz, Aug 29 at 0652 UT, ``Real Country 100.1 FM and
1140 AM, KXRB``. It`s Sioux Falls SD, U2 10/5 kW and guess what? 100.1
is *not* a mere translator, but a hefty 2.15 kW KXRB-FM in Brandon SD,
which is just east of SxF closer to the IA/MN/SD tri-state area. 1140
night pattern has a notch to the SW, but a minor lobe toward Yankton,
and us? ND day pattern would be better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1180 kHz, Aug 29 at 0700 UT, KZOT ID,
``Bellevue-Omaha-Council Bluffs`, still cheating at night U4 25/1 kW.
Council Bluffs should be first as site is there in IOWA, NOT NEBRASKA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1200 kHz, Aug 29 at 0641 UT, ``Bólivar station 102.9`` is
atop WOAI; do they care? NRC AM Log shows KYOO Bolivar MO is a 1 kW ND
DAYTIMER! with K275CD, ``Joy 102.9``. Bólivar is just north of
Springfield. Since they pronounce it that way, is it not named for
Simón? Not exactly per Wikipedia:
``The name "Bolivar" was proposed by John Polk Campbell and his
brothers William St. Clair and Ezekiel Madison. It is named after
Bolivar, Tennessee, where their grandfather and Continental Army
Colonel Ezekiel Polk had lived. In the 1830s, Polk and Bolivar names
were locally associated with liberation. As such, Bolivar, Missouri is
an indirect namesake of Simón Bolívar.[9]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
