** MEXICO. 6185-, Oct 9 at 0615, XEPPM, S9+15/25 of dead air or maybe
trace of modulation, which happens too often late at night; and as
usual frequency slightly offset minus. Normally they play a nice wide
variety of music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855 & 17715, as previewed yesterday, Oct 9 at 2159 both
NAm & SAm SNR frequencies on air for token English on Wed. About same
level, S9/+10. The // to ME 15520 about same S but sounds better off
the back, lower MUF trumping azimuths. By Oct a lower band for us
should be more reliable at this hour, but they wait until B-seasons to
plunge to 9690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.006+, Oct 9 at 2158, VOT not off the air,
IS and English IDs, S9/+20 direct but insufficient vs noise level for
easy listening. Yet it`s much stronger than Romania 11800, which has a
somewhat more northerly path vs the auroral zone. At 2233 into UTwente

** U S A. 17790, 15770, 9455, 9395, Oct 9 at 1900, NO signals direct
from WRMI frequencies normally active now, as Hurricane Milton is
closing in. It seems that one must consult disgraced FB for latest
station info rather than own website! Several of our monitors had just
checked that; Mike Cooper copied this at 1843: ``WRMI Facebook posts
during the past two hours:

`Hurricane Milton Update as of 1645 UTC Wednesday October 9: We are
starting to get some wind gusts here at the transmitter site in
Okeechobee, and there are two tornadoes fairly close to us that we are
watching carefully. So far our transmitters are operating normally,
but we anticipate we will have to shut them down in the coming hours
as winds get stronger here. We will try to maintain our livestream at
www.wrmi.net. Thanks to everyone who has emailed us, texted, called,
etc. with your good wishes.

Hurricane Milton Update as of 1825 UTC Wednesday October 9: There are
tornado warnings in effect for the area of our transmitter site in
Okeechobee, and at least one confirmed tornado sighting. And winds are
getting quite high. So we are shutting down all transmitters now until
further notice. Our Internet stream should remain on the air. So far
we still have electrical power.

1835 UTC Wednesday Oct 9: Our frequency of 7730 kHz remains on air, as
well as our www.wrmi.net stream. Power went out briefly, but has
returned.```

I check FB at 2317 and find only one more entry: ``1838 UTC Wednesday:

stream remains``

** JAPAN. 13860, Oct 8 at 0702, S5/S7 music, the OSOB: NHK Japanese
for S America direct at 0655-0900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. Sporadic E was pushing 88 MHz earlier Oct 8 but no FM DX.
By 2207 I`m checking 10m CW beacons and find two of the reliable XEs:
28183.2, dash and VVV XE1RCS/B, and at 2209 on 28276, XE1JAL/B with a
VG signal, each logged several times before. In the WGB list, XE1JAL/B
is in Xalapa, Veracruz but XE1RCS not listed on any frequency. So this
was my last log in 2023y:

``28183+, May 15 at 2314, VVV XE1RCS/B and E+ something grid square:
XE1RCS Mexico flag Mexico, Radio Club Satélite A.C., Apartado Postal
341-A, Ciudad Satélite, Naucalpan, Edo Mex 53100, Mexico. WI5V list:
``28.183 XE1RCS C CERRO GORDO, MEXICO # 5W, VERTICAL New 8/08/08, Club
call 27/06/10 Back on 16 Sept 1`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 17675, Oct 8 at 0653, RNZP at S6/S9, almost
the OSOB: no 17600 Algeria, but JBA carrier on 17715. Nothing listed
then but maybe VATICAN prior to *0700 Arabic. NO signals on 15 MHz
band. Look at WWV prop as of 0600, notably K-index of 7.33!

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 8 at 2204, REE N American frequency finally back
on air, last heard on Sept 25 and off by Sept 27, roughly one biweek.
But if it`s Tuesday, there must not be English, rather Ladino at this
hour. 17855 is S6/S9 direct, about equal to 17715 for S America, while
17855 ought to be much stronger, so something is still wrong. 15390
still gone of course, leaving 15520 backwards for ME the best at
S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785, Oct 8 at 2158, VOT IS VP S7/S8 direct vs
local HNL up to S9+10, and even ROMANIA 11800 is a JBA carrier.
Propagation very disturbed. But at 2230 into UTwente, RRI is VG
S9+20/25, while there`s algo JBA around 11785 not even synch-locking,
so VOT must have crashed or be exciter-only as nothing else scheduled.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28203.5. CW, Oct 8 at 2208, VVV K6LLL/B and long pause.

kW, but all eight operated at 250 kW to reduce operating budget.
Equipped with approx. 40 broadcast antennas, between 03 and 305
degrees. 305? Per azimuthal map, that would aim at S Pacific, northern
Australia. I had emailed a report as requested on the DRM text;
axually decoded by NH kiwiSDR, not aimed thataway. This was not one of

good news for WRMI. After a storm a couple of years ago the station
revealed that it doesn’t carry insurance on the facility (“too
expensive”) and set up a GoFundMe for donations to enable repairs. Do
they have insurance now? Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (Glenn Hauser,
