Hauser
** CUBA. 4765, Nov 3 at 0213, R. Progreso is on with music, S9+10/20
direct. Had not reconfirmed it lately.

5025, Nov 3 at 0213, R. Rebelde is off, despite big OC last night; by
0635 it`s on and modulating with 2:35 time check so unlikely RHC, for

no other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11494 USB, at 0128, 2-way discussing fuel status as if
an airplane; but this is fixed not aero or marine band. I remembered
this, but couldn`t find it in my logbook - because I had scribbled it
undated on another scrap of paper - maybe a week before Nov 3 (Glenn

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC LSB, Wed Nov 2 at 1435 I start monitoring
via Argentine SDR 15475.83 in USB, hearing nothing. That exact
frequency where last heard on Sat in LSB; at 1502 I switch to USB and
there it is, LRA36, when I retune to 15475.98 but in LSB, not USB!
Also listenable in AM mode, tho the carrier is very much reduced, JBA
if side-tuned. The themesong is playing; only S4/S5 at first,
difficult copy. K index is 3. 1505 the opening recitation; 1507 song;
``RASG - su cía`` canned ID, then lively live YLs on this, the 29th
programa of the Esperanza Audaz season; 1519 comes in stronger with S7
peaks, frequency as ``15476``, never mind the details of SSB and
offfrequenciness; 1534 OM talking about some ham project in 2013y;
1540 YL mentions ``high frequency``, music; 1545 ``RNASG -- Nacional,
nos une`` canned ID; interview with José Ortiz? técnico; 1556 YL
mentions winds hit 200 kph there; 1603 music only; 1606 ID with staff
list which funxions as a s/off as well as s/on; ``Nacional, nos une``
and off? Not quite, back with a few more words and music until chop at
1608* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 287 MCW kHz, Nov 2 at 0653 UT, dash and ZWG, 50 watt ND
beacon at Winnipeg MB: seldom heard in contrast to 248 WG, a regular
with 1000 watts also audible now. DXinfocentre.com shows considerably
different coördinates, different airports. ZWG at Stoney, seldom
heard, last logged Feb 17, 2021. Both to be decommissioned: ZWG on Dec
29, 2022; WG on April 20, 2023. There is only one other on 287, YSF,
500 watts at Stony Rapids SK.

269 MCW kHz, Nov 2 at 0654, dash and UDE, 50 watt NDB at Delta MB.
Last logged Nov 26, 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Nov 2 at 0636, S9+20 open carrier, R Rebelde must be
coming back after a week, so why not modulate it? Meanwhile at same
time, none of The Cuban Five from RHC on 5 or 6 MHz bands are to be
heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 5960, Nov 2 from 2241, strange behaviour
of Xinjiang PBS, into UTwente as I am tuning in early for Turkey.
Carrier is already on suppressing BBCWS OMAN in English. Brief bursts
of Chinese martial music about once a minute, but continuous tone
2245-2250. Then some longer bits of martial music. *2255 VOT carrier
on, in turn suppressing XJPBS, but still QRMing TRT considerably past
2300, q.v. From Urumqi, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Wed Nov 2 at 0637, JJBBA carrier from R.
Kiribati, along with some TAs, see UNIDENTIFIED. In NZDX Times, Bryan
Clark reports this survey: ``Bryan Clark, Mangawhai, WinRadio G33DDC
Excalibur Pro & AOR7030+ receivers with EWE directional antennas to
North, Central & South America. I monitored 846 for a period of 3
weeks in an attempt to establish a schedule pattern.

As the above indicates, apart from a regular absence on Sunday nights,
the closedown time remains variable. I have sent an enquiry to Radio
Kiribati HQ, but no response as at end on October. (Bryan Clark)``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Nov 2 at 0631, ORTM absent for second night: we are
worried (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 2 at 2308, token English from REE VG into
Maryland on NAm frequency, all others well audible too, 11685, 11940,
12030. Amy Egan starts a feature for the upcoming Apr 8, 2023
semi-centennial of Picasso`s death, about a Madrid exhibition on the
theme of his friendship with Gabrielle Chanel since 1917 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Nov 1 at 2258, BBC OMAN in English until
2259.5*; 2300 timepips and open Xinjiang PBS in Chinese from Urumqi,
East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems. I let it run via UTwente in background for rest of
the hour, and never a trace of VOT English, where something is always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

IRRS/NEXUS/IBA notify me Oct 31 that because of increased SW
transmission costs, WOR will no longer be aired on SW 7290, which has
been Friday at 1815, but will continue on MW 1323 and webcasts:

``Please notice that we had to reschedule most programs in B22,
including WOR, currently at:
22:30 CET on Friday (MW 1323 kHz + streaming) [Friday 2130 UT]
01:30 CET on Sunday (streaming) [UT Sunday 0030]
22:00 CET on Sunday (MW 1323 kHz + streaming) [Sunday 2100 UT]

Our B22 program and frequency schedules are online now.

https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/b22-schedule/
We anticipate a move to 7295 kHz from 18 to 19 UTC daily as of
tonight. Further changes may be possible and announced on our mailing
list and online``. Looking at HFCC, 7295 will be clear of CCI, and
also of 7290/7300 ACI during this hour. If had stayed on 7290 at
18-19, would have had heavy ChiCom ACI de 7285; if on 7290 at 19-20,
from ChiCom on 7295 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Nov 2 at 0625, WBCQ/WLCR is still/again off when it`s
usually on. Is it totally off for now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Nov 2 at 0627, S6/S7 of music from R. Vanuatu. At
0700, JBA carrier on 7890 so has switched to 3945; but no signal
audible on 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic, JBA split MW carrier search, Nov 2 at
0637: 621, 711, 774, 882, 1305. The usual suspects at this late hour,

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 1 at 2155, JBA tone direct; 2201 into UTwente,
S9+35 of big multi-frequency tone, no programod at all, as something`s
always egregious in Egypt. Believe there was no R. Cairo signal last
couple days, unlogged (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 1 at 0653, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati;
cursory 9/kHz split check does not find any TAs now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Nov 1 at 0635, reliable ORTM is OFF. Manuel Méndez
Lugo, Spain, also reported: ``Logs in Friol, NW of Spain, Tecsun
PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters: Radio Mali, Bamako, out of the air.
Checked 31-10 afternoon and evening, first on 9635 and later on 5995
and 01-11 morning, first on 5995 and later on 9635, no signal``. This
is/was one of the last national stations in Africa on SW.

5995 & 9635, Nov 1 at 1651, no signals either into Canary SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Nov 1 at 0621, NO signal from VON. At 1652,
only CRI English into Canary SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9515-9520-9525, Nov 1 at 0619, DRM noise at S9. HFCC shows
it`s RRI Galbeni in French at 0600-0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 1 at 0029*, VOT finally turns off wrong German
hour only halfway thru it, shortly after posting my previous report.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 7285+, Nov 1 at 0622, BBCish news about S Korea
crowdisaster, 0625 S Asian correspondent about the deadly footbridge
collapse in India, good signal direct, something new for B22. At first
I wonder if RNZP relay, as 7285 is one of their frequencies, tho
scheduled now in HFCC only at 1645-1900 in DRM --- and not at all in
RNZI own sked. They could have turned on second transmitter since
13730 is not propagating at all? Fat chance.

HFCC B22 reveals at 0600-0700, 7285 is really BBC via SAO TOME, 100 kW
at 335 degrees. That fits because this is characteristically
off-frequency, drifting upwards, measured at 0630 on 7285.036. 0632 as
`Newsday`. Why bother with different programmme names for all-news
segments? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, Nov 1 at 2043, S9 of dead air from WRMI Radio Africa;
next check at 2154, gospel huxter still going rather than closing at
2100*, compensating? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Nov 1 at 0620, WBCQ/WLCR is OFF, unusually at this
hour; still/again OFF at 1534. What`ll we do without the flat-earthers
to ridicule? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Nov 1 at 0621, No signal from R. Vanuatu, not even a
JBA carrier vs local device birdie. But at 0700, JBA carriers on 7890
& 11835, so 3945 has come on to harmonicize (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21690, Oct 31 at 1531, JBA carrier, searching for any B22
activity on 13m band, only this, the OSOB and consequently SSOB, per
HFCC, RFI ISS in Swahili 1500-1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 1323 kHz, Sunday October 30 at 2000, IRRS SW via AM Italia,
Villa Estense, still not on 918 or 207 either, with special hour
tribute to the late Dario Monferini, of Milano, who died October 17.
After confirming it here via Parma SDR, I`m listening on the clear
NEXUS/IBA webcast. Starts with a rock tune I recognize as one of the
liners used to appear on RN`s Media Network. Then Alfredo Cotroneo
introduces the show, ``Hello There...``, apparently name of mailbag in
years past. This is part 2: missed part 1 last weekend. Will play a
Play-DX show of Dec 1989; reveals exact SW transmitter site outside
Milano ``for the first time``, but I missed the name. Dario had been
recorded over very lofi telco line, first in English talking about FM?
stations in the local area. 2010 they go into Italian: I can mostly
understand Alfredo in the clear studio, but not Dario so much, so
suspend. When I recheck at 2040, back in English with an old Media
Network episode about then new IRRS experiments with reduced carrier
SSB, test schedule, not about Dario; 2054 wrapup and Verdi theme
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15665, Oct 31 at 1536, algo JBM at S9/+10. HFCC shows
AWR in Malgache at 1530-1600. From inside Mad., should be skipping
over most of the island; or just counting on groundwave in Talata
area? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 31 at 1459 OC, 1500 no English but
opening in Chinesish tonal language. Before 1530* brief announcement
by different YL voice seems to be giving a website or email with some
letters pronounced in English, but uncopied: need to be recording!
Reception is about the same as had been for V of Martyrs Korea,
Maldives service. Suspect it`s still them from secret site but
switching focus away from Maldives. Website has lots of stuff but NO
info I can find about any axual broadcasts! They do have a ``China
Ministry``, but no mention of Maldives:
https://vomkorea.com/en/
BTW, WRTH 22 gives HQ address in Bartlesville, OKLAHOMA! But nothing
about that on website, no postal or physical address nor US phone
number (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Oct 31 at 0624, no signal from VON. What
about evening broadcast, nominally including 1630-1900 English? Oct 31
at 1658 it`s CRI English inbooming into Canary SDR. HFCC shows for
B22, CRI occupies 7255 from 1600 to 2100! If VON ever resume, it will
be nothing but a het against the ChiCom - but how were they to know
they would be blocking Nigeria`s last possible SW frequency, since
Nigeria refuses to participate in HFCC? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME. 7255.00, Oct 31 at 0456, African language S9/+10 until
chopped off at 0459*, S9/+10 direct. Tnx tip from Gary Pence who
wondered if Nigeria had fixed their off-frequency. But it would not be
on before 0555. HFCC B22 reveals it`s VOA in Shona via Pinheira, and
almost on-frequency! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME. 17895, Oct 31 at 1432, S7/S9 OC or JBM. HFCC shows VOA
English at 15-16; later via Botswana. WOR iog reports all kinds of
SNAFUs at VOA as B22 begins (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR0

** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, Oct 31 at 1710, open carrier with RTTY QRM
on minus side only, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, suspected the REE
African frequency, cuts off at 1714* while RTTY remains. In HFCC B22,
only 161 azimuths registered are 17755 and 21620 --- nothing audible
theres. But José Bueno of AER forwards this notice from REE itself:

``RADIO EXTERIOR DE ESPAÑA Cambio de hora, cambio de frecuencias
Los cambios de programación y frecuencias son efectivos desde el 30 de
octubre de 2022 hasta el 26 de marzo de 2023.

De lunes a viernes, para África Occidental y Atlántico sur, Oriente
Medio e Índico, desde las 16 horas hasta las 00 horas UT.
-África Occidental y Atlántico sur, 11.685 Khz
-Oriente Medio e Índico, 12.030 Khz

Hacia América del norte y sur, Radio Exterior de España transmite en
onda corta, de lunes a viernes, de 19 a 03 horas UT
-América del sur, 11.940 Khz
-América del norte, 9.690 Khz

Los sábados y domingos, transmite su señal de 15 a 23 horas UT:
-África Occidental y Atlántico sur, 11.685 Khz
-América del sur, 11.940 Khz
-América del norte, 9.690 Khz
-Oriente Medio e Índico, 12.030 Khz``

So the Af beam remains on one or the other of: 11670 or 11685.
However, at 1710, 11685 is not on eiither; and still at 1813 neither.
Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas.

English, Mon Oct 31 at 2300 into Maryland SDR: 9690 VG local-quality
S9+20/30, 12030 S9+10/20, 11940 also S9+10/20, 11670/11685 OFF but
11670 now algo extremely distorted and splattering, no doubt RHC from
its usual starthour. In news, Justin Coe propagates a typo, giving
Bolsonaro only 40.1% of the vote instead of 49.1%! 2307 about Jerry
Lee Lewis death and how Franco didn`t approve of rock-n-roll, did not
catch on in Spain until 10 years post-mortem. 2311 main feature by
Hélena is a deeper dive into the horror film `Veronica`. 2322 about
Hallowe`en customs in Galicia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, checking for VOT English to NAm on
reactivated B22 frequency, ex-9830, since it was a no-show Oct 30. Now
on Oct 31 I tune in at 2248 direct to find a weak interview in
English, i.e. BBC Oman now scheduled until 2300, mixed with a 1 kHz
DSB tone - not a het. The latter must be from PBS Xinjiang warming up
from East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems, as already noted opening at 2300, not
listed 2330-. From 2251, insted of tone, brief bursts of ChiCom
martial music cut on and off about once a minute. 2258 stays on longer
but pause again as BBC stops circa 2259*. 2300, 2-pip timesignal and
Chinese sign-on mentioning Xinjiang. Still no sign of Turkey at
UTwente or Maryland, while I move to SPAIN. But XJPBS is JBA at
Maryland. By 2305, VOT has cut on late, S9+25/35 overriding XJPBS at
UTwente but still some QRM under. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. At Maryland, VOT only S8/S9, sufficient but hardly solid, and
hardly any CCI. As for content I`m listening to Spain, q.v., until its
English finish at 2330. Now VOT marred by some 2ACI splash de 5950
much stronger WRMI.

2333, `Did You Know That`, what? YL accent hard to understand without
perfect reception. SAU mode helps a little. Something about a national
park, natural hill, karst?, Roman aqueduct. 2338 same theme outro
already; music fill, song in Tuerkiyeish. 2342 another song, and more.
2351, Coronavirus PSA, ``vaccine yet to be found``!!

2354 sign-off by YL with TOTALLY WRONG TIMES but right B22
frequencies. Every single time labeled UTC, but really UT+3 local time
where there has been no DST and no change: [SIC:] 2230-2330 6050,
0030-0130 9610 SAs/Au, 02-03 5960 Eu/E USA/Canada, 9660 2030-2130
Afgh/Pak/India/Uzbek/etc. 07-08 6125 Eu/EUSA/Can/Cuba, 07-08 7285
Eu/Syria/Jordan/Arabia. Plus satellite info. Note that 23-24 UTC and
04-05 UTC are pre-recorded. THOSE times were correct UTC. The
announcer does not engage brain and realize this is all messed up.
Something`s always awry at Ankara.

Speaking of which: 2354 IS, 2356 starts interspersing GERMAN IDs twice
a minute. 0000 Nov 1 open German claiming Ankara time is 21:30, so is
playback of 1830 UT on 5945. 0024 still going. Fortunately this is UT
Tue not Sun so no collision yet with The Mighty KBC, so enamored of
5960 every winter that they risk head-to-head with incompetent Turx
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. A few among the many sporadic E 10m ham beacons
skipping in, with WI5V listing and QRZ.com:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2162 monitoring: Confirmed Sunday
October 30 at 2100 UT, new winter time ex-2000, on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1323 kHz, sufficient into Parma SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 31 at 0030 on WRMIs: 5950, S9+30 into
Missouri SDR; 7780 only S7/S9 into W Texas SDR. Direct on same
receiver, 5950 is S9+10/20, 7780 S8/S9 noisy. And 5950 runs about 1
second behind 7780, so separate playouts, Systems L and D
respectively. SysL operates on EDT/EST so from next week 5950 will be
at 0130 UT.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 31 from 0302.5 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160
minus 64 Hz = 6159.936, S8/S9 into Maryland remote. JL finished by
0301, gotta go, then ID for Radio Luxembourg, why?, 0302 dead air
before WOR. ACI splash from 6165 Cuba. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 9275, Oct 31 at 2106, WMLK is on with gospel huxter, S9+25
on meter but only fair and noisy. About the same as neighborneighbor
9265 WINB. Sure doesn`t sound like 300 kW. Someone noted WMLK absent
and was wondering. HFCC B22 still has WMLK at 17-22 UT except on Day 7
= Saturday, 300 kW at 53 degrees. Also 15150 at 04-09 yet to be
activated, a very strange band and time for Europe. Maybe same problem
as WBCQ getting the thing to change frequencies? Fortunately (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 31 at 0624, RV is JBA, still here (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA split MW carrier search, Oct 31 from
0627, not in the order tuned: 576, 711-2, 774, 837, 846 TP Kiritimati,
855, 882, 1107-2, 1305-2. Most likely Spain, except: 576
Spain/Canary/Algeria; 711 Morocco/Spain; 837 & 882 both Canary/Spain
