** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 26 at 1433-1543, never any signal
this Wednesday from LRA36 into Argentine SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA: WRMI: 7570

** CANADA. 300 MCW kHz, Oct 26 at 0626 UT, dash and YIV, 500 watt NDB
at Island Lake, Manitoba. Last logged last year, Dec 26 and 8. It`s in
NE Manitoba, beyond coverage of my Rand McNally road atlas. Reader`s
Digest Great World Atlas has it: near the Ontario border at the
southern end of the NE/SW boundary. Viz.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Lake,_Manitoba
YIV is the only N American on 300 per dxinfocentre.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6060, Oct 26 at 0619, RHC English, S9/+10 and
undermodulated, nowhere else on 6 or 5 MHz; how many kW? Not
unusually, inferior to *1 kW* CFRX neighbor on 6070, which is S9/+10
and louder, but also with a SAH, presumably Channel 292, Germany
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 5985, Oct 26 at 0400, no signal from WRMI-2. NHK in
Spanish was scheduled here and nowhen else, even direct. I believe
that language was totally canceled by NHK some months ago. HFCC B22
shows no Spa anywhen, anywhence:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B22&broadc=NHK
Nor for A22, 5985 last appearing for B21.

WRMI transmission skedgrid shows nothing 24h on 5985; yet the program
schedule below still shows a ``System K`` for nothing but this. Aoki &
EiBi still show some other programming on 5985 WRMI. 5985 was
nullified long before Hurricane Ian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 26 at 0615, no signal from VON direct. No
signal at 1803, 1850 into Canary remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 26 at 0624 UT, SW, ND beacon at
StillWater, now confirmed on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640 KZLS // 1390 KCRC Enids, Oct 26 at 0640/0642 UT,
both are in dead air instead of sports talk (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 26 at 2200, token English from REE on Wed, first
checked direct: NAm frequency is back on, but poor not propagating so
well toward the end of A-season, also undermodulated? 15520 VP, 11940
NO signal so must be off since 11670 is audible but poor. By 2207 I`m
checking Maryland remote: YL interview about something: 17855 S2/S3,
15520 JBA, 11940 OFF, 11670 despite normally the worst here, for
Africa, is poor S3/S4 making it the best, but also with squeal.
Something`s not right at Noblejas.

From Oct 30 the Bquencies are likely to be 9690 NAm, 12030 ME, 11940
SAm, altho a number of new alternatives have been registered; but for
Africa it`s either 17755 or 21620, neither of which will be any good
over here by 2300; as everything including English will be one real UT
hour latened (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 26 at 2200, VOT English is JBA direct, but by
2213 into UTwente it`s S9+40/45, with scratchy over/modulation, as
something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2216 concluding `Review of
the Tuerkiyeish Press`. Music bit and 2219, `Weekly Commentary`, by
Thomas Alford? who has written for Spectator, SCMP et al., but read by
the heavily accented YL, titled ``Britain's Political Peril Is
Unlikely to End with Sunak``. Not sure of his name, I search on that
exact title and leads directly to full text at TRT World:

https://www.trtworld.com/opinion/britain-s-political-peril-is-unlikely-to-end-with-sunak-61921
where I notice that the ESL reader simply skips over words she does
not recognize or know how to pronounce, while mispronouncing others.
His name is Thomas O. Falk. At the bottom, individuals are invited to
email their own opinion pieces to TRT. Maybe he did exactly that, so
it`s original with TRT. Otherwise the subject has no relevance to
Turkey. 2230, next show is ``Cooking Files``?? No, I still can`t
comprehend the title; it`s not about recipes, but space exploration

As of 1530 UT Oct 25, there had been *no* updates on WRMI FB since Oct

``WRMI Radio Miami International 30m · A quick update on hurricane
repairs at WRMI. Our crew continues to work on repairing transmission

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 25 at 0657, RV is back, in Bislama talk; had
been missing since Oct 20. It`s almost QSY time, so I tune to 11834
USB waiting for it to pop on 11835 --- but never heard well past 0700.
Then I check 7890 and 0701 there it is while 7260 is off. So the
second harmonic of 3945 is propagating, but not the third.

Later, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec in SP reports to the WOR iog: ``Hi all,

** U S A [and non]. 5850, Oct 23 at 2335, WRMI with opera in Italian;
i.e. R. Prague Int`l relay in `English`, usual Sunday classical music
default. But via Maryland remote, there is a `roar` in the background.
At first I wonder if a transmission defect, while // 5010 has no such
roar. Still so on 5850 after 0000 Oct 24. And the roar is much
stronger vs WRMI at Bonaire remote. So I am suspecting Cuban jamming
altho that`s nonsensical with no exile programming on 5850 and very
little Spanish otherwise. However, there is no pulsing in the roar as
usually the case of Cuban jamming. Some utility QRM? At 0042 direct to
OK, here in the boresight of WRMI`s very strong signal, I don`t hear
any. Needs further investigation!

I meant to check 5850 the next day Oct 24 just before *2200, but
missed it; circa 2030 there was nothing unusual. I am checking remotes
at 2302: Bonaire OK at first until I compare to 5950 & 5010 which are
less noisy. By 2320 into Maryland, 5850 again has some background
noise like yesterday.

BTW, for a while WRMI itself was carrying R. República at 0300-0400
three nights a week on 5800, risking attracting jamming there, and
beyond those hours; but has vanished from current skedgrid. B-22
relays via FRANCE are already on the sked showing Cuba target on 9490,
but not what (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Oct 24 at 1531, this WRMI is off, while 9395 & 9455
are on and nominal. Ditto at 2031, 2229. Had been 24 h but skedgrid
now shows a gap at 15-21. Could be that #3 is OK but logistically
needs to be off while other antenna lines are being repaired (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330.114, Oct 24 at 1532, WLCR/WBCQ is on in English but
still way off-frequency. 2030 recheck it`s off again, repair work?

** ALASKA. HAARP is very busy now. Amanda Dawn Christie has a new art
project, Ghosts in the Air Glow, explained here:
https://ghostsintheairglow.space/transmission/october-2022

``Ghosts in the Air Glow: is a transmission art project working with
the HAARP Ionospheric Research Instrument to mix audio and images at
the liminal boundaries of earth’s atmosphere and outer space.
Composition No. 2 is a half hour transmission artwork that will be
transmitted four times from the HAARP Ionospheric Research Instrument
during the October 2022 research campaign. Air glow and Luxembourg
experiments will be paired with the AM modulation of Narrow Band
Television (NBTV) video art, spoken word, and sound art created by
Amanda Dawn Christie``

I monitor the first one for 0600-0630 UT Oct 23, mainly via:
https://ghostsintheairglow.space/
These two YT streams depend on someone else`s tuning on the ground at
Gakona, not necessarily coinciding with exactly what is transmitted.

Here`s how I attempted to log those; first, the one on the left:
0600 4850, 0604 4850 off, change to 3300; 0612 back to 4850; 0615 to
5400; 0617 4850; 0618 off, to 5400; 0622 off, to 4800 vs CODAR, error?
0623 to 4774.098 tuning around; 0624 on 5400, 0628 off, to 4850,
0629.7* all off.

The right one: 0600 5400, 0606 9500, 0612 4850, 0615 4800, 0617 4850,
0627 4845?, 0628 4850.

Those do not match exactly the tentative frequencies on the page:
4.85, 5.84, 9.5, 3.3 MHz.

9500, Oct 23 at 0608 is the only frequency I hear direct, carrier at
quick check. Nothing audible on the lower ones.

As for the content: audio: mostly noise, but musical intervals,
including singing, presumably ADC herself. Nothing recognizable until
the final tune I was trying to place. Eric Fetters-Walp in WA does:
``To my ears, that final tune at 0628 UTC sounded very much like a
version of "Hush Little Baby (Mama's Gonna Buy You a Mockingbird."``

The right one only has a visual display of rapidly changing blocks at
various scales of gray, which seems to be continuous regardless of
frequency changes. I guess this is the ``art``, but certainly conveys
no information, to me.

Further airings are Oct 24 at 0600-0630; 25 & 26 at 1630-1700 UT.
However, some of the times during the latter are outside, typos??
HAARP website showed 0530-0600 for the first one, obviously wrong, as
there was also a countdown clock leading to 06:00:00.

You would not know it from ADC`s publicity, but this is only one part
of extensive HAARP experiments now underway:
https://www.gi.alaska.edu/news/haarp-begin-largest-set-experiments-its-new-observatory

That page has no details of times and frequencies. A more explicit
press release has appeared in the WOR iog and also here:
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/News/ARRL%20Letter/2022-10-20/HAARP%20Transmission%20Schedule%20October%202022.pdf
Without specialized scientific equipment, we cannot make anything out
of the results, so look forward to official explanations.

One frequency listed for 22-24 UT Oct 22 was 9600, but I heard nothing
at 2315/2330 into KFS remotes. Walt Salmaniw, BC, did hear something
there later. Tnx to Richard Langley for alerting us about ADC`s opus

otherwise emit. I do hear it at 1503, S7/S9 on 15140 and much better
on S7/S9 11760, still claiming that the first airing be at 0800. In

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 23 at 1507, No signal direct from REE NAm
frequency by when it should be on, weekends. Leaves us with offtheback
from 15520 to ME, and too weak 11940 for SAm. Something`s always
nogood at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 22 at 2223, VOT at S9+45 into UTwente, OK
modulation except for some hum, concluding feature sounding like
``Gripping Piles`` -- am fairly sure neither word be correct, but tnx
to her heavy accent, and impossible to find any English program sked
on website. https://www.trtworld.com/ --- a few years ago, VOT RADIO
on SW was merged into the mainly TV website, and now there is a blank
space on WOR HITLIST for English programming. Apparently the only
radio programming it displays is for Tuerkiyeish language. 2229
multi-lingual ID filler reel; off at 2254*. Something`s awry at Ankara
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 11930, Oct 23 at 0700, JBA carrier amid Cuban jamming,
surely not R. Martí at this hour: Aoki shows BBC French via ASCENSION
daily at 0700-0730: another frequency management failure, not avoiding
this frequency like the plague, since Cuba will jam it whether RM be
on it or not. I see others blithely using 11930 even when both RM and
jamming are on it: Turkey, Sa`udi Arabia. Yes, their circuits and
targets may be diverse, but why risk co-channel to a radio war? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2161 monitoring: continued from
last report: the unscheduled appearance Saturday October 22 at 1814 on
IRRS 7290 & 1323: indeed it was a fragment, first half only, cut to
something else at 1830, but not before had concluded my ITALY item
about the late Dario Monferini.

Also confirmed Saturday October 22 at 1950 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+18 into nearby SDR, about 23 minutes into so started circa 1927.

Reconfirmed NOT on WRMI 15770, Sat Oct 23 at 1930, despite staying on
the websked months after replaced by a gospel huxter.

Reconfirmed NOT on 7780 or any other WRMI frequency at 0030 UT Sunday
October 23.

Confirmed UT Sunday October 23 until 0348 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, so
started circa 0319. Next:

** U S A. 17790, Oct 23 at 1506, WRMI is S9/+10 with R. Africa
service to SAm, much better way over here than ex-21525 still lacking
a proper antenna. WRMI itself presents no specific program sked, but
AFAIK it`s 100% gospel huxters. The gals at PanAm are jumping for joy:

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 23 at 0658, no signal from R. Vanuatu; nor 11835
after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1951 UT October 23

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 22 from 1445 past 1600, NO show of
LRA36 this Saturday into Argentine SDR; guess they had enough this
week on Wed and special Thu even tho truncated (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, 5040, 6000, 6165, Oct 22 at 0612, all these Rebelde/RHC
are OFF, while English remains on 6060 JBM and sufficient 6100.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba/RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5955, Oct 22 at 0614, pulse jamming against nothing, since R.
República quit Costa Rican transmitter on 5954 decade(s) ago. But the
paranoid Commies are on it, just in case! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. 15210 USB, Oct 22 at 1532, Marconi Radio International
tribute to Dario Monferini and Roberto Scaglione, all-Italian talk on
poor S5/S6 signal into UTwente, but doubt I could have understood it
in English. 1541 some repetitive music, like an IS. Auto-notch filter
against het and noise reduxion do help, still going past 1600. Tnx to
Mike Terry for this from MRI:

That wants to be our modest tribute to Dario (editor of Play DX) and
Roberto (Host of AWR's Italian DX programme). Stay tuned! Marconi
Radio International``

Here are looks at Dario from WRMI:

IRRS was also going to tribute Dario on SW, MW and web this weekend at
unspecified times. Check 7290 via Bulgaria at 18-19. Into UTwente,
music at 1812 Oct 22 suffers heavy 3 Hz SAH from another station,
CNR1? Beijing site supposed to stop at 1805* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Oct 22 at 0623, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati; Gary
Pence had notified me at 0410 that it was already S7/S8 into Oahu SDR.
Plus a bunch of TA carriers, see unID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 22 at 0617, VON is on at S9+20, but
undermodulated Hausa. Nothing at 1811 into Canary SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2161 monitoring: confirmed new time
UT Saturday October 22 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, just reactiivated with VG
S9+20/30 signal here toward the NW, and S9+32 into Missouri SDR. New
// 15770 however is JBA direct; not into UTwente if aimed thataway,
rather splash from 15775, i.e. CNR1 jammer vs SOH for long hours, per
Aoki. How about KFS remote at Halfmoon Bay CA on its SE antenna? 15770
achieves S7/S9, but even there, 5850 is much better, S9+15/30. 7730
will probably be the last one repaired next week, to resume at night
instead of 15770.

Also confirmed UT Saturday October 22 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
5130-, S9+8/13 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday October 22 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

Dario, via UTwente, Saturday October 22, WOR starts at 1814!!

during this hour. Here`s their new `gator:
