Hauser
** CUBA. 5040, 6000 & 6165, Sept 16 at 0617, all these RHC English are
off already; 6140 with JBA carrier leapfrog mixing product of 6060
over 6100; while 6100 itself is S9+10 and JBM in Spanish! 6060 the
only English, S9+20/30 with hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Sept 16 at 1436, RHC Spanish S9+10/20, VG modulation
but NO spurblobs +/- 70v kHz now, nor any heard for many weeks in
almost daily chex. In fairness I point out that in this case,
nothing`s wrong with RHC. But I`m sure they`ll appear again sometime
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 11590, Sept 16 at 1442, good S7/S9 signal in Turkic language
with Russian influence, tnx to keywords ``radyosu`` and ``kiloGertz``.
Conveying contact info with P O Box in HK?, some letters pronounced in
English, eventually ``TWR``. Uplooked later, it`s KTWR in Kazakh at
1430-1445 daily with ``Do You Know`` program per Aoki; follows Uighur
at 1400-1430 Mon-Thu only. WRTH files TWR Asia under SINGAPORE. Kazakh
in HFCC as 250 kW at 305 degrees, way offbeam thisaway (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** IRAN. 9640, Sept 16 at 1450, S5/S7 in Arabic as I recognize a key
phrase. Listed is VIRI in Arabic from Sirjan at 1430-1730. HFCC shows
500 kW at 216 degrees for CIRAF 39 = Sa`udi Arabia. Long path? Way
offbeam either way to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 16 at 0638, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Sept 16 at 0624, NO signal direct from VON.
Nor Sept 16 at 1718-1755+ into Canary SDR, only JBA nearly
on-frequency, no doubt ChiCom-occupied TIBET (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, Sept 16 at 1453, blasting S9+20/30
signal from WWCR-4 with really nice bluegrass banjo hymn about
Calvary. I axually pause to listen to TOMBS for a change, followed by
another bluegrass thru ToH with no talk at all except WWCR ID overlay.
Not sure it`s really TOMBS, but seems // VP 9455 WRMI never
synchronized. 9980 is almost 100% TOMBS at 1200-2400 except for
`Financial Survival` M-F at 20-21. Make that: 94% (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** UKRAINE. (7730), UR1 via WRMI circa 0500, `Ukraine: Security Issue`
as copied later from archive:

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_12_09_22.mp3
For Sept 12 = day 200 of war, including: drove out occupiers from over
20 settlements. Freeing area double the size of greater London since
last Wed. Z not ready to nego with Putin. World feared R Fed, not any
more, lots of weapons provided. Germany and France earlier made
mistake inviting R to participate in Europe. Thousands would have been
saved if U were armed earlier. Appeasement does not work. Integration
of U into NATO and EU must be fast-tracked. Europe prepared to enter
heating season without serious issues. R earning more on energy than
spending on war, 160 vs 100 gigadollars. 53% of German citizens
willing to sacrifice more. Nine ships left Odesa ports with grain. 122
total have left U for abroad. R deporting Us to far parts of R.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_13_09_22.mp3
For Sept 13 over 9 minutes, longest yet. No date or warday stamp. km
retaken from R control. Z believes U will defend to the end. Interview
with Fareed Zakaria. Zap NPP final reactor 6 shut down reducing risk
of nuke disaster but still high. Zone must be demilitarized. Fallout
cloud could reach neighboring countries. R incapable of fighting on
battlefield, rather vs civilians. R sending missiles to destroy
civilian infrastruxure, cowardly. Estonian PM says warcrime by R.
Liberated territories being cleaned up after war crimes, tortured
bodies discovered. Kherson, R seized two hotels, burglarized houses. U
intends to seek $ 300 blllion resparatons from R, not enouogh. Any R
gold and foreign exchange reserves should be handed over to U.
International agreements needed to allow this thru other countries. U
war stories game developed.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_14_09_22.mp3
For Sept 14, no date or day cited. Z says R behaves like international
terrorist. At least 1000 citizens killed in city near Kharkov during R
occupation. Hope not as bad as Bucha. Women tortured electrically.
Appeal to mothers of the world to rise up against Putin. Need more
military aid from international partners. R violates all intermational
conventions in treatment of U POWs. R violates norms of Geneva
Convention. Amnesty International in scandal, whitewash R genocide
against U (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, by money order or check on
a US bank.

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

Confirmed first SWBCs, UT Friday September 16 at 0130 on WRMIs, after
gospel huxter cut off at 0129.5 for ID, and some beeps before WOR:
7730, S9+10/20; 5850, S9/S8 both into Maryland remote. Once again BBB
steps on my last few words of closing at 0159, with two canned ID
sequences in a row.

Also confirmed, UT Friday September 16 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9 but
noisy into Maryland SDR, way off SW azimuth. But plays to conclusion
without overlap at 0159.

Also confirmed Friday September 16 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S8/9+10
direct, no jamming.

As expected on the third Friday of the month WOR confirmed NOT on IRRS
7290 or AM Italia 1323, at 1815 UT September 16. In past this hour has
been pre-empted for `Station of the Cars` rock music -- never shown as
such on the NEXUS-IBA program schedule -- but not this month. Missed
start of show with name, monitoring via nearby Noale SDR, on 1323 but
which also gets 7290 from Bulgaria, vs heavy storm noise around NE
Italy, as always?? 918 kHz is not on this time. Feature Story News, UN
News and various other filler fragments 1800-1815 & 1844-1900 are not
on either this week.

At first, 1323 is way under Romania`s minority service in German. The
IRRS show is some Christian discussion, pro-Jesus, anti-one-World,
etc. Gives address in Troy MI 48007. 1831 Diabetes PSA from Ad Council
involving reverse speaking; maybe changing sources now, mentions
American Prospect, and ID for 90.1, WUSB Stony Brook, LINY, time as 6
pm Tuesday, music fill; 1842 `Off the Wall` starts, leftish political
discussion by hackers, pre-primary or runoff of 8/23. See
https://www.wusb.fm/node/15993 I suspect like so much other filltime,
IRRS is just pulling programming off the web, perhaps without request
or knowledge by the originators.

Meanwhile, UTwente is getting second harmonic 14580 better than usual,
S5. 7290 cuts off at 1857*; 1323 seems still going with German QRM,
1859 ``IRRS Shortwave [sic] signing off`` and Verdi theme, in clear
after 1900 tone from Romania and off. I`ve asked IRRS whether WOR will
resume next Friday at 1815 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Sept 16 at 1447, yet again the WBCQ SuperStition is
off rather than World`s Last Chancing, zero signal into Enid boresight
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 16 at 0620, R. Vanuatu, music, S5 vs CODAR
swirshes peaking S8. Could not stay awake past 0700 to check 8620 and
the other set of frequencies, but Ron Howard reports from California:

``8620+, Radio Vanuatu, 0858+ UT. ID and local time ("8 o'clock");
into monologue in Bislama. Checking from 0940+, found RV had gone off
the air; no signal heard on any of the past or current frequencies!``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 650, Sept 16 at 0638 UT, WSM with music, but
considerable QRM from something else, unusual. Suspect some other US
station like KGAB out of whack at night, but clear at next check a few
minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12025, Sept 16 at 1445, S7/S9 open carrier. Only listee
in EiBi & Aoki at 14-15 is CRI Chinese via Urumqi Hutu, EAST
TURKISTAN, land of imperialist Chinese genocide against Uyghurs and
other Moslems. Or maybe a closer ute? Or BBC warming up Singapore for
1500+ English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 1010, CFRB, reply from Karl Zuk to my reports:

``Hello Glenn: Regarding CFRB 1010 --- I live 45 miles due north of
New York City and WINS is supposed to be a dominant 50 kW signal. I am
supposed to be within the WINS nighttime primary coverage area.
CFRB and WINS battle each other every night - Always have - Always
will. I can usually null both of them apart to listen, but this can't
be done with an omni-directional car radio.

Why this allocation was ever permitted, I don't know. As far as I can
tell, CFRB simply stays on day pattern 24/7. For all intents and
purpose - especially for casual listeners - no one would seriously
listen to this maniacal mix.

I have a family home in Central Michigan near Bad Axe. Here it is CFRB
dominant on 1010 days. At night, if you listen carefully and null - it
is not hard to log WINS underneath CFRB. They should be thought of as
the Gemini twins of 1010 kHz. What fun.

What I miss is WINS HD Radio. It was a fun experience when WINS used
to lock in with HD digital. All the co-channel scramble would
instantly disappear - leaving WINS in the clear and hi-fi - but it
rarely held on for any amount of time - day or night. Thanks for
listening - Karl Zuk`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2598 USB, Sept 15 at 0643 UT, ``no gale warnings``, VP and
off, from one of the Canadian CG stations in Newfoundland or vicinity,
but trouble is none scheduled at this overnight gap hour in
https://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm under Met Area 4 -- unless it`s VCP4,
3000 watts from Placentia, scheduled at 0737, but maybe that means
during standard time so a real hour earlier during DST? Anyhow glad to
be hearing something here again after a long noisy summer, now abating
somewhat. Checked 2749 USB first but nothing there: from Nova Scotia
area, usually better closer signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6754 USB, Sept 15 at 0626, CHR Trenton Military, still the
same set of ``No Report Received`` as much earlier on 15034 USB ---
looping that for hours and hours? At 0628 UT cited time as ``0625
zulu``! Then NRRs from: Comox, Victoria, Vancouver, Shearwater(? maybe
misheard as that`s Halifax). Fortunately we still have Gander
funxioning properly with same announcer, broader non-military airports
on 6604 USB.

15034 USB, Sept 15 at 1445, Trenton finally working with reports from
Greenwood, Gander... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530, Sept 15 at 1449, Chinese S5 vs CODAR S9 peaks, i.e.
CNR1 jammer against Sound of Hope. Also weaker S4/S5 on 13130 & 13020,
the usual trio. This time I patrol all WOOB ranges between 7.9 and
16.1 MHz and do not hear a single other one, not even as JBA carrier.
Get with it, ChiCom! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6140, Sept 15 at 0632, JBA carrier, no doubt leapfrog mixing
product of RHC English 6060 over 6100 another 40 kHz beyond. 6060 is
S9+10/20 undermodulated, 6100 is S9+20/30 with only a trace of
modulation. Nothing detected on 6020 for reverse leap.

6230, Sept 15 at 0635, RHC English JBA on leapfrog mixing product of
6100 over 6165 another 65 kHz beyond; 6165 is S9+30. 6035, JBA
carrier, which would be reverse leap of 6165 over 6100 another 65 kHz
below.

5955, Sept 15 at 0637, JBA carrier, which would be leapfrog mixing
product of 6165 over 6060 another 105 kHz beyond. Nothing detected on
6270 which would be revere leap of that. All this is happening at
Bauta site. 6000, if it were still on, would not be participating as
it`s from Quivicán. The Other Side:

``Cuba left off the list of suggested tourism destinations
Varadero was chosen as the world's second most 'ideal beach', but did
not even appear as a recommended travel destination.
Roberto Álvarez Quiñones, Miami 12 Sep 2022 - 19:01 CEST`` ...
https://diariodecuba.com/economia/1663002060_42186.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. As we are almost out of summer, I wondered whether
there could still be any DX propagation in the middle of our night on
16 m? Yes, the two OSOB Talata relay frequencies as better heard
previously, which have a large trans-equatorial advantage.

17790, Sept 15 at 0621, JBA S5/S6, i.e. AWR French 0600-0630; and:
17530.024, Sept 15 at 0622, JBA carrier offset as usual, i.e. BBCWS in
English, 0600-0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 15 at 0630 direct, VON is off again/still.

[and non] 7255 minus 67 Hz = 7254.933, Sept 15 at 1724 into Canary
SDR, VON is on in English, S8/S9 but VP in noise. 1801 recheck is off
leaving VP S5/S6 music only +002 Hz, i.e. Xizang PBS, ChiCom-occupied
TIBET, scheduled until 1805: and yes, cuts off at 1805*. Still no VON
at 1830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 1120, Sept 15 at 0645 UT, KMOX St Louis totally in
the clear, no KETU daytimer Spanish CCI tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2155 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday September 15 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/15 into Maryland
SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thursday September 15 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S7/S9
with storm crashes into Maryland SDR. A gospel huxter played right up
until 0130 with no ID break, cut to WOR. Then checking into Bonaire
SDR, better S9+5/15, but worse by 0150 with noise increase.

WOR 2156 should be ready for download early UT Friday September 16 and
first SWBCs at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7730. EXPECTED:

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Sept 14 at 1450 nothing yet into
Argentine remote, but LRA36 cuts on S4/S8 at *1452 amid musical
prélude; 1500.5 standard opening with sign-on, 4-lingual warning that
it`s in Spanish, 2022 cycle of Esperanza Audaz, staff names; 1502
Esperanza themesong I never tire of hearing; 1505 brief scripted
almost poetic piece also about memorias; 1506 song with martial beat;
1511 ID with ``su compañía``, into live YL chat, intro as the 20th =
vigésimo programa of the season; also mention 21st? maybe referring to
next week. 1513 geo coordinates, date as 14 Sept, temp 1 degree, or
low? was -6, winds from north at 20 kph gusting to 37; 1516 contact
platform info; 1518 homage to some rock star; 1520 ID with ``Nacional,
nos une``; this-week-in-history starting with something on Sept 11,
1888; International Chocolate Day, etc. 1527 song; 1531 ID,
``Nacional, nos une`` again; historical talk about Sarmiento in the
1800s; 1544 weather again; 1545 song now peaking at S9 but chopped off
air at 1546.4*, never back by when I quit at 1611. Something`s always
audacious at Antarctica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 1010 kHz, Sept 14 at 0628 UT, adstring atop CCI, trying to
hear any AC 904 or Jax refs from WJXL, but 0630 finally a ``NewsTalk
10-10`` ID, CFRB Toronto again. It seems one cannot find a pattern map
thru FCC which merely linx to CRTC, but I again point out that per NRC
Antenna Pattern Book, CFRB`s at night is very unfavorable thisaway,
most of it going NE up, or down, the St. Lawrence. But Canadian AM
stations are notorious for not `protecting` USA co-channels as
supposedly licenced. Of course major competitor in the east is WINS
NYC into Atlantic, never heard here; and KXEN Festus no longer matters
but did protect CFRB. Aha, this
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=CFRB&service=AM&s=F&h=N
shows a very different CFRB at night, considerable lobes to SW as well
as NE, null toward WINS. I wonder what 1010 be like in mid-NY state.
However, this shows coverage *area*, not pure antenna pattern, so
obviously influenced by proximity to two Great Lakes (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, Sept 14 at 2220-2224, CHR, Trenton Military
robot uttering ``no report received`` over and over from: Bagotville,
Trenton itself!, Ottawa, Toronto, 4 times in a row, restarting
``Terminal Forecast`` for a 5th run; then ID and timecheck, ``Aviation
Weather``, nothing but NRRs for Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg,
Edmonton, and repeating that once more before I quit. Obviously
nohuman is paying attention. Let`s hope that Canadian Forces
monitoring of, say, incoming ICBMs, be a bit more efficient. BTW, I
often tune across no signal at all on 15034 and wonder if it`s even on
air as much as ``required``. Likewise night channel 6754-USB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, Sept 14 at 0243, RHC S9/+10 of dead air in English,
while 6000 is S9+20/30 of undermodulated English. At 0245, 11670 is
also dead air at S7/S9, possibly would be English instead of correct
Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 14 at 0253, R. Rebelde is off; 5040 RHC is weak;
4765 R. Progreso S9+10/20 more or less normal, the 60-m situation in
electricity-short Cuba where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, Sept 14 at 2230, R. Cairo, S9/+10 of humwhine only
into Virginia SDR, no attempt at program modulation; at 2210 direct
had been a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 14 at 0621, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati
and no other 9/kHz splits at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 6179.963, Sept 14 at 0246, JBM music, probably La Voz
Alegre MWV most likely to be off-frequency, rather than CRI Russian
via East Turkistan, std denunciation; nor RNA Brasil apparently off,
leaving also a JBA carrier on 11780 which could be Romania in Spanish.
RNA nominally until 0305* on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 14 at 0637, VON is on but poor S7/S9
undermodulated. Sept 14 at 1850 check via Canary SDR, it`s absent.
1857 huge S9+20 carrier from China cuts on prior to 1900 fanfare and
Turkish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120 kHz, Sept 14 at 0627 UT, ``clear`` channel
KMOX with heavy QRM in Spanish, mentions 97.9 so surely KETU
Catoosa/Tulsa, 10 kW ``daytimer`` or maybe only 7 kW ``critical
hours``, neither applicable now. 97.9 is the 250-watt translator
K250BN wagging the dog of 1120. Have caught them cheating before to
KMOX` detriment. The pair make a fast SAH counted about 8 Hz. MWoffset
shows 7 Hz, with KETU on 1119.9932, but that was in January 2019
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.001, Sept 13 at 2226, VOT is on via UTwente, heavily
accented YL about Türkiye/Hellas relations. (No, Greece does not
really demand we call it Hellas in English; but why not?)

9830, Sept 14 at 2230, NO signal from VOT in English to Virginia SDR.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2155 monitoring: Confirmed Tuesday September
13 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, after BBB ID claiming this be ``9395`` ---
obviously he is not paying attention, then `Everglades` ID, S8/9+10
into Maryland SDR with lite pulse jamming at first, and not much worse
by 2256, and in fact Radio Libertad still well audible atop it, at
least for all the Cubenidians.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 13 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20
into Maryland SDR. Compared to whatever be on 9955 now, the modulation
level on 9395 is lower.

Also confirmed Wednesday September 14 from approx. 2100:22 on WBCQ
7490 minus 71 Hz = 7489.929, S7/9+5 into Virginia and Maryland SDRs.
Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

New WOR 2156 should be ready for download early UT Friday September 16
and first SWBC at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re W6F, 18164.2 USB, Route 66 On the Air special: main
w6jbt.org site shows dates Sept 10-18 only. There are many more
participating in the W6# series from CA to IL including some in OK,
even the tiny corner of KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, Sept 14 at 0235, WTWW on here instead of 5830 with
gospel huxterism, while 5085 is a-rockin. S9+30/40 with caller
discussing weather in South Dakota ``this morning``, hard to tell if
new or similar season decades ago from the Scriptures for America
archive; then right into assertion that ``Satan has done a great job``
concerning 501C3s, the ``anti-Christ church`` and the good ole days of
blue laws so you could not dine out after church Sundays. I guess it
be the #1 programming if not the #1 transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5970, Sept 14 at 0242, WEWN Spanish still absent. However,
Ivo Ivanov reports it in the morning before change to day frequency
12050: ``Very good signal of WEWN-3 Radio Católica Mundial in Spanish
on 5970 kHz via Vandiver, September 13:

https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2022/09/wewn-3-radio-catolica-mundial-on-5970_14.html
1200-1356 on 5970 EWN 100 kW / 160 deg to CeAm Spanish, instead of
00-14 UTC via SDR Boca Raton, FL in USA``

<3 minute clip implies it cut on air at 1200. But from his format you
cannot tell whether he monitored the entire span, or just assumes it.
BTW at this time there was a lot of English liturgy being translated,
or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 14 at 0642, R. Vanuatu still here on 2 x
3966+, S4/S5 music vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 14 at 0301
finds 1044 kHz only. I was thinking that Spain was there but no more
than 5 or 10 kW listed now; used to be 300 kW Morocco but inactive as
of WRTH 2016. Biggest power now is 200 kW from much further Ethiopia,
which should be on by now if not 24h, and today`s Mekele sunrise 0311
UT. 1044 still audible at 0340, when I`m not getting any Benin on 1476
or 1566, nor those at listed *0320.

One more TA JBA carrier, tho, on 855 at 0341, axually sounds like two
beating. SPAIN, RNE1 synchros are here, 300 and 50 kW and several less
per WRTH 2022. A few months ago, several ``300`` kW RNE outlets were
being powered down, but my follow-up that some of them were already
listed at less than 300 was hardly noticed. Anyhow, I expect TA JBA
carriers will be much less evident now on such as 585, 684, 738, 855.
774 used to be a good spot too but already only 100 kW max (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995v, Sept 13 at 2150, R. Cairo is back on air, S9+25
into UTwente, presumed English but totally extremely distorted.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [and non]. 9670, Sept 13 at 0613, pop music at S4/S6,
presumably Channel 292, which most of the time propagates Brother
HyStairical while pretending not to -- but this is not // 7570 TOMBS
on WRMI, so what is sked now on `292? Specific program sked for this
date and hour at
https://www.channel292.de/schedule-9670-khz/
shows this in a block covering 0500-1000 on Sept 12-17: ``May be off
air for some time due to maintenance work all week``. I do not measure
them directly but note that 292 frequency matches RVM Brasil circa
9665, i.e. exactly same pitch het when tuned to 9664-USB and 9669-USB
--- but something on 9675 presents a lower pitch, when tuned to
9674-USB: that would be a CNR1 non-jammer, more likely to be precisely
on its frequency that 292 or RVM on theirs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 13 at 0708, JBA carrier from R.
Kiritimati, and nothing else on 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 13 at 0627, VON is on, undermodulated S9/+10,
think I heard the drumming IS go by once in passing, more Hausa.

7255-, Sept 13 at 1636, no VON signal yet into Canary Islands SDR on
signature off-frequency 7254.93 or so, just noise instead of 1630-1900
English. Typically will cut on and off multiple times during that
span. Next check, 1715, it`s on in English with squeal, S7/S9, VP
hardly readable vs storm noise level, -67v Hz offset = 7254.933. Next
check, 1821, OFF again!

Are we to assume that VON are unable, or merely unwilling, to employ
any of their other three long-listed frequencies? Evenings were on
11770, which ought to arrive better now; alternate 9690; all always
offset-minus; and even DRM noise circa 15120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWAZILAND [and non]. 9585, Sept 14 at 1454, music box IS and IDs,
``This is T-W-R, broadcasting from Eswátini``, 1455 opening presumed
Malgache, S4/S6 via longpath. Recheck at 1501, now fast SAH from a
second station, i.e. CRI Japanese hour scheduled to start at *1458 via
Xianyang 59 site, so maybe not a problem in Madagascar (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. Sept 13 at 2130 UT, via PBS on OETA-2, repeated at 2200
on OETA-1. BBC World News America is back to `normal` with Laura
Trevelyan anchoring Queenews et al. from NYC:

** U S A. 18164.2 USB, Sept 13 at 2123, W6F on Route 66 in Kingman AZ,
which is in the 7th, not 6th call area, making quick contacts, I can
hear AI8O calling over & over but W6F cannot. Op spells their name

** U S A. 9330v, Sept 13 at 1453, yet another day WBCQ/WLCR
SuperStition is AWOL from own 24/7 schedule, Enid target safe from it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555-USB, Sept 13 at 1452, WJHR gospel huxter is JBA S7/S8
about the same as noise level. Per DXMAP, HF sporadic E MUF is barely
reaching here between FL & OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15670-15675, Sept 13 at 1423, the hybrid unauthorized lower
half of WINB beepery is VP S6/S7 while the upper half in DRM noise
15675-15680 is hardly distinguishable from band noise level. Recent
new frequency scheduled 14-15 only M-F, then 15745-15755 at 15-17. Not
clear why a change needed, nothing listed to QRM 15745-15755 before
1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7932.05, Sept 13 at 0620, R. Vanuatu S5/S7, JBA talk vs
always present CODAR, i.e. 2 x 3966+. Unfortunately still barely awake
at 0709, JBA carrier on 8620+. So despite alleged help from NZ, RV is
sticking to wacko schedule of two totally wrong frequencies and their
harmonix, 3966+ and 4310+ switching at 0659/0700 --- while local
listeners are surely wondering where it went - they might encounter
3966 if tuning around 3945 especially on analog radios, but not 4310
without a DXing mentality.

Bryan Clark, NZ, wrote Sept 9: ```A follow up message from Adrian at
RNZ Pacific regarding the Radio Vanuatu shortwave transmitter problems
says, ``I heard months ago the company that made the TX has gone out
of business. That raises the problem of spare parts plus no local
technical expertise available. The solution will be very expensive and
who knows if it will happen anytime soon.`` Regards, Bryan``` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
