** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Oct 7 at 1440 past 1600, monitoring for
LRA36 via Argentine remote, in case of a Friday make-good after AWOL
Wednesday, but nothing; nor did Gary Pence hear it. Better luck on
Saturday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. Just before bedtime Oct 7, neighborhood power
failure at 0610 UT! Soon notified OG&E, which restored it at 0733,
cause unknown, fried squirrel? So meanwhile, I take the opportunity to
DX during a sesquihour of no local powerline noise, quite a treat, tho
my main rx are not set up for battery power, seldom needed. So I`m on
the DX-398, altazimuth wrist mount. I don`t expect anything
superlative, but what else is there to do? See also NICARAGUA.

At 0641 on 650, I again have talk in English with WSM nulled.
Previously suspected KGAB Wyoming. All I can catch is phone-in number
877-332-8255. Reversely uplooking phone numbers is often unproductive,
but this goes right to: CKOM! in Saskatoon. Guess what: all its night
power is supposed to go north, only a minor lobe south on day pattern,
per NRC Book: Yet another Canadian invading American airspace on AM.
It`s U4 10/10 kW. Radio-locator claims CKOM is direxional only at
night. Last logged here Oct 28, 2018 and Sept 7, 2017.

Now making a `fast SAH` with WSM. IIRC, WSM was once known as the one
station always sticking to precise frequency, but MWOffsets shows it
on 650.0115 as of a year ago, ranging 649.9999 to 650.013. And CKOM:
649.9992, down to 649.9988-, as of 2020y. That means a nominal
separation of 12.3 Hz or maximum 14.2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 870, Oct 7 at 0649, ``wobbler`` carrier QRMing WWL,
roughly also NW/SE, a typical Cuban defect. WRTH shows three R. Reloj
outlets of, 10, 10 and 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, Oct 7 at 2123 check, no signal today from R. Cairo
into UTwente. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA. 720, Oct 7 at 0635, nulling WGN, I hear recitation of
Lord`s Prayer in Spanish. Surely it`s the closest overtly RCC Latin,
R. Católica in Managua, so SS on 720 isn`t necessarily KSAH, Cuba, or
Mexico, all secular. WRTH shows YNA3RC with 25 kW but at 1000-0430.
During local power blackout, see CANADA, on DX-398, but should be
audible anyway. Probably easiest Nickie, not unusually reported from
USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 7 at 2243, S9+45/50 into UTwente, VOT English
with some hum, much preferable to sometimes squeal, with music, and
2250 the 2-minute multilingual ID filler spiel reel much later in hour
than usual, 2252 sign-off to 2253 fragment of IS and off* Something`s
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Sporadic E MUF commonly in the 70s MHz, but not
above 88; plenty to bounce beacons on 28, checking October 7 at
2015-2033 UT. Except for BC and Veracruz outliers, all from New
England in the 1400-1600 mile range, so are they long Es, double-hop,
or short F2 propagation?

One of these logs leads me to a better updated beacon listing than
WJ5O which stopped in 2016y but is still up, so I quote WI5V from now
on. Precise frequencies as listed rather than measured, but close
enough; next line after my logs is the WI5V info; and after that,
stuff from individual QRZ.com pages.

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2159 monitoring: due to damage
disruption at WRMI, just in case, I check active frequencies at
previously scheduled times, such as 0130 UT Friday October 7, despite
5850 & 7730 transmitters still silent - even tho in this case, WOR was
cancelled two weeks ago: nope.

However at 0343 UT Friday October 7, I find WOR in progress on 9455,
i.e. as had been scheduled at 0330 on another silent frequency, 7780.
Skedgrid still shows Supreme Master TV during this hour on 9455. No
telling what will happen by next week.

However, a Radio World article about WRMI includes this bit of
significant new info: “So far we have three antennas that are probably
destroyed beyond repair: one to Europe, one to Africa and one to
Central America and the South Pacific.” --- so that implies these
frequencies are not coming back soon unless on some other antennas:
15770 and/or 7730 to Europe; 21525 to Africa; 7780 to Central America.
7780 affects several WOR broadcasts.

Also confirmed Friday October 7 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S6/S8 direct, no
jamming heard, but undermodulated:

Also confirmed Friday October 7 from 1815.25 on IRRS SW via BULGARIA,
7290, S7/S9 into UTwente but not audible on x2 = 14580; and also via
AM Italia, as if taking my advice, this week active on 918 kHz, VG, no
QRM, S9+25 into nearby Noale SDR, while // 1323 is buried by Romania
in German; and nothing on LW 207. WOR heard to completion 1844+.

Tuning in earlier at 1758, 918 with inconsequential chat on `Off the
Hook` show from WUSB on LINY, but chopped off just before 1800: ``IRRS
SW Signing-on``, and `Feature Story News`, from Washington - not
``Free Speech News`` as someone guessed; as always, 7290 cuts on late,
JIP just before 1801; 1803 `Spotlite` segment; 1805 IRRS ID, rock
music fill to 1815 IRRS ID again, and then WOR.

After WOR at 1844 a few words promoting? Sea Shepherd, cut to IRRS ID,
1845 music; 1853 check it`s Irish tunes, 1854 DJ and more such music.
7290 cuts off air at 1857* just as heavy ACI from 7295 CGTN English
starts. Music continues on 918 until 1900 IRRS SW signing ``off``, QSL
reports to otherwise denied P O Box in Milano, Verdi theme, to 1903.5
ID. Feed from Noale keeps cutting out. Enough of that - until 2030.

Also confirmed Friday October 7 at 2044 the 2030 on AM Italia, both
918 kHz, S9+22 into Noale SDR; and 1323, S9/+12 with fast SAH and some
CCI nowhere near as bad as at 1815 from Romania. Next:

** U S A. 5800, Fri Oct 7 at 0347, the fifth WRMI transmitter back on
air, in Spanish, presumed the new R. República hour three nights a
week on WRMI itself in addition to from 0100 on 9490 via France. And
5800 is being jammed, as expected as I already heard jamming against
nothing there at a later hour; here anyway, RR/WRMI is well atop. Once
anything is jammed on a frequency, the Cubans will let it run much
longer, causing collateral damage, until now restricted to only one
WRMI frequency with exile broadcasts, 9955.

5800 was already on at 0130 when I heard the V of Mongolia relay
starting. And for now extended beyond nominal 0400* again, still on at
0726 with Brother HyStairical about the imminent doom of Y2K! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), Oct 7 at 2255 tuning the end of WBCQ webcast with
special airing of `Extension 7490` as publicized. Sean was going to
talk about radio, which I wanted to hear, and play music requests. I
was out and set up to record from 2200 but it failed. I do hear him
about to play three more tunes, but only has time for one, or part of
one, as 2258 time is running out, and he must get off shortly since,
admiringly and deferentially, he says what Hal Turner has to say will
be much more important. HT won`t be for two more hours tonight but the
original airing on Oct 4 was just before HT. Anyhow this episode will
repeat next Tuesday and apparently same for the rest of October, so
will have more chances to hear it.

Uncle Bill Tilford took me to task for my remark about him and Hal
Turner, so I asked, ``Bill, why be so quarrelsome?`` - and his reply:

``That's a fair and reasonable question, especially since this isn't
one of my productions, nor is it a show "under my wing".

But it IS a relatively new show, and like all new shows in shortwave,
be they music, cooking or whatever, it deserves a more serious
treatment that what was given here, especially since like some other
shows, it appears to be going through the weird fraternity hazing
ritual that the engineering and support staff in Monticello sometimes
put new programs through on the schedule on 7490 and 6160.

Intentionally or unintentionally, you may give readers the impression
that this show is another helping of political or social polemic and
can be dismissed as such, and while you are welcome to dislike his
song choices or stories or all of the above, he (like any other new
host) deserves a less dismissive introduction than what he
received.

Back when WBCQ was doing multiprogram specials on all channels, I
thanked Overcomer on air a couple of times for giving up their regular
hour to help make the simulcast possible (no, I did NOT hail Brother
Stair as the prophet in so doing). Would you have taken me to task
about having said something nice to TOM for letting us have their
time?``

And then I got this from Sean Welsh himself:

``Hi Glenn, As a long time listener to WOR, I am quite concerned that
you may need some clarification of a comment I made on my show
"Extension 7490", according to a post that was relayed to me by a few
listeners of my show.

If you had listened to the entire show, you might have discovered that
my show is mainly humour, music and radio and weird true life stories
and sarcasm.

My tail end "endorsement" of Mr. Turner was simply that - sarcasm. I
think it was quite clear when I said at the end of my show "....I'll
be on next month unless everything that Hal Turner says comes true,
then I won't be here".

My show contains doesn't contain [sic] any political matter - as a
matter of fact, if I you had listened to the first 15 minutes of the
show, I relayed a story concerning my encounter with a negative ham
radio operator from Germany and his political views and how I played
the "What The World Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love / Abraham Martin and
John" by Tom Clay to contra that.

I trust that you'll tune into a full hour next time so you may
understand fully the concept of the show. 73 Sean Welsh``

So there you have it: I completely missed the sarcasm, and despite my
best efforts could not hear the entire show this time. Now Sean has
just joined the WOR iogroup so our contact should improve.

`AAAWWW` starting on same at 0000 UT October 8 is recognized as rerun

** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED, Posted to MW groups at 1541 UT Oct 7: 1160

call from a man, soon faded away. NRC AM Log has no ETHnix on 1160;
there are of course Spanish. This could be part of a REL format, but
so far by schedules have ruled out WYLL Chicago, KRDY San Antonio,
which are in English at this time, if not all the time. Ideas?

Tnx for replies on the IRCA iog: ``Mike Tammy 4:12pm #29504 It's the

Nóng bỏng back translated to English? Merely ``hot``. What about the

** CUBA. 6140, Oct 6 at 0642, JBA carrier, presumed leapfrog mixing

both those be on, even tho 6100 be S9/+10 of dead air, and 6060
S9+10/20 of undermodulated English, none others. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``Opinion - Editorial: As Cubans take to the streets to protest, where

when international aid is being sought to solve their problems, would
be an inexcusable contradiction in the public's eyes.
DDC Madrid 03 Oct 2022 - 15:04 CEST

Cubans are once again taking to the streets to protest and make
demands of the Government, as their living conditions have
deteriorated significantly in recent days, and this is not because of
the hurricane that recently affected the western provinces.

All of Cuba is languishing without electricity and, therefore, in a
dire state in terms of access to food and hospital care, to cite just
two of the main deficiencies being suffered. Meanwhile, where is
Miguel Díaz-Canel? Where is Raúl Castro?`` ...

** CUBA. 5800, Oct 5 at 0630, pulse jamming against nothing, obviously
provoked by additional R. República scheduled 3 nights a week via WRMI
itself at 03-04, even tho impossible now until that transmitter`s
antenna be repaired! I warned that this would lead to more collateral
damage against other programming too on 5800. Until now Cuban jamming
has attacked only 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Oct 5 at 0624, RHC English, S9/+10 but JBM; 6060 also
S9/+10, sufficient modulation but some hum and distortion. No other
frequencies on now. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Oct 5 at 2206. R. Cairo, S9+25 into UTwente with
extremely distorted English. Something`s always abysmal at Abis (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 5 at 0621 UT, no signal here from R.
Kiribati, but Gary Pence, KM5X, reports Oct 5, presumably via Hawai`i
remote or maybe KFS: ``I didn`t check 846 until 0428z and they were on
already. 73, Gary``. And Ron Howard: ``Recently observed while
listening at Asilomar State Beach, Calif.: R. Kiribati (846), anomaly
this week? Not on the air Oct 3 (Monday), when they normally would be
broadcasting; heard Oct 4 as usual; on Wednesday (Oct 5) they were
heard on the air from 0600+ UT, a day that would normally be off the
air.`` So perhaps it go and come on an irregular basis, even within a
single night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 5 at 0631, no signal from VON direct. At 1712
and later, no signal into Canary SDR, except JBA presumed Tibet not
off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11940, Wed Oct 5 at 2209, token English from REE features
interview about Tim Burton`s ``Labyrinth`` opening in Madrid. More
about it here, for one sesquiminute:

https://www.usatoday.com/videos/entertainment/2022/09/29/dare-you-enter-tim-burtons-labyrinth/10459037002/
11940 at S9/+18 is far better than 15520 or 17855 into Maryland SDR,
even tho it`s for S America, as autumnal conditions prevail. Expect in
B-22 will resume 9690 for N America, better than 17855 in our
evenings, worse in mornings and daytime. For such a multi-hour span
they should use at least two bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.002, Oct 5 at 2207, VOT English suceeds today, S9+50
into UTwente, undermodulated but sufficient if you turn it up.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Cuts off at 2256.5* after
first extra ID in German during IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 monitoring: ``a short list due
to Hurricane Ian. From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada,
the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna:
random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: World of Radio,
monitoring and confirming the latest for #2158, 9395 and 5950 kHz only
heard until the antenna farm can be fixed up. Hope to hear soon 5850
kHz, 1030 UT. Canadian Thanksgiving Day this weekend, Oct 10, 2022,
happy turkey day to the Canadians. WRMI:

5950, static QRN, 0030, 0042, 0055 (55433), (55434), 0059, Oct 3 UT
2022 [Mon]

[Tue] (Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard``

Confirmed Tuesday October 4 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+22 into Maryland
SDR; the preceding `Midnight Cry` not quite finished with contact info
when cut off at 2329.5 for ID.

Also confirmed Wednesday October 5 at 2100+ on WBCQ 7489.9v, just
barely on S4 signal direct = noise level. Straining, I could not copy
program number or date, but ``Korea, Mexico`` in the billboard, which
match this edition. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S [probably still off]

** U S A. At 1957 UT Oct 5, Jeff White of WRMI notified me: ``Hi
everyone. I am very happy to say that we got 9955 kHz back on the air
at 1900 UT today. I had expected it to happen tomorrow, but we were
fortunate to have some fast progress today. It will remain on the air
24 hours per day until further notice. We continue to work on the
other frequencies. We have four on the air now: 5950, 9395, 9455 and
9955 kHz -- all of them on 24 hours per day. Jeff``.

9955 confirmed at 2238 Oct 5 amid `Wavescan` about R. Dunedin, NZ,
S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, well atop jamming. See also CUBA above,
jamming added to 5800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5980, Oct 5 at 0626 as I tune downband, leapfrog mixing
product at S8/S9 of TOMBS and University Network, so I know WWCR must
be running both 5890 and 5935, and so they are, both blasting in.

The transmitter sked on website expired Sept 30 but obviously still on
the air; there may have been some seasonal QSY time adjustments.
Program skeds not updated either, still for Sept 1 claiming that
WWCR-4, 5890 operates overnight UT Sat & Sun only, ``OFF AIR`` 05-12
UT M-F, but this is Wednesday! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1550, Oct 5 at 2058 UT and several previous chex, I have
been unable to detect KKLE, Winfield KS, which NRC DX News reported:
``550 KKLE KS Winfield – Silent Aug, 2; back on the air Sept. 20 at
2:30 p.m. Central time.`` It`s U1 250/52 watts, sibling station to
KLEY 1130 Wellington KS, in fact with the same Wellington address, but
news/talk. KLEY has continued active 24h with AC rock format, licensed
as U1 250/1 watt but obviously day power at night. Higher in band
means KKLE weaker here than KLEY but not that much difference on
groundwave at similar distance. If really active, KKLE should also be
250 watts at night? KKLE may be playing games with FCC, like many
stations, firing up briefly to avoid losing license, then off again.
But I don`t recall hearing it before August 2 either (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 5 at 0631, weak signal no doubt RV, now without
ACI from either side. Wish they were still switching to 11835 at 0600,
as 0700+ is too late for me to hear their best signal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2324 UT October 5

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated Oct 4
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** CUBA. 9955, 9560-9570, Oct 4 at 0626, jamming against nothings;
also 7435, 7335 and more so 6030, Oct 4 at 0630. Electrical fluid is
scarce, but first things first! At 0632, NO broadcasts on 5025, 5040,
6000, 6060, 6100, 6165 nor of course any leapfrog mixing products.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Oct 4 at 1447, RHC is back, S9+10 and no spurs; also
11760 S8/S9; 15140 S9 but undermodulated, suptorted; 15230 S9 just
barely modulated; at 1453, 9710, S4/S7 undermodulated. If sites remain
same as in EiBi & Aoki, these account for all three: 9710 Bejucal,
15230 Quivicán, in between, all Bauta (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Oct 4 at 2147, R. Cairo, English extremely
distorted at S9+35 into UTwente. Doubly incredible: that they can`t or
won`t fix it; and yet don`t just leave the transmitter off, which is
doing far more harm than good this way (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 4 at 0634, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati.
Nothing else on 9/kHz splits, any lingering TAs propped out. Gary
Pence, KM5X, reports: ``Hi Glenn, I checked 846 at 0445z, not on yet;
checked again 0525z, it`s on now. At NH6XO`` [Hawai`i remote] (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Oct 4 at 0629, no signal direct from VON. At
1735, no signal into Spain SDR, just JBA on-frequency carrier from
Tibet. 1819 not even that, nothing at all except storm noise over
northern Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Oct 4 at 1445, PN, 25-watt ND beacon at
PoNca City, reactivated, as my loudest near-local signal, moreso even
than 341 EI, EnId. PN was first noted OFF as of August 23. It`s had
similar outages before, always coming back, so far (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Oct 4 at 2030, REE manages to modulate the ME
transmitter for the fourth day in a row, stupid ballgame provoking
irrational enthusiasm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 4 at 2201, still no signal into UTwente other
than JBA China. Cuts on at *2208, JIP news, with horrible squeal,
autonotch not helping much, but bandwidth too narrow at 2.61 kHz
escapes it, but not also some hum. I shall not listen any further.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE. `Ukraine: Security Issue` notes from web if not via WRMI:

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_30_09_22.mp3
For 30 Sept, including: shelling casualties in Zap region convoy at
checkpoint. 52 buses burned down. R hit city with tornado? systems.
Intel director estimates very hi possibility of R using tactical nuxe
along frontline. U needs more defensive weapons. Hi levels of
intimidation from R next few weeks should speed up delivery of
weapons to U. And blowing up pipeline, blackmailing Eu to raise
stakes. Min of Defense on U giving nuxe to R years ago. Brit official
visited U secretly. U encircling R troops near Lyman. R spent $ 100K on
anti-U propaganda, more than 50 fake websites. Mark Hamill of Star
Wars became ambassador to raise funds.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_01_10_22.mp3
For 1 October, including: civilian convoy of cars in Kharkiv region,
20 people killed. Humanitarian convoy in Zap. region also hit, 30
killed. U submitted application for accelerated accession to NATO,
signed by Pres Z. Peace restored only by expelling occupiers. U leads
in negotiation efforts. Impossible with this R pres, need another one.
Joining NATO might not take place till after war. Hope application
help speed up arms delivery. As soon as R loses, all hesitant
countries will be first to vote for U to join NATO. Approx. 5500 R
servicemen surrounded somewhere. Pres P will not gain anything,
according to American experts, by nuclear attack. Would be his last
argument, fatal for aggressor. U would have right to attack across all
of Russia if nuxe used. P wants to freeze U in winter by cutting off
gas. Occupiers detained head of Zap NPP, took him somewhere, fate
unknown. RusAtom should release the director-general immediately. Pres
Z included among favorites for Nobel Peace Prize, among bookies.
Another is David Attenborough, TBA Oct 7 in Oslo. Art collexions to
foreign museums.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_02_10_22.mp3
For 2 October, including: City of Lyman liberated. P`s troops
retreating. 9 C&E European countries back U sovereignty, U and Georgia
should become members of NATO eventually. Appeal to join already
processed. Call on NATO for active deterrence of R. U conducting
negotiations on join NATO since May after Sweden and Finland, to
forestall a future R retry. Safety zone around Zap NPP discussed. R
told IAEA that Dir-Gen of Zap NPP temporarily detained. Was kidnapped
for refusing to follow orders. In Kherson region, R abducted married
couple Sept 25, whereabouts unknown, for refusing to vote in pseudo
referendum. 412 U kids died from invasion, more than 784 injured,
figures are not final and keep growing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Oct 4 at 0648 UT, FBY, my most reliable
2nd-adjacent-state LW beacon, FairBurY, Nebraska, mixing with another
starting with T-, but too much overlap QRM, i.e. TOR, TORrington,
Wyoming, which I have also heard before. Another 293, UI, qUIncy,
Illinois, not reheard lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday October 4 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, reactivated a few hours ago,
S9+10 into Maryland SDR, some rapid clicking QRM. At 0046 check
direct, also S9+10 somewhat undermodulated.

Confirmed Tuesday October 4 at 2230 on webcast of WRMI but 9955 still
not back on air. At least 9395 is again in use, next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** U S A. 5950, Oct 4 at 1455, no signal direct from WRMI-8, but
shortly confirmed on, via Georgia SDR. 9395, WRMI-6, at 1455, S3/S5
direct with BS, the only two back on so far. 9395 is dispensable 03-22
UT when nothing but BS or SMTV, variety programming 22-03.

From FB circa 19 UT Oct 4: ``It's been very slow-going in the antenna
field today. Trucks are getting stuck in the mud, and we have to buy
special tires to get them back into the field. We will probably not
have any more frequencies back on the air today (Tuesday), but
hopefully by tomorrow. 5950 and 9395 are still on 24 hours, and our
Internet stream as well. Several of the programs on WRMI have done
interviews with us about the situation, and we appreciate them helping
to let the audience know what's going on. Today we did interviews in
English and Spanish for RAE Argentina to the world, and in English for
Radio Slovakia International. Thanks to our hard-working staff,
including Pat Travers, Don Frish and Scott Marcy who have been working
in the field today`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 4 at 0628, RV is S5/S7, strange-sounding voices
like in a cartoon, distorted. Ivo Ivanov and Gary Pence confirm usual
switch at 0659 to 3945/7890/11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
