** HONG KONG [non]. 9400, Sept 10 at 1349, Chinese and English
alternating, ACI to 9395 WRMI. EiBi shows: ``9400 1100-1400 HKG FEBC
Radio Liangyou 1 M FE /PHL-i`` i = Iba, Zambales transmitter site.
HFCC shows 100 kW at 330 degrees; from bigsig I suspected more like 20
degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. Simon Frech informs our WOR iogroup Sept 10: ``I wrote to
english@rtve.es yesterday and received an email from Marilyn Quintana
this morning.

"Starting today we'll go live at 10am UTC on Wednesdays through
satellite and on the Internet. This will be an hour-long program and
it will be rebroadcast on the same day at 10pm UTC through
shortwave.”

The almost 56 minute program with a lot of news is online at``
https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/english-language-broadcast/

Will they resume 15500 for N America and 15520 for ME, missing for
weeks? Or only on 17715 for S America, 15390 for Africa? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2311 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio:
JRC NRD-535 HF (30 years of service), Antenna: random long wires in
the trees. 
WRMI, World of Radio (#2311):
9455 kHz, S6 signal heard, 2330, very weak hard to hear program, 2358,
September 7 UTC 2025 [Sun]
9395 kHz, 2330 (S5) signal, QSB fading bad, 2359, September 9 UTC 2025

Confirmed Wednesday September 10 at 1931 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.000+ S9/+10 with RTTyditty on plus side, & 3975.001+ S8/9.5 into

** U S A. 9955, Tue Sept 10 at 1300, WRMI-3 with `Antena DX` in
Spanish, so now it is playing System C, and not // 9395 in English,
presumably WRN relay System E; unlike 24h ago when 9955 was also on
System E disavailablizing WOR and also not at 1400. So I guess that
were anomalous (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 780, Sept 10 at 0641 UT, WBBM with no Stardate but timechex
are 2 to 3 minutes fast! So probably ran at 1:40 am WBBM time = 0637
or 0638 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** AUSTRALIA. 28460 USB, Sept 9 at 2323, working stations in Florida,
California, but does not phoneticize his own call. At first I think
it`s VK2AC, or -AT? Or is it VK2OC, or -OT? At least he spells his
name, MIKE. Says he`s 600 km N of Sydney, likes country life. So the
only fit in QRZ.com is: ``VK2OT Australia flag Australia, Michael
Rautenberg, 1247 Firth Heinz Road, Pillar Valley N.S.W 2462,
Australia`` and his profile says he`s 600 km N of Sydney! Neat to be
getting Australia and Brasil at same time on 10m (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28400 USB, Sept 9 at 2321, PU2OPR, calling CQ. Takes
several passes to copy his fonetix. Per QRZ.com: ``PU2OPR Brazil flag
Brazil, José Jacinto de Oliveira, Rua Afonso Martos Filho, 294, Jd.
Itamaraty, OURINHOS, SP 19904250, Brazil`` Neat to be getting Brasil
and Australia at same time on 10m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Wed Sept 10 at 0150-0152 into Knoxville SDR,
RNA/RNB token English, S9/+15, still repeating bit about the Parque
Rodeador SW transmitter and how beneficial RNA is to the remote
Amazon. Come on! You will never hear even a headline about what`s
really going on in Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28196+ CW, Sept 9 at 2315, EEEE DE VE7MTY/B, VG signal and
nice slow sending; heard before but not for quite a while. WGB list:
``28197.0 VE7MTY/B - Pitt Meadows BC CAN CN89pf - #0 (22 Mar 2024)
Note: ID + grid - HTX-100 Antron 99 pwr 25w``

QRZ.com: ``VE7MTY Canada flag Canada, Martin W Hill, 19696 115A
AVENUE, PITT MEADOWS, BC V3Y 1P1, Canada --- I have been operating a
ten meter beacon since 1995 on 28.197 MHz running 25 watts. It
operates 24/7. The callsign is VE7MTY/B. The beacon uses a HTX-100
transceiver, an Antron 99 vertical antenna and a Freakin Beacon keyer.
At the end of the CW message, it steps through four, 1 second power
levels. 25 - 10 - 2 - 0.5 watts`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sept 9 at 1947, RHC English is off already, no signal
direct or into remotes which were easily getting it from 1903. Should
have lasted an hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Sept 9 at 2332, no RHC frequencies on but absolutely
pointless CRI `Portuguese` relay of fill music instead for years, but
now S9+20/30 of only dead air!, except for occasional bits of
modulation spikes.

5990, Sept 9 at 2339, another failed CRI relay frequency, S9+20/30,
maybe a trace of modulation in the deadair. Somethings always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715 & 15390, Sept 10 at 2202, REE still on these unEnglish
frequencies only. Someone suggested that 15500 & 15520 transmitters be
OK, just closed down to save expenses. Hour by hour schedule for Wed
Sept 10 still claims English at 1004 & 2200 as converted to UT - but
no show last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.003, Sept 9 at 2159, into UTwente, a weak
S8/S7 carrier cuts on and off several times, stays off, so no VOT
English: something`s always erroneous at Emirler; but at 2232 recheck
when measured on 11785.009, multi-lingual ID filler reel, music. 2238
Efsun with a feature, Buffet in title? story behind everyday
something. I can`t understand her mostly; something about significance
of healing waters? Music. Alan Roe`s program sked shows on Tuesdays:
``The First Quarter of the Millennium (~5 mins)* Oddly Enough (~ 5
mins)* Unscripted Twists of Fate (~6 mins)+`` See:

https://app.box.com/s/kbdxb4c5lwpju0kpoi27aiwc35br2g2a/file/1955012121057

2253 s/off as if 1230 on 17620, awry at Ankara. If you tire of my
reporting that, I tire of hearing that absolutely wrong info! 2255 IS,
2256 pause and restart IS with German IDs. 2300 timesignal and German
s/on, still past 2303. Direct: recheck at 2314, still on in German
with flutter, S9/+10. And still on at 2333. Back to UTwente at 2347,
still on in German. Off by next check 0020, instead Chinese i.e. CNR2,
and almost 11785.000. Hey, EiBi: you have VOT on 11780 instead of
11785, which was a mistake happening only once, several months ago
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28269 CW, Sept 9 at 2318, AA1TT/B. WGB list: ``28269.0
AA1TT/B- Claremont NH USA FN33ur - #0 (02 Mar 2025) Note: ID + grid +
EEE - Pwr 5w`` QRZ.com: ``AA1TT USA flag USA, BILLY R MICHAUD, 153A
CAT HOLE ROAD, CLAREMONT, NH 03743-4321, USA - If you would like
beacon information  (28.269), or would like to give a reception
report, (Reports are greatly appreciated, both sky wave & ground wave)
Please check: http://www.wx1nh.us (Links on the left) (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2311 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
September 9 at 1956 on 1322.994, S8 IRRS SW via AM Italia -- what?
already? Yes, at Mongolia item which is about 18 minutes into, so must
have started, by mistake? about 1938. Cut off at 2000 for ID, and
restart from beginning at proper time.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 9 at 2348 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
3975.001+, S8/+10 with het from 3976, evitable by LSB tuning.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday September 10 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S7/9+10
into Knoxville SDR. Next:

1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
2330 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

not necessarily, via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com

One may also contribute via money order or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9917.2 & 9942.8, Sept 9 at 2313 direct, WTWW during TOMBS`
moanin` & groanin`, parasitic spur carriers clearly audible but never
any modulation on them. By 2336, there is splash/splatter all the way
roughly between 9850 & 10080. While they trail off at the edges, the
severity varies within the total span. Something`s lax at Lebanon. 

BTW, altho we know the only Lebanon with a SW station is in TN, there
are some *42* others, so like so many USA towns, foreigners *must*
specify the state. ``Lebanon, USA`` is meaningless. See:
https://lebanonusa.com/

``Welcome to Lebanon, USA -- Hello, My name is Fadi BouKaram and I’m a
Lebanese photographer. I’m taking a five-month road trip across the
U.S., discovering and photographing all the country’s Lebanons. For
some reason, America has so many cities and towns called Lebanon. Just
look at the map. Each dot represents one. I found out about this by
accident…``

Logs
** CANADA. 6754 USB, Sept 9 at 0622, Trenton Military, ID with time as
`0620 zulu``, only 2 minutes slow! Random tuneacrossing has yet to hit
any ``no report received``s here nor on 15034 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, 15140, 13780, 11760, Sept 8 at 2214, zero signals from
RHC. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 9 at 1441, S6/S8 of dead air from RHC; but
modulating music and Spanish at 1445 on 13780 S7/S8 and 11760 S7/S9.
SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sept 9 at 1855, RHC on this only, music and presumed
Creole as scheduled, past 1900; 1902 IS and 1903 finally opening
English. S9+10 or so but with continuous squeal, like wind blowing, on
three different remotes in GA, TN, and direct, so therefore a
transmission or QRM problem, not a reception problem (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Sept 8 at 2221 UT, KCRC Enid back on with sports
talk, but interrupted by NWS severe T-storm warning for Alfalfa County
(less than a semihour later, major network news on KWTV, KOCO, KFOR
all interrupted for continuous tornado warnings, with storm chasers on
the scene) (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.5, Sept 8 about 2015 UT, very low power pirate with
pop music sounding mono but $ tereo pilot on, audible only for a few
blox around S Cleveland intersexion with W OK Garriott in Enid (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715 >> 15390, Mon Sept 8 at 2213, REE remains active on
only 2 of its 4 transmitters, and of course in Spanish, no English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004, Sept 8 at 2213, VOT not off the air, music, S9
direct but insuff vs noise level. 2252 into UTwente when measured,
S9+50 music; 2253 s/off as if 17620 at 1230, awry at Ankara; 2254 IS
barely played once until chopped, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8992 USB, Sept 9 at 1447, US military crypto exercise, with
considerable background noise, which I think be deliberate to make it
harder to copy accurately, as I cannot, nor understand the closing ID
``this is ---, out`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2311 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday September 9 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/20 into S Texas
remote.

NOT confirmed Tuesday September 9 and 1300 or 1400 on WRMI 9955, as
still on the System C schedule: instead, WRN: before 1300 it`s KBS
World Radio, after 1300 RTE Ireland, complete with commercials such as
for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, klm.ie; and 1400 NHK World Radio Japan.
WRN is supposedly only on 9395 at 13-14 per System E sked as heard //
9955; and 14-15 on 9395 and unchecked 7730. I`ve asked Jeff whether
this be a deliberate, permanent change? Next:

2000 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 and/or 918;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Sept 8 at 2224, WBCQ WLCR finally back on air, S9+30
in Portuguese. Had not been heard since Aug 29. Bigsig in PP here
suggests not aiming at Brasil, when normally weaker here off the side
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, Sept 8 at 2225, WTWW is S9+50/60 with splash all over
above 9845, roughly up to 9952 and more 9970-9993. At least WRMI and
WWV are escaping it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13563, Sept 9 at 1443, occasional brief carrier blips
and sweep, but no HIFER beacon IDs. It`s many months since I have

From now and for an unknown time, at least for 3years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs for DXing. Recently wemoved from the village back to the city in a space that prohibits the use ofdesktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise in the LMHF bands. Theradio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we run politically livelycondition with always very interesting twits every day ..

** CUBA. 15140, Sept 7 at 2056 into Knoxville SDR, RHC already off;
had been on for English at 1930 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710 S9, 6000 S9+25, 11760 S9+5, Sept 8 at 0636 all these
RHCs are still on very late but with dead air! Somethings always wrong
at RHC. Also earlier per Walt Salmaniw, BC: ``Tonight (UTC Monday)
just an empty carrier on 6000 and 9710, and a buzzy transmitter
without any modulation on 11760 (at 0420). Walt`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 8 at 1406, RHC S5/S6 of dead air; but at
1407/1408, Spanish and music on 13780 S6/S9 and 11760 S8/9+5. No
signal on 15140. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** GERMANY. Sept 9 at 19-20 UT: ``Sent: Sunday, September 7, 2025 at
05:30:10 PM UTC --
Subject: "Night Air" - live from Bergen - Norway. Testing the day
after tomorrow. Hi Glenn,
there will be a live test-transmission on Tuesday (European) time from
21:00 CET to 22:00 CET. In case this is successful, there will be
about two months of live transmissions from Norway via SWR on 3975 and
6160 kHz daily. Of course this affects one or two outlets of WOR. I
will contact you later.

This Event from Bergen is an Art-Festival: 
https://en.bergenassembly.no/2025
Site will be updated soon, as they are having to concentrate on the
starting session.
Please no QSL-requests. Just a report, you are listening. They do not
know about QSL's. Someone might teach them, though ;-). Our link so
far: 
https://shortwaveradio.de/en/%22Night%20Air%22%20from%20Bergen
73's Andy (ShortWave Radio, Winsen, on the river Aller, Germany)`` 

So the WOR broadcasts between 19 and 20 UT that would be lost are:
Monday & Wednesday at 1930 (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1570, UT Mon Sept 8 at 0448, XERF with ``Coahuila en La
Hora Nacional``, i.e. breakaway from national feed for second half of
weekly show - which I am not easily hearing on any of the other major
Mex `clears`: 540, 730, 900, 940, 990, 1050, 1140, 1220. At 0501, XERF
outroduces that, then choral NA, which again I am not hearing on any
other frequency; 0503 followed by Coahuila anthem with M soloist,
orchestra. 0505 ID as `La Poderosa, 1570, cien mil watts, y XHRF
103.9, 4 mil watts, plus address, phones, ``IMER, somos radio
pública``. 0507 ``La Hora de las Complacencias``, YL DJ inviting
record requests, ``buenos días`` now lunes. So must be observing CDT
as a border station, rather than HCM. While better than the others,
I`m not convinced XERF is really running 100 kW.

Here`s the Coahuila state song:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Sept 8 at 0447 UT, local KCRC Enid is OFF!
Substation 1640 KZLS is still on with stupid sportstalk. Yeah, who
needs KCRC? Identical programming on two local AM stations, what a
waste. And KZLS has greater coverage. See U S A for what else I could
hear on 1390. Still off at 1413, 1633 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004-, Sun Sept 7 at 2205, VOT English not off the air
for a change, S9+20/30 into UTwente. Already got `Letterbox` on 1830

** U S A. WTWW 5085: George McClintock informs me UT Sept 8 at 0100,
latest problem is that a 40 or 45-year-old high-voltage relay has
failed, and a new one costs $ 20K; looking for one on EBay. Maybe back
on air by UT Saturday 0300 WOR time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9865+, Sept 8 at 1410, splash from 9930 WTWW with TOMBS at
S9+20/30, audible down to here but not so much on the upper side
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re Sept 7 log of 1160 KCTO Cleveland MO, transmitter site
right on the KS/MO state line, With a previous log of the 94.1
station, I had found: ``But searching finds the long. of Stateline
Road is 94°36′26.7″W``. Therefore, KCTO site at 94°36'28.80" W is in:
KANSAS! Now I wonder what the axual distance from the border be at
that latitude when it`s 2.1 seconds of longitude away? This is,
assuming that Stateline Road be precisely on the real border. In such
cases, FCC ought to be explicit about which state antennas are in, for
the benefit of DXers - ha (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) To which Eike
Bierwirth, AL, replies:

``Missouri. The four towers are located on a parcel owned by Alpine
Broadcasting Corp, owners of KCTO. That parcel is located east of the
state line and administrated by Cass County, Missouri. If the tax
assessor of a Missouri county knows it's in his realm, that's where it
is. Always follow the money.

For any piece of land in the US, you may find the public record
usually through the Tax Assessor's website of the county in which the
land is located. In this case, here:
https://cass.missouriassessors.com/parcel.php?gid=10900

which contains ownership information of Alpine Broadcasting Corp, two
photos and a sketch indicating four towers, which not only correspond
to what you see on Google Maps/Earth but also to the four towers
prescribed by the FCC license for KCTO (fccdata.org is your friend.)

There even is another parcel of land between the KCTO towers and the
state line, also with a tower on it. So not just a few feet. The tax
assessor reveals that that land is owned by Verizon, so that's got to
be a cell phone tower.

Even just putting the FCC coordinates into Google Earth could have
been enough to answer this question pretty clearly as you end up right
next to the four towers you're looking for (if you looked at the
license.) Eike`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1390, Sept 8 at 0447 UT, local KCRC Enid is OFF! See
OKLAHOMA. Now there`s a pileup of unID signals like most other
`regional` frequencies. At 0453 I make out some Spanish music. NRC AM
Log has about seven SS of various ilx, none very close except for KDQN
De Queen AR, but supposedly a 500-watt daytimer. IRCA Mexican log shows
two, the closer being 1/1 kW XEOR Reynosa with NWS/VAR format
including music.

1390, Sept 8 at 0455 UT, one signal slightly atop the others in
absence of KCRC, sports talk mentions Buffalo Bills, not // WSCR 670,
then mentions ESPN, better on E/W loop than N/S shortwire; just before
0500 ID: ``WTJF Jackson, Sports Radio 94 FM, 1390 AM`` plus some
others I couldn`t catch, maybe translators. So this is: WTJF Jackson
TN, U2 5/1 kW, net and slogan also check in NRC AM Log. Radio-locator
shows night pattern with a notch to the WNW but it`s due east from
here, while day pattern is ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 8 at
0427-0435, tuning upward in USB in 9-kHz steps 1 kHz below 9/kHz
channels, to hear a 1 kHz het: 684, 711, 1125, 1305, 1413?, 1422? Then
same in LSB 1 kHz above channels: 684, 855 with SAH of about 1 Hz,
1035?, 1107 SAH, 1125, 1305 SAH, to 0436. Sub-audible heterodyne
refers to regular fading between two carriers on slightly different
frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 773- kHz, Sept 8 at 0427, again carrier not fitting into
the 10 or 9/kHz frequencies, slightly stronger than any of those, and
very slightly on minus side. Maybe something localish, but wonder if
anyone else hear this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
