** COLOMBIA [non]. 4940, Oct 14 at 0627, zero signal from mysterious
Maicao gospel huxter, I haven`t bothered to relog in ages, but always
had been at least detectable overnight. Propagation OK, as 4885 Brasil
is S9! Lacking a specific ID, 4940 referred to as Fuerza de Paz or
Montana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145, Oct 14 at 0622, RHC English S9+20/30, VG in Palestine
discussion, wrong frequency again instead of 6165 probably all evening
since *0000v. Now also 6060 S9/+10 direct and no buzz; 5040 also still
on in English, but not 6000 nor 6100. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 5890, Oct 14 at 0625, pulse jamming vs weakened JBA
Brother Scare on WWCR. I vaguely recall that R. Martí may have been on
this frequency years ago, or VOA Spanish? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 11984.928, Oct 14 at 1443, VP talk but glaringly
off-frequency. I figure it will be Saipan or Tinian, but Aoki shows
Biblis until 1500, VOA Kurdish. After 1500, however, it`s RFA Korean
via Saipan. Does not speak well for USAGM engineering. Their
transmitters need a `fine-tuning` adjustment, like receivers; and
people to pay attention to it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Oct 14 at 1439, Dengê Welat with chanting,
talk, S8-S5 with heavy flutter. Per Aoki it`s now via PRIDNESTROVYE,
switching to France at 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 13 at 1511, another Wednesday
emission tuned in progress from LRA36, fair S4-S6 via Brasil SDR,
music; 1518 ``sign-off`` and Antártida song; but 1523 more music
follows immediately; 1535 ``sign-on`` with multi-lingual ID including
English that this is in Spanish, historical talk; 1537 Antártida song
which starts with guitar, then vocal; 1540 bit of hielo song; 1550 a
martial song; 1610 Esperanza ID; 1615 hielo song and more music; 1627
`La Radio Pública - Nacional`` ID, more music until chopped off at
1644*. Tuning down in USB, I can tell this time the reduced carrier is
also gone. So back on today after missing last Saturday Oct 9 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.108V, Oct 13 at 600, RVM music at S3-S5; has been
steadily drifting upward, now exceeding 1 kHz above nominal, measured
here and wobbling slightly. Is the only ZY audible overnight on 31m
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Oct 13 at 1821, S9 but JBM sounds like choking Arabic
as scheduled. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 13 at 2200, REE English to N America on Wed: no
signal but only have portable with clipon handy; nor the other three
frequencies. UTwente check at 2245 when French is on, 11670 VG by far,
15520 and even 17855 also barely audible over full-night path, but no
signal on 11940, which must be OFF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 13 at 2228, no signal direct from VOT English too
N America; recheck via UTwente at 2244 before usual closing, no signal
either. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 9330, re the registered antennas for the WBCQ SuperStition:
Wolfgang Bueschel explains that #805 is the same type listed for all
the other WBCQ ``classic`` frequencies, horizontal log periodic. I say
certainly this does not really apply to the 250 kW transmitter on
9330. Possibly a backup lower-power transmitter on 9330 would be such,
but not registered. #216, listed for most but not all 9330
transmissions is: Curtain antenna, half-wave dipole array --- and in
this case also rotatable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Intense tropo blob up to Level 7 per Hepburn`s maps,
across central OK into KS, but Enid as usual on the edge, as of 15 UT
Oct 13, so I bandscan at 1513: almost all the `open` UHF DX channels
have a Bad signal, but none of them enough to decode into my
OKC-directed channel 7+ antenna: RF 12, 14, 20, 21, 22, 26, 31, 34,
35, 36 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2309 UT October 13

** CUBA. 11880, Oct 12 at 2302, NO signal from RHC English; also off
in Spanish: 11850 and its 11840/11860 parasites: something`s always
wrong at RHC. But on are: 11760 with humbuzz, 11670; and 11980 JBA
probably 2 x 5990 CRI English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Oct 13 at 0142, RHC English with thin-voiced YL, wrong
frequency instead of 6000; and also JBA on 2X = 11980; // 6165 on
right frequency instead of 6145. Thus of the two NAm English channels
at 00-05, you never know which two of four frequencies will be in use.
Something`s something`s always always wrong wrong at at RHC RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Oct 13 at 0143, RHC Spanish is S9/+10 but suptorted,
rather than completely off 2 hours and 41 minutes earlier. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 11860, Wed Oct 12 on caradio, nothing but choral music
on R. Martí, various chex during the 17-18 UT hour, no jamming heard.
unseems sacred, but program sked shows for this date and time:
https://www.radiotelevisionmarti.com/radio/schedule/4
easily reached via Alan Roe`s WORLD OF RADIO Hitlist:
``13:00 - 14:00 [EDT] La Santa Misa
PROGRAMACIÓN EN-VIVO DESDE LA ERMITA DE LA CARIDAD``, i.e. the Shrine
of Our Lady of Charity, in, where else, Miami, thus violating
Separation of Church and State. Tripadvisor explains: ``es un templo
católico de la Arquidiócesis de Miami dedicado a Nuestra Señora de la
Caridad, Patrona de Cuba, ubicado en Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Oct 12 at 1505, JBA carrier direct, 1508 late
tune-in via UTwente SDR to another weekly Kashmir Citivas, from IRRS,
worse than usual, not solid, only S9-S6 --- and it`s completely in
English! about legacy of British colonialism, atop usual strumming. I
notify the WOR iog but it`s too late, 1511 switch back to Urdu talk.
No Western music fill this week, chopped off at 1529* but not before
we hear the last two notes of the RRI IS, pause, and then the first
note, before gone; tantalizing those who guessed this via Bulgaria?
Instead of ROMANIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MARTINIQUE. 18133.4-USB correct FM4LV frequency in last report, not
typo 18134.4 (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 12 at 2301 and 11940 at 2312, zero signals from
the two REE frequencies scheduled to run past 2305 weekdays: maybe the
geomag storm have delayedly hit, outwiping such prop. At 2100, K-index
was 3 with moderate space weather = G2-level storms preceding and
predicting. By 2400, same except no more predicted (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 9330, Oct 12 at 0252, WBCQ World`s Last Chance is on again,
VG S9+20/30, Canadian-accented interviewer with someone about
Antarctica; anti-Rothschild, anti-elite. Wondering if some other
far-right political show? Not your usual pontificating. Oh2: Then
country song so wacko it could be taken as a parody on any other
station, like: there was never a man on the moon, it was made-for-tv;
stars and moon are not that far away, all we have is under a dome;
there are no satellites, no matter how upwards dishes are aimed, they
are really picking up terrestrial signals, from this Flat Earth;
partly paraphrased.

9330 is now much stronger than its nearest neighbor SW station, 9265
WINB; but way above other WBCQs: 7490v JBA, 6160v TOMBS. 0259 a few
notes of the menacing WLCR theme before cutoff the air. If I happened
to tune in now, I would have concluded it`s still AWOL. Cut back on
the air at *0300.7 with legal ID by AW, and then YL WLC ID also as on
WBCQ, more English. Presumably had to break for antenna rotation, but
no difference here before/after signal levels. HFCC shows at 0300 it
goes from 245 to 270 degrees, but also changes antenna designator from
805 to 216, huh? Both as only 250 kW. Surely it`s the exact same
Ampegon rotatable, but HFCC references:
805 LPH18/36.5/32.2/16.7/1.4/13.2/200
216 AHR(S)4/4/0.5
Maybe someone can explain that? From log periodic to rhombic? HFCC
provides no key or explanation to its lengthy antenna reference table
included in the zips with schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Oct 12 at 2256, WRMI with rock is S9+20/30, despite
alleged SSE angle, strong enough to audiblize plus/minus 5 kHz
parasitic spurs --- but none detected now: problem fixed, or
intermittent; or differing transmitter units and/or antennas subject
to those? The messy modulation from TOMBS elsewhen could also be
responsible, not from that now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 12 at 0324, VP signal in presumed Hindi from
presumed WRNO as nothing else is scheduled in A-21; usually much
stronger when on, but at that awkward 1-megameter distance; and was
missing last night just after 0100. It`s hard to believe this
transpolar signal accomplish any significant service to India at
8:45-9:30 am IST (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6932?-USB?, Oct 12 at 2259, pirate music I can`t get to
resolve in LSB or USB, stepping up and down 1 kHz; and then gone.
Maybe the problem be the unrecognizable music. Not very, but the
closest log to this in HFU is unID on 6933 earlier:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,87648.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15833-USB, Oct 12 at 2303, 2-way in Spanish discussing
putas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0323 UT October 13

** CUBA. 13637 & 13763 approx., Oct 11 at 1414, FMish weak S3
spurblobs from S9+10 RHC 13700-AM, plus/minus ~63 kHz. With signature
F# above Cmiddle tones. Welcome back! Despite almost daily morningly
bandscans, nonesuch noted for months. Last time a search hits on
``spurblob 13700`` was my report of July 19 & 16. I knew they could do
it! Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Oct 11 at 2218, S8-S9 of dead air from RHC, where
something`s always wrong; while 15370 in Spanish is S9+10/20 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MARTINIQUE. 18134.4-USB, Oct 11 at 2214, FM4LV keeps repeating ID
only with different fonetix, as if in some contest; see UNIDENTIFIED.
So no doubt about it except whether it`s really the caller or the
callee. No replies heard. His qrz.com reveals no details beyond name
and QSL only via a W3 manager, not even Where in MQ: ``FM4LV
Martinique flag Martinique, Gérard LUCE``; but does illustrate his
nice QSL of six ladies in elaborate costumes:
https://cdn-bio.qrz.com/v/fm4lv/FM4LV.jpg
Now no need to jump thru hoops to get one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PANAMA. 18133.2-USB, Oct 11 at 2204, HP3SS discussing remote
control setups so others from abroad can operate from his QTH in
Panamá; sounds like an American. QRZ.com info: ``HP3SS Panama flag
Panama, Robby Robertson, Volcán, Panamá. I have been living in Panama
since October 2015. I operated as HP3/VY2SS for almost year while I
waited for my Panama call. It doesn't normally take that long. I live
in Volcan, Chiriquí Province. I am at 4550 ft ASL. Temp is always 23C
and I like it here. I enjoy contesting and DX`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 12030.055V, Oct 11 at 0627 French talk, JBA
yet the SSOB. Is low latitude propagation from VOA Pinheira relay,
French 0600-0629 daily. This site often significantly off-frequency,
does not speak well for USAGM engineering. V indicates it`s also
audibly wavering, while a small v would merely indicate varies but
steady at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Oct 11 at 2200, token English from REE says main
topic will be part 2 about US/Spain relations in Cold War, including
the SAC bombing incident. Geomag disturbance predicted not hit yet as
this holds up well S8-S9, also audible backwards on 15520 but 11940
blocked by wideband FMish splash maybe local (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2107 monitoring: confirmed Sunday

while these remain VG: 9265 WINB, 9395 & 9455 & 9955 WRMI. 9330 still
gone at 2223 Oct 11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), Oct 11 at 2330 after semi-UBMP repeat, WBCQ
webcast plays national spot commercial for McDonalds` Breakfasts, then
immediately `Camp Constitution Radio` on an anti-vax rant which he
expects will get him banned from You Tube. Does McD corporate know
what it is really sponsoring here? Assuming CCR set this up, the price
for a single spot in terms of domestic radio could well pay for the
entire semihour program`s SW airtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 11 at 0105, again no signal from WRNO (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 18157-USB, Oct 10 at 2213, pileup after a DX station. US
hams keep blasting their own calls and nothing else time and again
over each other. I withhold IDing them. Once in the mess, I
tentatively hear a weak HC2+ call from Ecuador, maybe the target. This
is fun? Another pileup on 18160-USB. The F2 MUF was way up with lots
of 28 MHz TA contacts NAm/Europe blacklined on DX Map but nothing much
here, not even 10m beacons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. See MARTINIQUE, PANAMA. Higher in the 18 MHz band,
pileups as there must be some kind of contest, maybe not DX, mostly US
& Canadians repeating their calls over and over, apparently hoping
someone will reply without even saying CQ or QRZ --- that would gobble
up valuable milliseconds. From about 18154 to 18165, October 11 at
2210-2215, stations spaced at fraxion of kHz intervals, making for not
only CCI but lots of adjacent SSB QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
