** CUBA. 13780 S5/S6 JBA, 11760 S8/S9 undermod Spanish, and 15230 dead
air, Oct 1 at 1451-1452, RHC where something`s always wrong (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15245.0, Oct 1 at 1514, CRI in English, S5/S6 with
Doppler flutter, but the best signal on band, i.e. Kashgar for WEu
this hour only. If you hear a signal around 15245.244, as I measured
it May 31, it`s North Korea, long hours for Europe, supposedly also
with English this hour, but no sign of it now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ESWATINI. 9585, Wed Oct 1 at 1454, TWR tinkling IS S5/S6, Eswátini
ID, 1455 music and language, listed as Malagasy on M-F, French on S/S.
Probably long-path across Indian & Pacific Oceans (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FRANCE. 17545, Oct 1 at 1512, JBA carrier direct; at 1519 into
Maryland SDR, S5/S7 marine weather in English for Mini-TransAt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Don Moore in Illinois reported this to the MARE Tipsheet
in September: ``On Wednesday morning I took the mobile DX shack to the
Old School Forest Preserve in Libertyville, about a half-hour north of
where I'm staying in Skokie. There is a picnic shelter there with no
power lines within 250 meters so it is very quiet. I primarily wanted
to check for the Oklahoma and Missouri secure net tests, which had
been posted to UDXF. The Oklahoma net operates at 0900 a.m. local time
and the Missouri one at 0930 a.m. local time. Primary frequency is
5140 with 7477 as the main alternate. Per the anmt, the Missouri net
is only on the first and third Wednesdays of the month.``

So on the first Wednesday of October, Oct 1 I am tuned to 5140 USB
just before 1400 UT. I do hear a number of checkins, but most JBA. All
callsigns start with W plus 3 letters and 3 numbers. Generally given
with fonetix, but poor reception and swiftness make them hard to copy
accurately. First one has a good signal, WQBY?-something in Beckham
County, such as Sayre near the TX panhandle border. Some YL voices,
and first names mentioned such as Bill, as they apparently know each
other. Fragments I could copy: Pottawatomie, county which is SE of
OKC. 3921. WNCH624 Tulsa. WNBE830. Any additional checkins for
Oklahoma Operational ----? At 1410, WQYK443, WPFY---, Ernie. Nothing
heard after 1415 so I quit at 1417. At 1430 I have a JBA signal,
presumably the Missouri net starting. Don has a lot more info about
that, link to a 417-page pdf, slightly outdated from 2014y including
around page 375:

https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/4319/CBM/3591786/complete_emergency_operations_plan.pdf

APPENDIX 3
AUTHORIZED RACES FREQUENCY LIST DURING WARTIME EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
In the event of an emergency that necessitates the invoking of the
President’s War Emergency Powers under the provision of Section 706 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, only RACES stations and
amateur stations participating in RACES may transmit on the following
frequencies:``

All conceivable local, county, state and federal military and
non-military agencies seem to be involved. I would sure like to get a
current equivalent for OK.

On UDXF, here`s an old log from Jack L. Metcalfe:
``5140.0 WPFY721, Oklahoma Emergency Management Agency EOC at the
National Guard Armory, Seminole, OK as net control in a very, very
weak weekly roll call. Stations heard, but just above the noise floor:
1401 UTC in USB voice (26/MAR/2014) (JLM)`` That was the 4th Wednesday
of the month (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** POLAND [non]. 17790, Oct 1 at 2159, WRMI VG direct and // 15770 in
gospelhuxter. 2200 they split, 15770 into Taiwan in Spanish, and 17790
again with Polish Radio External Service as sked on WRN. WRMI xmtr
sked shows 17790 off after 2200, but System E WRN shows that hour on
17790 as well as 5050, 5950 and 7570, all of which are really OFF when
checked into Georgia remote at 2223, while the hour-long PRES English
still goes past 2233 on 17790, so is this an error or not? Anyhow this
is much more listenable than Spain`s weekly English at clashing time
due to fading and accent. 

2204 news of a new refund/recycling program for containers, bottles of
plastic, metal or glass with specifications; French climber of tallest
building in Warsaw, Europe? 310 meters, charged for doing it without
safety equipment, may get a year in jail - not much climbing there, I
suppose. 2205 ID and News from Poland to continue another 15
minutes.  

Commenting on my previous PRES 17790 log, Uncle Bill Tilford says,
``Polish Radio, which I mention in my next Shortwave Program Spotlight
{NASWA Journal}, deserves to be triaged in any WRN relays via WRMI.
The nuances of Polish relations with Germany, Ukraine, Belarus and
NATO generally are as intricate as they are sobering, and the station
captures all that better than western media.``

Other PRES times on WRN N American stream, and maybe also on SW via
some WRMI: daily 0300-0400, 0700-0800, 1800-1900 (Glenn Hauser,  OK,
WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Oct 1 at 0626 UT, DDP, 2000-watt NDB at
San Juan/Dorado, Luis Muñoz Marín Intl airport, the only Caribeacon I
ever hear - but not for a long time, last logged March 7; are there
any others still active? Enhanced southerly prop, and local noise
level low enough (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715, Wed Oct 1 at 2159, REE S9+10 direct, weaker than
usual, and trace of 15390 only for weekly English from 2200. Still
Marilyn Quintana only, ``live at 12 pm``; due to accent and fading,
hard to copy clearly unlike Poland via WRMI 17790, q.v. She previews
something about 17 weeks, Cervantes, Lebanon correspondent. 2202.6
starting news of week, tRump & Gaza. Maybe I`ll listen to podcast
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 1 at 2158, no signal direct from VOT. Not
checked UTwente until 2253, maybe too late, yet locked onto 11785.011
until 2255* tho nothing but noise audible. Erroneous at Emirler?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28250 CW, Oct 1 at 2210, slow beacon, READ BIBLE .-.-- DE
KI6MTV/B - I`ve hunted and hunted for that middle symbol in Wikipedia
and can`t find it: what`s it? Possibly combo of two letters not
noticing a pause, like: RM or AW?

WGB list: ``28250.0 KI6MTV/B - Shingle Springs CA USA CM98mq - #0 (06
Nov 2024) Note: ID only - Slow keying``

QRZ.com: ``KI6MTV USA flag USA, Michael R Hislop, PO BOX 121, SHINGLE
SPRINGS, CA 95682, USA --- Hey, if you hear my beacon, (28.250 mhz)
send me a message. I would like to hear from you. Don't forget to tell
me the location where you heard the beacon. Thanks, Mike`` Shingle
Springs is east of Sacramento on US 50 on the way to Placerville
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2314 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
September 30 from 2331.4 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003, VP S7/S9
into UTwente.

marking autumnal equinox to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK
73702.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 13605, 11930, 11860, Oct 1 at 1450 past 1500, NO
signals from R. Martí/LV del Trumpismo - probably due to US government
shutdown. Had been reliably on daily tho still abbreviated schedule.
11930, 9565, 7335, evening frequencies also absent at 2354; altho a
JBA signal on 7335, presumably CNR2 from Baoji site as in Aoki (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, Oct 1 at 1513, WMLK still missing; and after 2200
still missing from 17525 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5286 USB, Oct 1 at 1355, some traffic net with abbr`d
callsigns like 8BS, most others JBA in S8 HNL. What`s this? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28400 USB, Sept 30 at 2203, PU2OPR calling CQ. QRZ.com:
``PU2OPR Brazil flag Brazil, Jose Jacinto de oliveira, Rua Afonso
Martos Filho, 294, Jd. Itamaraty, OURINHOS, SP 19904250, Brazil``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 30 at 0510, RHC dead air or JBM? into ATS-909
portable. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, Sept 30 at 1454, S7/S8 of JBM RHC Spanish; even weaker
JBA on 11760 maybe //. 15230 with S7/9+5 of dead air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, Sept 30 at 2159, RHC in Spanish, S9+10/20
undermodulated; at 2210, 15230 is S9/+10 of deadair and 13780 S9+20
undermod. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17545, Tue Sept 30 at 1511, Issoudun with Mini Trans-At
yacht race weather info, S3/S6 into Azores SDR but quite sufficient.
YL in French with spoken rather than faxed weather maps. I can`t
imagine how contestants could make any sense of this as their boats
rock around. They are supposed to copy all this data and draw their
own maps? Direxions N/E/W/S are obvious in coordinates, but every time
she clarifies the letter with November, EEcho, Whisky, or Sierra. 1514
switches to English, with forecasts at least into Thursday. 1528
closing, ``happy birthday`` to whom? and song. 1528 French and English
talking about a Portuguese song, ``à demain``. But songs with heavy
beat keep playing for a semihour until abrupt chop at 1557*. 

Unclear to me status of race which had been suspended due to
hurricane. Anyhow the wx broadcasts continue. Previous few days others
reported the broadcasts lasted only a few minutes from 1500. All the
info here:
https://www.minitransat.fr/
Evidently after a 9-day delay, restarted Sept 29 from Portugal bound
for Canaries (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 12025, Sept 30 at 2213, no signal of R. Farda via
Woofferton. For the record: other reports of it being canceled earlier
in Sept (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9765, Sept 30 at 2215, S9+20 poorsig in Portuguese
referring to a versículo, so a gospel huxter. Yes, MWV sked this hour,
*much* weaker than SimulArabic on 11610 thisaway by coincidence. Was
down for a day or two due to disturbances in the country (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Sept 30 at 2217, pirate music poor S9+10,
Thunder Chicken reported here from 2037 altho not quite this late:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,151059.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PARAGUAY. 28410 USB, Sept 30 at 2202, ZP9HTL working US stations in
English. Only  a couple other phonesigs audible on 10m, see BRAZIL.
QRZ.com: ``ZP9HTL Paraguay flag Paraguay, Juan José "JJ" Rios
Maciel, km9 Acaray, Ciudad del este, Paraguay`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715, Sept 30 at 2157, REE S9/+10, VP and noisy direct,
rather than usual bigsig, and 15390 JBA, still no 15500 & 15520;
propagation disturbed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004, Sept 30 at 2158, VOT not off the air, but IS VP
S9/+10 direct. At 2250 into UTwente when measured, VP noisy S7/S9 with
music. 2254 s/off, 2255 IS, off by 2255.5*: rarely so horrible into
UTwente, propagation degraded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2314 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday September 30 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+15/30 into S Texas SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 30 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S5/S7 JBA
direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 30 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S5/S6 JBA
direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 30 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,

** U S A. 17790 S9+30 and unusually // 15770 S9+20, Tue Sept 30 at
2157, WRMI closing ``God Is Just A Prayer Away`` gospel huxter from
Lynchburg OH. By next check 2208, 17790 is off, no PRES Poland via WRN
like yesterday, and 15770 in usual Taiwan Spanish. GIJAPA is on System
F redsked supposedly on 15770 only, Tue only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, Sept 30 at 1450, no signal from WMLK, just as there
was no 17525 yesterday afternoon. And again Sept 30 at 2158, 17525
off. Something`s botched at Bethel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15460, Sept 30 at 1451, drumming and other music, S7/S9
the SSOB. Nothing listed in Aoki, EiBi or latest HFCC Sept 28, just
Reach Beyond Australia at 1200-1400 only, in complex sked of S Asian
languages in quarter-hour blox depending on day of week. This signal
does reek of RBA anyway with TE advantage, high K-index of 5 and 2/3
at 1500.

Still going at 1630 as David Ross asks me about it - at 1635 playing
`Somewhere/Someday` from W Side Story, instrumental, then jazz. I
check remotes in India and Thailand, which are *not* getting it.

At 1648, UTwente has S7 in noise on 15460.013+.

Then I try TDOA, but only get two running, Brazil and South Africa,
who declare at 1654, ``most likely`` FWIW not much, 39.50/75.00, i.e.
somewhere in central Asia, like Kashgar? Off at 1700*, no
announcements ever heard.

It came back on after 1800, again nothing but music, mostly jazz?,
until 1901*. Others hearing it, suggest from inside USA, like a
Greenville test (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
