** BONAIRE [and non]. {re gh`s 800 PJB log:} I looked up some ITU
abbreviations. The PJB logging brought up a question about, let’s call
it taxonomy. Looks like there is a list of List of ITU Member States
https://is.gd/ITU_STATES
and a List of all geographical area designations
https://is.gd/ITU_GEO
So Bonaire, a “special municipality” of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands, gets two designations: HOL is the ITU code for the
Kingdom, and BES is the code for the group of special municipalities
in the Caribbean (Sint Eustatius and Saba being the other two). If
this sounds like the DXCC “entity” shenanigans that happens every few
years in amateur radio, you’re getting close. And in fact, in 2010,
these very islands changed their status and that was reflected in the
amateur radio realm. – Peter Laws, ON, DXWW ed. (IRCA DX Monitor Oct
12, published Oct 7) {BUT, WHY ``BES``? letters having nothing to do
with the islands, except maybe B for Bonaire --- gh} ``BES = B/onaire,
Sint E/ustatius and S/aba -- Richard Langley`` Oh! (Glenn Hauser, OK,

but no way without spelling it - or, way: see my 7275 report; well,
there are zoos. Halil host says after 12 years in Turkey, his
Malaysian wife`s visa has to be renewed every two years at
considerable expense, dual citizenship not allowed. 2) at 2229,

country`` and also high in Singapore where it`s much more stressful
than ``relax`` Malaysia. 3) at 2234, r.r. from Dymantis? in

at 2200 on 11785+, which it normally would be, since by 2221 The
Letterboxxe Programme had started! Something`s very erroneous at
Emirler. They are broadcasting something other than the last English
hour. By 0353 just in time I`ve tuned it via UTwente refining the
frequency to 7275.019, greater offset than usual and a different
transmitter as it`s also squealy, instead of English s/off at this
minute, the *different* IS they play for the Turkish language service,
interspersed with Turkish IDs, i.e. about to start at 0400. And at
0355 the choral national anthem is playing, which we never hear on the
external service == but it`s chopped off! a few sex later. Meanwhile I
switched to 6165 which is supposed to be // 7275 in English, but it`s
off already. Turkish from 0400 is supposed to be on 6040 & 9770,
unchecked as I only uplooked HFCC later. The anthem:

``İstiklâl Marşı is the national anthem of both the Republic of Turkey
and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Mehmet Akif Ersoy (20
December 1873 – 27 December 1936) was a Turkish poet, writer,

** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock informs me at 2315 UT Oct 7: The
Overcomer website has been hacked, and can`t get any program feed.
They will have to get outside help to restore it. Tried filling with
other programming, then turned 9930 off until it can resume. However
at my 2335 check looks normal and is playing:
https://overcomerministry.org/listen_live/
At 0151, TOMBS night channel 5920 is off, but the other one is on,
5085.

Says Bro. Scare had confessed his sins personally to George, so
respected him but can`t understand why so many love(d) him. Other
transmitter 9475 is OK - tho not on the air at 2330 check -- frequency
changing wasn`t working until some lubrication applied loosening
plungers into the coils.

Also says according to Bob, WRMI had considerable damage from Helene,
some antennas and feedlines down such as for 5050, and expensive to
repair. I read somewhere else that WRMI is not insured because of that
expense. And here comes another hurricane tho apparently not for a

** TURKEY. 7275, UT Sun Oct 6 at 0300, INTRUDER targeting N America
inside our 40m hamband, VOT English not off the air, VG S9+30/40
direct, s/on pretending it`s yesterday at 1230 on 17620. Does not name
which features will air later in hour. News leads with extremely
detailed casualty figures from Gaza, presumably from the Hamas
authorities, treated as if true: Israel killed 23 more Gazans the past
24 hours, injured 66. Totals over almost a full year of conflict:
41,825 killed, 96,910 more injured in this ``genocidal war`` which
also has destroyed 79% of the mosques.

Not monitored further on 7275, but at 0339 I find dead air slightly
above 11785 at S9/+10, suspiciously like the 2200 transmission which
was missing Oct 5 - could that be another Emirler transmitter somehow
on the air now? Per EiBi only 11785 scheduled now is CNR-2 from

Marianas. 9675 Saudi in Turkish. 11530 V of Welt [sic] in Kurdish, and
there will be no HFCC meeting in Bulgaria in August! No ID outro, 0326
switch to Bible stuff. It`s obviously Bob Padula! Yes, `Australian DX`
is still on the WWCR 4840 sked dated Oct 1, at 0315 UT Sundays.

Trouble is, it`s over 4 years old!!! HFCC: ``Due to the ongoing
COVID-19 situation, the conference in Bulgaria in August 2020 has been
cancelled. The B20 coordination is to be done online via our website,
e-mail correspondence, etc.``

What a WWCR disservice. I think BP stopped producing those years ago,
but I never listened since there was never any accurate, useful info;
his logs were ``routine`` at the time, nothing newsworthy about them.
And once cordial BP blew me off long before, when I dared to point out
to him some errors. I think he forbade me to quote him, which was fine
with me. He`s also on the outs with ARDXC. Evidently he has changed
passtimes to hiking instead of DXing. Has WWCR been running the same
4+year-old show every week, or more variety of useless outdated
misleading info? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

laughingstock (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Oct 4 at 0645, S9+35/45 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Oct 4 at 0314, S9+10/20 of pirate music.
These say it`s Liquid Radio:

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Oct 4 at 0316, Station YHWH at S9, but Josiah
undermodulated so JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.900, Oct 4 at 1652, song JBA, could be
Japanese, S5/S7 into Utah SDR. Rick Barton, AZ, had just reported at
1630 that Hikari FM had moved up from ``11515`` to ``11530``, but
really about 0.1 kHz low from new frequency just like old one. Around
here is likely to conflict with KurdoTurco radio war, not heard now,
tho at first there was some chirping like has been around 11935
SaudiYemen, and then again at 1659 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.1, Oct 4 at 1943 past 2050 UT, dead air in $ tereo from
K206CA, Enid, translator of 90.5 KNYD, Oasis Network gospel huxter. At
least that reduces the ACI to 88.9, feeder frequency I have been using
for BSR-1 SW caradio; but still squeezed by another local translator
on 88.7. Of the four available, 88.3 should be best. When it worx,
K206CA cannot really be picking up KNYD direct, since it`s ~200 km
away in Broken Arrow/Tulsa, while 90.5 is blocked here by much closer
KGVV Goltry with yet another gospel huxter network (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715, Fri Oct 4 at 2200, token English from SNR, best here
S9/+10 on SAm channel as 17855 for NAm is still OFF. So is 15390 for
Af, but 15520 for ME also backwardly audible. Something`s notright at
Noblejas. Preview topic to be something about art history on October
20; such a discussion underway at 2210 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.006, Oct 4 at *2157 IS on at full power, S9+20/30
direct. 2200 timesig about 2 sex behind WWV, s/on as if it`s 1230 on
17620: something`s always awry at Ankara. 2211 from music to `Review
of the Turkish Press`. 2213 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2223
into UTwente when measured, VG music. 2229 ``a-b-y-s`` again. 2230
`Turkish Folk Tales` about morality doing good vs doing bad to others
and oneself. 2235 music. 2253 s/off as if 17620. 2254 IS to before
2255* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 251 MCW kHz, Oct 4 at 0648 UT, only slightly unusual beacon
is JBA, AM, 100 watts from Amarillo TX. Still fighting huge local
noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15016 USB, Oct 4 at 0630, USAF cipher message, training
exercise? Can`t understand tactical ``ID`` - sounds like ``This is
Dub-Yer``. Repeated several times fonetikally: UC6QUCE, then entire
message starting with those, plus: ATN5CBKKZ6BXFL743YTWXRGBM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475 off but 9930 on, Oct 5 at 0013 from WTWW; one
transmitter still down, the one which would have carried WOR. But 5085

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs into NH SDR, Oct 4 at 2345 and
same at 2355: 3265 & 5130 OFF. 6160 -70 Hz = 6159.93 at S9+10/12 with
TOMBS, and RTTY QRM from 6164 like I also hear in Europe vs SW Radio,
Germany; more noise about 6165-6176, DRM? 7490 -68 Hz = 7489.932 with
FKB, S9+10/20. By 0000 UT Sat Oct 5, 7490- only disclaims that
following originally aired on July 12, 2024. AW starts with ``Hit
it!`` - never mind now but q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6920 LSB, Oct 4 at 0313, 2-way or multi-way net in
Spanish with indecipherable talkovers. Either the stations can`t hear
each other or not paying attention to cambios, taking turns, duh. This
area down to 6900 are replete with such intruders into the Pirate
Band, hi, probably Mexicans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
