** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Nov 29 at 0448, R. Rebelde is on mixing music
and Spanish talk, only S9+10 and somewhat weaker than 5050 WRMI (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 870 & 1040, Nov 29 at 0440 & 0442, exactly the same
whooper/wobbler sounds overcoming WWL but undercoming WHO (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK. 25800, Nov 29 at 1610, JBA carrier but the OSOB and thus
the SSOB, presumably one of very few 11mb broadcasters, World Music
Radio. It has been reported lately by others in N American mornings.
HFCC-registered as 10 kW ND, 24h; with 25795 & 28805 alternates in
case BBC or something muscle in on 25800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21580, Nov 29 at 1615, JBA carrier, the SSOB & OSOB, i.e.
RFI in Hausa this hour; followed by a bihour of French, each on
slightly different SSE azimuths. 14m remains a grossly underutilized
band even near solar max: not a single broadcast HFCC registered to or
from the Americas, except for some irregular TDF DRM tests, or
MiniTransAt, if ever on 21660 at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 740, Nov 29 at 0750, KRMG Tulsa with no rumbling
het on the minus side, nor noticed for a while now. Had been IDed as
XEQN Torreón, Coahuila. Maybe gone or finally on-frequency. IRCA
Mexican Log does not flag it as significantly off-frequency, but says
24h and hardly ever IDs. Need to check more earlier in evening.
MWoffsets shows 739.95 as of 2024-10-12, but sked 1200-0600. Was the
lowest of the low below 740. KRMG was only 0.8 Hz high as of
2024-11-22. One bimonth ago, I put XEQN on 739.97. Circa 0100 Nov 30,
South TX SDR gets nothing but KTRH, and Durango2 is useless on MW. At
0227 I check direct: KRMG in clear, no trace of XEQN het (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Nov 29 at 0803, 1257, 1531 and 1721 UT chex, KCRC
Enid is OFF, unusual, truly a black Friday. Maybe something failed on
a holiday and no one notices or cares to fix it ASAP. Altho an
original Enid station, KCRC is now totally redundant, since Chisholm
Trail Broadcasting has put the same stupid sports programming on 1640
KZLS, the coverage area of which exceeds 1390, except 1390 has an
advantage westward from Enid; 1640 is from a site SSE of Enid, east of
Hennessey and direxional in order to reach the OKC market, while 1390
is from the studio location on Willow in northern Enid, three towers
in a row, and I`m glad not to be any closer to those than I am. See
UNIDENTIFIED for what else on 1390 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1670 kHz, Nov 29 circa 2015-2045 UT, surprised to find a
strong and steady signal here on the caradio: certainly no real 1670
radio stations capable of reaching here in broad daylight. X-banders
on 1660 KC and 1700 DFW are JBA. Playing rock music, disco, Xmasmx,
and soon ``Your friend Liam[?], with more music for you on Virtual DJ
Radio`` ! I am parked at the main intersexion in Enid of US 412 and US
81, a.k.a. Garriott & Van Buren. Nearby are CVS, Walgreen`s, and
Integris hospital. Then I drive away in all direxions, N, E, S and W,
and conclude it`s strongest just where I first found it. Steady so not
mobile. However, local line noise level varies widely from block to
block, which could skew my monitoring based on reception level. At
home, further away, is JBA vs my own high noise level. It seems this
is a thing, https://virtualdjradio.com/ -- but I seriously doubt site
will reveal where, when and why VDJR could be transmitted on 1670 in
Enid, so a pirate, or maybe qualifies as Part 15. Maybe will stay
during holidays so I could trace it better with DFing and S-meter on a
portable (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SIERRA LEONE [non]. 24975 & 24970 USB, Nov 29 at 1612, pileups of
US stations uttering nothing but their own calls over & over. Must be
hot DX on the lower frequency. DXHeat / DXCluster shows 9L5A on 24965
where I was not listening for it; QRZ.com: 9L5A Sierra Leone flag
Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone 2024 DXpedition by F6KOP, November 27 -
December 8, 2024, Sierra Leone, QSL: F5GSJ``, see:
https://9l5a.wordpress.com/ where their mascot is an hippo: ``Why a
hippopotamus on our logo? The pygmy hippopotamus is found in only 4
African countries including Sierra Leone. It is an endangered species;
a bit like us?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 29 at 2259, REE music continues thru 2300
timesignal, ID in Spanish and finally opening token English late, VG
direct. Also sufficient on 12030, audible on 17715, detectable on
17755. Preview topic to be about loss of faith in international law, a
week after the ICC issued warrants for arrest of Israeli and Hamas
leaders. And later, a book on Zionism on both side of Atlantic. 2302
into news leading with Valencia area still recovering a month after
disastrous floods. 2315 starting interview about `International Law
after Gaza` seminar, with someone visiting from Edinburgh? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Fri Nov 29 at 2258, NO signal direct from VOT English
for N America, nor later, nor at 2334 into UTwente, only Chinese. At
first JBA signal on 9610, but by 2334 at UTwente, only weak presumed
Mongolian. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 4095, Nov 29 at 0446, upward sweeps, i.e. the ``Desert
Whooper``, which also IDs as DW; unheard for quite a while and now JBA
vs local noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2271 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday November 29 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA S7/S8 direct; hope
it`s better eastward and into target Europe.

Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.997+, S8+ into UTwente. Also on WRMI webcast only.

Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20 direct
vs local noise level of S9+15/20; louder modulation would help.

Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2330 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003+, S9+5/10 into UTwente.

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Nov 29 at 0453, WRMI with a song at S9+10
but just barely modulated, less than 9790 China via Cuba on this
occasion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, UT Sat Nov 30 at 0046 into NH
SDR: 3265 OFF. 5130 lox onto something at minus 100/105 Hz, but
nothing audible to ear; must be something else. 6160 -71 Hz, S9+5/12
with TOMBS. 7490 -73 Hz, FKB at S9/+20. At 0100 on 7489.927, no
disclaimer about a repeat, which sometimes they do, often not, but
with opening `WTO` theme, it`s obviously a replay of last week,
exclaiming, ``Wake up! ... nothing like radio on a real transmitter
... Cathode!`` - so, never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 29 at 0431+:
774, 855, 882, 1053, 1305. All most likely SPAIN, including 882
CANARIAS which is more powerful than the peninsular ones (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1390, Nov 29 at 0804 UT in the absence of local KCRC,
one signal slightly atop the pileup, starting CBS News LATE with a
bong at 0804! Who would do that? Looking for C affils in NRC AM Log,
ONLY: WAVP Avon Park FL, U1 1000/77 watts; KJAM Madison SD, U1 500/62
watts; and KNCK Concordia KS, U1 500/54 watts, so most likely KNCK by
proximity. What do you bet whichever were on day power? KCRC remains
off all morning Nov 29, but at low noon 1832 UT when I get around to
checking for KNCK or anything else on 1390 into caradio, KCRC has
resumed (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6938, Nov 29 at 0458, AM carrier at S9+10/20, with tix
once per second, but no minute markers; no pirate broadcasts around

** MEXICO. 540, Nov 28 circa 0640, pop songs and frequently ``Los
Cuarenta`` = 40, alluding to ``Top 40``? Mostly in Spanish but some in
English. Constant rippling SAH. It`s XEWA San Luís Potosí SLP. IRCA
says sporadically active, probably nowhere near 150/150 kW licensed
power. MWoffsets show it on 539.9732 as of 2024-02-04, i.e. 26.8 Hz
low. CBK as 0.1 Hz high. Later in night English talk, probably CBK.
The other 540 XEWA, lower powered in Monterrey is apparently long gone

** U S A. 9955, Nov 28 at at 0713, JBA carrier S3/S4, presumably WRMI,
while 9395 WRMI with SMTV is blasting in at S9+20/25. So something`s
very odd at Okeechobee. 9455 still silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 23250 et al., replies to the WITK PA harmonix; Hugh Whelan:
``Hello all, Thank you Glenn and everyone for the helpful information
regarding the probable harmonic at 4650. To be clear, I am in West
Pittston (visiting wife's family for Thanksgiving), not at my home in
Fort Myers. This location is directly across the Susquehanna River
from Pittston. I brought my Airspy HF+ Discovery with me and put out a
60' long wire into a 9:1 Neolec balun. For what it's worth I also sent
an email to Wilkins with two recordings, but got an out of office
email saying the person was out for the week. Best, Hugh``

Arthur Pozner replies: ``This Kiwi SDR must be very close to the
transmitter. Most likely between 2 to 3 km distance. Night power is
listed as 500 W, but it is equally as bad. The assigned fundamental
(1550 kHz) frequency is S9+60. The strongest is the 3rd harmonic on
4650 kHz and S9+40. Practically all odd harmonics are pretty strong
and some are highly distorted. The even harmonics are very low (after
dark). Just wondering if the Kiwi and Airspy are both overloaded to a
point of passing fairly high level RF as it is so evident``

Rodney Johnson replies: ``Greetings From Minnesota! Either the carrier
exciter is overdriven to the point of putting out square waves, where
odd harmonics are stronger than even ones is typical, just look a
Fourier series of it:
https://mathworld.wolfram.com/FourierSeriesSquareWave.html
or the receiver front-end is severely overloaded, clipping the
incoming carrier in a square like fashion. Since an exciter running
like this would likely melt or start a fire, it is more likely the
latter. 73s --Rodney`` (via Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2271)

UNIDENTIFIED. 660, Nov 28 at 0730 UT, ``ESPN Radio`` ID dominating.
One might guess sports format WFAN NYC but NRC AM Log does not have it
with ESPN; rather only these two on 660: WDYZ Altamonte Springs FL, U4
3500/1000, and WBHR Sauk Rapids MN U4 10000/500 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 830, Nov 28 at 0737 UT, dead air, surely WCCO, but rock
steady at S9+37. Can`t imagine any local source for this. Some talk
audio JBA underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2271)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 27 at 0737, JBA carrier. Cuba still off
5025. Presumably SIBC starting to show, late enough for nightprop from

** U S A. 23250, Nov 27 at 1855, extremely distorted but strong talk,
S9+10 into Duryea PA KiwiSDR. 1858 WITK ID and Town Hall News.
Checking this because Hugh Whelan reported an unlisted station on 
4650, which Arthur Pozner then IDed as WITK [not WIZK my typo], 
Wilkes-Barre PA on its 3rd harmonic of 1550! as heard into same 
Duryea remote, which is only about 10 miles away. Looking at
the waterfall, there are lines throughout the spectrum at least to 31
MHz, correlating with 1.55 MHz spacing, so I pick this frequency which
is the *15th* harmonic of 1550. Have not tried direct, but may well be
propagating widely on multiple harmonix. Also heard on many of the
lower ones spot checked. I`ll calculate them for convenience: 3100,
4650, 6200, 7750, 9300, 10850, 12400, 13950, 15500, 17050, 18600,
20150, 21700, 23250, 24800, 26350, 27900, 29450, 31000...

Not until 2303 do I get around to checking many of those direct:
nothing except a JBA carrier on 9300 which is probably ChiCom jamming
against Sound of Hope. WITK, in Pittston PA, not Wilx-Barre, per NRC
AM Log, U4 10000/500 watts so by then would have powered down with
different antenna pattern. Still worth checking some of those possible
harmonix in daytime. Hugh`s original report started, ``From West
Pittston, PA I heard a strong signal at frequency 4650 of a man
preaching at 14:16 UTC, later followed by a clear ID that this was
coming from the Wilkins Radio Network.`` It`s not clear if Hugh was
*in* West Pittston PA, was using a remote somewhere, or heard it
direct at his location of record, Ft Myers FL; which? W. Pittston is
even closer to Duryea, both NE of W-B. NRC shows licensed to Pittston,
not West Pittston, and address in Exeter. Pittston, West Pittston,
Exeter and Duryea are close to each other about halfway between
Scranton and W-B, slightly closer to the latter. Radio-locator gives
station address as Wilkins R Network, Spartanburg SC, so O&O? Day and
night transmitter locations are slightly different by one second of
latitude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``2749 kHz USB starting 0140 UT - Halifax Coast Guard Radio Station

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAMAICA. 28580 USB, Nov 25 at 2310, 6Y5CB, Jay in Montego Bay
making quick contacts. Also noted Mexico, Belize, Uruguay sigs on 10m.
QRZ.com: ``Causland J "Scorpio" Burnett,
Flower Hill, Salt Spring PO, Montego Bay, Jamaica`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 341 MCW kHz, Nov 26 at 0750 UT, JBA ND beacons
mixing, inseparable, likely the pair I used to get even when EI was
active: DNI Denison TX 25 watts, and OIN Oberlin KS 25 watts. RNA list
says this about EI EnId: ``!! To be decommissioned 26Dec24 per
OKLAHOMA NFDD 211 - 3 10/31/2024`` and last heard: 2024-09-05. I had
also first noted it missing on Sept 6 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Nov 25 at 2259, REE S9+30/40 VG direct, sufficient
on 12030, JBA on 17715 and JBA carrier on 17755. At least, all four
transmitters manage to be on air merging into token English at 2300.
Preview topic to be about role-playing video game designer and a
literature festival, 2301 into news.

17715, Tue Nov 26 at 1958 direct, 2038 into UTwente, and 2040 into
Maryland SDR, today`s missing REE frequency, but audible on 9690 &
12030, and JBA carrier on 17755. So now it`s the SAm transmitter off
rather than 17755 or 9690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.003, Nov 25 at 2258, VOT not off the air, IS & ID in
English, S9+10/20 direct but insufficient vs local noise level. 2331
into UTwente when measured, S9+45 with music and more music. 2352
headlines by Efsun. 2353 s/off as if 1330 on 13635: something`s always
awry at Ankara, bit of IS to off before 2355* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 26 at 2300 and later chex, no signal from VOT
English for N America; 9610 algo JBA. Into UTwente at 2331, Chinese
only on 5960, non-English JBA on 9610, presumably Mongolian from
China. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 344 MCW kHz, Nov 26 at 0751 UT, ND beacon is JBA, seems to
be OL - but nonesuch listed: likely JL, i.e. I missed the initial dot,
`Lunns` Joplin MO per RNA list last logged 2024-11-12, power 0,
apparently meaning unknown. I`ve heard it before (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2270 monitoring: confirmed Monday
November 25 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002+, S8/9+5 into
UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday November 26 at 0353 the 0330 on WRMI 7780,
S8/S9 direct.

Barely confirmed Tueday November 26 at 1415 and 1520 the 1400 & 1500
on WRMI 9955, JBA direct as usual this time of day, but sounds like
me. I`m barely awake, so no checking remotes or webcast.

Also confirmed Tuesday November 26 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.997+, S9 into UTwente. Next:

0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;

** U S A. 880, reply to my KJOZ log: ``Glenn, you are correct about
Radio Visión Latina on KJOZ 880, which is the originating station for
K291CE 106.1 in Houston. KJOZ has been leased by numerous programmers
in recent years, so sometimes hard to keep track of changes. La Calle
is a different format currently heard on several translators and LPFMs
on 102.5 in the greater Houston metro area. Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas`` --- tnx, Stephen! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1600, Nov 26 at 0443 UT, ``BIN 103.7`` non-ID at tuneby. I
would expect usual dominant KATZ St Louis. NRC AM Log shows 6/3.5 kW
station is UC:GOS but also with BIN and translator on 93.3. Website
https://hallelujah1600.iheart.com/ has nothing about BIN or even
callsign--who needs them? KATZ. The only 1600/103.7 matchup in WTFDA
FMDB is W279BY of WKZK 1600, Augusta-Richmond County, GA, ``The Spirit
103.7 FM & 1600 AM`` AND same match in NRC AM Log as WKZK North
Augusta SC, 4000/27 watts also UC:GOS format, but no mention of BIN.
The only other BIN on 1600 is 25/5 kW WWRL NYC which is apparently
fulltime BIN with UC:NWS/TLK, but I would hardly expect it way out
here, https://newyork.binnews.com/ and no FM.

Looking further into WKZK: https://wkzk.net/ shows slogan is The
Spirit, and nothing about BIN - might take news only from it, but
would not expect that to combine with 103.7 in a non-ID. Now what?

Guess what, searching on BIN 103.7 leads right to St. Louis! About the
same generic website as WWRL: but nothing about 1600! Back to WTFDA:
there is no 103.7 in MO near St Louis: I bet it`s across the bridge in
IL: YES, here we go: ``W279AQ relay of: KLOU 103.3 HD2 103.7 MASCOUTAH
IL USA 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 38-34-28 90-19-32 D3FF NEWS BIN 151819`` ---
Mascoutah is just SE of St Louis, about twice as far out at
Belleville, rather too far for an FM translator into STL, but not for
1600 AM. O, CoL may be Mascoutah, why? but coverage area shows site is
on SW edge of St Louis in MO, with poor little Mascoutah barely within
fringe contour:

How convoluted! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Nov 26 at 0744, JBA carrier indicating 4940
station back on air after missing a few days. Was previously reported
the night before:
``Estación 4940 on at 0735 UTC Nov. 25 --- There were some reports
this station was missing in recent days, but it's on tonight. During a
band scan here near Seattle, I immediately heard music on 4940 kHz --
first a woman singing nearly operatically at times in a Latin-American
song at 0735 UTC, a male announcer talking in Spanish for a moment or
two, then (a bit surprisingly) a male-sung contemporary Christian song
called "I Will Rise" at 0741 UTC. What I was receiving matched with
audio heard loudly via the SDR in Bonaire. Reception was generally
poor to barely fair. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 26 at
0432-0440 UT, jiggled a loose connexion on the Wellbrook loop cable,
now this is more like it: 711, 774, 819, 855, 1044, 1098, 1107, 1125,
1134?, 1314, 1368? Likely mainly Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1141, Nov 25 at 0442 UT, carrier het to 1140s. Long
assumed to be Cuban, but doubts were cast in NRC IDXD by ed. Bruce
Conti; however, we can`t be positive a blackout in Cuba was 100%:
``1141 unID NOV 1 0800 - Loud het against 1140 WRVA. By 1000 UTC,
barely above the noise floor but still there. NOV 3 0000 - Het against
1140 WRVA and CBI. Roy Barstow via RealDX reported receiving the 1141
kHz signal during the electricity blackout in Cuba, so this widely
received offset frequency signal apparently isn't Cuba as had been
previously presumed. Not from 1140 WQBA which is found on frequency
via the Boca Raton KiwiSDR. Not 1140 WVVO Viva FM on frequency via the
Melbourne SDR. 1140 ZP22 Central Radio strong and on frequency via
Paraguay SDR. Nothing on 1140 or 1141 daytime via Bonaire SDR, only a
strong YVRL R. Ideal signal on 1130 kHz. Ecuador SDR not connecting.
Colombia, Peru, and Puerto Rico would be logical suspects if not Cuba.
[Conti-NH]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
