** CANADA [non]. Re 24955 USB, CY9C: ``Hi Glenn, Just for your
reference, St. Paul Island is counted as a separate country on the
ARRL Country list as is Sable Island. Bill Smith, Douglas, MA``

Makes no sense to me, but ARRL can create radio countries at will.
Sable, yes, far out in the Atlantic. Wikipedia info:

``Sable Island (French: île de Sable, literally "island of sand") is a
small Canadian island situated 300 km (190 mi) southeast of Halifax,
Nova Scotia, and about 175 km (109 mi) southeast of the closest point
of mainland Nova Scotia in the North Atlantic Ocean.``

``St. Paul Island is a uninhabited island located approximately 24 km
northeast of Cape North on Cape Breton Island and 71 km southwest of
Cape Ray on Newfoundland; it is along the boundary between the Gulf of
St. Lawrence and the Cabot Strait.
Province: Nova Scotia``

Such a ruling would imply any island more than 24 km from mainland,
despite no *political* separation, could be a radio country. How about
Magdalen Islands, further than that? Haida Gwaii? countless other
Arctic situations? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 4 at 0257, S9 of dead air from RHC. 6000 is only
other frequency found, S9+40 at 0306, suptorted English and still no

``'The ideological spirit and forces driving regime change in Mexico
are from Havana'
Diego Santana, Madrid 03 Sep 2024 - 17:52 CEST

Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Miguel Díaz-Canel in Havana [caption].
Mexico 'The ideological spirit and forces driving regime change in
Mexico are from Havana' DIARIO DE CUBA talks about relations between
the two countries with Cuban journalist Rubén Cortés, who has been
based in Mexico for more than 20 years. Cubadebate

Relations between Mexico and Cuba, between the governments of Andrés
Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and Miguel Díaz-Canel, have been
particularly intense in recent years, marked by ideological
affinities, the influence of propaganda from Havana in Mexico, and the
economic support that AMLO has provided to the Cuban regime amidst the
unremitting collapse of Cuban society.

In the coming weeks, Mexico will swear in a new president, Claudia
Sheinbaum, heiress to the current ruler, but will relations with
Havana change? DIARIO DE CUBA spoke with the Mexican-based Cuban
journalist Rubén Cortés, with extensive experience in that country's
media, to analyze the current context of bilateral relations, how they
have influenced each other, and how they will do so in the future.

What do you think is Cuba's real level of influence in Mexico today?

Havana is supervising and overseeing the design, structure and
execution of the dismantling of democracy in Mexico, like it did in
Venezuela and Nicaragua, with some variations, depending on local
characteristics...``

** CUBA. 9790, Sept 4 at 0313, CRI English relay S9+20/30 but quite
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 4 at 0635, S9+25/35 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde - seems like they turn off the mod but not the transmitter
circa 0630. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ECUADOR. 6050, Sept 4 at 0307, instrumental music S9+10, presumably
HCJB indeed staying on later than 0235*v weekdays, until at least
0500? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.92, Sept 4 at 0301, JBA carrier on what was
once the signature off-frequency of pirate Hikari FM, missing for
months, supposedly just across the AZ border in Mexico. Also 11514.9
JBA carrier Sept 4 at 1520. Ron Howard had also been wondering about
him and reports on Sept 3:

``[WOR] Hikari FM (formerly Radio Pushka and later became Radio
Channel Eastern Star/Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda) --- Hi Glenn, Thanks
very much to Gary Pence for the reminder that the pirate Hikari FM has
not been reported for a while now, so perhaps I should resume my 
contact with the station to find out what his current plans are. As a 
result I emailed the operator of Hikari FM and here is his quick reply:

"Thank you very much for reaching out! Thank you very very much. I
will bring hikari back on, I have brought it on with my old transmitter 
on 11.515. I am designing and building a new shortwave transmitter. 
Last time my antenna got demolished by careless landscaping 
workers. I have rebuilt everything and re-tuned the system which 
was lavishly tuned prior. I really want to get a local signal into 
California and a (listenable) signal into Japan. SW is definitely my 
go to from now on. I cannot get any good coverage locally even with
a 500 watt FM transmitter, my location is horrible for FM, my site is
lower than the average terrain. While I am on the small transmitter I
will run the station 24/7 but when I finish the 100 watt one I am not
sure. I might even relay NHK at some point idk, not sure what the
rules are regarding that. Very Very best regards"

I appreciated receiving his neat eQSL in the past -

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.417-, Sept 4 at 1816, Yemen service with ME
chanting and drumming, soon Arabic exhortations, S9+15/20 into
UTwente. No chirps or other noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAJIKISTAN. 15515, Sept 4 at 0258, unknown language bit, AWR theme,
IDs in English, French, German, Italian. Then English announcement to
stay tuned for ---? chopped to dead air and then off. Something`s
dubious at Dushanbé, S8/9+10 with flutter, peaks stronger than 15230
DA CUBA, so SSOB. EiBi shows 0230-0300 English for BGD = Bangladesh
specifically? And nothing to follow on 15515 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275, Sept 4 at 0308, VOT not off the air, VG S9+30/40
INTRUDER to N America during olds by an accented M voice I don`t
recognize, about PKK terrorists. // 6165 thataway is JBA. The previous
repeat airing at 2200 failed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

September 3 at 2351 the 2330 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.001-,

NOT confirmed Tuesday September 3 at 2330 on WRMI 9395 because that
transmitter is OFF the air; but resumed later.

Confirmed Wednesday September 4 at 1931 on Shortwave Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160, VG into UTwente via timer recording, unmeasured exactly

** U S A. 9455, Sept 3 at 2354, and still Sept 4 at 0312, this WRMI is
OFF. 9395, Sept 3 at 2330, this WRMI is off when WOR should have run,
no signal into GA, IL or OK SDRs, nor Brasília. It`s not propagation;
9955 is S9+25 direct at 2354 and OK to Brasília. 9395 however is back
on by 0312 at S9+20/30 direct. Somethings` odd at Okeechobee (Glenn

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 3 at 0342, RHC English? S9+40 but suptorted and
still no 9700. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Sept 3 at 0350, CRI English relay is S9/+10 but JBM.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 3 at 0654, S9+20/30 of dead air in Spanish from R.

RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** HAWAII. 28445 USB, Sept 3 at 2213, working Georgia on the
``Mainland``, therefore must be speaking from Hawaii. No fonetix,
could be AA6V or KH6V, but QRZ.com implies this: ``AH6V Hawaii flag

Tulsa, seemed an ID I could not copy, into Mexmx. The only likely USSS
would be KJJD Windsor CO, but it`s a daytimer. Very likely XERT,
Reynosa, Tamaulipas, 5 kW daytimer which runs 24h, per IRCA Mexican

** NORTH AMERICA. 6855 USB, Sept 3 at 0345, rock S9+20/30. Tuning
downward, I knew a bigsig was imminent as it was wideband as far up as
6867. These say Radio 48 via Mix Radio International, between 00 and
05 UT with waterfall ID images:

** OKLAHOMA. 960 & 100.9, Sept 3 at 0334, still 0442, 0521, 0630 UT,
KGWA Enid in dead air but translator RDS reassures us it`s
``KGWA-FM_`` -- NOT! Rather K265FL. The real FM side of KGWA is 103.1
KOFM. I see that WTFDA DB now marx 100.9 MONO as per my info. ``Cagey
Way`` is not to be outdone by crosstown rival KCRC/KZLS in the Dead
Air Sweepstakes! By nulling 960 on the handheld DX-398 I hear two or
three other talkstations mixing, but could not pull an ID by 0400
after one of them weathered. KGWA 960 has come to life by next check
15 UT. Hey, it`s been a holiday. Think of all the undernourished
Enidians who could have been fed for the cost of all that wasted AM&FM
juice (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.79 & 27224.48 approx., AM, Sept. 3 at 1528, Enid CB
pirate is back with S9 but undermodulated relays of 105.5 K288FX
translator of `K-love`, KYLV 88.9 OKC (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11935.395, Sept 3 at 1606, Qur`an at
S9+20/25 into UTwente on Yemen service, again with heavy ACI from
11940, which is CRI English this hour only via Kashgar, East
Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and
other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520 & 15390, Sept 3 at 2158, if it`s Tuesday there must
not be English, but I check REE anyway to find both these OFF the air,
while 17715 & 17855 remain with VG signals. Something`s notright at
Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 3 before 2200, no signal direct from VOT, but
then pops on a carrier only S9, fluttery and no modulation. Recheck at
2215, NO signal, so another failed attempt to get English on.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. So we cannot get their take
on news beyond of Turx attacking Americans; maybe tomorrow on the olds
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15016 USB, Sept 3 at 0642, ``all stations, Abundance, break,
[fonetikaly:] X2BK07, I say again...`` I am not positive the
penultimate character was ``zero``. USAF, strong signal but lousy mod
breaking up somewhat with crowd/office noise in background. Repeated
the alfanumerix a few times, and then the axual message starting with
the same and adding a few more, but not really long as often the case,
I did not try to copy. The `Abundance` ID only heard once, and never
the same again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Reply received Sept 3 for my VOA 6090 DRM report, not heard
again since:

``Hi Glenn, Thanks for the reception information. We were running 6.5
kW pointed south so was surprised that we had enough of a rear lobe
that could be decoded. We are currently running several DRM test to
check propagation for various locales as well as exciter parameters.
At this time, there is not a DRM program scheduled from our station.
Test will be run as time permits. The transmitter is a vintage
Continental 617, 50 kW ISB transmitter that was repurposed for DRM.

Unfortunately, I do  not yet know where the VOA Fulani service on
17630 AM is transmitted from. I will be glad to put you on the list
for a QSL card.

Thanks and best of 73'

** U S A. 5920, Sept 3 at 0341, this WTWW is still on while 5085 is
off. As of Sept 3, HFCC A24 has still not been updated since Aug 21,
and does not show 5920 for WTWW, but for several other stations.
But FCC must have okayed it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, Sept 3 at 1535, TOMBS at S9+15/35, 6 seconds behind //
9980 WWCR at S9/+15. So TOMBS hours on WTWW 9930 have expanded
earlier, A24 HFCC registered as available 14-24 at 180 degrees. The
Overkiller! It`s a safe bet that if you can pick up one Tennessee
station, also the other. But if TOM wants to pay for it, take the
money and run it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010 & 5050, Sept 3 at 0340, these WRMIs are off while they
are supposed to be on - rather as before, 5050 bears a JBA carrier
hard to explain otherwise than a WRMI exciter-only. The other 5s,
5800, 5850 & 5950 are doing fine as normal, and `Freedom Synergy
Radio` on 5800 is still duplicated on 9955. More anomalies on the 9
MHz band at 0349: 9395 S9+30, 9955 S9+20/30 but 9455 abnormally weak,
S8 JBA. Each on a different azimuth but this is beyond that.
Somethings` odd at Okeechobee. However, at 0653 recheck, 5010 is back
on with TOMBS and 9955 in Spanish presumed RFI relay (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 1080, Sept 3 at 0655 UT, KRLD Dallas is getting QRM at about
equal level. I keep listening and at 0700 there is a multi-station ID,
most of them FM translators, but could not copy details in rapid
recitation. Only location caught at start is Evansville, so I look it
up later in NRC AM Log to find there is no Evansville IN on 1080.
Instead, must have been *Edwardsville* IL, which is non-commercial
*WRYT, U7 500/20 watts, Heart of Jesus Radio, with CVN/EWTN. NRC Log
shows no translators but reverse lookup in WTFDA FMDB shows two which
are Relay of WRYT-1080: K216DI 91.1 in Harvey ND!, Covenant Network;
and W224DC 92.7 in Caseyville IL with EWTN. On my E/W longwire which
unfavors Dallas to the SSE. U7 is an unusual antenna combination,
meaning 3 different patterns for daytime, nighttime and critical
hours. NRC Pattern Book shows one itty-bitty loop toward the WSW,
favorable for us. radio-locator.com shows all three: daytime and CH at
380 watts aim thisaway, while night pattern does not, pulled in to
protect KRLD but far from a notch. Anyhow, I strongly suspect WRYT was
NOT on night pattern/power. After IDs at 0700, into religious talk
show with hostess, repeat of something which occurs on first Monday of
each month (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1590, Sept 3 at 0707 UT, ``Those Were the Days``, classic
song in English, 0709 brief Spanish! announcement, another classic
song in English, ``What a Wonderful World``. 0711 I copy ``Ambiente

internal noise now. So resumed offfrequenciness after switch to

Preview topic, a novel based on facts, ``Colonia Dignidad`` in
southern Chile supposed to be wonderful but really a cult like a Nazi

am distracted. 2215 `Letterbox` this time no song before Halil starts.
He`s OK, glad it`s close to September autumn, very lovely. Again it`s
painfully obvious he has not even glanced at the letters before
recording. #1 is from Japan, but can`t read the handwriting for name
but it`s from someone he recognizes from before, in Hiroshima where
it`s rainy, hot and humid. Refers to a July 7 festival of attaching
strips with wishes on bamboo branches, wants another QSL. (I`m
numbering them:) #2 at 2221 from Peter Ng, Johore Bahru, Malaysia
again, report of May 19. Mail is taking a long time. #3 from Spain,
can`t read name, handwriting. #4 Netherlands, Al Vogels?, Dutch SWL
Lima Victor. #5 from Norway, handwritten from Mr Petersa? Host can`t
understand what he is writing about, questioning whether TRT has paid
for rights to broadcast the music? Halil is sure they have. At 2228,
#6 from India 10 July, tnx for QSL, Ahan Banin? wants promo material
to distribute to 317-member club. Even if he gives the name I can only
guess on the spelling, except this one: #7 from Peter Ng again,
reception report of a French broadcast but since he wrote in English
it did not go to French dept. #8 at 2231, ``My Man/Mate``, Alan
Holder, Isle of Wight. Once had a cat. Several topix, can`t read my
scribbles. Germans visit Turkey in Oct, off-season with less crowding,
lower prices. Halil is renting in a building which has only two apts
on each floor, not four. At 2245, #9 from Kerala, wants QSL. 2248, #10
from Massimo Marmonte?, Italy, IZ2493SWL, wants QSL. 2249 time`s up,
goodbye like last week, Amen and song fill until 2252 outro. 2253

ID filler reel including English. 2330 same theme as `That`s Why` and
about Das Kaspische Meer. Usual alternating with songs like in
Englisch until suddenly chopped off finally at 2347* when the op woke
up. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW check, 0028 UT Sept 3: 9475 playing song ``Delilah`` so
then PPP can rant about it religiously; 9930 is also on presumably
TOMBS, VG signals direct. At 0121, 9930 had changed to 5920 at S9/+20
into NH SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955 & 5010, Sept 2 at 0630, these WRMIs are off, prolonging
usual Monday-only anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Finally a reconfirmation of the off-frequency het I have
been hearing, as first definitely IDed many years ago, still, from Tim
Hall`s review of his recorded DX-pedition logs last year from the
NV/UT Border Inn: ``1240.200 KCRT CO, Trinidad. 10/27 1133 – After
about a decade of chasing this off-frequency carrier on hundreds of
Perseus recordings, I finally caught a nice ID "My 99-3, KCRT." 534
miles, 10 miles short of the current GYDXA record. New, CO #81, GY
#254`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 2 at 0630, RV is still on here with VP signal.
Harold Sellers, BC reports: ``7260, at 0609, Sep. 2, Pacific islands
music. Poor. Had not been audible before 0600. Good by 0645. In
Bislama. 0656 male announcer, IDs, ads and off abruptly before 0659.
Checking 3945 there was a very weak signal there`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 0225 UT September 3

** CUBA. 4765, Sept 1 at 0207, R. Progreso is off while 5025, R.
Rebelde is on, and modulating, to boot, and even still at 0636. Have
not heard RP for some time, has anyone? Nominal sked was 0030-0400
only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR [non]. 6050, Sept 1 at 0638, JBA carrier, presumably
remnant of ELWA, not HCJB which ran late last night, evidently a
one-off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6085-6095, Sept 1 circa 0100 & 0200, no DRM test from VOA
Grimesland like there was last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2258 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
August 31 at 2300 on reactivated WTWW 9475, VG direct. Seemed to
interrupt other programming for ID and WOR.

Missed checking UT Sunday Sept 1 at 0000 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear
it?

** U S A. 5920, Sept 1 at 0206, the night frequency of WTWW 9930 is on
again, but 5085, the night frequency of 9475, is not. Then early UT
Sept 1, George McClintock sends 5 photos captioned:

``WTWW glass capacitor -- first picture is a bypass capacitor in the
#2 driver stage put there by a previous person. The capacitor should
be an RF Glass cap. The German engineer found this when inspecting the
#2 transmitter. 2nd pix is the glass replacement. 3rd, glass in place
in the #2 transmitter`` and:

``WTWW: #1 transmitter freq. change -- first pix is the bad capacitor
in the #1 transmitter that prevented it from changing frequencies. A
new capacitor was put in.  Works fine now. 2nd pix shows the wrong
spacing for the motor to the capacitor.
Spacers were put in which made the frequency change work better.
George McClintock 8-31-2024`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re deadair 91.5 KSNS and unheard 101.7 KREJ, Medicine Lodge
KS, being owned by ``Florida Public Radio``, this is not an error. It
so happens that this FPR is a PRIVATE gospel-huxtering group, forcing
the *REAL* PUBLIC RADIO stations in FL to aggroupize themselves as
Florida Public MEDIA! And the KSNS/KREJ connexion in KS goes wayback
per noncomradio.net, the website reached by search on Florida Public
Radio, listing among its O&O stations, KREJ since Sept 1990, and KSNS
since May 2000. They also have a couple in Iowa. Shows different ex
post facto slogan for KREJ was or is: ``Kansas Radio Exhalting
Jesus`` FPR HQ is WPIO 89.3 Titusville. Has one KS or the other
axually been a satellite relay of WPIO all these years? After all,
WPIO means ``We Pass It On``. If FPR is the real owner of the KS
stations, why is the KS widow wanting to sell them? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 100.3, caradio still tuned where I got Iowa earlier today,
at first nothing, but as I move the car slightly, I begin to hear some
station, Aug 31 at 2332 UT, soon non-ID as ``100.3 Jack FM``. Unless
it`s a 200-watt translator in AZ, WTFDA FMDB shows this is: ``KJKK
100.3 DALLAS TX 97.0 kW 574.2 m 32-35-02 96-57-48 HD 28D2 JACK~ FM -
Song/Title Song/Artist Adult Hits 100.3 JACK FM 63779`` - another bit
of extended groundwave in the 400+ km range. Last heard on May 6,
2023, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 1 at 0640, R. Vanuatu is on with music, S7/S8
direct. But Ron Howard and Tony Rogers report that at 0658/0659 it
switched to 3945. Presumably its harmonix of 7890, 11835, even 15780
are still suppressed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 630.03 approx., Sept 1 at 0645, LAH against 630.00
stations, not the 631 het from Cuba. Nothing in mwoffsets from USA
higher than 630.0033 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1390, Sept 1 at 0658 UT, KCRC Enid again providing
deadair. This time I try nulling very strong signal on the DX-398, and
can hear at least 3 othersigs mixing, talk and music, but can`t ID
anything as I am falling asleep until 0720. There are 1390s in
adjacent states AR, KS, NM, TX, and many more beyond mostly
low-powered at night. One still with 5 kW is WGRB Chicago but tightly
direxional northwards. Sibling 1640 KZLS also DA again, but always
much weaker in town and other 1640 station(s) audible without really
trying (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
