up to date:
https://www.rri.ro/en/frequencies
-- Richard Langley``

``However a few hours later no trace of RRI on 9740 at 0300 October 5
here in Houston. Not sure if it was bad propagation; no sign of Voice
of Turkiye on 7275 at the same time. Both were on 24 hours earlier
though reception was degraded. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas``

Oct 5 at 1812: ``it would appear several RRI broadcasts are missing…
Romanian on 11975 17-20, the 11945 feed to the US. It seems most if
not all RRI is off SW right now. Regards, Paul Walker, AK``

** U S A. Reply to some of my MW logs the past week: ``Glenn et al, My
observations. 73, Wayne Heinen, N0POH, Editor, NRC AM Radio Log,
Aurora, CO:

[Re KJOZ:] If 880 decides on something, I guess I can update the AM
Radio Log database, it acts like it is brokered and broadcasts
whatever someone is willing to pay the air time fee for!

On 890 KDXU and their TLK format has been a consistent close second to
WLS since the season began. I wonder if their night DA is having
issues? 

On 1460 I’ll refer you, once again, to the Groups section of the Log.
Grp= Heart of Jesus Radio, which is listed under KHOJ in the Log. With
a quick check in the handy reference Groups section in the back of the
Log shows:

Heart of Jesus Radio – KHOJ-1460, WRYT-1080, KBKC-90.1, K244FO-96.7,
W224DC-92.7, K275CI-102.9

I know it is a pain to check each group but, I haven’t had any better
suggestion to make these types of // groups any better`` (via Glenn
Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. 1330, Oct 6 at 0501 UT, pause in gospel music for ``You are
listening to West Texas` powerhouse, KCKM...`` Really? 12/1 kW? Format
is basically C&W per NRC AM Log. BTW, Paul Crankshaw, Troon, Scotland,
MW Circle, logged Monahans Sept 28 as a `personal first`. Night
pattern is supposedly pulled in to the NE toward Wichita & Troon:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KCKM&service=AM&h=N
with deeper notches NW toward Gallup, SSE toward Mexicans (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. TA JBA MW carrier search, Oct 6 at 0440 UT: only a
trace? on 1134, nothing else in horrible conditions; altho Cubans? on
711 & 1141 showing; also some pirate or TIS carrier on 1710 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Oct 5 at 1436, S8 of dead air from RHC; 13780 S6 of
DA, or JBM? 11760 S8/S9 of undermod Spanish.

11760, Sun Oct 5 at 1504, RHC with Esperanto theme and s/on S7/S9 into
Knoxville SDR, outdated schedule as 08 on 6000?, 16 on 15730? 2230? on
something. 13780 not on now, and 15230 still DA. Revamped radiohc.cu
website seems to have eliminated any SW frequency info, no OF INTEREST
sexion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. 7340, Sun Oct 5 at 1542, TDF is still on with
MiniTransAt weather broadcast, but by now is in music fill, with
``Mem`ries``, S9+15 into UTwente, and only S5/S6 on // 17545 because
Issoudun is too close to UTwente. Is off by 1557 when I hear on 7340
instead, ChiCom martial music, 1600 TS, and presumed Kazakh as
scheduled before and after via PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0637, DDP audible again, beacon
from DoraDo, Puerto Rico airport; once I have turned off some
household devices for a marginal reduxion in local noise level (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11660.019-, Sun Oct 5 at 1640, VOT English, S9+10/25 into
UTwente, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign
Policy`; 1648 outro, 1649 song. 1652 `Letterbox` with Cemre. Copy is
more difficult than usual as internet is choppy, cutting out so I miss
some names, etc. 

1) Mr. Alex? ---?, Pacific NW USA, listener since 1988, details of
multiple logs on 11785 & 7275 takes first 7 minutes. 2) 1659, Christer
Brunström, Sweden, is writing articles for ham publication about
SWLing. Cemre says TRT believes strongly in SW radio, aware of the
shortcomings of internet. 3) 1703, Port Alberni, Canada, listening via
W3HFU remote in MD, almost perfect reception, 54555. 4) 1705, Mr.
Andres? Siliani?, Stone Hill, ON, Canada. 5) 1708 finally: Ricky Hein,
Rapid City SD, continues to complain about reception on 11785, 7275,
SINPOs in the ones, uses Etón receiver, likes TV game shows, requests
link for webcast but none provided. Asks him not to give up. Cemre saw
a report somewhere that TRT was getting some CW QRM, what frequency?
Also someone had ham/voice QRM on 7275 -- well, yeah, TRT is an
INTRUDER into the W Hemisphere 40m hamband. They should go somewhere
above 7300! 1711 wrapup, 1712 theme, ``w-y-e-h`` promo again, and now
I see UTwente has it on 11659.995 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9670 approx., Oct 5 at 1445, huge blob at S9+20, extremely
distorted but best readable when tuned in NBFM mode. It`s TOMBS and
the mod matches 9930 WTWW, which is only S9 direct and somewhat
undermodulated. At 1502 I email: ``George, Now there is a huge
distorted blob on 9670 or so, TOMBS modulation matching 9930. 9670
audio clearest when tuning in FM mode! That`s 260 kHz below, but there
is no match 260 kHz above which would be 10190, nor anywhere else. I
am sure this is interfering with stations such as Channel 292 in
Germany on 9670. Before and after 10 am CDT. Advise to fix or turn
off. Glenn``

Well, it blox 9670 in N America, but at 1526, UTW is not hearing it,
rather ACI from 9675 China. 9670 blob is S9+10 into Knoxville SDR.
I`ve kept one receiver on 9670, and by 1602 notice that it and 9930
have been turned off, so George apparently got my message.

At 1829 I email him again: ``Checking at 1:23 pm, back on and same as
before. 9670 is actually stronger signal and stronger modulation altho
FM distorted, than 9930 is. Awful. 73, Glenn`` -- that is, 9670 is
S9+25 direct, and 9930 is only S9 and undermodulated. Still the same
at 1927; by a little later, 9670 blob may be reaching Europe. But at
1946, 9670 is gone and 9930 back up to loud & clear (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 385 MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0635, JBA ND beacon(s), can`t copy
clear call and suspect two mixing. One letter somewhere is L. RNA list
shows only one close enough and possible with an L is: UWL, New Castle
IN, 25 watts. Second most likely is HO, ``Hossy``, Hot Springs AR, 50
watts. I have heard both before. Others in TX, LA, GA, IL less likely,
the IL and LA ones not reported lately, while the others have been in
September, per RNA listings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
