** BRAZIL. 28270.5 CW, Sept 18 at 2204, only beacon heard is dash VVV PY4MAB. Higher on 28 MHz, only one unID phoner in quick scan. WGB list: ``28270.5 PY4MAB - Poços de Caldas MG BRA GG68re - #0/1/3 (14 Sept 2024) Note: VVV ID + grid + BCN + 5" carr. Cobra 142 gtl mod. ant vert 10w`` - QRZ.com: ``PY4MAB Brazil flag Brazil, MAURICIO BERALDO, LUIZ ZANGIACOMI 145, POÇOS DE CALDAS MG ZIP CODE 37704-274, MG, Brazil`` https://www.qrz.com/db/PY4MAB includes brief biography, linx to social media, huge photo gallery of equipment, the city, wildlife, nary a human, and: ``I have a Radio Beacon on the frequency of 28.270.5 CW, 24 hours a day, vertical antenna, 10 watts of power. In 2020 it will be 10 years since Beacon is on the air. Whoever receives the signals and sends me a confirmation by letter I will respond to everyone and send a special QSL card from my city.`` As name implies, city is known for its hot springs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 18 at 0635 UT, KQCV OKC again tonight with continuous QRM, extremely distorted seems like music, right on same frequency only. Does not match anything on 780, 790, 810 or 820. This time I DF it with the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398: peaks NNW/SSE at same angle as KQCV. Possibly out of KQCV itself, but again no sign of it in daytime check after 1430. Is anyone else hearing this? Based on DF alone, but a few possibilities: CHAB Moose Jaw SK, WSHO New Orleans LA, XEQT Veracruz -- but none of them very likely by power and distance. CHAB & WSHO are OK in remote daytime chex 1745. How about PJB? Own Bonaire SDR tied up as often. Next time I should check remotes when I am hearing that, especially the one in OKC (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA [non?]. 11936.143+, Sept 18 at 1806, very rapid chirping vs Yemen service, S9+20. Jamming from Iran? UTwente flails to lock onto when tuned to 11935, but finally stix here when tuned to 11936.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Sept 18 at 2201, token English from SNR, S9+30/40 direct, 2202 news, something about democratic reforms proposed, such as decriminalizing insulting royalty. 2212 check, 17715 back to weaker than 17855 since it`s toward S America, but today is also fluttechoey unlike the others: 15520 sufficient and 15390 still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 18 at *2200.3, VOT carrier cuts on late, dead air at first and powering up from S8 to S9+20 as monitored direct; 2201 brings up modulation as olds is starting. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Recheck 2214 ending `Review of the Turkish Press`, into a new segment I had not heard before, about inventions; starting with assassination of Chicago Mayor Harrison on 28 October 1893. This led to improvements in body protexion: steel armor and shields obsolete. Something about a Polish immigrant`s work. Dr. George E. Goodfellow discovered that someone avoided death because a bullet hit his handkerchief in pocket, and this led to bulletproof vest invention, as he demonstrated by having an assistant fire at him point-blank. Never explained materials made of, kevlar never mentioned! But show outro as `Unscripted Twists of Fate` -? or more likely, `Unexpected-`? 2222 music. 2233 recheck into UTwente when measured, S9+45, more music. 2238 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, `Sports Panorama`. 2247 music. 2252 s/off as if on 17620 at 1230. 2253 IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs. 2300 ~correct timesignal and s/on German, 2301 Alten to 2302.6* chop. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sept 18 at 0645-0651 UT, MW NDB bandscan hits a lot of intriguing JBA carriers, but no IDs audible, still plenty of storm noise. From RNA listings and previous monitoring experience, I guess them to be: 305, RO, Roswell NM, 400 watts 326, MA, Midland TX, 400 watts 338, TU, Tulsa OK, ``0`` watts 344, JL, Joplin MO, ``0`` watts 346, YXL, Sioux Lookout ON, 500 watts 359, SDR, Snyder TX, 25 watts, but off? 379, RUE, Russellville AR, 25 watts, ``RU`` 384, JB, Lumberton NC, 0 watts, only listed, doubtful 385, HO, Hot Springs AR, 50 watts 404, HU, Hutchinson KS, 25 watts 407, HRU, Herington KS, 25 watts 420, FQ, Fairmont MN; PK Olathe/Herbb KS; or TU Tupelo MS, each 25 watts Only ID copied this session at 0650: 395, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday September 17 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+15 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed Tuesday September 17 at 2331 on Shortwave Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.002+, JBA S7/S8 noisy into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday September 18 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001+ at S9+10/15 and 3975.003 also at S9+10/15 into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday September 18 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -74 Hz = 7489.926, S9+15 into NH SDR. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. As a non-commercial service, voluntary financial support appreciated. Thanks this week for a contribution via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily to woradio at yahoo.com, ``Pleased to once again express my appreciation and admiration. 73, peace, and good health de Jim Gershman, K1JJJ in Rhode Island!`` One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank in US funds to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1530, Sept 18 at 0653 UT, Mexmx mixing with WCKY, unusual. 0654 phone number in Spanish starting with AC 512, which is San Antonio TX area - or was as I well remember from living there, but it shrank in 1992 to Austin area. And on the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX398, DF SSW almost fits for that, really closer to due south. 0659 and again at 0700, IDs as ``La Raza 95.1``. Therefore per NRC AM Log, it`s KZNX, Creedmoor TX, U7 10000/220/1000/55 watts, address in El Paso, but that`s the group HQ. Creedmoor is not even indexed in my road atlas. It`s 15 miles south of Austin, 2020 census population 434. What do you bet it`s not on 220 watt night power? KZNX last logged April 8 during Total Solar Eclipse. You might expect a TX 1530 in Spanish would be KGBT Harlingen, U8 50/10/50 kW, but night pattern disfavors the north, main lobe ESE into GOM, and it`s TUDN sports (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0005 UT September 19

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 17 at 0338, S8/9+10 of dead air in Spanish from RHC where something`s always wrong. The Other Side: ``Agriculture -- the first law of Castroism: even when something goes very wrong, it can always get even worse. If the Ministry of Agriculture granted 100 pesos of credit for each fruitless plan, measure, resolution, order, strategy, law, and agreement it has issued, Cuba's fields would not be overrun with marabou. Rafaela Cruz La Habana 17 Sep 2024 - 16:26 CEST...`` https://diariodecuba.com/economia/1726583174_57220.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 17 at 0335, anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH, S9/+10 undermodulated vs storm noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 17 at 0340, JBA S6/S7, finally some modulation audible direct, music, 0342 announcement seems English but too weak to copy, 0343 back to music, choral? I emailed to the Hikari FM address, but no reply yet. EiBi shows location as Choya Bay, Sonora, which is what the pirate op once said. Or Cholla, that`s just west beyond Puerto Peñasco on a little peninsula into the Sea of Cortez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 17 at 0635 UT, usual dominant signal from KQCV OKC has some very distorted QRM on this frequency only. Not sure yet whether local, need to check on other radios. No sign of the noise in daytime at 1710. NRC AM Log shows *all* other conterminous US 800s have less than KQCV`s 1000-watt night power. XEROK is kaput, not mentioned at all in 2024 IRCA Mexican Log. There are a few more XEs still on 800; higher-powered Canadians; and PJB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Sept 17 at 2158, no token English on Tuesday but checking SNR Ladino reception anyway. VP direct S5/S8 with pulsing on the plus side. This NAm frequency at S6/S8 is *weaker* than 17715 to SAm, S9/+10 with flutter, so something`s notright at Noblejas in addition to prop disturbance. 15520 also on and 15390 also still off. Estimated frequency at 2200 of the pulsing, never noticed before: 17855.7. Is it REE transmitter itself? Into Maryland SDR at 2220, 17855 S3/S5 with flutter and 17715 S5/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Product: Geophysical Alert Message wwv.txt Issued: 2024 Sep 17 2100 UTC Prepared by the US Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center Geophysical Alert Message Solar-terrestrial indices for 17 September follow. Solar flux 165 and estimated planetary A-index 72. The estimated planetary K-index at 2100 UTC on 17 September was 3.67. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been severe. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G4 level occurred. Solar radiation storms reaching the S1 level occurred. Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are expected. Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level are likely. ** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sept 17 at 2157, TRT VOT IS & ID direct at S9+10, but really unusable by English program start 2200 due to extreme propagation disturbance. By 2217 when measured into UTwente synching onto weak S7 signal, but no sound. Later in hour, no signal at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 395 MCW kHz, Sept 17 at 0650 UT, ND beacon CA is JBA, 25 watts from Newton `Harvs`, Kansas. Had been seeking this for longtime and suspected off. RNA list shows it last logged on 2024-02-17. Always weaker than another KS, HRU on 407, 25 watts from Herington; but now HRU is inaudible. RNA says last logged 2024-09-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday September 17 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+30/40 direct after `Everglades` ID. Also confirmed Tuesday September 17 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S9 direct. Also confirmed Tuesday September 17 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1322.995+, S9 but noisy into UTwente across Europe. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. As a non-commercial service, voluntary financial support appreciated. Thanks this week for a contribution via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily to woradio at yahoo.com, ``Pleased to once again express my appreciation and admiration. 73, peace, and good health de Jim Gershman, K1JJJ in Rhode Island!`` One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank in US funds to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Sept 17 at 0500+, WRMI still on the air with R. Prague in English, which is what`s on WRN at this time. On WRMI webcast and 9955 into Pardinho, Brasil SDR but way out of synch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7490-, Sept 17 at 0337, WBCQ with TOMBS, S8/S9 but very unusually with Doppler flutter, i.e. frequency wobbling due to geomag storm. Aurora not quite reaching Maine nor here nor directly in between (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. IN THE AMERICAS with DAVID YETMAN is an excellent 27-minute TV series I always try to watch at the single time it airs on OETA Create channel from PBS, UT Tuesdays at 0300 - it appears that all 10 seasons of episodes may be viewed via https://intheamericas.org/episodes/ Look thru the topix which may interest you especially (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2315 UT September 17

** CANADA. 28174 CW, Sept 16 at 2203, VVV DE VE1VDM/B and 8 dits/E`s. Beacon already logged Sept 7: see that for details (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Sept 16 at 0423, S9/+10 of suptorted music, audible at peaks, presumably RHC Spanish as not // 6000 RHC English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 15445, Sept 16 at 0425, Chinese-sounding songs, S9+20 with heavy trans-polar flutter, 0430 ID in Russian as P. Китая = R. Kitaya. Aoki shows 0400-0600 via Kashi-Saiba, E.T., land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. One of best signals on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ISRAEL [non]. 9955, Sept 16 at 0412, WRMI not off the air after 0400 as usually happens UT Mondays, rather English with news about Israel, Hamas. Must be the WRN relay whose North American service does contain Israel Radio at 0400-0500 daily. Does I.R. know or even care that is back on SW? WRMI System B program grid claims internet-only during that hour. Also Sept 16 at 0647 check, Spanish no doubt RFI relay hour, which WRMI grid still claims is an hour earlier at 05-06, internet only except weekends. Need to check what really air at 05-06: from WRN it would be Prague & Slovakia; and at 06-07 not RFI from WRN but DW and NHK. 5010 was off this UT Monday as usual instead of TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Sept 16 at 0416 music and talk, probably Dengê Gel and/or Erdowan jammer. No other signals in the 11.5s. EiBi shows site ARMENIA for D.G.; Aoki only on 11535 as Uzbekistan. While not always on 11540, Gianni Serra also reported this the night before: ``11540-CLANDESTINE Radyoya Dengê Gel (People's Voice Radio), in listed Kurdish 09.15.2024 0558-0615 (11539.996-.995 kHz per UTwente, very good), playing two local chants, at 0600 brief tune, woman very long speech (ment Îraqê, Iran, rejîma Îranê); good in SSB sync with nonstop rapid QSB and lite QRN rustle/almost good in AM; in // <denge-gel.org> in streaming with some seconds of delay (Serra, Roma, Italy)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 13810, Sept 16 at 0420, M&W in unID lang, S9+20/30, the SSOB by far and almost the OSOB, i.e. BBC Somali until 0430* as sked M-F only from 0400 per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 28276 CW, Sept 16 at 2204, dash and XE1JAL/B, previously logged last September and October. WGB list: ``28276 XE1JAL/B - Xalapa Veracruz MEX EK19mm - #0 (10 Sept 2024) Note: ID + grid + 3" carrier`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 16 at 0414, open carrier, should be enough direct to detect modulation if any, from pirate Hikari FM or whatever (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 98.5, Sept 16 at 0559 UT, Enid translator is // 99.9 KVBN-LP. This is a change for the 98.5 source, no idea when it happened as I seldom listen to either but 99.9 had a joint ``KVBN`` ID for both frequencies. This would be news to FCC and WTFDA. FCC FM Query still claims 98.5 K253BC, licensed to Paul Regier, relays KGVV which is 90.5 in Goltry, 14 kW, ``The House of Praise / The Love Station``. Goltry is not far away and hardly needs a translator in Enid. But KVBN gets a stronger 250 watt signal on 98.5 than 78 watts on 99.9. Both WTFDA and FCC show 98.5 & 99.9 at considerably different coordinates. But the WTFDA FMDB shows 98.5 K253BC relays KLVV 88.7! Hardly: that`s in Ponca City, once a semi-local signal in Enid but now blocked by another translator here. Are translator licensees free to change their inputs without notice? I searched the WTFDA FMDB only by city: Enid, so I see some other wrong info: 93.1 K226BR of KIMY 93.9 Watonga has been OFF THE AIR for many years. So what if it may officially still be licensed? 96.9 KQOB quit relaying KZLS 1640 a few years ago; Freedom 96.9 is not also on MW, as 1640 became // 1390 KCRC with sportstalk. 96.9 tho licensed to Enid is in effect a full-power OKC station, site closer to there than here. Several other local signals are missing since they are licensed to outlying towns: besides gospel huxters, 95.7, 97.7, 106.3, same group as 107.1, 96.9, 1640, 1390 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, 17715, 15520 but still not 15390, Monday September 16 at 2159, token English from SNR after 2200 timesignal accurate to WWV, S9+20/30 on 17855. Preview interview to be about tourism in Spain this summer, problems in Balearix and Barcelona, with director of World Tourism Organization. News leads with two Spaniards detained in Venezuela, wrongfully accused of spying and planning assassinations. I think they said some Americans were also involved (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.001-, Sept 15 at 2200, no signal from VOT English into UTwente: BUT cuts on carrier at *2201, no modulation and off at 2202*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. They tried to start and failed again. Signal was only S9+15, weaker than usual, but would have been sufficient. Nor did it resume later in the hour. So we miss this week`s `Letterbox`, if there were a new one, and I also missed checking for the possible final repeat after 0300 on 7275 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sept 16 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS and English IDs, S9+10/20 direct. 2223 into UTwente when measured, S9+45 during `The Energy Agenda`. 2224 music. 2227 more music. 2232 `That`s Why`, about the Hittites who flourished in Anatolia, 1600-1200 BCE, and after a few mins, more & more music. 2252 headlines: Gaza death toll 41,226, and *rump not assassinated. 2253 s/off as if the 1230 on 17620 and IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs, until 2258.3* chop. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed Sunday September 15 at 2158 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003 at S9+5 and much stronger than // 6160.001+, JBA S7 with disturbed conditions. Also confirmed Sunday September 15 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+15/25 into Georgia SDR but with lite RTTY warble underneath. Immediately followed `cello music with no ID break. Also confirmed UT Monday September 16 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday September 16 from 0300.7 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929, S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, following Johnny Lightning who gotta go and an insert about contacting Scott Becker. Also confirmed Monday September 16 at 1935 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001 at S8/S9 and 3975.003- at S9/+5 into UTwente. Next: 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

Something`s botched at Bethel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** URUGUAY [and non]. 28350 USB, Sept 16 at 2210, CX5TMJ switches from English to Spanish for contact with YN9H, Henry in NICARAGUA, also audible but weaker. QRZ.com: ``CX5TMJ Uruguay flag Uruguay, Dino Alejandro Gómez Pérez, cx5tmj@gmail.com, Castillos, Rocha, 27200, Uruguay`` with lots of photos of equipment, flags. ``YN9H Nicaragua flag Nicaragua, Henry Arauz Ubeda, Sacramento, Jinotega, JI, 65000, Nicaragua`` - already logged Sept 6, 2024, q.v.
