Glenn Hauser logs September 15-16, 2024  View Printable Version 
Tuesday, September 17 2024

Hauser
** 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?];

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, Sept 16 at 0422, S8/S9 of dead air except for some
hum, instead of dead EJOM, i.e. WMLK. 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.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 15 at 0418, RHC English S9+50 direct but
overmodulated/distorted. It`s always something wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Sept 15 at 0421, CRI relay only S8 and JBM = just
barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 & 15140, Sept 15 at 1501, for the record, Sunday-only
RHC Esperanto missing from both known frequencies as to be expected. I
expect the first airing at 0700 has also been missing; what about the
third airing Sunday afternoons at uncertain time and frequency? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 15 at 0423, Station YHWH pirate is S6/S8
but undermodulated so JBA. Somewhat better still on at 0520 when I can
make out a few words (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 780, Sept 15 at 0414 UT and later, WBBM Chicago in
the clear, no daytimer KSPI Stillwater on air tonight unlike last
night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO [and non]. 391 MCW kHz, Sept 15 at 0535 UT, ND beacon
DDP, 2000 watts at San Juan/Dorado - Luís Muñoz Marín Intl AP. Tuning
upward, first copied at 389 USB, audible only on E/W loop into R75.
Great to hear this again, one of few such remaining active beyond
North America. My last previous log:

``391 MCW kHz, Dec 31, 2023 at 0418 UT, DDP, 1 or 2-kW NDB at San
Juan/Dorado, again at 3677 km = 2284 stmi. Must be alert for 369 ZDX
Antigua, 323 TAB T&T``

But current RNA list shows ZDX 369 last logged 2024-02-19; and TAB 323
Trinidad last logged 2024-08-25 with ``0`` watts. Are there any others
in Caribbean, Central or northern S America still active? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 14 at 2214, VOT English not off the air,
S9/+15 into UTwente, considerably weaker than normal but sufficient.
`The Energy Agenda` is underway until 2218 music. 2222 multi-lingual
ID filler reel. 2224 song. 2229 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` repeat
about copper handicrafts from Marash(?). 2236 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music. 2241 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2246
multi-lingual ID filler reel AGAIN this hour. Something`s always awry
at Ankara. 2248 music. 2252 s/off as if the 1230 on 17620. 2253 IS to
2255.7* chopoff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ND beacons audible tnx to lowering noise level - only S7/S8
and improving conditions, Sept 15 at 0522-0527 UT on NRD-545 with E/W
longwire:
329 MCW, PMV, 25 watts at Plattsmouth NE, last logged Jan 28, 2024
344 MCW, JL, Joplin MO, 0 watts in RNA list = I suppose, unknown
power, `Lunns`
353 MCW, LI, Little Rock AR, 400 W, `Lasky`
356 MCW, ODX, Ord NE, 25 W
After 0535, I compare on R75 with E/W loop; different results:
251 MCW, AM, Amarillo TX, 400 W, `Pande` -- but see PUERTO RICO!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
September 14 at 2300 on WTWW 9475, VP S8/S9 into UTwente, so not aimed
at Europe? ACI from 9470. At 2259.5 had dumped out of PPPP for ID and
WOR on time. 9475 of course VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Sunday September 15 at 0005 the 0000 on WRMI 9955.
Bonaire SDR not available but I see on Kiwimap a new? one in
Cundinamarca, so try it: good, S9+10/20. It reads 12 Hz high for WWV
and me.

Also confirmed UT Sunday September 15 from 0315, the 0315v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, right on nominal time! S9/+15 into KM4RT SDR near
Memphis; S9/+10 into W8BUG SDR Knoxville but which lax a waterfall.
Next:

Also confirmed Sunday September 15 at 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.995, S9+5 into UTwente across Europe.

UNIDENTIFIED. 711 kHz, Sept 15 at 0540 & 0546 UT, only hit in a full
9/kHz bandscan for JBA TA carriers - presumably El Aaiún, Morocco 300
kW, a.k.a. Western Sahara - unless it`s a Cuban +1 kHz spoiler like
631, 891 and 1141 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOTSWANA. 5925, Sept 14 at 0412, rock music, poor signal, need LSB
tuning to minimize the hash from 5935 WWCR. EiBi shows it`s merely VOA
English at 0300-0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 14 at 0411, R. Rebelde is OFF rather than merely
dead air. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 14 at 0414, RHC English S9+30/40 but distorted.
Unfound on any other frequency such as 9700 or 15230. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 3955 & 6070, Sept 14 at 1915, Channel 292 with `From
the Isle of Music` featuring classical music for a change; that sure
is nice. From Cubadisco 2024 award winners. I notice that the two
frequencies are several sex out of synch, why?: 6070.001+ and
3955.002- both S9/+10 and equally noisy into UTwente with considerable
fading. At least in synch mode, 3955 has intermittent het but can`t
locate it to a specific frequency by side-tuning. Need to narrow
bandwidth, unfortunately. 1933 inserts Ch 292 IDs in German and
Spanish by YL voice, AI? She also solicits more funding for more power
and/or more than monthly programs. It seems UBill is playing
commercial - pardon the expression, recordings with labels, in what
format, CD? Repeats at 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 14 at 0418, pirate YHWH is JBA with
undermodulated talk, S8/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 780, Sept 14 at 0401, WBBM is getting heavy
rock music QRM, must be cheating DAYTIMER, KSPI Stillwater, better on
E/W loop than N/S shortwire. I try to // translator on 94.3 into
DX-398, but tropo is up from Kansas, Bott owning channel. Still at
0419, S9+10. (I do get the real separately programed KSPI-FM on 93.7
with RDS stuck at tune in: ``ILLWATER``, indeed! later scrolls to
``STILLWATER`S SPI 93.7``). Back to 780 at 0648, still rock vs WBBM,
and 0651 ``94.3, Stillwater`s alternative`` non-ID, so that clinches
it. I assume they also stillcall themselves ``Pete 94.3`` after the
OSU ``Pistol Pete`` politically incorrect mascot. Perhaps only a
campus shooting there would make them reconsider. Anyhow, licensed as
D1 250 watts -- ND daytime ONLY. WBBM is ruined here but the
Stillwaterians are totally blocked from hearing one of few genuine
all-news stations remaining (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Sept 14 at 0713, JBA carrier, obviously SIBC
in absence of 5025 Cuba. Might become listenable if I were up later.
Honiara sunset today is 0717 and near-equatorial, varies little during
year, 0708/0735 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday September 14 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, VG direct. As usual
followed by about a minute of music before cutoff 0330* without ID or
sign-off announcement.

Also confirmed Saturday September 14 at 0955 the 0930 on WRMI 9455,
S5/S8 direct: can only check this one when I happen to awaken during
that semihour.

Also confirmed Saturday September 14 at 1441 the 1430 on SW Gold
Radio, Germany, 6160.000+, S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday September 14 at 1600 on WRN North America
webcast. There is always a several-second pause between their intro
and my start; not a problem but I wonder why, as there is no initial
deadair on my files.

Also confirmed Saturday September 14 at 1737 the 1730 on SW Gold
Radio, Germany, S9/+5 on 6160.000- with ACI from 6165; and S9+5/10 on
3975.002+ into Utwente.

Also confirmed Saturday September 14 at 1930 on WRMI webcast only, and
WRN North America webcast.

NOT confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, nominal 1930v Sat Sept 14: This
Week in Amateur Radio still playing by 1955 when remote in IL times
out, which I am having to use since usual nearby one in Warrenton MO

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Sept 14 at 0655, Mexmx again in the mix with WHSQ, KRVN
and English gospel huxter, probably KHAC AZ/NM. 0702 non-ID ``La
Tremenda`` so it`s WIJR, Highland IL, slogan as in NRC AM Log, U4
1700/160 from just east of St Louis MO, day and night patterns toward
SW, away from NYC - yes, always an obstacle to WCBS here, but now it
no longer matters! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 760.06 approx., Sept 14 at 0407 LAH = low audible
heterodyne on plus side of 760.0 stations like WJR/KCCV. Nothing
nearly that far off in mwoffsets list (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 14 at 0353:
only 855 in full 9/kHz bandscan, and it`s really JJBBA, presumably
SPAIN. So many of the UK and Spain MWs are deceased or depowered.
MWlist still shows 9 RNE synchros here up to 100 kW 24h but also
hipowers in Romania, Ethiopia, Sa`udi Arabia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 970, Sept 14 at 0359, Spanish dominant, mentions
``faul`` so a béisbol game or sportstalk about it. In NRC AM Log, only
two USA SS listed, neither at all likely, silent in Florida or
religious in Maryland. So Mexico: IRCA Mexican Log has four, headed by
Radio Fórmula flagship XERFR Mexico City, 50/5 kW and only one other
maybe, XEJ Juárez, Chihua2, 1/1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6938 AM, Sept 14 at 0416, S9/+10 open carrier. Is it a
pirate or a ute? Nothing currently in HF Underground. Ricky Leong,
Alberta, also had this Sept 9 at 0503 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6070-, Sept 13 at 0700, CFRX but a JBA carrier in disturbed
northerly propagation rather than usual reliable signal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CANADA [non]. Re my log of CY9C: Experience the CY9C DXpedition on
the rugged and remote St. Paul Island, located off the coast of Nova

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 13 at 0651, S9+40/45 of dead air in Spanish from
R. Rebelde. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 13 at 1449, S5/S8 of suptorted Spanish, I think,
about all that`s left of RHC, where something`s always very wrong
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15590, Sept 13 at 1452, informal M&W conversation
about how a taxi driver managed without GPS, American English so has
to be CRI; yes, as sked via Urumqi, 308 degrees to Europe, the SSOB,
S8/S9 but with very heavy flutter. The GC path to Enid from Urumqi in
the northern lobe of E.T., passes only a few degrees on the Russian
side of the North Pole; while Kashgar site in the western lobe of
E.T., passes only a few degrees on the Greenland side of the North
Pole (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 13 a 0258, Station YHWH, anti-Christ
pirate is JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 13 at 1455, JBA carrier on the
signature frequency of that pirate last known as Hikari FM, allegedly
just across the AZ border in Mexico. The op told Dan Robinson he
hasn`t decided what to call it next when he gets stuff fixed and
powered up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Sept 13 at 0642, ``News on 6`` KOTV promo for
Dallas Cowboys radio network on Sunday afternoons - so is apparently
not 100% TV audio simulcast. But why broadcast the enemy? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [non?]. 11935.8 approx., Sept 13 at 1457 direct, S4/S5
nothing but chirps audible, Iranian jamming? Cannot pin on an exact
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, VG direct, also 17715, 15520 but 15390 still off, Fri
Sept 13 at 2200, token English from SNR. 2202 news about strained
relations with Venezuela as Maduro`s winning opponent has taken asylum
in Spain. 2208 feature interview about an exhibition in Santiago,
apparently the one in Chile, stemming from the ship Winnipeg which
transported refugees from France to Valparaíso in 1939 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005+, Sept 13 at 2159, VOT IS at S9+20 direct but
extremely heavy rapid flutter, 2200 s/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620.
Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2221 into UTwente when measured
S9+55 without flutter, `Turkish Folk Tales` about the Woodcutter and
the Bear; 2227 music. 2231 ``always-by-your-side`` promo and `That`s
Why` repeat from last week still about lithium. 2241 TRTVOTVorld in 41
languages promo, music. 2246 ``always-by-your-side`` promo again,
music. 2251 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, s/off as if 17620, awry and
off by 2252* and if there were any IS it was very brief while I was
distracted. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 18163-USB, Sept 13 at 2205, W6A calling CQ Route 66 On the
Air, from Santa Mónica, says running 700 watts, lead station of
special event? Pronounces it ``Rout`` rhyming with doubt, so why isn`t
it spelt Roubt? After zero activity on 28, 24 and 21 MHz bands, first
phone signal I find. QRZ.com:

``W6A USA flag USA, Route 66 on the Air 2024 - Santa Monica, Post

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Fri Sept 13 from 2345, into
usual NH SDR: 6160 VP, no sigs on 3265, 5130 NOR 7490!! Something`s
wrong with this Kiwi. Switch to Maryland instead: there, 7490 -72 Hz =
7489.928 is VG S9+10/20 with FKB; 6160 -72 = 6159.928 is S5/S7 with
TOMBS; 5130 & 3265 agreeably OFF. So a rerun is likely. Listening to
7490-, after FKB wraps up, we hear a re-echo of his last words several
sex later. NO ID, no disclaimer, and rough start to playback of last
week`s AAAWWW wherein he starts saying ``beaming, not streaming``.
Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010, Fri Sept 13 at 0650 UT, this WRMI-14 is off instead of
usual BS; but 9955 WRMI-3 is JBA S6/S8 at 0657, maybe deadair instead
of RFI Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, Fri Sept 13 at 0259, WRMI-4 with S9+30/40 of music so
presumably resumed `Legends` after previously only carriers on 5050 or
5051 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, Fri Sept 13 at 0259, WRMI with S9+30/40 of dead air.
Self-contradictory info on WRMI skedgrid: #10 transmitter 5800 shows
System D RAE Argentina at 0200-0300, System B Freedom Synergy Radio at
0300-0400. But RAE schedule shows nothing at this hour. System D shows
R. República at 0200-0300 UT Tue-Sat on 5800; System B shows Slovakia
in Spanish at 0230-0300, Prague in English at 0300-0330, on 9955!
Maybe FSR came up later after 0300 as usual on 5800, and previously
has been //9955 in yet another sked mismatch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935, Sept 13 at 0653-0654+, deadair from WWCR, longer than
typical pregnant pauses while DGS is lighting up a cigar (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810, Sept 13 at 0637 UT, dead air atop a weaker music
station, presumably the normally dominant WHB Kansas City (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Sept 13 at 0638 and 0710 UT, Spanish music in the
mix; 0708 think I heard ``Nuevo Mundo`` which would be TGJ Guatemala,
vs ESPN which would be WHSQ NYC ex-WCBS; and usual KRVN Nebraska. But
there are several US SS stations listed, most likely KJOZ Conroe TX.
New IRCA Mexican Log shows only one on 880 but it`s silent in
Chihuahua. TGJ was one of my early memorable DX catches (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9529.1 USB, Sept 13 at 0658, 2-way in Spanish, cambios,
whistling. Hardly any broadcast signals on 31mb to be bothered (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0223 UT September 13
