Hauser
** 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

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.

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)

** 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;

** 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,

** 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

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)
