** CHINA. 7410, Oct 25 at 1523, JBA pop music, S9/+10; 1527 maybe
Chinese talk, continues 1530+. EiBi and Aoki show CRI Japanese via
Jinhua 831 site. Also on 7410 at this hour, Iran in Arabic via Zahedan
site. I`m checking whether anything still audible on 7 MHz band this
late. 1523 UT = 0851 LMT, and today`s Enid sunrise was 1248 UT, some
2.5 hours earlier. No sign of RNZP on 7440 now, to be 7390 from Oct
29. Not quite the OSOB: see 7300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 7300, Oct 25 at 1525, JBA music and talk at S4/S6, past
1530+. Aoki & EiBi show both in Mandarin, R. Taiwan Int`l and CNR1,
i.e. jamming. Only broadcast signal still audible this late on 7 MHz
band except 7410, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 11985, Oct 25 at 1516, humroar obscuring

at 15-19, per Aoki & EiBi, neither shown as jammed as this seems to be
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Wed Oct 25 at 2200, token English from SNR is
slightly better here off the back to ME, S9+20/30 vs 17855 direct to N
America, S9+10/20. Begins with Amy Egan giving the new sked for
``winter`` from Oct 29, broadly but no details about English, who
cares? which will surely become M/W/F only at 2300-2330. Notably she
cites the African frequency as 17755, rather than 17775 which has been
widely publicized by AER sourced to REE itself; which is wrong? HFCC
agrees it`s 17755. It also includes a number of frequencies which are
never mentioned, must be alternates but not labeled as such woodenly:
21620, 15500, 15390, 15110, 11940. The ``new`` HFCC website is now
intercepted by a warning as certificate has expired as of today:

new promo marking the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic, which
will be Oct 29. 2212 `Whipping Piles` about the gig economy for jobs.
2240 outro `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring`, something about
honey. 2250 100th anniversary promo again; after s/off, 6 notes of IS

a few seconds later slightly weaker S5/S8 at *0629.4 in unID language.
Per EiBi this is BBC in French via VATICAN, then Hausa via ASCENSION.
There is another of the latter preceding at 0529-0600. I can never
recognize Hausa; are there any keywords like in IDs or other clues we
can use? I don`t know if they axually utter this, but ``this is the

on at 0658 check. Replies:

``Re: [WOR] 7830 oddity --- I think it is 7828 USB, the audio is
properly centered then. There are odd short breaks in the strange echo
but seemingly random. Quite strong here, maybe a KIWI TDOA will shed
some info. MARS stations just came on 7831 USB at 0400 UT. Don Moman,

``Don, did a single quick TDoA at 0509 and I get western Alabama:
32.90, -87.90. Your Kiwis were all occupied, and the Prince George one
is always busy. 73, Walt Salmaniw, BC``

``I checked at 10 UTC (10/24), and found it was much stronger and
steadier here on 5714 kHz than 6830 kHz and 7830 kHz, so a location
fairly close in to North Carolina such as Alabama at around 500 miles
or so would makes sense since the skip distance on those upper
frequencies can get quite long in the fall heading towards winter.
However, I checked back 19 minutes later at 1030 UTC and it was much
stronger on 7830 kHz than before and stronger than it was earlier on
5714 kHz, so I'm not sure. The transmission source may be varying
power levels and antenna target locations. I was no longer hearing it
on 5714 kHz and 6830 kHz at 1030 UTC so I couldn't compare against
those frequencies at that time. It was still on 7830 kHz and and not
audible here on 6830 kHz and 5714 kHz at 1108 UTC.

Note: I, gh, have not heard nor tried to hear this on any of the other

on the WOR iog:

``I heard something similar around 7830 kHz at 0517 UTC. It stopped at
0534 UTC. Very strong signal here in southern Ontario. I did a quick
check of online SDRs and it was audible at a good level right from the
west coast to the east coast. I got the impression it sounded like a
very distorted radiofax signal with a lot of echo. John VE3CXB

``It is on 6830 KHz again today (10/20). I first checked for it around
0250 UTC and found it on 6830 KHz with an S9+10 signal, then it
stopped at 0301 UTC, but started again at 0304 UTC. I checked 7830 KHz
at 0335 UTC and 5714 at 0337 UTC and did find it there too. It isn't
on 6945 KHz unlike on 10/18 when it was. It is still on as of 0415 UTC

You`ll understand why I`m hostile to Cuba?

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 22 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into
nearby SDR, already at 0300, about 20 minutes into so started way
early circa 0240, the nominal 0315v, so would have been finished by

interrupting a word or thought of mine. He also has to cut my opening

there be music on a clip? I don`t let that influence what I may

** U S A. 3215, Sun Oct 22 at 0705 check, WWCR is off. Program sked
now shows this WWCR-1 is off every night, 05-11 UT, while 5890 WWCR-4
TOMBS is off only on M-F and indeed it is on now and producing the
usual leapfrog mixing product over 5935 WWCR-2 on 5980 (Glenn Hauser,

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Oct 21 at 1753 tune-in via
Argentine remote, LRA36 already on, S5 talk not just music; 1755
contact info; [lunchtime for me]; 1828 recreation of LRA36 when it was
on 6030, 1968-69? 1843 IDs; 1844 multi-lingual canned IDs including
English; 1856 quoting Horacio Nigro`s La Galena del Sur blog from
Uruguay, about LRA36. Too much else going on Saturday afternoons to
listen to this for five hours straight! But some further chex: At 1918
I change to Brasil SDR. But there it does not sound quite right at
.98; maybe best at 15476.15? But SDR must be miscalibrated as on WWV
15000.000, it says carrier -106 Hz! On some SDRs can`t find a carrier
to zero in on. Even with good modulation level, carrier at Brasília is
JBA and hard to pinpoint. About 2000 mentions expecting a special
program from Adrián Korol at 6 pm [=21z]. 2002, historic recording of
first? contact between Antártida and Malvinas. 2041, it`s up to S7/S9
at Bsla. 2126, ID with frequency, current temp +5, a heat wave. 2256
next check seems off. Is anyone hearing them any other days at 15-17?

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, R. Kiribati: still not getting any trace of it
direct; so I am trying via Oahu SDR which last season got it as early
at 0430 UT, circa sunset there and on Xmas Island to the south: Oct 21
at 0435, nothing audible or visible on the H2Ofall, yet SAM synch lox
onto a carrier displaying +0.4 to +1.1 Hz averaging +0.8. Don`t see
how it could be anything else from Pacific or Asia, let alone Europe.
At next chex 0523 & 0555, there is a JBV fuzzy carrier, still nothing
audible, and variation slightly greater, plus/minus 2 Hz. Some or all
of that could be instability of receiver; or partly transmitter; or
unstable propagation. Will keep checking periodically. June 8 at 0658
was the last time I logged a JJBBA carrier direct (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Oct 21 at 0518 UT, K17JN-D, the multi-channel 3ABN
satellator in Enid is still black and silent two weeks after first
noted October 7. One suspects the 7DA aren`t very serious about their
broadcasting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

English, VG S9+15/30 signal and good modulation too into UTwente, news

multilingual ID filler reel. 2211, music. 2216 travelog to Izmit,
which is on an inlet just ESE of Istanbul, not to be confused with
Izmir; music. 2229 `Gripping Piles` about warm temps in Antarctica,
short pants wearable due to climate change, 18 March 2022, hot humid
air blew in from Australia. 2232 more nice music. 2237 recipe for
making jam from eggplants, on `Turkiye`s Geomarked [sic] Products`.
2240 music. 2246 always-by-your-side promo, music. 2249
with-you-every-hour promo, music. 2253 s/off with usual defects. 2254
about 6 notes of IS before chopoff* No finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK,
