Hauser
** EGYPT [non]. 9440, Oct 16 at 2217, no Cairo direct, just BBCWS in
English which is via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES. Something`s amiss at
Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6200, Oct 16 at 0655, JBA carrier, probably Hikari
FM, the pirate in NW Mexico, which has been silent for quite a while.
First time I`ve heard a trace checking almost nightly. Now nothing
from other possible pirates on 7300v, 7320.

Then Ron Howard reports: ``[WOR] 6200 kHz. (pirate) testing again ---
6200 AM - For a long time I had not been hearing any Hikari FM
(pirate) signal and assumed he was having transmitter problems. Then
on both Oct 15 and 16, I heard an open carrier with good signal
strength (0450+ UT). Sent an email to the operator of Hikari FM,
inquiring if I was correct in assuming he was testing again. Here is
his reply, with the good news that he plans on returning to the air
before too long with actual audio. Ron (Calif.)

"Yes, I am having problems with my amplitude modulator. I need an
audio amplifier to modulate it. The previous modulator got very hot
and it was very inefficient which led to its failure. Right now the
setup is a modulation transformer and I am building a class E audio
amplifier. This setup allowed me to step up the power a little. The
carrier is on because I will be doing some testing and pretty soon
will be back on air with music. This is if all goes by plan. There is a
lot of new music that will be coming and another reformatting with
now separate time for electronic music and another time for Jpop.
Thank you very much for your support! Best regards."``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Oct 16 at 1955 UT, NO open carrier signal, no $
icon, so KOCD Okeene is finally turned off - but who knows whether
permanently this time (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local but useless TV signal
is *still* black and silent but at normal strength, Oct 16 at 1858 UT
check. Apparently there is no great demand for 3ABN and subnetworx; in
fact, I doubt many Enidians know it exist, or that it`s our very own,
should scantuning hit on it and save. Yet there are three 7DA churches
here, one of them in Spanish. 3ABN is on an upper tier ch 370 on
Optimum cable, likely directly off satellite rather than RF 17, as
it`s labeled -E, implying there be also a 3-hour delayed -W feed. Hmm,
before this went black there were crawlers warning of a change of
satellites. Online 3ABN program sked displays automatically in GMT
like my computer, including still rerunning `AWR360 Broadcast to
Baptism`, Saturdays at 1930, UT Thursdays at 0330 (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9955, Oct 16 at 0701, TOMBS still via WRMI,
but modulation is crackling; also with Cuban jamming. Tnx a lot!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Oct 16 at 2200, token English from SNR still
holding up VG direct, S9+20. 2207 feature is interview with an
Uruguayan author of a book about survivors of a plane crash in South
America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 16 at 2200, VOT English not off the air today,
in fact just as big a sig direct as 17855 Spain, S9+10/20, but
modulation somewhat distorted, worst during music at 2223. Heavy
accent only makes it worse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
But 2256 check, already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Next airings of WORLD OF RADIO 2212:
0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [NEW]
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW; also web-, phonecast; jammed?]

** VANUATU. 9960, Oct 16 at 0656, R. Vanuatu ID in passing, S3/S4
direct, with some ACI from 9955 WRMI even with USB tuning. Cuts off
about 0658.7* for presumed QSY to 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0020 UT October 17

Hauser
** BRAZIL. 5940.184, Oct 16 at 0214, JBA carrier presumed R Voz
Missionária; 5935 WWCR not too strong now. Not to be confused, I hope
with this: ``5940.19, Oct 9 at 0639, PMS audio on a discrete spur in the
sideband of 5935 WWCR; no match on the minus side`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Oct 16 at 0215, RHC dead air at S9/+10 or trace of JBM
presumably English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9880, Oct 15 at 2212, Esperanto, so it`s CRI as
sked via Kashgar, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems. Note, it`s only Commies which speak Esperanto on
SW! with Cuba. What would Zamenhof say? He died on 14 April 1917y,
just missing the Bolshevik Revolutsiya. AFAIK not one gospel huxter
uses Esperanto: audience would be too smart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, Oct 15 at 0211, jazz at S6/S9, 0235 more
like soul vocal.

These reports say it was Two Dog Radio until 0219*
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119544.0.html
followed by: Sycko Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119547.0.html
and followed by a third one on same 6930 at 0253 I did not hear:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119549.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 4930.6, Oct 16 at 0003, JBA carrier direct, surely the new
station reported since Oct 6, on this frequency offset, R. Pitumarca,
Sicuani, via R. Surandina. But nothing there at 0018 when checked via
Bonaire SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 15 at 2211, NO signal from VOT into UTwente;
so per Craig Tyson`s advice, checking:

9875, the 2030-2130 English frequency which sometimes stays on thru
2300 --- There is something S9 locking on at 9875.003, but modulation
sounds like whispering, unreadable and can`t even guess the language.
Maybe that`s TRT. Or VOK in Mandarin, also sked this hour. No, this is
not splash from an adjacent, nothing on 9870 and 9880 has EAST
TURKISTAN, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2212 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 15 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+17 with
slight QRM from understation, Qur`an? so Iran sked until 2020. Also
confirmed on WRN to Europe webcast and WRMI webcast.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 16 at 0045 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S7/S9 into Bonaire SDR. This was not on last week so I removed it from
sked. Good thing I thought to recheck. So, what happens next week?

Also confirmed UT Monday October 16 at 0306 about 4 minutes into so
started circa 0302 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 -68 Hz as displayed later
at 0354 by Maine SDR. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [NEW]
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW; also web-, phonecast; jammed?]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search: whoopee, the
`season` is back, able to detect a few on two receivers, three
different antennas; despite line and other noise levels, Oct 16 at
0231 on 855, 1044 and two beating on 1053. At 0247, 855 and 828. At
0305, 855 and 1053. Not making any airtight claims, but: 855 & 828
both have 100 kW Ethiopians. 855 more likely RNE Spain synchros. 1044
has 10 & 20 kW from Spain but 200 kW from Ethiopia. 1053 Talksport UK
synchros up to 500 kW, but also 50 kW Ethiopia -- the country common
to all 4 frequencies. WRTH 2023 has no sked info, but this would be
around 6 am local, likely to be on air and skipping out westward circa
sunrise. MWlist shows 828 // 855 // 1044 all R. Ethiopia, 24h. 1053
is R. Oromiya not until *0400, but Talksport is 24h.

Method: I scan the entire MW band with the new R75 set at 9 kHz steps,
USB tuning 1 kHz below each: thus, 1 kHz tones/hets on TA frequencies
stand out except of course those ending in -0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1430 kHz, Oct 16 at 0233 UT, strong open carrier/dead
air dominating at S9+10, occasional dips to S9. No stations in OK or
nearby have favorable night patterns thisaway, but several ND day
patterns + failure to modulate make this intriguing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 3365.1, Oct 15 at 0017, JBA carrier direct. See previous
report of R. Cultura Araraquara special test definitely heard via
remote in Brasil on this offset frequency. Was to run until 0200;
recheck via Brasília at 0228, it`s off; to return nevermore? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11820, UT Sun Oct 15 at 0023, Chinese opera, S9+10/20. Don`t
understand a word or note but nice to listen to for a while till
fading by 0040 to S7/8. I sure thought it was Mandarin, but listed as
CRI Cantonese this hour only to SE Asia from Xianyang 59 site (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Oct 15 at 0046, dead air with some hum at S9+30/40 from
CRI relay; then, bits of mod trying to break thru: wiggle that
patchcord! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Oct 15 at 0047, dead air at S9+20/40 with some hum;
something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Hardly Chinese opera, but when that fades I`d better
check for pirates on Saturday night: 6950-USB, Oct 15 at 0049, S8/S9
sounds like oldtimeradio drama; distracted by another on 6955-USB, so
tuning forth and back. At 0051, 6950 is talking about SCOTUS as if in
a documentary. 0104 in music. Meanwhile I switch to real music on
Encore, 5850 WRMI, missing first few minutes. 0154 recheck, both
pirates off.
Many more reports of this as Zeeky Radio:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119455.0.html?PHPSESSID=6hp79h89693npsmd8sb74umf67
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, Oct 15 at 0050, right next to another
pirate on 6950, music I would call ``trance``; 0056 cut to SSTV which
presumably contained an ID but not for me; 0057 back to music; 0103
announcement maybe attempt at ID but all I catch is ``listening to
me``. And over to WRMI 5850 for Encore. 0154 recheck, both pirates
off. Many more logs with SSTV images, but unID:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119459.0.html?PHPSESSID=6hp79h89693npsmd8sb74umf67
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11860, Oct 15 at 0040, huge loud hum, S7/8, obviously
the Republic of Yemen Radio transmitter which has been thus for
months; cannot hear any Cuban jamming against nothing under it. They
must be totally incompetent at site, but which? Aoki says Jeddah, EiBi
says Riyadh, HFCC says nothing, WRTH UD says Riyadh: the winner.
Perhaps Ed, the American ``navydude`` DXer who lives there, could clue
them in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 365 MCW kHz, Oct 15 at 0650, JBA non-Canadian beacon, or two
mixing, hard to differentiate, but I think I hear AA, which is 100
watts from Fargo/Harwood ND; heard before, last Feb 22. Many other
tantalizing NDB carriers vs the high line noise level (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. UT Aug 27, 2023 at 00-01 on WRMI 5950, Texas Radio Shortwave
presented recordings off WRNO air by Mick Delmage, Alberta of two
WORLD OF RADIO editions from 1986, #322 and #342 - almost complete,
the second one slightly short for time. Many thanks to Terry Colgan
for this recognition. A few weeks later, TRSW suddenly suspended
operations. I hope Terry is OK. Now available this nostalgia as
broadcast on WRMI:
https://www.w4uvh.net/TRSWWOR1986.mp3
A special QSL was offered, but should not be requested now from
listening to this. It may be viewed however at:
https://www.w4uvh.net/TRSW_World_of_Radio_QSL_WRMI_Hauser.pdf
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2212 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday October 15 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S5/S7 into Bonaire SDR with
some noise, maybe jamming.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 15 at 0317 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
about 8 minutes into so started early circa 0309. Next:

1030 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [also webcast, phonecast; jammed by Cuba?]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, Oct 15 at 0019, no signal from WRMI; still off at
0200, but rock music on 9455. Aoki shows 5050 at 22-04 with Legends,
EiBi at 01-04. WRMI Legends blox are more convoluted also involving
9395. Aoki has also failed to delete long-defunct WWRB from 5050
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Oct 15 at 0019, no signal from WTWW; I guess it
be irregular, not always starting at 2300 or even 0000. Next check
0200 it`s on, Biermann ID as Ancient Word Radio -- another AWR! and
Truth2Ponder saying next week expects to add live services from the
little church he founded in SW VA, and repeat in evening. Evidently
will mean reactivating 9475 at least on Sunday mornings (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

Sunday, October 15 2023

Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Oct 14 at 1853, LRA36 is on, S3/S5
into Argentine SDR; 1900 credit Eduardo calling from Spain; 1903 a
museum at Marambio Base; 1908 multilingual RAE ID; off already at next
check 2208. But 2308 recheck, on again, with multi-tones interrupting
song, or part of it? Rather seems to be QRM, deliberate, repeatedly.
Problem at SDR -- same wideband thing every 2.5 MHz or so from 0 to 30
MHz on H2Ofall! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 3365.10, Oct 13 at 2312, JBA algo into Argentine SDR, could
be R. Cultura Araraquara, following this tip via Paul Flanagan, BDXC
which I passed on to the WOR iog:

``From DX FANZINE: "Very interesting breaking news from Brazil. From
21 to 02 UTC this evening Radio Cultura Araraquara will make a
transmission attempt on 3365 kHz with the apology of the eclipse
experimentation. Looks like the actually intention is to check if the
transmitter, which has been turned off for a while, is still working.
It’s worth checking if it’s true and if it happens."``

3365.077, much better S7/9+5 when I can get onto Brasília SDR, 2316
song; 2319 sounds like jingle ID but uncopied, another song. 2326
frenetic announcement maybe included ID. 2328 more of that, 2329
``Cultura FM``, ads with lots of phone numbers, finally mentions ``em
Araraquara`` - hardly ``cultural``, IMHO. Some more explicit IDs to
2339 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 6115, Oct 13 at 0640, strange music sort of chanting, not
expected from R. Nikkei, but it`s too late for Congo; and 0700 in
Japanese; better signal direct than the other Nikkei on 6055. Date
correct, omitted from previous report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Sat Oct 14 at 2029, REE outro for `Amigos de la Onda
Corta`, media- if not DX-program. Must be at 2005 or so, VG direct
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 14 at 2227, VOT English is not off the air,
VG S9+45 into UTwente, with `Gripping Piles`, something patronized by
Recep. No time to listen more, but still on at 2300 opening German to
chopoff at 2301* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 FM, Oct 14 at 1514, discussion of beetlenut squash
between complete fadeouts, no doubt KMK282, Stockton/Sacramento CA
with studio feed from KOVR or KMAX TVs.

CA 10m beacons are also in as recently logged: 28300 K6FRC, and 28244
WA6APQ; among others (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28243 CW, Oct 14 at 2007. dash and VVV DE AA1SU/B. WI5V
roster: ``28.243 AA1SU C ESSEX JUNCTION, VERMONT # 5W, DIPOLE OTA
after 5 yrs off 13 Dec 2022`` -- that can mean two polar opposites.
QRZ.com:
AA1SU/B USA flag USA
PAUL N GAYET, 11 CHERRY STREET, ESSEX JUNCTION, VT 05452 -- but
nothing about his beacon. Many others audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2212 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday October 14 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9/+30 direct, and still not
on 7730 // as WRMI sked keeps claiming.

Also confirmed Saturday October 14 at 1645 the NEW 1630 on WRMI 15770,
good into BSR1 caradio on eclipse expedition.

Also confirmed from 1935 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S7/S9 into

** U S A. No luck on daytime MWDX during the Eclipse, 1620-1640 UT Oct
14. Drove NW of Enid but could not get far enough to escape horrible
line noise. Would have required advance scouting even further for
quietude. At least we saw the bite projected thru a pinhole (Glenn

** CHINA. 13530 & 14920, Oct 13 at 1457, CNR1 music jamming Sound of
Hope, S8/S9 just before 1500*; while two other obvious ones, 13020 &
15920 are JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 15690.035, Oct 13 at 1500, bandscan direct hits an obvious
frequency deviation, estimated 15690.04, talk with no break at
hourtop. 1520 checking via UTwente with more precise measurement as
above with ME music. It`s R. Farda, American clandestine for Iran,
listed as Biblis site, a USAGM one often askew. No break at real
hourtop, since Iran imagines it`s hourbottom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Oct 13 after 2200, token English from SNR, VG
into Bonaire SDR, and just as good on 15520 for ME; After news,
2208-2211 report from Beirut, Lebanon correspondent summarizing what
we already know about the Hamas/Israel war. 2212 interview prof from
DePaul University, Chicago about the situation, criticizing Spain`s
government for not denouncing Hamas, unlike other western nations
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 13 after 2200, VOT English not off the air;
in fact VG signal S9+40/45 into UTwente and VG modulation for a
change. 2216-2220 `Review of the Turkish Press`, also about Topic A;
music; later, `Weekly Analysis` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U A E. 15310.118, Oct 13 at 1503, JBA carrier direct, way
off-frequency, first estimated at 15310.13, then displayed by UTwente
as above; calibration of that checked vs WWV 20000 reads only 1 Hz
high. At UTwente can hear it`s Arabic. EiBi shows BBC this semihour
only, the token revival for Sudan after cancelling all Arabic earlier.
DHA site is really sloppy in frequency accuracy, reflecting poorly on
its clients (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``My 10 Meter Propogation Beacon at Rose Lake transmits on 28.2165 MHz
at 5 watts. It's pretty much always on with a couple of deep cycle
batteries for power. The transmitter is an old Realistic HTX-100. The
antenna is an A-99 vertical. The keyer is an ID-O-Matic by N0XAS. The
receiver in the HTX-100 smoked, literally, years ago but the
transmitter just keeps on going. I have a small fan in back of the
radio to keep things a little cool. For me part of the fun of having
the beacon is playing with antennas. So far it's had a loop, dipole,
and verticals 8', 17', 31' and 120' long. Bill, WJ5O is sort of the
USA Beacon Guru. His website has everything you've ever wanted to know
about beacons and then some. http://www.qsl.net/wj5o/
I really like knowing if the beacon is getting out and to where, so
please drop me a email or QSL if you happen to hear it`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

``NG7I/B beacon is at 28.230.8 Mc running an IC-706 w/Picokeyer at 5w
to a Hy-Gain Penetrator 500 at 20'. Send me a QSL and I'll send you

``The KA3JOE beacon operates continuously on a frequency of 28.248.7
Mhz, at a power level of 5 watts. The transmitter is an HTX-10 fed
into a half wave vertical at a height of 10 meters. I would perfer a
good, old fashioned, tree killing, non-electronic QSL, SASE to my QRZ
address, but I will also respond with an email promptly. It's more fun
to receive QSL Cards in the regular mail.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Oct 13 at 1525 and again/still at 0052 Oct 14, WLCR
via WBCQ-6 is OFF the air. Wonder what`s wrong now. See UZBEKISTAN
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Oct 13 circa 2305, WTWW not on air, but is upon next
check 2320, apparently another late start (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UZBEKISTAN. 9329.930, Oct 13 at 1523, gospel music at S9+15 into
UTwente; I`m checking how WLCR via WBCQ is making it to Europe.
Incredibly this is way off-frequency. In fact, local check finds WBCQ
OFF, nothing else audible here. But UTw: 1527 Korean announcement.
EiBi shows clandestine CMI V of Wilderness, via Tashkent. WRTH shows
religious, by Cornerstone Ministries. Off at 1529* and still no WBCQ.
When both be on, must be quite a collision in Europe if not Korea
