** BRAZIL. 6107-6127 approx., Oct 5 at 0205, extremely distorted blob,
can`t specify a peak point, hyper-enthusiastic Brazuguese talk, like
futebol play-by-play. It`s RNA, totally missing from 6180 leaving that
clear for MWV Madagascar in Spanish. By 0211, manage to match mod
peaks to 11780 which sounds OK on separate radio. Something`s bollixed
up at Brasília!

Ron Trotto was first reporting this as unID into IL on 6115. That`s
approaching local midnight at 0300 UT; do futebol games run that late
in Brasil or is it a playback? Next check at 0240, both are off:
previously logged chopping off air during programming at 0230* rather
than nominal 0300*. Ron Howard replies:

``The only major sports event found in Brazil (Rio De Janeiro)
tonight, as noted on online, was the Volleyball Men's Olympic
Qualification Tournaments, with Brazil vs Ukraine. Final score -

** CANADA. From Richard B Langley, NB: ``Hi Glenn: Just a minor
nitpick of your last program. Miramichi is actually pronounced as
mir-a-mi-SHEE. Not so it rhymes with Don Ameche. Another weird
Canadian``

Richard, Tnx, please don`t hesitate to correct/enlighten me about any
further mistaxe. I do tend to default to penultimatism u.o.s. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2211)

** FRANCE [and non]. 6100, about MiniTransAt, we`ve been calling this
a yacht race, but I note that word does not appear on the homepage
when translated to English. These are of course, sailboats, unmotored,
right?? That`s the point of the race. I suppose there is some ideal,
not very large size, for speed, yet able to grab plenty of wind.
What`s a yacht, and what`s nacht? It seems American usage is quite
different from elsewhere. Huge luxury vessels also called yachts.
Google translate indicates that if they have to say it, the French use
the English word (Glenn Hauser, landlubber, WORLD OF RADIO 2211)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 5 at 0649, S9+40 of dead air yet again from WRNO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, WTWW: Update from George McClintock as of 0200 UT
October 6. Not on air last night or tonight. Problem is the remote
control which had been reliable for years, is not working. Will have
to download the program and install on a different computer. Bob
Biermann agrees to wait until next Monday night = UT Tuesday October
10 at 0100; but possibly could start earlier if the remote is working.
He can also handle the PPP feeds. SFA in Colorado still wants to sell
it; maybe in a couple months. If so, George hopes to retain access to
one of the transmitters. One of the antenna fields to be combined with
neighboring property for greater value over $ 1 million (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 5 circa 0645, no signal from R. Vanuatu. As also
noted by Ron Howard: ``Radio Vanuatu - Oct 5, tuned in at 0644 UT,
expecting to hear them on 7260, as they normally switch frequencies
from 7260 to 3945, at 0658, but not today; already on 3945 at tune in;
0659, promo for the Vanuatu TV program "Morning Show"; 0701, start of
news. Wonder when they started broadcasting on 3945 today? Ron
California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2211)

This report dispatched at 0240 UT October 6

** CHINA [and non]. 11895, Oct 4 at 0640, S1/S3 direct, mixture of two
signals with beat, so this time it`s CNR1 jamming plus RFA Mandarin
via SAIPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 11860, Oct 4 at 1457, R. Martí with whine QRM, more
of a problem here than Cuban noise jamming, i.e. the defective Sa`udi
transmitter of Republic of Yemen Radio; no doubt assisting the Cuban
jammers in the target area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Oct 4 at 1454, JBA music, presumably
current frequency for Recep`s Turkiyeish jamming and/or Dengê Gel, via
Uzbekistan? On interior longwire due to storming (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Oct 4 at 2208 after news, token English from SNR,
feature interview about an exhibition on ``Feminine Power in Art and
Belief``. VG direct, others 17715, 15520, 11670 hardly usable (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 4 at 2202 & 2230 chex, NO signal direct from
VOT English; something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: NOT confirmed,
Tuesday October 3 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, rather 2-month-old #2202 from
early August! WRMI`s new server setup began Oct 2, and was supposedly
going to continue airing latest 2210. The previous airing at 0030 Oct
3 was also #2202 as noted by Richard Lemke.

``9395 kHz, an Old edition of WOR is played, S9 signal, static QRN,
0032, 0034, 0045 (45443), 0059, October 3 UTC 2023 [Tue]

Beginning UT Oct 4, I have made sure the remaining airtimes are really
latest 2210.

** U S A. 5085, Oct 4 at 0000, no signal yet from WTWW, supposed to
reactivate now; but *0010 cuts on JIP PPP SFA. For some reason,
Maryland SDR will not synch on it, But NH SDR displays frequency
within 0.5 Hz. Tuning direct it`s VG and also has reactivated JBA spur
carriers approx. plus/minus 12.9 kHz = 5072.1 & 5097.9, negligible but
utenoise circa 5098 might have a complaint about it. George McClintock
tells me there were more startup problems with program feed, and
Bishop Bob Biermann would not start yet tonight. Indeed, WTWW ID at
0100* and off.

Similar report: ``Hi Glenn! I sat on 5085 kHz on Oct 4 at 0000 UTC
waiting for WTWW to sign on. Not hearing anything, I thought once
again the station was having some issue getting on the air, so I tuned
out at 0005. I tuned back in at 0013 and the Pastor Pete Peters Show
was already in progress. At 0100, a male announcer read a five-second
ID “This is WTWW, Lebanon, Tennessee, USA”, which was followed by ten
seconds of guitar picking, perhaps an intro into a new program, before
the signal abruptly ended. I tuned out at 0102. Steve Howe, Saint
Albans, Vermont``

24 hours later, UT Oct 5 at 0000, standing by 5085 again for WTWW, no
signal yet; still nothing by 0010 as I wrap up this report (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 4 at 0627, S9+20 of dead air again from WRNO,
maybe will revive later with Mandarin as has been reported. One
wonders what kind of audience they expect on 20 degree beam, still
available 22-16, and never-used 15590 at 16-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Oct 4 at 1820 UT, I`m QRX for the much publicized nationwide
emergency alert test: tuned to 91.7 KOSU, 740 KRMG, 12160 WWCR. First
heard on 91.7 saying it runs from 2:20 to 2:40 pm Eastern; a few sex
later on 740; 550 KFRM slow on uptake if ever; not heard interrupting
a SW station -- who cares about that?! However, it was over in much
less than a minute, stations resuming programming, as I hurriedly
scanned some other AM stations. As for what happened on cell phones, I
have no idea. Big deal? TV also on some cable channel, unknown as
can`t monitor everything at once. However, Optimum had warned us
yesterday this was coming and might have to reset cable tuners. There
was no real-time msg about this in my email inboxes, nor spam folders
-- who cares? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0013 UT October 5

** CHINA [non?]. 11895, Oct 3 at 0638, Chinese at S6/S9. This is a
regular around this hour bandscanning, so I finally look it up: RFA
via SAIPAN at 03-07 per EiBi, of course also CNR1 jamming. In this
case suspect it`s really Saipan, do not hear a second signal, but if
there be timepips at hourtop 0600 or 0700, it will be CNR1 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11520, Oct 3 at 1524, JBA signal[s], nothing else
in the 11.5s, presumably the Turco/Kurdo radio war (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Oct 3 circa 1530, the high line noise level has
diminished and become more intermittent, cutting on and off. Still
worse around 7 MHz than higher bands. In previous report about signals
breaking thru it, R. Martí, after 0600, should read 7335 & 7435, not
7365 & 7465 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 3 at 2200, VOT not off the air today, S9+35
into UTwente, at first not too distorted; after news, 2211 `Review of
the Turkish Press`; 2212 ``with you every hour`` promo; 2213 music;
2216 ``always by your side`` promo, `Weekly Commentary` voiced by the
badax, ``penned`` by undecipherable name, now also heavy distortion,
something referring to history in the 90s: I give up trying to
understand it. 2224 `every hour` promo *again*. 2225 distorted music.
I`ve had it, over to `NBC Afternoonly News` on KFOR RF 27. Not
rechecked until 2256 when it`s already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Re my report Sun Oct 1 at 2030, VOA French on

to Ms., just Mme and Mlle?``, Richard Langley, Nouveau-Brunswique [hi]
replies:

``Correct. In fact, these days, as I understand it, Mlle is deprecated
since women shouldn't be formally categorized in salutations as to
whether they are married or not; men aren't. The French government did
away with Mlle in addressing women in official correspondence in 2012.
All women are now addressed as Mme. Same goes for Canada. -- Richard

** U S A. 9330, Oct 3 at 1439, no signal from WLCR via WBCQ-6. Wonder
what`s wrong now. Also absent earlier at 0159, but that was just for
antenna rotation, as back on from *0200 at S9+15/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

suppose distance traveled and/or remaining, in nautical? miles? 1541
introes music, rock playing until 1557* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Oct 2 at 1522, only JBA carrier frequency

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Oct 2 at 2206, token English from SNR, after news
a feature on winners of the San Sebastián International Film Festival,
VG S9+5/20 into Maryland SDR, none of which we are familiar with. 2212
about a local book fair which had to keep moving locations, interview
with someone from present Cuesta de Mollanos, a quiet corner with no
traffic, source for rare books. Other three frequencies, 15520, 17715,
11670, on and readable but weaker, much better on 17855 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 1 at 2205, VOT English not off the air
today, but only poor S8/S9 into UTwente where it should be inbooming.
On contrary, much further Maryland SDR gets it much better, S9+10/25,
agrees it`s +9 Hz; but lo-fi, overmodulated & distorted as the badax
is speaking at 2235; pass.

11785.009, Oct 2 at 2205, VOT English VG S9+50 into UTwente, but

2030-2100 broadcast via Grimesland is only on Sat & Sun. But 15185 in
French both days, 15730 in Hausa on Saturdays; VG signals. So the

** U S A. 4840, UT Mon Oct 2 at 0500, this WWCR goes from VORW to
quick ID to: Arabic! again at another of the scheduled times for `Your
Firm Foundation`, as first encountered in Arabic at 1530 Saturday on
13845. As I said then, nothing on WWCR sked or program website about
anything in Arabic. I listen closely to the opening, but no
recognizable English words of introduxion, rather right into a dialog,
seems drama also with musical background, including at 0505, ``Allah
Akhbar`` repeated -- better watch out, this is allegedly a Christian
station!

Still no Oct 1 program sked update posted -- until recheck at 2220.
Now labeled Oct 1 but same listings for this as in Sept except
2105-2200 Wed on 9350 rather than 2100- once I have corrected their UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, Mon Oct 2 at 1526, WWCR-4 is off the air, contrary to
online Sept 1 sked which shows a M-F break from TOMBS at 17-21 UT,
i.e. erroneous for 16-20 real UT, while TOMBS was supposed to be ON,
M-F at 14-16 real UT. Ditto on the just `updated` Oct 1 sked.
Something`s wacko at Walterboro and/or notvoicing via Nashville (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 2 at 0633, WRNO still modulating with gospel rock,
S9+38. Wolfgang Bueschel reports later: ``Check at 0847 UT, WRNO heard
