** CANADA. 28170 CW, Oct 14 at 2204, 10m beacon band really hopping,
also phone, too many to attempt logging much. Here is VVV DE VA3XCD/B
CAMDEN -- not bad for one sesquiwatt per WGB list: ``28170 VA3XCD/B -

KQCV OKC, from XEERG NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Oct 14 at 0303, anti-Christ pirate, Station

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Ont 14 at 2159, S9+30/40 direct, and stronger as
it should be than 17715 & 15520, token English from REE, 2200 preview
to be interview about a theatre which won a yearly National Award,
located in the Lavapiés [? wash-your-feet] neighborhood. No time to
listen further (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9875.004+, Sunday October 13 at 2047, VOT English starting
`Letterbox`, S9+15/25 into UTwente. I`m getting this early in case the
2200 on 11785 be AWOL, and even if not, conflicting with otherstuff I
want to get then. At first there is some CCI on 9875, presumably Korea
North but stops about 2050. That supposedly resumes at 2100 but not
noted then. Halil starts by saying we are entering spring - he means
fall as he is in the northern hemisphere, it`s getting colder, and his
name means Yellow Rock. 1) Otto Schultz, jokes as if nickname for
Ottoman, small handwriting of 7/26 report from somewhere in USA, also
listens to German service but can barely hear it, also several
reception reports in same letter. 2) at 2055, Miss May ???, Sichuan,
China. 3) at 2057, Dick/Richard King in England, hopes TRT will not
stop SW. Now there is rapid clicking QRM, OTHR? 4) at 2100,
handwritten from Shanyang Kan?, China, 2 reports, wants 2 QSLs. 5) at
2103, another one from same. 6) at 2104, Ricky Hein, South Dakota,
says he has no internet, no computer, got 11785 with 15111 SINPO!
wants program guide and QSL. 2107, out of time, goodbye and music not
program theme as I tune out.

11785, Oct 13 at 2200, weak signal pops on, visible at UTwente, but
soon gone, so another try-but-fail to North America. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler.

7275, Oct 14 at 0258, IS & IDs in English, INTRUDER, S9+30/40 direct
but with LSB QRhaM. Presumably this final repeat succeeds.

11785.007-, Oct 14 at 2158, VOT IS & English ID, S9+30 direct; 2202
olds; 2215 music; 2217 `The Energy Agenda` starting with tolls one
year on, in Gaza and Lebanon, before getting into ME oil. 2231 into
UTwente when measured, S9+25. Recheck 2245 music. 2254 s/off as if
17620 at 1230 - something`s always awry at Ankara. Do all those
announcers have no idea the 1230 recording is repeated over and over?
2255 IS, 2256 restart IS with one German ID before 2256.6* chop.

Also confirmed Sunday October 13 at 2157 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.003-, S9 into UTwente.

Not confirmed Sunday Oct 13 at 2330 on WRMI 7570 as that transmitter
is still off the air following H. Milton.

Confirmed UT Monday October 14 at 0041 the 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+8
into Georgia SDR, S9+15/20 into Maryland SDR. It`s aimed WSW, so I
look for the KiwiSDR at McAllen TX but it`s missing. Besides TWR
Brownsville, which has always been poor, there is now one, NA5C
designated `Rio Grande Valley` but really at Encino TX, which is in
the middle of S Texas, about midway between McAllen and Alice to the
north, and midway between Zapata on the west, and the Gulf coast.

Confirmed UT Monday October 14 at 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 6159.937,
S9+10 direct but VP vs noise level. 0327 into NH SDR, S9+10/20 on
6159.930 with RTTY 6164 ACI.

Confirmed Monday October 14 at 1958 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio,

** U S A. 9475, Oct 14 at 2330, this WTWW is still off air; the other
transmitter dedicated to TOMBS is on 9930 now, and already around 1530
check. However, by 0214 UT Oct 15, 5085, the nighttime counterpart of
9475, is on the air as well as 5920 counterpart of 9930. A while ago,
George was announcing that 9475 would be running Pastor Pete Peters at
3-5 pm CT daily = 20-22 UT, but if so, one would expect it to stay on
with something until QSY time at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, Oct 14 at 0311 UT, song with lyrix I can`t comprehend,
so in Diné/Navaho? soon ID as ``KTNN, Window Rock - Tohatchi -
Shanto``. Must again be cheating on ND 50 kW day pattern, but kudos
for the frequent shameless IDs. The third town alternates among
various places in or near the Res. Then a regular C&W tune. This time
some CCI in English, probably TX or NE not NY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, Oct 14 at 0620 UT, `Red Eye Radio`, surely KKOB; NRC AM
Log shows only one other RER on 770 but a daytimer + FM in AL. KKOB`s
FM is not a translator on 96.3, originally the domain of classical
KHFM, where I worked while at UNM 1965-1968.  I also recorded there a

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Oct 13, 2024 at 0558-0606, the ``keyboard
alfabet`` station is back! My nightly routine has including
bandscanning from 8900 to 10125, since 10125 occasionally catches
Aussie hams in USB phone instead of CW; and also the keyboard station,
not heard for ages, and supposedly quit because license expired and
was not renewed. It`s exactly the same thing he was sending over and
over last year, including signature errors! ``QWETYUIOIX ASDFGHJKLÑ
ZXCVBN VVV DE HK3QQ BOGOTA COLOMBIA`` or starting with VVV. NOTE that
R is omitted, P is missent as X, and M is also omitted. My previous
significant logs, all FROM YEAR 2023! starting here with last time
previously heard:

2023:

2023:
** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, April 20 at 0635, once again the strange
station sending keyboard letters slowly in sequence: ``QWERTYUIOX
ASDFGHJKLÑ ZXCVBNM`` and then much faster: ``VVV DE HK3QQ BOGOTA
COLOMBIA`` --- note the error? of X instead of P, like reversed dits

D F G H J K L --- Then faster VVV DE --- and I don`t copy any ID. Then
resumes with: Q W E R T Y U I O --- Is this default of some software,
or done deliberately? This is of course in the so-called 30m hamband
as I am listening for VKs on phone in this area (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CUBA. 11860 & 11930, Oct 13 at 0552, pulse jamming against nothing,
R. Martí frequencies never on air at night, duh! So altho RHC can
barely get two frequencies defectively on air, the greatest priority
of jamming nothing survives! Std remark about undernourished Cubans
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. Re: "More importantly, where`s XEW? Remember when it
owned 900 at night, 250 kW? IRCA Mexican Log 2024 says it`s 24h
100/100 kW still on AM; but current mwlist and consequently WRTH 2024
still claim 250 kW, and another Mex on 900, 10/2.5 kW, XEOK Amor
Monterrey, which is totally missing from IRCA Log (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)"

Tim Hall replies: ``I checked my notes and found that XEOK turned off
their AM on or before May 2020. A listener in Monterrey reported the
shutdown of the AM to one of the many Mexican radio Facebook groups
that I follow as I try to keep the Mexican Log up to date.`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11960 AM, Oct 13 at 0553, English talk about Timishoara,
must be RRI; it`s the SSOB at S5/S9, hardly anything else on 25m
beyond JBA carrier from France 11700. HFCC lists this as 90 kW at 300
degrees only for WEu from Galbeni:
https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A24&broadc=RRO
These versions refuse to show what`s DRM and what`s AM, but reduced
power is dead giveaway that it`s supposed to be DRM; master frequency
list does mark it N for DRM. But it`s NOT! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 7730, UT Sun Oct 13 at 0100, `Encore` classical
music hour from R. Tumbril via WRMI; is 44 degree beam, so best
remotes for it are in Maryland, S9+5, and slightly better Georgia at
S9+10. This airing is supposed to be on System F, 5850 only, but
that`s one of few transmitters still not recovered from Hurricane
Milton, so I check 7730 on a hunch, as skedgrid used to show
5850//7730 on same system during this hour but was wrong. Sked now
claims System L at 0100 UT Sunday on 5950 // 7730 with `Pop Shop
Radio`, but that`s really on 5950 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, KKOB, tower down by balloon hit: looking at video over
and over about that, something strange. The tower collapsing appears
to be very much in the background compared to the two balloons in the
foreground, as if one of them could not really have brushed it; false
perspective?

As for 770 being off the air, I have yet to see any timeline of
exactly what happened, but: maybe knocked off the air immediately when
tower fell, but it`s the DA tower not in use in the daytime; so if
remained on air, probably turned off shortly for evaluation of
situation and then back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

AZ again on 50 kW ND day pattern despite WFAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, KKOB Albuquerque NM: Oct 12 at 0638 UT, trying to
confirm whether KKOB still be on the air following collapse of one of
two towers in the North Valley after balloon hit. ABQ news reports
said it would still be on air from one tower, despite a subject line
in one DX group, ``KKOB off the air``. I am hearing something in
English but can`t tell if KKOB, since it`s under Spanish, see MEXICO.
Typically in such a case, like KOKC or KAAY, gets STA to stay on at
night, ND but with lowered power.

However, at 0701 recheck, no Spanish, off? But ABC News which fits for
KKOB, per IRCA the only one on 770, and BTW, WABC runs Fox `news`, not
ABC! KKOB also has a 230-watt ND co-channel relay/booster in Santa Fe
only at night, filling in the null toward WABC; elsewhere very hard to
tell them apart unless ABQ be off or echoing, which they ought to
prevent. Walt Salmaniw found another story about this, originally AP:

Nauru/Enid = 10509 km = 6530 stmi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11539.92 approx., Oct 11 at 0322, oriental? music at
S7/S8, no doubt Hikari FM upped 15 kHz from previous channel, and
still signature skewal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1270, Oct 11 at 0649 UT, Spanish, ID with ``107.9 FM``,
music. First thought was KFLC in The Metroplex, but FM match is for
KRXO Claremore OK, as per WTFDA FM DB searching 107.9 for relays of
1270. 107.9 is K300CY in Broken Arrow, 0.15 kW horiz only, ``Ritmo
107.9`` yet not marked as Spanish! Altho 50/5 kW, KFLC is TUDN  sports
format. KRXO is rimshotting into Tulsa market: no relation, other than
ownership, to KRXO FM OKC sports programming on 107.7 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Oct 11 at 2157 before token English, SNR a JBA
carrier direct due to degraded propagation, a smidgin better on 17715
for S America, and worse on 15520 for ME, still no 15390 for Af. At
2216 I check Maryland SDR; 17855 & 17715 both JBA S3, 15320 slightly
better but VP S3/S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.006+, Oct 11 at 2156, VOT not off the air, but only
JB direct, same at 2205. At 2215 into UTwente when measured,
multi-lingual 2-minute ID filler reel in progress, only poor S8/S9,
much weaker than usual due to degraded propagation. Slightly better at
2229, S9, but still insufficient for easy listening. After 2300 did
manage to be off the air rather than Germanizing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WRMI survey Oct 12 at 0106 into Maryland SDR, these
frequencies are OFF: 5850, 7570, 9455. The rest are ON: 5010, 5050,
5800, 5950, 7730, 7780, 9395, 9955, 15770. One more FB entry to those
last quoted:

``Hurricane Update as of 1700 UTC October 11: The frequencies of 9955
and 5050 kHz are operating normally again. We still have a problem
with 17790 and 5850 kHz.  Engineers are working on these`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490 -68 Hz = 7489.932, Oct 11 at 2353, WBCQ S9/+15 into
Maryland SDR during FKB, while 5130- and 3265+ are still off. 6160 -69
Hz = 6159.931 with TOMBS before 2400. 2359, one-minute tone warning
and FKB upwraps; Chariots of Fire tune, canned ID, no disclaimer about
a repeat to follow, and 0000 Oct 12, William Tell Overture theme of
`AAAWWW`. I think Allan says ``yup`` at the start, and later, ``we
have to fight -- for the republic, free speech``, etc. Fumbles for
reading glasses, laments declining sight vision, and right into
politix: no mention of hurricane nor current datestamp. Insulting
President Biden as a ``puppet`` is enough to drive me away. Recheck at
0030 music playing, soon back to talk. I do wonder if A&A stayed in
Deland of Fla for Milton. Here`s a local report on damage there:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, Oct 11 at 0325 UT, huge dominant signal with C&W, soon
ID as ``KTNN, Window Rock - Tohatchi - Ganado``. Far stronger than
neighbors WSM & WSCR! KTNN clearly yet again still on ND 50 kW day
power, take that, WFAN! Possiblizes AZ state for easterlyners. Cannot
find at FCC AM Query or LMS, any link to monthly sunrise / sunset
timetable! Has this been deleted for all stations? I try another one:
KOKC: can`t find that one at all! FCC is really screwedup. Per
gaisma.com, axual Window Rock SS today was 0046 UT. Recheck at 0645
UT, it`s gone, just weaksigs on 660 amid WSM & WSCR at normal levels
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, KKOB, radio tower down again by Fiesta balloon clipping
guywire. As happened before exactly one icosayear ago.
https://www.kob.com/new-mexico/hot-air-balloon-hits-radio-tower-near-balloon-fiesta-park/
Here`s an audiovideo, set to music, isn`t that nice?
https://www.koat.com/article/tower-collapse-video-balloon/62581474
One KOAT report says the downed tower was one they rely on at night.
So that means it can`t go direxional to protect WABC. KOAT TV refers
to KKOB as its ``media partner`` -- ha, long divorced from KOB TV.
Check for it tonight. More bits:
https://www.koat.com/article/tower-collapse-balloon-fiesta-park-2024/62580632

Geez, people don`t know the correct term is guywires:
``"At this time, it looks stable. We have no sagging in any of the
guidelines. The anchors are in place. There is only one guidewire
that's going over one of the anchors from the previous tower that
collapsed. So, at this time, we're we're very hopeful that the second
tower is structurally stable," Harris said.``
KOB, originally, should have known better than to locate its 50 kW
towers so close to an area which would eventually be filled with HABs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1030 kHz, Oct 11 at 0653 UT, ``1030, Talk Radio KFAY``, CCI
from gospel music; a few minutes later, ``NewsTalk 1030 KFAY`` =
that`s U4 6/1 kW licensed to  Farmington AR, but address in
FAYetteville. Why not KFAR? Fairbanx, Why not KFRM? Salina/Concordia
