Logs
** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Oct 19 at 0627, HK3QQ at S5, usual Spanish
keyboard letters with errors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11860 & 11930, Oct 19 at 0630, Cuba fails to jam against
nothing, since there is an island-wide power failure! 5025 Rebelde
also absent, but not unusual even when power is on. Press about that:

2041 GMT Oct 18, New York Times via Brock Whaley, Aiken, SC:
``Power Outage Plunges All of Cuba Into Darkness -- The Cuban
government had just announced emergency measures to reduce electricity
use — then the power went out across the entire nation.

Cuba’s power grid failed and the entire nation plunged into darkness
Friday, less than a day after the government stressed the need to
paralyze the economy to save electricity in the face of major gasoline
shortages and large-scale, regular outages.

The electricity went out nationwide Friday morning after a failure at
a thermoelectric power plant in Matanzas, east of Havana, Cuba’s
Energy Ministry said on X.

The blackout came less than a day after the prime minister, Manuel
Marrero Cruz, held a late-night television address with state
officials to discuss the ongoing electricity crisis, which experts
said was the worst the nation — long accustomed to food and
electricity shortages — had ever experienced.

For weeks, the country has lacked the fuel to run the power grid,
which has left large parts of the nation without electricity for 15 to
20 hour stretches.``

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.896, Oct 19 at 1510, JBA carrier direct from
Hikari FM pirate, allegedly in Sonora; at 1539 into Utah SDR when
measured, correctly calibrated with WWV, music with heavy disco beat,
S9; 1601 pause for quick produced announcement, unreadable but unseems
Hikari ID. Also still at 1916, S8 disco beat = twice per second or
120/minute. See also UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

FM, K288FX, translator of KYLV 88.9 ``K-Love``, from local Enid CB
pirate, first time heard again in a while, but with equally strong
spoiler AM carrier on 27184.91 making huge het, but can be avoided by
LSB tuning. Same on 27224.81 AM with no spoiler.

Also: 27184.50 AM, Oct 19 at 1514 // 105.5 Hallelujah song, no spoiler
carrier but plenty of skip QRM; and also 27224.83 AM (Glenn Hauser,

** TURKEY. 11785.007-, Oct 18 at 2159, VOT not off the air with IS,

UTwente when measured, S9+15/25 but much clearer, with `Turkish Folk
tales`. 2252 s/off as if it had been the 1230 broadcast on 17620 --
something`s always awry at Ankara; 2253 IS; 2256 restart IS with
German IDs to chop 2259* -- something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
BTW, as expected in B24, this shifts to 5960 at 2300 UT (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2265 monitoring: confirmed Friday

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475, October 19 before 0100, WTWW not on air here nor 5085,
but on by 0101 with SFAW? preacher, S9+40/52 direct, so bodes well for
WOR at 0300 --- NOT! 9475 unseems on the air at all lately, which may
nullify the only other scheduled WOR airing Saturday at 2300, which
was missing last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.93, October 19 at 2359, S9+15/20 direct, FKB preacher
gets 1-minute warning tone on WBCQ, quickly wraps up, but then dead
air; Oct 20 at 0000, one canned ID interrupted by another, and finally
Wm Tell Overture theme of `AAAWWW`. Considerable storm noise and I
can`t copy all his interjexions. A&A are at home = Studio 9 in Deland
of Floriduh, right into discussion of Hurricane Milton which hit them
last week, so this one is live, and the Oct 12 one a rerun. Storm
damage there but they hunkered down and were OK with power out for
only 3 days. They were ready with Coleman stove for some hot meals.
Also advises running lamps with charcoal starter fluid. Lots of big
oak trees were blown down, not much damage to own property. HM spawned
137 tornados, one of which went nearby. Angela ``dresses up`` for the
radio - I guess not seminude this time? Thanks God for Gov. Desantis
in a ``MAGA state``. I suspend at 0015. At 0048 reads some Free Radio
Weekly items from last week`s issue as this week`s not in yet,
including ``new`` Hikari FM, my log on 11529.9 but not credited. Runs
a minute overtime, 0101 JIP Hal Turner. Also checked 3265 and 5130
finding no signals, and 6160- was JBA direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Oct 19 at 0625, R. Vanuatu, S7/S8 with announcements
in Bislama; unchecked after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 15595, Oct 19 at 0632, VR in English, S7/S9, the SSOB
along with = 15770 WRMI in Spanish. Lucky me, English quarter hour at
0630 to ME is scheduled Saturdays only per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11515, Oct 19 at 0628, JBA carrier direct, and a
slightly stronger JBA carrier on 11530.02, probably Kurdo/Turko radio
war; see also NORTH AMERICA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

A bunch of AWR logs from Masset, BC  View Printable Version 
Saturday, October 19 2024

Logs
I paid a brief visit to Masset this past week and during this time, I spent
a fair amount of it checking the various AWR transmissions from numerous
sites. Here is a selection of what was heard (and not). All of these,
outside of Guam, cease on October 26th. I'll especially miss the Volondry,
Madagascar AWR transmissions, as reception was virtually always very good.
Any errors are mine alone! 73, Walt Salmaniw

GERMANY 11960, 0302-, AWR Tigrinya Oct 16 Excellent reception in Tigrinya
from Nauen. The only other 03:00 transmission from AWR is a local
broadcast from Madagascar in Malagasy on 6065 kHz. I can see the carrier,
but that's about it from Masset. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

AUSTRIA 11955, 1800-, AWR Arabic Oct 16 Good reception in Arabic to North
Africa. The other listed AWR transmission is on 9900 in Korean from Guam
(100 kW/318 deg), but this one is poor/fair, as there seems to be cochannel
interference (?jamming) and a rumble. Also perhaps it's Radio Cairo's sick
transmitter (that one in Turkish). (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

GERMANY 9780, 2000-, AWR French Oct 15 Fair reception with IS and English
announcement into French programming to North Africa // 9555 (Nauen as
well 250 kW/185 deg) a little weaker. Also on at 20:00 with AWR
programming is 11955 in Dyula language to West Africa at good level
although with a transmitter whistle (Moosbrunn, Austria with 100 kW/210
deg), 11800 in Moore language to West Africa at good to very good level
(Nauen, Germany 250 kW/200 deg), and 9900 in Korean, very poor (Agat, Guam
with 100 kW/315 deg). (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

GERMANY 11790, 2030-, AWR Yoruba Oct 15 Fair reception with IS and English
AWR ID into Yoruba language to West Africa. At same time, French to West
Africa at good to very good level via Moosbrunn, Austria on 15440 with 100
kW/210 deg. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

GERMANY 12040, 2113-, AWR Nigerian Pidgin Oct 18 Very good reception,
although somewhat weak modulation with many English words, giving AWR
address with POB in Nigeria. The only other AWR transmission this half
hour is via Guam in Mandarin at fair level on 11750 (100 kW/315 deg). At
21:30, 12040 switches to Twi language. Interesting that the best SNR
reception is on my 110 deg DKAZ, which just might be off the back end of
the antenna, or via LP otherwise. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

GERMANY 12040, 2100-, AWR Nigerian Pidgin Oct 15 OC with a bit of a buzz,
then AWR sign on at 21:00 with fanfare and announcing Pidgin broadcast.
This is Nigerian Pidgin. Fair to good reception. At same time, 11750 from
Guam (100 kW/315 deg) is in Mandarin but only very poor. (Salmaniw,Masset,
BC)

GUAM 12060, 1530-1559, AWR Tibetan Oct 18 Most days it's in English, but
scheduled in Tibetan on Fridays and Saturdays. Fair reception with
somewhat muddy audio (the speech component). Lots of Tibetan sounding
music. Fair reception. Sign off announcement in English From the
beautiful Pacific island of Guam, this is Adventist World Radio the Voice
of Hope. Now concluding our educational and inspirational program at (?)
100,000 Watts... (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

MADAGASCAR 11850, 1755-, AWR Kiswahili Oct 16 Superb reception (as is so
often the case from Volondry to Masset) with a lovely presumed Swahili
female choir. Listed in the AWR schedule as 'Kiswahili'to East Africa.
Music sounds a lot like Pacific Islands music! To 17:59 without any
announcement, then transmitter cut. During the 17:30 half hour, also heard
were the following AWR transmissions: 17570 in Masai to East Africa at
good level via Nauen (250 kW/115 or 155 deg depending on source...latter
makes more sense), 17725 in Oromo at good level via Nauen (250 kW/145 deg)
to East Africa. Nothing heard on the scheduled Korean broadcast from
Trincomalee on 15530. We now know that the site has been down since late
September. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

MADAGASCAR 11875, 1630-, AWR Somali Oct 15 Unfortunately, a bit of a mess
here due to cochannel CRI Urumqui in Russian. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

MADAGASCAR 11875, 2200-, AWR Vietnamese Oct 15 Superb reception from 22:00
in Vietnamese with a preacher speaking. From Volondry, Madagascar with 250
kW/50 deg. At this hour, also in Dayak to SE Asia on 15320 (poor to fair)
via Tashkent. Mandarin on 9490 (poor to fair) via Tashkent with 100 kW/76
deg, 15625 via Guam (very poor) with 100 kW/330 deg. English 1/2 hour is
not on today despite their schedule of Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday via
Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Confirmed by several Indian region SDRs. At
22:30, Javanese is listed on 15320 from Tashkent, but only a carrier is
seen. Too weak for any audio. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

MADAGASCAR 17730, 1613-, AWR Marathi Oct 15 Best AWR transmission during
this half-hour with lovely Indian music with many mentions of AWR. Not
quite armchair copy but close. AWR is closing most of their broadcasts
after the A24 season ends on October 26th. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

MADAGASCAR 17790, 0550-, AWR Arabic Oct 17 Interesting to listen to this
frequency. Good to very good level to before the top of the hour. The
transmitter cut, and within a minute, on came Nauen with an equally good
level (250 kW/200 deg) with AWR fanfare and into French. //for French was
15220 (250 kw/200 deg) also from Nauen. At the same 06:00 hour, Arabic was
superb on 15560 (100 kW/75 deg) via Moosbrunn, Austria. That was a much
more orderly transition compared to the mess on 17515 before and after
02:00!. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

SRI LANKA (NON) 15625, 2308-, AWR Oct 15 No sign at all from AWR
Trincomalee and confirmed that they were not broadcasting in listed
Mandarin via several SE Asian SDRs. The only other AWR transmission during
this time period is in Khmer on 9700 via Tashkent which is only very poorly
heard in Masset. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

TAJIKISTAN 15515, 0200-, AWR English Oct 17 English is transmitted after
the Chinese dialects between 01 and 02 via Tashkent. However, about 14
minutes before the TOH, presumed Dushanbe came on with a very dirty
transmitter on 1514.89 causing quite a loud hum. The OC remained past the
TOH and didn't leave the channel clear until 02:12. Under Tashkent, one
can easily hear the AWR fanfare and announcing English as the next program,
with Tashkent in Chinese dialect continuing until 2 minutes past the TOH
(02:02). Not a pleasant listen due to the clash. Also someone is sending
CW intermittently on 15513 kHz, starting with 'VVV'. Perhaps my
assertion that the off-channel transmitter was from Dushanbe is incorrect.
Sometime before the BOH (I checked and it was 02:12), that trasmitter cut,
so perhaps it was actually Tashkent all along. Still, the Dushanbe
transmitter is VERY dirty with audible medium pitched whine, as well as a
low frequency warble. Preaching until about 02:45, and then music with a
South Asian bent. At 02:57 the usual AWR multi-lingual IDs, and just
before 03:00, announcing that the following program would be in English.
No, the transmitter cut a few seconds after 03:00. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

UZBEKISTAN 15515, 0100-, AWR Min Nan Chinese Oct 16 Excellent reception via
Tashkent (listed, although I really wonder with how strong the signals have
been both last night and tonight). Listed in Min Nan Chinese which sounds
quite a lot softer than Mandarin. Easier on the ears! At 01:30, AWR
fanfare and in English, announced the following program in Cantonese (also
much less harsh compared to Mandarin). Sources list the same site, but at
100 kW but with same azimuth. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, Oct 18 at 1509, no signal from WRMI, the last one
missing post-Milton? 9455 also absent but has been erratic; 9395 &
9955 are on and audible, also 15770. At 2036, still nosig on 17790
into Pardinho. For B24, WRMI has registered a new one, 17775, 24h at
160 degrees: was old KVOH channel; wonder if RMI be ``holding`` it for
them? Or an alternate for 17790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Oct 18 at 0635, R. Vanuatu back here after missing a
few days, ``island music`` at S4/S6, vs 9955 WRMI S8/S9. But after
0700 moved to 3945 per Ron Howard monitoring remotedly (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11529.96 approx., Oct 18 at 1512, JBA carrier direct,
Hikari FM? But at 1530 no signal into Utah remote. Into UTwente at
1530, S9+15/25 of ME music and talk on 11530.010, Dengê Gel or Turkish
jammer; at 1510, Arthur Pozner reported 11530 with Turkish jammer,
11520 Dengê Gel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Oct 17 at 0638, HK3QQ, BOGOTA with QWETY+
keyboard letters slowly with pauses. Looks like becoming regular
again, 24 hours? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2265)

** TURKEY [and non]. Re VOT on 11785.014- at 2233 Oct 16: ``Glenn, the
"higher offset than usual" you 'measured' using UTwente yesterday, Oct
16, was caused by a malfunction for their AMSync-Function. They were 4
Hz +.

This function is derived at UTwente by using the German Mainflingen
timesignal DCF77 on 77.5 kHz. However this was off for one hour during
late European afternoon from 1315 to 1415 UT, when they returned, they
had some further two breaks in transmission. See attached pic from a
snippet out of yesterdays' UTwente fulltime-waterfall-display. I
noticed this non function of AMSync mode a couple of time these last
years, with AMSync sometimes 100 to 200 Hz away from carrier. It
usually takes a couple of hours for AMSync to be syncronized with
DCF77 again. BTW, Kiwi's use GPS data for AMSync - it is called SAM on
the Kiwis.

See, you logged SW Gold Radio on the 16th as well, with 4 Hz above
frequency {6160.004+ at 1813). Listened yesterday to WOF on 6145.004
at around 1915 UT and thought what`s wrong there. WOF is always "on
spot". As I said in a post before - UTwente is not the 'Gold Standard'
- antenna wise, high noise floor levels and often heavy interference
on certain parts of the band. Cheers from Bremerhaven, Lesley
Illingworth``

So need to check calibration of UTwente against WWV if audible, and
also of KiwiSDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2264 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday October 17 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S5/S7 into Brasília SDR vs
storm noise.

Also confirmed Thursday October 17 at 1630 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.001-, S9+5/15 into UTwente. This time I compare its calibration
to JBA WWVs: 19999999.8 and 24999999.5 - close enough! But later at
1657: 24999998.57/.55v, 19999999.64/.76v

** U S A. WTWW: ``Glenn, Bob forgot to remove my spot about Peters
airtime on 9475. Thanks for the reminder. The 9475 transmitter driver
inductor was cleaned and returned the transmitter to normal operation
at 7 pm Central. We shall see what happens today at 7 pm. There is
always some problem with transmitters. George McClintock 10-17-2024``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11530.01 approx., Oct 17 at 0636, JBA carrier direct on
the plus side, so maybe not Hikari FM which has always been on the
minus side, 11529.9. Probably Dengê Gel or Turkish jammer (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
