** CUBA [non]. Oct 7 at 2220, NO RHC signals anywhere: 15230, 15140,
13780, 11950, 11760. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [non]. 9440, Oct 7 at 2115 and after 2200, no signal from R.
Cairo sesquihour in English. How long has it been since anyone heard
it, even dead air? At least other stations courteously keep it clear,
China between 2100 & 2300; BBC not on until 2200. The A25 mostly?
imaginary R. Cairo sked:
https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A25&broadc=ERU
All are on 9 MHz band, no doubt an antenna limitation. Any of the
others ever heard? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. Oct 7 at 2025 UT, several cable TV channels
freeze or go to black, via Optimum [sic] in Enid. No apologies or
stand-bys on screen, but probably solar transit outages affecting the
particular satellite they feed through: MSNBC, CNN, HLN, USA at least.
By 2030/2031 they begin to melt/resume (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28183 CW, Oct 7 at 2204, VVV XE1RCS/B - familiar beacon but
still missing from WGB roster; see my March 31 log for 28182, at Cerro

singing lullabyes but Karen includes some talk about her background as
an immigrant adoptee; dozing/deadair starts this time at 2014. 2030,
mod resumes with SWR ID and upbeat music until 2100 when there is no
outro. But into Feature Story News. Unclear whether the second
semihour be part of `Night Air`, but sked implies it`s a daily full
hour, nothing else at 2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** POLAND [non]. 17790, Oct 7 at 2201, this WRMI still on with PRES in
English, mistake? Unknown for how long but gone by 2217 check (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

English, but on by 2219 with music, S9+10 with flutter direct. At 2247
into UTwente when measured, S9+40/45 with music. Something`s always
awry at Ankara: 2254 s/off still imagines it be the 1230 broadcast on
17620, and IS. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler: 2256 restarts
IS with German IDs. 2300 TS and s/on German for two broadcasts, not
this one! Finally turned off at 2314* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BELIZE. 28495 USB, Oct 6 at 2211, V31ZA call only uttered several
times, must be trying to reach a more DX station in pileup. QRZ.com:
``V31ZA Belize flag Belize, KEITH SLATER, P.O BOX 76, San Ignacio,
Cayo, Central America, Belize`` - is into animal rescues (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE [and non]. 28422 USB, Oct 6 at 2210, CE7VP, Patagonia,
southern Chile, finally utters own ID after several quick contacts
with USA like K2HCW in NJ. QRZ.com: ``CE7VP Chile flag Chile, Javier
"Javi" Capdebilla A., P.O. Box : 42, Quellon, Chiloe Island, 5790000,
Chile`` - I logged him before, Apr 25 at 2210 on 28433.065. 

Quite a few other sigs now on 10m, both phone and beacons not relogged
such as WN2A/AK2F, AA1TT/B, XE1JAL/B. Way up on 28750 USB, QSO sounds
like Ozes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, Mon Oct 6 at 2222, RHC Spanish, S9+20/30, slightly
better than 11760, S9+20/30 undermodulated, while 13780 is S9+20 but
JBM, 15230 deadair or trace of mod S9+20. 11950 is the rarest of
these, probably limited hours. Not in current EiBi, but in Aoki M-F
23-24 only from Bauta. That was winter timing IIRC for the TV audio
relay hour of `Mesa Redonda` but now // the mainstream RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Oct 7 at 1858, RHC music, S8/S9 into Maryland SDR but
with squeal equally on both sides, transmission defect, SAWA, making
interesting display on H2Ofall, symmetrical bands out beyond
plus/minus 5 kHz, not avoidable even by AM-narrow tuning, LSB or USB.
1900 ID, 1901 open English, never giving frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 13605, 11930, 11860, Oct 7 at 1642, R. Martí/LV del
Trumpismo not off the air, blasting into Fort Lauderdale SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 3975.001, Oct 6 at 2000 after WOR, kept listening to SW
Gold Radio via UTwente, while 6160 had just about faded out, for the
Lullaby show, Karen Werner`s `Night Air` live from Bergen, Norway:
soft singing until 2017, then dead air -- or to put it more
positively, *quietude* as of course by then we are supposed to be
dozing, and I almost am. A daring new concept in broadcasting! 

At 2030 revivifies with ID and some more quiet instrumental music;
2045 another ID and more upbeat music. 2100 `Letterbox Show` as sked
Mon & Sat 21-22; Sat 12-13 on 6160, Sun 14-15 on 6160, Fri 17-18 on
both 3975 & 6160, Fri 23-24 on 3975 as per: 
https://shortwaveradio.de/en/week41-2025
but playing music along with greetings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** POLAND [non!]. 17790, Oct 6 at 2159, WRMI gospel huxter // 15770,
but after cutting him off for ID at 2159.5, at 2200* 17790 goes off
rather than WRN relay of PRES as happens sporadically at least for a
portion of the 1-hour program. Something`s odd at Okee (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Oct 7 at 1807, this REE frequency for ME is finally
reactivated after weeks of silence, in Spanish, S6/S9 into Maryland
SDR, // 15390 for Africa much weaker and // 17715 for S America much
stronger - but STILL missing 15500 the N American frequency! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 6 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS & IDs in
English, 2200 TS and s/on, previews, S9+20/30 direct (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U K O G B A N I [non]. 9915, Oct 7 at 0627, the 0601 BBCWS news
fairly audible via ASCENSION, 4 words behind relay via RNZP 11725 with
much stronger signal - despite BBC`s best efforts to prevent North
Americans from hearing them on SW. Per EiBi & Aoki, 06-07 is the only
hour that legacy 9915 is now in use anywhere; for central Africa
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2315 monitoring: confirmed
3975.002- at S9+5 and 6160.001 S9/+10 with usual RTTYditty on plus
side requiring narrowed bandwidth if not LSB tuning, into UTwente,
Monday October 6 at 1931 with WORLD OF RADIO 2315; 6160 almost fadeout
by end, followed by the Lullaby show, see GERMANY. 

Also confirmed UT Tuesday October 7 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 into S
Texas SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday October 7 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, JBA S6/S9
direct.

Not confirmed Tuesday October 7 at 1425 the 1400 on even weaker WRMI
9955, JBA, but probably. Next:

2000 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160 [except Oct 8];
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;

Hauser, I am sending this donation to help continue your great work in
promoting our hobby!``

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1420, Oct 7 at 0701 UT, ``CBC News`` attributed, sounds
like, but no Canadians here in NRC AM Log nor any *non-comms in US
which might be carrying it; then 0702 ad mentioning Mississippi Valley
Fairgrounds; and ``News/Talk 1420 WOC`` ID, same station? WOC
Davenport IA, the usual dominator here of 1420. In Log pp 259-260, I
don`t see any network with similar letters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1360.27 approx., Oct 7 at 0706, JBA het against 1360.0
stations. Estimated not by direct readout, but comparing het pitch in
AM, with a frequency offtuned in USB. IIRC a recent report elsewhere
of such, but can`t find it now. Nothing so far off, of course, on
mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7672-7726 approx., Oct 7 at 0632, very wideband
multitonal carriers beating against each other, barely missing 7730
WRMI; what`s it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10009 USB approx., Oct 7 at 0628, mix of voices here,
one yelling sort of English, not on exact same frequency. Klingenfuß
2022 says it`s an AMS frequency = aeronautical mobile service, with no
further details, like 10006, 10012, 10015, 10018, 10021, 10024, 10027,
etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
