** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, Sept 12 at 1503, JBA carrier direct,
presumed Ifrikya FM which was missing yesterday, but now during
almost-blackout K index 7, hardly any other signals on band except
17790 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOTSWANA. 5925, Sept 14 at 0412, rock music, poor signal, need LSB
tuning to minimize the hash from 5935 WWCR. EiBi shows it`s merely VOA
English at 0300-0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

I wonder about source and significance of that art:

``Glenn -- the mural was painted by Ginkym Production Services Inc as
a backdrop for TV series that had an episode filmed here in Hope. It
is on the side of the 'King Pin Lounge' on Wallace Street. The series
is called Untamed and I think it will air on National Geographic TV.
The mural is to honour our First Nations people of the Sto:lo nation.
Hope was also the backdrop for the film Rambo: First Blood starring
Sylvester Stallone forty years ago. He blew up a bridge and our Shell
gas station! They replaced them after shooting the film. Tony Pavick``

** CANADA [non]. Re my log of CY9C: Experience the CY9C DXpedition on
the rugged and remote St. Paul Island, located off the coast of Nova
Scotia, Canada. In this exclusive on-island interview, team member
Craig Thompson, K9CT, provides an in-depth look at St. Paul Island,
ranked 50th on the DXCC most-wanted list. He discusses the island’s
challenging weather, its historical significance, and the
extraordinary efforts required to reach this isolated location,
including the rare use of helicopters. Craig introduces the dedicated
team of operators and details the radio and antenna capabilities
driving the CY9C operation. Gain insights into the leadership and
teamwork that keep the mission on track in such a demanding
environment. As the DXpedition enters its final days, the team
encourages radio operators worldwide to make contact with CY9C before
the operation concludes. Watch the full interview, subscribe to the

** CUBA. Almost all RHC SW frequencies have been missing at various
random chex, Sept 11; maybe 6000 remains. Rick Barton, Sun City AZ,
Sept 10, says spynumbers are also missing: ``We reported weeks back
the return of the Cuban numbers stations, which then promptly
disappeared. If any Utility DXers have heard anything, we'd love to
hear from them. I was still trying to sort out the new schedules when
they went back off. My last recorded log was on Aug. 3. And it was
even before that that they dropped the morning numbers broadcasts from
1600-1857 UTC.``

That`s not surprising, since numbers and RHC obviously have been
sharing same transmitters, now almost all broken. CRI relays maintain
on 9790, Rebelde on 5025 (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2260)

The Other Side: ``The evidence of Cuba’s imminent collapse is
overwhelming --- CIBERCUBA September 9, 2024

It's September 2024, and Cuba is on the brink of a humanitarian
catastrophe. The collapse of the country's industries, infrastructure,
and public services is accelerating exponentially (problems are
multiplying rather than gradually increasing) due to 65 years of
accumulated deterioration under communist rule plus the regime's lack
of resources to fix the country's problems due to its disastrous
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the loss of aid from Venezuela, and
the mass exodus of at least 11.4% of the country's population in 3
years (70% of them of working age). The island's energy, water,
transportation, and health infrastructure could collapse
simultaneously, as they are interconnected and a failure in one could
lead to failures in the others...``

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 13 at 1449, S5/S8 of suptorted Spanish, I think,
about all that`s left of RHC, where something`s always very wrong
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 14 at 0411, R. Rebelde is OFF rather than merely
dead air. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 14 at 0414, RHC English S9+30/40 but distorted.
Unfound on any other frequency such as 9700 or 15230. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 15 at 0418, RHC English S9+50 direct but
overmodulated/distorted. It`s always something wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Sept 15 at 0421, CRI relay only S8 and JBM = just
barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 & 15140, Sept 15 at 1501, for the record, Sunday-only
RHC Esperanto missing from both known frequencies as to be expected. I
expect the first airing at 0700 has also been missing; what about the
third airing Sunday afternoons at uncertain time and frequency? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 3955 & 6070, Sept 14 at 1915, Channel 292 with `From
the Isle of Music` featuring classical music for a change; that sure
is nice. From Cubadisco 2024 award winners. I notice that the two
frequencies are several sex out of synch, why?: 6070.001+ and
3955.002- both S9/+10 and equally noisy into UTwente with considerable
fading. At least in synch mode, 3955 has intermittent het but can`t
locate it to a specific frequency by side-tuning. Need to narrow
bandwidth, unfortunately. 1933 inserts Ch 292 IDs in German and
Spanish by YL voice, AI? She also solicits more funding for more power
and/or more than monthly programs. It seems UBill is playing
commercial - pardon the expression, recordings with labels, in what
format, CD? Repeats at 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CZECHIA [non]. see U S A: WRMI 9955

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15590, Sept 13 at 1452, informal M&W conversation
about how a taxi driver managed without GPS, American English so has
to be CRI; yes, as sked via Urumqi, 308 degrees to Europe, the SSOB,
S8/S9 but with very heavy flutter. The GC path to Enid from Urumqi in
the northern lobe of E.T., passes only a few degrees on the Russian
side of the North Pole; while Kashgar site in the western lobe of
E.T., passes only a few degrees on the Greenland side of the North
Pole (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15445, Sept 16 at 0425, Chinese-sounding songs,
S9+20 with heavy trans-polar flutter, 0430 ID in Russian as P. Китая =
R. Kitaya. Aoki shows 0400-0600 via Kashi-Saiba, E.T., land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. One of
best signals on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. see CUBA [non]

** ISRAEL [non]. 9955, Sept 16 at 0412, WRMI not off the air after
0400 as usually happens UT Mondays, rather English with news about
Israel, Hamas. Must be the WRN relay whose North American service does
contain Israel Radio at 0400-0500 daily. Does I.R. know or even care
that is back on SW? WRMI System B program grid claims internet-only
during that hour. Also Sept 16 at 0647 check, Spanish no doubt RFI
relay hour, which WRMI grid still claims is an hour earlier at 05-06,
internet only except weekends. Need to check what really air at 05-06:
from WRN it would be Prague & Slovakia; and at 06-07 not RFI from WRN
but DW and NHK. 5010 was off this UT Monday as usual instead of TOMBS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Sept 16 at 0416 music and talk, probably
Dengê Gel and/or Erdowan jammer. No other signals in the 11.5s. EiBi
shows site ARMENIA for D.G.; Aoki only on 11535 as Uzbekistan. While
not always on 11540, Gianni Serra also reported this the night
before:

``11540-CLANDESTINE Radyoya Dengê Gel (People's Voice Radio), in

M-F only from 0400 per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA. see URUGUAY [and non]

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, Sept 12 at 0632, JBA S6/S7, sure sounds
like the tones of Josiah on Station YHWH, at a much later hour than
usual; and LSB tuning required because of utehash on the plus side.
EiBi shows only other 7475s: CNR1/Firedrake jamming at 23-24, and R.
Thailand English at 1800-1930. Aoki and HFCC Sept 11 show only
Thailand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2260)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 13 a 0258, Station YHWH, anti-Christ
pirate is JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 14 at 0418, pirate YHWH is JBA with
undermodulated talk, S8/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 15 at 0423, Station YHWH pirate is S6/S8
but undermodulated so JBA. Somewhat better still on at 0520 when I can
make out a few words (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 17 at 0335, anti-Christ pirate Station
YHWH, S9/+10 undermodulated vs storm noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 13 at 1455, JBA carrier on the
signature frequency of that pirate last known as Hikari FM, allegedly
just across the AZ border in Mexico. The op told Dan Robinson he
hasn`t decided what to call it next when he gets stuff fixed and
powered up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 16 at 0414, open carrier, should be
enough direct to detect modulation if any, from pirate Hikari FM or
whatever (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 17 at 0340, JBA S6/S7, finally some
modulation audible direct, music, 0342 announcement seems English but
too weak to copy, 0343 back to music, choral? I emailed to the Hikari
FM address, but no reply yet. EiBi shows location as Choya Bay,
Sonora, which is what the pirate op once said. Or Cholla, that`s just
west beyond Puerto Peñasco on a little peninsula into the Sea of
Cortez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 780, Sept 14 at 0401, WBBM is getting heavy
rock music QRM, must be cheating DAYTIMER, KSPI Stillwater, better on
E/W loop than N/S shortwire. I try to // translator on 94.3 into
DX-398, but tropo is up from Kansas, Bott owning channel. Still at
0419, S9+10. (I do get the real separately programed KSPI-FM on 93.7
with RDS stuck at tune in: ``ILLWATER``, indeed! later scrolls to
``STILLWATER`S SPI 93.7``). Back to 780 at 0648, still rock vs WBBM,
and 0651 ``94.3, Stillwater`s alternative`` non-ID, so that clinches
it. I assume they also stillcall themselves ``Pete 94.3`` after the
OSU ``Pistol Pete`` politically incorrect mascot. Perhaps only a
campus shooting there would make them reconsider. Anyhow, licensed as
D1 250 watts -- ND daytime ONLY. WBBM is ruined here but the
Stillwaterians are totally blocked from hearing one of few genuine
all-news stations remaining (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 780, Sept 15 at 0414 UT and later, WBBM Chicago in
the clear, no daytimer KSPI Stillwater on air tonight unlike last
night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 17 at 0635 UT, usual dominant signal
from KQCV OKC has some very distorted QRM on this frequency only. Not
sure yet whether local, need to check on other radios. No sign of the
noise in daytime at 1710. NRC AM Log shows *all* other conterminous US
800s have less than KQCV`s 1000-watt night power. XEROK is kaput, not
mentioned at all in 2024 IRCA Mexican Log. There are a few more XEs
still on 800; higher-powered Canadians; and PJB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 18 at 0635 UT, KQCV OKC again
tonight with continuous QRM, extremely distorted seems like music,
right on same frequency only. Does not match anything on 780, 790, 810
or 820. This time I DF it with the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398:
peaks NNW/SSE at same angle as KQCV. Possibly out of KQCV itself, but
again no sign of it in daytime check after 1430. Is anyone else
hearing this? Based on DF alone, but a few possibilities: CHAB Moose
Jaw SK, WSHO New Orleans LA, XEQT Veracruz -- but none of them very
likely by power and distance. CHAB & WSHO are OK in remote daytime
chex 1745. How about PJB? Own Bonaire SDR tied up as often. Next time
I should check remotes when I am hearing that, especially the one in
OKC (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Sept 13 at 0642, ``News on 6`` KOTV promo for
Dallas Cowboys radio network on Sunday afternoons - so is apparently
not 100% TV audio simulcast. But why broadcast the enemy? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. FCC change info for Sept 11: ``KOKJ-LP 95.1 Enid OK
initial calls for new station`` (via Mike Bugaj, WTFDA, FMDX-NA iog)
No sign of it on-air yet. Will overcome the radio war between KICT
Wichita and KQCV Bott OKC; and probably impossiblize the KOKC-1520
translator on 95.3 which really gets out, and difficultize what has
been a good ``open`` DX frequency 94.9. Would you believe that
searching FCC LMS on KOKJ hits instead DKOKJ-LP, Elk City TV deleted a
dekayear ago! FCC FM Query: zero results! We find it by searching on

** OKLAHOMA. 98.5, Sept 16 at 0559 UT, Enid translator is // 99.9
KVBN-LP. This is a change for the 98.5 source, no idea when it
happened as I seldom listen to either but 99.9 had a joint ``KVBN`` ID
for both frequencies. This would be news to FCC and WTFDA. FCC FM
Query still claims 98.5 K253BC, licensed to Paul Regier, relays KGVV
which is 90.5 in Goltry, 14 kW, ``The House of Praise / The Love
Station``. Goltry is not far away and hardly needs a translator in
Enid. But KVBN gets a stronger 250 watt signal on 98.5 than 78 watts
on 99.9. Both WTFDA and FCC show 98.5 & 99.9 at considerably different
coordinates.

But the WTFDA FMDB shows 98.5 K253BC relays KLVV 88.7! Hardly: that`s
in Ponca City, once a semi-local signal in Enid but now blocked by
another translator here. Are translator licensees free to change their
inputs without notice? I searched the WTFDA FMDB only by city: Enid,
so I see some other wrong info:

93.1 K226BR of KIMY 93.9 Watonga has been OFF THE AIR for many years.
So what if it may officially still be licensed?
96.9 KQOB quit relaying KZLS 1640 a few years ago; Freedom 96.9 is not
also on MW, as 1640 became // 1390 KCRC with sportstalk. 96.9 tho
licensed to Enid is in effect a full-power OKC station, site closer to
there than here. Several other local signals are missing since they
are licensed to outlying towns: besides gospel huxters, 95.7, 97.7,
106.3, same group as 107.1, 96.9, 1640, 1390 (Glenn Hauser, Enid,

But current RNA list shows ZDX 369 last logged 2024-02-19; and TAB 323

in Caribbean, Central or northern S America still active? (Glenn

China 11940 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [non?]. 11935.8 approx., Sept 13 at 1457 direct, S4/S5
nothing but chirps audible, Iranian jamming? Cannot pin on an exact
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [non?]. 11936.143+, Sept 18 at 1806, very rapid
chirping vs Yemen service, S9+20. Jamming from Iran? UTwente flails to
lock onto when tuned to 11935, but finally stix here when tuned to
11936.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Sept 14 at 0713, JBA carrier, obviously SIBC
in absence of 5025 Cuba. Might become listenable if I were up later.
Honiara sunset today is 0717 and near-equatorial, varies little during

** SPAIN. 17855, VG direct, also 17715, 15520 but 15390 still off, Fri
Sept 13 at 2200, token English from SNR. 2202 news about strained
relations with Venezuela as Maduro`s winning opponent has taken asylum
in Spain. 2208 feature interview about an exhibition in Santiago,
apparently the one in Chile, stemming from the ship Winnipeg which
transported refugees from France to Valparaíso in 1939 (Glenn Hauser,

at 2159, token English from SNR after 2200 timesignal accurate to WWV,
S9+20/30 on 17855. Preview interview to be about tourism in Spain this
summer, problems in Balearix and Barcelona, with director of World
Tourism Organization. News leads with two Spaniards detained in
Venezuela, wrongfully accused of spying and planning assassinations. I
think they said some Americans were also involved (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** SPAIN. 17855, Sept 17 at 2158, no token English on Tuesday but
checking SNR Ladino reception anyway. VP direct S5/S8 with pulsing on
the plus side. This NAm frequency at S6/S8 is *weaker* than 17715 to
SAm, S9/+10 with flutter, so something`s notright at Noblejas in
addition to prop disturbance. 15520 also on and 15390 also still off.
Estimated frequency at 2200 of the pulsing, never noticed before:
17855.7. Is it REE transmitter itself? Into Maryland SDR at 2220,

direct, 2202 news, something about democratic reforms proposed, such
as decriminalizing insulting royalty. 2212 check, 17715 back to weaker
than 17855 since it`s toward S America, but today is also fluttechoey
unlike the others: 15520 sufficient and 15390 still AWOL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005+, Sept 13 at 2159, VOT IS at S9+20 direct but
extremely heavy rapid flutter, 2200 s/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620.
Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2221 into UTwente when measured
S9+55 without flutter, `Turkish Folk Tales` about the Woodcutter and
the Bear; 2227 music. 2231 ``always-by-your-side`` promo and `That`s
Why` repeat from last week still about lithium. 2241 TRTVOTVorld in 41
languages promo, music. 2246 ``always-by-your-side`` promo again,
music. 2251 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, s/off as if 17620, awry and
off by 2252* and if there were any IS it was very brief while I was
distracted. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 14 at 2214, VOT English not off the air,
S9/+15 into UTwente, considerably weaker than normal but sufficient.
`The Energy Agenda` is underway until 2218 music. 2222 multi-lingual
ID filler reel. 2224 song. 2229 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` repeat
about copper handicrafts from Marash(?). 2236 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music. 2241 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2246
multi-lingual ID filler reel AGAIN this hour. Something`s always awry
at Ankara. 2248 music. 2252 s/off as if the 1230 on 17620. 2253 IS to
2255.7* chopoff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.001-, Sept 15 at 2200, no signal from VOT English
into UTwente: BUT cuts on carrier at *2201, no modulation and off at
2202*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. They tried to start
and failed again. Signal was only S9+15, weaker than usual, but would
have been sufficient. Nor did it resume later in the hour. So we miss
this week`s `Letterbox`, if there were a new one, and I also missed
checking for the possible final repeat after 0300 on 7275 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sept 16 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS and
English IDs, S9+10/20 direct. 2223 into UTwente when measured, S9+45
during `The Energy Agenda`. 2224 music. 2227 more music. 2232 `That`s
Why`, about the Hittites who flourished in Anatolia, 1600-1200 BCE,
and after a few mins, more & more music. 2252 headlines: Gaza death
toll 41,226, and *rump not assassinated. 2253 s/off as if the 1230 on
17620 and IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs, until 2258.3* chop.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

The estimated planetary K-index at 2100 UTC on 17 September was 3.67.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been severe.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G4 level occurred.
Solar radiation storms reaching the S1 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor.

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sept 17 at 2157, TRT VOT IS & ID direct at
S9+10, but really unusable by English program start 2200 due to
extreme propagation disturbance. By 2217 when measured into UTwente
synching onto weak S7 signal, but no sound. Later in hour, no signal
at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 18 at *2200.3, VOT carrier cuts on late,
dead air at first and powering up from S8 to S9+20 as monitored
direct; 2201 brings up modulation as olds is starting. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. Recheck 2214 ending `Review of the
Turkish Press`, into a new segment I had not heard before, about
inventions; starting with assassination of Chicago Mayor Harrison on
28 October 1893. This led to improvements in body protexion: steel
armor and shields obsolete. Something about a Polish immigrant`s work.
Dr. George E. Goodfellow discovered that someone avoided death because
a bullet hit his handkerchief in pocket, and this led to bulletproof
vest invention, as he demonstrated by having an assistant fire at him
point-blank. Never explained materials made of, kevlar never
mentioned! But show outro as `Unscripted Twists of Fate` -? or more
likely, `Unexpected-`? 2222 music. 2233 recheck into UTwente when
measured, S9+45, more music. 2238 ``always-by-your-side`` promo,
`Sports Panorama`. 2247 music. 2252 s/off as if on 17620 at 1230. 2253
IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs. 2300 ~correct timesignal and s/on
German, 2301 Alten to 2302.6* chop. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ND beacons audible tnx to lowering noise level - only S7/S8

weaker than another KS, HRU on 407, 25 watts from Herington; but now
HRU is inaudible. RNA says last logged 2024-09-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. Sept 18 at 0645-0651 UT, MW NDB bandscan hits a lot of

them to be:

Radio, Germany, 6160.000+, S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday September 14 at 1600 on WRN North America
webcast. There is always a several-second pause between their intro

deadair on my files.

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Fri Sept 13 from 2345, into
usual NH SDR: 6160 VP, no sigs on 3265, 5130 NOR 7490!! Something`s
wrong with this Kiwi. Switch to Maryland instead: there, 7490 -72 Hz =
7489.928 is VG S9+10/20 with FKB; 6160 -72 = 6159.928 is S5/S7 with
TOMBS; 5130 & 3265 agreeably OFF. So a rerun is likely. Listening to
7490-, after FKB wraps up, we hear a re-echo of his last words several
sex later. NO ID, no disclaimer, and rough start to playback of last
week`s AAAWWW wherein he starts saying ``beaming, not streaming``.
Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490-, Sept 17 at 0337, WBCQ with TOMBS, S8/S9 but very
unusually with Doppler flutter, i.e. frequency wobbling due to geomag
storm. Aurora not quite reaching Maine nor here nor directly in
between (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010, Fri Sept 13 at 0650 UT, this WRMI-14 is off instead of
usual BS; but 9955 WRMI-3 is JBA S6/S8 at 0657, maybe deadair instead
of RFI Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, Fri Sept 13 at 0259, WRMI-4 with S9+30/40 of music so
presumably resumed `Legends` after previously only carriers on 5050 or
5051 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, Fri Sept 13 at 0259, WRMI with S9+30/40 of dead air.
Self-contradictory info on WRMI skedgrid: #10 transmitter 5800 shows
System D RAE Argentina at 0200-0300, System B Freedom Synergy Radio at
0300-0400. But RAE schedule shows nothing at this hour. System D shows
R. República at 0200-0300 UT Tue-Sat on 5800; System B shows Slovakia
in Spanish at 0230-0300, Prague in English at 0300-0330, on 9955!
Maybe FSR came up later after 0300 as usual on 5800, and previously
has been //9955 in yet another sked mismatch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Sept 17 at 0500+, WRMI still on the air with R. Prague
in English, which is what`s on WRN at this time. On WRMI webcast and
9955 into Pardinho, Brasil SDR but way out of synch (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5935, Sept 13 at 0653-0654+, deadair from WWCR, longer than
typical pregnant pauses while DGS is lighting up a cigar (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, Sept 16 at 0422, S8/S9 of dead air except for some
hum, instead of dead EJOM, i.e. WMLK. Something`s botched at Bethel
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Sept 14 at 0655, Mexmx again in the mix with WHSQ, KRVN
and English gospel huxter, probably KHAC AZ/NM. 0702 non-ID ``La
Tremenda`` so it`s WIJR, Highland IL, slogan as in NRC AM Log, U4
1700/160 from just east of St Louis MO, day and night patterns toward
SW, away from NYC - yes, always an obstacle to WCBS here, but now it
no longer matters! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1530, Sept 18 at 0653 UT, Mexmx mixing with WCKY, unusual.
0654 phone number in Spanish starting with AC 512, which is San
Antonio TX area - or was as I well remember from living there, but it
shrank in 1992 to Austin area. And on the altazimuth wrist-mounted
DX398, DF SSW almost fits for that, really closer to due south. 0659
and again at 0700, IDs as ``La Raza 95.1``. Therefore per NRC AM Log,
it`s KZNX, Creedmoor TX, U7 10000/220/1000/55 watts, address in El
Paso, but that`s the group HQ. Creedmoor is not even indexed in my
road atlas. It`s 15 miles south of Austin, 2020 census population 434.
What do you bet it`s not on 220 watt night power? KZNX last logged
April 8 during Total Solar Eclipse. You might expect a TX 1530 in
Spanish would be KGBT Harlingen, U8 50/10/50 kW, but night pattern
disfavors the north, main lobe ESE into GOM, and it`s TUDN sports
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. IN THE AMERICAS with DAVID YETMAN is an excellent
27-minute TV series I always try to watch at the single time it airs
on OETA Create channel from PBS, UT Tuesdays at 0300 - it appears that
all 10 seasons of episodes may be viewed via
https://intheamericas.org/episodes/
Look thru the topix which may interest you especially (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** URUGUAY [and non]. 28350 USB, Sept 16 at 2210, CX5TMJ switches from
English to Spanish for contact with YN9H, Henry in NICARAGUA, also
audible but weaker. QRZ.com: ``CX5TMJ Uruguay flag Uruguay, Dino
Alejandro Gómez Pérez, cx5tmj@gmail.com, Castillos, Rocha, 27200,
Uruguay`` with lots of photos of equipment, flags.

``YN9H Nicaragua flag Nicaragua, Henry Arauz Ubeda, Sacramento,
Jinotega, JI, 65000, Nicaragua`` - already logged Sept 6, 2024, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Noise level has abated enough and propagation improved
enough to uncover some JBA carriers on ND beacon frequencies, Sept 12
at 0637-0642 UT. These are my guesses based on previous reception with
no IDs axually hearable now, as in dxinfocentre.com or RNA, with
listed watt powers:
245, FS, Sioux Falls SD, 400;
251, AM, Amarillo TX, 100;
267, HET, Henryetta OK, 25;
332, IC, Wichita KS, 400 or 25;
338, RYN, Tucson AZ, 400;
344, JL, Joplin MO, 25 or JA, Jacksonville FL, 400;
346, YXL, Sioux Lookout ON, 500;
404, HU, Hutchinson KS, 25;

[non]. Not unID with ID axually copiable:
255, SW, Stillwater OK, 25;
293, FBY, Fairbury NE, 25;
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 711 kHz, Sept 15 at 0540 & 0546 UT, only hit in a full
9/kHz bandscan for JBA TA carriers - presumably El Aaiún, Morocco 300
kW, a.k.a. Western Sahara - unless it`s a Cuban +1 kHz spoiler like
631, 891 and 1141 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {is Aaiun off, irregular?}

UNIDENTIFIED. 760.06 approx., Sept 14 at 0407 LAH = low audible
heterodyne on plus side of 760.0 stations like WJR/KCCV. Nothing
nearly that far off in mwoffsets list (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810, Sept 13 at 0637 UT, dead air atop a weaker music
station, presumably the normally dominant WHB Kansas City (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 14 at 0353:
only 855 in full 9/kHz bandscan, and it`s really JJBBA, presumably
SPAIN. So many of the UK and Spain MWs are deceased or depowered.
MWlist still shows 9 RNE synchros here up to 100 kW 24h but also
hipowers in Romania, Ethiopia, Sa`udi Arabia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Sept 13 at 0638 and 0710 UT, Spanish music in the
mix; 0708 think I heard ``Nuevo Mundo`` which would be TGJ Guatemala,
vs ESPN which would be WHSQ NYC ex-WCBS; and usual KRVN Nebraska. But
there are several US SS stations listed, most likely KJOZ Conroe TX.
New IRCA Mexican Log shows only one on 880 but it`s silent in
Chihuahua. TGJ was one of my early memorable DX catches (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) See USA: WIJR

UNIDENTIFIED. 970, Sept 14 at 0359, Spanish dominant, mentions
``faul`` so a béisbol game or sportstalk about it. In NRC AM Log, only
two USA SS listed, neither at all likely, silent in Florida or
religious in Maryland. So Mexico: IRCA Mexican Log has four, headed by
Radio Fórmula flagship XERFR Mexico City, 50/5 kW and only one other
maybe, XEJ Juárez, Chihua2, 1/1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6938 AM, Sept 14 at 0416, S9/+10 open carrier. Is it a
pirate or a ute? Nothing currently in HF Underground. Ricky Leong,
Alberta, also had this Sept 9 at 0503 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9529.1 USB, Sept 13 at 0658, 2-way INTRUDERS in Spanish, 
cambios, whistling. Hardly any broadcast signals on 31mb to be 
bothered (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12195, Sept 12 at 0623, S9+15/20, mystery open carrier,
much stronger than hardly anything within 25mb SWBC, just a few JBA
carriers, so I guess it be close by. What is it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD 
OF RADIO 2260)

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS

``Been Missing. Hello everyone. It has been a long time since I have
been able to listen to short wave. I bought a SFR and boy, these
things are great. It's a SdrPlay DX. I was listening to a station out
of Florida and I heard the familiar Glenn Hauser World of Radio show.
In a instant it brought me back to listening to it in the 90's. Glenn,
I want to thank you for the great job you do. I've read all the
articles you put in Popular Communication [rather, Popular
Electronics, Monitoring Times]. If I get some money together I'll buy
you a pizza and a drink. You put your life into this and I just wanted
to say thank you for your efforts. I really enjoy your show and the
updates in print and radio. There's always something wrong with Radio
Cuba. Take care and happy listening`` (John Spicer, Sept 5)

John, Welcome back and thanks for your kind comments. 73, Glenn
