GLENN HAUSER`S WEEKLY LOG ROUNDUPS

Published by early UT Thursday each week, the original complete
all-band logs in one merged alfabetical file:
http://worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html

MEXICO [and non]. 570, Sept 4 at 0550, listening to a household
Panasonic radio oriented to favor N/S paths, hearing music mixed with
talk stations. 0554 ID as XEBJB Monterrey and Mexican national anthem
long version to about 0558, choral, maybe children`s high voices. IRCA
Mexican Log shows:

``570 XEBJB NL SAN NICOLAS DE LOS GARZA CST Full (4:40) children's
choral just before or after 6 am. Full (4:40) children's choral just
before or after Midnight. Phone: 81-8125-3500 Website

None)`` And::

``XEBJB NL Monterrey 5000 500 La Voz 24h REL/CCR This channel is being
leased, and currently has no web presence. ABC Noticias format moved
to XEVB 1310AM in 2023. No longer //XHGBO 92.1FM General Bravo. Still
active on AM 7/23 (logged by DXer), but noted falling off the air
repeatedly 6/23 per SDR monitoring``

``San Nicolás de los Garza, sometimes known only as San Nicolás, is a
city and coextensive municipality in the Mexican state of Nuevo León
that is part of the Monterrey metropolitan area. Wikipedia
Mayor: Daniel Carrillo, Weather: 101°F (38°C)`` = same as Enid.

I`ve always wondered where the BJB calls came from: a slogan in
Spanish, or someone`s initials? Probably not from B. J. Bingham,
erstwhile TVDXer in Festus MO.

At 0600, more signal from two US stations, one with Fox news, the
other CBS news. One with ID as WNAX Yankton SD. The other must be KLIF
Dallas. After news at 0606 one goes into C2CAM. NRC AM Log unravels
which be which: WNAX with CBS and Red Eye Radio; KLIF with Fox and
C2CAM. BTW, when noise level permit, both US stations make it here on
daytime groundwave, WNAX twice as far way under KLIF, née WBAP=WFAA in
sharetime deal with 10X bigger 820 transmitter, both? situated N of
midway between D/FW, Grapevine.

OKLAHOMA. About the blasting line noise level in Enid. OG&E
troubleshooter visited about 1330 Sept 6 and agreed he`s also
hearing it and is getting to work on locating source, but could take a
few days. Then of course repair work can start. Meanwhile I`m hearing
it on MW wherever I drive in Enid; even QRNs the stoplight noise. And
on home rigs it`s all over the SW bands.

OKLAHOMA. Sept 12 I waste a sesquihour on the phone waiting for
OG&E agent to pick up in ``less than an hour``, before giving up.
Trying to get some axion on my week-ago complaint of intolerable line
noise level here and thru much of Enid. They need more agents!

SINT MAARTEN. 1300 kHz, Sept 4 at 1935, I bring up the TWR
Bonaire SDR to check out RHC 15140, q.v., and find it`s tied up but I
may camp upon someone listening to 1300; and hear music. What could
that be? WRTH 2023 shows one Venezuelan, a deportes station in
Caracas, surely not that, likely kaput at 245 km = 136 st miles.

Soon quits so I get 1300 myself at 1936 to hear an ad in English in
US$, and www.pjd2radio.com so that`s it. WRTH has it in the fq list
for West Indies, page 717:
1300 SXM 1 [kW] PJD2 V. of St Maarten, Phillipsburg
but NOT under SAINT [sic] MAARTEN, the very name of which would be a
mixture of English and Dutch; where that call is shown only for FM
102.7 on page 441. 1300 is weak S5 but fairly steady overwater from
one part of Caribbean Netherlands to another, not bad, 862 km = 535 st
miles = 465 nmi. 1945 playing ``Love, Sweet Love``, 1950 hardsell ad
in English. 1955 mentions 102.7. Guess what, that website does not
lead to a radio station but to a blog in --- Thai!! Except for a Roman
name UFASLOT, about gambling. Stranger and stranger. Here`s the
correct radio link:
https://pjd2radiosxm.com/
Slow loading. ``Welcome to the Voice of St Maarten --- We are proud to
be providing the caribbean with the best in broadcast radio for over
35 years. We have two channels 102.7FM and 1300AM. Our Listeners are
guaranteed to get the latest in news in and around our community. We
have the most talented collection of DJ’s on the island to keep our
listener entertained and update with the latest music``

And with separate AM and FM player linx. If you play one, the other
stops. Maybe not/always // but are the same at 2018 in a YL talk show
about self-images, social media influencers. Ends at 2043, adstring
-2050 for flights to Bonaire, St. Maarten Concrete, Caribbean Lottery,
etc. Seems that ``SXM`` is common lingo for the place, not just ITU.
``Power 102.7 is here to cool it down``, 2051 back to music.

Brings back memories of my visit to SXM tho I don`t recall going to
the station itself, implied above to exist only since 1987. Is there
any Dutch on it, or even French?

U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2207 monitoring: confirmed Friday
September 8 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+5/15 into
nearby Noale SDR with some storm crashes and lite CCI. No Blitz on map
closer than Malta, Galicia. Still not on 918 or 207 kHz.

Mike Barraclough reports Sept 10 to the bdxc-news iog: ``Smooth Radio
AM closures --- Thomas TV on Digital Spy reports this afternoon
hearing a message on Smooth Sussex 945 saying that they will be coming
off AM at the end of this month. Checking their webpage showing AM
frequencies which was updated September 4 it's now not listed there
nor is 1323 Brighton so that must be closing soon as well.
https://www.smoothradio.com/radio/ho...tting-started/
Mike``
--- That should lessen the QRM to WOR broadcasts on 1323 from Italy,
Fri 2030 & Sun 2000.

U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2207 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
September 10 at 2020 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323, S9+15/20

WORLD OF RADIO 2208 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 15 at 2045
the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, Villa Estense;
nearest SDR Noale is busy but Parma gets it poorly, S6/S7 very noisy
with music QRM understation. I guess that`s still Brighton

Note that some items quoted on WOR 2208 are no longer correct already:
Ben Dawson says WFME 1560 does not use a ``slant-wire antenna``, but
rather a slant-wire *feed* to a vertical tower, which is entirely
different.

``World of Radio is the premiere news and information radio service
produced by respected shortwave journalist Glenn Hauser.``
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=p&id=18
Tnx, but don`t you believe the imaginary first time shown,
``5130 Su 0400-0430 UTC Su 12:00AM 12:30AM EST`` [sic]
which was never correct.

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. ``Hi Glenn, About your NDBs mentioned. 350 RG
is decommissioned; this happened several times but it kept coming
back, it appears to finally have taken effect, last reported 1/23. 255
SW still on, reported 8/29/23; 332 IC still on, reported 8/27/23.
https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals
73, Steve AA7U in Arizona`` Ratzlaff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Sept 21 around 18 UT, OG&E crew spotted at work nearby:
they are replacing an electric pole for some reason, but they say the
transformer atop is not a new one. I thought maybe this was finally in
response to my line noise complaint, and it does seem to have
diminished somewhat, but still very buzzy as I approach the pole later
with my DX-398 on MW and SW. It had also been a noise peak area
driving by on caradio. They blamed a new cable TV provider installing
on their poles (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 860, Sept 20 at 1854 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS, is off! During
routine bandscan from ~25 km north of Enid. Did not know it had any
problems; neighbor 690 KGGF Coffeyville KS is VG as usual, both 10 kW.
On 860 seems a JBA fast SAH but would not expect any daysigs from
others nearest in TX, AR, IA. On 860 and above there is lite line
noise audible even tho no powerlines in sight where parked along US
81/60/64 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 860, Sept 21 circa 18 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS is back on air,
after missing yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Sept 19 at 1635 UT, no signal on caradio from KLEY
Wellington KS; despite high storm and line noise level, should be
audible as usual daytimes. At 1655 I get a JBA carrier on the R75; on
the DX 398 I can`t get a DF fix. Could be image, or: how about running
``one watt`` night power in day rather than 250 watt day power at
night? So KLEY seems totally off the air, and not merely dead air as
often. Meanwhile sibling KKLE Winfield KS 1550 is quite audible with
bluegrass, altho always weaker than KLEY when it`s normal, and DF for
NNE/SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR){Or: daytime GW remnant of KWKH LA?}

** U S A. 1130, Sept 20 at 1656 & 1855 UT chex, KLEY Wellington KS is
still silent. Still off c. 1800 Sept 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1290, Sept 20 at 1857 UT, ``Texhoma`s NewsTalk 1290``
slogan, i.e. KWFS Wichita Falls TX, with barely an undertrace of KMMM
Pratt KS, on caradio north of Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

noise. Followed ARRL Audio News.

**WG Hauser** · 10-01-2023, 03:22 PM

** U S A. The blasting high line noise level I was complaining about
has diminished somewhat but not eliminated. Not sure if this result
from any OG&E effort. Now it`s more sporadic bursting than continuous.
Unrelated, but my Icom ICR-75 is now sidelined as its audio output is
no longer normal even after warmup or leaving it on continually. The
JRC NRD-545 is now my primary rx, using the same 100` E/W longwire as
the Icom, u.o.s. Frequency measurements to 3 decimal places not
practical, only 2 at most. Noise level is still worst on LW, S7/S9,
but slight lowering again JB audiblizes fringe NDBs in the daytime
beyond Oklahoma, Sept 30 at 1539:

332 kHz MCW, IC, Wichita KS, listed 400 watts
395 kHz MCW, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts
407 kHz MCW, HRU, Herington KS, 25 watts

I`ll know things are again close to normal if I can hear in daytime:
293 kHz MCW, FBY, Fairbury NE, 25 watts just beyond Kansas.
I am still not hearing 255 kHz MCW, SW, Stillwater OK. If really on as
some allege, must be on reduced power from listed 25 watts
That leaves the only day audible Okies:
341 kHz MCW, EI, Enid, 25 watts but JBA despite proximity
515 kHz MCW, PN, Ponca City, 25 watts but always much stronger than
anything lower on MW or LW - maybe partly due to better receiver
sensitivity and shorter antenna (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Sept 25 at 0615 UT steady S9+20 of classic rock
dominates: suspect KLEY Wellington KS reactivated with usual 250 X its
legal night power of 1 watt. Had been absent since Sept 19. Yes, same
steady S9+20 rock on daytime groundwave at 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1290, follow-up to my unsuccessful attempts to monitor KMMM
Pratt KS, since I am south of it but blocked by KWFS, while KMMM aims
west; from Linda Brodsky, IRCA list, Sept 23: ``KMMM, Pratt KS
dominates 1290 kHz most nights in Golden. Their current slogan is
"True Country." There are many IDs between songs. Recording of recent
ID attached. -- Linda Brodsky, Golden CO`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2209 monitoring: Confirmed UT
Thursday September 28 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9/+12 into Bonaire SDR.

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: confirmed Friday
September 29 at 2054 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only,
S9+10/13 into nearby Noale SDR, and for a change no CCI, so Smooth
Radio, Brighton, England, UKQOGBANI, may have already closed down
forever. 2059 usual false s/off, 2100 Feature Story News, 2108 start
`The Shortwave Report` again with Dan Roberts, but bound to be chopped
off air in a few more minutes. Yup, -2111.7*, and still nothing else
on open frequency.

Confirmed Saturday September 30 at 1928 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15
into nearby SDR, about 4 minutes into so started early circa 1924.

Confirmed UT Sunday October 1 starting at 0309 the 0315v on WA0RCR,

GLENN HAUSER`S WEEKLY LOG ROUNDUPS

Published by early UT Thursday each week, the original complete
all-band logs in one merged alfabetical file:
http://worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html

Yes, I know MW starts at 300 kHz, but may include LW
beacons below that for sake of completeness. It also
extends above to 3000 kHz. I also include reports of
harmonix originating with MW stations.

OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 1526, JB detectable SW, 25 watt
NDB at Stillwater, vs line noise level of S9. Had not been able to
hear it for many weeks, if really on air all the time.

U S A. My high line noise level has abated only slightly on LW/MW,
and/or conditions have improved only slightly, allowing me to detect
again some of my `regular` MCW ND beacons:

293 kHz, Oct 9 at 0726, FBY, Fairbury NE, 25 watts
326 kHz, Oct 9 at 0730, MA, Midland TX, 400 watts
329 kHz, Oct 9 at 0731, PMV, Plattsmouth NE, 25 watts
See also OKLAHOMA.

CANADA [and non]. 332 MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0705, QT, 1000 watt ND
beacon at Thunder Bay ON, after months, finally able to JB copy it vs
noise level, marginally improved conditions, and underneath it, IC,
400 watts at Wichita KS.

CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Oct 12 at 0642, dash and YXL is JBA, S9/+20
including intolerable line noise level. 500 watts from SiouX Lookout,
Ontario, not flagged as facing decommission. Last winter so regular
that seldom relogged, but the last time barely pulled was June 26, and
before that, April 29.

U S A. 365 MCW kHz, Oct 15 at 0650, JBA non-Canadian beacon, or two
mixing, hard to differentiate, but I think I hear AA, which is 100
watts from Fargo/Harwood ND; heard before, last Feb 22. Many other
tantalizing NDB carriers vs the high line noise level.

U S A. Oct 4 at 1820, 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?

U S A. Annular solar eclipse morning of Saturday October 14: You don`t
need a transmitter to study radio propagation inward. I`m thinking
some Las Vegas NV area MW stations might be good prospects to bounce
into OK as the eclipse passes thru New Mexico; if we can find a clear
frequency, like 840 KXNT? Never mind the little NM station in the
middle. 670 KMZQ; 870 KLSQ; 1100 KWWN; or 1540 KENT - the more
powerful ones, 5, 10, 25 or 50 kW.

U S A. No luck on daytime MWDX during the Eclipse, 1620-1640 Oct
14. Drove NW of Enid but could not get far enough to escape horrible
line noise. Would have required advance scouting even further for
quietude. At least we saw the bite projected thru a pinhole; vs a
shiversome windchill.

started circa 1931 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+16 into nearby SDR. Also
the 1930s on WRMI webcast-only and WRN North America stream.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 22 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into
nearby SDR, already at 0300, about 20 minutes into so started way
early circa 0240, the nominal 0315v, so would have been finished by
0310; Vern has to insert his own ID every dekaminute, often
interrupting a word or thought of mine. He also has to cut my opening
billboard to minimize the amount of music relayed; but is it OK if
there be music on a clip? I don`t let that influence what I may
insert.

UNIDENTIFIED. 1430 kHz, Oct 16 at 0233 UT, strong open carrier/dead
air dominating at S9+10, occasional dips to S9. No stations in OK or
nearby have favorable night patterns thisaway, but several ND day
patterns + failure to modulate make this intriguing (Glenn Hauser, OK,

GLENN HAUSER`S WEEKLY LOG ROUNDUPS

Published by early UT Thursday each week, the original complete
all-band logs in one merged alfabetical file:
http://worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search: whoopee, the
`season` is back, able to detect a few on two receivers, three
different antennas; despite line and other noise levels, Oct 16 at
0231 on 855, 1044 and two beating on 1053. At 0247, 855 and 828. At
0305, 855 and 1053. Not making any airtight claims, but: 855 & 828
both have 100 kW Ethiopians. 855 more likely RNE Spain synchros. 1044
has 10 & 20 kW from Spain but 200 kW from Ethiopia. 1053 Talksport UK
synchros up to 500 kW, but also 50 kW Ethiopia -- the country common
to all 4 frequencies. WRTH 2023 has no sked info, but this would be
around 6 am local, likely to be on air and skipping out westward circa
sunrise. MWlist shows 828 // 855 // 1044 all R. Ethiopia, 24h. 1053
is R. Oromiya not until *0400, but Talksport is 24h.

Method: I scan the entire MW band with the new R75 set at 9 kHz steps,
USB tuning 1 kHz below each: thus, 1 kHz tones/hets on TA frequencies
stand out except of course those ending in -0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 17 at 0652,
obvious het direct from 711 kHz when tuned to 710, likely this as in
mwlist: ``AOE SNRT Al Idaâ Al Amazighia El Aaiún 24h Laâyoune=El Aaiún
300 kW languages: Tamazight (Berber), Tachelhit, Rifain, ar // 936``
--- AOE as country means Spanish West Africa - hardly anymore, rather
WESTERN SAHARA but occupied by MOROCCO imperialism, their station. At
this late hour, far more likely than lower-powereds further into
Africa, Europe, ME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search October 18 at
0111-0120 UT. This time on the NRD-545 which doesn`t tune in 9-kHz
steps - or if it can, I don`t know how; rather than the IC-R75, so I
have to manually go in USB to 1 kHz below some of them, and do get
some hits, not in exact order tuned: 684, 711, 774-2 beating, 855,
891, 909-strongest, 999-2, 1053, 1107 kHz. Likely from Spain, Western
Sahara, Algeria, UKQOGBANI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 20 at
0329-0334, on the R75 with N/S interior shortwire: 1566?, 1044, 999,
855-2=strongest, 774-2, 711, 585, 576, 531 kHz.

Then I switch to the Wellbrook loop aimed E/W and get slightly better
results tuning back upward at 0334-0342: 531, 576-2, 639-2, 684, 711,
729, 774, 855-2, 882-2, 909, 954, 999, 1017, 1026, 1044, 1107-2, 1125,
1296, 1305-2, 1422, 1503, 1521 kHz. -2 means at least 2 carriers
beating.

Might have pulled a few more, but all the splash from obstructive
North Americans on 10/kHz channels is fierce. Here in deep North
America, with my ordinary equipment, getting any axual TA audio is
rare. But hey, a signal is a signal, making the trip. Many of these
I`m sure are Spain but there are some intriguing other possibilities
listed I won`t go into now.

Trans-Pacific: 846, R. Kiribati, Kiritimati, so far have not detected
this, if on the air? Would be audible as early as 0430 at least into
Hawaii SDR, and of course direct long after TAs absorbed in daytime;
anyway, nothing over 3 kW in Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, R. Kiribati: still not getting any trace of it
direct; so I am trying via Oahu SDR which last season got it as early
at 0430 UT, circa sunset there and on Xmas Island to the south: Oct 21
at 0435, nothing audible or visible on the H2Ofall, yet SAM synch lox
onto a carrier displaying +0.4 to +1.1 Hz averaging +0.8. Don`t see
how it could be anything else from Pacific or Asia, let alone Europe.
At next chex 0523 & 0555, there is a JBV fuzzy carrier, still nothing
audible, and variation slightly greater, plus/minus 2 Hz. Some or all
of that could be instability of receiver; or partly transmitter; or
unstable propagation. Will keep checking periodically. June 8 at 0658
was the last time I logged a JJBBA carrier direct (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 21 at
0418-0425 UT, on Wellbrook loop E/W into R75: 531, 558-2, 576, 585,
612-2, 621, 639, 657, 684, 711*, 774-2, 837, 855*, 882, 972-2, 999,
1098, 1107-2, 1332, 1422 kHz. *strongest; -2 = at least two carriers
beating. Impossible on any frequencies ending in -0, next toughest
those in -9 with USB step tuning 1 kHz below. See also KIRITIMATI

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2211 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 8 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+10/12
into nearby Noale SDR; with lite CCI singing, sorta Qur`anish, from
what? if Smooth Radio, England begone? mwlist: IRIB Radio Tabriz
1820-2020 azeri -- and with 50 kW per WRTH 2023. Seems off by 2022 and
then no signal into Kuwait SDR. So our other airing on 1323, Friday

Confirmed Friday October 20 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323
kHz, S9+10/20 into nearby Noale SDR, but with considerable pop music
CCI! Only other thing listed on at this hour by mwlist is 30 watts
from Leeds, UKQOGBANI; or has Smooth Radio resumed? It`s even worse by
2100 and definitely in Hungarian, so Romania`s 15 kW minority service
must have been expanded past 1900, or 2000?

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2213 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 22 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, still not
908 or 207; S9+17 into nearby Noale SDR, Qur`anRM barely audible under
from Iran, but unlike yesterday, no Hungarian heard from Romania. Also
confirmed at same time on WRN Europe webcast, and on WRMI webcast-only

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 23 at 0446, still trying to get R.
Kiribati via Oahu SDR: nothing visible on waterfall, but SynchAM tries
to lock onto signal plus/minus ~2 Hz. 24h earlier this was displaying
a line at 846 but appeared to be boundary of something rather than a
genuine signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [non]. 846 kHz, re my not hearing carrier from R.
Kiribati direct, and no more than an uncertain trace sometimes at Oahu
SDR: ``Glenn - Here at Asilomar State Beach, have also noted no signal
at all recently on 846 kHz. Conditions have been fairly good, as on
Oct 22 (Sunday), actually had some rare audio on 1017 kHz, perhaps
from Tonga, at 0701 UT, with religious singing; normally I only hear
with a carrier. Ron (California)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 26 at 0508, another try to detect R.
Kiribati into Oahu SDR: nothing audible or visible on the H2Ofall, but
SAM claims to lock on to an 846 varying plus/minus 4 Hz. Could it
really be on but very QRP? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2214)

WORLD OF RADIO 2214 monitoring: Confirmed Friday October 27 at 2030 on
IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, fair into Parma SDR and can hear no

October 29 at 2100 ex-2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+15
into nearby SDR, atop some CCI talk, can`t make out language, but
Romania or something schedule also probably shifted an hour later

WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES
update for non-DST in Europe:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
non-DST in North America will be in effect Nov 5

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic just-barely-audible MW carrier search,
October 24 at 0330-0335 on the E/W loop: 576, 612, 621, 639, 774-2,
855*strongest, 891?, 999, 1044, 1098, 1125, 1296, 1305, 1413 kHz.
Notably missing: 711 from WESTERN SAHARA occupied by Morocco.
Correlating with this posted at 0711 UT Oct 24:

``[bdxc-news] 711 kHz Morocco --- 711 kHz SNRT Laayoune Morocco has
been putting a good signal into Playa Blanca Lanzarote but with very
poor modulation. It normally makes it very difficult for me to receive
WOR New York 710 kHz. This morning 711 kHz noted off, maybe for
maintenance and excellent reception of WOR from 06.30 as I type at
07.10 just starting to fade but still audible. 73 John Hoad, Elad
FDM-DUOr (Stand Alone) + Wellbrook ALA1530LNP, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote
{Canary Islands}`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 25 at 0653:
684, 711*strongest so WESTERN SAHARA is back on; 774, 837, 855 kHz.
The others likely SPAIN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 26 at 0225 UT,
on the E/W longwire into NRD-545: Tnx to Canadians Richard Langley and
Peter Laws for leading me to the manual instruxions on 9/10 kHz but it
is too complicated to change its tuning steps, unlike simply on the
R75, so this is not a thorough bandscan, rather picking several likely
frequencies to punch individually 1 kHz below in USB to hear a 1 kHz
het = carrier; not in the order tuned over the next few minutes:

531-2, 576-2, 595**, 621, 639-2, 684, 711-NOT, 774, 801, 855-2, 882,
891, 999, 1107-2, 1305-2, 1422, 1539. Likely mostly Algeria, Spain.

**595 rather than 594 strongly implies the off-frequency SNRT Oujda,
MOROCCO, 50 kW per mwlist, altho supposedly off air at 01-04.

Later at 0320-0328 UT Oct 26 on the R75 with E/W Wellbrook loop: 531,
549*, 576-2, 639, 657, 684*, 693, 702, 711-NOT, 738, 747, 774-2, 837,
855*, 882, 891, 963!=3 kHz from 960 local, 999, 1026, 1044, 1089,
1107-3, 1116, 1125, 1296, 1413, 1476, 1512; 1710=TIS or pirate?
*strongest. -3 = more than 2 carriers beating.

963! most likely would be 100 kW from Tunisia per mwlist. There are
also 50 kW or more on Cyprus, Iran, Sudan, Mozambique; nothing
significant in Europe. DXers in the Atlantic Northeast were getting
plenty of TA modulation on MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2214)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 27 at
0332-0340 UT on the R75 with E/W loop: 531, 576, 612*, 684*, 711, 774,
855, 891, 909, 999, 1044, 1098-2, 1107-3, 1125, 1305-2, 1413, 1449,
1611 kHz. *strongest; -3 more than two carriers beating.

Per mwlist, nothing significant in Europe on 1449, but 200 kW from
Jeddah, Sa`udi Arabia; or less likely 400 kW from Iran (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 28 at
0514-0531 on the NRD-545 with E/W longwire: this time I laboriously
punch each of almost all 9/kHz channels minus one in USB. I started
downwards from 855, then upwards from there but here put in order:
603, 612, 621, 639, *684, 702, 711, 747-2, 774-2, 801-2, 837, *855-2;
864, 882, 891, 936-2, 963, 999, 1017, 1044, 1098, 1107-2, 1125,
1152-2, 1296, 1305-2, 1314, 1413, 1422. *strongest, likely both Spain
and many of the others. -2 = at least two carriers beating.

Above 1422, I hit only two anomalies, off-frequency approx. 1467.3 and
1565.13. Mwoffsets has Iran on 1467.39, but nothing that far below
1566. These could be local receiver birdies; or spurs from US
station(s). If matching from one station it would be exactly halfway
between them: 1516.215 = very unlikely as nothing there. Does anyone
else get carriers on those? Could also be Latin American variants
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 29 from 0302
UT, vs hi storm noise level, on the R75 with loop: 531, 774-2, 855-2,
891, 1098, 1107, 1116, 1125, 1134 ---

AND 1548 kHz at 0309, much stronger than the others but no audio-ible;
slight fades unlike something local. Right on 1548.00 to my ear. The
only two bigsigs on 1548 in Eurasia are R. Farda, 600 kW via Kuwait;
and TWR Europe, 500 kW via Pridnestrovye, but mwlist, WRTH Update and
EiBi show both on air only in local evenings, not mornings.
Nevertheless possibly one of them testing, and no signal at next check
circa 0325.

Another TA bandscan at 0321: 585, *684, 693, 774-2, 837, 855-2, 891,
1008, 1098, 1107, 1305; and something offset below 1494, nothing
listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Yes, I know MW starts at 300 kHz, but may include LW
beacons below that for sake of completeness. It also
extends above to 3000 kHz. I also include reports of
harmonix originating with MW stations.

** CANADA. 940, Oct 30 at 0701 UT, Canadian news, so CBM Montréal?
Dominating on my E/W longwire: but NOT // 990 CBW, and also mentions
Canadian Press, so it`s the only other non-LPRT, CJGX Yorkton SK, U2
50/10 kW. And CBM is long-gone! Now 940 in PQ is CFNV, U4 50/50 in
French (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 356 MCW kHz, Nov 3 at 0704 UT, ND beacon ODX is JBA vs S9
line noise level here which is worst on LW, making it a struggle to
hear any beacons. 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 408 kHz, Nov 5 at 0311, JBA carrier detected here, most
likely JDM, 25 watts at Colby/Wheatfield, NW corner of KS, as the
only two others are in WA & AB. Only NDB I can detect vs line noise
level, except from OK 341 EI and 515 PN. At least the storm noise
level has dropped. Normally would detect 407, 25 watt HRU Herington
KS, closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1682.7 & 1637.3 approx., Nov 3 at 0700 UT, matching
spurblobs, both about 22.7 kHz from 1660, i.e. out of WTOU ``The
Touch``, Kalamazoo, as recently discussed in this IRCA thread:
https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/101970919

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers: not searched whole band

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier check Nov 3 at 0710 UT:
JBA on 621 and 711 kHz, surely RNE Canarias and neighborly Moroccan
from occupied ``Spanish West Africa`` as in mwlist. Such ending in --1

Published by early UT Thursday each week, the original complete
all-band logs in one merged alfabetical file:

Intrnational, November 6-12:

** KIRITIMATI. Bruce Conti, NRC IDXD ed., replies to my obs that 846
carrier is not being heard direct nor at Kaneohe, Oahu, KiwiSDR which
used to hear it well:

``AsiaWaves lists R. Kiribati schedule 0000-0130, 0500-1005,
1825-2030, mwlist 0000-0130, 0530-0936 [12456], 1800-2000, and the
September 2023 Pacific-Asian Log lists 0000-0130, 0500-0935,
1630-2030. [Conti]``

Well, 846 was certainly on air by 0430 if not earlier, last year, and
it`s not clear if these listings be current. 1440 entry in Asiawaves
is dated Jan 2020; and for 846, Oct 2020. Also, same UT sked for 1440
and 846 which are 2 timezones apart?? Is 846 a 100% relay // 1440? PAL
explicitly states they are not //; but both off the air 0130-0500.
I`ll certainly check Oahu later from 0500 or even 0530. If they are
not //, why should each reference claim exactly the same timespans for
both despite two timezones apart? I don`t find any Pacific in mwlist,
hidden? Is Oahu or anyone hearing 846 deeper in the night to -0935,
-0936 or -1005? Hardly ever any audio. It could also be that the
carrier sometimes? stays on during the silent hours. That would not be
reported as part of the schedule. It may really be totally off the
air. Oahu remote at 0530 Nov 6 shows no 846 on waterfall yet suggests
there is an inaudible signal fluxuating between -4.8 and +1.2 Hz. No
different at 0600. I suspect that be a drawback of the SDR.

Casually, one may not realize how far East K. is from West K:
``The islands extend about 3,900 km (about 2,400 mi) from east to
west. From north to south they extend about 2,100 km (about 1,300 mi),
straddling the equator. 4,468 mi {statute?} Distance from My Location

50 kW direxional westward at night. For years was on STA 12 kW ND
after antenna damage. Back in the glory days as KOMA with rock, was a

approximating `kuh-ris-mas` and `kir-ee-bass` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2218 monitoring: confirmed Friday
November 24 at 2148 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9/+8
into UTwente across Europe and no QRM; not bad for 858 km = 533 miles,
5 or 1 kW per mwlist, or maybe already the F.Pl. of 15?

WORLD OF RADIO 2218 monitoring: confirmed Sunday November 26 at 2100
on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+5 into UTwente with no QRM.

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, Nov 25 at 0741, JBA carrier vs WLS, presumably
Algeria; nothing else this late checking a few other 9/kHz splits,
684, 774, 855 kHz Spain. Need to do some full TA carrier bandscans
much earlier in evening, but propagation has been degraded lately
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers, Nov 26 at 0507: 621,
711, 891 kHz, checking likely spots below 1200, not 9/kHz complete
scan; likely Canary, W Sahara, Algeria. No Spains on 684, 774, 855
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

GLENN HAUSER`S WEEKLY LOG ROUNDUPS

Published by early UT Thursday each week, the original complete
all-band logs in one merged alfabetical file:
http://worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html

Yes, I know MW starts at 300 kHz, but may include LW
beacons below that for sake of completeness. It also
extends above to 3000 kHz. I also include reports of
harmonix originating with MW stations.

** CANADA. 2749 USB, Nov 22 at 0746, marine weather in English by YL
voice, S7. Also same synth voice on 2598 USB much stronger S9+20.
Scheduled now are 2749 VCO Sydney NS from 0740 and 2598 VCP Placentia
NL from 0737, first broadcasts of the local days. However, EiBi shows
sites are really:
pc-Port Caledonia NS 46N11'14"-59W53'59"
sl-St Lawrence NL 46N55'09"-55W22'45"
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2749 USB, Nov 26 at 0730 UT, algo JBA in English, presumed
CCG with marine weather; but nothing sked in EiBi or dxinfocentre
before 0740, VCO Sydney NS. Maybe additional for urgent/emergency
info? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Nov 24 at 2320 UT, ND beacon SW in
StillWater is JB readable as the local line noise has finally abated
considerably but still occasional bursts: audiblized are numerous
birdies on LW, nevertheless a good sign, rather than any DX beacons,
yet. OG&E never contacted me after latest complaint, so unknown
whether they really did anything (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 1550, Nov 26 at 1619 UT, `The Bluegrass Express` between
tunes. 1700 ToH ID as ``The Bluegrass Express, on 1550, KKLE,
Winfield, Kansas``. Weak but steady groundwave with SAH probably from
Sapulpa if it`s on. I was checking this out for Mauno Ritola of WRTH,
who asked earlier: ``Hi Glenn, do you hear this station? Is it still
on operation as "Bluegrass Express"? Thanks, Mauno``

I replied at first: ``Believe I did last time I tuned by. Will have to
check in daytime. 73, Glenn`` -- meanwhile Mauno replied:

``Thanks. Later I noticed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KKLE :
"In September 2023, KKLE began airing an all-bluegrass music format,
branded as "The Bluegrass Express"", quoting:

https://www.sumnernewscow.com/wellin...ng-relaunched/
Also reported on the air in October:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tin4bICS_xM
So I suppose they still continue, but if you happen to check, please
confirm. 73, Mauno`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3090 kHz, Nov 26 at 0731 UT, S9 pop music in AM --- whoopee,
must be a third harmonic from 1030. It`s been ages since I have DXed
any such MW harmonic. No other fundamental would be an even fit. This
on the E/W longwire which is icy. Soon find // music tuning the DX-398
to 1030, and rough DF for NW/SE. On 1030 only, CCI from a C2C station,
no doubt KTWO WY, nothing unusual there. Then refined to country
format, 0743 all too brief YL announcement, maybe not an ID, also 0749
between tunes. Also audible weaker on 2060 = 2 x 1030 and 4120 = 4 x
1030; even a JBA carrier on 5150 = 5 x 1030. 6180 unchecked but might
soon confront Brasil. Paucity of 1030 stations around here makes KBUF
Holcomb = Garden City KS very likely, except in current NRC AM Log it
is also a talker. One tune identified at 0746, `The Greatest Man I
Never Knew`, by Reba, i.e. her father. But by 0755, 3090 is fading
down to S5, and gone by 0800 ToH ID time! Are they tweaking the
transmitter?

KBUF doesn`t quite make it here on groundwave daytime circa 1730 UT to
check whether a format change, JBA carrier vs S9+20 line noise. But:
Radio-locator shows address, where else? Valley City ND yet leads to
website with streaming:
https://www.westernkansasnews.com/kbuf/
and guess what, at 1757 it`s C&W music despite ostensible branding as
``The Ag Leader``. 1800 ID and ABC News, 1805 back to country. 1812
ABC News again but JBM on stream, 1813 blasts on with ID and back to
C&W. ``We love being your Ag Leader, KBUF``. 1820, `Sixteen Tons``.
Maybe they are mainly C&W on weekends or part time among talk. Website
does not link to any program schedule; who cares about that?

Going by NRC AM Log, the only C&Ws on 1030 are: WEBS in Georgia, 3
watts at night; and WYCZ in Tennessee, 250. At 1810 I check for
harmonix in daytime but none heard (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

**WG Hauser** · 12-03-2023, 04:28 PM

Domestic, Nov 27-Dec 3, 2023

All times and dates strictly UT!

** OKLAHOMA. 267 MCW kHz, Nov 27 at 0254 UT, HET is JBA for a change,
25 watt NDB from HenryETta, seldom heard. Axually listening on 265
USB; 201 km = 125 stmi from Enid. Still suffering from hi line noise
level, worst on LW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 353 MCW kHz, Nov 27 at 0256, LI, 400 watt NDB from LIttle
Rock AR, seldom heard but now anything outside OK is notable vs local
noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1510 kHz, Dec 3 at 0637 UT, traditional choral Xmas carols,
with WLAC nulled about 6 Hz away. I`m checking following reports that
R. Monumental, Ecuador was being widely heard in N America, but
unlikely to be this. 0700 English ID mentions translator but I can`t
copy any calls. Another try at 0800: KPLS Littleton CO plus 97.7 and
92.9. NRC AM Log shows that`s the `K-plus` group, with KPLS-FM on
97.7 and K225CZ on 92.9. Unless a daytime cheater, I figured it would
likely be this, due to paucity of 1510 night stations around here;
yet, seemingly unlikely due to tight NNE/SSW pattern both day and
night, so we are very much in a null; out of whack? KPLS is also
remarkable with a much *higher* power at night, 10/25 kW.
Night coverage:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pa...service=AM&h=N
Own website shows nothing but 1510, and programming, other stuff such
as Radio 74 International, correlate with 3ABN = 7DA TV network
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1630 kHz, Dec 2 at 0809 UT, KKGM Ft Worth TX with Black
Information Network promo and joint ID for 1630 & 970 in DFW. 970
would be KHVN, also licensed to Ft Worth, why both? For ancient radios
without X-band? No longer heavenly but keeping previous calls.
Radio-locator shows night coverage of 270-watt 970 from site just NE
of FW, ``local`` contour falls short of Dallas; unlike 1 kW 1630 which
from site further NE of FW halfway to Irving, exceeds almost to Balch
Springs, both ND. Studio address axually in Dallas (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 3090, Nov 27 circa 0700 and earlier, not a trace of the KBUF
KS third harmonic I heard 24 hours before. Apparently totally
repaired, but worth further chex just in case along with 2060, 4120,
5150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

also underway the 2030s on WRN N America webcast and RMI webcast only.

Also confirmed UT Sunday December 3 finally at 0532 about 3 minutes
into, so started circa 0529 after nominal 0415, on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
good direct but with CWQRM encroaching during some 160m DX contest.

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2219 monitoring: not confirmed
Friday December 1 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, JBA into
UTwente but no CCI, enough to tell it`s #2218 instead. I was late in
uploading it to IRRS server! They now have 2219 for further airings.
This also reminds me to be sure WRMI has it ASAP. I seem to be getting
forgetful. Via Dec BDXC-UK Communication, note this:

``A test transmission has been heard on 1323 kHz from the Brighton
(Southwick) transmitter which used to carry Smooth Radio Sussex. The
announcement stated “This is an engineering test transmission to
establish the feasibility of new commercial and community radio
stations. If you can hear this broadcast we would be very grateful for
your reception report. You can email broadcastconsultant@gmail.com
Thank you for listening and enjoy the music we have for you as part of
this test transmission.” (mediumwave.info 12-13 November)``

So WOR from Italy on 1323, Fri 2130 & Sun 2100, may regain CCI, but so
far clear even unto UTwente.

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search of entire band at
9/kHz intervals, November 28 at 0430: only 711 het on 710, and rather
strong but no audio pulled. A few years ago, one of the Cuban Rebeldes
was thought to be exactly +1 kHz off-frequency, but surely more likely
the Moroccan imperialist station in Western Sahara. WRTH 2023 shows 8
Rebeldes on 710 from 1 to 200 kW. The 400 kW Moroccan // on 936 used
to be a regular carrier here but has been inactive a few years (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers: Nov 29 circa 0330, 711
kHz; again at 0647 when also detecting 774 & 855 likely Spain, maybe
819? 711 probably Western Sahara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 30 at
0435-0440, including some not usually detected but all are extremely
weak JJBBA: 576, 612, 711, 774, 855, 891, 1008, 1089, 1107, 1161, 1305
and two beating on 1710 = pirates or TIS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 1 at 0435:
855, 891, 1044, likely Spain, Algeria, Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Until the next, Best of DX and 73 de Glenn
