** ALBANIA. 9855-, Oct 8 at 0127, R. Tirana IS plus humroar = only S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Fri Oct 7 at 1918, no signal from LRA36, but time to keep an ear on this, as per report from Italy quoted on WORLD OF RADIO 1846 that they hope to get antenna tower repaired soon and back on the air. Previous schedule was roughly 18-21 UT Mon-Fri only.
Incredibly, despite its protracted absence, not heard since last year (altho it tried to come back July 27) no one has usurped 15475 (last used by Gabon until it crashed), nor is there anything on 15470 during RNASG hours; but there is now something on 15480, which is AWR Arabic via Madagascar at 19-20 (and also R. Publique Africaine via France to Burundi at 18-19). IIRC LRA36 was rather USB, but in this case one might prefer LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 15345.26v, Oct 7 at 1921, RAE is JBA at S1, and frequency is varying as I measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 900, Oct 8 at 0154, historical talk in Spanish about Cuba mixing with ad in English for a .ca website. Therefore I am getting 50 kW R. Progreso from way off in San Germán, Holguín (with // 890, 200 kW in closer Chambas, Ciego de Ávila blocked by WLS which I am not trying to null); and, 50 kW CHML Hamilton, Ontario (likely rather than CKBI Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, a rarity here). One could easily be getting Mexican or lots of little US stations on 900 too, for four countries at once (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Oct 8 at 0144, RHC is OFF this frequency, still on 6000, 6060, 6165, 9535, etc. Maybe they are finally working on that transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 7215, Oct 8 at 0134, very poor yet S7 signal with Qur`an. It`s VIRI, 0030-0230, 500 kW, 289 degrees from Zahedan in Arabic. Would a ham on top of it be taken as an attack upon Islam? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 17790, Oct 7 at 1913, WRMI has recovered electric fluid, but this one BS frequency is still AWOL (more under WRMI logs).
[non non] 17765, meanwhile, Oct 7 at 1914, BS via WHRI is S9+45 and splattering from 17740 to 17785. Fortunately for KVOH it`s already off 17775 this Friday, but would be hit before 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, Oct 7 at 1949, now this WRMI frequency is missing (while 11565 BS is OK as usual); after 2000, 11580 is still off, so I can`t monitor what program or World Music is really on today.
7730, UT Sat Oct 8 at 0009, WRMI is still repeating the CDXA special tribute to Ecos del Torbes from two months ago, altho it had been erased from the skedgrid leaving a blank space. I can think of another DX program which could fit in there, new every week.
See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non] for another missing WRMI frequency.
11580, Sat Oct 8 at 0119, Xmas carol already, ``We Three Kings``, not sure of language on poor signal. This is the quarter-hour merely labeled `Hymns` on schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Friday October 7 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.065-CUSB, S9+10.
Note: the second item on this WOR about Argentina MW 750 being DXed in Ontario has been retracted by the reporter: it was really Venezuela.

** U S A. 12105, Oct 7 at 1925, WTWW-3 is open carrier of dead air rating S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15555-USB, Oct 7 at 1938, WJHR with S9 signal, much better than usual, often JBA at an awkward propagational distance. Program is `Jewish Voice Ministries`, topic ``the rôle of Israel in last-days prophecy``, so unseems the usual John Hill, diversifying? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, Fri Oct 7 at 1932, no signal from WINB, but recheck at 1952, now it`s on with gospel huxter at S9, about the same level as neighbor 9275 WMLK which was already on with DEJOM. WINB program sked updated October 2 shows weekday sign-on now is supposedly 1930, much earlier on weekends. No longer listed is Unique Radio Saturdays at 1100, nor anywhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7268-LSB, Oct 8 at 0133, very poor signal from someham inviting direct weather observations to be relayed to the National Hurricane Center (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1440, Oct 8 at 0148 UT, Xfinity internet ad on the Cubs Radio Network. Handy list of their few affiliates includes the one I expected, WGEM Quincy IL:

UNIDENTIFIED. 6780, Oct 8 at 0138, JBA carrier. This happens to be an ISM frequency like its exact double 13560, so could be attractive to piracy. Nothing audible now on 6770, 6875 or anywhere in the 6.9s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
