Glenn Hauser logs October 30-31, 2020
** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0620 UT, my shortened and lowered unrepaired longwire still manages to inpull dash and YLD, which is 1000 watt ND beacon from Chapleau, Ontario.
Also 413-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0624, dash and YHD, 250 watts in Dryden, Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA
** CUBA. 18135-USB, Oct 30 at 2014, CO8LY repeating his call fonetikaly, lima-yanqui --- ooooh! over and over; at least I think it was the caller rather than the callee; and the only phone station on band, OPSOB.
``CO8LY Cuba flag Cuba, Eduardo Somoano Cremati, P.O. Box 104, Santiago de Cuba 90100, Cuba`` per QRZ.com but his QSL manager is in Spain, and he`s trying to raise real US$ money to pay for awards he has earned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 17570, Oct 30 at 2016, VP S9-S6 talk in unknown language, 2028 open carrier, 2030* off. HFCC shows it`s AWR in Mos language, 250 kW at 295 degrees favorably USward. WRTH shows it is Mossi, where else, under UK page 496; EiBi readme.txt does not include either spelling in exhaustive language list! Wikipedia says it`s the same as Moore + various spellings, which is; almost 8 mega speak it in Burkina Faso and five nearby countries. And they are on the road to SD Adventism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 4970-USB, Oct 31 at 0153, JBA pirate S3 into Rochester NY SDR, eerie music and narration, I guess a Hallowe`en story as pre-publicized by MARE to start at 0030 for some two hours from Radio Nova; did not get an ID for sure; fading down after 0203. More reports and SSTV here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,73574.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 30 circa 1455 UT, still no signal except weak unmodulated carrier from classical KUCO, Edmond/OKC. Shortly restored my internet access, I can find why on http://www.kucofm.com
``KUCO EMERGENCY STATEMENT 10/30/20 UPDATE
Listener supporters and friends, KUCO 90.1 continues to be off in central Oklahoma, the outage including our internet stream. It’s a fiber optic cable problem and we await restoration from Cox. It’s how we send our signal STL back to the tower from our new location in downtown OKC. The fiber optic is our only option at this time.
Cox Business Ice Storm Outage Update
The Cox Business commercial technical support team is presently working to restore operations to affected areas of the ice storm. They are responding to critical medical and public safety restoration priorities and then additional commercial service impacts. Service outages are primarily due to power outages and ice damage. For power related outages, Cox follows the local energy provider in its recovery as it enters damaged areas once the energy company as declared it safe of power hazards.
We are currently offering our overnight WCPE service via 91.9 KBCW in McAlester and 95.9 KCSC in Woodward. We will keep you posted. Hosts stand ready to go back on the air immediately and we will have our weekend programming running for all three listening areas as well. Thank you for your patience and understanding.`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 332-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0621, ND beacon IC, 40 watts from Wichita - Picnic, Kansas [both with IC in them!], which I had not heard in weeks and feared off the air. Even now it`s JBA under dash and QT, 1000 watts from Thunder Bay, Ontario, which had been the only 332 to be heard among many (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 11720, Fri Oct 30 at 2050, big carrier already from VOA Grimesland, 2059 sign-on, 2100 news by caster working remotely but including an AP axuality; 2105 `Music Time in Africa`, as I commemorate our renewed B-season bigsig access to it weekly off the back from `Greenville`. It`s my napping hour, so despite the lively music I doze in and out. Hyper Heather Maxwell spends too much time chatting with musicians rather than just playing their music; and also disrespects music by talking over it; source countries include Mozambique, Rhodesia, Angola. Also plays old stuff from previous hostess Rita Rochelle. Mid break mentions MTIA airtimes lacking this one; and HHM`s outro as usual ignores it too, just: ``Live`` Saturday and Sunday 1505 and 2005; also on SW Friday 0905, S&S 0905, 1505, 2005 and ``2205-hundred``. 2200 cut to Yankee Doodle sign-off but carrier stays on a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2058 monitoring: I was finally able to upload it to website and stations after 17 UT Oct 30 when my internet access was at last restored by Suddenlink after some 49 hours.

Thanks this week for financial support from ionospheric researcher Dr Phil Erickson, to along with a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com says:
``Dear Mr. Hauser - thanks for decades of faithful work on Review of International Broadcasting, World of Radio, and more. I first received RIB in upstate NY in 1977 and have admired your work ever since. Keeping up now with WOR through groups.io. Good DX, always. -- Phil Erickson, Clinton, MA, USA (de W1PJE)``
Contributions via PayPal not necessarily in US funds.
One may also contribute via money order or check in US funds on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (6160v), UT Sat Oct 31, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`. Starts taking about following the live Youtubecast last Saturday morning of the SAQ Alexanderson Alternator from Sweden, which I also reported about. 0012 says on 7490 and 6160 tonight. 0030 about how in early broadcasting, carbon mikes were hooked directly into transmitters, or something like that; rest of show mostly politix about YKW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA. 6905.93-RCUSB, Oct 31 at 0342, ROCV only a trace to the ear and thinnest of lines on the TWR Bonaire SDR waterfall. Leonardo Santiago in Venezuela meanwhile sends me this info:
``Hi Glenn, On the 29th of October I was listening to this new Venezuelan radio station here in Mérida on 6.906 kHz about 21.30 to 22.15 UTC. They were broadcasting tropical music at most and airing some IDs and contact information from time to time.
You can e-mail them to: rocv6906(at)gmail(dot)com
They also announced a couple of phone numbers which I guess work to contact them via WhatsApp. I have recorded one of the IDs, so when I listen to that I will send you both numbers for you and those who want to contact ROCV via WhatsApp/phone as well.
I have also contacted Mr. Gregorio “Kina” who is in charge of ROCV facilities and asked him if they will verify reception reports with QSL cards. He just replied by saying “send your report to our gmail account for confirmation”, so I still don’t know what kind of confirmation he has referred to if QSL card, eQSL or kind of simple e-mail verification. 73s, Leonardo Santiago, Mérida, Venezuela.``
[later:] ``Hi Glenn. As promised, here you have full contact information for Radio Onda Corta Venezuela, ROCV, as announced by themselves on their broadcasts:
You can e-mail them to: rocv6906(at)gmail(dot)com
Phone numbers: +58-424-8528414 and +58-416-3215947
I have just e-mail them my reception report this morning, so I will inform any news as they reply. Best regards, Leonardo Santiago, Mérida, Venezuela`` --- Tnx, Leonardo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Propagation News – 1 November 2020
RSGB
October 30, 2020
Last week saw more evidence that Solar Cycle 25 is definitely under way. Large sunspot group 2778 caused the solar flux index to rise to 82. And it then got even better when it was joined by active region 2779, which pushed the SFI up further to 88 on Thursday. This is the first time we’ve seen the SFI in the 80s for some time and a clear indication that things are changing for the better.
Both regions were responsible for B and C-class solar flares, but nothing that impacted the ionosphere too much. In addition to the sunspots we did have the lingering effects of a high-speed solar wind stream from a coronal hole, which saw the Kp index rise to four across the weekend.
This corresponded with the SSB leg of the CQWW contest and did have an adverse impact on propagation.
The elevated Kp index continued until late in the week and was still at three on Thursday, preventing the ionosphere from completely recovering. Nevertheless, propquest.co.uk shows that over a 3,000km path maximum usable frequencies often exceeded 24 and even 28MHz at times. Ten metre FT8 proved popular with the eastern states of the USA, Mexico, South America, Cuba, Malawi, Kenya, South Africa, as well as India, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea all being logged on Thursday.
As for next week, the STEREO ahead spacecraft shows a couple of sunspots returning to the Earth-facing solar disk. Regions 2775 and 2777 are coming back, but it is difficult to know how active they will be.
So as we enter November, NOAA predicts the SFI will be roughly 74-75 with quite calm geomagnetic conditions. The Kp index is predicted to be two by Monday, which bodes well for HF.
With the seasonal improvement in ionospheric conditions, a quiet geomagnetic field and possible sunspot activity, the next seven days could be quite good for HF propagation.
VHF and up:
We ended the previous week with very unsettled conditions bringing rain and strong winds at times. This pattern will continue into the first half of next week, so once again we expect GHz bands rain scatter to be on the propagation guest list.
There is a suggestion that a ridge of high pressure will move into Scotland midweek, gradually extending its influence southwards to make tropo a consideration. That said, the ridge may get overwhelmed by returning low pressure next weekend.
Recent unsettled weather, which is usually driven by strong jet streams, would be perfect for summer sporadic E, and it’s worth saying that even out of the traditional sporadic E season, FT8 may bring the occasional surprise. Definitely worth a periodic check on 10m and up.
The Moon’s declination is still rising, reaching maximum late on Thursday, so Moon visibility windows continue to be long. The Moon is just past apogee so path losses are still high. 144MHz sky noise peaks at 500K on Wednesday.
Continue to keep an eye out for low-VHF auroral propagation and remember, we are just over two weeks from the peak of the big Leonids meteor shower. (rsgb.org)

Glenn Hauser logs October 28-29, 2020
NOTE! Apparently due to icestorm in Enid, internet and cable access was lost Wed Oct 28 at 1610 UT, and still not restored almost 48 hours later. I am attempting to get online at library ASAP on Fri Oct30. At least we did not lose power at home like so many others.
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 28 at 1524, LRA36 is on the air for final day of the 2020y winter season as previously publicized; S4-S7 via Brasil KiwiSDR, mostly chat by W&W, bits of music and canned IDs such as at 1530 for ``Nacional -- la radio pública``. Some mentions of Antártida along with Argentina; past 1546. At 1557 I really concentrate, trying to understand what they are colloquially charlando. 1559 a song, 1602 ID and song, and they mention ``último programa -- miércoles``.
Nominally ending at 1600 but always running overtime, still going at 1610 when I suddenly lose Suddenlink internet, as well as cable, and it`s still off 3 hours later, no doubt to be blamed on the OK icestorm. SL robot tells me they hope to have it repaired by =20 UT. Nope. Then =24 UT: nope. At 01 UT Oct 29 I call again: now it`s ASAP. Meanwhile my datamining in preparation for next WOR 2058 has ground to a halt.
Manuel Méndez previously forwarded the latest notice he received from Base Esperanza which I transcribe from jpg. Note names of staff. Next winter`s crew could be partially or totally different, resuming in February or March? I would rather spend a summer in Antarctica than a winter, but that`s just me.
``El equipo de LRA 36 Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel se despide del ciclo 2020. Te esperamos a las 11 (14 Hs UTC) hasta las 13 Hs para que junto a
Eliana Baraldo, Julia Morena, Tamara Milán, Yanina Galeano, Damián Tranamil y el director Norman Nahueltripay cerremos un gran año de la radio mas {sic} austral del mundo.`` Tranamil is the one to whom go reports (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
{late news from Mendez: ``final`` broadcast will be repeated Sat Oct 31}
** CUBA. 13700 & 13740, Oct 28 at 1506, RHC is running late with a speech, live event? No doubt by some Commie; then also audible still going past 1508 on 9535, 11760, 15140, JBA carrier 15230; past 1522, 7350 and 6000 also (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA [non]. 7255, Oct 29 at 0616, VON absent, while Qur`an makes it on 7245, presumably Algeria via France (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Oct 28 at 2356 UT, silly sports talk from WKY OKC keeps hiccuping, modulation dropping out about once a second; with BFO I can tell the carrier is also dropping off, timed at the rate of about 48/minute until it stop doing that (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 28 into Oct 29 past 1500 UT, KUCO-FM OKC appears to be on the air but with weakened carrier only vs other classical station KHCC Radio Kansas. KUCO studio if not transmitter probably part of widespread power outage in OKC due to icestorm. Still the same Oct 30 past 1400 --- hearing KHCC Radio Kansas 90.1 but also seeming dead carrier from KUCO (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** U S A. 18130-USB, Oct 28 at 1510, W5KI concluding a contact; and just before at 1509 on 18115-USB, another JBA ham, a WA3, discussing a silly baseball game. I often scan the so-called 17m hamband for any signs of activity, usually without. 16m too: now 17775- KVOH only JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2057 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday October 28
until 2129:19, so started circa 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490v, S7-S9.
Also confirmed Wed Oct 28 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S2-S5 via broken-LW-on-the-ground-under-icy-tree-debris.
Not confirmed UT Thu Oct 29 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA carrier, but probably.
Next WOR 2058 may be delayed depending on when internet outage be fixed and on whether power be lost at HQ.
WOR 2057 did have to replay UT Fri Oct 30 at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 VG and 5010 fair-good.
Later: WOR 2058 has been produced but unable to upload to website or ftp to affiliates. Instead will attempt to send as email attachment via library computer, ASAP October 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9395, Oct 28 at 1502, this WRMI is still off, nor is that BS replaced by extending 9955 into midday as was planned; yet 9455 remains in well with own BS. It`s overkill anyway, when 9395 & 9455 carry same programming 60 kHz apart on same parameters. But TOMBS fell for that, too much sucker money to spend (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 870, Oct 28 at 2353 UT, WWL New Orleans still has plenty of time for commercials as the eye of Hurricane Zeta is right over the city. Eventually gets back to coverage, callers, and reports from parish sheriff(s). 0000 Oct 29 into CBS News leading with a report from the same WWL guy; some fades vs something hetting in its null. Then locally explains the modified jock schedule overnight, including this one coming back at 6 am [CDT] -- that is apparently his normal shift as he keeps saying ``good morning`` now and swears at himself for sodoing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Conservative Analyst Bill Kristol:
A Trump Second Term Would Be Dangerous
President Trump’s America has been characterized by political polarization. Also notable has been the exodus of prominent Republicans from the GOP. One high-profile example is Bill Kristol, who served in the administrations of both Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. He now leads Defending Democracy Together, a coalition of anti-Trump Republicans. He spoke with Walter Isaacson about the possible cost to his former party, should its members continue to back this administration unconditionally.

The K7RA Solar Update
Tad Cook, K7RA, Seattle, reports: Our sun is finally waking up. The average daily sunspot number rose this week from 15 to 17, which is nothing remarkable, but the reporting week ended on Wednesday with a daily sunspot number of 36. Average daily solar flux rose from 74.5 to 76.9.
The two sunspot regions currently visible, 2778 and 2779, have been growing rapidly. The total sunspot areas in millionths of the solar disc on October 27 – 29 were 140, 230, and 440. Such activity has not been seen since May 5 – 7, 2019, when the total sunspot area was 280, 300, and 410. Going farther back, the last time the sunspot area was higher than the 440 we saw on Thursday was late September and early October 2017, when the sunspot area reached 560. You can find these old records here.
Predicted solar flux is 88 on October 30 – 31, which is remarkable; 82, 78, 75, and 72 on November 1 – 4; 74 on November 5 – 7; 75 on November 8 – 12; 72 on November 13; 70 on November 14 – 21; 74 and 72 on November 22 – 23; 70 on November 24 – 26; 72 on November 27; 74 on November 28 – December 4; 75 on December 5 – 9; 72 on December 10, and 70 on December 11 – 13.
Predicted planetary A index is 8, 5, 12, and 8 on October 30 – November 2; 5 on November 3 – 6; 10 on November 7; 5 on November 8 – 16; 10, 8, and 12 on November 17 – 19; 18, 15, and 20 on November 20 – 22; 15, 10, and 8 on November 23 – 25; 5 on November 26 – 27; 8 on November 28, and 5 on November 29 – December 13.
F.K. Janda, OK1HH, sends his geomagnetic activity forecast for the period October 30 – November 25.
The geomagnetic field will be:
quiet on November 5 – 7, 10 – 11
quiet to unsettled on October 31, November 12 – 15
quiet to active on October (30,) November (3 – 4, 8 – 9,) 16, 23 – 25
unsettled to active November (1 – 2, 17 – 19,) 21 – 22
active to disturbed November 20
Solar wind will intensify on October (30 – 31,) November (2,) 3 – 5, (18 – 20,) 21 – 25
Note: Parentheses mean lower probability of activity enhancement. OK1HH predicts disturbed conditions on the day prior to the ARRL November Sweepstakes phone weekend (November21 – 22), but over that weekend, Friday through Sunday, the NOAA/USAF prediction sees the planetary A index at 18, 15, and 20.
I frequently check the PSK Reporter map for connections from CN87, my local grid square. With the increasing solar activity over the past couple of days I’ve seen worldwide 12-meter propagation via FT8 reported.
I also check the STEREO site to peek across the solar horizon looking for upcoming activity. Right now on Thursday night I see some big white blotches, in both the southern and northern hemispheres, indicating possible activity.
We received this report on October 29 from Jeff, N8II, in West Virginia:
“Today was a great day on 10 – 15 meters, with the SFI reported as high as 88! I was slow to get started, but worked about 20 Europeans on 10 meters with some signals around S-9. At one point, four out of five CW QSOs in a row were new band slots on 10-meter CW in my 4-year-old log: Hungary, Ireland, Slovak Republic, and Montenegro, also adding Serbia. Some signals from England, Wales, and Italy were still good copy past 1600 UTC. Most 12-meter activity was FT8, but I did work loud stations from France and Bulgaria.
“In the CQ WW phone contest, I worked mainly 15, but was peeking at 10 long enough to work four stations in Italy quite early around 1325 UTC; at the same time there was sporadic E to Newfoundland on Saturday. I worked three French stations, plus OE2S in Austria, DL5L in Germany, and the loudest, PI4DX in the Netherlands, about S-8 in the 1500 UTC hour on Sunday.
“I expected to hear no signals on 15 at the 0000 UTC start, as it was nearly 2 hours past sunset. I was surprised to make 26 QSOs before the band died past 0100 UTC. At the start, there was sporadic E to Florida and Cuba, and stations from southern South America were workable. Into the Pacific, I worked three stations in Hawaii, New Zealand, and Australia.
“All weekend the K index was either 3 or 4, and especially on Saturday, it hurt propagation to Europe despite an early opening to southern Europe. The most northern QSOs were Scotland and Poland. But, there were plenty of stations from central and western Europe to work, and late in the opening I caught a big gun in the Ukraine. The 250-kHz phone band filled up by 1300 UTC. I could tell that propagation to Germany was limited, and UK stations were not as loud as on a recent ‘normal’ day. In fact, Friday before the WW was one of the best European openings of the season so far.
“In the afternoon many stations in South America were active, particularly from Brazil and Argentina, but signals mid-afternoon were weaker than expected. African signals from the Madeira and Canary Islands were loud until about 1900 UTC. I also worked 7Q6M in Malawi, and ZS6TVB in South Africa. Over both days, conditions were often good to the Middle East. I logged Israel, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, missing Lebanon which I had worked multiple times the week prior. The last stations worked were around 2340 UTC in Mexico.
“Sunday, conditions were better to Europe and South America. I started filling in the Northern European map, working Belarus, UB7K in southern Russia, Lithuania, OH0V, in Aland Islands, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, missing two weak stations from Estonia. After the band closed fairly late to Europe, there was an auroral sporadic E opening to Finland around 2000 UTC working OH1F and OG6N about 3 kHz apart.
“Band crowding was severe during the European opening, making it hard to hear weaker signals. I noticed US big guns working European stations I could not hear or barely heard the last 90 minutes of the opening. ZD7BG on St. Helena in the South Atlantic was very difficult to work, due to the pile-up, but finally it logged around 1915. I kept looking for Alaska, Japan, or north/east Pacific stations to no avail, due to the disturbed conditions both days. South American stations were workable an hour past sunset, but no new Pacific countries were heard.”
Jon Jones, N0JK, of Lawrence, Kansas wrote:
“Last week's bulletin mentioned sporadic-E reported by Mike, KA3JAW on 6 meters on October 17. More sporadic-E appeared on 6 meters the following week, and some interesting links and propagation occurred.
“On October 22, there was a major sporadic E opening on 50 MHz across the eastern half of North America. The sporadic E was able to link to late afternoon TEP (trans-equatorial-propagation) on to Brazil. Stations in New England and along the eastern seaboard were able to work deep into Brazil. This with a solar flux of only 75.
“October 24 sporadic E took place from the Heartland to the southeast states in the evening on 50 MHz. KF0M (EM17), N0LL (EM09), and N0JK (EM28) made 6-meter FT8 contacts to Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina around 0030 (October 25 UTC). Earlier, I had sporadic E on 10 meters to Mexico, working XE1KK and XE1RK on 28.074 MHz FT8.
“The following morning a very unusual opening took place on 6 meters around 1440 UTC. Transatlantic multi-hop sporadic Es occurred from New England to central Europe. This is the first transatlantic October sporadic E opening I am aware of. Es openings are rare in October, and a multi-hop transatlantic opening of this magnitude is incredible.”
Max White, M0VNG, sent this from the UK concerning our sun’s reawakening:
Here’s the latest from Tamitha Skov, WX6SWW.
Sunspot numbers for October 22 – 28 were 11, 11, 11, 11, 17, 22, and 36, with a mean of 17. The 10.7-centimeter flux was 74.9, 72, 72.1, 74.2, 75, 82.4, and 87.6, with a mean of 76.9. Estimated planetary A indices were 6, 12, 17, 15, 15, 9, and 12, with a mean of 12.3. Middle latitude A index was 3, 10, 16, 9, 15, 7, and 9, with a mean of 9.9.

Studio 52 broadcasts on 14 November, and 1 & 2 January
NETHERLANDS [non]. From the Studio 52 website at https://studio52radiogroup.jimdofree.com here are the details of upcoming broadcasts:
"On the end of this year and the begin of the new year organizes the Studio52-Radiogroup the followed transmissions:
On Saturday, 14th November Radio60! will go on air with the 6045-shortwave-show from 11:00 to 14:00 UTC on 6045kHz with 100kW. This live-transmission is produced again together with Hitmix-Radio as guest DJ, whose program comes in the second hour of transmission from his Studio.
On the begin of the new year again run the "Studio52-Happy-New-Year-Show" for Europe on 1th January 2021 12:00 - 14:00 UTC on 5990kHz with 100kW via the Shortwave-Operation-Center of the Media Broadcast Nauen/Germany.
On the first Saturday of the new year on 02.January 2021 from 11:00 to 14:00 UTC runs the next 6045-shortwave-show with the combination Radio60! & Hitmix-Radio as guest DJ on 6045 kHz.
The technical specialty of this transmission for the specialists of our listeners will be the "flying" change of the transmitter while the running show at 12:05 UTC. Because of organizational reasons (Radio SeTa2 used this 100kW-transmitter on 6095kHz until 12:00 UTC) we will start at 11:00 UTC on 6045 kHz with a other 125kW-transmitter. At 12:05 UTC the 100kW-transmitter will be run for a few seconds parallel with modulation on 6045 kHz. The 125kW-transmitter then will be switched off and we use the 100kW-transmitter until the end of the transmission 14:00 UTC.
If you send us a correct rapport, then always we send the eQSLs shortly after our transmissions."

TEXAS RADIO SHORTWAVE TESTING TWO 75-METER BAND FREQUENCIES THIS WEEKEND
Cap’n Ric says Texas Radio Shortwave will be testing on two frequencies in the 75-meter band in the next few days. These broadcasts will allow TRSW to evaluate frequencies to reach European listeners:
October 31, 2020, 1800-1900 UTC on Mike Radio (NL) on 3940 kHz
November 1, 2020, 1700-1800 and 1800-1900 UTC on Channel 292 (DE) on 3955 kHz.
The program will feature a selection of music (gospel, ragtime, blues, rock, and rap) performed by Texas artists.
There is a special eQSL for correct, detailed reception reports for EACH frequency. Two different cards feature pictures of armadillos, the state animals of Texas.
Listeners who submit correct reports for BOTH TESTS will receive a THIRD "Collector's Edition” eQSL.
TRSW’s email is texassradiosw@gmail.com

Glenn Hauser logs October 26-27-28, 2020
** CUBA. 9885 and 9805, Oct 26 at 0543, lite pulse jamming against nothing; 9805 is an ex-Martí frequency but never at this hour, and 9885 is currently VOA French to Africa via Vatican, unheard. Something`s always wrong at the Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Date correct, omitted from previous report
** OKLAHOMA. Except for a split-second glitch, we haven`t yet lost power in this part of Enid, unlike 4 to 6 thousand other OG&E customers; but circa 2300 UT Oct 27, my main 100-foot longwire antenna for the R75 is broken and on the ground under tree debris felled by severe ice storm. With a lot of icing on it, had been supported by three trees in a row; and before that the last segment was already down; once warmed up and cleared, fixing it or replacing it is not a very big job, but I am so sad for our poor trees! Meanwhile I can still try to use it, or switch to ``indoor longwire`` strung around the ceilings of two rooms. A third wave of freezing rain is on the way from El Paso (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PERU [and non]. 4764, Oct 28 at 0002, VP signal from presumed Radio Huanta 2000, before Cuba sometimes start Progreso at 0030 on 4765, tnx to tip from LOB in Brasil who was getting it a few minutes earlier, and has not been active every night. I`m listening via a remote not far from him which is getting it better than another remote which is closer to Perú. To boot, it also gets a weaker het/carrier from 4765 and it`s still not Cuba. Must be TAJIKISTAN which per EiBi, not Aoki, comes on at 2259. Here direct at 0017 via broken wire, I only have JBA carrier on 4764 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 11720, Oct 27 at 2124, VOA rock music S9+30, as B-season-only hour in English via Grimesland has resumed, 250 kW due east and thus also with a bigsig opposite off the back at ideal skip distance. This also means that on Fridays at 2105-2200 we may again easily hear `Music Time in Africa` unlike in the A-seasons when the only SW frequency is JBA 15580 Botswana --- and I bet hostess hyper Heather is still unaware of this outsending. Now if I can only remember, at an inconvenient time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [non]. 12075, Oct 27 at 2112, S9+10 English lesson for French about buying shoes: it`s VOA, 100 kW, 350 degrees via BOTSWANA M-F at 2100-2130, and followed by Bambara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2057 monitoring, next:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] [NEW]
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** VENEZUELA. 6905.930v-RCUSB, Oct 28 at 0057 via TWR Bonaire SDR, peppy tropical tunes mostly vocal at S6-S7. At 0100 a 5+1 timesignal which must be crosstalk from something, mixing with continuing music. 0105 automated timecheck for 9:04, and others are consistently one minute slow. Canned IDs of 3 or 4 varieties play between every 2 or 3 songs, None mentioning Venezuela 93.7 nor the next station to be relayed, LV del Tigre 980 --- just ``ROCV, 6906``. At 0111, grandiose ``transmitiendo a nivel mundial`` and contact info for reports too rapid for me to copy and I`m as usual not recording, seeming e-mail, phone, postal? ``Sus reportes son importante para nosotros`` but not explicitly promising any QSL. 0119 another ID, etc., etc., and 0204 again the one with contact info (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Right-wing U.S. Christians have engineered an almost parallel version of the faith, writes Michael Coren · for CBC News Opinion · Posted: Oct 27, 2020 4:00 AM ET |
...One of the ironies of the United States is that a country that so roars about the concept of the separation of church and state has a political system so drenched in religiosity. The divinity's followers vote in enormous numbers and many U.S. politicians are genuine believers, whatever their party allegiance.
And then there is Donald Trump. Even though he won the support of more than 80 per cent of white evangelicals in 2016 and is still highly popular with Christians of many denominations, there's little sign that he's an authentic person of faith. His personal behaviour is unusual for someone who says he is a Christian, and his policies routinely appear to be the antithesis of the Gospel values of peace, love, and justice... https://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/opinion-christian-conservative-support-donald-trump-1.5776988 (via Richard Langley, NB)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Oct 27 at 1414: nothing found in the 13s, 12s or 11s WOOB until I get to a JBA carrier on 10870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13700, Oct 27 at 1411, RHC is S9 of dead air, while 13740 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 840, WHAS Louisville KY to be off the air again for tower maintenance from 0400 UT Oct 27: tnx to tip from Chris Gay, KU4A to the WOR iog, which quickly spread to MW-only DX groups:
``I just learned that 840 WHAS will go off the air again tonight for tower maintenance starting at midnight EDT (0400Z). The length of the outage was not announced.``
At 0402 I tune in to find WHAS still on during Kentucky news, but after asserting ``broadcasting live 24/7``, ha2, cuts off at 0405.7* --- but back on in a few seconds, that was quick! During weather from WLKY-TV; why not WHAS-TV??, 0406 into weird talkshow, `Ground Zero` about ``shadow archetypes, lurkers showing up at 3 am``.
Recheck at 0425 now WHAS is off, and the only signals I am getting loop SE/NW, but with splash from 850 KOA: music, 0428 Spanish? No sign from the south of KVJY Pharr in the RGV of TX, U4 5/1 kW, also Spanish which is normally the #1 competitor to WHAS. Main signal is surely 10 kW CMHW in Santa Clara, Cuba, but has a 1.1 Hz SAH, which could be the other further 1 kW Cuban, CMKC, R. Revolución, Palma Soriano, Santiago province; or some other LA. Not rechecked until 0535, WHAS still off, some fading faster SAH carriers on E-W longwire, but on DX-398, music with slow SAH dominant from SE. 0600 still that with no ID break, but *0601 WHAS cuts back on JIP news; 0615 check it`s off again. One more check before I quit, WHAS off and on at 0632*-*0633 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9605, Oct 27 at 0122, S9+10/20 of rock music, presumably K-pop [what`s the big deal about that?], 0128 announcement in Spanish, KBSWR relay still going via WHRI. It`s Oct 27 but HFCC still has not published a non-tentative B-20 schedule, the latest still dated Oct 23 despite season starting Oct 25! With double registration for 9605 by FCC and by ENCompass, but also 5990 for same broadcast via Grimesland NC, i.e. USAGM. Axual date of switchover unknown, apparently depending on when the sale of WHRI to WBCQ close. Nothing yet on 5990.
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1 KUCO-FM and 91.7 KOSU, Oct 27 from 1430 UT, both our public radio stations from OKC are suffering brief drops off air, presumably due to icing on their antennas, as we are being hit by a terrible ice storm. Cable and internet also lost in Enid circa 1600 UT, so we must rely only on OTA TV via roof antenna. Until we lose power too? 282,000 Oklahoma customers of OG&E, PSO and others are reported to be powerless as of 1700 on KWTV news; and the OG&E systemwatch website was down even before we lost internet. Back online by 1750 as I hasten to post this (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** U S A. 426-MCW kHz, Oct 27 at 0625 UT, JBA NDB ID as IZS, which is 25 watts from Montezuma, Georgia, SW of Warner Robins and Perry, right next to Oglethorpe. Nothing else unusual LW logged vs the noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2057 monitoring: confirmed Monday October 26 from 1900.5 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, time-shifted one UT hour later for 5 months; monitored via UTwente, carrier on from *1857; 1859.8 quick ID and FSN headlines before WOR. Heavy unevitable ACI splash from 7295 CRI English westward from Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of cultural genocide by the ChiCom against Uyghurs; and also from 7280 Voice of Vietnam: despite being -10 kHz away, it remains just as bad as the +5, meaning switching LSB/USB tuning does not help. WOR completely readable if you put up with the noise. Spotchex indicate WOR airs intact, and ending at 1929.5 with no chopoff! Brief horn, IRRS address with Milano P O Box they supposedly have quit using; and into FSN more than headlines.
Also confirmed UT Tue Oct 27 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA S5-S7 here, good S8-S9 into UTwente.
Also confirmed UT Tue Oct 27 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9+10 at Bonaire SDR. Next:

** U S A. 7505, Oct 27 at 0120, WRNO is on with gospel huxter in English at S9+10 but quite undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 840, WHAS Louisville KY off for maintenance: See CUBA [and non]

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS UPDATE Oct 26
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES UPDATE Oct 25
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 26 at 0338, anonymous mystery missionary station is still going, VG into Bonaire SDR, gospel huxter in Spanish. One does not want to waste time listening to him in hopes of a definite explicit full ID, but we shall be grateful if anyone determine whence this axually emanate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** INDIA. Re my not hearing final minutes of AIR Jaipur: ``Hello Glenn, AIR Jaipur went off SW as scheduled at 1751 UTC. Delhi & Jaipur may be in skip at that time for 4910. Even Hyderabad was in skip with them then but I could hear only a very faint carrier which went off at 1751 UTC. Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS, National Institute of Amateur Radio, Hyderabad, India`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH. Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 6170.090, Oct 25 at 1355 and still 1448, JBA off-frequency carrier as I hunt for RNZI, which I later find from 1259 has moved from 6170 to 6115 as of October 26. Tentative B-20 HFCC even shows Bangladesh at 13-14 on 6170! Most likely this be KOREA NORTH, VOK with PBS relay to Europe as per Arnulf`s B-20 schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``
Oct 25 - Heard VOK at 1225, on 6170.08 (Glenn's measurement is probably more accurate) // 6185.0 (which now blocks CHBC/China reception); both with fair reception here on the West Coast. Ron Howard`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 12035, Oct 26 at 1448, weak music and goes off by 1449. Nothing scheduled but my informed theory is: VOT English at 1330-1425 failed to turn off reactivated 12035, and change frequency for Kazakh at 1430-1500 as now B-20 scheduled on 9505. Same thing has happened previously. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2057 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday October 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG here on WNW beam.
Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 26 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, good at UTwente to the NE.
Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 26 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, S8/S9+5 at UTwente
where // 5800 is JBA, but S9+10 VG into Bonaire TWR KiwiSDR to the
SSE. Also confirmed on WRN webcast, already shifted one UT hour later
Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 26 starting at 0308.4 on Area 51 webcast, preceding show running late. Also on WBCQ 6159.94v, S9/+10 at 0329 check direct.
Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 26 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, JBA carrier less than the pulse jamming here, but S9/+5 at Bonaire with jamming detectable only during fades. Next:
NOTE that previous previews missed the 1-hour-later timeshift already in effect for IRRS. Tentative HFCC confirms and also shows new ACI from 7295 CRI English westward from Urumqi. Vietnam still on 7280.
1901vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] [NEW]

** U S A. 9955, Oct 26 at 0400, WRMI is still off, closing now after WOR, but supposedly stays on all day instead of missing 9395.
9955, Monday Oct 26 at 1455, is still on S9+10 with TOMBS // 9455. Ditto at 1715 check. 9395 had been nothing but TOMBS or SMTV all day long, so no loss or gain here.
9395, Oct 26 at 1450, this WRMI is making a comeback after several days down: S7-S9 open carrier with weak tone. Off at 1715 check.
At 1450 I also have extremely distorted spurblobs circa 9441 and 9486, but can`t relate them to 9395, 9455 or any Cuban. Not there at 1715 check, Possibly a local device (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7490.003, Oct 26 at 0548, surprised to find gospel huxter in English, way later than WBCQ is scheduled, not BS // TOMBS on 7570 WRMI; and too close to on-frequency for Monticello. O, in B-20 HFCC, WHRI has 7490, 250 kW, 47 degrees at 0430-0600, so now it`s a 3-way timeshare with WBCQ and WWCR --- soon to be WBCQ`s, but what callsign will apply to Furman?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13650-13655-13660, Oct 26 at 1415, DRM noise on WINB`s new hybrid frequency for B-20, 1200-1700 M-F, ex 15745-15750-15755. The lower half is not traditional DRM noise but secret data stream probably involving high-speed stock trading (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA. 6906.1-RCUSB, Oct 26 at 0339, straining to hear ROCV via Bonaire SDR, can only detect a JBA carrier by USB tuning offset slightly below (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
19 - 25 October 2020
Solar activity was very low with only B-class flare activity
observed primarily from Region 2776 (S14, L=162, class/area Cso/100
on 18 Oct). No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal to moderate levels on 19-24 Oct. High levels were reached on
25 Oct due to coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) influence. The
maximum flux was 5,670 pfu observed at 25/1845 UTC.
Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels. Solar
wind parameters were at or near nominal levels on 19-22 Oct with
solar wind speed ranging from 327-450 km/s and total field from 1-10
nT. The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels on 20 Oct, quiet to
unsettled levels on 19 and 22 Oct, and isolated active levels were
observed on 21 Oct. By 23 Oct, a positive polarity CH HSS became
geoeffective. Solar wind speed increased to a maximum near 595 km/s
while total field initially increased to 15 nT. The geomagnetic
field responded with quiet to active levels on 23-25 Oct.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
26 October - 21 November 2020
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a slight
chance for C-class flares on 26 Oct - 01 Nov as new Region 2778
(S19, L=088, class/area Cai/080 on 26 Oct) rotates across the
visible disk. Very low levels are expected on 02-21 Nov.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at normal to moderate levels on 02-20 Nov. High
levels are expected on 26 Oct - 01 Nov and again on 21 Nov due to CH
HSS influences.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be reach unsettled to
active levels on 26-29 Oct, 01 Nov, and 17-21 Nov with G1 (Minor)
geomagnetic storm levels likely on 26 Oct due to recurrent CH HSS
effects.
