Glenn Hauser logs October 8-9, 2016

** ARGENTINA. 15345v, Saturday Oct 8 at 1834, no signal detectable at all from RAE ATTW, nor at 1851. Is English really on the air weekends now as promised?

11710v, UT Sunday Oct 9 at 0307, NO signal circa 11710.6v either, so it looks like their promise to expand to 7 days a week was empty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 9 at 0002, RHC is back on tonight, in Kriyol, but still undermodulated, and suffering excessive splash from 5050 WWRB. Really, it`s Cuba which ought to do the splashing, like around 11670! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 15625-15630-15635, Oct 8 at 1827, DRM style noise jamming but VOA Amharic on 15630 is still readable. Then I look for // frequencies.

15700 via Lampertheim, Germany is reported to be one such, and there is something weak here, and apparently no jamming, but not enough audio to make a // to 15630. Also reported were a bunch in the 12s, as of Sept 23 via Wolfgang Büschel in DXLD 16-39 under USA, which were already getting jammed, but tuning across them now, I don`t detect any AM or DRM, presumably too low to be propagating here at midday: 12040, 12080, 12110, 12140, the sites switching around among Lampertheim, Woofferton and Kuwait. I don`t remember a 13 MHz one, but scanning that band I do find:

13855-13860-13865, Oct 8 at 1845, here`s more DRM noise and enough AM signal within it to make a // to 15630, apparently Woofferton too at the moment. Wolfy also figured the formerly M-F Amharic broadcasts had also been expanded to daily, and indeed this is Saturday. Concerns 18-19 UT Amharic, flanked by Oromo at 1730-1800 and Tigrinya at 1900-1930 on more or less the same jumparound frequencies. 

I wish some DRM enthusiasts would tune these jammers and report if anything intelligible is audible or visible from them. They might as well play some nice music, à la Firedragon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUINEA. 9649.98, Oct 8 at 2343, African music maybe in French, fair signal, presumed. R. Guinée, Conakry which closes around 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 15360, Oct 8 at 1823, poor signal in Russian. Aoki shows it`s KBSWR this hour, relayed via Woofferton UK, 300 kW at 74 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, Oct 8 at 1820, DRM noise, no doubt Voice of Nigeria, scheduled in English at 1800-2000, but seldom reported lately; has it really been on? I also detect a JBA AM carrier amid at about 15121; nothing else scheduled now: could it be the other VON site competing with the DRM site?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.0-USB, Oct 8 at 2348, big band music at S9: bet it`s Wolverine Radio: yes, such an ID interjected at 0010.5 October 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. 13695, Oct 8 at 1838, Brother Scare via WRMI is talking about staying on 12 WRMI transmitters if station has survived Matthew, as he hopes, having ``rebuked`` the storm and winds on behalf of WRMI, like Jesus allegedly did about some such threat. Complains of a false prophet from the west coast bothering him, trying to supplant R. G., overcome his ministry.

Apparently a playback now, referring to conditions ``tonight`` and later to Thursday night. Says the Compound is 50 miles west of Charleston, and he is ``not going anywhere``, despite evacuation order that far inland. Well, by Saturday, the hurricane has moved on, leaving flooding and other destruxion in SC. Note to self: must *rebuke* stuff, as it seems to be so effective. 

On another segment BS was begging already for another megabuck donor to cover broadcast costs in 2017, to be renegotiated with stations in December. This is obviously a lifeline especially for WRMI, so sure hope Jeff has a contingency plan when 85-year-old BS imminently goes to his heavenly reward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15239.96, Sat Oct 8 at 1818, recheck of R. Munansi via WWRB (which I had heard starting in English just after 1600): Now it`s open carrier/dead air; is no one paying attention? Still DA at 1822, 1834; finally at 1849 modulation has resumed, now lo-fi internet feed of presumed Luganda talk. Still a huge signal today, unlike sometimes JBA; at a critical propagation distance from TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Saturday October 8 after 2230 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB via the BST-1 caradio. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490), Sat Oct 8 around 2315 it`s more convenient for me to check WBCQ webcasts, and (5130) Area 51 --- to my surprise, both are carrying `Radio TimTron Worlwide`, altho far out of synch. 7490 is supposed to be `Shortwave Saturday Night`.

By 2336, I am on the NRD-545 instead (never with internet at same time), and now SWSN is indeed on 7490 not // 5130 TimTron; was there a change in the meantime, or a protracted mixup in web feeds? 9330 is in a few-week-old playback of `Allan Weiner Worldwide` about how equipment smells, TimTron guesting here too, and called upon for reception antenna advice. 3250: no signal audible.

At 2359, 7490 chops off J. P. Ferraro in progress for a canned WBCQ ID and immediately into a KCAA ID with the `Mitch & Kathy` show at 0000 UT Sunday Oct 9. Now I recheck 3250 and find a JBA carrier about 3250.065, so maybe that`s WBCQ continuing J. P.`s show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 11580, Sat Oct 8 after 2000, checking what`s on WRMI now: `Frecuencia al Día`; and after 2030: Hobart Radio International, additional airing filling in a blank on the sked when last checked. Later in the semi-hour we hear Rob talking about hurricane hitting Bahamas Thursday. Excuse me, but with saturation coverage in the USA, we hardly need someone from Tasmania telling us about it two days later as if it were news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA. 11680, re my earlier report, Oct 8 at 1434 of a good signal with hymns, suspected of being Voice of Hope - Africa on wrong frequency instead of 13680: Yes, Richard Langley hears from Ray Robinson of KVOH confirming the fill music and the frequency, which tomorrow should be back on proper 13680. Well, 11680 works great for us. New program schedule is up, 

http://voiceofhope.com/schedule/voh-africa_program_grid.pdf

including some long-dormant shows such as the jazz and swing hours, bait for proselytizing which used to be on 9975 when KVOH had English broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13680, Oct 8 at 1837, S5 open carrier, slightly wavering. Nothing scheduled now but elsewhen on 13680 are VOA, Sound of Hope, CRI, NHK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Agenda DX 09/10/2016

ANNIVERSARIO EMITTENTI
WDR, Germania 702 Khz (1924)

Glenn Hauser logs October 8, 2016

** BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, Oct 8 at 1154, music from NBC, or is it RRI Palangkaraya, INDONESIA? Ron Howard is on holiday so can`t depend on him to sort out which by sign-off times. 1232 still in with talk.

Atsunori Ishida at http://rri.jpn.org logged RRI on the air until 1700v* the past week but today`s info not yet posted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 720, Oct 8 at 1200, XE NA, 1202 Chihuahua SA, 1203 sign-on from XEJCC, 720, mil watts, El Fonógrafo, street address, then usual inspirational recitation plugging amor and other virtues, ``la noche quedó atrás, un nuevo día``. 1206 over to live DJ with 6:05 TC ``en XEJCC, El Fonógrafo, 720``, current temp 14, and predicted hi. 

I wonder when they plug into feed from 1150 DF parent station, as heard in past with one-hour-plus Central chex. Doing well for 1 kW, owning the channel now. IRCA Log of last year had it as 25 kW day power, but under previous branding as Extremo 720. But WRTH 2016 listed this as 1 kW, also Extremo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)  

** MEXICO. 820, Oct 8 at 1228, romantic music in Spanish from west, familiarly from XEABCA Mexicali BCN, with hardly any WBAP now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 860, Oct 8 at 1217, Spanish talk about car theft rates in different states, 1219 TC for 6+, so in MDT zone, another TC, ``información nacional``. Loops SW. Ergo Chihuahua or Sinaloa: more likely XEZOL, Juárez, news format, 1000/500 watts, than XENW, Culiacán, variety format, 1000/250 watts. Anyhow, KKOW not really showing up yet, not even for polka-time circa 1227. Our sunrise today: 1233 UT.

1010, Oct 8 at 1213, I also have something in Spanish here, worth pursuing among several possibilities in N/W Mexico, if I can get past Amarillo et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. 7730, Oct 8 at 0619 tuneby WRMI, Brother HyStairical is commenting that despite mandatory evacuation order, he is ``not going``, and further ruminates that ``Everything I`ve done is in vain`` --- admittedly out of context, but I`ll say! An 85-year life totally wasted along with everyone he hoodwinked/persuaded to his sicko/psycho worldview.

7355, Oct 8 at 0621, another BS frequency, this one WHRI, accompanied by modulation squeals, sign of an ailing transmitter we have also heard on some other stations, but never WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sat Oct 8 at 1600, WWRB is already on with hi-life music, VG signal, much better than neighbor 15825 WWCR; and 1604 R. Munansi starts talking in English about corruption in Uganda, naming numerous businesses owned by Muséveni or his family. So schedule appears to be at least: 16-19 UT Sat & Sun. We are still wondering how well this get to Uganda, as it has been inaudible in South Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Saturday Oct 8 at 1445 check, the 1431 broadcast on 7265-CUSB, Hamburger Lokalradio via UTwente. Readable, but with some ACI. Had been missing at least the past two weeks. Next:

** ZAMBIA [and non]. 13680, Sat Oct 8 at 1233, JBA carrier; 1349 no carrier; 1433 W&M speaking non-English, Farsi? Voice of Hope Africa is reported finally to have its second 100 kW transmitter running, scheduled on 13680 Sat & Sun 12-17 UT, via NW antenna toward W Africa and US, // non-direxional 9680, where as usual we hear only the China radio war. 

13680 at 1430-1500 is NHK Farsi eastward from FRANCE; and also registered on 13680 at 15-16 is CRI English to Europe via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN. Yet VOHA went ahead with this frequency! Since God is omniscient, He would be the perfect frequency manager, if only He could be bothered and could communicate His better choices to the station. Hmmm, what a coincidence, all three end in -680 already: is there some numerological/supersitious/biblical significance to that?

Richard Langley has confirmed the other transmission on 9680, M-F at 05-08 (Aoki claims this one is 7-days, but I don`t think so), is heard duplicated on 11680, which also has CCI problems; I haven`t tried that one yet, but MUF permitting, it should be best for us. However:

11680, Oct 8 at 1434, I check here anyway and am surprised to hear a new signal, other than KCBS Korea North: It`s quite good, S9+10 with ``Amazing Grace`` variations on guitar, segué to jazz drumming but tune soon recognizable as an hymn --- I`ll bet this is VOH-Z, on its other frequency contrary to publicized schedule! Despite aiming at us, could it be long-path off the back, a better propagational path?

Should have stayed with it, because at 1559 recheck only a JBA carrier on 11680, which could well be NK now. Nothing audible on 9680 or 13680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA carrier search October 8 on the DX-398, well before our sunrise 1233 UT:

At 1123, 738 from SW is much stronger than the others, almost upgradable to BA instead of JBA, but not enough for modulation; presumably Tahiti, altho there are also Australia/NZ stations on channel.

At 1125, 702-WSW, 693-WSW

At 1126, 774-WSW, 1035-WSW; none higher to topend

At 1131, 774-NW, so Japan competing with otherwise down-unders

At 1133, 738 still strongest and steadiest, from SW

At 1153, 738 is also detectable on the R-75/E-W longwire

Glenn Hauser logs October 7-8, 2016

** 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)

Propagation News – 9 October 2016

Last week the solar flux index didn’t behave as predicted and rose to 99 by Thursday. This was mainly due to the appearance of large sunspot groups 2598 and 2599. There were no major solar flares, only minor C-class events, but unsettled geomagnetic conditions continued thanks to ongoing coronal hole activity.

The K-index hit four and five earlier in the week, although conditions improved by Thursday. Next week looks to be quite settled, geomagnetically, with the SDO spacecraft’s extreme current ultraviolet image showing no Earth-facing coronal holes. NOAA predicts the highest K-index reading will be two early in the week, rising to four on Sunday the 16th. The US Air Force predicts the solar flux index should remain in the range 95-102. Sunspot group 2599 appears fairly settled, so we don’t expect any M or X-class solar flares.

If the forecast holds true it looks like HF conditions may be good next week. Maximum usable frequencies have been subdued, but if the settled conditions can continue we may expect openings up to 21MHz or higher at times. The best HF paths will still be north-south, but don’t ignore greyline contacts on 40 and 80 metres at dawn.

VHF and up propagation:

There’s one strong message and one very weak message in the tropo forecast for next week. The strong message is that the high, which gave some fair tropo conditions in the last 144MHz UK activity contest, will decline after the weekend and gradually become displaced to the north of Scotland. At the same time, pressure will fall over southern Britain as it turns more showery and the north-easterly breeze picks up a little. So, not a good sign for tropo in the coming week.

The weaker part of the forecast message is that prediction models diverge as we head towards the end of the week. One version rebuilds the high from the north of Scotland to bring a renewed chance of tropo by the weekend, but other versions remain in the showery regime through to the end of the week and offer no potential return of tropo. As we are talking about 7-10 days ahead, uncertainty at this range is not unusual.

There are no meteor showers this week so keep looking in the early mornings for random contacts on the lower VHF bands. Moon declination increases this week, going positive on Friday, so EME moon windows lengthen. Losses are low and falling this week.

Glenn Hauser logs October 6-7, 2016

** ARGENTINA. 15345+v, Oct 6 at 1840, JBA carrier from RAE Argentina to the World. Richard Langley confirms that the English hour did relaunch on this broadcast.

11710.59, UT Friday Oct 7 at 0320, the other English hour from RAE ATTW indeed with some talk instead of music, but too weak, S2-S4 with flutter. 0353 recheck, maybe it was really English despite saying ``hasta mañana`` and into interval routine of IS and IDs multilingual, W&M alternately. 

What I assume is the new IS consists of four notes: lo-mid-lo-hi. We`ll have to hear it properly only on a webcast. Could copy one ``Argentina to the World``. 0400 timesignal accurate to a semisecond compared to WWV a minute later. And then supposed to continue one more hour in Spanish instead of Chinese.

Brazilians are in a much better position to hear this. On the radioescutas list, Luiz Chaine Neto in Limeira SP opines (my translation) the morning of October 5: ``They changed name, but their shortwaves continue worse than ever. On 19m instead of 15345, Radio Nacional or RAE is heard on 15525 or 15530 with very distorted audio, well-saturated. They changed their name, but if they want to continue with SW, the station has to scrap the old transmitters and get new ones`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. Correxion: I meant to say shifted one UT hour earlier, not later; fixed:

9580, Thu Oct 6 at 1134, RA is indeed amid `The World`, ABC TV newsmagazine, interviewing Dan, some American pundit about Syria, US politix, etc. Shifted from one UT hour earlier due to irrelevant DST in NSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9535, Oct 7 at 0344, S9 open carrier/dead air from RHC, while 9710 is OK at S9+30 with music. Cannot hear any spur carriers now on 9465 or 9605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9790, Oct 7 at 0339, CRI English relay is S9+55 but very undermodulated. This is one of those transmitters (like some WWCR, WTWW), which are accompanied by sharp spur/carrier peaks surrounding them, but coming and going, varying with modulation. As I tune across this wideband signal, I note these things on approximate frequencies, most of them with vestiges of program modulation on them, but so close they are hetting each other as well: 

9781.55, 9781.74, 9781.95, 9782.18, 9782.37, 9784.43, 9784.89, 9785.33, 9786.05, 9786.43, 9786.61, 9787.00v, 9787.07 --- but not much on the plus side of 9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)

** ERITREA [and non]. 7174.89, Oct 7 at 0335, carrier detectable amid DRM noise, so VOBME must be off-frequency from 7175.0. Despite both het and Ethiopian jamming, someham on 7175.0-LSB is attempting a QSO by calling CQ 40!

7136-7156, Oct 7 at 0337, DRM jamming at S9 against the other VOBME, carrier JBA on 7146.55 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)

** ITALY. 7192-LSB, Oct 7 at 0333, I2VRN, Robert in Cremona sounds like a DX-pedition as co-channel pileups are calling him; works YV and numerous US stations, still going at 0404 with AC9NE. Mostly in English with quite an accent, also Italian mixed with Spanish. Recheck at 0513, I2VRN is still there with QSO in Italian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Oct 6 at 1840 check, still AWOL is MWV. Is anyone hearing any of their scheduled broadcasts? If not, why not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1570, Oct 7 at 1325 UT, Spanish should be KTUZ in Tulza, by now almost an hour after sunrise, but no, it`s still XERF, ``la forma más clara de entender las noticias`` slogan for `Antena Radio, Primera Edición`, the IMER flagship nationwide newscast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, Oct 7 at 1248 UT, WKY OKC with regular hiccuping, about 48 times per minute. Affects whatever Spanish is being modulated, so rather than audio dropouts, the transmitter itself is doing this, and with BFO it does seem to be ICDs --- intermittent carrier dropouts. WKY is in a sorry state (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1330 & 1450, Oct 7 at 1307, weak hets slightly off-frequencies and varying slightly against legit 1330.0 and 1450.0 stations; obviously the second-order spurs out of local 1390 KCRC, toward which they loop, plus and minus ~60 kHz, beyond the much stronger first-order ones which also carry KCRC modulation circa 1360 and 1420, only ~30 kHz away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7268-LSB, Oct 7 at 0330, this is supposed to be the night frequency of WX4NHC for hurricane emergency info, but I hear very little activity. Maybe I`m not staying on it long enough. Still nothing going there at 0402 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Thursday October 6 at new time of 2130.0 on WRMI 13695, VG. Ex-2100 to accommodate now daily relay of R. Slovakia International at 2100. To accommodate `Blues Radio International`, which used to follow WOR Thursdays at 2130, it`s been shifted 24 hours later to Friday, thus deleting the next WOR airing. 1846 also confirmed Thu Oct 6 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.058-CUSB, good.

** U S A. Numerous WRMI observations:

9955, Oct 6 at 1845, Brother Scare on this WRMI frequency unusually with some hum, as far as I can tell transmitted that way, while all other WRMI frequencies audible 11-18 MHz are OK.

11580, Oct 6 at 2015, WRMI with big band music; 2030 announcement I can`t make out due to ignition noise level into the BSR-1 caradio vs this weak signal; music after 2030 is more like Dixieland. Anyhow, this does not sound like `Media Network Plus`, which is what shows now as an additional airing on the skedgrid for Thursday 20-21 on 11580. Nor does it sound like usual World Music filler. 

11530, Oct 7 at 0320 no signal from WRMI, a missing frequency, since when on, it is always stronger than // BS 11580, which is still JBA.

9955, Oct 7 at 0320, hurricane warning audio from the National Hurricane Center, then Jeff White anchoring with more hurricane info, live? Certainly a departure from normal programming for this special event. But the stats he cites mainly about Bahamas are from 1800 UTC, more than 9 hours ago, so maybe not live. Signal quite good, but now fading down for 0329 canned ID, and back to normal programming of preacher at 0330, and another at 0400. 

Conveniently scheduled for UT Friday 0315 on 9955 is `Viva Miami`. It might pay to check further `VM` blox for more Matthew coverage. You`ll find all 18 of them per week in the new update of DX/SWL/Media programs:

http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

along with all two dozen weekly airings of `Wavescan` on WRMI alone.

Meanwhile circa 0325 Oct 7, I have checked all the other WRMI frequencies I can remember: confirmed BS u.o.s. on: 9395 (TN), 7730, 7570, 6855, 5985 (Spanish), 5950 (+ Ethiopia?), 5850, 5765, 5015. So AWOL is: 7780. Recheck at 0511, 7780 is still off.

9955, Oct 7 at 1330, WRMI is OFF --- quickly check all other frequencies 5-21 MHz, and they are also off, except a JBA signal on 6855 with Brother HyStairical --- which is obviously top priority at RMI, even above 9955 to keep on air. It appears that Hurricane Matthew did not get too close to Okeechobee, so hope the antennas didn`t get wind damage, but as I suspected, depending on commercial power again takes down WRMI. We await Brother Scare`s take on God`s watery and windy wrath wiping out Walterboro?

This scenario is confirmed via Richard Langley, From the WRMI Facebook page: "As of 0630 UTC Friday, our electricity is out at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee. We are operating on emergency generator power, which powers our lights, air conditioning and computers. However, all transmitters are off the air except 6855 kHz, which remains on the air on extremely low power. Winds are extremely strong here, and we do not have an estimate of when electricity will be restored. The center of Hurricane Matthew is northeast of us now."

Another check of WRMI frequencies at 1422 Oct 7 still finds them all off except 6855, but there are JBA carriers from somethings on 11825 and 15440-music. I.e.: 11825 RVA Philippines in Bengali; 15440 AWR Austria in Urdu.

1645 recheck Oct 7: all are back on from 21675 to 6855, except 17790; and 5015 if on I can`t hear in the daytime. That lowest one would be best to pre-empt for close-in emergency broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Fri Oct 7 at 0325, WTWW-2 is on with music, ``Alfie``, at S9+50, and with BFO I can tell the carrier is somewhat unstable; accompanied by JBA carrier spurs on 5072.1 and 5097.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1180, Oct 7 at 1259 UT, RCatholic-style chanting, something new, loops SW/NE, 1300 UT ID as KLPF, 1180 AM, missed city, but it`s Midland TX. Then unaccented English talk as Guadalupe Radio Network, and program `GRN Live` from the North Texas studio. Says network is growing by leaps and bounds. Guess what? Midland is not in north Texas. Also with SAH of 148/minute = 2.47 Hz, probably against Omaha. KLPF is 25000/215 watts U1 with a PSRA of 500. NRC AM Log shows it not yet on air as of August, rather a CP to change from 1150 which was merely 1000/148/500 U1, so QSY has now been accomplished. It remains non-direxional day and night. October sunrise is 1245 UT, so on full day power when I heard it. FCC adds, KLPF operates as a noncommercial educational station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Oct 7 at 1308 UT, KBXD is still a FARCE. No sign of latest occupant now, Radio Salam Namaste, but instead: dead air interrupted periodically by the old canned ``KBXD, 1480, Dallas`` illegal IDs by slightly-Spanish accent, some of them with a music-beat bed, and a single PSA in English from Texas Department of Transportation to ``drive smart`` (not smartly --- who needs adverbs anymore?), observing braking distances to avoid crashing sound-effects. This ``programming`` repeats couple of minutes irregularly, and sometimes the ID overrides the tail of the PSA, still audible at 1400 UT. Is this default computer programming gone wild?

Makes 3 Hz SAH, presumably with KQAM Wichita, which can`t compete with this 50 kW even after sunrise. But thanks to the dead air intervals quieting, I detect some other intriguing 1480 signals: around 1310 UT, something briefly in Spanish, likely KAVA Pueblo CO if not KCZZ Mission KS. And some rock music from WSW/ENE? which I figured could be Hobbs NM --- except that 1480 no longer exists. Maybe it`s remnant of KTHS in AR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

UNIDENTIFIED. 7585.20-USB, Oct 7 at 0509, colloquial Spanish 2-way, one with noise in background, perhaps aboard a craft? Mentions Florida governor, hurricane, amid whistling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
