Following our successful 200th official broadcast back in August, this really is a milestone. For already quite some time, intensive preparations have been taking place and we've done the best we could to provide an attractive broadcasting schedule. Of course we hope on your company next Sunday!

On Sunday November 8th FRS-Holland will celebrate 40 years of shortwave broadcasts. Following intensive preparations FRS is ready to offer an attractive programming that day. This time we hope to surprise you...so we won't reveal all details as far as the programme content is concerned. Tune in and find out! Of course our history plays an important part. A hint: the music we play is closely associated to several aspects of FRS' past 40 years. Listen and enjoy. To be honest: this won't be a typical broadcast for a quick listen...there's so much interesting to listen to next Sunday....sit down behind your SW receiver & make sure you are part of it. In order to make listening convenient, next Sunday's broadcast will be aired on different frequencies ?nd different times. In addition there will be a number of streams starting a few days after the shortwave broadcasts. Take a look at our schedule. There will be a special Anniversary QSL card. Besides: listeners who send in a letter/ report to P.O.Box 2702 in Herten will receive our FRS 40 years Souvenir booklet containing many interesting articles. Please enclose 5 euro to cover P&P. For an extra 5 euro we offer a FRS 40 years CD. This CD contains programme extracts from past & present, FRS 40th Anniversary jingles (recently produced for next Sunday) and a few surprises.

CNR1 jammer survey, Nov 1 at 2307: 7540 Chinese S9, // weaker 7810, 7470; at 2321, 6125; 2322, JBA Chinese 11170, 10920, 10870; JBA carriers on 11120, 11070, many of same SOH jam frequencies heard in our mornings. 7540 is jamming RFA Tibetan via Kuwait; 7470 is RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan, both this hour only. 7810 is an SOH frequency but Aoki does not have it on and jammed at this hour. 6125 is a legit CNR1 non-jammer channel. Around grayline, I have some other non-CNR1 // Chineses: at 2310, 7325, which is CRI Cantonese via Kunming. And at 2322 on 6140, vocal operatic which is same service and site. 6900, at 2315, something weak, Chinese? Yes, a SOH *jammer. [and non] 6100, at 2320 Nov 1, Chinese music, i.e. CRI Portuguese via Beijing short-path to here but aiming long-path 318 degrees, and // 13650 same via CUBA, but on the latter, modulation cutting on & off, while NHK is continuously audible underneath. This service continues to be *nothing* but music fill for years now! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba as well as CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. 15700, Nov 2 at 1500, S9+20/30 of dead air except for big hum, then trace of CRI English modulation, ex-11880 via CUBA. By 1505 modulation has crept up a bit but still awful. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5954, Nov 2 at 2312, Cuban pulse jamming centred here, a legacy disservice originally drawn by the Costa Rican transmitter of Radio Rep?blica, remember that? Which has been gone for many years (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6145, UT Mon Nov 2 at 0213-0218, RHC English with `DXers Unlimited`, Derwin? Jones substituting for Arnie who has a ``sore throat``, but the script is typical Arnie stuff about propagation and ham radio, lasting only 5 minutes. Just confirming DXUL still exist around these times for next DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS update pending (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13700, Nov 2 at 1538, VP S5-S6 signal, must be RHC but dreadfully weak, for music is // 11760 which is suptorted! As is 15140. // 15230 is a little better. At 1540 I find more RHC still on air, nominally until 1600 now? or slipshod: 9535 not distorted but fluttery; and 7350 very poor and undermodulated. Somethings always wrongs at RHC. It may be another week before intentional B-20 changes settle in as Arnie plays catch-up. Individual Spanish program times should already have shifted one UT hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY. 18164-USB, Nov 2 at 1455, IU3BTY fonetikaly calling QRZ. Seems Italy/Slovenia area is a hotspot for 17m activity and/or propagation to here. https://www.qrz.com/lookup/iu3bty ``IU3BTY, Valerio Spagnolo, Via Cristoforo Colombo n.20, Conegliano (Tv) 31015, Italy`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SLOVENIA ** KURDISTAN [non]. 15600, Nov 2 at 1459, ``Deng? Amerika`` ID and off 1500*. It`s VOA Kurdish via Woofferton UK at 14-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 560, Nov 2 at 0629 UT, ID in passing as I tune across, sounds like ``La Serena - 98.1``. But no such slogan is listed for any Mexican or any Latin American, and there are no US SS on 560. Instead I think it must have been: XEGIK, Monclova, Coahuila, which is my nearest XE anyway, per IRCA Mexican Log, 1400/250 watts with FM on 88.1, ``La Acerera`` --- acero means steel but acera can also mean sidewalk. Steel mill? IIRC, Monclova is a polluted industrial town, and there is a General Steel Group there, at least with warehouse and sales if not manufaxuring. The Steely Station? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SLOVENIA. On 18113-USB, Nov 1 at 1458, I have been hearing a ham making quick contacts as ``CNR57DX``. A three-letter prefix is unheard of and surely wrong; nonesuch in qrz.com but I can`t figure out what he is really saying? Never with fonetix to make it clear except for the ``DX`` which is obvious. CN+ implies Morocco. Ideas? Don Moman, AB replied on the WOR iog: ``I'm hearing the pileup all calling Slavko S57DX on 18113.`` Tnx, Don. I guess he is saying fonetik ``sierra`` but it sure sounds like C-N-R. I bet he`s related to S51DX I logged the other day. Slovenia, land of future first-ladies. Yes, they are brothers. Lots of info at: https://www.qrz.com/lookup/s57dx ``S57DX, SLAVKO CELARC, OB IGRISCU 8, 1360 VRHNIKA, Slovenia`` Still allows a little time for chat about weather, etc., but clearly trying to rack up contacts, contest? Lots of other activity on 17m, such as a pileup on 18150-USB. 18122-USB, Nov 2 at 1450, there he is again, S57DX with quick North American contacts, CQ 17, this time alternating ``sierra`` with ``sugar``, better clearer signal than yesterday. Still going at 1546 recheck. See also ITALY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2058 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday November 2 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 2 at 0430, one hour later, on WRMI webcast, but cannot hear 9955 direct except some weak pulse jamming, nor can I hear it via various KiwiSDRs in North & South America!

But these hours are in HFCC for WHRI not WBCQ, and I already heard something last week assumed to be Cypress Creek since it was not off-frequency. Is the takeover/merger underway already? (Glenn at 2141 UT Nov 2, WOR iog) No replies, but monitoring 7490.1 from 0000 UT Tue Nov 3, good signal direct at first but fading down by 0008, the usual `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` repeat filler, the first dekaminute also commemorating the KDKA anniversary with some songs popular in 1920y, starting with ``Whispering``. Then I switch to 6159.92, S9 for WBCQ Area 61 and hear a docu about the early days of KDKA, in fact a produxion by KDKA when ``today`` was the Reagan era, mentioning adding a ``Far North Service`` on SW in the `30s. Then I find this week`s Area 61 has now been revealed at http://zappahead.net/#2020-1102-area61 ``Area 61 for 2-6 November 2020 Tune in weekdays at 7PM US eastern time (0000 UTC) on WBCQ 6.160 MHz. You can listen to us on the internet at http://splatterbox.us/area51 Monday 2 November 2020 KDKA Pittsburgh began regular broadcasting 100 years ago today when the station began an election night broadcast at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1920, from a tiny shack atop one of the Westinghouse Electric buildings in East Pittsburgh. Four men manned that first broadcast: Engineer William Thomas; telephone line operator John Frazier; R.S. McClelland, a standby; and Leo Rosenberg, radio's first announcer. The election returns of the Harding-Cox presidential race were relayed to about one thousand listeners who learned through this incredible new medium who the next president of the United States would be.

But as usual, nearby KOKP Perry OK stupid sportstalk dominates even at night, and if I null it, instead of KDKA it`s gospel huxtering in Spanish, no doubt 50 kW KCKN Roswell NM, which if it were operating properly would be nulling toward KDKA and me. These two stations make a hefty SAH of 4 Hz. In my dreams, I imagine a broadcasting industry salute to KDKA by all the other 1020 stations turning off tonight for an hour or three --- fat chance!!!
