This station targets the punjab community in the Vancouver area and not
exactly a surprise, but it is incredibly strong here. It's 10KW/6 tower
night pattern is right along the waterfront and beams right up the coast.
If I draw a line from it's tower array and main lobe, its pointed almost
dead center at my general area.
Not unexpected but still amazing considering KVRI is 1500 miles away! They
are my most consistent station... the strongest, most regular. I hear the
50kw'ers from Vancouver 1320,, 1470, 1130, 730, etc.... but this one tops
them all by noticeable amounts.
Here's some audio of the station with the audio filter widened to 6khz on
my CC CRane Skywave with my FSL loop tuned up:

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Jan 15 at 1507, NO signals from
LRA36 into two Brazilian SDRs. Did not check Wed Jan 12 when it would
have been slightly more likely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 15034-USB, Jan 15 at 1642 UT, Trenton Military with VOLMET,
giving time as 1540 zulu --- 62 minutes slow! Let`s hope the flight
weather info were slightly more accurate. Times of individual reports
are correct, post-1600. Quite a few ``no report received``s; I wager
there is never a complete cycle full of reports received!
6754-USB, Jan 16 at 0022 UT, I give the night announcer a chance to
make it right: No, claims station time is 2320z; after a bunch of
terminal forecasts with No Report Received, including even Trenton
itself! Something`s always cockeyed at CHR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 5060 & 4850, Jan 16 at 0026, JBA signals on 50% of
The Urumqi Four, also 4500 but with noise, QRM or defect? The fourth
one on 4980 continues blocked by WRMI. As always this combo clinches
it for PBS Xinjiang`s four language services from the land of
imperialist ChiCom persecution and genocide of Uyghurs and other
Moslems. Don`t buy anything made by their slave labor! It`s still
pre-sunrise there not until 0140 UT, and post-sunset here, graylinish.
BTW the Han masters impose Beijing time even upon the westernmost part
of an empire which ought to have five timezones, so that by the Commie
clock, Urumqi sunrise is not until ``9:40`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ITALY [and non]. Re: World of Radio anomalies --- I had asked
Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS/NEXUS/IBA about these and he replied Jan 14:
Hi Glenn, Happy new year, and sorry for this late reply. Thanks again
for reporting on our frequencies. We are aware of some of these
issues, please read my replies inline below:
Glenn Hauser wrote on 07/01/2022 23:14:
> WOR seems to be airing OK on 7290, Fridays at 20:15 CET. I assume
the one skipped will be in two weeks, the third Friday, Jan 21. Altho
they don`t turn on the modulation until almost 20:01 missing Aida and
sign-on, joining FSN in progress. This happens consistently every
week. The carrier is on by 19:59, so why don`t you have them add the
program feed?
``Currently on 7290 kHz from 20-21 CET there is a slight conflict in
the local modulation line (audio) being used by another program, and
we have to accept this compromise for the current season. The sign in
and initial program are being slightly delayed to try to minimize this
issue. Being the program in parallel on 918 kHz since 19 CET, it's
another reason for not using a sign-on that would sound odd in the
middle of the broadcast on MW (TX modulation feeds are the same for SW
& AM).``
> I also check 918 kHz via a remote receiver. Once 7290 was also on
they were almost synch with FSN, ID and UN News, but after that they
split with music fill on 918 which ran past 20:15 when WOR started. I
was trying to have lunch at the same time so did not monitor them
minute by minute, but for some time WOR was not on 918. When I
rechecked at 20:34 it was back on both.
``It's an old issue, that the Medium Wave station has occasional
issues with picking up our feed. It's something totally random and we
tried to fix it several times. It's due to circumstances (hardware,
software, telecom (internet lines, weather, power, internet failures,
etc. at the MW station) not under our direct control. If we had some
?5k to spare, we could fix it, but while we try to survive on a very
low budget, we have to live with that - at least for the time being.
Sometimes our feed drops to a locally generated backup audio feed,
and then it resumes later.``
> Another consistent problem I ask you to fix: 918 chops off the air
Fridays at about 22:57, some two minutes before the next WOR playback
is over, since it`s 29 minutes long starting at 22:30. Could you have
them leave the transmitter on for another 2 or 3 minutes?
``It should be supposed to stop at around 23:05 CET, after the news. I
will double check, maybe it's just the TX timer out-of sync.``
> Today before 22:57 I could also barely recognize my voice on 207
kHz, a very weak signal. First time I`ve been on longwave for sure,
and hope this will continue.
``There are still works-in-progress at the LW station. A new 200 meter
long wire antenna has been built, power is still very low, even if
hopes are to increase the power to 10 kW later this year. At this time
we are not sure whether we will broadcast regularly in parallel also
on this frequency, because the cost will almost double for us, but
generated income to pay for the airtime will not likely grow enough to
cover our expenses. It all depends on the interest among
our broadcasters and listeners' response, of course. It's just an
experiment so far, and coverage is still very DX-like, with reception
reported even in Lapland but weak, not broadcast quality yet in our
main target areas in Central Europe.``
> There were reports last year about plans to change 918 to 1323 kHz.
What is the expectation now?
``We are still waiting for final authorization from Rome. It may be
coming any time now in Q1/2022. Then we are ready to make the
switch.``
> At the nearby remote there is considerable interference from Madrid
on 918, but AM Italia is on top
``Sounds good :-) Bests, Alfredo

snowstorm. Later in hour, however, `Creation Moment` anti-science
nonsense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PERU. 4775.036, Jan 16 at 0029, music at S9, typical offset of R.
Tarma (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 15 at 2349, VOT English VG via UTwente, just in
time for sign-off. Instead of claiming it be the 1330 on 12035,
recites correct times and frequencies from 1930 to 0400, and PS at
1730. But then says broadcasts at 22-23 and 03-04 are pre-recorded;
NO, those would be their summer advanced timings. Announcer, please
engage brain rather than just reading obviously wrong info. Cuts off
at 2349* with just a few notes of the incomplete IS. But I think it`s
forward rather than backward. Something`s always awry at Ankara,
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, Jan 16 at 0038, WWRB still off the air since death of
David Frantz, when it had been active weekends only; also likely to be
gone after 0200 when it jumped to new 3360 to escape WWCR. FCC-watcher
Benn Kobb has just replied to my previous note about a CP:
``Glenn, That FCC construction permit for WWRB should not be a
mystery. Frantz had allowed the license to expire. He eventually
sought reinstatement. The FCC had him repeat the formal steps of
obtaining a license, including a construction permit. That information
came to me from FCC when I inquired about it at the time.
Meanwhile, there have been some more developments with the High
Frequency Trading stations. I am working on a report about that.

** U S A. 5085, Jan 1 at 0025, WTWW-2 sounds like Bob Heil, but about
hamstuff, not thorganism -- NO more spurs detected near 5072 or 5098
despite fundamental hitting S9+30/40, tweaked away?? BTW, 5830 WTWW-1
is not on now, even tho the post-PPPP owners may think it`s primary.
at 0058.5 organ music starts, but 0100 interrupted by quote from
Isaiah, CQ, canned WTWW ID treating the Star Spangled Banner as a clip
of produxion music -- doesn`t sound patriotic to me! Then Bob Heil
starts `TOUTA` for real with yet more recordings of and tributes to
his idol, George Wright? and/or Len Marshall, or was it Ben Larson?
0029 Bob closes program until next week, but immediately starts
another episode! this time something from Ian in Scotland.
I`m listening to $tereo webcast and must catch `Encore` tomorrow
night. Whatever`s on TRSW is lost due to such a simulglut of musix on
Saturday nights, not to mention The Giant Jukebox on The Mighty farty
KBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1380, Jan 15 at 0601-0641 UT, monitoring the MW DX test from
KQKD, 1380, Redfield SD. My report to CPC for eQSL:
Thanks for the test! First time I`ve heard KQKD, which is about 580
miles north of me in Enid OK.
I heard the VVV DE KQKD IDs immediately at 0601 UT January 15. I then
recorded 0605-0636 UT and later went thru the file to pick out two
areas with VVV VVV VVV DE KQKD KQKD KQKD - several times. Most of the
rest of the time if anything could be heard, it was sweep tones
upward, or solid tones. The recorder timing may not be too accurate,
but should be correct within 1 or 2 minutes.
Solid tones: 0611, 0612, 0616, 0627
Sweeps upward: 0613, 0625, 0629, 0631, 0635
Siren - varying tone: 0615
The first clip of Vs and IDs at about 0611; second clip about 0623.
One must listen closely but I am sure I copied ``KQKD`` several
times.

This was on my Icom R75, which runs off an east-west 100-foot
longwire, not well positioned for north/south reception. On MW I turn
off the preamps to avoid overload. Dominant station among lots of QRM
was Mexican music, probably KMUS Sperry/Tulsa OK, some 110 miles east
of here, 250 watts at night.
I also heard this on my DX-398 receiver with internal antenna only,
sweeps at 0607 UT. This allowed local 1390 KCRC Enid to be somewhat
nulled. In both cases tuned on LSB to minimize KCRC.
FYI, I did not employ any remote SDR at any time for this test.
Some background info about KQKD would also be of interest, such as
what the call letters may signify, either by original choice or
subsequent slogan formation. Looking forward to an eQSL. Thanks, and
73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ZANZIBAR [and non]. 6015, Jan 15 at 0410, poor talk in uncertain
language, but presumed ZBC in Swahili, as China and Korean radio war
not likely to propagate at this hour. Romania 6020 not a problem at
only S9/+10 with flutter, English to N America, and // 7410 is still
down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
