** BRAZIL. 6009.96 approx., Sept 9 at 0605, JBA music, better than
usual, and seems to match that on slightly stronger 11815.0, switching
back and forth on one receiver, so R. Inconfid?ncia, Belo Horizonte
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 21490-, Sept 9 at 0237, Chinese with flutter at S8/9+10, no
doubt CNR1 jammer. Also a much weaker JBA carrier wtih flutter on
21495. And 21800, Chinese S6/S9 with flutter. None in HFCC. EiBi &
Aoki have 21490 & 21800 jammers of SOH, no 21495: maybe that`s really
Sound of Hope sidestep escaping jammer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ?
** FRANCE. 5980-5985-5990, Sept 9 at 0218, DRM noise peaking S9+10.
HFCC shows irregular TDF tests in French with four different antenna
types and four different azimuths, to four different target areas, not
including CIRAF 7 here; all available daily for entire A24 season!:

N stands for num?rique = digital (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 9705-9710-9715 DRM, Sept 9 at 0550, DRM noise not on skeds,
but into an HFU SDR in Maryland displays text ID including
``AAC(1000)TDF...`` but silent, no sound until cutoff at 0556*. The
`TDF` in program info text confirms it`s ISSoudun as suspected. SNR
was 8.8, BW 10 kHz. Checking out following this inquiry Sept 8:
``Hello Glenn, I was having a listen this evening at 0545 UTC when I
heard a DRM station on 9710. It was in French and they were talking
about environmental matters. There was no ID and it suddenly
disappeared at 0557. Nothing is listed on EiBi, AOKI or HFCC for this
frequency that would fit. I also had a look at Global DRM Transmission
Schedule, but there was nothing doing there either. Do you have any
idea what it might be? I suspect it is RFI, but I can find nothing on
their web page. Interestingly I have two EWE antennae - one pointing
east and one pointing north. It was best on the north EWE. Best
wishes, Stu -- Stu Forsyth, Life Member, Chief Editor NZ DX Times and
National Treasurer, NZ Radio DX League, 79 Genesis Drive, RD5,
Christchurch 7675, NEW ZEALAND``
I replied that it was probably France which carries out unscheduled
DRM tests, and Chris Mackerell, NZ, agreed:
``This will almost certainly be another random test from TDF in
France. They have a whole raft of frequencies registered in HFCC for
"irregular DRM", but manage to ignore them and pop up randomly on
other frequencies. I have pretty much given up trying to track these
for the DRM schedules at drmrx.org since they appear to change from
day-to-day. China/"Ampegon Test" is another doing seemingly random DRM
"tests", though they are on some rather odd frequencies and I suspect
they are "testing" DRM as jamming. Cheers, Chris -- Chris Mackerell,
Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, Marahau, RD2, Motueka 7197, New Zealand,

** FRANCE [non]. 7340, Sept 9 at 1545, checking for more N Atlantic
weather info like heard briefly in July in case there be another boat
race, 15-16 UT on 7340 & 13745 - 7340 best into UTwente, 13745 further
SDRs like E North America or Canarias -- but none yet, rather only
listee at this hour PBS Xinjiang, Kazakh service at 08-18 via Urumqi,
EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems. Rather nice music mixed with talk, 5-pip
timesignals at hourtops 1600 & 1700, steady S7/S8. Nothing on 13745
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 15440, Sept 9 at 1430, familiar hymn tune, not music
box, but good signal. Sked as TWR Urdu at 1430-1500; immediately
following AWR Chinese sked via GUAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 28228 CW, Sept 9 at 2206, JBA beacon
starting with ZL-, no doubt the usual ZL3TEN. Also unID on 28201 at
2204 sending nothing but 20 dits or E`s between long pauses; and unID
on 28262 at 2208 with dash and VVV, too weak: may well be the only
listed on exact frequency by WGB, VK2RSY, Sydney NSW (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Sept 9 at 0221, pirate music S9/+10. Per
these, it`s Liquid Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,133647.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Sept 9 at 0222, pirate music S9/+20. Per
these, it`s Damn Skippy, with waterfall IDs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,133648.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, S9+30/40 direct, weaker 17715 but NO 15520 & 15390,
Monday Sept 9 at 2159, token English at 2200 from SNR, missed prolog,
2203 news leading with Venez. oppo leader Gonz?lez arrives in Madrid
for political asylum. 2214 feature is about search for signs of Viking
contact in Galicia, and the lives of Viking women (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TAJIKISTAN. 15515.00, Sept 9 at 0233, YL speaking slowly, seems
English cadence but hard to understand, S9/+10 with flutter. EiBi
shows AWR via TJK at 0200-0300 English for BGD = Bangladesh (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sunday Sept 8 at 2159, VOT not off the air with
IS. 2200 s/on as if the 1230 on 17620, S9+40/50 into UTwente, olds; by
2214 music and 2215 `The Letterbox Program` with Halil. Reveals it was
Friday when he recorded. ``I`m OK, lovely, everything fine``. #1 from
Thomas Podberg?, Connecticut, a listener for 40 years, visited
Istanbul in July. Halil has too but it`s too big and crowded, best
thing about it is going back to Ankara. #2 from Dublin, Mr Francis
Lovlor? - does he know that it`s a female if spelt Frances? H. says
some other time would tell the story of the Ottoman Empire sending
food to Ireland. #3 Siddartha ---, India. #4 Jayanta Chakroborthy
regular from New Delhi, report on 7275 at 0300, the N American
frequency off the back. #5 Christer Brunstr?m, Sweden, long letter
about a couple of cases years ago where Turkish girls migrated to
Sweden went back and were killed by father and her meat fed to
siblings; or force-married off - suggested program topic. H. implies
this is rare in a multi-million country. H. has a daughter and her
life will be her own to live. #6 Jayanta again, something about
Mongolia - did he mix up his reception reports? I ask. #7 Mohamed
Shamin?, Kerala. #8 Massimo Marmonti again, Italy. 2239 time`s up, ``I
love all of you, happy weekend``. 2240 music. 2243 L`box outro. 2244 &
2248 more musix. 2253 headlines mostly about Israel/Gaza/Turkish woman
killed, s/off for the 1230 on 17620. Something`s always awry at
Ankara. 2254 IS until 2254.6 cutoff* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.005+, Sept 9 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS and
English ID, S9+10/20 direct. 2200 s/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620.
Something`s always awry at Ankara. Preview Energy Agenda, That`s Why,
music; and olds. 2215 ending 2-minute multi-lingual ID filler reel,
and `The Energy Agenda` strangely enough starting with Egyptian Pres.
Sisi`s first visit to Turkey in 12 years, and then about Israeli
genocide - what about energy?! ACI from 11780 Brasil unless USB
tuning. 2222 into UTwente when measured, S9+50 in music. 2224 `That`s
Why` about lithium as energy source. Then music after music, no
announcement between, at 2229, 2239, 2242, 2246, 2249. 2252 headlines.
2253 s/off of the 1230, only 6 notes of IS before chopoff at 2253.7*,
no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 13563+, Sept 9 at 0229, HIFER beacon AN is JBA --- first one
I have detected in many weeks on the ISM band due to prop, noise
level, or few operating? Despite bandscans at least once daily. LWCA
list shows it on 13562.9~ in Somerton AZ, which is a 10K town SW of
Yuma, even closer to SLRC. I have heard it before, July 2 at 0348
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. Re: ``Also monitored with interest the brand new
VOA Fulani service on 17630 kHz AM at 1630-1700 UT today Friday-only
apparently, August 30. Which transmitter site is that from?``
``{I guess WOF or MDG, Botswana distance of 17 MHz too short ? wb.}``
-- Wolfgang Bueschel, BC-DX. WRTH app had declared it Botswana as if
they knew for sure. Remember the unreliable TDOA result I got, Kuwait
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5051, Sept 9 at 0215, weak open carrier, NOT on 5050. What
has become of Ted`s `Legends` 5050 transmitter of WRMI-4, after
expulsion from WTWW? Supposedly scheduled 01-04 on System C (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9955, Sept 9 at 0543, this WRMI is off, as customary late on
UT Mondays only, but it was also off UT Sunday, so what about the rest
of the week, now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7490-, Sept 9 at 0223, S9/+10 of dead air from WBCQ.
Something`s messedup at Monticello. Allegedly scheduled at 0130-0230
UT Mon is `The Warning with Tony Lamb` --- oooh (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1330, Sept 9 at 0204 UT, ``Never Walk Alone`` song, 0205
segu? to another of similar ilk, unseems KNSS Wichita KS which is
news/talk, our closest by far and on fringe of coverage area. Somewhat
better on E/W loop than N/S shortwire. Meant to get back to this for
further chex. Lots more 1330s in eastern US than in western. Suspect
someone on ND day power, maybe KCKM Monahans TX, C&W at least. Songs
could be on religious station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17615, Sept 9 at 0235, S9+20 of dead air with flutter.
Nothing in EiBi or Aoki, but HFCC has RRS GFC at 0100-0500, 100 kW,
218 degrees from Khabarovsk, Russia - normally assumed to be among
countless wooden/imaginary entries (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Oops, I really blew that one! Of course it would be 6010v=15190v or 4985=11815.
The music must have been too similar but no match if I used two receivers. 4985
has rarely enough signal here to compare with anything. Tnx, Stephen for
catching this. Just delete this one. Glenn
Glenn, regarding your Radio Inconfid?ncia log: 11815 would be Radio Brasil
Central, not Inconfid?ncia. At a 0330 UT September 10 check on the Sao Paulo
Kiwi SDR I am hearing Radio Inconfid?ncia on 6010 but nothing on // 15190.
Meanwhile Radio Brasil Central is present on both 4985 and 11815. Solid signals
on all that were heard.
?
The Brasilia Kiwi SDR was offline at the time.
