WGB list: ``28193 LU2DT - Mar Del Plata BA ARG GF11fx - #0/1/3 (14 Sept 2024) Note: VVV de ID + grid 30" off - Pwr 10w``. QRZ.com: ``LU2DT Argentina flag Argentina, Radio Club MAR DEL PLATA, C.C. 664, MAR DEL PLATA, BA 7600, Argentina``. Also relogs of VE1VDM/B, NS, 28174; and V31HQ/B Belize, 28258 - over a wide area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 28405 USB, Sept 30 at 2209, PP5KP calling CQ DX several times. QRZ.com: ``PP5KP Brazil flag Brazil, RAFA, Rafael Capistrano, Rua Manoel Vidal, 89 - P?ntano do Sul, Florian?polis, SC 88067140, Brazil`` with photos of equipment, certificates (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 889 & 891, Sept 30 at 0626 and earlier, no spurs/hets detectable, unlike usually. Maybe fixed or 890 R. Progreso itself be off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Sept 30 at 0235, S9+30/40 of dead air in English from RHC - not even a trace of mod. Only other frequency on is 15230 at 0249, S9/+10 of extremely suptorted music in presumed Spanish service. Somethings always wrongs at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Sept 30 at 0631, surprised to find RNZP here so late, after nothing on 9700, 11725 or 13690; S8/S9 report about a case of radiation exposure on Guam; 0633 start another program, `It`s Personal` interview. This is not a mistake, however, as Tanino Marabello points out, another sked revision shows 17675 at 0000 until 0658 daily ``updated 8 Sept``! Surely was not running 17675 that late already for two sesquiweeks: https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen 17675 also at 2259-0000 Sun-Fri only - so that means ZERO frequencies during that hour on Saturdays, surely not correct! 13690 now shown at 0659-1258 for Pacific daily, AND 1059-1258 for Solomons/PNG on M-F only. Does that mean one transmitter split into NW and NE antennas, or two different transmitters on same frequency? This span was previously shown on two different frequencies. At 1259-1650 daily on 7440 for Pacific, which I confirmed circa 1345 after a 1-hour power outage here. 15720 at 1859-2258 depending on day of week, target. This schedule can be so confusing. Instead of specifying different days of week for each segment, they ought to have complete skeds for Mon-Fri, another for Sat only and another for Sun only. DRM skeds should also be separated. Also it takes a lot of fishing around website to find program sked info, depending on whether it`s RNZ domestic relay and those are of course in local imaginary time UT+13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Sept 30 at 0237 song, S9+10/20 somewhat distorted. These say it`s KDOG: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,134439.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Sept 30 at 0228, open carrier, unID. No reports in HFU but 25 hours earlier was Liquid Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.92 approx., Sept 30 at 0255, Enid CB pirate with music // 105.5 K288FX translator of Kay-Love, KYLV 88.9 OKC - but with a big het from a spoiler about 27184.65. Same situation at 0625 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11934.894, Sept 30 at 1550, Arabic lexure with music segments, and NO, chirping/jamming for a change, presumed still Rep. of Yemen Radio service; S9+10/20 into UTwente. Wanted to hear such ID around 1600 but *1557 outwiped by heavy ACI from 11940, CRI English claiming everything is just fine and free in China, restarting English at 1600; from Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. By 1707 recheck, 11934.895- in the clear again, and still at 1931, exactly same offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15520+, Mon Sept 30 at 2202, token English from SNR, ONLY here, now the other three frequencies ALL OFF: 17855, 17715, 15390 - unless some might have moved without notice: they never announce any frequencies during broadcast. Something`s not sufficient at Noblejas. 15520 is S9+10/20 direct off the back toward ME, with flutter: not solid but readable. 2215 feature interview is something about king of Spain commissioning art, women`s portraits? by Rubens from the Low Countries in the XVII century (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAJIKISTAN. 15515, Sept 30 at 0250, gospel huxter in English, S9/+10 with flutter. EiBi shows AWR via Dushanbe for Bangladesh at 0200-0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sunday Sept 29 at 2159, VOT IS, not off the air, VG S9+45/50 into UTwente. 2200 sign/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620, preview features `Weekly Analysis`, `Letterbox` and music, into olds. One topic is objexion to US lifting arms embargo on Greek Cyprus. 2216 `Weekly Analysis` by Prof. Dr. somebody of some institution, cannot possibly copy the names or even guess at their spellings, nor at outro. About crises in ME and Europe. 2224 `The Letterbox Program`: Hope you are all in good mood. Halil is very well today unlike last week. 1) Christer Brunstr?m, Sweden: report of 11 August. Using a VOT QSL to illustrate an article in Eter Aktuellt. Says the 25-language ID is a waste of time. Why insist in English we call it T?rkiye? Should other countries require to be called Sverige, or Espa?a? Halil explains how he used to be mocked with turkey-gobbling, like when he visited the US at Thanksgiving. I`ve got news for them: it sounds too much like Turkey - should come up with a totally different name. Some remark about climate change. Tech dept says the multi-lingual ID filler reel, as I call it, is when they are turning some of the 3 satellites in use -- yeah, sure. Siam changed to Thailand to avoid confusion with that cat. 2) at 2234: Jayanta Chakroborty, New Delhi, yet again for QSL, 7 Sept report on 7275 at 0300: why does he keep reporting the NAm frequency off the back and not the S Asian 6165 off the front? Perhaps at 8:30-9:30 am IST there is too much summer daytime for 6 MHz. 3) David Ross, somewhere in Canada, new listener? Sept 9 report on 7275. DXer since 1972 and has huge ham country total. No eQSLs, only pQSLs. 4) Matthew Ellis, Springfield USA - MO, is that Missouri? heard Sept 8 at 2230. 5) Ankor? Oleg?, Brest, Belarus, no further info. 2245 time`s up, goodbye. 2246 music. 2248 multi-lingual ID filler reel. I thought there were more than 25 but have never counted them. 2252 headlines, more than usual including Greek Cypriot item. 2254 s/off as if on 17620. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2254.8 IS a few times to 2255.3* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sept 30 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, but S9+20/30 direct, s/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620 - something`s always awry at Ankara. Says after `Review of Turkish Press`, will be `Energy Agenda`, `That`s Why` and music; into olds, starting with denials of reports that Germany is deporting 200 refugees, Turx? At 2228 into UTwente when measured, S9+45 ``always-by-your-side`` filler promo crutch, music. 2236 `That`s Why` about ex-planet Pluto. 2241 music. 2243 ``a-b-y-s`` again already. Well, they do say it`s ``always``, music. 2250 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2253 s/off the 1230 on 17620 - something`s always awry at Ankara, and IS. 2256 re-start IS with German IDs. 2300 accurate timesignal and s/on German, Altrichten to 2203* chop. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U A E. 9895, Sept 30 at 0243 ME music, S9/+10. EiBi & Aoki show the only 9895 is at 0230-0300, IBRA Radio in Dari via DHA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13563+, Sept 30 at 0246, HIFER beacon AN from SW corner of AZ is JJBBA vs noise level. The only one heard at all lately, despite at least once-daily scans of this ISM band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2262 monitoring: confirmed Sunday September 29 at 2337 the 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+15/20 into Carterville IL N9AZZ SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday September 30 at 0052 the 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5 with some storm crashes into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday September 30 from 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93, S9+10/20 direct after JL gotta go at 0259, something extraneous at 0300. Also confirmed Monday September 30 at 1932 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.000+ at S9+10/15 into UTwente but with RTTY QRM from ~6164; and 3975.003-, S9+10 clear.

Thanks this week to Chris Campbell, Columbus, Ohio, who sent a box of radios and other equipment to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702; where one may also send a MO or check on a US bank. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. From George McClintock, with photos: ``WTWW: studio and audio program --- WTWW now has a studio at the transmitter site. Inline image - WTWW now has a computer program to run audio on either transmitter. Inline image. WTWW: damage -- WTWW arcing damage to transmitter # 1. Inline images - George McClintock WTWW 9-30-2024`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A. 5800, UT Mon Sept 30 at 0230, WRMI starting `Wavescan` with Ray reading a script about early wireless in Japan. Then I find same on 5850, but not synch, 4 sex behind 5800. As on skedgrid simul but different playouts on Systems D and F if you look at programming blox rather than transmitter blox atop which show otherstuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395 & 9455, Sept 30 at 0241, both these WRMIs are OFF, while the 5s and 7s are nominal. They had been back on since the worst of H. Helene (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 3803 LSB, Sept 30 at 0225, sounds like standup comedy routine, with audience applause, reverb; 0226 interrupted by ham saying ``3820``, then more of same there. No music, but is this a rulebreaker, more like a pirate broadcast?
