** CUBA. 11760, Sept 9 at 2228, S9+10/20 deadair with windhowl from SAWA RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** HAWAII. 10000, Sept 9 at 0623 UT, only WWVH, normal since at this hour, frequency and distance, WWV is too close to propagate. Hurricane knocked out power all over Kauai, one report said 95%. But WWVH apparently kept ticking. https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/time-distribution/radio-station-wwv/wwv-and-wwvh-broadcast-outages shows no WWVH outages since April 5, 2026 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Sept 9 at 0624, rough noise is S9+25. We *never* hear any trace of ORTModulation when rn be running, lending credence to assumption it be the ORTM transmitter itself malfunxioning. Other reports: Harald Kuhl, Denmark, BDXC-UK iog: ``Is this a digimode signal I am hearing on 5995 kHz at 2020 UTC (7 sept 2026) or is it Radio Mali with heavy modulation problems? Last night Radio Mali was strong with finest AM on 5995 kHz. vy73 Harald OZ/DL1AX`` Don Moman, VE6JY, at 0606 UT Sept 9: ``The "rough noise" is from 5992.5 to 5997.8. There is no carrier. I see no digital/data content.`` Rodney Johnson, MN: ``it seems on Sept 9, "rough noise" started at 0535z and was still going, last check at 0610z. 73s --Rodney`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 780, Sept 8 at 2202, not off the air yet, ID for 94.3 K232FI-FM and KSPI. Translator tail wags Stillwater AM dog (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Sept 9 at 1358-1405 UT, NO signals from the weekly Oklahoma Operations Secure HF Test Net, taking a holiday break even tho it`s not Monday?

So maybe will remain on for weekly token English on Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15500, Wed Sept 9 at 2159, REE is indeed still on for weekly token English to N America, S9+20/30 direct, also on weaker 15520, weakest 17715, and infinitely weak on 15390 and all other frequencies. Intro as with Alba and Daniel, but we never hear the voice of Alba Cuéllar. I`m sure Daniel is a fine fellow and broadcaster, and I would not want him to lose his job, but I can`t imagine a serious international broadcaster such as VOA employing a Spanish announcer with an extremely heavy English accent. I wish Daniel would make an effort to improve his accent to go with his clear fluency. I guess this result from book-learning, rather than listening to native speakers. Anyhow, musical bed with talk over it: 2200 accurate timesignal, ID, claims to be ``live``, like it would have been at 10 UT, previews: Fórmula One racing Grand Prix coming to Madrid; also a literary festival; human-induced climate change. 2202.5 summary of news of the week: consequences of Ceuta crisis. Oppo says Pres. Sánchez will get beat in upcoming elexion. Intelligence report on Ceuta is being released, nothing to hide. Morocco suggests it should take over control of Ceuta y Melilla. Spain asserts shall remain Spanish for all time. Government accused of lying, coverup. Blaming Morocco? Sánchez branded a traitor. Demonstrations in cities across Spain supporting Ceuta. 2212 other news: education must be improved; only 28% of students reach sufficient level in science, reading, etc. Declining reading comprehension must be improved. 2213 ID and international news: EU leader visits Greenland. UK, France, Canada join other countries banning imports of something from Israeli-controlled areas. 2215 cultural news: candidates for 2027 Oscars, with clips, trailers, including ``La Ola Negra``; entrants to be announced on Sept 16. Something about Madagascar. Festival in Wales has 60 events. Literary festival in Madrid: more later. 2222 sports: tennis, basketball... tune out!

WORLD OF RADIO 2363 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday September 8 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9/+15 into Bonaire, some other program interrupted for ID and WOR. Also confirmed Tuesday September 8 at 2333 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975, S7 JBA trace of me into recommended DL7APJ remote, after no audible signal into UTwente but JBA carrier on 3974.996, nor into Carlow, Ireland SDR. Propagation really pitiful. By this hour, of course, 6160 occupied by the Chicom. Anyhow, from next week, Sept 15, Tuesday airing of WOR will be at 1531 on 6160. Also confirmed UT Wednesday September 9 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 with storm crashes into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed Wednesday September 9 from 1930.7 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 6160.000+, S9+10 with RTTYditty on plus side as usual; and 3974.999+, S9+10, both into UTwente. This is the only WOR airtime on SWRG that will not change next week. Also confirmed Wednesday September 9 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+35 into Georgia SDR. Next: 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 6160; 2330 UT Thursday WRMI 5950 to NNW.

Notified Jeff again at 1527. They are looking into it; in daytime it sounded OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1180 kHz, Sept 9 at 0647, ``Yacht Rock 1180``, non-ID immediately at tune-across, in LSB mode to avoid IBOC from 1170 KOTV. It`s KZOT Bellevue [Omaha] NE, U4 25/1 kW. The Martí/Rebelde Cuban radio war is no obstacle now. I guess Y.R. became a thing only recently? I don`t get it. No, the term dates from 2005y: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacht_rock It`s impossible to search the term in the paper-only NRC AM Log, but I try the WTFDA FM DB, and get not a single hit on yacht as a format or a slogan! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 257 MCW kHz, Sept 9 at 0631 UT, JBA carrier from an NDB. Noise level conditions ever so slightly improving, audiblizing more carriers, but too weak to copy. RNA list reminds of two logged before: JYR, 25 watts at York NE, last logged Jan 27, 2026; and FWC, 25 watts at Fairfield IL, last logged March 18, 2026. 293 continues to bear FBY FairBurY NE, but must be alert for CCI from qUIncy IL or TORrington WY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15100, Sept 9 at 1445, S5 open carrier again, about equal to noise level and hardly any other signals on band. Suspect TWR Swaziland, normally on 15105, per EiBi at 1442-1457 on Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun only, but this is Wed. Need to check what show on those days; if both 15105 & 15100, not TWR on latter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0017 UT September 10 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
