** CHINA. 9155, Sept 14 at 2217, JBA talk, Chinese? EiBi & Aoki agree
this is a Sound of Hope frequency subject to CNR1 jamming 24h. At this
time I would not expect east Asian reception on so low a frequency
over daypath, so maybe the jammer be in west Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 15140, Sept 15 at 2208, dead air with windhowl as
with RHC SAWA, but JBA talk underneath, presumed VOA Korean via
Tinang, PHILIPPINES which is usually free of QubaRM at this hour. And
there is a SAH = subaudible heterodyne of about 5 Hz between them, i.e
fading dips (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHILE. 14204 USB, Sept 15 at 2224, CE2TP calling CQDX in English.
QRZ.com: ``CE2TP Chile flag Chile, ALEJANDRO GUSTAVO "Jano" TOLEDO,
SCHIAFFINO, Olmue, V Regi?n, Chile`` with lots of antenna and other
equipment photos. I have not been tuning 14 MHz much, but to hear any
ham activity with 18, 21, 24 and 28 essentially dead (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CHILE. 28450 USB, Sept 14 at 2212, CA1NPK calling CQDX in English,
then CQ 10 metros in Spanish. JBA and almost the OSOB until an even
weaker unID at 2214 on 28410 USB calling CQ 10 metros. QRZ.com:
``CA1NPK Chile flag Chile, Pedro Arancibia, Callejon Guillermo Toro
Lorca 130, Copiap? 1530000, Chile -- CA1NPK, From the desert city of
Copiap? but rich in history and mineral resources, making general tune
from some "Atacame?o" hill CA1NPK. Since 2024 I have been a member of
the Copiap? Radio Club`` with nice gallery of photos of his area, not
endless antennas and receivers; but also certificates.
It`s been months since I have heard even a trace of beacon on 10m, tho
almost daily in daytime I patrol 28150-28300+. Hundreds are listed.
Are they all still diligently transmitting in case the MUF ever allow
them? If F2 be in play, generally from beyond USA anyway; need
sporadic E shorter-skip for domestic beacons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALI. 5995, Sept 15 at 0636, rough noise instead of ORTMod.
Standard incredulity (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 780, Sept 15 at 2215 UT, KSPI Stillwater already off,
daytimer long before LSS. It still exists at random chex earlier in
day. Wonder if they are trying to save tubes or expenses, since it`s
primarily on a mere translator 94.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, 15520, 17715, Mon Sept 14 at 2200, REE VG in
descending order of strength, soon very nice classical
guitar/orchestral music at 2205. `Espa?a es M?sica` show. Only an
occasional episode is availablized, going back years, at
https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/espana-es-musica/
Just as good 24 hours later during token French on Tuesdays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TAIWAN [non]. 15770 // stronger S9+20/30 17790, RTI via WRMI in
Spanish offering a pegatina = sticker commemorating the Spanish
program`s 50th anniversary, to those who request it; 2212 program `La
Isla Hermosa`, which of course Taiwan was originally named Formosa in
Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Mon Sept 14 at 2158, VOT IS & ID, S9+20/30 direct,
much better than recently, axually listenable; maybe onset of
equinoxial conditions? 2200 s/on, preview topix: T`s Footprints at
UNESCO; That`s Why. Headlines lead with something about Turkey among
top destinations for European tourists, #2?
11785, Tue Sept 15 at 2157, just as good, S9+20/30 direct, IS & ID.
2200 timesignal, sign-on as 17620 live at 1230. Preview: Conflict
Zones in Africa, Palestine: A Story that Never Ends, Turkish music.
Different M announcer than usual. News leads with Erdogan`s activities
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15016 USB, Sept 14 at 2204, 2-way contact, ``stand by for
authentication, over``, with tactical callsigns I can`t copy due to
self-imposed distortion. Then a short alfanumeric citation. Normally
on this frequency only hear protracted alfanumeric crypto exercises
said again from presumed USAF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2364 monitoring: confirmed Monday
September 14 at new time of 2230 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3974.999+,
S8/9+5 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Monday September 14 at 2330 on WBCQ 7490 -68 Hz =
7489.932, S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR. Preceded by 16 sex of deadair
following previous program before ID fires and WOR. Was talking about
the Second Amendment and Christianity, never heard of ``Thou Shalt Not
Kill``? On unreliable websked as `Conspiracy Theorist` but still
`Jesus to the Nations` instead of WOR at 2330. Even more DA following
the 29 minutes of WOR.
Not confirmed UT Tuesday September 15 at 0330 on WRMI 5850: `Freedom
Synergy Radio` interrupted for: Wavescan instead of WOR. For a long
time, WS was shown on skedgrid, while WOR was really aired. Now
neither is on sked!
Also confirmed Tuesday September 15 at 1321 the 1300 on WRMI 9955,
S9/S7 JBA into Bonaire SDR: but at 1310 was weaker direct, even with
ECSS not positively me.
Also confirmed Tuesday September 15 at 1425 the 1400 on WRMI 9955,
S9+20/25 into Georgia SDR but inaudible direct.
Missed checking the new Tuesday time Sept 15 at 1530 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 6160.
Confirmed Tuesday September 15 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.994, S9 into UTwente with storm crashes.
Also confirmed Tuesday September 15 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/30
into Georgia SDR. Next:
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
1931 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 6160;
2330 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
1531 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160 [new time];
2330 UT Thursday WRMI 5950 to NNW.
Meanwhile I search the WRMI skeds for World of, finding two new
airings I was unaware of, to be confirmed: UT Friday 0100 on 5010, and
UT Friday 0330 on 7780. I might have a brand-new episode finished in
time to air first on one of these or both!

** U S A. 9330, Sept 14 at 2218, presumed WBCQ JBA carrier detectable
but buried in mush from filthy 9350 WWCR-2 transmitter spreading
plus/minus 25 kHz scheduled 20-24 daily. 9330, Sept 15 at 0626, JBA
carrier from presumed WBCQ; at 0632 Britty talk as with WLCR, JBA S5.
9330, Sept 15 at 2203, JJBBA carrier in 9350 WWCR splash (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7656.0, Sept 15 at 0630, weak open carrier with clix at
irregular intervals, spreading JBA beyond both sides. Another mystery,
always ending in -6; what is this? Last logged March 24, 2025 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9154, Sept 15 at 2202, JBA carrier, related or not to
yesterday 9155 China? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
