No other signal now. I`m looking for the brand new Brazilian SW station, imagine that! which Bryan Clark in NZ discovered, heard since Oct 31, peaking 0630-0900, ID with help of Brazilian DXers as R?dio Saturno in Belo Horizonte, 92.3 and 6150, and QSLed already. Apparently not on MW. Searching, I find several Youtube clips of it dating back to July 14, 2021! How did this escape the notice of the broader DX world? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTOebO9s3GU Bryan estimates power only around 1 kW.

Equally super during the 22 UT hour now are 9565, 7375 and 7355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11950, Nov 2 at 2215, RHC is S9-S3 but undermodulated during the `Mesa Redonda` TV soundtrack alternate Spanish; // 6000 at 2226 is S9+25/15 and even worse, just barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GALAPAGOS ISLANDS. 18150-USB, Nov 2 at 2200, HD8R uttering this call every few seconds, alternating with AB8F apparently trying to contact him. I hear both well, but they can`t hear each other? Then HD8R adds ``up 5`` meaning he is listening only on 18155-USB. His accent is so heavy I had a hard time understanding his fonetix. No details at QRZ.com beyond this: ``HD8R Galapagos Islands flag Galapagos Islands Dxfriends Dxpedition San Cristobal Galapagos Islands Ecuador QSL: EA5RM Page managed by EA5RM Lookups: 157850`` but linx to http://www.dxfriends.com which leads to: http://www.dxfriends.com/hd8r/ headed ``CUADRILLA DE TIFARITI - GALAPAGOS 2021 HD8R`` with a camel? mascot which are not among the Gal?pagos fauna; but the Friends started out with Western Sahara a sesquidecade ago; now a 14-member team consisting of 6 from Spain, 4 from France, 1 from Ecuador, 1 from Colombia, and 2 from Italy. ``We?ll be active from October 26th to November 7th, from 6 to 160 meters (including Warc bands) on CW, SSB and Digi modes with at least 4 stations on the air at the same time. HD8R grid locator is: EI59gc`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 15215, Nov 2 at 2204, SE Asian song, S8-S4, something new here. Aoki shows it`s KSDA daily in Vietnamese hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [and non]. 11815, Nov 2 at 1404, NHK dominant over TRT making SAH, adding up to S7. By 1439 Turkish music dominates, still SAH from NHK. They overlap at 14-15, but don`t care about the collision here, target for neither. Hope they each have no problem with the other in their own targets: 235 degrees from Yamata; 310 degrees from TRT for W Europe, but we are directly beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Nov 2 at 1612, Kashmir Civitas weekly Tuesday clandestine via IRRS ROMANIA, S7-S9 into UTwente, now one hour later at 1600 due to standard time in Europe, not Kashmir --- and it`s almost all in English. YL with American accent interviews OM with S Asian accent, but she apparently also has SAs roots. First about his background as a musician and documentary film-maker, and I wonder if this is really about Kashmir, but then mentioning India and Pakistan; 1625 she invites him to say something in Kashmiri -- not Urdu, and he does, alternating with English. 1626 brief transmitter break as they are upwrapping, ``fight against India for freedom``, 1628 concluding with their names, totally unreadable, chopped off at 1629* with no RRI IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 9560.044, Nov 2 at 0620, S3-S5 talk in African-accented English. This hour is VOA relay from Pinheira, typically off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 11670, Nov 2 at 2210, REE is JBA but // VG 9690, also 12030 and distorted 11940 -- NOT on 11685. This is strange, since Wolfgang Bueschel has been reporting 11685, not 11670, since B-21 began, including earlier today with a silly ballgame. Is REE indecisive about which African frequency to use, even during a single day`s span? Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.
