** ALBANIA. 13735, Oct 26 at 1845, R. Tirana still absent from previously
active English broadcast. Ditto 13625, Oct 27 at 1437 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Oct 27 a Thursday, so a thoro search for LRA36 is called
for, supposedly active Tue & Thu 13-15. Nothing detectable at 1301, 1337, 1352,
1409. However at 1439 I again have a JBA carrier near 15475 instead (comparing
to remnant of Australia on 9475). The computers here are off, so I increasingly
suspect something is really transmitting on 15475; RNASG slipped a kHz down?
Spur of something else? Nothing is scheduled now or in B-11 HFCC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. The ionosphere still hasn`t recovered from the geomag storm 2-3 days
ago. Firedrake chex Oct 26, before 1200:
10300, JBA at 1153. Did not to a complete search at this time
Before 1300: none audible 10-17 MHz around 1255-1300
Before 1400:
7970, poor at 1353
10300, fair at 1353
11500, good at 1345; none in the 12s
13850, good at 1355 but ACI from 13845 WWCR
13920, very poor at 1355 with fax QRM, Australia? None in the 14s
15440, fair at 1356 with noise; still on at 1404 plus CCI
15545, good at 1356; het on hi side
15970, very good at 1356
16100, very good at 1358
16980, very good at 1358; none in the 17s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Oct 27 at 1307, VOI still AWOL when English used to be
houred. The adjacent RRI transmitter on 9680 is still funxional but always with
QRM from China/Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, for the third day, Oct 26, R. Kuwait is in Arabic instead of
English from 1800. Already going at 1757 tune in, poor signal today, but //
13650. 1842 both in Qur`an; 1900 announcement and more Q. 1915 faded to JBA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1588, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise MW DX Oct 27:
560, Oct 27 at 1203 UT, ``La Primera en Monclova``, Casas Luxor sponsors time &
temp, from ``XEGIK, presenta Son Noticias``. That`s a play on words, both ``the
sound of news`` and ``this is the news``
620, Oct 27 at 1206 UT, two stations mixing, one playing NA late atop, and the
other in Spanish talk. 1207 the NA station sign-on mentions Chihuahua2, so it`s
the usual XEBU. The other one is more southerly, news mentioning Estado de
Veracruz, then many other place names, Estado de M?xico; most likely XENK in
the DF
650, Oct 27 at 1200 UT, NA, 1201 ID as Radio Viva, Radio K(?), Grupo Ch?vez,
tuba ensemble, 1202 ``Panorama Agropecuario`` farm show from Sinaloa heard any
morning at this time, so it`s still XETNT Los Mochis
860, Oct 27 at 1218 UT, novelty or children`s song about escuela, 1220 quick
singing ID Radio Recuerdo, interviewing kids including first-graders Br?tany y
St?fani (no telling how they really spell the names) about what they are
learning. Seldom log any XEs on 860. Cant?:
860 XENL Radio Recuerdo Monterrey, N.L. 5,000 2,000
1030, Oct 27 at 1231 UT, from WSW, gobierno federal PSAs, news about Euro
financial situation; 1242 PSAs from Estado de Chihuahua, gob. fed. So XEYC, R.
F?rmula, Ciudad Ju?rez.
The fed PSAs are now appending a rapid condensed-speech disclaimer at the end,
the text of which I wish I could copy. Unfortunately, we never see any
``domestic`` MW logs from Mexican DXers; apparently there is no interest there
in such pursuits (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 15510, Oct 27 at 1254, mostly hum and flutter, then classical
fanfare (Handel?), more JBM music, 1257 more audible classical music bits, just
filling time? 1300 brief announcement and ``Chariots of Fire`` theme, still
heavy flutter. Aoki & HFCC show this as VOR Pashto/Dari service at 12-14, 250
kW, 140 degrees from Samara; a regular here, but not for long, going elsewhere
in B-11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, Oct 27 at 1305, VOT with good signal in English, discussing
fight against terrorism = PKK, with bits of music, Kurdish? Why don`t they just
cede a chunk of Turkey to the Kurds and be done with it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9990, Oct 26 at 2050, WTWW-2 transmitter is on with test,
simulcasting PPP on 9479. Good audio and excellent signal; even with max
attenuation on the FRG-7 I can`t tell any difference in strength compared to
9980 WWCR, but George McClintock tells me WTWW was only running 25 kW. This
rhombic antenna seems to be funxioning well. There are still a number of minor
things which need to be done before #2 can be put into regular service. Night
frequency 5080 has also been tested but I haven`t heard it yet. That has QRM
from a ute data station, and WWCR has applied for 5095 instead which may have
less QRM. Once it`s in full operation he will decide on a program client; there
are two interested in 24-hour operation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1588,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5000, Oct 26 at 1145, JBA carrier from presumed WWV or WWVH. This is
extremely unusual, neither of them audible on 5 MHz. Fortunately, 2500 still
bore WWV. Further, lower-latitude signals remained such as 4055 Guatemala and
5025 Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17820, Oct 27 at 1308, big open carrier atop DW Hausa, as IBB
Greenville makes another habitual brief appearance around this time far ahead
of scheduled 17820 broadcast, VOA Portuguese at 1700. In B-11 this moves to
17650, with an earlier start Fridays at 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1588 monitoring: first airing confirmed on webcast
from WRMI 9955, UT Thursday Oct 27 until 0400. Further WRMI times: Thu 1500,
2100, Fri 0500, 1430, Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730.
WTWW: Thu 2101 9479, UT Sun 0400 5755
WBCQ: Thu 2130 NEW 7490 ex-7415; UT Sun 0300v 5110v-CUSB (last week was at 0200
by mistake)
WWRB: UT Friday 0331 on 3195, 5051
WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15331 approx., Oct 27 at 1303, 2-way in SSB, not Spanish, maybe
Chinese. I notice my logs of these things are seldom published elsewhere,
apparently of no interest. Well, I think documenting intruders is important,
and wish others would do so, especially those who could understand the
colloquial languages employed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Corrected: I wrote WWCR one place where I meant WTWW ---

Two items had the wrong date, Oct 26, really Oct 27. My apologies; must
restrain myself from haste and proofread more. gh
