Apparently, Kuwait has been spotted lighting up another DRM Broadcast. Hat
tip for this goes to Mauno Ritola, the WRTH Facebook page and another user
there.
I have 15110khz here in Pennsylvania, and if this were analog it'd be a
pretty good signal but DRM is not holding lock and only revealing bleeps
and blurbs of audio now and then.

** ANGUILLA. 6090, Oct 31 at 2343, whee! DGS is back from The Valley, with VG
S9+30 signal and modulation. Had been off for weeks since hurricane, except for
a very brief reactivation a few days later when it seemed to be OK then. At
0154 Nov 1 check, // 5935 WWCR and synchronized, taking the same satellite feed
from LA. Day frequency 11775 may be back too. It was reported that the antenna
needed repairing, while the MW 1610 tower was completely down, and still
unheard there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9666.15, Oct 31 at 2346, R. Voz Mission?ria is back after missing
last night, S9+5 and wayer off-frequency. I can also hear it wavering while
measuring, Portuguese religion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Oct 31 at 2336, pirate music with heavy pulsing
beat; S9+15. YL inserts comment about Facebook; 2340 she says something about
weapons restrixions, as I find the music sounds better when tuned to
6950.12-USB; 2345 she says, ``Happy -u-k-n Hallowe`en, from Clever Name
Radio``. Many more logs here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,38415.0.html
Seems it started this frequency at 2335 and was off by 0008 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, Oct 31 at 2337, pirate music at S9+25. Finally at
2354, ``Wolverine Radio`` ID. Many2 more logs here, and SSTV images on a HW
theme:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,38406.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 4065-USB, Nov 1 at 0118, pirate music; axually sounds better
at 4064.989, DJ sounds like Dick Weed, conversing with someone, so must be
Radio Free What-Ever; 0130 more talk, mentioning having listened to Wolverine,
but conditions bad on 6.9 MHz band so moved down here; 0148 still going. I find
this in normal bandscanning, when there is no activity on 6.9 band, and would
alert others to this seldom-active pirate frequency, but HFUs were already
reporting it from all over North America:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,38418.0.html
None of them mention QRM from beacon NZ or ZN. See my separate unID log (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, Oct 31 at 2332, R. Chaski carrier is again quite
audible amid the QRDRM from ROMANIA, until autocutoff at 2333:58*, which is a
hefty 7.5 seconds later than last night until 2333:50.5*. RRI has run DRM now
for three nights in a row on this frequency it shows as non-DRM, so hardly
seems accidental; plus, switches to AM before 0000 for the Spanish hour which
follows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 6130, Nov 1 at 0154, RRI signing-off English to North America, only
S9-S7, but to be followed by another hour in French; not DRM, but see PERU
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 13745, Nov 1 at 0002, HSK9 presumed English to N America, but VP
S5-S6, and this time 13740 Cuba is no problem, hardly any better at S4-S7
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2000-USB, Oct 31 at 0612 check, no sign of New York Radio VOLMET,
which has been missing from its four shortwave channels, and which a few years
ago strangely appeared on this temporary bandedge frequency, as Paul S in CT
reminds us. Also nothing at some further chex early UT November 1 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1901 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday October
31 at 2030 on WRMI, much stronger on 11580 than // 9455.
However, one hour later at 2130 when on 9455 only, I find the WRMI signal even
weaker but detectable and mixing with fluttery Chinese music, maybe Firedrake.
Well, of course! HFCC B17 shows IBB in Chinese via SAIPAN at 21-22, so it Must
Be Jammed. Furthermuchmore, the preceding 5 hours are more of the same: 16-17
and 17-21 also Saipan, but in three different segments since there is a
10-degree antenna beam change for the middle one from 300 to 310 degrees, why?
What other collisions does WRMI now face on 9455? 02-03 IBB in Bod/Tibetan via
Kuwait, and jamming; 06-09 Riyadh in Arabic, 500 kW, 295 degrees; and
Bangladesh Nepali service which was on 9455 years before WRMI came along, but
at 1315-1345 only, despite having registered the full hour. Maybe it`s time for
WRMI-5 to revert to the 6.8 MHz band where it started, especially since it`s
wintrish again and less fadeoutty overnight --- but down there it kept being
bumped off by USG reclaiming frequencies for MARS or something. No such plan is
in initial HFCC registrations.
WOR 1901 replayed at 2130 because I was running a bit late today.

** U S A. 3185, Oct 31 at 2338, WWRBS is already on, so no 9370 day frequency
over this night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9475 & 5830, Oct 31 at 2339, WTWW-1 still missing from both day and
night frequencies. What`s wrong? Joins WTWW-3, gone for months from 12105.
5085, however, still worx, since WTWW-2 is Ted`s plaything, no programming from
Scriptures for America which owns the facility; UT Wed circa 0150 running ham
program. Flanked by the spurs he cannot or will not eliminate circa 5072 and
5098 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.357, UT Wed Nov 1 at 0149, ham discussion on WBCQ, now S9+10,
and should improve as we get wintry, having stayed here all summer in the
static (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1710 kHz, Oct 31 at 0605 UT check, can make out the screaming service
from Radio Ret?n lo que Tienes, the pirate from B?ton Rouge LA which is in no
hurry to get busted. Also considerable 1710 carrier, presumably this, circa
0200 UT Nov 1. It was first being reported locally on FM back in March also
claiming to be on 1710 then, but only in last month is being DXed, so must have
beefed up their MW output (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4066 approx., while monitoring Radio Free Whatever pirate on
4065-USB [see NORTH AMERICA], I`m barely hearing a CW ID over and over as ZN
--- or is it NZ? Pauses between are so similar I can`t decide which one comes
second. Might have been out of RFW transmitter itself. Music from RFW just
about blots it out, but much more audible while Dick Weed is talking, and
definite copy at 0130. RFW is off by 0159, but so is the beacon. It ought to be
in this listing:
https://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/High_Frequency_Beacon
where there are several others around this frequency, but it`s not.
Any ideas? I frequently check this area for beacons but nothing heard for
months. Searching my archive on NZ would be overproductive, but ZN? I was
getting ZN last February on a nearby frequency:
``UNIDENTIFIED. 4070.34, Feb 7 at 0257, JBA CW beacon sending ZN over and over
slowly. Previously logged Feb 4 a 0448 as on 4070.36; maybe my estimates are
varying rather than the transmission. So where is it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 4070.396, Feb 9 at 0656, beacon ZN is in again,
sending ID about 15x per minute, and peaking CW at S8``
Never found out where it is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
