DX Decoding; not taking time to explore subchannels:

BAD signals: RF 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 21, 36. There are still *no* RF 6 in
OK, so must be KBSD Ensign KS = Dodge City, only one in KS. Takes some
doing to show an RF 6 sig into my antenna for hiband 7+ and UHF only
and aimed SE. There are however several low-power RF6 in TX, not LA

** PERU. 21265 USB, May 14 at 2207, OA4CHA calling CQ in English, then
QSO in Spanish. We had trouble understanding his fonetik for H but I
guess it was hotel. QRZ.com: ``OA4CHA Peru flag Peru, Luis Enrique
"Luis" Meza Alvarado, Calle Andalucía 207, La Molina, Lima 15024,
Peru`` - but his ``latest QSO`` shown there was on 4-28 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** SPAIN [and non]. 17715 & 15390, May 14 at 2159, NO Signals from
REE, must be off, while 15500 is S9+20/30 and 15520 S9+10. 17 MHz prop
is OK since 17880 from Beijing site is audible - I had assumed it were
Kashgar. The two REEs are SSOB along with 15770 WRMI. 2200, SNR token
English previews something about Segovia; and San Ysidro en Madrid.
