** CUBA. 5025, May 20 at 0635, R. Rebelde is on again, music S9+20 but
so is the noise level. Earlier at 0158 check, it was off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MOLDOVA. 15175, May 20 at *1957 carrier on, 1959 some mod, and 5+1
timesignal to 2000, Russian ``Novosti`` = news. Another test of Vesti
FM for DVR from Grigoriopol`. Surprised at the wide interest in these
from monitors in North America and Europe. Only S9/+5 into UTwente vs
OTH radar clickery already running between ~15150 and 15175 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 11725, May 20 at 0631, RNZP S9 here only,
not on 13690 like last night, where supposedly sked until 0758. It`s

52-1 KSBI-HD
52-2 BOUNCE

** TURKEY. 11785.006, May 20 at 2159, VOT not off the air, IS &
English IDs, S9+10 direct but not enough vs local hi noise level. At
2248 into UTwente when measured, S9+20/30 of music. 2252
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2253 s/off as if it`s the 1230 on
17620, awry at Ankara, and first notes of IS once before chop, no
finesse, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. ``Hi Glenn! I have been trying to log N4WLO/B on 28200.5 kHz
for the past several days to confirm the message he is sending, but I
have been unable to due to the poor conditions. When I first logged
the beacon back in August 2024, the operator was just sending a series
of dits with a short break in between, and his callsign once every ten
minutes. A couple of weeks ago, several listeners reported to the
hfbeacons list that his message had changed. They reported that he was
now sending “TEST DE N4WLO/B”, so “TEST” is likely what you heard as
“NST”. Whether it was the rapid speed of the code or imperfect keying,
“TE” could easily sound like an “N”. Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` I
bet that`s it; tnx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

hetting 810.0 WHB. Its exact frequency varies a little from one log to
the next (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

like regular AM being fed noise and emitting it, rather than IBOC or
anything else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15120-15145 approx., May 20 at 2202, OTH radar clickery,
vs no broadcasters but condx are awful. See also MOLDOVA (Glenn
