** CANADA. Re CHU missing several times from 7850, Richard Langley
tells us July 23: ``Just heard back from a technical officer at the
National Research Council: "Between July 13 and 16 we had problems
with 7.85 MHz transmitters. The temperature in the transmitter room
was extremely high, due to the outside temperature, and the
transmitter was frequently off. There could also be other factors and
we are observing this frequency on the air to make adjustments in the
future." -- Richard Langley`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 15034 USB, as of July 23, in random daytime chex have not

** CUBA. 4765 at S9+20/40 R. Progreso, and 5025 at S9+15/25 R.
Rebelde, 0237 UT July 23 both into Georgia SDR, playing different
musix, and of course much better than direct audibility (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13780 and 15230 RHCs are on, July 23 at 1408 but JBA direct.

** CUBA [non]. 13605, July 23 at 1402, R. Martí, heavily produced
feature with music, about transmitters and semi-conductors at MIT,
`Caja Digital` apparent name of segment. 11930 & 11860 are not on yet.
Next check at 1513 into FL SDR, 11860 now also on but not 11930. Next2
check at 1600, still no 11930. Next3 check at 1844, all three on and
roughly equal. Next4 check at 2159, 11930 & 11860 on but 9565 instead
of 13605; all about to go off. Not clear when 13605 switch to 9565 but
unlikely for long (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500 S9+20/30 // stronger 17715 S9+30/40 even tho the

measured, S9+30/40 with music, TRTVOTVorld.com promo. Retune 2255 just
in time to hear IS till chop at 2255.7* uncovering another much weaker
carrier with deadair/hum on 11785.004-, what? Nothing else in EiBi,
China not until *0000, but I see VOT listed on 11780 instead! That
happened only once, by mistake or experiment, as I reported. The
mystery off too by 2400, no China heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
