** AUSTRALIA. 28460 USB, Sept 9 at 2323, working stations in Florida,
California, but does not phoneticize his own call. At first I think
it`s VK2AC, or -AT? Or is it VK2OC, or -OT? At least he spells his
name, MIKE. Says he`s 600 km N of Sydney, likes country life. So the
only fit in QRZ.com is: ``VK2OT Australia flag Australia, Michael
Rautenberg, 1247 Firth Heinz Road, Pillar Valley N.S.W 2462,
Australia`` and his profile says he`s 600 km N of Sydney! Neat to be
getting Australia and Brasil at same time on 10m (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** BRAZIL. 28400 USB, Sept 9 at 2321, PU2OPR, calling CQ. Takes
several passes to copy his fonetix. Per QRZ.com: ``PU2OPR Brazil flag
Brazil, José Jacinto de Oliveira, Rua Afonso Martos Filho, 294, Jd.
Itamaraty, OURINHOS, SP 19904250, Brazil`` Neat to be getting Brasil
and Australia at same time on 10m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Wed Sept 10 at 0150-0152 into Knoxville SDR,
RNA/RNB token English, S9/+15, still repeating bit about the Parque
Rodeador SW transmitter and how beneficial RNA is to the remote
Amazon. Come on! You will never hear even a headline about what`s
really going on in Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 28196+ CW, Sept 9 at 2315, EEEE DE VE7MTY/B, VG signal and
nice slow sending; heard before but not for quite a while. WGB list:
``28197.0 VE7MTY/B - Pitt Meadows BC CAN CN89pf - #0 (22 Mar 2024)
Note: ID + grid - HTX-100 Antron 99 pwr 25w``
QRZ.com: ``VE7MTY Canada flag Canada, Martin W Hill, 19696 115A
AVENUE, PITT MEADOWS, BC V3Y 1P1, Canada --- I have been operating a
ten meter beacon since 1995 on 28.197 MHz running 25 watts. It
operates 24/7. The callsign is VE7MTY/B. The beacon uses a HTX-100
transceiver, an Antron 99 vertical antenna and a Freakin Beacon keyer.
At the end of the CW message, it steps through four, 1 second power
levels. 25 - 10 - 2 - 0.5 watts`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Sept 9 at 1947, RHC English is off already, no signal
direct or into remotes which were easily getting it from 1903. Should
have lasted an hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13650, Sept 9 at 2332, no RHC frequencies on but absolutely
pointless CRI `Portuguese` relay of fill music instead for years, but
now S9+20/30 of only dead air!, except for occasional bits of
modulation spikes.
5990, Sept 9 at 2339, another failed CRI relay frequency, S9+20/30,
maybe a trace of modulation in the deadair. Somethings always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715 & 15390, Sept 10 at 2202, REE still on these unEnglish
frequencies only. Someone suggested that 15500 & 15520 transmitters be
OK, just closed down to save expenses. Hour by hour schedule for Wed
Sept 10 still claims English at 1004 & 2200 as converted to UT - but
no show last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.003, Sept 9 at 2159, into UTwente, a weak
S8/S7 carrier cuts on and off several times, stays off, so no VOT
English: something`s always erroneous at Emirler; but at 2232 recheck
when measured on 11785.009, multi-lingual ID filler reel, music. 2238
Efsun with a feature, Buffet in title? story behind everyday
something. I can`t understand her mostly; something about significance
of healing waters? Music. Alan Roe`s program sked shows on Tuesdays:
``The First Quarter of the Millennium (~5 mins)* Oddly Enough (~ 5
mins)* Unscripted Twists of Fate (~6 mins)+`` See:
https://app.box.com/s/kbdxb4c5lwpju0kpoi27aiwc35br2g2a/file/1955012121057
2253 s/off as if 1230 on 17620, awry at Ankara. If you tire of my
reporting that, I tire of hearing that absolutely wrong info! 2255 IS,
2256 pause and restart IS with German IDs. 2300 timesignal and German
s/on, still past 2303. Direct: recheck at 2314, still on in German
with flutter, S9/+10. And still on at 2333. Back to UTwente at 2347,
still on in German. Off by next check 0020, instead Chinese i.e. CNR2,
and almost 11785.000. Hey, EiBi: you have VOT on 11780 instead of
11785, which was a mistake happening only once, several months ago

September 9 at 1956 on 1322.994, S8 IRRS SW via AM Italia -- what?

** U S A. 9917.2 & 9942.8, Sept 9 at 2313 direct, WTWW during TOMBS`
moanin` & groanin`, parasitic spur carriers clearly audible but never
any modulation on them. By 2336, there is splash/splatter all the way
roughly between 9850 & 10080. While they trail off at the edges, the
severity varies within the total span. Something`s lax at Lebanon.
BTW, altho we know the only Lebanon with a SW station is in TN, there
are some *42* others, so like so many USA towns, foreigners *must*
specify the state. ``Lebanon, USA`` is meaningless. See:
https://lebanonusa.com/
``Welcome to Lebanon, USA -- Hello, My name is Fadi BouKaram and I’m a
Lebanese photographer. I’m taking a five-month road trip across the
U.S., discovering and photographing all the country’s Lebanons. For
some reason, America has so many cities and towns called Lebanon. Just
look at the map. Each dot represents one. I found out about this by
accident…``
