Hauser
** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, July 2 at 1828, RTA via FRANCE starts ENGLISH
segment, YL historical artistic talk about a painter whose name I
never catch, continuous music background. 1836 into another feature,
`Destination: Algeria` tourist talk by OM about the sights in the
northeast, then northwest; 1841 into Spanish, weekly Latin American
correspondent in Bs. As. about the COVID-19 situation especially in
Brasil. Tnx to Pedro Sedano, Spain, who tipped us on the WOR iogroup
that this hour only carries the International domestic network, not
just Arabic/Qur`an and some French but also English circa 1830 and
Spanish like this. Times could be 1 minute off as I recorded during
significantly home-grown salad lunch and did not listen until later.

AFAWK, this is the only time for English on SW, other than some
scattered IDs. Monitored here VG via UTwente SDR; didn`t try direct
but probably would hear more Cuban jamming against no Martí than RTA.
This hour on one frequency only. Also reported by Alan Roe, UK, and
via UTw, Richard Langley, NB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2041)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 2 at 1339: 14990 VP; 13160 two
signals; 1130 Chinese S5-S7; 12500 & 11440 JBA carriers.

At 1346: 11150 music, 11120 JBA, 11100 & 10920 JBA carriers (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9490.024, July 3 at 0150, Radio República is VG
S9+20/30 with the jamming underneath JBA for a change. Mentions ``Cuba
libre``, ending newscast with rooster crow. Caught my attention in
bandscan since this far off-frequency, unusual for Issoudun if FRANCE
still be the site with RMI the go-between broker rather than just
putting it on much closer Okeechobee. Europe is hot tonight, 9420
Greece also inbooming with its musical alternative (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760.201, July 2 at 1337, VOK exactly same remeasured
off-frequency for second day in a row, S3-S5, usual syrupy choral
music from paradise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2041)

** OKLAHOMA. Re: 1270 KRXO in Tulsa [now in Spanish // 107.9]. Yes
Glenn, KRXO abruptly changed their format a few weeks ago. "The
Franchise" laid off their main morning hosts early in the Pandemic, I
wondered then if the handwriting was on the wall... 107.7 is off the
air, 73 (Chris KC5IIE Krug, Tulsa, OK, July 2, WOR iog)

Chris, OK, but what do you mean by ``107.7 is off the air?`` The only
107.7 in OK is the original KRXO-FM in OKC, still very much on the air
as The Franchise, in English as I am hearing it now (Glenn, Enid, 1459
UT July 2, WOR)

** U S A. 28263-, July 2 at 1424, one 10m beacon is JBA, VVV DE W4JPL
BCN ... LIB ... 05. No /B suffix, just space, BCN. Partial msg copied
after multiple repeats. WJ5O roster shows:
``28.2635 W4JPL C LIBERTY NORTH CAROLINA # 4W, 5/8 VERTICAL``
And QRZ.com:
``W4JPL USA flag USA, JOHN P LLOYD, LIBERTY, NC 27298 USA``
with no further info. Liberty is SE of Greensboro on the way to Siler
City, or forming an equilateral triangle with Greensboro and
Burlington. I logged it as on the minus side of 28263 but listed on
plus side; one of us is mistaken. Very briefly another beacon
audiblized slightly higher in frequency. No Es MUF into FM today;
openings should taper off as we get into July but there could still be
some goodies if we can catch them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2040 monitoring: confirmed final SW

** U S A. 9980 during the day July 2, and 5890 at night, checked 0420
UT July 3, WWCR-4 still off the air depriving us of extra BS. John
Jurasek found an explanation on the website:

``WWCR is working on a major transmitter repair. Additionally, WWCR
streams may not be playing scheduled content. . . All parts needed to
complete this project should be received by July 3. WWCR staff and
management appreciate your patience during this time.``

Program skeds have now been updated as of July 1, and WWCR-4 still
shows 24/7 on 9980/7520/5890, so enjoy the fresh air while we can!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0520 UT July 3
