** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Aug 19 at 1445, it`s Wednesday so
another regular broadcast of LRA36 should be underway from 1400. Not a
trace direct but that`s normal now. But via Brazilian SDR, not a trace
either at tune-in 1453 or so, but I keep listening as it suddenly pops
on --- I think, rather than fading in --- at *1456 with music and talk
only S2; mostly chat past 1505; 1515 song; 1522 canned ID as ``La
Radio Pública``, 1523 contact info with phone numbers, emails; 1525
into historical talk about San Martín doing something on 17 de agosto
de 1850, unlikely anything about Antarctica, past 1530 now peaking S5;
mostly talk but 1553 song; 1556.5 ID and music; 1600.5 ``continuamos
con Corazón Antártico``, chat; 1610 mentions pandemia, 1617 song,
1622* off abruptly. I had notified the WOR iog at 1519, but no one
else reported it: guess RNASG is getting to be ho-hum, at least unless
we can DX it directly. Presumably will resume circa 1630 this Saturday
unlike last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 19 at 1353-1400: none in 16s; in the
15s against VOA Thailand, Philippines, respectively on 15165, 15130,
but not surely confirmed whether jammer or not; most rest JBA carriers
except better Chinese audible*: 13835*, 13130, 13070, 13020 12210,
12190, 11460, 11440, 11150, 11120*, 11100, 10920, 9300, 9280*, 9215
until timesignal and off 9300 a few sex after 1400*. Inband 11 & 9 MHz
not checked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALI. 5995, Aug 18 at 2325, VP signal squeezed between Cuba and
Cuba, ORTM as scheduled until 2400, checking after reported coup; will
it stay on all night? Not at 0116 August 19 check. Manuel Méndez,
Spain, reported at 0629: ``5995 open today at about its usual time
0550 with African songs, but at 0600, instead of interval signal,
identification in French and comments as usual, no comments, no news,
only non stop African songs. Best 73,s Manuel``. Day frequency to
check is 9635. And will this affect the CRI Bamako relays? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NICARAGUA [non?]. 8989-USB, Aug 18 at 2317, JBA sounds like Spanish
gospel huxter know-it-all intonation, i.e. the unlicensed?
fisher/preacher associated with shores of this country, only S2-S3,
equivalent to the noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7254.9, Aug 19 at 0626, VON is S9/+10 but JBM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 18 at 2215, VOT English is VP here, but VG at
UTwente and Maine SDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 6159.9, Aug 18 at 2309, `Old Tyme Radio` on Area 61 via WBCQ
with Jean Shepherd but only S3-S5, so webcast required if at all. J.S.
episodes lead off each program this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15610, Aug 18 at 2312, WEWN English getting an HF sporadic E
boost to S9 instead of JBA, better even than 12050 WEWN Spanish.
Anyhow, confirmed on the air today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Aug 19 at 0152 on
R75 and longwire so no DFing, the first one may not be Cuba: 711, 891,
936(2), 1044, 1053, 1089, 1107, 1125, 1134, 1215(2), 1296, 1306.
At 0615 Aug 19 I am still getting only: 711, 846(surely Kiritimati
TP), 882, 936 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
