** BRAZIL. 28270.5 CW, Aug 16 at 2340-2347, JBA beacon finally copied
after multiple repeats: dash and VVV PY4MAB + more maybe gridsquare:
``28.2705 PY4MAB ? POCOS DE CALDAS, BRAZIL # beacon reported August
2010 coor[d]inated 2 Dec 2021`` per WJ5O roster. It`s the OSOB, no
other beacons or phones heard. Es MUF has been way below FM band
today, but DXMAPs show lots of multiple-hop Es between Brasil and USA
on 28 MHz. QRZ.com:

``- I have a Radio Beacon on the frequency of 28.270.5 CW, 24 hours a
day, vertical antenna, 10 watts of power. In 2020 it will be 10 years
since Beacon is on the air. Whoever receives the signals and sends me
a confirmation by letter I will respond to everyone and send a special
QSL card from my city.
Listen to a montage I made with my contacts with the astronauts aboard
the International Space Station in the video below:``

** CHINA [and non]. 17595, Aug 16 at 2355, JBA carrier; and 17580, JBA
talk. Aoki shows both as CNR1, from Shijiazhuang and Lingshi 725 sites
respectively. HFCC agrees, adding both 100 kW, azimuths 217 and 286
degrees resp., i.e. nowhere near thisaway on short day path. Only
other sig on 16m is 17855 Spain still blasting in over mostly night
path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also TAIWAN [and non]
** CUBA. 11670, Aug 17 at 0333, RHC in Spanish, not English, S9+10 but
quite distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
11850, Aug 17 at 0333, S9+20 but just barely modulated, obviously RHC
where something is always wrong.
12000, Aug 17 at 0334, S5/S6 of RHC English on 2 x 6000, quite weak
compared to the fundamentals on 25m, but there. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Aug 17 at 0330, MWV amid English hour, no
African accent but I guess it`s African Pathways Radio as per EiBi,
rather than KNLS programming, S8/9+10 --- No! This mapsked does not
show this hour as APR so must be NLS:

** TAIWAN [and non]. 18899.81, Aug 16 at 2352, JBA Chinese, and since
it`s so weak and off-frequency, suspect it`s really Sound of Hope
without jamming; especially since the only other signal on this almost
disused extra SWBC band is 18970, S3/S5 of Chinese talk and music,
surely CNR1 *jammer against the only other SOH frequency, as in Aoki:
18900 2200-1000 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7
18970 2200-1000 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7
21530, Aug 16 at 2350, JBA carrier is the OSOB, which fits as the only
13 mb channel of SOH and consequently CNR1 jamming:
21530 2300-1300 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: almost confirmed Tuesday
August 16 at 2230 on WRMI 9955: start ``This is Glenn Hauser with
World of Radio...`` then cuts immediately to TOMBS! Was S9+15/20 into
Knoxville remote, no jamming yet. Jeff White says the audio matrix
occasionally plays wrong audio system, so I guess WOR is still
supposed to air at this time.
Confirmed Tuesday August 16 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland
SDR; but not on 5950 like last week, so I guess that were another
mistake. Next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
