** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, UT Sun Apr 16 at 0205, no signal from
LRA36 into Argentine or Brazilian SDRs; missed checking it earlier.
Was reported by Walt Salmaniw, BC at 0100; presumably started circa
2100 Sat Apr 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, April 15 at 2211, VOT English is not off the air
today, S9+40 into UTwente; 2214 ``Gripping Piles`` but so
overmodulated/distorted and horribly accented that I refuse to try to
eke out the subject. It`s over already at 2218 music; recheck 2253
s/off as usual citing only 4 other English broadcasts and not in
order: 1230, 1830, 2030, 1630. 2255 IS to 2255.7* Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9975, UT Sun April 16 at 0043, no signal from
KVOH, nor some later attempts. I never got around to checking last
weekend; were they ever on? To be sure, one must try sometime between
00 and 05 UT on Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon. Say, if they really wanted to be
heard somewhat in N & C America, they could run their Zambia
transmitters during that idle time period locally overnight. Not that
I should give them ideas. However one of the two transmitters there
was reported out of order too in April BDXC Communication, the one for
6065 and 11680, leaving only 9680 and 4965. However the latter two are
N-D, while 6065 & 11680 would be on 315 degree antenna, just right for
NAm beyond WAf. Could they exchange antennas? Not that I should give
them ideas! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, April 16 UT, WTWW still missing whenever checked.
Dated April 13, George McClintock sent some close-up photos of damaged
equipment he has been working on, with captions:
``Harris SW100 really dirty water drained. Clean distilled water
added. The meter tells when to change water that cools the tubes ---
.2 1/2 to change.``
``burned power module repair --- The amount of clean up required for
this burned up power module to be returned to service. Top. Bottom.
Damaged switcher module.``
``Harris SW100 air flow restricted --- foam was factory used to seal
the fan air flow to cool a radiator. The foam deteriorated and blocked
the flow of air. They did not notice this problem. Plastic used to
accomplish the seal.``
``WTWW: additional repair work --- The repair job on a previously
shown picture, required some additional work. The traces required
soldering to bridge the gap. 2 resistors needed to be added and a
solder bridge completed. Unfortunately when tested, these 2
transformers turned out to be bad. I previously ordered 8 black
transformers and will be replacing the original burned up ones. George
McClintock 4-13-2023`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
