** CHINA. 13530 & 14920, Oct 13 at 1457, CNR1 music jamming Sound of
Hope, S8/S9 just before 1500*; while two other obvious ones, 13020 &
15920 are JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 15690.035, Oct 13 at 1500, bandscan direct hits an obvious
frequency deviation, estimated 15690.04, talk with no break at
hourtop. 1520 checking via UTwente with more precise measurement as
above with ME music. It`s R. Farda, American clandestine for Iran,
listed as Biblis site, a USAGM one often askew. No break at real
hourtop, since Iran imagines it`s hourbottom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Oct 13 after 2200, token English from SNR, VG
into Bonaire SDR, and just as good on 15520 for ME; After news,
2208-2211 report from Beirut, Lebanon correspondent summarizing what
we already know about the Hamas/Israel war. 2212 interview prof from
DePaul University, Chicago about the situation, criticizing Spain`s
government for not denouncing Hamas, unlike other western nations
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 13 after 2200, VOT English not off the air;
in fact VG signal S9+40/45 into UTwente and VG modulation for a
change. 2216-2220 `Review of the Turkish Press`, also about Topic A;
music; later, `Weekly Analysis` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U A E. 15310.118, Oct 13 at 1503, JBA carrier direct, way
off-frequency, first estimated at 15310.13, then displayed by UTwente
as above; calibration of that checked vs WWV 20000 reads only 1 Hz
high. At UTwente can hear it`s Arabic. EiBi shows BBC this semihour
only, the token revival for Sudan after cancelling all Arabic earlier.
DHA site is really sloppy in frequency accuracy, reflecting poorly on
its clients (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

MARK T AVAKIAN, 24443 E DOYLE RD, CATALDO, ID 83810, USA
``My 10 Meter Propogation Beacon at Rose Lake transmits on 28.2165 MHz
at 5 watts. It's pretty much always on with a couple of deep cycle
batteries for power. The transmitter is an old Realistic HTX-100. The
antenna is an A-99 vertical. The keyer is an ID-O-Matic by N0XAS. The
receiver in the HTX-100 smoked, literally, years ago but the
transmitter just keeps on going. I have a small fan in back of the
radio to keep things a little cool. For me part of the fun of having
the beacon is playing with antennas. So far it's had a loop, dipole,
and verticals 8', 17', 31' and 120' long. Bill, WJ5O is sort of the
USA Beacon Guru. His website has everything you've ever wanted to know
about beacons and then some. http://www.qsl.net/wj5o/
I really like knowing if the beacon is getting out and to where, so
please drop me a email or QSL if you happen to hear it`` (Glenn

good, old fashioned, tree killing, non-electronic QSL, SASE to my QRZ

to receive QSL Cards in the regular mail.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Oct 13 at 1525 and again/still at 0052 Oct 14, WLCR
via WBCQ-6 is OFF the air. Wonder what`s wrong now. See UZBEKISTAN
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, Oct 13 circa 2305, WTWW not on air, but is upon next
check 2320, apparently another late start (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UZBEKISTAN. 9329.930, Oct 13 at 1523, gospel music at S9+15 into
UTwente; I`m checking how WLCR via WBCQ is making it to Europe.
Incredibly this is way off-frequency. In fact, local check finds WBCQ
OFF, nothing else audible here. But UTw: 1527 Korean announcement.
EiBi shows clandestine CMI V of Wilderness, via Tashkent. WRTH shows
religious, by Cornerstone Ministries. Off at 1529* and still no WBCQ.
When both be on, must be quite a collision in Europe if not Korea
