 ** BRAZIL. 11780, July 14 at 2203, RNA S9+10/20 direct in presumed `Voz do Brasil` at this hour; someone had reported it missing recently. Also UT Tue July 15 at 0155, RNA/RNB in Spanish bit about the Parque Rodeador SW transmitter site, presumably after English bit. 0159 usual ID and s/off routine, but still on at 0202 with ``Garota de Ipanema`` and another hit past 0207 until chop in mid-word at 0208* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13780, July 14 at 2214, Spanish historical talk no doubt in honor of Bastille Day, mentioning Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité --- and then, RHC ID! A RARE new frequency for them, S9/+10, good modulation level with only slight distortion; and not // 15230 I had just checked at 2212, S9 but very suptorted, intonation sounding Spanish instead of Portuguese. At 2330, 13780 with music is S7/9+10 into Lima SDR. Still on at 2357 direct, but 15230 off by now. AFAIK, RHC never on 13780 before and not in current schedules, least of all its own, which is still imaginary B23: https://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias Axually an accurate current sked would be of-interest, duh. Somethings always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13650, July 14 at 2352, S5/S6 of dead air direct or maybe JBM, the CRI relay for years of music fill instead of Portuguese. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 4765, July 15 at 0048, no signal from R. Progreso direct, tho 5025 has JBA carrier from severely underpowered Rebelde; and by 0132 still no 4765 into Georgia remote, nor at 0155, 0243. Somethings always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PANAMA. 28282 CW, July 14 at 2204, VVV HP1DCP/B ... COM 73s. Last heard May 6; still NOT in WGB beacon list, in fact only one HP somewhere else. This one is in QRZ.com: ``HP1DCP Panama flag Panama, RENE IVAN FONSECA, P.O.BOX 0819-09911, REP. OF PANAMA, Panama`` [sic: they sure don`t want to bother with accenting all those á] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17715 // 15500, Mon July 14 at 2200, token English from SNR, equally S9+20/30 direct on these, also audible on 15520 and JBA? on 15390. Preview topix to be a festival in Córdoba, and killing malaria parasites but not? mosquitos. News leads with something going on in Murcia vs North African resident there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004+, July 14 at 2204, VOT not off the air, S9/+10 JBA direct vs noise level. At 2244 when measured, S9+40/50 into UTwente, ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2251 ``with-you-ever-hour`` promo, s/off as if 17620 from 1230, awry in Ankara, 2252 IS almost to 2253*. Some editors like to delete my non-logs of this as if inconsequential: but they are significant, and without them one might wonder why other logs are specified as NOT off the air! We are not simply routinely logging stuff as supposedly scheduled, but building up evidence of failures or at least anomalies, the big picture (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2303 monitoring: confirmed Monday July 14 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.000-, S9/+15 into UTwente, by recording, presumably also on usual 3975. Next: 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 and/or 918; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW]; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

Africa Network. The transmitter grid for WRMI-11 on 17790 at 160 degrees (same as 9955 azimuth) now shows RAN until 2130, red System F at 2130-2200, and green CRR System E at 2200-2400. But the red Sys F program schedule at 2130-2200 shows 15770 only. And there could be even more; NASWA Flashsheet: ``17790 UNKNOWN. UNID, July 6, 2025, 0119–0133. OM with sermon or religious message in EE, possibly from the Vatican. I was unable to find or hear an ID sufficiently well to be positive. SIO 333. Mixed choir with a hymn after the sermon (Vince Henley, WA)`` Well, today July 15 at 0125, no signal on 17790 into Lima (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0248 UT July 15 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
