** U S A. Re 12695.5, KFS: ``Hi Glenn. Thanks for including stations
KPH and KFS in your posting. The currently active transmit site for
KFS is Bolinas, CA - co-located with KPH. The KFS transmitter is a
1942 Press Wireless PW15 running about 5 kW. This transmitter was in
service for KFS at the historic (1921) Palo Alto, CA site and was one
of the transmitters used for the "last day of Morse" ceremony on 12
July 1999, the date we commemorate with Night of Nights. We brought it
and a sister PW15 to Bolinas. KFS worked SS AMERICAN VICTORY/KKUI with
multiple QTC in both directions and perhaps other customers. VY 73, RD

Richard, Good to hear from you and tnx for the clarification. I guess
I was confused by the KFS KiwiSDRs being at Half Moon Bay despite the
same callsign. If a receiver site only, that`s certainly a good idea
to be away from all the outgoing RF. 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, July 14 at 0630, WINB is OFF instead of TOMBS which
had been scheduled until 0657. It seems that TOMBS hours have been
reduced here as well as on WRMI, Channel 292 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, July 14 at 0621, JBA carrier, presumed R. Vanuatu
which Manuel Méndez found yesterday active both before and after 0600,
rather than 3945 and harmonix, so still no 11835. NO 2 x 7260 audible
on 14520 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9330, July 14 at 1440, JBA carrier. Hard to believe it`s
the 500 kW WBCQ SuperStition; if so, must be on exciter only during
English. Nothing else shares 9330 except Cuban Spy Numbers at 0700
four days a week, which was there long before WLCR/WBCQ (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15520, July 14 at 0623, S7/S9 open carrier, one of
strongest signals on band, equivalent to 15490 BBC Vatican but with
less fading. Nothing on skeds to account for it, but maybe a test from
Spain which is on 15520 only between 14 and 23. The only other 15520
scheduled is AWR 0400-0430 Amharic via Sri Lanka: possibly that
disrupted by strife, but would not expect such a transpolar signal to
be so steady (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0034 UT July 15

** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 13 at 2204, R. Cairo is terribly
overmodulated and distorted with hum but English news? somewhat
readable if you put up with it, which I will not for more than a few
seconds, S9+30/40 into UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830+, July 13 at 2207, VOT ending news and already into
`Feeling Supreme` theme, and about bone health with osteoporosis
repeatedly mispronounced, right into recommended nutrients: garlic,
apple-a-day, rosemary, coconut oil, pineapple, broccoli... Standard
disclaimer. To Maryland SDR it`s S9/+15 with RTTY on + side so must
listen on LSB, and +20+ Hz offset. To UTwente, no RTTY, S9+35/50 and
+21 Hz. To both it`s humbuzzy, annoying. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler. Normally there are press reviews, commentary before
getting into features like FeelSup at least 20 minutes into.
Something`s always awry at Ankara. But it`s not AWOL today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2146 monitoring: no signal at all Wednesday
July 13 at 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490v when tuned direct; but at 2116
confirmed via Maryland SDR, sufficient S8/9+5. Once again not `Goddess
Irena 1` next at 2130 as still shown on program sked, not checked
until 2159 ending some oldtimeradio with NBC chimes. Next:

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wednesday July 13 from 1455 to 1555,
NEVER any signal from LRA36 into best Argentine SDR, another failure
of scheduled broadcast; but there are blaaps every 7.5 seconds and
irregular clix, OTH radar? none of which would have been serious
obstacles. Better luck on Saturday July 16? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, July 13 at 0630, all these RHCs are
off already in English. You never know which or any will remain after
0600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. The much-anticipated first images from the
Webb Spacescope: yes, they are impressive and pretty - but we realize
they are the outcome of post-produxion, as no humaneye could ever see
anything like that. We hope to trust that the colorization, converted
from infrared wavelengths, bear some relation to reality; but spare us
all the six-pointed ``stars``, which if not imposed deliberately would
be considered produced by defective optix. Not satisfied with glimpses
on various TV news, I went to the NASA.gov website, which also
prompted me to take a survey: fine, I`ll tell them off! ``Do not close
this window`` --- I did not but it disappeared anyway.

Oops, altho gone from main screen I later find it - but most of the 37
questions are *required multiple-choice, and have nothing to do with
my issue, rather presentation of the website in general, etc.
Nevermind (Glenn Hauser, Terra, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.7 AM, July 12 at 2351, CB pirate relay of 103.1
KOFM Enid during local adstring, S9+10/20. What a bonus for
advertisers! Does KOFM even know or care about this hijacking? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 13 at 0501-0507, `Ukraine: Security
Issue` via WRMI. Missed the datestamp but not a repeat of yesterday so
must be new. As for the other UR1 relay:

``Checked yesterday and today, July 12 and 13, WRMI still airing
preacher at 1200 UT on 5010 kHz. There's no introduction to this
program, seems to be joined in progress. Glad to hear they've resumed
the Ukraine program at 0500. Monitored on Ocean Ridge, Florida, remote
SDR. Not readable here directly. Joe Ihnat, Southwestern Pennsylvania,
USA, HCDX`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 245 MCW kHz, July 13 at 0635 UT, FS, ND beacon at
Falls, Sioux, SD, 400 watts, JBA vs somewhat abated storm noise level,
altho common in winter. A bit easier, 248 MCW kHz, 1000 watts of dash
and WG, Winnipeg (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12695.5 CW, July 13 at 0034, KFS, Half Moon Bay, CA, with CQ
and QSX marker over and over. No breaks ever heard past 0057 for axual
contacts. Monitored for convenience via Maryland remote running, but
could have heard direct. This was the MRHS ``Night of Nights`` annual
celebration, as explained:
https://www.radiomarine.org/mrhs-events
There were also KPH CW and RTTY press broadcasts copied and posted by
others to the WOR iog, and hamband activity (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2146 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
July 12 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9+5 into Maryland remote and no jamming
audible at first; but storm noise over MD and Blitz all the way from
Nashville to DC, and Pennsylvania to Monticello.

Also confirmed Tuesday July 12 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/S9 into
Maryland with storm crashes. Worse direct, unusable, S5/S8 vs noise
level. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 15770, July 13 at 1952, VOA `Flashpoint: Ukraine` succeeds
via WRMI, program ID between interviews; S9+10 steady into Maryland
SDR, immediately followed at 2000 by gospel huxter at much louder
volume level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 13 at 0624, No signal from WLCR/WBCQ in first
bandscan sweep but a minute later at 0625 it`s on as usual in English.
Maybe break for lightning storms? 9265 WINB also missing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890 & 3215, July 13 at 0630, 50% of WWCR are OFF with
TOMBS, but still on: 5935 with TUN/DGS, and 4840 with TOMBS; why?
There had been storms over Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 13 circa 0630, still no signal from RV X3. I
did not think to check 7260 before or after 0600, but others did:

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: Strong carrier and some extremely weak
audio detected here in Reinante, NW of Spain, good signal via SDR Kiwi
remote receivers in New Zealand. VANUATU, Radio Vanuatu on air again,
7260, 0521-0612, 13-07, Bislama, English, comments, Island songs, at
0601 hour interval signal news in English, advertisements and more
songs. No change to 3945 at 0559 as usual. At 0705 Vanuatu still
continues on 7260 khz.``

``Manuel - Thanks for the timely alert! Radio Vanuatu (7260) on July
13, from 0702 to 0716 UT, with the news (unreadable); poor to very
poor; nothing on 14520 nor 21780; still on 7260 (ex: 3945) after
0815+. Ron (California)`` Howard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 9673.9V approx., Tue July 12 at 0630, RVM
unstable around here, higher than usual, not trying to measure more
precisely, but notice *0633 JBA carrier het from 9675. Nothing
scheduled to start circa 0630, but presumably CNR1 Beijing 572 site
supposed to run 2300-1000 except Tuesday siesta 0600-0900 per Aoki
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 5938.458, July 12 at 0720, RVM`s other off-frequency
measured here, facilitated by the absence of 5935 WWCR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, 6100, 6165, July 12 at 0640, RHC English manages to run
all three for a change tonight. 6000 normally closes by 0600 but not
always. No harmonix or leapfrogs heard now. Something`s always wrong
at RHC. The Other Side to R. Propaganda Cuba:

humwhine only in English. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9v, July 12 at 0635, NO signal from VON nor has there
been for several weeks, checked almost every night after 0600; nor
have I seen any other reports about this, nor other possible
frequencies 9690-, 11770-, 15120 being heard at any hours.

It seems a lot of monitors are not alert for stations *missing* from
previous/known activity. Some editors are loathe to publish any *non*
log, as meaningless? Nor has there been wailing and gnashing of teeth
about the loss of another SWBC country like there has been about
Greece. In that case there was some ERT news about a decision to stop
it, but no news from Nigeria one way or the other. Does anyone have
Nigeria/VON contacts to enlighten us about the situation, temporary or
permanent? WRTH 2022 says they have 2 x 250 kW transmitters at Abuja
Lugbe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, July 11 at 2216, VOT English S9+40 into UTwente,

OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 12 at 0501-0509, UR1 via WRMI with
English `Ukraine: Security Issue`, and current, dated July 11 for Day
138 of Russia`s war; includes latest attax on Kharkiv; Russia still
has 2000 missiles ready to use. After some weeks of no UR1 streaming,
it has resumed and so have the daily WRMI relays, rest of hour in
Ukrainian, S9+5 into Maryland SDR. Also scheduled at 12-13 UT except
Fridays southward on 5010, never checked here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, July 11 at 1949, rock music fill instead of VOA
Flashpoint: Ukraine, S5/S6 direct from WRMI. Richard Langley says VOA
streaming has been down. Incredible! Someone had reported FPU as 2030
UT, presumably error as still sked at 1930.

15770, July 12 at 1952 check, now FP:U is running with discussion of
Bucha, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. 1955 program ID in passing and
interview about the pipeline.

Was any US SW station broadcasting live coverage of the current Jan 6
Committee hearing about the Insurrexion, also just wrapping up at 1958
UT? Too busy hearwatching it on TV, but we know the answer. Free
Speech and Public Service have their limitations! Previous hearings
have already been pointedly avoided by commercial AM & FM radio,
overwhelmingly dedicated to far-right talk agenda, far more important
sports, or music.

At least besides the cable news networx, mainstream TV, ABC, CBS, NBC
and PBS were on it from 1700 UT. For those who missed it, MSNBC panel
will review it all from 0000 UT Wednesday, to repeat at 0400. Two
hours planned for each altho the live hearing, commercial-free, took
three hours with a break of more than nominal ten minutes. It appears
that next week`s hearing will zero in on treason by T**** himself
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 15770, July 12 at 1445, JBA carrier only from
WRMI, and no other 19mb signals except more than JBA Cuba 15230 &
15140. Just before this, *zero* carriers to be heard on 16m even tho
now we are the dayside. After this, more normal sigs on 22mb. Higher
propagation outwiped by K=5, WWV:

``Geophysical Alert Message
