** CUBA. 15230, June 20 at 1444, RHC is S7/S9, the SSOB except for
15150 WMLK, but very suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. [WOR] ``Radio Farda:

1000-1300 sur 15720 (DHA)
HFCC June 20`` (via Jean-Michel Aubier, WOR iog)

UTwente is getting something on 12034.986 at 1605, talk, S9/+15 but
not solid, apparently Farda via UAE, with characteristic
offfrequenciness. Nothing listed on 12035 at any time by EiBi and
Aoki. 12035 also confirmed after 1900 by Rudolf Grimm, Brasil, when
it`s Woofferton.

9450, next frequency per above schedule, also had been unused at these
hours per Aoki & EiBi: 9449.989-, June 20 at 1822, almost same offset
at DHA/UAE, more presumed Farda, S9+10/20 into UTwente. At 1830,
mentions of Iran and Farda (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2300 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday June 20 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA direct but
recognizable. 

Also confirmed Friday June 20 at 2056 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,

``Hansen``. Next:

** U S A. 91.5, June 20 at 0330 UT, music and ID as ``Smile FM``, that
Michigan station which has bought KSNS Medicine Lodge KS. Noticed
during yet another fruitless bandscan for sporadic E FM DX, hopping
all around us, above us but missing us at ground level (Glenn Hauser,

** BRAZIL. 11780, June 19 at 0150 into Bonaire, S9+10 in some native
language, translation voiceover Portuguese, more but diffrent voice at
0156, 0159 back to Brasuguese: instead of nominal 0150 English, 0155
Spanish. What is that language? Also noted by John Figliozzi: ``No
English tonight. Sounds like a man speaking in a language native to
the Amazon region. (0150-0157)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2300)

** CANADA. 28168 CW, June 19 at 1551 just before trying for the
Armstrong special from NJ on 42.8 MHz, even 10m is hardly open,
nothing but a JBA beacon finally copied after multiple passes as: EEE

** U S A. 1650 kHz, June 19 at 0622 UT, Spanish audible underneath
``The Fan`` which is KCNZ in Iowa. Probably KBJD Denver, if not KSVE
El Paso - no overnight tones from that heard in longtime but
supposedly 24h with TUDN, per NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK,  WOR)

** U S A. 42.8 MHz, June 19 at 1556-1607 UT, no trace of a signal from
the publicized Armstrong FM test from Alpine NJ, as in:

https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/armstrong-broadcast-returns-to-new-jersey-in-june
Never clarified whether this would be in WB FM, NB FM, or not even
FM!

Tuning direct on the R75, however, without a specific VHF antenna.
Sporadic E might have propagated it afar. At that time I was hearing
only one ham beacon on 10m from Ontario; see Canada. Other reports of
no signal on 42.8:

Patrick Mannion, W1PAC, WOR iog at 1559: ``Listening on a nearby web
SDR, so far nothing heard, not even signs of a warmup.`` Mannion at
1630 UT: ``Just got a carrier as of 12:30pm``

Arthur Pozner: ``Which SDR are you using?`` -- ``A friend's internet
connected one, it was DM'ed to me on IRC. I don't think I'm allowed to
share it.``

At 1617 UT: Mike Schaffer, WTFDA: ``Nothing heard in Easton, PA
(FM20jq). Who is hearing it?`` At 1654: ``Armstrong Tower is 70 miles
east-northeast of my location. Still not hearing it.``

Mike Bugaj, CT: Not hearing it and really wasn't expecting to. 100
miles NE with an APS13 not cut for 40 MHz. Heck I can't even get WNYZ
87.7 unless tropo is up. I would expect this to be a NYC area event.`

** IRAN [and non]. Checking for VIRI`s other English broadcast June 18
at 1520-1620, per HFCC, 11640 or 11645, 11710. Only 11645 has signal
into Baghdad SDR, S7/S9 music, +121/126 Hz maybe miscalibrated,
modulation breakup but shortly Arabic announcement, so it`s KOREA
NORTH VOK as scheduled per EiBi, no VIRI.

I also check the only other English, June 18, into Baghdad remote: At
1916, as Hausa is sked to 1920, 11740.182, S9/+10 open carrier with
some hum. By 1919 trace of talk just barely modulated. Let it run past
1920 and 1955, no improvement. However, other reports:

``IRAN - On June 18, from 1915+ UT, on 11740 via Kiwi SDR remote in
Cyprus; EZL instrumental music; 1917, announcers and into "
Spotlight" program in English; somewhat readable. My remote audio -

{Ron`s first 4-minute clip starts with ID ``Iran Radio broadcasting

quite informal, Americanish accents; ends with ``introduxion to

** SPAIN. 15500, 17715, 15520, 15390, Wed June 18 at 2200, token
English from SNR after accurate timesignal, in order of decreasing
strength direct. Preview topic to be some professor at a people`s?
university about ME conflict, US involvement. 2201 news starts with
day 6 of Israel/Iran war. 2211 about regime change in Iran; Trump
unpredictable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, June 18 at 2158, NO signal from VOT direct nor at
2209; at 2228 into UTwente, also no signal, nor on 11780, 11790, nor
accidentalternate 9875. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
