Hauser
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 31 at 1340: JBA 12880 is the only
one in this WOOB area: resuming at 1359, all I have time to find
before 1400* are 11440 with flutter, 11150 and 11120 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, July 31 at 0558, R. Rebelde at S9+10/20 but suptorted;
wiggle that patchcord. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. 5040 RHC
English is already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, July 31 at 1337, RHC is S4-S6 of undermodulation,
suptortion; 15140 by comparison is much better. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 13635.007, July 31 at 1330 Turkish talk, 1332 music at
S6-S9, slightly off frequency. Don`t usually hear VOT here. O, that`s
because as Ivo Ivanov reports, today it failed to switch to 9840 by
1300; ``something`s always wrong at Emirler transmitting station!``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U A E. 11830.115, July 31 at 1418, JBA carrier way off-frequency, a
sure tipoff it`s from one of our favorite skewed sites --- in this
case, NHK World Radio Japan via Al-Dhabbiya scheduled this semiihour
only in English; and gone at recheck 1439.

BTW, altho Aoki ignores such variants, it has another intriguing entry
nearby: 11828, 1330-1358, V of Turkey in Kazakh. Does not appear to be
a typo, correctly placed between 11825s and 11830s. That`s supposed to
be 11825 per EiBi. In the past, this transmission would sometimes
start late, failing to change frequency from preceding English on
15450 or 12035 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4810.1, July 31 at 0600, AM carrier amid the constant
utehashmush, not normally there. Could some broadcaster be trying to
combat it? Used to be on 4810, XERTA. Radio Logos, Perú is supposedly
active but not at this hour. Only other 4810 is AIR, Mumbai per Aoki,
Delhi per EiBi but unpropagable at this midday hour even if were on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOWR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12419.84-USB approx., July 31 at 1342, one side of 2-way
in Spanish; mentions ``toneladas``. This area is for ship stations so
could be legit; but one never hears any explicit IDs from these (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, LRA36 eQSL direct received July 29.
Filled in only date, country and name Guillermo Glenn Hauser but lots
of other station info on card including two seals and what looks like
a commemorative postal cancellation, or maybe a rubber stamp, via
http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
where it`s #97:
http://www.w4uvh.net/GUILLERMO.jpg
Frequency is first shown as ``15.476 khz AM - OC`` but below:
``Emisiones de Prueba !USB¡``, while AFAIK it has always been USB with
reduced AM carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 30 at 1348: 14850 JBA; 13835 S4-S8;
13130 S7-S9 // 13835; 13020 S5; 12880 S5; 12820 S4; 12795 JBA; 12550
S7; 11170; 11150; 11100 just in time before 1400*. 10920 open carrier
still a bit past 1400 before off too.

11170 & 11120, July 30 at 1421, these CNR1 jammers are still on JBA.

11785, July 30 at 1418, open carrier --- either CNR1 jammer against
VOA Chinese via Philippines not turned off at 1400; or CRI Chinese via
Kashgar, East Turkistan scheduled this hour but failing to modulate.

Also at 1350, steady carrier on 14745.2 as heard before but think it`s
unrelated unID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11627 & 11713, July 30 at 0034, major spurblobs at S9 out of
RHC 11670, plus & minus about 43 kHz; better readable in AM than FM
mode; also another +43 around 11756, and JBA minus 43 around 11584
JBA. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, July 30 at 0040, RHC still on here at S9 but Just
Barely Modulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11742-11777, July 30 at 1420, splatter range out of RHC
11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, July 30 at 0559, NDB PN in Ponca City is
back on the air (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF20, July 30 at 1533 UT, regional tropo enhancement
showed a Bad signal only on this open channel earlier, so I stayed on
it and by now has visiblized with stable Dr Oz show on KQCW-HD Tulsa
market; no subchannels. This is the one most likely to decode with any
enhancement. OKC RF 27 KFOR is blocked by DX as is RF 17 3ABN
translator in Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. (7275), July 30 at 0315 despite my alarm, miss checking VOT
Letterbox on final UT Thu repeat, but via WOR Hitlist I find the
podcast at
http://www.radio360.eu/podcasts/en/tr/vot/20200729_1430.mp3
Ibrahim does the sign-on, claiming it`s the 1330-1430 broadcast on
15450 while it`s really an hour earlier all summer. More features
follow until `Letterbox` starts at :19 into.

Follows up to last week about his friend in Malaysia with cancer: he
died on July 23. Letters from: Otto Schwartz, Calabash?? NC USA whose
handwriting is as bad as a doctor`s but is a very handsome guy with
very big hands, and whose picture will be put on the wall forever;
next from Michael Goeren?, Upland? California USA who had QRM from
hams on 40m band; Brian D Webb, Upper Hutt, NZ; Japan who is getting
fat for lack of exercise; and about protecting borders against PKK
terrorist group which is where I came in on the 2200 broadcast:
``Turkish nation never killed any innocent people``. Says next
`Letterbox` will be in *two* weeks time, ending at :33, into `Did You
Know That` about healing mud baths, by YL announcer also with heavy
accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18115-USB, July 30 at 1840, long ragchew about lawn care,
etc., finally ID as W7ID. The only phone station on band besides his
JBA contact, after also finding no propagation on 10, 11, 12 or 15
meters. DXMap does not show any Es MUF blob between us. QRZ.com:
``W7ID USA flag, JEFFREY P BISHOP, CALDWELL, ID 83607-8233 USA``
with his ham-bio, photos of self, magazine covers, antennas, etc.:
http://www.qrz.com/lookup/w7id
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu July 30 at
0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA here but good at UTwente Holland SDR. New WOR
2045 should be ready early UT Friday July 31 for first WRMI airing at
2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, UT Thu July 30 at 0042, Jeff White with examples of
cable TV audio when he was in a Phnom Penh hotel (why? when?) as `AWR
Wavescan` feature. Thought it might be // 5010 but too buried in
noise; should have checked 5950 which I later find scheduled // for
System G during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, eQSL sent and received at 1733 UT July
29 for my LRA36 remote reception of July 25 --- but from RAE itself,
not LRA 36: ``QSL de RAE para Glenn Hauser``. It`s very nice with 6
scenic views of different regions of Argentina, not including
Antarctica, and no mention of LRA36 by name or of Antarctica. But it
does fill in 15476, date and time. I had cc`d to RAE my report to
LRA36, so perhaps an eQSL direct from the latter is still pending. The
programmation for this was after all produced by RAE so this is not
inappropriate, maybe #259 issued as in file name, while I was honored
explicitly with #1 for RAE via WRMI in May 2017y, #85 & #86 in my
gallery, linked below. This comes from an address other than what I
used:
qslrae@logdeargentina.com.ar

Here it is, #96 at

http://www.w4uvh.net/00000259-QSL.jpg
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 29 at 1405-1410: none at all found
in the WOOB areas from 15 to 9 MHz. N & S Korea, Japan are audible.
There is a large dropoff of jamming at 1400* altho SOH and other
targets may stay on later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670 and spurblobs, July 29 at 0055-0059 from RHC, about 42
kHz intervals above and below circa 11712, 11754, 11796, 11838, trace
11880, 11923; with F# tone at least; and 11634-11627, 11586, trace
11544. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28166-CW, July 29 at 1925, beacon ``VVV XE2O/B EL05 5W``
with some repeats. Somewhat chirpy and sounds like original recording
may have been hand-keyed. Wish I had measured it as I thought it was
on the plus side of 28167, but listed by WJ5O as:
``28.166 XE2O C ALLENDE, NL, MEXICO # 5W, VERTICAL NEW 30 Aug 2010
new call 7 Aug 11`` --- Ciudad de Allende is SE of Monterrey on the
way to Montemorelos. Only station audible on the 10m band, sporadic E
but MUF way below 88 MHz. See also UNID 27455-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 13755.046, Wed July 29 at 1409, JBA talk
on typical offset of USAGM sites here, i.e. RFA Cantonese via TINIAN,
this hour only M/W/F. Both before and after this hour, CRI via
Kashgar, East Turkistan, is no doubt more precisely on 13755.00 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW, July 29 at 0606, NDB PN Ponca City is off again;
and 341-MCW, EI Enid remains off since last report (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Wed July 29 at 2230 tune-in via UTwente, VOT English
is on today and VG, even without hum, but splash from 9685 which is
the orphan CRI ``Portuguese`` service of fill-music-only, via Kashgar;
why bother? --- as `Letterbox` is concluding until 2235 with host
explaining Turkey`s official line about Kurdistan --- ``just defending
our borders`` against PKK, not all Kurds. (The trouble is, the Kurds
don`t have any official borders of their own as 4 or 5 adjacent
countries gobbled up all their territory including SE part of Turkey
where Kurds are majority.) On to next feature; IS plays at 2248-2250*.
I set alarm to catch L`box from start at next and last repeat 0315
Thursday on 7275 intruding into the North American hamband (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: missed checking Wed July 29
at 2100 on WBCQ 7490v: did anyone hear it? Next and last repeat:
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

WOR 2045 should be ready by early UT Friday July 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4736.5-4740-4743.5, July 29 at 0040, strange multitonal
sending over this range, at first almost musical but could not resolve
it with any SSB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 14745.190, July 29 at 1413, JBA signal, perhaps Sound of
Hope, listed by EiBi not here but as close at 14725.3 and 14774.7
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27455-USB, July 29 at 1922, Spanish freebander pileup,
Guatemala mentioned, as sporadic E struggles to maximize its
frequency. A good time to check for Ulis` 7th harmonic of TGAV on
28385 but still no sign of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. Bruce Churchill comments on my not getting an LRA36
eQSL yet: ``Glenn, Sometimes the LRA-36 replies are within hours, but
in my experience, it`s more like several days to possibly a month or
so. But they will reply, and that’s more than I can say for most SW
stations these days ☹… Bruce``. And Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, says:
``The staff of LRA 36 are replying all the reception report received.
It will take them several days to answer all of them.

``From the second Saturday of August, LRA 36 probably will be on air
every Saturday, 15476 USB mode, repeating the Wednesday's program
"Corazón Antártico". It has to be decided if it will be on air the two
hours of the show "Corazón Antártico", or 24 hours, with the show and
music, like the last USB transmission. On Wednesday, July 29, there
will be no program, like the past July 15 and 22, due to announcer's
holiday. Next "Corazón Antártico" program will be on air on Wednesday
August 5`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 346-MCW kHz, July 28 at 0645 UT, NDB dash and YXL, 500
watts from Sioux Lookout, Ontario; tuned to 344-USB at first but also
audible on 346.

362-MCW kHz, July 28 at 0647 UT, NDB dash and SB, 500 watts from
Greater Sudbury, Ontario; tuned to 361-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See
also USA

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey July 28 from 1334: mostly weak or even
JBA carriers except as noted: 13530 flutter; 13160; 13130; 13020;
12880; 12820 S7-S9; 12500; 12210; 11785 bigsig; 11580; 11520; 11500;

9200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. See USA: WHAS for CMHW 840

** U S A. 329-MCW kHz, July 28 at 0642 UT, NDB PMV, which is 25 watts
from Plattsmouth NE; QRM from IC 332 Wichita KS.

347-MCW kHz, July 28 at 0646 UT, NDB AFK, 25 watts from Nebraska City
NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CANADA

** U S A. 18145-USB, July 28 at 1422, Miles, barely contacting N1UGW
unheard here. Says he is in downtown St Louis so sporadic E under 500
miles.

https://www.qrz.com/lookup/ab0rj

Displays several antenna photos, also dog, motorcycle. Major if not
only phone signal on band now. Then I check CB to find it hopping with
hets, and on to the 10m beaconband:

28231-CW, July 28 at 1425, dits and WA4FC/B; alternating between dits
seem to emit gridsquare, uncopied. Only one noticed but no time to dig
deeper; however, still there at 1502 recheck. WJ5O roster:
``28.231 WA4FC I PRINCE GEORGE, VA # 5W, VERTICAL new` 29 July 08``
Previously logged in June, and got a p-mail QSL card.

28300-CW, July 28 at 2012, K6FRC/B sends nothing but callsign as also
heard before, more than his 18 milliwatts on 13565:
``28.300 K6FRC C TRACY, CALIFORNIA # 100W, "POGO stick" VERTICAL Freq
change 8 July 09`` Only one audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 840 kHz, July 28 at 0400 & 0409 UT, WHAS
Louisville KY is still on. Earlier, Chris Gay tipped the WOR iog that
WHAS had announced it would go off the air at midnight - 0400 UT - for
antenna maintenance, duration unknown. I leave a radio on 840 and
around 0415 WHAS seems gone but others say it was 0417 or 0418 so it
may have been in a fade a bit before. Then listening closely I hear
some talk in Spanish, followed by mostly music. #1 suspect is CMHW
Santa Clara, CUBA. Considerable splash ACI as if from music, but
unseems from WCCO or KOA. When aimed N/S I get a fast SAH presumably
involving KVJY in the RGV, also Spanish format, but religion. Not
rechecked until 0631 when I still hear Spanish stronger; 0634 WHAS
cuts on about iHeart Radio for a few seconds, off again. *0637 WHAS
back on again, seemingly to stay, in `C2CAM` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. On July 26, I sent my log of the Sat July 25 LRA36
special for QSL, to the address I heard announced, and quoted in my
log report, tranalra36@radionacional.com.ar --- but it bounced July
27. So I resent it to an address mentioned in previous publicity:
tranalra36@radionacional.gov --- I hope this one be correct. That one
just bounced too, immediately. WHAT is the correct one? Bruce
Churchill replied: Tranalra36@radionacional.gov.ar --- This is the
correct address``. So I try a third time: no bounce, but no reply yet
either. Trana is name of the LRA36 person (Glenn Hauser, OK, July 28,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, July 28 at *0011:46.5, RHC carrier cuts on and starts
undermodulating Spanish in less than a minute. Arnie`s official sked
claims this runs from 23 to 04 UT for Rio de Janeiro, so I have been
wondering whether there would be an overlap with REE Spain (q.v.)
which on weekdays goes off at 2304*. So I set the ATS-909 to 11669-USB
and waited for a carrier/tone to appear. No collision today, but does
it ever start on time at *2300? Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11670 is the current big spurblobber, rather than 13700 in the
mornings, likely the same transmitter. At 0020 I check for those:
circa 11633 and 11713, but not equally offset, minus 37 and plus 43.
Then I go back to the lower and find it spreads as far as 11625 =
minus 45. Almost readable listening in FM or AM modes, hum along with
the telltale F# tone above Middle C. Also JBA around 11593 but no more
on the plus side with inband QRM. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, July 28 at 0056, RHC S9+10/20 of dead air in English,
then some JBM and suptortion, while // 6145 is sufficient. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.5-WBFM, July 27 at 2112 UT, ``K-95.5, Tulsa`s New
Country`` as KWEN-FM, originally counterpart of KKNG in OKC, holds its
own against our 95.7 local tnx to tropo boost after heavy rain.
Differs slightly from WTFDA DB listing, ``K-95 FM`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday July 27 at 2203, REE with Justin Coe
introducing fusion of flamenco and jazz by Daniel García, in the
thrice-weekly English service --- this sounds very familiar, and is in
fact a re-run of the Monday July 6 broadcast.

11670, Mon July 27 at 2300, REE earworm IS post-sign-off from its
weakest frequency here, for Africa until 2304* while much stronger
off-the-back instead of -side 12030 for ME continues a bit longer.
Meanwhile only the two other frequencies for N&S America, 9690 & 11940
are still programming from 2300 with Portuguese. This is correcting
the WRTH July 20 Update which had all four frequencies for that until
2330, but typo for one of them as 2200-2230 M-F. I am really checking
whether a collision at 2300 with CUBA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 27 at 2200, VOT English is on and NSS-less; 2249
recheck IS already playing after closing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6993, July 28 at 0054, at least two JBA carriers beating
against each other. Time for another occasional log of presumed
propagation research stations in Florida. Terry Kruger sent me in
April 2016 the FCC CP and license pdf about this, but which I can no
longer find on the FCC website, under file number 0388-EX-PL-2015,
perhaps because the one-year experimental license expired on July 1,
2016 --- but if renewed perhaps with a different number. No hits on
the callsign either, WH2XWF, nor on ASTRA. Anyhow the pertinent info
then was:

Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates (ASTRA), LLC.

Station Locations
(1) Cross City (DIXIE), FL - NL 29-37-46; WL 83-06-28
(2) Hawthorne (PUTNAM), FL - NL 29-39-42; WL 81-57-26
(3) Inverness (CITRUS), FL - NL 28-47-58; WL 82-18-58
(4) Homosassa (CITRUS), FL - NL 28-44-55; WL 82-33-19
(5) Keystone (HILLSBOROUGH), FL - NL 29-50-40; WL 82-02-24

Each of them on the same four frequencies, all with 164 watts ERP:
4443, 4647, 6769, 6993 kHz. They may be running open carriers only
without IDs or anything, but too weak to be sure. Can anyone confirm
whether same ones are still going on 6993?

Closest hits on HF Underground are complaints about a carrier on 6993
QRMing a naughty pirate call on 6995 in 2016, 2017. No significant
hits on call or frequency at UDXF iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: confirmed Monday
July 27 from 1800:47.5 on IRRS via BULGARIA 7290, usual VG signal at
UTwente SDR and also usual inevitable worble from 7291 and splash from
7280 & 7300. Open carrier at tune-in 1756; a few sex before 1759 JIP
fragment of talk about pandemic; few sex before 1800 cut to IRRS
sign-on with P O Box in Milano, Feature Story News from Washington,
headlines only before WOR start. Seems running intact until recheck
just before 1830, my last few words ironically chopped off after
``when I conclude`` before I can finish ``with a standard
disclaimer``. Nevertheless, it still applies.

Also confirmed UT Tue July 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S5-S9 but JBA
direct; good at UTwente. Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE
