Hauser
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, June 7 at 0551, S9-S7 ME song, nice, no
jamming, but by 0557 there is a light fast SAH, perhaps the Turkish
jammer; 0600 orchestral music and Dengê Welat ID, 0601 into news(?).
Recheck at 0635, no signals. Aoki/NDXC shows a site switch at 0600
from Issoudun, FRANCE, to PRIDNESTROVYE, so that was likely the SAH
carrier I had from a much weaker signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, June 7 at 0002, pirate song at S3-S4; 0023
seems to say ``radio hub``, and guitar strumming. 0040 another
announcement; 0051 says wife just brought him another bottle of wine,
feeling good and will keep going; faded up to S8-S9, ``Zekey`s Attic
here``. Next check 0105 is off. More reports:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,68040.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, June 7 at 0042, hard rock, S6-S7, 0048
``X-FM Shortwave``; 0055 DJ acknowledging reports, e-mail from Brandon
in Pennsylvania; someone in Columbus, Ohio; also posts on HF
Underground; X-FM relayed by Mix. Reports to XFMshortwave@gmail.com or
phone 408-800-6925 for E- or P-QSLs if there is sufficient detail to
verify; 0059 TC for ``one in front of one``, ID, ``east of the
Rockies, west of Normal``. Still going at 0120. More reports, many
with great reception:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,68039.0.html
AC 408 is Santa Clara county area, California, unlikely to be QTH with
the good signals back east (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 11620, June 7 at 0602, news in French all about Africa,
first especially Libya; altho fluent, the speakers seem not with the
pristine Parisian accent, perhaps African-influenced. Aoki/NDXC shows
this semihour is BBC via AUSTRIA, and gone at 0635 recheck. There is
also a LAH, from? Only otherthing sked at this hour is CNR5, Beijing
site; would not expect either to be off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 18131.778-USB, June 6 at 2049, W7YO is the OPSOB (only phone
station on band), Glenn running 100 watts from the 4-corners area,
leisurely contact with unheard AA3PM(?) discussing antennas,
equipment. Still there at 2124 on the other receiver when measured.
QRZ.com lookup: ``W7YO USA, GLENN M GURNEY, BLANDING, UT 84511``.

There is also some CW just above 21 MHz, but no phone audible on
``15`` meters, and nothing on 12 or 10. HF sporadic E opening.

I am paying close attention to MUFs as monitored and as on the 6m DX
MAPs. Once in a while it pokes above 88 MHz, but in the wrong places,
not enough for any FM DX to skip into here. We are around the nominal
peak of the summer Es season, but it`s been very disappointing so far;
indeed nothing since the surprise early opening in mid-April (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2037 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday June 7 at 0300 on WRMI 5800, VG at TWR Dominican Republic SDR.

Also confirmed at 0353 UT Sun June 7 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, noisy via
Chicago SDR, at the midpoint so started circa 0339. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15809.977, June 6 at 2138, very weak and fading carrier,
some JB modulation? rock music at peaks, and Ted? Must be the seldom
activated WTWW-3. Still past 2144+. Similar signal to 15825 WWCR,
neither getting any sporadic-E boost over this path despite lots of HF
MUFs around the continent. It seems the last times I logged this were
August 18-19, 2018, offset at .938 and .930.

5085, WTWW-2 is on and arriving this early at 2140 much better with
woman`s voice not //, presumably some ham show this Saturday. The
other possible WTWW frequencies, 9930, 9475 and 5830 are all silent,
and probably 12105 if I could have remembered it.

By 0100 June 7, only 5085 heard with quotation from Exodus, ID and
rock music, distorted on S9+30/40 signal.

15810, June 7 at 1839, JJBBA carrier, even weaker than 15825 WWCR, but
suspect WTWW-3 on again; however by 1850 nothing to be heard via
several remotes in different direxions at greater distances.

Once again there is plenty of HF Es around the USA, but not over the
TN/OK path. High MUF spots into the 90s are scattered, either too far
or to close over here; nada on an FM bandscan at 1800-1814 UT
concentrating on 88-98 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 7 at 0627, ``island music``, must be the third
harmonic of RV, 3 x 3945 as has been erupting now for weeks and often
reported by Ron Howard. First time I`ve heard it since it`s now coming
on an hour earlier at *0600 before my too-late-already bedtime. RV
keeps changing frequency/times, so get it while we can.

Also a JBA carrier on 7890 = 2 x 3945. I measure it on 11835.000, but
Ron`s recent recording has a low het upon it; China being the
co-channel but they are normally spot-on. At 0630 there is a
sounder/drumming, and talk, not sure of language but intonation sounds
French; Ron reported on June 6 and says the same was on June 7 at this
time:

``0630-0644: "Half past five"; "Press Release," with very detailed
information about applying for an interest free loan from the Cyclone
Harold Vanuatu National Provincial Fund, given in French, Bislama and
English; followed in English with message from school Principal Fred
Ottman, about the Aore Adventist Academy being relocated and giving
students detailed instructions for the move. Good number of IDs
("Radio Vanuatu, Vois Blong Yumi"); some light China QRM and a slight
het.
My audio of French, at http://bit.ly/30eYzVl
My audio of English, at http://bit.ly/2XB5xCg .``

Here it`s S4-S7, so hard to believe this be an accidental harmonic.
Station is aware of these and was supposedly going to fix them, but we
hope they don`t! Tnx to our summer, 25m is hopping with other signals,
but NZ has already dropped to 50m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ZAMBIA. 11680, Sun June 7 at 0615, AWR Wavescan is coming in quite
well via VOHA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1942 UT June 7

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, June 6 at 1341: 14900 is S7-S9.

At 1346-1353, at least JBA carriers on relevant frequencies, some
strong: 13530, 13160, 12880 S9+10, 11460 > 11440, 11170, 11150, 10960,
10920, 10820.

At 1434, 9300, Chinese at S4-S5, this frequency not listed by Aoki or
EiBi for jammers or anything anywhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13765, 13637, 13572, 13508 approx., but not 13830, June 6 at
1343, RHC spurs from 13700, extremely distorted but recognizable in
AM, with F# tone. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 7780, 9395,
9455, 9955, Sat June 6 at 1439, all these WRMI frequencies are on,
wildly divergent strengths, the all-out live Sabbathday service of
Brother HyStairical extending hours of some transmitters, 5010 also
listed for TOMBS until 1600 Sats, not checked and probably inaudible.
15770 also on but stix with SMTV; and JBA 21525 Radio Africa (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2037 monitoring: NOT confirmed,
Saturday June 6 at 1130 on WRMI, 9955, tho still on their sked. Tnx to
Richard Langley, NB, who also checked it as I hoped to be asleep, says
it`s again Jack Van Impe (deceased), like last week.

15770, Sat June 6 at 1314, WRMI is JBA but traces sound like me.

After 1600 Sat June 6, WOR 2037 confirmed on WRN webcast. Next:

** U S A. 17775-, June 6 at 1456, KVOH is on, and propagating S9+10
with prélude/IS and ID, 1500 another ID and sign-on; 1501.3 starts
`Wavescan` #589 for release June 7; first feature is about West
Bengal, land of White Tigers; we already got the script and published
it in WOR iog, since it was mislabeled as for May 31, #588 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1520, June 6 at 0538 UT, the KYND Cypress TX barker can
again be heard mixing with KOKC; how brazen --- how futile. 25 kW
daytimer with no business and no authority at night.

1540v, June 6 at 0539 UT, LAH, of course from off-frequency-minus KGBC
Galveston; last night I checked here, there was no het; intermittent.

1560, June 6 at 0540 UT, bits of Vietnamese in the mix, i.e. KGOW
Bellaire TX also in the Houston market,
http://vietradio.com/ --- beware, audio autolaunches without
permission; but no longer dominant here on 1560. Perhaps have finally
reverted to 15 kW licensed night pattern, totally SE into the Gulf.

FCC AM Query shows a *nine*-tower direxional array peaking at 145
degrees,
https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/1325314-108410.pdf
i.e. aiming for the Vietnamese communities upon oil platforms,
Yucatán, Central America, across South America: Colombia/Ecuador,
Iquitos, Bolivia, Paraguay/Uruguay borders with Argentina/RGS; vs
plenty of other 1560s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. June 6 at 1435, local scratch-noise blobs cutting in and
out circa 9208-9239, 7730-7790 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 15130, June 5 at 1353, two Chinese mixing: CNR1
jammer and VOA via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, this hour only (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 13650, June 5 at 1314, two equal stations in Chinese,
partially music, a low-audible-heterodyne apart. In this case it`s not
jamming but double-Commie incompetence, per Aoki/NDXC, this hour both
Voice of KOREA [NORTH] in Chinese, and CRI in Chinese via Urumqi, EAST
TURKISTAN, land of imprisoning and brainwashing Uighurs (which of
course the Juche jackasses also impose on their own people) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammers, June 5 at 1355-: 11440 S8-S9, 11150 S3-S5,
11100, 10920, 10870.

At 1359 a hasty scan above and below 13000 finds only 12880 in music.

At 1416, 11460 at S7-S9; 11580 S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 13650, June 5 at 2315-2357*, CRI Portuguese service
via CUBA is nothing but nice instrumental Chinese music (NOT raucous
Firedragon), to accompany my nap; cuts off without any announcement.
They used to sign-on in Portuguese before defaulting to music, still?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, June 5 at 0613, S4-S5 of dead air vs CODAR; obviously
RHC 2 x 6100 also with dead air in English at S9+30/40. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 11510, June 5 at 1358, JBA carrier during CNR1
jammer search, but per Aoki/NDXC, only thing anywhen on 11510 is Radio
Free North Korea at 13-14 via UZBEKISTAN. Or as in WRTH, Free North
Korea Radio; and allegedly jammed. The userlist version of Aoki does
not explain what * means, but apparently applied to jamming only by
China as not upon Martí frequencies either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 9955, Friday June 5 at 1406, WRMI-3 is still on with
Freedom Synergy Radio, anti-PRC discussion in English. Original
publicity for this said it would be on at 1400 via webcast but not SW;
forgot to turn it off? Has anyone ever heard FSR in Spanish, also per
original notice? Blalock the Blaster will impossiblize this on Sat &
Sun, truly sked on 9955 until 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 11570, June 5 at 1358, music unlike the CNR1 jammers
being surveyed, 1400 still on open carrier S4-S7. Listed 12-14 is RFA
Tibetan via KUWAIT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 5 at 2225, VOT fair S4-S7 with music, no RTTY
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2037 monitoring: confirmed first
NAm broadcast, Friday June 5 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, good via TWR SDRs
both in Bonaire (er, ``Caribbean Netherlands``), and Dominican
Republic, no jamming audible; at 2225 check direct to OK, only S4-S6,
very poor.

Also confirmed UT Sat June 6 at 0130 on WRMIs, audible on all three in
decreasing strength order from VG to fair: at Bonaire, 5010 > 5850 >
7780; at Alexandria VA, 5850 > 5010 > 7780. Next:

Would those awake at 1130 Saturday please confirm whether WOR be on
WRMI 9955, as it was not last week tho still scheduled; direct, remote
receiver, or webcast will suffice. Tnx.

** U S A. 7490v // 6160v // 5130v, UT Sat June 6, WBCQ cuts off FKB
gospel huxter --- does that stand for Father Knows Best? --- before he
can sign off with wrong WINB frequency, starting `William Tell
Overture` promptly for `AAAWWW`; final interjexion sounds like
``Klondike`` --- OKaayy. Initial topix are black flies (again),
mosquitoes, ice cream and air conditioning, subjects which do not
really draw me in, so will anticipate John Carver`s full report:

``Tonight's show started on time on 5130, 6160 and 7490. Allan and
Angela in the studio. Opening talk about black flies, Klondike Bars
and mosquitoes. Phone call at 0010 from Andy talking about ice cream
and air conditioning in cars.

Allan reads an email congratulating them on the wonderful music
special that they ran last night on three frequencies. Then came the
obligatory comments about how beautiful Angela is.

Phone call at 0024 about transmitters and monitoring radio usage by
reading the local oscillator signals. He also commented on the better
reception of 7490 this evening. Allan stated that they had increased
power on all the classic transmitters and replaced several tubes and
spent a lot of money in doing so and said he'd probably spend more
money on them before they go back to Fla.

He also said that he and Angela and Tom and another crew member had
fixed the tube ring on the big transmitter on Monday of this week. He
posted a picture of the ring on twitter today. Said it was about the
thickness of a paper towel and cost four thousand dollars. He is not
impressed with the ring or that system. They are running the
transmitter at slightly lower power for awhile at his command.

The plumbing job he talked of a couple of weeks ago started leaking
again. He said it was a Chinese coupler that gave out. He went to the
store and bought more supplies and did it all over again.

Then talk about a letter they received complaining about the Hal
Turner show. He said it was a very nice letter and they answered as
usual by saying they would do nothing to censor Hal Turner and if the
writer was concerned they should write directly to Hal Turner.

Reading of emails at 0053 and closing prayer at 0057. Show was off the
air at 0100 and 5130 signed off the air at that time instead of
continuing with the Hal Turner show as they've been doing recently.
John, Mid-North Indiana``

I do take the trouble to measure the frequencies at 0018, all of which
are wavering slightly --- is it something about the AC power supply in
Monticello causing that? 7489.965v, 6159.894v, 5129.979v (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, June 5 at 0604, dead air from WWCR-4 despite TOMBS
having bought out the transmitter; it`s committed to a certain amount
of dead air anyway. Who needs it? TOMBS is blaring away with equally
VG signal on 5850 WRMI-12, and modulated to boot, among others (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9110-9170, 9485-9510, 9845-9875, June 5 at 1401, local
sporadic scratchy noise blobs peaking roughly in center of these
ranges.

10205-10225, 10560-10590, 10920-10950, June 5 at 1408, more of them
audible up to 11 MHz, all at roughly/average 360-kHz intervals (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11494-USB, June 5 at 1355, 2-way in English, JBA with
uteblaaps. In UDXF iog several recent logs here from USCG Cutters
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9665.067, June 4 at 0603, JBA music, presumed RVM, always
off-frequency but much weaker than it can be. The only ZY I am
detecting on 31m overnight. And hardly any left on the other bands.

We have lost *so many* SW stations, especially from this huge country
which not long ago had a thriving domestic SW scene. Here are the SW
frequency pages from the 2005 World Radio TV Handbook, only a
sesquidecade ago. How many do you recognize or remember hearing?

** U K [non]. 12015, June 4 at 0607, fair in English news about
democratic movement in China, national-anthem law, Hong Kong; COVID-19

** U S A. 5130, June 5 at 0150, 0159, 0202 chex, NO signal from this
WBCQ, when `The Big Broadcast of 2020` is supposed to be repeating
triply. I had lamented that the original airing a few weeks ago on
7490 and only in the daytime at 2100 UT would peter out long before it
got to OK, so Bill Tilford got this nighttime playback scheduled. 5130
however does eventually come on, by next check 0223. At the outset I
also have a JBA carrier on 3265.1, which could be the other `BCQ, but
not committed to carry this.

Meanwhile, the BBC does start at 0200 on 7490 and 6159.9v following
the far right nonsense from Hal Turner. I don`t need to listen now
since I heard it the first time via webcast, but I hope others are
getting it better now than I am, with too much storm noise from the SW
corner of KS and the SW quadrant of OK.

I notice immediately that they are not synchronized: 6159.9 is a word
ahead of 7490, and 5130 is a few words behind 7490. By 0223 all three
register S9/+10 on the meter, and 7490 suffers the least storm noise,
5130 the most as to be expected. Now if this were only on 9330 instead
of the wacko flat-earthers, would be loud and clear. Too bad the deal
with WLC did not allow for WBCQ`s own programming to take over on
special occasions or for a few hours per week. It`s the least they
could do for causing Allan so much grief to keep it running (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7703 approx., June 4 at 0555, local scratch noise blob
peaking here and elsewhere is still/again on. And circa 1400, when an
OG&E maintenance truck is spotted next to my closest pole, the one
with the automatic streetlight circa sundown, but soon gone and no
change yet in the problem.

7703 et al., gone again at 0121 check June 5, clearing the bands for
unfettered storm noise (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 13070 & 12880, June 3 at 1358, CNR1 jammers with
song, about to go off.

>From 1433 June 3, a bunch more for this hour, some with // audio,
others carriers only and presumed: 13160 S4-S8, 12820, 12800, 12190.

At 1437, 11580, 11460, 11440, 11170, 11150, 11100, 11070 S9-S6, 10920,

At 1455, 12210, 12450?

11370, June 3 at 1439, JBA carrier presumed rather new local mix of
1390 KCRC + 9980 WWCR TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Wed June 3 at 2200-2230, REE English monitored for
convenience via UTwente SDR, much better there than 9690: second
program in revived series is nothing but Allison Hughes narrating,
with some musical relief, a detailed review of how the pandemic has
affected Spain, finished just in time, ``hasta pronto`` for the 2230
timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring: confirmed Wed June 3 from
2100:20 on WBCQ 7490v, VP. Next, and last repeat:

0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

New WOR 2037 should be ready by early UT Friday June 5 for first WRMI
broadcast at 2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, June 3 at 2051, 9955 WRMI is already on instead of
*2100, with screaming gospel huxter, Blalock the Blaster as the `Full
Gospel Hour` [sic] is now scheduled M-F at *2030.

15770, June 3 at 2057, on WRMI good signal, Bob Biermann musing,
upwrapping HIS `Your Weekend Show` as far as you can get from a
weekend, on Wednesday! So much for R. Tirana relay at 2030: in fact, I
see on the skedgrid that it and preceding Prague at 2000 are now
relegated to Mon & Tue only, obviously dispensable for other
programming the rest of week. 2100 into TOMBS.

7780, June 3 at 2100, no signal detectable from WRMI-1, off? JBA
carriers are on lower 5950 & 5800.

9395, June 3 at 2102, WRMI relay of RAE in Italian as scheduled, but
will it be octolingual by hourend? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Correxion: of the three 1270 stations, one of them is
non-direxional, KSCB, fixed:

1270, June 2 at 2014 UT, in full daytime conditions, KRXO Claremore
(Tulsa) OK silly sports talk at 5 kW with heavy SAH of exactly 1 Hz
from another groundwaver: got to be either 50 kW KFLC from Benbrook
(Metroplex) TX with Spanish sports talk; or 5 kW KSCB Liberal KS
talk/sport. KRXO and KFLC direxional to complicate. Need to DF and/or
pull a language.

Which I undertake 24+ hours later, June 3 at 2039 UT; on the same
setup, R75 and E-W longwire, now the subaudible heterodyne is only
47/minute or 0.78 Hz, so one or both must vary over time.

Then at 2045, I try the DX-398 portable outside, which has good
sensitivity and nulling: The main SAH peaks ESE/WNW, i.e. Claremore
and Liberal which are a few degrees from colinear, opposite direxions
thru Enid. At 2048, I count the SAH at 50/minute = 0.83 Hz --- really
varying, or margin of error?

But almost-nulling those, favoring SSW, I hear another weaker beat, of
154/minute = 2.57 Hz, and that has to be from KFLC in TX, against one
of the others.

Next at 2053 I try the NRD-545 with E-W magloop. This pulls in two
audios, both English AFAICT, and the beat is 49/minute = 0.82 Hz.

I cannot measure frequencies to fraxions of Hz, but only *compare*
those which are not zero-beat --- and lax engineering of US stations
insures that is: most of them.

Two of these stations make mwoffsets list, only a year or two old:
1270 1269.9985 USA KRXO (Claremore, OK) 2018-12-01
1270 1270.0006 USA KFLC (Fort Worth, TX) 2019-01-03
That means the SAH between them would be 2.1 Hz, not too far from my
current reading.

Distances, city-to-Enid city:
Claremore OK 203 km = 126 stmi
Liberal KS 281 km = 174 stmi
Benbrook TX 415 km = 258 stmi

Ground conductivity is mostly 30 over this part of OK, the greatest to
be found anywhere overland, maybe into 15 by BB TX. Tulsa itself may
be 15, but only 8 in a small area west of Tulsa between us --- 8 is
the same poor figure as across the MO/AR Ozarx.

Direxionality: 5 kW KRXO favors ENE/WSW with minor lobe at right
angle, but Enid appears to be close to a notch between them. 50 kW
KFLC aims major lobe to the east but fairly broad with some daytime
signal thisaway; 5 kW KSCB non-direxional.

This is an example of *pure DXing* as we have no interest whatsoever
in these stations` stupid sportstalk programming, whatever the
language. And no ionosphere required! (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9025, June 3 at 1445, open carrier (WOOB CNR1 jammers
are always(?) on -0 frequencies) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10930 approx., June 3 at 1444, local noise blob outlier,
along with stronger usual peak areas in 9-11 MHz span (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13131.31, June 3 at 1400, very weak ``puta madre`` 2-way
in Spanish; must have a fine sense of symmetry (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
