** CUBA [and non]. 5990, 6000, 9535, 9640, 11790, 11800, 11810, 11980,
13650, 15230, 15730, Aug 12 at 2354, all these RHC or CRI relay
frequencies are missing, and not all from same transmitter site. Still
on are: 11950 with Mesa Redonda diversion; 11760 overmodulated and
distorted mainstream music; 11670 S9+20 suptorted but no spurs; 13740
S9+10/20. Also a JBA carrier on 13650 presumably Japan. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba/RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 13 at 0054, R. Progreso back in whack with music
modulation in AM mode rather than noise blob; vs some CODAR swishes,
checked at Rochester SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2046 monitoring: confirmed Wed Aug 12 from
2100:28 on WBCQ 7490, JBA here but VG S9/+10 at Rochester NY SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thu Aug 13 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, good S6-S7 at
Rochester.

Next WOR 2047 should be ready early UT Fri Aug 14 for first airing at
2200 on WRMI 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, UT Thu Aug 13 at 0001, WRMI with Radio Emma Toc
starting their first request show, with some pulse jamming, too soon
after the Radio Libertad hour; also heard R.E.T. Tue Aug 11 closing by
2300 on 9955 --- but that`s scheduled as one hour from 2200, while
Thursday it`s 0000-0030 only. Only other time is UT Mon 0100-0200 on
9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Aug 12 at 2341, S9+20 open carrier, still at 2410 and
2427 chex, no doubt WRNO about to make a comeback after about a month
AWOL. Maybe to resume regular schedule of 0100-0400? That was direct
but after 0100 Aug 13 I`m getting no signal at Rochester (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

BRAZIL. 9630.338, Aug 11 at 0631, JBA off-frequency, no doubt R.
Aparecida; 11856v not audible now or ever any more. Also:
9664.839, Aug 11 at 0632, music S2-S4, no doubt R. Voz Missionária.
Have not heard these 31ms overnight for some time, and no 9819v.
5939.806, Aug 11 at 0635, JBA carrier in 5935 WWCR splash, but no
problem from 5945 NZ, no doubt also RVM, always off-frequency. Altho a
few other ZYs are reported active on 6, 9 and 11 MHz bands, these are
the only ones detected at this late/early hour (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. 61.26 MHz, August 12 from before 0300 UT, this site
http://www.livemeteors.com/
is live-monitoring frequency for meteor-scatter pings at the annual
peak of the Perseid shower; explains that from the Wash DC area a yagi
is aimed at Timmins, Ontario, where there still exists a full-power
analog TV station, on channel A3, video offset-plus, i.e. 100 kW
CITO-TV per W9WI.com. I have indeed heard a few pings in a few
minutes. It also warns that prolonged pings would be something else,
and from 0405 I am getting some of those which I suspect are
MS-induced sporadic E probably from same station. It seems that on the
KiwiSDR roster there are NONE tuning the FM band, or any VHF from 30
to 108 MHz. Chris Mackerell in NZ explains that those SDRs are not
designed to do so. A check of our northern sky found it clear for a
change but too much Enid light pollution and mosquitoes to watch it
very long. 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11120, Aug 12 at 1417, CNR1 jammer JBA, the only one now,
none detected WOOB in the 14s, 13s, 12s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 12 at *0029 just as I tune in via Virginia KiwiSDR,
noise blob cuts on air covering 4760-4770, evidence that this mess is
just the Radio Progreso transmitter as scheduled but totally out of
whack: no trace of program modulation. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba. It does not sound like DRM however, and the SDR does not
recognize or decode it as such; in fact, if you mash DRM you get a
roster of known DRM transmissions, maybe not the current frequency.

Hey, at this very time, Arnie should be in AM on RHC for the mit-week
[sic] edition of `DXers Unlimited`, so he could explain it! But he
won`t as he never deals with any of countless Cuban technical SNAFUs;
instead it`s all about ham DX for the last few minutes of his show.
6000 is suptorted [not ``supported`` as one editor ``corrected`` a
previous mention: I explain again that I coined that word to combine
suppressed and distorted, which is just what RHC and some other
stations provide] while 6145 is sufficient. Meanwhile 5025 Rebelde is
undermodulated but readable and not distorted. The 4765 blob is still
same around 0130, and by 0400 is off, again matching Progreso
scheduling. Mark Coady first reported this anomaly on August 9 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Aug 12 at 0052, RHC Spanish is suptorted on it #1
legacy frequency, 11800 undermodulated, and 11670 off. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Aug 12 at 0612, ORTM with good S9/+10 signal and even
good modulation, in language maybe Bambara, rooster-crow just before
today`s Bamako sunrise of 0620; no ACI from 6000 Cuba already off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Aug 12 at 1406 UT, NDB PN in Ponca City is
off; 341-MCW, EI in Enid is on now; earlier at 0623 I could not make
it out vs HSNL, but traces of OIN in KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 600 kHz, Aug 12 at 0618 UT, `Coast to Coast AM` from a
strong station and a weaker one echoing. WMT Cedar Rapids, Iowa, lost
tower during the derecho, and was reported off the air; it`s normally
dominant here, lobe aiming thisaway but does not quite make it, days.

https://600wmtradio.iheart.com/content/2020-08-11-legendary-am-600-wmt-radio-cedar-rapids-off-air-after-high-wind-storm/
The other listed C2CAM 600 affiliates in last year`s NRC AM Log are
KCOL in CO, KTBB in TX and WREC in TN, all of which could also be
heard here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6134.882, Aug 12 at 0614, JBA signal in the variable
area where could be either R. Aparecida, Brasil, or Radio Santa Cruz,
Bolivia, more likely the former altho it is sometimes on the plus side
about 6135.2; normally nonesuch at this nightpart (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** GREECE. A reply on the WOR iog to my report that VOG was missing
from 9420 early UT August 9:

``Voice of Greece could have been temporarily off the air due to some
devastating thunderstorms and flash flooding in the area of their
transmitter site located in Vathi Voiotia, Greece. The nearby island
of Evia across the straight (South Euobean Gulf) to the northeast of
their transmitter site seems to have been worse hit...
