** OKLAHOMA. 27185.085 approx. AM, July 20 at 1438, Enid CB pirate S9+30 with loop? of hard rock music and mention of Walgreen`s - I quickly scan local FM band for a match, not 105.5 or anything else. Digging deeper at 1442, but it`s off. Was not on a second or third //, and maybe different than the one I had been hearing which was always on the minus side of 27185 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.009, Sat July 20 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, S9+45 into UTwente, but QRM from OTH radar for the first time heard here, range approx. 11783-11808, in the clear on 11790 & 11795, but not such a problem to ROMANIA 11800 which is even stronger S9+50. That stops maybe 10 minutes later. 2215 sounder and ``the news continues``. 2218 `The Energy Agenda` repeat about impact of Russia/Ukraine war. 2224 music. 2228 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2230 music. 2239 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`` repeat about Van breakfasts. 2242 music. 2245 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, 2245 music, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2252 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT Saturday July 20 at 0400 on WTWW 5085: had been usual VG signal direct, but at exact moment WOR should start, cut off the air! George McClintock explains: ``power failure``. Did not resume before 0430. Confirmed Saturday July 20 at 1450 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.000, S7/S8 into UTwente. Also confirmed Saturday July 20 at 1730 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.000 at S9 and 3975.003, S9/+5 into UTwente. Also confirmed Saturday July 20 at 1930 on WRMI webcast only, and WRN North America stream. Also confirmed Saturday July 20 at 2000 on WRN Europe stream. Also confirmed Saturday July 21 from 2001 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+16 into nearby SDR. Next: 2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475; 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500]; 1900 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW [irregular]; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

Does their program sked show it? Of course, not! Supposedly TOMBS. Elsewhen there is one with a Spanish name and two in English labeled (Spanish) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [and non]. 15595, Sat July 20 at 0635, RCC `news` concerning Africa; surprised to hear English here. Per EiBi at 0630-0645 Saturdays only to ME. Convoluted multi-ling sked shows other English: Friday 1130-1200; daily 1615-1630. As usual one of the SSOB at S5/S7 direct, exceeded only by 15770 Slovakia Spanish via WRMI, S7/S8; and equivalent to 15505, Ndarason via Woofferton (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2250 UT July 20

** CANADA. 14670 RCUSB, July 19 at 1639, no signal from CHU at local range into Ottawa KiwiSDR, while 3330 & 7850 are locally strong. Some time July 18 tuning across direct, I had noticed it missing. As Karl Zuk points out, their ``system status`` https://nrc.canada.ca/en/chu-short-wave-station/ concedes ``14.670 MHz: offline since [2024-07-16 at 21:00 UTC]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, July 19 at 0658, S9+40 of dead air from R. Rebelde: something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PANAMA. 28160 CW, July 18 at 2204, VVV DE HP1RIS/B plus a lot more letters uncopied, JBA fading out and could not copy for sure every letter in call, but most of them matching this WGB entry: ``28159.5 HP1RIS/B - Panama City PNR FJ09ga - #0 (21 Jan 2023) Note: pwr 5w`` And QRZ.com: ``HP1RIS Panama flag Panama, Ricardo I Schwarz, P.O.Box: 0835-00515 Panama, Rep. de Panama, Centro America. QSL: E-QSL or Direct - HP1RIS/B, 10 meter beacon, 28.159.5 mhz, 1/4 wave whip, 5 watts`` --- Hardly anything else on band except an unID beacon on 28282 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Make all those: Panamá ** SPAIN. 17855, July 19 at 2200, token English from REE, S9+20/30 direct and also audible on the other three. One preview topic to be about ME athletes in the Olympix. Lead news item, global Microsoft outage; *rump speech. At 2224 listening S7/S9 via Bonaire SDR, sports interview by Lebanon correspondent, 2228 bit of music fill resulting from a `Bogotá` festival yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.020-, Fri July 19 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS and English IDs, S9+10/20 direct but not enough to overcome line noise level. 2223 into Bonaire SDR, song at S9/+10 but considerable 11780 ACI; S9+40/45 into UTwente. At 2229 when measured, `Weekly Analysis` about Ukraine war, nuke threat, NATO etc. 2235 `with-you-every-hour` promo, song. 2240 `Turkish Folk Tales` about a bottomless peat, and a sultan. 2248 TRTVOTWorld.com promo, music. 2254 s/off ignoring SW, few sex of IS before 2255* chop, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7633.5 USB, July 19 at 0702, ``MARS Radio``, with tones, brief contacts, ``BFJQ`` fonetikaly. AF MARS logged previously long ago here, in 2008y, 2014y. Strange they would be active in the nightmiddle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2252 monitoring: confirmed Friday July 19 at 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.9945 kHz, S9+5 into UTwente across Europe. Also confirmed Friday July 19 at 2030 on WRMI webcast-only. Also confirmed Friday July 19 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct but noisy; at 2222, S7/S9 and noisy into Bonaire SDR. Also confirmed Friday July 19 at 2230 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.004, S9+5/10 into UTwente.

Thanks this week to Tony Pavick, Hope BC, Canada, for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute via MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085 & 9475: ``WTWW: FIRE --- WTWW had an arc that caused a fire and the loss of a power card and control card. No effect on transmitter power. Inline image -- George McClintock 7-19-2024`` at 0542 UT (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9955, July 19 at 0652, WRMI again on late, not with RFI Spanish but MEish chanting, almost Qur`anish; this has happened before as if deliberately scheduled as such contrary to websked. Still overshadows VANUATU on 9960 until 0659 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7490 -69 Hz = 7489.931, July 20 at 0000, WBCQ, S9/+10 into NH SDR with `AAAWWW`, not disclaimed as a replay, but obviously is last week`s when he started talking about toilets: never mind. Then, he was ``trimulcasting`` and said so, and I bet that`s still on this playback despite 3265+ and 5130- being off the air now; while as usual 6160 had TOMBS before 2400 and still some gospelhuxter into the new day; so, monalcasting? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, July 19 at 0650, no sign of WMLK, while 19m is not totally dead of all signals. There they go again; we`ll never know what DEJOM would have said, but I am sure it were stale (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1120, July 19 at 0713-0716+ UT, S9+35 of dead air, obviously KMOX St Louis - even such a major outlet can fail like this; if not some required testage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0320 UT July 20

** CUBA. 15140, July 18 at 1915 and still 1943 chex, RHC English S8/S9, not off the air but modulation continually breaking up, unlistenable. Wiggle that patchcord? Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:
``Cuba, Three Years After the 11-J Demonstrations --- Three years after the public protests of July 11, 2021, it is important to understand the significance of that day, and where we are now. Juan Antonio Blanco, Miami 15 Jul 2024 - 19:35 CEST [caption:] A corner in El Vedado, and a problematic date for the Cuban authorities. Three years after the events of July 11, 2021 (11-J), it is important to realize what the significance of that day was, and where we are now. The import of the national uprising in 2021 is that it revealed that most of the population rejected a failed and repressive regime, and that the idea that the Cuban people were living happily was a fallacy manufactured and exported to the world. And the great lesson reiterated on that July 11 is that nothing can be secured from a dictatorship without standing up to it. . .`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1721064951_56026.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4750, July 18 at 0643, starting my 60m bandscan here, just as CODAR pauses for Morse Code ID, twice, too fast for me to copy, but has been IDed and fully discussed before. So this merely reconfirms that IDs fire at :03, :23 and :43 past the hours. Like CODAR swirshing, the code is not confined to any exact frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2251 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday July 18 at 0147 the 0130 on WRMI 5010, JBA direct; S7/S9 with HSNL into Maryland SDR; S9+5/12 into Bonaire SDR, and BTW much stronger than WRMI 9955 also aimed thataway. Also confirmed Thursday July 18 at 1630 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001-, S7/S9 into UTwente. WORLD OF RADIO 2252 contents: (Armenia), (Brasil), China, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, Europe, Finland, Germany, Japan, México, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, (Philippines), Russia, (São Tomé), (Tinian), UK and non, USA and non, (Uzbekistan); unID 4740; propagation outlook - (Countries mentioned along with others not in order.

As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this week to Tony Pavick, Hope BC, Canada, for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com with a Note from Anthony Gerard Pavick: ``Hi Glenn, Been meaning to send a donation for weeks now. Finally getting around to it. Thanks for including tidbits from me in the show. Actually, you and I go back a way. I first discovered you back in the 1970s and contributed to a print journal you published. Then in the mid 70s I moved from Pennsylvania and my DXing came to a halt. In the 90s I picked it up again, and actually had a Philips DC-777 SW receiver in my car. It was a joy to listen to the BBC, R Moscow, R Luxembourg, etc. as I drove around Pennsylvania. But as we all know, things began to fade away to what they are today. Nonetheless, I am happy to be back at it, tracking down what there is as well as presenting Pop Shop Radio. Never dreamed as a kid that I'd someday be on shortwave`` One may also contribute via MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re World`s Last Chance Radio on WBCQ 9330: On Wed, Jul 17, 2024, Glenn Hauser wrote: ```Is Allan Weiner, a ``man of science``, secretly snickering at his benefactors stemming from an Egyptian cosmetics tycoon? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``` Bill Tilford, IN, replies: ``Or is said Egyptian tycoon secretly snickering at the inhabitants of the US for failing to put anything saner on the air with the same signal strength? Yeah, the joke's on someone, but on whom, by whom?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, July 18 at 0645, WMLK gone again, not even a JBA carrier, while there are various weak signals on 19m and WRMI remains S9+ in Spanish on 15770. At 1738 July 18, 9275 is also gone again, zero sig into Maine SDR. Very unreliable; you never know whether will be on air or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2252) ** U S A. Following up on the 1650 kHz UNIDENTIFIED tone overnight: I`ve been listening on remotes from 0345 past 0500 UT July 18: only one Kiwi near LA, not in LA itself, useless. One San Diego NG, another good and also the Pahrump, NV one - both getting mixture of Korean from KFOX, and Spanish sports, i.e. El Paso, KSVE with TUDN network. At 0459, KFOX ID in English, ``AM 1650, southern California`s #1 Korean language radio station``, a few words of Korean, and 0500 the tone hits --- but the Spanish is gone and by 0505 am still hearing Korean. Then check the nearest remote to El Paso, T or C NM, and it`s getting ONLY the tone. That concludes it`s KSVE! There is also a SAH of about 2 Hz on the tone. BTW both licensed underpowered at night: KSVE 850 watts, KFOX 490 watts. At 0638 UT July 18 I DF it easily on the DX-398 as WSW/ENE. That fits for El Paso. Should have done that in the first place. Also note Vance says it`s a local signal for him, so sticking with KSVE. El Paso is also closer to Walt`s 130-degree bearing from BC, than KFOX or anything else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2252) {other recent posts on IRCA:} ``Glenn, Further to the posts re this originally on MWOffsets, the conclusion back in May was that KFOX was the source. I still hear the heterodyne beat occasionally when scanning across the X-Band down here in the South Pacific. Best 73, Bryan`` Clark, New Zealand ``Bryan, OK, that seems likely, but from mwoffsets it is not very clear how you and Tony finally confirmed that. Seems all circumstantial. Niven doesn`t get it from the south in TX; calculated 2 Hz low at center? but mwoffsets as of Jan had KFOX only 0.1 Hz low. Was there ever any kind of ID or local clue? Local quality signal in Los Angeles area? Triangulation? KFOX admits it when contacted? TDOA? Strange that everyone refers to them as spurs or het rather than a tone - at a certain pitch. BTW if it were modulating speech it would be in Korean. One might hear the transition at 05 or 12 UT. Glenn`` {The mwoffsets iog thread searching on KFOX:} ``1650 AM transmitter spurs KFOX confirmed as the culprit for these side carriers. By Tony Ward · #957 · May 23 1650 AM transmitter spurs KFOX confirmed as the culprit for these side carriers. By Bryan Clark · #956 · May 22 1650 AM transmitter spurs Probably KFOX has side carriers about there: Walter Salmaniw via groups.io kirjoitti 22.5.2024 klo 13.13: By Mauno_Ritola · #955 · May 22 1650 AM transmitter spurs Centre point for these is 1649.998, so perhaps KFOX or CINA have a transmitter of transmission issue? By Bryan Clark · #950 · May 21`` ``Searching on 1650 I also found: Someone near CINA ruled that out by offset. Another item from Niven, he was getting it aiming west. Walt`s 130 bearing is rough, not DFing by nulling 90 degrees off, and 130 hits the AZ/NM/CO/UT Four Corners - not too far from Denverish. 73, Glenn`` Re Tone on 1650 overnight, John Johnson, Jul 17 #41947: ``I’ve been trying to figure out the 1650 tone for many months now. It’s a daily thing. Pretty strong tone here. This morning 05:00 UTC the tone came on like you mentioned. At that time, I was also hearing KBJD and KSVE both with clear IDs. Then at 12:00 UTC similar, but this time KFOX was strong over the tone. KBJD, KSVE, and KFOX are all regulars into Phoenix, Arizona. Hopefully, someone can determine the station sending the tone. 73, John C. Johnson, Mesa, AZ 85212-2923, www.johninarizona.com, Perseus SDR, SDRplay RSPduo, Icom IC-R75, Wellbrook ALA 1530LNP`` John Johnson, 3:29pm #41962: ``Glenn, I heard KSVE with programming and ID and the tone comes up with them still there. I've heard KFOX, KSVE, and KBJD all while tone starts. Not any of those 3. 73, John`` Robert Vance, 10:55am #41958: ``Good Morning; This is what I'm getting now. I also tuned it with an SDRDuo in diversity mode and nothing else was heard on 1650 once I nulled it. I had presumed this to be local KSVE, without giving it a second thought. I hope this helps. 73's Robert Vance - El Paso, TX`` Robert Vance, 12:03pm #41959: ``As an update to what I posted earlier, at 1200Z, the tones were replaced by TuDN Radio programming. 73's Robert Vance, El Paso, TX`` Joseph Miller, 8:01am #41957: ``Thank you Glenn and John, From my location between LA and Palm Springs, I heard the tone at 7:10 utc sometimes over sometimes under KFOX in LA. I haven’t looked up the KSVE’s nighttime pattern but I suspect it may have a lobe to the west. (I can not get the patterns anymore from the FCC website :( ) Thanks again! 73 Joe Miller, Hemet CA`` It`s licensed as U1 = non-direxional day and night, like all US and Canadians on 1650. A few X-banders on the coasts get to be direxional - and Enid`s 1640 to SSE in order to blast into OKC, which makes it rarely heard in Europe or S Pacific, but should be enhanced into Latin America (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0122 UT July 19

** CHINA. 16100, July 17 at 2211, Chinese at S5/S7; also JBA on 15920; and at 2216, JBA carrier on 18965, weaker one on 18985. All of which likely attributable to CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope. I`ve heard the two 18s before but neither in EiBi nor Aoki, rather 18970. They do agree on 16100 & 15920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Wed July 17 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG S9+10/20 direct, preview report about some festival; 2201.5 news starting with calls for media transparency to perfect democracy in congress; 2205 something about Gibraltar, considered ``Spanish`` by some, negotiations with UKQOGBANI. Then interview with Daniela about a theatrical festival, July 4-28, but I can`t catch the name of it, like Armando? Other three frequencies on and audible; none missing lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 11785.019, July 17 at 2200 NO signal direct from VOT English; while 11800 ROMANIA is quite audible. Nor at further chex 2202, 2243 when not measurable. Didn`t even try UTwente. At 2202 also nothing on possible/previous alternates 11795, 9875. How about transposing to 11875? At 2213 there is a JBA signal there: EiBi shows that would be AWR Vietnamese via Madagascar. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2251 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday July 17 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.000+, S9+5/10 into UTwente; and a few sex delayed on 3975.003, S9/+10. Also confirmed Wednesday July 17 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -73 Hz = 7489.927, S6/S8 and noisy into Maryland SDR. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

Thanks this week for a generous contribution from William T Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, by check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, July 17 at 0642, tuning across World`s Last Chance Radio via WBCQ, another flat-earth lesson. Guy is explaining how there can`t be any satellites orbiting, because, well, the earth is flat! Most satellite dishes, he says, are not pointing straight up, after all, and are really picking up terrestrial signals. With a straight face?! Of course, many satellites in geosynchronous orbits are closer to the horizon. And they could only be ``straight up`` from an equatorial angle, duh. Is Allan Weiner, a ``man of science``, secretly snickering at his benefactors stemming from an Egyptian cosmetics tycoon? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1650.42 & 1649.58 approx., July 17 at 0654 UT, there it is again, somestation with a tone of ~420 Hz astride other 1650 signals, mainly KCNZ Iowa. Earlier reports, probably on mwoffsets list: [May 21:] Hi from the South Pacific, Last evening (1000 UTC today) I observed something I've not noticed before. The 1650 AM North American stations were suffering QRM on both upper and lower sideband from spurs on 1649.5795 and 1650.4165 kHz, causing a heterodyne whine on the channel. See attached screenshot. Centre point for these is 1649.998, so perhaps KFOX or CINA have a transmitter or transmission issue? Coincidentally I note CINA was first reported in NZ last month by colleagues on a DXpedition, so perhaps I am 'hearing' evidence of them for the first time?! Is their anyone who hears CINA regularly that can check this possibility out for me? 73 Bryan Clark, Mangawhai, Northland, New Zealand`` ``Hello, Bryan. From Masset, I had a look at my overnight captures. First noted on May 19th and continues now (1000 UT). Best heard when I use my ALA 1530 aimed 310/130 deg. Not heard on unterminated N Beverage. Also heard well on my 110 deg DKAZ. Measuring approximately 1649.579 and 1650.416. Last night not heard at 0458 TOH capture, but clearly there at 0558. Wonder who might it be? 73 from above the Arctic Circle off the Norwegian coast, Walt Salmaniw`` ``May 22 #41381, Hi Bryan, Very interesting indeed, here is what I seen early this morning with my antenna pointing to the west from Austin, Texas with Jaguar pro, it appears the signal started at 0500z and gone by 1200z per my screen view. When I checked on my antenna to the south, there was very little showing, so, maybe KFOX?? Thoughts?? James Niven, Austin, Texas`` And Walt Salmaniw, BC, replies today July 17: ``Checked my overnight captures, Glenn. The tones came on at 0500:18 and off at 1200:15. The late 1200 encompasses all of Asia and the Pacific, Alaska, BC, western US states, most of central and western Mexico, and the southern bit of South America. The 0500 hour is too early to be from the Pacific and Asia. Perhaps this narrows things down a bit for the search of the culprit. 73, Walt`` I hear it so easily and steadily that I really doubt it be from outside N America. Apparently no one has tried to DF it; I shall try, if there be enough signal into the DX-398 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2345 UT July 17
