** AUSTRALIA. 28266 CW, Aug 31 at 2207, JBA dash and DE VK4RST, that
Queensland beacon again as last logged Aug 23, q.v. Really gets out.
No other beacons or phones on 10m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Aug 31 at 0051, suptorted Spanish presumably CRI relay,
S9+40/45. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Not much yet on 6000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR [and non]. 6050, UT Sat Aug 31 at 0650, song seems hymnic,
S7/S9 direct. Not ELWA as one might guess but HCJB on air long past
usual 0500*, as tipped by Manuel Méndez, Spain who was still hearing
it after 0600. Anomaly or permanent change? If so, bad news for
coreligionist ELWA Liberia which starts a bit before 0600. EiBi shows
0500* daily tho used to be extended only on weekends, and 0230*v
weekdays. Also shows another overlap when both are on 6050,
*2100-2232*. ELWA has always been no better than JBA here around
0600.

Manuel Méndez wrote: ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Friol.
ECUADOR, 6050, HCJB, Pichincha, with extended program today, the
station usually closes at 0500 but today on air beyond that time. At
0500 "Son las cero horas, música cristiana contemporánea para tu
corazón", religious songs, at 0609 ID "HCJB, encuentra tu melodía
preferida para establecer tu conexión con Dios", at 0600 new
identification and religious comments by male, Spanish. 25422.``

And Kai Ludwig replied: ``Is any of the separate programming in
indigenous languages left on this frequency? If I recall correct it
had been reported to be completely gone when 6050 kHz returned after a
prolonged break. Only the FM programming was observed anymore. So the
extension was presumably just a failure of a timer that is supposed to
turn off this transmitter overnight. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PANAMA. 24950 USB, Aug 30 at 2206, finally a phoneham heard on 12m
after many weeks of almost afternoonly bandscans of nothing - English
with accent about 6m, mentions Panamá. Quickly worx UStations, says
humidity of 90-95% there is a hardship, finally fonetik ID as HP1XV,
not HP1AV as it first sounded. QRZ.com:

``HP1XV Panama flag Panama, Rafael "RAFA" Ferrer Orsi, calle 3 b las
cumbres, panama 0850, Panama``

This is all he says on his page, also in Spanish but his English is
more literate:

``Dear colleagues, I would like to inform you that the BUREAU is
neither here nor expected and if that were not enough, the Panamanian
postal service only receives correspondence from abroad but does not
let out correspondence. As a radio amateur I am very clear that the
QSOs must be confirmed with their corresponding QSL card,
unfortunately this is difficult to do here but not impossible, and I
have come to the conclusion that I must adapt to this new QTH to be
able to continue enjoying this magnificent hobby, the conclusion is
that the most effective way I see to confirm is through LoTW, logbook
of the world, however, for those nostalgic for the physical QSL, they
can claim it via Spanish mail. The colleague EA5HB, who is my brother,
has offered to handle my correspondence, any contribution to pay for
the return is well received, you can also claim the QSL card via
Spanish BURO (HP1XV via EA5XV) I regret not being able to confirm
otherwise because my family finances cannot support 500 QSOs per month
directly via UPS or DHL. I hope they are compassionate. R Ferrer
Orsi`` What good is a post office if you cannot send mail abroad???

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.999, Aug 31 at 1514 into UTwente, S9+5/10 in

11935.4. No chirping or other extraneous noise now (Glenn Hauser, OK,

off the air, S9+20/30 direct, previewing interview about anthropology
exhibition. 2202 news leads with pause in Gazawar for polio
vaccinations of children. Finally the combatants realize they have a
common enemy --- but they can hardly triage which kids are going to be
killed in the war anyway, wasting the vaccine. 17715 & 15520 are also
on but still not 15390. 2212 feature is about a street fight by
rockers in post-Franco 1974 which got worldwide publicity, and also
the Brighton Brawl in UK 60 years ago. Now there has just been a new

on 11785 kHz at 2200 last night (Aug 29). I didn't find it anywhere
else at that time. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004-, Aug 31 at 2201, VOT not off the air BUT NOT in
English - sounds like a Turkic language, possibly Turkish, S9+10/20
direct, YL with news or olds with stingers. 2227 when measured into
UTwente, M&W dialog perhaps drama. No  language but English is sked at
this hour on any SW frequency, but no doubt domestic programming in TT
is available at Emirler, where something is always erroneous (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Here`s my report to VOA Grimesland: ``To:mdail@usagm.gov ---
``Hello Mr Dail, I`m listening to your DRM test around 6090. First
noticed DRM on my analog NRD-545 at 0051 UT August 31. It did not seem
to be centered on 6090, but roughly 6083-6094. I don`t have DRM
capability here so I brought up on the New Hampshire KiwiSDR:
http://w1nt.onthewifi.com:8073/ which does show it at 6090
.

VG reception of music only, no announcements or IDs heard but the
display showed Murrow Station, Greenville, and QSL requests to you.
Several songs followed with pauses, none in Spanish. I could not name
most of them until 0116 Beatles` Hard Days Night, but stopped at 0118
for transmitted silence, 0119 a variety of strange sounds as some
other song attempted. More of that at 0122 as I am about to dispatch
this.

I see that the drmrx schedule shows R. Marti 24 hours. This is the
first time I`ve run across tests on 6090. What are the actual
transmission hours? Does this really have anything to do with Marti?
Are you going to put that programming on it? Wonder if you will try
Journaline? I copied some of the parameters off the display, which no
doubt match what you are sending out. SNR varying 13.0 up to 15.5 dB.
xHE_AAC(1001)DRM Test Tx EEP Audio 9.76 kbps.

I would be interested to know which GB# transmitter this is, what
brand, and what else it may be used for in AM. Are there any active
DRM tests on other frequencies? I would also like to know the power
for this and antenna azimuth. I would appreciate QSL as offered. If
card available, my postal address is: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684,
Enid OK 73702.

Also monitored with interest the brand new VOA Fulani service on 17630
AM at 1630-1700 today Friday-only apparently, August 30. Which
transmitter site is that from?
Thanks and 73, Glenn Hauser, Enid OK`` - no reply to any of this by
Aug 31.

Additional info: on AM tuning, S9+20. At W1NT it showed S8. Music
heard at 0055 was soul/jazz, no ID at hourtop 0100. Pauses and other
tunes 0103 YL vocal, 0107. Still on at 0130, 0156, 0251 considerably
weakened, but off around 0300 when I went back to it after checking

** U S A. 9475, Aug 31 at 2213, WTWW reactivated with preaching,
inbooming direct S9+50/60, so if previous sked resume, WORLD OF RADIO
should appear at 2300. AND, 9930 the other transmitter is also back at
2214, not quite as loud but also S9+50 with music. Presumably both
will shift later to 5085 and 5920 respectively. The engineer from
Germany must have arrived and fixed things (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` WBCQ chex Aug 30 at 2343 into NH SDR: 3265 &
5130 OFF, so a rerun is likely. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 with TOMBS and
never changes to AAAWWW. 7490 -71 Hz = 7489.929 FKB S9+5/15. 2359
1-minute-warning tone and he wraps up, bit of music fill and
disclaimer that following AAAWWW originally aired Aug 23, 2024, i.e.
last week: never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 91.5 FM, Aug 30 circa 1915 UT on caradio, KSNS Medicine
Lodge KS is *still* broadcasting dead air in $ tereo, AND Aug 31 at
1900. Slogan changed from ``Keep Singing New Songs`` to ``Keeping
Silent, No Sounds`` They should put that on their RDS. I`m
investigating this further. Would you believe that radio-locator.com
says this ``Christian Contemporary`` in KS is owned by FLORIDA PUBLIC
RADIO, address in Titusville, yet with a (620) KS AC phone?!

And website https://www.krejksns.org -- Indeed they are sibling to
KREJ 101.5 ``Keep Ready Expecting Jesus``. Maybe transitioning to FPR
ownership, however unlikely? This on website may explain why it`s
deadairing for more than a week:

``Dear faithful KREJ/KSNS listeners and support partners, I’m Carol
Henry, now the president and manager of the network of eight stations
my husband Randy was used of God to build. It’s with a heavy heart
still that my sons and I have taken up this mantle that Randy left to
us when he entered heaven on April 12th, 2024. Keeping all the
stations on the air has put a tremendous responsibility on my
shoulders. And without Randy and Mike Henry’s help here in Kansas, I
feel we must find new owners to continue this ministry that we know
has blessed many lives for 34 years...``

And look at this when you click on KSNS Schedule: ``KSNS Program
Schedule Last updated August 18, 2024. Programs in bold are locally
produced. We have switched the content on KREJ and KSNS. Now you hear
KREJ programming on 91.5 FM and contemporary Christian music on 101.7
FM.``

The KREJ schedule is much more detailed,
https://www.krejksns.org/krejschedule.php
but note the limited hours for live streaming, much less than onair
times, strange, due to costs??: ``KREJ Program Schedule Last updated
July 1, 2024. Programs in bold are locally produced. Often short
programs are aired multiple times but may only be listed once.
Streaming is available Monday - Friday 5 AM - 6 PM and Saturday and
Sunday 5 AM - Noon. Click on “Listen Live” in the menu``

KREJ is 50 kW on 101.7 also in Medicine Lodge. Seems I last logged it
in 2021 & 2022 as QRMing Es DX - I would not call it ``semi-local``
now, normally unheard so maybe really has been off, not even dead air,
or QRP? I wonder what the other six stations were. They are also on
disgraced FB but nothing beyond quoted above (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 100.3, Aug 31 at 1801 UT, routine caradio bandscan hits here
an ad for ISU Bookstore, and mentions of IOWA! DXMAP shows no Es, and
too close anyway; nor APRS map tropo, altho there is some from Iowa
into Kansas, supposedly not extending to Enid. Some more local? ads
follow, but soon fadeout. This is the only Iowan on 100.3 per WTFDA
FMDB:
``KDRB 100.3 DES MOINES 100.0 kW 547.0 m 41-49-48 93-36-54 HD 19A7
100.3 The BUS title & Artist No Program Type or Undefined ADULT HITS
100.3 THE BUS 51332``

Perhaps a propagational fluke, aided by airplane scatter; unseemed
meteor scatter. It`s hard to imagine ISUBS advertising outside Iowa or
even further from Ames than DM. Unless from a SBG net? First ISU FB
game of season is today but radio coverage on KCHA 95.9 at least does
not start until 1930 UT, against North Dakota in Ames (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 31 at 0656, no signal from R. Vanuatu - as soon
as I mention on WOR 2258 that it`s been reliable as of Aug 29. Ron
Howard and I did not find it on any other known frequency. I am
however getting spurbirdies every 40 kHz including 7260 from something
local, probably a computer not turned off yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27200 USB, Aug 31 at 2205, 2- or rather multi-way net in
unknown language. A split between regular US CB channels which must
end in 5. With Queensland in on 10m, could be any Pacifican (Glenn

** U S A [non]. 17630, August 30 at 1630-1700, I`m monitoring the new
Friday-only Fulani language service of VOA, via remotes. At UTwente,
1629 no signal, *1630 carrier pops on at S9+25/35, and a few seconds
later, JIP modulation in progress, with some hum. At RSA SDR it`s VP
S5/S7. Then I attempt TDOA locating since the site is unknown and
still not in HFCC last updated Aug 21: at 1640, Brasília, Jo`burg and
Sardinia point to 33N/47E, i.e. close to KUWAIT: Kuwait City is
29.38N/47.98E. That is certainly believable. So I then check the
Kuwait SDRs: good signals S9/+15 but some fading so unseems
groundwave. 1645 another try with Maryland, Argentina, RSA: surely
extraneous showing 3N/68.5W = SE Colombia. I wanted to employ Canary
Islands but was not available until near the end, at 1655 anyway VG
S9+20/30 as would be expected. 1658 check direct just in time and it`s
a JBA carrier, so certainly not Grimesland which would have been
possible. VOA chopped in progress at 1700 to OC and off at 1700.5*. No
IS or ID at open or close, altho I do not understand much Fulani.
Others could handle it: Botswana, Madagascar, several European sites.
BTW, HFCC has 17630 registered for RMI via ISS at 1700-1800, but
nothing there. Also checked 17630 earlier at 1444, algo JBA direct
which is listed as CRI English via Mali. So what did others find by

before 0309 is from 0240, VCS-21, Halifax, 1500 watts - but no
languages specified unlike some of the others. I wonder how uptodate
this ref be, since atop it`s dated 2020-05-13 and abottom is (C) 2020.
Latest EiBi, however shows plain old VCS Halifax in English and French
at 0240-0310! All of them are in a break between 0500 & 0740: do these
shift with DST or not? There is a CCG website of such info I have lost
track of, presumably current (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 29 at 0312, R. Progreso is OFF; something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba. 5025 Rebelde is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 29 at 0316, RHC English at S9+30/40 but sup/torted,
and still no 9700. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Following my
previous report, David E Crawford, FL, replied Aug 29 at 1512:

``I haven't heard any daytime RHC during random checks the past week
or so, at least in the 1400+ Z range, nor the return of any midday
HM01 so far. One wonders if RHC is finally on their terminal "run HF
to failure" phase, following which they become an internet-only
service. 5025 ison today, so-so modulation quality and fair signal``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2258)

** CUBA. 9790, Aug 29 at 0324, CRI relay manages to modulate in
English, but sup/torted, S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2258)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Aug 29 at 0420, Station YHWH is JBA, S9+10
direct = HSNL. Seems to be on almost every night how (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2258)

** U S A. 4095, Aug 29 at 0311, sweeps upward JBA again vs noise
level, the ``Desert Whooper`` beacon DW. Just before, I listened to
2097.0 in USB for more than 10 seconds and still unheard beacon on
2097.3 ``A`` anywhere but Quartzsite AZ, apparently still kaput (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Aug 29 at 0313, WTWW is off already; had been heard
after 0100. Evidently current much curtailed schedule is 0100-0300 -
except on UT Saturdays I hope until 0330 to contain WORLD OF RADIO.
However, 5085 and all other frequencies OFF at 0142 check August 30.
May need to be off while working on some of transmitters (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2258)

** U S A. 5800, Aug 29 at 0313, WRMI in English with Freedom Synergy
Radio ID, the Miami-based pro-Taiwan, anti-PRC program, no jamming
audible. Guess what, when I check 9955 at 0325 it`s also // there,
S9+30/40 with better modulation than usual. Contrary to own websked:
System B at 0300 shows Prague in English and French on 9955. System H
also shows 9955 with Pragues. While WRMI-10 transmitter does have FSR
as System B on 5800! Something`s odd at Okeechobee. By 0638, 9955 is a
JBA carrier, as always weaker than 9455 & 9395 with more favorable
azimuths thisaway, but they are also VP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2258)

** U S A. 5925-5945, Aug 29 at 0315, noise field surrounding 5935 WWCR
with DGS, like I noted earlier around 9980; in addition to various
spurtones out of dirty 5935, constantly varying with modulation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9742-9760 approx., Aug 29 at 0323, OTH radar clickery. Altho
INTRUDING into broadcast bands they seem to avoid BC signals out of
own self-interest (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1110, Aug 29 at 0646 UT, `Coast to Coast AM` on KFAB Omaha
is running 5 seconds behind weaker 1100 WTAM Cleveland. I think the
delay be not always thus, so now I have something to compare with
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1160, Aug 29 at 0638 UT, take that, LDS, instead of KSL,
Christians vs Christians, dominant signal is Spanish preacher
reverbing, 0656 ID as R. María, outro program as `Reflecciones
Bíblicas`. Now there is a sesquiHz SAH = 90/minute, probably KSL
attempting to regain. Refers to radiomaria.org, lots of info there, HQ
in Roma, but no obvious station list! 0700 breaks for ID in English,
KCTO with two FM frequencies, 100.5 & 90.3? Am I correct that FCC
rules do not require legal IDs to be in English? Radio-locator.com:
``KCTO-AM also broadcasts its primary channel from these 2
transmitters
K257DZ  99.3 FM Kansas City, MO (99 watts)
K263BU 100.5 FM Kansas City, MO(250 watts)``

0702 back to Spanish for ``2 de la mañana`` timecheck and long list of
R. María stations, most/all FM. KCTO is in Cleveland MO, U4 5000/230
watts, yet overcomes U1 50/50 kW KSL. We explored this in great detail
when last logged May 27-28; see:

with a follow-up next week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING -- Guest commentary by Greg Hardison:

``It seems maybe 90% of Amerikans cannot grasp the fact that, both
Socialism and Communism are ECONOMIC, not Political entities! True,
many Communist heads-of-state have not been able to resist turning
their realms into full-blown dictatorships — which again, too many
Amerikans would be happy with (led by Guess Who - not the rock
group!), yet without the actual benefits of Socialism.

Our own limited Socialism gives us publicly maintained roads, the
Interstate Highway System (13 hours from Atlanta to the Canadian
border at Detroit), Fire Departments and other first responders —
including Ambulance crews, streetlights, gas and electricity in many
cases, the nation's finest WiFi system (in Chattanooga, Tennessee),
Medical Research including those dreaded, treacherous vaccines (so
it's better to have Polio everywhere, such as what we had 70 years
ago?), or Medical Research which developed implanted cardiac
defibrillators (greatly reducing the number of deaths due to
Ventricular Tachycardias, which otherwise cut life-expectancies down
to about fifteen minutes).

Socialism means your health care is a guaranteed right, not a
commodity or a luxury like, say, a Lamborghini. If you can't afford a
Lamborghini, then you don't buy one. In Amerika, if you can't afford
the necessary health care, some just die & move out of the way in the
process. Otherwise you have to find a way to game the system; either
way, the rich bitches just get fatter.

Under Socialism, schoolchildren have enough to eat thanks to their
local school — but in our non-Socialist "red states", free school
lunch programs are being eliminated, while the kids are fed manmade
organized religion instead. Ironically, without the Socialism produced
in tax-exemptions, many religious establishments would not even
exist.

In fact, without "Socialism", the "red states" wouldn't exist at all,
as much of their public funding is provided by tax dollars collected
and collated in the "blue states". How would they even pay for all
those postings of the King James-Christian Ten Commandments in public
classrooms? ​There, enough of that from me--but what have I left
out?``

SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.411, Aug 27 at 1626, Qur`an at S9+10/20 into
UTwente; no chirping or other disruptions now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.4 approx., Aug 26 at 0418 weak S4/S5 rapid
chirping direct as heard recently from Riyadh`s Yemen service. Over to
UTwente at 0422 where it`s S9, and will not synchronize at any point.
Rapid chirping maybe 4X per second but irregular, in USB tuning, but
in AM, only hear clix above much weaker program modulation. Magnifying
waterfall, we see spikes upward only from 11935.5 past 11937; still so
at 0502. This transmitter keeps finding new ways to disrupt itself -
unless it`s external jamming, unseems. Next check 1918 Aug 26 into
UTwente - clear, no chirp, S9+15/25 on 11935.403
