Glenn Hauser logs July 19-20, 2025

Sunday, July 20 2025

** CUBA. 13780, July 19 at 2234, RHC NF is missing again? No, but JBA
Spanish into Maryland, other remotes where it should do better;
underpowered? By 0001 July 20 direct check, no signal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CURACAO. 21300.2 USB, July 19 at 2255, CQ CQ from PJ2Y, at first
sounded like PJ2YPJ till a different voice took over, or 21300.3?
quick contacts, contest? QRZ.com: ``PJ2Y Curacao flag Curacao, James R
Storms, 4968 Tilbury Rd, Huber Heights, OH 45424, Curacao - Here it is
2025 and we are on the air in Curacao from July 18 through July 21.
Try to contact all kids on each band. Again we thank the Caribbean
Contest Consortium for hosting us. Uli is here and doing a great job
helping us with the station. A special thanks to Dayton Amateur Radio
Association for being the major sponsor. As always DX engineering is a
high level supporter along with Icom`` It seems this is an annual
outing of ``The Dave Kalter Youth DX Adventure`` The OSOB, at least no
other SSBs encountered (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, July 19 at 1851, R. Mali in token English for a few
minutes on Saturdays only. Checking several remotes in Canary,
Morocco, Spain, Sicily, Greece, Kuwait, Qatar, RSA, most getting
nothing or too little except for TWR Johannesburg, but it`s insuff,
only S7 vs high noise level. The OM speaker is more intelligible than
the YL with a heavy French? accent. I recall that Fuerteventura,
Canary Islands used to work best for this, but not now shown on the
KiwiSDR roster. However, I do find and reach EA8BFK via another
roster, almost too late: S9+20/30 at 1901 still English, mentioning
the Malian Association of Teachers of English, and something about
Nelson Mandela. 1903 wrapping up with frequency 92.0, and ``may God
bless Mali`` at 1904 bit of music and switch to another language
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6965 USB, July 20 at 0007, pirate music, S9+10/20 vs
NL of S9+10; retuned at 0009 just as a Wolverine Radio ID is uttered.
More:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,147761.0.html
Theme is Woman, see playlist; SSTV illustrated with a reclining nude
sculpture (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 AM, July 20 at 0008, pirate music JBA S9+10/20.
These say it`s Thunder Chicken Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,147756.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, July 20 at 0044 UT on caradio, bandscanning in case
a bit of Es DX; at least two signals fading in and out here. Weak but
clear for an ID, ``Heart & Soul 92.1 and 1140`` which is merely K221FQ
OKC of KRMP 1140, which ought to be better than JBA in noise level; 99
watts.

Occasionally fading up to dominance on 92.1 is KFXI Marlow 100 kW,
C&W; 0051 ID ``KFXI Foxy 92``, and now it is definitely with $ tereo
pilot, but was surely in mono whenever I heard it before and shown as
such in WTFDA FM DB. I suppose we cannot be sure it will always be one
or the other? If a station ever deliberately turn to mono e.g. during
talk programming, it might forget to change back to $ (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** PERU. 4955, July 19 at 2247, good Spanish signal into Lima remote,
S9+10/22, no doubt R. Cultural Amauta, or is it just R. Amauta as in
WRTH? I should have stayed for an ID. Hearing it directly is tough,
especially since it is not 24h (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.003+, Sat July 19 at 2211, VOT English not off the
air, S9+25/45 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28200+ CW, July 19 at 2347, beacon with 20 E`s and very fast
msg, starting with NST, which was probably really TEST, and from
N4WLO/B, Theodore AL, heard before, listed 28200.5.

28209.5 CW, July 19 at 2348, K7EMX/B is audible as well as WWV on
25000; Kearns UT, no doubt reminding us to check out his QRZ.com site
for loads of jabs at our dear leader: https://www.qrz.com/db/K7EMX
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2304 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday July 19 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, S9+40/50 direct. After Ancient
Word Radio and WTWW IDs claiming 100 kW, as usual I am introduced as a
``ministry``.

Also confirmed Saturday July 19 at 1441 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.001-, S9+5 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday July 19 at 1600 on WRN North America stream

Also confirmed Saturday July 19 at 1732 the 1730 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.002- S9/+10 and 3975.001+ S7/S9 with self-imposed tone,
into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday July 19 at 1939 about 5 minutes into so
started circa 1934 UT on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, S5.5 into
K9VD Jerseyville IL remote only.

Also confirmed Saturday July 19 at 2023 the 2000 on WRN Europe

into Maryland SDR, but S9/+15 into UTwente where it`s aimed.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 20 from 0325 the 0315v on WA0RCR, 1860
AM, MO, S8/9+15 into N9AZZ remote in IL. Next:

1900 UT Sunday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 and/or 918;
2100 UT Sunday WRMI 15770 to NE;
2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;

Thanks for financial support this week from Peter Robinson, Preston
UK, a very generous contribution via PayPal, to woradio at yahoo.com

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, July 19 at 2342, WTWW with TOMBS is S9+40 direct, and
no spurs or splatter unlike yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 25000, July 20 at 0026 since WWV is well heard now via
sporadic E, I measure the offset on my R75: as if on 25000.113. And on
20000.078. And on 10000.044. Each may be a few Hz off; obviously the
higher the frequency, the greater the error, but should be
proportional. There is probably an adjustment somewhere inside the
radio to ``zero`` the readout; but meanwhile this can be a rough
correxion factor for other frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 28340 USB, July 20 at 0012-0025, two or three hams in
colloquial Spanish, never heard an ID as they were more interested in
masticando trapos. No other SSBs audible on 10m, but a few beacons. No
hits on dxheat/dxcluster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
