** CANADA. 7850 RCUSB, July 17 at 0622, CHU back on now, S9. And
Richard Langley reports: ``Confirmed 7850 kHz back on again when I
checked this morning (17 July) at about 1115 UT`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, July 17 at 1358, JBA in Spanish, RHC new frequency;
while 15230 is a JBA carrier. Chris Campbell got this from his contact
at RHC: ``RHC is trying a new frequency, 13780 in Spanish and I hope
in a few days they will have tests on other frequencies for the
English service.

The country is in chaos. Food, medicines, cooking gas, electricity,
public transport. Too many needs extremely hard to satisfy. I am
talking about the basics, no luxury at all. I am better than other
people my age and some days I have just one meal to leave something
for the next day, not to mention saving something for the kids``

And from Luis H. Esquivel in California at 1224 UT July 17: ``Good
Morning, I'm listening to RHC on 13780 kHz on one of my favorite Kiwi
SDR's in Lamont, Alberta Canada, http://72.172.110.98:8175/ My go to
SDR for being more local to me at the Mojave Desert California has
been offline lately so I went to my next favorite because of the
antenna system it uses and selected the 22m band and a strong signal
got my attention at 13780 khz and to my surprise is Radio Habana Cuba.
I'm recording it but hope you might be able to pick it up. Take care,
sincerely, Luis H Esquivel, K6LHE`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO

** U S A. 13605, 11930, 11860, July 17 at 1356 Grimesland open
carriers for R. Martí which blasts programming by 1400 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, July 17 at 1349, S5/S6 of open carrier/dead air. This
WRMI-6 is supposed to be 24h, with `Classic Redneck Radio` at this
time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, July 17 at 1350, WTWW already on with TOMBS. If now
24h, what is the switch time between 5920 & 9930; from 9930 to 5920
had been 0130, or earlier 0100?

Tony Pavick reports July 16: ``Regarding Overcomer on WTWW 9930:
I caught them this morning 1300 UT with and very good signal with
somewhat distorted audio, apart from the incredible caterwauling of
the singer on the Overcomer broadcast. My reason for mentioning it
here is that while the post here says 70 kilowatts, the WTWW top of
hour ID said 100 kilowatts. No doubt they are just using a previously
recorded ID. Tony Pavick, Hope BC`` 

Yes, nominal 100 kW, but George reduces to 70 to save expenses, and
feels there is no difference to the listener (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, Thu July 17 at 0620, S9/+5, screaming gospel huxter,
not // 5920 TOMBS, so not TOMBS? WINB extended schedule as
occasionally happens. What does program sked show? Effective July 13,
but not with this: still claims WINB Off Air, Thursdays 0400-1858! And
every day, except Sundays, off 0400-1158, Saturdays off 0400-1500.
Also 9265 JBA at 1348 July 17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

From now and for an unknowntime, at least for 3 years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs forDXing. Recently we moved from the village back to the city in a space thatprohibits the use of desktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise inthe LMHF bands. The radio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we runpolitically lively condition with always very interesting twits every day ..

By 0200-0205, MUF is down, opening overing? and I need to quit. At
0400 I see still going, but nexus further west, OK periphery at best
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, July 15 at 2349, new RHC on air again today, S9+10/15
into Georgia SDR, while 15230 is not on. At 0008 UT July 16, 13780
seems off both at Georgia and Lima, but at 0026 Georgia gets a JBA
carrier, from what? CRI Nepali from Kashgar is not until 0130 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, July 16 at 1341, RHC Spanish NF also in the mornings,
S7/S9 direct. 15230 is also on S4/S6 but very suptorted. On second rx
does not seem // or at least not synchronized; same at 1405. At 1420
seems // with applause intervals but not synchro, into Georgia SDRs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, July 16 at 2215, RHC S9+30 in Spanish with good
modulation, and not on 15230. Wonder which transmitter/site and how
they finally got it fixed up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1680, July 16 circa 2000 UT, Virtual DJ Radio still
going, best audible near US412/81 junxion in Enid, but seems weaker
than before - or line noise level worse. Likewise the never IDed rock
music with $ tereo pilot on 95.5, peaking about a mile west, at best
mostly a hummy dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15390, Wed July 16 at 2200, token English from SNR but on
this Af frequency, only a high-pitched tone. Something`s notright at
Noblejas. The other three funxional, but MUF is down, weakening SAm
17715 to S9/+10, ceding betterness to 15520 S9+10 for ME off the back
direct to here; with 15500 for NAm S9+20/30 best by far. Preview topic
to be about the Spanish Association of Consumer Rights. 2201 news
leads again with strife in a Murcia town resulting from 3 north
Africans attacking a real? Spaniard, leading to riots, demonstrations,
protests; ``deport them now`` - not just the culprits. RTVE reporters
had to be escorted out with police protexion. And the PM has visited
Mauritania - implying that`s where they were from. 2206 on to
discussion about a consumer protexion bill, planned obsolescence e.g.
light bulbs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785 & 9875, Wed July 16 at 2159 and later chex, no
signals direct nor at 2225 into UTwente from VOT English for N
America. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9917.2 & 9942.8, July 16 at 2212, weaker but doubtless
spurs, +/- 12.8 kHz out of 9930 WTWW S9+40/50 direct as TOMBS rants
against Catholix for worshiping Jesus, Mary, saints, rather than the
one and only diety (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, July 15 at 2350, checking whether WRMI has extended
this as on current sked: yes, still on with Classic Redneck Radio,
S7/S9, but off by 0006 check July 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, July 15 at 2351, this WRMI is on already with IS and

AWOL last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. FM DX opening July 16: see CANADA [and non]

** VANUATU. 9960, July 16 circa 0630, usual signal from R. Vanuatu;
but at 1406 a JBA carrier direct; and 1450-1500+ into Townsville SDR,
S9+10 of dead air except for some hum, some slight SSB QRM nearby.
Still DA at 1631. Off by 1747. As no other stations are ever using
9960, presumably RV leaves its carrier on overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
