** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 10 at 1348-1356; I am in too big a
hurry before breakfast to note S readings; some are sufficient, some
are JBA carriers in presumed spots: none in the 16s; 15165 with fast
SAH CCI, 15130, 14980, 14920, 14850, 13835, 13630-rare/new; 12850,
12190; inband 25m skipped; 11460, 11150, 10920, 10870; 9s not checked
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Aug 10 at 0550, RHC English check during music: this
one is S9+10/20 but suptorted; 6100 is S9+20/30 with less modulation
and less distortion; 6145 S9+10/20 with more modulation, less
distortion; while 5040 is S9+20/30 and suptorted. On the average,
overall, I suppose, a net improvement for now. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. (9830), as reported before, VOT English was missing from
the Wed Aug 5 at 2200 broadcast, so no `Letterbox` to be heard circa
2215; not until UT Aug 10 do I get around to checking the podcasts at
radio360.eu, only to find that Aug 5 is also missing there! But the
mailbag repeats on Saturdays so I listen to the Aug 8 one, to find it
at :13 into, and indeed a new one a week after previous, not a 2-week
delay, for the first reply is to Italy dated Aug 4; then India,
Algeria; Tampa FL --- where our 42-year-old host visited when he was
20 after Florence AL and New Orleans LA; India, Bahrain, but already
``out of time`` finishing after only 8 minutes at :21, and into music,
very enjoyable Turkish songs which play continuously past :46, so what
happened to all the other features? Something`s always awry at Ankara
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 18154-USB, Aug 10 at 1425, the OSOB is KD8BO, concluding
contact with an inaudible K0: ``KD8BO USA flag USA, Clarence L Jobe,
Sr, New Paris, OH 45347 USA``. This encourages me to check 10 MHz
higher:
28298-CW, Aug 10 at 1452, beacon K5TLL/B, relog: ``28.298 K5TLL C
HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI # 25W, VERTICAL New Freq 14 Dec 08``
There is another weaker I can`t read within one kHz.
28254.5-CW, Aug 10 at 1501, VVV VVV DE K4JEE/B thrice ... LOUISVILLE:
``28.2545 K4JEE C LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY # 5W, VERTICAL New 6 Nov 11``
This one is strongest of the lot, no problem copying
28209-CW, Aug 10 at 1506-1514, JBA, N8##L, can`t copy full call but
alternates at fast and slow WPM, surely this heard before:
``28.2088 N8PVL I LIVONIA, MICHIGAN # 5W, VERTICAL new 12 Feb 2011``
28281-CW, Aug 10 at 1507, DE W8EH and a grid square, no VVV preceding,
another one heard before as newies are seldom:
``28.281 W8EH C MIDDLETOWN OHIO # 8W, GP VERTICAL``
But no MUF into FM band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2046 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday August 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG here direct.
Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 10 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, both VG
S9+10/20 at UTwente; also WRN webcast at 0130.
Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 10 starting at 0314 on Area 51 webcast of
WBCQ 5130, after JL ran way late. Good into a Rochester SDR.
Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 10 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG at TWR Bonaire;
0329 R. Prague still talking, 0329.5 chopped off for a bit of music,
no ID, then WOR.
Also confirmed Mon Aug 10 from a few seconds before 1801 in IRRS 7290
Bulgaria? via UTwente SDR, VG S8/S9+10 but with perpetual warble from
7291 and splash from second adjacents; carrier already on at 1754
tune-in; <1759 JIP some unknown talkshow; <1800 chop for IRRS ID and
PO Box Milano, not a sign-on, by Italian accent for a change; very
quick FSN headlines and WOR which continues intact for first several
minutes. Next:
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 1210, August 10 at 0558 UT, a periodic but vain check for 50
kW daytimer WJNL in Michigan cheating again; instead I hear a mix of
Spanish mentions of McAllen, Texas, and Coast-to-Coast-AM. Per last
year`s NRC AM Log, only 1210 affil is WPHT Philadelphia, while the SS
is certainly KUBR San Juan, Tejas in the RGV; right now I am not
hearing KGYN OK either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4765, Aug 10 at 0433, noise blob but not decoding as DRM
by TWR Bonaire SDR; meant to check earlier, as Mark Coady, Ont.,
reported on the ODXA iog: ``4765 UNIDENTIFIED at 0205 with DRM-like
hash covering +/- 6 to 7 Khz – A total waste of bandwidth Aug 9
Coady-ON – Are the Cubans experimenting with DRM now? If so, why? And,
if not, who is?`` --- Progreso sked is nominally/normally 0030-0400
only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
