five hours of publicized specials, S9+35/40 into UTwente SDR; 1659

of that service from Argentina; at 1702 I notice bad audio distortion;
by 1725 it`s OK and S9+50.
At 1800 still VG into English for tribute to CAE, Canadian Forces
station in Germany: I`m sure this is all significant and nostalgic to
the parties involved, but too much else going on now for me to
dedicate 4 or 5 hours of my attention (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 408-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0643 UT, JDM, 25-watt NDB at Colby -
Wheatfield, Kansas. One wonders how a call with no connexion to the
listed location came about? So I try searching on JDM Colby, finding
``Colby Howard Lands at JD Motorsports For Majority of 2020 ``
about NASCAR - that`s a stretch! Further down are linx to JDM as
NAVAID, but no call significance. Even further down, there is a JDM
Enterprises, LLC, in Colby among 55 other places:

but what does it do? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 18 from 0544,

= at least two carriers beating, at widely varying pitches/rates. If I
had the time, could count them and compare to possible sources at
mwoffsets. *strongest. Sometime I may also make educated guesses about
each carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
