** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 10125-USB, phone not CW, July 18 at 0643, JBA
Aussies in ragchew; one IDs as VK5-something. Same frequency as much
more regular HK3QQ Bogotá, Colombia with its slow sequences of CW
letters in keyboard order, some with errors, but no QRM with BFO on
USB 10125 exactly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. The only ZY on three SW frequencies at once, R. Voz
Missionária, and never exact as I measure them this time, July 18 at
0624-0630, with music and Portuguese ID:
5940.220, S7 vs HSNL;
9664.901, S5/9;
11750.062, S4/S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9700, July 18 at 0150, no signal from RHC. Sometimes on here
in English, leaving only 6000 at 0151, S9+10/20 but
undermodulatedistortion. 9700 supposedly ex-6165, never heard any
more. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, July 18 at 0645, RHC in Spanish, S9+10/20 and the SSOB
on this overrun ``daytime`` frequency sometimes latenight rather than
9535, 9700, 11670 or 11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 11760, July 8 at 2207, RHC Spanish only S4/S6 with
QRM from Chinese music. That would be CRI `Portuguese` with fill-music
only as per Aoki sked this hour from Xianyang 59 site. Commies vs
Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11850, July 18 at 2208, RHC S1/S6 with trace? of modulation,
also parasite JBA carriers 11840; and 11860 QRMing jamming against
nothing. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.918 AM, July 18 at 0634, never-IDing pirate a
regular late-night, S8/S9, music and talk. Lucas Bandura, BC, got an
eQSL presumably for a report on some forum such as HFU;
``From: LNL6XXX41SW <lnl6xxx41sw@protonmail.com>
Date: July 16, 2023 at 9:59:41 PM PDT
Subject: EQSL 6869.92
LATE NIGHT LUNATICS 6869.92
What kind of rat bastard psychotic would play that song right now?
Thanks For The Report! July 2023 40W 10K.Colorado`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, July 18 at 2200 and later, no signal from VOT
English direct. Propagation degraded but ought to get something; Spain
still VG on 17855. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15120, July 18 at 2203, S8/S9 of dead air, no doubt VOA
Grimesland slow to turn off after weekday 2130-2200 Bambara (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2199 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday July 18 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+15/20 into Maryland SDR to
the NNE tho beamed NNW; as usual at this time, Jeff tries to insert a
``The World is in Turmoil`` SW receiver commercial after the ID until
WOR starts.
It seems that WORLD OF RADIO is back on SW from Australia, low-power
LSB instead of USB. Website https://www.uniqueradio.biz/
now says:
``WE BROADCAST ON 5035 kHz LSB up until 9PM & 3210 kHz USB after 9PM
AEST {= changing at 11 UT}
Winamp: http://uk2-pn.mixstream.net:8042/ 64K Bitrate
Server 2: http://usa9-vn.mixstream.net:8102 64K Bitrate
Server 3: http://15343.cloudrad.io:9270 96K Higher
bitrate
STREAMING SERVERS WILL BE UP WHEN THE SHORTWAVE IS ON AIR WITH A MIX

So that includes WORLD OF RADIO, Wed 1000 & 1030 UT, the second
presumably being previous week`s edition; but no longer on Sundays.
So, Next:
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-LSB
1030 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-LSB [previous #2198]

** U S A. 7505, July 18 at 0149, WRNO S9+20 but still distorted
modulation like 24h ago; hard to describe but unlike distortion heard
elsewhere such as Cairo or Cuba. Is nobody listening at HQ? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9275, July 18 at 2159, bit of music from WMLK about to close
and shortly off. Last time I ran across 15150 after 0600 it was quite
weak for 300 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Frank Merrill replies on the IRCA iog to my repeated and
latest report of KLEY 1130 Wellington KS running full power at night:
``Daytimers on the air at night -- fmerrilljr -- Jul 17 -- #35167
Wow, WHKY is *STILL* on huge power at night? I noticed that years
ago. I haven't DX'ed on AM in a number of years, and I no longer have
a location to do so regularly, so I won't start again (from Chicago,
in the City). I'm also in a highrise there, with a very high noise
floor; trying to hear anything that crosses an ocean would be entirely
futile. All that said, I will never lose interest in it.
Just this past week I've read an article saying that the FCC will not
enforce any station running outside its parameters (such as KLEY
full-power at night), unless a co-channel broadcaster complains.
(This was written in response to one of Glenn Hauser's reports that he
notes KLEY on with full power at night, rather than their one-watt
licensed night power.) KWKH probably doesn't even care, unless KLEY
would QRM the signal within the listening area, which is not likely
with 250 watts. More likely for QRM from WISN or WBBR (strong
night-pattern protection notwithstanding) even before any worries
about a Kansas 250-watter.
This can also respond to the Dayton stations on 1290 and 1410 very
possibly not caring at all that they're being blasted by stations
southeast of them running unauthorized night power. Unlike the 1130
situation with KLEY/KWKH, I would definitely think that WHKY and WHLN
could very easily be "eating into" Dayton's SUBURBAN coverage, at
least. They still might not care.
All of this is ALMOST like a criminal court proceeding: the
"plaintiff" (such as KWKH or WING) apparently needs to have standing
for the FCC to enforce such infractions. KWKH would of course have
standing, but a DX'er does not.
That seems to be as good explanation of why a station can stray from
its licensed parameters for years at a time and, no matter how blatant
it seems, nothing usually happens until they just decide to stop ---
which gives them no incentive at all to stop.
UNRELATED, BUT FUN FACT: The small town town of North, South Carolina
is southeast of Due West.`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, July 18 at 0636, R. Vanuatu, YL in Bislama with
service announcements, S9/+10. There every night and not always
relogged; until it isn`t (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
