** BRAZIL. 9665.043, July 25 at 0642, another direct measurement of
the variable R. Voz Missionária, Camboriú, Santa Catarina, S5/S6 music

** CUBA [and non]. David Crawford, FL, replies again to the 6100
situation, and more, 0138 UT July 25:
Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs July 23-24, 2023 --- I've heard DRM
around 6100 but paid no attention to it on this occasion. So, I can't
draw any conclusions about the presence or absence of co- or
adjacent-channel DRM there during the noisy RHC log. Will check again
here. I've heard that same noisy RHC audio on 9700 once. Tonight 11760
Bauta is the problem, a 40 kHz wide singing blob.
The HM01 spook reawakened at 21Z today, reported on 11635 via UDXF. I
first heard it myself at 2215 on 10715. Usual format, quality. It was
still not there yet at 16 and 17 Z earlier in the day (24 July).
RHC Bauta has been showing up at random times on 9710 or 9650 the past
couple of days, either along with, or instead of, 9535 Bauta. Neither
freq had been used during July. Historically 9710 has been "listed" as
Bejucal, but is all Bauta just now. It will be interesting to see if
RHC Bejucal txs reappear in correlation with the return of HM01, since
they both initially disappeared around the same time in late June.
A curious open carrier was heard on 13740 0430-0448* 23 July GMT, at
levels and flutter fading comparable to RHC 11850 and 15230 at the
time, which might hint at a RHC return to 13 MHz in the works. David

** CUBA. 15140, July 25 at 1955, RHC English one of few sigs on band;
S9/+10, so I let its droning and music assist dozing for my nap, thru
2000 French, 2031 starting Portuguese, contrary to sked, aimed to N
America? As now per version 16 of WRTH PDF update as of July 23; 11760
& 15230 meanwhile are off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 25 at 2154, R. Cairo, S9+40 into UTwente but
extremely distorted; can recognize as English but not understand.
Tuned to 9440 at first had trouble synching until eventual settle at
.995. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.91 AM, July 25 at 0653, carrier detected,
presumably usual pirate, Late Night Lunatics. I am again plagued by
high local noise level from something other than that ChiCom ringlamp
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 93.9 WBFM, July 25 at 2058 UT, KIMY Watonga is still in
dead air, 21 hours after last check, standard remark --- but it`s in
$ tereo! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.019, July 25 at 2158, VOT English not absent today,
IS & IDs, S9+20/30 into UTwente with overmodulation distortion, worst
in music. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2200,
12-second-late timesignal, compared to CHU, can`t get WWV; jumbled
s/on by badax; news, of Greece wildfires, Turkey helping out; Rhodos
is right next to Turkey: any fires over there? Referendum in Mali
demotes French from national language, now merely a working language.
Several of the 13 major languages are now National out of a total of
70. 2213 going from `Review of the Tuerkiyeish Press` to `Weekly
Commentary` by the badax, something about fashion trends in Africa,
millions of tons of fabric destroyed? I cannot follow the gist with
many of her words incomprehensible, to 2226, then extremely distorted
music. 2231 multi-lingual ID filler reel, always with distracting
music. 2233 more and more distort-music. 2241.5 ``ABYS`` promo. 2242
`Tuerkiye`s Geomarked [sic] Products`, saffron plant from a city on
Black Sea, how it`s cultivated and produced, already finished at 2244.
We guess that it`s supposed to be ``geo-marketed`` as in exported,
unless they mean chips are implanted in each strand to mark them
geographically?? Something`s always awry at Ankara. More distorted
music -- much of it would be quite enjoyable otherwise, tsk2. 2253
s/off as always by badax giving same incomplete and jumbled English
sked as s/on, never mentioning this one. 2254 IS briefly and off
2255*. So I devoted another hour of my ever-diminishing valuable
lifetime to this, why? No 2200 English competition from Spain on
Tuesday, and Egypt`s modulation is even worse. Why not 11800 Romania?
Probably not so much to complain about (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, July 25 at 1724, some nice harmonica music, sure beats
DEJOM complaining about rival Yahwackos; oh, oh: 1728 WMLK ID and back
to DEJOM when he was just EJOM. Only S3/S7, sure doesn`t seem like 300
kW, but a lot better than nothing from 500 kW 9330 WBCQ WLCR. And
about equal to neighbor 50 kW 9265 WINB. By 1940, 9330 is back on and
in S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
