** CHINA. 13020, Aug 20 at 1345, Chinese S4/S6 direct with flutter,
one of countless CNR1 jammers against Sound of Hope, also audible this
daypart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA. ``Dear Glenn, according to the official Colombian
registry of Colombian hams, RABCA [Radioaficionados y Banda
ciudadana], HK3QQ actually doesn't have a valid license. He had one
but finished in November 2021. Yesterday I heard that Mr. Ernesto
Reyes reporting to the Colombian Fraternity net on 7145 khz USB at
about 2230 UT. Sorry to have to inform that situation. Please keep my
identification confidential. Thank you.``
So that may explain why we no longer hear him on 10125-CW. Still has a
QRZ.com page, bare-bones, but that site is totally unofficial. I
wonder if they take any measures to assure everyone be licensed?

** CUBA. 18135 USB, Aug 20 at 0102, CO8LY calling QRZ and then CQDX;
at first he doesn`t hear those replying. There are only one or two
other phonesigs on band. Nice to hear him again; he used to be a
mainstay on the 24 MHz band - where I have heard zero activity lately
as I tune across even when 28 MHz be somewhat open. QRZ.com: CO8LY

** NORTH AMERICA. 6865 USB>LSB, Aug 20 at 0125, rock music with heavy
beat which continues as various IDs talk over it: 0126 YL with ``Mix
Radio International``. 0132: ``You are listening to Radio 48 on Mix
Radio International ... dares to be different``. 0134, ``Riders on/of
the Storm`` song. It`s mainly USB but also audible when I switch to
LSB with much lower modulation. There is no carrier. A VG S9/+20
signal, the OPOB = only pirate on band. I compare it to the non-pirate
WBCQs presumably with much bigger transmitters: MRI with better signal
than 5130+, 6160-, 9330, slightly less than 7490-, but *louder* than
any of them!
Many more reports here:

No one mentions the USB>LSB matter, but rave reviews of the audio and
its expanded bandwidth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 4170, Aug 20 at 0137 UT, third harmonic of local 1390
KCRC, good with silly ballgame - usually only a trace of this, and
still only a trace on 2780 second harmonic. I`d be interested to know
if anyone beyond Enid can hear them (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TIBET [non]. 11569.75 approx., Aug 20 at 0112, JBA carrier vs an
equally weak one close to 11570.00 - Aoki & EiBi show AIR Tibetan
service via Delhi/Kingsway at 0100-0230, which of course has to be
jammed by the ChiCom occupying Holy Tibet, probably with CNR1, site
unknowable but not necessarily inside Xizang. I suppose Akashvani is
more likely to be the skewed one. Both references still list it as All
India Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2204 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday August 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, VP into Durango2 SDR but
audible except for 14-second noise blast QRM at the start. Later into
Louisiana SDR, much better S9+10/20.
Also confirmed UT Sunday August 20 from 0322 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
VG S9+10/20 into nearby SDR.
One needs to keep checking the WRMI sked grids even if there be no
change in the Update date. I do so after 05 UT Sunday and spot some
new WOR times: UT Sunday 0000 on 9955, too late to check this week;
Tuesday 1300 on 9955; Friday 2030 on webcast only.
NOT confirmed Sunday August 20 at new time 1130 on WRMI 9955, which
supposedly just started last week. I manage to become awake today only
to find a gospel huxter on instead. Later another check of the still
dated ``Aug 11`` skedgrid *now* shows WOR an hour earlier at 1030!
Hope this last more than a week, altho very early for North Americans.
