** ANTARCTICA. 15485.98 RC USB, Sat Sept 2 at 1756, LRA36 is on with
music, VG S9/+10 into Argentine SDR; 1758 announcement but I pause for
lunch. 1825 in music again, 1826 contact info, ``comunicad``, 1827
live chat and taking phone calls, from Mendoza? on `Uniendo Voces`
program, discussing weather extremes at Esperanza, like 142 kph winds.
1840 about some anniversary Sept 5. They are really into anniversaries
of whatever. Relating Patagonia to Antártida. 1856 about the South
Atlantic conflict - always got to bring up the Malvinas.
BTW, Mike Cooper forwards an obit for BBC guy who covered that, Harold
Briley

There is a lot else to hear, view and accomplish on a Saturday
afternoon, so I don`t pay much attn to details, but recheck
periodically whether it still be on: yes, 2055, 2157, 2236 but
weakening, last trace at 2245 but not sure if s/off or f/out. But
*2255 cuts back on with CW, as if signing on all over, then music. But
gone again at 2259*. Of course, in SSB with little or no carrier,
modulation breaks are tantamount to sign-offs. After 2300 there is ACI
from Chinese on 15480.
Earlier, Manuel Méndez, Spain caught an announcement:
``LRA 36, at 2001 Juan Benavente announces that next Monday September
4, at 1300 Argentine time {16 UT}, an agreement will be signed to
donate a 10 kW transmitter for LRA 36 that will come into operation in
2024. This event will be transmitted live on short wave, 15476usb from
LRA 36. Video of my log about the transmitter donation news:``

** CUBA [and non]. 13820, Sept 2 at 1506, wall-of-noise and pulse
jamming against nothing, as the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming
Command keeps going against OCB`s well-known? B-season-only frequency.
Jamming is JBA beneath A-23`s 13605. Rather it is jamming something on
13820 with a JBA carrier detected amid. Per HFCC it`s USAGM in Pashto
via KUWAIT at 13-17; also an imaginary Moskva at 07-15. Why would
USAGM ever use a frequency ruined forever by Cuban jamming? HFCC
refuses to list any usage by non-members, tho the members need to know
about them. HFCC B-23 conference is imminent in Australia (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Sept 2 at 1508, RHC S5/S6 of dead air or maybe JBM;
15230 likewise but cuts off at 1509* just as I tune in. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6199.999, Sept 2 at 0630, S6/S7 of music from presumed
pirate Hikari FM, very accurate frequency, I measure here or .998 but
within margin of error from 6200.000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. RF & virtual ch 13, Sat Sept 2 at 2200, KETA of
the OETA network with `People of the North`, a limited series I have
been enjoying among many other travelogs on PBS, and here also on the
Create subchannel. Trouble is, OETA has been scattering it all over
their schedules, and it`s been hard to catch each of 10 episodes just
once. Recommended, anyhow. Great scenery and telegenic hosts. Website
is plugged but it seems complete episodes are not there for streaming,
just 30-second previews:

I`m not travelling much any more, so really appreciate all those
armchair shows (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SAIPAN. 9910, Sept 2 at 1512, Korean at S6/S8. It`s USAGM at 15-17
per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.008, Sept 2 at 2208, VOT English is not off the air,
S9+40/45 into UTwente and with good modulation. 2223 a travelog,
didn`t get the title or subject. By 2230 weakening, only S7/S9, and VP
by 2245. Must be some prop disturbance. Anyhow at 2200-2225 I`m mainly
getting `People of the North`; see OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Thanks this week for financial support from Donald Pearce, N0WMD,
Potomac MD, for a contribution via PayPal in US funds but not
necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com and says, ``Hi Glenn, After a
long hiatus, I’m back to SWLing; Thanks for all you do for the SWL
hobby!``
One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to:

Also, Gary Drew says there is a slight change to the nightly webcasts
on Gary Drew Worldwide:

sometime between 23 & 05 UT rather than 22/06 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 2 at 0634, NO signal from R. Vanuatu after
several weeks` reliability. When this happen, suspect they have
changed to alternate frequency, but no signal at all on 5040; no point
in checking 3945 here, but no signals on its harmonix either, 7890 &
11835, which used to be a great bonus. Yet later, 0920/1104, Ron
Howard and Manuel Méndez confirm it`s back on 3945 but agree the
harmonix have been eliminated! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.482V, Sept 2 at 0548, mystery station is on again
tonight, JBA talk direct at S6 vs S9 storm noise level peaks. Previous
better logs were of American-accented gospel huxter, presumed the same
now. From 0601 to 0615 I check several remotes hoping for better
reception. NO signal at these: UTwente, Missouri, Maryland.
Almost inaudible but able to synch-lock onto carrier, skewed by
various off-calibrations and SDR instability in addition to station`s
own variations upward:
Utah: +520/532 Hz
Georgia: 537/583 Hz; WWV 10 MHz: +0.1-0.6 Hz
KFS California omni: +553/557 Hz; WWV 10 MHz: -0.8 Hz
Bonaire: +569/575. WWV 10 MHz: +3/4 Hz
At 0622 I ask others to try to hear and ID it, in the WOR iog, HCDX,
and even RealDX which normally deals only with after-the-fact analysis
of recordings. NO replies found by 10 hours later!
At 0627 back to my own R75, which is getting it better than any of
those remotes! But still JBA, now 7300.62 apx.
At 0653 on 7300.70 apx. Next check at wakeup 0942, unheard (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
