** PANAMA. 28282 CW, Aug 6 at 2205, VVV HP1DCP/B and long message
follows presumably gridsquare and website ending with .COM, JBA with
fadeouts. QRZ.com: ``HP1DCP Panama flag Panama, RENE IVAN FONSECA,
P.O.BOX 0819-09911, REP. OF PANAMA, Panama`` with photos. Not in WGB

** RUSSIA. 21300.08 USB, Aug 6 at 2038, RW1A, Vlad, calling QRZ and
working UStations: after no activity on 28 or 24 MHz bands, and first
signal hit tuning down from 21450. Only one other SSB audible on this

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.417, Aug 6 at 1958, no noise but good Arabic
modulation, and way off-frequency. UTwente won`t synch on it from
11935.0 but will from 11935.5, S9+20/30. In case anyone doubt this
still be ``Republic of Yemen Radio``, ID at 2013 amid music mentioning
Yemen and Sana`a. Check direct at 2030, JBA carrier about 11935.4
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 6 at 0333, VOT English not off the air with
music, much better on this INTRUDER frequency aimed at N America than
JBA carrier on // 6165 for S Asia. However, an Indian on `Letterbox`
said 7275 was much better for him.
Re comments on VOT `Letterbox` --- ``The English Section of TRT don`t
appear to understand the difference between someone sending regular
monitoring reports to let them know how their transmissions are being
received in the target area! I have not asked for any QSL. In fact I
haven`t chased QSLs for well over 40 years. Craig Tyson, Perth``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 6 at 2158, no signal direct yet from VOT

off at 2204, 2219, and also absent at 2233 check into UTwente.

address pronoucing numbers both in Hindi and English: P O Box 895,
Fort Worth TX 76101, repeated, and gmail, S9+30/40 direct. I continue
to wonder how well this reach India considerably after sunrise, but
the nominal 20 degree azimuth from Metairie LA should be appropriate,
