** COLOMBIA. 21270 USB, Aug 7 at 2208, 5K3L calling QRZ/CQ making
quickontax in some contest including W2LQC? QRZ.com: ``5K3L Colombia
flag Colombia, LIGA DE RADIOAFICIONADOS DE BOGOTA - HK3LRB, CALLE 125
# 21A - 84 Oficina 201, Bogota 111011, Colombia. QSL: Via LoTW,
QRZ.com, eQSL, Direct``. And here`s why the odd prefix: 5K3L
``Commemorative QSL - QSL Conmemorativa, 205th Anniversary of the
Battle of Boyaca, August 7th - 1819`` [sic; it`s Boyacá and Bogotá],
and yesterday: ``Commemorative QSL - QSL Conmemorativa, 486th
Anniversary of the Foundation of Bogotá, August 6th - 1538``. Nothing
heard about such events on the air. After nosigs on 28 or 24 MHz
bands, first one I hit tuning down from 21450; then back up to CR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COSTA RICA.. 21288 USB, August 7 at 2210, TI5/N4YDU making
quickontax, a contest? QRZ.com does not explain why he be in CR nor
for how long, but page has not been updated for 7+ years: ``N4YDU USA
flag USA, NATHAN G MORESCHI, 225 Lumberjack Lane, Louisburg, NC 27549,
USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5800, Aug 7 at 0630, lite pulse jamming against nothing as
not ``needed`` after 0400 when WRMI ends anti-ChiCommunist `Freedom
Synergy Radio`. However, at 0300 today, JRX in PBrasil was getting it
with no QRM. The other side:
``Unfortunately, Cuba is not Venezuela --- Although el chavismo tried
to mimic Castro's totalitarian methods, it never managed to demolish
Venezuelan society like the Cuban regime did on the island. RAFAELA
CRUZ | La Habana...``

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.414, Aug 7 at 1911, ME music, no noise,
S9+15/25 into UTWente, same as 24 hours earlier from Riyadh with
surrogate Yemeni service, way off-frequency. BTW, have not noticed the
other Sa`udi on 25m, Al-Azm 11745 for quite some time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 7 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct,
previewing feature about comix, news leading with something about a
delay in investiture in Catalonia as some exile is returning from
Belgium. By 2212 the interview in progress about comic art. Other
three audible: 17715 almost as good, 15390 JBA, but 15520 for ME off
the back is dead air! and still dead at 2215 on S9+10 signal.
Something`s notright at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 7275.004, UT Wed August 7 at 0352, I remember just in time
to check for the final repeat of the Tue 1230 VOT English, since the
2200 was AWOL. Yes, S9+15/25 into UTwente `with-you-every-hour` promo, 0353 s/off ignoring SW. Something`s always awry at
Ankara. Quick switch to 6165: it`s off already or totally, and quick
switch back to 7275, it`s also off with hardly any time for IS.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 7 from *2200.4, JBA carrier cuts on late
0direct, so expect to get bigsig from VOT English when I switch to
UTwente: BUT no signal at 2239 nor on previous SNAFUs 11795 or 9875.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2254 monitoring: ``9955 UNITED
STATES (Florida) WRMI at 1030. Opening of Glenn Hauser report
confirming that World of Radio IS being broadcast at this time.
Covered topics ranging from 1090 AM situation in San Diego/Tijuana
area to troubles with North Korea SW transmitting. Also mentioned
absence of pirate YHWH, which hasn't been heard at this shack since
late June. Good signal level but with some deep rolling fades.
Conclusion of WoR 2254 very choppy, likely due to rising sun at the
site in Florida. -- Fair to Good Aug 4 Rick Barton, Sun City

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, August 7 at 0430, JBA carrier hetting 890 WLS.
Has got to be the hi-power ALGERIA, and a welcome sign of `the season`
coming back, storm and line noise levels low enough to audiblize a
regular. Did not perform yet a total 9/kHz bandscan for more of them.
Nothing on 531, another Algerian spot, but noise level is worse at
bandbottom. However, 891 still audible at 0628! = a sesquihour after
Algiers sunrise today at 0459 per gaisma.com - that`s pushing it but
maybe possible to the west with 300/100 kW. Hope there not be another
off-frequency Cuban here as spoiler. Probably too weak to DF it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
