** AUSTRALIA. 10125 USB, Aug 11 at 0645, two Oz hams S4/S5 discussing
equipment. Mentioning Sydney, and Damian? name of one of them? This
time at 0652 IDs without fonetix sound like VK2XZL and VK2AKP.
QRZ.com:
``VK2XZL Australia flag Australia, GI SCLANDERS, 49 WARRAH RD, YOWIE
BAY, NSW 2228, Australia``; and:
``VK2AKP/SK2024 Australia flag Australia, SILENT KEY SILENT KEY,
Saviour "Sam" GALEA, 57 FAIRVIEW ROAD, CANLEY VALE, NS 2166,
Australia``
So one of them is deceased. Possibly miscopied one of the letters? Can
also search QRZ.com by names: there are 394 Damians, worldwide!
including 8 in Australia, but none with similar calls.
In late-night bandscanning I always check this frequency, but first
time any phone heard again in ages. Jan 16 at 0756 a QSO in
non-English, German? unID Ozzies last heard Aug 29, 2023 at 0647. I
never hear any other voices on this band.
This is of particular interest, to me, anyway, since the 29m ``30m``
hamband is supposedly for CW/digital modes only, not phone, but
Australia apparently makes an exception (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 9670, Aug 11 at 0350, Texas R SW test with `YROT`
versions, via Channel 292, only S3/S5 and noisy direct = SINPO 25232.
Insufficient for easy listening over here. Others report better
results; it was aimed toward western N America. Station claims 10 kW
transmitter power contrary to 1 kW license (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 7275 & 6165, Aug 11 at 0340 into UTwente, VOT English
missing from both frequencies, as it was for the previous 2200
broadcast on 11785. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Hope they
can get back on in time for the `Letterbox` on Sunday (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2255 monitoring: ``[WOR] World of
Radio on WTWW Today --- Sat, Aug 10 at 11:40 PM --- As expected,
