** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, July 8 at 1427, no signal here from LRA36, as sometimes achieves over mostly-water path from Esperanza to Enid, so is it still active Wednesdays around 1400-1600v? Yes, checked Pardinho, Brasil KiwiSDR at 1541 to hear W&M chat in Spanish -1550+, 1552 ``Nacional`` jingle, 1555 credits and ID; but poor and hashy QRM, local at rx site? Hard to tell with that but own modulation may also be defective (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey July 8 at 1358: nothing below 13560 except 12880 & 12870 S7-S9, JBA on 12820. 1359 quick check above and below 11 MHz at 1359 finds only 11100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 4765, July 8 at 0100, no signal from Radio Progreso, nominally 0030-0400. Mark Coady, Ont., also mentioned not hearing it in his July 7 report but without a specific date and time, assuming that was due to poor propagation. But something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5040, July 8 at 0545, RHC in wrong language, still Spanish instead of English so not // 6000 JBM, 6145 undermod, and 6100 best, plus second harmonic 12200, S9/+10 at 0553. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, July 8 at 0548, at first seems XEPPM is AWOL, no signal, but then a JBA carrier and offset-minus, so probably it but QRP, exciter only? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 11769.904V, slightly unstable, July 8 at 0554, guess what, VON is trying a third frequency for the 0600 Hausa broadcast, instead of 7254.9 or 9689.9, both of which have been heard recently but vacant now. Or a mistake? This is normally its evening channel only. HOA-type music at tune in; 0558 IS of drum and flutish; 0600 first spoken word is ``Nigeria``. This is the SSOB, equivalent to 12200 Cuba harmonic, stronger than 11895 Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jammer vs RFA via Saipan, and much stronger than 11835 Vanuatu harmonic. What`s next, 15120? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 89.5, July 8 at 0240 UT and beyond, still there at 1550, strong open carrier with $ tereo pilot on, encountered as I am fruitlessly bandscanning for sporadic E DX since there`s a 106 MHz MUF spike around Wyoming. 89.5 is one of our few almost-open frequencies. Nearest full-powers are KWGS in Tulsa and KHCD in Salina, but there is no enhancement from other stations in those areas and both are normally inaudible. Perhaps a neighbor`s unoccupied RF feeder? Certainly not mine (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2041 monitoring, next: 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from John Carver, mid-north IN, for a generous check in US funds on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily in US funds as they will convert. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Wed July 8 at 0125, WTWW-2 has Ted asserting it`s ``the real QSO``, after rock music and before Jesus plug; 0136 recheck Tedad for power supplies, and another Jesus plug. If this is ``QSO RADIO SHOW LIVE TUESDAY 8 PM CENTRAL ON 5085`` per http://wtww.us/pages/schedule.php he`s veering it way off-topic. 5085 is already off at 0544 check; sometimes runs later than nominal midnight CDT close. This page also presents a totally imaginary multi-lingual 24-hour schedule for 15810! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1556 UT July 8
