** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, LRA36 publicized a big broadcast for Sat
Aug 29, alternating Spanish and German at 1500-2030, then English at
2030-2200. But: Not a trace from 1500 past 1540 on any Brazilian or
Argentine SDR I can access. Is anyone hearing it anyhow? There has
been a propagation disturbance as long predicted. Note admission of
low power 800 watts. WRTH 2020 said ``1 x 10 kW (operated at 1.5 kW).
F.pl: increase output to 10 kW`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR iog)

Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, replies at 1612: ``Hi, transmission
suspended due to bad weather. Best 73,s`` (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6134.8, Aug 29 at 0554, weak signal sounds like Brasilian
talk, but cuts off air 0555* before I can measure it exactly; presumed
R. Aparecida. Nothing audible on 9630v by 0558 while RVM is audible,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 5939.5, Aug 29 at 0557, music and soon announcement in
Brazilian, sounds like official RVM canned ID, S4 vs S9 noise crashes,
and not too much 5935 WWCR now. Within a few Hz of 5939.500 producing
equal hets, SSB tuned to 5939 and 5940.

9664.808, Aug 29 at 0559, Brazilian talk at S4-S6 from
always-off-frequency RVM. Only ZY audible now on 31 or 49m (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 29 at 1352: none higher than 12880
JBA carrier; also 11460, 11170, 11150, 11120, 10960; 10160 trace of
Chinese; 9215 S3-S5 of Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13820, Aug 29 at 1315, noise jamming where there has been no
RM since March. Something`s always wrong at DCJC. Also jams its real
frequency 13605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, Aug 29 at 1315, RHC on here but not 13700 and no
spurs, with report on COVID-19 statistics in Cuba by provincias,
municipios, barrage of figures I don`t try to copy but I think he said
the mortality rate was under 3%; from echoey venue.

Still no 13700 at 1352, but by 1454, 13700 is on and 13740 is off.
Nominal skeds for these two: 13700, 13-15 to San Francisco; 13740,
11-14 to Buenos Aires, but not noticeably weaker here. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9v, Aug 29 at 0602, VON is AWOL again, and not on
9689.9v either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1070, Aug 29 received this reply to my report of the WCSZ DX
test: ``Hi Glen[n], Thanks for your report - it confirms your
reception of WCSZ on August 22, 2020. This was non-DA, at 50 kW the
entire time. They were DA daytime until about ten years ago, when that
equipment was removed. Three towers at night, aimed at the ocean with
Greenville [SC] in it's main lobe. Indianapolis kills them in their
fringes at night. Al Hajny`` --- that`s it, no eQSL attached.

S.S. is an ~8K suburb on the NW side of Greenville. My Collins Gem
pocket dixionary, originally owned by G. B. Hancock for a 5th hour
French class, says souci means: care, worry, anxiety, solicitude,
marigold; but Google says the expression, without any of those =
carefree. The Arizonans skipped the French for their Carefree, as Paul
Harvey used to remind us, north of Phœnix, presumably a retirement
community (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Aug 29 at 0606:
