** CANADA [non]. 7488.871, July 2 at 0200, ``Canada D`Eh`` special by
Uncle Bill and Fred Waterer on WBCQ, a fun show of comedy and tunes; I
listen first on the `7490` webcast but it craps out at 0217 so I
hasten to Area 51 webcast, but it`s some other music! The special was
supposed to be on both 7490 & 6160. Then I bring up the Maryland SDR
to find that 6160 is not even on the air, but it`s getting 7490. A few
minutes later I can go back to the 7490 webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

The 7490 webcast crapped out again about 0253, but I still had the
NA5B remote running. 73, Glenn PS: I also plugged it a few minutes
before on the first WOR broadcast at 0130``

online after being away since Thursday afternoon, eQSL will be coming

simulcast, yes. Appreciate the plug, will be getting to eQSLs in a few
hours. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for everything.

Glenn, we don't have serial numbers for these, but you are the first
one. Enjoy. 73,``

``Thanks for listening, Glenn --- After almost 43 years in the hobby
it's odd but fun to be on the Sending side of QSLs rather than the
Receiving side. Cheers, Fred Waterer

** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [and non]. No activity on ``Hurricane Watch
Net`` frequencies of 14325-USB and 7268-LSB, July 6 at 0126 and
earlier. BTW, there is a hurricane across Cuba toward Florida (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.9-AM, July 6 at 0110, JBA pirate music,
presumed usual Nowhere Radio on this exact frequency. As here:

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Nearby NDB check July 6 at 0130 UT: confirmed
ON: 515 PN Ponca City, 350 RG OKC, 341 EI Enid, 332 IC Wichita KS. I
am getting these much better S/N on N/S shortwire than on E/W
Wellbrook which is supposed to be lower-noise. Still off: 255 SW
Stillwater (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 5 at 2200, REE intro by Justin Coe does
not mention a mailbag segment coming up, but there was one reported 3
weeks ago; irregular? VG into Maryland SDR. BTW, Alison Hughes was
said to have taken early retirement (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, July 6 at 0128 UT, maybe my line noise is
abating a bit altho I have not heard from OG&E; two 25-watt Kansas
NDBs colliding, but with slightly different periods almost alternating
for one iteration: CA in Newton/Harvs to the north, and ULS Ulysses to
the NW. Classaxe.com shows respective periods are 6.27 and 7.41
seconds.

Harvs is a strange name, and not even in my large scale Rand McNally
atlas, but distancefromto.net locates it not near Newton at all, but
NW of Lyons and ENE of Great Bend. From there it is 174 miles to
Ulysses in the SW corner (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28206.3-CW, July 6 at 0054 UT, VVV DE KM4NBB/B. Some more CW
followed I did not copy, and I thought it was KM4NB/B, missing a B,
and about 28206.1, but listed as such by WJ5O at qsl.net:

``28.2063 KM4NBB C MURRARYVILLE [sic], GEORGIA # 5W, VERTICAL New 19
September 2020`` - and his page at QRZ.com says:

``KM4NBB USA flag USA, William E Stephens, Murrayville, GA 30564 USA
10 Meter Beacon 28.206300 MHZ Grid Square: EM84BM - If you hear this
beacon, please email QSL to the address below Email:
william@williamestephens.com Thank you``

There was also some Spanish phone USB QRM this low in the 10m band.

More strikeouts seeking sporadic E FM DX 88+ MHz, but MUF at least up
to 28+. Another relogged many times:
28281.2-CW, July 6 at 0057 UT, DE W8EH, i.e.:

** U S A. 9395, July 5 at 0205 tune-in to WRMI for Texas R SW 4th of
July special - patriotic speech by YL in progress, not music yet;
illegible notes; 0213 Ray Charles: America the Beautiful; 0222 QSL
offer in OM voice and intro next tune, Springsteen: Born in the USA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 6 at 0124 still no signal from 500 kW WLCR via
WBCQ, and I guess there will not be for a while. Update on this via
Mike Terry: ``[WOR] WBCQ "Big Tube" a write-off --- Allan Weiner
@AllanWBCQ · 4h Trials and tribulations. Searching for a TH576 tube,
or equivalent, to get the mighty 9330 back on the air. Classic WBCQ
still going strong on 7490/6160/3265 khz. The free speech goes on!!
The big tube went to air while on the air. All burnt up and not
rebuildable. Sad $ 200k loss. (Twitter 5 July 2021)``

Well, isn`t the thing insured or under warranty? Anyhow, out of pocket
of the wacko Egyptian billionaire (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1360, UT Mon July 5 at 0022, I`m tuned to the KiwiSDR in
Philadelphia for the publicized 4th of July special DX test from WNJC,
Washington Twp - of several in NJ, the one near Camden and hence
Philly. I`m hearing a tone at S5-S6; 0023 singing jingle ID ``WNJC
13-60``; Star-Spangled Banner in Jimi Hendrix style, but not quite?
Mixing in a few notes of Taps; then VVV VVV VVV DE WNJC in Morse code
- not CW but tones on AM carrier. WNJC calls repeated over and over, I
lost count after eleven, maybe for a minute; 0028.5 sweep tones
upward.

I had no chance of getting it direct, but wanted to hear and confirm
what was going out. Despite proximity, hardly a local-quality signal,
altho it was dominant on frequency. Night and day coverage maps at
radio-locator.com imply the low-power night pattern axually has a
better lobe into Phila. than the higher-power day pattern. Strangely
enough, 24 hours later, I have seen zero reports of this on the NRC or
IRCA lists; maybe I should tell them that at least I for one heard it,
albeit remotely (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, July 6 at 0117, WTWW-2 with Ted saying he`s about to
play a 4th of July special of patriotic American music, recorded last
night, which failed to air ``because a cow stepped on a cable``. Very
distorted modulation tho and I shan`t listen. The carrier is also
jittering slightly, checked with BFO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 6 at 0122, WRNO is AWOL again. Usually was quite
strong lately when active (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5179-USB, July 6 at 0119, 2-way in colloquial Spanish,
one quite strong S7-S9 with ``engine noise``, mentioning quantities of
something measured in ``kilos``; which is nonsensical; kilowatts,
kilojoules, kilogallons, kilograms, kilomiles?? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 24000-27000 kHz, July 6 at 0104-0107, complete bandscan
for anything interesting as sporadic E is bouncing in CB 27+ MHz and
some 28+ MHz beacons. Still no broadcast auxiliaries, but some 2-way:
26315.1-AM, July 6 at 0104, contact maybe offset on 26314.7-AM.
26565.3-AM, July 6 at 0105, very strong signal just as it goes off
26583.4-AM, July 6 at 0106, Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
