** CHINA. CNR1 jammer check, July 30 at 1343: S8-S6 of Chinese on
13130; but only JBA or JBA carriers on 13530, 13020, 12850, no others
in the 12s-13s nor 16s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, July 30 at 0614, RHC English, S9+10 at first seemed
dead air, but then JBM with no buzz. 6000 & 6165 & 5040 are off,
leaving only 6100 sufficient. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 7435 & 7335, July 29 at 0619, R. Martí is off
again; apparently the unrest in Cuba it stirred up has subsided. Since
at least July 12 it had extended past previous midnight closing at
0400 UT, presumably all-night until new day start at *1000. But pulse jammers are still running on 7435 & 7335; and as for 40m
hamjamming, similar noise against nothing on 7215 and 7157 only,
rather than several more amorphous peaks as before (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, July 30 at 1602 past 1620 on random caradio chex,
dead air from KIMY, gospel huxter in Watonga; still so at 1729 UT.
Standard inquiry? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU [non]. Replies to my report on 5800 WRMI special, July 29 at
0300-0400: ``Regarding Perú le canta a las Américas, Not sure what to make of the squeal being described, I briefly
monitored over 20 SDRs at various locations during the broadcast and
did not note this although other audio quality was variable depending
upon location. We'll see what comes in from the other reception
reports. The conversational part of the program was a three-way Skype between
Lima, Peru, Durango, Mexico and Chicago USA. The best audio available
in that situation was going to be good telephone (vs studio) quality,
but the locations were authentic. The music was added later in the
mixdown, which accounts for the difference. Our upcoming special for
México in September will be a similar situation, with two locations in
México. This producer will agree to disagree on the question of "more music,
less talk". Those fully fluent en español received some cultural
context to the bicentennial as well as about the songs and artists
themselves, and although that is admittedly not always to the taste of
all listeners, it is here - context - where radio can still add value
to music in a world where most listeners can just as easily pull up
songs on the Internet with better audio quality. The promotional support as always is highly appreciated. --"Uncle
Bill" Tilford, Chicago, Illinois`` ``The "squeal" problem with WRMI's 5800 kHz transmitter is real.
although I'd describe it as a "warbling whistle." On my SDR waterfall,
there are two unstable audio traces around 2 and 4 kHz from the
carrier on both sidebands. These have been noted consistently during
the Europirate relays organized by Texas Radio Shortwave the last few
weeks. As Glenn mentioned, this is almost certainly caused by a
problem with the transmitter's modulator. 73,
Andy Robins, Kalamazoo, Michigan USA`` ``Does that turn up at just some azimuths maybe? Perhaps we'll find
out soon`` -- Tilford There is only one azimuth ever scheduled for 5800: 160 degrees, same
as 4980 and 9955 (gh) ``Hola Glenn, Muchas gracias por tu reporte, hasta ahora hemos
recibido 14 reportes, tuvimos muy buena cobertura a nivel mundial.
estamos muy contentos, y te agradezco mucho tu promoción, yo mismo la
escuché en WOR la semana pasada. Tu informe es muy críitico e interesante, te cuento, tratamos de
imitar el estilo de las emisoras tropicales de los años 70, la voz
femenina que nos acompañó es la de mi ex mujer. Hicimos este programa
para divertirnos y honrar al Perú en su bicentenario, yo soy
historiador especializado en las relaciones diplomáticas entre Perú y
México. Te mando tu verificación junto con un abrazo`` -- Alejandro

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 7310, July 30 after 2200, RRI in English to
Europe also reaches Maryland SDR just fine. Also weaker on 5945. Too
much piles up at this hour, also Turkey on 9830, Spain on 17855 M/W/F;
hard to choose which or keep switching around (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565-CW, July 30 at 1349, HIFER beacon repeating ID K6FRC
over and over quite readable vs CODAR; before retiring I had tuned to
13564-USB to remind me to check this first thing in morning. Claiming
only 1.8 milliwatts from Patterson CA, any relog of K6FRC remains
notable, and certainly not every day, but never very far from 1400
making me wonder if it really run constantly. Seldom heard are any of
the dozens of other such beacons listed on the 13550-13570 ISM band
