** BRAZIL. 28270.5 CW, Aug 16 at 2340-2347, JBA beacon finally copied after multiple repeats: dash and VVV PY4MAB + more maybe gridsquare: ``28.2705 PY4MAB ? POCOS DE CALDAS, BRAZIL # beacon reported August 2010 coor[d]inated 2 Dec 2021`` per WJ5O roster. It`s the OSOB, no other beacons or phones heard. Es MUF has been way below FM band today, but DXMAPs show lots of multiple-hop Es between Brasil and USA on 28 MHz. QRZ.com:

Aoki shows both as CNR1, from Shijiazhuang and Lingshi 725 sites respectively. HFCC agrees, adding both 100 kW, azimuths 217 and 286 degrees resp., i.e. nowhere near thisaway on short day path. Only other sig on 16m is 17855 Spain still blasting in over mostly night path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also TAIWAN [and non] ** CUBA. 11670, Aug 17 at 0333, RHC in Spanish, not English, S9+10 but quite distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 11850, Aug 17 at 0333, S9+20 but just barely modulated, obviously RHC where something is always wrong. 12000, Aug 17 at 0334, S5/S6 of RHC English on 2 x 6000, quite weak compared to the fundamentals on 25m, but there. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Aug 17 at 0330, MWV amid English hour, no African accent but I guess it`s African Pathways Radio as per EiBi, rather than KNLS programming, S8/9+10 --- No!

WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: almost confirmed Tuesday August 16 at 2230 on WRMI 9955: start ``This is Glenn Hauser with World of Radio...`` then cuts immediately to TOMBS! Was S9+15/20 into Knoxville remote, no jamming yet. Jeff White says the audio matrix occasionally plays wrong audio system, so I guess WOR is still supposed to air at this time. Confirmed Tuesday August 16 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland SDR; but not on 5950 like last week, so I guess that were another mistake.
