** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 29 at 0125, no signal from RNA and consequently
no spurs. Something`s blacked out at Brasília. Prop is fine as the JBA
signal on 11815 from presumed RBC attests. 6180 RNA is also absent at
0153 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 1010, Aug 29 at 0615 UT, ``News-talk 10-10, Toronto`` ID,
i.e. CFRB, the MW subsidiary of CFRX. Dominating the CCI; checking
whether WJXL FL would rule again: no, even if still beaming west. On
my same E/W longwire. CFRB major lobe at night goes NE; V minor lobes
to SW, but looks like a notch between them thisaway. Maybe now CFRB is
out of order; it is rare here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Aug 29 at 0123, RHC S6/S7 and JBM, even suptorted when
talk starts. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11930, Aug 29 at 0127, wall-of-noise jamming against nothing,
a time of day Radio Martí is never active on this band. A lot more
than the residual jamming after-hours, and furthermore there are
several distinct carriers rather than just noise within 2 kHz above
and below! Something`s always perilous at the persecuted DentroCuban
Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, Aug 29 at 0128, RHC English is JBA on 2 x 6000 which
is S9+45 and also // 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Aug 29 at 0624, only RHC frequency still on, English.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Aug 29 at 0617, VON is on at S7/S9 direct but
undermodulated.

7254.933v, Aug 29 at 1737, VON S7 into Canary SDR in English vs storm
crashes of S9, unusable. Also squealing. Presumably will improve
somewhat if stay on until Chinablock at 1858. Lots of lightning in
nearby occupied Western Sahara, across real Morocco and adjacent
Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Aug 29 at 0115, pirate with rock music, S9
vs HSNL in adjacent counties, still at 0142; 0143, ID ``Radio Free
--`` something?, plugs www.normal.com or I bet it`s www.NORML.com
because followed by mushroom-induced trip musing; ask reports to
radiofree@protonmail.com - did not hear another word after free. Well,
these say it`s Radio Forty8 via Mix Radio International:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Aug 29 at 0115, pirate playing blues, S9
vs HSNL from adjacent counties, still at 0142; 0148 into SSTV followed
maybe by ID, ``This is Midnight(?)`` something? These say it`s Pee Wee
per SSTV ID card if not voice:

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Aug 29 at 0117 UT, ``Old Time Rook `n` Roll``
song, then ``97-7 The Hawk`` ID, 0118 CarShield ad. Sounds in a barrel
like mike picking up speaker elsewhere in the room, not a patch. And
// 97.7 KHRK Hennessey but funxioning as an Enid market outlet
relatively newly to block another DX channel. That`t the third one
this local CB pirate has been caught relaying, after KOFM 103.1 and
KVBN-LP 99.9. Random chex since my last report July 29 had not found
any more activity until now, and when I doubt there be any skip for DX
reception. Still going at 0157+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9550, Mon Aug 29 at 0132, S9+30/45 of Big Band music with
jazz piano, clarinet; 0139 announcement missed but // 7375 which are
RRI French; then torch song, not in English? Alan Roe`s Music on
Shortwave shows it`s `Les tubes du moment` among others at this hour:

** U S A. (7489.9v), Sun Aug 28 at 2300, WBCQ webcast plays fill music
instead of Harry Shearer`s `Le Show`. I usually listen to it here,
staying tuned after `UBMP`, at least when CBS TV `60 Minutes` be in
summer repeats like now, and/or late due to stupid ballgames running
over, like, now: why in the world don`t they have SBGs *start an hour
earlier?! Anyhow there are plenty of other options. Per
http://publicradiofan.com/cgibin/program.pl?programid=60
it`s on several PR stations at this very same hour: I click on the
last one of them, WUWF, and there he goes! Beware tho, PRF is so huge
that keeping everything uptodate is nigh impossible. Then thru that I
link to show website, where one click gets the latest podcast going
https://harryshearer.com/le-shows/august-28-2022/
which I employ to get the first part I had missed on `BCQ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Aug 29 at 0121, S6/S7 of dead air, the SSOB way
stronger than 15720 NZ, 15230 Cuba and hardly anything else. Has to be
WRMI-9 failed to turn off at 2400*. Something`s odd at Okeechobee.
Ahem, WOR playback could make use of that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, UT Mon Aug 29 at 0154, WRMI with `Viva Miami`, Jeff &
Thaïs talking Spanish about Guadalajara and the Mexican DX Meeting at
the end of July; apparently they did not attend. Richard Lemke also
happened to hear this. Per skedgrid, VM at 0145 UT Mon is supposed to
be on 5010 from System D, with something else on 5850 from System F.
Just another contradixion there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, Aug 29 at 0138, gospel huxter in English, S9+50/55
WTWW blasting in: as soon as I mention not having heard 9940 lately,
there it is; nothing about Ukraine. Is this #1 or #3 transmitter?
Could be #1 as 5830 is absent; while #2 is rocking as usual on 5085
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Aug 29 at 0618, RV still absent. Those closer or
remotedly please check if they are on any frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
