** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, June 26 at 0626 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watt ND beacon at Sioux Lookout, Ontario is JBA vs horrible summer storm and line noise levels; and so is 332 MCW kHz, QT, 1000 watts at Thunder Bay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. 6070, June 26 at 0535, S9+10 of dead air from CFRX; and so is 6185 XEPPM at S9+19/20 -- the only SW stations left in Mexico & Canada self-silenced; unusual for CFRX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHILE. 28428 USB, June 26 at 2141, CA2YWW calling CQDX repeatedly with clear fonetix. He`s JBA and the OSOB, not even beacons, except for some digistsuff near the low edge. CA2YWW Chile flag Chile, WhatsApp +56 9 9920 4564, Jose Rafael "Rafa" Reyes Arancibia, Calle Onel 620, comuna de CALLE LARGA REGION DE VALPARAISO, Chile, per QRZ.com where he also illustrates some of his colorful QSLs. Then I check longer bands: no activity on 12 or 14 mb, a few on 16 mb; 20 mb unchecked but FYI anything below 14286 kHz = 21 meters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 17560, June 26 at 0013, two CNR1 jammers with echo, per EiBi vs VOA Mandarin via Philippines this hour only. S4/S6 the SSOB by far, virtually the OSOB with little else on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, June 26 at 0026, HK3QQ with usual slow letters in keyboard order except for errors, as I usually log much later including tonight again at 0511 when stronger. Does this run 24 hours; and why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, June 26 at 0008, RHC Spanish news at S9, morning/afternoon frequency still running, not turned off at 2030 after French? or maybe Sunday Esperanto to 2100? // also now: weaker 15230, stronger 11760; 11850 suptorted as usual, and 9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12000, June 26 at 0502, RHC English JBM at S5/S9 on 2 x 6000 where it`s much stronger and undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, June 26 at 0505, RHC Spanish still on at S9+20. Aoki says -0400; EiBi says -0500 and irr. English for two more hours, as I have often reported; but no extras heard after 0600 tonight. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, June 26 at 1436, RHC is S9 but JBM, while 15140 is S8/9+10 with sufficient modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, June 25 at 2150, R. Cairo, S9+45 into UTwente, modulating English but with big hum, not off the air; something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, June 26 at 0536, S9+10/20 of dead air from XEPPM; and so is 6070 CFRX at S9+10, the only SW stations left in Canada & Mexico self-silenced, but not unusual for XEPPM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 9550 // 11620, UT Mon June 26 at 0021, RRI English starting Romanian LL, good on both. Was checking 9550 for R. Boa Vontade, Brasil, which others report but I never hear; despite ``24h`` per Aoki & EiBi, not even a het as EiBi says 9550.1; and not ``Ventade`` as in Aoki. I think RBV must be on limited daytime-only sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11735-11740-11745, June 26 at 0504 harsher-sounding DRM noise, S7/S9. Scheduled 0500-0530 only is RRI Galbeni in French to France (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9670, June 26 at 0022, music S3/S5, sounds same as TOMBS on 7570 WRMI; as Channel 292, GERMANY, fills much time with that tho not specified as such on sked which shows only a few weekly blox of other purchased program time: https://www.channel292.de/schedule-9670-khz/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday June 26 after 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct and almost as good off the back of 15520 ME beam; 17715 for SAm a poor third, and can`t tell if 11670 be on or not. Today`s feature after the news discusses ``LGBT`` rights in Spain, just those four? Of course the rightwing is against them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 25 at 2200, NO signal from VOT English into UTwente, nor for several more minutes: but on at 2228 recheck, S9+45/35. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Confirmed not off the air June 26 at 2200, fair direct but SPAIN is much stronger and easier to understand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UQKOGBANI [non]. 12095, June 26 at 0455, BBCWS sufficiently good with news; 0459 SAH flutter for a few sex by overlapping site change, then somewhat weaker. Aoki shows Oman to Vatican at 0500 but I don`t think so, rather as in EiBi and HFCC, MADAGASCAR, to Vatican. Talata at 315 degrees across Africa carries on nicely USward, despite BBC`s best efforts to deprive us of SW service. After 0500 also // 11810 which is MAD too but 265 degrees so weaker. Would you believe that JORDAN is still pretending in HFCC to be on SW 11810 with 500 kW from 0500? Other imaginary `AKA` entries there on 6105, 7155, 9830, 11995, 15435. Why does HFCC put up with stuff like this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: confirmed Saturday June 24 from 2230:30, on WRMI 15770, S7/S9 into UTwente; at 2241 check S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, best S9+5/10 into Missouri SDR, but sounds undermodulated everywhere. 7730 still off the air and missed checking // 5850: did anyone hear that? [15770 WTFK originally omitted] Also confirmed Sunday June 25 after 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/15 into nearby SDR. NOT confirmed Sunday June 25 at 2130 on WRMI 15770: this new airing has already been replaced by something else at 21-22. Confirmed UT Monday June 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA direct with noise QRM burst override for first 14 seconds. Also confirmed UT Monday June 26 from 0301.8 on Area 51 WBCQ, 6160 -67 Hz = 6159.933, S9+20 into NH SDR; S9 direct vs S9+10 crashes by high storm noise level; after JL gotta go almost on time. Next: 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] Thanks this week for generous financial support from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sent a quarterly seasonal check to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490-), Sun June 25 at 2200, WBCQ webcast not with `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` which has been suspended but still on the sked, rather rerun of Feb rerun of `AAAWWW` of UT Sat June 24 at 0000. Fillers of earlier UBMPs would be preferable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, June 26 at 0024, KVOH not off the air yet, during its one airing of `AWR Wavescan` at 0000 UT Mondays, only S5/S8 now. Still on with gospel music at 0509, now S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265, June 26 at 0507, WINB with S9/+10 of JBM music, sounds same as WRMIs 9395 & 9955, i.e. TOMBS as sked on all, 0502-0658 on WINB: but sked dated June 4 is labeled EST with 5-hour difference to UT; so is one of them wrong, really EDT? But at least WINB carrier is hardly wobbling at all now! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2359 UT June 26
