** CANADA. 28176 MCW, Nov 7 at 2303, beacon: DE VE3TEN. Not in WI5V list. Unusually, the carrier stays on continuously and between long pauses, ID in MCW = A2 modulated tones rather than plain CW on/and/off.

** EGYPT. 9440, Nov 7 at 2125, R. Cairo, S9+35 into UTwente talking English about Egypt, overmodulated and distorted. Something`s amiss at Abis, but at least there is: something. Entering 9440 into UTwente with SynchAM displays 9440+ slightly, why? Switching 9440 to AM and back to SAM displays usual exact 9439.995 = axually slightly lower but rounding closest to .995 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.005, Nov 7 at 2325, VOT VG into UTwente, S9+25/35 after not getting it at all direct vs my line noise. Atop slight CCCCCCI as usual, ending `Weekly Commentary`; 2320 with-you-every-hour promo, music; 2331 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`; 2333 music; 2337 always-by-your-side, music; 2343 multi-lingual ID filler reel, music; 2352 s/off more accurate than yesterday but incomplete sked voiced by the better-spoken YL than the badax: 1330 13635, 1930 6055, 2130 7285 =wrong, 1730 9660. 2353 IS, 2356 restart IS with German IDs, 0000 opening German until chopoff at 2312.5* uncovering Chinese. Something`s always awry at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 26110 FM, Nov 7 at 2300, tone not fully quiet but definite signal, no doubt KMK282 Stockton/Sacramento. Gone a few minutes later. Lots of 10m CW beacons such as K6FRC on 28300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Nov 7 we have almost record-hi temps into the 80s, and APRS map at 1630 UT shows huge tropo blobs over OK, KS, much of TX as I finally start DTV tuning. Most of the ``open`` channels from 8 to 36 have at least a BAD signal, says the Zenith STB, and some of the ``local`` OKCs are BAD due to DX QRM: RF 13, 18, 24, 25, 27. Some decodes: RF 14 at 1634, 13-1 KERA-HD Dallas with KERA KIDS bug in LR. Rabbitears shows also has 3 subchannels, but when I try to reach them, STB goes to RF 13 OKC KETA 13 instead! No problem surpassing LP OKC on RF14. RF 20, 19-1 KQCW OK is decoding, not unusual with a bit of tropo RF 35, 4-1 KDFW Dallas Fox4 decodes, but again STB goes to KFOR 4 OKC on RF 27 when I try to reach the substations RF 36, 39-1 KXTX decodes but next time I try 36, I get KUOK ``36``, RF 29 Shawnee OK, at 1812, as I head to the car for FMDX instead, and got some from Nebraska to Texas, not yet compiled (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0029 UT November 8 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
