** CANADA. 15031 USB, Feb 6 at 1646, Trenton Military, ``no report received`` on wrong frequency! instead of 15034. This implies that a human being mispunched a frequency keypad; yet is oblivious to the total futility and uselessness of these radiations. As always takes a break at :00-:10 & :30-:40. And this at *2110 UT: back on 15031 into VE6JY remote, with another slight problem, time as ``1610 UTC`` instead of EST. Meanwhile this came at 2010:
``Hi Glenn, Yes, the saga at Trenton Military VOLMET continues --- It is observed today that the daytime frequency has shifted to 15031.0 kHz (vice 15034.0 kHz). 15031.0 kHz is a valid MACS frequency, but to the best of my knowledge is still assigned as a "discrete" frequency. That has given me another opportunity to fire off an e-mail to MACS with regards to the frequency, the Eastern Daylight time zone (vice UTC) and the NRRs. I did notice though that there was a couple of valid reports today; Shannon and Keflavik.

Something`s always amiss at Abis. 9440v, Feb 5 at 2150, no signal into UTwente. Something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)`` ```Hi Glenn, No transmissions monitored from Egypt on any of the scheduled times as of January 28. I sent a message to ERU enquiring whether they have discontinued short wave broadcasts. Here is the reply just received: ``Thanks very much for your kind words. I'd like to tell you that we have some problems in the building of the transmission centre of SW radio tx station. Now, we are fixing it. Soon, every thing will go well. Thanks again. Best regards. ERU Eng. Syed M.M`` Unfortunately he is not specific is to what these problems are. Since the two transmitters (plus one reserve) are all off air, I am guessing there may be issues with the power supply to or within the station at Abis.
