** CHINA. 15800, Aug 16 at 0627, JBA carrier. Presumably CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope; I was thinking maybe the lowpower in Denmark which I have never traced, but that`s really on 15700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Aug 16 at 0634, S9+15/25 of dead air in Spanish, fourth night in a row of R. Rebelde quietude. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE [non]. 13735 & 7340, Aug 16 at 1511 direct and 1524 into UTwente, no signals from Mini TransAt marine weather. Rather, UTwente shows a JBA S6 carrier on 7340.008. EiBi and Aoki show that would be PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi in Kazakh, from East Turkistan, std denunciation. Canary SDR antenna must be disconnected. No signals to Bermuda either. I had no better luck Aug 15 during same hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUADELOUPE. 21223 USB, Aug 16 at 2208, FG5GP with pileup, quick contacts including an EI+ from Ireland; power 200 watts. QRZ.com: ``FG5GP Guadeloupe flag Guadeloupe, ALAIN ROBERT, 14 LOT LES COLIBRIS CONVENANCE, 97122 BAIE MAHAULT, Guadeloupe`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6938 USB, Aug 17 at 0039, JBA talk, 0040 song, S7 = HSNL. These say it`s Goat Herder Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,132627 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Aug 17 at 0038, yelling rock music, S8/S9 vs high storm noise level. Many logs here as Thunder Chicken Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,132626 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PANAMA [and non]. 28282 CW, Aug 16 at 2202, JBA beacon starts with HP-, all I can copy, but no doubt HP1DCP/B, as logged Aug 6 at 2205. The OBOB as our F2 Panamá pipeline resumes. Also one phone on 28430 USB with extremely colloquial Brasuguese, CQ 10, could not copy his PY- call, about double the distance of Panamá (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 16 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG S9+20/30 direct and the other three audible, preview interview with an American expatriate who is also a local official in Madrid, where he has stayed because of girlfriend. 2201.5 news starts with M-pox spreading to Sweden, Pakistan, from DR Congo. 2225 he muses on good and bad aspects of living in Spain - watch out for false-friends, like ``constipado`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 16 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS & ID in English, S9+20/10 direct would be sufficient if one upput with local noise level. After olds, 2212 `Review of the Turkish Press`; Much better into UTwente, at 2221 in `Folk Tales`. 2227 music, 2228 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2229 `That`s Why`, with Efsun the accentuated; can`t really follow it, but something about the Lira as a unit of weight, currency, but also mentions the constellation Libra - ? 2236 music. 2249 ``always-by-your-side`` again. 2253 s/off ignoring SW, IS once and chop at 2254* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 7495, Aug 17 at 0041 YL in S Asian? language S9/+10 direct about same level as neighbor 7490- WBCQ. EiBi & Aoki show it`s VOA R Ashna in Pashto to Iran via Lampertheim, GERMANY, this semihour only. ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2256 monitoring: confirmed Friday August 16 at 2030 on IRRS ``Shortwave`` via AM Italia, 1322.994+ kHz, S8.5/9.5 into UTwente, following Wavescan and music buffer. Also confirmed Friday August 16 at 2222 on WRMI 9955, S5/S8, no jamming audible, off the back into Maryland SDR, as TWR Bonaire SDR is often tied up. Also confirmed Friday August 16 at 2244 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.001-, S9+10/15 into UTwente. Note that coincidentally, we are at 0300v three nights in a row on three stations, WTWW, WA0RCR, WBCQ - almost four with 0330 on WRMI. Next: 0300 UT Saturday WTWW 5085 [ex 0400!]; 0930 UT Saturday WRMI 9455 to WNW; 1430 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1730 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM [1900/2100]; 2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475; 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500]; 1900 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW [irregular]; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

I did hear 5920 come up about 0101 or 0102, tho George was allowing 3 minutes to make the change. Finally at 2015 I notice 9930 is on the air, but VP signal into the ATS-909 vs noise level. Comes up stronger by 2017: maybe power is being turned up, or prop vagaries. 9475 is even poorer. At 2025 into PEI SDR, 9930 is S6, 9475 is JBA S5. How do their azimuths and lobes compare?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Aug 16 from 2350, into NH SDR: no signal on 3265, but waterfall shows some kind of noise blob 3239-3269, at 2354 jumping down to 3217-3242. 5130 no signal, so we expect a rerun. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 music presumably TOMBS. 7490 -72 Hz = 7489.928, S9+10 with FKB. I keep listening to 7490-, 2359 1-minute-tone-warning and he wraps up quickly, then some `Chariots of Fire` music and WBCQ ID. Aug 17 from 0000, WTO theme and AW talks about ``messing up the airwaves``, which is how he opened last week, see that report and never mind now. 3265 & 5130 still off. Sometimes reruns are disclaimed as such before playback but can`t depend on that, nonesuch this time. I let it run in background and at 0024 notice that there is again OTH radar clickery QRM unavoidably audible, and visible on waterfall covering 7472-7494; one might suspect ``jamming`` or at least some op with no respect for WBCQ. Continues rest of hour, into Hal Turner after 0100. But no OTHR audible direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 889 & 891 kHz, Aug 16 at 0642, JBA carriers flanking WLS. Requires very careful tuning up & down in USB & LSB, no visual display. Therefore presumably the Cuban with spurs, not Algeria on 891 only. However, unheard at 0652. But at 0821 wakeup, 891 audible, a further clue to Cuba, surely too late for Algeria. However, earlier, 891 could still be Algeria and/or Cuba. Also still carriers on 631 and 1141, IDed previously as off-frequency Cubans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0222 UT August 17 _ 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/
