![Logs](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/logs.gif) ** CUBA. 15140, Aug 17 at 1831, S5/S7 direct of dead air in Kriyol? from RHC. At least the transmitter is on, that`s half the battle, auguring well for English at 1900? No, at 1932 into Missouri SDR, still dead air at S9/+10 - or maybe a trace of talk with all volumes at max! But could be crossmod from elsewhere. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUATEMALA. 28228+, Aug 17 at 2108, DE TG9TEN/B, very long pauses. WGB list: ``28228.3 TG9TEN/B - Guatemala City GTM EK44mv - #0 (16 Mar 2024) Note: ID + grid - HTX 100 1w into A99 vertical``. No other beacons but lots of phone on 10m now, e.g, q.v. VIRGIN ISLANDS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [non]. 7268 LSB, Aug 17 at 0608, Hurricane Watch Net; good of them to keep far enough away from 7260 R Vanuatu. It seems the NCS has several specific texts with exactly same wording, calling for check-ins with callsigns from affected areas. Or calling for low power or portable stations. Even mentions SW listeners! Welcomes both measured observations and not. 0618 mentions Hurricane Ernesto. Day channel 14325 [USB] will activate at 7:30 am EDT = 1130 UT. This NCS has been N8NIF. More info at HWN.org Then around 0630 two others discuss who will take over: W1ABW, WF4H. Very few of the checkins audible here, just the NCSes. Was hoping to hear Bermuda. 14325 USB not checked until 1813, 1833, nothing heard, and website shows not active at that time. Uplooking calls at QRZ.com, the last two do mention HWN: N8NIF USA flag USA, RICHARD K SEELEY, 1549 ROSEWOOD, JENISON, MI 49428 W1ABW USA flag USA, DOUGLAS H "Doug" HOGE, 15 LAUREL DR, VOLUNTOWN, CT 06384-2015 WF4H USA flag USA, Dwight A Greenberg, 5320 Shadwell Ave, Cocoa, FL 32926 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.825, 27224.51, 27285.17 all AM and approx., Aug 17 at 1820+, Enid CB pirate relaying 105.5 FM translator K288FX of KYLV, K-Love, 88.9 OKC. All are S9, first two undermodulated, third JB modulated. Daily chex had not heard any of these since August 6. I do wonder if K288FX really pick up KYLV direct as it`s flanked by two other Enid translators on 88.7 and 89.1 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.416, Aug 17 at 2017, Yemen Radio loud and clear S9+15/20 in Arabic into UTwente. Off by next check 2130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9930, Aug 17 at 1837, TOMBS resumed on WTWW after missing yesterday, S9/+25 and // 9980 WWCR, equally huge Overkiller, and 9930 running 7 seconds behind 9980. So if you hear something on 9980 and can`t believe your ears, you have 7 seconds to hear it again on 9930, how convenient (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004, Aug 17 at *2157 VOT not off the air, IS & IDs, S9+15/20 into UTwente, not checked direct. 2200 timesignal, date as today and s/on the 1230 on 17620, the only SW broadcast they ever mention despite several repeats including this one. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2201 news leads with forest fire under control; Gaza attax by Israel. 2213 `The Energy Agenda`, record oil produxion in Turkey, statistix. 2217 music. 2221 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2223 song. 2227 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2233 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` repeat about weaving patterns. 2235 song. 2239 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, more music... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17530, Sat Aug 17 at 1814, SSOB S9/+10 English interview on phone with African accents about Nigeria, chopped amid at 1830* for VOA, WDC s/off with YDD once. Beyond me why VOA doesn`t correlate transmission breaks with programming breaks, far from the only instance of this. O, I get it, SW is only an inconsequential appendage to other platforms! HFCC not updated since Aug 12! Shows GB = Grimesland NC, daily at 1700-1830 in English; 1830 switch to Ascension for Kinyarwanda, but nothing heard now since that is M-F only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Finally says US Virgin Islands, even tho none of his calls are specific to there! Says 100 watts.
