** COLOMBIA. 21270 USB, Aug 7 at 2208, 5K3L calling QRZ/CQ making
quickontax in some contest including W2LQC? QRZ.com: ``5K3L Colombia
flag Colombia, LIGA DE RADIOAFICIONADOS DE BOGOTA - HK3LRB, CALLE 125
# 21A - 84 Oficina 201, Bogota 111011, Colombia. QSL: Via LoTW,
QRZ.com, eQSL, Direct``. And here`s why the odd prefix: 5K3L
``Commemorative QSL - QSL Conmemorativa, 205th Anniversary of the
Battle of Boyaca, August 7th - 1819`` [sic; it`s Boyacá and Bogotá],
and yesterday: ``Commemorative QSL - QSL Conmemorativa, 486th
Anniversary of the Foundation of Bogotá, August 6th - 1538``. Nothing
heard about such events on the air. After nosigs on 28 or 24 MHz
bands, first one I hit tuning down from 21450; then back up to CR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA.. 21288 USB, August 7 at 2210, TI5/N4YDU making
quickontax, a contest? QRZ.com does not explain why he be in CR nor
for how long, but page has not been updated for 7+ years: ``N4YDU USA
flag USA, NATHAN G MORESCHI, 225 Lumberjack Lane, Louisburg, NC 27549,
USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5800, Aug 7 at 0630, lite pulse jamming against nothing as
not ``needed`` after 0400 when WRMI ends anti-ChiCommunist `Freedom
Synergy Radio`. However, at 0300 today, JRX in PBrasil was getting it
with no QRM. The other side:

``Unfortunately, Cuba is not Venezuela --- Although el chavismo tried
to mimic Castro's totalitarian methods, it never managed to demolish
Venezuelan society like the Cuban regime did on the island. RAFAELA
CRUZ | La Habana...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1722974743_56448.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.414, Aug 7 at 1911, ME music, no noise,
S9+15/25 into UTWente, same as 24 hours earlier from Riyadh with
surrogate Yemeni service, way off-frequency. BTW, have not noticed the
other Sa`udi on 25m, Al-Azm 11745 for quite some time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 7 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct,
previewing feature about comix, news leading with something about a
delay in investiture in Catalonia as some exile is returning from
Belgium. By 2212 the interview in progress about comic art. Other
three audible: 17715 almost as good, 15390 JBA, but 15520 for ME off
the back is dead air! and still dead at 2215 on S9+10 signal.
Something`s notright at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275.004, UT Wed August 7 at 0352, I remember just in time
to check for the final repeat of the Tue 1230 VOT English, since the
2200 was AWOL. Yes, S9+15/25 into UTwente `with-you-every-hour` promo, 0353 s/off ignoring SW. Something`s always awry at
Ankara. Quick switch to 6165: it`s off already or totally, and quick
switch back to 7275, it`s also off with hardly any time for IS.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 7 from *2200.4, JBA carrier cuts on late
0direct, so expect to get bigsig from VOT English when I switch to
UTwente: BUT no signal at 2239 nor on previous SNAFUs 11795 or 9875.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2254 monitoring: ``9955 UNITED
STATES (Florida) WRMI at 1030. Opening of Glenn Hauser report
confirming that World of Radio IS being broadcast at this time.
Covered topics ranging from 1090 AM situation in San Diego/Tijuana
area to troubles with North Korea SW transmitting.  Also mentioned
absence of pirate YHWH, which hasn't been heard at this shack since
late June. Good signal level but with some deep rolling fades.
Conclusion of WoR 2254 very choppy, likely due to rising sun at the
site in Florida. -- Fair to Good Aug 4 Rick Barton, Sun City
AZ``

Confirmed Tuesday August 6 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 into Peoria
SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 6 at 2343 the 2330 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.004, S9+5/20.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 7 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.000 at S9+5/15 and 3975.002+, S9+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 7 at 2100, on WBCQ 7490 -73 Hz =
7489.927 into Maryland SDR, S6/S8. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, August 7 at 0430, JBA carrier hetting 890 WLS.
Has got to be the hi-power ALGERIA, and a welcome sign of `the season`
coming back, storm and line noise levels low enough to audiblize a
regular. Did not perform yet a total 9/kHz bandscan for more of them.
Nothing on 531, another Algerian spot, but noise level is worse at
bandbottom. However, 891 still audible at 0628! = a sesquihour after
Algiers sunrise today at 0459 per gaisma.com - that`s pushing it but
maybe possible to the west with 300/100 kW. Hope there not be another
off-frequency Cuban here as spoiler. Probably too weak to DF it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOLIVIA. 6145, Aug 6 at 0342, and a couple hours earlier into
Brasília SDR, still no signal from R. Betania, nor ever heard since
first and only surprise appearance July 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9670, Aug 6 at 0254, ``Country Roads`` song during
propagation test by Pop Shoppe Radio on Channel 292, S7/8 direct vs hi
noise level. // 6070, of course, blocked by CFRX. Also audible in
following hour with music from something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27224.56 AM, Aug 6 at 2032, Enid CB pirate back on air,
S9+20 JBM but matchable to 105.5 K288FX translator of KYLV 88.9 K-Love
OKC. Also on 27184.88, slightly weaker S9+15 but merely undermodulated
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PANAMA. 28282 CW, Aug 6 at 2205, VVV HP1DCP/B and long message
follows presumably gridsquare and website ending with .COM, JBA with
fadeouts. QRZ.com: ``HP1DCP Panama flag Panama, RENE IVAN FONSECA,
P.O.BOX 0819-09911, REP. OF PANAMA, Panama`` with photos. Not in WGB
roster on any frequency! 3568 km = 2217 statute miles. Only other
beacon on band:

28160- CW, Aug 6 at 2208, even weaker, VVV DE HP1RIS/B + another long
message ending with .COM 73. QRZ.com: ``HP1RIS Panama flag Panama,
Ricardo I Schwarz, P.O.Box: 0835-00515, Panama Rep. de Panama, Centro
America, Panama. HP1RIS/B, 10 meter beacon, 28.159.5 mhz, 1/4 wave

PNR FJ09ga - #0 (21 Jan 2023) Note: pwr 5w`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA. 21300.08 USB, Aug 6 at 2038, RW1A, Vlad, calling QRZ and
working UStations: after no activity on 28 or 24 MHz bands, and first
signal hit tuning down from 21450. Only one other SSB audible on this
band in tuneacross. Call fonetikaly so no doubt. QRZ.com: ``RW1A
Russia flag Russia, Vladimir Aksenov, ul. Perevoznaya 6/11 of 3.3,
St-Petersburg 190121, Russia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.417, Aug 6 at 1958, no noise but good Arabic
modulation, and way off-frequency. UTwente won`t synch on it from
11935.0 but will from 11935.5, S9+20/30. In case anyone doubt this
still be ``Republic of Yemen Radio``, ID at 2013 amid music mentioning
Yemen and Sana`a. Check direct at 2030, JBA carrier about 11935.4
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 6 at 0333, VOT English not off the air with
music, much better on this INTRUDER frequency aimed at N America than
JBA carrier on // 6165 for S Asia. However, an Indian on `Letterbox`
said 7275 was much better for him.

Re comments on VOT `Letterbox` --- ``The English Section of TRT don`t
appear to understand the difference between someone sending regular
monitoring reports to let them know how their transmissions are being
received in the target area! I have not asked for any QSL. In fact I
haven`t chased QSLs for well over 40 years. Craig Tyson, Perth``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 6 at 2158, no signal direct yet from VOT
English; 2159 a JBA carrier? *2200.4 cuts on late at S9 - of dead air,
vs noise level of S8. Never any mod until 2202* off again, and still
off at 2204, 2219, and also absent at 2233 check into UTwente.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2254 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday August 6 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 direct vs high storm

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Aug 6 at 0332, WRNO in presumed Hindi, YL conveying
address pronoucing numbers both in Hindi and English: P O Box 895,
Fort Worth TX 76101, repeated, and gmail, S9+30/40 direct. I continue
to wonder how well this reach India considerably after sunrise, but
the nominal 20 degree azimuth from Metairie LA should be appropriate,
originally intended only for N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Aug 6 at 0340 music vs HSNL, and JBA music at
0653. Generically IDs as ``Estación 4940`` but now Manuel Méndez,
Spain heard it called ``Onda Corta 4940``. Most nights checked around
0630 it`s absent.

Yet it has an alter-ego which QSLs, thought to be phony: ``QSL. Radio
La Montana 4940 KHz - Arauca - Colombia con QSL elettronica allegata
da radiolamontana (at) gmail(dot)com in 12 giorni per rapporto inviato
allo stesso indirizzo di mail.`` Roberto Pavanello, Italia (Glenn
