Hauser
** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA WRMI 9455

** CHINA [non]. 9790, July 26 at 0430, CRI Cantonese S9+40/45 but JBM
with squeal. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, July 26 at 0040, RHC dead air in English? S7/S9 direct.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, July 26 at 0040, Spanish on CRI relay undermodulated
S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 26 at 0424, JBA carrier, presumed RHC per
previous track record, daytime frequency at night, as nothing else is
scheduled. 15230 also still on, JBA, nominally to 0500 tho China also
sked. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also
CHINA [non]

** CUBA. 11850, July 26 at 0425, RHC Spanish JBM, always with
parasitic JBA spur carriers on 11840, and QRMing jamming against
nothing on 11860. 11850 is *never* heard with decent modulation, yet
the incompetents keep running it thus. Aoki & EiBi both say 21-05 via
Quivicán but miss the spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

26 de julio! Time for my annual tribute to The Revolution with a
modified motto: ``Patria o suerte, ¡pensaremos!``, or ``Patria o
suerte, ¡huiremos!`` Once again I invite photographic evidence of
either being scrawled upon any public surface in Cuba, preferably
identified (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, July 26 at 1938 UT, KIMY Watonga has finally
resumed modulation after ~2 days of dead air (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11800, July 26 at 2203, RRI English, VG modulation and
signal S9+45 into UTwente. News about security situation along Black
Sea due to Russia`s war. 2206 sports about a swimmer. 2207 about
severe weather in July, heat alerts up to 42C in shade, hi winds to 90
kph, rain measured in litres per square meter. I wonder what would be
the conversion factor to our ``inches``. 2211 end of newscast, Sports
Club, on 89th birthday of Leon Rachman?, Olympic champion in 1956,
went from wrestling to wrowing. 2214, `Hit of the Day`, a nice song
``Inseparable``. 2217 ID and `Society Today`, 62% have never stepped
in a Museum and only 33% go in once or twice a year. Experts are
worried about figures but not panicked. Musea should actively attract
visitors rather than passively wait for them to show up. 2224 music
break, song called ``Time``. 2227 `Visit Romania`, travel feature
about where to hike in eroded mountains. 2231 `Focus on Romania` as I
started to record for listening later, but somehow it stopped.
Apparently UTwente froze or went offline, still off when I checked by
2320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, July 26 at 2200, no-show of VOT English into
Maryland or UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; so I
take the opportunity to hear RRI simulEnglish on 11800, see ROMANIA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2200 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.
Dear Glenn: confirming World of Radio #2200, This the only time it was
loud and better
reception during past fews days, WRMI:
9395 kHz, 0031, 0045, 0054 (45443), 0059, July 25 [Tue] 73’s,
Richard``

Confirmed Tuesday July 25 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/25 into Missouri
SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday July 26 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -70 Hz =
7489.930, S7/S8 good into Maryland SDR; followed at 2130 by `Plain Old
Doug Show`, music-only, no announcements, he said, but did so at 2144.
Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

No new contributions this week by MO or check in US funds on a US bank

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, July 26 at 0058, RAE multi-lingual IDs, S9+10 direct
but just barely modulated again. 0059.5 cut to canned ``Everglades``
WRMI ID with OK modulation, 0100 rejoin JBM RAE multi-lingual IDs.
Transmitter grid does show 0000-0200 System K at 0100 going from
Japanese hour to Spanish RAE. But bright green System K sked itself
shows 9455, two hours of `Legends` at 0000-0200, except Sundays `The
Mighty KBC`. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.1 approx., July 26 at 0421 direct, JBA music in HSNL,
as WBCQ 300-watt 24/7 test? continues, why? At least the juice bill on
this one would not be a problem, but hardly viable (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Large tropo blobs have developed N and E with Enid on the
edges, so DTV bandscan, July 26 from 0455 UT. BAD signals on RF: 36,
35, 34, 31, 26, 22, 21, 17, 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.

RF8, decoding: KPTS also virtual 8, PBS Kansas from Wichita. Not far
but I rarely get this on my OKC-directed antenna. And it`s in solid,
so I explore all its subs: 8-2 Explore, 8-3 Create, 8-4 Kids. I`m
unfamiliar with Explore, one sub-brand of PBS? Instead of `World` on
OETA-2. I go to the websked, and see some of the same programming, but
others never in OK, like `Democracy Now`! KPTS also offers live video
of 8-1 and 8-4, but requires location info, then denies me as
``outside coverage area``! AFAIK, OETA is not geo-restricted for its
main PBS channel streaming. Could others outside OK in USA and even
elsewhere try it? Claims ``anytime, anywhere`` but despite the
separate 100% PBS Kids on OETA-4, OETA-1 is nothing but kidvid all day
weekdays: https://www.oeta.tv/live/

Ironically, I am not in OETA coverage area right now, 13, KETA ``13``
a bad signal not decoding. Besides local harmonic of KNID 107.1 on
214.2 right in RF 13 video band which is always a problem, tropo is
probably knocking it out with DX QRM. There are three full-power 13s
in KS: KUPK Garden City ``cupcake``, cute satellite of KAKE ``10``, 63
kW ERP; KFJX Pittsburg, 45.1 kW; and WIBW Topeka, 65.5 kW, all per FCC
info.

The only other decodes now are from Tulsa market, axually drawn in
from Muskogee & Okmulgee; 20 KQCW 19-1, and 28 ION 44-1 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. A few weeks ago, two of my favorite streaming stations from
my homestate of NM, started failing when pressing button on own
homepages: KUNM Albuquerque, but got it to work on Winamp; KSFR Santa
Fe not even that way. I dislike streaming aggregators, but finally try
that for KSFR and do get it via
https://onlineradiobox.com/us/ksfr/?cs=us.ksfr&played=1
in `Map Is Not Territory`, with The Invisible Man, UT Wed July 26 at
04-06. And also anticipate `Beyond Borders`, Thu 15-18 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.141, July 26 at 0641, JBA talk vs HSNL, maybe
English. Nothing listed in Aoki or EiBi, but HFCC shows BULGARIA
on 7300 at 0200-0600, 100 kW at 110 degrees. Possibly TOMBS via
Sofia, tho not typically so far off-frequency, and rather late to
propagate. Nor anything listed anywhere on 7295 or 7305 at this hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7431.55 USB approx., July 26 at 0045, apparent MARS net.
Had a hard time finding the sweet spot for readability due to weak and
intermittent signals, HSNL. Most calls truncated, 5 + two letters.
Mixed with some digibursts. Adjacent QRM from 7435 jamming against
nothing, Martí not there at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9665.043, July 25 at 0642, another direct measurement of
the variable R. Voz Missionária, Camboriú, Santa Catarina, S5/S6 music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. David Crawford, FL, replies again to the 6100
situation, and more, 0138 UT July 25:

Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs July 23-24, 2023 --- I've heard DRM
around 6100 but paid no attention to it on this occasion. So, I can't
draw any conclusions about the presence or absence of co- or
adjacent-channel DRM there during the noisy RHC log. Will check again
here. I've heard that same noisy RHC audio on 9700 once. Tonight 11760
Bauta is the problem, a 40 kHz wide singing blob.

The HM01 spook reawakened at 21Z today, reported on 11635 via UDXF. I
first heard it myself at 2215 on 10715. Usual format, quality. It was
still not there yet at 16 and 17 Z earlier in the day (24 July).

RHC Bauta has been showing up at random times on 9710 or 9650 the past
couple of days, either along with, or instead of, 9535 Bauta. Neither
freq had been used during July. Historically 9710 has been "listed" as
Bejucal, but is all Bauta just now. It will be interesting to see if
RHC Bejucal txs reappear in correlation with the return of HM01, since
they both initially disappeared around the same time in late June.

A curious open carrier was heard on 13740 0430-0448* 23 July GMT, at
levels and flutter fading comparable to RHC 11850 and 15230 at the
time, which might hint at a RHC return to 13 MHz in the works. David
E. Crawford, Indian River City, Florida`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 25 at 1955, RHC English one of few sigs on band;
S9/+10, so I let its droning and music assist dozing for my nap, thru
2000 French, 2031 starting Portuguese, contrary to sked, aimed to N
America? As now per version 16 of WRTH PDF update as of July 23; 11760
& 15230 meanwhile are off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 25 at 2154, R. Cairo, S9+40 into UTwente but
extremely distorted; can recognize as English but not understand.
Tuned to 9440 at first had trouble synching until eventual settle at
.995. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.91 AM, July 25 at 0653, carrier detected,
presumably usual pirate, Late Night Lunatics. I am again plagued by
high local noise level from something other than that ChiCom ringlamp
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9 WBFM, July 25 at 2058 UT, KIMY Watonga is still in
dead air, 21 hours after last check, standard remark --- but it`s in
$ tereo! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.019, July 25 at 2158, VOT English not absent today,
IS & IDs, S9+20/30 into UTwente with overmodulation distortion, worst
in music. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2200,
12-second-late timesignal, compared to CHU, can`t get WWV; jumbled
s/on by badax; news, of Greece wildfires, Turkey helping out; Rhodos
is right next to Turkey: any fires over there? Referendum in Mali
demotes French from national language, now merely a working language.
Several of the 13 major languages are now National out of a total of
70. 2213 going from `Review of the Tuerkiyeish Press` to `Weekly
Commentary` by the badax, something about fashion trends in Africa,
millions of tons of fabric destroyed? I cannot follow the gist with
many of her words incomprehensible, to 2226, then extremely distorted
music. 2231 multi-lingual ID filler reel, always with distracting
music. 2233 more and more distort-music. 2241.5 ``ABYS`` promo. 2242
`Tuerkiye`s Geomarked [sic] Products`, saffron plant from a city on
Black Sea, how it`s cultivated and produced, already finished at 2244.
We guess that it`s supposed to be ``geo-marketed`` as in exported,
unless they mean chips are implanted in each strand to mark them
geographically?? Something`s always awry at Ankara. More distorted
music -- much of it would be quite enjoyable otherwise, tsk2. 2253
s/off as always by badax giving same incomplete and jumbled English
sked as s/on, never mentioning this one. 2254 IS briefly and off
2255*. So I devoted another hour of my ever-diminishing valuable
lifetime to this, why? No 2200 English competition from Spain on
Tuesday, and Egypt`s modulation is even worse. Why not 11800 Romania?
Probably not so much to complain about (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2200 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A. 9275, July 25 at 1724, some nice harmonica music, sure beats
DEJOM complaining about rival Yahwackos; oh, oh: 1728 WMLK ID and back
to DEJOM when he was just EJOM. Only S3/S7, sure doesn`t seem like 300
kW, but a lot better than nothing from 500 kW 9330 WBCQ WLCR. And
about equal to neighbor 50 kW 9265 WINB. By 1940, 9330 is back on and
in S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** BRAZIL. 9665.067, July 24 at 0650, RVM music measured direct, I
think accurate to a few Hz; but earlier at 0508 via Maryland remote,
9665 - 77 Hz = 9664.923. Using sync readouts on remotes, one must be
sure they be calibrated accurately by tuning them to WWV: this varying
within 2 Hz of 10000, no doubt receiver instability not transmitter.
Wolfgang Bueschel took issue with measurements in my previous report,
but seems RVM vary considerably in short term (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. Since Spain closes early on weekends, hardly anything on
16m, UT Monday July 24 at 0033; best is 17565, JBA in Chinese? CNR1
not sked per Aoki & EiBi until 0100 with nothing to jam. JBA carriers
on 17595, 17580, 17495. EiBi & Aoki agree 17595 & 17580 also CNR1 but
nothing on 17495 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non?]. Re my UNID 6100 DRM log, David Crawford, FL
replies: ``gh, RHC Spanish was actually in that mess last night,
checked/heard on 6100 at 0515 and 0605, via Bauta site, parallel 9700
Bauta at first check, with 9700 gone at second check. The 6100 audio
was mostly some kind of noise with low real audio, 9700 was clean.
15230 had a signal on it, probably RHC SPN, but too weak to copy in
cx, which would be via Quivicán site. No Bejucal signal has been noted
since 9 July.``

What I heard at 0534 was nothing but DRM noise; or are you suggesting
that the ``mess`` was not really DRM but some other kind of crap out
of Cuba? BTW, my ref to the DRMRX sked not listing anything on 6100
was really A23, not A22 typo.

6100 checked again July 24 at 0506 into Maryland remote, 0531 direct,
NO signals, AM, RHC nor DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, July 24 at 0040, RHC S9/7 but JBM, ho hum, as usual
where always something`s wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, July 24 at 1949 UT, lower-half bandscan on caradio
finds no Es nor any expected but can`t help but notice dead air from
KIMY Watonga, `The gospel station` - still dead a semihour later
check, 2019. And *still* dead at another recheck 2359 UT. Standard
remark about no one at station paying attention (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.9 & 91.1, July 24 at 1948 UT, the two Air One stations
are not // with separate announcements, rejoining then for music. On
one caradio I cannot tell if exactly synchronized, but doubt it. I
don`t think there were any local contents to the anmts, so don`t know
why they bother.

90.9 is KOKF Edmond/OKC; 91.1 is local KKRD Enid. As long as branding
spelt Air1, WTFDA DB displays 10 of them in OK, 6 of them translators
each with a different primary and KKRD also as a relay: of KYRA 92.7,
unlike any of the others; where`s that? Thousand Oaks CA, why not? Is
that network HQ? Guess not: money goes to Omaha (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 24 at 2200, token English from REE
previews repeat of a 2-parter from last October about Witch-Hunts,
just before Hallowe`en, ``no news since it`s summer``! Had made
special point of listening today for indepth coverage of yesterday`s
national elexion! Fail. VG into Maryland SDR, and other 3 also
audible, 15520, 17715, and with usual squeal, weakest 11670. Over to
simul-TURKEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.009, July 23 at 2227, VOT English is not
off the air. S9+40/50 into UTwente, repeat of the `DYKT` feature about
600-year-old castle voiced by the badax; 2224 ``Always with you``
promo, music; 2234 `New Day, New Choices` about e-waste --- hmm,
electrons are really, really tiny. That feature name I don`t often
hear, maybe only Sundays as promised return next week; I had not been
listening on Sundays because of `UBMP` on WBCQ 7490-, but this week
it`s some drama filler. 2241 song; 2249 different song; I missed s/off
but 2253 IS to 2255*, failing to run an extra hour or two in German,
Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.003, July 24 at 2202, VOT English not off the air
today, S9+40/50 into UTwente. Tune-in during news, as Spain q.v. is
broken, Hallowe`en repeat instead of breaking news anything about
yesterday`s elexion! 2209 `Review of the Tuerkiyeish Press`, over as
barely started by 2211. Distorted modulation thruout, worst during
music breax. 2217* dumps off the air; *2219 back on and off again, now
offset .009, different unit? *2222 back on at .007, different2 unit?
with dead air at first, stays on so brings up modulation at 2223, just
in time for theme of `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring`, which is
about the benefits of persimmons, especially Trabzon dates.
Multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2232 `Did You Know That` by the badax,
about Ottoman Empire WWI peace treaty. 2235 brief dropoffair. 2236
distorted music. 2241 `Always By Your Side` promo and `New Day, New
Choices` different subject than yesterday but missed it. 2246
distorted music. 2251 s/off. 2252 IS.

2256 restart IS with German IDs. 2300 still on with timesignal and
opening German, still going past 2315. 2318, multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2326 off air, but false stop, right back on with music.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. We hear the same program
themes as in English, like `Feeling Supreme` ending at 2338. I wonder
if the German titles make any more sense than English. 2342, `Wussten
Sie das?` Google says original Tuerkiyeish would be ``Bunu biliyor
muydun?`` Entire extra hour succeeds, 2356 IS now with Portuguese IDs,
but finally off at 2401 check, opening frequency for weaker China
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2200 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 23 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+5/15 over CCI
presumed Brighton making medium SAH.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA S5/S7
direct --- but no 14-second noise blast QRM to start; I usually but
not always hear that on 7780 via various remotes.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 24 at 0302 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 -67

** U S A. More replies July 23 to my WBCQ 5130+ reports: Larry Will:
``According to Timtron, the transmitter on 5130v is a BC-610-I putting
out about 300 watts. Lw``

``I have been told that this is being tested 24/7. Maybe this will
prove to be a bone for the hard-core dx crowd, at least during the
daylight hours when it truly will be a difficult catch. In the dx
world, perhaps less truly IS more. --Bill Tilford``

So I do try it direct circa 0025 UT July 24: yes, JBA carrier on
approx. 5130.45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, UT Mon July 24 at 0042, this WRMI-5 is S9/+25 but just
barely modulated, language uncertain, Spanish? Italian? Hyper
enthusiasm smax of a stupid ballgame. Transmitter skedgrid claims RAE
Japanese relay this hour from System K. But System K sked itself
claims Legends. And the separate RAE grid shows nothing at this hour.
Transmitter grid shows Legends not until 0100 on 5050, which indeed is
not on yet. Contradixion after contradixion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [non]. 7305, July 24 at 0047 S9+20/30 of dead air,
obviously USAGM Grimesland `warming up` for VATICAN Portuguese &
Spanish relays at 0100-0200, violating Separation Of Church And State.
?? You see, the secular USG is showing extreme favoritism for one
particular sect. All other gospel huxters could insist on equal
access. Are the Catholix billed for burning an extra quarter-hour of
juice? The finances of this deal would be very interesting; since VOA
also goes out via SMG, it`s an ``exchange``, but I doubt the hourspans
and kW match, let alone the true bottom-line expenses (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9664.837, July 23 at 0527, R. Voz Missionária with music
and ID. So down 64 Hz since last measurement one pentaday ago July 18
at 0627 on 9664.901 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. 6185, July 23 at 1849 tune-in via UTwente, S8/S9 pop song
in Dutch? prior to much-publicized *1859-2104* reactivation of Free
Radio Service Holland. Nothing on 7700 yet, just clix. Also good sigs
of music on 5800 & 5810 but neither // 6185, so other pirates? At
1858, 6185.003 goes to open carrier, 1859 resuming with `CE3K` tones
in music. By 1900, 7700 is on with ID in English. Now 6185 sounds like
two different musix mixing. At 1903, measured 7699.900/907, 6185.014,
and 5790 doesn`t want to synch but occasionally flashes around
5790.277. 1911 frenetic DJ in Dutch with frequencies. Using UTwente
only, I`m on only one frequency at a time, but switching back and
forth, I hear that 6185 and 7700 are several seconds out of synch, so
playouts from separate sites? Only 6185 is a known listed frequency,
for Piepzender in Zwolle, licensed. It seems FRSH wants to remain
unlicensed. In their publicity it looks like the streams from July 26
will be running one real UT hour earlier from 1759, unless conversions
mixed up (Glenn, Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2200 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday July 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+10 but noisy into Durango2
SDR. Later S8/9+15 into Louisiana also noisy.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 23 at 0320 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+10/20 into nearby SDR about 5 minutes into so started circa nominal

direct, no jamming audible. As for the Fri 1430 on 9955 being
replaced: on Sunday at 1430, Wavescan is still running among the three
dozen weekly times scheduled on WRMI. Next:

** U S A. 5130.496, July 23 at 0653, WBCQ again S7/S9 on secret
frequency varying ever upward, music, 0656 DJ mentions ``BCQ 7490``;
0700 canned Weiner ID and WBCQ jingle, and back to hyper DJ. Replying
to my previous report, Bill Tilford, Indiana, says ``I'm not involved
with it, but I have been advised that they are testing a lower-powered
transmitter on 5130`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6095-6100-6105, July 23 at 0534, DRM noise S9/+10.
Nothing listed. RHC AM still appears listed on 6100 at 05-07 but
unheard for a long time. KCBS P`yongyang would be on 6100 AM now, and
does have DRM capability but it`s too early to propagate. EiBi alone
shows Radio France DIGITAL on 6100 but at 0000-0030 only; also not DRM
at 1500-1600 22 July only for MiniTransat Sailing. It seems another
yacht race in the N Atlantic is underway so there should be more such
broadcasts maybe not yet known to what extent. The DRMRX A-22 sked
updated July 22 has nothing on 6100 either. I continue to object to
in-band DRM noise polluting AM SWBC bands. Let them DRM as much as
they wish on fixed utility bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
