ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Aug 12 at 1753, LRA36 is on with
music prélude, S7/S9 into Argentine SDR; tnx to reminder from Manuel
Méndez who was already getting it direct to NW Spain at 1747. I mostly
miss the first bihour of KUCO`s opera this week, from WFMT, Bellini`s
`La Sonnambula`. 1757 CW ID. 1758 vocal s/on with multilingual IDs.
1759 temps in July were -30, down to -41.4, winds 10? meters per
second. Conversion factor to mph is X 2.237 = 22 mph. 1803 live intro
of `Uniendo Voces`, staff, Juan Benavente speaking. 1811 will be
carrying `Zona de Fuego` program sometime. Now? -19 degrees. Thursday
was first `Estudio 9` show from Univ. de Quilmes. 1816 kid? or woman
voice with history mentioning 1930y. 1826 new housing built at Petrel
base. 1827 accuses British of destroying Uruguayan/Argentine
scientific, not military base in South Sandwich during Malvinas war.
1832 song. 1838 contact info. 1842 about space exploration, launch
from New Mexico. 1845 there have also been rocket launches for AntArg
bases. 1853 story of an engaged, then married couple at an Anta base.
Still going past 1900+ when it`s time to wrap up and dispatch this
report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9665.289, Aug 12 at 0646, RVM is back on, familiar choral
hymn in English, sung by kids, S5/S7. Its other frequencies are much
weaker as always: 5940.21 at 0638 JBA carrier vs HSNL; 11750.009, at
0651, S3/S4, amazingly close to nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Aug 12 at 0649, HK3QQ is unusually missing, no
keyboard letters in sequence with errors. Despite my frequent logs of
this, it seems no one else is reporting it, except Paul Kemp, May 21
in an FB group; but same was heard on 7092 in 2021y, per HF
Underground, not realizing the `random` letters were really keyborder
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIZUELA. 4940, Aug 12 at 0630, Colombia para Cristo relay
station is missing again tonight, and always? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 12 at 0631, R. Rebelde is not off the air, S9+20/30
but undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6200.00 AM, Aug 12 at 0640, JBA carrier, presumed,
R. Eastern Star pirate. Only other 6200 in Aoki is Tibet for long
hours including daytime like now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 34, August 12 at 0334 UT, area tropo is up with storms
in central OK, not here, boosting this signal into decodability,
KWRW-LD, which is 15 kW ERP from SE OKC, about a block east of I-35,
and between SE 21 & 22 Sts., direxional NW which must help, vs several
other BAD signals. Led by Heartland on 33-1 plus six others matching
rabbitears.info info. Bug is a red heart in LR corner, enclosing an
outline of a cowboy hat (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 13635, Aug 12 at 0658, Turkish music, S9/+10. One of best
22m signals every night, VOT Turkish language service. At 0700 no
timesignal, into presumed news with stingers. Sked all the way from
0600 to 1255 per Aoki. HFCC agrees it`s the only 13635 anywhen, 500
kW, 310 degrees for western Europe, and we lie directly beyond (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2203 monitoring: note that we have
a new time back on WRMI 9955, Sunday 1130 UT. If anyone be already
awake then, please check to confirm and how much jamming. Also there
are two web- and phone-casts-only on the sked to be checked: Saturday
1930 and Sunday 2000.

Confirmed first SWBC, UT Saturday August 12 at 0137 the 0130 on WRMI
5850 - only, and not 7730 contrary to skedgrid, S9+10/20 direct vs
storm noise.

Also confirmed Saturday August 12 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

** U S A. 5130.179, Aug 12 at 0632, obviously the WBCQ experimental
transmitter is back on air. Was last heard on July 26 despite nightly
chex. Novelty music sounds familiar; 0635 it`s Sir Scratchy! So they
are playing `Behavior Night`; good since I missed its normal airing
Friday at 2100 on 7490v. Bad since too much OK storm noise, S9+10.
Sounds like could be more than a few hundred watts now. Will this be
running 24/7 again? Plans to morph Radio Angela into ``R. Trump
International``, yechhh. BTW, `AAAWWW` this week was rerun of last
week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Aug 12 at 0648, TOMBS on WRMI but again with lite RTTY
warble on plus side, whence? Couldn`t happen to a christer guy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 12 at 0642, island music at S9/+10 as R. Vanuatu
continues to amaze with only 10 kW; like this every night when not
relogged (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ASCENSION. 12025-12030-12035, Aug 11 at 2348, DRM noise S8/S9
direct, what`s this? O, EiBi has it, C M Obrecht`s music hour special
from Switzerland, this date only at 23-24 for Brasil. Didn`t have it
on my own calendar or I might have tried a remote to decode it. Others
who did get a DRM display claiming it`s KTWR in Japanese! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIZUELA. Re: ``4940, Aug 10 at 0645, NO signal from the 4940
gospel huxter. Had been very reliable all-nighter. At this time do
have JBA carriers from 4985 Brasil, 4885 Brasil, 4810 Perú (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)`` -- Ron Howard replies:

``Hi Glenn - To tell you the truth, I thought they recently changed
their schedule, as I have noted them off the air a number of times
when I scan by 4940 during the night (0700+ UT). Ron (California)``

I seldom monitor after 0700; assumed anything on as late as 1 am local
would stay all night, but seems not in this case. Also:

Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Aug 10 at 2101: ``4940, no audio, no
carrier yesterday and today in the early morning here in Reinante, NW
of Spain. Confirmed out of the air via Bonaire SDR Kiwi remote receiver``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, Aug 11 at 2348 S8/9+10 of dead air from RHC `Mesa
Redonda` channel, and //6000 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Aug 11 at 2349, RHC Spanish, music, is suptorted/JBM,
S9+10 with perpetual parasites on 11840 & 11860 at S3/S5. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``Cuban socialists no longer believe in Marx... but they can't let him
go. A deputy minister of Economy and Planning in the regime recently
stated that companies lack a figure functioning as an owner...

https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1691521626_49044.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9440, Aug 11 at 2139, R. Cairo, S9+25/35 into
UTwente, whine, crackle, distortion; despite earlier reports that it
was sounding better, but not now. Synch first displays 9440.000, then
9439.994+. Sounds like there are two carriers, but maybe the defective
Abis have two peaks. 21-22 is supposed to be a pause between CRI until
21 and BBC from 22 on 9440. Heard some Qur`aning for a while, it`s the
Fribbath after all, violating Separation of Mosque and State. English
sked until 2245, but by 2150 I notice it`s off, probably a few minutes
earlier. At *2158 new carrier on with tone, weaker S8/S9 on 9440.003,
presumably BBC via Philippines as now sked. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 15050, Aug 11 at 2352, S Asian song, S5/S9 with heavy
flutter. Akashvani in Mandarin via Bengaluru is at 2345-0115, but no
ChiCom jamming audible! To be followed by 0130-0230 Indonesian per
EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 11 at 2025 & 2049 chex on caradio, weak
deadair, no doubt still KOCD Okeene, Spanish religion, as first noted
2 days ago! I bet has been dead ever since, not checked yesterday -
yet another station so out of it that does not care, or does not know
that its modulation has failed -- also speaks volumes about their
listener/fans? if no one alerted HQ immediately (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Another tropo enhancement eastward from Enid, August 11
at 0525 UT: besides numerous BAD signals on ``open`` channels,
decoding:
RF 21, KHBS Fort Smith AR, site in OK! with 40/29 bug in lower right
corner along with sibling station KHOG-TV ``29`` Fayetteville AR on RF
15 invisible here;
RF 28, ION ``44``, KTPX-TV Okmulgee
RF 20, KQCW ``19`` Muskogee
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, VG into Maryland SDR, Fri Aug 11 at 2202, token
English from SNR, with a mailbag bit from someone in Romania, inviting
correspondence to english@rtve.es 2203, news! It`s back after almost 3
weeks admittedly and their first chance to report on the July 23
elexion - but the results are still unclear. There will be another one
on Aug 17? or at least that is when parliament reconvenes. Several
world news items too, but they can hardly catch up with two
sesquiweeks missed. 2208 about a ``painter of light`` in Valencia,
Joaquín Sorolla - search him out but beware that all the images that
show up are not necessarily his. 2215 about various fiestas around
Spain, not necessarily at this time of year, 2224 one in Canary
Islands; 2225 ``burial of the sardine`` but I missed where. Most
hosted by two YL voices, outro as the familiar Amy Egan and the other
someone Quintana. Also heard an unfamiliar OM voice with a canned ID.
Other frequencies unchecked except on the waterfall I could also see a
trace on 17715 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 11 after 2200, VOT English is not off the
air today but first semihour I`m celebrating SPAIN back in business
after summer reruns. S9+40/45 into UTwente, heavy modulation. 2237
``Always by your side promo``, and `Did You Know That?` about a
natural wonder on the Black Sea coast, but I give up trying to
understand the badax. Her canned sign-off and one note of IS before
chopoffair at 2254* - no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALASKA [non]. 13760, August 10 at 0331, S7/9+10 the SSOB far beyond
13790 presumed Algeria, so not the OSOB; pop music, then English ``???
and Friends`` segment about avoiding cons and swindling. 0336 KNLS ID
in passing and next feature is DX specialist Carl Mann, `DX History
for Beginners` about first radio broadcast 1906y by Fessenden, etc.
Has interview and clips of something. 0339 back to music. During this
8 minutes heard nothing gospelhuxtery other than ``New Life Station``
but I`m sure they will get to that after some secular enticement.

I wonder how many beginner listeners know they are tuned to
MADAGASCAR, MWV relay under same WCB ownership? I`m under the
impression that Carl produced a limited number of evergreen `DX`
features many years ago for KNLS, and they keep running thru them over
and over. I met Carl at a DX convention, and later he told me all
about these shows; see
http://w4uvh.net/dxld1637.txt

Per HFCC, this 03-04 broadcast like an identical one at 02-03, is 100
kW aimed 40 degrees toward S Asia, roughly 90 degrees away from
USward, yet we get this outstanding signal off the side? Because the
T/E path to us is so superior propagationally? It`s the closest we get
to antipodal SWBC. Is the earlier hour also of identical content?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Thu Aug 10 at 1740, on a fluke I check
Argentine remote for LRA36, and there it is! Pop music at S8/9+10;
1747 applause but cut to more music. So toward end of a midday weekday
broadcast or start of an afternoon/evening? The latter: 1757 begins
repeating canned IDs, ``la voz de Argentina para el mundo`` among
slogans. Estudio 9, Uniendo Voces, credit Univ. de Quilmes and
individuals. Continuous musical background during talk, self-QRM, why?
1807 into programming; 1815 IDs, music, etc. Checked direct now:
absolutely no signal, as usual. 1823, ``Con el viento al sur`` song
title. 1829, promotion of Univ. Quilmes activities. Suddenly chopped
off air at 1838* as she is about to announce that song again. Never
comes back in next semihour as I let SDR run while I attempt to nap.

I was dodging storms last Saturday Aug 5 and never got to check for it
then. Meanwhile a very interesting exposure of its true mission:
promoting Argentine imperialism, remember Malvinas! BBC Monitoring
later translated it and it`s via Mike Cooper in the WOR iog. But first
via Chris Greenway, Aug 2, WOR iog:

[WOR] ``Argentine news agency reports modernisation of LRA36 --- The
Argentine state news agency Télam has carried this article on the
renovation work that's being taking place at LRA36, making clear the
very political goals of the station.`` [and with illustrations]:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9665v, Aug 10 at 0636, NO signal from R. Voz Missionária,
which had been a very reliable all-nighter. Wolfgang Bueschel also
noted it missing earlier. At 0638 I still detect its other always
off-frequency JBA carrier circa 5940.21 in the splash from 5935 WWCR.
Not sure about its third outlet, 11750v; not noticed but not sought
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIZUELA. 4940, Aug 10 at 0645, NO signal from the 4940 gospel
huxter. Had been very reliable all-nighter. At this time do have JBA
carriers from 4985 Brasil, 4885 Brasil, 4810 Perú (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 10 at 0644, R. Rebelde is ON, S9+20/30. Was
reported absent last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 15720, Thu Aug 10 at 0339, RNZP closing
French segment till next week, a bit of drumming, then English about
air bubbles in Netherlands. I must pause more with RNZP as they have
VG programming, and usually VG signal like this S7/S9; the SSOB except
for 15230 Cuba, S9 but it`s JBM; only thing else is weak JBA 15195
surely NHK.

However, RNZP website shows French news today at 10:30-10:45 am =
2230-2245 UT Wednesday, and available among other Paclangs;
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/programmes/pacificlangaugesnews

Guess what, the schedule for local Thu 3:30 pm shows no French:
``3:30 PM. Champions of the Pacific --- A weekly sports show exploring
the triumphs, struggles and passions of the Pasifika athlete``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6200 AM, Aug 10 at 0642, JBA music presumably from
R. Eastern Star pirate now that he has upped power (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9955, Aug 10 at 0627, TOMBS on WRMI vs quite
audible Cuban pulse jamming, which is liable to hit 9955 anytime
whether or not exilish or even Spanish. And who is the successor
huxter to Scare? At least his stuff is not two decades old (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2202 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday August 10 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+10 direct.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 10 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+20/30
off the back to Georgia SDR; Bonaire was busy.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 10 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/15
into Virginia SDR.

And Wolfgang Bueschel reports, presumably via remote, Aug 10:
``9395even USA Glenn's WoR at 01.30 UT S=9+40dB powerful signal, R
Saxonia DX item, 01.41 UT``

WORLD OF RADIO 2203 should be available circa 0100 UT August 11:

(mp3 stream) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2203.m3u
(mp3 download) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2203.mp3

Or via http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
Also linx to podcast services.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6023.32 approx., Aug 10 at 0640, JBA carrier. Might be
some local birdie, but worth further checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7572 approx., Aug 10 at 0630, ``bonker`` in the absence
of 7570 WRMI. Never noted it QRMing RMI when on, however. It`s like an
anvil, sending V over and over, part of the time with an extended DAH.
What is this, anyway? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
