** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 29 at 0125, no signal from RNA and consequently
no spurs. Something`s blacked out at Brasília. Prop is fine as the JBA
signal on 11815 from presumed RBC attests. 6180 RNA is also absent at
0153 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 1010, Aug 29 at 0615 UT, ``News-talk 10-10, Toronto`` ID,
i.e. CFRB, the MW subsidiary of CFRX. Dominating the CCI; checking
whether WJXL FL would rule again: no, even if still beaming west. On
my same E/W longwire. CFRB major lobe at night goes NE; V minor lobes
to SW, but looks like a notch between them thisaway. Maybe now CFRB is
out of order; it is rare here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Aug 29 at 0123, RHC S6/S7 and JBM, even suptorted when
talk starts. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11930, Aug 29 at 0127, wall-of-noise jamming against nothing,
a time of day Radio Martí is never active on this band. A lot more
than the residual jamming after-hours, and furthermore there are
several distinct carriers rather than just noise within 2 kHz above
and below! Something`s always perilous at the persecuted DentroCuban
Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, Aug 29 at 0128, RHC English is JBA on 2 x 6000 which
is S9+45 and also // 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Aug 29 at 0617, VON is on at S7/S9 direct but
undermodulated.

7254.933v, Aug 29 at 1737, VON S7 into Canary SDR in English vs storm
crashes of S9, unusable. Also squealing. Presumably will improve
somewhat if stay on until Chinablock at 1858. Lots of lightning in
nearby occupied Western Sahara, across real Morocco and adjacent
Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Aug 29 at 0115, pirate with rock music, S9
vs HSNL in adjacent counties, still at 0142; 0143, ID ``Radio Free

because followed by mushroom-induced trip musing; ask reports to

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Aug 29 at 0117 UT, ``Old Time Rook `n` Roll``
song, then ``97-7 The Hawk`` ID, 0118 CarShield ad. Sounds in a barrel
like mike picking up speaker elsewhere in the room, not a patch. And
// 97.7 KHRK Hennessey but funxioning as an Enid market outlet
relatively newly to block another DX channel. That`t the third one
this local CB pirate has been caught relaying, after KOFM 103.1 and

any more activity until now, and when I doubt there be any skip for DX

** U S A. (7489.9v), Sun Aug 28 at 2300, WBCQ webcast plays fill music
instead of Harry Shearer`s `Le Show`. I usually listen to it here,
staying tuned after `UBMP`, at least when CBS TV `60 Minutes` be in
summer repeats like now, and/or late due to stupid ballgames running

** U S A. 9330.185V, Aug 27 at 2222, WLCR/WBCQ is S9/+10 in English,
and slightly wavering, furthest off-frequency yet. I`m no expert on
transmitters or their drivers, but what I don`t get is why they don`t
come with ``fine-tuning`` capability, just like receivers. Of course
someop would still have to be responsible for keeping them zeroed. Or
why not AFC = automatic frequency control? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Aug 28 at 1415, WBCQ/WLCR is OFF. What`s the problem
now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.9, Aug 28 at 0020, the Akron guy from Summit Radio with
his `Cruisin` the Decade` show on WBCQ. i.e. during one hour, 10 songs
from each of the past 10 decades. He talx a lot about them too and
really seems to know his subject, but limited to the narrow genre of
US pop music, apparently. At 0032 says he`s on 20 stations, mostly AM
& FM including CKLB-FM 101.9 in Yellowknife N[W]T, which WTFDA FM
database shows as a 234-watt aboriginal station, ``The Voice of
Denedeh`` with a country [sic] format; and also with long-range
coverage via SW, Channel 292 in Germany, the WBCQ ``mega-transmitter``
[sic] in Maine, and WRMI; and greets some listeners who heard him on
each. 0035 plays a song from 1982y and reaches the current decade by
0053 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Aug 28 at 0036 & 0054, still no `Theater Organ
Under the Arch` as supposedly scheduled around 0030, rather a ham YL
with Q&A such as, should I ever climb a tower alone? NO (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475, Aug 28 at 1545, NO signal from WTWW-1, once prime time
for Sunday morning disservice by passé Pastor Pete Peters. So is this
transmitter totally out of air, nor 5830 evenings? Nor have I run
across WTWW on 9940 lately, whichever #transmitter that may have been,
the ``Ukraine`` service ``Voice of Freedom``, which also sometimes
used to be referred to on 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [non]. 11835, Aug 28 at 0618, JBA carrier, surely too weak
to be RV X 3, so maybe China now? No harmonic JBA carrier on 7890 at
all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1953 UT August 28

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Aug 27 at 1435 tune-in
via LU4AA remote, nothing yet, but 1441 recheck, LRA36 is already
underway with tangos; 1443 ``más austral``, ``Radio Nacional, nos
une`` canned ID, more music. 1459 sign-on with staff list; talking
about Patagonia. 1501 another sign-on, the multilingual one; 1503 the
Antártida song.

1505 the LU4AA remote craps out, can`t access it anymore, so try all
the others in Argentina, Uruguay, Brasil. No LUs as good as 4AA was.
Best left is PT2HFC, Brasília #1 which employs Arnie`s favorite
antenna, T2FD: Tilted Terminated Folded Dipole:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T2FD_antenna

1510 music, 1512 ID, music, live greetings by YL to the 18th program
of 2022. 1514 mentions ``día de la radiodifusión``, today = 102nd
anniversary of broadcasting in [my joke] Alta Antártida = Argentina,
as previously publicized to be celebrated all weekend by 49 or 50
stations nationwide. 1521 fade-out, or off?

1535 resuming with sign-on ``A partir de...``, brief extraneous talk
like 2-way QRM? Back to YLs, mentioning something happening in 1952y,
history stuff. 1537 contact info platforms, 1538 music. 1541 refers to
27 de agosto de 1920; 1546 tango. 1549 about ``Horacio Guarany``
[pseudo.], Argentine singer *1925-2017*
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horacio_Guarany
https://youtu.be/1ZaRCC_e3W0

YLs chatting, becoming JBA, 1552 joined by OM voice. 1603 best
reception now via Pardinho, Brasil with a G5RV antenna.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G5RV_antenna

At 1609 I notice that Bruce Churchill, Carlsbad CA, is also on PT2HFC
SDR. Off by 1611, just as well as since 1606, I`m mainly listening to
KUCO for `The Score`, this week filmusic from summer blockbusters.
Missed first airing Friday at 19-20 UT while out & about. BTW, at 1650
briefly some tango-like tune there.

Bruce Churchill later reports: ``So, LRA-36 15475.98 on this morning
at 1540 tune with nice S3 signal from PT2HFC SDR in Brasilia – woman
commentator, ID’s by man (probably recorded), usual good Argentinian
music. ID by man at 1616 and then nominally off (although a strange
music segment for about 5 sec or so was heard at 1617) and then xmtr
shutdown. Signal faded to S2 after about 1550-1555. Checked my
favorite Iceland site at Bjangtangar, but nothing heard there.
Normally LRA-36 needs to be on later for Iceland to get a decent
signal. Bruce`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Aug 27 at 0621, only RHC English still on, S9+20
undermodulated. 5040 still on with Spanish, music. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7254.9+, Aug 27 at 0616, VON is on again, S9/+10
direct, undermodulated Hausa. At 1655 into Canary SDR, 7255- is on but
VP S5 vs S7 storm crashes, 1700 ID and news, SAM frequency as
7254.9335v. 1804 recheck, now much better at S9/+10, news mostly
readable. 1810 program ID as ``Africa Hour`` so continental content.
1825 about desertification. 1832 plugs various apps for reaching VON.
1848 about economy, but modulation stops, then fades back up, studio
error? Much depends on how heavy the accent of various voices: the
anchorette is bestte, sorta mid-Atlantic. I guess Nigerians can cope
with English variously accented depending on the original native
language.

Nigeria is now the only African country even attempting an external SW
service in English, so VON should be valued, treasured - disregarding
egregious Egypt. And also dissing gospel huxters originating or
relaying. Plus disregarding various `target` broadcasts into Africa.

Signal into Canary should be much better if it`s really 250 kW aimed
moreorless thataway. At 1852, UTwente gets nothing usable, just DRM?
noise but does lock onto 7254.934. No DRM EiBi listed closer than 7245
RRI Saftica at 18-19.

Back to Canary, hit *1857 by on-frequency 7255.0 big carrier as she is
upwrapping Africa Hour. 1858 drum & flute IS still audible under it.
1900 CRI theme for Turkish hour from far Kunming, now with horrible
low het, both unusable as VON presumably goes into Fulfulde as
scheduled 1900-2000 on 11770 like preceding English was supposed? to
be as in Aoki. At UTwente, Turkish clear with no QRM. BTW, current
EiBi lists nothing for VON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Nondirexional beacon DX finally picks up, still some storm
crashes audible, but not too close or strong; and local line? noise
level has diminished slightly which had been blocking all weak signals
in the 370-420 kHz range. Aug 27 at 0627-0633 UT bedtime bandscan
finds these:

341 MCW, DNI under stronger than usual local EI EnId, but no sign of
the other co-channel, OIN OberlIN KS. DNI Sherman/DeNIson TX, almost
OK, is rarely audible, 25 watts. BTW, Woodring AP, home of EI, has got
megabux for improvements in runway, hangar, as the great majority of
traffic there is axually related to Vance AFB, for which Woodring is
backup, overflow.

353 MCW, LI, LIttle Rock AR, 400 watts
356 MCW, ODX, OrD NE, 25 watts
359 MCW, SDR, SnyDeR TX, 25 watts
379 MCW, RUE, RUsselvillE AR, 25 watts
395 MCW, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts
Searching on the strange name Harvs leads to various businesses
elsewhere belonging to people nicknamed for Harvey, not this. CA = for
CAnsas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re: 1010 kHz, Aug 26 at 0615 UT, bigsig where normally
nothing is very dominant at night, ads citing area code 904, ID sounds
like ``KNSL`` and FM 92.5, then sports talk. Per new NRC AM Log, this
has to be WJXL, Jaxonvil Beach FL, U4 50/30 kW.``

``I think the "KNSL" was their slogan "10-10 XL." These guys appear to
have had serious problems with their night DA for at least 2 years.
They've been a nightly catch on my last 2 or 3 annual sessions at the
Nevada-Utah border, and they were even noted with a strong signal here
in San Diego last October. They run lots of local ads so they're
usually pretty easy to spot. 73 Tim Hall, Chula Vista CA``

West instead of, or in addition to east, surely gains WJXL a lot more
landmass coverage! But bad news for legal 1010s in LA, TX, etc. Also,
on July 1, Terry Krueger in the FL Panhandle complained ``always WJXL
sports pest`` while he was trying to DX other 1010 stations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Aug 27 at 0617, RV still absent (Glenn Hauser, OK,
