** CHILE. 28415 USB, May 15 at 2312, CE2TP in contact with a W9.
QRZ.com: CE2TP Chile flag Chile, ALEJANDRO GUSTAVO TOLEDO SCHIAFFINO,
Olmue, V Región, Chile.

``Hola, todos! Nací el 13 de mayo de 1967 en la localidad de Quillota,
República de Chile, radioaficionado licenciado desde 1981, cuando
tenía 14 años.

Mi primera licencia fue la de solicitante número 1881, luego obtuve
ce2fau, ce4fau, ce4ats, ce2ats, y en la actualidad ce2tp. Estoy
felizmente casado con Claudia Bernal desde el 28 de agosto de 1993,
tenemos dos hijos.
Me gusta el radio hamming y lo disfruto mucho, es el único hobby que
tengo.

Lo que me gusta es la comunicación de larga distancia (dx) en todas
las bandas, pero sobre todo intente la propagación en la banda de 6
metros.

En mi choza hay un Icom IC-746 pro, Icom IC-7000 versión europea, Icom
Ic-761, raro Icom IC-740s, solo 25w PEP con el que utilizo un pequeño
amplificador Trio TL-120, Kenwood TS-2000x, Yaesu FTDX-1200, Kenwood
TS-440sat, TS-850sat, TS-450sat, TS-130s, Yaesu FT-891, Yaesu System
600, y otro es un gran Kenwood TS-430s. En mi coche utilizo el Yaesu
FT-100 D, y Icom IC-706, con antena helicoidal de Eco veicolare
fabricado en Italia, y el Kawasaki pongo Alinco DR-135mkII VHF, antena
de 5/8 ondas.

Además, transceptor digital DMR TYT MD-2017, Anytone AT-D878plus,
Kenwood Dual bander, TM-733A, TM-731A, TM-D700, TH-D7A G2.0, Icom
IC-2000, IC-2I00, Yaesu FT- 4700Rh. Aunque está en la imagen también,
Swan 700cx y Yaesu FT-200. Amplificadores Dentron Radio Co., modelos
Clipperton-L y MLA-1200, Yaesu FL 2100z.

Las antenas que utilizo como se muestra en las imágenes de abajo hacia
arriba: 3 elementos yagi Hy gain TH 3 jrs. Elaboración casera 3 el.
monobanda para 6 metros. En la parte superior de la torre hay una VHF
9-el. viga, espaciamientos largos, fabricada por Tonna (Francia).
Antena adyacente cerca de la torre: Diamond X-50 de doble banda para
VHF y UHF.

Gracias por mirar, un gran abrazo para todos y nos vemos en radio.``

In my brief F2 10m session, heard only one other phone higher up and
two Es beacons lower down from MEXICO, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, May 15 at 0638, huge S9+10 dead air, got to be RHC way
out of whack again, supposedly daytime only frequency. Now it`s the
SSOB by far -- strongest signal on band, not even 15770 WRMI more than
JBA carrier. No other RHCs found now on any band. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28183+, May 15 at 2314, VVV XE1RCS/B and E+ something grid
square: XE1RCS Mexico flag Mexico, Radio Club Satélite A.C., Apartado

Heard before, sporadic E with no US or Canadian or anywhere else
beacons audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28171+, May 15 at 2316, -- -- -- XE1FAS/B and E+something
grid square: XE1FAS Mexico flag Mexico, SEGURA WALLS ALEJANDRO, 31
PONIENTE 2926 COL.EL VERGEL, PUEBLA, PU 72410, Mexico. WI5V beacon
list has him only on 24.9295 MHz: XE1FAS PUEBLA MEXICO New 16 Sept
2010. See my previous logs on March 17 and February 20 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORWAY [non]. Re R Northern Star via TRSW via WRMI, "All the music
is US classic rock, in English, and even the wide variety of jingles
and IDs are in American accent." Kari Kallio, Finland replies:

``RNS buys the entire music program package ready-made, I remember
from the USA. Svenn might have said the name of that company to me,
but in that case I've already happily forgotten it. br Kari`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon May 15 at 2200, NO signal from REE to NAm; 15520
& 17715 in OK, as Justin skips any news, about this being 40th
anniversary from 1983 teletext in Spain, then interview with an artist
named Williams (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. Correcting my comment about 5960 not in English, May 14:
``5960 always carries Turkish, English at 18:30 was on 5945 kHz as
usual. Announcer Omar was reading out the latest election figures
followed by some music. I did not stay listening for long.
11785 at 23:00 [2200 UT] is too late for me to listen.

Earlier in the day at 12:30 on 15450 kHz, the lady announcer with the
almost incomprehensible accent was on duty, speaking about the
election. She appears to have been suffering from a sore throat - due
to a virus - or maybe from over enthusiastic shouting at a rally?

It looks like a winner for Erdogan in the run-off in two weeks time.
So another 5 years of oppression of the media in Turkiye. Alan Holder,
G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` on the WOR iog.

9875, May 15 at 2042, VOT English via UTwente, S9+20/30 but
heavyaccent YL about elexion. 2045 `Feeling Supreme` theme; 2105
multi-lingual ID filler reel.

11785, May 15 at 2200, not off the air direct but poor. It would take
very careful listening with perfect reception and accent to evaluate
whether VOT reporting is objective or partial to Recep (Glenn Hauser,

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17480, May 14 at 2036, JBA talk, only sig here
below 17490, therefore to be assumed it`s Dengê Welat and/or Recep`s
Turkeyjam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 28492 USB, May 14 at 2046, ZL1WN, mentioning his 10-10
interest. Heard already a few weeks ago; now at same time as Deep
South Americans: ZL1WN New Zealand flag New Zealand, ROSS BIGGAR, 210
Oroua Rd, R D 5, Palmerston North 4475, New Zealand. After four
longhaul countries on 10m in 10 minutes, at 2047 I tune across 12m and
encounter zero activity (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. I don`t watch KWTV News 9 much, but during 60 Minutes,
May 14, 2023, I notice a promo for some anchordude whose face and name
I don`t recognize, so I wonder what happened to Kelly Ogle? Where
better to investigate than this blog:

(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PARAGUAY. 28450 USB, May 14 at 2040, ZP8VAO calling CQDX, careful
fonetix for the suffix, not for prefix: first thought he was saying
``VP2`` instead of ``Zulu Pete``. Suffix = his initials out of order
per QRZ.com: ZP8VAO Paraguay flag Paraguay, AMADO OSVALDO VILLASANTI
GAUTO, Manzana 28 Lote 15 1000 Viviendas, AYOLAS-MISIONES, Paraguay,
400 miles from Asunción. At 2042 called for 10-minute QRX. Love these
long-haul 10m F2 openings with nothing close. Might think band dead,
tuning up from 28150 with no beacons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, May 14 at 2238, checking VOT for any elexion news,
but just music, S9+50 into UTwente. At least, unlike the 1830 on 5960,
this has been in English instead of Turkish, per routine closing at
2252 ``always with you``, 2253 heavyaccent YL with partial sked,
goodbye, and IS less than once to 2254*. I could not hear anything
direct on the intervening English from 2030 on 9875 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2160 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 14 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+5/15 into
nearby Noale SDR, only lite SAH and understation CCI. But by 2013 much
more musiQRM, presumably Smooth Radio, Brighton, England, UQKOGBANI.

Also confirmed UT Monday May 15 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/S9 into
Louisiana SDR but always with external 14-second noise blast override
starting at exactly same time. I also have UTwente running so check it
there even tho aimed SW from FL: detectable but unreadable in HSNL.

NOT confirmed UT Mon May 15 at 0300 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 -68 Hz =
6159.932 into NH SDR. Instead after JL ended on time, played a graphic
tutorial on love leading to sex, and later a lo-fi phone? conversation
past 0333. I have no idea why WOR was pre-empted. Unless narrowed,
some ACI splash from Turkey 6165 thataway in English about elexion.

** ALGERIA [and non]. 21550, circa 1505 May 14, no signal direct from
Ifrikya FM, but VG S9+10 at 1557 into UTwente with exotic music - and
no signal on the other scheduled frequency 17600. At 1600, 5+1
timesignal ending 10 seconds *early* by soon comparing to DCF77 on
77.5 kHz Mainflingen via same remote, as no RWM or WWVs audible on SW.
Pips imply much greater precision! If you can`t do better than that,
dispense with TS and just speak the time approximately. Into language
other than Arabic mentioning several N African countries (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday May 14 at 1503, RHC VG opening weekly Esperanto
still citing wrong schedule: Sun 08 on 6100, 16 on 11760; and one more
in the afternoon I always have trouble copying, but likely wrong too,
:30 past some hour on some frequency. Aoki shows 2230 on 15730, which
sounds about `right`. EiBi shows that but also:
2030 15140, 2300 5040. 15140 maybe too now at 15 but JBA. Previously
at 0707+ I had searched all bands from 5 to 15 MHz and found zero RHC
signals, not even 12200/6100. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

BTW, searching entire Aoki on language Esp, and EiBi on EO, finds only
other lingo station is CRI. WRTH 2023 shows five daily broadcasts on
two frequencies each, to a variety of targets via variety of sites.
Too bad only Commies are interested: Domaĝe nur komunistoj interesiĝas

** INTERNATIONAL INTERNET. Richard Cuff replies about accessing two
short shows:
``Looks like Composer's Datebook is archived back to June 10, 2002,
based on modifying the number at the end of the URL, as in:
https://www.yourclassical.org/composers-datebook/763

The archive does go back all the way to Episode 1. The originals were
made beginning in 1987 on audiotape, says the website, and were remade
starting in 1999 and given new numbers. (source: website)
https://uh.edu/engines/ RC`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORWAY [non]. And I do mean non. Texas R Shortwave publicized a
relay of Radio Northern Star, 35 watts on 5895, so rarely DXed outside
Europe, UT Sunday May 14 at 00-01 via WRMI 5950, special QSL offered
by TRSW itself. I`m listening direct on R75, with considerable storm
noise nearby but not so close I have to disconnect 100-ft E/W
longwire. SINPO 45333 with some deep fades. I sent a much more
detailed report for QSL as required. All the music is US classic rock,
in English, and even the wide variety of jingles and IDs are in
American accent. The tunes lasted only a minute or two, must be
truncated versions. No Norwegian music until the national anthem
toward the end. Anyhow, tnx for availablizing, and eQSL received
shortly:

or #142 via http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. Elexion returns: It might be more interesting than usual to
monitor VOT today and tonight. If they can make it onto air, don`t
expect any Breaking News rather than olds, but FWIW, English hours:
1830 5960, 2030 9875, 22 11785, 03 6165 7275, 1230 15450, 11630
11660.

Major Turkish language fqs which maybe would be `live`, in order
starting now for longer stretches: 9460, 5960, 7360, 6040, 9770,
13635, 15375
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A23&broadc=TRT

Guess what: via UTwente, 5960 is not in English at 1830, maybe plugged
into domestic service Turkish relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 14487 USB, May 14 at 0136, ``NSS`` making crossband contacts
with hams on 20m, as part of an Armed Forces Day celebration even tho
that`s not until May 20, not May 17. Tnx to ARRL publicity via Harold
Frodge, this would be active only until 0200. It`s not really NSS
Annapolis reactivated, but some ham has been authorized to use that
call. ``CQ Armed Forces Day`` over and over, succeeding a contact
maybe 10% of the time. ``November Sierra Sierra, listening 14289``.
First contact he mentions is WB3JIA. I don`t try to hear the QSX
frequencies which he changes as time goes on, to 14304 at 0141; 14318
at 0156. When he does make a contact, says operating from Glenwood,
Maryland, tho ARRL mentioned Greenbury Point in Annapolis. QSLs
available via K3LU. Doesn`t say by what method or whether SWLs are
eligible. Good S9 here; one brief spurt of running-H2O QRM; says also
on 7536.5 which I don`t hear on one quick check. Voice pitch sounds
best tuned to 14486.95 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2190 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
May 13 starting at 2230:30, not 2230:00, on WRMI 15770, JBA direct;
and 5850, JJBBA direct; 7730 too weak to tell what`s on it. But at
2235 I try Maryland SDR, where 15770 is S9+20, and also confirmed //
on 7730, S6/S7 with storm crashes. 7730 was never removed from the
program skedgrid, but was just reactivated this week with a 44-degree
antenna as before, same as 15770, but not necessarily // at all 24h.

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 14 at 0049 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
Louisiana SDR but noisy; outset 0030 was totally buried direct in
nearby storm noise.

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 14 from 0321 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+10/15 into nearby SDR with storm noise. Next:

#1 and could not find the step up transformer, 120 volt to 220 volts.
Transmitter #1 & 2 use items at 220 volts. The transformer was at the
station before I came back. The GOOD OLD BOYS struck again by walking
off with the transformer. As I need items, I find that they have been
taken by the GOOD OLD BOYS. George McClintock, 5-13-2023`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

after JBA carrier on 7260 before 0700. Not audible on 15780 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA. 13590, May 13 at 0145, S8/9+10 but just barely modulated.
13790, May 13 at 0145, S9/+10 with good modulation. Presumed both
Ifrikya FM, the new `station` now carried by the TDA SW transmitters;
but are they //? With some difficulty on two receivers direct, yes. At
0200 a 5+1 timesignal, final pip higher pitched, and French talk. At
0205 I simultry 13590 on Maryland remote, 13790 on UTwente, and yes,
they do match. Not checked after 0300 when should be 13790 & 9470 - or
7210 & 9500?

Next check at 1850 May 13: 17600 VP S0/S1 in Arabic? No 15160 but
could be under high noise level. I have extracted complete schedule
from HFCC as of May 12:

Béchar site, 300 kW at 131 degrees from the NW near Morocco:
03-06 9470 & 9500 [alternates; 9470 reported]
06-09 15110
09-11 17600
11-18 21550
18-21 17600
21-03 12590

Ouargla site, 300 kW at 210 degrees from north central west of
Tunisia:
02-06 7210 [not in use? partial alt to 13790 below]
09-12 17600
12-15 21455
15-18 17600
18-20 15160
20-09 13790

Note that 17600 is registered for both sites at 09-11 and switches
from one to the other at 1800. Publicity did state that Ifrikya would
occupy 19 hpd. Tony Rogers says Holy Qur`an Radio is still carried at
18-23. And that ``Ouragla`` is assumed not on air at 00-18. I still
see Ouargla misspelt, even with a Q! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476 USB, Sat May 13 at 2119, LRA36 is VP S3/S4 vs HNL
into what is usually the best Argentine SDR, as I camp upon someone.
Even worse, JBA when at 2135 I can tune it to 15475.98 RCUSB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17455, May 13 at 1848, Turkish? music jammer,
S0/S4 direct but JBA carrier on 17460, presumably Dengê Welat. Same at
1940 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2190 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday May 13
at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+20/30 direct. As always a bit of intrusive
music between the ID and my start; why?

Also confirmed UT Saturday May 13 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130
minus 24 Hz = 5129.976, S7/S9 into NH SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday May 13 at 1609 the 1600 on WRN North America
webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday May 13 at 1947 UT, about 13 minutes into so
started about 1934 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, near St Louis MO, S9+15 into
nearby SDR, but with very heavy storm noise over central Illinois.
Next:

2230 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW
2230 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE
[maybe now also reactivated 7730, as on skedgrid forever?]
0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW
0245vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0457]
