** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 16 at 1447 tune-in via
Argentine remote, LRA36 already on with song, sufficiently good; 1449
ID, more song; 1500 ID with staff names, ``Nacional, la Radio
Pública`` but not the canned official sign-on with quadrilingual
Spanish-only advisory; maybe it ran earlier. 1501 Antártida themesong,
but chopped off air at 1504* before finished. What a disappointment!
Habitually when this happen it never come back, nor do it today
monitored until a full hour be up on the remote, 1548. Nor anything
at 1853 check either.

Gary Pence was hearing it as usual via KFS and also same Argentine
remote starting at 1445 and: ``when they were on about 10 till the
hour listening on Lu4aa sdr I heard those high fast buzzing blurb
things one after another and now they are gone too! Sure sounds like
intentional jamming to me??? 73 Gary`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, July 16 at 0400 as I am confirming WOR on 5130 into
Maryland SDR, I see on the H2Ofall without needing to hear it, that
this RHC frequency is AWOL. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn

** U S A. 9330, July 16 circa 0630, WLCR/WBCQ is still off, reason
unknown. Pray harder! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, 7890, 11835, July 16 at 0635, no signals, not even
JBA carriers from RV. Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, agrees at 0615 on
the WOR iog:

``Vanuatu out of air today, due to COVID-19? Erratic Radio Vanuatu,
out of the air today July 16, checked from 0520, no signal, no carrier
directly here in Reinante and no signal via SDR Kiwi remote receivers
in New Zealand on 7260 and on its other usual frequencies.
Perhaps the absence is due to the announcers being infected with
COVID-19, because yesterday and in the past days I have heard them
coughing insistently while speaking, both the female and the male
announcers.`` Ahh, diagnosis by DX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9275, July 16 at 0627, S9+10/20 of open carrier.
Strongly suspect it`s the new WMLK high-power transmitter testing?
Nominally only at 1700-2200 UT --- except Saturday, and this is now UT
Sabbath! If in this cult, Yahweh`ll get`em for any work on the
Sabbath, they are in for trouble. Or maybe forgot to turn it off
before Friday sundown, and now can`t touch it? Plans were to also run
overnight except Sabbathday, registered 04-09 UT on a much different
frequency, 15150, ignorant of Propagation 101 -- nothing heard on it
now. Much like the WBCQ SuperStition, had not figured out how to make
their new gizmo change frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1856 UT July 16

** ANGOLA. 4949.720, July 15 at 2152, presumed RNA is JBA S7 mostly
noise into Namibia SDR with signature offset, no signal into RSA SDR
and there are no other Kiwis in southern Africa. Tnx to tip from
Manuel Méndez, Spain, who reported this yesterday to the WOR iog:

``Rádio Nacional de Angola, 4949,7 on air after months without
detecting it --- Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Reinante, NW of
Spain, Tecsun PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters: ANGOLA, 4949.7, Rádio
Nacional de Angola, Mulenvos, 1956-2016, 14-07, comments, songs.
Strong carrier, extremely weak audio, barely audible, best on LSB.``

Tropical Bands Monitor as of 1 July shows this on 4949.7 had been
reported this year only in January and March. Once upon a time RNA ran
all-night and its off-frequency carrier at least could be detected in
deep North America. As of last year, WRTH showed 4950 as 24 h with A
program in Portuguese, nominal 25 kW; while MW 945 had some foreign
languages local evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, July 15 at 1852, LRA36 is on with a
surprise late Friday broadcast; tnx to tips from Hugo López, Chile and
Manuel Méndez, Spain. Sufficient S5/S9 into Argentine SDR. Amid
interview of a guy by the gals who are laughing a lot. He`s talking
about high winds and other weather info, mentions Centro Meteorológico
Marambio, so maybe he`s visiting from that other base. Only QRM
occasional clix. Unfortunately at 1900-2000 UT Fridays I always listen
to KUCO for `The Score` cinemusic in $ tereo. LRA36 is off by my next
chance to check at 2022. Maybe this compensate for totally missing
their scheduled Wednesday 1500 transmission? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. Correxion to a typo not noticed by me until July 14. Is
anyone paying attention? I wish I were before I publish an error!
Second frequency was given as 9873.86 instead of 9673.86; FIXED:

9673.80 / 9673.86, July 9 at 0621, RVM praise music jumping
around these two spots as I try to measure it. Anyeditor who published
this error must now also publish this correxion (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, July 15 at 2133 and 2201, NO signal in English from R.
Cairo into UTwente; it`s better than something since something`s
always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA [non]. 11750, July 15 at 1650, no signal of SLBC into
Kuwait SDR; supposedly 1630-1830 with domestic service relay. Had not
paid attention before but checking now whether it be off due to
strife. At 1620-1650, VIRI blox 11750 in Bengali: how could they
possibly know about SLBC since it`s not in HFCC? After Qur`an, 1630
chimes and ``Radio Tehran`` ID. After 1700 into Bengaluru SDR, nothing
either on 11750. I have the vague impression that SLBC 11750 may have
been sporadic already. The other times to seek SLBC are 0030-0100 and
0200-0230 on 11905, often reported from N America. Of course there are
lots of relays via Trincomalee site: Aoki has 36 entries including
SLBC. Other have reported some of those still on.

BTW, the protesters` takeover of SLBC TV I quoted on WOR 2147 turned
out to be a bit exaggerated: they were allowed on for 15 minutes. I
thought it somewhat suspicious that the language signer in the corner
continued during clip unabated. See this via Ron Howard, WOR iog:

** TURKEY. 9830, July 15 at 2201 and 2212, NO signal from VOT English
into UTwente, but something weak, presumably CNR1 Beijing 572 site
also scheduled. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2147 monitoring: confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday
July 15 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 S9+10/20 direct, preceded by two
overlapping IDs and WOR not starting until 0130.2; presumably same on
7730, S9/+10 and noisy, both direct.

Not confirmed UT Friday July 15 at 0330 on WRMI 7780: rather, previous
WOR 2146 aired again; not sure why, some file mixup? But I have
rechecked that 2147 is ready for all subsequent airings on WRMI thru
July 21.

Also confirmed Friday July 15 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; inaudible at
Bonaire where it`s aimed but S7/9+10 direct, no jamming audible. A
2-minute music buffer at 1428 following the Tourette`s gospel huxter
blaster preceding.

Confirmed NOT airing Friday July 15 at 1815 on IRRS 7290, AM Italia
1323, 918, usual third-Friday pre-emption for some classic rock;
checked via UTwente and Noale SDRs.

Confirmed the MW-only AM Italia airing Friday July 15 at 2030 on 918 &
1323 kHz; 918 at S9/+5 is better than 1323 only S7/S8, and no LW 207;
but by 2031, 918 cuts off and on the air, and/or when on without

** U S A. 9330, July 15 at 0128, no signal from WLCR/WBCQ. Ailing?
Yes, a twit as of 13 hours before 0000 UT July 16:

``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 13h --- Working at the stations. The great
500 KW transmitter is down. Very complex. All of us troubleshooting
now. Free speech radio continues. Angela & Allan on tonight at 8pm
eastern on 7490/6160/5130/3265khz. Support radio-please listen. Your
prayers appreciated. The big one⚡️.``

Well, UT Sat July 16 after 0000, 3265 is JBA S5 at Maryland SDR,
mostly local and storm noise but SAM as carrier +151 Hz = 3265.152v.
3265.153v much better S8/S9 into nearest PEI SDR. Apparently during
AAAWWW original broadcast is only time it`s occasionally onturned.
3265 is not even included in the program guide. A new AAAWWW, since
discussing the Webb Space Telescope images. Angela is not within grasp
of Allan but on a lo-fi remote phone line. I guess he is in ME, she in
FL. Or, ``she is on an errand``.

Almost whole program is Allan lexuring us on the Universe and
Everything, Relativity, with the inevitable Christian undertones. I`m
listening via the 7490v webcast. Datestamp at 0038 as he is from
Studio 1 in Monticello, for 15 July YOOLF 2022. Never heard anything
about what`s wrong with the SuperStition. 0053 into email (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215 & 5890, July 15 at 0630, both these WWCR TOMBS
frequencies are off. Now we see in the program schedules dated July 1
that they are intentionally OFF AIR: WWCR-1 M-F at 0500-1100 3215 and
1100-1130 15825; and WWCR-4 M-F 0500-1200 5890. BUT same remain on air
Saturdays and Sundays with TOMBS. No other Off Air times are shown.
Absent 5890 also deprives us of the leapfrog mixing product over 5935
landing on 5980. It seems that dead Brother Stair`s income is dropping
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0114 UT July 16

** GUAM. 11590, July 14 at 1435, S4/S5 in S Asian language? It`s KTWR
in Kazakh at 1430-1445 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 14 at 0501-0508, another new `Ukraine:
Security Issue` for July 13, Day 140 of Russia`s war, on UR1 via WRMI.
Richard Langley says these resumed on July 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re 12695.5, KFS: ``Hi Glenn. Thanks for including stations
KPH and KFS in your posting. The currently active transmit site for
KFS is Bolinas, CA - co-located with KPH. The KFS transmitter is a
1942 Press Wireless PW15 running about 5 kW. This transmitter was in
service for KFS at the historic (1921) Palo Alto, CA site and was one
of the transmitters used for the "last day of Morse" ceremony on 12
July 1999, the date we commemorate with Night of Nights. We brought it
and a sister PW15 to Bolinas. KFS worked SS AMERICAN VICTORY/KKUI with
multiple QTC in both directions and perhaps other customers. VY 73, RD

Richard, Good to hear from you and tnx for the clarification. I guess

** U S A. 9265, July 14 at 0630, WINB is OFF instead of TOMBS which
had been scheduled until 0657. It seems that TOMBS hours have been
reduced here as well as on WRMI, Channel 292 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, July 14 at 0621, JBA carrier, presumed R. Vanuatu
which Manuel Méndez found yesterday active both before and after 0600,
rather than 3945 and harmonix, so still no 11835. NO 2 x 7260 audible
on 14520 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9330, July 14 at 1440, JBA carrier. Hard to believe it`s
the 500 kW WBCQ SuperStition; if so, must be on exciter only during
English. Nothing else shares 9330 except Cuban Spy Numbers at 0700
four days a week, which was there long before WLCR/WBCQ (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15520, July 14 at 0623, S7/S9 open carrier, one of
strongest signals on band, equivalent to 15490 BBC Vatican but with
less fading. Nothing on skeds to account for it, but maybe a test from
Spain which is on 15520 only between 14 and 23. The only other 15520
scheduled is AWR 0400-0430 Amharic via Sri Lanka: possibly that
disrupted by strife, but would not expect such a transpolar signal to
be so steady (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0034 UT July 15

** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 13 at 2204, R. Cairo is terribly
overmodulated and distorted with hum but English news? somewhat
readable if you put up with it, which I will not for more than a few
seconds, S9+30/40 into UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830+, July 13 at 2207, VOT ending news and already into
`Feeling Supreme` theme, and about bone health with osteoporosis
repeatedly mispronounced, right into recommended nutrients: garlic,
apple-a-day, rosemary, coconut oil, pineapple, broccoli... Standard
disclaimer. To Maryland SDR it`s S9/+15 with RTTY on + side so must
listen on LSB, and +20+ Hz offset. To UTwente, no RTTY, S9+35/50 and
+21 Hz. To both it`s humbuzzy, annoying. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler. Normally there are press reviews, commentary before
getting into features like FeelSup at least 20 minutes into.
Something`s always awry at Ankara. But it`s not AWOL today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2146 monitoring: no signal at all Wednesday
