** AUSTRALIA. After finding no activity on higher hambands, Es or F2,
finally, this OSOB: 18140 USB, June 8 at 2128-2138, VK4SX making N
American contacts, mostly unheard but one calls him Dennis, and
eventually put together infrequent IDs as VK4SX. QRZ.com:

Nor does he wish to be spotted. That`s just south of Cairns on the NE
coast of Queensland, tenth-largest city in the state. LOTS of equipment
photos on his page, but not a single human, not even in the upper-right
corner, rather antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9667.5 approx., June 9 at 0647, RVM music S7/S9, again
jumped way above 9667 after last check just above nominal 9665 (Glenn

WORLD OF RADIO 2142)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed June 8 at 2208, REE is VG for token English, even
on DX-398 portable with a few feet clipped on; Amy Egan`s feature is an
interview with director of new film `Operation Mincemeat` about
deceiving the Germans in WWII; which has just opened in Spain under a
totally different title as literal translation would make no sense.
Original interview had questions in Castilian which Amy voiced-over,
while answers were in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, June 9 at 0500, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` in English by the other YL with accent, including:
Russia holding 600 people in ``torture centers``. VG via Maryland
remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2142)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2141 monitoring: not confirmed Wed
June 8 at 2100:21 on WBCQ 7489.9v since it`s a JBA carrier direct,
can`t even recognize my voice let alone confirm correct episode; and
the computer for closer remote or streamcheck is out of reach right
now. Did anyone hear it? Yet the flat-earth crap on 9330 is S9+22 in
English. Despite huge disparity in power and gain, the puny Classic
transmitter might have a chance of audibility if it were on 9 MHz or
higher in the daytime, above summerdaytime lower-band absorption.

Confirmed UT Thursday June 9 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 S9+10/20 but stormy
into Missouri SDR; and also 9455, S9+5/15.

** U S A. 9955, June 9 at 0644, WRMI-5, S9+10 with TOMBS over Cuban
pulse jamming, notably also putting out obvious spurs with traces of
same audio at plus/minus 5 kHz on 9950 & 9960, but also with declining
strength to JBA carriers at plus/minus 10 and 15 kHz! 9940, 9945, 9965,

** U S A. 1130 kHz, June 9 at 0152, KWKH under an open carrier making a
fast SAH, i.e. KLEY Wellington KS is back on air but amodulous. And
obviously not cut to legal night power of ONE WATT rather than 250 W
day power, despite official sunset in June, and July, being 0145. It

opening, mentioning staff names, for this program #6 of the season.
Usual mix of historical info, conversation, contact info, etc. But I`m

** CUBA. 11850, June 8 at 0614, RHC English! S9+10/20 and suptorted;
also JBA & JBM parasite carrier spurs on 11840 & 11860, encountered
whilst checking for missing 11835 Vanuatu. 11850 at this hour is
totally bonkers. Aoki shows it at 22-06 in Spanish but not heard as
late as 0600; EiBi shows 21-05. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
Otherwise in English 0615+: 6000 S9+10/20 weather, suptorted but
better than 11850; 6060 S9+10/20 with hum; while 6100, 6165 and 5040

GLENN HAUSER`S EQUIPMENT. Some editors keep reproducing out-of-date
list. Notably, FRG-7, out of service for many years. I still have two
of them, neither funxional, on the table next to my primary Icom R75.
Other primary is JRC NRD-545. I have several portables but the only
ones in regular use as backup or mobile are Tecsun PL-880 and Radio
Shack DX-398. Antennas, besides telescopic are indoor random wire
clipons, Wellbrook ALA 330S loop indoor permanently aimed E/W for the
JRC; and 100 foot E/W longwire for the Icom. And BSR-1 caradio, with
fender antenna of about one foot which still gets amazingly a lot.

Welcome, NS9RC is the club call of the North Shore Radio Club near
Chicago. Our club's web site is: ns9rc.org

To help discover 10M band openings, the NSRC has operated a
propagation beacon on 28.297 MHz since 2001. It is located at the
Heller Nature Center in Highland Park, IL about 27 miles north of
downtown Chicago. The beacon was built from a Radio Shack HTX-100
running 5 watts to a Cushcraft AR-10 half wave vertical. CW message
keying is performed by an Ultimate PicoKeyer. The 10M band is open a
lot more than you may think, even during periods of low sunspot
activity, so be sure to check the beacon portion of the band between
28.200 and 28.300 regularly, you may be pleasantly surprised with what
you hear. Reception reports on our beacon are always welcome and over
the years we have received them from over 30 countries and every
continent except Antarctica. We will gladly send a QSL card if
requested, please send your report to KK9H.

** U S A. 15770, June 7 at 1905, checking now 1-hour WRMI relay of
VOA, S9+5/10 into Maryland remote but sounds like a local: introducing
`International Edition` after presumed news, but cuts to music fill at
1908; VOA resumes at 1927 just in time for Editorial; 1930 news, 1935
`Flashpoint Ukraine` uncut today to 1959 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, June 7 at 2100 UT check, KLEY Wellington KS is
OFF: station which alternated between weeks of 24h dead air and weeks
of 24h rock. Finally given up? We`ll hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 7 at 0627, RV S8/S9 with YL in Bislama; 7890
has some JBA talk rather than JBA carrier; and even 15780 has a JBA
carrier, hard to believe it`s anything but RV on 4X 3945 as well as 3X
and 2X. 15780 has been reported by Pacificans. Now how about 5X =
19725? A remote westward into the dayside may be required. As for
11835, Ron Howard has posted some amazingly strong clips of it, you
would never guess were harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0234 UT June 8

** CUBA. 13740, June 6 at 0358, RHC in Spanish S9+10 just before
cutting off at 0359* like MWV on 13760. EiBi agrees -0400* while Aoki
says -0500*. Sometimes it`s on much later accidentally in English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, June 6 at 1502, RHC Spanish S7/S9 but suptorted =
suppressed and distorted modulation; only // 15140 is S9/+5 and merely
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, June 6 at 0358 song in English, VG until cut off
at 0359*. Another station which does not feel obliged to ID at start
and finish of each broadcast! Scheduled is MWV, but confusing
contradixions about programming. EiBi says it`s African Pathways
Radio, to S Asia. But why would they be doing that, rather than KNLS
English hour which is Asian-orientated? HFCC agrees it`s on 40 degree
beam for CIRAFs 41 & 42S = S Asia, altho bigsig here implies it`s
really aimed thisaway across Africa. Aoki does not decide, just
English from WCB; and BTW, V of Korea [North] is also listed on 13760
at 03-04 in Spanish. Bulgarian DX Blog for A22 shows 03-04 on 13760 as
KNLS English at 40 degrees from MWV; while English from APR follows at
04-05 on 11825, also well heard here. It`s also quite possible that
Mahajanga mix up its azimuths and programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4, June 5 at 2214, S9+26 carrier with tone locally
jamming the CB calling channel.

27185.6 & 27184.5, June 6 at 0354, S9+10 carrier with tone on local
groundwave, not clear which is carrier and which is tone. Zero-beating
one or the other, one hears silence on USB or LSB.

27185, June 6 at 1507, frequency finally clear except for JBA
carriers. No sporadic E skip now on CB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, June 6 at 0500-0506, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:

** U S A. (7490v), Sunday June 5 at 2300, WBCQ webcast with music fill
instead of Harry Shearer`s `Le Show`, as I continue listening after
`UBMP` with Roma music. Eventually just dead air, presumably also on
7490 broadcast. 2323 fires WBCQ legal ID, more DA; 2327 finally start
`Le Show` opening; so will it run past 2400? No, cut to ID and `Voice
of Revival`. Something`s mixed up at Monticello (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 15770, Monday June 6 at 1954-2000, WRMI successfully
completes relay of VOA`s `Flashpoint: Ukraine`, S6/S7 via Maryland
SDR. Quick check of 15770 yesterday Sunday June 5 sometime during the
19-20 hour heard the ``British Israel`` gospel huxter show not
scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, June 6 at 0606, JBA carrier; and 11825, JBA vs HSNL
= high storm noise level, locally, enough to tell that 3945 harmonix
are still emitted. Some also hear it on X4 = 15780. How about X5? That
would be 19725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
