** CUBA. 11760, Sat August 5 at 1948, RHC in English jazz show, S7/S9,
not supposed to be on this frequency, but a fortunate mistake(?) since
proper 15140 is *much* weaker about S1 JBA. At 1958.7*, 11760 cuts off
mid-music; and then I find 15140 also off. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 6 at 0105, undermodulated in HSNL, can`t be
positive it`s English; also with dirty spurs about 2.6 kHz plus and
minus. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Aug 6 at 0115, quite a mess here, mixture of at least
two audios but seems only one carrier. One is Spanish about Cuba; the
other would be from some other RHC program, like 6000? English? Cannot
make a positive match due to awfulness of both frequencies. Definitely
not // 5025. The RHC clash with Romania will not be until 0200.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, August 5 at 0635, NO signal from VON direct, unlike
the now reliable neighbor Vanuatu 7260. Is VON totally inactive? Seems
last time I logged it was July 9 at 0649; it was typically carrier
only or poorly modulated. I tune past here virtually every night
before 0700. It used to be active also local evenings, reliably
uppicked by Canary Islands SDR, but which no longer exists. August 5
at 1605 I check the two Kiwis in Africa, Kenya and RSA -- nothing, but
their quality is questionable. Nor one in Spain. UTwente? It does lock
onto an inaudible 7254.999, which could be Tibet or S Korea per HFCC.
For longtime, VON had been on 7255- if anywhere, not 11770 or 9690 or
15120 DRM, its other original spots (Glen Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 17735, August 5 at 1946, JBA carrier direct. It`s a
brand-new target service. LOB in Brasil got this advance notice to
us:

``From Yoruba Nation Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/Yorubanationradiotv?mibextid=ZbWKwL
"On the 5th of August 2023, Yoruba Nation Shortwave Radio will start
Broadcasting live. Share this page with Yoruba citizens both Home and
Diaspora.Listen to us every, Saturday and Sunday from 20.00pm to
21.00pm Nigeria time on (Shortwave Radio) Frequency 17735 kHz SW.
Also, listen to our online Radio 24/7."``

I then find it already in HFCC but claiming on day 3 only = Tuesday:
``17735 1900 2000 46SE WOF 250 170 0 618 3 010823 291023 D 17690 Yor G
ENC ENC 4928`` --- That`s the Woofferton UK site. Others confirm it
better than I can on Sat Aug 5. I`m dodging lightning storms around
Enid, mostly can`t even internet remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1920 kHz, Aug 5 at 1952 UT, second harmonic of 960 local
KGWA is JBA: have not noticed this in a long time. Third harmonic 2880
used to be better but inaudible now tho there is a lot of storm noise
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Aug 5 at 1947, local S9 CB dead air is off
again; but no skip audible here or elsewhere on 27 MHz (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.9, on caradio Aug 4 at 2040 UT, JBA fringe signal from
``The Edge``, i.e. the 200-watt K225BN translator of the HD2 of KOMA
92.5, OKC, where no one listens to it. What a silly branding, edge of
what, alluding to HD2? On 92.9 one never knows which fringer will
dominate in Enid, this with a bit of tropo, or KBEZ Tulsa, equally
stupid branding, ``The Drive`` -- of what? 100 kW without any boost.
Not to be outdone, the 92.9 in Kansas, Osage City, KMXN, if not really
MeXicaN, calls itself ``The Bull`` -- no bull! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 98.5 August 6 at 0049 tuning past one of
countless gospel huxters, but I pause as there is some fine music,
variations on ``A Mighty Fortress`` by a piano-pounder and full
orchestra. No outroduxion about the performance. This is K253BC, Enid
translator of KLVV 88.7 Ponca City, which came in well enough direct,
but was sacrificed for another gospel huxter translator (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

91.5, the gospel huxter here, KSNS Medicine Lodge KS, I have noticed
playing some soft jazz at times, such as UT Sunday August 6 at 0052 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 102.3, August 5 at 1933 UT, DJs Kristin sp? and Mike
bantering, so not KRMG Tulsa? No, it is talker KRMG, maybe
infomercial, no discs, since // 740, or rather 10 sex delayed after
740. But why? This proves that AM is still primary no matter how much
they push FM first. Many other Tulsa market signals are enhanced
during stormy weather while it`s safe to tune at least on the caradio.
Later suffered a ~6 hour Optimum cable & internet outage (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 103.5, August 5 at 1936 UT, ``Power 103.5`` ad for Arvest
Bank, an Okie-only biz? No, out of AR into MOKSOK, a Walton thing.
Only such non-ID belongs to KVSP Anadarko, rimshooter into OKC market,
not so much Enid (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9870, August 6 at 0118, LV de Turquiye ID in Spanish,
S8/9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2202 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, UT Saturday August 5 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/20 direct.

Also confirmed Saturday August 5 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

Not confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, at 2010 UT August 5 into nearby
SDR, rather ham news. Unable to check earlier due to storms, but hope
it already ran from nominal 1930 or earlier.

Confirmed UT Sunday August 6 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 direct vs
HSNL, with 14-second QRM blast to start.

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 6 at 0322, about 23 minutes into, so

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 98.3, August 5 at 1928 UT, still dead air from KQZQ Kiowa KS
- note, in my Aug 4 log reversed the call as ``KZQZ``. Wait! It`s not
completely dead but just barely modulated, still in mono. Must turn up
caradio volume to max to hear it at less than ideal level; 1942, ``My
Country 98-3``, as they too avoid tongue-twister legal call. No
mention of Scott Becker. Still same at 0046 August 6 but now with ACI
from 98.1 OKC station, sounds like overmodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CANADA. Richard LaCroix, ODXA, replies to my obs that Trenton
Military has been missing from VOLMET on 6754 USB and 15034 USB, but
there is another 2-way frequency:

``Glenn, 11232 is in fact busy. This is the Canadian Forces Military
Aeronautical Communications System (MACS).
Further information can be found here:
Military Aeronautical Communications System (MACS) Trenton
http://www.milspec.ca/canforce/facilities/macs/macs-trenton.html

You can find my MACS logs at the following URL:
Trenton Military General Log
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,114462.0.html

As for the VOLMET station, still to be determined. I contacted a work
colleague back on June 1st with regards to the clock being wrong (in
EDT vice ZULU time zone) with no response. Nature of the military, the
member may have been posted out, on leave or retired`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 21490, Aug 4 at 2319, Chinese S1/S4, i.e. CNR1 jammer vs
Sound of Hope. Would be OSOB if it were not for another much weaker
one on 21800, so it`s the SSOB. Nothing else on 13m (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, August 4 at 0633, mushy mess here, presumably RHC,
rather than extension on 11670 or 11760 as often happens. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. Checking on the DX-398 with clipon, since main rx
R75 had been off and now requires about 23 minutes to warm up for
normal modulation output (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9439.995, August 4 at *2115, R. Cairo cuts on,
S9+35/45 into UTwente, undermodulated but what English? remains is
extremely distorted. Not paying much attn but at 2130 notice it`s off
the air: good! But *2132 back on the air. 2135* off again, back and
forth, then mostly off. Something`s always egregious in Egypt.

Meanwhile this Friday hour, I`m mainly listening to `Behavior Night`
on WBCQ webcast with incomparably higher fi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA [non]. 7290, August 4 at 1025, JBA carrier, presumably
CNR1 which starts at 1000. When I happened to upwake, first checking
for RRI Nabire, which I never hear earlier before bedtime on its
limited sked, but now it`s too late. Would you believe that Aoki has
no entry for it at all, despite Ron Howard`s very frequent logs of
it?? EiBi shows two irr. spans, 0600-0940 & 0940-1100, but Ron never
reports it before 0800. Best chance would be during 09-10 hour when
even a JBA carrier could be confirmed by its always-minus offset.

Ron`s latest log: ``7289.93, RRI Nabire Pro 1, 0825 till cut off at
0915* UT, July 28. The usual EZL music/songs/announcers/Islamic
Shalawat Tarhim prayer/Maghrib (sunset) call-to-prayer. A good day
here with decent reception.`` Dene Lynneberg in NZ DX Times had it 26
July at 0804-1000 via South Australia remote on 7289.95.

HFCC A23 is even more misleading, showing 7290, 1 kW ND from NAB at
05-08 & 23-02, in ENGLISH! The only others remaining, 3325 & 4750 are
also in ``Eng``. For years HFCC kept listing defunct RRI regional
tropicals as in English: at least those have been outweeded (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, August 4 at 0631, RNZP is back here as expected
after testing 24 hours ago on 9655 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6200, Aug 4 at 0639, JBA carrier into DX-398,
presumably pirate in SW USA, R. Vostochnaya Zvezda. So far I have had
nothing better from it here ex-7400, but Ron Howard reported, as
partially quoted on WORLD OF RADIO 2202:

``NORTH AMERICA. 6200 AM, Russian ethnic pirate Radio Channel Eastern
Star/Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda, 0846-0935 UT, Aug 3; clear boost in
power; mostly Russian ballads, with announcers in Russian and English
("Next song is . . . Thank you"); I check here regularly and had not
detected any signal recently. Nice to have stronger signal, but
unfortunately today I also noticed extremely strong summertime QRN
(static). In fact the worst I have heard all this year, but the signal
was cutting through the static fairly well, per attached brief audio.

Thanks very much for the quick (1915 UT Aug 3) reply to my report:

"Thank you so much for listening! Yes looks like a strong signal. I
can't wait to see what it will be like in the winter. I have made a
small adjustment and the power output will be even higher tonight.
Running class E, about 70 watts carrier can go up to 100 watts carrier
400 PEP but the modulator cannot handle it. It is already hot hot,
however the output final is only warm to the touch. I added cooling to
it and it is doing very well. The new board from China I designed on
JLCPCB has come as you can tell, hence the stronger signal :)
Everything is going hand in hand with my math now. It looks like there
is only some little error due to changes in temperature and so on,
that is perfect for this purpose though. I am running more power than
I have ever before on shortwave. Even when I had the Ameritron. Keep
your eyes peeled, I might be doing some SSTV soon. That will be when I
have a very strong signal. I will be adding a handful of new songs
soon too. Also that name change is still coming up. Best regards and
good luck dxing!"`` via Ron Howard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Aug 4 at 2324, steady S9 open carrier from
some local CBer on what should be a busy calling channel. Also a day
or two ago; could be keyed down 24/7. Why not relay a local FM station
as before? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 4775, August 4 at 1027, JBA music vs CODAR. Since
turning it on at 0630 just before bedtime I let the R75 run until I
happen to awaken, for a quick bandscan. This must have been R. Tarma,
which I don`t hear during my usual listening spans. By this time, also
carrier on 4940 presumably Colombizuela, but 4885 Brasil already
outfaded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 4 at 2200, token English from SNR is still in
summer mode, i.e. nothing is happening in Spain, so no news and no one
present, just playing back canned stuff, this time a Feb interview
about some play I`m sure I have never seen and never shall. At least
the other three frequencies are also running, in quick check via
Maryland SDR. Since there are at least 3? people in the English
department now, why don`t they take turns going on vacation so normal
current programming can continue? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.006, Aug 4, VOT cuts on a few sex after 2200 with
dead air, off* a minute later. Fails to stay on with English. Would
have been good signal via UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2202 monitoring:
9955, Friday August 4 at 1430, after ID, WRMI plays RAE
Argentina To The World multi-lingual ID reel four or five times,
finally 1433 starts RAE in French; strange accent so I do not
recognize language at first. Unclear why a few weeks ago this suddenly
replaced what had been the earliest weekly WORLD OF RADIO airing,
which still appears on WRMI websked along with another imaginary one
on 9955, Saturday at 1930. And on the contrary I see WOR is no longer
shown Sunday at 1330 on 9955, so does that mean it *is* on?

Confirmed Friday August 4 at 2049 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz Villa Estense, and still no // on 918 or 207 kHz; S9+10 into
nearby Noale SDR with lite CCI but considerable storm crashing around

Kiowa KS, only thing of note during perfunctory bandscan twice of
caradio when MUF was not exceeding 88 MHz around here. Still dead at
2310 recheck. Surely is $ tereo when musicking? Another station where
nohuman is paying any attention to its own output.

Speaking of Kiowa, whatever became of Dr Scott Becker, onetime partner
of Allan Weiner at WBCQ? Several years ago he became a nonentity, not
even mentioned now anywhere on website. He did own a restaurant in

** NEW ZEALAND. 9655, Thu Aug 3 at 0629, BBC news relay finishing, RNZ
ID and into their own ``news at 6:30``. Surprise bigsig S9+10/20. Good
they are avoiding 9700 due to Cuba, Romania, Turkey. No signal on
11725 so moved? Or could be test as first Wed/Thu of month is
maintenance day. Earlier at 0604 John Hudak reported to ODXA:

``I heard Radio New Zealand on 6095 kHz this morning at 0540 UT (Aug.
3) with a fair signal. News items in English with a couple of definite
RNZ idents. They abruptly went off at 0543 in mid sentence but then
the carrier came back on a few times, and then nothing more. Could
this have been a program feed error to a wrong transmitter? Is 6095
even a frequency used by RNZ? I don't see it listed on their web page.

Neither 9655 nor 6095 on websked, so probably back to formers, but
could change at any time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2202)

[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]

(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 3)

COLOMBIA. 5909.952, July 27 at 0641, tropical music at S8/S9,
better signal than usual from always off-frequency Alcaraván Radio.
Brief burst of ``running water`` ute QRM.

Manuel Méndez in Spain reports: ``Alcaravan Radio 5910 on air again
after about 10 days out. Log in Oleiros, La Coruña, NW of Spain,
Sangean ATS-909X, cable antenna, 8 meters. COLOMBIA, 5910, Alcaraván
Radio, Puerto Lleras, 0450-0526, 27-07, religious and Latin American
songs, Spanish, religious comments, Colombian songs “Llaneras”.
25432.``

However, I don`t think it had been totally off. In regular bandscans I
had been crossing a JBA offset carrier, but not logged. Now there is
also a JBA carrier on 6010, probably Brasil rather than still inactive
sibling station LV de tu Conciencia.

Ron Howard also replied: ``Greetings, Manuel, from California. July
27, at 0742 & 0910 UT, heard a decent level carrier on 5910 kHz, but
no audio at all; normally in the past I always had good audio here.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2201)

CUBA. 6100, July 27 at 0646, undermodulated Spanish with
humbuzzwhine, no doubt RHC where something`s always wrong.

5025, July 27 at 0650, S9+20/30 of dead air except for some humbuzz,
from R. Rebelde, something`s always wrong at Radio Cuba. David
Crawford, FL replied to my previous reports, July 27 at 0156 UT:
``Tonight's treat is what sounds like video buzz, rather than the
recently-typical Rebelde FM audio, on 5025. And after the one reported
active "sunset" session, HM01 has been quiet again since, at least for
the local midday and sunset schedules. I have not checked the
madrugada scheduled times and freqs.``

Ron Howard, CA replies later on July 27: Cuba (5025) noted at 0743 &
0909 UT, with strong carrier, along with a strong hum, but no audio.

CUBA. 11760, July 28 at 0715, overtime RHC Spanish S9+10 but JBM.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. It`s the only log I make this
late-night due to horrible S9+10 noise level all over the bands:
suspect from neighbor and/or thru power lines. I may have to rely even
more on remote receivers, but many of them also have `line noise`
problems. Abated by 15 UT enough to tell that propagation is now
degraded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 15230, July 28 at 2316, RHC S9/+10 of dead air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 11760, July 29 at 0704, RHC extension still on, in Spanish,
S9/+10 and somewhat undermodulated. Also unusually with dirty
parasitic spurs plus/minus 3 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 6000, July 31 at 0642, RHC English JBM with humwhine,
S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 11950, July 31 at 2349, S9/S4 of dead air from `Mesa Redonda`
alt. Spanish frequency; supposed to be // 6000, which at 2355 is DA or
maybe JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 13650, July 31 at 2347, all-music CRI `Portuguese` relay, now
with dirty spurs about 2.5 kHz plus/minus. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OOK, WOR)

CUBA. 11670, August 1 at 0646, tonight`s extra RHC, Spanish,
S9+10/20 and undermodulated; also with squeal and dirty spurs about
plus/minus 3 kHz. Same symptom I logged July 29 at 0704 on 11760.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 11760, August 2 at 0629, RHC Spanish prolongation here
tonight, S9+20 and good modulation for a change, no spurs either.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
