U S A. 7490-, Sunday August 13 at 2300, especially since CBS-TV `60
Minutes` is going to run more than an hour late due to stupid
golfgame, I stay on WBCQ webcast after `Ginga Brasil` for Harry
Shearer`s `Le Show`, but stream stops at 2302*. I bring up 7490 itself
into Maryland SDR, and it`s also off. Then find 6160, 5130 and 9330
are also off. Must be total power failure at Monticello; of course I
don`t know for sure whether the other frequencies were axually on
until then. By 2312, webcast resumed but not 7490 until *2314 carrier,
*2316 add modulation, and staying on rest of hour. NA5B remote shows
7490 -106 Hz, but we know it`s miscalibrated, see TURKEY. Alexandria
VA is closer at -71 Hz as it puts WWV at 10000 +3/4 Hz, 15000 +5/6 Hz.

9330 still off at 2324, and at much later check 0324 Aug 14. At 0215
August 14 I try the W1NT in NH, which has WWV on 5 and 10 MHz within 1
Hz or less. And 6160 as -67/68 Hz = 6159.9325 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Nothing noted Aug 18 at 16.35 UT on 5130v kHz.

9330even Proper S=9+15dB signal, English of WBCQ - WLC likely, at 16.20 UT

and also

poor WBCQ signal string visible on 6159.933 kHz at 16.38 UT on Aug 18.

** CUBA. 9700, Aug 17 at 0648, drama in American English, completely
produced with sound effects, NOT typical RHC programming, but this has
got to be RHC transmitter extension, huge S9+20/30 rather than some
pirate. Also an undercurrent of Spanish audio. Perhaps site plugged
into wrong program feed, even something off satellite? Keeps going
past 0700 with no break, when I`ve got to quit. Something`s always
wrong at RHC.

Paul Walker, Alaska, was also hearing this: ``R. Havana Cuba Stoops To
A New Level Of... I'm not sure what to call what I heard last
night/this morning. They were broadcasting English language movie
audio last night in the 0700 UT. Not just snippets, but an entire
Robin Williams movie. The slightly odd but not shocking thing was, RHC
program audio was heard under the movie audio. The movie audio was
quite well heard, clean, easy to understand. The program audio was way
way under that barely rising to barely detectable levels. Even after
9700 should've signed off, it continued on, but solely with audio from
another movie. Not sure what in the world was going on!``

I did not recognize Robin Williams, but this was not a comedy. I
recall hearing a similar anomaly at least once before, but difficult
to find among all my RHC logs. Maybe the ops were watching a movie in
the shack, mistakenly putting it on the air?

Paul replies: ``A friend and I were texting as we both DX'd, he in
Mobile Alabama. He identified it was Robin Williams as I wasn`t at my
radio at the time, but I rushed over to it; and I would've recognized
the voice as Robin Williams shortly, if my friend hadn`t told me. In
continued listening my friend was even able to ID the movie, "Cadillac
Man"`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2204)

** BRAZIL. 9665v, Aug 16 at 0647, RVM is missing again. Still
something JBA on 11750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 15190.127, Aug 16 at 2318, JBA carrier I`m confident is R.
Inconfidência; all ZYs must be off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 15555, Aug 16 at 2322, S5/S7 with flutter,
Chinese. Jamming this hour only vs RFA Chinese via Saipan. Fortunately
not overlapping with WJHR span, which earlier this afternoon had VG
USB signal, much better than US AM stations on 19m, 15610, 15770. Must
have been a limited-area sporadic E boost (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15920, 14920, 13920, Aug 16 at 2329, JBA carriers from Sound
of Hope jammers on their favorite triad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9565, Aug 16 at 0645, residual jamming against no Martí, also
with as occasionally happens, BFO-audible, two tones alternating,
axually CW at slightly offset frequencies. Counted 25 in a row once,
then 38 in a row, with brief pauses between. Why? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Aug 16 at 2320, RHC Spanish, S9+10/20 but very
sup/torted. Wiggle that patchcord. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
The Other Side:

``Fidel Castro: 'History will absolve me.' What 'social triumphs' can
Cubans claim 70 years on? To defend his actions, Castro pointed to the
'terrible tragedy' that Cuba was suffering in six areas: land,
industrialization, housing, unemployment, education and public
health``

** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 28466 USB, Aug 16 at 2335, HI8RD making very
quick contacts with US stations. Not positive about last letter in his
rare own IDs, think it was Denmark. Only one other phone signal on
band, and no CW beacons at all.
HI8RD Dominican Republic flag Dominican Republic Rig - Rigoberto Diaz

His qrz.com page is huge with certificates/awards, equipment and

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 16 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG into
Virginia SDR, and the other three also audible, good to fair. Brief
news, then interview with a guy about roller coasters and themeparx -
lo fi on phone and heavy accent. Entire show co-hostessed by the two
remaining YLs Amy Egan and Marilín Quintana. Nothing heard of OM
Justin Coe for some time -- still just on holiday? O, Aug 16 is World
Rollercoaster Day as well as the unrelated Madonna`s 65th birthday,
closing with bit of a song by her, ¿Where Is Isla Bonita? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 16 from 2200 past 2235, no show, no signal
from VOT English to us. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Aug 15 at 1910, no signal from LRA36
into Argentine remote, just S5 of noise. If it`s Tuesday, must have
been Base Esperanza, reported earlier at 1640 by Manuel Méndez direct
to Spain. Is it now every day, almost? Last week I caught it on
Thursday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOTSWANA. 13830, Aug 15 before & after 0630, S7/S9 of dead air.
That would be VOA French at 0530-0630 M-F but not turned off yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 3330 RC USB, Aug 15 at 1459, Ottawa VE3HOA SDR is getting
3330 and the other CHUs, so back on air; after Richard Langley
reported System Status finally acknowledged the offage once it were
onagain:
``Should be back on now. Here's the latest status report:
Off: 2023-08-09 @ 00:00 --- On: 2023-08-15 @ 11:00 3.330 MHz``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17765, Aug 15 at 1722, S7/S9 with flutter in song,
sounds Chinesish, among few sigs on 16m. Aoki shows CRI French at
1600-1757 via Kashi-Saiba; land of ChiCom imperialist genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems. And nothing else anywhen on 17765; it was
once the 16m home of AFRTS, Delano, California (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1140 & 1490, Aug 15 at 1705 UT, KRMP OKC & KMFS Guthrie
are back on air at normal levels after yesterday`s anomalies, QRP and
QRT respectively (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1340, Aug 15 at 1718 UT, dominant KGHM has SAH ~counting
7 Hz from a second station, presumably next-closest KJMU Sand Springs,
especially on my favorable E/W longwire. KJMU listed strangely as 500
watts day/1000 night in last year`s NRC AM Log, but it`s had lots of
problems as recounted six times this year in NRC DX News with FCC
info, most currently the Aug 14 issue: ``1340 KJMU OK Sand Springs –
Granted STA, D1 125 from backup transmitter``. And previously: ``1340
KJMU OK Sand Springs – Silent since Jan. 8; on the air with U1 125/250
May 24.`` Supposedly Spanish; radio-locator calls it Radio La Raza,
which of course is not to be taken as racist. About the SAH, mwoffsets
has no entry for any OK but KGHM, which was 0.4 Hz high as of
2018-01-23 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 15 at 1708 UT, as far as I can tell, KOCD
Okeene still dead air, weak signal with occasional airplane surges, or
MS burst QRM. But also traces of another fringer. In OK there are
three translators and another Spanish, 6.2 kW in Collnsville; while
Kansas has three non-translators, most likely another Spanish, KSMM
Liberal, which I caught July 12 q.v., despite WTFDA DB *still* listing
it as silent since 4/28/22 due to xmtr failure which was/is? 100 kW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 15 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air
today, VG S9+45/50 into UTwente, also good modulation. Sign/on by
badax as always canned, but then News read by guy with clear English.
2211 going from `Review of the Turkish Press` which is always very
brief, into 2-minute multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2213 song. 2216
`Weekly Commentry` read by badax, penned by British scholar Hakim?
----, specializing in African affairs: UN says Aug 23 is International
Day for Remembrance of Slave Trade and its Evolution. A curriculum
being established about this history in Britain. Need to change from
Euro-centric. About University of Chichester; all this has no
Tuerkiyeish angle. By concentrating I manage to understand most of it.
Aug 23 is anniversary of Haitian? revolution in 1791. 2227 song, now
overmodulated/distorted. 2231 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products`
about --something-- cheese candy. 2233 again! 2-minute multi-lingual
ID filler reel. 2236 ``Always by your side`` promo, songs. 2240 for
third time! multi-lingual ID filler reel: enough is enough is enough!
2242 another song. And nothing but more songs until 2252 canned s/off
by badax. 2254 IS plays for a fraxion more than once and off* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, Aug 15 at 1620 and still 1727, 1806, WWCR-4 is off
again today. Wonder if TOMBS has deliberately cut back? They never
understood the pointlessness, wastefulness of many duplicative
frequencies on US SW stations, but they were rolling in dough from
deceptees.

Transmitter sked dated June 1-August 31 still shows 9980 at 1200-2400.
But program sked dated August 1 admits it`s OFF AIR M-F 7-9 am & 11
am-3 pm Central, misconverted like everything as 13-15 & 17-21 UT.
Which one are we to believe? On weekdays there are several other
huxters, even Tony Alámo on WWCR-4, but Sat & Sun 5890/9980/7520 are
24h nothing but TOMBS.

Aug 15 at 2018, 9980 is back on already with `Financial Survival`,
which is at ``3:00P`` Central, so if you read that as CDT instead of
CST, it`s correct while ALL the UTC in the right column are WRONG, and
must be read as one real hour earlier than shown! After all these
years, WWCR still hasn`t understood UT conversion.

Reminds me of WINB 9265 several weeks ago, with similar confusion,
making it hard to correlate what was being heard with schedule. Now
they have an August 6 version showing correct 4-hour difference
between EDT and UT. NO, it`s still a mess. At 2300 English intro to
some Spanish huxter from Texas. Sked shows no Spanish now, but
2230-2400 `The Essentials of Life and Wellness`. Listening to webcast.
O, o, at 2305 he switches to English. No more info at WINB about that
show but search on title leads to a Dr William Wong, about health and
medicine, not religion, and not Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7640, Aug 15 at 0641, S9+10/20 of open carrier. Probably
ute, like idle RTTY but not noticed before, rather than a new
broadcast intruder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
