** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 10125-USB, phone not CW, July 18 at 0643, JBA
Aussies in ragchew; one IDs as VK5-something. Same frequency as much
more regular HK3QQ Bogotá, Colombia with its slow sequences of CW
letters in keyboard order, some with errors, but no QRM with BFO on
USB 10125 exactly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. The only ZY on three SW frequencies at once, R. Voz
Missionária, and never exact as I measure them this time, July 18 at
0624-0630, with music and Portuguese ID:
5940.220, S7 vs HSNL;
9664.901, S5/9;
11750.062, S4/S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, July 18 at 0150, no signal from RHC. Sometimes on here
in English, leaving only 6000 at 0151, S9+10/20 but
undermodulatedistortion. 9700 supposedly ex-6165, never heard any
more. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 18 at 0645, RHC in Spanish, S9+10/20 and the SSOB
on this overrun ``daytime`` frequency sometimes latenight rather than
9535, 9700, 11670 or 11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 11760, July 8 at 2207, RHC Spanish only S4/S6 with
QRM from Chinese music. That would be CRI `Portuguese` with fill-music
only as per Aoki sked this hour from Xianyang 59 site. Commies vs
Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, July 18 at 2208, RHC S1/S6 with trace? of modulation,
also parasite JBA carriers 11840; and 11860 QRMing jamming against
nothing. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.918 AM, July 18 at 0634, never-IDing pirate a
regular late-night, S8/S9, music and talk. Lucas Bandura, BC, got an
eQSL presumably for a report on some forum such as HFU;

** TURKEY. 11785, July 18 at 2200 and later, no signal from VOT
English direct. Propagation degraded but ought to get something; Spain
still VG on 17855. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15120, July 18 at 2203, S8/S9 of dead air, no doubt VOA
Grimesland slow to turn off after weekday 2130-2200 Bambara (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2199 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday July 18 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+15/20 into Maryland SDR to
the NNE tho beamed NNW; as usual at this time, Jeff tries to insert a
``The World is in Turmoil`` SW receiver commercial after the ID until
WOR starts.

It seems that WORLD OF RADIO is back on SW from Australia, low-power
LSB instead of USB. Website https://www.uniqueradio.biz/
now says:

``WE BROADCAST ON 5035 kHz LSB up until 9PM & 3210 kHz USB after 9PM
AEST {= changing at 11 UT}

So that includes WORLD OF RADIO, Wed 1000 & 1030 UT, the second
presumably being previous week`s edition; but no longer on Sundays.

** U S A. 7505, July 18 at 0149, WRNO S9+20 but still distorted
modulation like 24h ago; hard to describe but unlike distortion heard
elsewhere such as Cairo or Cuba. Is nobody listening at HQ? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, July 18 at 2159, bit of music from WMLK about to close
and shortly off. Last time I ran across 15150 after 0600 it was quite
weak for 300 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Frank Merrill replies on the IRCA iog to my repeated and
latest report of KLEY 1130 Wellington KS running full power at night:

``Daytimers on the air at night -- fmerrilljr -- Jul 17 -- #35167

Wow, WHKY is *STILL* on huge power at night? I noticed that years
ago. I haven't DX'ed on AM in a number of years, and I no longer have
a location to do so regularly, so I won't start again (from Chicago,
in the City). I'm also in a highrise there, with a very high noise
floor; trying to hear anything that crosses an ocean would be entirely
futile. All that said, I will never lose interest in it.

Just this past week I've read an article saying that the FCC will not
enforce any station running outside its parameters (such as KLEY
full-power at night), unless a co-channel broadcaster complains.
(This was written in response to one of Glenn Hauser's reports that he
notes KLEY on with full power at night, rather than their one-watt
licensed night power.) KWKH probably doesn't even care, unless KLEY
would QRM the signal within the listening area, which is not likely
with 250 watts. More likely for QRM from WISN or WBBR (strong
night-pattern protection notwithstanding) even before any worries
about a Kansas 250-watter.

This can also respond to the Dayton stations on 1290 and 1410 very
possibly not caring at all that they're being blasted by stations
southeast of them running unauthorized night power. Unlike the 1130
situation with KLEY/KWKH, I would definitely think that WHKY and WHLN
could very easily be "eating into" Dayton's SUBURBAN coverage, at
least. They still might not care.

All of this is ALMOST like a criminal court proceeding: the
"plaintiff" (such as KWKH or WING) apparently needs to have standing
for the FCC to enforce such infractions. KWKH would of course have
standing, but a DX'er does not.

That seems to be as good explanation of why a station can stray from
its licensed parameters for years at a time and, no matter how blatant
it seems, nothing usually happens until they just decide to stop ---
which gives them no incentive at all to stop.

UNRELATED, BUT FUN FACT: The small town town of North, South Carolina
is southeast of Due West.`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, July 18 at 0636, R. Vanuatu, YL in Bislama with
service announcements, S9/+10. There every night and not always
relogged; until it isn`t (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Ifrikya FM sites and frequencies are on with rock music, mentions
``Afrique`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, July 17 at 0124, S9+10/20 of big humbuzz, obviously RHC
but English or Spanish? No program mod; wiggle that patchcord.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, July 17 at 0633, extra tonight in Spanish S7/S9 but
just barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon July 17 at 2206, token English from SNR, VG into
Maryland SDR and other three frequencies also audible; feature is
interview with an award-winning Canadian photographer specialising in
sub-Saharan Africa, sorely lacking any visual element. 2226 a brief
report about algo from Beirut correspondent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7260, July 17 at 0129, VOT multi-lingual ID filler reel,
during Spanish hour - IDess for that language is really cutesy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.019, July 17 at 2159, VOT IS, not off the air today,
S9+30 into UTwente, 2200 quite distorted in s/on also by distorted
accentedess, a double-whammy encouraging tuneout. Recheck 2258 it`s
off already, so no extra German or Portuguese. Something`s always awry
at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2199 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday July 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9 into Durango2, Mexico SDR,
again with external noise blast first 14 seconds. Louisiana SDR
accessible later, S9/+10 with storm crashes all over LA.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 17 at 0302 just underway on Area 51,
modulating via WBCQ 6160 minus 68 Hz = 6159.932, S7/9+10 into Maryland
SDR; followed after 0330 by barnyard/animal sounds, apparently
W.D.C.D. as at 0358, still past 0401+ rather than TOMBS. Sked shows
H.R.I. at 0330, W.D.C.D. before WOR at 0230. Next:

** U S A. 9455, July 17 at 0122, this WRMI is DA or JBM at best,
S9+10/20. It`s either Legends per System K sked, or RAE Spanish per
transmitter grid, one of many inconsistencies, contradixions (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 17 at 0130, WRNO is on at S9+20/30 but distorted
music. Something`s messed up at Metairie or SNAFU at Fort Worth (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. FM DX: DXMAP shows sporadic E reaching OK, but as often
happens I`m getting instead mostly tropo extending into far reaches of
OK, north TX and even LA, KXKS-FM 93.7 Shreveport, July 17 at
1554/1816+ UT, blocking Es if any. Again 2026-2108 UT now some Es
making it from the east, including WBJC 91.5 Baltimore MD. Details of
all this yet to be compiled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

ALGERIA. 13590, July 15 at 0111, S7/S9 of just barely modulated
music, presumed Ifrikya FM as usual. Nothing on 13790 now. The latter
is always there after 0600 making a double het with CNR1/RFA Saipan.
EiBi, Aoki, HFCC July 13 and WRTH Update #15 as of July 14 all agree
on: 21-03 13590, 131 degrees from Béchar; 13790 20-09, 210 from
Ouargla. And they are all wrong, quoting excessive registrations
rather than monitored usage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

novelty song, S9/+10 as measured now; earlier also at 0419 same level
with country/rock song. More logs this date, never any IDs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,115988.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935- AM, slightly on low side, July 16 at 0420, JBA
music, only pirate besides 6870-; many reports here as All Azteca
Relay Service, 0304-0434* on 6934.968:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 31, July 16 at 1515 UT, tropo blob over eastern OK
brings us KOET ``3`` Eufaula, drop-in OETA relay the only signal
decoding, and all four channels for a while, unlike HQ KETA 13 ``13``
inferior VHF, which often has insufficient signal at this fringe of
its coverage area from OKC. Program is `Doc Martin` as the final
season #9 is finally airing here; we`ll watch the repeat UT Monday at
0300, having also missed the first run UT Friday at 0200.

Bandscan now also gets BAD signals on: RF 10, 11, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21,
22, 28, 34, 36. AND NO signal at all on RF 7 from KOCO ``5`` OKC -- is
it off? Often insuff into my antenna; by 1620 it`s increased to Bad.
17 is never solid K17JN-D Enid 3ABN satellator any more: suspect it`s
underpowered, not needing any DX to ruin it. Note also 18, as KOPX
``62`` OKC must be Baddened by DX QRM now, soon recovered (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SINGAPORE. 12025, July 16 at 1502, NO signal from BBCWS relay in
English, as the Kranji site has been deleted as of the date long
expected from HFCC info, despite own incompetent announcements for at
least a week that it would be gone from ``tomorrow``. Numerous WOR iog
monitors found other frequencies terminated as of 2359 UT July 15.
Also, traces of something still on 12025, ChiCom jammer?

This situation has been a hot topic on the WOR iog. At Switzerland in
Sound, of all places, Keith Perron asserted that the real reason is
expiration of the lease on land of the site; Singapore wants it back
for other purposes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13566.40, July 16 at 0413, HIFER beacon RVA is JBA vs CODAR.
Is Richmond VA, heard before but rarely. Exact frequency from LWCA
roster; I had only 13566.5 approx. Says operator is unknown (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2199 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday July 16 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, VP into Maryland SDR with HSNL,
and noise QRM blast first 14 seconds; S9/+10 however into Durango2
México SDR. Usually best at Maurice, Louisiana which was tied up.
Those lucky central Americans in the boresight of this SW from Okee
unlike those of us in N America.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 16 from 0311 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM MO,
S9+15 into nearby SDR with HSNL altho radar shows none nearby.

Also confirmed Sunday July 16 at 1356 the 1330 on WRMI 9955, only
airing left on WRMI-3, S5/S8, no jamming audible. This is also the
only time available via WRMI.net webcast and even phonecast:
