** U S A. 9329.986, Aug 13 at 0610, WBCQ S7-S9 in Spanish, presumed
WLCR. Pretty good signal now if only 5 kW as Ivo says, but not 500 kW
again yet. And only 14 Hz off-frequency! WBCQ own schedule does not
show which languages at which times, but Aoki says Spanish at
0600-0757. This could be a CCI problem for Cuban Spy Numbers after
0700. However, HFCC claims this bihour be in English, only 250 kW at
280 degrees not toward any SS-land; while Spanish at other hours
should be on 76, 180 or 220 azimuths (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Aug 14 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`,
the whole show a conversation between Allan and `Pirate Joe`, J.P.
Ferraro on the phone --- -9180 line is hummy so change to -0982. We
hardly hear a word from Angela altho she still gets top billing. The
guys are reminiscing on the 50th anniversary of Aug 12, 1971, when
their first pirate radio stations were busted by the FCC. Do you
remember this? that? Back and forth. A lot of details I don`t try to
copy. They had been on the air since 1969 in Yonkers NY, first on MW
1620 when the band ended at 1600; then to FM 108.1 but soon 87.9 to
avoid causing any QRM. 50 watts power carried a lot further on FM than
on AM with no ground plane. Mentioned calls briefly: WFSR-AM as in
Falling Star Radio or Free Speech Radio; WSEX-FM; WKOV-AM and one more
I missed.

Finally down to business at 0055 about the axual FCC raid. The Feds
visited Allan`s place at 5 am, and JP`s at 8 am on the same day. They
let the air out of one tire of JP`s 1953 Plymouth so he couldn`t flee.
The two were handcuffed together, spent a few hours in jail along with
rapists, who avoided them once they said they were in for pirate
radio. Pled guilty of federal misdemeanors, violating Communications
Act of 1934; Allan`s dad, a lawyer, bailed them out. Got probation for
one year, no fines: these are the roots of WBCQ. They do never get to
later pirate activities long before WBCQ and WHVW would be licensed.

Update on the SuperStition: still waiting for replacement PA tube,
meanwhile on unspecified low-power backup. 0059 prayer, 0101 join Hal
Turner late as seems to be the case every week now. John Carver`s
version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490. Allan later
announced they were also broadcasting on 3265 and 4790. Allan and
Angela in the studio. Opening talk about the heat in Northern
Maine-ninety degrees today. Some more talk about Angela's affinity for
the small wild animals around the station. Main topic of tonight's
show is to be free radio and Allan starts with the history of his
first pirate stations when he was a boy. Pirate Joe is to join him on
the phone for the talk. Phone call at 0010 has problems with the audio
so Allan has him call in on another line. The two of them start to
talk of their early radio stations as yesterday was the fiftieth
anniversary of the FCC raid that shut them down. Noise starts to come
up around 0018 making it difficult to copy as the volume on the phone
is so low it's difficult to hear Pirate Joe. They talk about their
first meeting and the early days of their pirate stations. Signal
covered over by some sort of noise around 0040 that just gets worse.
Can't copy a thing. The same noise is on 6160 and 4790. I go back to
7490 and listen to the rest of the show but all I can hear is noise.
Sorry. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

nor the other I check in MO; but sufficient S8-S9 at #3 of VE6JY
Alberta. That should tell us something about skip distance from true

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed Aug 11 at 1447, NO signal from
LRA36 into two Brazilian remotes. Wed used to be their primary day,
last week followed by additional Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun, but not Mon or Tue.
Wonder if they were running out the clock before a prolonged hiatus?
Maybe not. Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, forwards a note in the form of
jpg which I translate:

``THE NEW LRA 36 --- Today 16:23 --- Dear Audience, we inform you that
due to adverse meteorological conditions, unfortunately we are not
able to emit the program on shortwave. Our sincere apologies for this;
we are working to resume the service again. Thanks for your

** CUBA. 11880, Aug 11 at 2302 and later, NO signal from RHC English,
but audible on noisy 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, Aug 11 at 2157, VOT IS and IDs in English,
on the air today after at least two days missing; S9/+20 into Maryland
SDR but undermodulated; still past 2230 COVID-19 PSA while I was
mainly listening to the competition from Spain; 2250 direct, already
dead air and soon off. Had a much stronger signal here than REE 17855,
equally strong there and louderly modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2098 monitoring: as usual I sleep thru the
1030 Wed on WRMI 5850, August 11. Did anyone hear it? When it is on, I
wonder if anyone is axually listening, by chance or intentionally, in
the Pacific or east Asia when this is prime evening time?

Confirmed Wed Aug 11 after 2100 on WRMI 7780, good S8-S9 via NA5B SDR
in Maryland which shows carrier offset only +0.2 Hz. And about 21
seconds later on WBCQ 7489.9, carrier +1.5 Hz; same meter strength
S8-S9 but then to +10. Louder modulation on WBCQ. Both marred by
storm crashes as there is a huge line from Louisiana to Vermont
including the WDC area. Next:

OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Aug 11 at 2258, this WRMI is still off like last
night; #5 transmitter supposedly 24h mainly TOMBS or SMTV, but briefer
segments of Family Radio, RAE. 285 degrees, same azimuth as 7730 #13
but always much weaker than it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4790, Aug 11 at 0615, TOMBS via WBCQ, allegedly 50 KW, is
VP, with some CODAR QRM both plus and minus. So this is not so ideal a
frequency after all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Aug 11 at 0616, WWCR with S9+30 of DEAD AIR AGAIN,
rather than TOMBS. Standard remarx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Altice/Suddenlink cable TV interrupts whatever channel we
are watching and presumably all of them for a nationwide emergency
alert test, Aug 11 at 1822 UT -- as we dodge for the mute button, and
also quickly turn on the R75 for a MW bandscan, but by then, no sign
of the test, all ops normal. The nominal time for it was 1820 UT; it
seems that overtaking OTA broadcasting and cable is now an
afterthought to these:

** ANDORRA [non]. As previously reported, I heard the R. Andorra
special via AUSTRIA 6180 via a remote receiver. I did not send them a
reception report nor request a QSL. However, it was announced that the
``QSLs`` would be generic, not personalized to name the recipient, so
I am no less generic in claiming this as it might as well be mine, one
of several reproduxions of it on the web:
https://aer.org.es/archivos/30542
In fact it does not say it`s a QSL or verifying anything, more like a
publicity poster. BTW, I am not put off by kelka shows in French: it
is probably my fourth-best language (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Aug 10 at 1510, no signal into Brasil
SDR from LRA36 this Tuesday; we`ll see if it`s back Wednesday, which
had been its #1 DOW, until last week it kept showing up on Thu, Fri,
Sat, Sun; but not Mon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 11 at 0126, no signal from R. Progreso, nominally
*0030-0400*. Gone too are its scratchyspurs 17-18 kHz above and below.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, Aug 10 at 1854, RHC in Kriyol // 15140, but 15370 is
not supposed to be on yet, rather from *1930 in French starting Euro
service. So I keep on it for English to get duplicated too, but 15370
goes off at 1900* just as English start on 15140. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9535 & 9710, Aug 11 at 0132, both RHC Spanish 31 mb
frequencies are missing; 11850 is S9/+10 but as so often is JBM and
suptorted; JBA parasitic spur carrier also on 11840. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. Not missing are 13740 & 11670 in Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Aug 11 at 0134, RHC in English! instead of Spanish,
undermodulated and with humbuzz much like that infesting 6060 after
0500. // 6000 is much louder and 6165 less so. Feedlines mixed up?
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9580, Aug 11 at 0133, CRI English relay is S9+30/40,
undermodulated and slightly distorted. But sufficient with volume
turned up, American accent about American events; could it really be
CHINA?? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba; while RHC itself is
missing from 9535 & 9710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Aug 10 at 1508, Kashmir Civitas weekly
clandestine reconfirmed this Tuesday, via IRRS presumably Romania,
usual Urdu talk and music, VG S9/+10 into UTwente. But at 1523
already, sudden cut to classic song in English ``This Magic Moment``,
and more rock to 1529* with no announcements. Unknown whether KashCiv
show were short this week or something went wrong to chop it,
defaulting to fill music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 10 circa 2210, VOT is missing again from North
American English. Not even a signal at UTwente. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), Aug 9 at 2329, after listening to the secret
repeat of the first half of `UBMP` on WBCQ webcast, Monday at 2300, a
spot commercial for Progressive Insurance, immediately followed by the
regular 2330 show `Camp Constitution Radio`. It`s hard to believe that
a major advertiser such as P.I. would intentionally be sponsoring such
an obscure political SW show. What is going on? Have they bought some
spots on WBCQ and one happens to be inserted here [as I noticed once
before: maybe every week]? Spot advertising on US SW stations is
exceeding rare, not to be confused with commercials within a
totally-sponsored syndicated show; tho some appear amid otherwise
unrelated musical filler on WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Aug 11 at 0131, tonight`s missing WRMI frequency,
while neighbor 9395 achieves S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7506-7508, Aug 10 at 2230, multiple random tones, or
rather carriers on slightly different frequencies, at UTwente audible
in SSB or SynchAM modes, but not plain AM. Will not lock on to one
specific carrier frequency. Not CW, i.e. Morse with a message. Seems
unrelated to weak signal on 7505, which is RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan
this hour only; and/or ChiCom jamming. The tones could be a different
kind of jamming, but they continue past 2300 when 7505 has gone off.
In fact, beepery still at 2345. Not a UTwente artifact, as same thing
heard on nearby Nordhorn, Germany SDR at 2349.

Normally I employ remote SDRs just to check something out on a
specific frequency, rather than full bandscanning which I do myself to
discover new things: but the noise level here is so bad and the
propagation currently so poor that I was bandscanning 7300+ up at
UTwente, with probably more to come (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
