Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed Aug 17 before 1500, LU4AA remote is
busy so I try another Argie for LRA36, but nothing or maybe a trace;
1501 I can get onto LR4AA and find RNASG loud S9/+10 in canned sign-on
routine, 1502 themesong, 1505 history about Genl. San Martín, but
1507* dumps off air and never comes back as I let it run until the
60-minute timeout. Better luck Saturday; or Friday? for playback if
they kept recording (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Aug 17 at 0631, presumed RHC Spanish instead of
English, since it`s music not // much stronger RHC English on 6060 &
6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Aug 17 at 2200, R. Cairo only big humwhine into
UTwente; 2221 recheck, it`s off before nominal 2245* of 2115 English.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Aug 17 at 2200, NO signal from REE token English on
Wednesday, into UTwente and Maryland. Propagation is degraded but not
that much. 15520 for ME is however S8/9+10 into UTwente, VG S7/S9 into
Maryland; 11940 for S America is *horribly distorted* into both. 11670
is S7/S9 with a squeal into Maryland. Something`s nonsensical at
Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [and non]. Wolfgang Bueschel replies to my logs of Sound of
Hope and/or CNR1 jamming on or around 18900, 18970, 21530:

``18900even CHN CNR1 Jammer Mandarin, 2200-2400 UT 11 - 24 kHz wide
broad-Audio block. S=7 on Aug 11, off switch at 2400 UT after pips at
2330 UT. Start S=9 sig of different jammer on Aug 12 at 0112 & 0002
UT. S=9+20dB powerful jammer on Aug 15 at 1335 UT.

18900.021 CHN CNR1 jamming, 12 kHz wide audio block. at 0431 UT,
18899.549 TWN SOH Mandarin Falun Gong sect, S=6 in Tokyo-JPN.

18969.816 TWN SOH Xi Wang Zhi Shen Chi Miaoli Aug 12 0003 UT. S=9 in

18970even 2200-1000 CHN CNR1 Jammer Mandarin, 20 kHz wide broad audio,
S=8 on August 12, against 0040 UT.

21530even CHN CNR1 program jamming powerful signal. S=9+20dB at 0037
UT; on August 12 also 0110 UT.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 17 at 2200, 2221, 2245 chex into UTwente and/or
Maryland SDRs, NO signal from VOT. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

New WOR 2152 should be ready for download early UT Friday August 19
and first broadcasts at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 17 at 1812 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is
modulating! with rock music. Had been dead air for many weeks whenever
checked day or night tho not tuned every day. Last log of it
modulating was June 1. Something`s always wacky at Wellington (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Hi Terry, Yes. 1430, Aug 17 at 0452 UT, could make it // 9915.
Figured would not be synch but only a reverb apart. Heavy QRM
dominated by CBS Sports Radio, maybe WXNT IN? Could not get a WPLN ID

This follows his previous report:

1430 TENNESSEE WPLN Madison 0703 8/14/22 Surprised to stumble upon BBC
World Service here, often peaking near local level, pointing north.
So, WPLN on 15 kW day power instead of 1000 watts night. Wonderful to
hear BBC WS in glorious mono amplitude modulation. Just a couple
seconds behind my semi-local WFSW-FM 89.1 MHz NPR affiliate (mostly a
WFSU-FM Tallahassee/different Time Zone simulcast – but not always)
that runs BBC WS overnights. So do WUWF-FM Pensacola, 88.1 MHz – about
equal distance from me but instead west – however, they divert to Jazz
and things overnights local weekends. There again the following early
morning (local Sunday), so either a weekend fail, or they’re the
latest in the multitude of constant violators. First time log. Thanks
for cheating!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28270.5 CW, Aug 16 at 2340-2347, JBA beacon finally copied
after multiple repeats: dash and VVV PY4MAB + more maybe gridsquare:
``28.2705 PY4MAB ? POCOS DE CALDAS, BRAZIL # beacon reported August
2010 coor[d]inated 2 Dec 2021`` per WJ5O roster. It`s the OSOB, no
other beacons or phones heard. Es MUF has been way below FM band
today, but DXMAPs show lots of multiple-hop Es between Brasil and USA
on 28 MHz. QRZ.com:

``- I have a Radio Beacon on the frequency of 28.270.5 CW, 24 hours a

since Beacon is on the air. Whoever receives the signals and sends me
a confirmation by letter I will respond to everyone and send a special
QSL card from my city.

Listen to a montage I made with my contacts with the astronauts aboard
the International Space Station in the video below:``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 17595, Aug 16 at 2355, JBA carrier; and 17580, JBA
talk. Aoki shows both as CNR1, from Shijiazhuang and Lingshi 725 sites
respectively. HFCC agrees, adding both 100 kW, azimuths 217 and 286
degrees resp., i.e. nowhere near thisaway on short day path. Only
other sig on 16m is 17855 Spain still blasting in over mostly night
path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also TAIWAN [and non]

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 17 at 0333, RHC in Spanish, not English, S9+10 but
quite distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11850, Aug 17 at 0333, S9+20 but just barely modulated, obviously RHC
where something is always wrong.

12000, Aug 17 at 0334, S5/S6 of RHC English on 2 x 6000, quite weak
compared to the fundamentals on 25m, but there. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Aug 17 at 0330, MWV amid English hour, no
African accent but I guess it`s African Pathways Radio as per EiBi,
rather than KNLS programming, S8/9+10 --- No! This mapsked does not
show this hour as APR so must be NLS:

about = noise level. These say Thunder Chicken Radio, SSTV fuzzy:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,100754.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [and non]. 18899.81, Aug 16 at 2352, JBA Chinese, and since
it`s so weak and off-frequency, suspect it`s really Sound of Hope
without jamming; especially since the only other signal on this almost
disused extra SWBC band is 18970, S3/S5 of Chinese talk and music,
surely CNR1 *jammer against the only other SOH frequency, as in Aoki:
18900 2200-1000 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7
18970 2200-1000 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7

21530, Aug 16 at 2350, JBA carrier is the OSOB, which fits as the only
13 mb channel of SOH and consequently CNR1 jamming:
21530 2300-1300 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: almost confirmed Tuesday
August 16 at 2230 on WRMI 9955: start ``This is Glenn Hauser with
World of Radio...`` then cuts immediately to TOMBS! Was S9+15/20 into
Knoxville remote, no jamming yet. Jeff White says the audio matrix
occasionally plays wrong audio system, so I guess WOR is still
supposed to air at this time.

Confirmed Tuesday August 16 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland
SDR; but not on 5950 like last week, so I guess that were another
mistake. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

Confirmed Tuesday August 16 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland
SDR; but not on 5950 like last week, so I guess that were another
mistake. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Logs
** CHINA. 17690, Aug 16 at 1453, the OSOB and consequently the SSOB
16m, in Chinese, partly other language?, S7/S9 until 1500* timesignal
and off. HFCC shows 14-15 is USAGM in Bod dialect of Tibetan, 100 kW,
77 degrees from Lampertheim, Germany, but I think this be CNR1 jammer,
perhaps from E Turkistan site. Aoki shows VOA Tibetan *jammed. WWV
reports:
``Solar-terrestrial indices for 15 August follow.
Solar flux 131 and estimated planetary A-index 6.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 16 August was 1.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate.
Radio blackouts reaching the R2 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are likely.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 16 at 0640, JBA signal suspected to be overrun
again of RHC: yes, I can barely match it to the bigsig in English
still on 6165 only. Ivo Ivanov, Observer, Bulgaria, also reports:

``Radio Habana Cuba in English after 06 UT on unscheduled 11670 kHz
via Bauta, August 16 from 0600 on 11670 BAU 100 kW / 130 deg to SoAm
English in A-22 is till 0400 UTC. Good signal via SDR Frostburg MD.

https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2022/08/rhc-in-english-after-06ut-on.html
Something`s always wrong at Radio Habana Cuba and Bauta tx center``

I don`t think 11670 is supposed to be in English before 0400 either,
rather Spanish. Of course, website not updated since Nov 17, 2020!
https://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias
Showing 11670 in Spanish to Rio de Janeiro [sic] at 24:00[sic]-05:00.

The other side:

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW August 16, 2022 OPINION
The Fire in Matanzas: Going Out, or Just Beginning?

Accepting that the litany of disasters that Cuba is enduring is a
result of chance would mean letting Díaz-Canel off the hook, when, in
reality, it is a symptom of a failed system dragging a country towards
its ruin. RAFAELA CRUZ | La Habana [caption:]
Fuel tanks burned in the Matanzas fire. (H. López/Facebook)

A plane crashes with 113 people on board; a tornado wipes out hundreds
of homes, many of which would have survived if they had not been in
such precarious condition; a balcony collapses, killing three girls; a
hotel explodes, taking 47 lives; energy generation plants fail daily,
and one of its most important facilities burns down; and, in Matanzas,
the worst fire in Cuban history frightens everyone.

Not holding Díaz-Canel responsible for this state of affairs would
mean accepting that this series of disasters is a question of chance,
when, in reality, it is a symptom of a failed system dragging a
country towards collapse.

It was not really lightning that set fire to the Matanzas Supertanker
Base, but rather the failure of its safety systems; probably because,
like everything else in Cuba, they are in dreadful condition due to a
lack of maintenance and technological obsolescence.

While there is no proof of this, we know that of the 2,606 megawatts
(MW) that the Energy Revolution should generate, in 2021 745 MW were
out of service due to a lack of maintenance, and another 497 MW were
about to be due to equipment exceeding their operating cycle. If this
is how they treat the commander's last "feat," what can we expect
regarding the maintenance of everything else? ...``

** EGYPT. 9439.995+, Aug 16 at 2200, R. Cairo news theme recognizable
but English unreadable vs huge humwhine and distortion, S9+20/35 into
UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, Aug 16 at 0500*, KOPX OKC goes off the air. When
there is nothing else of interest, I often run one of my four TVs on
antenna with Newsy which is virtual 62-7 and never encabled; but
seldom am I motivated axually to listen to it. Soon find that KOPX
main channel, the only one on Optimum/Suddenlink cable, ch 22, is
missing, so they must also be relying on an off-air pickup. Or not
even anything by fibreoptic from studio to headend. Back on by next
check after 1500. Probably planned maintenance (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.002+, Aug 16 at 2200, VOT on today and VG modulation,
English sked and news, S9+35/45 into UTwente. 2215 `Review of the
Tuerkiyeish Press`. 2217 `Weekly Commentary`, by someone from American
University, Kabul? by heavily accented YL. No competition from
unreadable Cairo, and since it`s Tuesday, no Englishable from España
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 16 at 0500, WRMI brings up UR1 relay
but stays in UU until 0504 `Ukraine: Security Issue` in English
finally starts, by the fast-talking heavily-accented OM. I decide to
listen to it later online
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_15_08_22.mp3
where one can play it at three-quarter or even half-speed, and may
back it up if needed to copy some topix correctly. Including:

For Aug 15, Day 173 of full scale war. Russia lost almost 44K
fighters, 4K tanx, 195 helicopters, etc. U army in dire need of
artillery and aviation reinforcements. U destroyed all bridges over
Dniepr in Kherson, controlling all transport arteries, causing Russian
forces to flee. Kharkiv under massive attack, apartment block,
children`s playground, shelled. Homes near border need repairs before
winter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A. 9955, Tue Aug 16 at 1448 check, this WRMI is off again like
yesterday, contrary to schedule; while 9395 & 9455 are on and audible.
Bodes ill for WOR Friday at 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Tue Aug 16 at 0654, S9+30 of dead air on WWCR-3,
supposed to be Brother-Scaring. This happens again and again late at
night, no one paying attention at 1300 WWCR Avenue, fortunately (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
