>From Lhasa with a steady S4,S5 Signal into NW Ant.Half Moon Bay,California
KiWi rSDR.USA.I am amazed during a path of darkness
To hear Lhasa which is about 150 miles north of BHUTAN and not even
Their local midnight yet into California well past sunrise after 10
Am in the morning.I Remember in my Amateur Radio hobby experiencing
This during a sunspot minimum much less near a sunspot maximum.I wonder
how much of this represents 100,000 watts of transmitting power VS.
Other Factors?

** NORTH AMERICA. 6922.1? USB, July 29 at 2357, music in high storm
noise level such that I can`t even be sure of the frequency, but there
seems to be a vestigial carrier as above. Music sounds no better or
worse tuned to 6923 USB. Maybe same as these on `6920`:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,100060.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, July 29 at 2344, local Enid CB relay of
broadcast station, but unsounds like country 103.1 KOFM as heard for
weeks previously, not checked lately; rather, gospel music. Huge het
from a spoiler carrier on 27185.5, but can be split by LSB tuning.
2346, auto timecheck for 6:45 and weather forecast, banjo music. Then
I search for // on FM radio and find it on 99.9; `Abide With Me` until
2355. So now the source is KVBN-LP now promoted to worldwide SW
broadcaster. Own site is on US81 N, same ex-church which used to house
KLGB-LP 94.3 which closed down, but antenna tower is still up for
100-watt horizontal-only KVBN (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 28315 USB, July 29 at 2337, Spanish QSO almost in the
beaconband, mentions KP4WQ in Aguadilla, presumably him rather than
his contact: ARRL/FCC lookup:
VILLANUEVA, LUIS, KP4WQ, Calle North East 281 A, AGUADILLA, PR 00603.
Only one other USB QSO audible on band, English (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, July 29 at 2209, REE has again replaced English with
Spanish, on a Friday, another show about Cuban music, not exactly a
rarity on SW thanks to FTIOM and RHC. May well be worthwhile program,
and I could even understand it, but refuse to listen as long as token
English be canceled? Or at least in limbo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, July 29 at 2210, VOT direct seems almost dead air
as received direct, requiring LSB to avoid the RTTY. By 2229 I rate it
undermodulated, with whine. At 2247 I switch to UTwente which always
gets it much better intercepted on the way to N America, and which
displays traditional exact frequency offset. It`s S9+50 with
sufficient modulation now. 2251 `Did You Know That?` some town in
Tuerkiye produces 80 kilotons of honey; sign off with full English
schedule which seems to be correct but jumbled; IS to 2257.5* before
we may get into any bonus spurious Germanizing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. No FM DX lately, Es MUF not making it above 88 MHz to here,
so I check for 10m hamband CW beacons at 1/3 the MUF, July 29 at 2335,
and find only two:

28289.3, WJ5O/B, Troy AL, the guy really into this with his hugelist
at: http://wj5o.net/bcn.htm updated 7 July, 2022. The trouble is, it`s
historical going back more than a decade, surely with a lot of chaff
which needs to be outweeded.

28217.7, VVV VVV DE K4PAR/B EM83 - with long pauses. Eatonton,
Georgia, another one heard many times before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2149 monitoring: confirmed Friday July 29
from 1815.4 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290 & 14580 into UTwente SDR; and
AM Italia, 1323 kHz, but not 918 or 207 kHz, into nearby Noale SDR.

Tuned in at 1800 to find `Feature Story News` in progress on 1323, and
7290 cutting on later a bit before 1801. Spotlite portion at 1803,
headlines; 1805 music fill; 1813 birdsongs introducing TUC Radio, now
a regular thing at exactly this time, and for only 2 minutes! Chris
Hedges starts to interview someone on July 8, till chop to 1815 IRRS
ID and 1815.4 WOR. Details:
https://tucradio.org/podcasts/newest-podcasts/the-chris-hedges-report-splinterlands-climate-dystopia/

Second harmonic of 7290 Kostinbrod also JB audible on 14580 into
UTwente, not always the case. Strangely, both have the same RTTY/FSK
warble on the USB side but evitable by LSB tuning. Or by narrowing
bandwidth below 1.5 kHz. Checked 3 x 7290 = 21870 just in case, but
nothing.

Despite proximity of Noale to Villa Estense, 1323 has plenty storm
crashes, and I see on Blitzortung that there is lots of lightning over
northern Italy and much of Europe. There is also music and talk CCI
from an understation, presumably the 15 kW Romanian station with
minority service in German, but which WRTH 2022 did not show at this
time. Notable that the IRRS IDs, or NEXUS/IBA/IRRS no longer ask for
P-mail to that Milano POBox, which IRRS has otherwise said is no
longer valid; rather an e-mail address, such as after WOR at 1844
completed, into music fill.

WOR 2149 also confirmed Friday July 29 at 2050 the 2030 on AM Italia,
1323 only, S9+10/15. Now there is a fast SAH and music CCI from some
understation when Romania is presumably off.

Also confirmed UT Saturday July 30 at 0130 on WRMI, checked on several
remotes to the NW or NNW which seem to be struggling with
undermodulation; best into Maryland with S9+10/20. Next:

** U S A. 7489.91 approx., July 30 at 0000, WBCQ `AAAWWW` opener amid
William Tell Overture, AW says humans are not center of everything,
just look up: inspired by Webb, so it`s a rerun from a biweek ago.
Never mind. Poor in noise direct but I then check PEI SDR where this
high a frequency in HNL is JBA on -70/72 Hz = 7489.929, while 5130
minus 24 Hz = 5129.976 is S9+10/15; and 3265+ is NOT on this week
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WOR 2149 confirmed first broadcasts, UT Friday July 29 at 0130 on
WRMIs: 7730, S7/9+10 into Maryland SDR; at 0145 check on 5850, S8/9+10
into Missouri SDR. My last 10 seconds of closing were blotted to
something else. This is a malady of System F which cannot be fixed
until the current automation be replaced.

Also confirmed UT Friday July 29 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S6/S9 into
Maryland SDR with storm crashes. Here it plays to completion 0359.

Also confirmed Friday July 29 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct, not
sure if some jamming below. Next: Friday 1815 as above (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, July 29 at 0348, WLCR via WBCQ is on again, S8/9+10
in German, maloptimum timing. But at 0623 it`s off again (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 29 at 0625, R. Vanuatu reactivated in Bislama
talk, weaker than before, S6/S8 on 3 x 3945; also JBA carrier on 7890
= 2 x 3945. Manuel Méndez, Spain also reports this and changing from
7260 at 0559. I check almost every night and last date logged 11835
was June 24. Was definitely gone by June 30. For a while they stayed
on 7260 before and after 0600 so no harmonix, then totally missing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
