** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wednesday June 29 from 1430 on Buenos
Aires remote, no signal until *1447 LRA36 cuts on amid song and
nothing but musical préludes until 1500 sign-on, multi-lingual, in
Ciclo Radial 2022, staff list. 1502 Antártida theme song. 1505 YL
about Base Esperanza, population, school for some kids, again claims
falsely to be first SW station in Antarctica. 1507 `Sounds of Silence`
song with Spanish lyrix mentioning Antártida.

1509 starts being hit by noise bursts several times per minute at S7 =
covering LRA36 as that is max peak of their SSB modulation. OTH radar,
or jamming? Amid it at 1511 an ID, ``su compañía``. This is program #9
of the 2022 cycle. 1514 SR/SS times as 10:30/15:10. Contact info with
phone numbers, etc. Abruptly chopped off air at 1518* and not heard
further. The QRM could not be discerned on the wideband waterfall, but
I checked just above and below: audible on 15480, audible but weaker
tuned to 15470. Then it`s no longer heard either by 1537 when I give
up. Maybe the Saturday repeat will not be curtailed and/or jammed?

People are reporting getting eQSLs signed by the four woman staff.
Kari Kallio`s, Finland, says power is 300 watts to a rhombic. However,
Manuel Méndez, Spain, who usually can detect it direct at S1 level,
got one too, as a reply not to a reception report but to an inquiry he
sent before they ever resumed broadcasting, citing the date and time
of his mail, when they certainly were not on air:

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain --- I had one too, a very special one,
from a nonexistent transmission. On May 2, at 1023 hours, I sent them
an email asking when the transmissions would start this season. We all
know that they started a few days later, on Saturday, May 7. Well, a
few days ago I received a QSL from LRA 36, confirming that I had
listened to them on May 2 at 1023 hours. I reply that this QSL is
incorrect, because that day they had no broadcast, and I simply sent
them an email asking when they would start transmission this season.
They answer me

"Good evening... we are sending the QSL according to the emails
listeners send... and you sent us an email at that time that we send
you a QSL with the date and time you sent us the email."

I send them another mail telling them that to send a QSL it had to be
from a certain program and they have to have a reception report,
explain to them what a reception report is, and also that they cannot
send confirmation by a simple mail in which they are asked a question,
and my QSL was false and did not correspond to reality. I no longer
get an answer. Here is a compressed file of my very special eQSL about
an nonexistent transmission...``

It seems their QSLs are worthless, just acknowledgments without any
checking or vetting. (I wonder if same applies to the no-data
automatic? eQSLs BBCWS has started for filling out a webform? Try it
with a non-frequency and see what happen) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. June 28 at 2310-2330, no Es DX now to FM band MUFs but a few
28 MHz ham beacons, mostly heard before and JBA CW, too weak to
measure to fraxion of kHz. Slightly better S/N on N/S shortwire than
on loop. Some conclude with grid square but not copied; as listed in

** CUBA. 13772 & 13628 approx., June 28 at 1429, RHC spurblob with F#
tone from 13700 transmitter, not the // 13740 which is also on. Main
ones at plus/minus ~72 kHz. Also a bit weaker at 2 x 72 = 144 kHz up
on 13844 QRMing WWCR 13845, tsk3. And more, detectable about 13921.
Also on the minus side, 13555 QRMing CODAR, and 13408, but nothing
found about halfway between the last two. Spurs so distorted as to be
completely unreadable. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Another oddity, probably unrelated, but not observed before: June 28
at 1430, pure carriers cutting on and off regularly every few seconds,
on 13753 and 13550. By 1508 recheck everything is off (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX opening, June 27, I start monitoring at
1759 UT; all on caradio in the garage, relatively comfortable after a
cool spell and this early in the day; vertical fender antenna only;
times strictly UT; same provisos as in previous recent reports:

95.3 at 1759, ``Beat It`` tune overrides KOKC OKC translator.

94.3 at 1804, frenetic Spanish music, PTA is Florida from DXMAP MUFs.
1806, YL DJ. Likely this as also heard earlier in June:
WRLX 94.3 RIVIERA BEACH FL Spanish SPANISH HITS MIA 94.3 50.0 kW 139.0
m --- 1993 km = 1238 mi

94.1 at 1809, English rap, then moralizing. No FL fits; maybe just OK
The House gospel huxter

96.5 at 1813, ``Wake Up, Miami``, DJ promo of morning show on ``---
96``; something attributed to KCBS, Sausage King; Robert Rubenstein,
lawyer, 1-800-FL-LEGAL, in Miami, Broward, thruout FL; 1815
Duck-duck-go ad, Mitsubishi:
WPOW 96.5 MIAMI FL RHYTHMIC CHR POWER 96 98.0 kW 307.0 m --- 2051 km =
1274 mi

97.3 at 1816, LA? dance music, but English lyrix. Based on PTA:
WFLC 97.3 MIAMI FL CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO HITS 97.3 98.0 kW 307.0 m
--- 2051 km = 1274 mi

101.5 at 1817, over OK`s SS, YL with ``south Florida`s best variety,
101.5 --- FM``:
WLYF 101.5 MIAMI FL ADULT CONTEMPORARY 101.5 LITE FM REFRESHING 100.0
kW 248.0 m --- 2051 km = 1274 mi

102.5 at 1818, sports talk, 1-800-771-1025: that phone chex for this:
WHPT 102.5 SARASOTA FL TALK 102-5 THE BONE 100.0 kW 503.0 m
102.5 THE BONE Tampa Bay's Classic Rock Station -
theoneonline.com Talk --- 1761 km = 1094 mi

105.7 at 1820, K-LOVE ID and nothing more. OMG, there are none in FL
or any other likely area, PA, NH, CA, PA, NC, some of them translators
--- except Puerto Rico; could this be double hop?
WJKL 105.7 SAN JUAN PR USA CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN K-LOVE 50.0 kW
323.0 m
OMG2, could just be bleed from my local 105.5 translator K288FX, shux.
San Juan: 3689 km = 2292 mi, about right for double-hop, but midpoint
would be about 50 miles into Atlantic off Daytona Beach

99.3 at 1823, rapid ads in Spanish mentioning Florida, ``La Nueva
Playa 99.3``, plug as on ten? apps:
WWCN 99.3 FORT MYERS BEACH FL Spanish CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO PLAYA
99.3 45.0 kW 142.0 m // WWCN 770 --- 1868 km = 1161 mi

100.3 at 1824, country; 1828 ``from Biscayne Bay to Boca Chica,
Thunder Country 100.3``:
WCTH 100.3 PLANTATION KEY FL COUNTRY THUNDER COUNTRY 100.3 100.0 kW
141.0 m --- Boca Chica? almost to Key West. Distancefromto thinx this
is near Tampa rather than in the Keys!

Not much more the next quarter-hour, but by 1842, I`m getting MEXICO,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. After a semihour of S Florida sporadic E FM DX, see USA,
I`m getting even more Spanish, soon located to Mexico, June 27 from
1842 UT on the caradio in relatively cool garage, vertical fender
antenna only; all logged in real time, on my own ears, no recordings,
no internet access for stream //s, until researched later on the WTFDA
FM Database. All times strictly UT.

93.1 at 1842, JBA Spanish CCI to Kansas. I later find there are no SS
on 93.1 in Florida nor anywhere else in US at likely Es distance, but
lots of Mexicans, 17 of them, all but one with some kind of music
format. 1906 and 1921 more bits of SS talk; at 1942 another Spanish
mixing, this one with music. The only talker is:
XHPBJR-FM 93.1 SAN JUAN DEL RÍO QRO NEWS/TALK SUPER STEREO MILED
ENG[ineering] DATA MISSING -- -- 1792 km = 967 statute miles

92.3 at 1843, YL in Spanish, CCI to KS/OK. 1920 & 1940, Mexican music;
not enough to guess!

92.1 at 1851, YL timecheck in Spanish as 1:51, so it`s México, not
Florida for sure. 1909 bits of talk; 1914 ad for movic.mx = a record
label and ``MOVIC RECORDS is an apparel & fashion company based out of
San Pedro Garza García, México`` per linkedin. Limpiadora ad; 1915
``La Radio que te escucha``, Soriana ad; 25% discount on TV screen;
Ejército Nas? as in Nacional? PSA del gobierno de México; plug being
in Facebook, ``ranking``; 1918 song. 1919 CCI from another Spanish
talking. 1931 ads and PSAs, plátanos, ``92.1, Radio Disney, la radio

derechos humanos PSA; 1857 ad in pesos; 1859 CCI from The House FM,
multi-station ID in OK. 1905 bits of talk. 1935, M&W with short
anuncios, a `ding` between them: placas con descuento [license plates
discounted??], Puebla capital and more Puebla mentions. 1955 talk
about PAN. Widely time-separated not necessarily all same station but
only one in Puebla state:
XHJE-FM 94.1 HEROICA PUEBLA DE ZARAGOZA PUE CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO EXA
FM 20.0 kW 82.0 m --- 1929 km = 1199 mi

93.5 at 1902, Spanish JBA in KS CCI, brief peaks, 1903 mention Puebla:

92.9 at 1912, Spanish song, ``La Ke Buena``, kids yell phone number,

plataforma PSA, COFESE, ejército PSA, ``La Ke Buena 92.9``. 1930 live?
traffic report with chopper SFX, mentions Cuauhtémoc, carretera
México/Toluca, ``La Ke Buena, en Cadena``, jingle. 1931 kids yell 2:31
timecheck twice; again at 1938 for 2:38 and laughing - or are those
adult voices pitched up? 2001 one more ``Ke Buena`` as the opening
finally fizzles, and/or I quit by 2006! After two+ hours straight.
This was:

95.3 at 1921, overcoming KOKC translator, R/TV Mex PSA, ads in pesos;

in all probability PTA but there is one other Amor on 95.3:
XHNB-FM 95.3 SAN LUIS POTOSÍ SLP ROMANTICA AMOR 31.58 kW 7.0 m ---
1612 km = 1001 mi

96.5 at 1925, Spanish JBA; 1957 news about China - first world news I
have heard on any of these! Radio Educación ID, `Nuestro Mundo`
program; 2000 lists of its network relay stations; briefly over Tulsa;
note low power. Nice to hear the FM side of XEPPM 6185 SW!
XHEP-FM 96.5 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX ULTURE RADIO EDUCACIÓN 3.0 kW -34.4 m
BAT --- 1890 km = 1174 mi

93.3 at 1934, romantic music over OKC, 1937 :37 timecheck. No specific
romantic format listed, but maybe closest and to PTA, maybe:
XHEXZ-FM relays:AM 560 93.3 ZACATECAS ZAC SPANISH HITS BALADAS LUPE
50.0 kW 402.98 m Tx site Cerro de la Virgen [de GuadaLUPE no doubt]
--- 1583 km = 984 mi to the cerro

93.7 at 1953, ``Joviendo 93-7``, adstring, over KSPI Stillwater.
Strange word, maybe slang, meaning ``being young``? Maybe play on
words with this station name meaning jewel? Or joyviendo?
XEJP-FM 93.7 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX CLASSIC HITS STEREO JOYA 60.48 kW
632.0 --- 1890 km = 1174 mi

Add-on to other logs above take us to 2001; seems over by 2006 and
when back online I check DXMAP at 2015 to see a 103 MHz Es blob close
to the Laredos accounting for all this! BTW in this sesquihour of DX,
I never heard any X+ callsign mentioned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. As I am completing the June 27 Es FM DX reports,
by 1610 UT June 28 MORE big openings are in progress, so back to the
car for 2+ hours. ND, SD, MB, MT; and separately from LA & TX at
least, including, 96.7 KOYE Frankston TX, only 530 km = 329 miles!
Extremely strong sporadic E for a path so close! These openings will
take a lot more time to research and report fully; and there may be
even more to come. Got to take advantage of this summer Es, as there
will soon be ~10 months of nothing.

I had to miss much of the latest January 6 hearing starting at 1700,
but will catch replay later. Notable that not a single FM station,
nearby or DX, was broadcasting it, as great threats to our Democracy
don`t matter to them! --- except on KOSU and probably KWOU from NPR.
No doubt more NPR stations were on it but not skipping out. Quit for
R&R and lunch after 1816, I find it not only on TV from PBS, MSNBC and
CNN, surely CSPAN but not checked; but also on mainstream ABC, CBS,
NBC, and even Fox News Channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. On June 28, I replied to Jeff White about the WRMI splatter
problem: At 0640, 9455 seems to be clear. At 1521, also, altho maybe
not strong enough to be sure, only S7/S9 on generous meter. Also
sounds undermodulated as do others of your frequencies. Old
transmitters can`t handle 100%? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9673.310V, June 27 circa 0130, RVM in Brazuguese preaching,
S7/S9 and varying slightly downward as I try to measure it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13810, June 27 at 1511, Chinese and music, S7/S9 with LAH =
low audible heterodyne. Hard to tell which one, or both, slightly
off-frequency. Mainly CNR1 jammer, and maybe the music under talk be
also from it; per Aoki at 15-17 vs RFA Chinese via Tajikistan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 4765, June 27 at 0112, no signal from R. Progreso
into Maryland SDR, supposedly *0030-0400*. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba. Interesting to look at the CODAR pattern on the waterfall
around 4765 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. Finally my first FM DX of the season from the south, June
27 1830-2000 UT, including Puebla. To be fully researched and IDed by
next report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, June 26 at 2206, S9 of country music,
presumed the local Enid CBer again piratically relaying 103.1 KOFM.
Skip DXers afar ought to hear this if there be sporadic E (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 26 at 2207, no signal from VOT direct for
English to N America. Off or not propagating?

9830, June 27 at 2200 via UTwente, only a weak signal presumably
China, until VOT pops on a bit late, S9+40 with some hum. 2224
repeating same ``weekly`` show about eye care, `Feeling Supreme:
Healthy Life` as heard June 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565 CW, June 27 at 1509, beacon K6FRC is JBA vs CODAR;
sends callsign only over & over. Tuned across almost every morning and
first time heard again since April 12; always near this hour. Is it
just propagation, or not really running 24/7 as should any beacon?

This says it`s 13565.04, and look at all the others on this ISM band,
only a few of which I have ever heard:
https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm
K6FRC claims to run only 1.8 milliwatts from Patterson CA. QRZ.com:

``Operator of-
K6FRC/B 50.080 MHz.
K6FRC/B 28.300 MHz. [which I have also heard]
K6FRC 13.565 MHz. (Part 15 'HiFer')
Go to www.K6FRC.com for K6FRC beacon locations.
Please mail your reception report or QSL to:

Paul Shinn
P.O. Box 175
Valley Springs, CA 95252

No S.A.S.E. required! It is a pleasure to respond to all mailed QSL
cards and reception reports. Respect for tradition demands it.``

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2144 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
June 26 from 2000.6 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+20
into nearby Noale SDR. And not on 918 nor 207 kHz this time.

Also confirmed Sunday June 26 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S9+10/15 into one
Athens GA SDR, S9/+5 into the other.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 27 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 and noisy
into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 27 not starting until 0315.4 on Area 51
via WBCQ 6160 -57 Hz = 6159.943, as Johnny Lightning runs way over,
until ``gotta go`` at 0314, plus dead air and WBCQ ID, then WOR, which
played to 0344 conclusion, Hobart Radio International overlapping my
closing; but at 0400 recheck, 6160- back to TOMBS // 5890 WWCR; so HRI
was chopped short as a result of JL`s overage. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** U S A. 9955, June 27 at 2208, this WRMI is just barely modulated
unlike 9395 & 9455; glad I`m on 5950 instead at 2230 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, UT Monday June 27 at 0007, via Georgia remote, WRMI
with S Asian music fill, shortly into that beautiful `cello solo
piece, i.e. Bach`s Suite #1 in G. Here`s a YoYoMa performance of it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGgG-0lOJjk
which also leads to much more `cello including performances by one
HAUSER, i.e. Stjepan Hauser from Croatia, no relation? In an alternate
lifespan, I would love to have been a `cellist!

At 0028 recheck, back to S Asian music. But the point is, scheduled at
this time is `Ham Radio Concepts`; what became of it? Nothing about it
on the WRMI program page; was there ever? HRC may be the same thing as
a podcast; a limited tutorial? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, June 27 at 0209, I sent this to Jeff White, WRMI:
``9455 splattering all over --- Jeff, You really have a problem with
the 9455 transmitter. This evening in direct reception at 0125 it`s
overmodulated/distorted on 9455 itself but also splattering, rather
wiping out anything down to 9400 and still quite audible between the
other big signals, 9395, 9330 and 9265, and still audible as low as
9200. However, not much like that fortunately on the plus side of
9455. Others have also reported this. 73, Glenn``

9455, June 27 at 1514, WRMI open carrier S5/S9 and off at 1516
uncovering JBA carrier from CRI Kunming as USAGM is no longer trying
to share 9455. Guess WRMI is working on #5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, June 27 at 0115, WRNO concluding TV soundtrack of
Billy Graham, BGEA until 0116; surprisingly ``mainstream``, not to
mention, not surprisingly, deceased (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, June 27 at 2219 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is still on
with 250 watts of dead air; and also at night vs KWKH (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130-, UT Monday June 27 at 0200, WBCQ Radio Angela,
`Concert Hall` with part 1 of 2 of Lehár`s operetta, `The Merry
Widow`, English version. I don`t see any previews online of CH
content, but next week know will start with the rest of it. A fun
listen, lovely melodies, and some lyrix can be understood vs the noise
level, S7/S9 into Maryland remote, where I`m running it in SAS = fake
stereo. There are storms from AZ-NM-TX-LA then upward to PA. Offset
fluxuates -23/-27 Hz = 5129.973 - 5129.977 kHz.

0339 brief poetry segment and UB says the same Lainie Petersen will be
reading out Orwell`s `1984` from July serially for however long it
takes, UT Saturdays at 0200-0230, followed at 0230-0300 by Greek
Refuge, music in the wake of ERT`s termination of SW. Tonight before
ending at 0400, a snippet of TMW in original German (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. A sporadic E FM DX opening brought stations from south
Florida, June 27 from 1759 to about 1830 UT, some in Spanish, then
lots of Mexicans until 2000. It will take a while to research and
identify as many of these as possible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
