** BRAZIL. 9630.338, Aug 11 at 0631, JBA off-frequency, no doubt R.
Aparecida; 11856v not audible now or ever any more. Also:

9664.839, Aug 11 at 0632, music S2-S4, no doubt R. Voz Missionária.
Have not heard these 31ms overnight for some time, and no 9819v.

5939.806, Aug 11 at 0635, JBA carrier in 5935 WWCR splash, but no
problem from 5945 NZ, no doubt also RVM, always off-frequency. Altho a
few other ZYs are reported active on 6, 9 and 11 MHz bands, these are
the only ones detected at this late/early hour (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 11 at 1413-1418: None in the 16s, 14s
or 12s but at least JBA on 13130, 11460, 11440, 11170, 11150, 11120,
10920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. A reply on the WOR iog to my report that VOG was missing
from 9420 early UT August 9:

``Voice of Greece could have been temporarily off the air due to some
devastating thunderstorms and flash flooding in the area of their
transmitter site located in Vathi Voiotia, Greece. The nearby island
of Evia across the straight (South Euobean Gulf) to the northeast of
their transmitter site seems to have been worse hit...

MHz frequencies unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Aug 11 at 0648 and 1410 UT, NDB PN in Ponca

kHz (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Aug 11 at 0646, JBA carrier in 5025 Cuba
splash, presumed SIBC, about all one could expect so early, but have
not been getting even this around 0600 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 10 at 1348-1356; I am in too big a
hurry before breakfast to note S readings; some are sufficient, some
are JBA carriers in presumed spots: none in the 16s; 15165 with fast
SAH CCI, 15130, 14980, 14920, 14850, 13835, 13630-rare/new; 12850,
12190; inband 25m skipped; 11460, 11150, 10920, 10870; 9s not checked
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 10 at 0550, RHC English check during music: this
one is S9+10/20 but suptorted; 6100 is S9+20/30 with less modulation
and less distortion; 6145 S9+10/20 with more modulation, less
distortion; while 5040 is S9+20/30 and suptorted. On the average,
overall, I suppose, a net improvement for now. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. (9830), as reported before, VOT English was missing from
the Wed Aug 5 at 2200 broadcast, so no `Letterbox` to be heard circa
2215; not until UT Aug 10 do I get around to checking the podcasts at
radio360.eu, only to find that Aug 5 is also missing there! But the
mailbag repeats on Saturdays so I listen to the Aug 8 one, to find it
at :13 into, and indeed a new one a week after previous, not a 2-week
delay, for the first reply is to Italy dated Aug 4; then India,
Algeria; Tampa FL --- where our 42-year-old host visited when he was
20 after Florence AL and New Orleans LA; India, Bahrain, but already
``out of time`` finishing after only 8 minutes at :21, and into music,
very enjoyable Turkish songs which play continuously past :46, so what
happened to all the other features? Something`s always awry at Ankara
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18154-USB, Aug 10 at 1425, the OSOB is KD8BO, concluding
contact with an inaudible K0: ``KD8BO USA flag USA, Clarence L Jobe,
Sr, New Paris, OH 45347 USA``. This encourages me to check 10 MHz
higher:

28298-CW, Aug 10 at 1452, beacon K5TLL/B, relog: ``28.298 K5TLL C
HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI # 25W, VERTICAL New Freq 14 Dec 08``
There is another weaker I can`t read within one kHz.

28254.5-CW, Aug 10 at 1501, VVV VVV DE K4JEE/B thrice ... LOUISVILLE:
``28.2545 K4JEE C LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY # 5W, VERTICAL New 6 Nov 11``
This one is strongest of the lot, no problem copying

28209-CW, Aug 10 at 1506-1514, JBA, N8##L, can`t copy full call but
alternates at fast and slow WPM, surely this heard before:
``28.2088 N8PVL I LIVONIA, MICHIGAN # 5W, VERTICAL new 12 Feb 2011``

28281-CW, Aug 10 at 1507, DE W8EH and a grid square, no VVV preceding,
another one heard before as newies are seldom:
``28.281 W8EH C MIDDLETOWN OHIO # 8W, GP VERTICAL``

But no MUF into FM band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2046 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday August 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG here direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 10 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, both VG
S9+10/20 at UTwente; also WRN webcast at 0130.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 10 starting at 0314 on Area 51 webcast of
WBCQ 5130, after JL ran way late. Good into a Rochester SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 10 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG at TWR Bonaire;
0329 R. Prague still talking, 0329.5 chopped off for a bit of music,
no ID, then WOR.

Also confirmed Mon Aug 10 from a few seconds before 1801 in IRRS 7290
Bulgaria? via UTwente SDR, VG S8/S9+10 but with perpetual warble from
7291 and splash from second adjacents; carrier already on at 1754
tune-in; <1759 JIP some unknown talkshow; <1800 chop for IRRS ID and
PO Box Milano, not a sign-on, by Italian accent for a change; very
quick FSN headlines and WOR which continues intact for first several
minutes. Next:

** U S A. 1210, August 10 at 0558 UT, a periodic but vain check for 50
kW daytimer WJNL in Michigan cheating again; instead I hear a mix of
Spanish mentions of McAllen, Texas, and Coast-to-Coast-AM. Per last
year`s NRC AM Log, only 1210 affil is WPHT Philadelphia, while the SS
is certainly KUBR San Juan, Tejas in the RGV; right now I am not
hearing KGYN OK either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4765, Aug 10 at 0433, noise blob but not decoding as DRM
by TWR Bonaire SDR; meant to check earlier, as Mark Coady, Ont.,
reported on the ODXA iog: ``4765 UNIDENTIFIED at 0205 with DRM-like
hash covering +/- 6 to 7 Khz – A total waste of bandwidth Aug 9
Coady-ON – Are the Cubans experimenting with DRM now? If so, why? And,
if not, who is?`` --- Progreso sked is nominally/normally 0030-0400
only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1808 UT August 10

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Aug 8 around 2300 check, no sign of
LRA36 via several SDRs in Paraguay, Uruguay and Brasil; supposed to be
running all-night in a 24-hour test as heard before 1800, but not
surprisingly not propagating after dark on so high a frequency at
winter-max, nor would it likely at summer-max either during
solar-min.

Not checked again until 1454 August 9, and there it is into a Brasil
SDR, usual stuff of songs and canned IDs at 1454, 1502. Bruce
Churchill advocates an Iceland SDR for LRA36, despite the distance an
all-agua Atlantic path, but neither of them is getting it at 1516. Of
course, no sign of it direct to here either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 9 at 1350: JBA carriers, u.o.s.:
13530; 13160 S5-S7, 13130, 13070 S7-S9, 13020, 12870 S3-S6, 12820. No
there WOOBs checked before 1400.

At 1432: 12190, 11100, 11070, 10870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, August 9 at 0536, VOG is S9-S7 with Greek Orthodox
chanting, harmonies on a Sunday morning, violating Separation of
Church and State, unless WRTH dubbing it ``public`` instead of ``gov``
make a difference; anyhow, always enjoyable music to the secularist.
Apparently came on late this Sunday date as Eric Fetters-Walp, near
Seattle was not hearing it by 0245. Note that it is always OFF early
UT Mondays, our Sunday evenings until I don`t know when (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, Aug 8 at 2334, VP talk sounds like a
pirate, after some music which seemed to be on 6935. Without a carrier
and unfamiliar music, can`t always pinpoint right away.
These say it`s Zeke`s (or Zekey`s) Attic:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,70283.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW kHz, Aug 9 at 0604 UT, Enid NDB EI is JBA amid
storm noise: had to listen for a couple minutes to detect it between
crashes; this local one is always much weaker than the further Okies
on 255, 350 and 515 kHz. Less QRN at definite recheck 1349 UT. So
remains on air for a second day after revival, and you may assume
continuing until I note another absence.

350-MCW kHz, RG at Will RoGers World Airport, OKC, BTW is not to be
confused with another RG nearby on 352 kHz, RarotonGa, Cook Islands,
as the west coast DXers have to be careful (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 7340, Sunday August 9 at 0544, again no signal
from the hypothetical COVID-19 extension of Eye Radio via Madagascar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2046 monitoring: confirmed Saturday August 8
at 1948 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, close to the end at 1951.7
UT which means it started at 1922.7; incredibly good S6-S8 signal via
KiwiSDR in Warrenton MO --- that`s because the two towns are only a
few km apart; after getting no signal via the SDR I mostly used before
in much further Edinburgh IN. Next item a speech by a ham who is also
a medical doctor about ham radio and COVID-19; I think the call was
K0MD, but at qrz.com that one appears to be a full-time ham.

Also confirmed NEW time, Saturday August 8 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, VG to
UTwente; immediately preceded by R. Tirana theme, not the IS and no ID
break.

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 9 at 0300 on WRMI 5800, good direct,
after R. Tirana theme but with an ID break.

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 9 at 0421 mid-break on WA0RCR, 1860
AM, again via the Warrenton MO SDR of KB0FX, but buried in heavy storm
noise, much worse reception than in the daytime; so started late circa
0406. I had been checking since 0315. Blitzortung shows a small but
strong storm right over the St Louis area. After 0421 axually better
reception faraway here but still noisy. Next:

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Aug 9 at 0015, WTWW-2 webcast with `Theatre
Organ [NOT] in the Ozarx` already underway, ending at 0037 so must
have started circa 0007 this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17815, Sunday Aug 9 at 1439, S7-S9 but noisy gospel huxter
the OSOB, i.e. WHRI on limited schedule. Its own website not to be
believed, as Angel 1 on 21610 at this time: ``New Beginnings Church &
World Outreach Pastor Ronnie L. Patrick`` and 17815 not starting until
1900, as noted yesterday with dead air in the morning; and no 17815 on
Angels 2 or 6. There are NO program listings for Angels 3, 4 or 5; and
6 is shown 24 hours on 7385 except for brief bits on 5920. Don`t you
believe that either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1928 UT August 9

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Sat Aug 8 at *1629, LRA36 comes on with
fast CW message I am not prepared to copy or record, 1630 into song,
1633 ID for `Corazón Antártico` Wed 11-13 LT show. This is the
well-publicized Saturday special supposedly starting at 1700 and
staying on for 24 hours. From previous experience we know to tune in
at least half an hour early for the runup, so I`ve been listening
since 1617 via Brazil remote which gets it at S2-S3. The best one,
Pardinho is not available, and Dan Robinson says it`s now by password
only. Usual fill of mostly songs, 1645 another canned ID; 1656 plays
the Morse code again and this time believe I can copy ``LRA36`` toward
the end of it. Then voice IDs in Spanish, German, English and Russian;
``Nacional presenta: Corazón Antártico``, starting a few minutes
early, into ``live`` mostly YLs, with G.C. of Esperanza Base, staff
credits, and more chatter. I have to switch to a different Brazilian
KiwiSDR at 1717, S1-S2 or S3 but more local noise. 1737 break for a
song and then more talk. Altho publicized as an SSB test as if that
were something new, it still has a residual reduced carrier, obvious
when downtuned to 15475-USB.

However, since 1700 I`ve been preferably listening to the LA Opera via
KUCO-FM webcast, this week the underperformed ``La Clemenza di Tito``
by Mozart, with a much better $ tereo signal. I would need much better
reception from LRA36 to try to understand and get anything out of what
they are saying, so enough by 1751 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 jammer survey, August 8 from 1343, early
enough start to be thoro in the WOOB ranges before 1400*. Generally
JBA or JBA carriers except as noted: 16600 and stronger 16300 with
flutter; 15165 Chinese and fast SAH from VOA Thailand victim; 15130 vs
VOA Philippines; 14980, 14920, 14870, 13920 S9/+10, 13835; none just
above or below 13 MHz, unusual. The CW South Koreans inhabit.

At 1351: 12550 S8-S9, 12230 S6-S9, 12190 vs CODAR; 25m inband not
checked; 11460 & 11440 both S7-S9; 11150 & 11100 JBA carriers; 10820
S2-S3; none in the lower nines by 1357 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW, Aug 8 at 0614 UT, Enid`s only ND beacon, EI at
Woodring Airport, is back! I check for it every night, and only heard
occasionally OIN from Oberlin KS on 341. EI was first missing on July
23 so was off for a semimonth, 16 days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2046 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday August 8 at 0130 on WRMI-1 7780, which has been restored to
air after power surge damage, but NOT on 9955 which is now shown on
the sked grid, rather a preacher, previous occupant of this time? so
maybe WOR from next week? As also shown on sked, WOR no longer on 5850
& 5010, which had been a prime early airing and the only one across
mid-America 315 degree azimuth, on 5850. As usual 7780 is poor here
but good to the NE remotes. Skedgrid shows blank spaces for System F
5850 & 5010 at 0130-0200 on UT Wed, Thu and Fri. The latter would be a
good replacement for WOR as soon as it`s finished. The bumper off our
former spot is for only 15 minutes, so after 0145 there is World Music
fill, such as the polka? at 0150.

WOR 2046 also confirmed Saturday August 8 at 1310 the 1300 on WRMI
15770, JBA; 1320 slightly better, sounds like me. Next:

** U S A. 17815, Aug 8 at 1428-1430+, open carrier/dead air, the OSOB,
has to be WHRI which is active here weekends only; own sked shows
so-called Angel 1 on 17.815 not until 1900 on Sat & Sun. Even this
might be an exaggeration like so many other imaginary entries. HFCC
shows it registered available 1400-2100 daily, 85 degrees toward
Africa. Angel 1 sked shows that service is supposed to be on 21610 at
this time merely with LeSEA music fill, where we have not detected it
in ages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Sat Aug 8 at 1513, checking the remotes for KVOH
during presumed `Wavescan`: JBA at TWR Bonaire; no signal at TWRs Key
West, Boa Vista, Raleigh; but JBA at DR; not at Brasília (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. RF-31, Aug 8 around 1500 UT, minor tropo boost from Kansas
allows KDCU Derby (Wichita) to decode briefly with infomercial in
Spanish, after having spotted Bad signals on 8 and 10 likely also
Wichita into my broken UHF/VHF antenna (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 14895.6-USB, Aug 8 at 1358, 2-way in Spanish discussing
putas, and whistling (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 1805 UT August 8

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Friday August 7 just as I tune in RTA via
FRANCE via UTwente SDR, at 1827.5 English segment is starting, about a
female singer named Aishi(?). Good -60-70 dBm with self-QRM only from
the beeping. 1832 switches to general info about that American style
of music, jazz, with clips of ``Lewis`` Armstrong in ``Wonderful
World`` and ``Hello, Dolly``, and others from New Orleans. 1837.5 just
music. 1838.5 into Spanish, `Africa Hoy` about the Gran Museo in
Egypt. 1849 French ID as R. Algerie Internationale, music; 1851.5
brief Qur`an reminding God that it is Great; 1854 bit of Arabic talk,
pop music to 1859* chopoff. Maybe the Q was for vespers as Algiers LSS
was 1848, close enough? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. Correxion: the offset from 11780 to 11731 and 11829 is 49
not 39 kHz; fixed:

11731 and weaker 11829 approx., August 6 at 2346 suspicious blobs with
no readable modulation, but they happen to be ~49 kHz equidistant
from: 11780 RNA which is S9+20/30 and distorted; it has
been a spur-producer before. The lower one QRMs Romania in Spanish on
11730. Then I try to detect them on some S and N American SDRs but
cannot; even at Braslia 11780 is not very strong by groundwave (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 7730, Aug 7 at 1332, CNR1 jammer at S4-S6, confirmed as such
by // 13130 et al., shortly. Aoki shows SOH & jamming up to 24h on
7730, Mandarin except for diversion to the Cantonese hour at 15-16.
Still seems odd for anything but WRMI to be heard here. Fortunately,
when it is on evening and night, we never have any QRM.

CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 7 at 1336, mostly JBA to JBA carriers except
here S-ed: 13130 S5-S8, 13020, 12500, 12190 S7-S9 vs CODAR;

1341: 13835 with self-echo from two and // the WOOBs as CNR1; 14850;
11460, 11440.

1346: 11170 S4-S6, 11150, 11070, 10820 S2-S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. At 1650 this Friday August 7, I remember that Uncle Bill`s
shows are now scheduled on 9670 from Channel 292, Germany, 16-18 UT
--- UTwente and e.g. Lisbon SDR have nothing but JBA carriers. At
least there is no CCI or ACI. By 1742 some music audible at both,
better at UTwente, but vs lots of noise level. UTw improving, -75 to
-85 dBm. 1750: at UTwente: Seems more splash from faroff 9685 Urumqi
bigsig than from 9665 Pyongyang. As I posted step by step on the WOR
iogroup. Bill Tilford replies:

``Thanks Glenn, We're going to give this one more try next week just
to exclude a bad day at ionosphere rock, if the results are similar
we'll then test a few hours later. We will be keeping our
transmissions on 6070 either way, this is a possible addition rather
than a substitute. --Bill``

Just now saw this at 2220 -- checking 9670 on UTwente, nothin but
noise. Glenn

``NEWS FLASH - REPEAT TEST OF 9670 TONITE!!
After conferring with Channel 292, we are going to do repeat tests of
9670 kHz tonite as follows:
2100-2200 UTC - From the Isle of Music
2300-0000 UTC - Uncle Bill's Melting Pot

Another program, Radio Waves International, will be in the middle at

finally back on air after a few days missing. Now I check WRMI FB:

``WRMI Radio Miami International
Yesterday at 11:44 AM · [EDT? August 6]

Dear WRMI Listeners: Earlier this week we experienced a severe
thunderstorm in the area of our transmitter site in Okeechobee (just
after Hurricane Isaias passed by). Our power lines were affected by
the storm. We did not lose power fortunately, but there was a power
surge which blew out some lights in our building and also blew out
some parts in our Transmitter #1 which operates on 7780 kHz. Our
engineers have been working on this for a few days now and have
replaced a number of components in the transmitter, but it still needs
more work to get it back on the air. In the meantime, we are
broadcasting all of our programs that are normally on 7780 kHz from
2000-0200 UTC on the alternate frequency of 15770 kHz. (This is
another one of our regular frequencies.) Both of these frequencies are
on antennas directed at 44 degrees. We will air these programs on
15770 kHz until we get the 7780 kHz transmitter back on the air, which
we hope will be tomorrow Friday August 7.

We are very sorry for this situation, but our engineers are working as
quickly as possible to get 7780 kHz back on the air. This transmitter
is normally on the air 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and has
been on this schedule for over a year now, so it really needs a bit of
downtime for technical maintenance. Thanks for your understanding.``

``WRMI Radio Miami International
5 hrs · [ago as of 2340 UT Aug 7]

Good news! 7780 kHz is back on the air. Our engineers Don Frish and
Harry Robbins have been working on this for a few days now, and it's
back in operation. Thanks for your patience everybody``

While I`m on disgraced FB, any other news from WRMI? Yes:

``WRMI Radio Miami International · July 14 ·
Longtime listeners to WYFR shortwave (the station that was here before
WRMI took over in 2013) may remember Evelyn Marcy, who was for many
years the assistant to Dan Elyea, the WYFR Station Manager. We are
sorry to report that Evelyn passed away this morning due to
complications from an operation. A number of Marcy family members have
worked at WYFR and/or WRMI, including Evelyn's husband Ed and her sons
Scott and Todd. Scott currently works as a control room operator at
WRMI. Below is a photo of Scott and Evelyn at one of our WRMI
Christmas parties.``

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Aug 8 at 0000, WBCQ webcast starting
`AAAWWW` with traditional version of ``WTO``; interjecting that ``its
time to get nasty``. Starting topix are: radio matters: early history
of ham and broadcasting 100+ years ago; the AT&T/Bell phone monopoly;
0022 lamenting living in a credit economy; 0023 call from Mr Mike in
Massachusetts that the Near-Fest for October has been cancelled ---
hamfest in NH, I think, morphing into COVID-19 discussion past 0030.
0039 AW says they are ``quadri-casting` on 7490, 6160, 5130 and 3265,
so I check them on the Rockport, Maine remote and indeed they can all
be heard well enough, so I listen on 3265 for a while till it cuts me
off. Exact frequencies not measured. More phone calls: 0040 from
Ramsey, not heard from in a long time; 0046 Kevin in Ohio, first-time
caller but long-time listener; is a fan of Ken Durchinsky(?) the
preacher just before on 7490 who thinx WINB is on 9625, and also of
Hal Turner just after AAAWWW; 0050 from Tony who hopes A&A will appear
at the next Winterfest, but Allan doubts it will take place; how many
SW transmitters does WBCQ have? Six, which means there is only one
extra when all are on the air. 0055 switches to email, Jason in
Halifax who disses Bell Canada and CBC; Chris in Connecticut where the
power is still out. Just a bit of time left for overt vote-for-Trump
urge; quick prayer and JIP Turner 0100+ already underway.

I`m not making this up, as John Carver matches with his notes:

``Tonight's show started on time on 5130, 6160 and 7490. They're using
the old version of WTO this evening. Allan and Angela in the studio
opening with some very political comments and then going into stories
about radio in the twenties and thirties. Then into talk of
telephones. Difficult to get a good signal on any of the three
frequencies this evening. Again an agitated Angela.

Phone call at 0022 from Mr. Mike to tell us that the fall Nearfest has
been cancelled. After that Allan announced that they were also
broadcasting on 3265. He also said that the superstation was working
and airing the WLC programming.

Phone call at 0040 from Ramsey. Another phone call at 0046 from a
gentleman thanking them for being on the air and stating how much he
was enjoying the program. At 0050 a phone call from Tony Straka asking
when they would next make an appearance at the Winterfest.

Reading of emails at 0055 and closing prayer at 0059. Program was off
the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
