** CUBA. 15410 approx., August 1 at 2151, distorted spurblob with
music and telltale F# tone, so I know immediately it has to be coming
from the nearest RHC, i.e. 15370: Yes, undermodulated there at S7,
soon with poetry or lyrix recitation; where else at ~40-kHz intervals?
S5 15333 approx. at minus 37, while they are really diffuse, now
15407-15411 audible; JBA around 15447 but not around 15289. Event from
an echoey hall, mentions Moncada, perpetual revolutionary obsession,
living in the past. Surely same spurry transmitter recently on 11670
later, and less recently on 13700 earlier. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11800, Aug 1 at 2206, RHC is S7-S8 and suptorted while its
parasitic spurs on 11790 & 11810 are mere JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 9675: after barely hearing `Encore` via Channel 292
on new 9670 via UTwente after 1700, I check again Aug 1 at 1855 to
find how bad the CCI be from EAST TURKISTAN, CRI in Persian already
there at 1800-1900 --- which taking Ivo`s advice, caused Uncle Bill to
reschedule his new Friday bihour on 9670 from August 7 to 16-18
instead of 18-20 UT. Yes, would certainly have a problem before 1900
on 9670, but a far greater problem is huge signal at UTwente on 9675,
Sa`udi Arabia in stilted Turkish, furthermore distorted
over-modulation breaking up! Riad at 1800-2100 per EiBi, 1755-2057 per
Aoki but missing from HFCC A-20! HFCC does show a further mess on
9675, 1900-2100 Egypt in Russian which I think is imaginary but not
checked after 1900; and from 2020 an hour from Iran in Spanish which
would collide with Sa`udi until it`s finished at 2057 or 2100. That`s
also likely to ACI 292 if anyprogram try to use it those hours. BTW
only two of the six airings of `Encore` classical music on WRMI are
any good here to the NW, and I do catch it UT Sunday Aug 2 at
0100-0200 on 5850 via OKC SDR; next is UT Monday 0200-0300 on 9455.
Always enjoyable and tnx to Brice Avery for producing it! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. Re my last report under unID MW: ``I was also checking page
59 of WRTH 2020, the glossy map of Europe, and notice there is a SW
site in red at San Fernando, on the SW coast of Spain just above
Gibraltar. When was there ever a SW site there, beyond Noblejas or
long-gone Arganda?? Maybe utility? I`ve always felt these maps should
be much more detailed if they would show at least major MW sites, but
they are only for SW``

Richard Langley explains that this refer to timesignal station EBC.
The diamond at the spot is in dark blue which the legend explains
refers to such SW outlets, as shown on page 669: 1 kW CW but on air
less than one hour weekdays only: 1000-1025 on 15006, 1030-1055 on

never listening at that hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

new frequency with 10 kW ND from Rohrbach, which per Ivo`s sked is
supposed to be airing `Encore` classical music at 17-18. I`m checking
both UTwente and another SDR further in Europe, Lisboa. 9670 has been
reported earlier today and July 31 testing sporadically. At 18-19 it
is to be occupied by CRI via Kashgar. But but by 1712 Encore is poorly
audible at both, better at Lisboa. No point in even trying for this

Also confirmed Sat Aug 1 after 1600 on WRN North America webcast.

Note that Okeechobee is predicted to be not far west of the hurricane
path so WRMI may experience high CCW winds and have to close down for
safety if not blown away, inconveniently scheduled for WOR airings.

finding no signal at TWR Key West, very poor at Bonaire (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, August 1 at 0541:
from low end of band up to 900 at least, no 531 or 891 from Algeria,
but the only one on 9 kHz steps is 621, surely RNE 300 kW on Tenerife,
CANARY ISLANDS. It`s almost too late for anything from Europe, but LSR
there today was 0627 UT, while e.g. in Sevilla, upon the continent
it`s 0529 UT, if I have correctly converted the confusing listings at
gaisma.com -- where you will not find a Canary heading under Africa,
but under Europe: Spain: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, not under T.

I was also checking page 59 of WRTH 2020, the glossy map of Europe,
not including Canaries even as inset, and notice there is a SW site in
red at San Fernando, on the SW coast of Spain just above Gibraltar.
When was there ever a SW site there, beyond Noblejas or long-gone

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Friday July 31, via UTwente I record the
18-19 UT hour of RTA via FRANCE, that clattering self-jamming
transmitter, to detect just when and what will be aired in English.
Starts at 1829, ``Hello, Muslims``, OM lecture about a holiday
celebrated at the end of Hajj, so I suspect Moslems already know all
about it. Every time a Big Shot is mentioned, such as Ibrahim and
Prophet Ismail, must postscript ``Peace be upon him``, or even ``Peace
and Blessings be upon him``. Is this a requirement on merely a
courtesy? May mere mortals, even non-dead ones, also be saluted thus?
I`ve seen it condensed to ``PBUH``. 1836 into Spanish YL, first about
COVID 19, then about same subject Hajj Fiesta, this version with music
relief. 1849 into French, later Arabic; 1858 brief Qur`an before
cutoff 1859* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re: ``6993, July 28 at 0054, at least two JBA carriers
beating against each other. Time for another occasional log of
presumed propagation research stations in Florida...``

Martin Potter replies on the ODXA iog:

``Hi, Glenn, Your item about the unmodulated carriers from Florida
piqued my curiosity, and I have logged them during two evenings now on
4443 and 6993 kHz. QTH here is just south of Ottawa, Canada (grid
FN25), a little ways from Florida (about 2000 km).

29 July 2020, 0148-0201 UT on 4443.00, 4443.01, and 4443.02 kHz, QSA
1-2 but clearly visible on the SpectrumLab waterfall display.
29 July 2020, 0203-0222 UT on 6992.99, 6993.00, 6993.01, and 6993.02
kHz, QSA 1-2 but clearly visible on the spectrum display.

Next night I used my GPS-disciplined oscillator as 10 MHz reference
for the HP signal generator for frequency measurement, and got the
following:
30 July 2020, 0205-0245 UT on 6993.000 and 6993.010 kHz, QSA 1-2 but
clearly visible on the spectrum display.
30 July 2020, 0246-0303 UT on 4443.000, 4443.010, and 4443.020 kHz,
QSA 2 and clearly visible.

The frequencies were measured without difficulty and there was no
great Doppler shifting of the signals on this north-south path, so I
believe my accuracy is within one hertz. For whatever it is worth, if
there was any difference in signal strength in my observations, the
signal on the whole kilohertz was always the strongest one. Not sure
what that means in practice.

I have attached the spectrum displays from 29 July {visible also in
the WOR iog}. Please ignore the accuracy of the frequency scale in
these as it is determined by offset of the receiver tuning, and is
good only for showing frequency differences, rather than absolute
frequency.

As you might expect, none of these carriers is heard here during the
daytime, only after sunset. I hope you can make something of all this.
Thanks and take care! Very 73, Martin Potter VE3OAT`` WORLD OF RADIO

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2045 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Friday July 31 at 2200 on WRMI 9955 - first I am checking SDRs and
find no signal at the three Caribbean-area TWRs, not in Brazil either,
but at Bogotá, I realize there is a considerable carrier there but no
modulation! The webcast won`t run either. Then I check here direct and
also find S4-S6 of dead air. 2208 I e-mail WRMI about this, and Jeff
says they will check it out. But it`s still OC/DA at 2234 when I
survey the other WRMIs on air at this hour, and they all seem nominal:
9455, 9395, 5850, 5800; 5950 is on JBA but can`t be certain it`s
modulating. By 2305, 9955 is still DA vs jamming. 0039 August 1 seems
off while J continues; by 0128, 9955 is back on with music.

WOR 2045 is confirmed UT Sat August 1 at 0130 on WRMI trimulcast: 7780
fair S9, 5010 better S9+10 but both vs noise level, while 5850 is VG
S9+30/40. I listen straight thru on 5850 to be sure it`s OK as this
edition required a lot of editing due to technical problems. OK.

** U S A. (7490+), UT Sat August 1 at 0000 I start monitoring WBCQ
webcast of `Allan and Angela Weiner Worldwide` --- surprise! A very
frenetic jazzed-up version of ``William Tell Overture``. Allan thanks
Jason for that, sounds like the Siberian Orchestra? Initial topix:
``We all need to lighten up``; how beautiful Angela is, a wife he
loves so much; did you know that in the olden days of radio those on
the air would dress up even tho no one could see them: now we are
slobs. 0019 how AW listens to Rush and appreciates him; Angela says
for the elexion in November we have a choice between Donald Trump and
North Korea --- as the Democrats will turn US into a socialist
dictatorship; Allan would not go quite that far but says Biden is not
a real candidate, a joke. I can`t take any more of that, but check the
other frequencies via Alexandria remote: 5130 and 6160- are both on
but noisy. By 0053 I tune to 7490+ direct as he goes into a couple
e-mails; 0057 benedixion and wrapup.

Welcome back to John Carver, who`s back online, for his version of

``Tonight's AAWWW --- Tonight's show started on time on 5130, 6160 and
7490 with a different version of WTO. Allan and Angela in the studio.
Allan says Jason was responsible for the version of WTO that was
played this evening. Opening comments about the different version of
the opening theme song and how was dressed this evening. Allan states
that the biggest problem in this country is that people have lost
their sense of humor and take offense they don't like and free speech
be damned. A very wound up animated Angela again this evening. Lots
of virus talk and some political talk. Reading of emails at 0054 and
closing prayer at 0057. There was no transmitter or antenna talk this
evening and no station news at all. Program was off the air at 0100.

nearby: 11828, 1330-1358, V of Turkey in Kazakh. Does not appear to be
a typo, correctly placed between 11825s and 11830s. That`s supposed to

Ibrahim does the sign-on, claiming it`s the 1330-1430 broadcast on
15450 while it`s really an hour earlier all summer. More features
follow until `Letterbox` starts at :19 into.

Follows up to last week about his friend in Malaysia with cancer: he
died on July 23. Letters from: Otto Schwartz, Calabash?? NC USA whose
handwriting is as bad as a doctor`s but is a very handsome guy with
very big hands, and whose picture will be put on the wall forever;
next from Michael Goeren?, Upland? California USA who had QRM from
hams on 40m band; Brian D Webb, Upper Hutt, NZ; Japan who is getting
fat for lack of exercise; and about protecting borders against PKK
terrorist group which is where I came in on the 2200 broadcast:
``Turkish nation never killed any innocent people``. Says next
`Letterbox` will be in *two* weeks time, ending at :33, into `Did You
Know That` about healing mud baths, by YL announcer also with heavy
accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18115-USB, July 30 at 1840, long ragchew about lawn care,
etc., finally ID as W7ID. The only phone station on band besides his
JBA contact, after also finding no propagation on 10, 11, 12 or 15
meters. DXMap does not show any Es MUF blob between us. QRZ.com:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu July 30 at
0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA here but good at UTwente Holland SDR. New WOR
2045 should be ready early UT Friday July 31 for first WRMI airing at
2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, UT Thu July 30 at 0042, Jeff White with examples of
cable TV audio when he was in a Phnom Penh hotel (why? when?) as `AWR
Wavescan` feature. Thought it might be // 5010 but too buried in
noise; should have checked 5950 which I later find scheduled // for
System G during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
