** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, eQSL sent and received at 1733 UT July
29 for my LRA36 remote reception of July 25 --- but from RAE itself,
not LRA 36: ``QSL de RAE para Glenn Hauser``. It`s very nice with 6
scenic views of different regions of Argentina, not including
Antarctica, and no mention of LRA36 by name or of Antarctica. But it
does fill in 15476, date and time. I had cc`d to RAE my report to
LRA36, so perhaps an eQSL direct from the latter is still pending. The
programmation for this was after all produced by RAE so this is not
inappropriate, maybe #259 issued as in file name, while I was honored
explicitly with #1 for RAE via WRMI in May 2017y, #85 & #86 in my
gallery, linked below. This comes from an address other than what I
used:
qslrae@logdeargentina.com.ar

Here it is, #96 at

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 29 at 1405-1410: none at all found
in the WOOB areas from 15 to 9 MHz. N & S Korea, Japan are audible.
There is a large dropoff of jamming at 1400* altho SOH and other
targets may stay on later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670 and spurblobs, July 29 at 0055-0059 from RHC, about 42
kHz intervals above and below circa 11712, 11754, 11796, 11838, trace
11880, 11923; with F# tone at least; and 11634-11627, 11586, trace
11544. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28166-CW, July 29 at 1925, beacon ``VVV XE2O/B EL05 5W``
with some repeats. Somewhat chirpy and sounds like original recording
may have been hand-keyed. Wish I had measured it as I thought it was
on the plus side of 28167, but listed by WJ5O as:
``28.166 XE2O C ALLENDE, NL, MEXICO # 5W, VERTICAL NEW 30 Aug 2010
new call 7 Aug 11`` --- Ciudad de Allende is SE of Monterrey on the
way to Montemorelos. Only station audible on the 10m band, sporadic E
but MUF way below 88 MHz. See also UNID 27455-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 13755.046, Wed July 29 at 1409, JBA talk
on typical offset of USAGM sites here, i.e. RFA Cantonese via TINIAN,
this hour only M/W/F. Both before and after this hour, CRI via
Kashgar, East Turkistan, is no doubt more precisely on 13755.00 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW, July 29 at 0606, NDB PN Ponca City is off again;
and 341-MCW, EI Enid remains off since last report (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Wed July 29 at 2230 tune-in via UTwente, VOT English
is on today and VG, even without hum, but splash from 9685 which is
the orphan CRI ``Portuguese`` service of fill-music-only, via Kashgar;
why bother? --- as `Letterbox` is concluding until 2235 with host
explaining Turkey`s official line about Kurdistan --- ``just defending
our borders`` against PKK, not all Kurds. (The trouble is, the Kurds
don`t have any official borders of their own as 4 or 5 adjacent
countries gobbled up all their territory including SE part of Turkey
where Kurds are majority.) On to next feature; IS plays at 2248-2250*.
I set alarm to catch L`box from start at next and last repeat 0315
Thursday on 7275 intruding into the North American hamband (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: missed checking Wed July 29
at 2100 on WBCQ 7490v: did anyone hear it? Next and last repeat:
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

WOR 2045 should be ready by early UT Friday July 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4736.5-4740-4743.5, July 29 at 0040, strange multitonal
sending over this range, at first almost musical but could not resolve
it with any SSB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 14745.190, July 29 at 1413, JBA signal, perhaps Sound of
Hope, listed by EiBi not here but as close at 14725.3 and 14774.7
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27455-USB, July 29 at 1922, Spanish freebander pileup,
Guatemala mentioned, as sporadic E struggles to maximize its
frequency. A good time to check for Ulis` 7th harmonic of TGAV on
28385 but still no sign of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. Bruce Churchill comments on my not getting an LRA36
eQSL yet: ``Glenn, Sometimes the LRA-36 replies are within hours, but
in my experience, it`s more like several days to possibly a month or
so. But they will reply, and that’s more than I can say for most SW
stations these days ☹… Bruce``. And Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, says:
``The staff of LRA 36 are replying all the reception report received.
It will take them several days to answer all of them.

``From the second Saturday of August, LRA 36 probably will be on air
every Saturday, 15476 USB mode, repeating the Wednesday's program
"Corazón Antártico". It has to be decided if it will be on air the two
hours of the show "Corazón Antártico", or 24 hours, with the show and
music, like the last USB transmission. On Wednesday, July 29, there
will be no program, like the past July 15 and 22, due to announcer's
holiday. Next "Corazón Antártico" program will be on air on Wednesday
August 5`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 346-MCW kHz, July 28 at 0645 UT, NDB dash and YXL, 500
watts from Sioux Lookout, Ontario; tuned to 344-USB at first but also
audible on 346.

362-MCW kHz, July 28 at 0647 UT, NDB dash and SB, 500 watts from
Greater Sudbury, Ontario; tuned to 361-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey July 28 from 1334: mostly weak or even
JBA carriers except as noted: 13530 flutter; 13160; 13130; 13020;
12880; 12820 S7-S9; 12500; 12210; 11785 bigsig; 11580; 11520; 11500;

9200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. See USA: WHAS for CMHW 840

** U S A. 329-MCW kHz, July 28 at 0642 UT, NDB PMV, which is 25 watts
from Plattsmouth NE; QRM from IC 332 Wichita KS.

347-MCW kHz, July 28 at 0646 UT, NDB AFK, 25 watts from Nebraska City
NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CANADA

** U S A. 18145-USB, July 28 at 1422, Miles, barely contacting N1UGW
unheard here. Says he is in downtown St Louis so sporadic E under 500
miles.

https://www.qrz.com/lookup/ab0rj
shows ``AB0RJ USA flag, Miles E Sommer, 1825 S 9th St, Saint Louis, MO
63104 USA``
Displays several antenna photos, also dog, motorcycle. Major if not
only phone signal on band now. Then I check CB to find it hopping with
hets, and on to the 10m beaconband:

28231-CW, July 28 at 1425, dits and WA4FC/B; alternating between dits
seem to emit gridsquare, uncopied. Only one noticed but no time to dig
deeper; however, still there at 1502 recheck. WJ5O roster:
``28.231 WA4FC I PRINCE GEORGE, VA # 5W, VERTICAL new` 29 July 08``
Previously logged in June, and got a p-mail QSL card.

28300-CW, July 28 at 2012, K6FRC/B sends nothing but callsign as also
heard before, more than his 18 milliwatts on 13565:
``28.300 K6FRC C TRACY, CALIFORNIA # 100W, "POGO stick" VERTICAL Freq
change 8 July 09`` Only one audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: Ken Zichi, Williamston MI,
reports on the Sat July 25 at 1300 airing on WRMI:
``15770 WRMI FL Okeechobee with G Hauser’s World of Radio #2044 with

** U S A [and non]. 840 kHz, July 28 at 0400 & 0409 UT, WHAS
Louisville KY is still on. Earlier, Chris Gay tipped the WOR iog that
WHAS had announced it would go off the air at midnight - 0400 UT - for
antenna maintenance, duration unknown. I leave a radio on 840 and
around 0415 WHAS seems gone but others say it was 0417 or 0418 so it
may have been in a fade a bit before. Then listening closely I hear
some talk in Spanish, followed by mostly music. #1 suspect is CMHW
Santa Clara, CUBA. Considerable splash ACI as if from music, but
unseems from WCCO or KOA. When aimed N/S I get a fast SAH presumably
involving KVJY in the RGV, also Spanish format, but religion. Not
rechecked until 0631 when I still hear Spanish stronger; 0634 WHAS
cuts on about iHeart Radio for a few seconds, off again. *0637 WHAS
back on again, seemingly to stay, in `C2CAM` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. On July 26, I sent my log of the Sat July 25 LRA36
special for QSL, to the address I heard announced, and quoted in my
log report, tranalra36@radionacional.com.ar --- but it bounced July
27. So I resent it to an address mentioned in previous publicity:
tranalra36@radionacional.gov --- I hope this one be correct. That one
just bounced too, immediately. WHAT is the correct one? Bruce
Churchill replied: Tranalra36@radionacional.gov.ar --- This is the
correct address``. So I try a third time: no bounce, but no reply yet
either. Trana is name of the LRA36 person (Glenn Hauser, OK, July 28,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, July 28 at *0011:46.5, RHC carrier cuts on and starts
undermodulating Spanish in less than a minute. Arnie`s official sked
claims this runs from 23 to 04 UT for Rio de Janeiro, so I have been
wondering whether there would be an overlap with REE Spain (q.v.)
which on weekdays goes off at 2304*. So I set the ATS-909 to 11669-USB
and waited for a carrier/tone to appear. No collision today, but does
it ever start on time at *2300? Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11670 is the current big spurblobber, rather than 13700 in the
mornings, likely the same transmitter. At 0020 I check for those:
circa 11633 and 11713, but not equally offset, minus 37 and plus 43.
Then I go back to the lower and find it spreads as far as 11625 =
minus 45. Almost readable listening in FM or AM modes, hum along with
the telltale F# tone above Middle C. Also JBA around 11593 but no more
on the plus side with inband QRM. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, July 28 at 0056, RHC S9+10/20 of dead air in English,
then some JBM and suptortion, while // 6145 is sufficient. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.5-WBFM, July 27 at 2112 UT, ``K-95.5, Tulsa`s New
Country`` as KWEN-FM, originally counterpart of KKNG in OKC, holds its
own against our 95.7 local tnx to tropo boost after heavy rain.
Differs slightly from WTFDA DB listing, ``K-95 FM`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday July 27 at 2203, REE with Justin Coe
introducing fusion of flamenco and jazz by Daniel García, in the
thrice-weekly English service --- this sounds very familiar, and is in
fact a re-run of the Monday July 6 broadcast.

11670, Mon July 27 at 2300, REE earworm IS post-sign-off from its
weakest frequency here, for Africa until 2304* while much stronger
off-the-back instead of -side 12030 for ME continues a bit longer.
Meanwhile only the two other frequencies for N&S America, 9690 & 11940
are still programming from 2300 with Portuguese. This is correcting
the WRTH July 20 Update which had all four frequencies for that until
2330, but typo for one of them as 2200-2230 M-F. I am really checking
whether a collision at 2300 with CUBA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 27 at 2200, VOT English is on and NSS-less; 2249
recheck IS already playing after closing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 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. Terry Kruger sent me in
April 2016 the FCC CP and license pdf about this, but which I can no
longer find on the FCC website, under file number 0388-EX-PL-2015,
perhaps because the one-year experimental license expired on July 1,
2016 --- but if renewed perhaps with a different number. No hits on
the callsign either, WH2XWF, nor on ASTRA. Anyhow the pertinent info
then was:

Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates (ASTRA), LLC.

Station Locations
(1) Cross City (DIXIE), FL - NL 29-37-46; WL 83-06-28
(2) Hawthorne (PUTNAM), FL - NL 29-39-42; WL 81-57-26
(3) Inverness (CITRUS), FL - NL 28-47-58; WL 82-18-58
(4) Homosassa (CITRUS), FL - NL 28-44-55; WL 82-33-19
(5) Keystone (HILLSBOROUGH), FL - NL 29-50-40; WL 82-02-24

Each of them on the same four frequencies, all with 164 watts ERP:
4443, 4647, 6769, 6993 kHz. They may be running open carriers only
without IDs or anything, but too weak to be sure. Can anyone confirm
whether same ones are still going on 6993?

Closest hits on HF Underground are complaints about a carrier on 6993
QRMing a naughty pirate call on 6995 in 2016, 2017. No significant
hits on call or frequency at UDXF iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: confirmed Monday
July 27 from 1800:47.5 on IRRS via BULGARIA 7290, usual VG signal at
UTwente SDR and also usual inevitable worble from 7291 and splash from
7280 & 7300. Open carrier at tune-in 1756; a few sex before 1759 JIP
fragment of talk about pandemic; few sex before 1800 cut to IRRS
sign-on with P O Box in Milano, Feature Story News from Washington,
headlines only before WOR start. Seems running intact until recheck
just before 1830, my last few words ironically chopped off after
``when I conclude`` before I can finish ``with a standard
disclaimer``. Nevertheless, it still applies.

Also confirmed UT Tue July 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S5-S9 but JBA
direct; good at UTwente. Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 jammer survey, July 27 at 1352-1400: again
none found in the WOOB areas of 13, 12, 11, 10 or even 9 MHz; but
there is a poor inband signal on 9680 until 1400* timesignal and off.
Is it propagation, or has there been a cutback? N Korea is still
propagating poor-fairly on 11735, 11710, self-jamming on 9435, and S
Korea on this week`s jumparound 9095.

11440, an hour later at 1454 at least is JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 11880, July 27 at 1455, S9+30 of open carrier, so CRI
Plus English relay via CUBA at 1500 seems promising tho did not get
around to evaluating. There had been reports of this missing, not only
from the canceled 14-15 hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11634-11635, July 27 at 0133, extremely distorted spurblob at
S5-S7 but loud, and tone also audible in FM mode; with similar sound
on source 11670 RHC transmitter, and more at 35-36 kHz intervals:
11706, 11742, 11776 vs Brasil 11780.

It so happens that `En Contacto` starts at 0135 UT Monday, Arnie with
variety of topix, including ``QSL en el aire`` to someone in Arequipa,
Perú for a report of --- 11670! NOTHING said about the spurs it
outputs! Arnie says this transmitter and antenna put out 4 megawatts
of ERP. Then another report from Brasil of someone hearing English on
15140 at 1900 --- and again no mention of the constantly defective
modulation there! And if a QSL on the Air is provided, does that mean
you don`t get a hard- or e-copy?? Axually listening on clear 11760;
also on 11800 which is suptorted; wiggle that patchcord! Somethings`
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 5150-USB, July 27 at 0127, JBA music vs HSNL. Per
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,69905.0.html
it`s Radio 48. This area just above Area 51 has become active for
pirates I need to check more often (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Despite heavy storms in western Kansas heading this way,
some ND beacons are audible vs the noise:

388-MCW kHz, July 27 at 0533 UT, OB --- pretty sure of this ID but no
matches in either list nor on adjacent frequencies; closest would be
OK, 388 in Okmulgee OK, 25 watts.

395-MCW kHz, July 27 at 0542 UT, ULS, 25 watts in Ulysses KS where the
storms are.

417-MCW kHz, July 27 at 0543 UT, IY, 25 watts in Charles CItY, Iowa; I
was tuned to 415-USB.

420-MCW kHz, July 27 at 0546 UT, PK, 25 watts at Olathe - Herbb KS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday July 27 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG at Austin TX KiwiSDR, close to
its aim, and at 0053 check also VG here, S9+20/30.

Also confirmed UT Mon July 27 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, VP S5-S7 here.

Also confirmed UT Mon July 27 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG at UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Mon July 27 from 0302 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130, good
at Rochester SDR; here, S9/+10 including high storm noise level from
Kansas.

Also confirmed UT Mon July 27 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, JBA here;
inaudible on TWR SDRs Bonaire, DR, Boa Vista, but fair at Brasília,
good at Maine SDR! Next:

1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 9955, July 27 at 1402, WRMI is still on with anti-ChiCom
comments from Freedom Synergy Radio, but gone at 1419 recheck. So it
seems running past 1400 weekdays is irregular, unintentional (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, July 27 at 0128, S9+30/40 of dead air and then
annoying fast busy signal for at least a minute before I get out of
there. Someone`s program feed by phone has failed to WWRB; at least
confirmed still on air UT Mondays and presumably also Sundays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1540-, July 27 at 0147 UT, big low het to 1540.0 stations,
doubtless KGBC Galveston TX doing it again sporadically.

1560, July 27 at 0147 UT, Vietnamese in the mix but not dominant,
doubtless KGOW Bellaire TX; both Houston market; vs a Fox Sports Radio
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, July 27 at 0155:
nothing lower but a JJBBA het from 891 upon WLS, doubtless the
Algerian which makes it if any (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6970, July 27 at 0125, JBA AM carrier, maybe a pirate or
mixing product. Nothing recent on HFUnderground. With bonker QRM from
about 6973 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, July 26 at 1545, LRA36 has supposedly
stayed on all night until 1500 but it`s still on, as activity
publicity never seems accurately fulfilled; sufficient via Brasil SDR,
almost nothing but music; `Ave Maria` nice harmony hymn playing at
tune-in, then lots more secular? songs. 1606 mentions Santiago del
Estero; 1633 song about Provincia de Santa Fe; 1802 brief talk about
the music; 1816 at last canned LRA36 ID and plug `Corazón Antártico`
program. Finally cut off about 1833*. I had been listening with half
an ear all this time, mainly to WYSU`s pipe organ music. Let`s face
it, hardly any of the program content on LRA36 is about *ANTARCTICA*,
rather Argentina and lots of music which is hardly Antarctican either
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 26 at 1355-1400: NONE found WOOB in
the 13s, 12s, 11s, or 10s, but in the 9s: 9215, 9230 VP in Chinese; I
suppose due to depressed propagation rather than operation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, July 26 at 0558, RHC English is S9+10/20 but suptorted,
and no signal on 2 x = 12200. 6000 is only S9 and also suptorted; 6145
S9 not distorted but undermodulated. 5040 off already. Something`s
always wrong at RHC.

Feliz 26; Patria o Suerte, ¡Pensaremos! I am still awaiting
photographic evidence that anyone has scrawled this, my contrarian
motto on a surface anywhere inside Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 >> // 15140, Sunday July 26 at 1501, weekly RHC Spanish
opening; YL mispronounces Ameriko as Amériko; despite seeming fluency
cannot escape her native Spanish accentuation for Espo`s invariable
penultimate accent, so I don`t even stay tuned to hear her give the
wrong schedule. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 15825 & 13845, WWCRs are boosted by sporadic E, so I check
10m hambeacons, exact frequencies accepted, not measured, lookups in
the WJ5O roster and QRZ.com, July 26:

28225.5-CW, July 26 at 1418, VVV DE W2DLL/B ... ending with K as if
anyone should answer. Also listed on 28150 but this is:
``28.2255 W2DLL C BUFFALO, NEW YORK # 20W, DIPOLE QTH & Power change
25 Sept 11/28 Feb 16``
``W2DLL USA flag USA, Dana L Laurie, Buffalo, NY 14210 USA``

28298-CW, July 26 at 1422, K5TLL/B, slow WPM and strong
``28.298 K5TLL C HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI # 25W, VERTICAL New Freq 14
Dec 08``
``K5TLL USA flag, TERENCE L LOWERY, HATTIESBURG, MS 39402
Beacon station is a Uniden HR-2510, 25 watts ID-O-Matic keyer by
http://www.HamGadgets.com ``

28276-CW, July 26 at 1423, VVV DE K - M/B, full call not copiable, but
this is the only one that fits frequency, letters, area:
``28.276 K4FUM * LOGANVILLE, GEORGIA # 10W, VERTICAL (*synchronized)
on the min)``
``K4FUM USA flag, JERE T SANDIDGE, LOGANVILLE, GA 30052``

28264.3-CW, July 26 at 1446, VVV KD4AOZ/B, fast WPM and QRM from a
slightly different pitch/frequency. Copied as AOG but one of us must
have missed a dit:
``28.2643 KD4AOZ C WATKINSVILLE, GEORGIA # 10W, OMNI new 19 Jan 14``
``KD4AOZ USA flag, JEFFREY E CROWELL, WATKINSVILLE, GA 30677``

28290-CW, July 26 at 1459, AL DE WJ5O/B:
``28.2893 WJ5O C TROY ALABAMA # 2W VERTICAL New Frequency 25 Jan 14``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Sunday July 26 at 1351, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is in Spanish
as scheduled before switch to English, S9+10/20. Maybe not off for
maintenance today? 1917 JBA carrier vs local noise blob (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9605, July 26 at 1353, gospel huxter in English, S9+10/20.
Aside from KBS relays at 01-02, WHRI on 9605 only this one hour per
week, per EiBi, to Central America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
