** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915, RNA DRM tests are back, on a non-Cuban frequency, as Richard Langley reported to the WOR iog at 1804 UT Dec 2: ``As just posted in the DRMNA io group: ``"Per Brother Francisco via Twitter: 'EBC & Brasília University tests 11910 kHz DRM on air now! 16-QAM MSC, Mode A, AAC + SBR. #drmlog'"`` --- My replies:
From 1830, No signal here, but weak at Brasília SDR, better at Bonaire SDR, S5-S6, solid H2Ofall block 11905-11915 but not audible except occasional bursts of noise. Nothing else heard, but Aoki/NDXC shows what else is on 11910, hardly clear: 11910 1200-1300 CHN CHINA RADIO INTERNATIONA Amo Beijing 572 1-7 11910 1300-1357 CHN CHINA RADIO INTERNATIONA Eng Beijing 572 1-7 11910 2055-2400 J NHK WORLD RADIO JAPAN Jap Ibaragi-Kog 1-7 11910 1400-1500 THA *jammed VOICE OF AMERICA Tib Udon Thani 1-7 11910 1800-1857 KRE Voice of Korea Fre Kujang 1-7 11910 1900-1957 KRE Voice of Korea Eng Kujang 1-7 11910 2000-2050 KRE Voice of Korea (KCBS) Kor Kujang 1-7 I go back to Brasília SDR --- how far is it really from the Rodeador site? At 1924, some music is being heard at S9+15 and not // talk on 11780-AM, S9+20/30. DRM reads 14.06 kbps, 11.5 db SNR, mode B. Nothing but music about 50% of the time but keeps going into oscillation, dropping to silence and coming back as if nothing happened. The signal is not fading much, if any, at local range. At the bottom of the box there is a rotation of 3 or 4 one-line texts, about samba, drogas, weather in São Paulo. At 1945 the SNR is 18.5 dB, but still same in & out music. DRM sked menu still shows 11880. 1956, SNR is 22.4 dB, S9+35, same in & out music only. By 2110 the DRM noise is audible direct on my R75, S7-S8 vs noise level of S5; while 11780-AM is S7-S8 also. And RHC has not yet come on 11880 for the 2100 French, but it is on by 2138 check in Brazuguese. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 11910-DRM checked again via Brasília SDR at 2301, music remains cutting on and off --- but mostly off. In fact from at least 2310 constantly listening, only a few notes of music cut on at 2318. Then constantly tries to decode and fails. At 2333 I check for any QRM --- yes, there is a weak AM carrier under the noise on 11910, presumably Radio Japan until 2400, which is 300 kW at 290 degrees; but we know how well NHK propagates backwards, and it`s almost antipodal to Brasil. That may be enough to ruin this hardly robust DRM. But after Yamata is off, at 0023 Dec 3, hardly any DRM decode. Still needs some tweaking. A major defect of the DRM concept is that it has to run inside the otherwise AM SWBC bands, a big PR problem QRMing normal broadcasts, making enemies instead of friends; and which altho thinning out are still a hard place to find a clear frequency, especially for 24 hours -- while there is plenty of space in the adjacent fixed utility bands already occupied by various forms of digital transmission --- where DRM belongs, if anywhere. Ordinary SW AM reception should not be blasted inside the bands by this noise even if technically it is not QRDRMing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Dec 2 at 2110, no signal from RHC which is supposed to start French at 2100; eventually on by 2138 check in Brazuguese. At least Brazil has moved its DRM testing to 11910, q.v. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13740, Dec 3 at 0050, RHC in wrong language, not Spanish but English, which is supposed to be on 5040 only at this hour. Via Brownsville TX TWR SDR, `Chariots of Fire` theme` JBA on 13740 // VG 5040. Tnx to tip from Steven Wiseblood in the RGV who was getting 13740 well earlier in the hour. Improved here by 0055. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ERITREA [non]. 17545.06, Wed Dec 2 at 1540, VP talk and music; 1550 it`s Horn-of-Africa music, 1553 announcement, 1556 more music until 1558*. Recorded but too poor to pick out any ID. Like last Wednesday, suspected to be Bayto Yaikl clandestine, which is supposedly scheduled on Saturdays only, when it was first heard. Now broker Jeff White of RMI confirms that it`s also on Wednesdays at 1530; but I wonder if it`s also via Issoudun. A week ago it was off-frequency+plus like this, but need to check whether it`s the same offfrequenciness on Saturdays. Despite problems like clickbeeping, none here, I don`t recall any ISS transmitter being so far displaced on other known broadcasts. See previous discussions at: http://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2020_1105_1111.txt http://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2020_1119_1125.txt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 388-MCW kHz, Dec 2 at 0707 UT, ND beacon OK, which is doubly okay, from OKmulgee - Preston, 25 watts. Not often heard. What is Preston? ``Preston is an unincorporated community located in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, United States. The post office was established December 13, 1909. It was named for an Okmulgee oilman, Harry Preston. Wikipedia``. BTW, it`s a hard G in -gee, same as in Muskogee, long O, accent on middle syllable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1600 kHz, Dec 2 at 2140 UT, KUSH Cushing with Americana music is already getting QRM in Vietnamese from KRVA The Metroplex TX, still on 25 kW day power, skywave a sesquihour before sunset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1250, Dec 2 at 2143 UT, heavy SAH of about 4 Hz between country music and other music. Spanish KYYS Kansas City normally dominates; C&W around here are KRRD Fayetvil AR and KZHN Paris TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 11720, Dec 2 at 2112, VOA Grimesland with hyper African rock music, S9/+10 off the back and overmodulated/distorted. What a pity VOA prioritizes African music to Africa where there must be plenty of African music on the radios already, rather than any kind of American music of which there is a tremendous variety from classical to country. VOA should fill this hour with a different American genre each day of the week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: not airing Wed Dec 2 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, JBA something else, despite insistent listing on their System F skedgrid -- and also on the no-frequency System D. Not confirmed Wed Dec 2 at 2200:20.5 on WBCQ 7490.109V, but instead 2061 replays! This happens occasionally with WBCQ despite having 6 days to get the new edition programmed in; well, better than nothing. Confirmed Wed Dec 2 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, which I check at Brasília SDR since I have it running for 11910-DRM: S9+15/25, but fluttery and hollow with disturbed propagation, at least well above the Cuban jamming level. Also confirmed UT Thu Dec 3 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair S5-S7 at UTwente; 0057 ID after Slovakia claimed to be on 9395. Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to James F. Leppard, Anderson SC, for a check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com New WOR 2063 should be ready by early UT Friday December 4 for first broadcasts at 0130 on WRMIs 5010, 5850, 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, Dec 2 at 2120, no signal from this WRMI-9, which must be off, while 15610 WEWN and even 15555-USB WJHR remain audible if poorly. 15770 is supposed to run 1200-2400, but the only non-TOMBS and non-SMTV variety programming hours worth hearing are 13-14 & 20-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5970, Dec 2 at 0652, S9+20 of dead air except for some squeal, from WEWN Spanish, RCM; competing with 5085 WTWW-2 for deadairness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Dec 2 at 0656, S9+40 of dead air except for some hum, from WTWW-2, along with JBA spurs +/- ~13 kHz, competing with 5970 WEWN for deadairness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Re: New whooper beacon on 4095.6 as in last report: I have not been able to pull it in directly by 0700 December 2, but: There is a thread about this starting Nov 16 at: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74397.0.html including this one: ``Teotwaki Moderator DX Legend ***** Posts: 2190 Karma: +12/-1 California « Reply #28 on: November 28, 2020, 2314 UTC » Token has posted a YouTube video of receiving the DW Whooper at his home along with a detailed description of beacon's characteristics. https://youtu.be/LEKZDaD7J8g "This is a pirate beacon, probably located in the US desert south west. Some of these beacons have names, either given by the person who built / place the beacon or given by listeners who monitor the beacons, this one, at this time, is being called the "Desert Whooper", for obvious reasons. The chirps have a distinctive, and one assume intentional, non-linear chirp, or "whoop", and the CW ID is "DW". This beacon was first reported on the associated forums on HFUnderground in November, 2020. It is assumed that it started operations about the same time. The frequency of this beacon is 4095.6 kHz, and it consists of a series of chirpy CW dashes, or short, frequency chirping, duration carriers. Each dash shifts downwards in frequency by about 600 Hz from start to stop. A "cycle" for this beacon has a CW ID consisting of the letters "DW", followed by 22 chirping dashes, the first dash after the CW ID is slightly longer than the other dashes. As far as I know, whoever placed this beacon has not yet released any details of its hardware. {was sweeping *upward* when I heard via Nevada --- gh} Two other pirate beacons are seen in this video, a new and as yet unnamed beacon on 4097.2 kHz consisting of 2 second long flat chirps, and the long active Windy beacon in a failed mode. Recorded at my location in the Mojave Desert of California, USA, on 26 November, 2020, 2353 UTC." He has lots of neat beacons and other signals on videos which are available at his channel`` https://www.youtube.com/user/FirstToken/videos and ``Offline Teotwaki --- « Reply #11 on: November 21, 2020, 0036 UTC » Glad you could hear DW on the KFS SDR. BTW I saw your Twitter posts and this new beacon is unrelated to Stephen McGreevy’s “inyo whooper”. He has written some long posts here and said he is quitting beacons altogether. His beacons never had CW id’s and his whooper has been off the air for quite a while. Logged Jim`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0121 UT December 3

** GUAM. 12085.013, Dec 1 at 1509, unknown language, S Asian? but often pronouncing the word ``Bible`` as in English with long I, so suspect a gospel huxter, S6-S9 and slightly off frequency. Aoki & EiBi agree it`s KSDA AWR, but can`t agree on language: Lus in Aoki, MZ in EiBi. His readme.txt leads to ``Mizo / Lushai: India-Mizoram (0.7m) [lus]``, so that covers it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WO)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Dec 1 at 1504, S7-S9 in presumed Kurdish, apparent news with clips from Dengé Welat via PRIDNESTROVYE, also with fast SAH from another carrier, but no other audio, probably Turkish jammer; also some lite long-path echo as previously measured and explained (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 11705, Dec 1 at 1507, S8-S9 Arabish talk, i.e. Juba dialect from R. Tamazuj this hour via MADAGASCAR. Altho the furthest landmass near our antipodes, we get lots of good reception from this island, especially when beaming across Africa USward beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 8502-USB, Dec 1 at *2315, NMG USCG New Orleans cuts on just as scheduled in EiBi with marine weather, and better modulation than last time when I thought it was 8501-USB. Apparently between several voice broadcasts there are longer spans of fax from same? transmitter listed as 8503.9. Is there still heavy usage of fax mode in this context? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: Next: 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to James F.

We have discussed how WHRI is occupying 7490 at 0430-0600 so WBCQ cannot --- yet its skedgrid claims to be on 7490 at 0400-0600 Tue-Sat at least, but I already confirmed by monitoring that the show in question was axually airing on 6160v. However, I also confirmed that WORLD OF RADIO was still on 6159.9v as of 0400 UT Monday November 30. But not any more. Larry Will of Area 51 tells us: ``Hi all, WBCQ has to change the long running show "Herald of Truth" from our 7.490 MHz service to 6.160 MHz effective this Sunday. This will displace the last hour of Area 51 on Sundays, so I've arranged to move World of Radio and Hobart Radio International as follows: World of Radio, was 0400 Monday, now 2300 Sunday Hobart Radio International, was 0430 Monday, now 2330 Sunday This change will be effective this Sunday, December 6. Regards, Lw`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Dec 1 at 1516, WRMI-3 is still on after nominal 1500* weekdays, in English interview talking glowingly about exports of Taiwan, hostess YL with Spanish accent. This has got to be `Freedom Synergy Radio`, not heard or reported in a few months, come to think of it, since stopped new programming in August. I search for it on the WRMI programming and skedgrid pages, and is now nowhere to be found. Here`s my last log of it under the same circumstances, one UT hour earlier during DST: ``9955, Aug 27 at 1418, WRMI prolonged today beyond nominal 1400* with Freedom Synergy Radio talking about Taiwan in English. You never know whether this webcast-only time will also get shortwaved`` So I suspect the automation has pulled out an old file to replay, unless it has just been renewed. I also noticed 9955 on air early today, I think during the 20 UT hour with TOMBS, contrary to sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4095+ CW, Dec 2 at 0110, upward sweep tones once a second, and IDs as DW every 23 seconds. Monitored via WO7I SDR in Winnemucca, Nevada, as tipped by Joe Caberlin, Ontario at 0054, he having first heard it at 0032 via KFS SDR in CA on 4095.5. I wonder if this is related to or same as the ``W`` beacon on 4102+ heard earlier this year as a ``weather`` beacon somewhere in the SW desert, which also transmitted encoded beeps about temperature, wind, battery charge, etc. I quickly find a current log of this on HF Underground with more detail: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74397.msg249403.html#msg249403 ``Teotwaki Moderator DX Legend ***** Posts: 2190 Karma: +12/-1 California View Profile My adventures are at Sun To The North Re: New whooper beacon on 4095.6 « Reply #33 on: December 01, 2020, 1710 UTC » DW still sweeps low to high with the very first whoop going from 4095.65 to 4096.20 and the next 21 whoops from 4095.65 to 4096.1 KHz.

** CANADA. 340-MCW kHz, Dec 1 at 0137 UT, dash and YY, 500-watt ND beacon at Mont-Joli, Québec; louder than my 25?-watt local EI on 341. Mont Joli is not even in closest QC but way up on the Gaspé Peninsula, right bank of the St-Laurent, 2761 km = 1715 statute miles. Not much else from Canada audible now (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6950, Nov 30 at 1500, RHC again on wrong-punch frequency, nothing on 9650; S7-S9, also with het from an open carrier on 6948.0, pirate jamming? 6950 still at 1538 but no 6948. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 6950 had also happened again the morning of Nov 29 at 1330, reported by Chris Smolinski; and by Ivo Ivanov at 1350 with a Boca Ratón SDR. Ivo also Nov 30 after 1200; and by Wolfgang Büschel at 1243 via a Rochester NY SDR where it was 4 Hz high. Would it rerepeat the evening of Nov 30? No, not heard around 0115 UT December 1. If neither frequency be heard, could be another lysdexic sloppyrator mixup, possibilities: 6590, 5690, 5960, 6059, 6095, 9560, 9605, 9506, 9065, 9056, 0569, 0659, 0695, 0956, 0965 --- did I miss any? Etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Dec 1 at 0112, RHC English is S7/S9+10 but suptorted and JBM; only possible // 9700 is JBA, maybe RHC too. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 4980, Dec 1 at 0156, JBA carrier; could WRMI-4 be back ex-silent 11710? Quick way to find out is checking the other three 60m frequencies of PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi`s four language services which always arrive as a group, and there they are, also JBACs: 5060, 4850, 4500. I was thinking it a bit late to propagate, but not, especially in winter, with LSR at 0124. That`s 9:24! local time, as the Beijing Han imperialists force all of China to go by UT+8, even the west which ought to be UT+6 by longitude; amounts to double-DST yearound. But that`s the least of Uyghur problems, facing cultural genocide and brainwashing to wipe out Islam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Re my obs of K17JN-D Enid changes, Trip Ericson replies: ``Good morning, Thanks. I've updated K17JN-D accordingly on RabbitEars. I'd never heard of QVTV either, but I think I tracked it down. The way it's supposed to work is that any program that has captions are supposed to be passed through. Local programming for small enough stations, or networks under a certain size who produce their own programming and would have to pay to have that specific programming captioned, are exempt. There's more to it than that, but I'm not familiar with the ins and outs. Have a great one, and stay safe. - Trip`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 684, Dec 1 at 0140, strongest of JBA carriers, enough for some audio in Castilian, then jazz, and // 774, i.e. RNE1 network, Sevilla, and on the upper, Valencia strongest among synchros (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 475v-MCW kHz, Dec 1 at 0120 UT, WA4SZE/BEACON in very slow CW, as we are amid another sporadic spurt of activity. Easy copy as seems quite stronger than your MW/LW aerobeacons. It`s at WWRB / ATC airstrip in Manchester, TN, a plaything of Dave Frantz on the so-called 630-meter hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: confirmed Monday November 30 from 1900:43 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria, S9+5/15 via UTwente. Prelude: *1856:10 open carrier on; 1859:53 IRRS ID with Milano Box, 1900:15 FSN headlines, then WOR. Usual rough modulation but intact past 1915, less splash than usual as no signal on 7295 from CRI, but still plenty from 7280 Vietnam despite 10 kHz away, especially when musicking. Best in SynchAM at 5.59 kHz bandwidth but VOV ACI inevitable. It`s S9+20 as I continue impressed by their signal into W Europe direct from Hanoi, 100 kW over an all-overland Eurasian path. As for no 7295, HFCC shows that as 500 kW due west from Urumqi, CRI English at 1900-2000. Maybe it`s one of the transmitters off for maintenance until December 10, as they had notified German service listeners about other frequencies. Urumqi = East Turkistan, land of Chicom imperialist cultural genocide and brainwashing of imprisoned Uyghurs. WOR 2062 also confirmed UT Tuesday December 1 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 into UTwente, but VP S7-S8 here. NOT confirmed UT Tue Dec 1 at 0200 on WRMI 9955, too poor to be sure here, but via Pardinho Brasil SDR, it`s a gospel huxter in English. WOR was unexpectedly added to sked grid at this time only a few weeks ago and still shows there; easy go, easy come. Also confirmed UT Tue Dec 1 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9/+15 to Bonaire SDR.

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Nov 29 from 2316, mostly weak Chinese language: 6865 S6-S7; 6850 S7-S9; 7810 S7-S8; 9180; 9200; 9215 to 2325. I also tuned the entire 8 MHz band, but not the 7 MHz band where there might be non-jammer Chinese. All these check out in Aoki/NDXC as CNR1 jammer channels against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 30 at 0344 check, anonymous mystery missionary station just now at this odd time commencing another regular feature, `Lecciones de la Historia`, good S9 into Bonaire SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [non]. 6185, Nov 30 at 0439, NHK Warudo Radio Japan news in English atop fast SAH from poor XEPPM which is always offset-minus, but hardly any of its modulation penetrating. NHK relay via AUSTRIA as tipped by Ivo Ivanov, has just moved here from 6155 for the M-F 0430 and S/S 0500 English semihour, ND 300 kW for W Europe but which would reach us sufficiently if on a clear frequency, but NHK does not want us North Americans as an audience. XEPPM is only 1 kW? Also blocked at earlier 0420 check with AWR in Turkish altho supposedly toward Turkey. Meanwhile I hear nothing on 6155; surely they did not move to avoid 6159.9v WBCQ over there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6770, Nov 29 at 2318, JBA talk, S6-S7, presumed the Old Time Radio pirate -- not heard in ages despite occasional chex this far below the main pirate band. Tnx to new tip today: ``[WOR] Old Time Radio (pirate) 6770 AM 1348 UTC 29 Nov 2020 --- Not a bad signal this morning, SIO 333 to peaks of 444. https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74989.0.html Chris Smolinski, Black Cat Systems, Westminster, MD USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Circa 9 MHz as I am bandscanning, Nov 29 at 2324 wideband RF noise burst for a few seconds as my nearest streetlight is igniting, confirmed by peeking out the window. Fortunately the noise abates once it`s fully bright, not adding to the high line noise level continuing. LSS today 2317 UT with clear sky at western horizon, so it sets off +7 minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 8501-USB, Nov 29 at 2323, marine weather e.g. for 45N/78W location, robom overmodulated distorted on S9+25 peak signal. EiBi shows NMG USCG New Orleans at 2315-2350 on 8502. Pretty sure I read frequency correctly, so? If they would just back off the modulation level. Very poor image for the USCG as anyham would do better with her SSB rig (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday November 30 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, good to the ATS-909 portable but some deep fades. Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+15 to UTwente. Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 at 0230 on WRMI 5800, S9+15/20 to Bonaire SDR. Also almost synchro on WRN webcast. Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 from 0401:06 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.9, G S9+15 to Warrenton MO SDR after finding zero signals to Rochester & Alexandria, too close for skip. At 0355, before he gotta go, JL was doing a parody commercial about semen as a treatment for COVID, rather poor taste. At 0418 I found 6159.9 direct VP S7-S8. Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 after 0430 on WRMI 9955, under Cuban pulse jamming at 0444, while earlier during Prague at 0419 it was S9+10 over PJ. Next: 1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0200 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] NEW 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to James F. Leppard, Anderson SC, for a check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, Nov 29 at 2312, something barely audible tho reading S7-S9 vs HNL, can it really be WRMI? On 5800 with SMTV it`s S9+25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 6906v, Nov 30 at 0345, ROCV is still gone, no trace even on H2Ofall of a signal into Bonaire SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0605 UT November 30
