** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Saturday August 22 at 1442, LRA36
already on with songs at S2-S4 via Brasil KiwiSDR; 1444 usual canned
ID for `Corazón Antártico` and phone, e-mail contact info. 1517 song,
1518 another ID; still going 1603 music, by 1700 down to S1-S3. Still
past 1735. JBA by 1748. No telling how much longer. Not really
readable now or earlier. We were expecting this to start at 1630 like
previous Saturdays, presumably replaying the Wednesday show; tnx to
Manuel Méndez, Spain, who was barely getting it direct from sign-on
*1409 with Morse code (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 11232-USB, Aug 21 at 2352 selcall tones, and 2-way
mentioning maybe Lajes (Azores) but this is EiBi-listed as Trenton
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. Why not, check a different daypart than usual circa 1400 for
CNR1 jammers, Aug 21 at 2347, and there are a few on typical
frequencies: 13530 JBA vs CODAR, 13160 & 14850 JBA fluttery carriers,
14920 Chinese at S5-S7; none in the 15s, 16s, 10s or 11s (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 22 at 1355-1400*; none in 16s; 15165
& 15130; JBA carriers 14920, 14870, 14850; 13920 S4-S6, 13835, 13530,
13150, 13130; 12190; more than JBA on 11170, 10870 S7, 10820.

Aug 22 at 1425: JBA on 10870, 11100, 11150, 11170; 11440 two JBA
carriers beating; 12820 & 12835 S8-S9, 12880; none in the lower 9s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5055, Aug 22 at 0614, mixture of talk and music, NOT
AUSTRALIA! But leapfrog mixing product another 15 kHz beyond, of 5025
Rebelde over 5040 RHC English, the latter on later than usual, and
with same extreme modulation breaking up `Ed Newman` on both. 5055 is
S9+10; 5040 is S9+20/30; 5025 with good music modulation is also
S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Both fundamentals
listed as Bauta site. There is no reverse leapfrog on 5010, luckily
for WRMI earlier. 0616 Rebelde YL ID and TC for 2:16 am (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sat Aug 22 at 0605, no signal from VON, nor any on
alternatives as have happened: 9690-, 11770-, let alone 15120 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 11254-USB, Aug 21 at 2353, roboyl with VOLMET for a number of
``xxx international`` airports, hard to copy names. EiBi lists as RAF.
``No information available`` for several; maybe mentions Congo,
Brazzaville. Still there at 0142 Aug 22 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. (6160, 7490), UT Sat Aug 22 at 0000, Area 61 webcast, which
otherwise is 5130 programming, is running late with `Old Tyme Radio`,
an Amos & Andy reproduxion episode by Ed Bolton, which used to be a
regular on WBCQ, and NOT on the ``proposed`` schedule we got, instead
of Superman, so will have to join `AAAWWW` late, as WTO theme has
already started on 7490 webcast. I listen more or less to whole hour
hoping for more info on the WHRI acquisition, but not much other than
waiting for the deal to close. Looking for engineers and operators in
Maine: pay is good but not much benefits, and cost of living is low,
good place if you like winter sports. Applicants will be interviewed
(remotedly?). Over the years some 50 expensive tubes have been
returned for rebuilding. 0020 sez quadri-casting tonight on 3265,
5130, 6160, 7490, 21 August YOOL 2020; and now it`s dark at this hour
as summer is latening, days shortening. 0022 A&A get into vicious
political rants totally anti-Democratic and pro-Trumpic. Democratic
states are Communist-controlled. Biden and Kamala are jokes. Need
mega-landslide for Trump. They go on to accuse Dems of elexion hijinx
which are really what the Trumpublicans are doing! 0035 phone call
finally from someone contradicting them, disappointed they are
ignoring the incredible misconduct and lies of Trump, complete failure
handling the pandemic. Angela shouts him down, while Allan accepts his
free-speech right to disagree. It`s Bryan in West Chester PA. 0050
into e-mails, about WHRI? Going to fix up the facility in Furman.
Dedicated to keeping SW alive at that 250/500 kW level. There are good
people at WHRI; and he keeps referring to ``Le-See-A``.

Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 7490 and a few seconds later on
5130 and 6160. Voice over during the theme song set the tone.
Something about rioting, looting, pillaging, cop shootings all brought
about by the Democrats. Allan and Angela in the studio along with some
sexy talk and then into a rundown of all the equipment in the studio.
Brief mentions of the MW and FM stations. Also another plea for
qualified engineers to help run the superstation. Then into full blown
political talk and Angela becomes animated. Among other things she
suggested that all Democrats be loaded on a pod and sent to Mars.

Phone call at 0035 from a gentleman attacking Trump's stand on the
Covid thing and his mishandling of the problem which sent Angela from
animated to agitated and a shouting match erupted between the caller
and Angela. Allan did his best to calm things down.

Reading of emails at 0050. First email asked about the purchase of
WHRI and Allan stated that the facility would be broadcasting a lot of
programming from WLC and that more details would be available later.
Allan stated that they had been getting a lot of positive emails about
the Old Time Radio show on 6160. Allan asked Angela to lead the
closing prayer this evening and she started but was cut off by the end
of the program at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. At 0428 UT Aug 22 I first posted this to several DX groups:

``WCSZ DX test from SC, OK to OK --- I am posting before reading
reports from anyone else about this. On R75 with E-W
longwire, already aimed in right direxion. 0357 UT Aug 22 tune-in to
usual jumble of presumed KNX, KFTI and more jumble. 0402 UT: suddenly
absolutely clear Morse code ID: VVV DE WCSZ, twice or was it thrice?
No voice IDs or any announcements heard so far. But none needed after
the above. 0404 UT: Handel`s Messiah, Hallelujah Chorus until 0410.
Then some other music, no ID heard but may have been lost in QRM. 0412
tune-out but may recheck later. Unknown how long test runs.

Sometimes atop, generally mixing with news/talk presumed KNX, and
country music presumed from KFTI Wichita which is low power {1 kW} at
night, but too close to here and always an annoyance since it`s
significantly off-frequency-minus. Now {on USB} I have been adjusting
the PBT to get rid of the LAH if not all of its modulation. Tnx for
the test. Pse QSL if possible.

New NRC AM Log says: U4 50000/1500; STA U1 2000/375 - tech issues. U4
means different direxional patterns day and night. But FCC AM Query
says ND day, direxional night. NRC Pattern Book 2013 shows ND day
circular pattern, I think, very crowded map with all those other 1070s
in the SE. So was this test really ND, and how much power at the
start? Until the next, Best of DX and 73 de Glenn Hauser, P O Box
1684, Enid OK 73702``

I did recheck a couple more times just as Morse IDs played again: VVV
DE WCSZ WCSZ WCSZ, at 0443.5 and 0459.5 UT. Later widely reported as
far as Norway, and Seattle --- but I bet not much closer to KNX. 1404
km = 873 stmi from Sans Souci SC to Enid; Greenville market.

The code IDs were a welcome surprise as earlier publicity said there
would be no such thing, nor sweep tones, etc. Test committee chairman
Les Rayburn in AL now says: ``The DX Test was operated by engineer Al
Hajny. His e-mail address is: alhajny@gmail.com Mr. Hajny has a
history of being very friendly to DX’ers. Let’s be respectful of that
relationship. He has not stated if he plans to verify reception
reports. I know he’s a busy guy, so if he doesn’t respond quickly,
please be patient (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. JBA 9-kHz MW carrier search Aug 22 at 0607: 936 the only
one, Morocco? Not even 711 or 846-Kiritimati, off? K-index at 0600 was
2, no storms per WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7348-CW, or slightly less, Aug 22 at 0619 long string of

** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Aug 21 at 0555 UT, dash and WG, 1000 watt ND
beacon from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Only Canadian ever heard among seven
listed on 248, two of them also a kilowatt, and four of them also with
2-letter calls lacking a Y- or -Z, but all with a dash of course.

346-MCW kHz, Aug 21 at 0601, dash and YXL, 500 watt NDB from Sioux
Lookout, Ontario. It`s way NW of Thunder Bay, not an area we associate
today with the Sioux First Nation. This does not explain where the
name came from:

https://www.northernontario.travel/sunset-country/7-interesting-facts-about-sioux-lookout
but a ``Lac Seul`` figures in its history so I wonder if Seul was
mistaken as ``Sioux``? -- pronounced soo/sue. Such interesting

OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. JBA MW carrier search of 9-kHz frequencies, Aug 20 at
0617: only 711, 846 and 1071. 846 no doubt regular Kiritimati but
never with audio; 711 Cuba or Morocco barely? 1071 intriguing with no
Europeans more than 10 kW, no NZ/Australians more than 5. Several
ME/Africans but too daytime. Of course there`s that megawatt in India,
but way too early for that. Note that het/carriers 1 kHz off 10 kHz
frequencies are often easier to detect than further in between with
lots of splash from both sides (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. JBA MW carrier search Aug 21 at 0550: 621, 846, 882,
1125 with two beating. Presumed Canary, Kiritimati; 882 has another
low-powered Canarian; and 1125 several low-powered continental
Spaniards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Aug 19 at 1445, it`s Wednesday so
another regular broadcast of LRA36 should be underway from 1400. Not a
trace direct but that`s normal now. But via Brazilian SDR, not a trace
either at tune-in 1453 or so, but I keep listening as it suddenly pops
on --- I think, rather than fading in --- at *1456 with music and talk
only S2; mostly chat past 1505; 1515 song; 1522 canned ID as ``La
Radio Pública``, 1523 contact info with phone numbers, emails; 1525
into historical talk about San Martín doing something on 17 de agosto
de 1850, unlikely anything about Antarctica, past 1530 now peaking S5;
mostly talk but 1553 song; 1556.5 ID and music; 1600.5 ``continuamos
con Corazón Antártico``, chat; 1610 mentions pandemia, 1617 song,
1622* off abruptly. I had notified the WOR iog at 1519, but no one
else reported it: guess RNASG is getting to be ho-hum, at least unless
we can DX it directly. Presumably will resume circa 1630 this Saturday
unlike last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 19 at 1353-1400: none in 16s; in the
15s against VOA Thailand, Philippines, respectively on 15165, 15130,
but not surely confirmed whether jammer or not; most rest JBA carriers

** MALI. 5995, Aug 18 at 2325, VP signal squeezed between Cuba and
Cuba, ORTM as scheduled until 2400, checking after reported coup; will
it stay on all night? Not at 0116 August 19 check. Manuel Méndez,
Spain, reported at 0629: ``5995 open today at about its usual time
0550 with African songs, but at 0600, instead of interval signal,
identification in French and comments as usual, no comments, no news,
only non stop African songs. Best 73,s Manuel``. Day frequency to
check is 9635. And will this affect the CRI Bamako relays? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA [non?]. 8989-USB, Aug 18 at 2317, JBA sounds like Spanish
gospel huxter know-it-all intonation, i.e. the unlicensed?
fisher/preacher associated with shores of this country, only S2-S3,
equivalent to the noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, Aug 19 at 0626, VON is S9/+10 but JBM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 18 at 2215, VOT English is VP here, but VG at

episodes lead off each program this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15610, Aug 18 at 2312, WEWN English getting an HF sporadic E
boost to S9 instead of JBA, better even than 12050 WEWN Spanish.
Anyhow, confirmed on the air today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

only small spots on fringes of conterminous USA, far from here with
quietude in the Great Center, so with LW overall noise level abated,
Aug 18 at 0639-0647 UT I can relog a number of Canadian ND beacons as
well as Unitedstatesians, q.v.:

326-MCW, dash and YQK, 200 watts from Kenora, Ontario

awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Lowered LW noise level allows some ND beacon logs again,

stream-of-consciousness including how Maine is like a different
country. Fun to hear him again, and once started, how can you stop?
Runs about 50 minutes. On Aug 15 we got this from WBCQ, too late to
mention on WOR 2047; to start Aug 17, and weeks to come?

``Hi Glenn, Hope you are doing well. Allan & Angela Weiner along with
Larry and Jane Will are presenting old tyme radio programs on our 6160
Khz transmitter. Monday-Friday 7pm-9pm eastern time {23-01 UT}
starting Monday August 17th. Known as Area 61 Old Tyme Radio it is a
presentation of WBCQ as a nice, pleasant, radio gift to a somewhat
troubled world. We hope all will tune in and enjoy the theatre of the
mind. Thanks, Allan & Angela Weiner``

Then these details; note the continuing patterns from night to night:

UNIDENTIFIED. Cursory trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier check Aug 18 at
0122: two on 684 kHz, Spain being the one off-frequency; 891 no doubt
Algeria, but no 711 at this time.

From 0327: 531, 621, 684, 693, 774, 855(2), 898, 1098(2), 1107*
strongest, 1215, 1305; and 711.0, so is that Cuba or not? No DFing.

At 0630, JBA carrier about 710.4, not 711. Months ago, Steve Wiseblood
in the RGV presumed he was getting Rebelde on 710.5 but I never did.
Also 621 presumed Canary, 846 Kiritimati/Pacific, maybe 1098,
Marshalls.

WOR iog discussion of my previous log: ``CUBA [and non]. 711.0, Aug 17
at 0602, JBA het presumably one of the Radios Rebeldes knocked
off-frequency again like a few months ago. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba. Too weak to get DF on it, but the only TA carrier this late
is 621 presumed Canary Islands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``

``When nearby 621 kHz from Canary Islands could be heard easily in
North America, why not the 711 kHz Moroccon transmission too?

Right 3 kilometers distance to the Atlantic Ocean coastline.

MRC_Laayoune 711 / 864 kHz 300kW (El Aaiun), del 567/657 kHz 5/50kW

``Maybe SNRT antenna is too directional in El Aaiún. But I don't know
how it is behaving in practice. I also have no idea if the EMWG data
is valid or not today. In the former Euro-African Medium Wave Guide
(EMWG), the following data were:

711 kHz: AOE - SNRT Al-Idaâ al-Amazighia (El-Aaiún), El Aaiún (300,
directional 180°) - 24h in Tamazight (Berber), Tachelhit, Rifain,
Arabic exc. when local programmes are on air: Mo-Th 1800-1900 Arabic,
Fr 1800-2300 Arabic, Sat 0000-0200 Arabic, Sat 1800-2300 Arabic, Sun
1000-1300 Arabic, Sun 1800-0200 Arabic; relay of SNRT El-Aaiún: Fr-Sa
2200-2300 Arabic; Mon 0900-1300 Rabat programme; local ID "Maghribiyya
Laayoune"; very low audio - offset frequency of 710.9970 kHz (Tibor
Gaal, Hungary)``

Months ago when Cuba was skewed before, we had this same problem. If
it`s too weak to DF, another way to rule out Eurafrica is hearing it
later when it`s daytime there, still dark between here and Cuba, so
when I rouse circa 0900 UT Aug 18, quick check hears nothing above
710, so inconclusive. Need further chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, August 18 at 1151
UT, on the DX-398 so DFing: 657, 792 and 1008 all WSW; two? on 1242.
Enid LSR 1152, so almost too late but that was when I happened to
awaken. All of these have NZ or eastern Australia possibilities, under
50 kW except for one. Then a check of lowband 10-kHz channels for
Mexicans found none (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1901 UT August 18

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 17 at 1414, after most of them have
evaporated at 1400 --- below 15 MHz, no WOOBs found until 11120 JBA
Chinese, 11100 & 10920 JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 711.0, Aug 17 at 0602, JBA het presumably one of
the Radios Rebeldes knocked off-frequency again like a few months ago.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Too weak to get DF on it, but
the only TA carrier this late is 621 presumed Canary Islands (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, Aug 17 at 0624, RHC English in mailbag from Utah,
S6-S9 from much stronger fundamental 6100. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Aug 17 at 0609, JBA carrier but with some
decent peaks, surely R. Kiribati, Xmas Island and not Europe, whence
this late the only TA carrier trace is 621 Canary/Africish. 846, 10 kW
is the closest TP split-frequency station, and it`s already well after
dark there; and anyway there are no Europeans on 846 more than 3 kW.
Additionally I get a rough DX-398 DF as closer to E/W than NE/SW. True
bearing is 252 degrees, distance only 4500 miles, and due south of
Hawaii, in the *western* hemisphere. As measured on my trusty NGS
globe.

Neither gaisma.com nor distancefromto.net can cope with the fact that
*this* part of Kiribati, the Line Islands, is *far* removed from the
main part to the west, giving out false readings for London,
Kiritimati as if it were on HQ island Tarawa, 6114 miles away and with
local time as UT+12 instead of +14! LSS varies only half an hour over
the course of a year, only 2 degrees from the Equator. It should be
similar to Honolulu which was 0500 UT today. But this gets it:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/@11185877
with LSS at 18:38 minus 14 hours = 0438 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 11735, Aug 17 at 0627, too-sweet orchestral music so
typical of this Eden, VOK, then YL talk in French so fraxured I have
to concentrate a while to be sure of language until ``bombe atomique``
heard, their signature subject; and onward with vocal songs in Korean?
Cuts off circa 0655* rousing me from my doze; for Latin America,
French at this hour a marvel of optimism. Returned on at 1404, there
it is again during Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Aug 17 at 0617, NDB PN Ponca City is still
off, and 341-MCW kHz, EI Enid JBA is still on (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.1, Aug 17 at 1741 UT, KMSI Moore Oasis Network cuts to
dead air briefly during interview; at 1742 their local translator on
89.1, K206CA is dead air too, but OK at 1747 recheck when it`s
confirmed // 88.1.

106.7, Aug 17 at 1747 UT $ tereo dead air here from KTUZ-FM Okarche,
the Spanish station, vying to outdo Oasis. I was bandscanning for Es
DX after a 100 MHz MUF spike was reported west of here: nada (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 16 at 2200, VOT English to us is not off today
but might as well be vs strong NSS RTTY adding up to S9. These
entities evidently do not recognize each other as problematic! Nor
does it speak well for their official? monitors (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 13089-USB, Aug 16 at 2159, somewhat distorted OM robovoice
obsessed with nothing but winds in knots and seas in feet --- what`s
the conversion factor between knots and feet per second, to make the
units match?? --- day by day thru Friday, then back to tonight for
Caribbean between 64 and 72 west, down to Venezuela. This is a shared
USCG frequency; per Eibi at 2130-2205 it`s NMN Chesapeake VA, elsewhen
Guam, Hawaii or California (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 25000 & 20000, Aug 16 at 2150, WWV is S9 on both tnx to
sporadic-E short-skip under 500 miles from CO to here, but there is
*no* activity to be heard on adjacent hambands 12, 15 meters. A couple
unID phoners are audible on 18134-USB and 18136.5-USB (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2047 monitoring, our Sunday evening
extravaganza of 5 opportunities on SW not to mention WRN satellite and
webcast:

Confirmed UT Monday August 17 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20/30.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 17 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, good at UTwente, VG
at Maine; also via WRN.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 17 at 0245 the 0230 on WRMI 7780, S8-S9
direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 17 starting at 0302.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ
5130, S9+10 but high storm noise level.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 17 after 0330 on WRMI 9955 and/or webcast, I
think but missed logging it.

Also confirmed Monday August 17 from 1801.7 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria,
S9+20 via UTwente but with storm crashes worse than the plus/minus 10
AACI. Runup check this week: carrier *1755.5 takes over from JBA algo,
dead air until 1758.9 sounds like Feature Story News --- yes, as not
chopped off before its outro; 1759.9 to UNESCO PSA in Spanish! about
CV; then IRRS sign-on again with deactivated? P O Box 10980 in Milano;
1801.3 FSN again where it usually inserts just before 1801.7 WOR,
which continues airing intact. 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. 15610, Aug 16 at 2155, NO signal from WEWN, AWOL again from
English day transmitter, which should be more than JBA with sporadic E
inbooming neighbor 15825 WWCR S9; and even 15555-USB WJHR S3, 15770
WRMI S8. WEWN 12050 Spanish on when checked at 2301. And 9385 WEWN
