** BRAZIL. 28270.5 CW, Aug 16 at 2340-2347, JBA beacon finally copied
after multiple repeats: dash and VVV PY4MAB + more maybe gridsquare:
``28.2705 PY4MAB ? POCOS DE CALDAS, BRAZIL # beacon reported August
2010 coor[d]inated 2 Dec 2021`` per WJ5O roster. It`s the OSOB, no
other beacons or phones heard. Es MUF has been way below FM band
today, but DXMAPs show lots of multiple-hop Es between Brasil and USA
on 28 MHz. QRZ.com:

``- I have a Radio Beacon on the frequency of 28.270.5 CW, 24 hours a
day, vertical antenna, 10 watts of power. In 2020 it will be 10 years
since Beacon is on the air. Whoever receives the signals and sends me
a confirmation by letter I will respond to everyone and send a special
QSL card from my city.

** CHINA [and non]. 17595, Aug 16 at 2355, JBA carrier; and 17580, JBA
talk. Aoki shows both as CNR1, from Shijiazhuang and Lingshi 725 sites
respectively. HFCC agrees, adding both 100 kW, azimuths 217 and 286
degrees resp., i.e. nowhere near thisaway on short day path. Only
other sig on 16m is 17855 Spain still blasting in over mostly night
path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also TAIWAN [and non]

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 17 at 0333, RHC in Spanish, not English, S9+10 but
quite distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11850, Aug 17 at 0333, S9+20 but just barely modulated, obviously RHC
where something is always wrong.

12000, Aug 17 at 0334, S5/S6 of RHC English on 2 x 6000, quite weak
compared to the fundamentals on 25m, but there. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Aug 17 at 0330, MWV amid English hour, no
African accent but I guess it`s African Pathways Radio as per EiBi,
rather than KNLS programming, S8/9+10 --- No! This mapsked does not
show this hour as APR so must be NLS:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [and non]. 18899.81, Aug 16 at 2352, JBA Chinese, and since
it`s so weak and off-frequency, suspect it`s really Sound of Hope
without jamming; especially since the only other signal on this almost
disused extra SWBC band is 18970, S3/S5 of Chinese talk and music,
surely CNR1 *jammer against the only other SOH frequency, as in Aoki:
18900 2200-1000 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7
18970 2200-1000 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7

21530, Aug 16 at 2350, JBA carrier is the OSOB, which fits as the only
13 mb channel of SOH and consequently CNR1 jamming:
21530 2300-1300 TWN * SOH Xi Wang Zhi Sheng Chi Miaoli 1-7
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: almost confirmed Tuesday
August 16 at 2230 on WRMI 9955: start ``This is Glenn Hauser with
World of Radio...`` then cuts immediately to TOMBS! Was S9+15/20 into
Knoxville remote, no jamming yet. Jeff White says the audio matrix
occasionally plays wrong audio system, so I guess WOR is still
supposed to air at this time.

Confirmed Tuesday August 16 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland
SDR; but not on 5950 like last week, so I guess that were another
mistake. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW

16m, in Chinese, partly other language?, S7/S9 until 1500* timesignal
and off. HFCC shows 14-15 is USAGM in Bod dialect of Tibetan, 100 kW,
77 degrees from Lampertheim, Germany, but I think this be CNR1 jammer,
perhaps from E Turkistan site. Aoki shows VOA Tibetan *jammed. WWV
reports:
``Solar-terrestrial indices for 15 August follow.
Solar flux 131 and estimated planetary A-index 6.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 16 August was 1.

Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are likely.``

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 16 at 0640, JBA signal suspected to be overrun
again of RHC: yes, I can barely match it to the bigsig in English
still on 6165 only. Ivo Ivanov, Observer, Bulgaria, also reports:

``Radio Habana Cuba in English after 06 UT on unscheduled 11670 kHz

I don`t think 11670 is supposed to be in English before 0400 either,
rather Spanish. Of course, website not updated since Nov 17, 2020!

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW August 16, 2022 OPINION
The Fire in Matanzas: Going Out, or Just Beginning?

Accepting that the litany of disasters that Cuba is enduring is a
result of chance would mean letting Díaz-Canel off the hook, when, in
reality, it is a symptom of a failed system dragging a country towards
its ruin. RAFAELA CRUZ | La Habana [caption:]
Fuel tanks burned in the Matanzas fire. (H. López/Facebook)

A plane crashes with 113 people on board; a tornado wipes out hundreds
of homes, many of which would have survived if they had not been in
such precarious condition; a balcony collapses, killing three girls; a
hotel explodes, taking 47 lives; energy generation plants fail daily,
and one of its most important facilities burns down; and, in Matanzas,
the worst fire in Cuban history frightens everyone.

Not holding Díaz-Canel responsible for this state of affairs would
mean accepting that this series of disasters is a question of chance,
when, in reality, it is a symptom of a failed system dragging a
country towards collapse.

It was not really lightning that set fire to the Matanzas Supertanker
Base, but rather the failure of its safety systems; probably because,
like everything else in Cuba, they are in dreadful condition due to a
lack of maintenance and technological obsolescence.

While there is no proof of this, we know that of the 2,606 megawatts
(MW) that the Energy Revolution should generate, in 2021 745 MW were
out of service due to a lack of maintenance, and another 497 MW were
about to be due to equipment exceeding their operating cycle. If this
is how they treat the commander's last "feat," what can we expect
regarding the maintenance of everything else? ...``

** EGYPT. 9439.995+, Aug 16 at 2200, R. Cairo news theme recognizable
but English unreadable vs huge humwhine and distortion, S9+20/35 into
UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, Aug 16 at 0500*, KOPX OKC goes off the air. When
there is nothing else of interest, I often run one of my four TVs on
antenna with Newsy which is virtual 62-7 and never encabled; but
seldom am I motivated axually to listen to it. Soon find that KOPX
main channel, the only one on Optimum/Suddenlink cable, ch 22, is
missing, so they must also be relying on an off-air pickup. Or not
even anything by fibreoptic from studio to headend. Back on by next
check after 1500. Probably planned maintenance (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.002+, Aug 16 at 2200, VOT on today and VG modulation,
English sked and news, S9+35/45 into UTwente. 2215 `Review of the
Tuerkiyeish Press`. 2217 `Weekly Commentary`, by someone from American
University, Kabul? by heavily accented YL. No competition from
unreadable Cairo, and since it`s Tuesday, no Englishable from España
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 16 at 0500, WRMI brings up UR1 relay
but stays in UU until 0504 `Ukraine: Security Issue` in English
finally starts, by the fast-talking heavily-accented OM. I decide to
listen to it later online
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_15_08_22.mp3
where one can play it at three-quarter or even half-speed, and may
back it up if needed to copy some topix correctly. Including:

For Aug 15, Day 173 of full scale war. Russia lost almost 44K
fighters, 4K tanx, 195 helicopters, etc. U army in dire need of
artillery and aviation reinforcements. U destroyed all bridges over
Dniepr in Kherson, controlling all transport arteries, causing Russian
forces to flee. Kharkiv under massive attack, apartment block,
children`s playground, shelled. Homes near border need repairs before
winter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
