** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, Aug 8 at 0620, music at S3/S5, no doubt
Ifrikya FM, the OSOB except for 17850 JBA carrier which would be
France. Usually at least a trace of 17600 in the nightmiddle, depite
the `high` frequency and little else on 16 or even 19m. Also JBA at
1455. Nominal sked per EiBi is 0600-2200 Béchar site in Arabic but
with irregular French at 0630-0730 & 1900-1930. In fact I think there
is more of a mixture of languages, incuding at least bits of English
IDs, and 5-minute segments tho none caught lately. HFCC merely
0600-2200, and nothing else ever on 17600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA. re: 21288 USB, August 7 at 2210, TI5/N4YDU making
quickontax, a contest? QRZ.com does not explain why he be in CR nor
for how long, but page has not been updated for 7+ years: ``N4YDU USA
flag USA, NATHAN G MORESCHI, 225 Lumberjack Lane, Louisburg, NC 27549,
USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

I contacted Nate on CW tonight; he was operating TI7W, which is a
“contest station". Many hams go to Caribbean or Central American
countries for contest weekends, where they can rent the use of a
well-appointed stations like TI7W. I'm guessing he's there for the
Worked All Europe contest this weekend (CW version), and perhaps he's
staying over til the following weekend for the North American QSO
Party (SSB).

When visitors are operating during non-contest periods, I believe they
must apply for their own station license (or there may be a reciprocal
agreement in some countries), thus the TI5/N4YDU callsign. Since they
are only away from home temporarily, I wouldn’t expect them to edit
their QRZ page.

Some ops, especially frequent contesters, prefer to make "quickontax",
as you call them, even if they're not in a contest at the moment. This
would better allow them to see how well their signal is getting out,
but it's also a matter of preferred style, of course.

** NEW ZEALAND. 13690.02 approx., Aug 8 at 0626, RNZP at S9/+20. Most
of its frequencies are slightly askew+plus. There is still no link to
``How to Listen`` SW sked from this homepage:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international which is what you get when trying
http://www.rnzi.com
You have to know to go directly to this:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen
Which shows switch from 13690 to 9700 is supposed to happen at
0558/0559. And 17675 to 13690 at 0458/0459, i.e. only one hour on
13690. On same date, Rodney Johnson in MN found them on 17675 past
0500, and 9700 after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWAZILAND [and non]. 15105, August 8 at 1456, music at S7. It`s the
end of a TWR segment in Afar. Attn to this frequency where Netherlands
pirate Cupid Radio has appeared, open at times other than: At 03-07
North Korea, and Eswátini convolution per EiBi:

** COLOMBIA. 21270 USB, Aug 7 at 2208, 5K3L calling QRZ/CQ making
quickontax in some contest including W2LQC? QRZ.com: ``5K3L Colombia
flag Colombia, LIGA DE RADIOAFICIONADOS DE BOGOTA - HK3LRB, CALLE 125
# 21A - 84 Oficina 201, Bogota 111011, Colombia. QSL: Via LoTW,
QRZ.com, eQSL, Direct``. And here`s why the odd prefix: 5K3L
``Commemorative QSL - QSL Conmemorativa, 205th Anniversary of the
Battle of Boyaca, August 7th - 1819`` [sic; it`s Boyacá and Bogotá],
and yesterday: ``Commemorative QSL - QSL Conmemorativa, 486th
Anniversary of the Foundation of Bogotá, August 6th - 1538``. Nothing
heard about such events on the air. After nosigs on 28 or 24 MHz
bands, first one I hit tuning down from 21450; then back up to CR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA.. 21288 USB, August 7 at 2210, TI5/N4YDU making
quickontax, a contest? QRZ.com does not explain why he be in CR nor
for how long, but page has not been updated for 7+ years: ``N4YDU USA

** CUBA. 5800, Aug 7 at 0630, lite pulse jamming against nothing as
not ``needed`` after 0400 when WRMI ends anti-ChiCommunist `Freedom
Synergy Radio`. However, at 0300 today, JRX in PBrasil was getting it
with no QRM. The other side:

``Unfortunately, Cuba is not Venezuela --- Although el chavismo tried
to mimic Castro's totalitarian methods, it never managed to demolish
Venezuelan society like the Cuban regime did on the island. RAFAELA
CRUZ | La Habana...``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.414, Aug 7 at 1911, ME music, no noise,
S9+15/25 into UTWente, same as 24 hours earlier from Riyadh with
surrogate Yemeni service, way off-frequency. BTW, have not noticed the
other Sa`udi on 25m, Al-Azm 11745 for quite some time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 7 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct,
previewing feature about comix, news leading with something about a
delay in investiture in Catalonia as some exile is returning from
Belgium. By 2212 the interview in progress about comic art. Other
three audible: 17715 almost as good, 15390 JBA, but 15520 for ME off
the back is dead air! and still dead at 2215 on S9+10 signal.
Something`s notright at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275.004, UT Wed August 7 at 0352, I remember just in time
to check for the final repeat of the Tue 1230 VOT English, since the
2200 was AWOL. Yes, S9+15/25 into UTwente `with-you-every-hour` promo, 0353 s/off ignoring SW. Something`s always awry at
Ankara. Quick switch to 6165: it`s off already or totally, and quick
switch back to 7275, it`s also off with hardly any time for IS.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 7 from *2200.4, JBA carrier cuts on late
0direct, so expect to get bigsig from VOT English when I switch to
UTwente: BUT no signal at 2239 nor on previous SNAFUs 11795 or 9875.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2254 monitoring: ``9955 UNITED
STATES (Florida) WRMI at 1030. Opening of Glenn Hauser report
confirming that World of Radio IS being broadcast at this time.
Covered topics ranging from 1090 AM situation in San Diego/Tijuana
area to troubles with North Korea SW transmitting.  Also mentioned
absence of pirate YHWH, which hasn't been heard at this shack since
late June. Good signal level but with some deep rolling fades.
Conclusion of WoR 2254 very choppy, likely due to rising sun at the
site in Florida. -- Fair to Good Aug 4 Rick Barton, Sun City
AZ``

Confirmed Tuesday August 6 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 into Peoria
SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 6 at 2343 the 2330 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.004, S9+5/20.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 7 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.000 at S9+5/15 and 3975.002+, S9+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 7 at 2100, on WBCQ 7490 -73 Hz =
7489.927 into Maryland SDR, S6/S8. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, August 7 at 0430, JBA carrier hetting 890 WLS.
Has got to be the hi-power ALGERIA, and a welcome sign of `the season`
coming back, storm and line noise levels low enough to audiblize a
regular. Did not perform yet a total 9/kHz bandscan for more of them.
Nothing on 531, another Algerian spot, but noise level is worse at
bandbottom. However, 891 still audible at 0628! = a sesquihour after
Algiers sunrise today at 0459 per gaisma.com - that`s pushing it but
maybe possible to the west with 300/100 kW. Hope there not be another
off-frequency Cuban here as spoiler. Probably too weak to DF it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
