CANADA. 14670-CUSB, Sept 8 at 2142, no signal from CHU, and have
also found it inaudible several daytime chex when it ought to
propagate even under current conditions. 7850-CUSB is audible now and
better in the evenings. At 0048 Sept 9, 3330-CUSB is also audible, and
maybe a JBA carrier on 14670? I wonder if the higher frequency has
been down, as one of their frequencies has been out of order before

VIETNAM [and non]. My observations last few days of VOV missing
from WHRI 7315 relays including English at 0000 --- nor any Spanish at
0046 Sept 9 --- are now explained by Jeff White on this week`s AWR
Wavescan, after quoting one of my previous logs of it wondering
whether that would continue under WBCQ ownership:``We have information that Voice of Vietnam relays from South
Carolina, WHRI are going to be discontinued, most likely, as the
station is planning to probably eliminate its shortwave broadcasts
altogether, and it may do shortwave [sic] broadcasts to the United
States via some local AM and FM stations``
This presumably comes from recent virtual-only B-20 HFCC conference.
See whether any other broadcasts remain? WRTH A-20 English update

2330-2400 daily As 9840vni, 12020vni"12020" is particularly interesting, as we know it`s constantly way
off-frequency about 12018.9. From Aoki/NDXC its complete schedule is
now shown:

The x is not keyed but I think means deleted or no longer heard.
After 2300 UT Sept 8 via remote in S Korea, no signals heard on 12019
or 9840 --- axually that too was always off-frequency-minus.

UNIDENTIFIED. 4940, Sept 9 at 0058, music is JBA maybe S7 between high
storm noise level [HSNL] crashes, so looks worth checking on TWR
Bonaire SDR: yes, like 3 nights ago, but not 1 or 2 nights ago, good
S8-S9 and soon into monolog by preacher in Spanish, starts saying he
is quarantined, right into biblical references. He keeps going with no
breaks past 0200, but his background noise surges whenever he pauses
even briefly: turn off the AVC!We really need an ID or at least some clue where this is coming from,
so I keep half-listening until 0205 when that SDR bumps me off, but
MEGO, altho near 100% readable, I am *not* going to pay rapt attention
to this long-winded gospel huxter. Then try other SDRs: no good at DR,
Boa Vista, Pardinho, Santiago; and Bogotá won`t work. 0237 try Bonaire
again and get back on as he is *still* going, mentions Coronavirus,
etc., a bit weaker at S6-S7.
At 0259 suddenly stops sermonizing, NO ID!!! But over to YL plugging
the lamontanacolombia.com website again, some credits, and then starts
narrating `Capítulo 12` of something, mentioning ``Narnia`` several
times; hmmm? Back on at 0346; still going with dialog. Enough for now,
but it might keep going late into the night or all-night.
See my previous discussion under PERU or unID: it could be Christian
station Radio San Antonio, Perú, or something new established by
Ethnic Radio to evangelize natives in Colombia, Venezuela; but all in
Spanish so far, testing? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

4939.995 1/2  kHz measured in Edmonton at 00.59 UT on Sept 11,
only S=5-6 -94dBm poor and tiny signal in Canada, Spanish recogniced.
4939.971 next adjacent likely R San Antonio Peru ? similar poor signal
Next door 4985even kHz RTTY high speed signal of US NSS Navy UTE signal,
840 Hertz apart distance RTTY peaks, S=9+20dB in Alberta rx.
