Logs
** CANADA. 14670 RCUSB, July 19 at 1639, no signal from CHU at local
range into Ottawa KiwiSDR, while 3330 & 7850 are locally strong. Some
time July 18 tuning across direct, I had noticed it missing. As Karl
Zuk points out, their ``system status``
https://nrc.canada.ca/en/chu-short-wave-station/
concedes ``14.670 MHz: offline since [2024-07-16 at 21:00 UTC]``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, July 19 at 0658, S9+40 of dead air from R. Rebelde:
something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PANAMA. 28160 CW, July 18 at 2204, VVV DE HP1RIS/B plus a lot more
letters uncopied, JBA fading out and could not copy for sure every
letter in call, but most of them matching this WGB entry:
``28159.5 HP1RIS/B - Panama City PNR FJ09ga - #0 (21 Jan 2023) Note:

Hauser, OK, WOR) Make all those: Panamá

** SPAIN. 17855, July 19 at 2200, token English from REE, S9+20/30
direct and also audible on the other three. One preview topic to be
about ME athletes in the Olympix. Lead news item, global Microsoft
outage; *rump speech. At 2224 listening S7/S9 via Bonaire SDR, sports
interview by Lebanon correspondent, 2228 bit of music fill resulting
from a `Bogotá` festival yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.020-, Fri July 19 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS
and English IDs, S9+10/20 direct but not enough to overcome line noise
level. 2223 into Bonaire SDR, song at S9/+10 but considerable 11780
ACI; S9+40/45 into UTwente. At 2229 when measured, `Weekly Analysis`
about Ukraine war, nuke threat, NATO etc. 2235 `with-you-every-hour`
promo, song. 2240 `Turkish Folk Tales` about a bottomless peat, and a
sultan. 2248 TRTVOTWorld.com promo, music. 2254 s/off ignoring SW, few
sex of IS before 2255* chop, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7633.5 USB, July 19 at 0702, ``MARS Radio``, with tones,
brief contacts, ``BFJQ`` fonetikaly. AF MARS logged previously long

** U S A. 5085 & 9475: ``WTWW: FIRE --- WTWW had an arc that caused a
fire and the loss of a power card and control card. No effect on
transmitter power. Inline image -- George McClintock 7-19-2024`` at
0542 UT (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, July 19 at 0652, WRMI again on late, not
with RFI Spanish but MEish chanting, almost Qur`anish; this has
happened before as if deliberately scheduled as such contrary to
websked. Still overshadows VANUATU on 9960 until 0659 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490 -69 Hz = 7489.931, July 20 at 0000, WBCQ, S9/+10 into
NH SDR with `AAAWWW`, not disclaimed as a replay, but obviously is
last week`s when he started talking about toilets: never mind. Then,
he was ``trimulcasting`` and said so, and I bet that`s still on this
playback despite 3265+ and 5130- being off the air now; while as usual
6160 had TOMBS before 2400 and still some gospelhuxter into the new
day; so, monalcasting? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, July 19 at 0650, no sign of WMLK, while 19m is not
totally dead of all signals. There they go again; we`ll never know
what DEJOM would have said, but I am sure it were stale (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1120, July 19 at 0713-0716+ UT, S9+35 of dead air, obviously
KMOX St Louis - even such a major outlet can fail like this; if not
some required testage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Cuba, Three Years After the 11-J Demonstrations --- Three years
after the public protests of July 11, 2021, it is important to
understand the significance of that day, and where we are now.
Juan Antonio Blanco, Miami 15 Jul 2024 - 19:35 CEST [caption:]
A corner in El Vedado, and a problematic date for the Cuban
authorities.

Three years after the events of July 11, 2021 (11-J), it is important
to realize what the significance of that day was, and where we are
now. The import of the national uprising in 2021 is that it revealed
that most of the population rejected a failed and repressive regime,
and that the idea that the Cuban people were living happily was a
fallacy manufactured and exported to the world.

And the great lesson reiterated on that July 11 is that nothing can be
secured from a dictatorship without standing up to it. . .``

``Hi Glenn, Been meaning to send a donation for weeks now. Finally
getting around to it. Thanks for including tidbits from me in the
show. Actually, you and I go back a way. I first discovered you back
in the 1970s and contributed to a print journal you published. Then in
the mid 70s I moved from Pennsylvania and my DXing came to a halt. In
the 90s I picked it up again, and actually had a Philips DC-777 SW
receiver in my car. It was a joy to listen to the BBC, R Moscow, R
Luxembourg, etc. as I drove around Pennsylvania. But as we all know,
things began to fade away to what they are today. Nonetheless, I am
happy to be back at it, tracking down what there is as well as
presenting Pop Shop Radio. Never dreamed as a kid that I'd someday be
on shortwave``

** U S A. 15150, July 18 at 0645, WMLK gone again, not even a JBA
carrier, while there are various weak signals on 19m and WRMI remains
S9+ in Spanish on 15770. At 1738 July 18, 9275 is also gone again,
zero sig into Maine SDR. Very unreliable; you never know whether will
be on air or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2252)

** U S A. Following up on the 1650 kHz UNIDENTIFIED tone overnight:
I`ve been listening on remotes from 0345 past 0500 UT July 18: only
one Kiwi near LA, not in LA itself, useless. One San Diego NG, another
good and also the Pahrump, NV one - both getting mixture of Korean
from KFOX, and Spanish sports, i.e. El Paso, KSVE with TUDN network.
At 0459, KFOX ID in English, ``AM 1650, southern California`s #1
Korean language radio station``, a few words of Korean, and 0500 the
tone hits --- but the Spanish is gone and by 0505 am still hearing
Korean. Then check the nearest remote to El Paso, T or C NM, and it`s
getting ONLY the tone. That concludes it`s KSVE! There is also a SAH
of about 2 Hz on the tone. BTW both licensed underpowered at night:
KSVE 850 watts, KFOX 490 watts. At 0638 UT July 18 I DF it easily on
the DX-398 as WSW/ENE. That fits for El Paso. Should have done that in
the first place. Also note Vance says it`s a local signal for him, so
sticking with KSVE. El Paso is also closer to Walt`s 130-degree
bearing from BC, than KFOX or anything else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 2252)

{other recent posts on IRCA:}

``Glenn, Further to the posts re this originally on MWOffsets, the
conclusion back in May was that KFOX was the source. I still hear the
heterodyne beat occasionally when scanning across the X-Band down here
in the South Pacific. Best 73, Bryan`` Clark, New Zealand

``Bryan, OK, that seems likely, but from mwoffsets it is not very
clear how you and Tony finally confirmed that. Seems all
circumstantial. Niven doesn`t get it from the south in TX; calculated
2 Hz low at center? but mwoffsets as of Jan had KFOX only 0.1 Hz low.
Was there ever any kind of ID or local clue? Local quality signal in
Los Angeles area? Triangulation? KFOX admits it when contacted? TDOA?
Strange that everyone refers to them as spurs or het rather than a
tone - at a certain pitch. BTW if it were modulating speech it would
be in Korean. One might hear the transition at 05 or 12 UT. Glenn``

{The mwoffsets iog thread searching on KFOX:}

``1650 AM transmitter spurs

Probably KFOX has side carriers about there: Walter Salmaniw via

Centre point for these is 1649.998, so perhaps KFOX or CINA have a
transmitter of transmission issue?
By Bryan Clark · #950 · May 21``

``Searching on 1650 I also found: Someone near CINA ruled that out by
offset. Another item from Niven, he was getting it aiming west. Walt`s
130 bearing is rough, not DFing by nulling 90 degrees off, and 130
hits the AZ/NM/CO/UT Four Corners - not too far from Denverish. 73,
Glenn``

Re Tone on 1650 overnight, John Johnson, Jul 17 #41947: ``I’ve been
trying to figure out the 1650 tone for many months now. It’s a daily
thing. Pretty strong tone here. This morning 05:00 UTC the tone came
on like you mentioned. At that time, I was also hearing KBJD and KSVE
both with clear IDs. Then at 12:00 UTC similar, but this time KFOX was
strong over the tone. KBJD, KSVE, and KFOX are all regulars into
Phoenix, Arizona. Hopefully, someone can determine the station sending
the tone. 73, John C. Johnson, Mesa, AZ 85212-2923,

Wellbrook ALA 1530LNP``

John Johnson, 3:29pm #41962: ``Glenn, I heard KSVE with programming
and ID and the tone comes up with them still there. I've heard KFOX,
KSVE, and KBJD all while tone starts. Not any of those 3. 73, John``

Robert Vance, 10:55am #41958: ``Good Morning; This is what I'm getting
now. I also tuned it with an SDRDuo in diversity mode and nothing else
was heard on 1650 once I nulled it. I had presumed this to be local
KSVE, without giving it a second thought. I hope this helps. 73's
Robert Vance - El Paso, TX``

Robert Vance, 12:03pm #41959: ``As an update to what I posted earlier,
at 1200Z, the tones were replaced by TuDN Radio programming. 73's
Robert Vance, El Paso, TX``

Joseph Miller, 8:01am #41957: ``Thank you Glenn and John, From my
location between LA and Palm Springs, I heard the tone at 7:10 utc
sometimes over sometimes under KFOX in LA. I haven’t looked up the
KSVE’s nighttime pattern but I suspect it may have a lobe to the west.
(I can not get the patterns anymore from the FCC website :( ) Thanks
again! 73 Joe Miller, Hemet CA``

It`s licensed as U1 = non-direxional day and night, like all US and
Canadians on 1650. A few X-banders on the coasts get to be direxional
- and Enid`s 1640 to SSE in order to blast into OKC, which makes it
rarely heard in Europe or S Pacific, but should be enhanced into Latin
America (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
