** TURKEY. 9830, Wed July 22 at 2214-2231, VOT `Letterbox`, glad
Emirler manages to be on the air today. I`m listening via UTwente with
a very strong signal, no RTTY there, but quite a big hum on the
carrier. Something is still always erroneous at Emirler.

After complaining it is unusually hot in Ankara, Anatolia, 39-37-36
degrees even tho it snowed last August, host starts with a very
personal item: his longtime friend in Malaysia, he knew for 11 years
there, ethnic Chinese, Tan-Seu-Yung (sp???), 64, altho a non-smoker,
has lung cancer and is in the ICU. Via whatsapp, doctor answered his
call but friend could not respond. Please pray for him. Caused host to
cry which he says he does a lot. This occupied the first 5 minutes.

Then acknowledged letters/reports from: Konstantin Barsenkov in St
Petersburg, Russia; Malaysia; Peshawar, Pakistan; Italy, and host
*sings* bits of two Italian songs from his childhood; south India;
Allan Willie in Newfoundland with a 5-page report; Poland. At
conclusion again asks for (Islamic) prayers for his friend, and also
for himself; ``I love all of you, from my heart.``

I am always pleased when at least one subject on a mailbag show is
known to me; this time, two: also heard directly from Konstantin last
month with a QSL from him since he heard me mention him on WOR; and
Allan Willie, better known as an ace MW DXer.

2231, on to next program, about a monastery, architecture and/or
tourism? Carrier off at 2255* before there can be any extra German.

Who is this host of `Letterbox`, who makes it such a touchingly human
show? Alan Holder upon the Isle of Wight told us all about him last
November: ``I have been corresponding with TRT on and off since 1970.
The current presenter’s name on “Letterbox” is Halibrahim Sarıkaya (no
dot on the ‘i’ – it is pronounced Sarekaya.``

I quoted Alan`s complete opus in my log report of Nov 16-17, 2019,
which among many other places resides here:

** U S A. 15610, July 22 at *1858.6 carrier cuts on from WEWN as I
have been standing by to confirm their other English frequency /
transmitter is also back on air after 9385 appeared last night. But
it`s JBA, can barely perceive any modulation, as propagation is
pitiful today, no sporadic E boost for this, nor 15825 WWCR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, July 21 at 2126, RNA is S8/S9+10 but JBM suptorted
and some squeal. Wake up at the site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming survey, July 22 at 1346-1400: 11460; 11440;

13920; 14850; 14920; 16065?; 16160; 9230 timesignal to 1400* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11628 & 11712 approx., July 22 at 0114, extremely distorted
spurblobs from 11670 RHC; F# tone also audible especially in FM tuning
mode. Plus & minus 42 kHz, but no further multiples noted this time.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1090, July 22 at 0600 UT, another dead-air hole
provided by KAAY Little Rock, facilitating when nulled other hearage.
Filled by music, brief unreadable Spanish announcement, then that song
in English with strumming, morphing from ``Somewhere Over the
Rainbow`` into ``What a Wonderful World``. Lovely, like this by IZ:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z26BvHOD_sg
So I do expect it to be XEAU Monterrey NL, 5/0.5 kW, which is
conveniently close to right angle from KAAY, and could also be source
of the English song last night. A fraxion of Mexistations do
specialize in English music; sure beats TV infomercials. 0605 KAAY
resumes with gospel music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28227.3-CW, July 22 at 1454, beacon VVV VVV DE KC0VDY/B:
``28.2273 KC0VDY C FRUITA, COLORADO 5W New 9 June 2018``
Fruita is just west of Grand Junxion on I-70 near Utah border. QRZ.com
shows:
``KC0VDY USA flag USA, James C Jeffery, Ii, Fruita, CO 81521 USA
I have a 10 Meter beacon that is on 28.2273 MHz running 5 watts
through a vertical antenna. Let me know if you hear it. 73s`` Not as
long as QRZ.com has this restrixion: ``Email: (Ham members only)``

28224.5-CW, July 22 at 1500, beacon K5GJR/B ..., heard before:
``28.2245 K5GJR C CORPUS CHRISTI, TX # 5W, VERTICAL``

29300-CW, July 2 at 1502, K5FRC/B, no further message, just ID like on
13565, which I`ve not heard in quite a while. WJ5O roster has this
rather confusing info as it includes historical/outdated entries:

``28.300 K6FRC/B3 TRACY, CALIFORNIA 10W, VERTICAL QRT prior to 2016
28.300 K6FRC C TRACY, CALIFORNIA # 100W, "POGO stick" VERTICAL Freq
change 8 July 09
28.300 K6FRC/B2 TRACY, CALIFORNIA 10W, VERTICAL Backup transmitter
for K6FRC/B`` --- but no listing for the call I do hear, K6FRC/B.
However most of the hundreds of listees omit the /B which most of them
do transmit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.9v, UT Wed July 22 at 0054 open carrier; 0055 start
``WBCQ The Planet`` ID & IS loop, 0100 music and faux time signal, Hal
Turner theme. Now it`s // 7490+ and 9455 WRMI.

5130.0 is not // the other WBCQs, 0057 music, 0100 `Whiter Shade of
Pale`, 0106 brief talk unreadable, maybe attempt to start `Amateur
Radio Roundtable` as sked, right back to music 0111+; too noisy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 22 at 1400, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is gone again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9385, July 22 at 0116, WEWN English is finally back on after
missing some 18 days, first noted absent July 4. Now it`s S9+20/30,
seems stronger than before, rivalling WBCQ-6 9330, so maybe really
refurbished with more power output.

Back on July 13, frequency manager Glen Tapley had replied to my
inquiry, ``Filament and cable repair. Should be back in a day or
two``. Program now is discussing Planned Parenthood, no doubt
negatively by the Catholix who prefer Random Parenthood, and who cares
about overpopulation, a root cause of many of this world`s problems?
15610, afternoon frequency should also be back at 19-24; did not
notice it in random tuning July 21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 22 at 0124 and 0216 chex, no signal from WRNO,
not unusual, nominally 0100-0400; is it frustrating for transmitters
and receivers or does no one really care? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 21 at 1338-1400, a lot of them
despite using indoor longwire due to storms. Noted S reading for some
of the strongers; many confirmed by //, but some JBA carriers in usual
spots so presumed. Chinese talk at first, later music:

13160, 12880, 12870, 12835, 12500, 12190; 14900, 14850; 16100 JBAC,
16300; 11460 & 11440 S9-S7; 11120, 11070, 10960 JBAC, 10920 S6-S9,
10820 S9/+10; 9230, 9200, 9180; then check inbanders: 11520, 11570,
11580=not synchronized; 11785; 9680, 9660.

At 1428: 15110, 14980, 14690; 13160, 13020; 11550, 11120, 11070; 9180
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11589, 11629, 11711, 11752, 11793 approx., July 21 at 0052,
extremely distorted spurblobs out of RHC 11670 transmitter, at
intervals of ~41-42 kHz, unlike last time, safely further from the
other RHC fundamentals on 11760, 11800. Recheck at 0215 finds the
same, plus maybe trace on 11834. Strangely enough, no acknowledgment
of these bonus frequencies in Arnie`s latest ``official`` RHC
schedule, which also includes several errors we know are untrue.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7350, July 21 at 1334, no signal from RHC despite 1100-1500
schedule; uncomfortable spot, right smack dab amid Radios Martíes &
jamming on 7335 & 7365. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA. 6090, July 21 at 0252 open carrier S9+10/20 but vs HSNL;
0257-0300 plays nice 8?-note chime? interval signal, worth hearing
clearly in a better season or closer pickup, i.e. Radio Amhara; thank
you, PMS for keeping Anguilla off!

Or via the terrific website
http://intervalsignals.net/countries/ethiopia.htm
which has a huge list of clips, three of them naming Amhara, not clear
which one this be --- but none of them will play, all getting error
messages. Has something happened to this site? We haven`t heard from
David Kernick in quite some time. That was on IE, but worx OK on
Firefox. It`s this first one called Amhara Regional Radio, recorded
almost 11 years ago, and with Anguilla in the background:
http://intervalsignals.net/Files/eth-amhara_state_240909.m3u
Unfortunately, frequencies where recorded are not displayed.

BTW, here`s a good article on current situation in Ethiopia, by Ian
Bremmer in the latest issue of TIME:
https://time.com/5864684/ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-hachalu-hundessa/

BTW2, a new season of Bremmer`s Gzero World has just started on PBS:
https://www.gzeromedia.com/gzero-world-with-ian-bremmer/
but so far no sign of it on our OETA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 11560, July 21 at 0213, the wonderful AIR IS is playing,
S6-S8 with flutter, 0215 into unknown language. This transmission is
NOT in Jose Jacob`s latest schedule dated July 20:
https://qsl.net/vu2jos/es/time.htm
so apparently another service just resumed, but what? Original full
B-19 sked in WRTH 2020 showed Pashto at 0215-0300 via Bengaluru.
VU2JOS does show the evening Pushto on same from 1415.

Here`s the same IS, but only once:
http://intervalsignals.net/Files/ind-air_gos_210912.m3u
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-AM, July 21 at 0047, JBA carrier vs HSNL [high
storm noise level], surely not Chile but per
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,69706.0.html
it`s Foxy AM, from 2351 to 0058*, maybe back on later (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW, July 21 at 0623 UT check, NDB PN at Ponca City
is still OFF (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 20 at 2201, no signal from VOT, just NSS RTTY

** U S A. 7730, UT Tue July 21 at 0038-0044, WRMI-13 segment in this
week`s AWR `Wavescan` is tribute to the late Allan Loudell, a
much-liked regular at the SWL Fests and Delaware broadcaster; with
various clips altho we don`t hear much from himself (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5886 & 5894 approx., July 21 at 0210, the WWCR-4 transmitter
on 5890 is flanked by some buzz peaks plus/minus ~4 kHz, maybe passing
on a defect in the program modulation, which at this hour is E. C.
Fulcher, TruthHouse Ministries rather than TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 1090, July 21 at 0601 UT, dead air from KAAY
Little Rock, just like happened months ago night after night, but had
not checked for it lately: automation fails to fill a news-hole.

This makes it easier to DX other 1090 stations, nulling KAAY. I am
expecting XEAU Monterrey NL as used to be primary and may be in mix
now, but also something in English, song refrain, ``No, he`s my
brother``, probably an hymn. Closest other candidates are KMXA Aurora
CO, but is it still ``regional Mexican`` as in radio-locator.com? and
500 watts at night? Or KEXS Excelsior Springs [Kansas City] MO, EWTN
English but zero watts at night? KEXS at 300 miles can make it here in
a quiet daytime. Or??? 0605 gospel music modulation comes back on from
the ESE, LR AR. KAAY may give us more DA chances, also perhaps at
other hourtops (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13972.7-USB, July 21 at 0050, 2-way in Spanish JBA, as
heard on this frequency before lately, a regular?

I wish some Mexican or other Latin American DXers, who could
understand these better and hear them as well or better, would pay
some attention and report what they are talking about, make
assumptions about what kind of unlicensed communications these are ---
but there is CERO interés, AFAIK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Espero que algunos colegas diexistas mexicanos o latinos, capaces de
comprender mejor a lo que digan, y tal vez sintonizar más fuerte,
presten atención a estas emisiones, y nos informen de qué se traten,
suponer de qué tipo sean estos contactos sin licencia; pero me parece
que existe ningún interés en este asunto (Guillermo Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
