** CANADA [non]. 7488.871, July 2 at 0200, ``Canada D`Eh`` special by
Uncle Bill and Fred Waterer on WBCQ, a fun show of comedy and tunes; I
listen first on the `7490` webcast but it craps out at 0217 so I
hasten to Area 51 webcast, but it`s some other music! The special was
supposed to be on both 7490 & 6160. Then I bring up the Maryland SDR
to find that 6160 is not even on the air, but it`s getting 7490. A few
minutes later I can go back to the 7490 webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, July 1 at 0546, RHC in Spanish instead of English and
no humbuzz! So that`s what it takes. What else? 6000 & 6165 are good
in English; 6100 is off; and 5040 is also in Spanish. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11462, Thu July 1 at 0550, S9/+10 of open carrier. Looks like
I just missed a spy transmission, per EiBi at 0454-0550 on days 246 =
TueThuSat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13705, July 1 at 1422, no VOA beepery today, unlike the last
biday before 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2092 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu
July 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+10 off the back into Maryland SDR but
with some storm crashes; and a bit of reverb on the modulation, an
effect not usually heard on WOR and certainly not originally.

First broadcasts confirmed UT Friday July 2 at 0130 on WRMIs direct:
7780 S9/+10 and 5850 S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, various chex June 30, July 1 at 1420 & 1707 and early
UT July 2 at 0128 find no signals from WBCQ SuperStation. Wonder
what`s wrong now? Meanwhile, Benn Kobb has unearthed some buried but
public documents from the FCC website about the delay in approving
WBCQ purchase of WHRI; Allan`s sister Barbara objects, saying he is
``fronting`` for that Egyptian billionaire behind World`s Last Chance
Radio, who of course could not own US radio stations outright. His
name is redacted but obviously Galal P. Doss (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15745-USB, July 1 at 1608, rough tone transmission with
multiple carrier peaks, a different sound than usual from the lower
half of the WINB hybrid DRM on ``15750``. Maybe that means it is just
idling rather than crypto stocktrading info. Off by 1706 check (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 1 at 0611, no signal from R Vanuatu, nor was
any detectable a few minutes before 0559 on 7260. Ron Howard agrees:

``Radio Vanuatu. Recently had been silent for about three days, then
back on for a few days, but checking July 1, from 0530+ UT, till past
0845, on all the normal RV frequencies, found them clearly off the air
today. Cuba (5040) went off at 0659*. RV certainly has been erratic
recently, with technical difficulties? Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, June 30 at 1445 tune-in via Brasília
remote, LRA36 is on again this Wednesday, only S2. There are very
frequent canned IDs and mostly music. 1447.5 LRA36 ID. 1508 NAA ID =
``Nacional Antártida Argentina``. 1511.5 LRA36. 1516.7 NLRP ID =
``Nacional, La Radio Pública``, now up to S2-S3. 1527 closing
announcement: ``todo por hoy; nos despedimos`` and Antártida song
until 1530.5.

BUT it does NOT go off, soon starts more music! 1540.8 LRA36 ID. 1544
NLRP ID and talk for a while, JBA. 1552 music. 1601.7 LRA36 ID, music.
1608 NLRP ID, music, 1617 talk. 1618 NAA and LRP IDs. 1619 15476
mentioned. 1624 ``NAA, En Todo el País, LRP`` ID, music. 1627 mentions
Base Esperanza. 1630 music. 1636 stops and off without closing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13762 & 13638 approx., June 30 at 1435, weak F# FMish
spurblobs plus & minus 62 kHz out of 13700-AM; something`s always
wrong at RHC. And again with beepery adjacent on 13705, see USA!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. In the British DX Club, Peter Jones reported June 30:
``Radio Cairo English back on?? I had an email from Radio Cairo today
(I was asking about the possibility of returning to Shortwave), and
apparently the live streaming is now working (not sure how long this
has been the case).
https://www.onlinehorizons.net/livestreaming3/Player/NS/EN_EUR.html
2115 UT with the link. I will listen in.``

So will I: First feature on webcast lasts only a few minutes; bit of
music and then another, with modulation widely variable. I heard a bit
of English and then music on that link at 2117; 2120 resume talk
presenting ``Features, a new feature each day`` about an Olympic
swimmer. Buzz on modulation. 2131 timesignal and `News in Brief`,
one-liner headlines, including heat wave in SW Canada, so appears to
be current. 2133 ``presents: This week in History``. What about SW?
9720 is the imaginary A-21 frequency for 2115-2245 English per WRTH
Update. Nothing there via UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13705, June 30 at 1435, beepery again adjacent to 13700 RHC.
At 1443, I ask for help on the WOR iog:

``Again today at 1435 I have some kind of beepery on 13705 just above
weaker RHC. Could anyone identify what kind of transmission this is,
decode or even identify it? Glenn``. Walt Salmaniw, BC, replies:

``Glenn, it's the VOA! Here's what I decoded in MFSK32 at 14:59 from
Victoria, best on 13705 LSB (using FLdigi):

`Gracias por recibir y decodificar este texto por radio de la Voz de
América. ϵbnd
Envíe su informe de recepción a mdail@usagm.gov
Please send your reception report to mdail@usagm.gov`

OK, now to figure out from where? 73, Walt``

this? Glenn``

``I read about an unknown transmission on 13705 using a digital mode.
This morning, just before 15:00 UTC, I quickly tuned to the channel
and was able to decode the following using FLDigi software. I'm
located in Victoria, BC, Canada and used a Perseus SDR radio, and a
Flag antenna. I'd appreciate information on where this transmission
originates, the power, antenna azimuth, and purpose of the
transmission. I recall the old VOA Radiogram show from years ago from
Kim Elliott. Many thanks! Walter Salmaniw MD`` Reply:

``Hi Walter, Thank you for inquiring about our transmission. This was
just a generic test transmission using the familiar Radiogram format.
The transmitter power was about 70 kW. If you would like a QSL card, I
would be glad to send one to you.

``OC after 15:00 and carrier cut about 1502:30. Pretty much confirms
Greenville, Glenn. Note that Kim Elliott is included in the
response! Cheers! Walt``

Still questionable is how this was mixed up with RHC audio yesterday,
and why VOA happened to pick such an adjacent frequency? (Glenn
Hauser, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2092 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday June 30 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, S7-S8 into Maryland SDR; and
19 seconds later on WBCQ 7488.882, S9 to same SDR, showing minus 118
Hz carrier offset.

NOT confirmed Wed May 30 at 2200 on WRMI 9955! Another cancellation
without notice; still on skedgrid but instead some gospel huxter in
Spanish. Next, and last:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

New WOR 2093 should be ready by early UT Friday July 2 at 0130 on
WRMIs 5850 & 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15329.23-USB approx., June 30 at 0123, weak 2-way
INTRUDERS in colloquial Spanish, very difficult to pinpoint with very
brief interchanges, the stronger one with ``engine noise``. Hey, who
would notice, right smack dab in the middle of an almost vacant
broadcast band? Cambio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
