** COLOMBIA. 4940, Sept 13 at 0021, JBA direct anonymous missionary
station; from 0117 via Bonaire KiwiSDR: S9 and with typical AMSynch
carrier offset minus 3.2 to 3.5 Hz, usual long-winded gospel huxter in
Spanish citing Isaiah 11, 12. 0120 prayer and cut to produced promo
for ``la película La Montaña, gratis`` via internet, usual URL which
dispenses with ñ for just plain n; song; 0135 same promo again; 0320
recheck weakened to S5-S7, preacher in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-USB, Sept 13 at 0024, pirate rock music S5-S6;
I`m mostly monitoring on the backup PL-880 with reelout while
bandscanning on the JRC, and DJ keeps interjecting brief comments the
starts of which I miss until retuned on main rx. 0028 says the tune is
one he has not heard before. 0034 refers to music from years 1974 &
1975; 0045 another break with Morse code; 0047 sudden CW mixing with
music, partially copied as WDOG. 0048 weaker with voice ID? 0052 wild
SFX; 0100 SynthYL ID over music sounds like ``Radio Station E-X-P``.

Many other logs of WDOG, but none with CW IDs, nor EXP as I heard:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Area tropo levels 1-2 and barely 3 over
northern OK per Hepburn maps predicted for 1500 UT September 13, so
UHF/VHF bandscan via my still-broken antenna from 1507 finds the
following situation, by RF channels only:

OKC channels no good due to DX QRM: 33, 29, 27, 23, 18, 15, 13, 7
BAD DX signals only, not decoding: 36, 35, 32, 30, 26, 21, 11, 10, 9
DX decodes: Tulsa mkt 34, 28, 22, 20; Wichita tho beyond map area: 31
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2051 monitoring: confirmed Sat Sept
12 at 1932 UT on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, VG S9+10 at the
KiwiSDR nearby in Warrenton, about 2 minutes into, so started circa
nominal 1930.

Also confirmed Sat Sept 12 at 2323 the 2300 on WRMI 7780, poor S8-9
here.

Also confirmed via Warrenton SDR, UT Sun Sept 13 at 0322 on WA0RCR,
1860-AM, about 3 minutes into so started circa 0319. But ending at
0347.6. Altho originally 29.0 minutes long, timing is skewed by
removal of most of my opening due to music banned from ham, but WA0RCR
IDs inserted every dekaminute. Next:

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 13 at 0019, WTWW-2 with TONITO already
underway but undermodulated, distorted despite usual very strong
signal, so unlistenable. Not near computer so not switching to $ tereo
webfeed; probably a rerun anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9840, Sun Sept 13 at 1357, JBA carrier so I
measure to determine if it`s still off-frequency-minus VOV scheduled
until 1530? No, 9840.004, finished measuring just in time when bigsig
from WHRI cuts on with no ID. The JBA one was probably Turkey
scheduled here before and after 1400; per Aoki/NDXC, WHRI weekends
only, supposed to be on Sundays from 1200 until off at 1400, while
Saturdays extended until 1600; not so (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1360, UT Sun Sept 13 at 0620 I`m trying for WNJC DX test on
the second night, by tuning to 1361.0-USB in case I can detect some of
the non-vocal SFX, and maybe I get a bit: 0623.7 JBA sweep tones
briefly; 0631.7 continuous tone; 0658 one ``V`` in Morse as known to
introduce the CW IDs; was it cut off? Do these match exact timings as
heard by others or logged by station?

FCC AM Query shows day pattern with one major lobe centered at 155
degrees --- not good for most of us.

presumed likely sources this late: 936-Morocco, 846-Kiritimati,
684-Spain, 711-Morocco, 621-Canaries, 1107-Spain. BTW, it`s neat to be
getting at same time on MW both Xmas Island and Agadir, Morocco, which
are this far apart: 15051 km = 9352 statute miles = 8127 nautical
miles.. The direct GC path between them passes over California, Salt

** ALGERIA. 891, Sept 12 at 0421, big het upon WLS 890, and can barely
separate a bit of audio, presumed this usual bigsig from RTA, and
setting me off on a complete TA bandscan, see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Sept 12 at 1825, and a couple hours
earlier, no signal at Brasil remote from LRA-36 nor any expected this

COVID-19 PSA. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 774, Sept 12 from 1139: first check as always of 774, on the
PL-880 finds a considerable carrier from the NW, no doubt NHK, so
worth a complete bandscan on the R75 with E-W longwire before going
back to sleep: there is some audio on both 774 and 747 from NHK2 500
kW superpowers, JOUB Akita and JOIB Sapporo, respectively, which may
be decommissioned next year; at first seem Japanese, but careful,
these include various language lessons. At 1159 I`m back on 774 but
cannot make out any distinctive 1200 timesignal. At 1207, 747 still
audible with talk; sunrise here today 1212 UT. See UNIDENTIFIED for
more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 684, Sept 12 at 0424, among numerous TA carriers, two are
beating here with some music audio, presumed RNE as usual (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2051 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
Sept 12 at 1148 the 1130 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 over some jamming
audible. Several weeks ago this was replaced by a gospel huxter
scheduled for same time on Sunday, and believe it happened more than
once, so I gave up on this airing and removed it from my schedules,
despite its remaining on the WRMI skedgrid. Let`s hope it stix now.

** U S A. 7570 // << 7730, Sept 12 at 1437, extended Sabbathday TOMBS

the one closest to our direxion and normally stronger (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1360, Sept 12 at 0357 UT standing by for the much heralded 6
hour DX test from WNJC, Washington Twp., NJ, wherever that is; address
is in Sewell, which is about 10 miles south of Camden, on Egg Harbor
Road, but that`s nowhere near Sewell. Egg Harbor strangely enough is
not on the coast but about 15 miles inland from Atlantic City on the
Expwy. Would you believe that there are five different Wash Twps in
NJ, each in a different county?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Township,_New_Jersey

Washington Township, Bergen County, New Jersey
Washington Township, Burlington County, New Jersey
Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey
Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey
Washington Township, Warren County, New Jersey

Gloucester County is the one inhabited by Sewell. and that`s the one
just south of Camden, i.e. Philadelphia PA.

Quite a pileup of signals, almost like a graveyard. Coverage maps show
1360 crammed with stations east of the Mississippi, but rather sparse
to the west, yet with three in relatively small Iowa. None in OK, the
nearest to us KPHN EWTN El Dorado KS, barely audible daytime. NRC AM
log has a total of 61 USA on 1360, even a second one in NJ,
Newton/Paterson.

One signal slightly above the others mentions Iowa, and at 0400 ID for
KSCJ Sioux City 1360 and FM. It`s U2 5/5 kW supposedly with a notch
null thisaway in a 4-way narrow X pattern. No sign of CW or other DX
test sounds thru the KSCJ net news until 0404; rechex at 0541 and 0627
also fruitless. Longer listening periods are required, and there will
be another six hours UT Sunday at 0400-1000, with greater power. I
wonder how far west WNJC made it? James Niven near Austin TX, got it
by recording and then reviewing the first hour, 2296 km away vs only
2019 for me. East? Arctic Norway but that`s to a super-DXing setup.
I`m on the R75 with E-W 100-ft longwire which should favor NJ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 12 from 0421,
since I am not getting merely WNJC 1360 DX test; starting with a big
het upon WLS 890, from 891, no doubt Algeria with traces of audio. On
the R75 with E-W longwire. Then at 9 kHz intervals stepping 1 kHz
below each TA channel, some of them with a beat from at least (2)
signals:

531, 558(2), 567, 576, 585, 603(2), [not 621], 639(2), 657, *684(2),
693, 729, 774(2), 837, 855(2), 882, *891, 909, 936(2), 999(2), 1017,
1026?, 1044, 1053*, 1089, 1107(2), 1125, 1152, 1215, 1305(2), 1566,
1575; and no doubt domestic, 1710(2). *are strongest ones and with
audio separately entered under SPAIN, as well as ALGERIA (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 12 from 1139:
first check as always of 774, on the PL-880 finds a considerable
carrier from the NW, no doubt NHK, so worth a complete bandscan on the
R75 with E-W longwire before going back to sleep: there is some audio
on both 774 and 747 from NHK2 superpowers which may be decommissioned
next year, at first seems Japanese, but careful, these include various
language lessons. Also carriers: 828, 891(2), 972, 1053, 1107, 1566.

>From 1205 another 9-kHz bandscan, axually tuning downward: 567, 657,
693, 747, 774, 828(2), 873. Sunrise here: 1212 UT. I wonder what the
other 828 is besides JOBB Osaka? There`s a 50 kW in Beijing and
several lesser/further Chinese; and 50 kW in Vietnam. See also JAPAN.

This correlates with simulmonitoring by my neighbor, as to IRCA:

`Oklahoma TP DX 9/12/20 Richard Allen 5:49am #11529
The best morning of the new TP DX season thus far (LSR 1210),
594 JOAK poor at 1205.
747 JOIB good at 1200-1157 (audible on barefoot ULR)
774 JOUB fair-to-good at 1212-1158 with severe QRM from nearby
KSPI-780.
828 JOBB good-to-fair at 1155-1204.
873 JOGB fair at 1152; poor at 1208.
972 HLCA good at 1151 (audible on barefoot ULR).

If I understand this correctly, and this is based on remote SDR use, a few things need to be said as regards 
using those for a reporting tool:
1.   As a programmer, I use remote websdr monitoring myself to supplement reception reports from listeners, but I am also very much aware of their limitations - they are not magical and are subject to some of the same localized issues as regular radios at times.   For example, I have had occasions when something sounds like mush on one of the best and most popular web sdrs, UTwente, while up the road in the Netherlands and Belgium, things are just fine.  Doesn't happen often, but it happens.  And there are a few web SDRs I will not name in other countries that are consistently as useless for the frequencies I want as badly configured terrestrial radio-antenna combinations.  Not everyone minds the store on these, nor do they have any obligation to do so.  Long story short, while the presence of a listenable signal confirms that a broadcast is receivable in a place, the absence of it on a web SDR is NOT conclusive proof that the signal is not.   Evidence, yes, but not proof. 
2.   For the US specifically, the US is a big place.  Even in the "golden days", signals receivable in New England were not necessarily good in Florida or vice versa.   In order to be of any use at all, reports using websdrs in the US especially  really need to specify which SDRs in which states.  This is true for any country but especially so for big ones.    Even with that, the fact that something is not tracking in New York City does not mean that it is unreceivable in upstate New York.   Again, these are useful to confirm presence but not necessarily conclusive for absence - the latter takes time and diligence and ideally reports from scattered monitors on the ground.  

I'm not trying to be critical here, but I am seeing websdr reports turn up more frequently.   These can be useful if and only if their limitations are remembered and accounted for when using them to make observations.
