Hauser
** CANADA. Richard LaCroix, ODXA, replies to my obs that Trenton
Military has been missing from VOLMET on 6754 USB and 15034 USB, but
there is another 2-way frequency:

``Glenn, 11232 is in fact busy. This is the Canadian Forces Military
Aeronautical Communications System (MACS).
Further information can be found here:
Military Aeronautical Communications System (MACS) Trenton
http://www.milspec.ca/canforce/facilities/macs/macs-trenton.html

You can find my MACS logs at the following URL:
Trenton Military General Log
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,114462.0.html

As for the VOLMET station, still to be determined. I contacted a work
colleague back on June 1st with regards to the clock being wrong (in
EDT vice ZULU time zone) with no response. Nature of the military, the
member may have been posted out, on leave or retired`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 21490, Aug 4 at 2319, Chinese S1/S4, i.e. CNR1 jammer vs
Sound of Hope. Would be OSOB if it were not for another much weaker
one on 21800, so it`s the SSOB. Nothing else on 13m (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, August 4 at 0633, mushy mess here, presumably RHC,
rather than extension on 11670 or 11760 as often happens. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. Checking on the DX-398 with clipon, since main rx
R75 had been off and now requires about 23 minutes to warm up for
normal modulation output (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9439.995, August 4 at *2115, R. Cairo cuts on,
S9+35/45 into UTwente, undermodulated but what English? remains is
extremely distorted. Not paying much attn but at 2130 notice it`s off
the air: good! But *2132 back on the air. 2135* off again, back and
forth, then mostly off. Something`s always egregious in Egypt.

Meanwhile this Friday hour, I`m mainly listening to `Behavior Night`
on WBCQ webcast with incomparably higher fi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA [non]. 7290, August 4 at 1025, JBA carrier, presumably
CNR1 which starts at 1000. When I happened to upwake, first checking
for RRI Nabire, which I never hear earlier before bedtime on its
limited sked, but now it`s too late. Would you believe that Aoki has
no entry for it at all, despite Ron Howard`s very frequent logs of
it?? EiBi shows two irr. spans, 0600-0940 & 0940-1100, but Ron never
reports it before 0800. Best chance would be during 09-10 hour when
even a JBA carrier could be confirmed by its always-minus offset.

Ron`s latest log: ``7289.93, RRI Nabire Pro 1, 0825 till cut off at
0915* UT, July 28. The usual EZL music/songs/announcers/Islamic
Shalawat Tarhim prayer/Maghrib (sunset) call-to-prayer. A good day
here with decent reception.`` Dene Lynneberg in NZ DX Times had it 26
July at 0804-1000 via South Australia remote on 7289.95.

HFCC A23 is even more misleading, showing 7290, 1 kW ND from NAB at
05-08 & 23-02, in ENGLISH! The only others remaining, 3325 & 4750 are
also in ``Eng``. For years HFCC kept listing defunct RRI regional
tropicals as in English: at least those have been outweeded (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, August 4 at 0631, RNZP is back here as expected
after testing 24 hours ago on 9655 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6200, Aug 4 at 0639, JBA carrier into DX-398,
presumably pirate in SW USA, R. Vostochnaya Zvezda. So far I have had
nothing better from it here ex-7400, but Ron Howard reported, as
partially quoted on WORLD OF RADIO 2202:

``NORTH AMERICA. 6200 AM, Russian ethnic pirate Radio Channel Eastern
Star/Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda, 0846-0935 UT, Aug 3; clear boost in
power; mostly Russian ballads, with announcers in Russian and English
("Next song is . . . Thank you"); I check here regularly and had not
detected any signal recently. Nice to have stronger signal, but
unfortunately today I also noticed extremely strong summertime QRN
(static). In fact the worst I have heard all this year, but the signal
was cutting through the static fairly well, per attached brief audio.

Thanks very much for the quick (1915 UT Aug 3) reply to my report:

"Thank you so much for listening! Yes looks like a strong signal. I
can't wait to see what it will be like in the winter. I have made a
small adjustment and the power output will be even higher tonight.
Running class E, about 70 watts carrier can go up to 100 watts carrier
400 PEP but the modulator cannot handle it. It is already hot hot,
however the output final is only warm to the touch. I added cooling to
it and it is doing very well. The new board from China I designed on
JLCPCB has come as you can tell, hence the stronger signal :)
Everything is going hand in hand with my math now. It looks like there
is only some little error due to changes in temperature and so on,
that is perfect for this purpose though. I am running more power than
I have ever before on shortwave. Even when I had the Ameritron. Keep
your eyes peeled, I might be doing some SSTV soon. That will be when I
have a very strong signal. I will be adding a handful of new songs
soon too. Also that name change is still coming up. Best regards and
good luck dxing!"`` via Ron Howard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Aug 4 at 2324, steady S9 open carrier from
some local CBer on what should be a busy calling channel. Also a day
or two ago; could be keyed down 24/7. Why not relay a local FM station
as before? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 4775, August 4 at 1027, JBA music vs CODAR. Since
turning it on at 0630 just before bedtime I let the R75 run until I
happen to awaken, for a quick bandscan. This must have been R. Tarma,
which I don`t hear during my usual listening spans. By this time, also
carrier on 4940 presumably Colombizuela, but 4885 Brasil already
outfaded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 4 at 2200, token English from SNR is still in
summer mode, i.e. nothing is happening in Spain, so no news and no one
present, just playing back canned stuff, this time a Feb interview
about some play I`m sure I have never seen and never shall. At least
the other three frequencies are also running, in quick check via
Maryland SDR. Since there are at least 3? people in the English
department now, why don`t they take turns going on vacation so normal
current programming can continue? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.006, Aug 4, VOT cuts on a few sex after 2200 with
dead air, off* a minute later. Fails to stay on with English. Would
have been good signal via UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2202 monitoring:
9955, Friday August 4 at 1430, after ID, WRMI plays RAE
Argentina To The World multi-lingual ID reel four or five times,
finally 1433 starts RAE in French; strange accent so I do not
recognize language at first. Unclear why a few weeks ago this suddenly
replaced what had been the earliest weekly WORLD OF RADIO airing,
which still appears on WRMI websked along with another imaginary one
on 9955, Saturday at 1930. And on the contrary I see WOR is no longer
shown Sunday at 1330 on 9955, so does that mean it *is* on?

Confirmed Friday August 4 at 2049 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz Villa Estense, and still no // on 918 or 207 kHz; S9+10 into
nearby Noale SDR with lite CCI but considerable storm crashing around
Italy and Slovenia. ``Sign off`` at 2059, then stays on with FSNews as
usual. Next:

** U S A. 98.3, August 4 at 2038-2042+ UT, deadair in mono from KZQZ
Kiowa KS, only thing of note during perfunctory bandscan twice of
caradio when MUF was not exceeding 88 MHz around here. Still dead at
2310 recheck. Surely is $ tereo when musicking? Another station where
nohuman is paying any attention to its own output.

Speaking of Kiowa, whatever became of Dr Scott Becker, onetime partner
of Allan Weiner at WBCQ? Several years ago he became a nonentity, not
even mentioned now anywhere on website. He did own a restaurant in
Kiowa, and he had a ham call which no longer exists, KB5MDH:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** URUGUAY. 21250 USB, Aug 4 at 2320, CX4RT trying to contact some N2s
in New York, but can`t copy their calls; QRZ? The OSOB here as I don`t
hear them either; also no ham activity on 24 or 28 MHz bands.

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 3 at 0635, RHC Spanish extension, S9+10/20 with
sidespurs peaking about plus/minus 2.5 kHz but audible further out.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9655, Thu Aug 3 at 0629, BBC news relay finishing, RNZ
ID and into their own ``news at 6:30``. Surprise bigsig S9+10/20. Good
they are avoiding 9700 due to Cuba, Romania, Turkey. No signal on
11725 so moved? Or could be test as first Wed/Thu of month is
maintenance day. Earlier at 0604 John Hudak reported to ODXA:

``I heard Radio New Zealand on 6095 kHz this morning at 0540 UT (Aug.
3) with a fair signal. News items in English with a couple of definite
RNZ idents. They abruptly went off at 0543 in mid sentence but then
the carrier came back on a few times, and then nothing more. Could
this have been a program feed error to a wrong transmitter? Is 6095
even a frequency used by RNZ? I don't see it listed on their web page.
John Dundas, ON``

Neither 9655 nor 6095 on websked, so probably back to formers, but
could change at any time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2202)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2201 monitoring. NOT confirmed UT
Thursday August 3 at 0030 or 0130 on WRMI 9395, because it`s still off
the air. Finally posted on disgraced FB of WRMI around same time:
``We are experiencing a major technical problem with our transmitter
on 9395 kHz, so this frequency is currently off the air. We may be
able to repair the problem as soon as tomorrow, so stay tuned.`` In
fact, 9395 was back on the air by 2300 UT check August 3.

Confirmed UT Thursday August 3 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, JBA direct in
HSNL; at 0145 good S9/+10 into Bonaire SDR.

** CANADA. Further random check of 6754 USB during the night of August
1 UT, and of 15034 USB during the following day have not found any
signals from CHR, Trenton Military VOLMET. Nor on August 2. EiBi shows
one more Trenton frequency, 11232, not VOLMET but presumably for 2-way
contacts; anything there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, August 2 at 0629, RHC Spanish prolongation here
tonight, S9+20 and good modulation for a change, no spurs either.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440.004, August 2 at 2155, R. Cairo horribly distorted
English, first reading by UTwente, maybe synching on a mod peak other
than carrier center, then settling on usual 9439.995 at S9+20/40;
totally unlistenable. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, August 2 from a few sex past *1500 open
carrier on, S6/S9 direct; finally at 1502 English ID as VOMK,
undermodulated; 1503+ switch to YL in presumed Dhivehi with better
modulation. This is totally normal daily reception despite target
opposite side of globe; and K-index at 15 is 4, which should be
disturbing high-latitude paths. 1529 quick ID and s/off in English
before 1530*. For over a year this has been listed as Uzbekistan site
and some accept that, but I do not. Tashkent does not provide such
good reliable reception here for any other broadcast, and V. of
Martyrs Korea will not disclose true site for some reason. Reasonable
guesses are Taiwan or Reach Beyond Australia, which carries some other
VOMK broadcasts. In fact, the latest WRTH update of August 1 now shows
under Korea South, 11630knx for this, i.e. Kununurra, Australia. It`s
still missing from HFCC; Aoki says Tashkent, and EiBi as clandestine,
/XUU = unknown. TDoA direxion-finding in past sometimes pointed to one
or the other, but is extremely unreliable. At 1525 I decide to try it
again, while hearing it well via Western Australia KiwiSDR: picking 3
sites: Hanoi, Qatar and South Africa. It runs and comes up with ``most
likely`` 12.00 S, 18.00 E, i.e. Kuemba, ANGOLA. Yeah, surely not. And
what are the chances of a true reading landing on exact .00
coördinates? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. Large tropo blob to the east of Enid, August 2
at 0456 UT when I start checking. BAD signals on RF: 7, 9, 11, 14, 16,
17, 18, 24, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36. Note that 7, 18, 24 and 29 are major
`local` OKC signals which must be disrupted by DX QRM: extremely
unusual especially for KOKH 24, probably by KFSM Fort Smith? No, KFSM
is on both low-power 24 and high-power 18. 16 KOCM is normally on the
BAD side. 17 is also Enid`s only local: can`t be sure whether it`s off
or QRMed, but next morning it`s normal. Only decodes around 0500:

RF 31, KOET 3-1 = OETA Eufaula
RF 20, KQCW 19-1 for Tulsa
RF 21, KHBS-DT 40-1 Fort Smith AR from OK site, so explore all subs:
40-2 ARK-CW, 40-3 MeTV-AR, 40-4 STORY. These match rabbitears listings
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wednesday August 2 at 2200, token English from SNR:
VG into Maryland SDR, but part 2 about famous football players, no
news. Geez, isn`t anything significant happening in Spain? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 2 at 2200, VOT English VG into UTwente and
sufficient direct, even good modulation, usual features but am dozing
thru most of it, having missed naptime earler this afternoon. Off
before 2300 (Glenn Hauser, 104F OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2201 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.
Dear Glenn: Confirming World of Radio #2201, notes, loggings, 9395
kHz, rough conditions hearing sometimes no signal on 9395 kHz, solar
blackout, WRMI: 9395, static in area, QRN, 0031, 0045, 0054 (45343),
0059, 0130, August 1 UTC 2023. 73’s, Richard``

NOT confirmed Tuesday August 1 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, because it`s OFF
the air! 9455 & 9955 are on as normal. 9395 is still off at 0639 and
1459 chex August 2. Wonder what`s wrong; it`s a major WOR frequency.
Still off at 2355 August 2; nothing about this on disgraced FB of
WRMI.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 2 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -72 Hz =
7489.928, S5/S7 into Maryland SDR. Next, maybe:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update

Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Australia - Unique R: added entries for frequencies and programmes
2) Israel - KAN: Updated entry for KAN English news (Thanks to Daniel
Rosenzweig)
3) USA - KVOH: Deleted entries for schedules and live streams as all
have been discontinued

The next update is scheduled for early September. Best wishes and 73,
Alan Roe

** CUBA. 11670, August 1 at 0646, tonight`s extra RHC, Spanish,
S9+10/20 and undermodulated; also with squeal and dirty spurs about
plus/minus 3 kHz. Same symptom I logged July 29 at 0704 on 11760.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, August 1 at 2139 check via UTwente, R. Cairo is on
at S9+35/40 with extremely distorted and undermodulated music during
``English`` sesquihour. Something`s always egregious in Egypt, abysmal
at Abis. WRTH shows 2 x 125 kW at Abis only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17450.002, August 1 at 1546, S7/S9 into UTwente,
ME music. 1550 there is slightly offset CW QRM, mainly sending
numbers. Now there are two stations making fast SAH, one talking and
one musicking; obviously Dengê Welat and Recep`s jammer. Later by 1615
the additional warbling QRM is like fast RTTY.

Why doesn`t D.W. move away? Perhaps the jamming be not nearly so
effective as it seem from afar. Basic propagation tells us that the
higher the frequency, the further the skip zone. Uzbekistan to
Kurdistanish Turkey may be optimum, while Emirler as a jamming source
in central Turkey may be way too close, but makes Recep feel good, at
least trying to censor it. Emirler to Diyarbakir is 785 km = 488
miles, per distancefromto.net which pinpoints Emirler considerably NW
of Ankara near the Black Sea cost, and Bolu, Duzce, Karabuk --- but
WRTH 2023 map page 57 nestles Emirler right close to Ankara, just to
the south of the capital. Ankara/Diyarbakir: 674 km = 419 miles, even
worse.

Of course it would require constant monitoring by D.W. PKK HQ,
wherever that may be, Belgium per page 673 or WRTH 2023; which also
asserted the 11 and 7 MHz frequencies were via Bulgaria; and constant
contact with the ops in Tashkent effectively to jump around mousily vs
the cattily Turx, but they have done so in the past.

I am checking this after hearing nothing in the 17450-17495 range
direct, nor had noticed anything for several days at random tunethrus,
so could D.W. have made a total frequency change, even to a different
band? Apparently not, but direct propagation from Uzbekistan, even
Turkey has been degraded.

Still clashing past 1800, jamusic generally atop. At 1810, UTwente
displays as 17450.010. By 1847 the rapid rippling SAH is even more
severe, indicating both signals strong and near equal level. At 1921
again with RTTY warble QRM too. Still past 2000.

At 2003 I check direct: two JBA carriers approx. 17450.15 and 17450.26
-- maybe that`s the RTTY transmitter. On UTwente at 2050 now there is
only one VG signal with singing, presumably the jammer, on 17450.002.
By now D.W. may have closed or faded out near midnight. Still no other
signals up to 17500. Still VG music on 17450 past 2137.

At 2158 I make a quick switch to 11785 for VOT English. Cuts on
shortly after 2200 for a few sex without modulation, then off again.
At 2203 I go back to 17450 and find it`s finally off, just the warble
QRM. At 2205 I go back on 11785.008 and find it`s back on to stay amid
news in English, S9+20. I would not be surprised if it`s the very same
transmitter tho can`t be certain on a single receiver whether they
overlapped. For B22 WRTH 2023 showed DW until 2200*, but version 17
Aug 1 of the A23 updater shows 17460v until 2100*.

I`ve been on UTwente continuously for over 6 hours. It`s a great
resource, huge capacity so you can always get on, and no timeouts

** U S A. 15610, August 1 at 2006, RCC talk, S5/S6 direct; 2019 EWTN
ID in passing -- so ``more Catholic than the Pope`` WEWN English is
definitely back, gone since last summer. Still registered for entire
A23 at 19-24 UT, 250 kW at 85 degrees. What about at other hours? Was
9385 at 00-09, but IIRC was different transmitter and crashed even
before 15610. And 9470 at 09-13, even rarer if ever. Before that,
15610 also ran 1300-1900, not this morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
