** ALGERIA [and non]. My cardio tunes only in 10-kHz steps, so no
serious TA/TP DXing, but certain frequencies suffer 1-kHz hets, from
obvious sources, Feb 18 at 0045 UT: 530, 550, 890: Algeria on 531,
549, 891; and 1000: from 999 likely Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 388-MCW kHz, Feb 18 at 0730 UT, dash and MM, 500-watt ND
Beacon at Fort McMurray, Alberta. It`s a surprisingly large town, so
far into the sub-Arctic northeast outback, over 66K population; due to
the oil boom, but on the decline since a fire. 2475 km from here =
1538 statute miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15369.2, Feb 18 at 2307, JBA carrier, day 8 for RHC
off-frequency, but bad propagation; MUF must be about 13 MHz, as 13740
is also JBA carrier, yet undermodulated 11850 and distorted 11760 and
Portuguese 11700 are at normal biglevels. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Feb 18 at 0711, Roboyl with marine weather
in English, too weak vs noise level, once again before any are
scheduled on the CCG site, VCP Placentia via St. Lawrence not until
*0737 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Monday afternoon Feb 17 at 1930-1940 UT, while
finding nothing interesting on parked caradio MW bandscan, I decide to
check how many stations are overtly anti-American, broadcasting that
despicable hate-monger and stupid cigar-smoker Rush Limbaugh; no IDs
but I will add obvious connexions: 710-KGNC, 740-KRMG, 820-WBAP,
960-KGWA, 1000-KTOK, 1030-KBUF or KFAY JBA, 1150-KSAL, 1230-WBBZ,
1290-KWFS, 1330-KNSS. Only ten! Could be worse if he were on at night;
when C2CAM can be found all over the dial, seldom synchronized, plus
SW 6070 CFRX (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PERU. 5980, Feb 18 at 2351, JBA carrier from Radio Chaski vs
wall-of-noise Cuban jamming not against any Marti at this hour, until
autocutoff at 2352:40*, which is 10.5 seconds earlier than last check
5 days ago, Feb 13 until 2350.5*, i.e. averaging 2.1 seconds earlier
each night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 18 at 2301 and still 2344, no signal from VOT
English to us; something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 7290-LSB, Feb 18 at 1940, the ``72-90 Traffic
Net`` based in TX but also check-ins from OK; vs a constant AM carrier
but too weak to copy even on USB-only, presumably IRRS via Saftica,
Romania; which via UTwente is inboooming with `Wavescan` Tuesday at
1930, like WOR Mondays at 1901 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, Feb 17 at 1933, SMTV via WRMI, and SMTV via WRMI
echoing one second later, double-audio feed, which has happened
before; makes it even more unlistenable than usual --- obviously
nohuman at Okeechobee nor SMTV HQ is monitoring the final output
product. So why should we? *Still* echoing a dodekahour later, Feb 18 at 0723 but now about 8
seconds delayed --- hard to track with all the self-QRM, at close to
same modulation level. *Still* echoing exactly 24 hours after first noted, Feb 18 at 1934 on
15770, even harder to outfigure until 1943 I upbring a bettersig via
UTwente, about 18 seconds apart! Just as they are reciting their
extensive schedule mentioning 15770 to Africa(? not Europe?). How can a worldwide multi-platform broadcast make itself so boring?
The basic ethos of animal rights and vegan diets should go over well
with the enlightened, but multi-lingual bits on no reliable pattern,
often heavily accented when in English, and cultish devotion to their
Supreme Master are major turn-offs. I can`t remember anyone ever
submitting a monitoring report of SMTV dealing with its content over
any significant span. Kai Ludwig has pointed out this in Wikipedia: ``Apparently "religious
broadcasting worldwide" would be a subject worth professional research
again, after three decades have passed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ching_Hai_(spiritual_leader)
Already a number of interesting-looking references in hobby research
on this Taiwan-based cult`` Believe it or not, SMTV is mentioned only once in passing on that
page, as if it`s an insignificant part of her empire. And there are 63
footnote reference linx, many in Chinese, not Vietnamese. By 2034 Feb 18, I am on the caradio like 25 hours earlier, where I get
much better reception of 15770 aimed NE so off the side here to the
NW, on the 2-foot antenna, than on home rig with 100-foot longwire.
Now Radio Tirana English relay is loud and clear, no echo. 5800, before 2300 Feb 18, during music not obviously doublefeed, but
2300 talk is again echoing about one second later. However, by 2345
during interminable recitation of cable TV or DTV suchannel outlets,
state by state, no echo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 5040, Feb 18 at 0728, VP S5-S7 trace of talk, presumed R.
Vanuatu now that Cuba is off. Before 0630 it`s on 7260, so far
untraced here but bears surveillance (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0032 UT February 19

CUBA that offset minus 800 Hertz TX unit originate from former USSR relay
of Radio Moscow at Bejucal site of RadioCuba.
It's in turn use from time to time.At other time of the day used as
1200-1500 7340 BEJ 50kW 110 Ant Spanish Antilles ex 9640 kHz
or
1200-1500 13740 BEJ 50kW 160 SoAm Spanish Buenos Aires ex13780 kHz B-18 Maybe an alternative TX unit of few remained 50 kW type TXs at this site.
See below also Ivo's monitoring of clandestine spy number services. Technical data
15370 kHz 135degrees azimuth. #A-27-antenna in nomenclatura figures,
HRS 4/4/1 type, aimed at Rio de Janeiro Brazil, Buenos Aires Argentina in
South America, I guess 23.30-01.30 UT is right their scheduled time.

** CUBA. 15369.22, Feb 16 at 2248, RHC Spanish distorted at S9+20.
Altho not checked yesterday, this should make the sixth day in a row
of such off frequenciness. Something's always wrong at RHC.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)** CUBA. 9329.237, Feb 17 at 0715, Spy number station bigsig is way
off-frequency (and WBCQ apparently finished testing at 0500). Note how
closely its offset matches that of 15370-minus RHC as heard now for
seven days in the afternoons; same transmitter? Something's always
wrong at RadioCuba. Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, also caught the offset: "NUMBERS STATION Cuban
Spy HM01 on very odd freqs 9329.2 & 9064.2 kHz, February 17:
0700-0720 9329.2 BEJ 050 kW / Eu/Am Spanish Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri, not 9330
0730-0750 9329.2 BEJ 050 kW / Eu/Am Spanish Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri, not 9330
0800-0850 9064.2 BEJ 050 kW / Eu/Am Spanish Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri, not 9065
NO SIGNAL 9330.0 BCQ 250 kW / 270 deg WBCQ-6,test was till 05 UT
from 0900 on nominal 9240, but from 1000 on very odd 9154.2" Does
this also infect many other HM01 broadcasts?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15369.234, Feb 17 at 2134, RHC distorted Brazuguese still way
off-frequency for seventh day in a row; usual // 11880 is missing, and
15140 is already off. Something's always wrong at RHC.

MEXICO 6185.695 kHz measured tonight at 02.45 UT on Febr 19.
No audio, S=9 CARRIER ONLY signal in Alberta remote unit in Canada.others
BRAZIL 6180.013 ahead of co-channel 6180 CRI Chinese from RadioCuba
Quivican
relay site but underneath.CUBA Intermodulation strings visible on S=4-5 level in 49 mb, at 02.50 UT:
6000 RHC / 6180 CRI from Quivican produced two Intermodulation strings on
5820.982 and 6360.009 approx. (+ / - 180 Hertz). 5999.994 RHC only less than 5% audio, carrier strength of S=9+20dB though. 6060even RHC Powerful S=9+30dB Bauta site signal, Sp progr at 02.48 UT,
20 kHz wideband signal to mention tonight ! Nice audio. USA WBCQ 5130even at JBA threshold level, S=3 at 02.30 UT on Febr 19.
9330even sermon heard, S=5 in Rochester NY,
S=9+25dB in remote Cape Canaveral FL SDR rx unit.
Weak JBA signals in Alberta Canada remote unit,
also similar weak poor strength outlets of WRMI Okeechobee tonight. 73 wb df5sx ----- Original Message -----

MEXICO 6185.711 measured as poor tiny signal of XEPPM Radio Educacion
from D.F. at 03.10 UT on Febr 16.Here the figures of monitored JBA under threshold signals in North
America.
MX piece heard at 03.18, but only 5% modulation.
I couldn't recognize any type of music so far, such tiny signal level to
mention. S=5 -88dBm in remote at Cape Canaveral FL
S=5 -92dBm in remote at Detroit MI
S=6 -83dBm in remote at Alabama
S=6 -83dBm in remote at Alberta CAN Even to listen barefoot, to switch OFF AGC on the remote SDR rx totally,
brought no better signal, which happens very rarely. 73 wb df5sx ----- Original Message -----
