** BULGARIA. 7290, July 17 at 1827, I check out how IRRS hour in
English is doing via Secretbrod, into UTwente SDR: dead air! except
for 7291 warble, 7280 splash and humroar on own carrier; but song
modulation cuts on once a minute for 5-10 seconds at 1827, 1828, 1829,
1830, 1831, 1832 --- enough of that; time for lunch. 1859 recheck
still DA, but 1900 brief ID and off. What programming was defeated?
Glad it would not have been WOR. Tried to check website,
https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/
but blocked by two browsers as Not Secure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 17 at 1336: none in the WOOB 13s or
12s, tho S Korean CWs propagating and audible below 13 MHz. 11200
S2-S4 Chinese, 10960 JBA.

At 1346: 9180 Chinese; stronger 9260 S5-S7 this one with fast SAH from
victim, SOH? also 9215 JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E MUFs are mostly tantalizingly just below 88 MHz
FMBC band. Unfortunately, I don`t have a decent lowband TV Ch 2-6
antenna and rotor, so I am missing DTVDX and maybe some analog left
from Latin or Canadian America; 6 meters may be open too, but a few
chex for beacons there have not succeeded, as all I have is my
longwire mainly for HF and MF. That leaves the 10m hambeaconband,
after first finding CB such as 27025 hopping with hetty pileups:

28217.5, July 17 at 1419, VVV DE K4PAR/B, and fades. WJ5O shows:
``28.2175 K4PAR ? EATONTON, GEORGIA # ?,? un-coordinated 28 May 19
reported by Richard SWL``. See my recent report already heard;
``K4PAR USA flag USA, DOUGLAS S BARKER, PIEDMONT ARES LLC, 816 Oak St,

Eatonton is SE of Atlanta, forms a triangle with Athens.

PROPAGATION BEACON "ON AIR"

One of the many things I do to help the amateur radio hobby is to
operate and maintain a "propagation beacon" station using a FCC
approved Amateur HF Transmitter for [CW].

There are many such stations located around the world that are
operated by other amateur radio operators. Simply stated: A
propagation beacon station constantly transmits a signal using morse
code (CW) on a specific frequency. If an amateur radio operator or
short wave listener hears a beacon coming from another part of the
world it usually means that they can either hear, or in the case of an
amateur radio operator talk to, stations operating from the same area
as the beacon they monitored.

Join in on the fun of running a propagation beacon.

** U S A. 9330, July 17 at 0639, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is OFF again. (No
9333 carrier either now); still off at 1345. What`s wrong? Still
nothing about it from AW twits, other than vague comment latest:

``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · Jul 16 --- Another day of radio work here
at the shortwaves station WBCQ. From antenna maintenance to
transmitter repair. From roof work to field mowing there’s always much
to do at WBCQ. 9330/7490/6160/5130khz are the free speech spots on
your dial. Fixing the 780khz AM transmitter.``

Is he back in ME now or still in FL? Can`t tell. Maybe he will impart
some info on tonight`s AAAWWW; please monitor, 00-01 UT Sat on 7490+
and maybe some of the others, or webcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Fri July 17 at 1348, WRMI-3, `Viva Miami` --- this
time it`s really in Spanish, Jeff & Thaïs chatting about Florida, a
visit to almost vacant Orlando; big turtles on the beaches; and
acknowledging reception reports, some from non-SS countries, such as
Japón; did they really write in Spanish? Postal address remains
6-figure box in Miami; I`d think that would be inconvenient for the
Okeechobeeans to check.

Once again, 9955 does not go off* at 1400 but continues with `Freedom
Synergy Radio`, first item about Hong Kong situation, in English;
still going at 1417 but off after 1430. However, System B sked shows
FSN webcast only for a full hour at 1400-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, July 17 at 1345, KVOH on early with song/hymn, S8
and undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Level 1-2 tropo William Hepburn forecast around this part of
OK, KS, July 17 at 1500 UT, and I bandscan starting at 1525: most open
UHF channels, 20-36 have at least a Bad signal and several of the OKC
channels are not decoding due to DX QRM. Also RF ch 6 Bad despite no
apropos antenna, presumed KBSD Ensign=Dodge City KS.

A few do decode so I explore their subs: Derby=Wichita KS:

RF 31: 31-1 KDCU-DT Spanish; 31-2 Grit; 31-3 Escape=Mystery; 31-4
Laff; 31-5 Court.

Two from Tulsa:

RF 22: 23-1 KOKI-TV; 23-2 MeTV; 23-3 EscapeT [sic]=Mystery

** CUBA. 13650, July 15 at 2321, suptorted Chinese music fill instead
of scheduled CRI Portuguese relay. On July 13, Rick Barton in AZ
caught this transmission carrying CRI English instead; July 14 back to
the usual. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,

better than 11800 dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, UT Wed July 15 at 0626, RHC `DXers Unlimited` final
repeat is just starting as I tune by, Arnie says for next 10 minutes
but really lasts only until 0633; reminiscing about his first ham call
once the Commies were in power, granted in October 1959, CM2DL, altho
he had been allowed to operate a friend`s ham station before then,
Elmer? I believe that CM- prefices were/are for novices; eventually
became CO2KK, which should not be pronounced in Spanish unless with
`kilo` fonetix. His slurred speech is not too disturbing today. Also
on 6145 but not much on 12200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, 9690-, 11770-, 15120, July 15 at 0620, VON cannot
be found on any of its known frequencies, at least three of which have
been employed recently for this Hausa hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 15 at 2158, VOT already on with IS and English
ID, S7-S9 but undermodulated, 2200 timesignal two seconds late, so
what good is it? Don`t you believe; sign on delayed or lacking
modulation at first. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2042 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday July 15
at 2102 underway on WBCQ webcast, after finding 7490+ a JBA carrier at
