** CUBA. 11670, July 7 at 0046, S9+10/20 of dead air from RHC; 11800
is also S9+10/20 but just barely modulated; always flanked by
parasitic JBA spurs 11790 & 11810, no modulation audible as
occasionally can achieve. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Was still
tuned to 11670 after Spain check at 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Justin Coe about flamenco and jazz, the M/W/F English (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 6 at 2203, no signal from VOT English to us, nor
any NSS RTTY. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2041 monitoring: not confirmed the
Monday July 6 at 1801 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria; did anyone hear it? I
was late tuning in after lunch at 1831 and by then it was dead air!
Carrier on vs RTTY 7291 warble and usual splatter from 7280 Vietnam,
but no modulation; nor at recheck 1853 during which the SW Report
should have partially aired. I fear that the first semihour was also
dead. As monitored via UTwente SDR, of course.

No luck either UT Tuesday July 7 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, this one off
the air, not even a JBA carrier, while the others on 7730 & 7570 were
inbooming. 7780 still AWOL at 0125 and past 0200. Next:

** YEMEN [non]. 11860.012, July 7 at 0048, Qur`an and Cuban pulse
jamming adding up to S7-S9, must be Republic of Yemen Radio via one of
the Sa`udi sites. Seldom heard anymore, let alone in our mornings like
it used to be, of course blocked by Radio Martí at 14-22, and Cuban
jamming even prolonger. Not in HFCC A-20, nor anything from Sa`udi
Arabia. Aoki shows ROYR sked as 02-23, EiBi and WRTH Update as 02-22,
and this is after all the nightmiddle there. It might have expanded to
24h during Ramadan, but that`s long gone. Nothing else in any of them
until China/Tibet after 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Nogales, Sonora; right on Honolulu; Port Moresby; but plenty signal
here 30 degrees offbeam, second only to 315 on 7570, 5850. Just prior
at 0029.5, an Allen Graham in Quito ID and a fragment of Bob Zanotti

turned off. Probably WHRI test; available 14-21 daily but normally
used only on Sundays --- or so I thought until checking

https://familybroadcastingcorporation.com/whr/whr-iframe-page/?search=Angel1
which claims `Angel 1` runs 17.815 every day at 19-22 except for a
switch to 17540 at 2105-2130, which I also find hard to believe;
exaggerated scheduling beyond axual SW usage? Mostly just Music with
IRN News on the hour, hardly worth the watts.

It also claims Angel 6 on 7385 not only most of the night, but all day
long! Don`t you believe it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Spanish with lite French accent but also has to pronounce properly
names in Arabic. Via UTwente SDR. Richard Langley, NB reports there
was no English during entire 18-19 hours July 3 or 4:

``It seems they take pieces of the different language segments from

bit of HOA vocal music and off 1459*. I notified the WOR iog of this
ASAP but at presstime only Ivo Ivanov replied at 1859:

``Good signal here, 1400 in Afar, 1415 in Somali, 1430 in French, 1445
in Arabic and 1457 again in Afar. Probably tx is Secretbrod [BULGARIA]
or per Aoki is Grigoriopol [PRIDNESTROVYE]``.

Website provides audio and texts of broadcasts in May, which were then
weekly, but none since 22 May:

Christian Ghibaudo reported on June 21 to bdxc-news: ``The latest
broadcast is on their Facebook page. It's June 19, there is a weekly
broadcast on Friday (Radio Vendredi). They broadcast again on
shortwave because the government of Djibouti has cut the Internet in
the country, making listening difficult. The association La Voix de
Djibouti is based in Paris. Regards from Sunny Nice, Christian

** U S A. ``Hello Glenn, Happy 4th of July, Based on SDR trolling and
some listener check-ins, the WBCQ 4th of July in the Park should have
done OK near you although there was some storm activity in parts of
the region. The next special will be Labor Day, again a multi-program
effort. Although I am serving as cat-herder as Uncle Bill, the larger
purpose is to showcase WBCQ's music programs generally, and I hope
that the other programs (Marion's Attic, Behavior Night, Lost Discs,
Rock Wave and others) also attract new listeners, and perhaps this
might even inspire some aspiring radio host to start a new program as
well. At a minimum, we hope to serve as a reminder that music on
licensed broadcast shortwave (not just pirates) is very much alive.
Best, William "Bill" Tilford, Owner/Producer, Tilford Productions,
LLC`` 0222 UT July 5. My reply:

``Hi Bill, Enjoyed it. Since I was at the computer instead of the SW
radio, I could not resist listening via the WBCQ stream. I am ashamed?
Anyhow some of it was in $ tereo and the scratches were clearer, hi. As
you know, SW from `BCQ is not the best here, even without storms, and
especially without 500 kW. In scheduling, you might want to consider
possible competition from --- TV, as PBS, CNN and NBC were all
starting their 4OJ specials at same time. Your fireworx were hard to
see``

** U S A. 7490v, 6160v, 5130v, UT Sat July 4 after 0000, for AAAWWW,
these WBCQs are detectable, very poor signals with storm noise; all I
hear at a quick check is Angela overmodulating an opinion on current
events.

Has been repeating 24 hours later on 7490v at least, but not this
week, as UT Sun July 5 at 0000-0100 is when Uncle Bill`s
much-publicized 4th of July musical special is due, on 7490+v and
6159.9v.

Unfortunately simultaneously with `A Capitol Fourth` on PBS-TV, but
repeated a sesquihour later at least on OETA; and CNN`s 4OJ special at
0000-0400 UT, not to mention countless local events, including Enid,
where the Enid Symphony Orchestra is barreling ahead with its
traditional performance at Meadowlake Park despite the risks; people
are encouraged to spread out as there is plenty of space around the
lake, but in best of times getting in and out is problematic, e.g.
avoiding those burning poison gas, i.e. smokers who think it`s OK as
long as it`s outside; and parking is a nightmare.

I urged conductor Doug Newell to reconsider; what about the musicians
crammed under the canopy? The windy ones at least cannot be masked.
How about recording and/or broadcasting it? He says they don`t have
the rights to do so, which would be an additional expense.

The concert is always free to the public, underwritten this year by
Security National Bank. Starts around 0130 UT after a full day
schedule of other risky events at the Park, and to accompany fireworx
circa 0230 when it`s finally darkening.

To avoid the hassles, the past few years we have been attending
instead dress rehearsals at 4 pm Saturday back in Symphony Center, but
not this year in that enclosed and possibly crowded venue. The
fireworx can of course be seen from a considerable distance away, but
the music inaudible. Years before I had tried to get them to employ a
Part 15 FM transmitter for better sound than over the loudspeakers,
and maybe audible just outside the park in cars. Nix.

ESO apparently is itching to get going again with no performances
since March, the final scheduled concert of the year, an all-Beethoven
bash in April for season subscribers only, postponed. BTW, there
aren`t enough local musicians to form an orchestra, so ESO has to draw
in others from elsewhere in OK. As a 51-K city, we are lucky to have
it and hope all of them survive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, July 3 at 2044, NO signal from WRMI-9 when RFPI is
scheduled on Fridays; normally a JBA carrier at least; while 15825
WWCR & 15610 WEWN do now achieve that much (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7385, July 4 at 0236, this WHRI is now squealing, like 7315
VOV relay previously; now 7315 is also on in English not // gospel
huxters, and also squealing.

9825, July 4 at 0555, WHRI squealing here too with g.h., maybe one of
same transmitters as earlier on 7 MHz. Haven`t they noticed in Cypress
Creek, Furman, Noblesville or South Bend?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, July 4 at 0239, WWCR-4 is back on, non-TOM during this
hour, following several days off for repairs. Day frequency 9980 also
resumed at 1654 check, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SOUTH
CAROLINA [non]

UNIDENTIFIED. 12670.0-USB, July 4 at 1359, 2-way in Spanish, one of
them screaming, encountered as I bandscan for CNR1 jammers. Per
Klingenfuss 2002y, this was not a ship SSB frequency, but WNU New
Orleans was in CW/DIG on 12670.4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
