** 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) {only signal on band -- strongest signal on band} ** 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) ** 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) ** CUBA. 11760, Sat August 5 at 1948, RHC in English jazz show, S7/S9, not supposed to be on this frequency, but a fortunate mistake(?) since proper 15140 is *much* weaker about S1 JBA. At 1958.7*, 11760 cuts off mid-music; and then I find 15140 also off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Aug 6 at 0105, undermodulated in HSNL, can`t be positive it`s English; also with dirty spurs about 2.6 kHz plus and minus. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, Aug 6 at 0115, quite a mess here, mixture of at least two audios but seems only one carrier. One is Spanish about Cuba; the other would be from some other RHC program, like 6000? English? Cannot make a positive match due to awfulness of both frequencies. Definitely not // 5025. The RHC clash with Romania will not be until 0200. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, August 6 at 0652, RHC extension in Spanish, S9/+10 with squeal, and spurs about plus/minus 3 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9650, August 7 at 2333, S5/S7 undermodulated drumming music and Spanish announcement, // better 11760 with squeal and spurs, and // much better 15230, S9+10/20 but lofi. Seldom heard and reported frequency, 9650: WRTH Update, Aoki and HFCC miss it completely but EiBi shows it 00-05, close but no cigar. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11950, Mon Aug 7 at 2335, S9/+10 of dead air instead of `Mesa Redonda` TV show soundtrack, which if on this hour only, would not be // any other RHC Spanish except 6000 -- where there is no signal at all. EiBi shows 11950 as daily and 6000 as M-F only; WRTH UD as Tue-Sat on both, which does not make sense; ditto Aoki as days 34567. HFCC continues to pretend RHC does not exist; not helpful. Something`s always wrong at RHC (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) ** EGYPT, SPAIN, TURKEY. Ho hum, usual situation involving English at 2200 August 7 on 9439.995, 17855/15520/11670, and 11785.009 respectively (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) ** KURDISTAN [non]. Nothing received direct in still depressed propagation after several blackouts, so check UTwente for the Turko/Kurdo radio war, August 9 at 1755: 17460.017, S9+5 chanting music, undermodulated, more fadey than: 17470.001, S9+5/10 music but cuts off at 1800*. Then: 17460, at 1800 both here making a fast SAH - like 16 Hz? talk vs music. After my lunch break, at 1840: 17460, both still here, YL talk stronger than OM shouting with music. Now, which is which? The +17 Hz offset implies Turkey jammer, typical for Emirler, but would expect it to be stronger than supposed Uzbekistan site for Dengê Welat (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) ** 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) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, August 5 at 0635, NO signal from VON direct, unlike the now reliable neighbor Vanuatu 7260. Is VON totally inactive? Seems last time I logged it was July 9 at 0649; it was typically carrier only or poorly modulated. I tune past here virtually every night before 0700. It used to be active also local evenings, reliably uppicked by Canary Islands SDR, but which no longer exists. August 5 at 1605 I check the two Kiwis in Africa, Kenya and RSA -- nothing, but their quality is questionable. Nor one in Spain. UTwente? It does lock onto an inaudible 7254.999, which could be Tibet or S Korea per HFCC. For longtime, VON had been on 7255- if anywhere, not 11770 or 9690 or 15120 DRM, its other original spots (Glen Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [non]. 17735, August 5 at 1946, JBA carrier direct. It`s a brand-new target service.

Others confirm it better than I can on Sat Aug 5. I`m dodging lightning storms around Enid, mostly can`t even internet remote (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. 1920 kHz, Aug 5 at 1952 UT, second harmonic of 960 local KGWA is JBA: have not noticed this in a long time. Third harmonic 2880 used to be better but inaudible now tho there is a lot of storm noise (Glenn Hauser, Enid, 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) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Aug 5 at 1947, local S9 CB dead air is off again; but no skip audible here or elsewhere on 27 MHz (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Aug 8 at 2157, S8 open carrier from local Enid CBer blocking the channel. Somewhat separable by tuning to 27185.6 USB, a GOB keeps talkin about walkin his dawg (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 92.9, on caradio Aug 4 at 2040 UT, JBA fringe signal from ``The Edge``, i.e. the 200-watt K225BN translator of the HD2 of KOMA 92.5, OKC, where no one listens to it. What a silly branding, edge of what, alluding to HD2? On 92.9 one never knows which fringer will dominate in Enid, this with a bit of tropo, or KBEZ Tulsa, equally stupid branding, ``The Drive`` -- of what? 100 kW without any boost. Not to be outdone, the 92.9 in Kansas, Osage City, KMXN, if not really MeXicaN, calls itself ``The Bull`` -- no bull!

No outroduxion about the performance. This is K253BC, Enid translator of KLVV 88.7 Ponca City, which came in well enough direct, but was sacrificed for another gospel huxter translator (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) 91.5, the gospel huxter here, KSNS Medicine Lodge KS, I have noticed playing some soft jazz at times, such as UT Sunday August 6 at 0052 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 9 at 2004 UT, dead air in $tereo on caradio during bandscan not expecting any DX except some MS pings. Still dead several minutes later. Must be my nearest, KOCD Okeene, 14 kW, a real station which relays an LP, 0.1 kW KWDW 93.9, OKC, which I can`t hear due to KIMY Watonga, salvation in English. Yet WTFDA FMDB shows different brandings: 101.5 R. Salvación; 93.9 R. Bautista Calvario!

No, it is talker KRMG, maybe infomercial, no discs, since // 740, or rather 10 sex delayed after 740. But why? This proves that AM is still primary no matter how much they push FM first.

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.

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: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=366478 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 98.3, August 5 at 1928 UT, still dead air from KQZQ Kiowa KS - note, in my Aug 4 log reversed the call as ``KZQZ``. Wait! It`s not completely dead but just barely modulated, still in mono. Must turn up caradio volume to max to hear it at less than ideal level; 1942, ``My Country 98-3``, as they too avoid tongue-twister legal call. No mention of Scott Becker. Still same at 0046 August 6 but now with ACI from 98.1 OKC station, sounds like overmodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 106.5, August 5 at 1937 UT. ``Radio Lobo, 106.5`` ID in Spanish after ad in English.
