Glenn Hauser logs July 21-22, 2020

** BRAZIL. 11780, July 21 at 2126, RNA is S8/S9+10 but JBM suptorted and some squeal. Wake up at the site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming survey, July 22 at 1346-1400: 11460; 11440; 11150; 11120; 11000- JBA carrier; 10920; 10820; 12500; 12550; 12795 S9; 12835 S9-S7; 12880; 13020; 13130; 13160 S5-S8; 13630; 13835; 13920; 14850; 14920; 16065?; 16160; 9230 timesignal to 1400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11628 & 11712 approx., July 22 at 0114, extremely distorted spurblobs from 11670 RHC; F# tone also audible especially in FM tuning mode. Plus & minus 42 kHz, but no further multiples noted this time. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1090, July 22 at 0600 UT, another dead-air hole provided by KAAY Little Rock, facilitating when nulled other hearage. Filled by music, brief unreadable Spanish announcement, then that song in English with strumming, morphing from ``Somewhere Over the Rainbow`` into ``What a Wonderful World``. Lovely, like this by IZ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z26BvHOD_sg So I do expect it to be XEAU Monterrey NL, 5/0.5 kW, which is conveniently close to right angle from KAAY, and could also be source of the English song last night. A fraxion of Mexistations do specialize in English music; sure beats TV infomercials. 0605 KAAY resumes with gospel music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28227.3-CW, July 22 at 1454, beacon VVV VVV DE KC0VDY/B: ``28.2273 KC0VDY C FRUITA, COLORADO 5W New 9 June 2018``
Fruita is just west of Grand Junxion on I-70 near Utah border. QRZ.com shows: ``KC0VDY USA flag USA, James C Jeffery, Ii, Fruita, CO 81521 USA
I have a 10 Meter beacon that is on 28.2273 MHz running 5 watts through a vertical antenna. Let me know if you hear it. 73s`` Not as long as QRZ.com has this restrixion: ``Email: (Ham members only)``

28224.5-CW, July 22 at 1500, beacon K5GJR/B ..., heard before: ``28.2245 K5GJR C CORPUS CHRISTI, TX # 5W, VERTICAL``

29300-CW, July 2 at 1502, K5FRC/B, no further message, just ID like on 13565, which I`ve not heard in quite a while. WJ5O roster has this rather confusing info as it includes historical/outdated entries:

``28.300 K6FRC/B3 TRACY, CALIFORNIA 10W, VERTICAL  QRT prior to 2016
28.300   K6FRC C TRACY, CALIFORNIA #  100W, "POGO stick" VERTICAL Freq change 8 July 09
28.300   K6FRC/B2 TRACY, CALIFORNIA 10W, VERTICAL Backup transmitter for K6FRC/B`` --- but no listing for the call I do hear, K6FRC/B. However most of the hundreds of listees omit the /B which most of them do transmit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.9v, UT Wed July 22 at 0054 open carrier; 0055 start ``WBCQ The Planet`` ID & IS loop, 0100 music and faux time signal, Hal Turner theme. Now it`s // 7490+ and 9455 WRMI.

5130.0 is not // the other WBCQs, 0057 music, 0100 `Whiter Shade of Pale`, 0106 brief talk unreadable, maybe attempt to start `Amateur Radio Roundtable` as sked, right back to music 0111+; too noisy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 22 at 1400, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is gone again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9385, July 22 at 0116, WEWN English is finally back on after missing some 18 days, first noted absent July 4. Now it`s S9+20/30, seems stronger than before, rivalling WBCQ-6 9330, so maybe really refurbished with more power output.

Back on July 13, frequency manager Glen Tapley had replied to my inquiry, ``Filament and cable repair. Should be back in a day or two``. Program now is discussing Planned Parenthood, no doubt negatively by the Catholix who prefer Random Parenthood, and who cares about overpopulation, a root cause of many of this world`s problems? 15610, afternoon frequency should also be back at 19-24; did not notice it in random tuning July 21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 22 at 0124 and 0216 chex, no signal from WRNO, not unusual, nominally 0100-0400; is it frustrating for transmitters and receivers or does no one really care? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
