** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, July 8 at 1427, no signal here from LRA36, as sometimes achieves over mostly-water path from Esperanza to Enid, so is it still active Wednesdays around 1400-1600v? Yes, checked Pardinho, Brasil KiwiSDR at 1541 to hear W&M chat in Spanish -1550+, 1552 ``Nacional`` jingle, 1555 credits and ID; but poor and hashy QRM, local at rx site? Hard to tell with that but own modulation may also be defective (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
Reception had improved by 1555, no QRM and modulation OK, mostly readable; extended again past 1600, OM announcer breaks into song briefly at 1607; 1614 another song and ``un abrazo grande`` from YL; final credits briefly and song until 1615, off? Not quite, back with a bit more music until plugpull at 1615.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey July 8 at 1358: nothing below 13560 except 12880 & 12870 S7-S9, JBA on 12820. 1359 quick check above and below 11 MHz at 1359 finds only 11100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 4765, July 8 at 0100, no signal from Radio Progreso, nominally 0030-0400. Mark Coady, Ont., also mentioned not hearing it in his July 7 report but without a specific date and time, assuming that was due to poor propagation. But something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5040, July 8 at 0545, RHC in wrong language, still Spanish instead of English so not // 6000 JBM, 6145 undermod, and 6100 best, plus second harmonic 12200, S9/+10 at 0553. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185-, July 8 at 0548, at first seems XEPPM is AWOL, no signal, but then a JBA carrier and offset-minus, so probably it but QRP, exciter only? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 11769.904V, slightly unstable, July 8 at 0554, guess what, VON is trying a third frequency for the 0600 Hausa broadcast, instead of 7254.9 or 9689.9, both of which have been heard recently but vacant now. Or a mistake? This is normally its evening channel only. HOA-type music at tune in; 0558 IS of drum and flutish; 0600 first spoken word is ``Nigeria``. This is the SSOB, equivalent to 12200 Cuba harmonic, stronger than 11895 Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jammer vs RFA via Saipan, and much stronger than 11835 Vanuatu harmonic. What`s next, 15120? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 89.5, July 8 at 0240 UT and beyond, still there at 1550, strong open carrier with $tereo pilot on, encountered as I am fruitlessly bandscanning for sporadic E DX since there`s a 106 MHz MUF spike around Wyoming. 89.5 is one of our few almost-open frequencies. Nearest full-powers are KWGS in Tulsa and KHCD in Salina, but there is no enhancement from other stations in those areas and both are normally inaudible. Perhaps a neighbor`s unoccupied RF feeder? Certainly not mine (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Wed July 8 at 0125, WTWW-2 has Ted asserting it`s ``the real QSO``, after rock music and before Jesus plug; 0136 recheck Tedad for power supplies, and another Jesus plug. If this is ``QSO RADIO SHOW LIVE TUESDAY 8 PM CENTRAL ON 5085`` per http://wtww.us/pages/schedule.php he`s veering it way off-topic. 5085 is already off at 0544 check; sometimes runs later than nominal midnight CDT close.
