** CUBA. 820, Aug 10 at 0135, harmonious duet in Spanish, as good as WBAP
which must be in a fade, on the NRD-545 and fixed N-S wire antenna, but better
than on PL-880 which I can rotate to null WBAP. Then ``that Cuban sound``
M&W announcers in scripted text, mentioning Cuba. Meanwhile, not // 4765
Progreso or 5025 Rebelde, which is to be expected since uplooked later the
closest 820 Cuban is R. Ciudad de la Habana, 10 kW CMBU in Arroyo Arenas;
however, there are two Radios Progreso also listed further on 820 in Ciego de
Ávila, and way off in Moa, Holguín. Axually, WRTH 2015 lists *two* Radios
Progreso on 820 both in Ciego de Ávila, CMIB and CMBC; all 10 kW except Moa 1 kW

** CUBA. 9545-9550, Aug 10 at
0123, buzzing noise I think is coming out of 9535 RHC transmitter which sounds
OK but undermodulated as usual on fundamental. The buzz ``modulation`` seems to
correlate with peaks on the 9535 modulation. Also on the lo side 9525-9520, but
obscured by splash from 9520 Romania. Also some pulse jamming around 9530 (Glenn

** EGYPT. 12070, August 10 at 0116, R.
Cairo, S9+ but just barely modulated, distorted presumed Spanish
11935,
August 10 at 0116, R. Cairo only S4 here, but modulation sounds about the same
as 12070
9315, August 10 at 0117, R. Cairo, S9 but sounds weaker than
12070, JBM and distorted
9965, August 10 at 0117, R. Cairo, S9+25 with
whine in Arabic, JBM but not very distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** INDIA. 9635, Aug 10 at 0120, poor S5 signal with ME? music, as
good as Brasil 9630 altho I usually don`t hear anything on 9635. HFCC has
registered: AIR via Aligarh, 250 kW, 282 degrees in Sindhi at 0045-0200 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, Aug 10 at
0143, heavy beat music, S8 peaks, DJ talks over music but no ID made out, more
music, techno; 0152 another talkover, ``live from the bunker, just like in the
old days``, autotune. This thread says it was R. Free Whatever:
on
as early as 0058, and until 0228* but I was not hearing anything in an earlier
pirate bandscan around 0110.
6925.1-AM, Aug 10 at 0147, JBA signal from
another presumed pirate. At 2210 Aug 9 on 6925.16, Liquid Radio was
reported:
And
much later logs closer to mine at 0133 and 0205 assumed it was still the same

** PERU. 5980, August 10 at 0103,
R. Chaski carrier is JBA in storm noise level tho none nearby here, so I stand
by for the calculated cutoff, 7 days later than last check when it was at
0104:06*. 6 seconds later per day = 42 seconds later in a week, so should be
circa 0104:48 tonight. No, it really autochops at 0104:46.5*, i.e. averaging
only 5.8 seconds later per, which is close to what it used to be, ~5.83 (Glenn

** SRI LANKA. 11905, August 10 at
*0114:12, carrier on from SLBC, very poor. Musical prélude starts at 0114:46.5;
2+1 mistimesignal ends at 0115:11, opening in presumed Hindi (Glenn Hauser, OK,
