Glenn Hauser logs May 20-21, 2020

** SPAIN. 11940, May 20 at 2219, dead air from REE, just like yesterday, while 9690 is VG, 12030 fair with modulation, but 11670 without a signal. I would not be surprised if 11940 have been dead for entire transmission spans today and/or yesterday, 1800-0200.

Congrats to Antonio Buitrago, who has received this honor:

He also does the Spanish DX program, but perhaps he should pay a bit more attention to whether Noblejas be doing its job. As always, critiques will be moderated if COVID-19 can be reasonably blamed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 20 at 2216, VOT English is on at S7-S9 but undermodulated. Something`s erroneous at Emirler; but no RTTY anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2034 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday May 20 from 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490.03v, VP S6-S8 across daypath.

Also confirmed UT Thursday May 21 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG via Maine SDR near the boresight.

Next WOR 2035 should be ready by early UT Friday May 22, first WRMI broadcast at 2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, May 20 at 2218 check, no signal from the WBCQ SuperStation. Normally weak at this hour awayward, but totally off now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
