Glenn Hauser logs July 13-14, 2020

** CUBA. 11800, July 14 at 0015, RHC is S9+10 but JBM, even less so the JBA parasites on 11790 & 11810. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11630 approx., July 14 at 0018, S9+10 spurblob from 11670 RHC, no program modulation but in AM mode, not FM, same tone as in background on 11670 which is S9+10/20 and suptorted, this time closer to F natural than F#. But no match circa +40 at 11710, nor multiples of 40 either side. Recently had some of those about x39 kHz from 11670. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.5, July 13 at 1930 UT on caradio, a signal on normally vacant 89.5; promo for CSN and 1-800-327-4226? Into Allen Jackson Ministries. MUF was not quite into FM when I left, but maybe it is now? Soon fades out completely, as if it had been Es. CSN has stations, mostly translators, all over out of HQ in of all places, Twin Falls, Idaho. WTFDA Database shows ten on 89.5, all translators or rather satellators, except for this full power one, which strangely enough is not shown relaying KAWZ like all the others:

``KJCC 89.5 CARNEGIE OK 23.5 kW H&V, 118.8 m HAAT, 35-21-17 98-13-58 RELIGIOUS TEACHING     CSN INTERNATIONAL``

That reminds me I have heard it before 3+ years ago, reported in detail then with much of what I would remark about it and CSN again: http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1724.txt

Carnegie is WSW of OKC, where there is also a CSN 89.5 translator, or 157 km = 98 statute miles SSW of here, between Anadarko and Gotebo (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, Mon July 13 at 2215, no signal from VOT English to us, but plenty RTTY from NSS Annapolis. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.

But 9690 Spain has some nice classical music presented by Justin Coe, finishing with a song for a Don Quixote play (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15610 & 9385, WEWN English frequencies: Glen Tapley, frequency manager, replies July 13 to my inquiry about their sesquiweek absence: ``Filament and cable repair. Should be back in a day or two. Sent from my iPhone`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 14 at 0023, no signal from WLCR via WBCQ-6. 500 kW if really at full power, is often weak here way offbeam, depending on rotatable azimuth, presumably huge in the boresight, but there should be at least a carrier if it`s on. So we always wonder if there has been another breakdown of some kind. AW has not been twitting daily, latest ones of July 12, 8 and 5 and nothing about any such problems, just promotion and photos (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 93.1, re my KRVN Lexington NE log by uncertain propagation, Chris Lucas replies: ``On June 29 around that time, there was really great tropo conditions out that way. Oklahoma City and Denver being received on FM near Omaha; South Dakota and Western Nebraska reported being received in Oklahoma City. In fact there were enhanced tropo conditions in that region for a few days. Chris Lucas dtvdxer Poughkeepsie, NY``

Well, there was no sign of anything else unusual here on the FM band, just KRVN briefly overriding closer marginal 100/100 kW 93.1 in Pratt KS, KHMY i.e. as a MY for Hutchinson KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 8990-USB, July 14 at 0022, weak 2-way sounds Spanish, noticed as checking for 8989-USB blackwater fisherpreacher altho never reported after 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
