From there you may click on the last two, #94 and #95. Direct link may also appear broken; it`s asking for trouble to make an URL with blank spaces in it: http://www.w4uvh.net/TRSW – TCOTM eQSL – Hauser.jpg so I have changed that to: http://www.w4uvh.net/TRSW_TCOTM_eQSL_Hauser.jpg

WORLD OF RADIO 2043 monitoring: confirmed Monday July 20 from 1800.5 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria, on UTwente SDR Holland, VG but with usual QRM, splash from Vietnam 7280 and Iran 7300, even with ~6 kHz bandwidth AMsync mode; and the RTTY warble always on 7291.

** U S A. 1680+, July 20 at 0612 UT, dead air open carrier looping NE/SW, vs C&W from KRJO Monroe LA to the SE. I figure it`s probably WPRR Ada MI, which recently went ``off`` the air. I didn`t normally get WPRR well enough to listen to, KRJO dominant. These make fast SAH against each other, the NE one on the upper side. MWoffsets shows:
``1680 1680.0106 KRJO (Monroe, LA) [1679.9930-] 24h 2020-02-13 1680 1680.0167 WPRR (Ada, MI) [1680.0137-1680.02] 2019-11-08 unstable, swinging from 1680.018 to 1680.022``
But I would say this time they were at least 20 Hz = .020 apart.
I asked Michiganders about this:
``Hi Harold & Kenneth, Last night at 0612+ UT I had an open carrier on 1680 looping NE/SW, vs Monroe to the SE, and the NE one was slightly higher in frequency, making fast SAH. I figure it was probably WPRR transmitter. Could you check out whether it`s on the air with OC? Glenn``
Kenneth Vito Zichi replies quickly:
``I would guess your assumption about the open carrier is correct. Jack Amelar in Lowell (near Grand Rapids and in a far better location to tell than either Harold or I) sent an email on Friday:
"Tonight, 1680 is on with dead carrier. I can barely hear WTTM(p) under. Tuned into dead carrier at 0015 July 18. At oo26 "Hood" music pops in, heard an ID 88.? The Ride, back to Hood Music. at 0037 dead carrier again and still dead at 0140.
