Glenn Hauser logs July 26, 2020

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, July 26 at 1545, LRA36 has supposedly stayed on all night until 1500 but it`s still on, as activity publicity never seems accurately fulfilled; sufficient via Brasil SDR, almost nothing but music; `Ave Maria` nice harmony hymn playing at tune-in, then lots more secular? songs. 1606 mentions Santiago del Estero; 1633 song about Provincia de Santa Fe; 1802 brief talk about the music; 1816 at last canned LRA36 ID and plug `Corazón Antártico` program. Finally cut off about 1833*. I had been listening with half an ear all this time, mainly to WYSU`s pipe organ music. Let`s face it, hardly any of the program content on LRA36 is about *ANTARCTICA*, rather Argentina and lots of music which is hardly Antarctican either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 26 at 1355-1400: NONE found WOOB in the 13s, 12s, 11s, or 10s, but in the 9s: 9215, 9230 VP in Chinese; I suppose due to depressed propagation rather than operation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, July 26 at 0558, RHC English is S9+10/20 but suptorted, and no signal on 2 x = 12200. 6000 is only S9 and also suptorted; 6145 S9 not distorted but undermodulated. 5040 off already. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Feliz 26; Patria o Suerte, ¡Pensaremos! I am still awaiting photographic evidence that anyone has scrawled this, my contrarian motto on a surface anywhere inside Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 >> // 15140, Sunday July 26 at 1501, weekly RHC  Esperanto opening; YL mispronounces Ameriko as Amériko; despite seeming fluency cannot escape her native Spanish accentuation for Espo`s invariable penultimate accent, so I don`t even stay tuned to hear her give the wrong schedule. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15825 & 13845, WWCRs are boosted by sporadic E, so I check 10m hambeacons, exact frequencies accepted, not measured, lookups in the WJ5O roster and QRZ.com, July 26:

28225.5-CW, July 26 at 1418, VVV DE W2DLL/B ... ending with K as if anyone should answer. Also listed on 28150 but this is:
``28.2255 W2DLL C BUFFALO, NEW YORK # 20W, DIPOLE  QTH & Power change 25 Sept 11/28 Feb 16``
``W2DLL USA flag USA, Dana L Laurie, Buffalo, NY 14210 USA``

28298-CW, July 26 at 1422, K5TLL/B, slow WPM and strong

``K5TLL USA flag, TERENCE L LOWERY, HATTIESBURG, MS 39402
Beacon station is a Uniden HR-2510, 25 watts ID-O-Matic keyer by http://www.HamGadgets.com ``

28276-CW, July 26 at 1423, VVV DE K - M/B, full call not copiable, but this is the only one that fits frequency, letters, area:
``28.276 K4FUM * LOGANVILLE, GEORGIA # 10W, VERTICAL (*synchronized on the min)``
``K4FUM USA flag, JERE T SANDIDGE, LOGANVILLE, GA 30052``

28264.3-CW, July 26 at 1446, VVV KD4AOZ/B, fast WPM and QRM from a slightly different pitch/frequency. Copied as AOG but one of us must have missed a dit:
``28.2643 KD4AOZ C WATKINSVILLE, GEORGIA # 10W, OMNI new 19 Jan 14``
``KD4AOZ USA flag, JEFFREY E CROWELL, WATKINSVILLE, GA 30677``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Sunday July 26 at 1351, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is in Spanish as scheduled before switch to English, S9+10/20. Maybe not off for maintenance today? 1917 JBA carrier vs local noise blob (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9605, July 26 at 1353, gospel huxter in English, S9+10/20. Aside from KBS relays at 01-02, WHRI on 9605 only this one hour per week, per EiBi, to Central America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
