Glenn Hauser logs August 1-2, 2020

** CUBA. 15410 approx., August 1 at 2151, distorted spurblob with music and telltale F# tone, so I know immediately it has to be coming from the nearest RHC, i.e. 15370: Yes, undermodulated there at S7, soon with poetry or lyrix recitation; where else at ~40-kHz intervals? S5 15333 approx. at minus 37, while they are really diffuse, now 15407-15411 audible; JBA around 15447 but not around 15289. Event from an echoey hall, mentions Moncada, perpetual revolutionary obsession, living in the past. Surely same spurry transmitter recently on 11670 later, and less recently on 13700 earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11800, Aug 1 at 2206, RHC is S7-S8 and suptorted while its parasitic spurs on 11790 & 11810 are mere JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 9675: after barely hearing `Encore` via Channel 292 on new 9670 via UTwente after 1700, I check again Aug 1 at 1855 to find how bad the CCI be from EAST TURKISTAN, CRI in Persian already there at 1800-1900 --- which taking Ivo`s advice, caused Uncle Bill to reschedule his new Friday bihour on 9670 from August 7 to 16-18 instead of 18-20 UT. Yes, would certainly have a problem before 1900 on 9670, but a far greater problem is huge signal at UTwente on 9675, Sa`udi Arabia in stilted Turkish, furthermore distorted over-modulation breaking up! Riad at 1800-2100 per EiBi, 1755-2057 per Aoki but missing from HFCC A-20! HFCC does show a further mess on 9675, 1900-2100 Egypt in Russian which I think is imaginary but not checked after 1900; and from 2020 an hour from Iran in Spanish which would collide with Sa`udi until it`s finished at 2057 or 2100. That`s also likely to ACI 292 if anyprogram try to use it those hours. BTW only two of the six airings of `Encore` classical music on WRMI are any good here to the NW, and I do catch it UT Sunday Aug 2 at 0100-0200 on 5850 via OKC SDR; next is UT Monday 0200-0300 on 9455. Always enjoyable and tnx to Brice Avery for producing it! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. Re my last report under unID MW: ``I was also checking page 59 of WRTH 2020, the glossy map of Europe, and notice there is a SW site in red at San Fernando, on the SW coast of Spain just above Gibraltar. When was there ever a SW site there, beyond Noblejas or long-gone Arganda?? Maybe utility? I`ve always felt these maps should be much more detailed if they would show at least major MW sites, but they are only for SW``

Richard Langley explains that this refer to timesignal station EBC. The diamond at the spot is in dark blue which the legend explains refers to such SW outlets, as shown on page 669: 1 kW CW but on air less than one hour weekdays only: 1000-1025 on 15006, 1030-1055 on 4998. Is it active? Can`t recall any recent reports of it and I`m never listening at that hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 1 at 2200, no signal here from VOT English, but at 2215 a JBA carrier; maybe came on late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 14285-USB, Sat Aug 1 at 2159, ``Air Force Flyers Roundtable Net``, no calls copied but someham remarx that duct tape is conductive so where that matters, use black tape instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, Sat Aug 1 at 2213, S9-S8 open carrier which I can only assume is WRMI altho #12 is not sked until *0000; except Fridays from 2230; also a squeal or het on about 5850.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
