** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Sat Aug 15 at 1640-1730+, no signal from LRA36 via Brasil SDR --- original plans were to broadcast from 1700, but missed regular Wednesday 14-16+ airing Aug 12 due to bad weather, so maybe it`s still bad, or skipped without a new `Corazón Antártico` show to repeat for starters.
[and non]. I had wondered whether the RAE special via LRA36 on July 25 would also show up on WRMI relay, and now Ron Howard confirms:
``Hi Glenn, Happened to tune by 5800, on Aug 14 (Friday), at 0304 and heard WRMI with the special LRA36 program you reported hearing on July 25. My four minute audio [in English] is at http://bit.ly/3kQdflI Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey August 15 at 1350-1400: none in the 16s; 15165; 14940 JBA carrier, 14920, 14850; 13130, 13020 S7/S9+10, 12880, 12870 S9/+10; 12210 vs CODAR; 25mb inband skipped; 11500, 11460 S9+10, 11440 & 11150 JBA carriers, 11120 S9+; 31m inband skipped; 9300 S9 unusual, the only in lower 9s but confirmed // (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13632 & 13564 approx., Aug 15 at 1351, my CNR1 jammer survey is interrupted by reactivation of broad RHC spurblobs out of 13700 transmitter, missing for quite a while, but never permanently fixed. No programming audible in SSB mode, but in FM and AM. These at approx. 68-69 kHz intervals; after 1400 China finished, back to look for more as RHC runs multi-lingual ID (including abolished Guarani, Quechua??): also on plus side around 13769, 13838; and trace of the F# tone circa 13908 and 13427, the lower vs CODAR. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauer, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 515-MCW kHz, Aug 15 at 0626, NDB PN in Ponca City is still off; 341-MCW EI in Enid is still on.
Too much storm noise from KS to detect much else, but two signals seem mixing on 420, probably PK in KS and FQ in MN, from previous experience, both 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** THAILAND. 9390, August 15 at 1359, lovely deep chimes of HSK9 on good signal vs 9395 WRMI, just in time for 1400 English --- but cuts off briefly and comes back with much weaker signal before 1400, still chiming. Shux, at 1330-1400 it`s in Thai on 54 degree beam for CIRAF 45 & 50 --- but 50 is Philippines eastward, while 45 is Japan NE. After 1400 in English has switched to 132 degrees for CIRAF 49 thru 60, i.e. all of SE Asia, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand, but skipping 52, 53 and 57 which are central and southern Africa, the strange way CIRAF zones are numbered. If only they could stay on 54 degrees or even less for English so we could hear them, much better in our mornings than the supposedly intentional NAm broadcasts in our evenings after 0000 on JBA at best 15590 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2047 monitoring: slept thru the Saturday August 15 at 1300 on WRMI 15770; did anyone hear it? Also please check Sat 1130 on 9955 which persists on their skedgrid but months ago WOR had been replaced by something else. Next:
For WA0RCR a nearby KiwiSDR is available: http://kb0fxkiwisdr.hopto.org:8073/ already well heard at 1756 check during extensive ham news sked
