Glenn Hauser logs August 19-20-21, 2020

** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Aug 21 at 0555 UT, dash and WG, 1000 watt ND beacon from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Only Canadian ever heard among seven listed on 248, two of them also a kilowatt, and four of them also with 2-letter calls lacking a Y- or -Z, but all with a dash of course.

346-MCW kHz, Aug 21 at 0601, dash and YXL, 500 watt NDB from Sioux Lookout, Ontario. It`s way NW of Thunder Bay, not an area we associate today with the Sioux First Nation. This does not explain where the name came from: https://www.northernontario.travel/sunset-country/7-interesting-facts-about-sioux-lookout but a ``Lac Seul`` figures in its history so I wonder if Seul was mistaken as ``Sioux``? -- pronounced soo/sue. Such interesting learning experiences provided by beacon DXing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 20 at 1449: 15110, 14850 S3-S5, 13130 JBAC, 12020, 11460, 11440, 11170 Chinese, 11100 JBA carrier, 10920, 10160 S4-S7, 9660?, 9230 JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 21 at 1341-1352, not in the order logged: 9200 S9/+10, 10820 S3-S5, 10870 S4-S7, 11150 S4-S6, 11440 S9/+10, 11460 & 12800 JBAC, 12820 S7-S8, 12880 S9/+10, 13130 S4-S6 vs CODAR, 13160 S7-S9, 13835, 14850 S3-S7, 15130, 15165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6012-6048, Aug 20 at 0545, noise jamming against no Martí audible out to plus/minus 18 kHz range from very strong center 6030. Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Something`s always wrong at RHC: extremely distorted spurblobs out of 13700 transmitter, more than usual, 14 of them, Aug 21 at 1352-1401, approx., stronger closer ones spreading up to 10 kHz wide tuned in FM mode always with F# tone, not in the order logged: 13172 & 13235 traces, 13298, 13365, 13432, 13502, 13569 & 13632 S9+10; 13767 S9+10, 13832 S9, 13900 S4-S5, 13966 S5-S6, 14033 S3, 14098-trace, the last two intruding into 20m hamband; at 63-68 kHz intervals. Except for the trace ones, some program modulation could be heard on all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Aug 20 at 0102 check, WRNO still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. JBA MW carrier search of 9-kHz frequencies, Aug 20 at 0617: only 711, 846 and 1071. 846 no doubt regular Kiritimati but never with audio; 711 Cuba or Morocco barely? 1071 intriguing with no Europeans more than 10 kW, no NZ/Australians more than 5. Several ME/Africans but too daytime. Of course there`s that megawatt in India, but way too early for that. Note that het/carriers 1 kHz off 10 kHz frequencies are often easier to detect than further in between with lots of splash from both sides (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. JBA MW carrier search Aug 21 at 0550: 621, 846, 882, 1125 with two beating. Presumed Canary, Kiritimati; 882 has another low-powered Canarian; and 1125 several low-powered continental Spaniards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
