Glenn Hauser logs August 5, 2020

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, August 5 at 1421, JBA or JBA carriers: 13130, 12820, 12550, 12500, 11150, 11120 S1-S5, 11070, 10870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Aug 5 at 2305 JBM music at S9-S5, the CRI ``Portuguese`` relay filled by music-only; much weaker than RHC itself on 13740. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7380, Aug 5 at 2306, no signal from RHC English to Africa, but 5040 English to Carib is audible VP in noise. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 5 at 2308, RHC Spanish with very distorted music at S9+20; at least no spurs this time. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Wed Aug 5 at 2215 I am all set to hear another `Letterbox` on VOT, but there is no signal, nothing but NSS RTTY. Last week anyhow host said would be back in two weeks, but that has often proven to be mistaken. Now will have to try to catch it at 0315 Aug 6 on 7275; or podcast; or Sat/UT Sun repeats at same times. Today`s podcast is not yet available but should become at:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2045 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday August 5 starting at 2100:27 on WBCQ 7490v, poor/fair S2-S6. Next: 0100 UT Thursday  WRMI 7780 to NE [if back on air by now]

New WOR 2046 should be ready by early UT Friday August 7 for first WRMI broadcast at 2200 on 9955.

** U S A. 7780 & 9955, Aug 5 at 2100 no signals from these WRMIs, supposed to be on now, the former with a non-WOR broadcast, while 9395 & 9455 are nominal; 2303 recheck, 7780 still off, 9955 on vs jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, August 5 at 0620, R. Vanuatu YL talking, intonation seems English but could be Bislama, and good modulation, better signal than usual, S5-S6; 0628 music, 0630 ID as ``Radio Vanuatu`` --- so for hard-liners insisting on a ``definite ID``, I have now heard one on this third harmonic of 3945. Might have been readable were it not for heavy storm noise from SW Kansas approaching us. Also trace of modulation on much weaker 7890 second harmonic, but as expected nothing audible on 15780 fourth harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
