Glenn Hauser logs September 21-22, 2020

 ** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 22 at various chex 0056/0400 on TWR Bonaire SDR, no signal again tonight from anonymous missionary station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9865, Sept 21 at 2341, Asian? music, S7-S6 with flutter up/down in strength and also sidewise in frequency, i.e. Doppler from near trans-polar path. Could AIR Vividh Bharati service be back? No, it`s CRI Chinese via Urumqi, land of Chicom imperialist brainwashing of native Uyghurs, scheduled this hour, and Bengaluru not until later if at all.

[non]. 7295, Sept 21 at 2355 YL song, then Chinese announcement over, S8/S9+10, and by golly it`s // 9865. This too is CRI but via MALI just about to end its broadcast day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 5009.923, Sept 22 at 0241, JBA carrier, no doubt RNM always off-minus, now that WRMI has finished with 5010 at 0230* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4000-USB, Sept 22 at 0005, AAR5ED calling AAR5EZ, in a MARS net on a frequency barely outside the ham band as long as there is no LSB like the hams. I suppose a ham could really use 4000-LSB. More traffic and weak contacts follow, lingo like ``wilco``. Googling on call AAR5EZ, I get no significant hits; on AAR5ED I get nine, two of which lead to my own significant previous log of *2017y*:

``5394.5-USB, Feb 23 at 1351, MARS net with abbr`d calls 5AP, 5BR, 5PM/T, and finally a full call AAR5ED but unheard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8764-USB, Sept 21 at 2344, Tropical Depression Beta marine weather info, but you better know your geographic coördinates to make any sense of it. Almost the only voice to be heard in this entire MHz. EiBi shows this is NMG, USCG New Orleans until 2350.

8502-USB, Sept 21 at 2349, marine weather for Bahamas, North Atlantic coördinates, but exactly same synthom voice as on 8764, to which I compare it -- by golly, they are // within a reverb or maybe less with different DSP on two receivers, also NMG? No this one is NMN, USCG Chesapeake VA, also until 2350, now both stations re Atlantic. I didn`t realize different USCG sites were linked for simulcasts, as each would have its own prime coverage area. 8502 is slightly weaker, S9+10 vs 8764 at S9+20; and both with some overmodulation distortion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday September 22 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+20 at Virginia SDR; earlier check direct at 0050 was S8/+10.

Also confirmed UT Tue Sept 22 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9+20 at Bonaire; I listen to whole thing in background and it is not interrupted at 0350 like happened last week. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday  WRMI 7780 to NE
