Glenn Hauser logs September 23-24, 2020

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 24 at 0138, again no signal from anonymous missionary station, at Caribbean Netherlands SDR. But there is a JBA signal showing on the AMSynch as carrier varying around -29 Hz, just right for R. San Antonio, Perú as previously measured on 4939.971 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 600, Sept 23 from 2350, dominant signal at TWR Bonaire SDR is Radio Libertad, HJHJ, Barranquilla, with usual preacher? or advisor? soon giving phone number several times, 304-531-6140, copied for sure. Googling that goes nowhere except maybe West Virginia, for which 304 is the area code: I think not. No known international country code 304. Also mentions Maranoa, but searching on that leads only to a region in SE Queensland, Australia: I think not. 

Rebelde Cuba maybe the understation. Before hourtop 2359 full ID for Radio Libertad, HJHJ and *disclaimer* that following program does not reflect editorial opinions of that station. Into VOA relay, but starting with announcement about it being on HJHJ. Not hearing any jammer from Venezuela yet, as had been reported. 0030 Sept 24, break for HJHJ ID, ``enlace con la Voz de América`` --- this is so smooth I suspect it not be a live feed, but produced in HJHJ studio from previously accessed podcasts. Rebelde in background // 710 via Key West SDR. Recheck 0125 about the same (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. VOA relay on 600: see COLOMBIA

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday September 23 from 2100:17 on WBCQ 7490.0, VP S5-S6 in noise level. Frequency has been adjusted; it was long about 7490.06, yesterday 7490.02. I check during Turner at 0145 Sept 24 a Rochester KiwiSDR which has SynchAM showing carrier varying slightly at minus 25 Hz, i.e. 7489.975v, almost on spot.

Also confirmed UT Thu Sept 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9+10 direct but more undermodulated than usual, a strain to copy. 0126 check via UTwente, also undermodulated, but not such a problem at a tolerable steady S9+10. Final SW airing of this edition. New WOR 2053 should be ready by early UT Fri Sept 25 for first broadcasts on WRMIs at 0130 on 5010, 5850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA [non]. VOA relay on 600: see COLOMBIA
