** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 21 at 1540 check, no signal of LRA36 into Brasil SDR, so apparently no Wednesday show this week, having specialized on Tuesday. Now for Saturday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13605, Oct 21 at 1655, Radio Martí is still on the air, altho hardly audible last night on, 7, 6 or 5 MHz channels. VG, and way above jamming now, if any; cannot really hear any nor on // 11860, 11930.

11930, Oct 21 at 1657, Radio Martí has more QRM from a second weaker broadcaster making a SAH of about 8 Hz, than from any jamming. This would be its only other competitor for 11930, Voice of TURKEY also in Spanish! at 1630-1728, 500 kW due west from Emirler, intended for España only. Furthermore, from it I hear a 5+1 timesignal at 1700, the last pip prolonged at same pitch, but not prepared to rate it vs WWV.

Has Cuban jamming been eliminated or reduced? At 2015 check, RM is still very strong on 11930, 11860, 9535; but a bit of jamming under is JBA during pauses. No RM DRM noise to be heard on 7340-7345-7450. Is that experiment over? As in a previous report, 7345 is still registered in B-20 but as analog, like many other HFCC errors(?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 17880, Oct 21 at 1651, very slow Chinese at S7-S9; must be language lesson in CRI Arabic service concluding this hour via Bamako, 100 kW at 20 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

New WOR 2057 should be ready by early UT Fri Oct 23 for first broadcast at 0130 on WRMI 5850, 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Re: ``17775-, Oct 20 at 1410, zero signal from KVOH if on. If KVOH do make it to Caribbean, South America, these should squeeze:...`` --- Ray Robinson of KVOH replies:

``Hi, Glenn. KVOH was streaming only on Oct 20, and was off air on 17775 due to a staffing issue. Should be back tomorrow. Ray.``

Wolfgang Buschel replies: ``Checked on Oct 21 in 14-15 UT time range. Nothing observed in Perseus SDR rx Net here in Europe, in D__, SUI, AUT, HNG, U.K. countries - etc. Only:

17770.012 kHz nearby adjacent channel TURKEY TRT Emirler in Arabic, S=9+25dB in sidelobe into Germany, But in Cape Canaveral Florida SDR rx installation: USA {Alta California, former MEX}

17774.993 kHz KVOH Spanish program, some smooth canciones at 1446 UT on Oct 21. Each sideband strong 60 Hertz main power buzz string visible. But audio nicely listenable of approx. 9 kHz wide audio block.

At 15 UT, VoA Hausa via Santa Maria di Galeria - Vatican State, started at poor S=5 -97dBm level. 73 wolfie  df5sx wwdxc germany``

I am not sure what he means by the last item, which frequency? no such scheduling, only BBC Hausa via Ascension 17780 at 1400-1430 only.

17775-, Oct 21 at 1650, I do have KVOH in Spanish, only S6-S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
