Glenn Hauser logs August 31, 2021

** BRAZIL. 11815.032, Aug 31 at 0615, music at S2-S4, presumed R. Brasil Central typically askew as in Brasil private SWBCs are required to run significantly off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Aug 31 at 0608, humbuzz atop undermodulated English.. Something`s always wrong at shameless RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7157 & 7215, Aug 31 at 0609, wall-of-noise Cuban jamming which they keep running against nothing on these particular 40m ham frequencies and no others, why? Nor is there any conceivable broadcaster attracting jamming anytime on 7215. Unlike previously, however, there is no jamming against vacant OCB frequencies above 7300; but there is on 9565, where Radio Martí quits at 2400*. Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Tuesday Aug 1 at 1525, Kashmir Civitas in Urdu talk but some English words: ``red light area`` and 1527 again mentions ``red light`` twice. Wonder what that`s about? Also mentioned ``Jammu & Kashmir``. Chopped off at 1529* still talking, no postlude of IRRS songs in English this week. Programmers don`t seem to appreciate necessity for accurate timing. Last Tuesday I missed checking this weekly 1500 broadcast via ROMANIA after having heard it every week since it started. This week reception via UTwente is much worse than usual; instead of loud & clear solid, it`s S7-S8 and ``hollow`` sounding. K-index now only 1, but G1 minor storms predicted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, UT Tue Aug 31 at 0148, only pirate activity is here, S9/+10 with classical music, believe it or not! 0151 ID as Mix Radio International, more classical. I keep listening in astonishment, as most pirates avoid classical like the plague. But MRI after all is ``mixed`` and have broadcast various genres before. Let us say these are ``popular classics``, war horses of tuneful recognizability. At 0258 going from ``Deutschland ueber Alles`` to the VVV opening of Beethoven`s Fifth.

At 0205 I switch from own rx to remote in Maryland which is getting it equally well at S9/+10; 0206 another ID but music unseems named. I suspect there be some repetition before it`s all over, but haven`t kept track of individual pieces. No announcements at all heard in final hour to sesquihour, abruptly off at end of final piece at 0340*.

Many other reports here starting at 2214 August 30, all classical: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,85786.0.html I am pleased to see positive comments from other listeners, perhaps encouraging more of this from MRI or others. Some comment on the wideband audio, but on the KiwiSDR I find plenty of highs, sorely lacking in bass response if not bass transmission; rather tinny; no equalizer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 14322.5-USB, Aug 31 at 1907, JBA ``International Bible Study Net`` announcing this frequency, later CQs, apparently trouble rounding up students. Can`t copy the NCS call, never foneticized. I`ll bet only welcomed are those accepting as a given that it`s the Undisputed Holy Word of the Christian God; which version? No real challenging (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2101 monitoring; next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Thanks this week to Dan in Cincinnati, who says, ``Dear Glenn, I am writing to thank you again for all of the great information that you gather and report weekly`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 15610, Aug 31 at 1903, no signal from WEWN English, scheduled to start at *1900; nor yesterday, I think, nor night frequency 9385. Now neighbor 15825 WWCR at similar megameter distance achieves S8-S9, and 15770 WRMI too.

12050, Aug 31 at 1957, at first hear non-Spanish, must be Ndarason in Kanuri via Woofferton at 19-21, then CCI WEWN Spanish making >1 Hz SAH; WEWN Spanish night frequency 5970 has been reliable. Some weeks ago, WEWN tried 12040 instead, but back to 12050 since KSDA is already on 12040 for one semihour at 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 870, Aug 31 at 0119 UT, WWL New Orleans with storm coverage vs the Cuban whooper. I think WWL is running lowered power, as it`s incomparable e.g. to neighbors on 860 & 880. This makes sense since they must be relying on generator. 10 or even 5 kW should be enough to cover the disaster area; and who cares about skywave?

Website is certainly current in more ways than one, hosted somewhere with electrical fluid. I can`t find anything about technical issues, nor even a list of all the FMs allegedly carrying WWL at least on HD2. But they do plug ``WWL HD2`` which you can hear online; who cares about OTA FM? As if it were separately programed, but totally unclear about that. During the emergency, likely a single stream on all possible outlets. Not to be confused with Audacity, sounds like ``odyssey``:

https://www.audacy.com/wwl

As for the QubaRM, IIRC, WWL was among many major US MW stations that the USG took over for VOA Spanish during the 1962 Missile Crisis; so maybe the Commies have not forgotten certain frequencies worth jamming, just in case!

Meanwhile press about the NO/LA radio situation, via Artie Bigley: https://radioinsight.com/headlines/212313/wzrh-kvdu-tower-destroyed-by-hurricane-ida/

I also find these:

and Terry L Krueger, Niceville FL panhandle has just reported in GMT:

``870 LOUISIANA WWL New Orleans 0826 8/29/21. Excellent live and local coverage with Hurricane Ida coverage, but sadly, terrible interference from co-channel Radio Reloj, Cuba with exceptionally terrible voltage wobbling noise and -- even more sinful -- WPWT, Colonial Heights, TN (C&W "96-3 The Possum"), a D1 that constantly runs 10,000 watts overnights. Recheck pre-sunrise on 8/30, WWL is much weaker. Still audible daytime though poor in local noise. The only other New Orleans-proper licensed station audible is 1280 kc/s WODT, which on 8/29 was blindly running Black Information Network feed, but on 8/30 at least was airing local coverage under the BIN branding. KLEB Golden Meadow 1600 kc/s (in the bullseye of Hurricane Irma) was noted pre-sunrise 8/29 but with the usual Blues/Cajun music. So far, I haven't traced their signal since but inconclusive`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Radio Nord Revival on shortwave next weekend

We will be on the air 0700-1900 UTC both Saturday and Sunday on 91,9 MHz from the fortress and on 6035 kHz from a new location: Julita, by the lake Hjälmaren (power 1 kW)

Latest QSL news from RFA

Just a few short notes from all of us at RFA:

1. We removed the map, with pins, from our Automated Reception Report System (ARRS) at http://techweb.rfa.org so we can eventually update it.

That page needed an update for a while and we're currently looking at what Google, Amazon Web Services, and others may provide.

There is no target date yet but we will let you know when we are ready to add the map feature back to RFA's ARRS.

2. The pandemic continues to hamper our ability to confirm reception reports quickly. Instead of days or weeks, it now takes months before we get to most RRs. Please be patient but also feel free to write us at qsl@rfa.org to follow up on any RFA reception reports you've sent, but have gone months without hearing from us.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

You received this email because you expressed interest in RFA's QSL cards. Please let us know if you prefer to be removed from our distribution list.

Best wishes; stay healthy.

Glenn Hauser logs August 29-30, 2021

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Aug 30 at 1447, no signal from CHR Trenton Military VOLMET; nor on numerous other random daytime chex, tho still active on 6754-USB night channel. Propagation has been pitiful, but now I *am* getting 14670-RCUSB, CHU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Aug 30 at 1445, S6/S9 dead air from RHC; meanwhile, modulating to various degrees on 15230, 15140, 11760, 9710, 9535, and by 1450 also resumed on 13700. Meanwhile, no spurblobs out of that now, nor for quite a while, last caught on July 8 at +/- 62 kHz, etc.; surely they will eventually erupt again. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CZECHIA [non]. 15770, Sunday August 29 at 2135, very nice classical music on harp -- could this WRMI be an Encore encore? S9+20 better than usual here off the side. No, it`s R. Prague in French. Seems both the English and French services play classical on Sundays, this one concluding with giveaway `Moldau` at 2157 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, Mon Aug 30 at 1745, I`m checking whether IRRS still be on air from 1800, as it was missing on Sat Aug 28 when WOR should have aired. Via UTwente, at first I hear Russian, which is Iran scheduled until 1750. Also the constant RTTY warble on plus side only. 1748 another carrier on? Iran soon disappears but no formal closing heard; uncovers even weaker CNR China. *1755 stronger OC with hum, S9+25 in Synch mode, presumed BULGARIA; a few seconds before 1800, no Aïda theme at all but quick IRRS sign-on with phone number, falsely claiming to be in reduced-carrier USB; and right into a gospel huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11940, Aug 30 at 2157, this REE frequency for S America is still AWOL. The other three continue past 2200 joining for English, VG 17855, 15520, 11670 in decreasing order via Maryland SDR. Justin Coe does news first about Spain`s de-involvement in Afghanistan; to be followed by folk musician Eliseo Parra. The music finally starts at 2215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 30 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air today! VG into Maryland SDR. But I`m listening to Spain until its English be over at 2230; more than second half of VOT hours are mostly good Turkish music fill, with interruptions such as the 2-minute multilingual ID reel --- which could be a learning experience if they would label each one in English. It`s hard for us to differentiate the various Turkic languages. 2346 already signing off English with convoluted English schedule, then IS keeps on and on until 2256 starts interspersing German IDs. 2259 quick break in transmission probably when the sleepyrator thinx they are turning it off, but right back on, 2300 timesignal and opening spurious German hour, not with news but historical talk about Atatürk, who was too secular for Erdogan; and other features, still on past 2320 with web address, much more music; 2325 another talk, briefly about Olympix, 2327 ID like in English ``VOT with you everywhere``, song starts until finally abrupt chopoff at 2329*! Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; extra German probably had more listener in Oklahoma than at 1-1:30 am in Zentral Europa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Aug 30 at 1444, K6FRC ID over and over from 1.8 milliwatt HIFER beacon in Patterson CA. Check for it almost every day in bandscan, only heard around this time, and last logged July 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2101 monitoring: confirmed Sunday August 29 at 2000 on IRRS Shortwave via AM Italia, 918 kHz, VG S9+33 into nearby Noale SDR. So this is still funxioning if SW 7290 is not, Saturdays at 1800. See also ITALY [non].

Missed checking Sunday Aug 29 at 2230 on WRMIs 9955 and new 7780: did
anyone hear them?!

Also confirmed UT Monday Aug 30 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20/30.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 30 at 0130 on WRN webcast to North America.

Confirmed replaced by something else Mon Aug 30 at 0230 on WRMIs 7780 & 5800.

NOT confirmed on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-, UT Mon Aug 30 at 0300, as that WBCQ is OFF the air. I believe I had noticed it on air an hour or two before. 4790 is also off now but the other BCQs remain on: 3265, 7490 and 9330. No lightning around Monticello now. WOR is running on Area 51 webcast, checked 0317 at midpoint. And by 0351, 6160 is back on with HRI, and 4790 with BS. At 0412, 6160 is still playing A51 music as on webcast. Would have been nice if WOR could have run then instead. Last week`s WOR on 6160 was also curtailed. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Thanks this week to Dan in Cincinnati, who says, ``Dear Glenn, I am writing to thank you again for all of the great information that you gather and report weekly`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. As Hurricane Ida hits New Orleans and knocks out all power, about time to check whether 7505 WRNO can be on the air from *0100; it`s anyway erratic without storms. 0120 next check: WRNO is absent, surprise2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 870, Aug 30 0042-0050+ UT, no signal from WWL New Orleans. CNN has also just reported that the entire city is without power - but you`d think this vital station would have backup generators, contingency plans. A rare chance to DX something else on 870? But 0122 next check: WWL is back on with callers, serenaded by the Cuban whooper. Later ToH legal ID includes a bunch of HD2s on FM stations; wish I could copy all. So AM 870 is RRRR = really rather redundant radio? Still WWL 870 is the place for NOLA news in the aftermath if you can get it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040, another anomaly at 0040-0044+ UT Aug 30, strongest signal on 1040 is dead air, looping from the direxion of WHO Des Moines. 0122 next check: 1040 WHO is remodulating with talk show (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, August 30 at 0531, early enough that not everything has faded out yet: 621, 711, 747(2), 774-, 846=Kiritimati?, 882, 1107, 1125, 1503(2).

1503 is especially intriguing: WRTH shows two low-power RNE5 Spain of 2 and 5 kW; beyond that, 25 kW inactive Egyptian on the dayside; not to mention 1 kWs Bosnia and UK. Maybe not too early for 2.5/5 kW NZers? (2) means at least two carriers beating.

Notable for its absence now and for some months is a carrier on 936 kHz, which would hold up later than most of Europe and was assumed to be the 200 kW in Agadir, Morocco. I last logged it Jan 24 & 27, and Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal reported on May 31, ``711 and 936 outlets off the air``. In MW Circle, Aug 30, John Hoad in Canary Islands, says, ``more recently Morocco 936 kHz has gone. 73 John, Playa Blanca Lanzarote``. Jorge Garzón Gutiérrez "IberiaDX", 39698 Santiurde de Toranzo (ESPAÑA - SPAIN), replies, ``Hi John, I have 936 al-Amazighia (MRC) last record on May 2021. Did you listen to later than this? Maybe is not active since then? ¡Gracias!``. Furthermore, I am not hearing once-reliable Algerians on 531, 891 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6910-USB, Aug 29 at 2330, JBA contact sounds like MARS or some mily/govt net, NCS503 calling NN6GT, not sure of second call`s prefix; partially foneticized. Preceded and followed by much louder beepery, perhaps SSTV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

first visible in C2 LASCO imagery at 23/0648 UTC. Region 2859 (N16,
L=11, class/area Dso/50 on 26 Aug) produced a C3.0 flare on 26/1818
UTC. A partial HALO CME associated with this event was observed in
LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 26/1900 UTC. This event was modeled
and expected to impact Earth on 30 Aug. Region 2860 (S29, L=01,
class/area Eki/340 on 28 Aug) produced an M4.7 flare at 28/0611 UTC
along with numerous C-class events. The M4 event was accompanied by
a 1 Normal optical flare and Type II radio emission (276 km/s). A
partial HALO CME was observed in coronagraph imagery in association
with this event beginning near 28/0648 UTC. This event was modeled
with an arrival on 01 Sep.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached
high levels on 28-29 Aug most likely due to influences from a CME
from 23 Aug. Normal to moderate levels were observed for the
remainder of the highlight period.

Geomagnetic field activity reached G1-Minor storm levels on 28 Aug,
and active levels on 27 Aug most likely due to influences from the
23 Aug CME. Total field reached 16 nT and Bz was at a negative 10-15
nT for several hours after CME arrival. The rest of the highlight
period was at quiet to unsettled levels with a nominal solar wind.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
30 August - 25 September 2021

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels from 30 Aug - 03
Sep with Region 2860 rotating off the visible disk on 04 Sep.
Moderate levels are also likely on 16-25 Sep as Region 2860 rotates
back onto the visible disk. Very low levels are expected on 04-15
Sep.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at moderate to high levels on 30 Aug - 05 Sep due to
CME influences. Normal to moderate levels are expected on 06-25 Sep.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at G1-Minor storm
levels on 30 Aug and 01 Sep due to influences from the CMEs from 26
and 28 Aug, respectively. Unsettled to active levels are expected on
02-03 Sep, 11-12 Sep, and 21 Sep all due to recurrent CH HSS
influences. Quiet to unsettled levels are expected for the remainder
of the outlook period.

Glenn Hauser logs August 28-29, 2021

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5950, Sat Aug 28 at 2200, `Encore` classical music via WRMI is mistakenly playing the 21/8 episode per the Playlist; but next airing UT Sun Aug 29 at 0100 on 5850 & 7780 is correct 28/8 edition; unfortunately simul with another TRSW Euro relay, non-classical, on 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2101 monitoring: confirmed UT Sun Aug 29 at 0030 on WRMI 5950, S9+15/25 via Knoxville SDR: last time for this airing, to be replaced by something else next week.

Also confirmed UT Sun Aug 29 at 0347 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 14 minutes into so started circa 0333, good but with storm noise despite none nearby to neighbor SDR. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy
2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [NEW]
2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW
0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE [canceled]
0300vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA

Thanks this week to Dan in Cincinnati, who says, ``Dear Glenn, I am writing to thank you again for all of the great information that you gather and report weekly`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 14325-USB, Aug 28 at 2302, Hurricane Watch Net, no contacts heard, but K2JB is reading some warnings; says will also be active on 7268[LSB] tomorrow at 8 am CDT = 13 UT; but at 0018 UT Aug 29, the latter is certainly active too with Ida advisories, as heard via Knoxville SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12788, 8502, 4316, Aug 28 at 2145, attempts to monitor USCG New Orleans, NMG as scheduled per EiBi at 2130-2145: nothing.

4318 approx., Aug 29 at 0630, fax at S9+10/20, NMG scheduled 0600-0855.

12788-USB, Aug 29 at 1749, S3-S5 into Knoxville SDR, with fadeouts, marine weather about tropical storms in Atlantic, waves starting off W Africa. Obs mostly longitude 50 or less, nothing to do with Hurricane Ida. NMG N.O. sked at 1715-1750. 1752 robotic voice with Norfolk address, originating there? 1753 finally mentions Ida landfall briefly, on to Juliet; ``This is US Coast Guard Communications Command, out out`` and off 1755.5* = 5.5 minutes later than sked. No individual station ID. Recheck at 1823, fax beepery approx. 12790 as sked 1800-2105 for NMG. Nothing ever audible on 8502 or 4316 and suspect not really on air in daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 870, Aug 29 at 0638 UT, WWL New Orleans apparently live with calls about Hurricane Ida; Cuban whoop-whoop QRM comes and goes, usually JBA underneath but some surges. Of course, WWL is easily the dominant signal here, scarcely one megameter away. It will be interesting to hear whether it be knocked off the air, not to mention WRNO 7505, which is anyway erratic; check at 0100-0400.

Many listeners afar have complained about whooping: apparently a very much-out-of-order Cuban transmitter rather than deliberate jamming, and similars have shown up on other frequencies. WRTH 2021 has three R Relojes on 870, 10 kW each at Bueycito, Granma, and Baracoa-Van Van, Guantánamo; 1 kW at Sancti-Spíritus, S.S. The first two are in eastern Cuba while S.S. is in central Cuba, more likely to be the whooper except it`s lowest-powered. IF this info be correct, current.

Terry Krueger`s Cubalist has not been updated in exactly 5 years; back then, it showed on 870 one Reloj in S.S.; the Baracoa Reloj on 860 instead; R. Progreso also on 870 in S.S. per WRTH 1997; and a Progreso in Pilón, Granma. DXers closer to north of Cuba ought to be able to get DF bearing on the whooper, from which part of the Great Antille? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Aug 29 at 0020, WTWW-2 $tereo webcast of TOUTA is already underway; in fact wrapping up at 0025 with `Mr Sandman` until 0027, back to Ted`s hard-sell commercials. Must have started very early circa 2356 Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

only S=6-7 signal and noisy of -83 to -93dBm on SDR unit Kiwi_net at Delhi-IND, Bandung-INS, Novosibirsk-RUS, or Hanoi VTN.

MGLOB Talata Volonondry Madagascar relay facility or ENC brokery

need more research into which frequencies, which time of day in the Burmese SoEastAsia target area, under the decreasing of daylight in September and October on the northern half of the earth and the availability of (Chinese made) small shortwave receiver devices in Myanmar are to be tangible and available to the broad masses to influence the burmese media scene by NUG-Myanmar.

Wolfgang Bueschel observations

NEW ZEALAND/USA  13840 / 13845 kHz as neighbours of 4978 Hertz distance in A-21.
 
An observer with good SDR display VISIBILITY of few Hertz spacing has clearly an ADVANTAGE. Why does NZ_PACIFIC have to position 5 kHz BELOW 13845 kHz WWCR fq request?
 
On Aug 26, 27, and 28 noted
13840.009 kHz R NZ Pacific Rangitaiki, S=7-8 at 22.49 and 00.49 UT.
 
On Aug 28
13844.987 kHz also few Hertz odd fq of WWCR Nashville TN, religious talk at 22.53 UT.
 
Also noted
KOREA Dem.Peoples Republic  13760.211 Voice of Korea Kujang towards western Europe, Iberian peninsula at 325 degr azimuth, S=7 in Edmonton, Alberta at 22.45 UT on Aug 28.
 
13870even NPG US Navy digital signal S=7-8 at 22.26 UT, and covered by CODAR like screen wiper sound too.
 
 
There are a lot of 22 meterband shortwave channels empty during US night time ... why this crowd jostling?  WWCR uses that 13845 channel for decades now.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat Aug 28 at 1454 check via Campo SDR Brasil, still no signal from LRA36 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8503 approx., Aug 28 at 1910, via Missouri SDR, warbling sound, presumably NMG USCG New Orleans with fax as now sked in EiBi. Alternates with voice transmissions: all ears on that for Hurricane Ida info. Complete NMG listings from EiBi: Identical times for all three, altho one might assume 4 at night only, 12 at day only:

8502, 12788, 4316, voice in English, presumably USB, UT:

0600-0855
1200-1505 also 17146.4
1800-2105 also 17146.4
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2101 monitoring: confirmed Saturday August 28 from 1800:33 on IRRS SW via Italia AM, 918 kHz, VG S9+22 into nearby Noale SDR. As usual, playing `Aïda` march theme from before 1759, quick ID and then WOR --- BUT simulmonitoring 7290 via UTwente, NO IRRS SIGNAL from Bulgaria at start nor past 1830, just that weak Chinese before 1800, its ToH timesignal, and a few more minutes, vs RTTY warbling on the plus side. I let 7290 run the entire semihour in case it cut on; there were one or two blips which might have been attempts, or more likely, QRM.

Also confirmed Sat Aug 28 from 1950 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, VG S9+8 into nearby SDR. Next:

0030 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 [final, replaced next week]
0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0430]
2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy

Thanks this week to Dan in Cincinnati, who says, ``Dear Glenn, I am writing to thank you again for all of the great information that you gather and report weekly`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12160, Sat Aug 28 at 1728, the last minutes of scratchy lo-fi ancient record or cylinder music, no closing announcement, just quick WWCR ID and intro a Nashville gospel huxter. `The Talking Machine Show`, misnamed as most of the old recordings are music, not talk! scheduled 1700 UT Saturdays. I search the latest, Aug 1, WWCR skedgrids and do not find *any* other time for it now! Used to fill several slots, and I do mean fill, subject to time being sold off. Perhaps the only WWCR program worth listening to, certainly the only one itself produces, i.e. by engineer Phil Patton. 12160 at midday here one megameter away usually provides a VG signal, like today S9+10/20.

There also used to be another similar show but can`t remember the name and don`t see any sign of it on sked either, tsk2. O, maybe this be it, from Alan Roe`s latest, July, Music Programmes on Shortwave --- `Last Radio Playing`, Wed 23-24 UT on 6115, only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1110 kHz, Aug 28 at 0646 UT, `C2CAM` has been discussing SW numbers stations on KFAB Omaha, which is normally a loud & clear affiliate to here, but now I am also hearing a weak pre-echo. C2CAM affiliate list shows three others: KBND in Oregon, but it`s direxional west into Pacific at night; KAOI in Hawaii, ND but doesn`t start until 0800; and WBT Charlotte NC, of course the latter despite its two major 50 kW night lobes to the NE and south, very little thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Media & Tech - 28/08/2021

Nuova attivazione in onde medie in Italia

Segnalata una nuova accensione a 1278 kHz, presumibilmente nel padovano, al momento in onda soltanto una sequenza musicale senza alcuna identificazione. Sempre nella giornata di oggi è stata notata un'emittente con contenuti religiosi a 801 kHz in zona Pescara, potrebbe quindi trattarsi di Radio Luce che è già attiva anche sui 1485 kHz

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7780 // 5800, UT Sat Aug 28 at 0200, WRMIs with another TRSW relay of a European low power, this one licensed on 6020, Radio Delta International. Publicity continues to overlook 7780. Both are S9+10/20 here but not unnoisy. Starts with a bit of YROT theme, Second Mate Susan ID, Cap`n Ric introducing RDI. Starts with RDI`s very own theme song with Dutch lyrix including kilohertz. 0204 greeting from Andy in Switzerland, and someone else, presumably listeners rather than Deltans. 0213 QSL address as radiodelta@icloud.com --- then I realise I am missing the Wiener Philharmoniker Summer Night Concert, on PBS! Over to OETA on RF 13 for my attention, undivided except for stereo to one ear each. I`ll have to catch the repeat 3 hours later for the first part. Great music, and scenery, but still hard to spot the token females in the orchestra (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Fri Aug 27 at 2355 checking all WBCQs via Maryland remote: 3265 is on and poorly audible with gospel huxter, seems // 7490. 4790 with TOMBS. 6160 with Area 51, Amos `n` Andy? 9330 with WLCR. Then I axually listen to `AAAWWW` on 7490 webcast, where already at 2359, Allan does not realize his mike is open as he exclaims about some tone we`re hearing, as FKB gospel huxter is wrapping, and as they are setting up for the live show to follow. As soon as that`s underway, UT Sat Aug 28 at 0000 with WTO theme I recheck all the lower 4 SW frequencies and indeed they have united.

Cold wave has hit Maine, from 88 F yesterday, it`s 58 today. Complaining about all broadcasting on the way out, everything to The Cloud; complaining about ``gendering``, people objecting to being classified as male or female. Angela reminds us that she is convinced Trump is really still president. WBCQ has enemies who don`t like WLCR or TOMBS, but they ``will be crushed``.

0026 says new tube is in -- or rather, on the way; hope to get the SuperStition back on at full 500 kW ``within days``. 0028 call from Annoying Freddie in Massachusetts, about drinking on the air. It seems Angela has a small? bottle of wine, and they attempt a toast over the phone. Quadricasting tonight. The SS transmitter is a Continental 420D, right? What about the warranty on the tube? he asks. But C`l do not make that component. Allan says they are ``working on it``, the warranty issue. How much does it cost, $100K? Much more than that, like for a house. $200K? Even more than that, but will not say how much now.

Datestamp: 27th of August, YOOLF 2021. 0035 caller from Durango, Colorado with reception report, 7490 poor but best as to be expected. 0037 call from Jason in Nova Scotia, implying he will visit in person? Someone sent quotation from Thomas Paine, about ``trying men`s souls`` and how that may apply to current events. TANSTAAFL. 0045 Jason calls back to greet Angela after she complained about being ignored.

``We have enemies who don`t like Worlds Last Chance or Brother Stair --- very sick and deranged people``. He seems to think they are behind the FCC/WHRI SNAFU. 0048 Tim in Connecticut thankfully briefly, and as someone pointed out always happens, the stream craps out at 0053. I get it started again. 0055 to read email, nothing significant. 0059 prayer, that the Lord must have a great sense of humor, and ``please cleanse this world of virus``, etc. [? why didn`t He stop it in the first place??], 0101 joins Hal Turner a minute late as usual. Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's AAWWW --- Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Allan is taking about Angela being naked in the studio. Also complaining about the temperature as it's now 58 degrees at the station. Then talk of people wanting to do away with TV and radio and put everything on the cloud. Then talk about the war concerning gender talk. Was also announced that the new tube for the superstation is on its way to Maine. Phone call at 0027 from Freddie who is off the phone in a short time. Phone call at 0035 with a reception report from an old listener. Phone call at 0037 from a listener asking about the other frequencies they're using tonight. Allan then reads something that was sent to the station last week by a listener and written by Thomas Paine. Phone call at 0048 from Tim who manages to turn a pleasant non political show political as usual. Finally off the phone Tim calls back immediately to make a point and then off the phone again. Reading of emails at 0056 and closing prayer at 0059. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Propagation News – 29 August 2021

We had another week with a quiet Sun, but it wasn’t as settled as you might think. Yes, the solar flux index was in the low- to-mid-80s, but the Sun started to get very active. The first event on Sunday saw a prominence eruption off the west limb that flung a coronal mass ejection, or CME, into space. Another eruption near active region 2859 also launched a large amount of plasma into space, but luckily it was not headed towards Earth. So, by Thursday, we had two large sunspot groups visible, with perhaps region 2860 looking more and more active as it grows. Any potential CME activity occurring as a result of any solar flare this weekend will likely end up hitting the Earth.

DX was a little sparse, but there were some nuggets to be had. Josep, EA3BT, on holiday in Tanzania, was workable on 15m as 5I3B . And Pasi, OJ0W, on Market Reef, supplied CW QSOs for many stations on a mix of bands including 80 metres. Gary, G0FWX on the 10 metre UK Net Facebook group reported hearing Australia on 10m FT8 last week. Gary said: “I started working VKs in the middle of September on SSB last year, but this is a good sign”.

Next week, NOAA predicts the solar flux index will be in the mid-70s with mainly settled geomagnetic conditions. Friday the third is the exception, when the Kp index is set to rise to four.

Maximum usable frequencies are starting to rise a little thanks to seasonal changes, with 18MHz and even 21MHz often open during the daytime. These openings will likely firm up as we head towards mid-September and head into Autumn ionospheric conditions.

VHF and up:

High pressure looks very likely to dominate the weather charts for the coming week and will continue the Tropo-themed weather pattern of the last few days. Unlike Sporadic-E, Tropo tends to be long lasting, but is usually better overnight and across sea paths like the North Sea or across Biscay to Spain and beyond to EA8. Don’t forget to try modes other than FM and FT8, such as SSB or CW – and do call CQ if the band is quiet.

Sporadic-E itself is looking less exciting as we head to the end of the current summer season. Fleeting events can still happen, and 10m will carry the most traffic with just the odd foray onto 6m on a good day.

Meteor scatter via random meteors is usually at its best in August, so keep looking around dawn to benefit from the pre-dawn enhancement. This is caused by the day side of earth rotating into the flux of meteors in the orbital plane.

There is just one small meteor shower this week, peaking on the 1st of September. The Aurigids have a low Zenithal Hourly Rate of just six.

The Moon reaches apogee on Monday so path losses will be at their highest for the month. On the positive side, peak declination occurs on Thursday so we have high peak elevations over 60 degrees meaning less ground noise at VHF and long Moon visibility windows. (rsgb.org)

The K7RA Solar Update

Tad Cook, K7RA, Seattle, reports: Sun watchers saw no spotless days this week. Average daily sunspot numbers rose from 17.7 last week to 21.7 for the August 19 – 25 reporting week. Average daily solar flux increased from 73.8 to 78.5.

Geomagnetic indicators were quiet, with average daily planetary A index declining from 6.1 to 4.7, and average daily middle latitude A index dropping from 7.6 to 5.7.

We are less than one month away from the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere on Wednesday, September 22. On that day, both hemispheres will be bathed in equal measures of solar radiation, always a positive for HF propagation.

Predicted solar flux is 90 on August 27 – September 2; 85 on September 3; 73 on September 4 – 11; 74 on September 12 – 15; 76 on September 16 – 18; 77 on September 19 – 20; 76 on September 21; 75 on September 22 – 29, and 73 on September 30 – October 8.

Predicted planetary A index is 16, 12, 10, and 8 on August 27 – 30; 5 on August 31 – September 1; 8 and 12 on September 2 – 3; 5 on September 4 – 10; 10 and 8 on September 11 – 12; 5 on September 13 – 18; 8 on September 19 – 20; 15 and 10 on September 21 – 22; 7 on September 23 – 24; 5 on September 25 – 28; 8 and 12 on September 29 – 30, and 5 through the first week in October.

I find it encouraging that the above solar flux forecast from USAF and NOAA was revised upward over the past few days and that the sunspot number (47) on Thursday, August 26, was much higher than the average daily sunspot number (21.7) over the previous 7 days.

Here’s the geomagnetic activity forecast for August 27 – September 21, from F.K. Janda, OK1HH.

The geomagnetic field will be:

quiet on September 1, 5, 10, 14 – 18
quiet to unsettled on August 28, 31, September 2 – 4, 6 – 9, 19 – 20
quiet to active on August 29 – 30, September 11 – 13, 21
unsettled to active August (27)
active to disturbed, nothing predicted

Remarks: Parenthesis means lower probability of activity enhancement.

At 0839 UTC on August 26, the Australian Space Forecast Centre issued a geomagnetic warning.

“A weak, slow-moving CME [coronal mass ejection] associated with a disappearing solar filament on 23 August may have a glancing impact at Earth late on the UT day of 26 or into 27 August. Mildly elevated geomagnetic activity may occur following the impact. Another weak, slow-moving CME observed occurring toward the middle of the UT day on 24 August appears to be primarily eastward, although there is a chance it may also have a glancing impact at Earth during 27 August, potentially resulting in mildly elevated geomagnetic activity.”

Darrell Emerson, AA7FV wrote:

“I have a question about a possible 17-meter propagation anomaly between my location (AA7FV in Tucson, DM42pg, 32.3° N, 110.7° W) and the NCDXF beacon W6WX (CM97ae). According to QRZ.com, W6WX is at a bearing of 301° and 1,158 kilometers from AA7FV. Sunset at W6WX is 0249 UTC, and sunset at AA7FV is 0158 UTC.

“I have been using the program Faros to look at the propagation times from various NCDXF beacons. As you know, the NCDXF beacons are time-synchronized using GPS, and so by looking at the arrival times of transmissions from a given beacon, it is easily possible to distinguish between short-path and long-path propagation. This is what the program Faros does.

“As a check, here is data taken at the same time with the same setup on the beacon ZL6B, which shows no anomaly. You can see that I was receiving the beacon from about 0000 UTC until about 0430 UTC. The propagation delays line up precisely with the delay (about 39 ms) expected for short-path propagation. The expected long-path delay would be nearly 100 ms, but no signals are observed with that delay during this time period.”

[Darrell sent graphics that I am unable to reproduce here, but you could email him via his address on QRZ.com, if you want a copy.]

I referred his question to Carl, K9LA, who responded:

“ZL6B sunrise is around 1906 UTC, so I would have expected that you’d see him again later in the day (a bit after 1906 UTC). But perhaps the MUF wasn’t high enough at that time. Or something else was going on. Dropping out around 0430 UTC is understandable, as your sunset is around 0200 UTC and the MUF was slowly dropping until ZL6B (still in daylight) went away around 0430 UTC.

“As for the W6WX results, being only 1,158 kilometers from you says a relatively high elevation angle would be required on the true great circle path. And that says the MUF over that path would not likely be high enough for normal refraction at a high elevation angle on 18 MHz (since we’re just starting to come out of solar minimum). So, your comment about an unusual ionized cloud (or an enhanced area in the ionosphere) is a possible explanation.

“The 20 ms or so delay suggests an off-great circle path from an enhanced area of ionization. And my guess is that this area was south of you and W6WX as that puts it closer to the equatorial ionosphere, where more interesting short-term events happen than north of your location. It’s too bad that the azimuth arrival angle isn’t measured.

“If you’re interested in some more Faros results, check out these documents: https://k9la.us/Aug17_Long_Path-Short_Path_Switching_on_15-Meters_Part_1.pdf and https://k9la.us/Sep17_Long_Path-Short_Path_Switching_on_15-Meters_Part_2.pdf.”

By the way, Carl says he accidentally deleted an email from someone named Edgar in Toronto who had questions about VOACAP, and now he has no way to respond. If you are Edgar, please contact K9LA.

Ken Brown, N4SO (EM50tk), in Alabama reported hearing the XE1FAS/b beacon on 28.171 MHz at 0542 UTC (12:42 AM local time) on August 26. “Just above the noise and then faded out,” he said. The path distance was 1,001 miles.

K6HPX has some fascinating antenna photos on his QRZ.com profile.
