Glenn Hauser logs September 8, 2021

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sept 8 at 1506 and still just in case at 1750, NO signal from LRA36 into Brasil SDR for its main broadcast on Wednesday, tho it had resumed after a month on Sat Sept 4, which is announced as a repeat of Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6030, Sept 8 at 0625, comedy from CFVP again audible vs remnant Cuban pulse jamming. Now being reported elsewhere deep into America; Ron Howard has been hearing it well on the California beach haven (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 10960, Sept 8 at 1335, CNR1 jammer weak with music; only other WOOB ones are 12820 and 13130, also JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9770, Sept 8 at 1645, nice low-key strumming Chinese music with occasional brief announcements until 1657*. Listed as CRI Hakka hour via Urumqi, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. Via Alberta SDR, I was seeking YHWH on 9775 which Rick Barton had just reported from AZ, but gone already (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21690, Sept 8 at 1515, RFI Swahili hour S9-S6 into RSA SDR, still no move to 25800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** HAWAII. 6501-USB, Sept 8 at 0628, robo marine weather, distorted modulation any ham would be ashamed of, but not the USCG. EiBi shows 6501 is shared among NMN Chesapeake, NMO Honolulu, NRV Guam, NOJ Alaska; not to mention XSL China. Some of the times allegedly overlap, at this hour could only be NMO from 0600, with NMN until 0615. I would have guessed NMN anyway, but some of the ocean areas cited between 137 and 162 west, so Hawaii (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 8 at 0608, only 9-kHz carrier is here, presumed R. Kiribati, while previous nights there would be a few remnants from western Eurafrica: very-low latitude path funxions while higher ones from the east do not: due to K-index of 4 at 0300? But down to 2 by 0600, no storms, says WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 267-MCW kHz, Sept 8 at 0615 UT, NDB HET which is 25 watts from HenryEtTa; I was tuned to 265-USB. Notably the only one in N America on 267 per dxinfocentre.com. Not often audible day or night and wonder if only sporadically active. City-to-city distance 202 km = 126 miles. Is due south of western Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Sept 8 at 0606 UT, KFAQ Tulsa with sports talk about some team named ``Cowboys``; instead of C2CAM, so transition to Blitz must be complete (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, Sept 8 at 1831 UT the two KS NDBs, ULS ULysseS and CA Newton / Harvs, mixing together at the limits of 25-watt groundwave? 336 km = 208 stmi from ULS. Must be a greater collision midway between them, while I am transborder south of one, southeast of the other, via N/S wire. Periods differ slightly per classaxe.com, 6.28 vs 7.41 seconds, so eventually they alternate. At night often only one or the other can be heard.

407-MCW kHz, Sept 8 at 1832 UT, NDB HRU, which is 25 watts from Herington KS. I hear it best day or night on 405-USB, and relog it now for the record (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2102 monitoring: zzz, unchecked Wed Sept 8, 1030 on WRMI 5850; anyone hear it? Especially in PacificAsia. Yes:

``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, From the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: This time I made my loggings that I confirmed hearing World of Radio #2102, 0230, 5800 kHz, some guy writing and playing his own music, Greg Fishmen, Sep 6 UTC, see you down future radio journey other frequencies are logged on my shortwave radio dial, Details:

0130-0159, static, 5850 kHz, 0136, 0140 (55443), (55434), 0159, 5850 kHz, Sept 3 UTC 2021 [Fri]
0130-0159, QRN, 9395 kHz, 0132, 0155 (45433), (45343), 0159, 9395 kHz, Sept 4 UTC 2021 [Sat]
2230-2259, QSB fading, static QRN, 9955 kHz, S 6 signal, 2259, 9955 kHz, Sep 5 UTC 2021 [Sun]
0030-0059, Static noise, 7730 kHz, 0044 (ID half way mark), 0059, 7730 kHz, Sep 6 UTC 2021 [Mon]

Also confirmed Wed Sept 8 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+15 into VA SDR with slight storm noise; 21 seconds later on WBCQ 7490, carrier offset -105 Hz = 7489.895, VP vs heavy storm noise - nearest over DelMarVa peninsula, and much more to the N and S. Next, and last:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 4840, Sept 8 at 0622, a not infrequent occurrence, WWCR with S9+30 of dead air instead of TOMBS, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15610, Sept 8 at 2243, JBA carrier direct. Should only be WEWN, which English service was off air recently. I try a number of remotes to confirm it but also JBA carrier everywhere on the 85 degree azimuth toward Africa: Spain, UTwente, Virginia, even Birmingham which however admits it`s ailing tho it gets 9955 OK. I wonder how well it would normally get Vandiver on groundwave. South Africa is too far into the night for any signal by 2300. So could WEWN be back on but very reduced power; or is it just propagation. Finally I check Maine SDR which is hot and it does get an RCatholic discussion at S9! That`s it at a better skip distance, whatever the real power and azimuth: 1915 km = 1190 miles, close to two megametres (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13570, Sept 8 at 1402, open carrier with flutter, S5-S6 until 1403*. Aoki and EiBi have CRI until 1300 only; next not until 1600, RFA and jamming. Surely not the still HFCC-registered impossible alternate to 9330 for WBCQ with WLCR, but anyway not imagined until 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
