** CANADA. Responses to my obs of ``no report received`` from Trenton Military:
In the UDXF iog: ``Michael Scheel, Oct 5 #111948, After seeing that Glenn Hauser reporting via his log online that he hadn't heard Trenton for a while. I tried it just now (2032z) and hearing it weak but readable via a SDR in the Midwest. The broadcast consisted of a roll call of several terminals with "no report received".`` And Oct 5-6 on the WOR iog: ``Tuned into Trenton Military on 6754 kHz starting at 0031 UTC (S9+20 signal into central NC) and heard several actual weather reports for Shannon, Prestwick (sp?), and Keflavik, however after that, everything else was "no report received" for all other locations (Shearwater, Greenwood, Gander, Halifax, Trenton, Bagotville, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Abbotsford, Comox, Victoria, Vancouver). As usual the station clock reports the current Eastern Daylight Time as Zulu time. After a 0059 UTC sign off, it started up again around 0112 with many "no report received" observations until 0130 when there were three additional reports that were not "no report received" for Zagreb, Split, and Thule. They certainly have a nice antenna farm - http://www.milspec.ca/canforce/facilities/macs/macs-trenton.html Doug White KA5ETS, Carrboro NC`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** CANADA. 28197 CW, Oct 6 at 1528, after getting some California beacons, one JBA here, starting with V-.

Lacking any visual element (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 6 at 2157 JBA on portable DX-398 with IS, somewhat better later but I`m favoring Spain.

NOT confirmed Fri Oct 6 after 2030 on WRMI webcast only, rather world music tunes we have heard countless times before. This airing has continued on the System B skedgrid for several weeks, never fulfilled. Confirmed Friday October 6 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, JBA into portable DX-398 but surely much better otherwise.

More talk, between ``405`` and ``406``, one much weaker than the other; or ``Highland Echo``? Something like that, then ``moving to primary, out``. Searching frequency at UDXF iog, besides Russian, Taiwan and Chinese stuff, was active for Armed Forces Day crossband several years ago, and several logs of NNN0ASF, MARS, Easton MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 17680-17685-17690, Oct 6 at 1456, DRM noise at S9, too close to weak AM signal on 17690, but DRM cuts off at 1457*. That uncovers an AM on 17685 in French vs CCI QRM? Or voice-over something in background. But this also goes off at 1458*, uncovering a JBA carrier on 17685 AM. Listings are of NO help: only 17685 in HFCC is non-digital Issoudun at 1600-1630, an hour later. Nothing in Aoki. EiBi shows that as ``CLA Amharic R.Int.V.o.Fanno AH EAf /F-i`` The 17690 until 1500 would be VOA Tibetan via Lampertheim, Germany or/and CNR1 jamming, of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0103 UT October 7 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
