** AUSTRALIA. 28262 CW, May 14 at 2204, only direct signal on 10m, beacon or phone in a quick scan, is JBA fading in and out here - long dash of ~26 seconds and can`t copy it fully in maybe a semidozen passes, but right after the dash there is VK###. WGB list shows only this here or nearby, and with a 30-second dash: ``28262 VK2RSY - Sydney NSW AUS QF56mh - #0 (10 Jan 2024) Note: ID + grid + 30" carrier. Pwr 25w``. Meanwhile I was trying SDRs across the US, in Maryland, Illinois, and two KFS in Californa, NW & SW antennas and none were getting it except a trace at Athens, Georgia, about like I had it. QRZ.com, nothing about a beacon: ``VK2RSY Australia flag Australia, Amateur Radio New South Wales, PO BOX 6044, Dural Delivery Centre, NS 2158, Australia`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non?]. 17855, May 14 at 0640, JBA signal, the OSOB except for stronger 17600 Algeria: so CNR1 jammer and/or RFA Mandarin via TINIAN this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17715.013, May 14 at 1914, REE S9+30 into UTwente. Now 17855 is also active, S9+5/15, but nothing on 15390 and 15520. Something`s not normal at Noblejas. In Spanish, like `Tablero Deportivo`, silly ballgame. Same situation at 2220 recheck during non-English on Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 14 at 2200, VOT English, JBA carrier direct. 2230 into UTwente when measured, S9+35/45, badax talking about AI; outro credit written by someone at Cambridge [mispronounced] University, 2236 music; 2244 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2246 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products` about tile, music; 2253 s/off by non-badax YL as if only the 1230 on 17620. Something`s awry at Ankara. At least they got the right season this time. 2254 IS until 2255.5* in time to avoid German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2242 monitoring: Confirmed UT Tuesday May 14 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/20 into Querétaro SDR. Also confirmed Tuesday May 14 at 1319, JBA into Peoria SDR the 1300 on WRMI 9955. Earlier was inaudible direct, confirmed on webcast, only a traceline on waterfall into Maryland, no signal into Bonaire. Bad prop and/or underpowered?

Time pips and BST/CET timechecks at 0800 UT, followed by --- silence. Unmodulated tx on for 5-10 minutes then the plug was pulled, for the rest of the morning at least. No trace of it this morning as of 0930 UT.
