** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, August 1 at 1316-1325: none higher than:
12820 VP; 12795 S9-S5 after some dead air; 12210 & 12190 vs CODAR;
11440, 11170, 11150, 11120, 11100, 10920, 10870, 10820 S7-S9, 9215,
9200; at 1333, 6970 VP but same as // 12795 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 9670, August 1 at 1658-1702, no signals from Channel 292
new frequency with 10 kW ND from Rohrbach, which per Ivo`s sked is
supposed to be airing `Encore` classical music at 17-18. I`m checking
both UTwente and another SDR further in Europe, Lisboa. 9670 has been
reported earlier today and July 31 testing sporadically. At 18-19 it
is to be occupied by CRI via Kashgar. But but by 1712 Encore is poorly
audible at both, better at Lisboa. No point in even trying for this
direct to deep North America; no signal at Maine SDR. Sorry, I`m back
to `Carmen` non-Met on L&C KUCO-FM stereo webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [non]. 14325-USB, Aug 1 at 1310, Hurricane
Watch Net, unID station citing position of Hurac?n Isa?as (confounding
English-only speakers) as 24.3N, 77.5W = 30 km E of Andros, moving at
12 mph. Another QSO on 14343-USB apparently from coastal Floridians
concerned about flooding (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2045 monitoring: JB confirmed,
Saturday August 1 at 1326 on WRMI, 15770, my voice barely
recognizable, while at start 1300 was a JBA carrier.
Also confirmed Sat Aug 1 after 1600 on WRN North America webcast.
Note that Okeechobee is predicted to be not far west of the hurricane
path so WRMI may experience high CCW winds and have to close down for
safety if not blown away, inconveniently scheduled for WOR airings.

** U S A. 17775-, Sat Aug 1 at 1500, JBA carrier at best from KVOH
when `AWR Wavescan` is scheduled; not checked on KiwiSDRs until 1530,
finding no signal at TWR Key West, very poor at Bonaire (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, August 1 at 0541:
from low end of band up to 900 at least, no 531 or 891 from Algeria,
but the only one on 9 kHz steps is 621, surely RNE 300 kW on Tenerife,
CANARY ISLANDS. It`s almost too late for anything from Europe, but LSR
there today was 0627 UT, while e.g. in Sevilla, upon the continent
it`s 0529 UT, if I have correctly converted the confusing listings at
gaisma.com -- where you will not find a Canary heading under Africa,
but under Europe: Spain: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, not under T.
I was also checking page 59 of WRTH 2020, the glossy map of Europe,
not including Canaries even as inset, and notice there is a SW site in
red at San Fernando, on the SW coast of Spain just above Gibraltar.
When was there ever a SW site there, beyond Noblejas or long-gone
Arganda?? Maybe utility? I`ve always felt these maps should be much
more detailed if they would show at least major MW sites, but they are
only for SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15410 approx., August 1 at 2151, distorted spurblob with
music and telltale F# tone, so I know immediately it has to be coming
from the nearest RHC, i.e. 15370: Yes, undermodulated there at S7,
soon with poetry or lyrix recitation; where else at ~40-kHz intervals?
S5 15333 approx. at minus 37, while they are really diffuse, now
15407-15411 audible; JBA around 15447 but not around 15289. Event from
an echoey hall, mentions Moncada, perpetual revolutionary obsession,
living in the past. Surely same spurry transmitter recently on 11670
later, and less recently on 13700 earlier. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11800, Aug 1 at 2206, RHC is S7-S8 and suptorted while its
parasitic spurs on 11790 & 11810 are mere JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** GERMANY [non]. 9675: after barely hearing `Encore` via Channel 292
on new 9670 via UTwente after 1700, I check again Aug 1 at 1855 to
find how bad the CCI be from EAST TURKISTAN, CRI in Persian already
there at 1800-1900 --- which taking Ivo`s advice, caused Uncle Bill to
reschedule his new Friday bihour on 9670 from August 7 to 16-18
instead of 18-20 UT. Yes, would certainly have a problem before 1900
on 9670, but a far greater problem is huge signal at UTwente on 9675,
Sa`udi Arabia in stilted Turkish, furthermore distorted
over-modulation breaking up! Riad at 1800-2100 per EiBi, 1755-2057 per
Aoki but missing from HFCC A-20! HFCC does show a further mess on
9675, 1900-2100 Egypt in Russian which I think is imaginary but not
checked after 1900; and from 2020 an hour from Iran in Spanish which
would collide with Sa`udi until it`s finished at 2057 or 2100. That`s
also likely to ACI 292 if anyprogram try to use it those hours. BTW
only two of the six airings of `Encore` classical music on WRMI are
any good here to the NW, and I do catch it UT Sunday Aug 2 at
0100-0200 on 5850 via OKC SDR; next is UT Monday 0200-0300 on 9455.
Always enjoyable and tnx to Brice Avery for producing it! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. Re my last report under unID MW: ``I was also checking page
59 of WRTH 2020, the glossy map of Europe, and notice there is a SW
site in red at San Fernando, on the SW coast of Spain just above
Gibraltar. When was there ever a SW site there, beyond Noblejas or
long-gone Arganda?? Maybe utility? I`ve always felt these maps should
be much more detailed if they would show at least major MW sites, but
they are only for SW``
Richard Langley explains that this refer to timesignal station EBC.
The diamond at the spot is in dark blue which the legend explains
refers to such SW outlets, as shown on page 669: 1 kW CW but on air
less than one hour weekdays only: 1000-1025 on 15006, 1030-1055 on
4998. Is it active? Can`t recall any recent reports of it and I`m
never listening at that hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 1 at 2200, no signal here from VOT English, but
at 2215 a JBA carrier; maybe came on late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 14285-USB, Sat Aug 1 at 2159, ``Air Force Flyers Roundtable
Net``, no calls copied but someham remarx that duct tape is conductive
so where that matters, use black tape instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
