** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 17 at 1414, after most of them have
evaporated at 1400 --- below 15 MHz, no WOOBs found until 11120 JBA
Chinese, 11100 & 10920 JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 711.0, Aug 17 at 0602, JBA het presumably one of
the Radios Rebeldes knocked off-frequency again like a few months ago.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Too weak to get DF on it, but
the only TA carrier this late is 621 presumed Canary Islands (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 12200, Aug 17 at 0624, RHC English in mailbag from Utah,
S6-S9 from much stronger fundamental 6100. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Aug 17 at 0609, JBA carrier but with some
decent peaks, surely R. Kiribati, Xmas Island and not Europe, whence
this late the only TA carrier trace is 621 Canary/Africish. 846, 10 kW
is the closest TP split-frequency station, and it`s already well after
dark there; and anyway there are no Europeans on 846 more than 3 kW.
Additionally I get a rough DX-398 DF as closer to E/W than NE/SW. True
bearing is 252 degrees, distance only 4500 miles, and due south of
Hawaii, in the *western* hemisphere. As measured on my trusty NGS
globe.
Neither gaisma.com nor distancefromto.net can cope with the fact that
*this* part of Kiribati, the Line Islands, is *far* removed from the
main part to the west, giving out false readings for London,
Kiritimati as if it were on HQ island Tarawa, 6114 miles away and with
local time as UT+12 instead of +14! LSS varies only half an hour over
the course of a year, only 2 degrees from the Equator. It should be
similar to Honolulu which was 0500 UT today. But this gets it:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/@11185877
with LSS at 18:38 minus 14 hours = 0438 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH. 11735, Aug 17 at 0627, too-sweet orchestral music so
typical of this Eden, VOK, then YL talk in French so fraxured I have
to concentrate a while to be sure of language until ``bombe atomique``
heard, their signature subject; and onward with vocal songs in Korean?
Cuts off circa 0655* rousing me from my doze; for Latin America,
French at this hour a marvel of optimism. Returned on at 1404, there
it is again during Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Aug 17 at 0617, NDB PN Ponca City is still
off, and 341-MCW kHz, EI Enid JBA is still on (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 88.1, Aug 17 at 1741 UT, KMSI Moore Oasis Network cuts to
dead air briefly during interview; at 1742 their local translator on
89.1, K206CA is dead air too, but OK at 1747 recheck when it`s
confirmed // 88.1.
106.7, Aug 17 at 1747 UT $tereo dead air here from KTUZ-FM Okarche,
the Spanish station, vying to outdo Oasis. I was bandscanning for Es
DX after a 100 MHz MUF spike was reported west of here: nada (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 16 at 2200, VOT English to us is not off today
but might as well be vs strong NSS RTTY adding up to S9. These
entities evidently do not recognize each other as problematic! Nor
does it speak well for their official? monitors (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 13089-USB, Aug 16 at 2159, somewhat distorted OM robovoice
obsessed with nothing but winds in knots and seas in feet --- what`s
the conversion factor between knots and feet per second, to make the
units match?? --- day by day thru Friday, then back to tonight for
Caribbean between 64 and 72 west, down to Venezuela. This is a shared
USCG frequency; per Eibi at 2130-2205 it`s NMN Chesapeake VA, elsewhen
Guam, Hawaii or California (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 25000 & 20000, Aug 16 at 2150, WWV is S9 on both tnx to
sporadic-E short-skip under 500 miles from CO to here, but there is
*no* activity to be heard on adjacent hambands 12, 15 meters. A couple
unID phoners are audible on 18134-USB and 18136.5-USB (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2047 monitoring, our Sunday evening
extravaganza of 5 opportunities on SW not to mention WRN satellite and
webcast:
Confirmed UT Monday August 17 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20/30.
Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 17 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, good at UTwente, VG
at Maine; also via WRN.
Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 17 at 0245 the 0230 on WRMI 7780, S8-S9
direct.
Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 17 starting at 0302.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ
5130, S9+10 but high storm noise level.
Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 17 after 0330 on WRMI 9955 and/or webcast, I
think but missed logging it.
Also confirmed Monday August 17 from 1801.7 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria,
S9+20 via UTwente but with storm crashes worse than the plus/minus 10
AACI. Runup check this week: carrier *1755.5 takes over from JBA algo,
dead air until 1758.9 sounds like Feature Story News --- yes, as not
chopped off before its outro; 1759.9 to UNESCO PSA in Spanish! about
CV; then IRRS sign-on again with deactivated? P O Box 10980 in Milano;
1801.3 FSN again where it usually inserts just before 1801.7 WOR,
which continues airing intact. Next:
1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 15610, Aug 16 at 2155, NO signal from WEWN, AWOL again from
English day transmitter, which should be more than JBA with sporadic E
inbooming neighbor 15825 WWCR S9; and even 15555-USB WJHR S3, 15770
WRMI S8. WEWN 12050 Spanish on when checked at 2301. And 9385 WEWN
night frequency in English VG at 0621 August 17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

It looks like the talk programming from 1180 will simply move over to
1060. Having one more station would put Lotus over the cap, the day
signals at 5kw day ND for 1060 and 4KW Day ND for 1180 arent much
different... but 1060 is 500W 2 towers night, not very directional and 1180
is a 2 tower very directional missing alot of the city 190 watt night
signal.
Thanks to Scott Fybush for helping me suss out in the contract for the sale
what I missed

BHUTAN 6035even kHz. BS BTN Thimphu in Sharchogpa language scheduled,
S=9+10dB signal in Delhi Perseus unit.
At 01.37 UT on Aug 18.
But was OFF air when checked at 01.48 UT again !?
6 kHz wide audio visible, mostly audio on lower sideband seen !
Lately, some heavy political dispute in that mountain region,
about the demarcation line between India / Bhutan and China,
remnants of the British Empire finale of 1948 on South Asian subcontinent.

They seem to go to night pattern way earlier then the official FCC Time.
They are 50KW full time, but different patterns day and night.
Pattern change time is 930pm mountain/830pm pacific, but they switched
patterns at 821pm . How do I know? Listening in Laramie, WY clear as day,
850 miles away and they COMPLETELY disappeared in the middle of their
traffic news sounder.
Last winter, id caught them changing patterns five minutes every day
regardless of the month
This info might be useful to someone
