Lugo, Spain
About the Saturday 26th September LRA 36 transmission, I received a
Whattsapp voice message from the station operator Damian Tranamil:
The rhombic antenna of the station is damaged, Damian managed to repair
it provisionally the past Wednesday, when he returned to Base Esperanza
from Chilean Base O?Higgins, where he is doing rescue exercises with
Chilean staff of Chilean Base. In this way the regular program "Coraz?n
Ant?rtico" could be issued.
Saturday, Damian will try to put on air all the canned "Coraz?n
Ant?rtico" programs that he could not broadcast the previous Wednesdays
due to the broken antenna and his stay on Base O'Higgins, these programs
are in Spanish. He will also broadcast a half-hour program in German
that Adrian Korol, RAE director sent to him.
No program in English is planned.
Transmission will be if the weather conditions allow it.
After Saturday, Damian will return to the Chilean base to continue the
exercises and in October he will try to repair definitely the damage
antenna.

A fairly reliable source on Facebook, a broadcast engineer has commented in
a Facebook group that a new transmitter is on order for KTNN.
That seems to suggest the current transmitter is not worth fixing and KTNN
will be off for another week or two

** CHINA [and non]. Don`t be fooled by CNR1 jamming as Sound of Hope
It can be very misleading to rely on some frequency-list references.
First of all, the way-out-of-band SOH transmitters are extremely low
power, maybe 100-watts. The ChiCom attempt to jam most of them with
high-power regular SWBC transmitters carrying CNR1 programming (rarely
Firedrake music). Thus if you hear Chinese on one of these
frequencies, your first assumption should be that it is CNR1 jamming,
unless definitely proven otherwise by specific ID, or *not* being in
// to many other CNR1 frequencies, even legitimate ones which are not
jamming.
Aoki/NDXC indicates the presence of jamming in some versions merely
with an *, easily ignored or overlooked. EiBi has separate entries for
the jammers; but not always are all included in either. Altho China
participates in HFCC, while preventing Taiwan and any clandestines
from doing so, China does not bother to register its jamming
transmissions. Would they even deny them if confronted?
I know copying real IDs in Chinese is difficult for us, but Ron Howard
quotes SOH: "Xiwang zhi sheng guoji guangbo diantai" (Sound of Hope
international broadcast station) ID given twice (once by OM and once
by YL).
Wolfgang Bueschel has done extensive surveys of these with remotes,
finding that Sound of Hope is usually slightly off-frequency while the
jammers are not. CNR1 programming includes timesignal on the hour,
while SOH does not. I often monitor until many of these close at 1400*
after TS. CNR1 jamming also applies to high-power inband transmissions
including RTI, VOA, RFA, and a few SOH, some of those in turn relaying
RFA.. Voice of Tibet and other broadcasts in Tibetan, and Uighur, and
even English are also subject to such jamming.
Every time some Westerner reports CNR1 jamming as if it were SOH, the
ChiCom must be very amused. 73, (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2053)
** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 25 at 0203, again no signal from anonymous
mystery missionary station last heard on UT Sept 19. Such non-logs may
get a bit tiresome, but we need to keep checking as it originally
appeared without notice and recould; while awaiting any word from
connected? South American DXers about what and whence it really were,
subjunctively (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5080, Sept 24 at 0128, filthy spurblob with tell-tale F# tone
when tuned in FM mode, just like RHC often provides on 13 or 15 MHz
bands. This must be coming out of 5040 transmitter, so are there
others at 40 kHz intervals? Yes, but JBA on 5120 and 4960; surely one
on 5000 but totally blocked by strong WWV; in less favored locales may
well be QRMing WWV/H. By 0144 there is also a trace of program
modulation on 5080 as well as blob traces on 5120, 5160. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. 5025 Rebelde is still distorted but not involved.
Conveniently off the air clearing band for these is 5085 WTWW-2 (Glenn

First airing confirmed, UT Fri Sept 25 at 0130 on WRMIs, 5010, S7-S9
direct, // 5850 VG S9+10/20, and intact altho the post-music hit a bit
too quickly before my last word could finish, ``disclaimer`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4980, Sept 24 at 0620, weak music registering S9 on generous
meter, but undermodulated; like last night and lately, presumed a WRMI
transmitter as registered here but not on their website, at exciter
level of few watts or maybe a bit more to audiblize it this much
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2053)
** U S A. 4840, Sept 24 at 0618, WWCR, yet again S9+30 of dead air,
while 3215 and 5890 are successfully BSing. This keeps happening to
the 4840 transmitter, not that I really care. Wonder if there be
anyone in the 1300 WWCR Avenue building overnight who might notice?
There ought to be, with hundreds of kilowatts radiating - something.
The station burned down once before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, Sept 25 at 0128 & 0245 chex, WTWW-2 is off; not WTWW-1
as I typoed before. Clears the band for spurs from CUBA, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Unfortunately awake Sept 24 at 1145 I reluctantly make a
quick check for Trans-Pacific carriers on the DX-398, finding only: a
trace on 846 kHz, Kiritimati? Usually heard around 0600, but now in
darkness several Pacificasians could also propagate, up to 250 kW from
Taiwan. It`s really too weak to DF. Walt Salmaniw, Victoria BC, said
Kiribati was inbooming there as early as 0515 today, which is
post-sunset at station, but no modulation to be heard.
And: JBA carrier on 774, difficult to DF, WSW or NW? Maybe both, i.e.
Australia and Japan. At 1152 I switch to the E-W longwire which gets
JBACs on 594, 774 and 1566. Resleep (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO

I can finally count Radio Punjab's KGSV 660 Oildale/Bakersfield, CA in my
log book here in Laramie, WY. With KTNN off after a transmitter breakdown,
it's left 660 wide open. It's mostly been CFFR Calgary but I've had KGSV in
the background almsot the entire time KTNN has been off in the last 4 days.
However, it was just enough to tell KGSV was there.. Punjab music really
sticks out but it just wasn't good enough to meet my "threshold" for what I
consider recordable/loggable.
Tonight, I've had a minute or three of KGSV thats good enough its clearly
identifiable as them and I'd feel comfortable sending this to the station
for a reception report
