** CANADA. Re CHU missing several times from 7850, Richard Langley
tells us July 23: ``Just heard back from a technical officer at the
National Research Council: "Between July 13 and 16 we had problems
with 7.85 MHz transmitters. The temperature in the transmitter room
was extremely high, due to the outside temperature, and the
transmitter was frequently off. There could also be other factors and
we are observing this frequency on the air to make adjustments in the
future." -- Richard Langley`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 15034 USB, as of July 23, in random daytime chex have not
caught Trenton Military, CHR VOLMET; no 6754 USB at night. Let`s check
whether either still be on at times (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 4765 at S9+20/40 R. Progreso, and 5025 at S9+15/25 R.
Rebelde, 0237 UT July 23 both into Georgia SDR, playing different
musix, and of course much better than direct audibility (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13780 and 15230 RHCs are on, July 23 at 1408 but JBA direct.
At 2208, only 13780 is on with S9 of Spanish. Jean-Michel Aubier,
France provides direct link to RHC webcasts:?
https://icecast.teveo.cu/McW3fLhs?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 13605, July 23 at 1402, R. Mart?, heavily produced
feature with music, about transmitters and semi-conductors at MIT,
`Caja Digital` apparent name of segment. 11930 & 11860 are not on yet.
Next check at 1513 into FL SDR, 11860 now also on but not 11930. Next2
check at 1600, still no 11930. Next3 check at 1844, all three on and
roughly equal. Next4 check at 2159, 11930 & 11860 on but 9565 instead
of 13605; all about to go off. Not clear when 13605 switch to 9565 but
unlikely for long (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500 S9+20/30 // stronger 17715 S9+30/40 even tho the
latter is for S America // 15520 S9, Wed July 23 at 2200, token
English from SNR, preview topic to be about architecture in Catalonia,
and an award concerning the Madrid city hall. News about corruption by
the PM, blackouts; new law to reveal classified info concerning the
transition from Franco to democracy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.005-, July 23 at 2159, VOT not off the air,
IS & IDs in English, S9+10/20, stronger than usual direct and readable
if not noise-free. 2206 in olds, S9+20/30. At 2240 into UTwente when
measured, S9+30/40 with music, TRTVOTVorld.com promo. Retune 2255 just
in time to hear IS till chop at 2255.7* uncovering another much weaker
carrier with deadair/hum on 11785.004-, what? Nothing else in EiBi,
China not until *0000, but I see VOT listed on 11780 instead! That
happened only once, by mistake or experiment, as I reported. The
mystery off too by 2400, no China heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Mike Cooper forwards this news July 23:
``[WOR] Washington Post: Kari Lake moves to consolidate her power to
dismantle Voice of America -- The Arizonan, an ally of President
Trump, has managed to lock out her nominal boss and is trying to
dispatch VOA's director to North Carolina.

For those interested, the Galkona, AK HAARP is on right now on 9600 aimed S
and SSE. Strong signal into Masset. Supposed to be ongoing until 0100
today. Thanks to Nick Hall-Patch for the reminder. Other frequency (heard
earlier today) is 6900. Tomorrow active from 17 to 19 and 21 to 23. Same
2 frequencies. 73, Walt

Interesting. What kind of signal was it? A solid carrier? Pulses? A
modulate carrier? How long did the transmission last?
