QRZ.com: ``PR2WDX Brazil flag Brazil, Celso "Celso" Dias, R: João carazzolle 175, Pq das colinas, Valinhos S.P, sp 13273640, Brazil --- Hello everyone! (qsl only direct). Thanks for visiting. My name is Celso, and I’m passionate about radio waves; I build my own antennas—they are all homebrew. I have a 5-element antenna for 28 MHz, 2-element antennas for 24 MHz and 21 MHz, and a 40-meter sloper (currently under construction). My station is simple; I use a Yaesu FT-77 radio with just 100W. I am active in programs like POTA, SOTA, and WWFF (I don't currently have a radio for park operations, but I plan to acquire one specifically for that purpose). I’ll be posting photos to my new QRZ page soon. Thanks again for the visit. My email is [email protected]. Feel free to send videos of your reception via WhatsApp at 19 97816-6466 — they are always welcome. Best regards, PR2WDX`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB & 6754 USB, have not heard Trenton Military for a few days and nights of random monitoring; another hiatus, or gone without notice? Anyone hearing them? I did let a remote run for about an hour on 15034 USB without hearing anything (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY. 18140 USB, July 12 at 0017, IZ8DEP, Alfredo in Naples, working US stations.

UNIDENTIFIED? 7203 LSB, July 12 at 0707-0713+, ``CQ contest, Siegried Echo one ---??--- Roman Germany``, fonetix sound like, YL voice repeating over and over with very short pauses. Obviously a recording, no variation in the pronunciation; an occasional reply is answered by a live OM voice, with no other IDs heard. If relying on a repeating recording, you better make sure of its clarity!! I strain to understand the voice-mirror, maybe really: X-ray echo one charlie romeo germany? = XE1CRG. Besides being an obstacle to comprehension, is that kosher in a contest, not having to call CQ contest live? I bet that`s it as in QRZ.com: ``XE1CRG Mexico flag Mexico, CLUB DE RADIO AMATEUR DEL ESTADO DE GUANAJUATO A.C., PASEO DEL OCASO 904 INT 164, Col.

Both are for eastern N America, 11620 from Tsiganeshti and 11800 from Galbeni. Both are supposedly 300 kW at almost same azimuths, 307 & 310 degrees, so why the difference? I really ought to pay attn to RRI programming as one of the few countries still shortwaving to us. However, a friend has blasted them for being too deferential to Trump (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 21241 USB, July 12 at 0012, ED4Y, CQ Contest.

This time I copy what she says in intro: no one in office for a week, nor will there be any news to start each broadcast; Ankara preparing for NATO summit. On to 1) Allan -- in Asunción, Paraguay, multi-lingual listener... never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 35790, July 12 at 0023, no trace of 3rd harmonic of 11930, Greenville with what else? R. Martí, VG on the fundamental. I have tried again and again for this with no luck; of course, it would help if I had a proper VHF antenna on the R75. This was first reported on March 3, *2014* by Paul on the Sussex Coast, as quoted in DXLD 14-10. Not again until November 4, 2023 at 1745-1800z by Don Moman in Lamont, Alberta. I got a JBA carrier Nov 13 at 2317, and made many further tries into April of 2024, and once more in October. Despite the original dates, this ought to work best during the Sporadic E season, like now, so we should again be alert for it. A26 HFCC scheduling for 11930: daily 13-21 at 172 degrees and 21-01 at 184 degrees. 2 X would be 23860; checking the 23 MHz band couldn`t hurt either. Note there is something about circuitry which favors odd or even harmonix but not necessarily both. If 88+ MHz FM be open for DX, surely 35 MHz too. MUF should reach 36 MHz a lot more often than 96. All times UT: Perhaps the other current 25mb frequency would be just as susceptible, 11860 X 3 = 35580, 14-01 UT at 183 degrees. 2 X would be 23720. Just in case, same info for the two 22mb channels: 13570 X 3 = 40710, 14-01 at 184 degrees; X 2 = 27140 13720 X 3 = 41160, 14-01 at 184 degrees; X 2 = 27440 Note that these are possible maximum timespans, not necessarily totally in use every day. Of course we could go on and on figuring possible lower or higher harmonix for all the Greenville frequencies. But these are a few to keep an ear on, or include in your scanning memories (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2355 monitoring: confirmed Saturday July 11 at 1953 the 1930 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 6160.000+, S9+5/15 with het, S9+5/15 into UTwente; and 3975.001+, S9+15/25. Also confirmed Saturday July 11 at 1954 the 1930 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S9+15/30 into Georgia SDR. Not confirmed Saturday July 11 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, not enough signal vs daytime/storm noise into several closest SDRs in MO, IL, TN.

NOT confirmed Sunday July 12 the 0630 on three WRMIs: instead at 0639 some music show with commercials, ``Jeff Lawrence, WRMI Legends`` recommending some BBQ sauce. 0658 another ad, and 0700 switch to WRN feed of Polish Radio External Service. WRMI skedgrid still shows WRN starting at 0600 on 5850, 7730, 7780. I was hearing all this on usual 5850 with bigsig, 7780 much weaker but //able, and 7730 JBA carrier. At 0600-0700, Legends is supposed to be only on 7570 WRMI-5. I am hoping this were a mixup, as Sun 0630 gave WOR VG coverage. As usual I doze past the only SW airing of WOR on IRRS, Sun 0930 via Romania on 9510, but probably not propagating over here anyway. Anyone hear it? I do happen to awaken after 1030 Sunday July 12 and can still reconfirm WOR on WRN via WRMI 9395 S9+20 and 7780 S9+10/20.
