I have heard some of the HAARP tests in the past, and participated in the reception of the EME experiments by HAARP at 7 MHz some years ago. They don't do as many experiments as they used to. It's good to have info on upcoming experiments.

They often disagree. The *real* ZSJ is, or was, naval marine radio on HF from Cape Town, South Africa.

In 2007y someone reported it on 263. Occasionally noted but not always logged, JBA vs noise level. RNA and DXinfocentre.com show it the only 267 anywhere! Clear channel worldwide.

Someone complains about how hard it is to find anything about VOT on the TRT website, to which he has no comment. Also from India, and the last one from Australia, as time is running out - despite widely variable start and length and lots of music fill elsewhen; 2328 ``Goodbye dear listeners, I love all of you.`` After a song, 2333 Letterbox intro/outro theme played by mistake: something`s always awry at Ankara; more music. 2354 s/off for 1330 broadcast only, only first 6 notes of IS before chopoff 2355* uncovering the CCCCCCI from XJRTV, East Turkistan, std genocidal denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, Feb 26 at 2309 direct, I can tell VOT is on but not enough to break the noise level. 2330 into UTwente, when measured, S9+40/45 music and nothing but more songs until 2354 s/off and a few sex of IS, chopoff before 2355* uncovering XJRTV, etc., etc. Was lack of spoken programming Ankara awry or Emirler erroneous?

No doubt this from one of the closest inside the eastern 48. BTW, we should be especially fond of Diego Garcia, main island of the BIOT, since our .io groups are HQ there! At least by domain. I was about to remark, D.G. was discovered by Portuguese, so no accent on the i - until I found this confuser: ``Diego Garc?a de Moguer was a Spanish explorer who also sailed for the Portuguese Crown later in life. Wikipedia. Born: 1484, Moguer, Spain. Died: 1544 (age 60 years), Indian Ocean``. Maybe compromise with grave rather than acute: Garc?a. But should the c be lithped Castilianwise?
