Some of their comments seem scripted, others off-the-cuff describing what is going on or translating portions of speeches. Of course celebrating the greatness of Taiwan, not least the low rate of COVID-19. There is constant Chinese in the background, which in this case is self-imposed QRM. It`s annoying to English speakers, and Chinese-speakers would not get anything out of it either with English constantly talking over it!

We?re getting spoiled with the weekly DX Test. But tonight?s conditions are the best so far. Great opportunity for DX?ers in Europe and on the West Coast to snag WNJC. Duke Hamann of WNJC has announced another weekly DX Test of WNJC 1360, which will include the FT-8 mode. A first of its kind for a station doing DX Tests on the MW Band. Tonight?s test will be Omnidirectional pattern at 1250 watts. Reception reports can be sent to Duke at: kc2...@duxpond.com <mailto:kc2...@duxpond.com> There is also a Facebook Page devoted to the tests: WNJC 1360 AM DX Tests | Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/groups/wnjc1360dx> The test will be in two parts: WNJC DX TEST PART ONE 0000 EDT-0100 EDT (0400-0500 UTC) The test begin late tonight starting at midnight on the East Coast of the United States. Late Saturday/Early Sunday, 10/11 at 0000 EDT (0400 UTC) and initially air the same Morse code IDs, jingles, sweep tones, telephone off-hook sounders and other test material. Conditions are the best they?ve been so far during this prolonged DX Test. should provide a good opportunity for the test to be received in Europe. WNJC DX TEST PART TWO 0100 EDT-0200 EDT (0500-0600 UTC) Duke Hamann will be testing for a second hour using the amateur radio mode FT-8, developed by Joe Taylor, K1JT, a Nobel Prize winning astrophysicist. FT-8 is a ?sound card mode? where you simply input audio from your receiver into your computer?s sound card, then use software to process that audio digging out weak signals in the noise. How well does it work? Using the software and the audio from your receiver, you can decode signals that are as much as -24db below the noise. Many DX?ers have had success using their receivers in the lower-sideband mode (LSB). Since the WNJC transmissions are in AM Mode, they are effectively double-sideband (DSB). Either sideband should work for reception. 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 EM63nf NRC & IRCA Courtesy Program Committee Chairman Member WTFDA, MWC Perseus SDR, Elad FDM-S2 SDR, AirSpy + Discovery, SDRPlay RSP-2 Pro, Sony XDR-F1HD [XDR Guy Modified], Dennon TU-1500RD, Sangean HDT-1X, Ray Dees RDS Decoders, Korner 9.2 Antenna, FM-6 Antenna, Kitz Technologies KT-501 Pre-amps, Quantum Phaser, Wellbrook ALA1530 Loop, Wellbrook Flag, Clifton Labs Active Whip. ?Nothing but blues and Elvis, and somebody else?s favorite song?? ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2020 04:35:18 +0000 (UTC) From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> To: WOR DXLD <w...@groups.io> Cc: Short-Wave Radio Listening <s...@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 10-11, 2020 Message-ID: <1513248780.163624.1602390918...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Oct 10 at 1715, continuing previous report of LRA36 Saturday special, still going with improved signal via Brasil KiwiSDR, but at this time briefly hit by clix and het; 1716 into *German*; 1719 commemorating 40th anniversary; long string of English fonetix, spelling out contact info including yankee-alfa-hotel-oskar-oskar; old off-air recording; ``Ant?rtida`` song; 1722 full IDs in Spanish, German: English saying this broadcast is in Spanish, huh? 1745 back really into Spanish, speech about Patagonia, and music, Pat songs; 1758 plug this as the Wednesday 11-13 `Coraz?n Ant?rtico` show; mostly songs after 1800; 1814 ID and Rio Gallegos song; cut off the air by 1821 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 11 at 0022, tropical music S5-S7 direct from anonymous mystery missionary station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 4765, Oct 11 at 0023, R.

Still no 6159.93v at 0157 check. What had been scheduled in EDT = UT -4: Saturday 10 October 2020 7:00pm : Radio Timtron Worldwide 8:00pm : Grits Radio 9:00pm : The Lumpy Gravy Radio Show 10:00pm : The Eric Dolphy Mystery Hour 11:00pm : Zombo In Your Brain Sunday 11 October 2020 7:00pm : Radio Timtron Worldwide 8:00pm : American Debauchery with Duane Bruce 10:30pm : Shortwave Music Library October 2020 11:00pm : Glenn Hauser's World of Radio 11:30pm : Hobart Radio International Let`s hope it be restored by UT Monday; no computer handy for: ``You can listen to us on the internet at splatterbox.us `` Not heard when I checked 5130, but then I see Area 51 `Lumpy Gravy` show was widely heard on 5130-USB around 0030, via Sycko Radio, per https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,72762.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Oct 10 at 2210, surprise, WRNO is on already, S9+10 with screaming gospel huxter in English; also Oct 11 at 0024 check but now gospel huxtress is just barely modulated. Has long been registered available 22-16 UT on 7505, so can easily expand beyond curtailed 01-04 only until crash in June; they have a lot of lost time to make up for. Furthermore, altho never used for many years, also registered 16-22 UT on 15590, both 50 kW at 20 degrees into western Ontario; so keep an ear on that imaginary one too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Oct 11 at 0020, WTWW-2 still ham news, but by 0032, `TOUTA` has started, S9+45! but distorted, what a shame. Also with JBA parasitic spurs plus/minus 13 kHz. Anyhow at 0039 before I give up, I recognize Bob Heil`s comment about a Hammond Organ he built, so this is a rerun. Not handy to switch to webfeed for pristine $tereo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5043.2 & 5056.8, Oct 11 at 0021, never heard before JBA parasitic spurs matching 6.8 kHz plus/minus out of 5050.0 WWRB, which is S9+40, extremely lo-fi and splatter QRM to the spurs; 0108 check, 5050 still on, but spurs are gone. Say, how about Dave`s BEACON? 475.2-MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0038, WA4SZE beacon at WWRB TN site is indeed JBA with extremely slow CW ID. I know that other hams were complaining long ago about this eating up so much of the 7-kHz-wide 630-m band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1539.95 approx., Oct 11 at 0055 UT, TexMexmx, then mention of ``Canal 57.5 - Houston``; Biden and other political ads in English while music still plays. Not sure which is from the off-frequency, which is surely KGBC Galveston TX, vs KEDA San Antonio. Virtual Channel 57.5 in Houston = the fifth of six virtuals of KUBE RF 41 Baytown TX megawatt, ``Viene``, per W9WI.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 6906.08-CUSB, Oct 11 at 0029 direct, VP S5 Spanish and music, i.e. 93.7 relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 539.95 approx., Oct 11 at 0040, het upon 540 stations.
