OTH radar, or jamming? Amid it at 1511 an ID, ``su compa??a``. This is program #9 of the 2022 cycle. 1514 SR/SS times as 10:30/15:10. Contact info with phone numbers, etc. Abruptly chopped off air at 1518* and not heard further. The QRM could not be discerned on the wideband waterfall, but I checked just above and below: audible on 15480, audible but weaker tuned to 15470. Then it`s no longer heard either by 1537 when I give up. Maybe the Saturday repeat will not be curtailed and/or jammed? People are reporting getting eQSLs signed by the four woman staff. Kari Kallio`s, Finland, says power is 300 watts to a rhombic. However, Manuel M?ndez, Spain, who usually can detect it direct at S1 level, got one too, as a reply not to a reception report but to an inquiry he sent before they ever resumed broadcasting, citing the date and time of his mail, when they certainly were not on air: ``Manuel M?ndez, Lugo, Spain --- I had one too, a very special one, from a nonexistent transmission. On May 2, at 1023 hours, I sent them an email asking when the transmissions would start this season. We all know that they started a few days later, on Saturday, May 7. Well, a few days ago I received a QSL from LRA 36, confirming that I had listened to them on May 2 at 1023 hours. I reply that this QSL is incorrect, because that day they had no broadcast, and I simply sent them an email asking when they would start transmission this season. They answer me "Good evening... we are sending the QSL according to the emails listeners send... and you sent us an email at that time that we send you a QSL with the date and time you sent us the email." I send them another mail telling them that to send a QSL it had to be from a certain program and they have to have a reception report, explain to them what a reception report is, and also that they cannot send confirmation by a simple mail in which they are asked a question, and my QSL was false and did not correspond to reality. I no longer get an answer. Here is a compressed file of my very special eQSL about an nonexistent transmission...`` It seems their QSLs are worthless, just acknowledgments without any checking or vetting. (I wonder if same applies to the no-data automatic? eQSLs BBCWS has started for filling out a webform? Try it with a non-frequency and see what happen) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA.
