Cairo S9+20/35 into UTwente, mostly just a whine with bits of talk modulation breaking thru at peaks, more so during extremely distorted music, totally useless. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, August 9 at 1515, Voice of Martyrs Korea, Christian talk in English, not Dhivehi, S8/9+10, rating as the strongest signal on band! except for OOB 12160 WWCR blaster: better than 11760 Cuba and 11860, 11930 Cuba-non which reach only S9. Remains incredible from secret site supposedly aimed toward the opposite side of the world (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. Alan Roe replies to my previous report: ``Hi Glenn, It wasn't entirely clear, but I think that Justin meant that the Letterbox/DX Programme is upcoming in a *forthcoming* edition of the programme saying: " ... soon we'll talk shop in another letterbox/DX Programme, but today what we are going to do is to return to our ... interview with ... Idoia L?pez" (which turns out to be a repeat of a feature aired originally, I think, on 20 June). Anyway, the Letterbox/DX Programme is therefore likely to be aired this Wednesday or Friday, and it's good news that the REE English programme is continuing. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. Fixing a couple of time typos in previous report: 9830, August 8 at 2234, VOT English, S9/+20 into UTwente, with continuous lite humbuzz but tolerable in Turkish music, 2236 feature about electricars, 2242 another song, 2248 Did You Know That? After sign-off schedule, IS from 2255; restart at 2256 then with German IDs twice a minute. Still on at 2300 timesignal, sign-on bonus German, same humbuzz as before during news past 2305 tune-out... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, August 9 at 2157, via UTwente standing by for VOT in English --- but no show by 2208, just much weaker signal locked onto including Chinese timesignal at 2200. Maybe later? Maybe an hour of German and another of Portuguese like yesterday? You never know. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 9 at 0501, UR1 via WRMI with `Ukraine: Security Issue`, tuned in too late to hear datestamp, but by YL, including: Russia`s nuclear blackmail; 2000 civilians evacuated from Luhansk region. Surprisingly, 0507 immediately followed by *another* U:SI with a different announcer, OM, as for August 8, Day 168, but it sounds strangely familiar like the edition heard yesterday, ending with the Turkish UAV factory story until 0514. Same script, re-voiced? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2150 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday August 9 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S7/9+10 into Maryland SDR. Lite QRM from extremely regular noise bursts as clearly visible on waterfall, 40 times per minute, but occasionally replaced by a totally different-looking and -sounding burst. These span roughly 9300-9700, tapering off up to 10000. Recheck at 0110, they are gone. Something nearby that SDR, or widespread?

No other station noted. Also before 0559 UT, nothing heard on 11835. At my QTH, I would definitely hear CNR2 if it was on 11835 kHz. Last year I did in fact have some serious CNR2 QRM problems while trying for Radio Vanuatu's harmonic on 11835, but no such problem this year. I believe CNR2 on 11835 was last listed for the A21 schedule. Currently Aoki lists nothing on 11835, which conforms to my frequent observations. Only RV is currently heard on 11835. ``- - - - A few of my CNR2 (11835) logs from last year: Aug 1-2, 2021, on 11835, at 0630, ID in English for "This is C-N-R Business Radio" (CNR2), so continuing with the BoH ID, which is not used at ToH. May 10, 2021, heard Radio Vanuatu on 7890 (harmonic), found a new starting time of *0659; from 0704 to 0728, news/sports in Bislama; approaching fair reception; 11835 harmonic covered by CNR2. Ron, California`` -- I replied: ``Hi Ron, OK, if it`s not CNR2 now, maybe the RV carrier itself is unstable, causing the `two-tone het` if listening on 11834-USB. That would be understandable since it`s a spurious harmonic in the first place. So we should hear nothing at all on 11835 before 0600. 73, Glenn`` And so I start checking at 0555 UT August 9. Yes, no signal at all on 11835, but 7260 has the JBA carrier no doubt from RV. Seems to waver a bit, and with splash from 7265 French = VOA SAO TOME; but of course no problem from 7255, Nigeria long gone. Then I`m QRX for 11835 to come on, which it does at *0559:12, S6/S8. Again it seems to waver slightly, maybe propagation-caused if not transmitter instability. I haven`t been measuring it, but do so this time: only about 3 or 4 Hz high (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2213 UT August 9 ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2022 03:31:29 +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 August 9-10, 2022 Message-ID: <294395883.1736905.1660102289...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 ** AFGHANISTAN. This week`s `Frontline` on PBS, dated August 9, ``Afghanistan Undercover`` is an inside look on Taliban mistreatment of women, well worth watching entirely, but starting about 30 minutes into, a segment on a women`s radio station still on the air -- but of course, run by men. Can`t find it in WRTH 2022.

Altho I do not have a second receiver handy to correlate the modulation. There is also amorphous similar hash further up to beyond 12 MHz which may be from the same source, if not something local (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. Probably due to rolling blackouts, several RHC and relay frequencies are missing, August 9 at 2346: 13650 CRI and nothing else on 13 MHz; August 10 at 0000, no 5990, 6000, 9650, 9710, 11850, 11880, 11950 nor anything on 15 MHz. These RHC Spanish are on after 0000 August 10: 11670, S8/S9; and 11760, S4/S6, both undermodulated. 6165, August 9 at 2359, RHC `English` already on at S9/+20 but *still* horrible modulation like amplified whispering with a very narrow audio bandwidth.

Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2150 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday August 9 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9/+5 into Maryland SDR and no Cuban jamming; but by 2248 the jamming noise has cut on and building up to 2300 for R. Libertad. WOR remains more or less readable. Also confirmed Tuesday August 9 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/22 into Maryland SDR; Midnite Cry, preceding preacher, still going at 2329.5 trying to give website when cut to WRMI ID. Bandscanning later at 2358 I barely catch WOR also ending on 5950! Must have also started at 2330. NOT scheduled, rather System L with one-hour `Challenge` at 2300 M-F. No second receiver handy so can`t check whether synchro with 9395 which is System G.

But that should have ended at 2330. Uplooked later, at this hour Cairo should be on 9885 in Arabic, unchecked. Otherwise in EiBi, 9900 is now the China/Taiwan radio war, CNR1 jamming from Beijing vs RTI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0331 UT August 10 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 236, Issue 10 *********************************************
