``28.168 VA3KAH C KAH-SHE ISLAND, ONTARIO # 5W, DIPOLE new June 2011 QSY from 28.172 4 May 15. VA3KAH Canada flag Canada Ian Douglas Baines 33 Faircrest Blvd Kingston, ON K7L 4V1 Canada QSL: va3...@gmail.com We were assigned a 10 m beacon frequency by the IARU Region 2 HF Beacon Coordinator on January 12, 2011. The transmitter is a custom built digital beacon producing 10 watts output feeding a Solarcon A99 half wave vertical antenna on 28.168 MHz. The antenna base is 48' above the water. Vlad AA7DJ built the unit which is performing admirably.`` Much more info in huge illustrated webpage: https://www.qrz.com/db/VA3KAH ``Kah-She Island (EN95WC) Georgian Bay, Ontario (one of the Great Lakes) The little Island heard around the world. Updated September 2022 Kah-She Island is a privately owned 25 acre island in Georgian Bay.

Cairo must be reactivated after some weeks` missing from here for 2115-2245 English: S9/+20 direct, undermodulated talk I can`t be sure is English, and some music. 2230-2235 signal seems to weaken and more distorted but not the extreme as before. I undoze at 2246 to find it gone, just now? Can`t tell without a remote UTwente check whether this is still/again 5 Hz on the minus side. As of Jan 13 when it had been gone almost a month, I quit checking for it frequently but occasionally. Since then no other reports of 9440 while the 9900+ transmitter remained heard for some other emissions. Something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 14 at 0741, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati; due to lightning skirting Enid, temporarily on indoor longwire of unknown length, strung around ceilings of two rooms; and surprised to be hearing this even a bit stronger than normally on external E/W 100-foot LW. But no other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.001+, Feb 14 at 2346, VOT with sad song, S9+25 into UTwente well atop the CCCCCCI; first checked direct at 2327, was S7/S9 also with sad song. At least the English broadcast is on air unlike yesterday. 2353 s/off with full English sked but jumbled, 2355 IS, 2355.5* off unxovering XJPBS which is one Hz lower, 5960.000+, from EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2177 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday February 14 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/+20 direct; with Jeff`s ``world is in turmoil`` commercial a few words of which squeezed in between ID and WOR.

Music playing is `Telstar` by The Tornado[e]s, a really neat tune and one-hit wonder. 0200 no ToH ID but quoting Deuteronomy which ought to be off-topic! In this case, WWRB is gone for good, yet Aoki still imagines it; so Ted ought to be able to stay here, unlike a brief bit on 5085 which the real WTWW reclaimed. 4980 opened back up for East Turkistan a bit earlier along grayline, that is, XJPBS Urumqi in Uyghur, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, Feb 14 at 0736, no signal from WRMI-5, normally legacy Fámily Radio hour in Spanish. Certainly not due to propagation, since 9395 inbooms S9/+10 with SMTV cult, and 9955 S9+20 with TOMBS cult. I also notice supposedly 24h 9455 absent at various other daytimes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0024 UT February 15 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
