Annual BBCWS Midwinter special for British Antarctic Survey: no signals on all three frequencies direct at 2125 June 21: they should have run tuning signals for 5 minutes so recipients could settle on best frequency. So I go to an Argentine SDR which unwittingly provides sufficient reception. By 2129 there are tones on Woofferton 11685 at S9/+15 and 9585 at S9/+10, but no 9870 Ascension. WOF is slightly late JIP the programmme upcut at 2130! But now 9870 is on with a slightly better signal at S9+10/20 so I stick with it. Chinese ACI from 9875 must be avoided. Begins talking about observing penguins. 2135 about South Georgia. 2140 greeting from Director of BAS, Prof. Jean Francis (sp?). 2142 calling Rothera base. 2151 menu of a previous celebration. At 2153 I make a quick recheck direct: nothing better than JBA carrier on all three. Outro, hostess Cerys Matthews is pronounced Care-iss, with a hard C. Bits of music thruout, never a full piece, and closing with a snippet of `White Xmas`. Of course most of the programmme was greetings and love-yous from family members, including at least one from Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, I`ve realized that in DX bandscans the last several weeks, I have not run across any signal at all in Spanish from KOCD Okeene, R. Salvaci?n which is/was a 14 kW relay of KWDW-LP, 100 watts horizontal only in OKC, shown with a different name, R. Bautista Calvario. However KOCD is also horizontal only and my caradio has vertical antenna only. But I used to hear it fringily, so suspect it`s really silent. Only 50 km/31 miles (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri June 21 at 2202, token English from SNR, S9+10/30 into Maryland SDR, news; 2205 the Iberian lynx is no longer endangered, just vulnerable. 2207 interview about the Teatro Real developing ``American Fellows`` in the US. Has website with lots of operas, ballets, flamenco, etc., also from other opera houses. Maybe mentioned URL once in passing, uncopied. 2214 interview about how computer animation works, an exhibition ``The Science of Pixar`` in connexion with a new movie release; and I retune to TURKEY, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Fri June 21 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, s/on of the 1230 on 17620, S9+30/45 into UTwente; after listening to part of SPAIN, I pick it up at 2221: `Weekly Analysis` about relations with China, Turkey`s influence in central Asia but trade balance still favors China. Somebody visited Xinjiang. 2229 outro and into `Turkish Folk Tales`. 2237 music. 2242 `That`s Why` about electromagnetism in the human body. 2248 music. 2253 Ms Badax s/off as if 1230 on 17620, 2254 IS for a sesquitime, quickly chopped off, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28204.8 CW, June 21 at 1500, OBOB is EEEEEEEEEE DE KE4TWI/B and grid square not copied. Very localized sporadic E, as in WGB list: ``28204.8 KE4TWI/B - Adolphus area KY USA EM66?? - #0 (25 Apr 2024) Note: ID + grid - Ant vertical dipole 12w`` and QRZ.com: ``KE4TWI USA flag USA, James W Tewmey, 402 Karlee Court, Lebanon, TN 37087, USA. KE4TWI/B 28.2048 MHz is on the air again. For now, it's at my home QTH until I move it back to Adolphus, KY. Unless I am in the shack or there is lightning, it's usually on`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5920/5950, June 21 at 0645, horrible spur field out of PMS on WWCR 5935 which is S9+50 direct; various tones ever-changing; also noise field detectable out further to roughly 5910/5960. Something`s noxious at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring: confirmed Friday June 21 at 2054 the 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.994 kHz, S7 peak with complete fadeouts into UTwente across Europe, and storm noise. Also confirmed the 2030 on WRMI webcast only, which I had removed from sked when it failed to appear a few weeks ago. But I missed checking the Fri June 21 at 2200 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear it?

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.930, June 21 at 2201 quick check into Maryland SDR, this WBCQ provides S9+5 of dead air. At 2348 pre-`AAAWWW` check into NH SDR: 5130 is ON, -21 Hz and must be a different transmitter than before: 5129.979 at S9+15 and playing FKB preacher, instead of A*ATT! // 3265.128 at S7/9+5; 7489.931 at S9+10/20. 2359 Allan comes on with ID and WTO theme 0000 June 22. Complains he has blisters on blisters. 0003 brings in Angela on phone. 3 weeks ago his shoulder started hurting, arthritis. Has been working on power transformers this week; even in record heat of 96 F three days ago. Also working on 5130 Number 2 transmitter a lot. A 50 kW Collins made in 1953. Boosting power and modulation. Everything there is single-phase except the SuperStation. Denounces electric companies as Ponzi schemes. 0033 pause to say trimulcasting again but no datestamp; obviously this one is current and live. Wants to bring R. Angela service back on 5130 with good programming, but electric is outrageously expensive now; generally charges $50/hour, trying to hold to that. Household AC of 120V is most dangerous because it locks you up, paralyzing, unlike DC. 0056 apologizes for dominating the conversation about transmitter crap. 0058 a bit of email, Jerry from Nyack. Amazingly, hardly anything political, no mention of *rump or whether he will be back on 5130. 0059 prayer. As usual runs past 0100, JIP Hal Turner almost a minute late, and 3265, 5130 are still on. Under him I can JB still hear Allan talking to Angela on phone before they hang up by 0103, then some musical crosstalk on 5130 at least. Not rechecked until 0209 when 3265+ & 5130- are both off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. DXMAP shows FM DX sporadic-E nexus over eastern Arkansas, a bit too close to be effective here, but check it out in the car anyway, June 21 at 1716 UT. Isolated signal on 94.5 fading way in and completely out several times, ad for romanocars.com in Syracuse, and also Fayetteville, various brands: unseems two different stations, so is there a Syracuse in NC, likely direxion beyond AR? NO, but Fayetteville is a suburb of Syracuse NY! 1724 another ad mentioning Syracuse. So it is per WTFDA FMDB: WYYY 94.5 SYRACUSE NY 100.0 kW 198.0m 42-56-46 76-07-07 Y94 The 80s To Now Adult Hits ADULT CONTEMPORARY I see that I have also logged WYYY the past two summers. Total bandscanning bottom to top does not find any other likely Esignals. I take a break and resume at 1800, after DXMAP as of the hour until 1748 had the major nexus over central Illinois, which is just about right for midway to Syracuse. 1993 km/1239 miles 93.9 at 1800, Meximx briefly CCI to Watonga which is still modulating. Surely not KWDW-LP, cf OKLAHOMA. 95.3 at 1801, CCI to KOKC translator says ``Saratoga County, New York`` - unless it was mentioned on KOKC net news itself. Not enough to go on, but I investigate: there is only one station more than 1 kW in this part of NY besides LI, on opposite side of Adirondax from Saratoga County, and not too far from Syracuse in another direxion: WLFK 95.3 GOUVERNEUR NY 6.0 kW 100.0m 44-20-22 75-24-00 COUNTRY THE WOLF 95.3 2085 km/1296 miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0229 UT June 22 ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Sat, 22 Jun 2024 03:23:11 +0000 (UTC) From: Jota Xavier <odlano...@yahoo.com.br> To: Hard-Core-DX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com> Subject: [HCDX] JRX Logs: Jun 21-22, 2024 Message-ID: <958510577.8935964.1719026591...@mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 JRX Logs: June 21-22, 2024 Receiver: Tecsun S-2000 & XHDATA D-808 All times Universal Time CHINA ** Woman and man announcers present a recorded old program with chinese themes: History and Culture.
