** CANADA. 15034 USB, Aug 2 at 0221, Trenton Military still on day frequency instead of 6754 USB! 0223 ID with time as 0220, three minutes slow. Hey, CHU is gone, so how should CHR know what time it really be? At least it`s not off the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Aug 2 at 0225, NO signal from RHC; Tony Pavick, BC, caught them in English here 72 hours ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 17655, Aug 2 at 0220, song in Asian language, S8/9+10 with flutter up & down and also sidewise Doppler; but is the SSOB except for 17675 NZ. EiBi shows CRI via Kashgar in Tamil, also next hour in Hindi; so off-the-back for us, or long path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 17545, Aug 2 at 1531, into Azores remote, S9+15/30 of dead air except for a low roar, so the marine weather for ``Mini-Atlantique`` boatrace from 1500 must have finished already. Sometimes they play fill music until almost 1600. Or ISS lost feed from race HQ? Today finally turned off at 1554*. This website explains all about it; roundtrip to Azores and back, expected to finish on Aug 11: https://www.destination-lessablesdolonne.co.uk/mini-atlantique/ But might end earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN. 21500, Aug 2 at 0217, dialog in Japanese, S9/+10, not bad vs HLNL of S9. EiBi shows NHK at 0200-0400 to S America, the OSOB. Yay, a 13m band station of which there are so few especially penetrating Hemisphere West! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. A bunch of Saturday night pirate signals, none strong enough to enjoy or ID, vs HSNL, but referring to HF Underground, UT Sunday August 2 at 0209-0214: 6960 AM, Aug 2 at 0209, S9/+20: Several unID logs here but as USB: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,167044.0.html But one says, ``better audio capture listening on USB side in ISB mode due to QRM hum on frequency``. 6955 AM, Aug 2 at 0210, pumping music with heavy beat, S9+20 like 6960 but sounds louder: some logs here as Liquid Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,167046.0.html 6947 USB, Aug 2 at 0211, strange noises intermittently; not sure if an intentional pirate: ``Waterfall Art`` reported on 6945 here with illustrations: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,167047.0.html one shows XRADIO vertically downside up. DaddyDave says, ``That is the waterfall art from MRI (Mix Radio International) with a rebroadcast, I believe, of Radio 48. All from the same transmitter`` 6940 USB, Aug 2 at 0212. something seems here, or is it bleed from the next one on 6935 USB? No HFU reports on 6940. 6935 USB, Aug 2 at 0212, rock music, S9+10/20: Radio 48 via Mix R International per many reports here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,167041.0.html 6900 LSB, Aug 2 at 0213, Peskies in Spanish, talking over each other; one uses ham lingo ``QTH`` -- oh, oh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, Aug 2 at 0253 UT, tuning my DTV converter box for whatever my rabbit ears can pull in, virtual 62-6 labeled GameSho but also AUDIO ONLY -- huh? That`s a TV net. Quickly check the others: also 62-3 labeled CourtTV but AUDIO ONLY. Don`t get video on any of the 62`s; and altho I get those two to show more than once, then they`re gone, evidently signal strength on verge; or some kind of test? Those subchannels do match rabbitears.info listings for KOPX OKC as if they had video and audio (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11820, Aug 2 at 0226, Romanian rock, 0228 Spanish announcement. In bandscan, 25m seemed totally dead till I hit this RRI Galbeni at S9+30/40 -- not only the SSOB but the OSOB! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 17620, Aug 2 at 1258, checking VOT`s first English of the day, S3/S7 direct, not in `Letterbox` as expected, but talking about Palestinian mothers killed since October. Normally I get L`box on the 1630 repeat on 11660. It must be short and/or earlier in hour this week. 11660.003+, Aug 2 at 1646, VOT `Letterbox` theme starts, S9+30/45 into UTwente. Cemre is amid her two-week annual leave in a resort town on the west coast, and is recording this on her balcony - yet includes the music sounders between items, post-produxion in studio? Temp has hit 42 degrees; can go to the beach only at 5 pm. Only 4 emails this week, 3 of them from India. 1) Javier Sánchez, Guatemala City, has a new XHDATA D808 radio. 2) Naj? Deen?, ---abad, W Bengal. 3) Siddartha Papajarjee, W Bengal, with 11 questions, two of which to be answered this week: Is there a fuel crisis in T, and has renewable energy strengthened security? Yes, costs are up, petrol is 67 TLira per litre = US$1.4; something else, Diesel? is US$1.6. Wind and solar energy sources are increasing. 4) - Chakroborty, New Delhi. Never got stamps that were promised. It`s on us, she says. Her manager has to approve any enclosures in mail, even stamps. 1656 that`s all; 1657 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Also with the parasitic spurs on 9917.1 and 9942.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 930, Aug 2 at 0658, still no WKY OKC audible, but atop the group now is ``93.3 FM and 930 AM, KWOC`` and weather. That`s U1 5000/42 watts at Poplar Bluff MO. Must be day power. Is a C2C affiliate, so maybe it`s what I heard last time instead of WTAD (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1190, Aug 2 at 0657, laley.com non-ID in Spanish. Previously traced to KREB Gentry AR, 3 kW DAYTIMER. Do they ever ID with callsign, legally? Why should they; on the air illegally at night. Try that website and it converts to a law firm.
