** CHILE. 28435 USB, Sept 2 at 2223 ham calling CQDX in English, JBA,
then 2226 improves as CA3PHX Mauricio, Spanish contact with Puerto
Rico. 10m has been dead for weeks, not even any beacons, and none now
either, but one other SSB unID. QRZ.com: ``CA3PHX Chile flag Chile,
Mauricio "Mauro" Pacheco, La Florida , santiago chile, +56984082037,

** MALI. 5990-5995-6000, Sept 2 at 0627, rough noise blob again
instead of ORTMod. Rodney Johnson also reports Sept 2: ``Greetings
From Minnesota! The "rough noise" is back. I started listening to 5995
kHz at around 0555z and it was no signal with significant background
noise. Then at precisely 0601z the "rough noise" signs on! No remedy
yet, unfortunately. 73s -Rodney``

Ron Howard replies: ``Hi Glenn & Rodney - Sept 2 (Wednesday),
listening via southern California KSDR remote at Palomar Mt. #1, from
0825+ UT, to Radio Mali (9635); unique African pop music/singing,
along with heavy QRN (static); poor reception; audio was fine so the
problem you both heard seems to be fixed. My two minute musical remote
audio - https://app.box.com/s/1qoje6npd6e1ggrjt02hgvi2af3eaqrr 
Ron, Monterey, California`` -- I don`t think that problem has ever
been reported on their 9635 day frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 5140 USB, Wed Sept 2 at 1400, NCS Ernie, WPFY721
Seminole, opens the Oklahoma Operations Secure Test HF Net, anyone
immediately? Then roll call. Line noise level is S9, and most signals
weaker than that if at all. WPFY721 signal occasionally surges
briefly; as he rotates antenna? He calls each once with callsigns I am
not trying to recopy, but consult May 13 log for more details. Beckham
County, Broken Arrow, Byng, Durant* Bill ``L&C``, Leflore County,
Moore EOC, Ponca City* Jason ``L&C``, Pontotoc County, Stillwater.

Missouri? Jefferson City* JBA, Camden County. 1405 WPFY721 closing net
as of 0906 CDT. *answered and also audible here. I wonder how they
decide which ones to call, as some are no longer tried, yet others
never reply. Also if there ever be a real emergency, will comms occur
on this frequency? If not, where? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. On Sept 1, I asked John Zondlo: ``Hi John, Could you
check whether K17JN-D is really on the RF17 air now in OKC? Has
vanished from Enid and supposedly now licensed to OKC, from the shared
Tyler tower on SE 50th. With the 3ABN galaxy. Also, still mis-IDing as
K17JI-D? Tnx, Glenn`` - his reply Sept 2:

``Hi Glenn, Yes, K17JN-D is on RF17 now in OKC. I was wondering why
3ABN wasn't on 21 now. BTW, 17 has streams on 1-4 and 6, but no 17-5,
and the only ID is on 17-6. John`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, Sept 2 at 0625, this WRMI is extremely distorted; a
carrier could be detected amid the mess. S9+25. Tried tuning FM mode,
no better. If I knew how to reach by email whoever is running Okee at
such a late hour, I might have tried to notify ASAP. I did check the
other frequencies and they were OK. Notified Jeff later. He was on way
back from Armenia, ``Glenn: It appears to be not a transmitter
problem, but an audio processor problem. They’re working on it. Jeff``

hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Re 1 kHz tone on 660 gh heard, Jon Pearkins, AB: ``I
realize that the discussion of KAPS was not about the 1 kHz tone, but
I just double checked my notes and I was getting Country music from
the SW, which surely would have been KAPS {Mount Vernon WA}, at the
same time as the 1 kHz tone. Thinking about it now, KEYZ seems the
most likely candidate for the 1 kHz tone.`` - that is, KEYZ Williston
ND U4 5/5 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
