Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** ALASKA. 3250, November 5 at 0416, upward tones repeating. Walt Salmaniw says it`s HAARP testing again. I`m getting this via one of Don Moman`s SDRs in Lamont AB; H2Ofall shows mush up to 3400, the only two discrete signal lines JBV at 3215 WWCR, better 3330 CHU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 4 at 1746, no signal yet into Argentina remote; *1748 cuts on with song as I pause for [lunch], 1822 from talk to another song, S7/S9. 1836 LRA36 ID with RAE; 1827 ID with Universidad Nacional de Quilmes.

Recheck 2249, still on at S9/+10, and mostly music 2305+. At 2325 after music, sends Morse code: RADIO NACIONAL ARCANGEL SAN GABRIEL ---, and at 2326 ``a partir de este momento``, multi-ling ID and pretending to sign on again; to repeat another 5+ hours? 2329, ``una nueva emisión de `Uniendo Voces``, usual opening niceties, somehow mentioning ``nuestras Islas Malvinas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, by UT Sunday November 5 at 0010, LRA36 is off, no signal to Argentine remote; having as in last report, ``re-signed-on`` at 2326 Nov 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BOTSWANA. 9775, Nov 5 at 0314, rock music at S9+10/20 vs high line noise level about the same. It`s VOA English at 03-05. VOA spends entirely too much time playing music rather than info/news (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 28176 MCW, Nov 7 at 2303, beacon: DE VE3TEN. Not in WI5V list. Unusually, the carrier stays on continuously and between long pauses, ID in MCW = A2 modulated tones rather than plain CW on/and/off.

Cairo, news in English, lofi and somewhat distorted but tolerable modulation, S9+30 into UTwente. 2232-2241 Qur`aning snippets and lessoning in English, translating? Violating Separation Of Mosque And State. After all, the Fribbath has just passed. Distorted music, 2243 s/off, more distorted music to 2244.5 silence, to 2245* off. At least for B23, there is no more BBC to collide on 9440 at 22-23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, Nov 7 at 2125, R. Cairo, S9+35 into UTwente talking English about Egypt, overmodulated and distorted. Something`s amiss at Abis, but at least there is: something. Entering 9440 into UTwente with SynchAM displays 9440+ slightly, why? Switching 9440 to AM and back to SAM displays usual exact 9439.995 = axually slightly lower but rounding closest to .995 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21640.12V, Nov 3 at 1515, JBA MiniTransAt marine weather info from Issoudun, as always way off-frequency and constantly varying up and down. Only other 13m signals are 21660 and 21485; see SUDAN SOUTH [and non], and UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21640.124 oscillating up to 21640.158 and down again as measured by TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR, MiniTransAt, S6/S9, Nov 4 at 1534, YL in French and English rankings up to 51st - I didn`t think there were more than 30 on the first leg of the sailboat race. 1539 ``à demain`` and music starting with EU anthem on fife, medley of many more bits, not the classic rock tunes heard before, but must still drive Shazaam crazy. 1559 brief announcement, James Bond theme music until 1600* on the unstable Issoudun transmitter. However, in AM reception mode you might not notice, they hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21640.12V, Nov 6 at 1550, JBA wobbling carrier, obviously still Issoudun with MiniTransAt. I wonder when the winner will reach Guadeloupe, and then all the stragglers? Nov 23 is the out-date in HFCC, after a beam adjustment Nov 13/14. Only others on 13m: 21485 and 21690, both also TDF but in better shape (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN [non]. 7590, Nov 4 at 0628, Greekish? music, something new here, S9+10 vs intermittent line noise level of S9+20. 0630 Persianish news about Hezbollah, clips of SOS Blinken in English. I bet it`s Radio Farda. Yes: now listed 0230-0830 via KUWAIT. No jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. Bruce Conti, NRC IDXD ed., replies to my obs that 846 carrier is not being heard direct nor at Kaneohe, Oahu, KiwiSDR which used to hear it well: ``AsiaWaves lists R. Kiribati schedule 0000-0130, 0500-1005, 1825-2030, mwlist 0000-0130, 0530-0936 [12456], 1800-2000, and the September 2023 Pacific-Asian Log lists 0000-0130, 0500-0935, 1630-2030. [Conti]`` Well, 846 was certainly on air by 0430 if not earlier, last year, and it`s not clear if these listings be current. 1440 entry in Asiawaves is dated Jan 2020; and for 846, Oct 2020. Also, same UT sked for 1440 and 846 which are 2 timezones apart?? Is 846 a 100% relay // 1440? PAL explicitly states they are not //; but both off the air 0130-0500. I`ll certainly check Oahu later from 0500 or even 0530. If they are not //, why should each reference claim exactly the same timespans for both despite two timezones apart? I don`t find any Pacific in mwlist, hidden? Is Oahu or anyone hearing 846 deeper in the night to -0935, -0936 or -1005? Hardly ever any audio. It could also be that the carrier sometimes? stays on during the silent hours. That would not be reported as part of the schedule. It may really be totally off the air. Oahu remote at 0530 Nov 6 shows no 846 on waterfall yet suggests there is an inaudible signal fluxuating between -4.8 and +1.2 Hz. No different at 0600. I suspect that be a drawback of the SDR. Casually, one may not realize how far East K. is from West K: ``The islands extend about 3,900 km (about 2,400 mi) from east to west. From north to south they extend about 2,100 km (about 1,300 mi), straddling the equator. 4,468 mi {statute?} Distance from My Location (Enid, OK) to Kiribati`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 9445, Nov 3 at 0649, stilted English immediately recognizable as VOK, also distorted, S2/S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA SOUTH. 7720, Nov 6 at 0738, JBA music, presumably Echo of Hope for N Korea, VOH, sked 20 hpd at 07-03 per Aoki. Tnx to CST I am more likely to DX after 07 UT, yawn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 15125, Nov 8 at 1624, algo talk at S6/S8, best extracontinental signal on 19mb which is mostly vacant. EiBi shows CRI Arabic via Bamako to east Africa. Did not strike me as Arabic, maybe dialectical? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Nov 4 at 0635, RNZP achieves only a JBA carrier. Extreme variations in strength vs last time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 11510, Nov 3 at 1528, talk and also stronger 11550; I`m looking for Dengê Gel and Recep the Turkish jammer, but EiBi shows both are R Free Asia in Korean at 15-17 via TINIAN and SAIPAN respectively; did not realize they should be // (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. FM DX report Nov 7 under USA includes some OKitems ** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, Nov 4 at 0125 UT, astounded to see a full-blown infomercial - on TBN?? Did KTBO ``14`` OKC pick up a wrong satellite feed? Something about health/medicine, I guess, unknown if gospelhuxter undertone. I *never* watch TBN, but tuning across it. Same on cable 3 Optimum Enid. No, at 0130 TBN ID flashes and into `GAITHER A Legacy In Music` which is scheduled per TitanTV listings at 0000-0130, 0130-0300 and 0300-0400 UT. I guess the infomercial is part of that? I let it run on a monitor, and at 0209 another commercial! For OMEGA-XL. I know the lines are fuzzy, witness PBS, but aren`t TBN stations licensed as noncommercial? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Nov 2 at 0217 UT, K17JN-D, 3ABN network, Enid`s only local TV, is back on the air. I neglected to report Oct 31 at 1547 that it was totally off the air. But still, NO audio or video modulation, just silence and black, as it had been since at least October 7! SAWA (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local TV signal, Nov 8 at 0611 UT, is back! After exactly a month, since Oct 7 of wasted watts transmitting nothing but dead sound and black video on all subchannels - except for a brief break totally off the air. It was still so, checked a few hours earlier on Nov 7. But the lineup has changed: 17-1, K17JN-D, 3ABN main channel 17-2, & 17-3, skipped! nothing 17-4, 3ABN-ES = Spanish 17-5 & 17-6 & 17-7, skipped! nothing 17-8, AUDIO ONLY: 3ABN-RD - which means what? 17-9, AUDIO ONLY: 3ABN-RL - which means what? 17-10, AUDIO ONLY: Radio 74 I gather that virtual channel numbers displayed do not always match up with `real` channels, why? Previously, one of the AUDIO ONLY channels was always silent! Radio 74 network is also on 89.3 KIEL Loyal OK 3.8 kW south of Enid, semi-local but ACI from 89.1 Enid translator. Here is how it shows at https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=k17jn-d before they get this updated info from me; strangely it`s filed under Market #50, OKC, altho no one there is going to be able to see it.

Site is between N/S roads Imo and SH 132; just north of US 412, between E/W: East 410 Rd and East 420 Rd - designations I don`t recall ever seeing on road signs.

NO, not yet, soon announcement in Romanian. But at *1456 WRMI comes on with IS & ID loop by ex-bishop Bob Biermann. No break or RRI IS at 1458 as this is a HS relay until 1600, but accurate timesignal at 1500 and more music as WRMI starts Radio Africa. Jeff & RRI must have decided that this hour overlap between Galbeni and Okeechobee would not be a problem in respective target areas France and South America, and possibly it`s not, but why not avoid it anyway? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Nov 3 at 0652, RRI English is JBA beneath Cuban pulse jamming against no Martí ever at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Nov 5 at 0650, RRI English back up to VG S9+20/25 atop extraneous Cuban pulse jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Friday Nov 3 at 2300, token English from SNR, timesignal, s/on with program preview, news. At 2317 it`s an interview about the status of a lagoon at a national park in southern Spain due to climate change, vs demands for more irrigation; S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Monday November 6 at 2300, SNR repeats new overall sked effective Oct 29 but do not detail token English as M/W/F only at 2300-2330. Feature to be about ME situation, news. VG direct almost overcoming OG&E`s line noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 8 at 2300, token English from SNR still starts uttering basic B23 schedule with no language details, not even English, now a sesquiweek after effective Oct 29. After news, 2309-2319 first feature of interest is about the whistling language of the Canary Islands, Sr. Romero talking about it as Quintana translates - from Spanish, not whistlish. Too few examples of how it really sounds. Reception sufficient but some deep fades, direct into DX-398 with a few meters of clip-on antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 21485, Nov 3 at 1515, S6/S9 of talk but modulation breaking up rapidly. Per EiBi this is R. Tamazuj based in Holland, 1430-1600 via Issoudun, FRANCE. B23 Aoki misses this one completely. To make it as obscure as possible, HFCC lists this only as JRC in the Apd language. One of only three 13mb signals along with 21640V also FRANCE, and 21660, see UNID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TIBET [non]. 12125, Nov 3 at 1542, S8/S9 Chinese mixing with another lang at equal level. It`s CNR1 jamming vs RFA Tibetan at 15-16 via TINIAN. The imperialist ChiCom occupiers could at least have the courtesy to employ Tibetan language jamming but probably from outside Tibet due to skipzone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9700, Nov 3 at 0652, S6/S8 talk sounds more Turkish than Japanese. TRT at 310 degrees sked 04-07; NHK at 305 degrees at 05-08 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.017, Nov 3 at *2304, VOT cuts on late, JIP news in English, S9+30/35 into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. I was listening from 2253 on 5960.000 to snippets of Chinese martial music cutting on and off, i.e. PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, nominal start 2300 per EiBi, from EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. But once TRT is on, it obliterates XJPBS which was only S9/+10. Almost; still audible as an understation during pauses. Unfortunately VOT suffers from a constant squeal, like WEWN. I`d rather not listen. In background at 2314, I recognize the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel. By 2338 drifted to 5960.018. At 2340 I turn on UTwente`s Autonotch, but moxnix as the squealing is not a constant pitch. Narrow filter to 2.15 kHz rids it but makes what`s left even more lofi. 2352 s/off sked as usual mentions only 4 *other* English broadcasts in jumbled order, never this very one: 1330 on 13635, 1930 on 6050, 2130 on 7285, 1730 on 9660. Wait a minute: 2130 is supposed to be on 9610, while 7285 is at 0400! I bet this never gets corrected in the next pentamonth. And still going at 2400 opening extraneous German. At 2417 I realize that`s Chinese again instead of German, so TRT has turned off in the last few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 5960.001, Nov 4 at 2306, NO English signal from VOT, something`s always erroneous at Emirler; instead Chinese from XJPBS, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems, still thus at 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 6 at 2300, VOT JBA direct under OG&E line noise, but VG S9+35/40 into UTwente offset +002 Hz, rather with lite understation CCCCCCI as usual. News until 2320, then `Review of the Turkish Press`. 2323 always-by-your-side promo, and `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` on benefits of okra (?) seeds, I think, or Oprah? 2330 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2332 music. 2336 `New Day, New Choices` with ``La Bamba`` theme, badax on microchips smaller than a grain of sand; music. 2345 `Did You Know That` news of Atatuerk`s death on Nov 10, 1938 resounded worldwide. 2350 song. 2353 sign-off with partial sked almost totally wrong. Clueless announcer. Each of the times labeled ``UTC`` while they are mostly really local UT+3!! Sic: 2230-2330, 0030-0130, 0200-0300 on 5960, 9660 at 2030-2130[correct Z], 07-08 on 6125, 7285. But ``pre-recorded at 23-00 & 04-05[corrects]``. 6 notes of IS before chopoff, uncovering Chinese; no finesse. Something`s always awry at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.005, Nov 7 at 2325, VOT VG into UTwente, S9+25/35 after not getting it at all direct vs my line noise. Atop slight CCCCCCI as usual, ending `Weekly Commentary`; 2320 with-you-every-hour promo, music; 2331 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`; 2333 music; 2337 always-by-your-side, music; 2343 multi-lingual ID filler reel, music; 2352 s/off more accurate than yesterday but incomplete sked voiced by the better-spoken YL than the badax: 1330 13635, 1930 6055, 2130 7285 =wrong, 1730 9660. 2353 IS, 2356 restart IS with German IDs, 0000 opening German until chopoff at 2412.5* uncovering Chinese. Something`s always awry at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, VOT extra German cutoff time in last report should have read 2412.5* not 2312.5*, i.e. -0012.5* Nov 8. Also, one sked version says 7285 is correct for 2130-2230 English, and also at 0400-0500. But HFCC still shows 9610 at 2130; which is it? I check Nov 8 at 2200 into UTwente: nothing on 7285; 9610 with about equal mixture of poor signals, one of which sounds like VOT English, the other Chinese? Aoki shows CNR8 in Mongolian from Beijing 491 site, and VOT English. 7285 would be better. 5960, here`s a new erroneous at Emirler! Via UTwente, S9+25/40, Nov 8 at 2346 amid Turkish music, brief announcement not in English; more music, another very brief presumably Turkish announcement, music until chopoff at 2356*. That`s the normal endtime for English. Uncovers the CCCCCCI which has been underneath. Wrong program feed and no one noticed. After 2300, only English is scheduled anywhere on SW, but Turkish HS presumably runs 24h, supposed to be in a SW break per HFCC, until 2200* on 6120, resuming at *0100 on 6000 (Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U A E [and non]. 21660, Nov 2 at 1449, S7/S9 listed as BBC Somali via DHA; echoey. Only other 13m signal sounds just the same, on 21485, S7/S9, but listed as ISS, FRANCE, JRC in the Apd language, Nov 2 at 1447. My log scribble looks like 21495 but must have been this again, and HFCC has nothing on 21495 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 17780, Nov 2 at 1454, S7/S9 algo here. HFCC shows BBC in Hausa via ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKQOGBANI. 25900, Nov 6 at 1658, BBCWS in English from Woofferton toward South Africa, JBA S6 direct vs S5 line noise level. Complaint filed again to OG&E, and another 9-digit workorder assigned. This time I had to wait and listen to their phone music and promo filler loop for only 15 minutes instead of promised 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 356 MCW kHz, Nov 3 at 0704 UT, ND beacon ODX is JBA vs S9 line noise level here which is worst on LW, making it a struggle to hear any beacons. 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 26110 FM, Sat Nov 4 at 2017 UT, coverage of stupid ballgame, presumably foot, clue such as ``end zone``, S5 but steady and sufficient. No doubt KMK282, the studio audio of KOVR or KMAX, Stockton or Sacramento CA. I`ve frequently tuned past here but first time heard in some weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 26110, Nov 6 at 1552, JBA NBFM talk, no doubt KMK282, studio feed from KOVR/KMAX California. A while ago found huge FCC list of such licensees, most or all of which surely inactive, but can`t refind it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 26110 FM, Nov 7 at 2300, tone not fully quiet but definite signal, no doubt KMK282 Stockton/Sacramento. Gone a few minutes later. Lots of 10m CW beacons such as K6FRC on 28300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17700, Nov 2 at 1850, S9/+20 open carrier, VOA warming up Grimesland, back here for French on ``VOA Afrique`` at 1930 as sked 1900-2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 11870, Nov 3 at 1530, ``Welcome to the Voice of America in Burmese``, i.e. Myanmarianese; S5/S6. I thought he said Chinese but Burmese listed: one of those ``-ese`` langs. This also explains why it`s not being jammed. Via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

APRS map at 1930 does not include Nebraska, beyond southern KS, and into north TX. Then car required for its original purpose. This hour of FMDXing led to at least 3 hours of research and compilation. Each DX log a potential learning experience (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Nov 3 at 0650, RV music S3/S4, unusually stronger than 9955 WRMI which is a JBA carrier beneath Cuban jamming. I`m hearing 9960 just about every night before 0700 tho not always reported (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [non]. 11700, Nov 3 at 1529, S Asian lang, 1529 VR IS, S5/S7. It`s Malayalam at 1510-1530, via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES; violating Separation Of Church And State. Why is the USG propagating one particular RCC sect? O yeah, it`s an ``exchange`` as if USAGM need relays via Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 408 kHz, Nov 5 at 0311, JBA carrier detected here, most likely JDM, 25 watts at Colby/Wheatfield, NW corner of KS, as the only two others are in WA & AB. Only NDB I can detect vs line noise level, except from OK 341 EI and 515 PN. At least the storm noise level has dropped. Normally would detect 407, 25 watt HRU Herington KS, closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers: not searched whole band amid S9+20 line noise level but manage to detect a couple, Nov 2 at 0640 UT, no doubt SPAIN, 855-2 and 1044 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier check Nov 3 at 0710 UT: JBA on 621 and 711 kHz, surely RNE Canarias and neighborly Moroccan from occupied ``Spanish West Africa`` as in mwlist. Such ending in --1 are axually easier to spot than further splits, since the --0 N American stations provide no splash and quieten the frequency when tuning USB. Same would apply to those in --9 if I ever tuned in LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers, Nov 4 at 0536, picking some likely spots to tune USB 1 kHz below: 531, 684, 711, 774, 855, 999, 1125 - likely Algeria, Spain, Western Sahara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7828 USB, Nov 4 at 0632, the echoey tones are back as previously reported, S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7828 USB, Nov 5 at 0319, pulsing, echoing tones are back. Doug White previously suggested this could be experimental HF Trading station WM2XZV, Batavia IL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7854.4 LSB, Nov 2 at 0647, QRM to 7850 RC USB, CHU, finally resolved here, 2-way in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 21660, Nov 3 at 1515, algo here one of 3 sigs on 13m besides 21485, 21640V. Aoki shows BBC Somali at 14-16 via UAE but only on Day 7 = Saturday, and this is Friday. HFCC and EiBi show nothing after 1500 but until then BBC Somali at 14-15 is via Vatican M-F, UAE Sat/Sun; really, why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 26220-26420 approx., Nov 4 at 2020 in bandscan, regular pulsing maybe CODAR but seems a bit too fast for that, too slow for OTH radar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 26375 USB, Nov 4 at 2019, 2-way in Spanish, maybe ``freebanders`` below rather than above 27 MHz CB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 35790, Nov 4 at 2022, JJBBA carrier. Checking out a tip from Don Moman, Alberta, to the WOR iogroup that he was getting Radio Martí, 3rd harmonic // 11930! It seems the F2 MUF is hitting 40 MHz now, and he`s rather far from Grimesland for it to be sporadic E. To me, Es distance would be good, but too close for F2. Harmonix tend to favor odds or evens, so if the MUF rise further, check for X5 on 59650, which my R75 will barely tune, just below the old NTSC TV ch A2 FM audio frequency 59750. Neither he nor I were getting it there nor on 11930 X 2 = 23860. Also check anyway X4 = 47720 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING STEPHEN COLBERT ON GUNS & LEWISTON, seriously pick this up at about 6:40 into, or watchear the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C__x_wuG8s8
