Usual greetings from family, lickety-split, some bits of music, frequent ``Happy Mid-Winter`` wishes, mostly to Rothera base. 2141 message from the head of BAS. 2143 ``Hot and wet and muggy in London`` song; 2144 imitating a leopard singing? 2150 bit of French; 2153 bit of Russian? 2154 Ain`t No Sunshine song; 2158 produxion credits as ACI from RRI 7310 starts so I switch to LSB; off by 2200 when there is also splash from 7300 China.

Two engineers from Bell Media, Dale and Gerry, who are also hams, VA6AD and V6QCT respectively, rebuilt the transmitter (partially with ham radio parts) and repaired the connection to the antenna with a temporary matching network. I am hearing it somewhat faintly here in Walla Walla, Washington but hope reception will improve as the day goes on. The temporary matching network means that not all the 100 watts are going into antenna.

Also traces of second orders, 2 x 60/61 kHz apart circa 13658, 13801, and maybe 3x = 13862. Something`s always wrong at RHC; compensates for lack of any this morning out of 13700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 13700, June 20 at 1348, JBA carrier rather than RHC spur-producer; presumably CNR-13 in Uyghur from Lingshi site until 1400. 13740 RHC is on at S9+20 but dead air!

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, June 23 at 1901, no signal from RHC English. Recheck around 1945 still none. In past this has shown up on 16180 instead, mixed up with a Cuban spy numbers outlet no doubt via same shared transmitter site, but not there now. I check a few other daytime Spy frequencies, but nothing; none really scheduled this hour; and 16180 now supposedly not until 2054. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRELAND [non]. 15170, June 22 at 1508, S9+10 into UTwente, not Kashmir Civitas program but ``Irish songs`` only as DJ says.

Ivo Ivanov had posted that they had added Friday broadcasts to Sat & Sun, via Woofferton. As usual, he does not give any source, which proved to be wrong.

Heavy tropo between Tulsa and here, but supposedly not quite reaching Enid, yet June 17 after 1505 UT, lots of BAD signals mostly correlating with Tulsa area market: RF 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 21, 22, 28, 34, 36 --- and only two decoding into my broken antenna: RF 20, KQCW-HD 19-1 with Dr Oz; this one has NO extra channels RF 26, KOTV-HD 6-1, main channel of 3 RFs for this one listed (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PERU. At 2325 UT June 22, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec, Brasil posted to the WOR iog: ``Hi all, On 6174 kHz Radio Tawantinsuyo of Peru back after months. Female talks. 73 Lucio Brasil`` Lúcio, Tnx for tip! That`s 1 kW OAX7C. No way I could get it direct with my high line noise level. A call is in to OG&E to work on that. But up to S8 via some S American remotes, and yes, off-off frequency about 6173.91v. Some great Andean music, Spanish announcements maybe from a live fiesta. Hearing it from 0030. O, I think it just went off at 0053. Then I find a webcast which worx for their 1190 MW outlet: https://www.facebook.com/1841454619421260/videos/524431232036999/ sounds like the same, extremely frenetic Andean music and yelling; 0101 ID; and then claims it is miércoles 2 de junio, buenos días, and soon TC for 11:06 de la mañana, more frequent TCs in the 11 am hour, so a non-live webcast-only program; timer countdown indicates it`s 57+ minutes long. Site says it was live about 3 weeks ago. I let it play. Plugs contacts with some FM stations elsewhere. Never mentions SW frequency, or 1190 for that matter. Player has still video of the musical group in native garb, and slowly scrolling label abottom, ``La Hora de Qataymasis`` -- ``La Expresión Andina`` -- ``con Sandro Huallpa A.`` Qatays are brothers-in-law: if you have one, call him that. Sandro mixes in some Quechua here and there. Audio file concludes with national anthem by conventional brass band. I did not close it out, and found it went on to play some other audiovideos, such as ``Todas las Sangres`` for a couple hours, with more interesting series of video stills. Comments indicate it`s more recent, for Dia del padre (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [and non]. 9475, June 20 at 1438, song at S7-S9, not WTWW; scheduled is National Unity Radio, in Korean at 1200-1458.

VG S9+10/20 via W8BUG remote in Knoxville-Oak Ridge close to the azimuth; which shows carrier offset of +33 Hz. Starts with classical piece, no announcement until 0203 by synth American-accented voice unlike patrician Cap`n Ric. Obstacle here is reading my hastily scribbled notes. e-QSL offer, requiring at least 20 minutes of details. Previewing 3 tunes at a time with title and performers and I try to copy at least the titles. First batch: Purple Rain, --?--, Happy Birthday. The last starts at 0215. 0221 next 3: Sun Goddess, Satin Doll, Somewhere Over the Rainbow. 0232: Love Me or Leave Me, Troubled Waters. 0254 QSL offer again, to texasradiosw@gmail.com Then Sunflower Slow Drag by Scott Joplin; finally more of Symphony #1 by Florence B. Price which started the hour, now only a sesquiminute from 0258 to 0259.5 WRMI ID. Enjoyable selexion of music. About Juneteenth: its very short notice declaration as an annual federal holiday left private and public entities scrambling about when and whether to observe it this year. On June 18th Friday, bank and PO here were open as normal on a weekday. Next year the real day, June 19, will fall on Sunday and I strongly expect the fed holiday will be observed on Monday 20 --- after all, MLK Birthday Jan 15 is shunted to Mondays. Of all holidays, Juneteenth should be most flexible over a 7-day span of teen-days from 13 to 19! And the earlier the better to space it out between Memorial and Fourth of July. It`s about time we had a holiday in June (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Swift reply from TRSW for copy of log report sent June 22: ``Ahoy Glenn - It's nice to receive your report, which is correct, and here's your eQSL. We're pleased you liked the music.

Ferraro, a three-way lament about the sorry state of domestic broadcasting, and how WBCQ is trying to preserve SW. But first, mandatory fiddling with mikes. By 0027 Allan says it`s 18 June YOOL 2021, on 7490 and 6160 tonight. Says there will be a lot more World`s Last Chance on Classic WBCQ - in addition to 9330; and also of Brother Scare; ``desperately trying to purchase WHRI, taking too long`` due to government delays in approval. WHVW is not online due to royalty charges which would be $3500 per month for a few listeners. Not even checked the SW frequencies here. John Carver`s version: Tonight's show started on time on 7490. A check two minutes in of 6160 had no program running there yet. Storm noise on both frequencies and het on 6160. Allan and Angela in the studio of WHVW with JP. Must be on their way to Maine. Opening talk about the state and fate of radio in this country. AM, FM and SW were covered. The consensus was that it was a combination of deregulation of radio by the FCC, corporate ownership, computer programming instead of Dee Jays, sameness of sound coast to coast and relaxing of ownership laws were all reasons for the state of radio in this country. While talking about how this affects shortwave, Allan did mention that the sale of WHRI still has not gone through and is being held up by the government and he has no idea why or when it will be resolved. Entire show was about radio this time. Two emails read at the end of the show. Closing prayer at 0059 and off the air at 0100.
