** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 26 at 1433-1543, never any signal
this Wednesday from LRA36 into Argentine SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA: WRMI: 7570
** CANADA. 300 MCW kHz, Oct 26 at 0626 UT, dash and YIV, 500 watt NDB
at Island Lake, Manitoba. Last logged last year, Dec 26 and 8. It`s in
NE Manitoba, beyond coverage of my Rand McNally road atlas. Reader`s
Digest Great World Atlas has it: near the Ontario border at the
southern end of the NE/SW boundary. Viz.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Lake,_Manitoba
YIV is the only N American on 300 per dxinfocentre.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 6060, Oct 26 at 0619, RHC English, S9/+10 and
undermodulated, nowhere else on 6 or 5 MHz; how many kW? Not
unusually, inferior to *1 kW* CFRX neighbor on 6070, which is S9/+10
and louder, but also with a SAH, presumably Channel 292, Germany
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN [non]. 5985, Oct 26 at 0400, no signal from WRMI-2. NHK in
Spanish was scheduled here and nowhen else, even direct. I believe
that language was totally canceled by NHK some months ago. HFCC B22
shows no Spa anywhen, anywhence:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B22&broadc=NHK
Nor for A22, 5985 last appearing for B21.
WRMI transmission skedgrid shows nothing 24h on 5985; yet the program
schedule below still shows a ``System K`` for nothing but this. Aoki &
EiBi still show some other programming on 5985 WRMI. 5985 was
nullified long before Hurricane Ian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 26 at 0615, no signal from VON direct. No
signal at 1803, 1850 into Canary remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 26 at 0624 UT, SW, ND beacon at
StillWater, now confirmed on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1640 KZLS // 1390 KCRC Enids, Oct 26 at 0640/0642 UT,
both are in dead air instead of sports talk (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 26 at 2200, token English from REE on Wed, first
checked direct: NAm frequency is back on, but poor not propagating so
well toward the end of A-season, also undermodulated? 15520 VP, 11940
NO signal so must be off since 11670 is audible but poor. By 2207 I`m
checking Maryland remote: YL interview about something: 17855 S2/S3,
15520 JBA, 11940 OFF, 11670 despite normally the worst here, for
Africa, is poor S3/S4 making it the best, but also with squeal.
Something`s not right at Noblejas.
From Oct 30 the Bquencies are likely to be 9690 NAm, 12030 ME, 11940
SAm, altho a number of new alternatives have been registered; but for
Africa it`s either 17755 or 21620, neither of which will be any good
over here by 2300; as everything including English will be one real UT
hour latened (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 26 at 2200, VOT English is JBA direct, but by
2213 into UTwente it`s S9+40/45, with scratchy over/modulation, as
something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2216 concluding `Review of
the Tuerkiyeish Press`. Music bit and 2219, `Weekly Commentary`, by
Thomas Alford? who has written for Spectator, SCMP et al., but read by
the heavily accented YL, titled ``Britain's Political Peril Is
Unlikely to End with Sunak``. Not sure of his name, I search on that
exact title and leads directly to full text at TRT World:
https://www.trtworld.com/opinion/britain-s-political-peril-is-unlikely-to-end-with-sunak-61921
where I notice that the ESL reader simply skips over words she does
not recognize or know how to pronounce, while mispronouncing others.
His name is Thomas O. Falk. At the bottom, individuals are invited to
email their own opinion pieces to TRT. Maybe he did exactly that, so
it`s original with TRT. Otherwise the subject has no relevance to
Turkey. 2230, next show is ``Cooking Files``?? No, I still can`t
comprehend the title; it`s not about recipes, but space exploration
