** COLOMBIA [and non]. 10125, June 13 at 0637, HK3QQ with usual slow
CW letters in keyboard order QWERTY... with errors as previously
explained, and Oz-accented ham in USB phone despite ``30 meters``
being non-phone; not really QRMing each other (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, June 13 at 1527, no signal from RHC, but this time
11760 is still on. Propagating on 19m are US 15825, 15770, 15750-DRM
and barely 15555 USB. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9439.995, June 13 at 2204 direct, R. Cairo is on but
unreadable; via UTwente at 2223, R. Cairo detectably in English,
undermodulated, distorted, and with hum, S9+20/35 and back on
signature -5 Hz offset. Something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA [non]. 7255.00, June 13 at 0632, dead carrier off & on, in
routine nightly check for VON, incredibly not off-frequency, matching
neighbor VANUATU 7260.00. Assume a ham testing or spoiling (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 11800.000, June 13 at 2205, RRI English is good direct,
S4/S8 with slight CCI, presumably NHK one-hour overlap direct from
Japan. 2224 via UTwente, VG S9+40/50 and no QRM. This is a convenient
alternative for English at 22, vs Turkey 11785 missing like today, vs
Spain 17855 et al., no English on Tuesday, and Cairo 9440 horrible
modulation when on like today. RRI topix, 2224 literature and
censorship, 2229 concluding sports report, into folk music. Usual wide
variety of subjects, VG accents and modulation too. Beam switch and
2300 Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. Fixing a couple obvious 21+, 23+ typos in the times:
11785.009, June 12 at 2208, VOT English, VG S9/+15 into
UTwente, also VG modulation -- except in music somewhat
overmodistorted. `Review of the Turkish Press`, Istanbul airport
setting records as busiest in Europe - over 1,000 takeoffs and
landings in one day. 2210 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2213 song with
drumming. 2215 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` on preventing
fatty liver, #1 best food: artichokes. 2223 song. 2227 `New Day, New
Choice` - a new feature? About plans for Turx to go to ISS, physical
spex and training, defecation methods. 2235 multi-lingual ID filler
reel, *again*. 2237 `Did You Know That` Antolya is the home of grape
cultivation - this one by the badaccentedess so at first I thought she
was saying ``grave``. 2241 ``Always by your side`` promo, music. 2245
multi-lingual ID filler reel *AGAIN*, third time this hour, how lame,
more distorted music. 2252 s/off by badaccentedess with usual partial
English schedule not including this one. 2254 IS. 2257 still going
with German ID: ...
11785, June 13 at 2204 check direct, NO signal from VOT; nor at 2222
into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7730, June 13 at 0635, this WRMI is still off, compared to
usual weak presence on 7780. Also at various daytime chex via various
remotes still no 7730 signal. Nothing about it on disgraced FB. I`ve
asked Jeff what`s the situation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Re this May 31 FM DX log:
``95.1 at 1553, sports talk, ad for ACEwin.com which leads to Hong
Kong.
No sportstalk in OH, PA, NY. How about plain talk which could
encompass sports? Only talker in PTA is near Rochester and pronounced
how? After Canadian CCI, 1555 Rochesterevents.com:
WAIO 95.1 HONEOYE FALLS NY HD TALK RADIO 95.1 50.0 146.0 43-02-01
77-25-18 1586 RADIO 95-1 Classic Rock format is: TALK and ROCK mix
1877/1166``
Greg Hardison, another GH, replies: ``"...and pronounced how?" ---
hun-ee-O'-ee, I firmly believe`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, June 13 at 0633, R. Vanuatu again stronger than
before, S8/9+10. Note Ron Howard`s comment about what often airs circa
0630:
``Also of interest is the often heard at 0630 UT "Service Message
Announcement" program, recently well heard in Bislama with a public
notice to anyone entitled to property from the estate of a named
deceased person (died 15th May 2001); the message was authorized by
the court; program always starts and ends with distinctive indigenous
drums; this program is not heard daily, but is frequently aired. My
audio is at
