** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA WRMI 9455
** CHINA [non]. 9790, July 26 at 0430, CRI Cantonese S9+40/45 but JBM
with squeal. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, July 26 at 0040, RHC dead air in English? S7/S9 direct.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5990, July 26 at 0040, Spanish on CRI relay undermodulated
S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, July 26 at 0424, JBA carrier, presumed RHC per
previous track record, daytime frequency at night, as nothing else is
scheduled. 15230 also still on, JBA, nominally to 0500 tho China also
sked. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also
CHINA [non]
** CUBA. 11850, July 26 at 0425, RHC Spanish JBM, always with
parasitic JBA spur carriers on 11840, and QRMing jamming against
nothing on 11860. 11850 is *never* heard with decent modulation, yet
the incompetents keep running it thus. Aoki & EiBi both say 21-05 via
Quivicán but miss the spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
26 de julio! Time for my annual tribute to The Revolution with a
modified motto: ``Patria o suerte, ¡pensaremos!``, or ``Patria o
suerte, ¡huiremos!`` Once again I invite photographic evidence of
either being scrawled upon any public surface in Cuba, preferably
identified (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, July 26 at 1938 UT, KIMY Watonga has finally
resumed modulation after ~2 days of dead air (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
** ROMANIA. 11800, July 26 at 2203, RRI English, VG modulation and
signal S9+45 into UTwente. News about security situation along Black
Sea due to Russia`s war. 2206 sports about a swimmer. 2207 about
severe weather in July, heat alerts up to 42C in shade, hi winds to 90
kph, rain measured in litres per square meter. I wonder what would be
the conversion factor to our ``inches``. 2211 end of newscast, Sports
Club, on 89th birthday of Leon Rachman?, Olympic champion in 1956,
went from wrestling to wrowing. 2214, `Hit of the Day`, a nice song
``Inseparable``. 2217 ID and `Society Today`, 62% have never stepped
in a Museum and only 33% go in once or twice a year. Experts are
worried about figures but not panicked. Musea should actively attract
visitors rather than passively wait for them to show up. 2224 music
break, song called ``Time``. 2227 `Visit Romania`, travel feature
about where to hike in eroded mountains. 2231 `Focus on Romania` as I
started to record for listening later, but somehow it stopped.
Apparently UTwente froze or went offline, still off when I checked by
2320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, July 26 at 2200, no-show of VOT English into
Maryland or UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; so I
take the opportunity to hear RRI simulEnglish on 11800, see ROMANIA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2200 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.
Dear Glenn: confirming World of Radio #2200, This the only time it was
loud and better
reception during past fews days, WRMI:

Richard``
Confirmed Tuesday July 25 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/25 into Missouri
SDR.
Also confirmed Wednesday July 26 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -70 Hz =
7489.930, S7/S8 good into Maryland SDR; followed at 2130 by `Plain Old
Doug Show`, music-only, no announcements, he said, but did so at 2144.
Next:
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** U S A. 9455, July 26 at 0058, RAE multi-lingual IDs, S9+10 direct
but just barely modulated again. 0059.5 cut to canned ``Everglades``
WRMI ID with OK modulation, 0100 rejoin JBM RAE multi-lingual IDs.
Transmitter grid does show 0000-0200 System K at 0100 going from
Japanese hour to Spanish RAE. But bright green System K sked itself
shows 9455, two hours of `Legends` at 0000-0200, except Sundays `The
Mighty KBC`. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5130.1 approx., July 26 at 0421 direct, JBA music in HSNL,
as WBCQ 300-watt 24/7 test? continues, why? At least the juice bill on
this one would not be a problem, but hardly viable (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. Large tropo blobs have developed N and E with Enid on the
edges, so DTV bandscan, July 26 from 0455 UT. BAD signals on RF: 36,
35, 34, 31, 26, 22, 21, 17, 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.
RF8, decoding: KPTS also virtual 8, PBS Kansas from Wichita. Not far
but I rarely get this on my OKC-directed antenna. And it`s in solid,
so I explore all its subs: 8-2 Explore, 8-3 Create, 8-4 Kids. I`m
unfamiliar with Explore, one sub-brand of PBS? Instead of `World` on
OETA-2. I go to the websked, and see some of the same programming, but
others never in OK, like `Democracy Now`! KPTS also offers live video
of 8-1 and 8-4, but requires location info, then denies me as
``outside coverage area``! AFAIK, OETA is not geo-restricted for its
main PBS channel streaming. Could others outside OK in USA and even
elsewhere try it? Claims ``anytime, anywhere`` but despite the
separate 100% PBS Kids on OETA-4, OETA-1 is nothing but kidvid all day
weekdays: https://www.oeta.tv/live/
Ironically, I am not in OETA coverage area right now, 13, KETA ``13``
a bad signal not decoding. Besides local harmonic of KNID 107.1 on
214.2 right in RF 13 video band which is always a problem, tropo is
probably knocking it out with DX QRM. There are three full-power 13s
in KS: KUPK Garden City ``cupcake``, cute satellite of KAKE ``10``, 63
kW ERP; KFJX Pittsburg, 45.1 kW; and WIBW Topeka, 65.5 kW, all per FCC
info.
The only other decodes now are from Tulsa market, axually drawn in
from Muskogee & Okmulgee; 20 KQCW 19-1, and 28 ION 44-1 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. A few weeks ago, two of my favorite streaming stations from
my homestate of NM, started failing when pressing button on own
homepages: KUNM Albuquerque, but got it to work on Winamp; KSFR Santa
Fe not even that way. I dislike streaming aggregators, but finally try
that for KSFR and do get it via
https://onlineradiobox.com/us/ksfr/?cs=us.ksfr&played=1
in `Map Is Not Territory`, with The Invisible Man, UT Wed July 26 at
04-06. And also anticipate `Beyond Borders`, Thu 15-18 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.141, July 26 at 0641, JBA talk vs HSNL, maybe
English. Nothing listed in Aoki or EiBi, but HFCC shows BULGARIA
on 7300 at 0200-0600, 100 kW at 110 degrees. Possibly TOMBS via
Sofia, tho not typically so far off-frequency, and rather late to
propagate. Nor anything listed anywhere on 7295 or 7305 at this hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7431.55 USB approx., July 26 at 0045, apparent MARS net.
Had a hard time finding the sweet spot for readability due to weak and
intermittent signals, HSNL. Most calls truncated, 5 + two letters.
Mixed with some digibursts. Adjacent QRM from 7435 jamming against
nothing, Martí not there at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
