report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 9665.289, Aug 12 at 0646, RVM is back on, familiar choral
hymn in English, sung by kids, S5/S7. Its other frequencies are much
weaker as always: 5940.21 at 0638 JBA carrier vs HSNL; 11750.009, at
0651, S3/S4, amazingly close to nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Aug 12 at 0649, HK3QQ is unusually missing, no
keyboard letters in sequence with errors. Despite my frequent logs of
this, it seems no one else is reporting it, except Paul Kemp, May 21
in an FB group; but same was heard on 7092 in 2021y, per HF
Underground, not realizing the `random` letters were really keyborder
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIZUELA. 4940, Aug 12 at 0630, Colombia para Cristo relay
station is missing again tonight, and always? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Aug 12 at 0631, R. Rebelde is not off the air, S9+20/30
but undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6200.00 AM, Aug 12 at 0640, JBA carrier, presumed,
R. Eastern Star pirate. Only other 6200 in Aoki is Tibet for long
hours including daytime like now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 34, August 12 at 0334 UT, area tropo is up with storms
in central OK, not here, boosting this signal into decodability,
KWRW-LD, which is 15 kW ERP from SE OKC, about a block east of I-35,
and between SE 21 & 22 Sts., direxional NW which must help, vs several
other BAD signals. Led by Heartland on 33-1 plus six others matching
rabbitears.info info. Bug is a red heart in LR corner, enclosing an
outline of a cowboy hat (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 13635, Aug 12 at 0658, Turkish music, S9/+10. One of best
22m signals every night, VOT Turkish language service. At 0700 no
timesignal, into presumed news with stingers. Sked all the way from
0600 to 1255 per Aoki. HFCC agrees it`s the only 13635 anywhen, 500
kW, 310 degrees for western Europe, and we lie directly beyond (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.179, Aug 12 at 0632, obviously the WBCQ experimental
transmitter is back on air. Was last heard on July 26 despite nightly
chex. Novelty music sounds familiar; 0635 it`s Sir Scratchy! So they
are playing `Behavior Night`; good since I missed its normal airing
Friday at 2100 on 7490v. Bad since too much OK storm noise, S9+10.
Sounds like could be more than a few hundred watts now. Will this be
running 24/7 again? Plans to morph Radio Angela into ``R. Trump
International``, yechhh. BTW, `AAAWWW` this week was rerun of last
week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9395, Aug 12 at 0648, TOMBS on WRMI but again with lite RTTY
warble on plus side, whence? Couldn`t happen to a christer guy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 12 at 0642, island music at S9/+10 as R. Vanuatu
continues to amaze with only 10 kW; like this every night when not
relogged (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 1936 UT August 12
