** AUSTRIA. 15265, Aug 21 at 1509, talk at S9/S7 with flutter, the
next to SSOB behind 15140 Cuba. EiBi shows AWR Turkish at 1500-1530
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Aug 21 at 0628, tonite`s RHC overtime frequency,
undermodulated English talk by dull expressionless YL, S9+10/30
direct. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, Aug 21 at 1506, two musix on slightly
different beating frequencies, no doubt the current chosen spot for
Recep`s jammer to collide with Dengê Welat allegedly via Uzbekistan.
No other signals now in this 17450-17495 area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. LW monitoring has been stymied by high storm and
high line noise levels. But I can tell that SW 255 kHz Stillwater OK
and RG 350 kHz OKC are still off the air. Still on are PN 515 kHz
Ponca City, and EI 341 kHz Enid (Glenn Hauser, Enid, Aug 20, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 21 at 2030 UT, KOCD Okeene continues its
dead-air streak since at least August 9 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 21 at 2210, token English from SNR, VG
direct, about the Spanish civil war *1936, 100,000? in mass graves
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 21 at 2223, VOT English, S9/+10 direct,
multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2225 `Did You Know That`, slight
distortion exacerbated by the badax, can only understand an occasional
word: o, it`s a repeat about yogurt mentioned a few times as well as
Istanbul. Off the air by 2300 recheck this time (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2204 monitoring: again this week
NOT confirmed Sunday August 20 at 2000 on WRMI webcast only, rather
sounds like ``world music`` filler; despite WOR listing on skedgrid.
But at same time, Sunday August 20 at 2000, yes, reconfirmed on WRN
webcast of European stream; and on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz,
S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR. Whew, since our other time on 1323,
Friday at 2030, was replaced without notice by something else.
This was after a music show featuring something from Gambia, outro at
2059 as on IRRS but I never hear any program title. O, on sked it is:
`IPAR - 16 Gwendoline Street` as part of International Public Access
Radio, which also applies to this WOR broadcast. But what in the world
is significance of that street address? Top hit on broad search leads
to Raceview, Queensland, 4305. Another is in Mount Gambier, South
Australia, 5290. And another in Glenholme, Rotorua District, 3010, New
Zealand. Yet another in Price Town, Nant-y-moel, CF32 7PN, which
judging from the strange names and postcode must be in UK. Yes, Wales,
as in CardifF, and several more in UK!
One recent DX website says:
``QSL 16 Gwendoline Street via IRRS-NEXUS 1323 kHz
August 4, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments
As a follow up to my previous post: I received a kind email from
Stephen Jones (gwendolinestreet(at)gmail.com), the producer of “16
Gwendoline Street”. I received this program via IRRS-NEXUS, Italy,
1323 kHz. Stephen wrote that the program I received a program that was
made by Rose from Radio Northern Europe International while he was
visiting a poetry festival on the Isle of Wight.
“16 Gwendoline Street” has been on air via IRRS since 2007. Focus is
mainly on a core group of dedicated listeners to what Stephen
describes as “Loosely Arts based”.``
That still does not explain why it names a programme, and I doubt it
would work as a postal address for reception reports. Posties also
might mistake it as an attempted delivery address rather than
addressee name. But I digress.
WOR 2204 also confirmed UT Monday August 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S5/S7 into Louisiana SDR starting with 14-second noise blast QRM.

** U S A. 9330, Aug 21 at 2141, no signal direct from WLCR on the
WBCQ-6 super-stition. Wonder what`s wrong now. Other US 31mb signals
evident from WINB, WMLK, WRMI, and blasting above all as usual, 9350
WWCR. Into NH at 2321, the 5130+, 6160- and 7490- Classic BCQs are all
