** COLOMBIA. 10125, Aug 23 at 0641, I continue to check for HK3QQ
Bogotá, in case he resume despite expired license, and now I do JB
hear letter A in CW, as if starting another keyboard sequence -- but
no SDFGHJKLÑ follows; something else? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9535, Aug 23 at 0638, RHC`s overtime channel tonight, none
others found on any band. S7/S9 but just a trace of modulation, can`t
discern language. EiBi shows 05-07 on 9535 from Bejucal is irregular,
and nothing else on 9535 at this time. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9439.995, Aug 23 at 2145, R. Cairo, S9+20/35 into UTwente,
undermodulated, distorted with hum, ME music, 1/3 into nominal
sesquihour in English. 2148 announcer talking, unreadable. Something`s
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185-, Aug 23 at 0658 tune-in to deadair from XEPPM, but
it`s just a pause, as then multiple IDentities starting with
``Cultura, Mil Sesenta AM...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 23 circa 2045 UT, still dead air from KOCD
Okeene, as has been since at least Aug 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 24, Aug 23 at 1510, 1615, 1710, KOKH ``Fox 25`` OKC is
off the air again. And so is its sibling Sinclair station, RF 33,
KOCB, ``CW 34``. The two have exactly the same coördinates in the NE
OKC antenna farm: must be due to tower work or some issue there.
Rabbitears.info shows both horizontally:
NAD83: N 35° 32' 58.2", W 97° 29' 19.1" (35.5495, -97.488639)
But different vertically, not HAAT, not significant? Feet:
KOKH: 1585 agl 2717 amsl
KOCB: 1526 agl 2657 amsl
IIRC, 1572 feet was the astonishing ``world`s tallest`` height of
KWTV-9 in the 50s. We are still seeing both Sinclairs on cable in
Enid, as Optimum gets OKCs via fibre-optic or something, not off-air
pickup anyway. I see nothing on either station`s website about being
off the RF air, who cares? As they also live stream:

``The stations' studios and transmitter facilities are co-located on
East Wilshire Boulevard and 78th Street on the city's northeast side.
Wikipedia``. Next check at 1830 UT, both back on at normal VG level
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN [and non]. 17855, Wed Aug 23 at 2200, token English from SNR,
VG into NH SDR; also 17715 and 15520 just as good, but 11670 with
squeal and splash from 11660 music which must be CRI French via East
Turkistan, std. denunciation. Previews feature about women`s football.
I say: Yes, women should be equally able to waste their lives playing
stupid ballgames! News starts with fires in Tenerife, Greece. 2210
about a photographic exhibition featuring neglected black people; then
on to history of WFB in Spain, facing discrimination in earlier years
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 23 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, VG
into UTwente, S9+40 but somewhat distorted. 2213 `Review of the
Turkish Press` about TRNC. 2215, two-minute multilingual ID filler
reel. Just for a change, they should identify in English each language
one by one for our edification. Many we can recognize, but telling
various Turkic or Slavic languages apart is challenging. 2217 music
break. 2221 `Weekly Commentry` repeat of the one yesterday already,
and still almost incomprehensible tnx to the badax. This and TRNC on
`ROTP` make me wonder if the whole hour be a rerun. Off the air
shortly after 2300 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
