** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Friday August 25 circa 18, 19 and 20 UT
chex, no signal today from LRA36 into Argentine remote (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. 28487 USB, Aug 25 at 2322, VK2BY, calling CQ and
contacting an N4. One of only two phonesigs on band, see CHILE.
QRZ.com: ``VK2BY Australia flag Australia, Bradley Devon, 8 Bruckner
Place, Claremont Meadows [NSW] 2747 Australia`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHILE. 28415 USB, Aug 25 at 2321, CE2TP contacting an N1 station.
No beacons audible on 10m, and only one other phone, see AUSTRALIA.
QRZ.com: ``CE2TP Chile flag Chile ALEJANDRO GUSTAVO TOLEDO SCHIAFFINO
( Jano ), Olmue, V Región, Chile`` with photos of equipment, him on
his green Ninja Kawasaki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 21490, Aug 25 at 2330, JBA wobbly carrier the OSOB; also
18970 & 18900- Chinese talk S2/S3; all no doubt CNR1 jammers vs Sound
of Hope. At least they serve as propagation markers on otherwise empty
bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Aug 25 at 0637, RHC Spanish S9+20 with squeal,
tonight`s extra-expanded frequency. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
The Other Side:

The Black Market, Cash and Freedom in Cuba

Those who want a free Cuba must embrace and sustain the black market,
just as those who want a subjugated country fear and seek to destroy
it by eliminating what makes it possible: cash.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Aug 25 at 2340, RHC S6/9+5 but suptorted, music sounds
// 11760 which is undermodulated distorted, with squeal, S8/S9.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Aug 25 at 2354, S9 open carrier, probably RHC sked
until 0000 rather than CRI `Portuguese` via Kashgar to start at 0000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, Aug 25 at 2135, R. Cairo is on, S9+25/45 into
UTwente, but undermodulated and extremely distorted; I can perceive
the talk as English, 2143 into wailing ME music, Qur`an? But the
Fribbath has just ended by local time past midnight, or rather way
past sunset. Would be nice if not so distorted. 2153, ``Ladies and
Gentlemen ... peace be upon you.`` Something`s always egregious in
Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185.0 AM, Aug 25 at 2325-2329, country song,
``Okeechobee Purple - cotton mouth`` part of lyrix. Local Enid CBer at
S9+25 with unreadable comments and intermittently maybe plugging into
FM station but I don`t have FM handy to check for // (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 104.7, Aug 25 at 0455 UT, dead air in $ tereo, strong
solid signal as if local. Only anomaly as I rushed out at 0450 to
check for sporadic E, as Randy Zerr in Nevada had just reported Enid
with an MUF of 90 MHz, on DXMAPS. Abruptly cuts on modulation at 0500
as KQSN Ponca City and into `Granger Smith After Midnight` a
nationally syndicated show. KQSN is normally the primary fringe signal
on 104.7 but area tropo is up. Something bit me on ankle on way to car
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 25 at 2200, token English from SFR, VG
S9+10/30 into Maryland SDR; first news item about The Kiss,
controversy about a soccer official kissing a player after a victory:
calls for him to resign but he refuses. 2207 Justin Coe is finally
heard again, back from holiday? Or repeat? Interview about an
``Authentic Flamenco`` world tour this year of 700 performances; //
17715 & 15520 somewhat weaker but sufficient; 11670 as always in 4th
place, S5/S8 vs splatter and noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 25 at 2200, VOT not off the air, VG S9+30/40
into UTwente; 2215 music not very distorted. 2222 `Weekly Analysis``:
negotiations between Turkey and Syria, assessment by a prof.
Normalization would be boldly unrealistic, with YPG and PKK involved.
At least this is read by OM with good English and dixion. 2249 `Did
You Know That`, by badax something about different kinds of milk. 2253
s/off and fragment of IS to 2255*, no finesse. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2205 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Friday August 25 at 2030 on WRMI webcast-only as supposedly sked;

Thanks this week for financial support from Robert W Gruska, Glendale
NY, who sent a postal MO to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702
[also for checks on a US bank], ``toward your work and presentation of
World of Radio and the DX-Loggings each week for over four decades.
Thanks for your continued efforts keeping the radio hobbyist community
informed of the latest developments whether it is Shortwave, Medium
Wave or FM``

UNIDENTIFIED. 11785, 11771, 11765, 11756, 11751 down to 11731, Aug 25
at 2347, very amorphous but strong noise blobs peaking very
approximately. Altho 11760 RHC is on with its own problems, I suspect
these are coming from Brasil 11780 which is also very strong and has
gone haywire in the past (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
