** ALGERIA. 9470, Aug 31 at 0352, S7/S9 of JBM yelling, no doubt
Ifrikya FM as scheduled 0300-0600 via Béchar. Something`s awful in
Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 4765, Aug 31 at 0334, R. Progreso is S9+15/25, but very
undermodulated music and mumbling. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba.
5025, Aug 31 at 0339, R. Rebelde is still off, as it had been before?
Idalia. Ron Howard says also silent from first check 0608 to last
check 0820. David Crawford, FL, replies:
``5025 Rebelde remains off as of 0230 31 AUG Z. The last time this
happened, when 5025 was taken down by TC Ian in Sept 2022, the 4765 tx
and/or antenna at Bauta were hijacked away from Progreso for a few
months and repurposed for Rebelde. I'm curious to see if it happens
again. Ian was a lot stronger than Idalia, so presumably less damage
resulted this time. In the meantime, 4765 is operating normally, at
least in the relative Cuban radio sense`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Aug 31 at 0339, RHC ``English`` with trace of
modulation, S9+20/30. Also JBM are ``Spanish`` on 9535, 15230.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 31 at 0341, Turkish music S9+20/25 direct very
distorted. So this VOT English to NAm hour is no better than the 22
one I more conveniently monitor. BUT:
9770, Aug 31 at 0354, TRT Turkish service playing the ``old version``
interval signal, ~26 distinct notes on xylo?phone; great to hear it
again and I recommend these few minutes, with Burasi - IDs in Turkish;
0355.5 choral/martial NA which they never play on external languages;
0356.5 s/on, having to pronounce www as if in English! and into more
nice Turkish music. S9+25/35, VG signal and modulation and I bet it`s
aimed thisaway: yes, HFCC shows 500 kW, 310 degrees at 0400-0600 to
Eu, same beam as for ENAm. While the 7275 at 0300 is at 325 degrees,
for CIRAF Mexico, Caribbean, all of conterminous USA, except three
Pacific coast states (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2206)

** VENEZOMBIA [non]. 4940, Aug 31 at 0335, no signal from 4940
Station; but JBA carrier on 4930 as VOA BOTSWANA no doubt succeeds.
Ron Howard says 4940 was also off at 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6981 approx., Aug 31 at 0329, multi-beepery a few kHz
above and below but can`t pinpoint a single source; and at 0330 sharp
blasted by noise for about 14 seconds plus 1, just like infests 7780
vomiting upon yours truly and anyone else every semi-hour on that WRMI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.00, Aug 31 at 0640, gospel huxter in Amerenglish,
S4 vs storm noise peaks S7. Still on at 0716. Have not heard it much
earlier; previously considerably off-frequency-plus but now close to
accurate; nothing listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2206)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7305, Aug 31 at 0343 music I assumed would be easily
looked up, but nothing this hour in EiBi, Aoki, WRTH 24 Aug Update;
