** CHINA. 13920, 13530, 13020, 15920, Sept 1 at 1418-1422, CNR1
jammers // in Chinese talk. 13530 strongest. But not on 14920. All in
Aoki as Sound of Hope frequencies: how many more list-loggers will
think they had SOH itself, ignoring the * which means jammed, always
far more likely to be heard; log SOH only if you can rule out CNR1!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 11955, Sept 1 at 1427, S6/S9 open carrier with flutter,
something about to sign on? NO, cuts off at 1430* sharp. Aoki & EiBi
show it was CRI in Indonesian via Kunming at 1330-1430; preceded by an
hour of Malay; and Tagalog/Filipino from 1130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Sept 1 at 0638, R. Rebelde is back on after missing a
few nights, ID. Ron Howard says that at 1022, RR was weak enough that
Quillabamba, Perú, could be heard mixing. And David Crawford, FL,
replies to my previous report:
``Rebelde 5025 was first noted back on here at 2230 31 AUG Z check.
4765 was noted active simultaneously with 5025 at check at 0200 Z 1
SEP, so there are still two good 60 m txs and antennas at Bauta``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9600, Sept 1 at 0439, RHC Spanish ID in passing, S7 and not
on 9700; others have reported this anomaly a couple times before. Now
we wonder if it be intentional. Something` always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** DENMARK. 5970, Sept 1 at 0440, rock music at S5/S7 vs HSNL into NH
SDR: faded by 0517, but then still S9 into UTwente: certainly not WEWN
or China as only others sked now. Checking since Nino Marabello had
reported Aug 31 that it was WEWN, i.e. reactivating its nighttime
Spanish frequency; I mentioned on WOR 2206 before a chance to
deconfirm that, and now he has corrected his report: ``Here are the
following correct log: 5970 31/8 0445 Radio 208, DK-Hvidovre Px dan
25522. 73 da N. Marabello, QTH Treviso, Italy`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 17450, Sept 1 at 1423, JBA signal here, probably
Dengê Welat via Uzbekistan and/or Turkish jammer. Nothing now on
higher channels below 17500. Aoki includes DW on 17450 but at
1040-1155 only, with specific other times for 17455, 17460, 17470,
17475, 17480, 17485. Spans maybe as monitored once, but I don`t think
we can rely on such precise jumparound skeds. EiBi shows them all with
a span of 0300-2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185-, Sept 1 at 0625, dead air from XEPPM. Unfortunately
not unusual late at night, no one paying attention? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Sept 1 at 2341-2349+, S7/S9 of `Stayin`
Alive`, classic rock, OPOB. Many more logs here as unID, but several
heard ``Zeeky talking``:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.468 AM, Sept 1 at 1435, S9+10 steady dead air from
local CBer, rather than relaying an FM station. No skip at all now on
10 or 11m.
27184.48 approx. AM, Sept 1 at 2332, S9 open carrier still/again here.
Now there is some QRM and lots of skip on 11m CB, still nothing on 10m
ham (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, random times afternoon of Sept 1 on caradio,
cannot be sure KOCD Okeene even be on air, let alone any $ tereo
deadair. Briefly heard some commercial-sounding Spanish, presumably
the Liberal KS fringer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11745, Sept 1 at 1425, Arabic mentioning Arabiya
Saudiya, the `AFRTS` service, S9/+10, best overseas signal on band;
also correlating:
[and non] 11860, Sept 1 at 1426, roar from the defective Sa`udi
transmitter for Republic of Yemen Radio program, mixing with R. Martí
and adding to the Cuban jamming of same (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 1 at 2200, token English from SFR, VG
S9+20/25 into Maryland SDR; almost as good on 17715 & 15520, inferior
on squealy 11670. Top news item about price increases of olive oil in
past year, up 38%, but Extra Virgin OO up 227%, leading to a crime
wave. 2206 feature is Justin Coe visiting and interviewing in a
striking building about authors` & composers` compensation, abbr`d
ASGAY? Inside is an exhibition about Spanish rock bands. Not that I
care about this subject, but back to it at 2220 after trying to put up
with the distortion on VOT. I try to google correct spelling; asgay
gets sidetracked to gay stuff; asgaii comes up as a possibility but
then that`s sidetracked to Did You Mean ASCII! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sept 1 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, VG
S9+35/45 into UTwente but distorted overmodulation, especially
horrible during musical themes; 2212 multi-lingual ID filler reel.
2214 `Weekly Commentary` about Wagner following the crash in Russia.
Rehash of same story and speculation heard countless times before
elsewhere. 2219 music: I can`t stand it any more, back to Spain.
Obviously at TRT no one is listening to their own SW output and there
is no such thing as quality control. Something`s always awry at
Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Sept 1 circa 0300, still NO signal from WTWW. Last
time I axually heard it was April 1! Since then was expected to resume
as George McClintock was working on repairs and possible reactivation.
Had not heard from him in some time, so I asked for an update August
31. Very brief reply arrived too late to mention on WOR 2206:
``21 acres will be sold in about 2 or 3 months as commercial property.
The new owner will make a decision on the station's future. George
McClintock, 8-31-2023`` --- Once final we`ll be very interested to
learn who the new owner may be! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7300v, Sept 1, long monitoring via UTwente and later
direct, 0330, 0558, 0622, no signal from the American gospel huxter
heard a number of times but not on every night (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7305, Sept 1 at 0330-0400+, NO signal into UTwente
except some RTTY warbling nearby; unlike last night when unID
broadcaster was here. Probably DHA UAE site testing, registered as
Farsi at 0330-0430.
EiBi shows the only existing 0330-0430 possibilities on other
frequencies are: R. Liberty in Pashto via Thailand and Germany; R.
Tamazuj via Vatican & Madagascar for Sudan South; and VOA
Kirundi/Kinyarwanda via São Tomé and Botswana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
