I`ve logged him before in August and October, 2022. Keying not very
crisp and weak fading signal require multiple passes to copy ID
accurately. As often on 10m, not much else. The two regular Mexican
beacons in by Es. And see COSTA RICA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Sept 25 at 0707, HK3QQ is back, slowly sending
letters in keyboard order, presumably with same errors as before:
QWERTYUIOX ASDFGHJKLÑ ZXCVBN but not fully copied this time. I`ve
checked for this almost every night since first missing August 12.
Soon got word that his license had expired in Nov 2021; now renewed?
USB on same 10125 I often hear weak VK- Australian ragchewers, hard to
ID, not this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COSTA RICA. 28456 USB, Sept 24 at 2213, TI70RC, Carlos making quick
contacts. Good signal. As often on 10m, not much else. unID phone in

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 25 at 2133, ``Radio Cairo presents ---`` both
talk and music extremely distorted, S9+30/40 into UTwente.

WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Monday Sept 25 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR, previews: UK`s border controls; and the
languages of Spain and their origins. 2205 border issues interview
Miguel ---, Spanish Chamber of Commerce, starts already, effects upon
EU, Spain exports to UK. 2217: Sept 26 is European Day of Languages,
so about Lorca and Cervantes. Catalan, Basque, Galician, Valencian are
``co-official`` along with Castilian. Into evolution of langs in
Iberia. All considered Romance langs except Basque. Catalan even
reached Italy, but suppressed in 18th century. 1932 established as
official in Catalonia, but persecuted during Franco years, forbidden
but used privately. Post-Franco in 1975 recognized as official.
Valencian is dialect of Catalan. Catalan also spoken in Andorra, small
community in Sardinia. Euskera = Basque is non-Indo-European, no
similar languages, thought to be original, traced back to paleolithic
era. Franco also persecuted it. 900,000 people speak it, also some in
southern France. Galician, became distinct in 9th century. Was spoken
but not written. Renaissance in 19th century. Franco pushed it aside.
More than 2 million speak it now in Galicia and vicinity. Besides
these 4, lesser known languages named, including a ``whistle``
language in Canarias. Ends with song in Galician. [¡NEVER mentioned:
Ladino = Judeo-Español!]. This segment voiced by Marilýn Quintana

** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 24 at 2159, no signal yet from VOT; but on by

** U S A. 5085, WTWW update: notes of phone call from George
McClintock, Sept 25: Now plans to return to air next Monday = UT
Tuesday Oct 3 at 0000 UT, first hour with old recordings of Pastor
Pete Peters, as carefully chosen by someone in New Jersey; and
0100-0500 with a new non-religious programmer which had been on KVOH
and may still be on WRMI: he can`t remember its identity. This will be
daily. Sometime later will move up start-time to 23 UT with PPP, and
the other, originating in NC, an additional hour, 00-05 UT. Rather
than 90 or 100 kW, will run 50 which is considered sufficient.
Eventually, `Bob` wants to run 12 hpd. 9475 would be activated even
later. Adam Lock, ex-WWCR during the George era, has been invited to
record IDs and QSY announcements, but hasn`t had time to do that. So
the prospect of scrapping the equipment is postponed. Some of it may
go to the VOH Zambia operation. Still pending, a new owner may need
garage room, so #3 transmitter would have to be removed. By now all
the modules have been fixed, so ready to go. But the driver needs some
work. Property may be combined with a neighbor for greater eventual
sale value over $ 1 million (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1130 kHz, Sept 25 at 0615 UT steady S9+20 of classic rock
dominates: suspect KLEY Wellington KS reactivated with usual 250 X its
legal night power of 1 watt. Had been absent since Sept 19. Yes, same
steady S9+20 rock on daytime groundwave at 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
