frequency. Again by chance at 2323 working Napa, California. QRZ.com:

** OKLAHOMA. 267 MCW kHz, Nov 27 at 0254 UT, HET is JBA for a change,
25 watt NDB from HenryETta, seldom heard. Axually listening on 265

level, worst on LW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Nov 27 at 2300, token English from SNR, news, 2309
contact info, 2310 interview with a prof from Denmark about importance
of oceans, including seabeds with cables, pipelines. Finally stopped

``We inform you that on December 4 and 5, Radio Exterior de España
will be forced to suspend its shortwave broadcasts. The reason: a cut
in the electricity supply, beyond our control, which will affect the
shortwave broadcasting center that Radio Exterior has in the town of
Noblejas. The stoppage is due to some work that the Unión Fenosa
company has to carry out in the electrical substation of that Toledo
municipality and that will affect our facilities. Consequently, the
shortwave broadcast will be suspended next Monday, December 4 and will
continue until Wednesday, December 6, at most, when the signal will
resume. We apologize for this incident, completely beyond the control
of Radio Exterior de España.
THANKS EVERYBODY, GREETINGS. Director of Foreign Radio of Spain``

** SWITZERLAND [non]. 17790, Nov 26 at 2100-2200, another C.M. Obrecht
music special, as publicized, wider variety of music than he is known
for, electronic compositions. With many announcements in German and
heavily accented English. Sufficient signal into Brasília SDR, except
it times out every 15 minutes, and fake stereo mode SAS enhances. This
is via WRMI-7 which is otherwise only for the Radio Africa Network at
15-21, just extended an hour; still on 160-degree beam toward S
America, hoping some of it will reach Africa anyway, lacking a
long-destroyed proper antenna thataway. At 2200 nevertheless starts to
play a R. Africa s/off before chopped (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960.005, Nov 26 at 2317, VOT English not off the air,
S9+35 into UTwente; too much else ongoing to pay rapt attention, but a
few notes: 2317 ``always-by-your-side`` promo; 2325 `Weekly Analysis`
outro; 2329 multi-lingual ID filler reel. Back to the non-squealing +5
Hz transmitter, rather than the +17 Hz squealer yesterday.

You Know That` there is a masterpiece of a mosque near Istanbul with a
great view; 2344 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music; 2350
multi-lingual ID filler reel crutch, again; 2352, s/off with partial
English schedule omitting this one, but at least correct times and
frequencies as far as they went! 2353 IS; 2356* off uncovering the
CCCCCCI from East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide
against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490V, Nov 27 at 0004, `Le Show` on WBCQ, only S7/S8 into
Maryland SDR, unstable varying widely between +531 and +678 Hz; need
to get webcast instead; but unusually seems // 5130.363 and not
varying much, instead of ATATT. 6160- not measured but something else;
and 3265+ as usual silent. Harry Shearer tripping over his tongue more
than usual as I am concerned about his health; must require multiple
takes for his The Simpsons characters. Nov 27 at 2320, 7490 again
AWOL; JBA 5130.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 3090, Nov 27 circa 0700 and earlier, not a trace of the KBUF
KS third harmonic I heard 24 hours before. Apparently totally
repaired, but worth further chex just in case along with 2060, 4120,
5150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search of entire band, Nov
27 at 0258, finds only 621, likely 100/75 kW RNE Canary Is; and maybe
on 819 where I normally hear nothing; most likely by far is 300 kW
from Batrah, Egypt, 24h per mwlist (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7780-7830 approx., Nov 27 at 0750, strong multitonal
