** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, Apr 26 at 0630, another check direct of
Ifrikya FM for English segment, as reported Apr 23 & 24 but not 25.
S5/S3 in French for starters, then sounds like some Portuguese? Or am
I dreaming as dozing off. Awake at 0650, now it *is* in English with
IDs, closing at 0656 giving FM frequencies in Alger, Oran; 0700 5+1
timesignal a few sex late and French news. SSOB and would be the OSOB
if not for a JBA carrier on 17850, i.e. RFI Issoudun. Simulmonitored
by:
``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: ALGERIA, 17600 // 15160, Ifrikya FM,
English today from about 0648 to 0657, identification, "Ifrikya FM,
The Voice of Africa", comments by female, at 0657 song "Despacito" by
Luis Fonsi, French ID, comments, at 0700 French "Le Journal de
l`Information", news in French`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Apr 25 at 1903, VP signal direct, can`t be sure RHC is
in English; via Georgia SDR at 1914, yes, it`s English and with
flanking spurs about plus/minus 3.6 kHz, clearly on the H2Ofall. 11760
is not on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
date correct, missed in previous report
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.74 approx., Apr 27 at 0100, Enid CB pirate is back
relaying and //105.5 K288FX, translator of ``K-Love``, KYLV 88.9 OKC;
seems in a pledge drive rather than music. AM mode but distorted. NO
skip at all on 26, 27 or 28 MHz bands (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Apr 26 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG
direct into portables with clipons. Leading news item about whether
Sánchez will stay in power. 2209 feature is about some medication
that is hazardous especially to Brits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Apr 26 at 2207, VOT not off the air, sufficient
S9+10/20 direct in English, 2211 ending news, bit of music, `Review of
the Turkish Press`; 2213 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2215 music.
2231 I have switched to UTwente where measured, S9+45/55! 2233
`Turkish Folk Tales` about animals; 2239 music; 2243 promo TRT English
website, music; 2252 TRT World promo. 2254 s/off by badax for the 1230
only and 6 notes of IS before chopped off, no finesse. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UKRAINE [non]. 17690, Apr 26 until 1956, the stirring Ukrainian
national anthem, immediately followed by Martí-Noticias ID; only S1/S5
direct from Grimesland, USA in very degraded propagation: K-index at
18 was five and a third; G1, R1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 26 at 2044 the 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.996 kHz, S9+8
and no CCI but some ACI from strong Spanish from Spain on 1314.
Confirmed Friday April 26 at 2207 the 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20
direct vs lite jamming and yet poor copy, the first SWBC.

** U S A. Pre- `AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Apr 26 at 2337 into NH SDR:
3265 OFF. 5130.201 S7/S9 `ATATT`. 6159.930 S9/+15 TOMBS. 7489.935
S9+15/20 FKB. 9330.000 S9+15/20 too despite WLCR 10?X the power of
Classic WBCQ.
After 0000 UT Apr 27, `AAAWWW` sounds very familiar, yes, replay of
last week. Never mind. But this time only on 7490! 3265 is still off,
5130 still ``Radio *rump International on Radio Angela`` at 0015
instead of diverting to AAAWWW, 6160 some gospel huxter presumably
TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
