** ALGERIA. 17600, June 4 at 1840, checking Ifrikya FM for a floating
English segment but just music. Inadequate signal from Béchar into
UTwente, and Maryland SDR, so I pick the only Kiwi close to the
boresight, TWR Kenya: shows 17599.902, but I think it`s miscalibrated,
since UTwente puts it on 17599.997 at the least; TWR also gets a
squeal inaudible elsewhere so suspect receiver or Nairobi-area
problem, not transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 28228 CW, June 4 at 2203, only 10m beacon is
JBA, usually fading when it comes to ID after EEEEEEE DE ---, but
finally conclude it`s ZL3TEN, as recently also logged, as per WGB
list:
``28228 ZL3TEN - Rolleston, Christchurch NZL RE66ej - #0 (09 Jan 2024)
Note: ID + grid + eee``
-- and not to be confused partially with another TEN right next to
him:
``28228.3 TG9TEN/B - Guatemala City GTM EK44mv - #0 (16 Mar 2024)
Note: ID + grid - HTX 100 1w into A99 vertical`` Only other sig on 10m
was someone calling CQ in English on 28460 USB, but not back in ~4
minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Correxion: I recently referred to 1170 Tulsa as KFAQ, in
connexion with IBOQRM to 1160 KSL. Shows you how much I listen to/care
about that station, format now silly Fox sports. FCC info on call sign
history with Begin Date: KTSB 09/06/2021, KFAQ 05/10/2002, originally
KVOO from 1926. I think Voice of Oklahoma was much neater, stupid of
them to ditch it. KVOO still not assigned to any AM station (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 13650, June 4 at 2053, English about film awards, S9/+20,
soon RRI sounder and s/off this 2030 to WEu/ENAm, next broadcast at
2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, June 4 at 1650, no horrible noise blob, but
Arabic, VP S6/S7 into UTwente, presumed Rep. of Yemen Radio service
via Riyadh, but with heavy ACI from 11940 CRI English this hour only
by Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, std. denunciation, S9+15/20. LSB tuning
helps but still bothering. ACI gone by 1700 but now I hear some CCI
noise under 11935, not the roaring sound when strong and alone. By
1728 Qur`an in clear, S9+15/20; 1820 still clear, S9+10/20 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Monday June 3 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
direct, and good enough on 15520 while 15390 & 17715 are JBA but
confirmable. Again today, only Marilyn Quintana, guess Amy Egan
vacationing? Nothing like Turkey but MQ does have an accent unlike
Amy. Top news is PM Sánchez facing no-confidence vote. Interview
checked at 2210, something about getting medical/health advice via
audiovisual means. The podcast is titled: ``Innovative
entrepreneurship: AI at the service of society`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 3 at 2200, JBA carrier direct, but a few
minutes later nothing at all from VOT English. Nor on accidental
alternates 11795, 9875. Ditto by 2220 check of UTwente. Something`s
erroneous at Emirler. Nothing else listed on 11785 around this hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 4 at 2157, VOT IS & IDs in English, not off
the air today, S9+10/20 direct but vs S8/S9 high local line noise.
2200 accurate timesignal; s/on mentions `Review of the Turkish Press`
after news [sic] but no specific segments after that besides music.
2233 I`ve switched to UTwente, S9+40/50 as Ms Badax is reading `Weekly
Commentary` as shortly outroed at 2236, music. 2240 `Turkey`s
Geomarked [sic] Products` about some cream from processing milk, no
further into cheese, it seems. 2242 music. 2247 `ABYS`. 2248 music.
2253 s/off with no mention of SW. 2253.5 IS. 2256 restart IS with
German IDs to 2257*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2245 monitoring: confirmed Monday
June 3 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, into UTwente: 3975.003 S9+7
and 6160.001, S9/+10.

it? Sked shows Wavescan but WOR has been showing usually.
Confirmed Tuesday June 4 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, VP S8/S9 direct. Next:
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;

UNIDENTIFIED. 28262 CW, June 3 at 2207, JBA beacon with long dash and
VVV but can`t copy the call thru several repetitions. Another one on
28282. Only other 10m sig is Brazuguese on 28410 USB. Long time since
10m has been replete with beacons, despite Es MUFs allegedly way above
it. Per WGB beacon list, 28262 likely VK2RSY Sydney NSW which I had
logged recently including a 30-second carrier = dash (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 2313 UT June 4
