** CUBA. 4765, July 12 at 0654, R. Progreso is still on, S9+5/10: as
if in response to my observation why not run 24h like Rebelde - which
happens also to be on 5025 now and even modulating. Manuel Méndez,
Spain also reported it direct, ``CUBA, 4765, Radio Progreso, Bejucal,
0447-0515, 12-07, extra time today, Spanish, usual closing time at
about 0400, comments, ID at 0502 “Radio Progreso, Cadena Nacional, la
Onda de la Alegría, transmitiendo desde La Habana…”, more comments and
Cuban songs. 15422`` - And Zacharias Liangas, Greece: ``Just now 0636
via the TWR Bonaire, signal -85 with fading width of 25 db and
variation program, someone talking and music behind`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** FRANCE [non]. 9955, Fri July 12 at 0630, WRMI relay of RFI in
Spanish, timecheck as 1 AM in Paris, so original airing was 23 UT.
Obscures 9960 much weaker VANUATU. WRMI skedgrid of System B still
claims RFI is at 05-06, and on internet only except Sat & Sun. Wrong,
wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.576 & 27224.900 approx., July 12 at 2158 UT, Enid
CB pirate // relaying 105.5 translator of KYLV during gospel music,
and talk at 2216 when measured; both S9+20, but lower one just barely
modulated (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, July 12 at 2018 UT, KOSU with `Oklahoma Music
Minute`, periodic filler during NPR breaks, in this case amid ATC; on
behalf of its alter-ego The Spy: I make a point of checking, and no,
they do not turn $ tereo back on for that, staying in daytime mono,
resulting in ``flat`` music (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Fri July 12 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+20/30
direct and also audible on 17715, 15520 but JB on 15390. Preview to be
something about an exhibition of uniforms; 2202.3 news starting with
political fight about how to handle transferring migrant miners from
Canarias to Peninsula - no, minors, about underage migrants; and about
the rights of and compensation for victims of the Franco dictatorship
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785+, Fri July 12 at 2200, VOT English has just come on
at S9+20, s/on as if on satellite and streaming only, ignoring SW:
something`s always awry at Ankara. At 2215 music already. 2232 switch
to UTwente at S9+50 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2243 `That`s
Why` for the first time voiced by the OM with 100% comprehension
rather than Ms. Badax, about billions/trillions of nonhuman cells
within our bodies: only 43% of us is really us, music. 2252
TRTVOTWorld.com promo, s/off again ignoring SW. 2253 IS, 2256 restart
IS with German IDs, 2300 s/on German, olds till chopoff at 2303*.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2251 monitoring: missed checking
Fri July 12 at 2030 on IRRS via 1323 kHz, and WRMI webcast only;

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs July 12 at 2340 into Quebec SDR:
3265 & 5130 off. 6160 -69 Hz = 6159.931, TOMBS at S9/+10. 7490 -69 Hz
= 7489.931, FKB at S9+5/15. By 2348, however 5130 -72 Hz = 5129.928 is
also on with FKB, S9/+10 but noisy. At 2350, 3265.149 has also come on
with FKB, noisy S7/S9. I stay with 5130-. 2359 one-minute-warning tone
and wrapup, amen. Then AW about clix, ``hit-it`` and 0000 July 13, WTO
theme. Starts talking about toilet and politix before theme ends. 0003
brings up sweetheart on phone. Trimulcasting on 7490, 5130, coughs,
3265. Drinx just a little bit of Chocolate Bailey with reduced alcohol
content at the end of a day twice a week. 0016 datestamp as 12 of
July, YOOLF 2024. General monologue about protecting our Earth. If
humanity can make flush toilets, why not solve greater problems?
Angela barely gets in a word edgewise and is liable to be talked over
when she does - not in disagreement, of course. She objects to Black
cable channels - isn`t that being racist? At 0040, 5130 suddenly dumps
off the air, so I change to 3265. At 0042, he reads the basic aims of
Project 2025 -- they sound very radical and it`s hard to believe even
he would approve of them. Then they agree that P2025 is ``backlash``,
i.e. blaming the Left - ``communist Democrats``, ``nitwits are running
the country``, the Constitution being violated - implying that the
MAGAs would not. But listening to the entire hour, I do not hear them
mention *rump by name, once! At 0054 he starts to repeat
``trimulcasting``, but realizes that 5130 has gone off, that happens,
so he resets it. 0056 a bit of email. 0058 Free Radio Weekly received
but no time to quote much of it beyond my log of Ball Smacker Radio,
not credited of course. 0059 prayer, 0100 ID by Angela, and over to
Hal Turner a few sex late just as he is talking about his SW coverage.
Both 3265 and 5130 are off by 0237 recheck, probably much earlier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15150, Fri July 12 at 0632, NO signal from WMLK. Varies
widely by propagation/MUF but with 300 kW, there ought to be at least
a JBA carrier if on. IIRC, also absent last night, so off the air?
Note, normally silent on UT Sabbathdays only like July 13.
Other broadcast is 17-22 UT on 9275: by 1705 July 12, no signal into
Maine SDR, while neighbor 9265 WINB is good with national anthem -- is
it the only US SW station to play The SSB at s/on/off? For shame.
Still no 9275 by 1800 into other remotes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [non]. 9670, July 13 at 0225, ``Yellow Rose of Texas``
Dixieland version, then vocal C&W. It`s the Texas Radio SW test via
Channel 292. Good S7/S9+5 into NH SDR I had up for WBCQ earlier. Not
many tunes one can enjoy listening to, over and over for an hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
