** OKLAHOMA. 27224.56 AM, Aug 6 at 2032, Enid CB pirate back on air,
S9+20 JBM but matchable to 105.5 K288FX translator of KYLV 88.9 K-Love
OKC. Also on 27184.88, slightly weaker S9+15 but merely undermodulated
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** PANAMA. 28282 CW, Aug 6 at 2205, VVV HP1DCP/B and long message
follows presumably gridsquare and website ending with .COM, JBA with
fadeouts. QRZ.com: ``HP1DCP Panama flag Panama, RENE IVAN FONSECA,
P.O.BOX 0819-09911, REP. OF PANAMA, Panama`` with photos. Not in WGB
roster on any frequency! 3568 km = 2217 statute miles. Only other
beacon on band:
28160- CW, Aug 6 at 2208, even weaker, VVV DE HP1RIS/B + another long

** RUSSIA. 21300.08 USB, Aug 6 at 2038, RW1A, Vlad, calling QRZ and
working UStations: after no activity on 28 or 24 MHz bands, and first
signal hit tuning down from 21450. Only one other SSB audible on this
band in tuneacross. Call fonetikaly so no doubt. QRZ.com: ``RW1A

St-Petersburg 190121, Russia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.417, Aug 6 at 1958, no noise but good Arabic
modulation, and way off-frequency. UTwente won`t synch on it from
11935.0 but will from 11935.5, S9+20/30. In case anyone doubt this
still be ``Republic of Yemen Radio``, ID at 2013 amid music mentioning
Yemen and Sana`a. Check direct at 2030, JBA carrier about 11935.4
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 6 at 0333, VOT English not off the air with
music, much better on this INTRUDER frequency aimed at N America than
JBA carrier on // 6165 for S Asia. However, an Indian on `Letterbox`
said 7275 was much better for him.
Re comments on VOT `Letterbox` --- ``The English Section of TRT don`t
appear to understand the difference between someone sending regular
monitoring reports to let them know how their transmissions are being
received in the target area! I have not asked for any QSL. In fact I
haven`t chased QSLs for well over 40 years. Craig Tyson, Perth``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 6 at 2158, no signal direct yet from VOT
English; 2159 a JBA carrier? *2200.4 cuts on late at S9 - of dead air,
vs noise level of S8. Never any mod until 2202* off again, and still
off at 2204, 2219, and also absent at 2233 check into UTwente.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

address pronoucing numbers both in Hindi and English: P O Box 895,
Fort Worth TX 76101, repeated, and gmail, S9+30/40 direct. I continue
to wonder how well this reach India considerably after sunrise, but
the nominal 20 degree azimuth from Metairie LA should be appropriate,
originally intended only for N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA. 4940, Aug 6 at 0340 music vs HSNL, and JBA music at
0653. Generically IDs as ``Estación 4940`` but now Manuel Méndez,
