** CUBA. 5025, Aug 20 at 0656, S9+35/45 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde, yet again; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Aug 20 at 2214, really nice ME/Arabic song at
S9+20/30, seems secular, as a WCB tactic like on KNLS to lull victims
into a false sense of rationalism, but then R. Feda ID in Arabic, and
presumably Christian evangelism. VG signal as usual from one of
furthest SW sites on Earth, closest to antipodal from here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY 11785.009+, Aug 20 at 2157, VOT not off the air, IS & ID,
S9+10/20 direct and fairly sufficient for direct listening, noise
level a little lowered; 2200 timesig and s/on pretending it`s 1230 on
17620; preview of topix: Review of Turkish Press, That`s Why, Weekly
Commentary, Turkey`s Geomarked Products. They are not always so
specific at s/on. 2201 news begins with another Israeli raid on Gaza.
At 2228 into UTwente when measured, S9+50, multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2230 `Weekly Commentary` read by Efsun the accentuated. I simply
cannot understand the name of the writer nor his background apparently
in some detail, nor am I going to strain to comprehend the content but
seems to be about -- guess what? Israel & Gaza. 2242 music. 2247
`Turkey`s Geomarket Products` about Hanak? string cheese - could not
catch the animilk source. 2250 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music.
2254 s/off ignoring SW = something`s always awry at Ankara, IS once to
2254.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Just heard from George McClintock, 1720 UT Tuesday August
20: one of the WTWW transmitters failed, and awaiting part to be
shipped in from Germany. In the meantime, only on the air is 9930 with
Brother Stair. But not yet on air today. Evidently all 9475/5085
programming is suspended including World of Radio until it`s fixed.
Indeed at 2211 check, 9930 is on with TOMBS // 9980 WWCR but not
synchronized, and 9475 is off. How about 5920 after 0100? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

S9/+5, so missed only yesterday. Also heard again by Ron Howard,
Rodney Johnson, Zacharias Liangas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
