** MEXICO. 6185-, Sept 2 at 0635, XEPPM in dead air, or maybe trace of
modulation unless it`s crossmod. Harold Sellers, BC had it modulating
as recently at 0538 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6970 USB, Sept 2 at 0228, S9+10/20 with song. These
say it`s WDOG:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Sept 2 at 0229, S9+10/20 music with CW IDs
overlaying every couple minutes, tough to copy but partly DOG RADIO.
It`s OLD DOG RADIO:

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.86 AM, Sept 2 at 2205, Enid pirate is back relaying
105.5 K288FX, translator of ``K-Love`` KYLV 88.9 OKC, gospel music
undermodulated S9/+20, and // 27224.53 AM, JBM at S9+10. Not heard
since Aug 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.405-, Sept 2 at 1609, Qur`an in Yemen service,
S9+25 into UTwente, but with heavy ACI from 11940 CRI English at
S9+35/45, inescapable even by LSB tuning. But no chirping or other
internal noise now. So resumed offfrequenciness after switch to
11934.999 a biday ago. Wolfgang Bueschel points out that Riyadh has 9
transmitters; so these may be two different ones (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Monday September 2 at 2200, token English from SNR,
VG S9+20/50 direct, also on 17715 & 15520 but 15390 is still AWOL.
Preview topic, a novel based on facts, ``Colonia Dignidad`` in
southern Chile supposed to be wonderful but really a cult like a Nazi
concentration camp headed by one Paul Schafer. That`s all I care to
hear about that. News leads with Far Right advances in German
elexions, today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sunday September 1 at 2207, VOT English not off
the air, S9+60 into UTwente, as Efsun the accentuated is reading the
olds. 2208 `Weekly Analysis` something about Iran and Hezbollah as I
am distracted. 2215 `Letterbox` this time no song before Halil starts.
He`s OK, glad it`s close to September autumn, very lovely. Again it`s
painfully obvious he has not even glanced at the letters before
recording. #1 is from Japan, but can`t read the handwriting for name
but it`s from someone he recognizes from before, in Hiroshima where
it`s rainy, hot and humid. Refers to a July 7 festival of attaching
strips with wishes on bamboo branches, wants another QSL. (I`m
numbering them:) #2 at 2221 from Peter Ng, Johore Bahru, Malaysia
again, report of May 19. Mail is taking a long time. #3 from Spain,
can`t read name, handwriting. #4 Netherlands, Al Vogels?, Dutch SWL
Lima Victor. #5 from Norway, handwritten from Mr Petersa? Host can`t
understand what he is writing about, questioning whether TRT has paid
for rights to broadcast the music? Halil is sure they have. At 2228,
#6 from India 10 July, tnx for QSL, Ahan Banin? wants promo material
to distribute to 317-member club. Even if he gives the name I can only
guess on the spelling, except this one: #7 from Peter Ng again,
reception report of a French broadcast but since he wrote in English
it did not go to French dept. #8 at 2231, ``My Man/Mate``, Alan
Holder, Isle of Wight. Once had a cat. Several topix, can`t read my
scribbles. Germans visit Turkey in Oct, off-season with less crowding,
lower prices. Halil is renting in a building which has only two apts
on each floor, not four. At 2245, #9 from Kerala, wants QSL. 2248, #10
from Massimo Marmonte?, Italy, IZ2493SWL, wants QSL. 2249 time`s up,
goodbye like last week, Amen and song fill until 2252 outro. 2253
headlines by Efsun. 2255 s/off the 1230 broadcast, first notes of IS a
sesquitime before chop at 2255.7*, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sept 2 at 2158, VOT not off the air, S9+10/20
direct with IS & ID, seems somewhat undermod and fadery. 2221 into
UTwente when measured, S9+50/55 in `The Energy Agenda` about a
deep-sea drilling ship in the Black Sea discovering lots of natural
gas reserves. 2225 music. 2230 multi-lingual 2-minute ID filler reel.
2232 music. 2236 `That`s Why`, Efsun about the Caspian Sea. 2242
music. 2252 one headline about Israel/Hamas, s/off as if it`s the 1230
on 17620. 2253.7 IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs. 2300 TS and s/on
German, Alten; 2312 still going. And 2323 the 2-minute multi-lingual
ID filler reel including English. 2330 same theme as `That`s Why` and
about Das Kaspische Meer. Usual alternating with songs like in
Englisch until suddenly chopped off finally at 2347* when the op woke
up. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW check, 0028 UT Sept 3: 9475 playing song ``Delilah`` so
then PPP can rant about it religiously; 9930 is also on presumably
TOMBS, VG signals direct. At 0121, 9930 had changed to 5920 at S9/+20
into NH SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9955 & 5010, Sept 2 at 0630, these WRMIs are off, prolonging
usual Monday-only anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Finally a reconfirmation of the off-frequency het I have
been hearing, as first definitely IDed many years ago, still, from Tim
Hall`s review of his recorded DX-pedition logs last year from the
NV/UT Border Inn: ``1240.200 KCRT CO, Trinidad. 10/27 1133 – After
about a decade of chasing this off-frequency carrier on hundreds of
Perseus recordings, I finally caught a nice ID "My 99-3, KCRT." 534
miles, 10 miles short of the current GYDXA record. New, CO #81, GY
#254`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 2 at 0630, RV is still on here with VP signal.
Harold Sellers, BC reports: ``7260, at 0609, Sep. 2, Pacific islands
music. Poor. Had not been audible before 0600. Good by 0645. In
Bislama. 0656 male announcer, IDs, ads and off abruptly before 0659.
Checking 3945 there was a very weak signal there`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
