** ALGERIA. 17600, Sept 7 at 1520, Ifrikya FM with guitar music, S5/S7
better than usual. I can also usually detect a JBA carrier around 0630
even if not much else propagating above 15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. Re 332 kHz MCW ND beacons. The RNA list omits QT,
Thunder Bay, so apparently gone forever. Also shows only 25 watts for
IC Wichita, logged as recently at 08-26; not 400 W as in dxinfocentre.
``Glenn, QT-332 was decommissioned on July 11, 2024 as part of Phase
12 of NAV Canada’s Modernization Program. Steve Howe, Saint Albans,
VT`` -- that was my most reliable Canadian beacon after WG Winnipeg
closed 248 kHz earlier. After that, YXL Sioux Lookout ON was regular
on 346, but no sign of that yet either. It is still being reported on
RNA list as of 2024-09-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 7 at 0559, S9+35/40 open carrier, obviously RHC
not turned off yet. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, UT Sat Sept 7 at 0145, pirate song at S9. I
bet it`s Ballsmacker Radio on very regular Friday-night sked. Yes: by
0147, I hear bowling strike sound (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.94 AM, Sept 7 at 0552, JBA carrier. Other logs
as unID relay of WWV:

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Re 341 kHz, MCW ND beacon EI, EnId: RNA list
shows 0 watts and last logged 2024-04-27 - but I was hearing it until
a few days ago! Almost zero watts I could believe. In good old days
others on 341 I got, even when EI was on, mixing: DNI Denison TX, 25
W, last logged 2024-03-10; and OIN, Oberlin KS, 25 W, last logged
2023-06-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, Sept 7 at 0616, local KGWA Enid again in dead air

** SAUDI ARABIA [non]. 11935.792, Sept 7 at 1526, rapid chirping at
S4/S5 direct, no Yemen programming audible under. Also at 1541 into
UTwente when measured, S9+10/15. Had trouble synch-locking onto this
exact frequency. Wolfgang Bueschel thinx it`s Iranian jamming from
Sirjan site:
``SAUDI ARABIA / IRAN Radio war on 11935 kHz shortwave channel,
between Yemen excile radio via Riadh bc shortwave center, and IRAN’s
BUBBLE jammer irregularly on same channel via Sirjan bc center site.

** U S A. (12160), Sat Sept 7, `The Talking Machine Show` is the only
WWCR program we always listen to, Sats 1700-1730, via WWCR-2 webcast.
It`s really mostly music, not talk! At 1720, Phil says the piece
playing was recorded 102 years ago in 1912. Therefore, this program
itself is a dekayear old. If any show can be ``evergreen``, this is
it. But we wonder if any ``new`` ones are being produced (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
