** CANADA. 28174 CW, Sept 16 at 2203, VVV DE VE1VDM/B and 8 dits/E`s.
Beacon already logged Sept 7: see that for details (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Sept 16 at 0423, S9/+10 of suptorted music, audible at
peaks, presumably RHC Spanish as not // 6000 RHC English. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 15445, Sept 16 at 0425, Chinese-sounding songs,
S9+20 with heavy trans-polar flutter, 0430 ID in Russian as P. Китая =
R. Kitaya. Aoki shows 0400-0600 via Kashi-Saiba, E.T., land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. One of
best signals on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ISRAEL [non]. 9955, Sept 16 at 0412, WRMI not off the air after
0400 as usually happens UT Mondays, rather English with news about
Israel, Hamas. Must be the WRN relay whose North American service does
contain Israel Radio at 0400-0500 daily. Does I.R. know or even care
that is back on SW? WRMI System B program grid claims internet-only
during that hour. Also Sept 16 at 0647 check, Spanish no doubt RFI
relay hour, which WRMI grid still claims is an hour earlier at 05-06,
internet only except weekends. Need to check what really air at 05-06:
from WRN it would be Prague & Slovakia; and at 06-07 not RFI from WRN
but DW and NHK. 5010 was off this UT Monday as usual instead of TOMBS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Sept 16 at 0416 music and talk, probably
Dengê Gel and/or Erdowan jammer. No other signals in the 11.5s. EiBi
shows site ARMENIA for D.G.; Aoki only on 11535 as Uzbekistan. While
not always on 11540, Gianni Serra also reported this the night
before:
``11540-CLANDESTINE Radyoya Dengê Gel (People's Voice Radio), in
listed Kurdish 09.15.2024 0558-0615 (11539.996-.995 kHz per UTwente,
very good), playing two local chants, at 0600 brief tune, woman very
long speech (ment Îraqê, Iran, rejîma Îranê); good in SSB sync with
nonstop rapid QSB and lite QRN rustle/almost good in AM; in //
<denge-gel.org> in streaming with some seconds of delay (Serra, Roma,
Italy)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 13810, Sept 16 at 0420, M&W in unID lang, S9+20/30, the
SSOB by far and almost the OSOB, i.e. BBC Somali until 0430* as sked
M-F only from 0400 per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 28276 CW, Sept 16 at 2204, dash and XE1JAL/B, previously
logged last September and October. WGB list: ``28276 XE1JAL/B - Xalapa
Veracruz MEX EK19mm - #0 (10 Sept 2024) Note: ID + grid + 3" carrier``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 16 at 0414, open carrier, should be
enough direct to detect modulation if any, from pirate Hikari FM or
whatever (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 98.5, Sept 16 at 0559 UT, Enid translator is // 99.9
KVBN-LP. This is a change for the 98.5 source, no idea when it
happened as I seldom listen to either but 99.9 had a joint ``KVBN`` ID
for both frequencies. This would be news to FCC and WTFDA. FCC FM
Query still claims 98.5 K253BC, licensed to Paul Regier, relays KGVV
which is 90.5 in Goltry, 14 kW, ``The House of Praise / The Love
Station``. Goltry is not far away and hardly needs a translator in
Enid. But KVBN gets a stronger 250 watt signal on 98.5 than 78 watts
on 99.9. Both WTFDA and FCC show 98.5 & 99.9 at considerably different
coordinates.
But the WTFDA FMDB shows 98.5 K253BC relays KLVV 88.7! Hardly: that`s
in Ponca City, once a semi-local signal in Enid but now blocked by
another translator here. Are translator licensees free to change their
inputs without notice? I searched the WTFDA FMDB only by city: Enid,
so I see some other wrong info:
93.1 K226BR of KIMY 93.9 Watonga has been OFF THE AIR for many years.
So what if it may officially still be licensed?
96.9 KQOB quit relaying KZLS 1640 a few years ago; Freedom 96.9 is not
also on MW, as 1640 became // 1390 KCRC with sportstalk. 96.9 tho
licensed to Enid is in effect a full-power OKC station, site closer to
there than here. Several other local signals are missing since they
are licensed to outlying towns: besides gospel huxters, 95.7, 97.7,
106.3, same group as 107.1, 96.9, 1640, 1390 (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, 17715, 15520 but still not 15390, Monday September 16
at 2159, token English from SNR after 2200 timesignal accurate to WWV,
S9+20/30 on 17855. Preview interview to be about tourism in Spain this
summer, problems in Balearix and Barcelona, with director of World
Tourism Organization. News leads with two Spaniards detained in
Venezuela, wrongfully accused of spying and planning assassinations. I
think they said some Americans were also involved (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.001-, Sept 15 at 2200, no signal from VOT English
into UTwente: BUT cuts on carrier at *2201, no modulation and off at
2202*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. They tried to start
and failed again. Signal was only S9+15, weaker than usual, but would
have been sufficient. Nor did it resume later in the hour. So we miss
this week`s `Letterbox`, if there were a new one, and I also missed
checking for the possible final repeat after 0300 on 7275 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sept 16 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS and
English IDs, S9+10/20 direct. 2223 into UTwente when measured, S9+45
during `The Energy Agenda`. 2224 music. 2227 more music. 2232 `That`s
Why`, about the Hittites who flourished in Anatolia, 1600-1200 BCE,
and after a few mins, more & more music. 2252 headlines: Gaza death
toll 41,226, and *rump not assassinated. 2253 s/off as if the 1230 on
17620 and IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs, until 2258.3* chop.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

September 15 at 2158 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003 at
