** CUBA. 15230, Sept 17 at 0338, S8/9+10 of dead air in Spanish from
RHC where something`s always wrong. The Other Side:
``Agriculture -- the first law of Castroism: even when something goes
very wrong, it can always get even worse. If the Ministry of
Agriculture granted 100 pesos of credit for each fruitless plan,
measure, resolution, order, strategy, law, and agreement it has
issued, Cuba's fields would not be overrun with marabou. Rafaela Cruz

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 17 at 0335, anti-Christ pirate Station
YHWH, S9/+10 undermodulated vs storm noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 17 at 0340, JBA S6/S7, finally some
modulation audible direct, music, 0342 announcement seems English but
too weak to copy, 0343 back to music, choral? I emailed to the Hikari
FM address, but no reply yet. EiBi shows location as Choya Bay,
Sonora, which is what the pirate op once said. Or Cholla, that`s just
west beyond Puerto Peñasco on a little peninsula into the Sea of
Cortez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 17 at 0635 UT, usual dominant signal
from KQCV OKC has some very distorted QRM on this frequency only. Not
sure yet whether local, need to check on other radios. No sign of the
noise in daytime at 1710. NRC AM Log shows *all* other conterminous US
800s have less than KQCV`s 1000-watt night power. XEROK is kaput, not
mentioned at all in 2024 IRCA Mexican Log. There are a few more XEs
still on 800; higher-powered Canadians; and PJB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Sept 17 at 2158, no token English on Tuesday but
checking SNR Ladino reception anyway. VP direct S5/S8 with pulsing on
the plus side. This NAm frequency at S6/S8 is *weaker* than 17715 to
SAm, S9/+10 with flutter, so something`s notright at Noblejas in
addition to prop disturbance. 15520 also on and 15390 also still off.
Estimated frequency at 2200 of the pulsing, never noticed before:
17855.7. Is it REE transmitter itself? Into Maryland SDR at 2220,
17855 S3/S5 with flutter and 17715 S5/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sept 17 at 2157, TRT VOT IS & ID direct at
S9+10, but really unusable by English program start 2200 due to
extreme propagation disturbance. By 2217 when measured into UTwente
synching onto weak S7 signal, but no sound. Later in hour, no signal
at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 395 MCW kHz, Sept 17 at 0650 UT, ND beacon CA is JBA, 25
watts from Newton `Harvs`, Kansas. Had been seeking this for longtime
and suspected off. RNA list shows it last logged on 2024-02-17. Always
weaker than another KS, HRU on 407, 25 watts from Herington; but now
HRU is inaudible. RNA says last logged 2024-09-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 9955, Sept 17 at 0500+, WRMI still on the air with R. Prague
in English, which is what`s on WRN at this time. On WRMI webcast and
9955 into Pardinho, Brasil SDR but way out of synch (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 7490-, Sept 17 at 0337, WBCQ with TOMBS, S8/S9 but very
unusually with Doppler flutter, i.e. frequency wobbling due to geomag
storm. Aurora not quite reaching Maine nor here nor directly in
between (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. IN THE AMERICAS with DAVID YETMAN is an excellent
27-minute TV series I always try to watch at the single time it airs
on OETA Create channel from PBS, UT Tuesdays at 0300 - it appears that
all 10 seasons of episodes may be viewed via
