** CANADA. 28197 CW, Sept 20 at 2204, DE VE7MTY/B and 4 step-down
power dashes; and on 28174, VVV DE VE1VDM/B, and series of dits/E`s,
so 10m beacons from coast to coast. Also several phones higher up from
South America; see CHILE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHILE. 28450 USB, Sept 20 at 2211, CE3KEY calling CQ DX after

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 20 at 0637, S9+45 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde, hohum; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 800, Sept 20 at 0620, KQCV OKC with just a bit of distorted
QRM, along with several others like CKLW, PJB. McAllen SDR check at
1558 daytime: still extreme distorted talk on 800, and matching
cadence on non-distorted 690. BTW, Mauno Ritola points out that while
the ``quick & easy`` version of mwlist does not specify Mexican
states, the full database does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1460, Sept 20 at 0628, ``Grupo Fórmula`` mentioned as I
tune across. IRCA Mexican log shows only two active on 1460, and one
ORF: XEYC 1/1 kW Ciudad Juárez, Chih. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 20 at 1510, JBA signal from ex-Hikari
FM pirate. Also Sept 21 at 0020, JBA carrier vs S7/8 noise level on
about 11514.92 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 200 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
direct and also on 17715, 15520 but still no 15390. Preview interview
topic to be about paralympix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15550.015+, Sept 20 at 1508, Arabish S8/S9
direct and slightly off-frequency plus. Check UTwente just in time
before 1527* readout 15 Hz high as above, it`s R. Tamazuj from site
MADAGASCAR but at 1445-1600, not -1527* per HFCC, EiBi and Aoki. EiBi
shows sibling service R. Dabanga for Darfur follows on 15550 from 1600
via Vatican, and 1700-1730 via France (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sept 20 at 2159 tune-in, S9+20/30 direct, VOT
English is already signing-on instead of IS, and starting olds: their
clock must be fast. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2215 in music.
2228 into UTwente when measured, music at S9+35/40. 2230 `Turkish Folk
Tales`, ``The Nightingale``. 2234 TRTVOTVorld.com promo. 2235 music.
2240 `That`s Why` repeat, Archaeological Adventure in Anatolia: the
Hittites. 2246 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2251 headlines,

** U K [non]. 17745.009+, Fri Sept 20 at 1511, S5/S7 direct of
19-second announcement with music, looping with pauses, restarting
every 36 seconds: ``BBC --- This is the BBC; there are no programmmes
on this channel at present. Details of all our services are at
bbcworldservice.com`` Lotsa luck finding anything about this there. At
1528 into UTwente when measured, S9+30/35. Keeps going past 1530 and
even past 1600!
Per HFCC & EiBi, this is amid a 17745 weekday sesquihour pause
between: Somali 1400-1500 at 225 degrees via UAE, and Kinyarwanda
1630-1700 at 315 degrees via MADAGASCAR, i.e. thisaway. I`d opt for
the latter site at this strength. But why waste all those 250 kW? On
weekends, Somali is sked straight thru, 11-17 via UAE, 17-19 via Oman
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130 -74 Hz = 5129.926, Sept 20 at *2355, WBCQ comes on with
IS and ID loop, but not 3265, S9/+10 into NH SDR. 2359 ``WBCQ, Radio
Trump International on Radio Angela`` outdated ID, dead air and //
7490 after 0000 Sept 21, opening `AAAWWW` theme with first interjexion
``we have to fight for free speech``, etc. With Angela in Florida
studio 9, right into politix, about taxes, ``Democrat crap``. Made
worse by both of them, especially Angela, yelling, which from a studio
makes their delusions even more of a turn-off. So I hardly pay
attention but let this new episode run in background. 5130- goes to
dead air at 0100 before they are quite finished; at 0102 canned WBCQ
ID, more DA and off by 0103 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
