** CUBA. 5025, Sept 24 at 0700, R. Rebelde not dead air but children`s
chorus, not anthem, and JBA // on MW 1620. Something`s not always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 9790, Sept 24 at 0651, S9/+20 dead air but trace of
modulation: surely CRI relay transmitter until 0500 failed to turn
off, blowing away RFI in French at 0600-0700, which is normally
audible without the Cublock. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba.
6000 also still on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 24 at 0657, S9+15/25 of dead air as RHC has failed
to turn off transmitter earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC. See
also 9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 24 at 2220 check direct, VOT English not
off the air. Into UTwente at 2247 when measured, S9+45/50 ending
`Turkey`s Geomarked Products`, music. 2252 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo. 2253 s/off the 1230 on 17620. Something`s always awry at
Ankara. 2253 IS briefly to 2253.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday September 24 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/30 but noisy direct,

** U S A. 9475 WTWW: George McClintock replied to my report of spurs
at 0315 Sept 24: ``Glenn, I had very bad transmitter problems. Just
got 5085 on just a few hours ago. #1 transmitter also has problems. 2
transmitters off air at the same time. George McClintock 9-23-2024``.
9475 was off again Sept 24 at 2220 check, but on at 2307 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1060, Sept 24 at 0703 UT, traffic report mentioning
Delaware, weather, must be 50 kW KYW Philadelphia atop the channel;
yes, then into ``final hour of Sports Philadelphia``. Not often heard;
day and night patterns with NW/SE lobes and supposedly null thisaway!
per NRC Pattern Book. Radio-locator
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KYW&service=AM
is similar but not a deep notch hereto.
1070, Sept 24 at 0705 UT, traffic report on the 101 freeway,
Hollywood, got to be ND 50 kW KNX Los Ángeles. Neat to be getting
coast-to-coast MW simultaneously on adjacent frequencies with 1060 KYW
Philadelphia. Total apartness 3843 km = 2388 miles. Still that
annoying LAH = low audible heterodyne from always off-frequency KFTI
Wichita. MWoffsets shows it 22 Hz low (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1130, Sept 24 at 0709 UT, KLEY ID immediately upon tunein,
Wellington KS mixing with KWKH, which obviously doesn`t care about its
protracted violation with 250 watt day power instead of 1 watt nights,
which means we can`t call it a ``daytimer``, strictly speaking. 1 watt
at night not even covers its country, let alone rimshotting Wichita:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KLEY&service=AM&h=N&z=o
but slightly pulled in SSEward as if ``protecting`` KWKH also in
daytime. And KLEY certainly not trying to hide itself. Not that I
really care vs stupid sportstalk; except for following the rules
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1550, Sept 24 at 1913 UT, ``The Bluegrass Express`` slogan
confirmed as listed for KKLE Winfield KS. Mobile at Great Salt Plains
NWR, NW of Enid. Is sibling station of 1130 KLEY.
1400, Sept 24 at 1914 UT, ``Your Country, KEYE`` is the dominant 1400
station at midday on caradio, visiting artesia near Great Salt Plains
OK. Perryton TX, in the NE Panhandle, not one I could get on
groundwave back in Enid. I used to have some relatives there; it was
tornadoed June 15, 2023 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12195, Sept 24 at 0655, still mystery open carrier,
S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 2316 UT September 24
