** ALGERIA. 17600, Oct 30 at 1450 direct, and at 1907, 2033 into
UTwente, NO signal from Ifrikya FM, which is HFCC registered at
0700-0100! Others do report it in their mornings after 0700, but when
does it really stop?
``An English segment was heard today, 30 October, at 0753 on 15160 and
17600. Called "Living Legends" (or perhaps "Living Legends Never
Dies"), this episode was talking about a woman (couldn't catch the
name) involved in the conflict between Algeria and France from the
1830s.
Also today, 30 October, from 1030 to 1045 (and still on 15160 and
17600) was a studio "roundtable-style" discussion in English about the
"digital landscape" (encompassing education, social affairs and social
media), with a short musical break midway through the discussion. Alan
Roe, Teddington, UK`` in the WOR iog; and:
I heard them yesterday (29 October) on 17600 kHz (didn’t check 15160)
with a talk in English at 0743 about the Afar people and their
cultural heritage. Difficult to follow at times due to the presenter’s
accent. Reggae music followed up until the news in French at 0800.

** CUBA [non]. 13820, Oct 30 at 1448, S9/+20 of open carrier as
Grimesland is warming up for R. Martí at 1500-2100, always B-season
frequency instead of 13605 A-season. No jamming audible yet on either
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ITALY [non]. 7290.002, Oct 30 at *1857, IRRS `Milano` via ROMANIA
or BULGARIA on with tone, then dead air, S9+10/15, 1900 s/on as
``7285`` and into anti-abortion gospel huxter. So now it *is*
announcing wrong frequency. QRM situation: until 1857, 7290 is CRI;
from 1857, 7295 is CRI, with heavy ACI to IRRS now on 7290, while
nothing is on 7285 or 7280 = so IRRS should have stayed on 7285! if
it`s going to be at 19-20 UT instead of 18-19 in A-season, which we
expected and is now shown on NEXUS/IBA sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 800, Oct 30 at 0658, still heavy distorted QRM from XEERG,
NL, to nearby KQCV OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690 & 12030, Wed Oct 30 at 2318 check, NO TOKEN ENGLISH,
SFR still in Spanish instead, both fairly audible direct, probably
about the flash-flooding disaster. Both VG into UTwente and JBA on
17715, 17755. As I reported, NO frequencies were on air when English
should have appeared Monday Oct 28 after 2300. But, earlier Wed: ``An
English podcast has now been uploaded (on 29 Oct for the UT Mon 28 Oct
programme). Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` Here it be with subject:

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004-, Oct 30 at 2318, strong signal direct
on indoor antenna during OK thunderstorm, must be VOT back after
absent two days. Yes, into UTwente at 2322 when measured, English at
S9+25/35; 2332 starts `The Middle East and Turkey`. 2340 music. 2344
`Sports Panorama`. 2352 s/off as if 13635 at 1330-1430 --- something`s
always awry at Ankara, and IS: now I can hear some CCCCCCI underneath,
which would be PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of
imperialist ChiCom cultural genocide against Uyghurs and other
Moslems. 2356 restart VOT IS with German IDs twice a minute.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Off at 2358* uncovering
Urumqi, mentioning ``Wulumushi`` multiple times, frequency/relay
listing? Briefly this seems to have CCI of IS from some religious
broadcaster, but nothing else scheduled starting or stopping now. 0000
into CNR1 relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K [non]. 11810, Oct 30 at 0645, S6/S9 English about Cameroon:
