** MADAGASCAR. 13710, Oct 14 at 2109, something new: ``His mother
waited up for him``, repeated over and over --- a secret spy message?
No, alternating with something in Chinese, so a language lesson; first
thought VOA? But next phrase to learn is ``The Bible tells us to wait
patiently on the Lord`` --- oh, oh, better not be VOA. Nothing is
scheduled in the big three on 13710 at this hour, but MWV is on 13710
until 2100 in Arabic. Chinese follows supposed to be on 11610 where
it`s always good here, aimed at Europe, so failed to change frequency!
Wish I had figured this out in time to check whether 11610 were
missing today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 14 at 2205, VOT English inbooming to UTwente at
S9+40 with usual features, but after same old COVID-19 PSA and `Today
in History`, just music fill after 2218, no `Letterbox` on yet another
Wednesday. But the music is really nice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 18155-USB, Oct 14 at 2103, ham in ``western Washington``
in contact with weaker station, but he is in deep fades avoiding ID,
typical of sporadic E. First catch on ``17`` m in a few weeks despite
frequent scanthrus. DXMaps did not catch this opening MUF even unto
<19 MHz. OSOB and also not a thing on 16m SWBC band, and probably not
either a single transmission now from anywhere in Hemisphere West
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
