** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, Sept 14 at 0100, RAE, ``Argentina to the
World``, via WRMI, English announcer Fernando Farías explains that for
the past sesquiyear since March 2020 they have all been working from
home and producing one program per week; hope before long to get back
into the studio for five per week, M-F. Plugs address for eQSLs:
QSLRAE@gmail.com BTW, it doesn`t matter whether e-mail addresses are
in caps or not or both; unlike URLs after / (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 6754-USB, Sept 14 at 0040, CHR is back at least on night
frequency; still nothing earlier in Sept 13 daytime chex on 15034-USB.
Recent aviation weather for Keflavík succeeds; but the other
infostream, terminal forecasts, gets ``No Report Received``, from
Shannon, Prestwick, Keflavík!, Lajes. ``Trenton Military`` timecheck
at 0042 claims it`s only 0040 zulu, typical. Then Shearwater av wx
succeeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6145, Sept 14 at 0050, S9+20/30, RHC English is here on
alternate frequency to 6165! // 6000, but I doubt it will last.
Something`s always wrong? at RHC. Good news for WBCQ Area 61, now in
the clear on 6159.951 --- see U S A. 6145, Sept 14 at 0617 next check, S9+30, still here not 6165, during
wide-ranging N America weather info from Chief Meteorologist,
typically around :15 into one of the English hours. 6000 is off but
6100, 6060 humbuzzy and even 5040 are still on in English (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21690, Sept 14 at 1532, RFI Swahili JBA into Kuwait SDR,
nothing yet on registered 25775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Sept 14 at 1524, Kashmir Civitas reconfirmed
this Tue, S8-S9 into UTwente, passionate speech in presumed Urdu with
background noise; 1527 back to quiet studio talk with strumming
background until chopped off at 1529.2*, via IRRS via ROMANIA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Sept 14 at 0625 UT, PN, Ponca City, NDB is
off again. Seems is becoming sporadic. Still off at 1712 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Sept 13 at 2200, REE, English token semihour
still propagating sufficiently on daring MUF-abutting frequency
starting out at ``midnight`` local time -- really less than 2200 local
*mean* time; but, still I may listen on the PL-880 portable with
nothing more than a few meters clipped on; altho it fades somewhat,
and this old PL-880 annoyingly keeps switching between wide and narrow
bandwidths without any buttonic intervention. Justin Coe forecasts, after current events, another edition of the `DX
Program` which is really nothing but a mailbag --- and the issue of
naming, or re-naming it does not come up this week. The first
dekaminute is really more about the René Magritte art exhibition
opening tomorrow in Madrid ---
https://www.museothyssen.org/en/exhibitions/magritte-machine
and a singer dying, than about hard news. 2210 a song. 2212 DX Program starts: first got a card portraying Myrtle Beach SC
from Otto? Schwartz just across the border in Calabash NC. It was sent
on August 23 but just arrived. Quotes his reception report of the 8/18
program with some of the topix, which is rather incestuous if not
pointless now. Including music by Javier García who it seems J.C. has
featured more than once. SINPO 45544 into his DX-440; and he also
heard the 7/24 program. Then a brief voice mail from WOR iog member Peter Jones in GB, who was
hoping for a resumption of the English-language podcasts, never mind
SW. J.C. explains they are still missing due to a staff shortage but
hopes that will soon, unknown when, be rectified, ¿mañana? Rest of program is a song, `Noche Tranquila y Serena`, the lyrix of
which J.C. first reads in translation. 2220 song starts with SFX of
waves lapping? 2228 outro that the song was dedicated to both
writers-in, adiós and a bit more music to semihour timepips and into
French. One wonders if any more than two English listeners had
contacted in the last month? Is there an e-mail address direct to
Justin, in addition to p-mail and v-mail? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15520, Sept 14 at 1514, REE in Spanish, S6-S9. Off the back,
to ME but best chance for us if we want to hear it before 1800 M-F,
when 17855 opens thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2103 monitoring; next:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6159.951, UT Tue Sept 14 at 0052, Area 61 via WBCQ is in the
clear thanks to RHC on 6145 instead of 6165, but don`t count on it to
last. Cowboy song finishes, then lament for someone who has died, a
member of the Grand Ole Opry; 0053 classic Camel cigarette ad in full,
which would be illegal today but OK as an historical relic? Trouble
is, Camels still exist, I think. Credit to G.O.O. on AFRS, NBC and
WSM, NBC Monitor; Yes, G.O.O. from 13 Sept 1958y is on this week`s
Area 61 sked:

BTW, as a non-zappahead, I now know that Larry Will`s `cosmikdebris`
handle derives from a Frank Zappa song:

--- and into WBCQ The Planet ID, a few more minutes of music fill
before another ID and 0100, Hal Turner touting reaching 70 countries on SW via WRMI & WBCQ,
is that all? in addition to his pipsqueak AM outlet in Utah, 13-watt
KYAH 540 in Delta. Well, it will be on night power if legal from 0145
in September, from 0100 UT in October. I bet Hal never mentions KYAH
coverage, power, which at best is 1 kW days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Sept 14 at 1517, WBCQ-6 SuperStition is off again
after resuming WLCR nonsense yesterday. Hope the new $ 240K PA tube did
not break again? Still absent at 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, Sept 14 at 0654 UT, open carrier atop KWKH, no doubt
still KLEY Wellington KS, still on air for nothing. 1507 UT in
daytime, nothing but S9+20 dead air, ditto at 1700 UT. 1550, Sept 14 at 1508 UT and other chex, still unable to confirm its
sibling station also made a license-saving comeback. Only a JBA
carrier, DF for Sapulpa OK, not Winfield KS. Maybe KKLE came and went
again very briefly; From NRC DX News Sept 21, published Sept 13: ``SILENT STATIONS
Formerly silent stations informing the FCC they are back on the air:
1130 KLEY KS Wellington – Silent Aug. 26, 2020; back on the air Aug 12
at 1:30 p.m. local time.
1550 KKLE KS Winfield – Silent Aug. 26, 2020; back on the air Aug 12
at 12 noon local time.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1413 kHz, Sept 14 at 0623 UT, JBA carrier a big
surprise, the only significant one in 9/kHz scan after 846 no doubt
Kiritimati, better than usual at 0620. Is it TP or TA? No obvious
hits, per WRTH MW listings: Highest power E Asia/Pacific is 50 kW
Japan, but well pre-sunset and nothing on other JJ frequencies even
the biggies; lots of lower-powered, Australia, Bangladesh, China,
India, Indonesia, NZ, Philippines, Taiwan. All too early except
possibly NZ. The superpowers are surely too far east into the dayside,
500 kW Moldova, 800 kW Oman. Still circa sunrise are RNE5 synchros,
Spain adding up to 35 kW; but no other obvious Spanish carriers (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1725 UT September 14
