** EGYPT. 9899.606+, Feb 21 at 2107 no signal yet into UTwente, but by
2116 recheck it`s on, S9+30 in suptorted English, totally unusable.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY [non]. 15215, Feb 21 at 1544, JBA carrier, presumed AWR
Guam or Sri Lanka, both sites listed, scheduled until 1600. 15215, Mon Feb 21 from 1555 I am monitoring via Maryland SDR for Radio
Amrum/Öömrang, annual one-hour broadcast via FRANCE aimed at New York
where there are more Frisian expats than on the islands themselves.
Cuts on abruptly at *1600, VG S9+10/20 but with constant humwhine
undertone for entire hour. Sign-on in German, then 1601 English with
full details as 500 kW, crediting backers by name, coördinated with
annual bonfire ceremony at this very hour. 1602 into interview of
schoolteacher with frequent summaries in English of what has been
said, at approx.: 1609.8, 1614.5, 1620.5, 1622. I think this is not
the same recording as last year; at least refers once to what happened
in 2020. 1626 full ID again in German with telefon numbers, and English, same
as at sign-on. Announcer is Gerhard ---. 1628 different interview
starts with Mr and Mrs Peters, mentions Corona, and ``ankles`` more
than once in English summaries, meaning uncles? At 1630 a quick check
of direct reception to deep North America: S9/+10. More English pauses
at 1637.5, 1639.8; 1644.5 about the Frisian language being taught in
schools there two hours per week; 1650.5. 1656 full ID again, including two phone numbers, first of which is
046822688. 1658 modulation stops, still humwhine carrier and now also
JBA warbling like jamming, until cut off at 1700.3*. An unique annual
tradition continues. Despite the contact info given, apparently no
QSLing, other than proxy by MBR transmission provider. Following my
imminent alert to the WOR iog, widely reported across our continent
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GREECE. 9420, Feb 21 at 2107, no signal from VOG into UTwente.
Others checking lately have not been hearing it either. We fear it may
be an earlier permanent QRT than expected. Still nothing at 0037 Feb
22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 15530.040, Mon Feb 21 at 1544, JBA off-frequency carrier.
KSDA is scheduled 1530-1600 in Tibetan except days 12347 in English =
Sun/Mon/Tue/Wed/Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also GERMANY [non] ** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 21 at 2325, no signal direct from VOT English.
Must have come on way late, for at 2341 it`s S9+30, VG modulation into
UTwente with that COVID PSA, music. Wonderful IS playing by 2352; 2356
fades audio down audiblizing the CCCCCCI; then restarting IS with
German IDs interspersed twice a minute. Pause at 0000 Feb 22,
timesignal mixing out of step with East Turkistan, standard
denunciation; s/on in German with detailed irrelevant satellite
parameter info. Not until 0004 do the Nachrichten start. Announcer has
poor mumbly enunciation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
Still going at 0014 into music, and 0022 check in German. No telling
how long this will last --- until the sleepyrator upwake. Bonus not
likely to last the entire hour, too bad: ahh, Schluß at 0024*
uncovering imperialist Mandarin from Xinjiang. BTW, the guy who runs the jammer against Dengê Welat is trying to
control how people speaking other languages pronounce Turkey; the
Germans are all set with their facility for umlauting! Next step:
resurrecting the Ottoman Empire? No, that won`t do: footstools! ``Goodbye Turkey, hello Türkiye
Turkey is rebranding its internationally recognised name as “Türkiye”.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the new name “represents and
expresses the culture, civilisation and values of the Turkish nation
in the best way”. But the change is about more than phonetic
pronunciation. BBC Monitoring’s Ilgin Karlidag explains.

to be called Côte d`Ivoire, substituting one colonial language for
another. But how should we say it in these EiBi languages?

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 332 MCW kHz, Feb 21 at 0715 UT, normally a mix here
between 1000 watt dash and QT Thunder Bay, Ontario, and 400 watt
weaker but closer IC Wichita KS. But the latter JBA call now sounds
more like FC. Nonesuch currently listed on 332, 333 or 334, but RNA
classaxe does show an FCY on 332, 25 watts at Forrest City, Arkansas,
last reported in 2005y. Maybe miskeying IC or confused by mixing with
something else. An N added to an I would sound like an F (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0056 UT 2/22/22
