** EAST TURKISTAN [non?]. 17615, August 4 at 0638, Chinese traditional music at S8/9+10, the SSOB by far, besides several carriers or JBA carriers propagating on 16m in the summer nightmiddle. Probably CGTN German service from Kashgar, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems; but simulscheduled is CRI in Chinese via Kunming. Is the entire German hour, like several other languages, defaulting to fill music? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, August 4 at 0646 UT, ``The Five States` Big Talker, KGYN`` Guymon ID, mentions Jim Bohannon, but not his voice. Seems the 78-year-old has been out for some time with health issues, but a seemingly recent item says he is now coming back, thanking three substitutes. Can no longer find any affiliate list on the web (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 4 at 0500-0507, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine: Security Issue` VG into Maryland SDR; including: Russia has failed to occupy Donbas completely; being repulsed in the south, such as 50 settlements in Kherson region liberated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2149 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: World of Radio, monitoring and confirming the latest for #2149, 40 years of shortwave listening since 1982, August is this guy’s birthday month, birthday boy; WRMI: 9395, QSB fading, slight QRN, 0030, 0044, 0058 (45343), 0059, August 4 UTC [Thu] 9395, QRN, signal S9 levels, 0130, 0143, 0159 (45433), 0158, August 4 UTC [Thu] (Lemke, Richard -AB) Good listening, Richard, August 4`` Also confirmed UT Thu Aug 4 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed UT Thu Aug 4 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/15; and S9/+10 on WRMI 5010, not solid with storm crashes, both into Maryland SDR. WOR 2150 should be ready for download and first broadcasts on WRMI 5850 & 7730, UT Friday August 5 at 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7730, UT Thursday August 4 at 0100-0130, WRMI VG with Radio Carpathia International, music from E Europe. This test spot provided by R. Northern Europe International with own show at 0130-0200. Both hosted by YLs, who they are and where they are not clear. Presumably not on a weekly basis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1090, August 4 at 0648 UT, ``The Voice of Southern Gospel Singing, news? Radio, AM 1090, KAAY`` promo. Big sig, so is it still on 12.5 kW? FCC AM Query still shows 50 kW direxional at night, with 0.08 kW only a CP, and nothing about 12.5 kW. Until digging into the Correspondence file, latest from July 14: http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=102873 Has been on 12.5 kW ND STA for over 2 years, but got another extension until January 14, 2023. Why is it so tough to get an 80 watt transmitter up and running? Meanwhile the other 1090s and DXers will have to put up with KAAY QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1160, August 4 at 0644 UT, ``la santísima virgen`` mentioned in Spanish, ergo something RCC in the Marian cult. Last year`s NRC AM Log shows some EWTN stations on 1160, but all in English. Among SS stations in USA, only REL is: WRLZ, Saint Cloud FL, U4 2500/500 watts. No website but owned by Iglesia el Calvario de Orlando, Inc., which is Assemblies of God, not Catholic. Not Mexican, only one 1160 left, in BC, non-religious. 1170 Tulsa IBOC peaking 1157 evitable by USB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1953 UT August 4
