** CUBA. 11670, Aug 15 at 0628, S4/S5 of dead air, trace of
modulation. Based on previous behavior, strongly suspect it`s RHC,
where something`s always wrong; altho other continents are also
audible nearby such as 11700 France, 11735 Korea North (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** INDIA. 13710, Aug 15 at 0133, AIR with special coverage of
Independence Day ceremonies from Red Fort: first tried Kuwait remote
but hardly any signal; then to Vadodra SDR in India which I thought
might be in skip zone from Bengaluru. Tnx to advance notice from
Alokesh Gupta that 13710 would be in English but mostly it is not. I then posted to the WOR iog: ``At risk of spoiling your SWLing, there
is also video here, audio partly in English:
https://prasarbharati.gov.in/live-tv/
For some amusement, turn on the auto-generated English captions while
Modi is speaking Hindi => gobbledygook. Also the clock in LR corner is
wrong for some world cities from Paris to San Francisco...`` It has
Paris on UT+1 instead of 2; New York & SF are both stuck at some other
certain time to the second. Before Modi started his 82-minute speech, as on TV stream, W in
English and M in Hindi took turns describing the scene, quite a visual
spectacle. Huge audience seated outside with no shade as the morning
sun climbed higher and higher, most of them in heavy clothing. As he
spoke, checked 13710 again, and there was no simultaneous English
translation, nor any available on TV. Every so often, the sometimes
hilarious totally off-topic wacky captions would include something
that may have applied to India. Apparently the bot was listening to
the original Hindi and instead of translating it, displaying English
terms resembling the Hindi syllables. Modi finally finished about 0330
but TV coverage continued to 0350 with huge bilingual credit roll.
Meanwhile, 13710 had been turned off, not sure when (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6954 USB, Aug 15 at 0046, only pirate with a bit of
jazz? into SSTV beepery, S6/S8 vs HSNL; 0049 resume same music,
soul/rock? cut off at 0056 with no ID or any voice announcement. At
slightly earlier times, these say it`s Wasteland Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,100699.0.html
as IDed on fuzzy SSTV, but finally a sharp, studio? copy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 97.3, Aug 15 at 1927 UT, quick bandscan on caradio in
case Es MUF ascend: no, but hit something here from ``Catholic Radio``
plugging stuff relating to ``Blessed Stanley Rother``, i.e. the
martyred GM of LV de Atitlán, Guatemala, 2390 -- the Okarche, Okie
proto-saint, so got to be KKNG-FM, the 1 kW OKCR in Blanchard. Quickly
fades, so maybe airplane scatter or just a GW fluke (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 7420, UT Mon Aug 15 at 0045, S9+10/20 of nice folk music
on RRI Romanian-language service; while 7375 in English talk rates the
same but sounds weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. Re my Aug 10 report, Richard Langley and Alan Roe say it
must have been the Jeff Healey Band, from Canada, not Joe Healy. Yes,
reviewing my original scribble, it was Jeff, not Joe (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 15 at 2226, VOT is on VG, repeating the advice
about treatment, remedies, for stinky feet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 15 at 0500-0507, UR1 via WRMI,
`Ukraine: Security Issue` for Aug 14 = Day 172 of Putin`s war. Again
it`s the accented YL who speaks too fast, including: more shelling; 16
cruise missiles in the Black Sea; Russia has lost 43,500 soldiers,
10,000 military equipments; NY Times says Ukraine is getting new
stronger, long-range weapons, changing tactix; raising funds for 200
drones; Russia using captured foreigners as hostages (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
August 14 at 2001 underway on AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+5/15 into nearby
SDR. Not confirmed, Sunday August 14 at 2230 on WRMI 5950 where it has been
appearing for months despite being replaced by something else on
skedgrid. Not that either, but now open carrier/dead air at S9+10/20
into Georgia SDR; I believe a gospel huxter had just finished. Dead
air remains until 2255 starts IS & ID loop, to start at ``top of
hour``, tho sked shows 5950 should begin with System L at 2100, and a
new hour of TOMBS daily at 2200-2300. Meanwhile, 5850 is also dead air
at 2230, while all other 5, 7 and 9 MHz frequencies are active. 5850
was supposed to start at 2200. Checked next day at 2255 Aug 15, 5950
is in TOM but not BS himself, // 9455 & 15770, so that will apparently
rule out any more WORs at 2230. What about 2330 on 5950, scheduled as `Challenge` for an hour daily
from 2300, but last Tuesday WOR was really heard at 2330? Is it really
a 60-minute show? Apparently, on Aug 15 it keeps playing past 2330, so
WOR unlikely on Tue Aug 16, but should still be on 9395 at that hour. Also confirmed UT Monday August 15 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S5/S7 noisy
into Georgia SDR, better S7/S9 into Maryland. Direct at 0044? S7/S9
but VP including high storm noise level. Also confirmed UT Monday August 15 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160
minus 63 Hz into PEI SDR = 6159.937, S8. Next: 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5950 to NNW [last week, but not? See above]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

15 at 0340, `Concert Hall` on WBCQ Radio Angela with Wagner`s
`Parsifal`, part I, all the way until 0358 for brief poem `A
Jellyfish`, part II to be next week from 0200 UT Monday (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, Aug 15 at 0507, no signal from WRMI into Maryland
SDR, unlike surprise extension last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Aug 15 at 1454, no signal at all from WRMI while 9395
& 9455 bear weak signals. 9955 is supposed to be on all day from 1100
to 0400. Let`s hope 9955 be back Friday at 1430 for WOR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2336 UT August 15
