** CUBA. 5040, Aug 18 at 0555, RHC in English, but no signal on 11670.
05-06 and 23-24 are the only nominal hours for English on 5040. It
usually goes back into unscheduled Spanish after 0600 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Aug 18 at 1424, RHC S9/+10 but distorted. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PHILIPPINES. 9370, Aug 18 at 1427, 1 kHz tone at S2/S4, 1429 JBA
Yankee Doodle, 1430 unknown language. VOA sked as Myanmarianese, er,
Burmese via Tinang (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), catching up on `Ukraine: Security Issue`
from web instead of WRMI at 0500: for Aug 17, day 173? accented
fast-talking OM. Russia lost more than 44K personnel. Crimea turned
into military base, lots of explosions by Ukrainian
counter-offensives, ``de-militarization of peninsula``. More bridges
destroyed in Kherson region. Relatives reported disappeared. Abducted
a journalist, fate unknown. Russia fires up to 800x a day on Ukrainian
targets. Few Russians want to fight in Ukraine, so ``recruiting`` in
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and trained on Chechnya. For Aug 16, Day 174, by accented YL, including: railway connexions
suspended in southern Ukraine; explosions in Crimea, now military base
instead of tourist destination; could take a sesquimonth to liberate
part of Kherson region. Russia actively using Belarusian territory for
attax on Ukraine. 24 Aug is Ukraine`s independence day when increased
shelling is expected; be prepared for air raid sirens. Russia launched
more than 22,000 strikes of which only 300 landed on military
facilities. Kremlin enjoying keeping the world in tension. More danger
at Zap. nuclear plant. Only an ``iron curtain`` can save us from
Russia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday August

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Thu Aug 18 at 1430, WRMI back on the air at this hour,
with Spanish DX show `Frecuencia al Día`, boding well for WOR 24 hours
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Aug 18 at 1428, JBA signal presumably the 500? kW
WBCQ/WLCR, very QRP? Or propagation? WRMI is not degraded. Note: when
setting up a SW station in the US, it`s far more advantageous to put
it as far *south* as possible than north. WWV e-mail for 1500 is
missing, so I axually listen at 1718, but she is still quoting the
1200 report too! instead of 1500, which was: ``:Product: Geophysical Alert Message wwv.txt

# Geophysical Alert Message

Solar-terrestrial indices for 17 August follow.
Solar flux 123 and estimated planetary A-index 31.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1200 UTC on 18 August was 3.
[but by 1800, K-index increased to 5]
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level occurred.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred. Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be strong.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3 level are likely.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 930, Aug 18 at 0606 UT, music station, ``102.7, the ---``
mixing with sports WKY OKC. Since it`s only on paper, I hunt thru all
51 stations on 930 in the new NRC AM Log, and find the only one with a
102.7 FM connexion is: WFAT Battle Creek MI, U4 5/1 kW, `The Fat One`
pretending to be an FM station only, yet with nothing but a
translator, W274AQ, CLR = classic rock format. At radio-locator, night
pattern shows a null notch thisaway to the SW, favoring the north,
probably to protect WTAD Quincy IL not WKY; day pattern not so
notched. Reverse lookup of all 102.7 stations in the WTFDA FMDB agrees the only
930 relay match is WFAT! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 18 at 0603 UT, soft rock atop KWKH sports
making medium SAH, no doubt KLEY Wellington KS on 250 W daytime power
rather than one watt at night, in its latest spate of modulation
instead of nonstop dead air. Something`s always wacky in Wellington.
Hey, NZ DXers should seek this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2152) ** U S A. Re my unID Catholic or at least Christian Spanish Aug 4 and
5 between 06 and 07 UT on 1160: have not been able to hear since, but
this from Terry Krueger, FL, correlates: ``1160 FLORIDA WRLZ St. Cloud 0735 8/6/22 Nonstop soft Spanish
Christian vocals, man top of hour “Esta es WRLZ, Orlando [sic]… El
Corazón de Dios.” Peaking very good, so 2500 watts daytime, or 500
night? TLK`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1430, Aug 18 at 0600 UT, WPLN Madison TN [near Nashville =
Public Library of Nashville], ID as 24 hours, back to BBCWS relay with
`Newsday`. Presumably cheating on 15 kW ND day facility (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2152) ** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 18 at 0555, no signal from R. Vanuatu, nor after
0600 on 11835. Had been checking every night, except Aug 17, when
Manuel Méndez, Spain, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec, Brasil, and Ron Howard,
California found it already absent from all known frequencies. There they
go again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2152) This report dispatched at 0055 UT August 19
