** ALGERIA. 17600, Aug 23 at 1909, JBA signal, presumably new activity
from here; nothing much else on band except France 17850 and Spain
17855. Also checked 21450, nothing heard from another RTA as reported
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Aug 23 at 1910, no signal from RHC, first English hour
missing, sometimes alternate 15370 neither. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Aug 22 at 2200, R. Cairo, no English signal into
UTwente, just rapid clicking noises. 9439.995, Aug 23 at 2126, it`s on at S9+35, but extremely suptorted,
useless. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** FRANCE. 17850, Aug 23 at 1908, French from RFI to CAf, much weaker
than overshadowing 17855 Spain direct to NAm. Such geo/frequencial
adjacency is surely inadvisable and unnecessary; RFI sked 17-20 per
EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Aug 23 at 1527, presumed Dhivehi and some
music, 1529 s/off in English, did he say KVOM Maldives? As in Voice of
Martyrs Korea, and off 1530* in time for Vatican opening Arabic;
listening via Iceland SDR where it`s poor, and India much better.
Noting frequency offsets but uncertain whether SDRs be correctly
calibrated: I think not. As to secret site for VOMK, Aoki shows
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, but from unusually good reception here, and not
being significantly off-frequency, I doubt that. While Wolfgang
Bueschel is convinced it`s Pao Chung, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255 LSB, Aug 23 at 0558, American ham QSO
boldly in progress, complaining about taxes in Alabama, no VON yet,
but 7254.94 cuts on late at *0601 becoming the S9+10/20 BFO, pitching
the hams only slightly offtune; they keep going, as VON Hausa is
undermodulated. Recheck at 0634, all gone already (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Aug 23 at 1902 UT, PN, 25 watt ND beacon at
PoNca City, is off. When on it has the bestsig of all, day and night
by groundwave, about 79 km = 49 statute miles, city to city. I expect
it to be back, eventually (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Aug 22 at 2150, the REE frequency for N America is
back on, having been absent since at least Aug 17, S9+5/25 direct and
the OSOB, so far in Spanish; but also for Monday 2200 English when
checked via UTwente SDR: 17855 not so good; 15520 very poor; 11940
with good modulation restored; 11670 or rather 11669.992+, with echo,
long-path? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.001+, Aug 22 at 2202, VOT English is VG S9+40/50 into
UTwente but somewhat undermodulated; also caught until 2256* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE. (7730), `Ukraine: Security Issue` for Aug 22 = day 180:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_22_08_22.mp3
including: missile fired from Black Sea region: Over past day, Russia
lost 7 tanx, helicopter, 4 air defense systems. 9 Russian drones
destroyed. Prepared for 24 August, be especially vigilant for
Independence Day. Mariupol show-trials of POWs, absolutely disgusting.
U shall not tolerate mistreatment of heroes. Metal cages assembled in
theater. World vs Russia case of genocide at UN International Court of
Justice. R accuses U of genocide, justifying aggression. Forbes
Ukraine magazine lists 30 under 30 outstanding people. 20,000 Starlink
terminals received from Musk company for internet access (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28289.3 kHz CW, Aug 23 at 1903, AL AL DE WJ5O/B, beacon at
Troy AL is the OSOB, sporadic E barely accomplishing this much, from
the proprietor of the 10m list of hundreds of others, 99.99? % never
heard. I thought this was on the + side of 28290 but did not try to
measure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: ``From: Richard

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15670-15675-15680, Aug 23 at 1453, WINB DRM on new hybrid
frequency, before resuming 15745-15750-15755 at 1500. Only poor signal
direct. After 1500 I try to monitor it via SDRs in PEI, Maine, and
Iceland but keep getting error messages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 23 before 0559, no signal detectable from R.
Vanuatu; while VON not yet up on 7255, but splash from 7265 French.
11835, no signal at 0635. So remains AWOL. However, Harold Sellers, BC
reported it on 11835, Aug 22 beginning to fade in at 0804 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2132 UT August 23
