** ALGERIA. 9450, Aug 25 at 0642, S4/S6 too close to 9455 WRMI, ME music, not Qur`an, on another new frequency from Béchar site; and not // FRANCE relay still extant on 9620. Ivo Ivanov says 9450 switched to 17600 at 0800/0802 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2153)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Aug 25 at 0632, no signal from VON. On Aug 24 Joe Ihnat and Jorge Freitas were reporting this on air unusually in local evening, 1738-1808* instead of 11770-. 7254.935, today Aug 25 am hearing VON on 7255 minus 66/67 Hz into Canary SDR, 1800 news about Nigeria in English, still past 1815. S7/S9 and noisy, nearest storms in Morocco, also Mauritania, Mali. No QRM. Well before sundown at receiver, but after SS in Nigeria. Nowhere near the blasting signal we would get at 0600 when active. The YL newscaster at first was much easier to understand than the later speakers. I kept listening but could not really follow the content. S/N did not improve as the hour went on. At 1830 it was the Dir-Gen of NBC? plugging the various platforms of VON but unsure if he included SW. After 1830 there was some 2adjacent QRM from 7265 which would be CRI Urumqi in Bulgarian, or music. No problem from RRI DRM on 7240-7250. VON chopped off the air abruptly at 1846*. Recheck at 1915 now 7255 bears S9+15/25 of CRI Tuerkiyish from Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2153) ** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 24 until 2334.5*, VOT extraneous German from 2300 as in last report, finally chopped off air, shortly after I finished that report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2153) ** UKRAINE [non].

KYFR IA dominates with hymns, but when nulled only hear sportstalk from KARN AR, and briefly something in Spanish. In the new NRC AM Log, the only USA SS on 920 are WUBA in Quántico VA, unlikely; and KYST Texas City [Houston] TX, likely at U4 5/1 kW. So KLMR appears to be really off the air due to water damage July 23 as notified to FCC. See my previous report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0124 UT August 26
