** ALBANIA [non]. 7730, Sept 6 at 0618, R. Tirana via WRMI, really
nice folk music resembling Greek that I could not tune away from, 0627
closing English, IS, theme and still opening misaligned German as if
on ``3985``. RT continues to ignore WRMI relays. This will shortly
turn off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ALGERIA. 17600, Sept 5 at 2114, very weak Arabic pop music? S0/S2,
obviously TDA Béchar, OSOB except for inbooming SPAIN - a tremendous
disparity between two? hi? powers not that far apart but of course
with differing azimuths, REE thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100, Sept 6 at 0637, RHC, S9+30 in wrong language Spanish
news instead of English which is on 6165 only and unusually much
weaker, only S9+10/20 and undermod. 5040 also Spanish. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. The Other Side; ``Fidel Castro: The Destruction of the Cuban Nation
'In addition to the trauma of forcing Cuba's economy to operate under
socialist planning, we must add the underexamined effects of Castro's
personal interventions in the economy'

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13820, Sept 6 at 2118, residual pulse jamming JBA where Radio
Martí resides never in the A-seasons, and about the same on 13605,
where RM is in the A-seasons but never later than 2000*. But they`re
covered, protected, just in case! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13680, Sept 6 at 2119, RHC Spanish suptorted at S2/S5 but
soon fading to JBA. Much louder and less distorted on // 13740 at
S4/S7. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, Sept 6 at 2126, JBA carrier direct, presumably R.
Cairo. 9439.994+, Sept 6 at 2159, S9+20/40 into UTwente, hugely
distorted, totally worthless. Something`s always egregious in Egypt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 6 at 0616, VON is S9/+10 direct but
undermodulated. 7255-, Sept 6 at 1730, no signal into Canary SDR; unfortunately I had
left volume turned up while #2 in queue and out of the room, so noise
blasted out at first. At 1740 nothing on 9690, and only Chinese? on
11770. 1825, still nothing on 7255- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO. 27025 AM, Sept 6 at 2108, ``W in Puerto Rico``, leave
it to some CBer to prove that skip is viable, among hets from a few
others piling up on this most active channel. I have just been
bandscanning 10, 12, 15m hambands with NO phones, and not even beacons
on 28 MHz; and nothing but a weak unID bilingual on 18137 USB at 2112.
Assuming he is really in PR; also has some serial number in a CB DX
group. Meanwhile SPAIN inbooms on 17855 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN [and non]. 17855, Sept 6 at 2112, REE is S9+, despite K-index
of 4 at 2100, OSOB except for a much weaker 17600 ALGERIA. Since it`s
Tuesday no SpEnglish an hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 5, VOT extraneous German after 2300 chopped off
air at 2342* when the sloppyrator woke up; something`s always
erroneous at Emirler. Sept 6 at 2217, still no show of English into
UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE. (7730), presumed still at 0500, Sept 6, UR1 via WRMI,
`Ukraine: Security Issue` war summary in English, copied later via:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_05_09_22.mp3
with the heavily accented and fast-talking caster so played back at
0.75 speed. or even 0.5, including: does not start with date but
mentions Day 194 in passing; settlements liberated; R army lost 49,800
servicemen; U destroyed over 2000 enemy tanx, over 4500 armored
vehicles, and more than 1000 ártillery systems, over 200 jets and over
205? cruise missiles shot down. Past day R launched 25 strikes,
against both civilian and military infrastruxure. Mykolaiv shelled
with S300 missiles. R not ready for peace negotiations, only language
understood is force. Statements from Czech Republic and Germany.
Germany to aid displaced people (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 245 MCW kHz, Sept 6 at 0642 UT, FS, 400-watt ND beacon at
Falls, Sioux, SD. 293 MCW kHz, Sept 6 circa 1500 UT long after sunrise, FBY, 25-watt ND
beacon at Fairbury, second-adjacent state Nebraska. Could this
possibly arrive by groundwave? 422 km = 262 miles. Or remnant skywave
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15120, Sept 6 at 2116, S9+35 of open carrier already, VOA
Grimesland warming up for 2130 Bambara M-F, OSOB by far. What a waste?
Not unusual to be on even earlier. Also exemplifies how overseas
stations could reach deep N America with such a relay, if they cared
to; and this of course is directly off the back, forward aim being W
Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2154 monitoring: confirmed UT

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, Sept 6 at 0634, WRMI AWOL from here while still going
on 9395 at S9+10/20 but not 9955 either. 9455 still/again OFF at 2125,
while 9395 remains and weaker 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330v, Sept 6 at 1531, NO signal from WLCR/WBCQ, again. I
have run across it at various other times, but much more interesting
when it`s absent. OK, OK, I happen to notice 9330.1v is on, Sept 6 at
2126 in English, S9+20 but with splatter from 9350 WWCR, a measly only
100 kW whose rhombic achieves blasting S9+60! here, not even aimed
thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932.056, Sept 6 at 0612, NEW FREQUENCY for R. Vanuatu,
JBA music and talk vs CODAR. Therefore the fundamental 3945 which used
to double on 7890, must have shifted to 3966! May have been there for
a while since much better heard X3 on 11835 has been missing. Many tnx
to discovery by Ron Howard, who reported on the WOR iog Sept 5: ``Very nice Radio Vanuatu (7932 kHz. - 2nd harmonic) audio! -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXxMEwl0Mvs .
0558 UT (on audio 1:55-03:02): The often heard Mental Health PSA.
0601-0604 (on audio 5:00-8:00): News in Bislama; starting and ending
with the usual theme music for the news. So we should also be
listening for the 3rd harmonic on 11898 kHz. and also the 4th harmonic
at 15864 kHz. Ron, California`` Earlier replies: Don Moman, Alberta: ``just noting a faint signal on
7932.050 at 0512, music and talking under the sweeper/CODAR signal.
Wasn't there before 0500.`` Walt Salmaniw, BC: ``Don, noticing the same with weak audio from
Masset at 0525 check`` Don: ``English ad and Radio Vanuatu ID around 0600`` Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain at 0628: ``Hi Ron, thank you very much for
the timely alert, I am not in Friol or Reinante today, here in Lugo
only a weak carrier on 7932. Via SDR Kiwi remote receivers in New
Zealand good signal but nothing on 3966, neither on 11898 nor on
15864. It is possible that 7932 is the frequency in which they are
emitting and it is not a harmonic? --- Closed on 7932 at 0659. Bests
73,s`` Don: ``they were very good signal here by 0600 and for a long time
after until I tuned out.`` Back to gh myself: 11898.086, Sept 6 at 0608, JBA carrier, presumed RV
3 x 3966.03 --- this is *much* weaker than it used to be on 11835.
First I had a very slightly stronger JBA carrier on 11897.538, no idea
what, could be local birdie. After that, I made 7932.056 log. Note that 11895 is normally dominated by CRI English via EAST
TURKISTAN, std denunciation, at 05-09, but not much from that tonight,
with higher-latitude paths degraded. Nothing around 15864 either. Before seeing my 11898+ report above, Ron Howard posted: ``VANUATU.
7932, Radio Vanuatu, 0535-0659* UT Sept 6. Again being heard, but on
this new frequency; seems this must be the fundamental/primary
frequency (*not a harmonic*), as no carrier heard on 3966 nor 11898;
CODAR QRM, as also reported by others. After 0659, I couldn't find
them anywhere (2485, 3945, 5040, 7260, etc.). Here are a few
highlights (in general they played a lot of nice island music!):
0535-0544 UT: Phone interview.
0555-0600: Usual series of PSAs, commercial announcements, etc.
0600-0603: News in Bislama; unreadable.
0630-0640: Weather update for the many provinces.
0656: Advertisement for sugarcane products produced by "83 Islands
Distillery" [ https://83islands.com/ ](my brief audio attached); PSA
for vaccinations against measles. Ron, California`` Wolfgang Bueschel: ``Requests for B-22 season, daily 30 Oct-26 March
