** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Sept 10 tuning Argentine remote from 1439, nothing yet. SDR thinx I am in Amarillo TX, IP confusion? Also Gary Pence in Dallas, someone in Hamburg. LRA36 cuts on air *1454 with sufficient S6/S7 music; 1502 canned standard sign-on with 4 languages, staff list, ``Nacional, la radio publica``. 1503 Esperanza themesong. 1507 historical bit mentioning Alasca and Groenlandia. 1511 song. 1515 ID ``su compañía``, then ``live`` YL chat. One of them is out sick. Not sure of program number mentioned but should have been #20; geo coords; Base founded 17 dic 1952.
Mentions ``viernes, 9 de setiembre``, so the missing Wed 7 Sept broadcast must have been on Friday instead when I did not check for it, nor anyone? 1520 multi-platform contact info starting with phone numbers, too fast and not repeated: give us a break if you want contacts. 1521 birthday greeting to someone who has completed another year; 1523 song but chopped off air at 1524* and never comes back! Yet another transmitter failure, why? And why won`t/don`t they ever turn it back on? I wonder if it only be sporadic electrical fluid. Yes, it`s off: always a good idea to recheck the SDR in case it have been inadvertently knocked off frequency. Remotely possible they tried again circa 1800, as once publicized for Sats, but not checked until 1922, nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 9 circa 2115, no signal direct from R. Cairo; nor any at 2200 check into UTwente, rather some loud clicking from something else. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Sat Sept 10 at 1853 tune-in via Canary SDR, R. Mali, S7/S9+5, already in weekly English that I can scarcely understand, so heavy are the accents of the alternating W & M scriptreaders. Storm crashes from all over Morocco, some blaaps and running water QRM, some ACI from 5990 unless avoided. Finished 1906, French ID, music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 10 at 0646, VON is on; almost sounds like English intonation rather than Hausa, but too sleepy to concentrate. Might be something to do with EIIR*. 7255-, Sept 10 at 1853, no VON signal into Canary SDR. Not checked earlier but I suppose no English from 1630 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27185 approx., Sept. 10 at 1915 UT, undermodulated music and ``The Hawk`` ID, on SW caradio in motion in Enid; one of its memories is programmed for this CB channel. Once again, the pirate relay of 97.7 KHRK Hennessey -- only 3.9 kW ERP so needs some help? No, already blasts into nearby Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Sept 10 circa 1850 UT on caradio a few blox W of downtown Enid, open carrier vs the two weaker stations in KS and OK: not unusual to encounter such a mystery, perhaps someone`s RF feeder in a car left on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, KOPX OKC, I`m looking for NEWSY on 62-7, morning of Sept 10, but it`s ShopLC instead! Whew, lineup has been rearranged with NEWSY still there but on 62-6. The complete octostation: 62-8, HSN 62-7, ShopLC 62-6, NEWSY 62-5, TruReal 62-4, Grit 62-3, CourTV 62-2, Bounce 62-1, ION So it seems the secondary ION channel has been eliminated. I was going to notify RabbitEars about this, but they already have it; maybe it has been at least a week since I last sought NEWSY. KOPX is fortunately among the OKC stations always available thru rooftop antenna, but not my rabbitears. NEWSY, at least, is anti-cable by design. Info: https://rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=kopx DA pattern has 8 equally spaced peaks and valleys around 360 degrees: Max 200 kW, Min 108.63, Avg 140.43; 1532 feet HAAT surely helps. https://rabbitears.info/pattern.php?request=ant_pat&ant_id=25076f916adca429016ae5a4803210e6&rotation=0&erp=200 My STB remembers when it was still on RF 50 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 9 at 2200, REE token English, to NAm VG into Maryland; Justin Coe previews feature will be his interview with bluesman Corey Harris, which starts at 2214. He must have a huge archive of such stuff from his Ruta 61 show. US 61 runs up the western edge of Mississippi east of the River, into Memphis; thence crosses over to west of River in Arkansas, all the way thru Missouri, Iowa, similar to I-55 as far as St. Louis. Crosses River from Dubuque into Wisconsin at its SW corner but soon back across into Minnesota as far as Twin Cities. It originally ran thru Duluth almost to the Canadian border, outmoded by I-35 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.003, Sept 9 at 2200, VOT is on today, VG with only lite squeal, but I`m mainly listening to Spain. Missed topic of `Feeling Supreme` but followed at 2242 by `Did You Know That`, about ``Turkish Delight`` which has been around for 1600, or was it 2600 years. ``Turkish delight or lokum is a family of confections based on a gel of starch and sugar. Premium varieties consist largely of chopped dates, pistachios, hazelnuts or walnuts bound by the gel; traditional varieties are often flavored with rosewater, mastic gum, bergamot orange, or lemon.

WORLD OF RADIO 2155 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 9 at 1815.3 on IRRS SW, 7290 via BULGARIA, S9/+10 into UTwente; and // AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 AND 918 kHz but not LW 207 kHz. Maybe IRRS noticed my observation that 918 gets less QRM than 1323, so brought it back; but you never know. 918 into nearby Noale SDR at S9+22, while 1323 is generally below the CCI in German from Romania, worse than usual. Again, I monitor the whole hour: From 1755, 918 >> 1323, music of unknown origin. 1800 brief ``IRRS SW signing on`` and `Feature Story News`. As always, 7290 JIP late a bit before *1801. Guess what the only topic is, also for Spotlite segment at 1803; 1805 IRRS ID by YL still asserting totally wrong frequency 7125 long gone, plus 918 and recently added 1323; `UN News in Brief`. 1808 raucous music fill of unknown origin; 1813 `UN News in Brief` -- again? Wasn`t paying attn at 1805 whether same topix now. 1815 chop for a different IRRS plug/ID without frequencies, and WOR 2155 complete to 1844; at 1840 checked UTwente for 14580 = 2 x 7290 but not audible this time. 1844 bit of music, OM ID with Milan address; 1845 blues? music; 1848 unID DJ introduces an Irish jig, `The Cat`s Miaou`, no program name either. 7290 cuts off air already at 1855* instead of 1857. Back to 918, I find that still on but dead air, S9+22 of it. Shortly ID for AM Italia on 207 & 918 & 1323 kHz (kee-lo-hertz) by synth? YL. Never heard on 207 this hour nor for many weeks but does not mean it`s never on, tho I don`t see it reported in European MWDX clubs. `She` concludes with address info@amitalia.it, cute ESL ``Have a nice listening``; then a timecheck in Italian uncopied, music. Meanwhile on 1323 kHz the music has CCI and rumble; 1859 closing German announcement from Romania, tone. 918 remains much better as at 1901 they both play the Verdi closing theme of IRRS; yet neither MW frequency is going off the air now, and the SW is already long gone. Also confirmed Friday September 9 at 2052 the 2030 on AM Italia 1323 at S9+15 and rough; and much better 918 at S9+22, not 207. 1323 also has ACI from 1314 and less so from 1332. Both 918 & 1323 marred by storm noise from lightning right over NE Italy & vicinity. 2059 WOR finished, fragment of `Country Jamboree` opening, nexus.org ID, `Feature Story News`; 2108 song. Should anyone run across WOR on WRMI at a secret/unlisted time, such as Friday evening, do let us know: this has happened in the past.

(7489.9v), UT Sat Sept 12 at 0000, WBCQ stream with `AAAWWW` - a new one but an immediate turn-off as he starts by insulting us by equivalenting Communists = Socialists = Democrats = Biden, not necessarily in that order. Back toward the end of show he`s fishing around for the new issue of Free Radio News -- he means Weekly, not realizing that of the three rotating editors, only Harold gets it out ASAP after the UT Sat 0000 deadline; Larry is next; but it`s the following morning before Dave does it, including this week.
