** BRAZIL. 15189.89 approx., Sept 19 at 2353, JBA S2/S3 Portuguese, obviously the always off-frequency and always very weak only ZY left active on 19m, R. Inconfidência, Belo Horizonte (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 18 at 0632, this RHC English is unusually still on, along with 6100, 6165; but 6060, 5040 are off. Each night, each hour, a different random combination? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Sept 19 at 2347, RHC S7/S9 but JBM barely recognizable as English, with big hum. NOT // 5040 as scheduled this hour only, well modulated, loud music, Spanish // 11760 etc. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 19 at 2129, NO signal from R. Cairo, English into UTwente. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INTERNATIONAL ATMOSPHERE [non]. News of hurricane Fiona hitting PR, blacking out entire island, leads me to the Hurricane Watch Net on 14325 USB, via Boca Ratón FL SDR, Sept 18 at 2043, current NCS W2NNU. Apparently changes NCS each hour? At 2100 it`s K5WAN declaring that this is a ``directed net`, i.e., follow the orders of the NCS. Reads latest warnings from National Hurricane Center in Miami: seemingly repeating every few minutes, or maybe with slight updating. Too much else is going on Sunday afternoons for me to render this my undivided attention. Periodically calls for anyone from PR or vicinity to check in but never heard any. Is that a positive or negative result? Glad SDR has squelch, never needed for broadcast monitoring. 2205, partial NCS call as --WCN. 2306 fluent but slightly accented Spanish versions of NHC notices. Not much heard later, maybe net QSY to 40m by 0000? 7268 LSB, not checked. Call-area numbers no longer mean anything: W2NNU USA flag USA JAMES W W WILMERDING 816 Highway 51 South NE Brookhaven, MS 39601 USA Lots of info about his background: https://www.qrz.com/db/W2NNU K5WAN USA flag USA Wendell A Neal 90 Church St., Apartment A Covington, GA 30014 USA https://www.qrz.com/db/K5WAN Says he is former storm tracker for KOTV 6 Tulsa Next day, Mon Sept 19 by 2330, no activity on 14325 despite Fiona still churning from DR to T&C; how about HWN on 7268-LSB? Very active at 2340, but some other net as if they own the frequency, ``3905 Century Club`` ``for WAS and DX records``. NCS ending in -GWS taking numerous check-ins and greets them by handle; net not formally starting until 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 19 at 0626, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati, resumed Monday after silent Sunday. Shows what only 10 kW on MW can accomplish over 4500 miles, if only on a clear frequency, audible just about every night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 19 at 0641, again NO signal from VON, but not totally inactive: 7254.933, Sept 19 at 1730 into Canary SDR, signature offset VON carrier is on at S7/9+5, but mostly squeal with trace of unreadable programodulation, and 2ACI from much stronger 7265, CRI Russian via Urumqi, East Turkistan, std denunciation, 1732 with horse clip/clop SFX in dramatic narration, maybe about Mongols conquering Europe? Watch out. 7255- totally off by 1743 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 9700, Sept 18 at 2356, RRI IS S7/9+10 into Boca FL SDR until 2357.6*, so presumably my unID OC, 48+ hours ago, concluding RRI Spanish hour via Tsiganeshti. People keep misspelling it ``Tiganesti`` without the necessary diacritix for which I substitute fonetikaly thus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday Sept 19 at 2200, token English from REE. News with Amy, too much sports with Hélena; 2211 Justin introduces a 15-minute book-launching talk in 2020y by Carissa Véliz of Prihvacy is Power, as in: https://www.carissaveliz.com/books VG into Maryland SDR and other three also audible, 15520, 11940, 11670 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.007, Sept 19 at 2223, VOT English, VG S9+45 into UTwente only a very light squeal, amid `Feeling Supreme` with teas to drink countering diabetic insulin resistance. After some music, 2353 std s/off with schedule, a bit of IS to 2355*, no extra German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, Sept 19 at 0500, WRMI starts UR1 relay as usual but all UU talk, no English `Ukraine: Security Issue` by when I quit at 0513, as latest editions also missing from podcasts. But Richard Langley replies at 1427 UT Sept 19: ``It is there now. As far as the airing on WRMI is concerned, I didn't do my usual Sunday evening recording of 7730 kHz as I'm in Denver this week for a conference, so have no confirmation if it aired then. However, I automatically record Radio Baltic Waves International on 1386 kHz each evening at midnight UTC using the U. Twente SDR receiver and my UNB desktop computer. "Ukraine: security issue" started at about 00:13 UTC today (19 September). It was the same edition as that on the website for 18 September.`` So maybe started on WRMI just as I gave up.

Is Romania still on? If not, that leaves Iran or Tanzania, even later into their nights. OR among the total 1360 kW from Chinas. Not on 918, where it should have been, with no QRM. Trace of algo talk on LW 207, probably not me, Iceland or mix? 2037 recheck, familiar theme and `Counterspin` starting, a show which deserves explicit regular scheduling. WOR 2156 also confirmed UT Monday September 19 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+15 into Boca Ratón SDR I already have running for HWN. I would expect it to be in the awkward skip zone from most Okeechobees.
