** CUBA [and non]. CNN from 0000 UT Monday Sept 26, a 1-hour special on Havana Syndrome - to repeat at 0300; and UT Oct 1 at 0100:
``"Immaculate Concussion: The Truth Behind Havana Syndrome" New, 9/25/2022, News, Topical, Current Events Dr. Sanjay Gupta investigates the so-called 'Havana Syndrome', a confounding medical mystery beginning with embassy staff in Cuba before spiraling into one of the most hotly debated and poorly understood brain conditions of the age.`` Cuban officials strongly deny they have or allow on their territory any such microwave RF weapon. Other explanations are explored, but still nothing conclusive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 26 at 2151 and later, NO English signal from R. Cairo into UTwente, just that heavy clicking. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, Sept 26 at 0637, JBA carrier surely from R. Kiribati; and a stronger one on 855, probably Spain oppositely. Discussion about this from Chris Rogers, Australia: ``Hi Glenn, I have recently seen mention of attempts to hear Radio Kiribati on 846 kHz. I have just returned from a Cook Islands DXpedition where I had reception of Radio Kiribati on 1440 kHz at excellent levels. There was no sign of anything from them on 846. An email to station was simply answered with, “We are no longer on 846 Khz, we are only on 1440 Khz” with no other explanation given. Best regards, Chris Rogers, Melbourne, Australia`` ``Chris, That`s interesting. But the 1440 station at HQ is thousands of miles away in W Kiribati from 846 in E Kiribati, also two timezones apart. Finally found names that distancefromto can work with: 3290 km = 2044 statute miles = 1776 nautical miles. All circumstantial evidence points to the London station still on air. Maybe at Tarawa they don`t know what`s really going on at Kiritimati? Or same transmitter acquired by another station? Glenn`` ``Hi Glenn, I have found that information is always hard to get from these Pacific stations. However, that is what I heard back from them, and no sign of 846 from my monitoring. I suspect that if 846 kHz London is off, they are using the Ronton 93.5 txer instead? Incidentally, Radio Cook Islands dismantled their mast on the Matavera site a few years ago due to corrosion, then went to the AM standby transmitter site at Black Rock after that. Despite what the WRTVH site says, they are no longer on MW, only on FM now. Best regards, Chris`` If the 846 signal as early as 0430 audible to the north and east be not Xmas Island, whence could it be? Not many SDRs in the Pacific but maybe someone could get a TDOA fix on it? Believe I have DFed it from one angle appropriately but may try again. Beyond in the Pacific are only 4 others much farther: 2 kW in NZ; 10 kW in Canberra, 5 kW in Cairns; 2.5 kW in Carnarvon WA, per WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Sept 26 at 1509, V of Martyrs Korea, Maldives service, English not Dhivehi about Adam, Eve, and Jesus, usual amazing signal here on the other worldside, S9/+20. Possible Uzbekistan site was once proposed and still referred to, but does not fit: other Tashkent relays are nowhere near as strong here, and this one is not off-frequency either. Other guess is TAIWAN, but no fit either unless erroneously aimed thisaway. Kununurra, Australia makes more sense to me propagationally, as path is trans-equatorial, and is also used by VOM,K for other emissions, but would also be way offbeam to here. VOM,K refuses to divulge site. Still missing from HFCC unlike their simulBurmese on 11825 from KNX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 26 at 0613, VON is on, S9+10/20 but just barely modulated. Something`s always abnormal at Abuja. 7255, Sept 26 at 1753-1816+, NO VON signal into Canary SDR, just JBA TIBET almost on-frequency thru 1800 timesignal. Alternatives? 11770 with Chinese only, 9690 nothing except ACI splash (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 97.5, Sept 26 at 2124 UT on caradio, check which Okie is in at the moment, often a toss-up. Not KMOD Tulsa but ``Werewolf 97-5``, pronounced Warewolf or Wearwolf. I first reported this fuzzy name almost two sesquimonths ago on July 2, as in https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2022_0630_0705.txt Now I`m wondering if it`s an unique slogan, so search the WTFDA FM Database on Werewolf -- to find: Nothing, not even this Alva station. Turns out its listing which I quoted in my old report as off the air with ex-format, is *still* there in this otherwise excellent reference. They must not be reading my reports, posted to the WTFDA gg, which include significant updating info! Here`s a clue from FCC FM Query: ``KZLF (KPAK) OK ALVA USA FM LIC Licensee: RUNNING WOLF RADIO LLC`` Not sure why the ex-call is atop parenthetically. Radio-locator is current: ``KZLF-FM 97.5 MHz Alva, Oklahoma "Werewolf 97.5 FM" Station Format: Adult Contemporary Website: https://werewolf975.com/ Homepage shows: five personnel as werewolves, including weatherhybrid of KFOR. I also heard him with a weatherbit at 2132. Rare is the radio station in a small, or even large town with at least one staff meteorologist, so TV stations can make a lot of money on the side feeding radio stations (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15520, Sept 26 at 1505, open carrier/dead air again, S9+10/20 direct, got to be REE ME beam off the back, like Sept 25, and on weekdays supposed to program from 1500. WHem frequencies 17855 & 11940 don`t start until 1755 M-F, so nothing to compare; while the other EHem from 1500-, 11670 for Africa is JBA carrier. 15520 rechecked Sept 26 at 2227 at end of English, *still* dead air but only S2 into Maryland. Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 9830, Sept 26 at 2200-2230+, NO signal from VOT English, just a JBA from China into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [and non]. Two replies [only] to whether I should continue copying items from `Ukraine: Security Issue` as broadcast on UR1 via WRMI 7730 circa 0500 UT, but heard later from website: ``I, for one, Glenn, greatly value your Ukrainian radio daily summaries, especially as many of us don’t always have the opportunity to listen daily. Please continue! Walt Salmaniw`` ``Glenn, Please also count me as a reader/listener of your Ukraine monitoring activity. While I value all of your monitoring work, the 'Ukraine project' is especially important. Many thanks! Best wishes, Martin Potter, VE3OAT`` ``Especially in view of Putler’s threat to use nuclear weapons! Walt`` OK, so here spent more than a sesquihour catching up on past week.
