** CUBA. 9955, 9560-9570, Oct 4 at 0626, jamming against nothings;
also 7435, 7335 and more so 6030, Oct 4 at 0630. Electrical fluid is
scarce, but first things first! At 0632, NO broadcasts on 5025, 5040,
6000, 6060, 6100, 6165 nor of course any leapfrog mixing products.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Oct 4 at 1447, RHC is back, S9+10 and no spurs; also
11760 S8/S9; 15140 S9 but undermodulated, suptorted; 15230 S9 just
barely modulated; at 1453, 9710, S4/S7 undermodulated. If sites remain
same as in EiBi & Aoki, these account for all three: 9710 Bejucal,
15230 Quivicán, in between, all Bauta (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Oct 4 at 2147, R. Cairo, English extremely
distorted at S9+35 into UTwente. Doubly incredible: that they can`t or
won`t fix it; and yet don`t just leave the transmitter off, which is
doing far more harm than good this way (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 4 at 0634, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati.
Nothing else on 9/kHz splits, any lingering TAs propped out. Gary
Pence, KM5X, reports: ``Hi Glenn, I checked 846 at 0445z, not on yet;
checked again 0525z, it`s on now. At NH6XO`` [Hawai`i remote] (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Oct 4 at 0629, no signal direct from VON. At
1735, no signal into Spain SDR, just JBA on-frequency carrier from
Tibet. 1819 not even that, nothing at all except storm noise over
northern Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Oct 4 at 1445, PN, 25-watt ND beacon at
PoNca City, reactivated, as my loudest near-local signal, moreso even
than 341 EI, EnId. PN was first noted OFF as of August 23. It`s had
similar outages before, always coming back, so far (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Oct 4 at 2030, REE manages to modulate the ME
transmitter for the fourth day in a row, stupid ballgame provoking
irrational enthusiasm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 4 at 2201, still no signal into UTwente other
than JBA China. Cuts on at *2208, JIP news, with horrible squeal,
autonotch not helping much, but bandwidth too narrow at 2.61 kHz
escapes it, but not also some hum. I shall not listen any further.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE. `Ukraine: Security Issue` notes from web if not via WRMI:

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_30_09_22.mp3
For 30 Sept, including: shelling casualties in Zap region convoy at
checkpoint. 52 buses burned down. R hit city with tornado? systems.
Intel director estimates very hi possibility of R using tactical nuxe
along frontline. U needs more defensive weapons. Hi levels of
intimidation from R next few weeks should speed up delivery of
weapons to U. And blowing up pipeline, blackmailing Eu to raise
stakes. Min of Defense on U giving nuxe to R years ago. Brit official
visited U secretly. U encircling R troops near Lyman. R spent $ 100K on
anti-U propaganda, more than 50 fake websites. Mark Hamill of Star
Wars became ambassador to raise funds.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_01_10_22.mp3
For 1 October, including: civilian convoy of cars in Kharkiv region,
20 people killed. Humanitarian convoy in Zap. region also hit, 30
killed. U submitted application for accelerated accession to NATO,
signed by Pres Z. Peace restored only by expelling occupiers. U leads
in negotiation efforts. Impossible with this R pres, need another one.
Joining NATO might not take place till after war. Hope application
help speed up arms delivery. As soon as R loses, all hesitant
countries will be first to vote for U to join NATO. Approx. 5500 R
servicemen surrounded somewhere. Pres P will not gain anything,
according to American experts, by nuclear attack. Would be his last
argument, fatal for aggressor. U would have right to attack across all
of Russia if nuxe used. P wants to freeze U in winter by cutting off
gas. Occupiers detained head of Zap NPP, took him somewhere, fate
unknown. RusAtom should release the director-general immediately. Pres
Z included among favorites for Nobel Peace Prize, among bookies.
Another is David Attenborough, TBA Oct 7 in Oslo. Art collexions to
foreign museums.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_02_10_22.mp3
For 2 October, including: City of Lyman liberated. P`s troops
retreating. 9 C&E European countries back U sovereignty, U and Georgia
should become members of NATO eventually. Appeal to join already
processed. Call on NATO for active deterrence of R. U conducting
negotiations on join NATO since May after Sweden and Finland, to
forestall a future R retry. Safety zone around Zap NPP discussed. R
told IAEA that Dir-Gen of Zap NPP temporarily detained. Was kidnapped
for refusing to follow orders. In Kherson region, R abducted married
couple Sept 25, whereabouts unknown, for refusing to vote in pseudo
referendum. 412 U kids died from invasion, more than 784 injured,
figures are not final and keep growing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Oct 4 at 0648 UT, FBY, my most reliable
2nd-adjacent-state LW beacon, FairBurY, Nebraska, mixing with another
starting with T-, but too much overlap QRM, i.e. TOR, TORrington,
Wyoming, which I have also heard before. Another 293, UI, qUIncy,
Illinois, not reheard lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday October 4 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, reactivated a few hours ago,
S9+10 into Maryland SDR, some rapid clicking QRM. At 0046 check
direct, also S9+10 somewhat undermodulated.

** U S A. 5950, Oct 4 at 1455, no signal direct from WRMI-8, but
shortly confirmed on, via Georgia SDR. 9395, WRMI-6, at 1455, S3/S5
direct with BS, the only two back on so far. 9395 is dispensable 03-22
UT when nothing but BS or SMTV, variety programming 22-03.

From FB circa 19 UT Oct 4: ``It's been very slow-going in the antenna
field today. Trucks are getting stuck in the mud, and we have to buy
special tires to get them back into the field. We will probably not
have any more frequencies back on the air today (Tuesday), but
hopefully by tomorrow. 5950 and 9395 are still on 24 hours, and our
Internet stream as well. Several of the programs on WRMI have done
interviews with us about the situation, and we appreciate them helping
to let the audience know what's going on. Today we did interviews in
English and Spanish for RAE Argentina to the world, and in English for
Radio Slovakia International. Thanks to our hard-working staff,
including Pat Travers, Don Frish and Scott Marcy who have been working
in the field today`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 4 at 0628, RV is S5/S7, strange-sounding voices
like in a cartoon, distorted. Ivo Ivanov and Gary Pence confirm usual
