** CUBA. 11760, Sat August 5 at 1948, RHC in English jazz show, S7/S9,
not supposed to be on this frequency, but a fortunate mistake(?) since
proper 15140 is *much* weaker about S1 JBA. At 1958.7*, 11760 cuts off
mid-music; and then I find 15140 also off. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 6 at 0105, undermodulated in HSNL, can`t be
positive it`s English; also with dirty spurs about 2.6 kHz plus and
minus. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Aug 6 at 0115, quite a mess here, mixture of at least
two audios but seems only one carrier. One is Spanish about Cuba; the
other would be from some other RHC program, like 6000? English? Cannot
make a positive match due to awfulness of both frequencies. Definitely
not // 5025. The RHC clash with Romania will not be until 0200.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, August 5 at 0635, NO signal from VON direct, unlike
the now reliable neighbor Vanuatu 7260. Is VON totally inactive? Seems
last time I logged it was July 9 at 0649; it was typically carrier
only or poorly modulated. I tune past here virtually every night
before 0700. It used to be active also local evenings, reliably
uppicked by Canary Islands SDR, but which no longer exists. August 5
at 1605 I check the two Kiwis in Africa, Kenya and RSA -- nothing, but
their quality is questionable. Nor one in Spain. UTwente? It does lock
onto an inaudible 7254.999, which could be Tibet or S Korea per HFCC.
For longtime, VON had been on 7255- if anywhere, not 11770 or 9690 or
15120 DRM, its other original spots (Glen Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 17735, August 5 at 1946, JBA carrier direct. It`s a
brand-new target service. LOB in Brasil got this advance notice to
us:

``From Yoruba Nation Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/Yorubanationradiotv?mibextid=ZbWKwL
"On the 5th of August 2023, Yoruba Nation Shortwave Radio will start
Broadcasting live. Share this page with Yoruba citizens both Home and
Diaspora.Listen to us every, Saturday and Sunday from 20.00pm to
21.00pm Nigeria time on (Shortwave Radio) Frequency 17735 kHz SW.
Also, listen to our online Radio 24/7."``

I then find it already in HFCC but claiming on day 3 only = Tuesday:
``17735 1900 2000 46SE WOF 250 170 0 618 3 010823 291023 D 17690 Yor G
ENC ENC 4928`` --- That`s the Woofferton UK site. Others confirm it
better than I can on Sat Aug 5. I`m dodging lightning storms around
Enid, mostly can`t even internet remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1920 kHz, Aug 5 at 1952 UT, second harmonic of 960 local
KGWA is JBA: have not noticed this in a long time. Third harmonic 2880
used to be better but inaudible now tho there is a lot of storm noise
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Aug 5 at 1947, local S9 CB dead air is off
again; but no skip audible here or elsewhere on 27 MHz (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.9, on caradio Aug 4 at 2040 UT, JBA fringe signal from
``The Edge``, i.e. the 200-watt K225BN translator of the HD2 of KOMA
92.5, OKC, where no one listens to it. What a silly branding, edge of
what, alluding to HD2? On 92.9 one never knows which fringer will
dominate in Enid, this with a bit of tropo, or KBEZ Tulsa, equally
stupid branding, ``The Drive`` -- of what? 100 kW without any boost.
Not to be outdone, the 92.9 in Kansas, Osage City, KMXN, if not really
MeXicaN, calls itself ``The Bull`` -- no bull! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 98.5 August 6 at 0049 tuning past one of
countless gospel huxters, but I pause as there is some fine music,
variations on ``A Mighty Fortress`` by a piano-pounder and full
orchestra. No outroduxion about the performance. This is K253BC, Enid
translator of KLVV 88.7 Ponca City, which came in well enough direct,
but was sacrificed for another gospel huxter translator (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

91.5, the gospel huxter here, KSNS Medicine Lodge KS, I have noticed
playing some soft jazz at times, such as UT Sunday August 6 at 0052 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 102.3, August 5 at 1933 UT, DJs Kristin sp? and Mike
bantering, so not KRMG Tulsa? No, it is talker KRMG, maybe
infomercial, no discs, since // 740, or rather 10 sex delayed after
740. But why? This proves that AM is still primary no matter how much
they push FM first. Many other Tulsa market signals are enhanced
during stormy weather while it`s safe to tune at least on the caradio.
Later suffered a ~6 hour Optimum cable & internet outage (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 103.5, August 5 at 1936 UT, ``Power 103.5`` ad for Arvest
Bank, an Okie-only biz? No, out of AR into MOKSOK, a Walton thing.
Only such non-ID belongs to KVSP Anadarko, rimshooter into OKC market,
not so much Enid (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9870, August 6 at 0118, LV de Turquiye ID in Spanish,
S8/9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2202 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, UT Saturday August 5 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/20 direct.

Also confirmed Saturday August 5 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

Not confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, at 2010 UT August 5 into nearby
SDR, rather ham news. Unable to check earlier due to storms, but hope
it already ran from nominal 1930 or earlier.

Confirmed UT Sunday August 6 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 direct vs
HSNL, with 14-second QRM blast to start.

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 6 at 0322, about 23 minutes into, so
started early circa 0259. Next:

** U S A. 4840, August 6 at 0102, this WWCR at S9+20/30 but JBM, tsk2
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 98.3, August 5 at 1928 UT, still dead air from KQZQ Kiowa KS
- note, in my Aug 4 log reversed the call as ``KZQZ``. Wait! It`s not
completely dead but just barely modulated, still in mono. Must turn up
caradio volume to max to hear it at less than ideal level; 1942, ``My
Country 98-3``, as they too avoid tongue-twister legal call. No
mention of Scott Becker. Still same at 0046 August 6 but now with ACI
from 98.1 OKC station, sounds like overmodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 106.5, August 5 at 1937 UT. ``Radio Lobo, 106.5`` ID in
Spanish after ad in English. Neighbor to another SS, the only one
normally audible, KTUZ 106.7 OKC. This one is:
