** KURDISTAN [non]. Nothing received direct in still depressed
propagation after several blackouts, so check UTwente for the
Turko/Kurdo radio war, August 9 at 1755:

17460.017, S9+5 chanting music, undermodulated, more fadey than:
17470.001, S9+5/10 music but cuts off at 1800*. Then:

17460, at 1800 both here making a fast SAH - like 16 Hz? talk vs
music. After my lunch break, at 1840: 17460, both still here, YL talk
stronger than OM shouting with music.

Now, which is which? The +17 Hz offset implies Turkey jammer, typical
for Emirler, but would expect it to be stronger than supposed
Uzbekistan site for Dengê Welat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Aug 8 at 2157, S8 open carrier from local
Enid CBer blocking the channel. Somewhat separable by tuning to
27185.6 USB, a GOB keeps talkin about walkin his dawg (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 9 at 2004 UT, dead air in $ tereo on caradio
during bandscan not expecting any DX except some MS pings. Still dead
several minutes later. Must be my nearest, KOCD Okeene, 14 kW, a real
station which relays an LP, 0.1 kW KWDW 93.9, OKC, which I can`t hear
due to KIMY Watonga, salvation in English. Yet WTFDA FMDB shows
different brandings: 101.5 R. Salvación; 93.9 R. Bautista Calvario! I
have zero interest in either so had not listened closely for which,
when KOCD manage to modulate (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 9 at 2200, token English from SNR, still
summer, so no news, but admittedly a repeat of June 30 about a
magazine, The Riveter? which deals in English with literature in
Spain`s four official languages, not just Castilian (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, August 8 at 2156, VOT IS is running, so confirmed on
at least for starters of 2200 English.

11785.009, August 9 at 2200, no signal from VOT into UTwente, but is
on late by 2202 with S9+30/40 news in English; 2210 `Review of the
Tuerkiyeish Press` about T`s key role in Ukrainian grain shipping.
2213 ``Always By Your Side`` promo, and song. 2217 `Grapping Piles`
about Earth`s axis tilting a bit more due to use of groundwater, and
sealevel rise. She never mentions the showname in the body for a
better? chance at outfiguring it. 2220 song. 2225 multi-lingual ID
filler reel. 2227 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Supring` on How to Take
Medicine - it makes a difference to the stomach whether lying on left
or right side, or standing, which is best. 2233 song. 2237 `Weekly
Commentry` read by the badax about who knows what, always ``penned``
-- ballpoint, or quill? by some academic, usually foreign. 2249
``always with you`` promo, music. 2252 s/off of 4 other English
transmissions, never this one: who cares? It`s in the middle of the
night! 2254 IS. 2256 switch to German IDs interspersed: here we go
again. 2300 timesignal about 47 seconds late, not all of which can be
due to internet delay; but cut off air by 2301*. UTwente still getting
a much weaker signal, maybe exciter turned off later as soon, nothing.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See
