** ASCENSION. 12025-12030-12035, Aug 11 at 2348, DRM noise S8/S9
direct, what`s this? O, EiBi has it, C M Obrecht`s music hour special
from Switzerland, this date only at 23-24 for Brasil. Didn`t have it
on my own calendar or I might have tried a remote to decode it. Others
who did get a DRM display claiming it`s KTWR in Japanese! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIZUELA. Re: ``4940, Aug 10 at 0645, NO signal from the 4940
gospel huxter. Had been very reliable all-nighter. At this time do
have JBA carriers from 4985 Brasil, 4885 Brasil, 4810 Perú (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)`` -- Ron Howard replies: ``Hi Glenn - To tell you the truth, I thought they recently changed
their schedule, as I have noted them off the air a number of times
when I scan by 4940 during the night (0700+ UT). Ron (California)`` I seldom monitor after 0700; assumed anything on as late as 1 am local
would stay all night, but seems not in this case. Also: Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Aug 10 at 2101: ``4940, no audio, no
carrier yesterday and today in the early morning here in Reinante, NW
of Spain. Confirmed out of the air via Bonaire SDR Kiwi remote receiver``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11950, Aug 11 at 2348 S8/9+10 of dead air from RHC `Mesa
Redonda` channel, and //6000 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, Aug 11 at 2349, RHC Spanish, music, is suptorted/JBM,
S9+10 with perpetual parasites on 11840 & 11860 at S3/S5. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. The Other Side: ``Cuban socialists no longer believe in Marx... but they can't let him
go. A deputy minister of Economy and Planning in the regime recently
stated that companies lack a figure functioning as an owner...

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT [and non]. 9440, Aug 11 at 2139, R. Cairo, S9+25/35 into
UTwente, whine, crackle, distortion; despite earlier reports that it
was sounding better, but not now. Synch first displays 9440.000, then
9439.994+. Sounds like there are two carriers, but maybe the defective
Abis have two peaks. 21-22 is supposed to be a pause between CRI until
21 and BBC from 22 on 9440. Heard some Qur`aning for a while, it`s the
Fribbath after all, violating Separation of Mosque and State. English
sked until 2245, but by 2150 I notice it`s off, probably a few minutes
earlier. At *2158 new carrier on with tone, weaker S8/S9 on 9440.003,
presumably BBC via Philippines as now sked. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INDIA. 15050, Aug 11 at 2352, S Asian song, S5/S9 with heavy
flutter. Akashvani in Mandarin via Bengaluru is at 2345-0115, but no
ChiCom jamming audible! To be followed by 0130-0230 Indonesian per
EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 11 at 2025 & 2049 chex on caradio, weak
deadair, no doubt still KOCD Okeene, Spanish religion, as first noted
2 days ago! I bet has been dead ever since, not checked yesterday -
yet another station so out of it that does not care, or does not know
that its modulation has failed -- also speaks volumes about their
listener/fans? if no one alerted HQ immediately (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Another tropo enhancement eastward from Enid, August 11
at 0525 UT: besides numerous BAD signals on ``open`` channels,
decoding:
RF 21, KHBS Fort Smith AR, site in OK! with 40/29 bug in lower right
corner along with sibling station KHOG-TV ``29`` Fayetteville AR on RF
15 invisible here;
RF 28, ION ``44``, KTPX-TV Okmulgee
RF 20, KQCW ``19`` Muskogee
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, VG into Maryland SDR, Fri Aug 11 at 2202, token
English from SNR, with a mailbag bit from someone in Romania, inviting
correspondence to english@rtve.es 2203, news! It`s back after almost 3
weeks admittedly and their first chance to report on the July 23
elexion - but the results are still unclear. There will be another one
on Aug 17? or at least that is when parliament reconvenes. Several
world news items too, but they can hardly catch up with two
sesquiweeks missed. 2208 about a ``painter of light`` in Valencia,
Joaquín Sorolla - search him out but beware that all the images that
show up are not necessarily his. 2215 about various fiestas around
Spain, not necessarily at this time of year, 2224 one in Canary
Islands; 2225 ``burial of the sardine`` but I missed where. Most
hosted by two YL voices, outro as the familiar Amy Egan and the other
someone Quintana. Also heard an unfamiliar OM voice with a canned ID.
Other frequencies unchecked except on the waterfall I could also see a
trace on 17715 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 11 after 2200, VOT English is not off the
air today but first semihour I`m celebrating SPAIN back in business
after summer reruns. S9+40/45 into UTwente, heavy modulation. 2237
``Always by your side promo``, and `Did You Know That?` about a
natural wonder on the Black Sea coast, but I give up trying to
understand the badax. Her canned sign-off and one note of IS before
chopoffair at 2254* - no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at
