** CHINA [and non]. 21490, Aug 22 at 1503, S5/S8 of dead air with flutter until 1505*, surprise SSOB vs JBA carrier 21550 Algeria. Must be CNR1 jammer overrun past 1500 vs Sound of Hope per Aoki. Wonder if short path from East Turkistan site, rather than from further east short path across nightside. On 21 MHz, skip distance to provide jamming disservice across populous east China, a west ``China`` site would make sense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 15610, Aug 22 at 1459 weak signal with W&M chat, English? Wondering if WEWN has resumed morning as well as afternoon emissions. But chopped off air at 1500* mid-chat. Might be CRI from format except for no program break at hourtop. Aoki shows VOA Kurdish via BOTSWANA at 1400-1500. Wait, there is still a JBA carrier after 1500: CNR1 jammer and SOH before and after then also on 15610 per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Aug 22 at 2150, R. Cairo, strong but extremely distorted in presumed English into UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 24, Aug 22 at 1529 UT, no signal from KOKH Fox ``25`` OKC. Normally ``local`` quality. Is back on at next check 1800 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 25, Aug 22 at 1430 UT, KWTV ``9`` OKC is on the air but instead of local `News9` hour, is relaying sister station from Tulsa, `News on 6` KOTV, with apologetic crawler. Evidently KWTV`s studio produxion is out of order (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.003, Aug 22 at 2200, VOT English, huge S9+50/55 into UTwente, slightly distorted in talk; s/on and news. 2210 `Review of the Turkish Press` about TRNC et al. 2212 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2214 music, now extremely distorted. 2222 `Weekly Commentary` also distorted and as always voiced by the badax. Something`s awry at Ankara. ``Penned`` by some PhD candidate in Washington DC, about China and/or something. I give up on that. Recheck 2252, s/off, 2253 IS distorted slightly more than once before chopoff; no finesse, and: something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2204 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday August 22 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/40 direct. NOT confirmed Tuesday August 22 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, a new addition to the WRMI skedgrid!

Must be WMLK PA which sometimes has a big solid signal. Now maybe backscatter in prop disturbance (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 11500-11518, Aug 22 at 0652, strange whine; pitch changes with each 1-kHz step but does not center at one spot (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2304 UT August 22
