** AUSTRALIA. 9323 USB, Aug 28 at 0648, some kind of net here just far
enough from 9330 WBCQ/WLCR for that not to be a problem. NCS seems to
be called ``2199``, S3/S4 stronger than various checkins; accent
sounds Oz. ``What`s your destination?``,``Member 33385[?]``. Place
mentioned sounds like Tuwumba: aha, there is a Toowoomba in
Queensland! ``Good afternoon`` at 0654* and apparently closed. This
reminds me of some Outback caravan/travel club in Australia made up of
citizens, not military or official at all. Aha2, searching UDXF on
9323 gets these:
https://groups.io/g/UDXF/topic/87988270#102480
i.e. 10 frequencies, including #: ``6 9323 kHz Bases - Casino and
Kununurra``, i.e.:
Austravel Safety Net, VMD750, promoting HF radio contactness,

Much more info here including frequency lists:

There is another unrelated one with different frequencies, VKS-737
Radio Network, Serving Remote Travellers since 1993:

I am unaware of anything similar in North America where we are not so
sparse and remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, Aug 28 at 2120, R. Cairo is S9+20/40 into UTwente,
distorted and JBM in English with humwhine, perceptible with all
volumes at max, something about the 1953? revolution. Somewhat
comprehensible by concentrating, but we shouldn`t have to put up with
all these obstacles. Something`s egregious in Egypt. 2124, ``Radio
Cairo presents`` algo, mixed with even more distorted music. Goodbye
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6200 AM, Aug 28 at 0638, Japanese song at S7, presumed
pirate Hikari FM, signal improved. BTW, why include ``FM`` in name of
a station on AM/SW? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 101.5, Aug 28 at 1951 UT, JBA song in Spanish
on caradio, so maybe KOCD Okeene have resumed modulation? No, soon ad
in English for United Internet in SW Kansas, Liberal ad, mentions
103.9? No KSpanish listed there: must have been ``93.9`` which bears
KZRD Dodge City, 100 kW ``La Mexicana`` per WTFDA FM DB.

And 101.5 is: KSMM, 100 kW ``La Mexicana`` in Liberal, allegedly relay
of: KMML 92.9 but 101.5 still Remarked as: ``Silent 4/28/22; xmtr
failure``. ! But there is no 92.9 called KMML! The only 92.9 KS is
KMXN, 42 kW in Osage City, not ``MeXicaN`` as it may have been
previously, but Country, ``The Bull``! KMML calls instead apply to
102.1, 40 kW ``La Mexicana`` in Cimarrón KS.

What a mess!! I logged and pointed out this anomaly several weeks ago,
but WTFDA still has not cleared it up. Liberal is 281 km = 173 stmi
away, so really fringe. Cimarrón is strategically located about
halfway between the Cities Dodge and Garden. Not to be confused with
the Cimarrón in NM; I don`t find a C-town in OK but names the
westernmost county at the end of Nomansland. Liberal is right on the
OK Panhandle border, but radio-locator shows 101.5 site is definitely
in KS, ENE of Liberal.

But what about KOCD? As I drive down the road a bit, lose Liberal and
there`s the dead air in $ tereo dominant from Okeene, as it has been
since at least August 9. Cursory chex on Aug 26 & 27 had not heard it
so wondered if off completely (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 28 at 2200, token English from REE/SNR is VG
S9+10/20 direct, again co-hostessed by Amy Egan & Marilýn [finally get
to use ASCII 0253, tentatively] Quintana. Feature topic is about
recipes and food (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11784.998, Aug 27 at 2217, VOT English not off the air
today, VG S9+45/50 into UTwente, also with good modulation; historic
talk about something 252 years ago, sounds like the YL voice I refer
to as ``badax`` = with bad accent, but more comprehensible than usual;
maybe she is trying harder to improve her dixion. 2223 Analysis? I
heard before about Turkish/Syrian relations. 2256 oh2, IS still on air
interspersed with German IDs, and 2300 opening German with distortion.
I let it run in background until I notice at 2333 that it`s off, maybe
slightly earlier. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 28 at 2225, VOT English is S9+10/20 direct like
SPAIN, q.v., but with more choppy fading, during music; 2227 `Feeling
Supreme/The Healing Spring` about anemia, which foods are good to
lessen it: citrus, beans, sunflower seeds, beet root, etc. Recheck in
time to hear closing IS for a bit until 2255.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2205 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
August 27 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/20 into
nearby SDR but with CCI making fast SAH, presumably Brighton, England;
also at 2000 on WRN webcast of Euro service.

NOT confirmed Sun Aug 27 at 2000 for the third week in a row despite
appearing on WRMI sked as webcast only; rather, choral gospelish
music.

Confirmed UT Monday August 28 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA direct with
HSNL.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 28 from 0259.6 on Area 51 via WBCQ

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW; NOT Aug 22]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB
1030 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB [previous #2204]
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.325, Aug 28 at 0623, gospel huxter talk in English
at S7, improved from last night`s JBA carrier when it was on about
7300.09; fluxuates, a few minutes earlier more like 7300.313. I`m back
on it before 0700 for possible ID but sermon now S9 continues past
0702, and now about 7300.444V. Far-Christian buzzwords give it away,
but whence? Spaceline Bulgaria is very fond of ``even`` ---00
frequencies and of course propagates TOMBS, registered available in
fact per HFCC with unknown client on 7300 at 0200-0600, 100 kW at 110
degrees: but never? so far off-frequency; not // 5850 WRMI TOMBS but
would not be synchronized anyway. HFCC has several at other times on
7300, Beijing, Kashgar, Woofferton. No other clues in Aoki but EiBi
also has Taiwan at other times, banned by China from HFCC. Nor in
latest WRTH Updater V.19 dated 24 August. Someone more awake than I
might try to ID or TDOA this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
