** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, Apr 26 at 0630, another check direct of Ifrikya FM for English segment, as reported Apr 23 & 24 but not 25. S5/S3 in French for starters, then sounds like some Portuguese? Or am I dreaming as dozing off. Awake at 0650, now it *is* in English with IDs, closing at 0656 giving FM frequencies in Alger, Oran; 0700 5+1 timesignal a few sex late and French news. SSOB and would be the OSOB if not for a JBA carrier on 17850, i.e. RFI Issoudun. Simulmonitored by:

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) date correct, missed in previous report ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.74 approx., Apr 27 at 0100, Enid CB pirate is back relaying and //105.5 K288FX, translator of ``K-Love``, KYLV 88.9 OKC; seems in a pledge drive rather than music. AM mode but distorted. NO skip at all on 26, 27 or 28 MHz bands (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Apr 26 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG direct into portables with clipons.

Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 17690, Apr 26 until 1956, the stirring Ukrainian national anthem, immediately followed by Martí-Noticias ID; only S1/S5 direct from Grimesland, USA in very degraded propagation: K-index at 18 was five and a third; G1, R1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
