** GERMANY. 9670.00, July 8 at 0146, S9+10/20 of rock music, presumably Channel 292 testing direxional antenna, much better than usual direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, July 8 at 0148, S9+20 of rock music, but no match for noise level. Several reports here of Outhouse Radio in USB after 0158, so maybe something else: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,131304.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6949.8 AM, July 8 at 0150, S9+10 of music vs noise level. These report Captain Morgan SW on 6949.7: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,131302.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.565 & 27224.881 approx., July 8 at 0138, S9 open carriers of the Enid CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 106.1, July 8 at 2024 UT, futile bandscan for Es encounters ``106-1, The Twister, #1 for new country``, i.e. KTGX Owasso = Tulsa mkt; unknown whether sibling to 101.9 KTST OKC. Can`t imagine why stations think it`s cool to name themselves for an extremely destructive force of nature. WTFDA FMDB shows a few others: in MI, NE, NE, KS, TX, every one of them Country (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA [and non]. FBI agent "Carrie" -- Havana Syndrome investigator says bar for proof was set impossibly high. Efforts continue to investigate brain injuries suffered by U.S. officials. This is the fourth 60 Minutes Havana Syndrome report and, for the first time, there's evidence of who might be responsible. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-culprit-investigation-new-evidence-60-minutes-transcript-2024-07-07/ {also 27-minute audiovideo; this is about microwave or acoustic energy} 60 Minutes Overtime --- Russian role in attack on American officials? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-in-vietnam-possible-russian-role-in-attack-on-americans-new-evidence-60-minutes/ (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE [and non]. Checking whether USAGM relay has been closed down, July 8 at 1724, the current frequencies in HFCC, into Canary SDR: NO signal on 15660 Amharic, nor 5940 English; but 15460 with SNA = Shona is on and VG. After 1730, 12070 is also on in Oromo, but 15660 is not. At 1820, no 17655 with Portuguese, but 15460 & 6045 in Shona are on. After 1830, 6180 is on in French. At 1840, 15460 and much weaker 6045 are in English, not Shona. At 1850, MW 1530 is on in French, past 1900; but there is also mostly musical CCI with slow SAH, which per MWlist has to be either Madeira or Romania. At 1930 both 6045 and 9470 are on VG in Kinyarwanda. At 2037, nothing on 4960, 9490; JBA algo else? on 9470. At 2030, 9470 is supposed to go from VOA French to Hausa and from Botswana to STP. At 2128 nothing on 11900, but *2129 JBA carrier, which would be VOA via Vatican relay in Bambara. So: some scheduled STP frequencies are on, others not, but may have been wooden/alternatives in the first place. Of course, we cannot be sure all listed SAO frequencies are really still from there, since there are no site IDs; and I`m not having any luck getting reliable TDOA hits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 8 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG S9+40/50 direct, others not checked. Preview feature to be about Festival de San Fermín which started on Saturday, a.k.a. Running of the Bulls in Pamplona - which I consider to be sheer madness/stupidity/machismo. 2201.5 news leads with French elexions impasse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.019, Sunday July 7 at 2159, VOT IS and ID, S9+40/45 into UTwente; 2200 s/on as if the 1230 broadcast, news. 2208 earliest start ever for `Letterbox`. Acknowledging reports from: Jayanta Chakroborty, New Delhi; Mohammed ---, Pakistan; John Jurasek, central Florida who does not want a QSL, just to let them know he listens, but host wants his postal address anyway to QSL - he is the VORW guy, of course, not mentioned. West Bengal, India; another from W Bengal; another another; Pak guy again; Belarus; Palermo, Italy; Belgium explains what QSL means; Jayanta C. again. 2223 Goodbye, already and song before 2226 playing the L`Box outro/intro. Then nothing but more songs until 2253 s/off as if the 1230 emanation, 6 notes of IS before 2354* chopoff, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785v, July 8 at 2158 direct, zero signal from VOT, while 11800 Romania is quite audible. 2226 check via UTwente, still zero 11785. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Should have checked possible alternate 9875 earlier but by 2255 `Jesus Saves` IS into UTwente, i.e. FEBC Manila, and no KCBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2250 monitoring: WTWW 9475, Sat July 6 at 2300: ``WoR received in lower mainland BC from WTWW started out as nothing and ended up with a fair to good signal by 2330. Before long, it will be a good signal for the entire 30 minutes -- possibly by 1 August. Tony Pavick, Hope BC`` Confirmed Sunday July 7 at 2000 on WRN Europe webcast Also confirmed Sunday July 7 at 2158 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.012 at S9+10 and 3975.004 at S8/9+ into UTwente.

Also confirmed Monday July 8 at 1930, on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.004 at S9+5/10 and 6160.001 at S9+10 into UTwente. If I tune 3 first and switch to 6, it`s the one running a few words behind. Tony Pavick suggests ``they quite possibly use two separate PCs for the programme feeds, just as Channel 292 does. `` Next: 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy [NEW]; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

It seems that wtww.us website still exists under control of Ted Randall, but with outdated info and leading to that site, claiming a ``new schedule`` of 01-04 on 5050, 04-06 on 9455 -- NOT! The WRMI skedgrid does show those two blox for Legends, but in addition: 21-22 Tue-Fri 9395, and 00-01 Mon 9455. AFAIK, the real WTWW does not have a website or streaming. Should be able to get WTWW.something other than .us. While on the WRMI skedgrid I notice some additional entries for `On the Media` from WNYC: Mon 02-03 9395, Mon 20-21 15770, Mon 21-22 9395, Tue 02-03 9395, Wed 21-22 9955, Thu 21-22 15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 91.5, July 8 at 2021 UT into caradio, KSNS Medicine Lodge KS is back on with gospel music after missing yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, July 8 at 0620, RV music S6/S7 and in the clear, no WRMI extension on 9955 as was the case last week, not just weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6931.1 AM, July 8 at 0258 music into NH remote. Nothing reported in HFU as NAm pirate. Or could it be this, frequency match?: ``SPAIN, 6931.1, Indy Radio, Seville, 1957-2011, 06-07, rock and pop songs in Spanish. 25322`` -- Manuel Méndez, Spain.

Not strong so maybe not local, as our Enidite is not on 27185/27225v right now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0248 UT July 9
