** CANADA. 14670 RC USB, July 22 at 2209, CHU timesignals back on, S9,
so I resynchronise my watch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, July 23 at 0113, S9+25 of dead air direct from RHC, or
maybe a trace of modulation? 6000 is only S7/S9 of dead air. 15230 is
S6/S7 JBM seems English? No signals on 11760 or 11950. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``Castroism caps prices to remain in power in Cuba --- The only
possible outcome when prices are capped as an anti-inflationary policy
is chronic shortages, the proliferation of the black market and,
finally, a spike in inflation.

A line at an MSME in Havana. 14ymedio

Sweat trickled down his calves, accumulating in the worn-out tennis
shoes he wore without socks; his feet, slipping around inside those
shoes, made embarrassing squeaks as he walked, drawing glances that at
another time would make him blush, but, after 45 minutes of waiting in
line, nothing mattered to him more than finally standing in front of
the clerk...``

MSME? What`s that? Never explained; we are supposed to know it.
Googling it leads to -- India?! ``Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium
Enterprises`` -- and as I added in a report a couple years ago:

```This article never explains what MSME means! I Googled it: ``Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)`` There must be quite a different
term and abbr. in original Spanish; EMPM?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 13740, July 22 at 0050, sounds like hymn,
but must not be since listed as 2300-0300 CRI Spanish via Kashgar,
land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems;
S9+10 with flutter, and the OSOB/SSOB except for 13790 ALGERIA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.86 AM, July 22 at 0042, S9+10 open carrier from
Enid CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 102.3, July 22 at 2018 UT, routine bandscan on caradio
during `dead` conditions hits something here unusual, not // 740 KRMG;
with national ads, weather ``from Classic Communications, Q-102`` i.e.
KWDQ Woodward. Tho 100/100 kW, less heard than other fullpowers there.
Or rather Q102 per WTFDA FMDB, no hyphen and could also be Q102.3. If
there were a hyphen, it could only be WVRQ-FM, Viroqua WI, but I bet
they don`t pronounce the hyphen (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715, July 21 at 2301, t/in just in time to hear IS start
after weekend s/off of SAm frequency until 2303.6*. 17855 for NAm
already off. In fact, Paul Walker says he was not hearing it at all on
Sat or Sun. I don`t pay much attention to REE on weekends since there
is no English; tho I could understand their Spanish, there aren`t
enough hours in the day and lots of it`s silly ballgames (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon July 22 at 2200, this REE frequency for NAm is
still AWOL, but token SNR English audible almost as well, S9+10/20
direct on SAm channel 17715; then 15520 offback to ME, which is
sometimes better depending on MUF; and 15390 for Africa detectable.
Preview topix: Iberian Lynx numbers have recovered to 2000, no longer
endangered, will interview Guillermo López of an organization
protecting them; and a report about some code? News 2201.6 leading
with Pres. Biden dropping out. 2219.5 contact info, then on the
Moroccan Family Code about oppression of women, called shuma? or
search leads to: ``In 2004, Morocco reformed its family code, known as
the “Moudawana.” The “Moudawana” expands women's rights and
protections in relation to marriage, divorce, child custody, and
inheritance. The new law promotes the principles of justice and
equality between men and women``. I didn`t catch what`s new about this
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785+, July 21 at 2200 and further chex, NO signal of VOT
English into UTwente; nor on previous goofs 11795, 9875. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. So we miss the weekly `Letterbox`; one
more chance, UT Monday July 22 after 0300 on 7275, 6165 --- NO, BOTH
those are OFF at 0317 & 0340 UTwente chex. Something else is even more
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.020-, July 22 at 2159, VOT English not off the air,
S9+10/20 direct but local noise level still a problem. 2218
``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2232 into UTwente when measured,
S9+25/40, multi-lingual ID filler reel, music. 2239 `That`s Why` by Ms
Badax about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 2244 music.
2249 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2254 s/off by Ms Badax as
if this were the 1230 on 17620. 2255 IS until 2255.6*.

Also: ``Voice of Turkiye Emirler station will be off air 1000-1600 UT
for engineering work on July 23 and 24, according to an announcement
on the station. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.``, WOR iog 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11880, July 22 at 0052, S9+20/30 of open carrier, preceding
the 01-02 UT KBS Spanish relay via Grimesland. Is it really necessary
to burn all those kW just to ``warm up`` a transmitter, probably more
than just 8 minutes wasted? Is KBS charged for that? They could at
least modulate it with something, like KBS IS, YDD, SSB NA or even --
VOA news in English!? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock info circa 01 UT July 22: power
outage instead of WOR July 20 at 0400: widespread tnx to TVA hydro or
nuclear failure covering much of TN. Internet was also out so he could
not remotely turn transmitter back on when power resumed. Misc. other
items: Hope to have #3 transmitter running in a sesqui- or bi-week;
current problem is lack of control card for its air conditioner. Bob
Biermann has cancer. Ted Randall was broadcasting from Lebanon
hamfest, but did not show up today, raising concerns about his health.
Harris xmtr has a loose panel which flaps when the AC is on. TOMBS
wants to get on WTWW, and probably will tho George is not happy about
Bro. Stair`s anti-Catholic and anti-papal comments.

And later an email: ``WTWW: water leak --- 9 gallons of water leaked
when a hose that was secured with a wire tie broke free. This wire tie
was placed on by the previous engineer. WTWW now has a metal 
clamp that will prevent this from happening again. We had to go and 
purchase distilled water to make up for the water loss. The #1 
transmitter did not get back on until 7 pm Central. George McClintock 
7-22-2024`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9335-9365 approx., July 22 at 2212, filthy WWCR-2 signal
with squeals and squawks if you tune either side from 9350 which is
S9+40/50. Likewise or even worse WWCR-4, 9965-9995 with TOMBS which is
S9+60 on center 9980. Other freqs of #2 are 5935, 7490, 12160; of #4,
7520, 5890. Similar problems affect 5890 & 5935, all these exacerbated
by excessive signal strength; on 85 or 90 degree azimuths, or almost
directly off the back to here. Not so much the #1 & #3 frequencies
allegedly at 46 and 40 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. July 22 at 0617+ UT, distinctive voice of a guest on `Coast
to Coast AM` about UFOs or something, audible on multiple frequencies
almost in a row, but not exactly synchronized, 980, 960, 950, 940,
930; also 850, 840, 690, 600, 580, 560, 1150. Or course there are many
more if you dig. Noticed because of an echo under local 960 KGWA; also
under 1150 KSAL KS. Showsite
https://www.coasttocoastam.com/stations/
is organized by state rather than frequency. So a few guesses from
last year`s NRC AM Log listings, based on proximity, previous log,
night power: 1150: WJBO LA, KRMS MO or WIMA OH. 980: KMBZ MO. 960:
KZIM MO or WERC AL, and BTW KGWA not shown with C2C tho is on
showsite. 950: KWOS MO. 940: KIXZ TX. 930: WTAD IL. The others should
be obvious (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1030, July 22 at 0614 UT, weather, ``NewsRadio WBZ``, really
Boston? Yes, 0615 Roxbury mentioned: gotta know your suburbs. Seldom
heard but always a pleasure as the most distant ``clear`` in the US
for me, 1485 miles, slightly further than Seattle. WBZ advantage is
direxional-west night and day to avoid serving the Atlantic and
beyond. Lite QRM in Spanish, which could be Memphis, Kansas City, or
Corpus Christi if not Mexico (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, July 22 at 0040 UT, silly sportstalk from KWKH, still
no KLEY KS. In case it matter, since they never powered down from 250
to 1 watt when operable, KLEY SS/SR times for July are 0145/1115;
August 0130/1145. And 50/50 kW KWKH pattern change times: July
0130/1115; August 0100/1145. But July 22 at 1531 UT, KLEY is back on.

At 0143-0146 UT July 23 I am monitoring 1130 on the E/W longwire. KWKH
sportstalk is already dominant, mixing with music from KLEY. Neither
to the eye on the S-meter nor to the ear to the phone is there any
change in KLEY signal when it legally has to drop from 250 to ONE
WATT; but it conveniently IDs at 0145 as ``104.1 & 1130 KLEY`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1440v, July 22 at 0624 UT and many other times, LAH = low
audible heterodyne against the 1440.00 pileup. Per
http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1440
it`s most likely KFUV Little Rock AR, nothing else in USA so far above
or below, at 1439.9678 as of 2021-04-04, i.e. 32.2 Hz off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15133-15155 approx., July 22 at 2207, OTHR clickery
again, INTRUDER altho no broadcast victims in this range now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15809 USB, July 22 at 0047, weak 2-way net, or rather
multi-way, language uncertain but unseems Spanish or English. Hardly
any broadcast signals on 19 mb. The only hits on 15809 in the UDXF iog
are in three numbers-station logs, not as a frequency. Nothing in
Klingenfuß 2022 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
