** CUBA. 4765, July 24 at 0251, R. Progreso is S9+5 but just barely
modulated; while 5025 R. Rebelde is S9+30 with good mod now. But by
0645, 5025 air is dead at S9+30/40, as often the case late at night.
Something`s always wrong at Radiocuba. RReb is certainly 24h on
numerous MW outlets, perhaps with more reliable modulation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185-, July 24 at 0652-0715, XEPPM folk music with flute &
guitar, no ToH ID break unless I dozed off. Hard to find any pleasant
music on SW, vs talk and/or too weak signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 28228 CW, July 24 at 2204, EEEEEEE DE ZL3TEN, only
signal on band, OSOB, really gets out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15390, July 24 at 1910, checking UTwente for REE activity.
All three on except 17855 which has been missing several days, but
15390 dumps off air at 1915 and still off at 1924. 17715 and 15520
remain, so not an overall power failure. By 2200 token English on Wed, 15390 is back on at S9/+10 and 17855 is
still off, while 15520 and 17715 are about equally sufficient S9+10/20
direct. Wonder if the SAm beam on 17715 has been skewed a bit
clockwise to serve us better, splitting the difference? 2201 already
in news, about fishing boat sinking. 2212 feature about the decline of
the movie video rental business (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.009, July 24 at 2200, VOT not off the air
but JBA carrier direct, much weaker than neighbor ROMANIA 11800. By
2227 into UTwente when measured, S9+30/40 as Ms Badax is concluding
some talk. 2233 TRTVOTWorld promo, music. 2237 `The Middle East and
Turkey`, expectations for normalization of relations with Syria, by
some ``expert``, music. 2246 `Sports Panorama` by Ms Badax, probably
about Olympix, music. 2253 s/off ignoring SW. 2254 IS. 2256 restart IS
with German IDs. 2300 timesig and s/on German with satellite
parameters, altes until chop at 2305.5*. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2252 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
July 23 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S7/S9 into Peoria SDR; missed checking
SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975; anyone hear it? Confirmed Wednesday July 24 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
3975.004-, S9/+10 into UTwente but 6160 is OFF, as notified earlier
July 23: ``6160 kHz off due to lightning damage the couple of days ---
Hi Glenn, WOR will not be audible on 6160 kHz the next couple of days
as a lightning strike seems to have hit our antenna and the
transmitter at aprox 1636 UT today. Lightning maps show there was a
strike some 500 meters away from site. On site cam shows no major
damage, however 6160 tx has tripped out. We are on vacation in France.
Hope to solve problem as soon as possible. 3975 kHz is running okay.
I'll let you know about further developments. Thanks for your shows.
Andy (Engineer, Shortwave Radio from Winsen at the River Aller)`` - we
hope there be no serious damage! Also confirmed Wednesday July 24 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -67 Hz =
7489.933, S5/S7 into Maryland SDR. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160 [if on again]. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this
week to Tony Pavick, Hope BC, Canada, for a contribution via PayPal to

P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, July 24 at 0645, WMLK on a good night, S9+25 SSOB,
surpassing 15770 WRMI, and little else. Presumably it`s DEJOM
preaching. On other occasions, 15150 a JBA carrier if at all. The ``program guide`` at https://wmlkradio.com/outreach/program-guide/
is so tiny that it`s hardly legible at max plusment, but appears to be
an affiliate list of mostly low-power FMs, and TV stations, not a
schedule of programs - well, they may well have only one. It seems that their publication in English, French, Spanish, has added
Swahili, which might be a clue as to their priorities:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1650 kHz, July 24 at 0635 UT, I finally compare the KSVE El
Paso tone pitch to my keyboard: G# or Aflat. This chart shows that
should be 415.305 Hz if A = 440.000 exactly:
https://doctormix.com/blog/note-to-frequency-chart/
On the radios we had it closer to 420 Hz; margin of error? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN. 25700, July 24 at 1428, JBA carrier direct until 1429.5*,
BBC Hausa as sked 1400-1430* M-F per EiBi. I have yet to detect even
that much from the only other 11m broadcasts, both low-powered, 25800
Denmark, 25900 Russia; nor 25900 Madagascar which is too early (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 8906 USB, July 24 at 0503, selcall tones and
intermittent barely audible contacts with aircraft. EiBi shows this is
for the North Atlantic route, could be Gander, New York, Shannon or
Azores. Klingenfuß 2022 adds Canary, Suriname, Trinidad (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING Bye-bye, Bibi, bye-bye:
