** CUBA. 631.0 kHz, August 5 at 0630 UT, het very close to 1 kHz against 630 stations. Trouble is, this is not a TA/TP frequency, as the 9-kHz plan coincides with the 10- on 630. Must be something off-frequency. Terry Krueger, FL, reported: ``631 CUBA Radio Progreso, Camagüey, Camagüey 0940 6/9/24 Presumed. As discovered by Mark Connelly in early May, this one continues and very strong with no audio here (and nothing on 629 kc/s -- though audio from 630 is fine). I believe David Crawford pulled tiny Progreso audio out of it recently. Points central/eastern Cuba from here. If so, this is the only Prog on the channel. Something is always wrong in, well you know.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 5 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+30 direct and the other three much weaker but detectable, preview topic about a social media fad to over-expose yourself to the Sun as beneficial, which it certainly is not. Did not catch the name of this nonsense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004, Sunday August 4 at 2200, VOT English S9+40/50 into UTwente. S/on as the 1230 on 17620 and news, or rather olds, by the heavily accented Ms. Efsun Duri Ergeler, and some sports until 2215, `Weekly Analysis` by some professor about Turkey/Syria relations. 2222 `Letterbox` introduced by Halil Íbrahim Sarıkaya. Says he would like to go on holiday with his family, but he adopted two Anatolian cats from the street a few years ago; besides it`s too hot to go east or south of Ankara on his motorcycle. Then goes thru letters, mostly regulars from India, and more than one each but in jumbled order, mostly just wanting QSLs, some from W Bengal. Also Howard Barnett?, Northampton, England who is still waiting for a previous QSL. Craig Tyson, Perth, Australia, and again and again = thrice wanting QSLs only. The person from ``Letonia`` again. 2236, time`s up, address, ``goodbye, my lovely dear listeners, goodbye`` and 2237 music fill before `L`box` outro at 2243, then more music. 2249 headlines. 2252 s/off and IS to 2253*. Last 10 minutes or so is fading down noticeably (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug 4 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, S9+30 direct including high noise level, unlistenable. 2224 into UTwente when measured, S9+45/50 in music. 2226 `That`s Why` with Ms. Efsun Duri Ergeler ``(Ms. Badax)`` introducing herself, about a trick question, which is heavier, a kilo of iron or a kilo or cotton? i.e., explaining relations among weight, gravity and mass. 2232 music. 2237 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2239 music. 2254 s/off ignoring SW, IS. 2256 restart IS with IDs in German. 2300 s/on German, Alten to 2304* chop. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2254 monitoring: confirmed Sunday August 4 at 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.002 at S7/S9 and 6160.000 JBA S6/S7 into UTwente during degraded propagation. Also confirmed Sunday August 4 at 2351 the 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+10/20 into Georgia SDR.

I detect a pattern here: a Monday thing, while otherdays stays on past 0700 or all-night. It was also off on Mondays July 29, 22, 15, 8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 5 at 0641, KLEY ID for 104.1 & 1130, exactly when I tune across, under KWKH sportstalk. The cheatery continues. Obviously cannot be only one watt as licensed for night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1240.2, Aug 5 at 0640 UT, het against 1240.0 graveyard pileup. Probably KCRT Trinidad CO, as IDed long ago, but would be nice if someone close enough in the daytime could measure it. Carrier wobbles a bit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9178-9220 approx., Aug 5 at 0645, multi-carrier ute making tones beating against each other, rather strong when northerlies are suppressed like 9330. What is this? Similarthings upshow elsewhere on utebands, e.g. circa 17450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING NOW, HERE’S HOW WE DO IT: 93 Days to a Better World This Is the First Item I’m Placing in Your 2024 Election Toolkit.
