** CUBA. 15140, Aug 21 at 1815, S5/S7 of dead air, in Arabic? Did not
get around to checking if Englishing after 1900. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. Re 11610, R. Feda on Madagascar World Voice: what does
Feda mean? Google will only translate it from Turkish, not Arabic, as
sacrifice; reverse translation from sacrifice to Arabic yields:
tashia. I can`t find any explanation in WRTH or online. R Feda seems
to exist separately from MWV, based in Lebanon (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9930, Aug 20 at 2329, this WTWW with TOMBS is off already,
tho had been on earlier at 2211. Now NO WTWW frequencies are on air;
nor after 0100 does 5920 appear.

George McClintock sends me this the morning of Aug 21: ``WTWW: SW100
belts --- Glenn, The SW100 Harris #3 transmitter lost 2 drive belts
that allow control of the IPA and plate motors. Spares were replaced
and are now working fine. The last SW100 problem is the error light
that stays on preventing the high voltage from being applied.  I have
not been able to correct this problem YET.`` {with photos} {2 minutes
later:} ``The IPA driver and the plate tune motor belts being
replaced. Not an easy job.
George McClintock 8-21-2024``

Circa 1830 Aug 21 he needs me to monitor as he attempts to bring
transmitter up on 9930; may not be getting accurate frequency
readouts. I get a big blob of extreme distortion circa 9790-9795,
confirmed as WTWW when he cuts modulation momentarily. Correlates with
a JBA carrier on 9475 when he is trying to come up there. Something is
very wrong with this other transmitter. But at 2130 he notifies me
that he did get ``5`` to come up, presumably 5085, so WOR could appear
as scheduled UT Saturday at 0300; but no telling what more might
happen in meantime. He says the other transmitter will be out for
maybe two weeks awaiting manufacture and shipment of replacement part
from Germany. Meanwhile he has built a backup studio at the site.
Another check about 2230 and 2355: no signals on 5085, 5920, 9475 or
9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
