** CHINA. 21800, Aug 27 at 0251, Chinese at S6/S9 and the OSOB, CNR1
jammer against Sound of Hope. Also many unID but probably Asian
sigs/carriers on 17 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA [and non]. 28433 USB, Aug 27 at 2212, TI2JJP, José,
calling CQ DX Asia/Pacific. Quickly making contacts JBA here including
Louisiana. QRZ.com: ``TI2JJP Costa Rica flag Costa Rica, QSL Mgr
EA7FTR, ING. JOSE "TI9JJP" PASTORA, QSL Manager EA7FTR, PO Box
2048-2050 SAN PEDRO MONTES OCA, Costa Rica, QSL: QSL MANAGER EA7FTR``
-- hmm, wonder if he have a QSL manager? No 10m beacons, but also a
Brazilian on 28400 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 891 & 889 kHz, Aug 27 at 0253, JBA carriers hetting 890 with
WLS and LA mixture presumably Cuban and also source of spurs. Should
Algeria 891 fundamental also be in there, I never hear any beat so
would have to be on exactly same frequency as Cuba. No 9/kHz carriers
now in full bandscan vs HSNL. Recheck at 0636: still both 889 & 891
detectable. Spurs sourced to Cuba are just an assumption, one of two
890 stations there, but could be elsewhere in Carib/LAm or even US?
Need to triangulate them or something more certain (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 27 at 0634, S9+25/30 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde, as more often than not at late-night. Is no one paying
attention at station? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Earlier
at 0530 same date, Wolfgang Bueschel reported ``wonderful audio
quality`` on 5024.994 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15230, Aug 27 at 2206, RHC Portuguese not off the
air, S9/+10 but somewhat sup/torted; not noted on any other frequency
now. Something`s always wrong at RHC. There is a sig on 11760 at 2217,
S9+10 with flutter, sounds like Chinese music. O, per EiBi it`s CRI
``Portuguese`` via site x = Xi`an? at 22-23 which of course is nothing
but fill music for years; like via Cuba on 13650 at 23-24, not checked
lately. Commies vs Commies! Almost (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Aug 27 at 0638 UT, and still past 0700, local KCRC
Enid in dead air again; and so is sibling station 1640 KZLS, but
someother talking station is audible underthat, anything but Biloxi
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Aug 27 at 0332, MWV, S9+20 English discussion of
how WCB has LPFM in Greenland? and SW stations. This is service to
India, but VG signal here despite way off the side of beam; antipodal
and trans-equatorial advantage ruling (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.411, Aug 27 at 1626, Qur`an at S9+10/20 into
UTwente; no chirping or other disruptions now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 26 at 2201, token English from SNR, VG
S9+20/30 direct starting news. Also audible on 17715, 15520, but no
signal on fourth frequency 15390 for Africa. Something`s not right at
Noblejas. Feature after 2210 is interview about photography and
exhibitions of such (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Aug 27 at 1517, REE only frequency on, for ME, as
15390 for Africa has been absent since Aug 25; and the other two,
17715 & 17855 do not start until 1800 on weekdays. Something`s
notright at Noblejas. 1958, 2203 chex: still no 15390 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 21270 USB, Aug 26 at 2209, EA2K, José in southern
Spain making quick contacts among many phone signals, pileups on
``15`` m, apparently some contest. QRZ.com: ``EA2K Spain flag Spain,
Jose Ignacio "Jose", CADRETE (ZARAGOZA), Spain``. A few minutes
earlier had a deep Argentine on 28445 USB, no beacons on 10; never
phones but some digitals around 24900 on 12. Almost as if voice have
been banned on this band like `30` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 26 at 2200, JBA carrier direct, presumably VOT
attempting to come up, but not even that at 2210 recheck, nor later in
hour into UTwente, nor 9875 nor 11795 previous errors. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. Meanwhile Romania had a good signal
direct on 11800; why don`t I listen to that?

However, the final VOT English repeat is not off the air, UT Aug 27 at
0336 on 7275 with the inimitable tones of Efsun, S9+20/30 including
HSNL on NAm frequency, JBA on 6165 to SAs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Aug 27 at 2158, VOT English not off the air, IS
and IDs, S9+20/30 direct and sufficient. Olds leads with latest? Gaza
casualty toll; and TRT cameraman injured in Gaza. 2231 into UTwente
when measured, S9+50 as Efsun the accentuated is reading a Weekly
Commentary - or is it Analysis? What`s the diff? 2240 outro/intro as
the former, music. 2245 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`, Tawas? charred
yogurt, made from sheep milk and carmelized. 2247 multi-lingual ID
filler reel. 2250 music. 2253 s/off ignoring SW, something`s always
awry at Ankara, IS. 2256 restart IS but off 2256.5* before Germanizing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non?]. 17630, Tue Aug 27 at 1630, no signal yet into
UTwente. VOA has a new Fulani language service for Africa, allegedly
weekly on Fridays at 1630-1700 via unknown site; subject of much news
and discussion in the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2257 monitoring: confirmed Monday
August 26 from 1931 the 1930v on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001-,
S9+10/20 and 3975.002, S9+10/15 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday August 27 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/20
direct but JBA in HSNL = high storm noise level, extending from SE NM
to NW TX, W OK & KS, SC NE.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 27 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S6/S9 direct,
not preceded by any ToH ID; no jamming audible.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 27 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia,
1322.994 kHz, S9+20 into UTwente across Europe. But 2003-2005 faded
way down to S9+10, power cut? Audiblizing Iranquran? underneath. No
more of that by 2020, offtime. Next:

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;

** U S A. 5085, Aug 27 at 0328, WTWW is off already; it had been on
earlier tonight circa one sesquihour earlier check (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9955, UT Tue Aug 27 at 0645, WRMI with Israeli? music
instead of mis-scheduled RFI Spanish relay, featuring accordion, soon
switch to ukulele, song maybe in Arabic? Apparently part of their
music filler loops. 0659.5 ID and 0700 into Polish Radio External
Service out of WRN in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1370, Aug 27 at 0637 UT tuneby in bandscan, ``KWIQ`` --
easiest DX ID ever? No, the real KWIQ is on 1020 in Moses Lake,
Washington, with ESPN. Maybe mentioned on that net? But no ESPN
correlation on 1370. O well (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11550, Aug 27 at 0331, RTTY warbling atop a broadcaster,
talk and music, totalling S9+10/20 direct. Probably Kurdo/Turco radio
war at the edge of variable range for Dengê Gel via ARMENIA and
Erdoğan jammer, but which don`t start until 0400 per EiBi (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15169-15191, Aug 27 at 2205, OTH radar clickery, typical
22-kHz bandwidth, not strong and no broadcasters hit but could bother
Inconfidência, Brasil if active on 15190+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
