** MEXICO. 6185-, Sept 2 at 0635, XEPPM in dead air, or maybe trace of modulation unless it`s crossmod. Harold Sellers, BC had it modulating as recently at 0538 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6970 USB, Sept 2 at 0228, S9+10/20 with song. These say it`s WDOG: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,133332.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Sept 2 at 0229, S9+10/20 music with CW IDs overlaying every couple minutes, tough to copy but partly DOG RADIO. It`s OLD DOG RADIO: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,133334.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.86 AM, Sept 2 at 2205, Enid pirate is back relaying 105.5 K288FX, translator of ``K-Love`` KYLV 88.9 OKC, gospel music undermodulated S9/+20, and // 27224.53 AM, JBM at S9+10. Not heard since Aug 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.405-, Sept 2 at 1609, Qur`an in Yemen service, S9+25 into UTwente, but with heavy ACI from 11940 CRI English at S9+35/45, inescapable even by LSB tuning. But no chirping or other internal noise now. So resumed offfrequenciness after switch to 11934.999 a biday ago. Wolfgang Bueschel points out that Riyadh has 9 transmitters; so these may be two different ones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday September 2 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG S9+20/50 direct, also on 17715 & 15520 but 15390 is still AWOL. Preview topic, a novel based on facts, ``Colonia Dignidad`` in southern Chile supposed to be wonderful but really a cult like a Nazi concentration camp headed by one Paul Schafer. That`s all I care to hear about that. News leads with Far Right advances in German elexions, today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sunday September 1 at 2207, VOT English not off the air, S9+60 into UTwente, as Efsun the accentuated is reading the olds. 2208 `Weekly Analysis` something about Iran and Hezbollah as I am distracted. 2215 `Letterbox` this time no song before Halil starts. He`s OK, glad it`s close to September autumn, very lovely. Again it`s painfully obvious he has not even glanced at the letters before recording. #1 is from Japan, but can`t read the handwriting for name but it`s from someone he recognizes from before, in Hiroshima where it`s rainy, hot and humid. Refers to a July 7 festival of attaching strips with wishes on bamboo branches, wants another QSL. (I`m numbering them:) #2 at 2221 from Peter Ng, Johore Bahru, Malaysia again, report of May 19. Mail is taking a long time. #3 from Spain, can`t read name, handwriting. #4 Netherlands, Al Vogels?, Dutch SWL Lima Victor. #5 from Norway, handwritten from Mr Petersa? Host can`t understand what he is writing about, questioning whether TRT has paid for rights to broadcast the music? Halil is sure they have. At 2228, #6 from India 10 July, tnx for QSL, Ahan Banin? wants promo material to distribute to 317-member club. Even if he gives the name I can only guess on the spelling, except this one: #7 from Peter Ng again, reception report of a French broadcast but since he wrote in English it did not go to French dept. #8 at 2231, ``My Man/Mate``, Alan Holder, Isle of Wight. Once had a cat. Several topix, can`t read my scribbles. Germans visit Turkey in Oct, off-season with less crowding, lower prices. Halil is renting in a building which has only two apts on each floor, not four. At 2245, #9 from Kerala, wants QSL. 2248, #10 from Massimo Marmonte?, Italy, IZ2493SWL, wants QSL. 2249 time`s up, goodbye like last week, Amen and song fill until 2252 outro. 2253 headlines by Efsun. 2255 s/off the 1230 broadcast, first notes of IS a sesquitime before chop at 2255.7*, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sept 2 at 2158, VOT not off the air, S9+10/20 direct with IS & ID, seems somewhat undermod and fadery. 2221 into UTwente when measured, S9+50/55 in `The Energy Agenda` about a deep-sea drilling ship in the Black Sea discovering lots of natural gas reserves. 2225 music. 2230 multi-lingual 2-minute ID filler reel. 2232 music. 2236 `That`s Why`, Efsun about the Caspian Sea. 2242 music. 2252 one headline about Israel/Hamas, s/off as if it`s the 1230 on 17620. 2253.7 IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs. 2300 TS and s/on German, Alten; 2312 still going. And 2323 the 2-minute multi-lingual ID filler reel including English. 2330 same theme as `That`s Why` and about Das Kaspische Meer. Usual alternating with songs like in Englisch until suddenly chopped off finally at 2347* when the op woke up. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
