** CUBA [and non]. 870 at 0650 UT and 1040 at 0652 Sept 6, same whooper sounds QRMing WWL and WHO, thought to be malfunxioning Cuban transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Sept 6 at 0305, S9+30/40 of dead air from RHC; and 15230, at 0306, S9/+10 not quite DA but JBM suptorted music, and NOT // 6000 which has begun barely modulating in English with hum. I guess 15230 on Spanish program feed. Still no 9700 or any other frequency found. Somethings always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Sept 6 at 0629, R. Rebelde is totally off, rather than dead air usually by this hour. 4765 R. Progreso remains totally unheard even before its nominal 0400*. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, Sept 6 at 1445, S4/S6 of dead air no doubt from RHC, no other signals anywhere from 9 to 17 MHz bands, not even 11760 or 15140. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT [non?]. 9440, Sept 6 at 2205, JBA carrier direct so can`t be sure where Cairo or BBC via Philippines this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, Sept 6 at 0634, XEPPM S9+25/35 of dead air or trace of mod? Yet again, just when I would like to drift off by their nice music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NICARAGUA. 28365 USB, Sept 6 at 2207, CQDX from YN9H as in Honolulu, soon working a US N+ station. Quick scan hit no 10m beacons so had to settle for phone, among a few other signals. QRZ.com: ``YN9H Nicaragua flag Nicaragua, Henry Arauz Ubeda, Sacramento, Jinotega, JI 65000, Nicaragua. QSL: ONLY via QSL MANAGER EA5GL`` Long ago, an aunt was confused as I tried to explain that a word like that was merely a fonetik not a station location (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 6 at 0309, JBA carrier from presumed Hikari FM pirate, Mexico. Gary Pence has managed to pull some musicaudio from this via California remote. No signal here at 1448 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 341 MCW kHz, Sept 6 at 0259, and still 1450 UT, no signal from EnId`s least-known radio station, ND beacon EI, at Woodring Airport. Had been reliable for many weeks and not logged. Even tho a few km away, it was never a local bigsig, but not even a trace of carrier now. This has happened before, but eventually resumed. Noise level always a LW problem, but I still can at least JB hear 255 SW Stillwater, 515 PN Ponca City and some Kansans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15390 & 15520, Fri Sept 6 at 2158, half the REE frequencies are still OFF, a semiservice, leaving 17715; & best 17855 for N America still on for 2200 token English, S9+30/40 direct. 2201 news leads with shakeup in governmental financial officials; and new PM finally named in France. 2211 feature interview about editing Wikipedia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785+, Sept 6 at 2159 & 2200, no signal direct from VOT English; *2200.4 carrier on at S8/S9 but no mod.

Sisi`s first visit to Turkey, and Istanbul is Europe`s busiest airport. 2216 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo and `Weekly Analysis` on improving cooperation with Egypt following Sisi`s visit to Ankara. 2223 music. 2233 I`ve switched to UTwente at S9+50, ending `Turkish Folk Tales`, music. 2236 `That`s Why` as always voiced by Efsun the accentuated, on misconceptions about something, music. 2253 s/off ignoring SW, IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs until chop 2259.8* just in time. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 332 MCW kHz, Sept 6 at 1450 UT, NDB IC, wIChita KS is JBA. For so nearby and powerful at 400 watts, it`s always incredibly weak and hard to reconfirm. And I have yet to hear any sign of QT, 1000 watts from Thunder Bay, in normal winter night conditions stronger than IC. Is it still on air? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 17629.989, Sept 6 at 1628, I`m standing by via UTwente for new weekly VOA Fulani semihour.

By MO or check on a US bank in US funds to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com ** U S A. 9930, Sept 6 at 2210, WTWW with TOMBS, but 9475 with SFAW is OFF. By 2338 recheck, both are on, so expect 5920 and 5085 later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, Sept 6 at 0635, this WRMI reactivated, S9+15/20 of TOMBS, slightly stronger than 9395, S9+5/15 of SMTV in - German, why not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pre-check of WBCQs before `AAAWWW`, Sept 6 at 2345 into NH SDR: 3265 and 5130 off. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929, S9+5/10 TOMBS. 7490 -72 Hz = 7489.928 with FKB. 2359 FKB gets the one-minute warning to wrap up and does on 7490-; dead air, bit of extraneous rock/soul music, deadair. UT Sat Sept 7 at 0001 finally `Wm Tell Overture` theme. Now 5130 -74 Hz = 5129.926 is also on //, not 3265. It`s new, remarx over theme ``get those gears going`` and ``beaming not streaming`` -- really? 7490 is also streaming tho unchecked. ``Live`` from Studio 9, which means Allan is back home in Deland of Fla, and finally with Angela in view rather than on phone. Says has been shooting short videos of WBCQ and putting on X - which I cannot view without compromise. It`s too hot and too much rain. Worried about plastic pollution: each American consumes a credit card`s worth of plastic each week. 0024 about EVs, audio replacing radio, referring to Radio World articles. 0040 says simulcasting on 7490 and 5130 but no datestamp; 5130 has been fixed, it and 3265 are available for major airtime purchases, and some time on 7490. Rest mostly political about ``stolen`` elexion - Angela will never be convinced otherwise; ``Communist Democrats`; Harris a ``clown``. USA will be ruined if she`s elected rather than Trump: they are still totally delusional. Just switch the candidates and parties to get them back to reality, fat chance (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5890, Sept 6 at 0303, S9+30/40 of dead air from this WWCR but still surrounded by a noisy field 5875/5905 or so. This also means that there is modulation from 5935 TUN/PMS only on leapfrog mixing product 5980 at S9+10. Something`s nonsensical at Nashville. This particular hour is not TOMBS unlike all the others (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1110, Sept 6 at 0654, C2CAM on KFAB now running 31 seconds behind same on 1040 WHO; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 4940, Sept 6 at 0628, hymn? music at S7/S8 from Onda Corta 4940 station. Sometimes on air overnight, usually not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10020 USB, Sept 6 at 0638, 2-way in tonal language, almost musical-sounding. Nothing in Klingenfuß 2022y on this exact frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 12195 AM, Sept 6 at 0310, S9/+10 again of open carrier. Also at 0642 S6/S9, stronger than hardly any broadcast signal on the 25 mb (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15648.83 USB, Sept 6 at 2221, 2-way in colloquial Spanish, whistling, and think I heard ``madre`` mentioned, as in short for ``puta madre`` a staple interjexion of lowclass ops (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0227 September 7
