** CUBA. 5025, Sept 24 at 0700, R. Rebelde not dead air but children`s chorus, not anthem, and JBA // on MW 1620. Something`s not always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 9790, Sept 24 at 0651, S9/+20 dead air but trace of modulation: surely CRI relay transmitter until 0500 failed to turn off, blowing away RFI in French at 0600-0700, which is normally audible without the Cublock. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. 6000 also still on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Sept 24 at 0657, S9+15/25 of dead air as RHC has failed to turn off transmitter earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC. See also 9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 24 at 2220 check direct, VOT English not off the air. Into UTwente at 2247 when measured, S9+45/50 ending `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`, music. 2252 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2253 s/off the 1230 on 17620. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2253 IS briefly to 2253.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday September 24 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/30 but noisy direct, after ``Everglades`` ID. 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; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. As a non-commercial service, voluntary financial support appreciated. Thanks this week for a generous seasonal contribution for autumn from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, by check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9475 WTWW: George McClintock replied to my report of spurs at 0315 Sept 24: ``Glenn, I had very bad transmitter problems. Just got 5085 on just a few hours ago. #1 transmitter also has problems. 2 transmitters off air at the same time. George McClintock 9-23-2024``. 9475 was off again Sept 24 at 2220 check, but on at 2307 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1060, Sept 24 at 0703 UT, traffic report mentioning Delaware, weather, must be 50 kW KYW Philadelphia atop the channel; yes, then into ``final hour of Sports Philadelphia``. Not often heard; day and night patterns with NW/SE lobes and supposedly null thisaway! per NRC Pattern Book. Radio-locator https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KYW&service=AM is similar but not a deep notch hereto. 1070, Sept 24 at 0705 UT, traffic report on the 101 freeway, Hollywood, got to be ND 50 kW KNX Los Ángeles. Neat to be getting coast-to-coast MW simultaneously on adjacent frequencies with 1060 KYW Philadelphia. Total apartness 3843 km = 2388 miles. Still that annoying LAH = low audible heterodyne from always off-frequency KFTI Wichita. MWoffsets shows it 22 Hz low (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, Sept 24 at 0709 UT, KLEY ID immediately upon tunein, Wellington KS mixing with KWKH, which obviously doesn`t care about its protracted violation with 250 watt day power instead of 1 watt nights, which means we can`t call it a ``daytimer``, strictly speaking. 1 watt at night not even covers its country, let alone rimshotting Wichita: https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KLEY&service=AM&h=N&z=o but slightly pulled in SSEward as if ``protecting`` KWKH also in daytime. And KLEY certainly not trying to hide itself. Not that I really care vs stupid sportstalk; except for following the rules (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1550, Sept 24 at 1913 UT, ``The Bluegrass Express`` slogan confirmed as listed for KKLE Winfield KS. Mobile at Great Salt Plains NWR, NW of Enid. Is sibling station of 1130 KLEY. 1400, Sept 24 at 1914 UT, ``Your Country, KEYE`` is the dominant 1400 station at midday on caradio, visiting artesia near Great Salt Plains OK. Perryton TX, in the NE Panhandle, not one I could get on groundwave back in Enid. I used to have some relatives there; it was tornadoed June 15, 2023 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 12195, Sept 24 at 0655, still mystery open carrier, S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2316 UT September 24 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
