** ALGERIA. 17600, Oct 30 at 1450 direct, and at 1907, 2033 into UTwente, NO signal from Ifrikya FM, which is HFCC registered at 0700-0100! Others do report it in their mornings after 0700, but when does it really stop?
``An English segment was heard today, 30 October, at 0753 on 15160 and 17600. Called "Living Legends" (or perhaps "Living Legends Never Dies"), this episode was talking about a woman (couldn't catch the name) involved in the conflict between Algeria and France from the 1830s. Also today, 30 October, from 1030 to 1045 (and still on 15160 and 17600) was a studio "roundtable-style" discussion in English about the "digital landscape" (encompassing education, social affairs and social media), with a short musical break midway through the discussion. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` in the WOR iog; and: I heard them yesterday (29 October) on 17600 kHz (didn’t check 15160) with a talk in English at 0743 about the Afar people and their cultural heritage. Difficult to follow at times due to the presenter’s accent. Reggae music followed up until the news in French at 0800. 73’s Tony Rogers, Birmingham, UK`` in the BDXC-news iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [non]. 13820, Oct 30 at 1448, S9/+20 of open carrier as Grimesland is warming up for R. Martí at 1500-2100, always B-season frequency instead of 13605 A-season. No jamming audible yet on either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [non]. 7290.002, Oct 30 at *1857, IRRS `Milano` via ROMANIA or BULGARIA on with tone, then dead air, S9+10/15, 1900 s/on as ``7285`` and into anti-abortion gospel huxter. So now it *is* announcing wrong frequency. QRM situation: until 1857, 7290 is CRI; from 1857, 7295 is CRI, with heavy ACI to IRRS now on 7290, while nothing is on 7285 or 7280 = so IRRS should have stayed on 7285! if it`s going to be at 19-20 UT instead of 18-19 in A-season, which we expected and is now shown on NEXUS/IBA sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 800, Oct 30 at 0658, still heavy distorted QRM from XEERG, NL, to nearby KQCV OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690 & 12030, Wed Oct 30 at 2318 check, NO TOKEN ENGLISH, SFR still in Spanish instead, both fairly audible direct, probably about the flash-flooding disaster. Both VG into UTwente and JBA on 17715, 17755. As I reported, NO frequencies were on air when English should have appeared Monday Oct 28 after 2300. But, earlier Wed: ``An English podcast has now been uploaded (on 29 Oct for the UT Mon 28 Oct programme). Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` Here it be with subject: https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/english-language-broadcast/world-menopause-day-raising-awareness-of-womens-health/16307489/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004-, Oct 30 at 2318, strong signal direct on indoor antenna during OK thunderstorm, must be VOT back after absent two days. Yes, into UTwente at 2322 when measured, English at S9+25/35; 2332 starts `The Middle East and Turkey`. 2340 music. 2344 `Sports Panorama`. 2352 s/off as if 13635 at 1330-1430 --- something`s always awry at Ankara, and IS: now I can hear some CCCCCCI underneath, which would be PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom cultural genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. 2356 restart VOT IS with German IDs twice a minute. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Off at 2358* uncovering Urumqi, mentioning ``Wulumushi`` multiple times, frequency/relay listing? Briefly this seems to have CCI of IS from some religious broadcaster, but nothing else scheduled starting or stopping now. 0000 into CNR1 relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 11810, Oct 30 at 0645, S6/S9 English about Cameroon: it`s BBC via ASCENSION this hour only.
