** CUBA. 6000, Aug 30 at 0311, RHC English S9+30/40 undermodulated but
readable; still no better 9700. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Aug 30 at 0316, CRI English relay is very
undermodulated but more than JBM, S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 30 at 0313, VOT English not off the air, ending
`Review of the Turkish Press`, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music,
S9+30/40 direct while // 6165 thatway is JBA. As usual on Thursdays
during WOR produxion, I missed checking the 2200 broadcast; was it
off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 353 MCW kHz, Aug 30 at 0656 UT, ND beacon LI is JBA vs HSNL,
i.e. Little Rock AR, not heard in months since winter. A sign of
gradually improving conditions. Also some other intriguing NDB
carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 17630, August 30 at 1630-1700, I`m monitoring the new
Friday-only Fulani language service of VOA, via remotes. At UTwente,
1629 no signal, *1630 carrier pops on at S9+25/35, and a few seconds
later, JIP modulation in progress, with some hum. At RSA SDR it`s VP
S5/S7. Then I attempt TDOA locating since the site is unknown and
still not in HFCC last updated Aug 21: at 1640, Brasília, Jo`burg and
Sardinia point to 33N/47E, i.e. close to KUWAIT: Kuwait City is
29.38N/47.98E. That is certainly believable. So I then check the
Kuwait SDRs: good signals S9/+15 but some fading so unseems
groundwave. 1645 another try with Maryland, Argentina, RSA: surely
extraneous showing 3N/68.5W = SE Colombia. I wanted to employ Canary
Islands but was not available until near the end, at 1655 anyway VG
S9+20/30 as would be expected. 1658 check direct just in time and it`s
a JBA carrier, so certainly not Grimesland which would have been
possible. VOA chopped in progress at 1700 to OC and off at 1700.5*. No
IS or ID at open or close, altho I do not understand much Fulani.
Others could handle it: Botswana, Madagascar, several European sites.
BTW, HFCC has 17630 registered for RMI via ISS at 1700-1800, but
nothing there. Also checked 17630 earlier at 1444, algo JBA direct
which is listed as CRI English via Mali. So what did others find by
TDOA or other monitoring? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, Aug 30 at 0323, JBA carrier; WRMI Legends is scheduled
until 0400 and registered until 0500. 5010 WRMI is OK, usual weak
signal. 5050 maybe dropped to exciter only. Nothing else in EiBi altho
Beibu Bay Radio, China is on 5050 a lot, not at midday there and would
not propagate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Aug 30 at 0321, unusually, this WWCR is OFF. Still
going on 3215 and the dirty transmitters on 5890, 5935. Something`s
nogood at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9970-9987 approx., Aug 30 at 0310, OTHR radar clickery

This report dispatched at 2057 UT August 30

** CANADA. 2749 USB, Aug 29 at 0309, YL in French, no doubt marine
weather, one of the major 2 MHz Canadian frequencies still in use, but
inaudible/noised out all summer. Now it`s still vs high storm noise
level but audible; nothing on the other, 2598 USB at the moment.

https://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
shows of the four NS CCG stations sharing 2749, the one scheduled
before 0309 is from 0240, VCS-21, Halifax, 1500 watts - but no
languages specified unlike some of the others. I wonder how uptodate
this ref be, since atop it`s dated 2020-05-13 and abottom is (C) 2020.
Latest EiBi, however shows plain old VCS Halifax in English and French
at 0240-0310! All of them are in a break between 0500 & 0740: do these
shift with DST or not? There is a CCG website of such info I have lost
track of, presumably current (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 29 at 0312, R. Progreso is OFF; something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba. 5025 Rebelde is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 29 at 0316, RHC English at S9+30/40 but sup/torted,
and still no 9700. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Following my
previous report, David E Crawford, FL, replied Aug 29 at 1512:

``I haven't heard any daytime RHC during random checks the past week
or so, at least in the 1400+ Z range, nor the return of any midday
HM01 so far. One wonders if RHC is finally on their terminal "run HF
to failure" phase, following which they become an internet-only
service. 5025 ison today, so-so modulation quality and fair signal``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2258)

** CUBA. 9790, Aug 29 at 0324, CRI relay manages to modulate in

** U S A. 5085, Aug 29 at 0313, WTWW is off already; had been heard
after 0100. Evidently current much curtailed schedule is 0100-0300 -
except on UT Saturdays I hope until 0330 to contain WORLD OF RADIO.
However, 5085 and all other frequencies OFF at 0142 check August 30.
May need to be off while working on some of transmitters (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2258)

** U S A. 5800, Aug 29 at 0313, WRMI in English with Freedom Synergy
Radio ID, the Miami-based pro-Taiwan, anti-PRC program, no jamming
audible. Guess what, when I check 9955 at 0325 it`s also // there,
S9+30/40 with better modulation than usual. Contrary to own websked:
System B at 0300 shows Prague in English and French on 9955. System H
also shows 9955 with Pragues. While WRMI-10 transmitter does have FSR
as System B on 5800! Something`s odd at Okeechobee. By 0638, 9955 is a
JBA carrier, as always weaker than 9455 & 9395 with more favorable
azimuths thisaway, but they are also VP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2258)

** U S A. 5925-5945, Aug 29 at 0315, noise field surrounding 5935 WWCR
with DGS, like I noted earlier around 9980; in addition to various
spurtones out of dirty 5935, constantly varying with modulation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9742-9760 approx., Aug 29 at 0323, OTH radar clickery. Altho
INTRUDING into broadcast bands they seem to avoid BC signals out of
own self-interest (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1110, Aug 29 at 0646 UT, `Coast to Coast AM` on KFAB Omaha
is running 5 seconds behind weaker 1100 WTAM Cleveland. I think the
delay be not always thus, so now I have something to compare with
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1160, Aug 29 at 0638 UT, take that, LDS, instead of KSL,
Christians vs Christians, dominant signal is Spanish preacher
reverbing, 0656 ID as R. María, outro program as `Reflecciones
Bíblicas`. Now there is a sesquiHz SAH = 90/minute, probably KSL
attempting to regain. Refers to radiomaria.org, lots of info there, HQ
in Roma, but no obvious station list! 0700 breaks for ID in English,
KCTO with two FM frequencies, 100.5 & 90.3? Am I correct that FCC
rules do not require legal IDs to be in English? Radio-locator.com:
``KCTO-AM also broadcasts its primary channel from these 2
transmitters
K257DZ  99.3 FM Kansas City, MO (99 watts)
K263BU 100.5 FM Kansas City, MO(250 watts)``

0702 back to Spanish for ``2 de la mañana`` timecheck and long list of
R. María stations, most/all FM. KCTO is in Cleveland MO, U4 5000/230
watts, yet overcomes U1 50/50 kW KSL. We explored this in great detail
when last logged May 27-28; see:

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING -- Guest commentary by Greg Hardison:

``It seems maybe 90% of Amerikans cannot grasp the fact that, both
Socialism and Communism are ECONOMIC, not Political entities! True,
many Communist heads-of-state have not been able to resist turning
their realms into full-blown dictatorships — which again, too many
Amerikans would be happy with (led by Guess Who - not the rock
group!), yet without the actual benefits of Socialism.

Our own limited Socialism gives us publicly maintained roads, the
Interstate Highway System (13 hours from Atlanta to the Canadian
border at Detroit), Fire Departments and other first responders —
including Ambulance crews, streetlights, gas and electricity in many
cases, the nation's finest WiFi system (in Chattanooga, Tennessee),
Medical Research including those dreaded, treacherous vaccines (so
it's better to have Polio everywhere, such as what we had 70 years
ago?), or Medical Research which developed implanted cardiac
defibrillators (greatly reducing the number of deaths due to
Ventricular Tachycardias, which otherwise cut life-expectancies down
to about fifteen minutes).

Socialism means your health care is a guaranteed right, not a
commodity or a luxury like, say, a Lamborghini. If you can't afford a
Lamborghini, then you don't buy one. In Amerika, if you can't afford
the necessary health care, some just die & move out of the way in the
process. Otherwise you have to find a way to game the system; either
way, the rich bitches just get fatter.

Under Socialism, schoolchildren have enough to eat thanks to their
local school — but in our non-Socialist "red states", free school
lunch programs are being eliminated, while the kids are fed manmade
organized religion instead. Ironically, without the Socialism produced
in tax-exemptions, many religious establishments would not even
exist.

In fact, without "Socialism", the "red states" wouldn't exist at all,
as much of their public funding is provided by tax dollars collected
and collated in the "blue states". How would they even pay for all
those postings of the King James-Christian Ten Commandments in public
classrooms? ​There, enough of that from me--but what have I left
out?``

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 28 at 0627, S9+40/45 of dead air from RHC,

``DDC Today: In Cuba, the mask is falling off
READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW August 20, 2024 OPINION

Between its loss of control, the military's disconnection from the
rest of the apparatus, and runaway corruption, it is increasingly
difficult for Castroism to conceal its decomposition.
RAFAELA CRUZ | La Habana
Image of Fidel Castro in a wet newspaper. (Diario de Cuba)

The greatest nightmare of any totalitarian regime is a loss of
control, something already evident in Cuba, now like a boat adrift
"without a rudder or a captain."

The national currency, once one of the cornerstones of state control,
today gores salaries and pensions with inflationary impiety while an
impotent Government watches the bull from the stands, knowing that it
is powerless to deal with a tumultuous foreign exchange market in the
hands of traitorous frontmen.

These actors, fattened ticks managing "private" companies with access
to infrastructure "owned by the whole people," but that only enrich
them, reveal themselves to be untouchable by the Government,
conspiring and profiting by speculating against the peso. There is no
honor among thieves...``

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 28 at 2201, NO signal direct in token English

off the back; and 15390 for Africa is still OFF too. However at 2204 I
get a JBA carrier on 17855 much weaker than 17715, maybe RNE.
Propagation seems OK, e.g. music on 17880 which would be CRI Beijing
site in Spanish. At 2222 I try UTwente: 17855.002- is JBA also weaker

** U S A. 9330, Aug 28 at 1510, NO signal direct from WBCQ with WLCR,
what`s wrong? 500 kW ought to provide at least a JBA carrier even in

or 1800v on KUCO; or daily 1730v on ``QXFM`` TX webcast. Many more
chances, and lots of stations run it more than once a day:
https://stardate.org/radio/affiliates
but I`m afraid much of that is outdated or wrong. There is no ``KCOU``
91.1 in Enid! This time not shown for WBBM. Better check each
station`s linked website, but some ignore a mere 2-minute item, if
they deign to provide anything resembling a plain old program

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;

** 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)
