** CHINA. 13920, 13530, 13020, 15920, Sept 1 at 1418-1422, CNR1
jammers // in Chinese talk. 13530 strongest. But not on 14920. All in
Aoki as Sound of Hope frequencies: how many more list-loggers will
think they had SOH itself, ignoring the * which means jammed, always
far more likely to be heard; log SOH only if you can rule out CNR1!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11955, Sept 1 at 1427, S6/S9 open carrier with flutter,
something about to sign on? NO, cuts off at 1430* sharp. Aoki & EiBi
show it was CRI in Indonesian via Kunming at 1330-1430; preceded by an
hour of Malay; and Tagalog/Filipino from 1130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 1 at 0638, R. Rebelde is back on after missing a
few nights, ID. Ron Howard says that at 1022, RR was weak enough that
Quillabamba, Perú, could be heard mixing. And David Crawford, FL,
replies to my previous report:

``Rebelde 5025 was first noted back on here at 2230 31 AUG Z check.
4765 was noted active simultaneously with 5025 at check at 0200 Z 1
SEP, so there are still two good 60 m txs and antennas at Bauta``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9600, Sept 1 at 0439, RHC Spanish ID in passing, S7 and not
on 9700; others have reported this anomaly a couple times before. Now
we wonder if it be intentional. Something` always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK. 5970, Sept 1 at 0440, rock music at S5/S7 vs HSNL into NH
SDR: faded by 0517, but then still S9 into UTwente: certainly not WEWN
or China as only others sked now. Checking since Nino Marabello had
reported Aug 31 that it was WEWN, i.e. reactivating its nighttime
Spanish frequency; I mentioned on WOR 2206 before a chance to
deconfirm that, and now he has corrected his report: ``Here are the
following correct log: 5970 31/8 0445 Radio 208, DK-Hvidovre Px dan
25522. 73 da N. Marabello, QTH Treviso, Italy`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17450, Sept 1 at 1423, JBA signal here, probably
Dengê Welat via Uzbekistan and/or Turkish jammer. Nothing now on
higher channels below 17500. Aoki includes DW on 17450 but at
1040-1155 only, with specific other times for 17455, 17460, 17470,
17475, 17480, 17485. Spans maybe as monitored once, but I don`t think
we can rely on such precise jumparound skeds. EiBi shows them all with
a span of 0300-2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, Sept 1 at 0625, dead air from XEPPM. Unfortunately
not unusual late at night, no one paying attention? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Sept 1 at 2341-2349+, S7/S9 of `Stayin`
Alive`, classic rock, OPOB. Many more logs here as unID, but several
heard ``Zeeky talking``:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.468 AM, Sept 1 at 1435, S9+10 steady dead air from
local CBer, rather than relaying an FM station. No skip at all now on
10 or 11m.

27184.48 approx. AM, Sept 1 at 2332, S9 open carrier still/again here.
Now there is some QRM and lots of skip on 11m CB, still nothing on 10m
ham (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, random times afternoon of Sept 1 on caradio,
cannot be sure KOCD Okeene even be on air, let alone any $ tereo
deadair. Briefly heard some commercial-sounding Spanish, presumably
the Liberal KS fringer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11745, Sept 1 at 1425, Arabic mentioning Arabiya
Saudiya, the `AFRTS` service, S9/+10, best overseas signal on band;
also correlating:

[and non] 11860, Sept 1 at 1426, roar from the defective Sa`udi
transmitter for Republic of Yemen Radio program, mixing with R. Martí
and adding to the Cuban jamming of same (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 1 at 2200, token English from SFR, VG
S9+20/25 into Maryland SDR; almost as good on 17715 & 15520, inferior
on squealy 11670. Top news item about price increases of olive oil in
past year, up 38%, but Extra Virgin OO up 227%, leading to a crime
wave. 2206 feature is Justin Coe visiting and interviewing in a
striking building about authors` & composers` compensation, abbr`d
ASGAY? Inside is an exhibition about Spanish rock bands. Not that I
care about this subject, but back to it at 2220 after trying to put up
with the distortion on VOT. I try to google correct spelling; asgay
gets sidetracked to gay stuff; asgaii comes up as a possibility but
then that`s sidetracked to Did You Mean ASCII! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sept 1 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, VG
S9+35/45 into UTwente but distorted overmodulation, especially
horrible during musical themes; 2212 multi-lingual ID filler reel.
2214 `Weekly Commentary` about Wagner following the crash in Russia.
Rehash of same story and speculation heard countless times before
elsewhere. 2219 music: I can`t stand it any more, back to Spain.
Obviously at TRT no one is listening to their own SW output and there
is no such thing as quality control. Something`s always awry at
Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Sept 1 circa 0300, still NO signal from WTWW. Last
time I axually heard it was April 1! Since then was expected to resume
as George McClintock was working on repairs and possible reactivation.
Had not heard from him in some time, so I asked for an update August
31. Very brief reply arrived too late to mention on WOR 2206:

``21 acres will be sold in about 2 or 3 months as commercial property.
The new owner will make a decision on the station's future. George
McClintock, 8-31-2023`` --- Once final we`ll be very interested to

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300v, Sept 1, long monitoring via UTwente and later
direct, 0330, 0558, 0622, no signal from the American gospel huxter
heard a number of times but not on every night (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7305, Sept 1 at 0330-0400+, NO signal into UTwente
except some RTTY warbling nearby; unlike last night when unID
broadcaster was here. Probably DHA UAE site testing, registered as
Farsi at 0330-0430.

EiBi shows the only existing 0330-0430 possibilities on other
frequencies are: R. Liberty in Pashto via Thailand and Germany; R.
Tamazuj via Vatican & Madagascar for Sudan South; and VOA
Kirundi/Kinyarwanda via São Tomé and Botswana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0117 UT September 2

** ALGERIA. 9470, Aug 31 at 0352, S7/S9 of JBM yelling, no doubt
Ifrikya FM as scheduled 0300-0600 via Béchar. Something`s awful in
Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 31 at 0334, R. Progreso is S9+15/25, but very
undermodulated music and mumbling. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba.

5025, Aug 31 at 0339, R. Rebelde is still off, as it had been before?
Idalia. Ron Howard says also silent from first check 0608 to last
check 0820. David Crawford, FL, replies:

``5025 Rebelde remains off as of 0230 31 AUG Z. The last time this
happened, when 5025 was taken down by TC Ian in Sept 2022, the 4765 tx
and/or antenna at Bauta were hijacked away from Progreso for a few
months and repurposed for Rebelde. I'm curious to see if it happens
again. Ian was a lot stronger than Idalia, so presumably less damage
resulted this time. In the meantime, 4765 is operating normally, at
least in the relative Cuban radio sense`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 31 at 0339, RHC ``English`` with trace of
modulation, S9+20/30. Also JBM are ``Spanish`` on 9535, 15230.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 31 at 0341, Turkish music S9+20/25 direct very
distorted. So this VOT English to NAm hour is no better than the 22
one I more conveniently monitor. BUT:

9770, Aug 31 at 0354, TRT Turkish service playing the ``old version``
interval signal, ~26 distinct notes on xylo?phone; great to hear it
again and I recommend these few minutes, with Burasi - IDs in Turkish;
0355.5 choral/martial NA which they never play on external languages;
0356.5 s/on, having to pronounce www as if in English! and into more
nice Turkish music. S9+25/35, VG signal and modulation and I bet it`s
aimed thisaway: yes, HFCC shows 500 kW, 310 degrees at 0400-0600 to
Eu, same beam as for ENAm. While the 7275 at 0300 is at 325 degrees,

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 30 at 0025, R. Rebelde is again/still OFF. David
Crawford replies early UT Aug 30 to previous reports:

``The movies are Cubavisión TV audio, aka TeleCV, a domestic channel.
Not to be confused with Cubavisión Internacional, aka CVI, which is a
separate channel. There have been lots of recent, totally random CV
audio relays in place of RHC SPN and also in place of Rebelde on
5025.

There are also some unlisted, irregular, evening Rebelde FM relays on
RHC SPN freqs -- 11950 2200+ Z from Bauta is a good freq and time to
check.

RHC SPN showed up on unlisted, strong 9600 from Bauta at 0200 Z on 26
AUG, gone at 0305 Z recheck, not heard since.

RHC was completely off the air along with 5025 this local morning,
1300+ 29 AUG Z, undoubtedly for the passage of tropical cyclone
Idalia. It's all back as of 0030 30 AUG Z.

One further data point, 5025 is NOT back tonight yet as of 0145 Z,
Quillabamba is there weakly instead w/ SPN preacher. David E.
Crawford, Indian River City, Florida``

Even my large-scale atlas does not show any I.R.C., but county of same
name is NE of Okeechobee on the east coast between Melbourne and Fort
Pierce, well away from hurricane path. No, mapquest finds it further
north near or part of Titusville on US1 east of Orlando. Googlemap
claims wind and rain there at 1704 UT Aug 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Aug 30 at 2327, matching spurs peaking about 2.3 kHz
plus/minus out of RHC transmitter, and further messiness especially on
low side out to 11740. This time I am not attributing it to 11780
Brasil transmitter. Tuned directly to 11760 it sounds squealy.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11860, Aug 30 at 2324, S7/S9 humroar, no program

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2205 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday August 29 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/20 into Missouri SDR.

NOT confirmed Tuesday August 29 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, rather sounds
like World Music fill before and after the ToH ID. I`ve informed Jeff

not happening. He says they won`t start until later in Sept. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 29 at 0643, R. Vanuatu continues to provide a
good signal every night, but this time it`s wobbly as if beat from
another station on slightly different frequency; but I decide it`s due
to unstable ionosphere, as WRMI 7780 is similarly heard, but not 7730
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300+, Aug 29 circa 0300, I start running UTwente in USB
to catch last night`s unID --- but never anything on or about 7300 by
0642 when I also start checking direct. Nor was there anything into
Missouri SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9709.4 approx., USB, Aug 29 at 0650, JBA 2-way in Spanish
including whistling, a sure sign of amateurism, INTRUDERS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
