** CUBA. 5025, Aug 20 at 0656, S9+35/45 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde, yet again; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Aug 20 at 2214, really nice ME/Arabic song at
S9+20/30, seems secular, as a WCB tactic like on KNLS to lull victims
into a false sense of rationalism, but then R. Feda ID in Arabic, and
presumably Christian evangelism. VG signal as usual from one of
furthest SW sites on Earth, closest to antipodal from here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY 11785.009+, Aug 20 at 2157, VOT not off the air, IS & ID,
S9+10/20 direct and fairly sufficient for direct listening, noise
level a little lowered; 2200 timesig and s/on pretending it`s 1230 on
17620; preview of topix: Review of Turkish Press, That`s Why, Weekly
Commentary, Turkey`s Geomarked Products. They are not always so
specific at s/on. 2201 news begins with another Israeli raid on Gaza.
At 2228 into UTwente when measured, S9+50, multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2230 `Weekly Commentary` read by Efsun the accentuated. I simply
cannot understand the name of the writer nor his background apparently
in some detail, nor am I going to strain to comprehend the content but
seems to be about -- guess what? Israel & Gaza. 2242 music. 2247
`Turkey`s Geomarket Products` about Hanak? string cheese - could not
catch the animilk source. 2250 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music.
2254 s/off ignoring SW = something`s always awry at Ankara, IS once to
2254.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2256 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A. Just heard from George McClintock, 1720 UT Tuesday August
20: one of the WTWW transmitters failed, and awaiting part to be
shipped in from Germany. In the meantime, only on the air is 9930 with
Brother Stair. But not yet on air today. Evidently all 9475/5085
programming is suspended including World of Radio until it`s fixed.
Indeed at 2211 check, 9930 is on with TOMBS // 9980 WWCR but not
synchronized, and 9475 is off. How about 5920 after 0100? (Glenn
Hauser, OK,  WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 20 at 0652, R. Vanuatu is back with music,
S9/+5, so missed only yesterday. Also heard again by Ron Howard,

an unlabeled map of Malvinas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 19 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+20/30
direct and the other three well audible, feature to be about women in
the arts? Too many distraxions such as 10m beacons and Turkey during
my brief monitoring window (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.001, Sunday August 18 at *2200, VOT cuts on slightly
late with no modulation, only S9+5/15 into UTwente, gives up by 2202*,
not heard further. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. So a
`Letterbox` is missed, and did not hear the final repeat 0300 if it
aired. Apparently programs are not ondemand later at TRT website,
where it`s hard enough to find anything about SW (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

and also modulating, S9+20/30 direct and almost sufficient vs noise
level, timesignal and s/on. Into UTwente at 2227 when measured,

** U S A. 9955, August 19 at 0622, WRMI is off again, no RFI Spanish,
as happens only on Mondays. Totally inconsistent with skedgrid for
Systems B & E. 5010 is also off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 19 at 0623, R. Vanuatu is gone again, not here
nor on 7890, 9960 or 11835. Ron Howard and Rodney Johnson agree no
signal on 7260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1100 kHz, Aug 19 at 0639, Meximx. No WTAM. No US
stations fit, per NRC AM Log 2024.

https://www.ircaonline.org/editor_upload/File/2023-24_IRCA_Mexican_Log.pdf
IRCA Mexican Log 2023 has three entries:

``XECSDZ Gjto Moroleón -5000 -1000 Radio Tonatiuh CP (2023) for new
social/community station.

XECPOG Guer Ometepec 1000 M·s Radio, Radio y Televisión de Guerrero
1200-0500 VAR RTG No FM. License expired in late 2021, but re-granted
(with new calls, ex-XEGRM) 6/23.

XETGO Zac Tlaltenango 30000 400 La Ke Buena [Zacatecas], Desde y Para
Todo
Zacatecas, Grupo Radio Cañón, Un Concepto de Radiópolis 1200-0600 GRU
TVR Staying on AM per IFT. AM was off the air 8/21 per IFT audit, but
active again in 2023. SDR monitoring 7/23 confirmed the AM was still
on``. Somehow copying info from that, accentuated letters get garbled
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1141 kHz, Aug 19 at 0640, JBA 1 kHz het to 1140
stations. Probably one of the numerous Rebelde pileups to block WQBA
Miami, which it seems due to format changes is really unnecessary.
Terry Krueger in the FL Panhandle reported: ``1141 UNIDENTIFIED 0716
5/16/24 Fairly strong and solid with no audio, as reported by others.
Points roughly 330/150-ish degrees, which should eliminate Cuba if
accurate enough. Anyone in Mexico able to check?`` But seems to me
that would include western Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. RF 13, Aug 19 circa 15 UT, STB displays 13-5 with a
broken-up freeze-frame, ultimately looks like OETA OKC, which is
always marginal or absent via my rooftop antenna aimed at OKC. But
there is large tropo enhancement into Kansas per APRS map. The thing
is, OETA does not go above 13-4. I bet it was trying to decode KUPK
Garden City, which Rabbitears.info shows does contain a Display 13-5
of Scripps News, or Physical channel 13.5 of Bounce (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
