** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Aug 15 at 1910, no signal from LRA36
into Argentine remote, just S5 of noise. If it`s Tuesday, must have
been Base Esperanza, reported earlier at 1640 by Manuel Méndez direct
to Spain. Is it now every day, almost? Last week I caught it on
Thursday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOTSWANA. 13830, Aug 15 before & after 0630, S7/S9 of dead air.
That would be VOA French at 0530-0630 M-F but not turned off yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 3330 RC USB, Aug 15 at 1459, Ottawa VE3HOA SDR is getting
3330 and the other CHUs, so back on air; after Richard Langley
reported System Status finally acknowledged the offage once it were
onagain:
``Should be back on now. Here's the latest status report:
Off: 2023-08-09 @ 00:00 --- On: 2023-08-15 @ 11:00 3.330 MHz``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17765, Aug 15 at 1722, S7/S9 with flutter in song,
sounds Chinesish, among few sigs on 16m. Aoki shows CRI French at
1600-1757 via Kashi-Saiba; land of ChiCom imperialist genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems. And nothing else anywhen on 17765; it was
once the 16m home of AFRTS, Delano, California (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1140 & 1490, Aug 15 at 1705 UT, KRMP OKC & KMFS Guthrie
are back on air at normal levels after yesterday`s anomalies, QRP and
QRT respectively (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1340, Aug 15 at 1718 UT, dominant KGHM has SAH ~counting
7 Hz from a second station, presumably next-closest KJMU Sand Springs,
especially on my favorable E/W longwire. KJMU listed strangely as 500
watts day/1000 night in last year`s NRC AM Log, but it`s had lots of
problems as recounted six times this year in NRC DX News with FCC
info, most currently the Aug 14 issue: ``1340 KJMU OK Sand Springs –
Granted STA, D1 125 from backup transmitter``. And previously: ``1340
KJMU OK Sand Springs – Silent since Jan. 8; on the air with U1 125/250
May 24.`` Supposedly Spanish; radio-locator calls it Radio La Raza,
which of course is not to be taken as racist. About the SAH, mwoffsets
has no entry for any OK but KGHM, which was 0.4 Hz high as of
2018-01-23 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 15 at 1708 UT, as far as I can tell, KOCD
Okeene still dead air, weak signal with occasional airplane surges, or
MS burst QRM. But also traces of another fringer. In OK there are
three translators and another Spanish, 6.2 kW in Collnsville; while
Kansas has three non-translators, most likely another Spanish, KSMM
Liberal, which I caught July 12 q.v., despite WTFDA DB *still* listing
it as silent since 4/28/22 due to xmtr failure which was/is? 100 kW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 15 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air
today, VG S9+45/50 into UTwente, also good modulation. Sign/on by
badax as always canned, but then News read by guy with clear English.
2211 going from `Review of the Turkish Press` which is always very
brief, into 2-minute multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2213 song. 2216
`Weekly Commentry` read by badax, penned by British scholar Hakim?
----, specializing in African affairs: UN says Aug 23 is International
Day for Remembrance of Slave Trade and its Evolution. A curriculum
being established about this history in Britain. Need to change from
Euro-centric. About University of Chichester; all this has no
Tuerkiyeish angle. By concentrating I manage to understand most of it.
Aug 23 is anniversary of Haitian? revolution in 1791. 2227 song, now
overmodulated/distorted. 2231 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products`
about --something-- cheese candy. 2233 again! 2-minute multi-lingual
ID filler reel. 2236 ``Always by your side`` promo, songs. 2240 for
third time! multi-lingual ID filler reel: enough is enough is enough!
2242 another song. And nothing but more songs until 2252 canned s/off
by badax. 2254 IS plays for a fraxion more than once and off* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 15 at 1705 UT, KLEY Wellington KS still dead
air another day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, Aug 15 at 1620 and still 1727, 1806, WWCR-4 is off
again today. Wonder if TOMBS has deliberately cut back? They never
understood the pointlessness, wastefulness of many duplicative
frequencies on US SW stations, but they were rolling in dough from
deceptees.

Transmitter sked dated June 1-August 31 still shows 9980 at 1200-2400.
But program sked dated August 1 admits it`s OFF AIR M-F 7-9 am & 11
am-3 pm Central, misconverted like everything as 13-15 & 17-21 UT.
Which one are we to believe? On weekdays there are several other
huxters, even Tony Alámo on WWCR-4, but Sat & Sun 5890/9980/7520 are
24h nothing but TOMBS.

Aug 15 at 2018, 9980 is back on already with `Financial Survival`,
which is at ``3:00P`` Central, so if you read that as CDT instead of
CST, it`s correct while ALL the UTC in the right column are WRONG, and
must be read as one real hour earlier than shown! After all these
years, WWCR still hasn`t understood UT conversion.

Reminds me of WINB 9265 several weeks ago, with similar confusion,
making it hard to correlate what was being heard with schedule. Now
they have an August 6 version showing correct 4-hour difference
between EDT and UT. NO, it`s still a mess. At 2300 English intro to
some Spanish huxter from Texas. Sked shows no Spanish now, but
2230-2400 `The Essentials of Life and Wellness`. Listening to webcast.
O, o, at 2305 he switches to English. No more info at WINB about that
show but search on title leads to a Dr William Wong, about health and
medicine, not religion, and not Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7640, Aug 15 at 0641, S9+10/20 of open carrier. Probably
ute, like idle RTTY but not noticed before, rather than a new
broadcast intruder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2314 UT August 15

** CANADA. 3330 RC USB, Aug 14 at 0608, no signal from CHU direct, but
still on 7850, inaudible on 14670. At 1608 into nearby VE3HOA remote,
still nothing on 3330 but 7850 and 14670 at local range. 3330 I also
noted absent the day before. Is this covered at System Status?
https://nrc.canada.ca/en/chu-short-wave-station/
Of course not! As previously discovered, is useless about new outages,
nothing shown recently. Still off at 2115 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIZUELA. 4940, Aug 14 at 0600, no signal from Station 4940,
but JBA carriers direct from other S Americans on 4810, 4885, 4985.
Seems hours have been reduced or just irregular (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Aug 14 at 0625, RHC overtime in Spanish, S9+20 with VG
modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Aug 14 at 2140, NO signal from R. Cairo in
English, into UTwente. No loss: of course if it were on, would be
horribly modulated. Still gone at 2155 when I switch to 11785 Turkey
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15530, Aug 14 at 1801, JBA carrier near 15520 Spain. EiBi
shows KTWR in Korean at 1730-1830. Presumably by now all emissions
have been restored to Guam. It`s notable now that there is a lot more
activity above than below 15.5 MHz on the 19m band; why? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470, Aug 14 at 1804, JBA carrier, only spot
below 17500 - got to be Dengê Welat or Recep`s Turkjam (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1140 kHz, Aug 14 at 2021 UT, KRMP OKC seems off, during
caradio bandscan. Equivalent 1 kW ND on 1340 KGHM has usual sufficient
signal. Later at 2040 I try on the DX-398 in the front yard: 1140 does
bear a JBA carrier looping OKC. Since there is no KS on 1140, two TX
are too far, and AR is 90 degrees away, also too far; therefore KRMP
is on but at greatly reduced power. Radio-locator coverage map for
KRMP shows Enid between local and distant contours (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1490 kHz, Aug 14 at 2021 UT on caradio, NO signal from
KMFS Guthrie. Likewise at 2040 on the DX-398, not even a JBA carrier.
Sob! sob! It`s Jimmy Swaggart`s station. NRC AM Log shows address in
Bâton Rouge; radio-locator in Las Vegas NV. Graveyarder of course 1/1
kW ND and the only 1490 here in daytime. Maybe high winds in storm to
blame (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1570 kHz, Aug 14 at 1823 UT, JBA Spanish in HNL, i.e.
KTUZ Catoosa near Tulsa. Its FM is back in OKC on 106.7 with a much
better signal here. Same call applies to RF 29 TV ``Shawnee`` with
Spanish nets and shoppers (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5 MHz, Aug 14 at 1942 & 2029 UT chex on caradio,
still dead air from KOCD Okeene, as already noted Aug 9 & 11. Standard
derisive remark. Hmm, what could OCD stand for? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 14 at 2200, VG S7/S9 into VA SDR, SNR has a
new opener for token English, a montage of multi-lingual IDs. Begins
with program preview, and acknowledging a listener, William, in N
America, another new angle. Again it`s Amy Egan and ??? Quintana. 2202
news. Deadline for forming new government is this Thursday following
uncertain elexion in July; if not, another elexion in December.
Heatwave in Canarias; water shortages everywhere. Stories punxuated by
musical stingers. 2209 invites contacts. 2210 some TV show, Game of
Thrones, filmed in Cáceres, and its impact; constant musical
undercurrent. At 2225, one of them says ``this concludes my time at
SFR; farewell!`` Now was that Hélena Rigobert or Amy Egan. I wasn`t
paying enough attention for this surprise despedida. 2226 story about
a singer who was fined for going topless, and her defiant remarx.
Marilín [sp?] Quintana and Amy Egan wrap up the show, so the departer
must have been Rigobert. That also explains why Quintana is newly
added (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785, Sunday August 13 after 2200, VOT is not
off the air today, until 2255.5*, including `Weekly Analysis` ending
at 2221 but I`m mainly attentive to `Ginga Brasil` this hour on WBCQ
7490- webcast. I do explore exact frequency readouts, this time on the
NA5B remote which I often use. It shows -43 Hz while UTwente shows
+8/9 Hz as usual. Then I try WWV into NA5B, 15000 -64/67 Hz and 10000
-44/46 Hz. Obviously it`s miscalibrated, the error proportional to the
frequency. One should not report exact frequencies from this or any
remote without first checking calibration with WWV every time. Or at
least favor SDRs with a good track record for accuracy (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 14 at 2155, VOT IS already running, VG into
UTwente, so not off the air today, but until 2230 I`m attentive to
SPAIN instead, which is a lot easier to understand in English. VOT is
somewhat overmodulated/distorted. 2233 `New Day, New Choices`, the
first stop in interstellar travel, the Moon, more manned missions in
next few years by different nations. Segment theme music: is that the
lead-in to ``La Bamba``? Song break; 2243 `Did You Know That` yogurt
was first made by Turx? misspoken by the badax. 2247 ``every hour of
the day, TRT VOT is with you`` promo; song. Now I`m listening via
Virginia SDR which shows frequency jumping around plus 14/47 Hz! Must
be the rx as UTwente shows it steadier around +9 Hz. 2252 usual
defective s/off by badax. 2254 first notes of IS allowed to play once
before chopoff*. Finesse has slightly improved (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 17530, Aug 14 at 1805, VOA, `Africa News Tonight`, S9/S6.
This transmission is the *only* VOA English left from inside US, via
Grimesland NC, daily 1700-1830. In the B seasons, also 21-22 on 11720
ex-15580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2203 monitoring: not confirmed
Sunday August 14 at 2000 on WRMI webcast. This entry appeared recently
on the skedgrid: more evidence that anything has to be confirmed by
axual monitoring. At same time, confirmed on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz, S9+12 into nearby SDR, and also on WRN Europe webcast.

Confirmed UT Monday August 15 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+15 into
Louisiana SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 15 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160

** U S A. 7490-, Sunday August 13 at 2300, especially since CBS-TV `60
Minutes` is going to run more than an hour late due to stupid
golfgame, I stay on WBCQ webcast after `Ginga Brasil` for Harry
Shearer`s `Le Show`, but stream stops at 2302*. I bring up 7490 itself
into Maryland SDR, and it`s also off. Then find 6160, 5130 and 9330
are also off. Must be total power failure at Monticello; of course I
don`t know for sure whether the other frequencies were axually on
until then. By 2312, webcast resumed but not 7490 until *2314 carrier,
*2316 add modulation, and staying on rest of hour. NA5B remote shows
7490 -106 Hz, but we know it`s miscalibrated, see TURKEY. Alexandria
VA is closer at -71 Hz as it puts WWV at 10000 +3/4 Hz, 15000 +5/6 Hz.
9330 still off at 2324, and at much later check 0324 Aug 14. At 0215
August 14 I try the W1NT in NH, which has WWV on 5 and 10 MHz within 1
Hz or less. And 6160 as -67/68 Hz = 6159.9325 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, Aug 14 at 1816, WWCR-4 is OFF, no BS! Other three
nominal, 12160, 13845, 15825. Something`s not airing in Nashville. But
2132 check is back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 14 at 1821 UT, dead air from KLEY Wellington
KS; still dead at 2020 on a different radio. From previous
performance, this could last for days - and nights of open 250 W
daytime power carrier rather than ONE WATT night license. Why would
FCC ever license any non-part-15 station at such low power? (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIZUELA. 4940, Aug 13 at 0707, JBA carrier vs HSNL, so Station
4940 is back on air after missing since Aug 9; also heard earlier
tonight by Manuel Méndez, Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Sunday Aug 13 at 0714, S9+10 of off-mike sounds, like
footsteps, someone left it on in a studio, also some JBA jazz music.
No doubt the only overtime RHC frequency tonight during the weekly
semihour when Esperanto is supposed to emit on 49mb like 6100.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6200 AM, Aug 13 around 0700, JBA carrier, presumed R.
Eastern Star pirate. Seems we have been right in filing under NORTH
AMERICA rather than USA, as RUS-DX quotes the operator as saying he is
in Choya Bay, Mexico -- that`s an expat town just north of Puerto
Peñasco, Sonora, NW Mexico, rather than SW USA. Of course we only have
his word for it, could be misdirexion. Or spelt Cholla (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 17735.002+, Sunday August 13, no signal into UTwente
until cut on at *1900 sharp during African song with drumming, VG
S9+15/20 out of Woofferton UK. Frequency seems to cycle 1 Hz between
.002 and .003, later .001 and .002. 1902 Yoruba by wild announcer.
1905.5 in English, ``Yoruba Nation Radio-Television ... YNRT``, 1906
songs. Back to YY assuming to be only, leave on in background. 1934
realize it`s English, guy alternating langs one sentence to another.
Keeps talking about prayer and god -- must be a religionist, even
Christian. ``Nigeria is a rotten place -- let us get out``. 1939
another segment all in English. Lots of spirited talk; maybe more
English bits mixed in with heavy accents. UTwente keeps cutting off
and on, annoying.

Scheduled Sat & Sun only. 19-20. BTW, once again no signal out of
Nigeria itself around 0700 Aug 13 on 7255- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2203 monitoring: confirmed UT

direct, what`s this? O, EiBi has it, C M Obrecht`s music hour special
from Switzerland, this date only at 23-24 for Brasil. Didn`t have it

** EGYPT [and non]. 9440, Aug 11 at 2139, R. Cairo, S9+25/35 into
UTwente, whine, crackle, distortion; despite earlier reports that it
was sounding better, but not now. Synch first displays 9440.000, then
9439.994+. Sounds like there are two carriers, but maybe the defective
Abis have two peaks. 21-22 is supposed to be a pause between CRI until
21 and BBC from 22 on 9440. Heard some Qur`aning for a while, it`s the
Fribbath after all, violating Separation of Mosque and State. English
sked until 2245, but by 2150 I notice it`s off, probably a few minutes
earlier. At *2158 new carrier on with tone, weaker S8/S9 on 9440.003,
presumably BBC via Philippines as now sked. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

deadair, no doubt still KOCD Okeene, Spanish religion, as first noted
2 days ago! I bet has been dead ever since, not checked yesterday -
yet another station so out of it that does not care, or does not know
that its modulation has failed -- also speaks volumes about their

** SPAIN. 17855, VG into Maryland SDR, Fri Aug 11 at 2202, token
English from SNR, with a mailbag bit from someone in Romania, inviting
correspondence to english@rtve.es 2203, news! It`s back after almost 3
weeks admittedly and their first chance to report on the July 23
elexion - but the results are still unclear. There will be another one
on Aug 17? or at least that is when parliament reconvenes. Several
world news items too, but they can hardly catch up with two
sesquiweeks missed. 2208 about a ``painter of light`` in Valencia,
Joaquín Sorolla - search him out but beware that all the images that
show up are not necessarily his. 2215 about various fiestas around
Spain, not necessarily at this time of year, 2224 one in Canary
Islands; 2225 ``burial of the sardine`` but I missed where. Most
hosted by two YL voices, outro as the familiar Amy Egan and the other
someone Quintana. Also heard an unfamiliar OM voice with a canned ID.
Other frequencies unchecked except on the waterfall I could also see a
trace on 17715 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 11 after 2200, VOT English is not off the
air today but first semihour I`m celebrating SPAIN back in business
after summer reruns. S9+40/45 into UTwente, heavy modulation. 2237
``Always by your side promo``, and `Did You Know That?` about a
natural wonder on the Black Sea coast, but I give up trying to
understand the badax. Her canned sign-off and one note of IS before
chopoffair at 2254* - no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
