** CUBA. 9790, July 14 at 0321, CRI English relay S9+30/40, conversation in Americanish English sounds so normal, but quite undermodulated, e.g. compared to 9740 RRI English. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN [non]. 9440, July 14 at 0316 Japanese at S9+20/30; must be NHK. Yes: EiBi shows via FRANCE to ME at 03-05, overlapping // 6105 to CAm at 02-04. Always very strong incidentally into deep NAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6850 USB, July 14 at 0303, heavy beat rock at S9+20, think I just missed an ID, the OPOB, off by 0336 check. These say it`s Radio 48/Mix Radio International, starting at 2319 July 13: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,131482.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1390 and // but ~6 words behind on 1640, July 14 at 0258 UT, KCRC & KZLS Enids have finally resumed modulations, 19 hours and 46 minutes after first noted silents, with Fox Sports Radio nonsenses (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.9, July 14 at 0331 UT, Enid CB pirate // 105.5 K288FX gospel music, not very undermodulated, and nothing on 27225v this time, but quite a het from a 27184.6 carrier (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 15325-15330-15335, July 14 at 0327 DRM noise at S9+10, RRI Tsiganeshti site for South Asia in English; hardly necessary with VG AM signal for us on 9740 from Galbeni (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, continued from last report, VOT English July 13: 2249 ``always-by-your-side`` promo again; 2254 s/off as if on 17620 at 1230; 2255 IS to 2255.6* chop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2251 monitoring: confirmed Saturday July 13 at 2300 on WTWW 9474.981, S6/S9 into Maine SDR. A few minutes earlier the signal direct faded way down, SID? Gradually recovered but level in Maine is lower than it should be. Also confirmed UT Sunday July 14 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S7/9+5 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed UT Sunday July 14 from 0445 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, the nominal 0315v very sesquihour late, S9+25 direct, and also via nearby remote, following ARRL Audio News which at 0432 followed interminable Houston Hamsat, which started at 0336 following TWIAR. HHS nominal time is 0200! No offense, but I wonder if anyone outside Houston really be interested in listening to that. Also confirmed Sunday July 14 at 1900 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.994 kHz, noisy S8 across Europe into Utwente. Next: 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; [irregular] 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [irr. also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy [NEW]; 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; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this week for a generous contribution from William T Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, by check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395, July 14 at 0650, WRMI-6 in German, mentions tofu, and apparently a recipe recited; not // 9455, WRMI-5 with TOMBS. Surely the German is Supreme Master TV cult, unpredictably multi-lingual. But skedgrid claims during this hour it`s on both frequencies. SMTV is System J, but there is no separate ``J`` program schedule below, skipping from H to K (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1649.585 & 1650.415 approx., July 14 at 0640, double het against 1650 stations, i.e. a tone of about 415 Hz transmitted instead of something off-frequency. There are only six US stations on 1650, two Canadians, and zero Mexicans. Normally dominant are KCNZ IA or KBJD CO, and despite proximity, hardly KFSW AR > really in OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. RF 19, July 14 at 1525 UT, STB gets BAD signal here, which means it`s not KAUT OKC in ATSC 3.0, invisible but normally blocking anything else, antenna still aimed at OKC. Tropo is up to the north, so presumably 1000 kW KWCH Hutchinson/Wichita KS which is not 3.0, for the first time. Also BAD signals on RF 8 & 10 correlating with Hutch/Wich market (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1947 UT July 14

** CUBA. 4765, July 13 at 0626, no signal from R. Progreso, so last night running 3 hours past usual 0400* must have been a fluke, or in Spanish not fluco but casualidad. 5025 Rebelde is on now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1390, July 13 at 0712 UT, S9+70 of dead air from local KCRC a few km away from me, rather than stupid sports talk. Trace of other station(s) underneath, which I might have tried to pull by nulling if it were not so late. Guess what? It`s still DA at 1544 UT recheck. Is no one there or paying attention on Saturday mornings? Guess what2? Its sibling station 1640 KZLS is also DA at 1545. And both still dead at 1846! And 2210!! They are at radically diverse transmitter sites. How about other CTB stations on FM? 107.1 & 106.3 & 97.7 & 96.9 & 95.7 are OK at 1545. Who cares about AM? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, July 13 at 2200, VOT English not off the air but VG S9+35/45 into UTwente, s/on as if on 17620 at 1230, preview features to be `The Energy Agenda` and `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`. Music by 2209. At 2222, `TEA`, How did the Russia-Ukraine war affect energy prices? They went up. Stats about how much energy of different kinds, such as LNG, were still imported into Europe from Russia, much of it via pipelines thru Turkey. 2229 song. 2232 multi-lingual ID filler reel, music. 2238 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2239 music. 2242 `TGP` about embroidering beads and sequins on jackets. 2242 music, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2251 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday July 13 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, VG direct; followed 0429 by `Ancient Word Radio` ID, a bit of music until chop at 0430.5*. Also confirmed Saturday July 13 at 1437 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.000, S6/S8 into UTwente; and: ``WOR 2251 confirmed at 1430 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160.000.8 S9 + 5dB / 10dB on local Kiwi at Bremerhaven. S9 * 10dB /20dB on southern Bavarian Kiwi (http://sdr-bayern.spdns.de:8073) with fine SNR S9 on UTwente - bad SNR imho Lesley Illingworth reporting. Thanks for DX show.`` Also confirmed Saturday July 13 at 1600 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday July 13 at 1736 the 1730 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, S9+15/20 on 6160.000, S7/S8 on 3975.003 into UTwente. Also confirmed Saturday July 13 after 1930 on WRMI webcast only and WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday July 13 from 2005 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into nearby SDR. Also confirmed Saturday July 13 at 2023 the 2000 on WRN Europe webcast. Next: 2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475; 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500]; 1900 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; [irregular] 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [irr. also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy [NEW]; 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; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

** CUBA. 4765, July 12 at 0654, R. Progreso is still on, S9+5/10: as if in response to my observation why not run 24h like Rebelde - which happens also to be on 5025 now and even modulating. Manuel Méndez, Spain also reported it direct, ``CUBA, 4765, Radio Progreso, Bejucal, 0447-0515, 12-07, extra time today, Spanish, usual closing time at about 0400, comments, ID at 0502 “Radio Progreso, Cadena Nacional, la Onda de la Alegría, transmitiendo desde La Habana…”, more comments and Cuban songs. 15422`` - And Zacharias Liangas, Greece: ``Just now 0636 via the TWR Bonaire, signal -85 with fading width of 25 db and variation program, someone talking and music behind`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE [non]. 9955, Fri July 12 at 0630, WRMI relay of RFI in Spanish, timecheck as 1 AM in Paris, so original airing was 23 UT. Obscures 9960 much weaker VANUATU. WRMI skedgrid of System B still claims RFI is at 05-06, and on internet only except Sat & Sun. Wrong, wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.576 & 27224.900 approx., July 12 at 2158 UT, Enid CB pirate // relaying 105.5 translator of KYLV during gospel music, and talk at 2216 when measured; both S9+20, but lower one just barely modulated (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, July 12 at 2018 UT, KOSU with `Oklahoma Music Minute`, periodic filler during NPR breaks, in this case amid ATC; on behalf of its alter-ego The Spy: I make a point of checking, and no, they do not turn $ tereo back on for that, staying in daytime mono, resulting in ``flat`` music (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri July 12 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+20/30 direct and also audible on 17715, 15520 but JB on 15390. Preview to be something about an exhibition of uniforms; 2202.3 news starting with political fight about how to handle transferring migrant miners from Canarias to Peninsula - no, minors, about underage migrants; and about the rights of and compensation for victims of the Franco dictatorship (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785+, Fri July 12 at 2200, VOT English has just come on at S9+20, s/on as if on satellite and streaming only, ignoring SW: something`s always awry at Ankara. At 2215 music already. 2232 switch to UTwente at S9+50 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2243 `That`s Why` for the first time voiced by the OM with 100% comprehension rather than Ms. Badax, about billions/trillions of nonhuman cells within our bodies: only 43% of us is really us, music. 2252 TRTVOTWorld.com promo, s/off again ignoring SW. 2253 IS, 2256 restart IS with German IDs, 2300 s/on German, olds till chopoff at 2303*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2251 monitoring: missed checking Fri July 12 at 2030 on IRRS via 1323 kHz, and WRMI webcast only; anyone hear them? Confirmed Friday July 12 at 2211, the first SWBC 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 direct but tough copy vs HLNL and undermodulation. Also confirmed Friday July 12 at 2255 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.004, S9+15 into UTwente. Next: 0400 UT Saturday WTWW 5085; 0930 UT Saturday WRMI 9455 to WNW; 1430 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1730 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM [1900/2100]; 2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475; 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500]; 1900 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; [irregular] 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [irr. also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy [NEW]; 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; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this week for a generous contribution from William T Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, by check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs July 12 at 2340 into Quebec SDR: 3265 & 5130 off. 6160 -69 Hz = 6159.931, TOMBS at S9/+10. 7490 -69 Hz = 7489.931, FKB at S9+5/15. By 2348, however 5130 -72 Hz = 5129.928 is also on with FKB, S9/+10 but noisy. At 2350, 3265.149 has also come on with FKB, noisy S7/S9. I stay with 5130-. 2359 one-minute-warning tone and wrapup, amen. Then AW about clix, ``hit-it`` and 0000 July 13, WTO theme. Starts talking about toilet and politix before theme ends. 0003 brings up sweetheart on phone. Trimulcasting on 7490, 5130, coughs, 3265. Drinx just a little bit of Chocolate Bailey with reduced alcohol content at the end of a day twice a week. 0016 datestamp as 12 of July, YOOLF 2024. General monologue about protecting our Earth. If humanity can make flush toilets, why not solve greater problems? Angela barely gets in a word edgewise and is liable to be talked over when she does - not in disagreement, of course. She objects to Black cable channels - isn`t that being racist? At 0040, 5130 suddenly dumps off the air, so I change to 3265. At 0042, he reads the basic aims of Project 2025 -- they sound very radical and it`s hard to believe even he would approve of them. Then they agree that P2025 is ``backlash``, i.e. blaming the Left - ``communist Democrats``, ``nitwits are running the country``, the Constitution being violated - implying that the MAGAs would not. But listening to the entire hour, I do not hear them mention *rump by name, once! At 0054 he starts to repeat ``trimulcasting``, but realizes that 5130 has gone off, that happens, so he resets it. 0056 a bit of email. 0058 Free Radio Weekly received but no time to quote much of it beyond my log of Ball Smacker Radio, not credited of course. 0059 prayer, 0100 ID by Angela, and over to Hal Turner a few sex late just as he is talking about his SW coverage. Both 3265 and 5130 are off by 0237 recheck, probably much earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, Fri July 12 at 0632, NO signal from WMLK. Varies widely by propagation/MUF but with 300 kW, there ought to be at least a JBA carrier if on. IIRC, also absent last night, so off the air? Note, normally silent on UT Sabbathdays only like July 13. Other broadcast is 17-22 UT on 9275: by 1705 July 12, no signal into Maine SDR, while neighbor 9265 WINB is good with national anthem -- is it the only US SW station to play The SSB at s/on/off? For shame. Still no 9275 by 1800 into other remotes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 9670, July 13 at 0225, ``Yellow Rose of Texas`` Dixieland version, then vocal C&W. It`s the Texas Radio SW test via Channel 292. Good S7/S9+5 into NH SDR I had up for WBCQ earlier. Not many tunes one can enjoy listening to, over and over for an hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0353 UT July 13

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, July 11 at 0643, RNZP VG S9+20/25 here, and not on 13690. Switch from 13690 to 9700 now sked at 0558/0559, but have been known to overlap (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. July 11 before 0300 UT, search on caradio for Es DX instead finds tropo boost from OKC of lowpower signals normally inaudible: 96.5, July 11 at 0258, ``Los éxitos de ayer están sólo aquí``, and similar non-IDs in next few minutes. So K243BJ, HD# of KRXO 107.7. [WORLD OF RADIO 2251] 94.1, July 11 at 0300, Bott Radio promos; $ tereo icon flashes on and off but probably from CCI. K231BH of KQCV 95.1 - WTFDA DB shows base station also on 94.1, wrong. 95.1 hardly needs a LP relay so close. 92.9, July 11 at 0304, ``The Edge``, i.e. K225BN, of KOMA-HD2 on 92.5. Maybe slogan alludes to being at the edge of 92.5 bigsig. 97.3, July 11 at 0306, plug Santa Fe Family Life Center, then OKC RCC references. Is 1.0 kW KKNG-FM Blanchard. Beware, ``Santa Fe`` mentions do not necessarily lead to NM. Also Houston, and RCC stuff anywhere (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
