** CHINA [and non]. 21490, Aug 22 at 1503, S5/S8 of dead air with
flutter until 1505*, surprise SSOB vs JBA carrier 21550 Algeria. Must
be CNR1 jammer overrun past 1500 vs Sound of Hope per Aoki. Wonder
if short path from East Turkistan site, rather than from further east
short path across nightside. On 21 MHz, skip distance to provide
jamming disservice across populous east China, a west ``China`` site
would make sense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 15610, Aug 22 at 1459 weak signal with W&M chat,
English? Wondering if WEWN has resumed morning as well as afternoon
emissions. But chopped off air at 1500* mid-chat. Might be CRI from
format except for no program break at hourtop. Aoki shows VOA Kurdish
via BOTSWANA at 1400-1500. Wait, there is still a JBA carrier after
1500: CNR1 jammer and SOH before and after then also on 15610 per Aoki
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Aug 22 at 2150, R. Cairo, strong but extremely
distorted in presumed English into UTwente. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 24, Aug 22 at 1529 UT, no signal from KOKH Fox ``25``
OKC. Normally ``local`` quality. Is back on at next check 1800 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 25, Aug 22 at 1430 UT, KWTV ``9`` OKC is on the air
but instead of local `News9` hour, is relaying sister station from
Tulsa, `News on 6` KOTV, with apologetic crawler. Evidently KWTV`s
studio produxion is out of order (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.003, Aug 22 at 2200, VOT English, huge S9+50/55 into
UTwente, slightly distorted in talk; s/on and news. 2210 `Review of
the Turkish Press` about TRNC et al. 2212 multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2214 music, now extremely distorted. 2222 `Weekly Commentary`
also distorted and as always voiced by the badax. Something`s awry at
Ankara. ``Penned`` by some PhD candidate in Washington DC, about China
and/or something. I give up on that. Recheck 2252, s/off, 2253 IS
distorted slightly more than once before chopoff; no finesse, and:
something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2204 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday August 22 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/40 direct.

NOT confirmed Tuesday August 22 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, a new addition

backscatter in prop disturbance (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRIA. 15265, Aug 21 at 1509, talk at S9/S7 with flutter, the
next to SSOB behind 15140 Cuba. EiBi shows AWR Turkish at 1500-1530
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 21 at 0628, tonite`s RHC overtime frequency,
undermodulated English talk by dull expressionless YL, S9+10/30
direct. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, Aug 21 at 1506, two musix on slightly
different beating frequencies, no doubt the current chosen spot for
Recep`s jammer to collide with Dengê Welat allegedly via Uzbekistan.
No other signals now in this 17450-17495 area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. LW monitoring has been stymied by high storm and
high line noise levels. But I can tell that SW 255 kHz Stillwater OK
and RG 350 kHz OKC are still off the air. Still on are PN 515 kHz
Ponca City, and EI 341 kHz Enid (Glenn Hauser, Enid, Aug 20, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 21 at 2030 UT, KOCD Okeene continues its
dead-air streak since at least August 9 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 21 at 2210, token English from SNR, VG
direct, about the Spanish civil war *1936, 100,000? in mass graves
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 21 at 2223, VOT English, S9/+10 direct,
multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2225 `Did You Know That`, slight
distortion exacerbated by the badax, can only understand an occasional
word: o, it`s a repeat about yogurt mentioned a few times as well as
Istanbul. Off the air by 2300 recheck this time (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2204 monitoring: again this week
NOT confirmed Sunday August 20 at 2000 on WRMI webcast only, rather
sounds like ``world music`` filler; despite WOR listing on skedgrid.

But at same time, Sunday August 20 at 2000, yes, reconfirmed on WRN
webcast of European stream; and on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz,
S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR. Whew, since our other time on 1323,
Friday at 2030, was replaced without notice by something else.

This was after a music show featuring something from Gambia, outro at
2059 as on IRRS but I never hear any program title. O, on sked it is:
`IPAR - 16 Gwendoline Street` as part of International Public Access
Radio, which also applies to this WOR broadcast. But what in the world
is significance of that street address? Top hit on broad search leads
to Raceview, Queensland, 4305. Another is in Mount Gambier, South
Australia, 5290. And another in Glenholme, Rotorua District, 3010, New
Zealand. Yet another in Price Town, Nant-y-moel, CF32 7PN, which
judging from the strange names and postcode must be in UK. Yes, Wales,
as in CardifF, and several more in UK!

One recent DX website says:
``QSL 16 Gwendoline Street via IRRS-NEXUS 1323 kHz
August 4, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

As a follow up to my previous post: I received a kind email from
Stephen Jones (gwendolinestreet(at)gmail.com), the producer of “16
Gwendoline Street”. I received this program via IRRS-NEXUS, Italy,
1323 kHz. Stephen wrote that the program I received a program that was
made by Rose from Radio Northern Europe International while he was
visiting a poetry festival on the Isle of Wight.

“16 Gwendoline Street” has been on air via IRRS since 2007. Focus is
mainly on a core group of dedicated listeners to what Stephen
describes as “Loosely Arts based”.``

That still does not explain why it names a programme, and I doubt it
would work as a postal address for reception reports. Posties also
might mistake it as an attempted delivery address rather than
addressee name. But I digress.

WOR 2204 also confirmed UT Monday August 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S5/S7 into Louisiana SDR starting with 14-second noise blast QRM.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 21 at 0300, S9+10 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6160 -68 Hz into NH remote = 6159.932; JL gotta go and see-ya at 0259,

one of countless CNR1 jammers against Sound of Hope, also audible this
daypart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. ``Dear Glenn, according to the official Colombian
registry of Colombian hams, RABCA [Radioaficionados y Banda

but finished in November 2021. Yesterday I heard that Mr. Ernesto
Reyes reporting to the Colombian Fraternity net on 7145 khz USB at
about 2230 UT. Sorry to have to inform that situation. Please keep my
identification confidential. Thank you.``

So that may explain why we no longer hear him on 10125-CW. Still has a
QRZ.com page, bare-bones, but that site is totally unofficial. I
wonder if they take any measures to assure everyone be licensed?

** CUBA. 18135 USB, Aug 20 at 0102, CO8LY calling QRZ and then CQDX;
at first he doesn`t hear those replying. There are only one or two
other phonesigs on band. Nice to hear him again; he used to be a
mainstay on the 24 MHz band - where I have heard zero activity lately

** NORTH AMERICA. 6865 USB>LSB, Aug 20 at 0125, rock music with heavy
beat which continues as various IDs talk over it: 0126 YL with ``Mix
Radio International``. 0132: ``You are listening to Radio 48 on Mix
Radio International ... dares to be different``. 0134, ``Riders on/of
the Storm`` song. It`s mainly USB but also audible when I switch to
LSB with much lower modulation. There is no carrier. A VG S9/+20
signal, the OPOB = only pirate on band. I compare it to the non-pirate
WBCQs presumably with much bigger transmitters: MRI with better signal
than 5130+, 6160-, 9330, slightly less than 7490-, but *louder* than
any of them!

Many more reports here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,117248.0.html
No one mentions the USB>LSB matter, but rave reviews of the audio and
its expanded bandwidth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 4170, Aug 20 at 0137 UT, third harmonic of local 1390
KCRC, good with silly ballgame - usually only a trace of this, and
still only a trace on 2780 second harmonic. I`d be interested to know
if anyone beyond Enid can hear them (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 11569.75 approx., Aug 20 at 0112, JBA carrier vs an
equally weak one close to 11570.00 - Aoki & EiBi show AIR Tibetan
service via Delhi/Kingsway at 0100-0230, which of course has to be
jammed by the ChiCom occupying Holy Tibet, probably with CNR1, site
unknowable but not necessarily inside Xizang. I suppose Akashvani is
more likely to be the skewed one. Both references still list it as All
India Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2204 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday August 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, VP into Durango2 SDR but
audible except for 14-second noise blast QRM at the start. Later into
Louisiana SDR, much better S9+10/20.

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 20 from 0322 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
VG S9+10/20 into nearby SDR.

One needs to keep checking the WRMI sked grids even if there be no
change in the Update date. I do so after 05 UT Sunday and spot some
new WOR times: UT Sunday 0000 on 9955, too late to check this week;
Tuesday 1300 on 9955; Friday 2030 on webcast only.

NOT confirmed Sunday August 20 at new time 1130 on WRMI 9955, which
supposedly just started last week. I manage to become awake today only
to find a gospel huxter on instead. Later another check of the still
dated ``Aug 11`` skedgrid *now* shows WOR an hour earlier at 1030!
Hope this last more than a week, altho very early for North Americans.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Aug 19 at 1818, LRA36 is on with
another reliable Saturday afternoon broadcast, S6/S8 as I tune in via
Argentine remote. Chatting, crediting this as joint produxion with
Universidad de Quilmes and RAE. After lunch, recheck at 1851 it`s off
- normally there are abrupt transmission breaks, or sometimes never
returning. This time it does at *1853, still chatting about Antastuff.
By 1907 songs. 1912 contact info, ``comunicad``. Greetings to/from
nearby Arglisteners. I suspect most of them there hearing via domestic
LRA network relays; but also a ham call mentioned. 1954 still going
with Quilmes plug. 2011 Uniendo Voces ID. 2026 check still going. And
at 2208, but off by 2222. Sorry, but this afternoon I am multi-tasking
including listening to other emissions (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Rafael Rodríguez R. in Colombia writes me, and I translate:

``RHC 9700 kHz Bauta -- This was published in the FB group `Todo sobre
Radio y Diexismo` by Engineer José Ibrahim Pose Morera, in charge of
the Bejucal transmission center. It`s his opinion of what could have
happened to the RHC signal on 9700 from Bauta.``

``Sometimes satellite receivers are used as backup linx in case the
main routes fail. The satellite receivers sometimes ``de-program``
themselves with failures of AC or abrupt voltage changes, going to
channel 00 which is Cubavision. It`s necessary to reboot them to
return to the RHC channel. I`m not 100% certain that it`s like this at
Bauta, but it is in my work. Aggravating the situation at Bauta is
that the programming transmitted on this frequency is in English and
may not be perceived by the operator. It also could happen that a
transmission starts OK and later this happens.``

Is he suggesting that ``Cadillac Man`` in English was being broadcast
on Cubavision? There are about 10 different channels, and it seems not
unusual to be running Yanqui movies late at night. Maybe with original
English sound, but subtitled. Program skeds do not want to go back in
time, at

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, Aug 19 at 1831, propagation quite degraded,

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 19 at 2200, no signal direct from VOT
English, not even JBA carrier; not checked UTwente until 2210, now
it`s on so must have started late. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. News until 2212, then multi-lingual ID filler reel.
2230-2234, `Gripping Piles` [?], on UNESCO banning smartphones, in
schools? At first I thought they were saying ``sulfites``! Usual
mixture with musix. 2252 usual canned jumbled s/off and IS. By 2257
still on interspersing German IDs; 2300 almost accurate timesignal and
opening German, as the op must be dozing instead of turning off before
2300. Something else is always erroneous at Emirler. Still going past
2313 when I check the signal: S9+40. I wonder what their audience in
Germoeurope is like past 1 am? It made no sense in the first place to
run German at that hour even on satellite and internet program feed.
Still going at 2321, 2338. It could be abruptly interrupted if they
awaken. 2353 s/off until the rehearing, and IS. 2357 starts Portuguese
IDs. This language is not supposed to be on SW at any hour. Good
timing for Brasil, but would only hit ouvintes by chance unless they
know to keep checking every night. 2400 almost accurate TS and s/on
with satellite parameters only for Portugal and Brasil --- but finally
chopped off air at 2401* before I could get to check out reception in
Brasília. Neither EiBi nor Aoki account for these bonus broadcasts
sporadically after 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Tropo is up for DTV around here. Besides the usual Tulsans
on 20, 26, 28, 34, I am getting solid decode from only one Wichita
station, KAKE ``10`` on RF 10; not often seen here with antenna aimed
at OKC. From circa 0300 UT Aug 19. Rabbitears.info shows KAKE is on
both RF 10 and RF 21 from exactly the same tower, why? More power on
VHF; I think I have seen it before on 21 but not now. Subchannels

After 0400 I stick with SCRIPPS for a MAUI Lost Island special, tho I
could also get it on 62-5 OKC. Finally at 0456, 10-1 signal breaks up
and away. But there are still plenty of BAD sigs, including RF 6,
which on my ch 7+ antenna I always assume is KBSD Dodge City KS,
without evidence to contrary. Indeed, APRS tropo blob now extends out
to Ensign area (Glenn Hauser, Enid, OK, WOR)
