** EAST TURKISTAN. Re my log on 17615 with Chinese music, August 4 at
0638, Wolfgang Bueschel confirms, of the two ChiCom broadcasts, this
would be the German service: ``Checked the 16 mb on Aug 1 morning 4-7
UT: CRI via Urumqi and Kashgar bc center had a lot of foreign
services: CRI French, Italian, Arabic, Russian and Spanish language
section had also some part of 'theme TALK' in between, English
programmes of course anyway, but CRI German service noted playing
'Music ONLY'. 73 wb df5sx`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 5 at 0500-0506, UR1 via WRMI,

Confirmed UT Friday August 5 at 0130, first broadcasts on WRMI: 7730,
S9/+10 with storm crashes into Maryland SDR; 5850 VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Friday August 5 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+10 into
Maryland SDR, altho aimed SW from FL.

Also confirmed Friday August 5 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct,
seems undermodulated; no Cuban jamming audible. Next: Friday 1815 as
above (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Correxion: this should have read 9330.083, not 9329.083;
fixed: 9330.083, August 2 at 1508, WLCR/WBCQ still frequency-skewed
due to alternative driver (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13845, August 5 at 1428, NO signal from this WWCR: must be
off, since 15825 attains a JBA carrier, while 9980 & 7490 blast in as
usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1160, August 5 circa 0615 UT, another try for the RCC
station: some Spanish JBA, and again nothing from KSL: surely it`s on
but not propagating. Tonight the IBOC noise is much worse from 1170
Tulsa, ex-KVOO: even USB tuning of 1160 cannot avoid it (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1713 UT August 5

** EAST TURKISTAN [non?]. 17615, August 4 at 0638, Chinese traditional
music at S8/9+10, the SSOB by far, besides several carriers or JBA
carriers propagating on 16m in the summer nightmiddle. Probably CGTN
German service from Kashgar, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide
against Uighurs and other Moslems; but simulscheduled is CRI in
Chinese via Kunming. Is the entire German hour, like several other
languages, defaulting to fill music? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, August 4 at 0646 UT, ``The Five States` Big Talker,
KGYN`` Guymon ID, mentions Jim Bohannon, but not his voice. Seems the
78-year-old has been out for some time with health issues, but a
seemingly recent item says he is now coming back, thanking three
substitutes. Can no longer find any affiliate list on the web (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 4 at 0500-0507, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` VG into Maryland SDR; including: Russia has failed to
occupy Donbas completely; being repulsed in the south, such as 50
settlements in Kherson region liberated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2149 monitoring: ``From: Richard

Dear Glenn: World of Radio, monitoring and confirming the latest for

Also confirmed UT Thu Aug 4 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland
SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thu Aug 4 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/15; and S9/+10
on WRMI 5010, not solid with storm crashes, both into Maryland SDR.

WOR 2150 should be ready for download and first broadcasts on WRMI
5850 & 7730, UT Friday August 5 at 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7730, UT Thursday August 4 at 0100-0130, WRMI VG with Radio
Carpathia International, music from E Europe. This test spot provided
by R. Northern Europe International with own show at 0130-0200. Both
hosted by YLs, who they are and where they are not clear. Presumably
not on a weekly basis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, August 4 at 0648 UT, ``The Voice of Southern Gospel
Singing, news? Radio, AM 1090, KAAY`` promo. Big sig, so is it still
on 12.5 kW? FCC AM Query still shows 50 kW direxional at night, with
0.08 kW only a CP, and nothing about 12.5 kW. Until digging into the
Correspondence file, latest from July 14:

http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=102873
Has been on 12.5 kW ND STA for over 2 years, but got another extension
until January 14, 2023. Why is it so tough to get an 80 watt
transmitter up and running? Meanwhile the other 1090s and DXers will
have to put up with KAAY QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1160, August 4 at 0644 UT, ``la santísima virgen``
mentioned in Spanish, ergo something RCC in the Marian cult. Last
year`s NRC AM Log shows some EWTN stations on 1160, but all in
English. Among SS stations in USA, only REL is: WRLZ, Saint Cloud FL,
U4 2500/500 watts. No website but owned by Iglesia el Calvario de
Orlando, Inc., which is Assemblies of God, not Catholic. Not Mexican,
only one 1160 left, in BC, non-religious. 1170 Tulsa IBOC peaking 1157
evitable by USB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1953 UT August 4

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, August 3 at 1448-1548, LRA36 NO SHOW,
monitored this Wednesday for a full hour via Buenos Aires area remote.
Wonder if will make up Friday circa 1800 as happened recently?
Otherwise try Sat circa 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9818.793, August 3 at 0627, JBA carrier presumed R. Nove de
Julho on signature off-frequency, also reported at a different time by
Manuel Méndez, Spain on 9818.8. Checked here for only other ZY on 31m
overnight while RVM missing from 9665v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, Aug 3 at 0636, this RHC English is on tonight, unlike
last night this late, and better than 6060, while 6100 and 6000 are
off; 5040 still on in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, August 3 at 2126, S9+35/50 of humwhine with traces
of English? modulation spikes into UTwente. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, August 3 at 0710 UT, PN, 25 watt ND beacon
at PoNca City is back on air; had been missing since July 31 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wednesday August 3 at 2200 UT, REE still no English,
but more of `Canciones Ténebres` about Cuba. Following links below for
what`s supposedly on now, `El Guateque`, that program last aired on
14/02/2020! Alan Roe has found a webpage of program predixions for the
next sextaday showing English will resume on UT Monday 8 August:
https://www.rtve.es/play/guia-rne/radioexterior/6-dias/

But this is very confusing: it does show English for Martes 09 at
00:00 = which is local time, i.e. UT Monday 2200; but it does not
correctly show what is axually airing today Wednesday 2200 UT = Jueves
04 at 00:00: For ``hoy`` at 00:00 at first claims Emisión Sefardí,
which is really at 2200 UT Tuesdays; yet ``mañana`` at 00:00, `Amigos
de la Onda Corta`, the media (hardly DX) program in Spanish, but that
must refer to local Friday, since the following tab is labeled sábado
06! AdlOC should really appear at 2200 UT Thursdays. Something`s
messed up in Madrid. It also shows when on the local day English is at
00:00, it`s also at 04:00 = 0200 UT. Unfortunately, that`s exactly
when the SW transmitters close down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 3 at 0500-0505, UR1 via WRMI, VG into
Maryland SDR, `Ukraine: Security Issue` for Aug 2 = Day 160 of
Tsar-war, this time by the OM announcer with heaviest accent, yet who
also speaks trippingly too rapidly; wish they would let the YL who
speaks English best do them all; including: Poland and Baltic states
will be next unless Russia stopped by Ukraine (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, August 2 at 0630, this RHC English is loud & clear for
a change, S9+20/30 with VG modulation, so it can be done! Talking

** ITALY [non]. ROBERTO SCAGLIONE: very sad news from Andrea Lawendel
that Roberto died suddenly of a heart attack on August 1. Proprietor
of the BCLNEWS.IT group and website, and a cooperator with WOR:

``According to messages circulating this morning on SWL related
Italian social networks feeds and confirmed by an obituary just
published by Palermo online news site
https://palermolive.it/morto-roberto-scaglione-teleone/
Roberto Scaglione has passed away yesterday in his hometown, due to a
sudden heart event. Originally from the Southern Sicilian port of
Sciacca, close to Agrigento, for many years Roberto has been founder
and editor of the Italian DX news organisation "Bclnews" and host to
the Italian DX programme "Obiettivo DX", on Sunday from AWR Europe's
SW frequencies. 73 Andy Lawendel Radiopassioni.it``

No further info at the Palermo site but it does have a portrait.
Roberto also produced a `Studio DX` program in Italian on WRMI:

``Studio DX è l'unica trasmissione in lingua italiana dedicata al
mondo dei BCL, SWL, radioamatori e mondo delle comunicazioni in genere
diffusa in onde corte, onde medie, satellite, internet e attraverso
una rete di emittenti in modulazione di frequenza. Ideata nel 1978 da
Stefano Mannelli IZ3ENH, è realizzata e condotta in studio da Roberto
Scaglione di bclnews.it. Studio DX potrà essere ritrasmesso dalle
