** CUBA. 6000, Sept 10 at 0702, dead air from RHC, S9+10 direct vs
HLNL: only frequency still on at the Sunday time when weekly Esperanto
is supposed to air on 6100. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2207 monitoring: still not
confirmed UT Sunday Sept 10 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, rather Jeff
interviewing a tech presumably on `Viva Miami`. WOR supposedly
starting `later in Sept` when some new equipment is running, TBA by
Jeff; i.e. Sept 17 or 24.

Confirmed UT Sunday September 10 at 0034, the 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA
direct in HLNL = high line noise level; at 0058, S9 into Missouri SDR
vs HSNL = high storm noise level.

Also confirmed UT Sunday September 10 at 0319 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+15/20 vs HSNL into nearby SDR: nearest Blitz in east TN, NW KS,
about 4 minutes into so started on time circa 0315.

Also confirmed Sunday September 10 at 1030 on WRMI 9955, sufficient as
I happened to awaken.

Mike Barraclough reports Sept 10 to the bdxc-news iog: ``Smooth Radio
AM closures --- Thomas TV on Digital Spy reports this afternoon
hearing a message on Smooth Sussex 945 saying that they will be coming
off AM at the end of this month. Checking their webpage showing AM
frequencies which was updated September 4 it's now not listed there
nor is 1323 Brighton so that must be closing soon as well.

** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Sept 10 at 0000, surprise extra airing of
`Encore` classical music has replaced Texas Radio SW, which suddenly
suspended on WRMI. And at 0100, second hour of TRSW replaced by the

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15475.98 RC USB, Saturday September 9 at
1741, LRA36 is on already S5/S7 with echoey music; 1806 the poetic
scripted piece about Antarctica; 1807 into music. Still at 1935,
S7/9+10 into Argentine remote. I was mainly listening instead to the
opera from China on the WFMT Network via KUCO. Still on at 2112 when
I`m mainly listening to `Film At Five` on WCLV analyzing Star Wars
music. 2237 still on with music; off before next check 2329 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Sept 9 at 1500, V of Martyrs Korea s/on in
English, refers to ``tiny Maldives``, and continues preaching in
English rather than Dhivehi sometimes. In this case I`ll not trap them
since per Almanaque Mundial, total land area of 1200 islands is only
298 sq km. And anything next to India seems tiny by comparison. S9/+20
as usual here on the opposite worldside, making the ``Uzbekistan``
nominal site unbelievable; more likely Taiwan or Kununurra, Australia
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sept 9 at 2238 tune-in, S9+40 into UTwente, with
a recipe involving chicken broth, outro as `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic]
Products` to 2240, then ``with you every hour`` promo; 2241 song, with
some distortion worse during music; 2245 multi-lingual ID filler reel;
2247 song; 2251 s/off; 2253 IS; 2256 start German IDs twice a minute;
2359.6* cut off air just in time to prevent German hour. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. Before it went off I checked for splatter
above and below 11785 like last time, but that seems OK now and
Romania 11800 unscathed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Many thanks to Terry Colgan, who surprisingly had to suspend TRSW after
the Sept 3 programs; and our best wishes to him.

Sked on WRMI had been UT Sun 00-01 on 5950, Sun 12-13 on 15770. I`m
wondering whether some previous TRSWs might appear in those slots
still. WRMI skedgrids not updated to show anything else (Glenn Hauser,

in English. VR, SMG is scheduled everywhere as in French at 0630-0645;
except Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15700, Sept 9 at 0633, JBA carrier vs S9 line noise
level still not repaired by OG&E 3+ days later. Only thing listed is
World Music Radio, DENMARK, per EiBi 24 hours, but per Aoki 09-16
only. It`s low power and I have never managed even a carrier in
numerous bandscans here nor on 25800 or 5930. Operator said it would
be 24/7 thru September with 300 W AM on 15700. As recently as Sept 3,
Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal logged it on 15699.7; on Aug 31, 15699.642
per Wolfgang Büschel. I did not notice it being so far off-frequency
but was not alert for that. Maybe something else. Propagation?

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 101.5, Sept 8 circa 1820 UT on caradio around
Enid, seems to be slight quieting but no Spanish; no stereo pilot
either, so if KOCD Okeene, either turned off $ or just too weak to
fire. Later circa 1830 at a certain sweet spot, getting JBA Spanish
talk show about finances, more likely KSMM Liberal KS than religious
KOCD?

No, it isn`t: KSMM format is regional Mexmx and even sort of a program
sked on website: ``12 PM – 4 PM Monday - Friday Erica Majalca ”La
Manzanita" Join “La Manzanita/The Little Apple” as she presents la
música del pueblo: banda, corridos, rancheras, cumbias, pop,
romanticas and unforgettable classics every afternoon``

So back to KOCD? Website has no specific program sked,
https://salvacionradionetwork.org/
but ``something for everyone`` and this revelation!:

``The History of Our Station / La Historia de Nuestra Estacion
Radio Salvacion esta en el aire desde el año 2001, transmitiendo por
el 1220 AM, y 890 AM.

KWDW-LP 93.9 comenzó a transmitir en las ondas de LPFM en Agosto del
2014. Dejo de transmitir en Enero 2023.

KOCD 101.5FM comenzó a transmitir como Salvacion Radio Network en
Noviembre 2018. Termino de transmitir en Enero 2023``

Sic, sporadically accented. Sez both 101.5 and its primary on 93.9
went off the air in January 2023. So what were we hearing since then
but not recently? KOCD 101.5 transmitter might have been on air anyway
for test or oversight, or even being sold off.

Hmmm, there is another Okie in Spanish I had not previously
considered, just north of Tulsa, a lot closer than Liberal KS, but a
lot weaker. WTFDA FM Database shows the one for whose ID I must be
alert:

KIZS 101.5 COLLINSVILLE OK HD Spanish OLDIES 101.5 EL PATRON 6.2 kW
200.0 m HAAT 36-20-02 95-47-08 17BC 101.5 El Patron; 183 km/114 stmi

As for 1220 y 890 AM, must have bought some brokered time, not owned:
KTLV 1220 Midwest City is now UC:GOS, no mention of Spanish in new
2023-24 NRC AM Log; KTLR 890 OKC is REL/TLK, no mention of Spanish but
owned by Tyler Media which also runs KTUZ TV with three or four SS
networx, and KTUZ 106.7 fulltime Spanish (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 8 at 2200, token English from SNR. Justin
Coe is again heard during part of the program. VG into Maryland SDR,
also 15520, 17715; and 11670 for Africa better than usual but still
squealy. Too may distraxions including Turkey to note much detail.
Kenneth Vito Zichi habitually reports on these in great detail,
presumably by recording and research, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.009, Sept 8 at 2200, VOT English not off
the air, S9+45/50 into UTwente. I try to compare it to simulEnglish
from Romania on 11800, only to find that unusually weak and bothered
by splatter, which I then observe at least plus/minus 15/20 kHz both
sides of VOT, and sure sounds like the source, not distorted on 11785
itself but plenty loud. 2213, ``with you every hour`` promo, song.
2217 `Weekly Analysis`, writer unattributed, about foreign minister
visit to Iraq, as predecessor to planned Erdogan visit; lots of issues
to be resolved, notably PKK activities in northern Iraq. 2231 `Feeling
Supreme/The Healing Supring` on benefits of linden tea. As here, std
disclaimer about any associated advertising:
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/linden-tea
2242 `Did You Know That` about unique cheese produced in some Turkish
city, dating back to 5000 BC [sic], so a repeat by the badax; music.
2253 canned s/off as usual. 2254.5 IS, 2256.5 German ID, but 2257*
chopoff. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
