** CUBA. 9790, Aug 26 at 0406, CRI relay S9 but only a trace of
modulation. Cantonese scheduled, supposedly an ``endangered`` language
per Dore Stein on `Tangents`, KALW San Francisco, where it`s more
Chinese than ``Mandarin``. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Aug 25 at 2213 quick check, R. Cairo in English,
S9+20/25 into UTwente, and very loud but extremely distorted, so back
to TURKEY for me, tnx this tip from Andy Reid, Ont., on the WOR iog:
``Egypt half intelligible tonight -- R. Cairo is somewhat intelligible
tonight 9440 22 UT``. Well, we had not even run across a signal in
months, altho hardly motivated to keep seeking it. Something`s always
amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11824.96 approx., Aug 26 at 0415, good S9/+10 in
English, African Pathways on Madagascar World Voice, Mahajanga (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Aug 26 at 0408, JBA S5 signal, undermodulated,
presumably pirate Station YHWH, which is sporadically active. EiBi
shows irr. possible span 0100/0500. Others often report him but none
tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1270, Aug 26 at 0638 UT, VG Spanish music, loud
& clear, better than some 50/50 kW ``clears`` such as WOAI 1200.
Figured it must be KFLC Benbrook [The Metroplex] TX, U4 50/5 kW, but
now listed as TUDN sports -- maybe not in the nightmiddle? Night
pattern is E/W, no good for us, nor daypat major lobe east.

Then non-ID as ``107.9 FM y 1270 AM`` so it`s really KRXO, Claremore
[Tulsa] OK, listed as SS:CHR, address in OKC, 5/1 kW direxional SW but
not totally nulled thisaway. Besides ownership, KRXO[AM] has no
relation to programming on the original KRXO[FM] 107.7 OKC, silly
sportstalk in English. WTFDA FMDB shows 107.9 is K300CY Broken Arrow
[Tulsa], 150 watts, CHR, Lang NOT as Spanish, yet slogan Ritmo 107.9.
Another tail wagging an AM dog. A confusing situation; why apply the
same calls to AM in Tulsa, and not // FM in OKC?

But then I hear ``St. Joe`s classic rock, KY-102``, huh? That`s KYSJ,
St. Joseph MO, dog wagged by its tail, K273BF, 102.5 per NRC AM Log
and supposed to be only 36 watts at night! AOR format. Don`t think I
had ever heard it, U1 1000/36. Unless it changed to Spanish? Website
shows still English: https://www.ky102.net/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.4 approx., Aug 26 at 0418 weak S4/S5 rapid
chirping direct as heard recently from Riyadh`s Yemen service. Over to
UTwente at 0422 where it`s S9, and will not synchronize at any point.
Rapid chirping maybe 4X per second but irregular, in USB tuning, but
in AM, only hear clix above much weaker program modulation. Magnifying
waterfall, we see spikes upward only from 11935.5 past 11937; still so
at 0502. This transmitter keeps finding new ways to disrupt itself -
unless it`s external jamming, unseems. Next check 1918 Aug 26 into
UTwente - clear, no chirp, S9+15/25 on 11935.403 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sun Aug 25 at 2200, VOT English not off the
air, S9+50/55 into UTwente, s/on by Efsun the accentuated for the 1230
on 17620, who also makes the olds hard to follow, but one item is
about a TRT TV crew risking making a documentary about how Israeli
``settlers`` are pushing Palestinians out of their West Bank. 2220
`Letterbox` opening, but then some irrelevant music until 2224 when
Halil greets us. Says this has been the hottest week in Ankara, 35-39
degrees. It will soon cool down but in the south of Turkey it stays
hot until end of October. Expects winter to be damn cold, freezing.
First letter is handwritten, 3 pages, can`t make out what country is
from nor name, Marleen Testumi??? man or woman? Says started SWLing in
1968, now resumes listening on internet. Australia: Paul Simmons, SA,
VK5PAS. USA: Daniel Burns, Orange VA, 3pp by post. Wants to know name
of IS song. Try Shazaam, or he will find out. Austria: 4pp from Harald
Süss with two dots, wants QSL again. India, someone from an SWL club
with 270 members, wants QSL ASAP, mailed 14 June, just received. USA:
Miss Marlene Sherburne? the same as above? Auburn/Boston MA, resuming
SWL, congrats host and he is very impressed. India: Jayanta
Chakroborty, New Delhi, a regular, says could not hear 11 August 03
broadcast, due to blackout? [no, both frequencies not on air as I
monitored same UT date]. Malaysia: Peter Ng who must be Chinese; Kuala
Lumpur is Halil`s ex-town, greets in Malay and says his wife is
Chinese Malaysian, having trouble, delays getting her expired visa
renewed. Halil talks about how Singaporeans cross to Johore Bahru for
cheaper meals and gas. His report was for 5/31 and sent 6/3, long
delay in arriving. ``Goodbye, my lovely, lovely dear listeners; may
God protect all of us, amen``; 2249 song before 2252 `L`box` outro.
2252.5 headlines by Efsun and 2254.7 right into s/off which I am sure
she was reading `live` at 1324.7, for the 1230 broadcast, something
always awry at Ankara, and IS fragment until 2255.8*. BTW, I have been
saying ``IS once`` meaning only the first few notes before it goes
into variations, constituting the complete IS tune often unattained
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

2024? Under SOUTH AFRICA, where else? Fortunately almost same page
with no SWAZILAND entry even for cross-reference, but of course under

** U S A. 21330 USB, Aug 25 at 0142, W1ENR with short CQs, good signal

** U S A. 5085, Aug 25 at 0151, NO signal from WTWW when it ought be
on, but recheck at 0216 now it`s on, and how! pinning the meter S9+60
hardly ever accomplished by a non-local signal. Some guy is musing
that he doesn`t think much of the Democratic or Republican

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Three messages from George McClintock after 16 UT Aug 25:

``Healing: Glenn, My leg is slowly healing from the attack but my head
is not so fast. George McClintock 8-25-2024    `` - with photo of
wound on leg.

``Factory Tech: The German technician is scheduled to be here this
week. The factory is very concerned that this new product failed so
soon. George McClintock 8-25-2024``

``WTWW: broadcasting SOLELY to the US -- Several years ago, an FCC
monitoring station in Texas, cited 2 FCC shortwave stations, for
airing 800 phone numbers. The monitoring station stated that these
numbers were only usable in the USA and therefore constituted
broadcasting SOLELY TO THE US. One of these stations was WWCR
Nashville, TN, that I am part owner and managed for many years. The
FCC in Washington LATER stated that since the coverage of the stations
were also OVERSEAS and that this constituted NOT broadcasting SOLELY
to the US. The citations were rescinded. No further citations have
been issued on this matter. It follows that the target area of 8 {ITU
CIRAF = eastern USA} is in compliance with this FCC judgement. You may
remove it from the WTWW request if you still feel that it is not in
compliance with FCC regulations which are in writing, but a later
opinion revised. George McClintock 8-25-2024 WTWW, Lebanon, TN`` (via

** U S A. 15770, Aug 25 at 0147, WRMI-9, S9+20 much stronger than

this is during a Supreme Master TV cult bloc (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7730, Aug 25 at 0159 and still past 0200, S9/+10 of dead air

not SW? 0702 drumming and Bislama, presumably news. 7260 earlier? See
TURKEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6105, Aug 25 at 0152, JBA carrier; nothing listed,
closest being NHK via FRANCE from 0200, which of course is a bigsig as
reconfirmed by then. Maybe ISSoudun on exciter only warmup before
jacking up to full power? Or a spur, or a pirate; or XEQM
reactivated?! Hi. Another time might try to match exact frequency
offset if any before and after 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9421 USB, Aug 25 at 1446, ``HF radiocheck`` between 9-X

** U S A. 5800 & 5950, Aug 23 circa 0630, these WRMIs are off the air,
as they are supposed to be, contrary to 24 hours ago (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. Minor mixup in last report credit lines: the WRMI item was
not mentioned on WOR 2257, while the WTWW item was (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Aug 23 at 2341 into NH SDR:
5130 -71 Hz = 5129.929 is on, S6/S9 with FKB. So is 3265.114, slightly
better S9/+5. Since both reactivated we may expect a new AAAWWW to
follow. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 with else, TOMBS? 7490 -72 Hz =
7489.928 with FKB, S9/+5. At 2356, varied to 3265.180; 2358 to
3265.162. 2359 one-minute tone cue and FKB wraps up. Allan immediately
with ``Time to hit the button``, WTO theme, starts with ``Good old
real radio``, and during pause near end, ``40``. Angela remote on
phone yet again. Wednesday was National Radio Day. Before 0007:
``communist Democrats``, ``Democrat Communist party now poses an
existential threat to the USA``. I am not going to subject myself to
delusional stuff like this for the rest of the hour, so tune-out. They
manage to be 180-degrees out of step with reality, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935, Aug 23 circa 0630, this WWCR is unusually absent, no
PMS/DGS/University Network, normally 00-12 UT daily. Also, WWCR
normally makes a few intra-seasonal sked changes on Sept 1, but not
yet posted on website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

ME music, no jamming S9+25 into UTwente; but circa 1930 interrupted
every few seconds by strong ``chirps``, recorded example on WOR 2257;
not sure, but seems to be internal rather than external QRM. 1938

** U S A. 5085, Aug 22 at 0202, this WTWW is back on the air with
Truth2Ponder, VG signal direct, S9+50/60! George McClintock informs me
before 1600 that will try 9475 again later today. Good news: the
factory in Germany is so concerned about the failure of their
transmitter that they are sending someone over next week to work on
it. The other transmitter, #1 is a ``total disaster, fell apart``, and
there is no one to blame but -- you know who. 5085 only is again on
air at 0130 check August 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

audible. 5950 WRMI-8, normally also off at 0400* is S9+30/35 with
TOMBS at 0645, and running about 4 words behind 5850, WRMI-12 which is
normally overnight. Also the continuing anomalies of 9955 WRMI-3 with
RFI Spanish, and 5010 WRMI-14 with TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2257)

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS

``Call me a geek if you like, but over the past several months, your
Propagation Outlook on World of Radio, has become the high point of my
week. Before the cycle commenced, experts were predicting it would be
one of the weakest cycles in centuries. Well, cycle 25 has confounded
the experts. Solar flux above 300. I'm making the best of it because
I'm now at an age when this may well be the last Solar Max I get to
experience. Thanks for all your valuable information. Doug Brown,
London ON``
