** CUBA [and non]. WSB Atlanta 750 was reported off the air for
maintenance, and someone in Tennessee thought he was hearing
Venezuela. After 0455 UT Sept 22 via Athens GA SDR, I`m getting a
station talking about Cuba. I bet it is Cuba, R. Progreso, Palmira,
CI, the only one listed in WRTH. IIRC 750 used to be a Venez fq, but
not any more, none listed. 0500 ``R Progreso, Cadena Nacional, la Onda
de la Alegria``, etc. And WSB may be off again UT Sept 23, per Les
Rayburn of CPC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, Sept 22 at 0652 all RHC English
frequencies are off already; only 5025 Rebelde is still on.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, following Gary Pence`s suggestion, as of 0450
UT Sept 22, I have been on the NH6XO KiwiSDR, Kanoehe, Hawaii since
0430 but no sign of a R. Kiribati carrier yet on 846. Wonder if they
are off again tonight. Was away for a while but at 0540 it`s surely on
with songs, S8. So I missed when it came on or faded in. First time I
have tried for it remotedly. NH6XO has a 200-foot N/S beverage. It`s
on the ``windward`` NE coast of Oahu, so has to shoot thru Honolulu
slightly offbeam. Fortunately this is far enough from 830 KHVH, and
850 KHLO not a problem yet, either. By 0622 still in with more ACI.
LSS at both ends circa 0430. At 0633 I hear the 846 JBA carrier direct
as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2157)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 22 at 0646, no signal from VON. But Gary Pence
reports later: ``Hi Glenn, about 0730z Nigeria (presumably) was on, S7
with considerable static crashes from North Utah SDR east antenna but
the audio was so lowly modulated I couldn't tell what language, signal
was running about the same in the Canary Islands but with less
atmospheric noise. Freq was 7254 between .93 and .94 - 73, Gary``

7255-, Sept 22 at 1725, no off-frequency VON signal into Canary SDR,
but lots of storm crashes as usual. Closest storms now over Western
Sahara and northern Mauritania (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 21 at 2204, R. Cairo is on today, S9+25 into
UTwente, but extremely distorted modulation, useless. This protracted
incompetence at National Media Authority is really remarkable.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1600, Sept 21 at 2120 UT, looking for some tolerable AM
band music to nap by, I try KUSH in Cushing, but there`s a talk show
instead! Seems to be MOR, not Biden-bashing like everything else in
OK. 2129 still ID as ``Oklahoma`s Americana Station`` and 2130 back to
Bloomberg Radio, ``Sound Off`` show, giving its frequencies in some
major markets, 99.1, 1130, 106.1, 960, and Sirius XM 119, but no
mention of 1600 or KUSH! NRC DX News of August 30 reported:

``KUSH OK Cushing — Format to C&W (ex-C&W/OLD) (StIntel)`` -- The
`OLD` was ``Americana``, a rather rare format which made KUSH worth
some listening. New NRC AM Log showed slogan ``Oklahoma`s Americana
Station``. U1 5000/70 watts, psra 500. Radio-locator says ``Oklahoma`s
Only Americana Station``, day coverage map finds OKC, Tulsa and Enid
all between its ``distant`` and ``fringe`` contours, but I doubt it
have much of an audience in our three metros.

https://www.1600kush.com/ --- take your pick of slogans and formats,
including Bloomberg Radio. Like far too many radio stations, there
seems to be no plain old program schedule showing what`s on air, when,
hour by hour (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.002+, Sept 21 at 2202, VOT English at S9+45 but just
barely modulated: I have to run UTwente volume at max, a risk if
tuning to anything else, and also local volume at max, just to hear it
at ``normal`` level. 2215 `Review of the Tuerkiyeish Press`; 2344
`Feeling Supreme` repeat about natural remedies for diabetic/insulin
problems. Does not go off circa 2255, but IS, 2300 TS and opening
extra German airing while the sleepyops doze. News, 2314 song; 2334
multi-lingual ID reel, still going past 2344 song. By now mod level
better, can back off a bit, but still under-. 2347 `DYKT` theme and
German version, something about a tower.

Double bonus! Stays on after German too with IS and 2356
Luso-Portuguese IDs, UT Sept 22 *0000 sign-on for another broadcast
not supposed to be on SW at all. I quickly notify the radioescutas io
group that brasileiros are in luck tonight! Sign-on only heard giving
satellite parameters. Too busy to listen closely but usual mix of talk

the air as if this were an intentional emission. Bet it won`t be on

``Economy --- Investing in Cuba: Certain Suicide --- What is behind
the announcements that private investment on the island will be
allowed? Emilio Morales, Miami 20 Sep 2022 - 17:42 CEST

In a desperate attempt to survive the multisystemic crisis that is
about to topple it, the Cuban regime has taken a series of steps that,
rather than a strategy, seem like acrobatics. Its new plan does not
include the first thing that should be implemented in the economic
sphere: a series of reforms, based on free enterprise and free
markets, to restructure the model.

Yes, the regime has announced that it will allow investments in the
private sector, and so has the Biden Administration, as part of its
policy to empower the Cuban people by allowing investments by American
companies together with private companies on the Island. However, it
is naïve to think that there is a real private sector in Cuba...``

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 21 at 0617+,
first time in months such a panoply this late due to latening Euro
sunrises: checked 1044 first and there it is, far too late for
Ethiopia as I recently hypothesized circa 0300.

But this is still too early for any TPs beyond 846, and unusually,
Kiritimati is missing even tho it`s Wednesday, not Sunday. Gary Pence
agrees, Sept 21: ``846 kHz no show --- sure enough, I tried checking
early and thru the nite but it was a no show. NH6XO [SDR Hawaii] is a
great place to check since Kiritimati is 1353 miles almost due south,
where his antenna is north/south 220 ft unterminated Beverage. 73s and
good luck this morning, Gary``

In total, not in the order tuned; (2) indicates at least two carriers
beating; (3) at least three: 531, 558, 621, 639, 684, 693-, 729(2),
774(3), 847, 855(2), 1044, 1098(2), 1107, 1116, 1305; 1710 = NAm
pirate? Method is 9 kHz steps in USB at 1 kHz below the channels.

These are likely from Spain/Algeria/Morocco; even when some of the
Spaniards are lower powered than biggies insolated further east. 693
is perceptibly low, judging from pitch tuned to 692 USB. MWOffsets
shows the only one fitting, as of 8 years ago! ``692.9921 RNE Radio

modulation; 6165, 6000 and 5040 are off, leaving only 6060 with a
sufficient S9/+10 signal yet undermodulated with hum. Something`s

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 20 at 2152, R. Cairo manages to get on air,

English. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 20 at 0630, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati.
Gary Pence, TX, has also been checking this via remote:

``Hi Glenn, I was using SDR NH6XO, Kaneohe, Hawaii when I caught them
in their local sunset enhancement, better waterfall with visible audio
besides the usual JBA carrier then it took a deeper fade that seems to
be common that I have run across in my MW DXing. I Recorded a little
and no side splatter directly on the sides, around 0428z Sept 20,
2022. Every time I have checked 846, a thin line showed up on the
Kiwi, so to my amazement I was surprised to see some modulation in the
waterfall and could hear it a little better. After about 10 minutes,
the big fade hit. To really explore this sunset enhancement, I need to
start listening just before sunset around 0345z or sooner until their
sunset around 0428z. I read a story how somebody in Hawaii had
armchair copy from across the room back in the day. CuL, Gary`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 20 at 0631, VON on with S9/+10 of dead air.
Well, that`s something, awkward at Abuja. Did not get to check their

** TURKEY. 15375, Sept 20 at 1454, S8/S9 of heavy rock vocal music,
Turkish talk and more music past 1500, one of better signals on band,
so I bet it`s VOT: yes, 13-16, 500 kW at 310 degrees toward W Europe
and here are we beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, Sept 20 at 2154, VOT already on in Tuerkiyeish
talk not scheduled now, S9+45 into UTwente, 2155 IS starts with
Engliyeish IDs, but suptorted and with loud hum, 2220 commentary about
QE2 by someone with an Engliyeish name. Suspect same transmitter as

finds nothing: need to be more persistent like Ron Howard, same
date:

``Strange happenings! On 7932, happen to hear Radio Vanuatu for maybe
10-15 seconds before cutting off at about 0522 UT. Seemed they were
maybe working on repairing the xmtr without attempting to correct the
situation of being off frequency? Went to randomly check 8620+, after
0559 UT; yes, at about 0653 they came on with Island music for maybe
another 10-15 seconds; checked after 0653 for a straight hour, but
they never came back at all. Today heard for probably less than 30
