** CANADA. 2749 USB, Aug 29 at 0309, YL in French, no doubt marine
weather, one of the major 2 MHz Canadian frequencies still in use, but
inaudible/noised out all summer. Now it`s still vs high storm noise
level but audible; nothing on the other, 2598 USB at the moment.

https://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
shows of the four NS CCG stations sharing 2749, the one scheduled
before 0309 is from 0240, VCS-21, Halifax, 1500 watts - but no
languages specified unlike some of the others. I wonder how uptodate
this ref be, since atop it`s dated 2020-05-13 and abottom is (C) 2020.
Latest EiBi, however shows plain old VCS Halifax in English and French
at 0240-0310! All of them are in a break between 0500 & 0740: do these
shift with DST or not? There is a CCG website of such info I have lost
track of, presumably current (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 29 at 0312, R. Progreso is OFF; something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba. 5025 Rebelde is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 29 at 0316, RHC English at S9+30/40 but sup/torted,
and still no 9700. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Following my
previous report, David E Crawford, FL, replied Aug 29 at 1512:

``I haven't heard any daytime RHC during random checks the past week
or so, at least in the 1400+ Z range, nor the return of any midday
HM01 so far. One wonders if RHC is finally on their terminal "run HF
to failure" phase, following which they become an internet-only
service. 5025 ison today, so-so modulation quality and fair signal``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2258)

** CUBA. 9790, Aug 29 at 0324, CRI relay manages to modulate in

** U S A. 5085, Aug 29 at 0313, WTWW is off already; had been heard
after 0100. Evidently current much curtailed schedule is 0100-0300 -
except on UT Saturdays I hope until 0330 to contain WORLD OF RADIO.
However, 5085 and all other frequencies OFF at 0142 check August 30.
May need to be off while working on some of transmitters (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2258)

** U S A. 5800, Aug 29 at 0313, WRMI in English with Freedom Synergy
Radio ID, the Miami-based pro-Taiwan, anti-PRC program, no jamming
audible. Guess what, when I check 9955 at 0325 it`s also // there,
S9+30/40 with better modulation than usual. Contrary to own websked:
System B at 0300 shows Prague in English and French on 9955. System H
also shows 9955 with Pragues. While WRMI-10 transmitter does have FSR
as System B on 5800! Something`s odd at Okeechobee. By 0638, 9955 is a
JBA carrier, as always weaker than 9455 & 9395 with more favorable
azimuths thisaway, but they are also VP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2258)

** U S A. 5925-5945, Aug 29 at 0315, noise field surrounding 5935 WWCR
with DGS, like I noted earlier around 9980; in addition to various
spurtones out of dirty 5935, constantly varying with modulation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9742-9760 approx., Aug 29 at 0323, OTH radar clickery. Altho
INTRUDING into broadcast bands they seem to avoid BC signals out of
own self-interest (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1110, Aug 29 at 0646 UT, `Coast to Coast AM` on KFAB Omaha
is running 5 seconds behind weaker 1100 WTAM Cleveland. I think the
delay be not always thus, so now I have something to compare with
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1160, Aug 29 at 0638 UT, take that, LDS, instead of KSL,
Christians vs Christians, dominant signal is Spanish preacher
reverbing, 0656 ID as R. María, outro program as `Reflecciones
Bíblicas`. Now there is a sesquiHz SAH = 90/minute, probably KSL
attempting to regain. Refers to radiomaria.org, lots of info there, HQ
in Roma, but no obvious station list! 0700 breaks for ID in English,
KCTO with two FM frequencies, 100.5 & 90.3? Am I correct that FCC
rules do not require legal IDs to be in English? Radio-locator.com:
``KCTO-AM also broadcasts its primary channel from these 2
transmitters
K257DZ  99.3 FM Kansas City, MO (99 watts)
K263BU 100.5 FM Kansas City, MO(250 watts)``

0702 back to Spanish for ``2 de la mañana`` timecheck and long list of
R. María stations, most/all FM. KCTO is in Cleveland MO, U4 5000/230
watts, yet overcomes U1 50/50 kW KSL. We explored this in great detail
when last logged May 27-28; see:

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING -- Guest commentary by Greg Hardison:

``It seems maybe 90% of Amerikans cannot grasp the fact that, both
Socialism and Communism are ECONOMIC, not Political entities! True,
many Communist heads-of-state have not been able to resist turning
their realms into full-blown dictatorships — which again, too many
Amerikans would be happy with (led by Guess Who - not the rock
group!), yet without the actual benefits of Socialism.

Our own limited Socialism gives us publicly maintained roads, the
Interstate Highway System (13 hours from Atlanta to the Canadian
border at Detroit), Fire Departments and other first responders —
including Ambulance crews, streetlights, gas and electricity in many
cases, the nation's finest WiFi system (in Chattanooga, Tennessee),
Medical Research including those dreaded, treacherous vaccines (so
it's better to have Polio everywhere, such as what we had 70 years
ago?), or Medical Research which developed implanted cardiac
defibrillators (greatly reducing the number of deaths due to
Ventricular Tachycardias, which otherwise cut life-expectancies down
to about fifteen minutes).

Socialism means your health care is a guaranteed right, not a
commodity or a luxury like, say, a Lamborghini. If you can't afford a
Lamborghini, then you don't buy one. In Amerika, if you can't afford
the necessary health care, some just die & move out of the way in the
process. Otherwise you have to find a way to game the system; either
way, the rich bitches just get fatter.

Under Socialism, schoolchildren have enough to eat thanks to their
local school — but in our non-Socialist "red states", free school
lunch programs are being eliminated, while the kids are fed manmade
organized religion instead. Ironically, without the Socialism produced
in tax-exemptions, many religious establishments would not even
exist.

In fact, without "Socialism", the "red states" wouldn't exist at all,
as much of their public funding is provided by tax dollars collected
and collated in the "blue states". How would they even pay for all
those postings of the King James-Christian Ten Commandments in public
classrooms? ​There, enough of that from me--but what have I left
out?``

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 28 at 0627, S9+40/45 of dead air from RHC,
supposedly English frequency usually useless if on earlier.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. But 5025, R. Rebelde is still
modulating. The Other Side:

``DDC Today: In Cuba, the mask is falling off
READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW August 20, 2024 OPINION

Between its loss of control, the military's disconnection from the
rest of the apparatus, and runaway corruption, it is increasingly
difficult for Castroism to conceal its decomposition.
RAFAELA CRUZ | La Habana
Image of Fidel Castro in a wet newspaper. (Diario de Cuba)

The greatest nightmare of any totalitarian regime is a loss of
control, something already evident in Cuba, now like a boat adrift
"without a rudder or a captain."

The national currency, once one of the cornerstones of state control,
today gores salaries and pensions with inflationary impiety while an
impotent Government watches the bull from the stands, knowing that it
is powerless to deal with a tumultuous foreign exchange market in the
hands of traitorous frontmen.

These actors, fattened ticks managing "private" companies with access
to infrastructure "owned by the whole people," but that only enrich
them, reveal themselves to be untouchable by the Government,
conspiring and profiting by speculating against the peso. There is no
honor among thieves...``

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 28 at 2201, NO signal direct in token English
from SNR; 17715 is VP S8/S9 for S America, unusable, like 15520 for ME
off the back; and 15390 for Africa is still OFF too. However at 2204 I
get a JBA carrier on 17855 much weaker than 17715, maybe RNE.
Propagation seems OK, e.g. music on 17880 which would be CRI Beijing
site in Spanish. At 2222 I try UTwente: 17855.002- is JBA also weaker
there than 17715.012 S7/S8. 15520.000 S7/S9 and 15390 off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, Aug 28 at 2159, VOT not off the air with IS,
2200+ timesignal 2 or 3 sex later than WWVH, s/on as if the 1230 on
17620. Something`s always awry at Ankara. But this time direct
reception is sufficient, S9+20/30, unusually unlike simulSPAIN q.v. on
any of its remaining frequencies. But by 2221 for convenience I`m on
UTwente when measured, S9+35/40 with music. 2225 multi-lingual ID
filler reel. 2227 music. 2232 `The Middle East & Turkey` penned by an
expert in international relations, about development of T`s own fighter
jet called Khan [sp?]. 2238 music. 2242.5 `Sports Panorama`. 2249
``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2250 song. 2253 s/off ignoring SW, IS
chopped after a few notes by 2254*, no finesse. Something`s always

join in progress Scriptures for America Worldwide; I had been standing
by since 0055 for it to show. Recheck 0325, already off. Earlier in
afteve, still nosigs on 9930, 9475, 5920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Aug 28 at 0620, WRMI back in Spanish presumed RFI
relay as not scheduled, instead of fill music last night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Aug 28 at 1510, NO signal direct from WBCQ with WLCR,
what`s wrong? 500 kW ought to provide at least a JBA carrier even in
worst propagation. At 1650 zero signal into UTwente where it`s aimed,
57 degrees in HFCC; but blasting into Maryland SDR. At 2204 direct,
JBA much weaker than 9350 WWCR blaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9970-9990, Aug 28 at 2210 direct, noise field surrounds
extremely strong 9980 WWCR with TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 780, Aug 28 at 0640 UT, WBBM ``Newsradio 105.9`` with
`Stardate`, 2-minute feature from McDonald Observatory, TX. Maybe a
regular spot. We normally catch it at 1704 UT M-F on KANU=KPR webcast,
or 1800v on KUCO; or daily 1730v on ``QXFM`` TX webcast. Many more
chances, and lots of stations run it more than once a day:
https://stardate.org/radio/affiliates
but I`m afraid much of that is outdated or wrong. There is no ``KCOU``
91.1 in Enid! This time not shown for WBBM. Better check each
station`s linked website, but some ignore a mere 2-minute item, if
they deign to provide anything resembling a plain old program
schedule. Stardate really pushes people to ``subscribe`` for a price,
but one may read the latest script and then link to some previous ones
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. A 10/kHz bandscan in USB audiblizes LAHs - low
audible heterodynes on several frequencies due to perpetually
off-frequency stations, some of which have been identified before, Aug
28 at 0635-0640 UT. No definite IDs now; no exact measurements here

KSNS, Medicine Lodge KS. Also sometime on Aug 27 but neglected to log.
DA was logged on Aug 23. Haven`t checked enough to know whether it`s
been totally dead since then or sporadic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0000 UT August 29

** CHINA. 21800, Aug 27 at 0251, Chinese at S6/S9 and the OSOB, CNR1
jammer against Sound of Hope. Also many unID but probably Asian
sigs/carriers on 17 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA [and non]. 28433 USB, Aug 27 at 2212, TI2JJP, José,

Brazilian on 28400 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 891 & 889 kHz, Aug 27 at 0253, JBA carriers hetting 890 with
WLS and LA mixture presumably Cuban and also source of spurs. Should
Algeria 891 fundamental also be in there, I never hear any beat so
would have to be on exactly same frequency as Cuba. No 9/kHz carriers
now in full bandscan vs HSNL. Recheck at 0636: still both 889 & 891
detectable. Spurs sourced to Cuba are just an assumption, one of two
890 stations there, but could be elsewhere in Carib/LAm or even US?
Need to triangulate them or something more certain (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 27 at 0634, S9+25/30 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde, as more often than not at late-night. Is no one paying
attention at station? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Earlier
at 0530 same date, Wolfgang Bueschel reported ``wonderful audio
quality`` on 5024.994 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15230, Aug 27 at 2206, RHC Portuguese not off the
air, S9/+10 but somewhat sup/torted; not noted on any other frequency
now. Something`s always wrong at RHC. There is a sig on 11760 at 2217,
S9+10 with flutter, sounds like Chinese music. O, per EiBi it`s CRI
``Portuguese`` via site x = Xi`an? at 22-23 which of course is nothing
but fill music for years; like via Cuba on 13650 at 23-24, not checked
lately. Commies vs Commies! Almost (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Aug 27 at 0638 UT, and still past 0700, local KCRC
Enid in dead air again; and so is sibling station 1640 KZLS, but
someother talking station is audible underthat, anything but Biloxi
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Aug 27 at 0332, MWV, S9+20 English discussion of
how WCB has LPFM in Greenland? and SW stations. This is service to
India, but VG signal here despite way off the side of beam; antipodal
and trans-equatorial advantage ruling (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.411, Aug 27 at 1626, Qur`an at S9+10/20 into
UTwente; no chirping or other disruptions now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 26 at 2201, token English from SNR, VG
S9+20/30 direct starting news. Also audible on 17715, 15520, but no
signal on fourth frequency 15390 for Africa. Something`s not right at
Noblejas. Feature after 2210 is interview about photography and
exhibitions of such (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Aug 27 at 1517, REE only frequency on, for ME, as
15390 for Africa has been absent since Aug 25; and the other two,
17715 & 17855 do not start until 1800 on weekdays. Something`s
notright at Noblejas. 1958, 2203 chex: still no 15390 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 21270 USB, Aug 26 at 2209, EA2K, José in southern
Spain making quick contacts among many phone signals, pileups on
``15`` m, apparently some contest. QRZ.com: ``EA2K Spain flag Spain,
Jose Ignacio "Jose", CADRETE (ZARAGOZA), Spain``. A few minutes
earlier had a deep Argentine on 28445 USB, no beacons on 10; never
phones but some digitals around 24900 on 12. Almost as if voice have
been banned on this band like `30` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 26 at 2200, JBA carrier direct, presumably VOT
attempting to come up, but not even that at 2210 recheck, nor later in
hour into UTwente, nor 9875 nor 11795 previous errors. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. Meanwhile Romania had a good signal
direct on 11800; why don`t I listen to that?

However, the final VOT English repeat is not off the air, UT Aug 27 at
0336 on 7275 with the inimitable tones of Efsun, S9+20/30 including
HSNL on NAm frequency, JBA on 6165 to SAs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Aug 27 at 2158, VOT English not off the air, IS
and IDs, S9+20/30 direct and sufficient. Olds leads with latest? Gaza
casualty toll; and TRT cameraman injured in Gaza. 2231 into UTwente
when measured, S9+50 as Efsun the accentuated is reading a Weekly
Commentary - or is it Analysis? What`s the diff? 2240 outro/intro as
the former, music. 2245 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`, Tawas? charred
yogurt, made from sheep milk and carmelized. 2247 multi-lingual ID
filler reel. 2250 music. 2253 s/off ignoring SW, something`s always
awry at Ankara, IS. 2256 restart IS but off 2256.5* before Germanizing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non?]. 17630, Tue Aug 27 at 1630, no signal yet into

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Aug 27 at 0328, WTWW is off already; it had been on
earlier tonight circa one sesquihour earlier check (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9955, UT Tue Aug 27 at 0645, WRMI with Israeli? music
instead of mis-scheduled RFI Spanish relay, featuring accordion, soon
switch to ukulele, song maybe in Arabic? Apparently part of their
music filler loops. 0659.5 ID and 0700 into Polish Radio External
Service out of WRN in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1370, Aug 27 at 0637 UT tuneby in bandscan, ``KWIQ`` --
easiest DX ID ever? No, the real KWIQ is on 1020 in Moses Lake,
Washington, with ESPN. Maybe mentioned on that net? But no ESPN
correlation on 1370. O well (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11550, Aug 27 at 0331, RTTY warbling atop a broadcaster,
talk and music, totalling S9+10/20 direct. Probably Kurdo/Turco radio
war at the edge of variable range for Dengê Gel via ARMENIA and
Erdoğan jammer, but which don`t start until 0400 per EiBi (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15169-15191, Aug 27 at 2205, OTH radar clickery, typical
22-kHz bandwidth, not strong and no broadcasters hit but could bother
Inconfidência, Brasil if active on 15190+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2327 UT August 27

** 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)

** U S A. 5085, Aug 26 at 0332, checking whether this WTWW be on air,
yes, but chop off air midword a few sex later about 0332.6*! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010 & 9955, Aug 26 at 0404, both these WRMIs are OFF, as
happens only on UT Mondays, othernights still past 0700, perhaps
all-night, totally contrary to own websked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, Aug 26 at 0630, JBA carrier hetting 890 WLS;
cannot find a match on 889, so presumably ALGERIA. No other TA
carriers checking a few prime spots such as 531, 711, 774 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
