** CUBA. 11670, Aug 15 at 0628, S4/S5 of dead air, trace of
modulation. Based on previous behavior, strongly suspect it`s RHC,
where something`s always wrong; altho other continents are also
audible nearby such as 11700 France, 11735 Korea North (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 13710, Aug 15 at 0133, AIR with special coverage of
Independence Day ceremonies from Red Fort: first tried Kuwait remote
but hardly any signal; then to Vadodra SDR in India which I thought
might be in skip zone from Bengaluru. Tnx to advance notice from
Alokesh Gupta that 13710 would be in English but mostly it is not.

I then posted to the WOR iog: ``At risk of spoiling your SWLing, there
is also video here, audio partly in English:
https://prasarbharati.gov.in/live-tv/
For some amusement, turn on the auto-generated English captions while
Modi is speaking Hindi => gobbledygook. Also the clock in LR corner is
wrong for some world cities from Paris to San Francisco...`` It has
Paris on UT+1 instead of 2; New York & SF are both stuck at some other
certain time to the second.

Before Modi started his 82-minute speech, as on TV stream, W in
English and M in Hindi took turns describing the scene, quite a visual
spectacle. Huge audience seated outside with no shade as the morning
sun climbed higher and higher, most of them in heavy clothing. As he
spoke, checked 13710 again, and there was no simultaneous English
translation, nor any available on TV. Every so often, the sometimes
hilarious totally off-topic wacky captions would include something
that may have applied to India. Apparently the bot was listening to
the original Hindi and instead of translating it, displaying English
terms resembling the Hindi syllables. Modi finally finished about 0330
but TV coverage continued to 0350 with huge bilingual credit roll.
Meanwhile, 13710 had been turned off, not sure when (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6954 USB, Aug 15 at 0046, only pirate with a bit of
jazz? into SSTV beepery, S6/S8 vs HSNL; 0049 resume same music,
soul/rock? cut off at 0056 with no ID or any voice announcement. At
slightly earlier times, these say it`s Wasteland Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,100699.0.html

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 97.3, Aug 15 at 1927 UT, quick bandscan on caradio in
case Es MUF ascend: no, but hit something here from ``Catholic Radio``
plugging stuff relating to ``Blessed Stanley Rother``, i.e. the
martyred GM of LV de Atitlán, Guatemala, 2390 -- the Okarche, Okie
proto-saint, so got to be KKNG-FM, the 1 kW OKCR in Blanchard. Quickly
fades, so maybe airplane scatter or just a GW fluke (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7420, UT Mon Aug 15 at 0045, S9+10/20 of nice folk music
on RRI Romanian-language service; while 7375 in English talk rates the
same but sounds weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. Re my Aug 10 report, Richard Langley and Alan Roe say it
must have been the Jeff Healey Band, from Canada, not Joe Healy. Yes,
reviewing my original scribble, it was Jeff, not Joe (Glenn Hauser,

`Ukraine: Security Issue` for Aug 14 = Day 172 of Putin`s war. Again
it`s the accented YL who speaks too fast, including: more shelling; 16
cruise missiles in the Black Sea; Russia has lost 43,500 soldiers,
10,000 military equipments; NY Times says Ukraine is getting new
stronger, long-range weapons, changing tactix; raising funds for 200
drones; Russia using captured foreigners as hostages (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
August 14 at 2001 underway on AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+5/15 into nearby
SDR.

Not confirmed, Sunday August 14 at 2230 on WRMI 5950 where it has been
appearing for months despite being replaced by something else on
skedgrid. Not that either, but now open carrier/dead air at S9+10/20
into Georgia SDR; I believe a gospel huxter had just finished. Dead
air remains until 2255 starts IS & ID loop, to start at ``top of
hour``, tho sked shows 5950 should begin with System L at 2100, and a
new hour of TOMBS daily at 2200-2300. Meanwhile, 5850 is also dead air
at 2230, while all other 5, 7 and 9 MHz frequencies are active. 5850
was supposed to start at 2200. Checked next day at 2255 Aug 15, 5950
is in TOM but not BS himself, // 9455 & 15770, so that will apparently
rule out any more WORs at 2230.

What about 2330 on 5950, scheduled as `Challenge` for an hour daily
from 2300, but last Tuesday WOR was really heard at 2330? Is it really
a 60-minute show? Apparently, on Aug 15 it keeps playing past 2330, so
WOR unlikely on Tue Aug 16, but should still be on 9395 at that hour.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 15 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S5/S7 noisy
into Georgia SDR, better S7/S9 into Maryland. Direct at 0044? S7/S9
but VP including high storm noise level.

``WMRI Europe closure
From: Neil Gates <wmrieurope@gmail.com>

Hello Glenn, WMRI Europe will be ending probably temporarily its
shortwave transmission via Channel 292. The final broadcast will be on
Sunday August 14 2022. I hope to return the station to the air in
early 2023. 73 (Neil Gates, WMRI Europe, Aug 7)

Has been Sundays only 12-16 UT on 9670, WOR circa 1330.

Neil, Sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting me know. I was just
hearing WOR well via remote in Ireland. Thanks so much for including
WOR. Hope WMRI will be back and anticipate news about that.

Also, what about your 24 hour music stream? Will that continue, with
or without I suppose, WOR. And what is your QSL policy? I could prompt
listeners to pick up your final broadcast for QSL. Best wishes, (Glenn
to Neil, Aug 7)

Hello Glenn, The 24 hour music streaming will end following the final
shortwave transmission on 14 August. eQSL verification is available
for reports sent via wmrieurope.com 73 (Neil Gates)

As reported on WORLD OF RADIO 2151``

See USA [and non] WORLD OF RADIO monitoring for the first part of my
report; this time I keep listening to the rest of the broadcast, via
remote in Ireland, antenna ``dipole SW/NE 164 feet``.

1400:15 WMRI Europe ID, as via Rohrbach, Germany, ``making shortwave
great again``, music; 1425 drops to dead air, ACI from 9675. Not until
1444.4 does music chop back on, but keeps going off and on again. 1445
announcement as Animals tune, cuts out. 1452.5 rock music on until
1453.6 dead air again past 1500. Website supposedly displays current
music as ``71-238 The Doors``. 1503 cuts on classic rock with
``Gloria``; sked at 15-16 is ``Mario Marconi``. 1510.5 DA, 1512 music;
recheck 1541 music; 1542 Mario Marconi says ``back next Sunday at 12
UTC``. 1554 sign-off ``until next Sunday``, tune loops, from MASH?
until 1600 right into `Encore` from Radio Tumbril, which I already
heard better last night at 0100 on WRMI.

It seems that WOR is the only spoken-word program on WMRI Europe. No
dead-air interruptions were heard after I tuned in and can only hope
there were not before. Unfortunate that the final transmission was so
interrupted. Can`t tell where the problem was, from HQ somewhere in
UK, on the way to Germany, or at Ch 292; but not the remote receiver
which kept getting the signal whether modulated or not. We look
forward to WMRI`s return next year (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 17790, Aug 14 at 0623, gospel music at S9/+20
direct, the SSOB by far, as nightmiddle propagation continues on this
hiband, then French signoff by RMA = AWR, with address in Côte
d`Ivoire, and off by 0630. Aimed at W Africa, thUSward beyond.

17530.025, Aug 14 past 0634 now becomes the SSOB, BBC English and
always off-frequency, scheduled 0600-0800. Also several more JBA
carriers on this band. I also scan 21 MHz band just in case but no
carriers there, not even JBAs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), Aug 14 at 0500-0507, UR1 via WRMI
immediately into English `Ukraine: Security Issue` with its
ever-dramatic music also bedding thruout with fadeup transitions; for
Aug 13, day 171 of Putin`s war, S9 into Maryland SDR, this time by
heavily-accented YL who also speaks too fast to follow very well,
including: frontline stretches 2500 km; 193 somethings in past 24
hours; Ukraine destroys occupier`s logistic centers; Russians
destroyed thousands of homes and apartment houses (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday August 14 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+12 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 14 at 0325 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+15 but noisy into nearby SDR, about 7 minutes into so started circa
0318.

As usual, no signal direct to OK at this hour on 9670, but: Also
confirmed Sunday August 14 from 1354 tune-in until 1400:15 on WMRI
Europe via Channel 292, Germany, 9670, so started slightly late at

** U S A. 15770, Aug 14 at 0320, surprised to find this WRMI daytime
frequency on air in the night, as I bring up the Missouri remote to
check WOR, which was last tuned to 15770 for checking after 1930. To
be sure it`s not an SDR anomaly, I find the same into Maryland remote
at S6/S7. Soon obvious it`s TOMBS, // 5850 et al.; 0335 kids singing,
then Alex Scourby, Bibling as if it were incontrovertible.

WRMI skedgrid shows 15770 only at 11-24 UT. Forgot to turn off #9
transmitter? Or maybe a propagation test? Hardly anything else on 19m
at this hour. I keep checking, still at 0422, 0457 S7/S9 gospel music,
but by 0507 dead air, carrier still on, S9/+10 into Maryland. Direct
at 0628+ it`s a JBA carrier still2 on. What gives? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Aug 14 at 0621, quick bedtime check confirms RV
still thirdharmonicizing JBA. On Aug 5, Walt Salmaniw with his super
setup on Haida Gwaii was able to hear the fourth harmonic on 15780,
but not the fifth on 19725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 1931 UT August 14

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Aug 13, via Buenos Aires remote
start listening at 1440, but nothing until cuts on S7/S9 at 1523 amid
music, 1524 formal sign-on, quadrilingual, for this ``Ciclo Radial
2022 Esperanza Audaz``, staff names and themesong. 1529 historical
items; 1532 song; 1535 ``Radio Arcángel San Gabriel, su compañía``,
then ``live`` YL chat starting with María, for this programa No. 15 of
Esperanza Audaz, referring to other bases, some transitory, about
Melchior this time, as same stuff I heard on Wednesday. So I suspend,
especially since a 137 MHz sporadic E patch east of here beckons me to
the FMDX caradio --- yet nothing but tropofringers. Recheck for LRA36
at 1605, off already (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9664.935, Aug 13 at 0619, RVM with music; has been fairly
stable around here for several nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9818.791, Aug 13 at 0630, presumed R 9 de Julho, JBA on
signature skewed frequency and slightly wavering. Last measurement a
dekanight ago was .793, margin of error (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

various other attax; civilian casualties in Mykolaiv; over 43K Russian
casualties so far; Russia recruiting mercenaries from Syria, Mali,
Laos, Uzbekistan [what a motley group]; Zap. nuclear plant still being
shelled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 347 MCW kHz, Aug 13 at 0625 UT, AFK, 25-watt ND beacon at

in winter and now the central storm noise abated abit (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: confirmed NOT on
9395 anymore at 0130 UT Saturday August 13, as per revised sked. Also,
7730 is *on* the air after 0130 with algo, unlike 24 hours ago when
WOR should have aired there.

Also confirmed UT Saturday August 13 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
5130 minus 27/28 Hz into Maryland SDR, = 5129.9725, S9/+10.

Also confirmed on WRN North America webcast, Sat Aug 13 after 1600 and

Still not confirmed on WRMI 15770, Sat Aug 13 at 1950, as still on

** U S A. 96.7, Aug 13 at 1550 UT, after nothing much, suddenly a
strong signal with football talk, about TX Rangers, DFW, and soon JBA
again, only KTCK-FM Flower Mound TX, which really gets out when it
catches a wave, as also heard Aug 11 at 1554, 381 km = 246 miles.
Faded in and out like sporadic E which I was hoping for, with a
137-MHz MUF patch east of here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

98.3, Aug 13 at 1654 UT, Open carrier, dead air, must be from 97 kW
semi-local KQZQ, Kiowa KS, just a few km and fewer miles from OK.
However, pretends to be a Pratt station, site more than halfway from
Kiowa, north of Medicine Lodge. Still dead for a few minutes, not
rechecked until 1935 when it`s alive with country. BTW, Kiowa was the

Gallego language respectable in 1863; and songs. Died at age 49 of
uterine cancer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.002, Aug 12 at 2200, VOT English, VG S9+35/40 into
UTwente, VG signal and modulation, no whine or other complaints this
time, but because of simulSpain and BBC World News America on
PBS/OETA, I can`t pay attention until 2231 when `Feeling Supreme` is
opening, this time about food order ---? Heavily-accented YL. No, it`s
*Foot Odor* remedies starting with soaking them in lemon water. Wow,
such a helpful SW station, info provided nowhere else! Same catchy
theme plays at end 2237; into Turkrock. 2242 DYKT? = `Did you know
that?` 14-km-long beach, and a Roman era tunnel 1380 m long, 7 m hi, 6
m wide, for water. Brief DYKT O&C theme includes beeps. After usual
disorganized recitation of English sked, chopped off air at 2255*
following only first two notes of IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, Aug 12 at 0500-0505, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` with the too-fast-talking-heavily-accented guy,
including: Russia has a shortage of manpower for the war; there should
be a Nuremberg-like trial of war criminals; more shelling of power
plant could lead to nuclear disaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: NOT confirmed,
first broadcast UT Friday August 12 at 0130 on WRMI 7730 because it`s
OFF THE AIR! Tuned in at 0124, no signal to UTwente nor Maryland,
still off at several chex, but back ON by 0159 in time for Brother
Scare, replacing R. Liberty at 0200-0300 but still at 0400-0500 per
skedgrid, but 7730 is supposed to be on 1530-0630+, so hope this be
only a one-time anomaly, especially since this happens to be the only
WOR airing to the NE on 44-degree azimuth, good for the east coast and
Europe, and S Asia? As WOR is no longer anytime on 15770 either tho
still shown on skedgrid as Saturday 1930!

Confirmed, however, first broadcast UT Friday August 12 at 0130 on
WRMI 5850 to the NW; only S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, S9+30 into Missouri
but stormnoisy, as also direct. Best into Georgia SDR at S9+25 and
less noisy.

Also confirmed UT Friday August 12 at 0330 on WRMI 7780 - again on
Georgia SDR but no signal now feared also off; but on and audible into
Missouri, S7/S9+10, noisy and not solid; despite way offbeam to the
SW, best almost northward into Maryland, S5/S8.

Also confirmed Friday August 12 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct and
no jamming audible. 1428 preceded by ME? music buffer.

Also confirmed Friday August 12 from 1815.4 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz only, good into nearby Noale SDR, with CCI in German from
Romanian minolity service, sometimes overcoming during fadeup circa
1839; meanwhile the alt. or ex-frequency, 918 kHz has NO signals to
cause QRM! //7290 via Bulgaria also, not checked until 1823 but
presumably on from 1801.

Additional monitoring before and after: 1323 kHz from 1753 tune-in,
songs in Spanish, unknown program or fill; 1759 opens ``Country
Jamboree``, but shortly it`s ``Country Style USA``, a US Army
produxion, so originally on AFRTS? 1800 ``IRRS SW Milano, signing on``
which must be confusing for listeners on MW which is already on.
`Feature Story News` including 1803 `Spotlite`. 1805 UN News. 1808.5
songs in English. 1814 open show of Irish music, soon chopped off 1815
for ID and 1815.4 WOR. Afterwards: 1844 song, ID, 1845 more music till
7290 chopped off at 1857*; 1323 continues to 1859 ``IRRS SW signing
off`` offering QSL for reports to Milano PO Box which is otherwise
denied, and Verdi theme, QRM from brief tone presumably Romania
closing; 1323 still going at 1902..

Missed checking the WOR 2151 repeat at 2030 Fri Aug 12 on 1323 only,
but has been quite reliable especially when 1815 had succeeded. Did
anyone hear it? Note that next Friday 19th, being the third in August,
WOR will be pre-empted by some monthly music show on SW & MW at 1815,
but still at 2030 on 1323 only. Next:

Tim Gaynor notifies us Aug 13: `` Unique Radio Australia off air ---
Hi everyone, Unique Radio will be on hold for a while whilst I move,
due to a new job in radio. I will let you when it's back. The internet
where I'm located isn't so good on uploads and this is a problem. I
have tried to upload several times, on podcasts and they were really
too slow and stopped. So whilst I investigate and search for a decent
building and better internet speed, the station will be on hold.
However, Jen will continue on her streamed programs as usual. This
also applies to the shortwave. Thanks for your understanding. Tim``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9329.938, Aug 12 at 0630, WLCR/WBCQ in English now
off-frequency-minus rather than +plus, S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490), Aug 13 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW` is another
rerun of a rerun originally July 16, a quadriweek ago since he starts
off referring to the first Webb spacescope images which were released
July 12. Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Aug 12 at 0626, RV, 3 x 3945, with music and
Bislama talk, ``b`long`` frequently, the genitive preposition, S5/S8
and with side-tuned BFO, double-pitch from apparent unstable
transmitter, rather than external QRM.

7890, Aug 12 at 0633, JBA on 2 x 3945 with similar warble.
And also confirmed as inaudible on 3945 itself (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6079.997, Aug 12 at 0636, algo JBA; I have assumed this
be VOA English via SAO TOME at 0400-0700, but it used to be much
further off-frequency. Checking because Manuel Méndez, Spain,
reported: ``6080, Radio Marumby, Curitiba, BRAZIL, 0640-0653, 07-08,
Portuguese, religious songs and comments. 15421``. EiBi shows this one
with strange hours of 1000-0800, but Aoki as 24 hours. Normally I`d
not consider 3 Hz off as consequential, but what about VOA? MM had I=5
no QRM, and the language, content clinch it as not VOA, so we need
exact current measurements of frequency of both, perhaps at other
hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0017 UT August 13

** EGYPT. 9439.995+, August 10 at 2115, R. Cairo, S9+25/40 into
UTwente, humwhine but timesignal cuts thru 1:20 late at 2116:20! 2117
YL undermodulated announcement in English, almost readable with
program summary; 2118 news? Autonotch helps reduce the whine, i.e. vs.
self-QRM rather than external het/QRM, but it also increases
distortion level of what`s left. 2119 talk briefly sounds like another
language, maybe French, why? Not Arabic. English talk mixed with music
so guess not news, yet. 2130 another timesignal, this time only 35
seconds late. Of course only a few seconds of each would be due to
internet delay. Something`s always egregious in Egypt. As far as I
monitor today. Date correct, omitted from last report (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 350 MCW kHz, Aug 11 at 0658 UT, RG, ND beacon
at OKC is back on air after missing yesterday.

341 MCW kHz, Aug 11 at 0700 UT, OIN, ND beacon at OberlIN, Kansas is
JBA but not local EI EnId on same frequency. But by 0703 can hear them
both alternating, JBA; with different periods, at first the three dits
from Enid must have been mixed with those from OIN (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, Aug 11 at 0500.5-0507.6, UR1 via WRMI, VG into
Maryland SDR, with `Ukraine: Security Issue` for Aug 10, Day 168 of
Putin`s war; by YL announcer, not the one with perfect English, but
sufficient: they never ID themselves; including: nuclear power plant
concerns, with 6 reactors supplying 20% of Ukraine`s power. IAEA not
so worried? Sham referendum in Kherson for joining Russia. Ukraine`s
counter-offensive could be rapid once fully supplied with weapons
which have been arriving too slowly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2150 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday August 11 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S6/S8 into Maryland SDR with
storm crashes, but at 0154 better S9/+12 into Bonaire with no
crashes.

NOT confirmed, UT Thursday August 11 at 0130 on WRMI 9395 via Maryland
SDR: instead, a DX program in Italian! About Vietnam Democracy Radio.
No, not the late Roberto Scaglione, but RAE which is on new August 7
schedule at 0100-0200 UT Thursdays --- and I see that our other 0130
on 9395, UT Saturdays is also replaced, by Argentina, in Spanish.

** U S A. DXMAP Es MUF spikes 137 MHz east of here, so worth checking
for FM DX on the caradio, Aug 11 at 1554 UT. Trouble is, tropo is also
way up from OK and KS, boosting many semi-open frequencies with
spoilers. No Es DX heard in next few minutes, but at least a couple
from TX and NE, as in WTFDA FM DB:

96.7 at 1554, ad with (972) area code, i.e. Dallas:
KTCK-FM 96.7 FLOWER MOUND TX SPORTS RADIO 1310 & 96.7, THE TICKET 90.0
kW 621.0 m All Sports all the time - KTCK The Ticket - //KTCK 1310 ---
381 km = 236 miles

100.3 at 1558, ``KZ 100`` sung ID, country:
KZEN 100.3 CENTRAL CITY NE COUNTRY KZ-100 100.0 kW 562.0 m Nebraska FM
NEBRASKA'S BIGGEST FM KZ-100 --- 525 km = 326 miles

92.3 at 1559, St Joseph`s Indian School ad, not so bad any more,
stjo.org then ``Z92 KMZE`` so it`s only Woodward OK, the main fringer
here. Where is it? Unsaid, finally found at website: ``We are located
in central South Dakota, where Interstate 90 crosses the Missouri
River. Our community, Chamberlain, has a population of approximately
2,500 people.`` and it`s for Lakota (Sioux), hardly an Okie tribe, but
I`m not getting SD. Is it Catholic as name implies? Yes, admittedly in
the FAQ.

96.7 at 1604, Kansas political ad has taken over from TX: besides two
translators, one of two ``full`` powers, but not very, surprisingly
close to each other, 127 km = 79 miles, north of here:
KSOB relays:KMMM-1290 96.7 LARNED KS TRUE COUNTRY - THE MIGHTY 1290
3.0 kW 81.0 m --- 226 km = 141 mi
OR:
KMPK 96.7 MCPHERSON KS ADULT CONTEMPORARY MIX 96.7 6.0 kW 75.0 m ---
221 km = 137 mi

So these few logs cover a north/south span of 906 km = 562 miles,
city-to-city, not site-to-site. I also heard one Perseid meteor
scatter burst somewhere. Thursday is WORLD OF RADIO produxion day so I
can`t spend hours of FMDX digging; but MUF soon falls anyway (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835 & much weaker 7890, Aug 11 at 0657, RV harmonix of
3945 reconfirmed still active. See Ron Howard`s reports on the WOR iog
of content details (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
