** CUBA [and non]. 96.7 FM, July 17 at 1646 UT, lexure in Spanish
during big mixed sporadic E and tropo openings; 1658 song with refrain
``Guajira``. 1659, ``Rebelde, La Habana, Emisora de la Revolución,
1700 ``Noticiero Nacional de Radio``. 1711 still in with Cuban
mentions, national weather summary, 1713 ``NN de R`` program ID again,
``en AM, FM y Onda Corta``.

Cuban FM DX is rare here, mostly too far for single-hop sporadic E,
but Habana is possible at 2095 km = 1302 miles, and westward. WTFDA FM
Database has three Rebeldes on 96.7, Bayamo and Moa too far, but this
must be:

CMBA-FM 96.7 CD. HABANA CH NEWS/TALK/VARIETY RADIO REBELDE 1.0 kWH 0.0
kWV 100.0 m HAAT 23-07-16 82-18-54 REBELDE Tx site Loma de la
Cruz/Regla
There are three other non-Rebelde 96.7s, one further west, R Mantua,
but presumably would not be RR relayers at midday. Only 1 kW
horizontal only, not very impressive for a flagship!?

Meanwhile I am hunting for other Cubans! Only one possibility:
99.1, July 17 at 1703, some CCI in Spanish. Besides two low-power
translators, this is the only full-power, and same site as 96.7:
CMBF-FM 99.1 CD. HABANA CH CLASSICAL/OPERA/ARTS RADIO MUSICAL NACIONAL
8.0 kWH only 100.0 m 23-07-16 82-18-54 RADIO TAINO Tx site Loma de la
Cruz/Regla --- R. Taíno is in the ``PS Info`` column, not sure what
that mean in practice.

I am still researching *many* other FM DX logs between 1533 and 1942,
Es from Florida, eastern, central and western MEXICO from Cancún to
Mazatlán; at same time mid-day tropo from Kansas, Nebraska, as far as
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and hope to have it done in less than three
days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, July 17 at 1501, Voice of Martyrs Korea,
Maldives service I hadn`t checked in some weeks after exhausting
speculation about its secret site. Sermon in English, 1503 refers to
``next slide`` but nothing to see! And not yet switched to Dhivehi if
ever. S5/S7 signal which is still a lot better than it should be if
focused on Maldives, from best guess Taiwan; or from anywhere to the
other side of the world (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120 kHz, July 18 at 0140 UT, I`m rechecking
tonight for the unID SS QRM to KMOX. This is just before nominal
sunset 0145 at KETU Catoosa/Tulsa, after which this daytimer must
close, ha2: there is some CCI, but seems more than 8 Hz SAH as counted
last night. At 0412 UT, on caradio while checking for FMDX, now it`s
more like 7 Hz. Inside on the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398, I`m on
it for good, determined to definitely ID it, nulling KMOX to the max,
or min. Between tunes, a YL talx at some length, seems to be
relationship advice. Keeps giving phone number but I can`t copy; does
not start with AC 918. Romantic music plays right thru 0500 UT with no
sign of any ID. At 0523 I bring up the KETU stream
http://streamcontrol.net:16330/; and it does match with a delay. At
0524 finally I hear a full ID on the radio including ``KETU -- 97.9 La
Diferente, la estación --- de Tulsa, Oclajoma``. Call letters
pronounced in English, Toolsa en eSpanish. And promptly also on the
stream. No mention of an AM frequency; who cares, now that they have
an FM translator to wag it, K250BN?! So they may forget it exist, let
alone illegally all-night. Thus my previous log under UNID will be
promoted to OKLAHOMA in the Roundup. Remember, this is SUPPOSED to be
off the air at night, ceding 1120 to clear-channel KMOX St Louis. BTW,
KETU is owned by a grocery store in Arkansas called Las Américas;
don`t be surprised to hear that name in commercials. And how lame is
the slogan ``different`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon July 17 at 2200, REE VG into Maryland with token
English, news including heat wave, followed by an admitted repeat of
Justin`s interview with a female clown. Haven`t run across a mailbag
or `DX program` in many months; has anyone? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 17 at 2200, no signal into UTwente from VOT
English to us, just a weakie presumed China. But on by next check
2216, S9+30/45 with repeat of the `Feeling Supreme` about what to eat
vs osteoporosis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. After the Es FM DX opening July 18, I try the 10m beacon
band and quite a lot of activity including overlaps, only a few of
which I log:

28204 at 1859, W0WF/B, as often heard, 20 watts from St Charles MO

28218 at 1953, VVV VVV DE K4PAR/B --- also heard July 11; not in WJ5O
roster now! But back then I copied from it: 28.2175 K4PAR ? EATONTON,
GEORGIA # ?,? un-coordinated 28 May 19 reported by Richard SWL

The WJ5O roster I have bookmarked is now dated 8 September 2016! So
may have defaulted to a non-updated version.
https://www.qsl.net/wj5o/bcn.htm

28284.8 at 1954, V V V N9TNY/B EN51PS - very slow with long pause.
Also removed from WJ5O roster but when I heard him June 7 was 5 watts
from Geneva IL

28290.8 at 1956, K5TLJ/B, 5 watts from Trumann, Arkansas

28297 at 1958, E E E E E NS9RS ... CHICAGO --- 5 watts from Northfield

** U S A. 9330-, July 16 at 2332 WLCR on WBCQ back on air after a few
days` breakdown, S9+20/30 in English. Later I refine the measurement:
9329.928! and somewhat wavering, July 17 at 0618. This is NOT the
behaviour of the 500 kW SuperStition transmitter, rather one of the
old ``classic`` WBCQ transmitters, habitually off-frequency minus,
occasionally plus, but never exactly on-frequency.

Another measurement July 17 at 1437: 9329.856V, always in English when
I check, now only S9 direct. At 1447 via Maryland remote, S9+10 and
minus 143 Hz = 9329.857, calibration OK at WWV 10000.

Latest twit: ``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 37m [= 1449 UT minus 37 =
1412 UT July 17] Working on the transmitters. 9330 kHz back on the
air. The worlds free speech station is WBCQ. Always. Tune in tonight
on 6160khz for Area61 programming. Then Radio Angela on 5130khz at
10pm eastern. Shortwaves Rules✌️. We do it with real transmitters,
real RF, in real time. Really``

AW never volunteers pertinent info such as substituting one
transmitter for another. Since the WLCR antenna and the classic
245-degree antennas and transmitters are at separate locations, it
might have been difficult or impossible to intermix them. WLCR
language and azimuth usage has been quite flexible but per FCC A22,
9330 would be 250 kW, 180 degrees at 06-08; 250 kW, 290 degrees at
13-15 UT. If both transmitter and SS antenna are out of service,
everything is probably no more than 50 kW on WSW beam (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 1090, July 17 at 0705 UT, HUD and another USG PSA,
then into praise music. Bigsig loops E/W or slightly clockwise, i.e.
KAAY Little Rock. This is NOT its new night power of 80 watts! Sounds
like 50 kW, and can`t be former tight night pattern either,
unfavorable thisaway, but non-direxional 50 kW day pattern. FCC AMQ
still shows 80 watts as a CP to go with ND 50 kW day. KAAY was no
longer able to operate direxionally day or night, thus the drastic
power reduxion at night; but not yet? It was granted May 6. Should not
be that hard to set up an 80-watt transmitter. Nulling it, I hear
Spanish, presumably still XEAU Monterrey (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1120 kHz, July 17 at 0632 UT, KMOX oldtimeradio drama
has heavy QRM from music in Spanish. Normally KMOX is one of the
clearest of clear channels here. I count a SAH of about 8 Hz.
Unreadable announcement/ID? at 0702, otherwise upbeat romantic song
segués till I quit at 0723. Best audible on DX-398 with KMOX nulled,
i.e. NW/SE but hard to get a fix on the QRM. Mexican? At the time I do
not think of the Tulsa market KETU Catoosa, 10 kW DAYTIMER, also 7 kW
critical hours with two different direxional patterns. It`s certainly
a problem for KMOX during CH near sunset; will have to check whether 8
Hz apart then. MWoffset shows 7 Hz apart!:

http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1120
1120 1119.9932 KETU (Catoosa, OK) as of 2019-01-03

2021-11-14 IBOC within 0.1 Hz [no more IBOC]

NRC AM Log says ``Diferente`` is part of slogan, and post facto think
I may have heard it say that. It was pretty steady, like area
groundwave as heard by itself daytimes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 16 at 1447 tune-in via
Argentine remote, LRA36 already on with song, sufficiently good; 1449
ID, more song; 1500 ID with staff names, ``Nacional, la Radio
Pública`` but not the canned official sign-on with quadrilingual
Spanish-only advisory; maybe it ran earlier. 1501 Antártida themesong,
but chopped off air at 1504* before finished. What a disappointment!
Habitually when this happen it never come back, nor do it today
monitored until a full hour be up on the remote, 1548. Nor anything
at 1853 check either.

Gary Pence was hearing it as usual via KFS and also same Argentine

** VANUATU. 7260, 7890, 11835, July 16 at 0635, no signals, not even
JBA carriers from RV. Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, agrees at 0615 on
the WOR iog:

``Vanuatu out of air today, due to COVID-19? Erratic Radio Vanuatu,
out of the air today July 16, checked from 0520, no signal, no carrier
directly here in Reinante and no signal via SDR Kiwi remote receivers
in New Zealand on 7260 and on its other usual frequencies.
Perhaps the absence is due to the announcers being infected with
COVID-19, because yesterday and in the past days I have heard them
coughing insistently while speaking, both the female and the male
announcers.`` Ahh, diagnosis by DX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9275, July 16 at 0627, S9+10/20 of open carrier.
Strongly suspect it`s the new WMLK high-power transmitter testing?
Nominally only at 1700-2200 UT --- except Saturday, and this is now UT
Sabbath! If in this cult, Yahweh`ll get`em for any work on the
Sabbath, they are in for trouble. Or maybe forgot to turn it off
before Friday sundown, and now can`t touch it? Plans were to also run
overnight except Sabbathday, registered 04-09 UT on a much different
frequency, 15150, ignorant of Propagation 101 -- nothing heard on it

** ANGOLA. 4949.720, July 15 at 2152, presumed RNA is JBA S7 mostly
noise into Namibia SDR with signature offset, no signal into RSA SDR
and there are no other Kiwis in southern Africa. Tnx to tip from
Manuel Méndez, Spain, who reported this yesterday to the WOR iog:

``Rádio Nacional de Angola, 4949,7 on air after months without
detecting it --- Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Reinante, NW of
Spain, Tecsun PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters: ANGOLA, 4949.7, Rádio
Nacional de Angola, Mulenvos, 1956-2016, 14-07, comments, songs.
Strong carrier, extremely weak audio, barely audible, best on LSB.``

Tropical Bands Monitor as of 1 July shows this on 4949.7 had been
reported this year only in January and March. Once upon a time RNA ran
all-night and its off-frequency carrier at least could be detected in
deep North America. As of last year, WRTH showed 4950 as 24 h with A
program in Portuguese, nominal 25 kW; while MW 945 had some foreign
languages local evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, July 15 at 1852, LRA36 is on with a
surprise late Friday broadcast; tnx to tips from Hugo López, Chile and
Manuel Méndez, Spain. Sufficient S5/S9 into Argentine SDR. Amid
interview of a guy by the gals who are laughing a lot. He`s talking
about high winds and other weather info, mentions Centro Meteorológico
Marambio, so maybe he`s visiting from that other base. Only QRM
occasional clix. Unfortunately at 1900-2000 UT Fridays I always listen
to KUCO for `The Score` cinemusic in $ tereo. LRA36 is off by my next
chance to check at 2022. Maybe this compensate for totally missing
their scheduled Wednesday 1500 transmission? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. Correxion to a typo not noticed by me until July 14. Is
anyone paying attention? I wish I were before I publish an error!
Second frequency was given as 9873.86 instead of 9673.86; FIXED:

9673.80 / 9673.86, July 9 at 0621, RVM praise music jumping

** EGYPT. 9440, July 15 at 2133 and 2201, NO signal in English from R.
Cairo into UTwente; it`s better than something since something`s
always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA [non]. 11750, July 15 at 1650, no signal of SLBC into
Kuwait SDR; supposedly 1630-1830 with domestic service relay. Had not
paid attention before but checking now whether it be off due to
strife. At 1620-1650, VIRI blox 11750 in Bengali: how could they
possibly know about SLBC since it`s not in HFCC? After Qur`an, 1630
chimes and ``Radio Tehran`` ID. After 1700 into Bengaluru SDR, nothing
either on 11750. I have the vague impression that SLBC 11750 may have
been sporadic already. The other times to seek SLBC are 0030-0100 and
0200-0230 on 11905, often reported from N America. Of course there are
lots of relays via Trincomalee site: Aoki has 36 entries including
SLBC. Other have reported some of those still on.

BTW, the protesters` takeover of SLBC TV I quoted on WOR 2147 turned
out to be a bit exaggerated: they were allowed on for 15 minutes. I
thought it somewhat suspicious that the language signer in the corner
continued during clip unabated. See this via Ron Howard, WOR iog:

WORLD OF RADIO 2147 monitoring: confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday
July 15 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 S9+10/20 direct, preceded by two
overlapping IDs and WOR not starting until 0130.2; presumably same on
7730, S9/+10 and noisy, both direct.

Not confirmed UT Friday July 15 at 0330 on WRMI 7780: rather, previous
WOR 2146 aired again; not sure why, some file mixup? But I have
rechecked that 2147 is ready for all subsequent airings on WRMI thru
July 21.

Also confirmed Friday July 15 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; inaudible at
Bonaire where it`s aimed but S7/9+10 direct, no jamming audible. A
2-minute music buffer at 1428 following the Tourette`s gospel huxter
blaster preceding.

Confirmed NOT airing Friday July 15 at 1815 on IRRS 7290, AM Italia
1323, 918, usual third-Friday pre-emption for some classic rock;
checked via UTwente and Noale SDRs.

Confirmed the MW-only AM Italia airing Friday July 15 at 2030 on 918 &
1323 kHz; 918 at S9/+5 is better than 1323 only S7/S8, and no LW 207;
but by 2031, 918 cuts off and on the air, and/or when on without
modulation. While 1323 seems to stay as I switch back & forth. Next:

** U S A. 9330, July 15 at 0128, no signal from WLCR/WBCQ. Ailing?
Yes, a twit as of 13 hours before 0000 UT July 16:

``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 13h --- Working at the stations. The great
500 KW transmitter is down. Very complex. All of us troubleshooting
now. Free speech radio continues. Angela & Allan on tonight at 8pm
eastern on 7490/6160/5130/3265khz. Support radio-please listen. Your
prayers appreciated. The big one⚡️.``

Well, UT Sat July 16 after 0000, 3265 is JBA S5 at Maryland SDR,
mostly local and storm noise but SAM as carrier +151 Hz = 3265.152v.
3265.153v much better S8/S9 into nearest PEI SDR. Apparently during
AAAWWW original broadcast is only time it`s occasionally onturned.
3265 is not even included in the program guide. A new AAAWWW, since
discussing the Webb Space Telescope images. Angela is not within grasp
of Allan but on a lo-fi remote phone line. I guess he is in ME, she in
FL. Or, ``she is on an errand``.

Almost whole program is Allan lexuring us on the Universe and
Everything, Relativity, with the inevitable Christian undertones. I`m
listening via the 7490v webcast. Datestamp at 0038 as he is from
Studio 1 in Monticello, for 15 July YOOLF 2022. Never heard anything
about what`s wrong with the SuperStition. 0053 into email (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215 & 5890, July 15 at 0630, both these WWCR TOMBS
frequencies are off. Now we see in the program schedules dated July 1
that they are intentionally OFF AIR: WWCR-1 M-F at 0500-1100 3215 and
1100-1130 15825; and WWCR-4 M-F 0500-1200 5890. BUT same remain on air
Saturdays and Sundays with TOMBS. No other Off Air times are shown.
Absent 5890 also deprives us of the leapfrog mixing product over 5935
landing on 5980. It seems that dead Brother Stair`s income is dropping
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 11590, July 14 at 1435, S4/S5 in S Asian language? It`s KTWR
in Kazakh at 1430-1445 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 14 at 0501-0508, another new `Ukraine:
Security Issue` for July 13, Day 140 of Russia`s war, on UR1 via WRMI.
Richard Langley says these resumed on July 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re 12695.5, KFS: ``Hi Glenn. Thanks for including stations
KPH and KFS in your posting. The currently active transmit site for
KFS is Bolinas, CA - co-located with KPH. The KFS transmitter is a
1942 Press Wireless PW15 running about 5 kW. This transmitter was in
service for KFS at the historic (1921) Palo Alto, CA site and was one
of the transmitters used for the "last day of Morse" ceremony on 12
July 1999, the date we commemorate with Night of Nights. We brought it
and a sister PW15 to Bolinas. KFS worked SS AMERICAN VICTORY/KKUI with
multiple QTC in both directions and perhaps other customers. VY 73, RD

Richard, Good to hear from you and tnx for the clarification. I guess
I was confused by the KFS KiwiSDRs being at Half Moon Bay despite the
same callsign. If a receiver site only, that`s certainly a good idea
to be away from all the outgoing RF. 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, July 14 at 0630, WINB is OFF instead of TOMBS which
had been scheduled until 0657. It seems that TOMBS hours have been
reduced here as well as on WRMI, Channel 292 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, July 14 at 0621, JBA carrier, presumed R. Vanuatu
which Manuel Méndez found yesterday active both before and after 0600,
rather than 3945 and harmonix, so still no 11835. NO 2 x 7260 audible
on 14520 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9330, July 14 at 1440, JBA carrier. Hard to believe it`s
the 500 kW WBCQ SuperStition; if so, must be on exciter only during
English. Nothing else shares 9330 except Cuban Spy Numbers at 0700
four days a week, which was there long before WLCR/WBCQ (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15520, July 14 at 0623, S7/S9 open carrier, one of
strongest signals on band, equivalent to 15490 BBC Vatican but with
less fading. Nothing on skeds to account for it, but maybe a test from
Spain which is on 15520 only between 14 and 23. The only other 15520
scheduled is AWR 0400-0430 Amharic via Sri Lanka: possibly that
disrupted by strife, but would not expect such a transpolar signal to
be so steady (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
