** CUBA. 15140, Aug 21 at 1815, S5/S7 of dead air, in Arabic? Did not
get around to checking if Englishing after 1900. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. Re 11610, R. Feda on Madagascar World Voice: what does
Feda mean? Google will only translate it from Turkish, not Arabic, as
sacrifice; reverse translation from sacrifice to Arabic yields:
tashia. I can`t find any explanation in WRTH or online. R Feda seems
to exist separately from MWV, based in Lebanon (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 21 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9+20/30 direct and the other 3 audible; preview second topic about
preserving the Iberian wolf. 2202 news leads with killings of children
in Toledo, hate crimes; 31 women have been murdered in Spain by
spouses or exes; M-pox; 117-year-old woman dies. 2207 first feature is
about rights of victims` families vs media portrayals of ``true
crimes``. What a downer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 21 at 2158, no signal direct from VOT English,
but *2200 JBA S6/S7, unusable, so over to SPAIN. 2205, 11785 is off,
gave up, nor heard later in hour even unto UTwente. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, Aug 20 at 2329, this WTWW with TOMBS is off already,
tho had been on earlier at 2211. Now NO WTWW frequencies are on air;
nor after 0100 does 5920 appear.

George McClintock sends me this the morning of Aug 21: ``WTWW: SW100
belts --- Glenn, The SW100 Harris #3 transmitter lost 2 drive belts
that allow control of the IPA and plate motors. Spares were replaced
and are now working fine. The last SW100 problem is the error light
that stays on preventing the high voltage from being applied.  I have
not been able to correct this problem YET.`` {with photos} {2 minutes
later:} ``The IPA driver and the plate tune motor belts being
replaced. Not an easy job.
George McClintock 8-21-2024``

Circa 1830 Aug 21 he needs me to monitor as he attempts to bring
transmitter up on 9930; may not be getting accurate frequency
readouts. I get a big blob of extreme distortion circa 9790-9795,
confirmed as WTWW when he cuts modulation momentarily. Correlates with
a JBA carrier on 9475 when he is trying to come up there. Something is
very wrong with this other transmitter. But at 2130 he notifies me
that he did get ``5`` to come up, presumably 5085, so WOR could appear
as scheduled UT Saturday at 0300; but no telling what more might
happen in meantime. He says the other transmitter will be out for
maybe two weeks awaiting manufacture and shipment of replacement part
from Germany. Meanwhile he has built a backup studio at the site.
Another check about 2230 and 2355: no signals on 5085, 5920, 9475 or
9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Rebelde, yet again; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Aug 20 at 2214, really nice ME/Arabic song at
S9+20/30, seems secular, as a WCB tactic like on KNLS to lull victims
into a false sense of rationalism, but then R. Feda ID in Arabic, and
presumably Christian evangelism. VG signal as usual from one of
furthest SW sites on Earth, closest to antipodal from here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY 11785.009+, Aug 20 at 2157, VOT not off the air, IS & ID,
S9+10/20 direct and fairly sufficient for direct listening, noise
level a little lowered; 2200 timesig and s/on pretending it`s 1230 on
17620; preview of topix: Review of Turkish Press, That`s Why, Weekly
Commentary, Turkey`s Geomarked Products. They are not always so
specific at s/on. 2201 news begins with another Israeli raid on Gaza.
At 2228 into UTwente when measured, S9+50, multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2230 `Weekly Commentary` read by Efsun the accentuated. I simply
cannot understand the name of the writer nor his background apparently
in some detail, nor am I going to strain to comprehend the content but
seems to be about -- guess what? Israel & Gaza. 2242 music. 2247
`Turkey`s Geomarket Products` about Hanak? string cheese - could not
catch the animilk source. 2250 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music.

** U S A. Just heard from George McClintock, 1720 UT Tuesday August
20: one of the WTWW transmitters failed, and awaiting part to be
shipped in from Germany. In the meantime, only on the air is 9930 with
Brother Stair. But not yet on air today. Evidently all 9475/5085
programming is suspended including World of Radio until it`s fixed.
Indeed at 2211 check, 9930 is on with TOMBS // 9980 WWCR but not
synchronized, and 9475 is off. How about 5920 after 0100? (Glenn

late with no modulation, only S9+5/15 into UTwente, gives up by 2202*,
not heard further. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. So a
`Letterbox` is missed, and did not hear the final repeat 0300 if it
aired. Apparently programs are not ondemand later at TRT website,

UNIDENTIFIED. 1100 kHz, Aug 19 at 0639, Meximx. No WTAM. No US

https://www.ircaonline.org/editor_upload/File/2023-24_IRCA_Mexican_Log.pdf

TVR Staying on AM per IFT. AM was off the air 8/21 per IFT audit, but
active again in 2023. SDR monitoring 7/23 confirmed the AM was still
on``. Somehow copying info from that, accentuated letters get garbled
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1141 kHz, Aug 19 at 0640, JBA 1 kHz het to 1140
stations. Probably one of the numerous Rebelde pileups to block WQBA
Miami, which it seems due to format changes is really unnecessary.
Terry Krueger in the FL Panhandle reported: ``1141 UNIDENTIFIED 0716
5/16/24 Fairly strong and solid with no audio, as reported by others.
Points roughly 330/150-ish degrees, which should eliminate Cuba if
accurate enough. Anyone in Mexico able to check?`` But seems to me
that would include western Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. RF 13, Aug 19 circa 15 UT, STB displays 13-5 with a
broken-up freeze-frame, ultimately looks like OETA OKC, which is
always marginal or absent via my rooftop antenna aimed at OKC. But
there is large tropo enhancement into Kansas per APRS map. The thing
is, OETA does not go above 13-4. I bet it was trying to decode KUPK
Garden City, which Rabbitears.info shows does contain a Display 13-5
of Scripps News, or Physical channel 13.5 of Bounce (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 890, UT Sun Aug 18 at 0147, show of Venezuelan music, but
it`s only ``La Onda de la Alegría``. So I seek the spurs on 889 & 891,
and do detect them but still JBA like when I am only hearing WLS on
890 itself, none of it now. WRTH and mwlist show only 2 Cubans on 890,
the 200 kW R. Progreso in Chambas, Ciego de Ávila; and unknown power
R. Revolución in Stgo., so is the latter the spursource?

I thought Ciego meant blind man, and so does Google translate, but:
``People also ask, ¿Por qué se llama Ciego de Ávila? La más aceptada
hoy explica que es fruto de la combinación de dos términos: uno
geográfico: ciego, nombre que recibe el claro dentro de un área
boscosa, y el otro el apellido del primer conquistador español que
recibió la merced del hato en 1538, nombrado este Jácome de Ávila.``

auguring well for English at 1900? No, at 1932 into Missouri SDR,
still dead air at S9/+10 - or maybe a trace of talk with all volumes

It seems the NCS has several specific texts with exactly same wording,

** U S A. 17530, Sat Aug 17 at 1814, SSOB S9/+10 English interview on
phone with African accents about Nigeria, chopped amid at 1830* for
VOA, WDC s/off with YDD once. Beyond me why VOA doesn`t correlate
transmission breaks with programming breaks, far from the only
instance of this. O, I get it, SW is only an inconsequential appendage
to other platforms! HFCC not updated since Aug 12! Shows GB =
Grimesland NC, daily at 1700-1830 in English; 1830 switch to Ascension
for Kinyarwanda, but nothing heard now since that is M-F only (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Ed/V.I.`` is the ``ID`` most often used by this strange station,
contest contacts, eventually says home call is K9VV and club call is
NP2X --- where?? Finally says US Virgin Islands, even tho none of his
calls are specific to there! Says 100 watts. QRZ.com: ``K9VV US Virgin
Islands flag US Virgin Islands, FREDERICK H KLEBER, Gallows Bay
Station, PO BOX 24275, Christiansted, VI 00824-0275, USA. Please QSL
NP2X (NP2X also uploads to LoTW) VIA  K U 9 C  PO Box 529, Mount

Look forward to working you!! Very 73, Fred, K9VV / NP2X``. Yes, sure
sounded like Ed, not Fred. Lots of other phoners on 10m now, such as
on 28520.14, PY4H## in Brasuguese against a very noisy background
