** EGYPT. 9899.607, Feb 22 at 2156, R. Cairo very strong into UTwente,
slightly less suptorted than usual but still unlistenable. Something`s
always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, Feb 22 at 2314, VOG is back on after missing a few
days, making us fear it`s gone for good. S9+10/15 with music into
UTwente, but lower modulation level than Türkiye 5960. It was first
reported reactivated today at 1945 by Richard Langley, NB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.006, Feb 22 at 2317 via UTwente, VOT English

music, good modulation, 2318 COVID PSA; 2319 2-minute multilingual ID
reel filler; 2321 ``Wavelength Commentary`` penned by ---, PhD
candidate at University of Exeter(?), titled ``US provoked Russia in
order to maintain its global primacy`` --- huh?? Enough of that. 2348
recheck IS plays after generic sign-off for several English times.
2356 fade-down IS and restart, now with German IDs interspersed. 2400
5+1 timesignal with that from CCCCCCI JBA underneath; sign-on in
German for the 1230 outsending which really is supposed to be on SW,
15270. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Before next recheck
2410, VOT is off uncovering PBS Xinjiang with CNR1 in imperialist
Mandarin, land of ChiCom genocide, ``re-education`` and slave labor
among native Uyghurs and other Moslems of East Turkistan (Glenn

** GERMANY [non]. 15215, Feb 21 at 1544, JBA carrier, presumed AWR
Guam or Sri Lanka, both sites listed, scheduled until 1600.

15215, Mon Feb 21 from 1555 I am monitoring via Maryland SDR for Radio
Amrum/Öömrang, annual one-hour broadcast via FRANCE aimed at New York
where there are more Frisian expats than on the islands themselves.
Cuts on abruptly at *1600, VG S9+10/20 but with constant humwhine
undertone for entire hour. Sign-on in German, then 1601 English with
full details as 500 kW, crediting backers by name, coördinated with
annual bonfire ceremony at this very hour. 1602 into interview of
schoolteacher with frequent summaries in English of what has been
said, at approx.: 1609.8, 1614.5, 1620.5, 1622. I think this is not
the same recording as last year; at least refers once to what happened
in 2020.

1626 full ID again in German with telefon numbers, and English, same
as at sign-on. Announcer is Gerhard ---. 1628 different interview
starts with Mr and Mrs Peters, mentions Corona, and ``ankles`` more
than once in English summaries, meaning uncles? At 1630 a quick check
of direct reception to deep North America: S9/+10. More English pauses
at 1637.5, 1639.8; 1644.5 about the Frisian language being taught in
schools there two hours per week; 1650.5.

1656 full ID again, including two phone numbers, first of which is
046822688. 1658 modulation stops, still humwhine carrier and now also
JBA warbling like jamming, until cut off at 1700.3*. An unique annual
tradition continues. Despite the contact info given, apparently no
QSLing, other than proxy by MBR transmission provider. Following my
imminent alert to the WOR iog, widely reported across our continent
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, Feb 21 at 2107, no signal from VOG into UTwente.
Others checking lately have not been hearing it either. We fear it may
be an earlier permanent QRT than expected. Still nothing at 0037 Feb
22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

KSDA is scheduled 1530-1600 in Tibetan except days 12347 in English =
Sun/Mon/Tue/Wed/Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also GERMANY [non]

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 21 at 2325, no signal direct from VOT English.
Must have come on way late, for at 2341 it`s S9+30, VG modulation into
UTwente with that COVID PSA, music. Wonderful IS playing by 2352; 2356
fades audio down audiblizing the CCCCCCI; then restarting IS with
German IDs interspersed twice a minute. Pause at 0000 Feb 22,
timesignal mixing out of step with East Turkistan, standard
denunciation; s/on in German with detailed irrelevant satellite
parameter info. Not until 0004 do the Nachrichten start. Announcer has
poor mumbly enunciation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
Still going at 0014 into music, and 0022 check in German. No telling
how long this will last --- until the sleepyrator upwake. Bonus not
likely to last the entire hour, too bad: ahh, Schluß at 0024*
uncovering imperialist Mandarin from Xinjiang.

BTW, the guy who runs the jammer against Dengê Welat is trying to
control how people speaking other languages pronounce Turkey; the
Germans are all set with their facility for umlauting! Next step:
resurrecting the Ottoman Empire? No, that won`t do: footstools!

``Goodbye Turkey, hello Türkiye
Turkey is rebranding its internationally recognised name as “Türkiye”.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the new name “represents and
expresses the culture, civilisation and values of the Turkish nation
in the best way”. But the change is about more than phonetic
pronunciation. BBC Monitoring’s Ilgin Karlidag explains.

UNIDENTIFIED. 332 MCW kHz, Feb 21 at 0715 UT, normally a mix here
between 1000 watt dash and QT Thunder Bay, Ontario, and 400 watt
weaker but closer IC Wichita KS. But the latter JBA call now sounds
more like FC. Nonesuch currently listed on 332, 333 or 334, but RNA
classaxe does show an FCY on 332, 25 watts at Forrest City, Arkansas,
last reported in 2005y. Maybe miskeying IC or confused by mixing with

** U S A. 14280 USB, Feb 19 at 1951, W4A, special event ham station
celebrating 80th anniversary of VOA. By 1952 has switched to a
different operator`s voice, Dave. Making very quick contacts one after
another, QRZ. Says he is 25 miles west from VOA Greenville
[Grimesland] site, running 400 watts. Contacts include K9MOI, NP4AC;
his signal much better than most of them, especially at 1954 KB9WOO
with 9 watts. Mostly rate ``5,9, eastern North Carolina``.

There are two other special eventers, stacked as V/O/A. Details at
https://w4amc.com/2022/01/07/80th-anniversary-of-voa/
W4V at HQ in Washington, W8O at Bethany, Ohio. According to
https://dxheat.com/dxc/
those two are currently working on 14300 and 14286 respectively.

At 2055 I hear on 14300, W7KPH in Las Vegas NV but seems about some
net rather than working W4V. Activity span is 14-22 UT both today and
tomorrow Feb 20, so maybe will catch them then. Also on 40 & 80 m I
haven`t heard, circa 7280 & 3880 LSBs.

dxheat also registers W7Y on 14247 for the WGY centennial, but I
haven`t heard it.

However, I also run across a surprise special on 14277 USB at 2058 Feb
19: W7P calling CQ from Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff AZ, with no
immediate response. For the 92nd anniversary of discovery of Pluto by
Clyde Tombaugh:

emeritus.

Chex the next morning Feb 20: at 1457, on 14300-USB some other net. At
1458, 14280-USB mentions VOA, but next station heard is Gerson in
Alexandria, Virginia; and at 1500 K4US, special event from Mt Vernon
celebrating Washington`s birthday; which is not really today:

``I enjoyed your show which I heard the first week of January and
repeated on the second, so I assumed it would be repeated further
until a new one in February, and had not retuned, until tonight, when
I find it gone from 5950 at 0030 UT Sunday, and also gone from the

catching its repeat 26 hours later. At 0148, Bob Heil says, ``here we

tho there are also listed some low powers in Spain, asking to be
swamped? Most of the others likely Spain, UK, altho checking now 3+
hours earlier than bedtime should get better results. Has RTA 531 been
off air or limited sked? WRTH 2022 shows both 531 and 600/300 kW 891

``That is or was the home of these iHeart stations absenteely owned
and licensed to OKC: KTOK 1000, KREF 94.7, KXXY 96.1, 98.5 xltr, KTST
101.9, KJYO 102.7. Per FCC Queries. IHM also has a Tulsa cluster and a
few other OK stations outside the OKC market. So what is going on
here. iHeart pulling out of OKC or just moving to another
building?Glenn Hauser, Enid``

Adam Rivers replied: ``Many iHeart facilities have downsized over the
last year or so. Mine has not, but buildings have merged, etc. like
Lancaster into Harrisburg, PA, etc.``

On Feb 18, John Zondlo replied: ``The auction conducted Thursday
was of property at our old 50 Penn Place offices. We have only brought
over to our new location a handful of items. Honestly, much of that
stuff has seen its better days, and I'm not sure why some folks even
bothered to bid on it.

At 50 Penn, our home for 44 years, we occupied about half of the 10th
floor of this office building. The 10th floor was occupied by sales
and management. We also had the entire 11th floor, occupied by
programming, for our 7 stations here. We also occupied a portion of
the 12th floor for the Oklahoma News Network, 4 farm networks, and the
Oklahoma Baptist University sports network (which I produce). With all
of the cuts made by iHeart/Clear Channel in recent years, we had way
too much space for too few people.

Our new digs are at 6525 N. Meridian in OKC in a 6 story office tower
(recently renovated, barely occupied). We have 4,000 square feet now,
a fraction of what we had at 50 Penn. The broadcast and office
equipment is, for the most part, brand spanking new.

There is still quite a bit of broadcast equipment left at 50 Penn that
is being inventoried and will be disposed of in various ways.

So, to sum it up, we are still alive and well in OKC and serving our
area to the best of ability with a skeleton crew. And I say that as
I'm here at KGHM 1340 producing a LOCAL high school basketball game.
John Zondlo - Yukon, OK``

Thanks, John. He is/was better(?) known as an FM DX editor for VHF-UHF
Digest of the Worldwide TV-FM DX Association; who refuses to publish
my few but detailed FM DX logs since they would occupy more than one
line each. Yes, KGHM 1340 is another IHM station I overlooked, since
it is licensed to suburb Midwest City for no particular reason. Did I
miss another? To total magic 7 would have to include that one
translator (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, KOSU, Sat Feb 19 at 1830 UT, I am listening on
caradio on way to and from Box 1684, with a very interesting show
about the origins of tape recording in Nazi Germany, and later into
Vietnam war archive interviews; next week to be about how ``cassette
tapes created the Internet``. Closed at 1859 UT without any program
ID. Must have been `Radiolab` as per KOSU sked. All I want to do is
find a recording/podcast of this week`s complete show since I heard
only some fragments. But program website
https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab
is completely unhelpful, not even a search funxion: all kinds of stuff
in segments for years, and some seem on related topix, but I give up!
One thing I noticed that in SFX of tuning an AM radio in Britain
overnight after BBC signed off, hearing classical music on strong
German stations: did Hitler make the musicians play all night? we hear
squishy noises and RTTY! Better not be on AM!! Or a horrible radio
picking up SW images. How could Radio people be so ignorant about the
basix? But such nonsense is standard for tuning-around SFX (Glenn

** EGYPT. 9899.605v, Feb 18 at 2115 via UTwente, certainly R. Cairo on
signature off-frequency, and signature extremely distorted but not
suppressed modulation. Should be in English, but my brain cannot lock
onto it as English, or Arabic, but what? Intonation seems more like
Russian, maybe, which is an RC language but scheduled at 19-20 on
9510. I cannot recognize a single word in any known language. At 2130
there is a 5+1 timesignal, more talk, non-English? By 2222 maybe I can
make it English; at 2242 maybe utters ``goodbye``, music; 2144.5 tone
to 2245* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [and non]. Altho WORLD OF RADIO was scheduled to be
pre-empted on this, the third Friday, February 18, from IRRS 7290 and
1323 kHz at 1915 UT, I check remotes anyway just in case. Turned on at
1858, nearby Noale SDR is getting NO signal from AM Italia on 1323; at
1903 it`s hearing German, i.e. from Romania`s domestic minority
service, which has always been a QRM problem; ex-918 only with Spain,
and no LW 207 either. 7290 via Bulgaria never comes on air either! As
monitored via UTwente. Past 1915 still nothing.

WORLD OF RADIO 2126 confirmed, however, on 1323 kHz only, Fri Feb 18
in progress at 2141 check, so AM Italia is back on air, S9+10. It may
not have been at first check 2115, but distracted by Cairo did not get
back to it by 2130. Now as usual, no QRM problem on 1323. But at 2154
in my 4790 item, modulation chops off as I am saying ``Tom Ca--[ll
Theatre]``. Dead air for more than a minute, 2156 music fill; 2200 no
ID but JIP `Feature Story News`. Off before next check at 2221. Next:

** SPAIN. 12030, Feb 18 at 2252, is today`s missing frequency from
REE, checked at Maryland SDR: backward for ME it`s often as good as
9690 direct to N America, which is S9+30 today; the other 25 mbs are
still on, 11940 S9/+10 and 11685 S7/S5, all in time for token English
Friday at 2300-2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 18 at 2320, VOT English is VG into UTwente, now
starting `Feeling Supreme` segment, this time delivered by
heavily-accented YL, about ``fat-in-liver disease/syndrome`` which is
problematic if over 10%. VG but some hum and by now the usual CCCCCCI
undercurrent. Signal strength merits max bandwidth of 9 kHz but audio
input is still lo-fi ``telco quality`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Feb 19 at 0100-0202, AAAWWW on WBCQ webcast,
notes with paraphrases of A&A`s comments, often yelling over each
other, mostly far-right ranting. Most of which I gh strongly disagree
with. Open window and yell out ``I`m mad as hell and won`t take it any
more``. I`m white so I`m no good. Don`t make bad choices because you
have too much freedom. Boycott Land-o-Lakes because they took an
Indian lady off their butter boxes. Vacuum state of horrible
leadership. Communist China is taking over all US branches of
government, responsible for puppet Biden being president. We have to
wait for Trump to come back in 2024 and fix all this.

At 0135, datestamp as 18 February YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490,
6160, 4790 - none checked here. Got rid of AT&T as too costly via
copper pairs, so new phone for show is 207-286-5483 - but there were
no calls put on air, I think. Fuel cost is up 50% and electricity will
be doubling. May be hard to keep WBCQ in business. Looking into
energy- and cost-saving modifications, such as pulse modulation.

There is no true ownership of property in the US since you can lose it
by not paying property taxes. 0141 quoting Chuck Kelly about how radio
is not going away despite TV, streaming. Radio listening is up among
younger Brits. A&A don`t have a smart speaker, too creepy listening
all the time. 0150 anti-Biden, Hillary, AOC, Warren quotes from signs.
Also anti-Trudeau. WBCQ may have so start a ``Radio Free Canada``
transmitter. Allan for at least the third time recently makes the
explicit false claim that no privately owned SW is allowed by the
government in Canada. You`d think he would know aboot CFRX if not
CFVP! There is a ``dark`` government which could get rid of Allan.
0159 prayer; runs over 2 minutes until joining Hal Turner in progress
at 0202. Standard disclaimer! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
