** 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
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2257 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
August 27 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/S9 into Peoria SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 27 at 2330 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
3975.002, S9+10/15 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 28 at 1931 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.000+ at S9/+10 and 3975.002+ at S9+15/20 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 28 at 2100 on WBCQ, 7490 -71 Hz =
7489.929, S6/S8 into Maryland SDR. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

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

** U S A. 5085, Aug 28 at *0059, WTWW comes on now, ID and JIP SFAW =
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
but from [mwoffsets]:
1670, XEFCR, Reynosa, Tamaulipas. [.035-.047]. IRCA: 1670.03-1670.05
1440, KTUV, Little Rock AR [.9678]
1360, ??
1340, ??
1320, Not now but in daytime KCLI Clinton OK [.9615]
1260, ??
1240.2, more than low, believed to be KCRT Trinidad CO
1070, KFTI, Wichita KS [.9773-.9783], also daytime here for ages
830, ??
740, XEQN, Torreón, Coahuila [.06], nasty longtime rumble on KRMG
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 91.5, Aug 28 at 2216 UT, dead air in $ tereo from semi-local
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

Hauser
** 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,
calling CQ DX Asia/Pacific. Quickly making contacts JBA here including
Louisiana. QRZ.com: ``TI2JJP Costa Rica flag Costa Rica, QSL Mgr
EA7FTR, ING. JOSE "TI9JJP" PASTORA, QSL Manager EA7FTR, PO Box
2048-2050 SAN PEDRO MONTES OCA, Costa Rica, QSL: QSL MANAGER EA7FTR``
-- hmm, wonder if he have a QSL manager? No 10m beacons, but also a
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
UTwente. VOA has a new Fulani language service for Africa, allegedly
weekly on Fridays at 1630-1700 via unknown site; subject of much news
and discussion in the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2257 monitoring: confirmed Monday
August 26 from 1931 the 1930v on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001-,
S9+10/20 and 3975.002, S9+10/15 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday August 27 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/20
direct but JBA in HSNL = high storm noise level, extending from SE NM
to NW TX, W OK & KS, SC NE.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 27 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S6/S9 direct,
not preceded by any ToH ID; no jamming audible.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 27 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia,
1322.994 kHz, S9+20 into UTwente across Europe. But 2003-2005 faded
way down to S9+10, power cut? Audiblizing Iranquran? underneath. No
more of that by 2020, offtime. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

** 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)

** 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 [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2257 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
August 25 at 2000 on WRN Europe webcast.

Also confirmed Sunday August 25 at 2158 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio,

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)

** CHINA. 21490, August 25 at 0140, JBA carrier is the OSOB, obviously
jammer against Sound of Hope. Also 18970 at 0145 JBA Chinese and 18965
JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9580, August 25 at 0212, S9/+10 of dead air from CRI relay.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, August 25 at 0213, RHC is S9+20/30 but JBM, can`t tell
if it`s English; and 9700 is OFF - when on it can be VG signal and
mod, tsk2. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 9490.12, Aug 25 at 0210, S8/9+10 of dead air from the
always off-frequency Issoudun relay of RMI R. República. Per WRMI
skedgrid it`s now scheduled 0100-0200 UT only daily. BTW on the very
last line is VORW Sundays at 1900-2000 on 11930, multilingual for
Somalia --- huhhh? Is that so, John? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, August 25 at 0136, rock music S9+20, the
OPOB, too strong to be S American; Report here says it`s Liquid Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.875 AM approx., Aug 25 at 0138, local Enid pirate
is back at only S9 and one channel only, // 105.5 K288FX translator of
K-Love KYLV 88.9 OKC. Again Aug 25 at 1434 on 27184.82 approx., S9 but
undermod // 105.5 and this one channel only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 4775, 4810, 4820, Aug 25 at 0150, JBA carriers, obviously the
three active Peruvians; but on 4940 no Venezombian (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SWAZILAND. 15105, Sun Aug 25 at 1439 open carrier S5/S8, 1440 music
box IS and ``This is TWR, broadcasting from ESwátini``. Afar language
starting, sked 1440-1457 Thu-Sun only. Where do you find this in WRTH
2024? Under SOUTH AFRICA, where else? Fortunately almost same page
with no SWAZILAND entry even for cross-reference, but of course under
E, as this country has distanced itself from RSA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 7260, Aug 25 at 0154, t/in just in time to hear LV de
Türquiye s/off with Spanish schedule, S9+20/30 but with QRhaM since TRT
is intruding! Quick check of // 9870 sounds even better tho S9+10/20
before 0155* chop after IS once (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 21330 USB, Aug 25 at 0142, W1ENR with short CQs, good signal
but the only phone heard on band. If he`s making it, where are all the
others in New England? He`s evasive on QRZ.com but apparently Rory
McGonagle in NH. Just before this, observed zero activity on 28 & 24
MHz bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Aug 25 at 0151, NO signal from WTWW when it ought be
on, but recheck at 0216 now it`s on, and how! pinning the meter S9+60
hardly ever accomplished by a non-local signal. Some guy is musing
that he doesn`t think much of the Democratic or Republican
presidential+vice candidates, nor foreign leaders who could be puppets
of The Deep State, yeah right. Recheck 0308, 5085 is already off again
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Three messages from George McClintock after 16 UT Aug 25:

``Healing: Glenn, My leg is slowly healing from the attack but my head
is not so fast. George McClintock 8-25-2024    `` - with photo of
wound on leg.

``Factory Tech: The German technician is scheduled to be here this
week. The factory is very concerned that this new product failed so
soon. George McClintock 8-25-2024``

``WTWW: broadcasting SOLELY to the US -- Several years ago, an FCC
monitoring station in Texas, cited 2 FCC shortwave stations, for
airing 800 phone numbers. The monitoring station stated that these
numbers were only usable in the USA and therefore constituted
broadcasting SOLELY TO THE US. One of these stations was WWCR
Nashville, TN, that I am part owner and managed for many years. The
FCC in Washington LATER stated that since the coverage of the stations
were also OVERSEAS and that this constituted NOT broadcasting SOLELY
to the US. The citations were rescinded. No further citations have
been issued on this matter. It follows that the target area of 8 {ITU
CIRAF = eastern USA} is in compliance with this FCC judgement. You may
remove it from the WTWW request if you still feel that it is not in
compliance with FCC regulations which are in writing, but a later
opinion revised. George McClintock 8-25-2024 WTWW, Lebanon, TN`` (via
Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Aug 25 at 0147, WRMI-9, S9+20 much stronger than
usual and the SSOB by far, sounds like a Vietnamese song. Of course,
this is during a Supreme Master TV cult bloc (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7730, Aug 25 at 0159 and still past 0200, S9/+10 of dead air
from WRMI-2. Something`s odd at Okeechobee. This is exactly when
System L is supposed to transition from `Pop Shop Radio` to `Encore`,
and // 5950 which I didn`t think to check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490-, Aug 25 at 0157, nice to hear some anti-*rump comments
on Free Speech WBCQ, as normal on `SW Saturday Night` with J.P.
Ferraro; even more so alternate Sunday Nights on 6160- with Johnny
Lightning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Aug 25 at 0158 and 0348 recheck, WRNO is off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 25 at 0658, R. Vanuatu stronger than usual,
S9+10/20 so I can axually understand some of it, PSAs in English about
prescriptions? 0700 R. Vanuatu ID with MW 1125 frequency and FM, but
not SW? 0702 drumming and Bislama, presumably news. 7260 earlier? See
TURKEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6105, Aug 25 at 0152, JBA carrier; nothing listed,
closest being NHK via FRANCE from 0200, which of course is a bigsig as
reconfirmed by then. Maybe ISSoudun on exciter only warmup before
jacking up to full power? Or a spur, or a pirate; or XEQM
reactivated?! Hi. Another time might try to match exact frequency
offset if any before and after 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. OTH radar INTRUDERS repeatedly encountered in bandscan
Aug 25: 7730-7745 next to WRMI at 0200; 9428-9450 missing broadcasters
at 0208; 9547-9565 at 0212, abutting residual Cuban jamming against
nothing on 9565; and again 9595-9612, all with the same sounding
clickery, not very strong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9421 USB, Aug 25 at 1446, ``HF radiocheck`` between 9-X
and 9-6, they sound like, loud & clear to each other but not to me,
``out``. INTRUDERS, probably US military. Only 2 hits on 9421 in
entire UDXF iog archive, and not as a frequency. Nothing anywhere
around here in Klingenfuß 2022y (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
