** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Aug 25 at 1455 check, another Wednesday
with no signal from LRA36 into Brazilian SDR; recheck at 1807 via
another one, still no signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165 & 5040, Aug 25 at 0515, RHC English is OFF these
already, while 6000 & 6100 are sufficiently on, and 6060 marred by
that humbuzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Aug 25 at 0612, JBA carrier, presumed R.
Kiribati as usual; too late now for any other 9 kHz splits from
Europe; and too early for any further Pacificans? I usually also check
1098 for Marshalls (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) But on SW: see SOLOMONS,
VANUATU

** NORTH AMERICA. 11840, Aug 25 at 1530, Station YHWH with good S7-S8
signal into VE6JY #3 Kiwi as before, tnx to tip from Rick Barton who
was hearing him well direct to AZ. 100% readable for me, earnest
proclamation of one true myth to replace another. 1556 ID and seems to
be signing off but keeps going, Yahweh coming soon to establish a
worldwide theocracy, whoopee. ``Exposing fake demon hybrid man-god
Jesus Christ``. Blames homosexual, pedophiliac Catholic church. 1608
Josiah Elias [accent both on the long-I] wrapping up again, now up to
S9/+10, introduces ``Days of Hard Life`` themetune, 1610.5 cut back on
to more preaching until owner-operator of ``longest-running pirate
radio station in the world`` finally finishes and turns off at 1612*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Aug 25 at 0606 UT, KFAQ with ``Talk Radio 11-70``
slogan still. Have not paid any attention in daytime whether switching
to sports blitz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF channels 8, 10, 11, 20, 26 and 34, Aug 25 at 1528 UT,
only BAD signals into STB, correlating with a bit of tropo from Tulsa
market, as implied by maps (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Aug 25 at 0557, JBA carrier much like 5040
Vanuatu, SIBC presumed. Maybe back to making usual switch from 9545 at
0500. Still past 0623 as is ACI from 5025 Cuba. However, Honiara
sunset not until 0719 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Aug 25 at 2206, yet more dead air in English, S3-S7
via Maryland SDR, while the others are modulating, best 11940 S8/9+10,
then 17855 S8-S9, last 11670 S5-S7; 2208 into rock music after ID as
``English service of Spanish National Radio``. No longer known as
Radio Exterior de España? As still heading its WRTH 2021 entry (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 25 at 2208, VOT English is not AWOL today, S9/+15
into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4095+, Aug 25 at 0609, sweeps upward alternating with brief
CW, probably DW for Desert Whooper. Still JBA vs high storm noise
level. The Team at DW says exact frequency is 4095.65; and beware of
similar beacons very near same frequency.

4102+, Aug 25 at 0610, JBA CW, presumed the W beacon also in the
southwest desert (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2100 monitoring: zzz Wed Aug 25 at 1030 on
WRMI 5850; did anyone hear it? Confirmed Wed Aug 25 at 2100 on WRMI
7780, S7-S8 into Maryland SDR; and 21 seconds later slightly better
S8-S9 on WBCQ 7490 minus 160 Hz = 7489.84. Next and last:

Next new WOR 2101 should be ready by early UT Fri Aug 27 for first

** VANUATU. 5040, Aug 25 at 0557, JBA carrier, after RHC begone, and
still past 0623. Must be R. Vanuatu, reported reactivated here as of
August 24 by Lúcio Bobrowiec, Brasil after missing a month from any
frequency, then also by Bryan Clark, NZ and Ron Howard, California;
and Ivo Ivanov using remotes suggests they are staying on 5040 at all
times. As soon as I heard 5040 I checked for second harmonic 10080 but
nothing there. Same? transmitter when on 3945 would harmonicize
persistently on 7890 and 11835, even 15780. Sunset at Port Vila 0639,
not the exact SW site of Emten Lagoon, Efate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0005 UT August 26

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey in full continuous bandscan down from 19
to 10 MHz, Aug 24 from 2331 to 2340: 16160 JBA fluttery carrier vs
CODAR; 16100 same; 15970 slightly stronger JBA; 15760 Chinese S0/S2;
15360 Chinese? S2/S4; 14920 S2/S3 flutter, 13130 JBA carrier. All of
these correlate with jammers against Sound of Hope, in Aoki/NDXC.

15600, Aug 24 at 2334, S0/S2 music with flutter during CNR1 jammer
survey. This one is CRI in ``Portuguese`` via Beijing site, so should
match Cuban relay on 13650 music-only with much better signal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21690, Aug 24 at 1546, JBA via RSA remote, RFI hour in
Swahili, which for S-21, from Sept 5, is moving on up to 25775. Should
be a useful MUF pilot even off the back to NAm, 500 kW more than a
Danish experiment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Griffin Communications will flip News/Talk “TalkRadio 1170” KFAQ Tulsa
to Sports “The Blitz” on Monday, August 23. The new format will be led
by Jeremie ‘Pop’ Poplin, who has served as Program Director and
10am-12pm host on KFAQ since February 2020. Poplin previously
programmed and hosted afternoons at iHeartMedia Sports “1430 The Buzz”
KTBZ and “1300 The Buzz” KAKC Tulsa. Poplin tweeted that the Blitz
will feature local programming from 6am to 6pm, but has not disclosed
what that will entail. KFAQ will continue to serve as the Tulsa
affiliate for Oklahoma State University sports and Jenks High School
football. The “Blitz” name comes from the weekly “Oklahoma Sports
Blitz” that airs on Griffin’s CBS television affiliates KWTV Oklahoma
City and KOTV Tulsa on Sunday evenings. [….]``

So will 1300 and/or 1430 be flipping away from stupid ballgames? KFAQ
is still running IBOC noise vs KSL 1160 and whatever on 1180. Maybe
will still be `C2CAM` overnight? Glenn, Enid

On Tuesday, August 24, 2021, 11:17:44 AM GMT+1, Mauno_Ritola, Finland,
asked: ``Was this cancelled or postponed? Just heard this via Kansas
KiwiSDR: Thanks, Mauno`` [i.e. Talk Radio slogan still]

Re: [WOR] KFAQ 1170 Tulsa flipping from talk to sports
Aug 24 at 0626 UT, I am still hearing `C2CAM` on KFAQ. 0633 joint ID
for HD2 on KHTT 106.9 Muskogee.

Aug 24 at 1520 UT, woman talking about Olympix history, sports or not?
No, 1525 that`s on syndicated show, `Our American Stories`, then
``Talk Radio 1170`` ID and local ads, referring to
http://www.talkradio1170.com/
which is still very much alive with listen link. Cursorily I don`t see
anything about a format change there. Next topic after 1532 is Cuban
revolution. Odd time for `OAS`, usually appearing as overnight filler.
Own schedule has it but not at this time:

http://www.talkradio1170.com/story/5fad99bf8b141111c23d0b53/weekdays-line-up
so evidently filling in for whatever. Still in transition? In fact as
the RI story says, Pop Poplin himself is supposed to be on already
during this bihour per the sked (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210 kHz, Aug 24 at 0635 UT, S9/+10 from KGYN Guymon,
apparently as often, not on night pattern protecting Philadelphia:
``The Big Talker, KGYN 1210 & 106.3, for the Five States``. How
modest; even on proper night pattern they cover a lot more than 5; but
who cares about skywave? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 10960, Aug 23 at 1351, CNR1 jammer in Chinese at S4-S6, only
one audible in the 10s-11s or 12s-13s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4747 & 4783 approx., Aug 24 at 0035, scratchy matching spurs
17/18 kHz both sides of 4765, R. Progreso; barely audible vs storm
noise level, lower one also QRMing CODAR. An undated item in disgraced
FB via SW Bulletin refers to RP being off the air ``this evening`` for
maintenance. Maybe that was UT Aug 11 when I found 4765 missing as
were the spurs. But now it`s clear they did not fix them and may well
not even know about them. Stations do not read my monitoring at their
own risks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Aug 23 at 2201, REE is *still* diffusing dead air on
its Mideast transmitter, S6-S7 into Maryland SDR, while the other
three are nominal with token English on Monday, 17855, 11940, 11670.
15520 DA first noticed Aug 15, and ever since whenever checked.
Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas. Claudio Galaz, Chile also
reported 15520 as ``portadora`` = carrier only, Aug 22 at 2036.
Stations do not read my own monitoring at their own risks (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 23 at 2201, no signal from VOT English into
Maryland SDR; but recheck 2232, now it`s on with music at S9+10/20,
unknown how late it came on. Stations do not read my own monitoring at
their own risks. 2237 the multilingual ID reel, always a good 2-minute
filler. After some IS iterations, off at 2254.7*. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2100 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
August 22 at 2010 the 2000 on IRRS SW via Italia AM, 918 kHz, S9+22
into Noale SDR.

Also confirmed Sun Aug 22 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9+5 into Maryland
SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 23 at 0130 on WRN N American webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 23 at 0230 on WRMIs 7780, S9+15 and 5800,
S8/S9, the lower with storm crashes, into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 23 from 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus
54 Hz, S9 into Maryland remote; but with ACI from 6165 Cuba even when
tuned in LSB. Recheck at 0320, 6160 is OFF THE AIR! WOR continues on
A51 webcast. I leave SDreceiver running on 6160, and WBCQ does not pop
back on air until *0415 with Brother HyStairical, so HRI was also
missed. Meanwhile, 9330-, 7490- and 4790- the other BCQs remained on
air, but not 3265. Next WOR airings, no more Monday nor Tuesday, but:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW

** U S A. 1090, Aug 20 at 0600 UT, during the KAAY deadair, besides
the Fox Sports affiliate, believed WAQE Wisconsin, I neglected to say
that I also heard Baltimore mentioned, so perhaps WBAL. Of course, all
other 1090s should be forbidden ever to mention Baltimore, to
facilitate presumed IDing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1150, Aug 23 at 0636 UT, C2CAM via dominant KSAL Salina KS,
also with a quick reverb/echo indicating a second station with it. No
longer doing that during a local? commercial, but no sign of any other
audio now. C2CAM affiliate list shows seven others on 1150, in WI, LA,
FL, OR, OH, MO and WA. Closests would be KRMS Osage Beach MO, and WJBO
Bâton Rouge LA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, Aug 22 at 0136, screaming, unreadable

heard. These say it`s a Zekey station, Choir Boy Radio or Quiet Boy

** U S A [and non]. 18155-USB, Aug 22 at 1350, W1K in contact with
someham with a 5 in its call, unheard: could axually be in the
traditional #5 call area of S Central USA from NM to OK to MS; but
these days you never know, as hams can move or travel without changing
calls or even slanting them. W1K quite a vanity call, only heard
uttered once without fonetix, so not 100% certain. QRZ.com leads to no
individual, but:

The OSOB except for beepery around 18100; some 1600 miles away, more

** U S A. 7489.9v, UT Sun Aug 22 at 0048 check, WBCQ playing music
instead of repeating `AAAWWW` rant about FCC, WHRI purchase kaput.
Program guide still does show AAAWWW during this hour. It`s never
totally correct; another example:
7490 Mo 2300 0000 UTC Mo 07:00PM 08:00PM EST Uncle Bill's Melting
Pot
7490 Mo 2330 0000 UTC Mo 07:30PM 08:00PM EST Camp Constitution
Radio

Well, it can`t be both at 2330-0000, can it? In fact, UBMP always
plays only the first 30 minutes, for many months. As a `filler`, Uncle
Bill does not want to publicize it. Also all the times are mislabeled
EST instead of EDT: they are NOT the same, rather one hour difference.
But the times shown are really EDT, UT minus 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Aug 22 at 0026, TOUTA has just started with `Mr

shortwave, still plenty strong via the indoor LW; ends at 0054, back

Nothing on 6060 where this is supposed to be, 6100 not turned on until
English at 0500. Now there is heavy ACI from Japan via FRANCE on 6105
scheduled until 0400. Aoki shows RHC starting 6100 English at 0400:
