** CANADA. 284 MCW kHz, July 31 at 0635 UT, dash and QD, 500-watt ND
beacon at The Pas, Manitoba, is JBA vs storm and line noise levels.
Pleased to hear it but nothing else from Canada, nor any USA beyond
OK. 1956 km = 1215 statute miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, July 31 at 0621, RHC English S7/S9 but very suptorted,
barely recognizable // big 6165, only other English still on air,
while 5040 remains but in Spanish. 11670 is supposed to be in Spanish
only and much earlier in evening. From time to time it shows like this
in English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Sunday July 31 at 1501, RHC is still on as weekly
Esperanto opens, but cut off by 1503 as meanwhile I have retuned to
11760 where sign-on continues to allege this frequency only, ignorant
of weaker // 15140, and even weaker carrier still on 15230 by 1505.
Also stuck on winter timings as if at 1600 UT instead of 1500, as well
as 0800 on 6100 instead of 0700 when it`s usually missing anyway; and
2330 or was it 2230 on 15730. Io ĉiam misas ĉe RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13628 & 13772 approx., July 31 at 1430, RHC
spurblobs out of 13700 AM transmitter. F# tone JBA but no readable
program modulation. Lower one louder than upper one. By 1457 have
shifted slightly to peak circa 13629 & 13771. 13629 has het from 13630
broadcaster, listed as from 1500, CRI English via Urumqi, East
Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom re-education, slave labor, even
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. 6184.991, via UTwente, July 31 at 1901, ``Radio Classic
Sunday`` several IDs in English, rock, Dutch announcements. This is
why FRSH said it would not be on 6185 this week, but last and next
week.

Messy situation as presumed FRSH is on 7700.089 at S8/S9, 1907 giving
address in Netherlands; should be // 5800 but unseems, and then 1908
two signals are equally colliding; so someone will have to shift off
like last Sunday. No, 1923 recheck, still head-to-head. Manuel Méndez
says FRSH is on 5790.3, so must be *two others* on 5800. At 1946,
UTWente lox onto music on 5790.215.

Anyhow, it`s all rock music, and I would rather listen to `With Heart
& Voice` in $ tereo on WYSU HD2 stream as usual this hour on Sundays
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 515 MCW kHz, July 31 at 1428 UT, PN, 25-watt ND
beacon at PoNca City, is off. Had been reliably on for weeks and
audible day and night as strongest beacon, even moreso than 341 EI
EnId, 350 RG OKC which are reconfirmed on now; also Kansans 332 IC
wIChita, 395 CA 25 watts at Newton/Harvs are JBA; and 255 SW
StillWater OK is still off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), July 31 at 0500, missed checking UR1 via
WRMI for `Ukraine: Security Issue` in English so monitored later via:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_30_07_22.mp3
including: Russia should be declared a sponsor of terrorism, for mass
murder of POWs. Operation to rescue children in Donetsk region.
Missile destroys school in Kharkiv. Most Ukrainians in occupied areas
refuse to receive Russian passports prior to sham referendum. Pope
Francis still plans to visit Ukraine (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2149 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday July 31 at 0331 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, about 17
minutes into so started circa 0314; S9+20 vs storm noise level, but
quite readable direct, where my receiver is a lot better than the
closest active KiwiSDRs in TN, IL, IA, barely detecting a carrier.

Missed checking Sunday July 31 at 1330v on WMRI Europe via Channel

** U S A. 9330.027, July 31 at 1506, WLCR via WBCQ in English,
S9+10/20. Larry Will explains: ``Hi Glenn, WBCQ tells me that the
superstition's R-420 transmitter is online, but part of the driver
circuit has failed and is in Continental's hands for rebuilding and/or
replacement. In the meantime they are using an alternative driver,
which explains the slight frequency offset you've observed these past
few weeks. If I learn anything else about the operation, I'll let you
know. Regards, Lw`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 31 at 0620, I can tell RV is on with music on
3 x 3945, S7/S9 noisy. Ron Howard was hearing it a lot better until
0820, says topix included 42nd Independence Day July 30, World
Hepatitis Day July 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALASKA. 18130 USB, July 30 at 2310, K7K on Kiska Island in the
Aleutians, calling CQ, then making a bunch of contacts. This is a
special event I had been seeking day and night on publicized phone
frequencies, nominally: 3790, 7090/7240, 14260, 18130, 21260, 24955,
28485 kHz. No luck until now directedly or remotedly; on the KFS Half
Moon Bay CA remote with omni antenna. QRX at 2320, heard again at 2330
with W3LAS; UT July 31 at 0000 another contact says he is going to
18116, unchecked.

July 31 is the final day for this expedition, so hurry up. Tnx to
Chuck Gessner for tip on the WOR iogroup. Lots more interesting info,
maps, wildlife at their website. https://www.qrz.com/db/K7K

Chuck reported: ``A group of radio amateurs is currently operating,
using the amateur radio callsign K7K, from the Aleutian Islands,
specifically Kiska Island, Alaska from July 25th to the 31st.

It is a special event operation to celebrate the 80th anniversary of
the WW2 Battle Of The Aleutians. They are operating on amateur radio
frequencies in the 3.5, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 24, 28, and 50 MHz bands.
See their website for specific frequencies.

Kiska Island is part of the Aleutian Islands WWII National Monument
and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge

They are using CW, SSB, and digital FT8 modes. They will also be using
the amateur radio call sign KL7RRC during the Islands On The Air
contest this weekend`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 30 started monitoring
Buenos Aires area SDR circa 1445, but no LRA36 until abrupt cut-on at
*1507 during song; 1509 sign-on, multilingual including English, with
three different versions of name: Radio San Gabriel; Radio Arcángel
San Gabriel, and finally, Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel; staff
list, ``Nacional, La Radio Pública``; 1511 Antártida themesong, maybe
should be called Base Esperanza song, also mentions Marambio. Wish we
could get the complete and correct lyrix/letra, let alone title. 1514
historical items concerning something in 1905; first Catholic mass on
the continent in 1946y. 1518 a song; 1523 live greetings by the YLs
[live, that is on original Wednesday airing], as 13th program in the
2022 series of ``Esperanza Audaz, bajo el cielo más austral``; ``muy
buenos días`` altho at 15Z it`s noon local time. In the second week of
vacations, apparently referring to local school #38. Any of the 4-YL
crew brought own kids if XYLs? Winds have hit 141 km/h. 1530 phone
numbers and other contact info but chopped off air abruptly at
1531:20*, never to return. Thruout there has been lite QRM from series
of rapid clix, now in the clear, two different pitches alternating, as
if talking to each other. Gary Pence, Dallas, was listening via same
remote and could also detect RNASG into Half Moon Bay CA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.47, July 30 at 2045 and still 2220 UT, the Enid
CBer is beeping continuously instead of relaying one broadcast station
or another (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 97.3, July 30 at 1755 UT on caradio, CCI
including ``Mother Angelica will be taking calls...``, [A neat trick
since she died on March 27, 2016 --- and as ``more Catholic than the
Pope`` must not be on track for beatfication by the current regime];
1757 EWTN and Global Catholic Radio mentioned. Doubt it`s Es; we are
in unseasonably cool and wet spell, with fringe tropo up. WTFDA FMDB
gets no 97.3 hits on EWTN or Eternal! But it`s probably nearby:

KKNG-FM 97.3 BLANCHARD OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING 1.0 kW 244.0 m 35-10-38
97-36-10 2BC0 Visit us at WWW.OKCR.ORG

Not a hint that this one is Catholic until going to website:
OKLAHOMA CATHOLIC RADIO, ARCHDIOCESE OF OKC including:
https://okcr.org/schedule
Sat noon to 1 pm: `The Church Alive`, not labeled as an EWTN program,
but several others are; and admittedly an EWTN affiliate.

This raises a question about my presumed log of KNEH-LP 97.3 Hélena MT
on July 23 during a big sporadic E opening with lots of other Montana
stations; based on it also being Catholic.

Blanchard is beyond OKC, SW of Norman, 141 km = 88 miles.

Anyhow, the OKCR network in OK, with no info about which are real
stations, which LP, or translators:

``FIND YOUR LOCAL STATION
Oklahoma City: 97.3 FM
Tulsa: 94.9 FM
Broken Arrow: 102.9 FM
Clinton: 98.3 FM

Elk City: 100.7 FM

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN ONLINE!``

BTW, KKNG was formerly the call on 92.5 OKC with beautiful music
format ``King``, to go with 95.5 Tulsa KWEN ``Queen``, still called
but not so branded, while 92.5 became KOMA ex-1520.

I was hearing it while driving around Enid; even before I pull into
the garage KKNG is losing out by 1759 to a country station; 1803 ad
with 620 area code and Dodge City mention; 1808 ``Continuous Country,
Q97``:

KKJQ 97.3 GARDEN CITY KS COUNTRY Q 97 FM 100.0 kW 244.0 m KKJQ THE
DAWG --- 317 km = 197 mi.

Later I`m back in the garaged car hoping that an Es FM DX opening east
of here will spread a little further, but at 0100 UT July 31, nothing
more unusual than another fringe Kansan overtaking Okie KOKC
translator, ID as ``KWKN, Hayes, your new home for news, talk and
sports``, so isn`t the `Cowboy` branding passé?:

KWKN 95.3 WAKEENEY KS TALK/SPORTS 95.3 THE COWBOY 100.0 kW 158.0 m ---
341 km = 212 miles, west of Hayes.

Well south of Hayes, KKDT Burdett on 93.5, tho only 95 kW is a regular
on the fringe, just faded up from nothing to sufficient --- 248 km =
154 miles (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), July 30 at 0500+, missed monitoring WRMI for
today`s `Ukraine: Security Issue`; so I listen later on its website,
for July 29 = Day 156 of Putin`s war, including: Russian soldier
torturing POW caught on video; Odesa ready to ship grain, and Istanbul
ready to receive it. Lasted over 7 minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2149 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday July 30 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130, S7/S9+10 with
storm crashes into Maryland SDR minus 28 Hz = 5129.972. Notice that I
misspelt Ourgla, Algeria site as ORUGLA - well, better than making it
QURGLA as I sometimes see it.

Also confirmed Saturday July 30 at 1600 on WRN for North America
webcast. Is anyone listening direct from International Vacuum?

Unable to check Sat July 30 at 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, since
nearby SDR is offline. Nor can I hear it on the closest others, in IL,
IA, MO, KS; in the daytime. Did anyone hear it? Better luck tonight.
Anyhow repeated 1930 on WRN webcast.

Confirmed UT Sunday July 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/S9 with high
storm noise level direct; at 0044, S8/9+5 and noisy into Maryland.

** VANUATU. 11835, July 30 at 0628, RV is on at S4-S6, noisy, 3 x

missing again, leaving us unsure when it were last heard. But such an
harmonic is really never routine (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
