** BRAZIL. 9664.101V, July 26 at 0631, RVM now drifting downward,
almost minus one kHz from nominal 9665, S7/S9 with praise music, usual
VG modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, July 26 at 1450, RHC Spanish is S9/+10 but just barely
modulated, while // 15140 is merely undermodulated. 26 de julio: time
for my annual salute to The Revolution with my parody motto: ``Patria
o Suerte, ¡Pensaremos!`` I am still awaiting photographic evidence of
this being scrawled on any public surface inside Cuba.

For those who don`t get it, instead of ``Fatherland or Death, We Shall
Overcome``, I refer to the millions of Cubans who have or are
considering fleeing the country: ``Fatherland or Fortune, We`ll Think
About It``, as many have prospered in Florida, or at least attained
Freedom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 25 at 2206, R. Cairo, S9+30/40 into UTwente,
with huge humwhine over distorted English. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt.

9440, July 26 at 2119 and still 2145, even worse, S9+35/45 into
UTwente with big humwhine, only occasional modulation spikes on and
off, totally unusable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, July 26 at quick check 1525, Voice of
Martyrs Korea, secret site maybe Taiwan, S7/S9 into UTwente, still in
English not Dhivehi; has huge second-adjacent QRM splash from 11610 in
American English which means it must be CRI: yes, 500 kW, 269 degrees
from Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide
against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 25 at 2200, REE again token English-less,
like it was on Friday; instead continues in Castilian with feature
about Mexican corrida music. Ken Zichi confirms there was English last
week on Mon & Wed July 18 & 20 but not Friday. We hope it`s just a
summer vacation, but how about telling us what`s up? At

https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/emision-en-ingles/
as of July 25, last podcast dated 16/07 and says:

``English Language Broadcast --- Justin Coe y Amy Margaret Egan
Lunes, miércoles y viernes a las 22.00 horas UTC, martes, jueves y
sábado a las 02.00 horas reemisión

The English Language Broadcast of Radio Exterior de España has been on
the air since 1944. Our daily [sic] broadcasts seek to inform
listeners about goings-on in Spain, as well as offer a Spanish
perspective on world events. News, sports and weather, presented live,
are followed on weekdays by a variety of different programs on
subjects ranging from art and culture to history, politics, and the
latest trends. These programs can be heard again at the weekend.``

The 0200 repeat must be from the distant past, let alone weekend
repeats on SW. The podcasts typically run over 30 minutes, so
presumably are original, then edited down for SW. But has it all been
canceled??? Would anyone who has had direct personal contact with
Justin or Amy, ask them what`s going off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.001, July 25 at 2213, VOT English is on today,
S9+35/45 into UTwente, with loud hum but tolerable, new frequency
ex-9830.021 so a different transmitter than usual? Concluding `Review
of the Tuerkiyeish Press` at 2215 to multi-lingual ID reel filler,
which was recently redone with different background music. 2217 other
music; 2221 ``Voice of Tuerkiye, always by your side`` -- what does
that really mean? 2222 song, 2225 `Feeling Supreme` theme and 2226 YL
with natural remedies for arthralgia = joint pain, about a dozen,
starting with: massage, ginger, swimming, oil, sycamore leaves,
turmeric, pineapple [std. disclaimer], until 2231 as I turn my
attention to NBC Nightly [sic] News; did perceive carrier drop at
2257* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 26 at 0500-0506, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` for July 25 = day 152 of Putin`s war, starting with
more shelling of Kharkiv, killing civilians (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. VOA`s Polygraph.info --- Just heard this referenced on
Flashpoint: Ukraine, July 26 circa 1940 on WRMI 15770:

** CANADA [and non]. Replies to my July 23 USA and non FM DX report:

```On Sun, Jul 24, 2022 at 06:57 PM, Glenn Hauser wrote:
``92.9 at 0022, CCI to above MT from ``Channel 4 Weather Centre``,
likely referring to CFCN-TV Calgary, really RF 29 now.``

I don't think "Channel 4 Weather Centre" has a Calgary connection.
CFCN, like practically all Canadian television stations, no longer
uses its call letters or channel number to identify itself, which is a
real shame IMHO. Since the late '00s, CFCN advertises itself as CTV
Calgary. The news is CTV News Calgary and its weather forecasts are
referred to as Skywatch Weather.

``92.1 at 0023, Calgary ads, for -- Coast, mortgages; country CCI;
0025 traffic report about Deerfoot? Trail, ``CJ-92, text 92-92-92;
phone = Calgary (403) 249-CJ92: CJAY-FM 92.1 CALGARY AB CAN ROCK C-JAY
100.0 kW 298.5 m --- 2075 km = 1289 mi``

Deerfoot Trail is correct — it's the city's primary north-south
freeway. 73, Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada```

The Channel 4 reference must then have been CCI about a US station.
The 92.9s elsewhen were in MT and WA. Spokane has a virtual 4, KXLY.
Searching on `Channel 4 Weather Center`` gets nowhere, and then there
is KXLF in Butte, not the 92.9 city but Great Falls. Informal names
for TV weather shops are too generic; and it`s even harder to match up
online which radio stations have deals with which TV stations for
weather info -- often unrelated businesses. This is certainly the case
in OKC, Tulsa.

``Hi Glenn, On 7/24/2022 6:57 PM, 'Glenn Hauser' via WTFDA wrote:
94.5 at 0013, country; 0016, text 548-82-88, `Today`s country, Chad?

This one would be "Today's country, Chat (i.e. CHAT), my local, before
Great Falls took over. I experienced the same opening, mostly OK and
TX stations, though also a few from KS, MO, AR, NM. It's been a busy
weekend, so haven't finished going over everything yet. A mixture here
of live listening on the truck radio, and some recording on the ELAD.
73, Nigel Pimblett, Dunmore, AB``

Tnx, Nigel and Ricky. Of course later on July 23 in a separate opening
at 1801 I had a stand-alone log of CHAT 94.5 Medicine Hat (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. 6185.040, July 24 at 1958, pirate Free Radio Service
Holland with publicized broadcast, rock, mentions YouTube, DJ in
Dutch, S7/S8 into UTwente, 1959 English ID, 2000 ``Dave Scott`s Radio
Waves on FRS Holland``. Nominal span was 19-21 UT. ACI from 6180,
German weather station. Unfortunately at 20-22 UT Sundays I like to
listen to `Wind & Rhythm` band music, and `Feminine Fusion`, classical
music composed and/or performed by women, on KUCO in $ tereo. Two other
FRSH frequencies turned out to be flexible as many others reported,
7700 and 5800 up or down to avoid QRM. More such programming planned
next two Sundays, except no 6185 on July 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 13735, July 25 at 1502, marine weather info in French,
S5/S7 into Maryland with deep fades; as another ``Mini-Trans-At``
yacht race is underway from France to Azores, prompting daily
broadcasts via Issoudun at 1500-1530 for the racers. Per HFCC
registrations effective from July 19. Expect there will be a second
leg later, truly T-A, from Azores to Caribbean.

Same non-professional announcer switches to English at 1511, citing
conditions as of 12 UTC at certain geo coordinates. At 1520 starts
mixing French and English. It seems to me a visual display, e.g. fax
would be much more usable aboardyachts, but maybe they don`t have
fancy receiving equipment. Chopped off abruptly at 1530* while still
speaking. Also scheduled on 5975, unchecked.

Dave Kenny reports to BDXC-UK:
``This transmission is listed in HFCC from 19 July until 16 August:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A22&broadc=TDF

HFCC also lists a schedule of "Sailor DRM tests" taking place until 30
