** ALASKA [non]. 13760, August 10 at 0331, S7/9+10 the SSOB far beyond
13790 presumed Algeria, so not the OSOB; pop music, then English ``???
and Friends`` segment about avoiding cons and swindling. 0336 KNLS ID
in passing and next feature is DX specialist Carl Mann, `DX History
for Beginners` about first radio broadcast 1906y by Fessenden, etc.
Has interview and clips of something. 0339 back to music. During this
8 minutes heard nothing gospelhuxtery other than ``New Life Station``
but I`m sure they will get to that after some secular enticement.

I wonder how many beginner listeners know they are tuned to
MADAGASCAR, MWV relay under same WCB ownership? I`m under the
impression that Carl produced a limited number of evergreen `DX`
features many years ago for KNLS, and they keep running thru them over
and over. I met Carl at a DX convention, and later he told me all
about these shows; see
http://w4uvh.net/dxld1637.txt

Per HFCC, this 03-04 broadcast like an identical one at 02-03, is 100
kW aimed 40 degrees toward S Asia, roughly 90 degrees away from
USward, yet we get this outstanding signal off the side? Because the
T/E path to us is so superior propagationally? It`s the closest we get
to antipodal SWBC. Is the earlier hour also of identical content?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Thu Aug 10 at 1740, on a fluke I check
Argentine remote for LRA36, and there it is! Pop music at S8/9+10;
1747 applause but cut to more music. So toward end of a midday weekday
broadcast or start of an afternoon/evening? The latter: 1757 begins
repeating canned IDs, ``la voz de Argentina para el mundo`` among
slogans. Estudio 9, Uniendo Voces, credit Univ. de Quilmes and
individuals. Continuous musical background during talk, self-QRM, why?
1807 into programming; 1815 IDs, music, etc. Checked direct now:
absolutely no signal, as usual. 1823, ``Con el viento al sur`` song
title. 1829, promotion of Univ. Quilmes activities. Suddenly chopped
off air at 1838* as she is about to announce that song again. Never
comes back in next semihour as I let SDR run while I attempt to nap.

I was dodging storms last Saturday Aug 5 and never got to check for it
then. Meanwhile a very interesting exposure of its true mission:
promoting Argentine imperialism, remember Malvinas! BBC Monitoring
later translated it and it`s via Mike Cooper in the WOR iog. But first
via Chris Greenway, Aug 2, WOR iog:

[WOR] ``Argentine news agency reports modernisation of LRA36 --- The
Argentine state news agency Télam has carried this article on the
renovation work that's being taking place at LRA36, making clear the
very political goals of the station.`` [and with illustrations]:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9665v, Aug 10 at 0636, NO signal from R. Voz Missionária,
which had been a very reliable all-nighter. Wolfgang Bueschel also
noted it missing earlier. At 0638 I still detect its other always
off-frequency JBA carrier circa 5940.21 in the splash from 5935 WWCR.
Not sure about its third outlet, 11750v; not noticed but not sought
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIZUELA. 4940, Aug 10 at 0645, NO signal from the 4940 gospel
huxter. Had been very reliable all-nighter. At this time do have JBA
carriers from 4985 Brasil, 4885 Brasil, 4810 Perú (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 10 at 0644, R. Rebelde is ON, S9+20/30. Was
reported absent last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 15720, Thu Aug 10 at 0339, RNZP closing
French segment till next week, a bit of drumming, then English about
air bubbles in Netherlands. I must pause more with RNZP as they have
VG programming, and usually VG signal like this S7/S9; the SSOB except
for 15230 Cuba, S9 but it`s JBM; only thing else is weak JBA 15195
surely NHK.

However, RNZP website shows French news today at 10:30-10:45 am =
2230-2245 UT Wednesday, and available among other Paclangs;
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/programmes/pacificlangaugesnews

Guess what, the schedule for local Thu 3:30 pm shows no French:
``3:30 PM. Champions of the Pacific --- A weekly sports show exploring
the triumphs, struggles and passions of the Pasifika athlete``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6200 AM, Aug 10 at 0642, JBA music presumably from
R. Eastern Star pirate now that he has upped power (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9955, Aug 10 at 0627, TOMBS on WRMI vs quite
audible Cuban pulse jamming, which is liable to hit 9955 anytime
whether or not exilish or even Spanish. And who is the successor
huxter to Scare? At least his stuff is not two decades old (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2202 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday August 10 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+10 direct.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 10 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+20/30
off the back to Georgia SDR; Bonaire was busy.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 10 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/15
into Virginia SDR.

And Wolfgang Bueschel reports, presumably via remote, Aug 10:
``9395even USA Glenn's WoR at 01.30 UT S=9+40dB powerful signal, R
Saxonia DX item, 01.41 UT``

WORLD OF RADIO 2203 should be available circa 0100 UT August 11:

UNIDENTIFIED. 6023.32 approx., Aug 10 at 0640, JBA carrier. Might be
some local birdie, but worth further checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7572 approx., Aug 10 at 0630, ``bonker`` in the absence
of 7570 WRMI. Never noted it QRMing RMI when on, however. It`s like an
anvil, sending V over and over, part of the time with an extended DAH.
What is this, anyway? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. Nothing received direct in still depressed
propagation after several blackouts, so check UTwente for the
Turko/Kurdo radio war, August 9 at 1755:

17460.017, S9+5 chanting music, undermodulated, more fadey than:
17470.001, S9+5/10 music but cuts off at 1800*. Then:

17460, at 1800 both here making a fast SAH - like 16 Hz? talk vs
music. After my lunch break, at 1840: 17460, both still here, YL talk
stronger than OM shouting with music.

Now, which is which? The +17 Hz offset implies Turkey jammer, typical
for Emirler, but would expect it to be stronger than supposed
Uzbekistan site for Dengê Welat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Aug 8 at 2157, S8 open carrier from local
Enid CBer blocking the channel. Somewhat separable by tuning to
27185.6 USB, a GOB keeps talkin about walkin his dawg (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 9 at 2004 UT, dead air in $ tereo on caradio
during bandscan not expecting any DX except some MS pings. Still dead
several minutes later. Must be my nearest, KOCD Okeene, 14 kW, a real
station which relays an LP, 0.1 kW KWDW 93.9, OKC, which I can`t hear
due to KIMY Watonga, salvation in English. Yet WTFDA FMDB shows
different brandings: 101.5 R. Salvación; 93.9 R. Bautista Calvario! I
have zero interest in either so had not listened closely for which,
when KOCD manage to modulate (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 9 at 2200, token English from SNR, still
summer, so no news, but admittedly a repeat of June 30 about a
magazine, The Riveter? which deals in English with literature in
Spain`s four official languages, not just Castilian (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, August 8 at 2156, VOT IS is running, so confirmed on
at least for starters of 2200 English.

11785.009, August 9 at 2200, no signal from VOT into UTwente, but is
on late by 2202 with S9+30/40 news in English; 2210 `Review of the
Tuerkiyeish Press` about T`s key role in Ukrainian grain shipping.
2213 ``Always By Your Side`` promo, and song. 2217 `Grapping Piles`
about Earth`s axis tilting a bit more due to use of groundwater, and
sealevel rise. She never mentions the showname in the body for a
better? chance at outfiguring it. 2220 song. 2225 multi-lingual ID
filler reel. 2227 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Supring` on How to Take
Medicine - it makes a difference to the stomach whether lying on left
or right side, or standing, which is best. 2233 song. 2237 `Weekly
Commentry` read by the badax about who knows what, always ``penned``
-- ballpoint, or quill? by some academic, usually foreign. 2249
``always with you`` promo, music. 2252 s/off of 4 other English
transmissions, never this one: who cares? It`s in the middle of the
night! 2254 IS. 2256 switch to German IDs interspersed: here we go
again. 2300 timesignal about 47 seconds late, not all of which can be
due to internet delay; but cut off air by 2301*. UTwente still getting
a much weaker signal, maybe exciter turned off later as soon, nothing.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See

Confirmed UT Tue August 8 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into Maryland

months.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 8 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9/+10 into
UTwente, despite being way offbeam from NNW out of Okee.

** CUBA. 9650, August 7 at 2335, S5/S7 undermodulated drumming music
and Spanish announcement, // better 11760 with squeal and spurs, and
// much better 15230, S9+10/20 but lofi. Seldom heard and reported
frequency, 9650: WRTH Update, Aoki and HFCC miss it completely but
EiBi shows it 00-05, close but no cigar. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, Mon Aug 7 at 2335, S9/+10 of dead air instead of `Mesa
Redonda` TV show soundtrack, which if on this hour only, would not be
// any other RHC Spanish except 6000 -- where there is no signal at
all. EiBi shows 11950 as daily and 6000 as M-F only; WRTH UD as
Tue-Sat on both, which does not make sense; ditto Aoki as days 34567.
HFCC continues to pretend RHC does not exist; not helpful. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
