** CUBA. 13650, June 15 at 2325, S9 but suptorted, the absolutely
pointless CRI relay in ``Portuguese``, rather fill music or something.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Suptorted = suppressed and
distorted. Merging them the other way, ``distressed`` would be
misleading (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 760.13, June 16 at 0625, JBA het upon 760.00 WJR which just
IDed; not noted before, but a good match at mwoffsets:
``760.125 MEX XEDGO La Mejor (Durango) 2023-10-08``
IRCA Mexican Log shows sked 1300-0500 with 500 watts night, and:
``//XHDGO 103.7FM. Still active on AM 9/24 (logged on local SDR), but
operating sporadically, sometimes with distorted audio. Reported off
frequency ~760.13 kHz 7/22. ID 8/23 mentions FM call followed by FM
and AM frequencies`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 99.7, June 16 at 0410 UT, dead air from KWFF Mustang,
recheck 0413 back on with gunshop ad in OKC.
90.3, June 16 at 0414, KHEV Fairview back on air in mono, after
missing June 15 0024+.
89.3, June 16 at 0415, dead air in mono from KIEL Loyal, R. 74
Internationale. 0417 music & talk modulation keeps cutting on and off
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 15170, June 15 at 2324, S9/+10, in Romanian? Sorta Slavic,
sorta Romance - but EiBi sked as RRI in plain old Spanish via
Tsiganeshti. Related?:
``hi Glen[n], this is Mike Shockley. I used to report years ago in the
70s and 80s. I was tuning in on my Drake R8 at 2:50 UTC and heard some
programming I believe is in Russian; there were time tips at the top
of the hour followed by what sounded like either the Russian national
anthem or Russian orchestral music. This was on 15170 kilohertz with a
fair to good but fluttery signal and lots of noise on the band this
evening. Just hoping you can clear this up or make a positive ID. I've
really enjoyed your program over the years.``
I replied: ``Mike, Where are you located? It so happens I heard
something odd on 15170 a bit earlier tonight: [as above] Russia has
been carrying out some tests. HFCC as of 5/21 has this registration,
but apparently had not been active, from Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky:
``15170 0200 0600 1,2,6 P.K 250 67 0 288 1234567 300325 251025 D
Rus RUS RRS GFC 3894`` -- Maybe can check further`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9875.018, Sunday June 15 at 2048, VOT English, not off the
air but S9+20/25 off the back into UTwente, ending `The Pulse of
Turkish Foreign Policy`, yawn, and begin `Letterbox`. Cemre says in
summer there is dilemma whether to stay inside or outside; enjoyed
working from home during COVID and for a while afterwards, apologizes
for ``blabbing`` a bit. To the email: 1) Mr Chris ---, Canada, wonders
what snax are popular in Turkey? Baklava, Turkish Delight, etc. 2)
Jayanta Chakraborty, New Delhi, gets 7275 better than 6165 during the
0300 broadcast. They never point out that 7275 is aimed to NAm, 6165
supposedly for S Asia - needs to be on a higher band at this hour in
summer. And a second report from him in June already, same obs, and
wants some stamps along with QSL. Maybe. Also asks about a statue
being dismantled in Kurdistan? No reply, it seems. 3) Gabriel Gómez,
Uruguay, Montevideo, 64-year-old and SWL since 1984, heard Uighur
broadcast, way offbeam. 4) Allen? Kumar?, Chennai, India, heard
Persian on 9765. 5) --, Munich, Germany. 6) final: Anatoly Klepov, ed.
of RUS-DX, applies for June QSL, so a different one every month?

** U S A. 28274 CW, June 15 at 2316, slow beacon, only caught tail and
then long pause, no immediate repeat, or fadeout? At 2320 there it is
again, DALTON GA WI4L/B EM74. WGB list:
``28274.0 WI4L/B - Dalton GA USA EM74nq - #0 (17 Dec 2024) Note: Ex
28277.8`` QRZ.com: ``WI4L USA flag USA, DAVID H "Dave on CW" STANLEY,
3411 S RIVERBEND RD, DALTON, GA 30721`` -- Lots of certifs on website,
nothing about beacon.
Seemed the OSOB; tunearound, no phone and no other beacon until:
28291 CW, June 15 at 2319, AR AR AR DE K5TLJ/B -- WGB list: ``28291.0
K5TLJ/B - Trumann AR EM45rq - #0 (08 Apr 2025) Note: Slow keying start
with AR × 3 + de ID - Pwr 5w``. QRZ.com:
``K5TLJ/B USA flag USA, Terry L Jones, 700 Smith St, Trumann, AR,
72472`` -- Nothing on website except an ugly razorback? Heard before.
666 km = 414 miles, almost to Memphis. That`s quite short skip, both
these obviously sporadic E, while MUF is below 88 MHz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, June 16 at 1422, 1427, 1449, S8 dead air from WRMI
direct; also into Georgia SDR at 1459 until 1459.5 canned ID fires,
and 1500 `T2P`. Something odd at Okeechobee. WRMI-9, sked at 14-15 was
Supreme Mistress -- er, Master, TV. Back at 1450, 9955 & 9395 were JBA
but modulating, also at 1456 via Georgia SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 97.3, June 16 at 0408, bandscanning for possible Es DX
as on DX map opening from the west, amid CCI, ID sounds like ``N-97,
97.3`` - but searching on N-97, N97 and N 97; M-97, M97 and M 97 in
WTFDA FM Database gets no hits. Then I display all 200+ USA listings
and see if anything similar in the slogans column - no! Ideas? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
