** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Tue Aug 5 at 0149, I luck out on a day the token
English is not run over by sports, which seemed to precede it with
excessive enthusiasm. Unfortunately I`m listening via the ``local``
SDR in ``Brasila`` which hardly gets a local-quality signal, only
S3/S7, so I can`t fully understand everything. YL voice is talking
about Dominican Republic musical influences on Brasil, mentions
sertanejo with snippet examples. 0154 it`s over already, outro
English, ID as RNB International Service, switch to Spanish, YL voice
but Brasilian accent, same subject, mentions cumbia, bolero, bachata.
0159 RNA Portuguese s/off, then IDs for MW and FM frequencies in Rio
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, August 4 at 0517, JBA/carrier, presumed
Station YHWH. Have not heard exactly how he IDs lately, but letters
Y-H-W-H avoids the thorny issue of which vowels to insert, other wacky
religionists dispute over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, Mon Aug 4 at 2215, dead air in token English to N
America from SNR; but into UTwente the other three well audible:
15520.001 S9+20, 15389.992 S9+15 and 17715.014 S9+15 all into UTwente.
By 0020 direct, only 17715 remains on, VG direct. One wonders if each
antenna be hardwired into a certain transmitter; or can they choose
which beam is most dispensable? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 4 at 2215, NO signal from VOT English for us,
into UTwente, nor accidentalternate 9875. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, Aug 4 at 0519, weather info including current? temp in
Miami and other cities, request music. Is this really live? System C
sked now shows `Legends` daily 0100-0600 on 5050 & 7570. But
transmitter grid atop shows Legends 01-04 on 5050, 04-06 on 7570, and
no longer scattered on other frequencies and times (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. Correxion! Originally wrote ``9320/9340``; fixed:
9930, July 30 at 2215, WTWW S9+40/50 direct, but NO
widespread splatter unlike yesterday, not even +/- 12.8 kHz discrete
spurs, just a bit of raised noise 9920/9940 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 780, UT Mon at 0526, WBBM with very familiar piece about
IVF, I had heard/seen 6 hours earlier on CBS TV, i.e. the soundtrack
of `60 Minutes` - yes, shown on hard to find plain old program
schedule on website
https://www.audacy.com/stations/wbbm780/shows/show-schedule ;
as 11 pm Sundays but this is 12+ am CDT Monday.
On air, WBBM ignores AM frequency 780 for 105.9 branding, not so much
on web. BTW, per WTFDA FMDB, the *real* WBBM-FM is 96.3, only 3.3 kW
with ``rhythmic CHR`` format. 105.9 is really WCFS-FM in Elmwood Park,
only 4.1 kW, i.e. minuscule coverage compared to 780 tho 482 m HAAT.
In both FM cases, you`d think they could do much better. At least it`s
not a mere translator, as for so many ``FM`` AM stations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7235, Aug 4 at 0513, JBA carrier already on direct,
contrary to my previous remark that not before 0600. Still no idea
whence. QRhaM from QSO on 7238 LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7263 LSB, Aug 4 at 0515, QSO constantly interrupted by
naughty ham uttering ``*ucking losers`` and other rude remarx. Seemed
to have something to do with Drumpf. They ignore him as if can`t hear
him (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7680, Aug 5 at 0022 UT, JBA carrier, can`t make out
enough modulation to // 960, but suspiciously = 960 x 8 = local KGWA.
Normally don`t hear much harmonicizing from it beyond 1920 or 2880.
Nor anything on 3840 now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
