|  ** EGYPT. 9899.60, Feb 15 at 2121 check, R. Cairo is 100% improved: NO
 signal into UTwente! However, at 2204 UT, Andy Reid, Ontario tells the
 WOR iog: ``With varying degrees of audio quality, I don’t believe it
 is the transmitters. They are on now in English 9900 with some audio
 squeaking though. I did hear the word “president“!`` (Glenn Hauser,
 OK, WOR)
 ** TURKEY. 5960+, Feb 15 at 2333, VOT direct is S9/S6 but just barelymodulated. Checking UTwente at 2348 it`s +016 Hz high, undermodulated
 but sufficient if you turn up the volumes on strong S9+27 signal;
 compared to e.g. much louder 6015 station, Kazakh from East Turkistan,
 standard denunciation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2353
 unusual s/off by heavily accented YL as if this were the 1330
 broadcast, IS until 2356* uncovering another Urumqi in Chinese, its
 CCCCCCI having been audible before TRT quit. Now at least until the
 0000 timesignal, another carrier is making a rumbling SAH, unaccounted
 for in listings, so I guess it may be the Emirler exciter before
 turned off completely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
 ** U S A. 305 MCW kHz, Feb 15 at 0711 UT, OI, 25-watt ND beacon atsIOux City / Tommi, Iowa. What means Tommi? Top search hits lead to a
 Finnish masculine name; a girl`s name and a VR game. Adding Sioux City
 leads to S.C. people named that; and OI axually located across the
 border in South Sioux City, Nebraska!

 Also leads to a street view of the transmitter box and antenna. Still
 lacking is any explanation of why this and so many other NDBs are at
 such weirdly nicknamed airports. Auroral conditions, hardly any
 Canadians or other USonians making it now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

 ** U S A. 9455, Feb 15 at 1612, NO signal from WRMI-5 which issupposedly 24/7 including TOMBS cult all day, according to skedgrid
 now labeled as ``WRMI B21 Broadcast Schedule as of January 20, 2023``
 [sic!]; but other WRMIs, 9395 & 9955 are on and well audible. 9455
 azimuth is 285 degrees, close to thisaway, same as 7730 which when on
 has a better signal here.
 On 9455, no sign either of CNR1 jammer or RFA Chinese via Saipan asscheduled this hour, but M/W/F only and this is Tuesday, instead:
 9720, Feb 15 at 1613, music with fast SAH, repeating melody like anunknown interval signal, 1614 other music, S6-S8. This is the Tue &
 Thu RFA Chinese via SAIPAN frequency and CNR1 jammer, instead of 9455
 M/W/F. So what about 16-17 UT Sat & Sun? 9900 shown by WRTH 2022. This
 jumparound obviously does not escape ChiCom jamming, so why bother?
 Must confuse casual non-DXer listeners.
 9455 is back on with SMTV cult at next check 0118 UT Feb 16; as WRMIskedgriddled at 01-07 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
