** 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:
