** EGYPT. 9440, August 12 at 2144 and 2159 chex, R. Cairo is AWOL
again in English, no signal to UTwente, and no loss, where something
is ever egregious if on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855 & 15520 & 11940, Friday August 12 at 2200, REE token
English all good into UTwente; news mostly about monkeypox. 2205 Amy
Egan`s feature about Rosalía de Castro, poet from Galicia who made the
Gallego language respectable in 1863; and songs. Died at age 49 of
uterine cancer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830.002, Aug 12 at 2200, VOT English, VG S9+35/40 into
UTwente, VG signal and modulation, no whine or other complaints this
time, but because of simulSpain and BBC World News America on
PBS/OETA, I can`t pay attention until 2231 when `Feeling Supreme` is
opening, this time about food order ---? Heavily-accented YL. No, it`s
*Foot Odor* remedies starting with soaking them in lemon water. Wow,
such a helpful SW station, info provided nowhere else! Same catchy
theme plays at end 2237; into Turkrock. 2242 DYKT? = `Did you know
that?` 14-km-long beach, and a Roman era tunnel 1380 m long, 7 m hi, 6
m wide, for water. Brief DYKT O&C theme includes beeps. After usual
disorganized recitation of English sked, chopped off air at 2255*
following only first two notes of IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, Aug 12 at 0500-0505, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` with the too-fast-talking-heavily-accented guy,
including: Russia has a shortage of manpower for the war; there should
be a Nuremberg-like trial of war criminals; more shelling of power
plant could lead to nuclear disaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: NOT confirmed,
first broadcast UT Friday August 12 at 0130 on WRMI 7730 because it`s
OFF THE AIR! Tuned in at 0124, no signal to UTwente nor Maryland,
still off at several chex, but back ON by 0159 in time for Brother
Scare, replacing R. Liberty at 0200-0300 but still at 0400-0500 per
skedgrid, but 7730 is supposed to be on 1530-0630+, so hope this be
only a one-time anomaly, especially since this happens to be the only
WOR airing to the NE on 44-degree azimuth, good for the east coast and
Europe, and S Asia? As WOR is no longer anytime on 15770 either tho
still shown on skedgrid as Saturday 1930!
Confirmed, however, first broadcast UT Friday August 12 at 0130 on
WRMI 5850 to the NW; only S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, S9+30 into Missouri
but stormnoisy, as also direct. Best into Georgia SDR at S9+25 and
less noisy.
Also confirmed UT Friday August 12 at 0330 on WRMI 7780 - again on
Georgia SDR but no signal now feared also off; but on and audible into
Missouri, S7/S9+10, noisy and not solid; despite way offbeam to the
SW, best almost northward into Maryland, S5/S8.
Also confirmed Friday August 12 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct and
no jamming audible. 1428 preceded by ME? music buffer.
Also confirmed Friday August 12 from 1815.4 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz only, good into nearby Noale SDR, with CCI in German from
Romanian minolity service, sometimes overcoming during fadeup circa
1839; meanwhile the alt. or ex-frequency, 918 kHz has NO signals to
cause QRM! //7290 via Bulgaria also, not checked until 1823 but
presumably on from 1801.
Additional monitoring before and after: 1323 kHz from 1753 tune-in,
songs in Spanish, unknown program or fill; 1759 opens ``Country
Jamboree``, but shortly it`s ``Country Style USA``, a US Army
produxion, so originally on AFRTS? 1800 ``IRRS SW Milano, signing on``
which must be confusing for listeners on MW which is already on.
`Feature Story News` including 1803 `Spotlite`. 1805 UN News. 1808.5
songs in English. 1814 open show of Irish music, soon chopped off 1815
for ID and 1815.4 WOR. Afterwards: 1844 song, ID, 1845 more music till
7290 chopped off at 1857*; 1323 continues to 1859 ``IRRS SW signing
off`` offering QSL for reports to Milano PO Box which is otherwise
denied, and Verdi theme, QRM from brief tone presumably Romania
closing; 1323 still going at 1902..
Missed checking the WOR 2151 repeat at 2030 Fri Aug 12 on 1323 only,
but has been quite reliable especially when 1815 had succeeded. Did
anyone hear it? Note that next Friday 19th, being the third in August,
WOR will be pre-empted by some monthly music show on SW & MW at 1815,
but still at 2030 on 1323 only. Next:

Tim Gaynor notifies us Aug 13: `` Unique Radio Australia off air ---
Hi everyone, Unique Radio will be on hold for a while whilst I move,
due to a new job in radio. I will let you when it's back. The internet
where I'm located isn't so good on uploads and this is a problem. I
have tried to upload several times, on podcasts and they were really
too slow and stopped. So whilst I investigate and search for a decent
building and better internet speed, the station will be on hold.
However, Jen will continue on her streamed programs as usual. This
also applies to the shortwave. Thanks for your understanding. Tim``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9329.938, Aug 12 at 0630, WLCR/WBCQ in English now
off-frequency-minus rather than +plus, S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (7490), Aug 13 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW` is another
rerun of a rerun originally July 16, a quadriweek ago since he starts
off referring to the first Webb spacescope images which were released
July 12. Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 11835, Aug 12 at 0626, RV, 3 x 3945, with music and
Bislama talk, ``b`long`` frequently, the genitive preposition, S5/S8
and with side-tuned BFO, double-pitch from apparent unstable
transmitter, rather than external QRM.
7890, Aug 12 at 0633, JBA on 2 x 3945 with similar warble.
And also confirmed as inaudible on 3945 itself (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6079.997, Aug 12 at 0636, algo JBA; I have assumed this
be VOA English via SAO TOME at 0400-0700, but it used to be much
further off-frequency. Checking because Manuel Méndez, Spain,
reported: ``6080, Radio Marumby, Curitiba, BRAZIL, 0640-0653, 07-08,
Portuguese, religious songs and comments. 15421``. EiBi shows this one
with strange hours of 1000-0800, but Aoki as 24 hours. Normally I`d
not consider 3 Hz off as consequential, but what about VOA? MM had I=5
no QRM, and the language, content clinch it as not VOA, so we need
exact current measurements of frequency of both, perhaps at other
hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
