** CUBA. 5040, 6000 & 6165, Sept 16 at 0617, all these RHC English are
off already; 6140 with JBA carrier leapfrog mixing product of 6060
over 6100; while 6100 itself is S9+10 and JBM in Spanish! 6060 the
only English, S9+20/30 with hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13700, Sept 16 at 1436, RHC Spanish S9+10/20, VG modulation
but NO spurblobs +/- 70v kHz now, nor any heard for many weeks in
almost daily chex. In fairness I point out that in this case,
nothing`s wrong with RHC. But I`m sure they`ll appear again sometime
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUAM. 11590, Sept 16 at 1442, good S7/S9 signal in Turkic language
with Russian influence, tnx to keywords ``radyosu`` and ``kiloGertz``.
Conveying contact info with P O Box in HK?, some letters pronounced in
English, eventually ``TWR``. Uplooked later, it`s KTWR in Kazakh at
1430-1445 daily with ``Do You Know`` program per Aoki; follows Uighur
at 1400-1430 Mon-Thu only. WRTH files TWR Asia under SINGAPORE. Kazakh
in HFCC as 250 kW at 305 degrees, way offbeam thisaway (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** IRAN. 9640, Sept 16 at 1450, S5/S7 in Arabic as I recognize a key
phrase. Listed is VIRI in Arabic from Sirjan at 1430-1730. HFCC shows
500 kW at 216 degrees for CIRAF 39 = Sa`udi Arabia. Long path? Way
offbeam either way to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 16 at 0638, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Sept 16 at 0624, NO signal direct from VON.
Nor Sept 16 at 1718-1755+ into Canary SDR, only JBA nearly
on-frequency, no doubt ChiCom-occupied TIBET (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, Sept 16 at 1453, blasting S9+20/30
signal from WWCR-4 with really nice bluegrass banjo hymn about
Calvary. I axually pause to listen to TOMBS for a change, followed by
another bluegrass thru ToH with no talk at all except WWCR ID overlay.
Not sure it`s really TOMBS, but seems // VP 9455 WRMI never
synchronized. 9980 is almost 100% TOMBS at 1200-2400 except for
`Financial Survival` M-F at 20-21. Make that: 94% (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** UKRAINE. (7730), UR1 via WRMI circa 0500, `Ukraine: Security Issue`
as copied later from archive:
http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_12_09_22.mp3
For Sept 12 = day 200 of war, including: drove out occupiers from over
20 settlements. Freeing area double the size of greater London since
last Wed. Z not ready to nego with Putin. World feared R Fed, not any
more, lots of weapons provided. Germany and France earlier made
mistake inviting R to participate in Europe. Thousands would have been
saved if U were armed earlier. Appeasement does not work. Integration
of U into NATO and EU must be fast-tracked. Europe prepared to enter
heating season without serious issues. R earning more on energy than
spending on war, 160 vs 100 gigadollars. 53% of German citizens
willing to sacrifice more. Nine ships left Odesa ports with grain. 122
total have left U for abroad. R deporting Us to far parts of R.
http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_13_09_22.mp3
For Sept 13 over 9 minutes, longest yet. No date or warday stamp. km
retaken from R control. Z believes U will defend to the end. Interview
with Fareed Zakaria. Zap NPP final reactor 6 shut down reducing risk
of nuke disaster but still high. Zone must be demilitarized. Fallout
cloud could reach neighboring countries. R incapable of fighting on
battlefield, rather vs civilians. R sending missiles to destroy
civilian infrastruxure, cowardly. Estonian PM says warcrime by R.
Liberated territories being cleaned up after war crimes, tortured
bodies discovered. Kherson, R seized two hotels, burglarized houses. U
intends to seek $ 300 blllion resparatons from R, not enouogh. Any R
gold and foreign exchange reserves should be handed over to U.
International agreements needed to allow this thru other countries. U
war stories game developed.
http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_14_09_22.mp3
For Sept 14, no date or day cited. Z says R behaves like international
terrorist. At least 1000 citizens killed in city near Kharkov during R
occupation. Hope not as bad as Bucha. Women tortured electrically.
Appeal to mothers of the world to rise up against Putin. Need more
military aid from international partners. R violates all intermational
conventions in treatment of U POWs. R violates norms of Geneva
Convention. Amnesty International in scandal, whitewash R genocide
against U (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Confirmed first SWBCs, UT Friday September 16 at 0130 on WRMIs, after
gospel huxter cut off at 0129.5 for ID, and some beeps before WOR:
7730, S9+10/20; 5850, S9/S8 both into Maryland remote. Once again BBB
steps on my last few words of closing at 0159, with two canned ID
sequences in a row.
Also confirmed, UT Friday September 16 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9 but
noisy into Maryland SDR, way off SW azimuth. But plays to conclusion
without overlap at 0159.
Also confirmed Friday September 16 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S8/9+10
direct, no jamming.
As expected on the third Friday of the month WOR confirmed NOT on IRRS
7290 or AM Italia 1323, at 1815 UT September 16. In past this hour has
been pre-empted for `Station of the Cars` rock music -- never shown as
such on the NEXUS-IBA program schedule -- but not this month. Missed
start of show with name, monitoring via nearby Noale SDR, on 1323 but
which also gets 7290 from Bulgaria, vs heavy storm noise around NE
Italy, as always?? 918 kHz is not on this time. Feature Story News, UN
News and various other filler fragments 1800-1815 & 1844-1900 are not
on either this week.
At first, 1323 is way under Romania`s minority service in German. The
IRRS show is some Christian discussion, pro-Jesus, anti-one-World,
etc. Gives address in Troy MI 48007. 1831 Diabetes PSA from Ad Council
involving reverse speaking; maybe changing sources now, mentions
American Prospect, and ID for 90.1, WUSB Stony Brook, LINY, time as 6
pm Tuesday, music fill; 1842 `Off the Wall` starts, leftish political
discussion by hackers, pre-primary or runoff of 8/23. See
https://www.wusb.fm/node/15993 I suspect like so much other filltime,
IRRS is just pulling programming off the web, perhaps without request
or knowledge by the originators.
Meanwhile, UTwente is getting second harmonic 14580 better than usual,
S5. 7290 cuts off at 1857*; 1323 seems still going with German QRM,
1859 ``IRRS Shortwave [sic] signing off`` and Verdi theme, in clear
after 1900 tone from Romania and off. I`ve asked IRRS whether WOR will
resume next Friday at 1815 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330v, Sept 16 at 1447, yet again the WBCQ SuperStition is
off rather than World`s Last Chancing, zero signal into Enid boresight
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 16 at 0620, R. Vanuatu, music, S5 vs CODAR
swirshes peaking S8. Could not stay awake past 0700 to check 8620 and
the other set of frequencies, but Ron Howard reports from California:
``8620+, Radio Vanuatu, 0858+ UT. ID and local time ("8 o'clock");
into monologue in Bislama. Checking from 0940+, found RV had gone off
the air; no signal heard on any of the past or current frequencies!``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 650, Sept 16 at 0638 UT, WSM with music, but
considerable QRM from something else, unusual. Suspect some other US
station like KGAB out of whack at night, but clear at next check a few
minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12025, Sept 16 at 1445, S7/S9 open carrier. Only listee
in EiBi & Aoki at 14-15 is CRI Chinese via Urumqi Hutu, EAST
TURKISTAN, land of imperialist Chinese genocide against Uyghurs and
other Moslems. Or maybe a closer ute? Or BBC warming up Singapore for
1500+ English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
