** CUBA. 6000, Aug 15 at 0551, RHC S9+25 but suptorted, drama with
dialog in English - like soundtrack from a TV show or movie, wrong
satellite feed into transmitter or thumbing nose at Habana HQ? This
happens frequently. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** GERMANY. 6070, Sat Aug 15 at 1704, Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot via
Channel 292, with one of Tom Lehrer`s greatest hits, then into Syrian
music as previewed; another Lehrer at the end 1756. S9+20 into DL7APJ
remote, better than UTwente. Slight CCI when there should be none,
certainly not CFRX at this hour. Maybe crossmod at rx. HFCC shows 6070
as a JIC/MIC channel from Yamata, Japan; possibly reactivated in
rotation. Further repeats of UBMP: Fri 2100 on 3955, Sun Aug 17 at
1700 on 9670 eastward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. MW beacon bandscan, Aug 15 at 0633-0635 UT audiblizes a few
benefiting from reduced noise level, heard before in better
conditions:
356, ODX, Ord NE, 25 watts;
392, FMZ, Fairmont/Beklof NE, 25 watts - first heard tuned to 390 USB;
400, AHQ, Wahoo NE, 25 watts;
420, PK, Olathe/Herbb KS, 25 watts.
Overall, I tend to hear more of these from 2nd-adjacent state
Nebraska, than first-adjacent Kansas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2308 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday August 15 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, as always JBA direct,
S3/S4. But also:

``Friday 8/15/25 WRMI Broadcast 15770 khz --- Greeting Sir, I listened
to your program this morning at about 1300Z-1330Z, RST 5/+20/9 with
occasional QSB. Radios: Kenwood TS-440VAT, TS-440SAT, Xiegu G1M, and
ATS-20 are shortwave capable. Antenna: 130ft NVIS on fence at 6 Ft.
QTH: Currituck, NC. Thank you for your comprehensive shortwave station
synopsis.

Though an amateur radio operator since the later 70’s, I’d rather
listen than operate preferred CW mode most of the time. Was active in
CA as WA6VTT, Midway Island as WH4AAB & KH4AC, Guam and continuing as
KH2EE. I guess radio has been a big part of life. Starting as a kid
with AM, and later FM, CB, and amateur radio since. Retired from US
Navy as a Chief Radioman after 21 years plus service. Was a Navy MARS
operator as NNN0AGM, and SOCAL broadcast station operator NNN0DBA
before Homeland Security absorbed AFMARS, and Navy MARS program was
sunsetted. Just a little radio background. Have a great day! Keep up
the good work. Thank you sir. 73, KH2EE`` = Richard P West. More of

** U S A. Correxion: the WREC translator is on 92.1, not 97.1 as I
mistyped at first reference due to my indistinct scribble originally.

600 kHz, Aug 2 at 0635 UT, ``600 WREC and 92.1 FM``, back
into C2CAM. The 600 I normally hear with C2CAM is WMT in IA, but no
sign of it now. WMT major nightlobe goes SW thisaway, while WREC goes
WNW/NW from Memphis. 92.1 is a mere translator, W221CR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 600 kHz, Aug 15 at 0629 UT, WMT ID during break in `Coast to
Coast AM`, otherwise horrible CCI from another C2CAM station, way out
of synch, maybe 20 seconds later, presumably WREC. C2CAM is a
tolerable call-in talkshow with variety of topix and not totally
far-right-political like `Red Eye Radio`.

1150, KSAL Salina KS is another C2CAM, with a good signal nighttimes
direxional thisaway but another C2CAM is almost synchro making it
sound like a reverb. Last year`s NRC AM Log shows these possibilities:
WNDB Daytona Beach FL, WJBO Bâton Rouge LA, KRMS Osage Beach MO, WIMA
Lima OH, KAGO Klamath Falls OR, KQQQ Pullman WA, WHBY Kimberly WI,
CKFR Kelowna BC. Same in new NRC AM Log just received, minus CKFR. I
would go with 5 kW WJBO except it`s direxional E/W; or rather KRMS
840/55 watts, ND from middle of MO (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR)

** U S A. 770, Aug 15 at 0635 UT, `Red Eye Radio`, obviously KKOB
Albuquerque NM, bigsig sounds like back to 50 kW and not notched
thisaway toward WABC. Since a Fest balloon knocked down one of their
towers in North Valley last year, has been on much reduced power and
probably ND at night, which makes it much more audible thisaway. 

Latest info via NRC DX News: ``Applications for CPs received: 
770 KKOB NM Albuquerque – Applies for CP with U2 50000/5000, new site
(co-located with 
KTBL-1050 and KOAZ-1510) at 34-58-48.5, 106-44-16.2``

Per radio-locator, KTBL site is SSW of ABQ near Isleta Village Proper.
Will they still need/operate that co-channel fill-in nighttimes in
Santa Fe? At this hour, RER is always a split second behind neighbor
760 WJR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 15 at 0548, JBA carrier, even weaker than the
7235 mystery. RV is back here, not heard on 9960 last night nor
tonight. Ron Howard found it on 7260 at 0505 into NZ SDR. Zach Liangas
says it changed again to 3945 after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
