** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 20 at 2204, still no signal from RNA/RNB direct,
keeping company to no signal from Turkey on 11785, q.v. (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 13690, Aug 20 at 2211, music, hymn? S9+10 with heavy flutter
and Doppler flutter. EiBi & Aoki agree it`s CRI Spanish for Europe
from Shijiazhuang site, which is just SW of Beijing. HFCC shows 500 kW
at 315 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Aug 20 at 0627, JBA carrier, presumably all that`s left
of R. Rebelde; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13780, Aug 20 at 2212, RHC S9+10 in Spanish, modulation
breaking up a bit, ``Nuestra América`` newscast; and 15230 is off.
Somethings always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1680, Aug 20 circa 1945, still pop music, presumed
Virtual DX Radio low-power relay. It`s always there whenever I be near
enough roughly once a week (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 87.9, Aug 20 about 1925 UT, deadair in $ tereo from
short-range neighborhood signal, perhaps idle RF feeder perhaps
vehicular (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17715 and much weaker 15390, Aug 19 at 2200, REE here but
still absent from 15500 & 15520 on a non-English Tuesday. What about this Wednesday & Friday? ``Alan Roe, Teddington, UK
https://www.rtve.es/play/guia-rne/radioexterior/ currently shows the
next English transmission on Friday 22 Aug at 2200UTC, but nothing on
the following Monday. Maybe Marilyn will clarify what is happening in
the Friday transmission.`` Ken Zichi says, ``It's disappointing -- I enjoyed the brief bits of
English but it seems like they are having 'staffing issues' since
Marilyn Q has been 'holding down the fort' by herself Since early
July`` So is Amy on holiday, or gone for good? Does Marilyn ever mention her
now? Somewhere on the website I spotted a joint portrait of Amy &
Marilyn but can`t find it now. But here are Amy & Justin, when she
started over 4 years ago: Glenn ``English Language Broadcast Panorama 07/01/2021 29:12
Today Justin Coe welcomes Amy Egan, our new colleague at the
English-language Broadcast of Radio Exterior, and between the two of
them they serve up a varied menu of Spanish popular music.``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17715, Aug 20 at 2205, REE S9+30/40 direct in Spanish, so as
expected, no English anymore on Wednesdays; also on much weaker 15390
aimed Africally, and still absent from 15500 & 15520. Maybe Friday?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004-, Aug 19 at 2200, VOT English not off the air,
S9+10/20 direct vs HSNL. At 2236 into UTwente when measured, S9+40/45
as Efsun voices some feature I can`t follow. 2253 s/off as if it`s
17620 at 1230, awry at Ankara. 2254 IS first 10 notes or so before
chop*, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. About
never mentioning any other English broadcast but the first one of the
day at 1230 which is then played back several times: if they can`t or
won`t give every English time and frequency, why not rotate them, one
by one? That way, each broadcast would occasionally be accurately
referred to at sign/on/off, rather than never unless it`s really the
1230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004-, Aug 20 at 2204, no signal direct from VOT;
something`s always erroneous at Emirler. However at next check 2215
it`s on, S9+10/20, YL talk - but NOT in English? Sounds like Turkish,
think I heard ``burasi`` mentioned but unseemed in context of ID. At
2240 into UTwente when measured, S9+10/15, during music. 2241 brief
non-English announcement. Just music. 2256 longer announcement, not a
sign/off, music past 2300 with no time-signal but 2301 into M&W talk.
2317.7* finally chopped off. Don`t know whether to blame this anomaly
on Ankara and/or Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A {and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2308 monitoring: ``From: Richard

(Lemke, Richard -AB)`` ?? I checked this and a preacher heard instead,
no longer on sked, rather one hour later as below (gh) Confirmed Tuesday August 19 at 2001 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.994, S9/+10 into nearby Noale SDR; after found to be JBA at
UTwente. I also check 918 at Noale, and sounds like my voice JBA --
but a bit stronger, I`m not speaking English but Farsi or Arabic -
mwlist shows 50 kW in Iran, 10 kW in Egypt, both 24h. Noale displays
917.988 and mwoffsets shows Egypt -10 Hz, no listing for Iran. Also confirmed Tuesday August 19 at 2330 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
3975.002-, S8/S9 into UTwente. Also confirmed UT Wednesday August 20 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10 into
Knoxville SDR, following `Blues Radio International``. Also confirmed Wednesday August 20 at 1931 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.000-, S9+10 into UTwente, by recording. 3975.001+ also S9+10 at
2030 when checked with something else. Also confirmed Wednesday August 20 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -95 Hz =
7489.905, S8/S5 into Maryland SDR. A gospel huxter, not the voice of
BS, was chopped off at 2100 for ID and then WOR, so am not sure it`s
still TOM. Also confirmed Wednesday August 20 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into
Knoxville SDR. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. Thanks this week for financial support from Adrian Micallef, Marsa,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Aug 20 at 0626, WTWW is off, so last night around this
hour was anomaly, test? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9905/9945, Aug 20 at 2220, approx., span of splash from 9930
WTWW with TOMBS which is S9+40/50 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7570, Aug 20 at 0629, this WRMI-5 is off again contrary to

email as WJHR@USA.com and ``Rock of Ages`` on chimes, nice till chop

pure SSB, and nothing else listed on 15555 except China at 12-13
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17525, Aug 20 at 2206, WMLK is off again, nominally till
2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 780, Aug 20 at 0640 UT, WBBM Chicago, again no sign of
StarDate. Wonder if moved elsewhere on sked. WBBM websked shows no
such details, and displays in UT like my computer without specifying!
and what does StarDate own website show? ``Mon 12:41AM; Mon – Fri
3:41AM; Mon – Fri 9:41PM; Sat – Sun 8:41PM`` IIRC it never had it
accurately as daily 1:40AM = CDT. I won`t be listening at 0841 or even
0840 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re: "960 kHz, Aug 16 at 0705 UT in absence of local KGWA,
somestation IDs as 101.7. The NRC AM Log and the WTFDA FM DB agree the
only 960/101.7 match is: WSVU, North Palm Beach FL, U4 2400/1400, and
W269DS, Radio Elite International, Haitian! Of course an ID in English
could still happen, but this still seems a bit far to be fetched
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)" ``KZIM is still // KSIM-1400 and K269GZ-101.7. Dave Gasque just posted
an ID on Facebook the other day, and 101.7 was definitely mentioned
along with both AMs. 73 Tim Hall`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1270, Aug 20 at 0725 UT, IDs as ``Faith, Leader?`` - NRC AM
