** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 22 at 2157, RNA/RNB back on air after missing a
few days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28153 CW, Aug 22 at 2203, VE3IDS/B EN94, complete beacon
message repeating, and about to conclude the OPOB, even OSOB, until I
at 2206 detect another JBA CW on 28200. WGB list: ``28153.0 VE3IDS/B -
Owen Sound ON CAN EN94ll - #0/2 (17 Apr 2025) Note: ID + grid + 10"
off power 5w``. Would you believe that WGB lists *17* beacons on
28200? Only two in USA and one in Canada VE8. QRZ.com: ``VE3IDS Canada
flag Canada, Don Richards, 137064 Conc 7, Owen Sound, ON N4K 5N5,
Canada. 2024 June: I have put a 10 metre beacon on the air. It is on

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Aug 22 at 2210, RHC S9+20 of dead air, maybe a trace
of modulation, while 13780 is OFF. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [non]. `Table for All with Buki Elegbede` is a show
on createtv.com via OETA-3 that I don`t make a point of watching as
there are far too many ethnic food shows I am never going to have a
chance to taste, but happened to notice about 2245 UT August 22, it`s
all about UIGHUR GENOCIDE! Apparently the first half was about
Ukraine. I find it:
https://www.tpt.org/table-for-all-with-buki-elegbede/video/conflicts-community-4yWj2k/
The host pronounces it ``Oi-ghur`` as if were German rather than
``Wee-ghur`` - which is correct? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. Re my 10126 log last time, ZL3XDJ: ``Hi Glenn, Brian
Fields, Waikouaiti Beach (just north of Dunedin) I think, based on the
photo and email on his QRZ.com page. With all the recent fuss about
how wonderful ChatGPT is I uploaded his location photo and asked it
"Where is this?". Took four guesses before it got it right. so don't
believe every first answer from AI. Cheers, Chris Mackerell, NZ``

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, UT Sat Aug 23 as I am FM DXing, at 0108 I notice
that KUCO is carrying a BBC Prom Concert, introducing UK première of
Antony Davis` ``The Tales of the Signifying Monkey``, to be followed
something slightly more familiar, Strauß` ``Till Eulenspiegel`s Merry
Pranx``. 0141 outro as on Symphony Cast, and available for a ltd time
at yourclassical.org/symphonycast -- here it is, the entire 2-hour
broadcast:

** SPAIN. 17715, Fri Aug 22 at 2157, REE rock music, Spanish, VG
S9+20/30 direct despite S American aiming, also on JBA 15390 while
15500 & 15520 are still AWOL. Checking now as there were conflicting
reports whether English would resume today at 2200? NO, continues in
Spanish about, what else? Taiwán! Reminding me that we can hear RTI
itself in Spanish at the very same time via 15770 WRMI (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009+, Aug 22 at 2157, no signal from VOT, so I check
SPAIN et al., but at 2213 recheck I discover it`s on, S9+20/30 direct
with jazz, and this time in English with `Travelogue`, M announcer
first-person account of visiting some other places starting from
Gaziantep. At 2222 into UTwente when measured, S9+55! YL about the
Qashqai minority in Iran being discriminated against because they are
Turkic, 2229 outro as `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`. Look them
up at Wikipedia. 2230 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo followed
immediately by ``always by-your-side``. 2231 `Did You Know That?`
voiced by Efsun, something about chickpeas in Anatolia. 2235
``with-you-every-hour`` again, music. 2236 ``WYEH`` AGAIN already,
music. 2252 ``ABYS`` again, what crutches! 2253 s/off as if 1230 on
17620; something`s always awry in Ankara, IS to 2255* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2309 monitoring: confirmed Friday
August 22 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.994+, S7/S8 into
UTwente across Europe. Also on WRMI webcast only, while 9955 is off
the air, unlike yesterday when it was on at 1908, 1933 and 1939 chex
but with CRR.

Also confirmed Friday August 22 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 direct
but noisy and seems undermodulated.

Also confirmed Friday August 22 at 2239 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.001-, S9+5/15 into UTwente. Next:

{UT Sat Aug 23 at 0128 I find that 5085 WTWW is OFF, and so is 5920.

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex pf WBCQs, Aug 22 at 2355: 3265 & 5130 OFF;
6160 IS & ID loop JBA S5/S6 into Maryland SDR. 7490 S9+10/15 with FKB.
9330 off, for rotation. 2359, tone on 7490, one-minute warning to FKB
to wrap up his live show. 

UT Sat Aug 23 at 0000, 7490 advisory that following originally aired
Feb 21, 2025 - as I already reported then, q.v., and never mind now.
Also on resumed 9330. Except checking exact frequencies, NA5B remote
is out of calibration showing 10000.000 WWV as -45 Hz! So with that
correxion it puts WBCQ on 6159.944, and 7489.940 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)  

** U S A. Sporadic E has been around most of the day with MUF spikes
above 100 MHz, but as usual we are mostly either too far or too close
to the nexuses = nexi? I`m bandscaning on the caradio UT Saturday
August 23 at 0013-0113 and have a little to show for it:

92.9 at 0053, ad for Wesley Financial Group, Menard`s; and ``92-9 Jack
FM, - pronounced `yeck```, haha, and soon f/out. WFG is in Franklin
TN, specializing in getting out of those dratted timeshares. But WTFDA
FMDB shows only two Jacks FMs: preferably CFLT-FM, 100/43 kW in
Dartmouth NS, which would have to be double-hop, but settling for:
WGTZ 92.9 EATON OH 40.0 kW 168.0 m 39-50-10 84-24-16 6687 Artist/Title
JACK FM Top 40ADULT HITS 92.9 JACK-FM 25043 1216 km/756 stmi

93.7 at 0054, ``Super Q 93.7, WQIO``, overcoming KSPI OK: here it is,
another Ohioan:
WQIO 93.7 MOUNT VERNON OH 37.0 kW 172.0 m 40-24-18 82-26-20 7FC6
SUPERQ! CURTIS AND THE MORNING CREW ON SUPER Q! Adult Hits ADULT
CONTEMPORARY SUPER Q 93.7 74475 1411 km/877 stmi

Meanwhile at 0100 there is also a ``Hot 93.7``, which I would prefer
to be WZMX Hartford CT, but surely KSPI-FM Stillwater, ``the Okie
standard`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
