** AUSTRALIA. 28262 CW, Sept 16 at 2211, VK2RSY QF56, JBA, long
26-second dash/carrier, took many passes to copy and I thought it was
USA K2RSY since there was a pause after the V, which I took to be an
abbreviated VVV! But WGB list shows: ``28262.0 VK2RSY - Sydney NSW AUS

** CUBA. 4765, Sept 17 at 0059 into Knoxville SDR, R. Progreso S7/S9,
while 5025 R. Rebelde is slightly stronger, S8/9+5 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Sept 16 at 2203, S9+10 of suptorted JBM music; 13780

0148 UTC with good signal parallel to 6000 which was weak and somewhat
distorted. As of 0230 UTC 6000 was off but 9710 was still going

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 17 at 0625, R. Rebelde provides S9+20/25 of dead
air in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 11930, Sept 16 at 2206, R. Martí still on later than
usual, and VG S9+10/20 here, gone from 13605 and 11860 so I check for
others: yes, now also on 9565 S9+20/30, and slightly louder 7335 tho
only S9+20, in discussion about béisbol. By 0030 Sept 17 check, 9565
off, 7335 & 7365 on. Sept 17 after 2200, same three as yesterday

heavy African accent: of course, it`s DW via WRN via WRMI as now
scheduled. WRN own sked shows it`s 0600-0700 except Sun 0600-0630
followed by NHK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 660, Sept 17 at 0631, Spanish dominating, caught a ``punto
uno`` in ID, most likely XEFZ Monterrey NL with an FM on 92.1 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORWAY [non]. 6160 & 3975, Sept 17 at 2000 following Wed WORLD OF
RADIO, via Shortwave Gold Radio, Germany, the daily ``lullaby`` show,
``Karen Werner's "Night Air" from Bergen Art-Festival:
https://en.bergenassembly.no/2025
but as before, lasts only about 10 minutes, then 20 minutes of dead
air - or if there is any modulation, I can`t hear it in noise level.
Since 30 minutes are reserved for this, why not play the same thing
thrice? 2030 comes to life with pips, wrong timechex for 2200
somewhere, 2300 somewhere else, into music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715, Sept 17 at 1756, 9-note earworm IS of REE, 1759 s/on
for both 17715 to SAm and 15500 NAm -- NOT, still no 15500. REE can`t
even announce own frequencies correctly. 15500 was last heard on July
25, almost two months ago, with programming, altho occasionally later
with dead air only. Not even that for several weeks now.
It`s Wednesday, so there must be English at 2200: yes, s/on by Marilyn
Quintana only, S9+30/40 direct: this SAm signal really blasts into
NAm: wonder if they secretly slewed it a bit more thisaway from
registered 230 degrees from Noblejas; suspended 15500 was at 290 (but
alternatively 110!). She claims to be live at noon local time;
previews: new anti-smoking bill; author of a new book; Cervantes in
Algiers? 2202 news: La Vuelta de España ended early, Sunday as the
last leg in Madrid had to be canceled due to 100K demonstrators
protesting; 2209 about genocide in Gaza (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sept 16 at 2158, VOT S9+10 JBA direct; At 2252
into UTwente when measured, incredibly weak, S6/S7, 2253 JBA s/off, IS
to 2254.4*. Must be severe propagation disturbance? But at 2100 WWV
reported K-index only 2.33 and minor G1 storms past and future. Or
underpowered, offbeam? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sept 17 at 2159, VOT not off the air, IS, 2200
TS and s/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620, awry at Ankara, S9+10/20 direct.
At 2254 into UTwente when measured, s/off and IS barely one sesquitime

** U S A. 17790, Sept 16 at 2209, this WRMI is off already, but later?
Current websked shows RAN 1500-2130 and System D red at 2130-2200, but
System D sked itself shows 15770 only at 1500-2200. Something`s odd at
Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4840, Sept 17 at 0628, WWCR-3 is OFF, very unusual; while
5935 WWCR-2 is still on. By 1541 next check WWCR-3 is ON 13845, but
poor S9 signal into PEI remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17525, Sept 17 at 1754, S9+15 of WMLK with double dose of
DEJOM - two separate ``sermons`` at equal levels, as if trying to
outshout himself. Clearly neither DEJOM is aware the other is
speaking. Still so at next chex 1846, 1848. Hearing just one of them
is plenty to provoke a tune-on. Clearly no one at Bethel is listening
to own station -- or just can`t get enough of his BS [Bible study??],
so how can they expect anyone else to? By 2208 check, back to only one
DEJOM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 990, Sept 17 at 0635 UT, Spanish talk, and hymn, most likely
KFCD Farmersville TX, address in Dallas or Irving, SS:REL, U4 7000/920
watts from site NE of Dallas, atop CBW et al. when I was hoping to
detect XET Monterrey (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
