13780, 11950, 11760. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT [non]. 9440, Oct 7 at 2115 and after 2200, no signal from R.
Cairo sesquihour in English. How long has it been since anyone heard
it, even dead air? At least other stations courteously keep it clear,
China between 2100 & 2300; BBC not on until 2200. The A25 mostly?
imaginary R. Cairo sked:

All are on 9 MHz band, no doubt an antenna limitation. Any of the
others ever heard? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. Oct 7 at 2025 UT, several cable TV channels
freeze or go to black, via Optimum [sic] in Enid. No apologies or
stand-bys on screen, but probably solar transit outages affecting the
particular satellite they feed through: MSNBC, CNN, HLN, USA at least.
By 2030/2031 they begin to melt/resume (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 28183 CW, Oct 7 at 2204, VVV XE1RCS/B - familiar beacon but
still missing from WGB roster; see my March 31 log for 28182, at Cerro
Gordo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORWAY [non]. 3975.002-, Oct 7 at 2000, SW Gold Radio, GERMANY,
singing lullabyes but Karen includes some talk about her background as
an immigrant adoptee; dozing/deadair starts this time at 2014. 2030,
mod resumes with SWR ID and upbeat music until 2100 when there is no
outro. But into Feature Story News. Unclear whether the second
semihour be part of `Night Air`, but sked implies it`s a daily full
hour, nothing else at 2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** POLAND [non]. 17790, Oct 7 at 2201, this WRMI still on with PRES in
English, mistake? Unknown for how long but gone by 2217 check (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.010, Oct 7 at 2203, no signal direct from VOT
English, but on by 2219 with music, S9+10 with flutter direct. At 2247
into UTwente when measured, S9+40/45 with music. Something`s always
awry at Ankara: 2254 s/off still imagines it be the 1230 broadcast on
17620, and IS. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler: 2256 restarts
IS with German IDs. 2300 TS and s/on German for two broadcasts, not
this one! Finally turned off at 2314* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
