** CUBA [non]. As of Oct 22 at 0634 UT, I have realized that Cuban
whoopers, or wobblers, or squeakers as I have sometimes called them,
have not been heard for almost two months during routine latenight MW
bandscans. Last noted under WWL 870 was August 16; under WHO 1040 on
August 19; and once under WSB 750 on August 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11915, Oct 22 at 1720, JBA carrier, presumed Station
YHWH tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ, who was hearing him at 1705,
and: ``By 1722 was doing those long deep fades where it is hard to
know if he went off, or just at the bottom of a fade`` --- ``Thanks,
Rick! At 1735 UT, YHWH (11915) mostly fair reception, heard via remote
at Palomar Mt. #1, S. Calif. Ron`` Howard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1680, Oct 22 at 2230 UT, Virtual DJ Radio, relay in Enid
is OFF, nor on ex-1670 or any other X-band channel. Had been extremely
reliable since first discovered Nov 29, 2024, signals always peaking
near the junxion of US 81 and US 412 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715, Wed Oct 22 at 2203, no REE signal into UTwente, and
only S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, and NOT in English, rather Spanishish.
So much for our only weekly dose? 15520 & 15390 even worse JBA and no
15500. But next check at 2242, 17715.0135 achieves S5/S7 into
Maryland, but only poor and by now *is* in English, MQ reciting
imminent B25 frequencies, including 9680, typo? instead of 9690,
should it really be on air at all. By then, English should be at 23-24
Wednesdays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Oct 22 at 2202, VOT not off the air, English
S9+50 into UTwente. Already off by next check 2254 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

6160.000+ S9/+10 with RTTYditty on plus side, and 3975.002-, clear

** U S A. 9955, Oct 22 at 1759, JBA carrier, must be WRMI which is
supposedly on internet only from 16 to 21 UT System C during RAE
Argentina in German. Via Georgia remote, at 1805, pop music S9+25;
1829 WRMI ID in English, more music, songs in unknown and unannounced
language and // the stream. Separate RAE skedblock does not show any
such transmission on any frequency or System. Searching entire program
grids does not find 9955 on any other System during these hours.
Something`s odd at Okee. By next check at 2009, 9955 really is off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
