DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated Aug 5:http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
** CUBA. 13780, Aug 5 at 1419, ballad almost sounds religious, but
soon Spanish talk from RHC, S4/S5; and // 15230 S3/S4 but suptorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

13780, Aug 5 at 2215, Spanish talk S9+20/30 and // 15230 S9+10/20 but
suptorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, YHWH: Ron Howard replies to my previous report
with a clip of Josiah starting with ID; and you can hear how his views
are *anti*-Christ, altho he`s often referred to as ``religious``:
``Hi Glenn - YHWH (7475) at 0344 UT, on Aug 5, heard via Kiwi SDR
remote at Palomar Mt. #1, So. Calif., with ID.  My remote audio -
https://app.box.com/s/xuf5skh5051ulrs59jrfnbn8jorbrw5j ;
Ron, Monterey, Calif.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, Aug 5 at 2216, this REE for NAm is still off, the
others, 15390, 15520 and 17715 still on; if it`s Tuesday, must not be
English, ho hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.003+, Aug 5 at 2219, VOT not off the ari, S9+10/20
direct but JBA. At 2241 into UTwente when measured, S9+50 but
undermodulated music. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7615 USB, Tue Aug 5 at 1411, a Civil Air Patrol net with
colorful tactical calls, NCS being Fast Runner 33 TCTF, taking
checkins, trying to arrange relays for traffic. Others mentioned, not
necessarily heard themselves: Mockingbird, Yellow Brick 17, Clear
Skies. Per this 2009y roster, Mockingbird is Mississippi; Yellow Brick
is Kansas, but can`t find the others:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2306 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday August
5 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+30/35 into S Texas SDR. Beamed SW from
Okee, I never get such a strong 7780 signal here to the NW.

JBA.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 5 at 1405 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, S3/S8
JBA direct. 

Also confirmed Tuesday August 5 at 2020 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.994+, S7 into UTwente, still not on 918 or 207 kHz.

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, Aug 5 at 2212, WRMI S9+10/20 direct, stronger than it
should be toward S America, ``we are overcomers`` ! but not BS, the
Redneck and musing, ``before we go off the air in a few days``, and
``America`s going to die before it`s 230 years of age`` -- NOT, whew.
If referring to 1776, this crap dates from 2005 or so. At 2221, //
9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, Aug 5 at 0653, S9+50 of dead air in English, obviously
WWCR-4 on for some reason, supposedly off; registered available 02-12
UT but programming only at 02-04 Tue-Sat. Also produces leapfrog
mixing product at S9 on 5980, another 45 kHz beyond 5935 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12050, Aug 5 at 1417, English sermon from WEWN R. Católica
Mundial, but merely a bit during voice-over translation to Spanish.
All-English frequency 15610 has been gone for longtime (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Aug 5 at 1300 & 1405 checking WOR on 9955, I also
perceive direct a JBA carrier, presumed can only be RV, modulated or
not overnight, as nothing else is listed anywhen on 9960. Aoki shows
RV is supposedly *off* at 1102*-*1959 & 0658*-*0958; EiBi only
1105*-*1830. Or possibly harmonic of 4980, 3320, 1660, 830; but no
tropicals currently active on 4980 or 3320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Tue Aug 5 at 0149, I luck out on a day the token
English is not run over by sports, which seemed to precede it with
excessive enthusiasm. Unfortunately I`m listening via the ``local``
SDR in ``Brasila`` which hardly gets a local-quality signal, only
S3/S7, so I can`t fully understand everything. YL voice is talking
about Dominican Republic musical influences on Brasil, mentions
sertanejo with snippet examples. 0154 it`s over already, outro
English, ID as RNB International Service, switch to Spanish, YL voice
but Brasilian accent, same subject, mentions cumbia, bolero, bachata.
0159 RNA Portuguese s/off, then IDs for MW and FM frequencies in Rio
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, August 4 at 0517, JBA/carrier, presumed
Station YHWH. Have not heard exactly how he IDs lately, but letters
Y-H-W-H avoids the thorny issue of which vowels to insert, other wacky
religionists dispute over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, Mon Aug 4 at 2215, dead air in token English to N
America from SNR; but into UTwente the other three well audible:
15520.001 S9+20, 15389.992 S9+15 and 17715.014 S9+15 all into UTwente.
By 0020 direct, only 17715 remains on, VG direct. One wonders if each
antenna be hardwired into a certain transmitter; or can they choose
which beam is most dispensable? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 4 at 2215, NO signal from VOT English for us,
into UTwente, nor accidentalternate 9875. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. LW/MW beacon bandscan, Aug 5 at 1410+ UT daytime, noise

** U S A. 7570, Aug 4 at 0519, weather info including current? temp in
Miami and other cities, request music. Is this really live? System C
sked now shows `Legends` daily 0100-0600 on 5050 & 7570. But
transmitter grid atop shows Legends 01-04 on 5050, 04-06 on 7570, and
no longer scattered on other frequencies and times (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Correxion! Originally wrote ``9320/9340``; fixed:
9930, July 30 at 2215, WTWW S9+40/50 direct, but NO
widespread splatter unlike yesterday, not even +/- 12.8 kHz discrete
spurs, just a bit of raised noise 9920/9940 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 780, UT Mon at 0526, WBBM with very familiar piece about
IVF, I had heard/seen 6 hours earlier on CBS TV, i.e. the soundtrack
of `60 Minutes` - yes, shown on hard to find plain old program
schedule on website 
https://www.audacy.com/stations/wbbm780/shows/show-schedule ;
as 11 pm Sundays but this is 12+ am CDT Monday. 

On air, WBBM ignores AM frequency 780 for 105.9 branding, not so much
on web. BTW, per WTFDA FMDB, the *real* WBBM-FM is 96.3, only 3.3 kW
with ``rhythmic CHR`` format. 105.9 is really WCFS-FM in Elmwood Park,
only 4.1 kW, i.e. minuscule coverage compared to 780 tho 482 m HAAT.
In both FM cases, you`d think they could do much better. At least it`s
not a mere translator, as for so many ``FM`` AM stations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7235, Aug 4 at 0513, JBA carrier already on direct,
contrary to my previous remark that not before 0600. Still no idea
whence. QRhaM from QSO on 7238 LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7263 LSB, Aug 4 at 0515, QSO constantly interrupted by
naughty ham uttering ``*ucking losers`` and other rude remarx. Seemed
to have something to do with Drumpf. They ignore him as if can`t hear
him (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7680, Aug 5 at 0022 UT, JBA carrier, can`t make out
enough modulation to // 960, but suspiciously = 960 x 8 = local KGWA.
Normally don`t hear much harmonicizing from it beyond 1920 or 2880.
Nor anything on 3840 now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6754 USB, Aug 3 at 0125, CHR not off the air, VOLMET for
Comox, Victoria, Vancouver; and Abbotsford, which is a 133K+ suburb
east of Vancouver even closer to the WA border; in fact my atlas has
to place its name on the US side. Have not run across any `no report

minutes slow, ``0125 zulu`` when it`s really 0127. Richard Langley,
NB, reports:

``While checking 6754 kHz USB last night (3 August UTC) starting
around 02:20 UTC, reception was normal with actual weather a but few
minutes before 02:30, there was a "Trenton Military out" statement and
