** BOLIVIA. 6145, Aug 6 at 0342, and a couple hours earlier into
Brasília SDR, still no signal from R. Betania, nor ever heard since
first and only surprise appearance July 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9670, Aug 6 at 0254, ``Country Roads`` song during
propagation test by Pop Shoppe Radio on Channel 292, S7/8 direct vs hi
noise level. // 6070, of course, blocked by CFRX. Also audible in
following hour with music from something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27224.56 AM, Aug 6 at 2032, Enid CB pirate back on air,
S9+20 JBM but matchable to 105.5 K288FX translator of KYLV 88.9 K-Love
OKC. Also on 27184.88, slightly weaker S9+15 but merely undermodulated
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PANAMA. 28282 CW, Aug 6 at 2205, VVV HP1DCP/B and long message
follows presumably gridsquare and website ending with .COM, JBA with
fadeouts. QRZ.com: ``HP1DCP Panama flag Panama, RENE IVAN FONSECA,
P.O.BOX 0819-09911, REP. OF PANAMA, Panama`` with photos. Not in WGB
roster on any frequency! 3568 km = 2217 statute miles. Only other
beacon on band:

28160- CW, Aug 6 at 2208, even weaker, VVV DE HP1RIS/B + another long
message ending with .COM 73. QRZ.com: ``HP1RIS Panama flag Panama,
Ricardo I Schwarz, P.O.Box: 0835-00515, Panama Rep. de Panama, Centro
America, Panama. HP1RIS/B, 10 meter beacon, 28.159.5 mhz, 1/4 wave
whip, 5 watts``. And WGB roster: ``28159.5   HP1RIS/B - Panama City
PNR FJ09ga - #0 (21 Jan 2023) Note: pwr 5w`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA. 21300.08 USB, Aug 6 at 2038, RW1A, Vlad, calling QRZ and
working UStations: after no activity on 28 or 24 MHz bands, and first
signal hit tuning down from 21450. Only one other SSB audible on this
band in tuneacross. Call fonetikaly so no doubt. QRZ.com: ``RW1A
Russia flag Russia, Vladimir Aksenov, ul. Perevoznaya 6/11 of 3.3,
St-Petersburg 190121, Russia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.417, Aug 6 at 1958, no noise but good Arabic
modulation, and way off-frequency. UTwente won`t synch on it from
11935.0 but will from 11935.5, S9+20/30. In case anyone doubt this
still be ``Republic of Yemen Radio``, ID at 2013 amid music mentioning
Yemen and Sana`a. Check direct at 2030, JBA carrier about 11935.4
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 6 at 0333, VOT English not off the air with
music, much better on this INTRUDER frequency aimed at N America than
JBA carrier on // 6165 for S Asia. However, an Indian on `Letterbox`
said 7275 was much better for him.

Re comments on VOT `Letterbox` --- ``The English Section of TRT don`t
appear to understand the difference between someone sending regular
monitoring reports to let them know how their transmissions are being
received in the target area! I have not asked for any QSL. In fact I
haven`t chased QSLs for well over 40 years. Craig Tyson, Perth``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 6 at 2158, no signal direct yet from VOT
English; 2159 a JBA carrier? *2200.4 cuts on late at S9 - of dead air,
vs noise level of S8. Never any mod until 2202* off again, and still
off at 2204, 2219, and also absent at 2233 check into UTwente.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2254 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday August 6 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 direct vs high storm
noise level = HSNL.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 6 at 1311 the 1300 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9
direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 6 at 2006 the 2000 on IRRS via AM
Italia, 1322.9944, S8/S9 into UTwente across Europe. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Aug 6 at 0332, WRNO in presumed Hindi, YL conveying
address pronoucing numbers both in Hindi and English: P O Box 895,
Fort Worth TX 76101, repeated, and gmail, S9+30/40 direct. I continue
to wonder how well this reach India considerably after sunrise, but
the nominal 20 degree azimuth from Metairie LA should be appropriate,
originally intended only for N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Aug 6 at 0340 music vs HSNL, and JBA music at
0653. Generically IDs as ``Estación 4940`` but now Manuel Méndez,
Spain heard it called ``Onda Corta 4940``. Most nights checked around
0630 it`s absent.

Yet it has an alter-ego which QSLs, thought to be phony: ``QSL. Radio
La Montana 4940 KHz - Arauca - Colombia con QSL elettronica allegata
da radiolamontana (at) gmail(dot)com in 12 giorni per rapporto inviato
allo stesso indirizzo di mail.`` Roberto Pavanello, Italia (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 631.0 kHz, August 5 at 0630 UT, het very close to 1 kHz
against 630 stations. Trouble is, this is not a TA/TP frequency, as
the 9-kHz plan coincides with the 10- on 630. Must be something
off-frequency. Terry Krueger, FL, reported: ``631 CUBA Radio Progreso,
Camagüey, Camagüey 0940 6/9/24 Presumed. As discovered by Mark
Connelly in early May, this one continues and very strong with no
audio here (and nothing on 629 kc/s -- though audio from 630 is fine).
I believe David Crawford pulled tiny Progreso audio out of it
recently. Points central/eastern Cuba from here. If so, this is the
only Prog on the channel. Something is always wrong in, well you
know.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 5 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+30
direct and the other three much weaker but detectable, preview topic
about a social media fad to over-expose yourself to the Sun as
beneficial, which it certainly is not. Did not catch the name of this
nonsense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004, Sunday August 4 at 2200, VOT English S9+40/50
into UTwente. S/on as the 1230 on 17620 and news, or rather olds, by
the heavily accented Ms. Efsun Duri Ergeler, and some sports until
2215, `Weekly Analysis` by some professor about Turkey/Syria
relations. 2222 `Letterbox` introduced by Halil Íbrahim Sarıkaya. Says
he would like to go on holiday with his family, but he adopted two
Anatolian cats from the street a few years ago; besides it`s too hot
to go east or south of Ankara on his motorcycle. Then goes thru
letters, mostly regulars from India, and more than one each but in
jumbled order, mostly just wanting QSLs, some from W Bengal. Also
Howard Barnett?, Northampton, England who is still waiting for a
previous QSL. Craig Tyson, Perth, Australia, and again and again =
thrice wanting QSLs only. The person from ``Letonia`` again. 2236,
time`s up, address, ``goodbye, my lovely dear listeners, goodbye`` and
2237 music fill before `L`box` outro at 2243, then more music. 2249
headlines. 2252 s/off and IS to 2253*. Last 10 minutes or so is fading
down noticeably (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug 4 at 2200, VOT English not off the air,
S9+30 direct including high noise level, unlistenable. 2224 into
UTwente when measured, S9+45/50 in music. 2226 `That`s Why` with Ms.
Efsun Duri Ergeler ``(Ms. Badax)`` introducing herself, about a trick
question, which is heavier, a kilo of iron or a kilo or cotton? i.e.,
explaining relations among weight, gravity and mass. 2232 music. 2237
multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2239 music. 2254 s/off ignoring SW, IS.
2256 restart IS with IDs in German. 2300 s/on German, Alten to 2304*
chop. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2254 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
August 4 at 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.002 at S7/S9 and
6160.000 JBA S6/S7 into UTwente during degraded propagation.

Also confirmed Sunday August 4 at 2351 the 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+10/20
into Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 5 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, noisy S7 into
Georgia, but much better than JBA into Querétaro, closer to azimuth,
but further into dayside and with degraded propagation conditions.

Also confirmed Monday August 5 at 1955 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.012- at S9+5/10 but // 3975.002- also S9+5/10 into
UTwente sounds stronger. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];
2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy;

** U S A. 9955, Aug 5 at 0652, WRMI is off again. I detect a pattern
here: a Monday thing, while otherdays stays on past 0700 or all-night.
It was also off on Mondays July 29, 22, 15, 8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 5 at 0641, KLEY ID for 104.1 & 1130, exactly
when I tune across, under KWKH sportstalk. The cheatery continues.
Obviously cannot be only one watt as licensed for night (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1240.2, Aug 5 at 0640 UT, het against 1240.0 graveyard
pileup. Probably KCRT Trinidad CO, as IDed long ago, but would be nice
if someone close enough in the daytime could measure it. Carrier
wobbles a bit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9178-9220 approx., Aug 5 at 0645, multi-carrier ute
making tones beating against each other, rather strong when
northerlies are suppressed like 9330. What is this? Similarthings
upshow elsewhere on utebands, e.g. circa 17450 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
