** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, July 29 at 1756, LRA36 already on with
music for a regular Saturday broadcast, S6/S8 into Argentine SDR.
After another internet outage here, at 1809 talking about weather and
how cold Base Esperanza has been in midwinter, -25 and -35 C. Which
reminds me to turn on my AC: 98F outside, 82 inside, tolerable but
getting uncomfortable. 1813 to song, and live greetings with full ID,
`Uniendo Voces` with staff present named. On a windy afternoon, 25
kph, only -13 C. 1817 about other Base, Marambio, where there are
birthdays. 1826 LRA36 ID with reverb, music, then RAE multi-lingual
ID, back to chat, about two FM stations inside Argentina relaying
this. 1829 greeting listeners including Manuel Méndez in Spain.
Crediting Univ. Nac. de Quilmes for produxion. 1830 contact info,
whatsapp, email, website. Renovation of program, Estudio 9. 1845
interviewing a child. 1850 song. At 1905 it`s still -13. Next check at
2054, still going but weakening. Allegedly also scheduled now before
18 on Fridays, unchecked here July 28 nor any reports of it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, July 29 at 0704, RHC extension still on, in Spanish,
S9/+10 and somewhat undermodulated. Also unusually with dirty
parasitic spurs plus/minus 3 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 11590, July 29 at 1457, unID language, fair signal and off.
This one really was KTWR in Kazakh at 1445-1500 per EiBi, as I tuned
on to 11880, see SWAZILAND (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.912 AM, July 29 at 0639, much better signal
than before from pirate presumed Late Night Lunatix, S9+10/20 direct
in a song. Many more logs now in HFUnderground, this date:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,116418.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6964.00, July 29 at 0645, JBA carrier seems silent,
probably a pirate. At HFU many logs around this frequency going back
years, but nothing tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1600 kHz, Saturday July 29 at 1506 UT, KUSH Cushing, not
with ``Americana`` main music format, but story about bison, 1607
outro National Native News! and ID as Native Voice One, the native
American radio network, right into drumming & chanting past 1515. What
could be more ``Americana`` than this? NNN had a CPB funding credit,
as mostly on public radio. Kudos to private/commercial KUSH for
devoting at least an hour a week to this.

https://www.1600kush.com/
leads to listen link:
http://crystalout.surfernetwork.com:8001/KUSH_MP3
which I switch to as more convenient and hifi than off-air direct
1600.
Website has everything except a plain old program sked, but see this:
https://www.1600kush.com/onair/native-air-with-hugh-foley

1524 another ID and more drumchant: lots of tribes do that so I can`t
guess which one now. 1533 National Native News again, in English; 1546
solo singing amid internet outages provided by subOptimum. By 1555
more Native News, about Guatemala. More outage until 1609 check now
with gospel huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO: I had been catching up on episodes of `A Day
to Remember` via ``samples`` on the PRX website, but that halted in
June, so I asked KUCO about it. As a result they are now available via
own website:
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-day-to-remember/id1699463301
as of Sat July 29 apparently only the past 5 weekday 2-minute episodes
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SWAZILAND. 11880, July 29 at 1458, TWR music box IS, S3/S7, ID may
have mentioned pending language. Thought it would be KTWR, but no, per
EiBi it`s Manzini in Somali, and via longpath across Indian & Pacific
Oceans. See also GUAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See GUAM

** U S A. 8992 USB, July 29 at 0646-0649* lengthy alfanumeric cryptic
US military message, training? with self-imposed whine, concluding ID:
``Assembly`` always a new word, never repeating? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2201 monitoring: confirmed what is

Also confirmed, Saturday July 29 at 1935 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, about
14 minutes into so started early circa 1921; so much storm noise from
north central MO that I could barely hear me, referring to Singapore
as a marker. Earlier at 1931 I thought it wasn`t me: of course, Vern

** U S A. Re 9955, WRMI, Friday July 28 at 2323, what I heard was not
Backwoods Radio, so never mind that link, but Backroads Radio as Mike
M advises at 0113 UT July 29: ``[WOR] Backroads Radio on WRMI Repeats
Same Two Songs --- Just listened to WRMI 9455 kHz at 0100 UT Saturday.
It is Backroads Radio. It repeats the same two songs over and over.
Not sure what is up with that.`` --- Backroads Radio is on the WRMI
skeds a few various times, but *not* when I heard it; nothing on the
Programming page (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11487 USB, July 29 at 0707, VP 2-way in English
including a YL voice, rather informal, including some tones at
cambios. Heard before on same frequency: Russian numbers station in
2018y per Observer, Bulgaria, and various other reports. I recall
hearing 2-way English before but can`t find it; maybe slightly
different frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 2358 UT July 29

** CHINA. 9545, July 28 at 2321, Chinese maybe echoing, S7/S9 with
heavy flutter. That would be CNR1 jamming against RFA Tibetan via
Tajikistan. Several similar sigs on 31m band only, the sweet spot now
for such propagation. BTW Aoki still has Solomon Islands the only
other on 9545, at 22-05, but believed inactive, not reported in
longtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, July 28 at 0715, overtime RHC Spanish S9+10 but JBM.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. It`s the only log I make this
late-night due to horrible S9+10 noise level all over the bands:
suspect from neighbor and/or thru power lines. I may have to rely even
more on remote receivers, but many of them also have `line noise`
problems. Abated by 15 UT enough to tell that propagation is now
degraded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, July 28 at 2316, RHC S9/+10 of dead air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri July 28 at 2200, token English from SNR, intro as
interview with some French composer/singer living in Spain, still no
news. Good into Maryland SDR, confirmed also active on 17715, 15520,
11670 and over to TURKEY instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.006, July 28 at *2159, VOT tries to start, cuts right
off, comes back at *2201 to stay on 11785.009. Heavy modulation almost
tolerable distortion in talk, horrible in music. Top news about Niger
coup. 2210 `Review of Turkish Press`. 2212.5 music. 2220 multi-lingual
ID filler reel. 2222 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring`, repeat
about persimmons. 2229 music. 2234 ``Always By Your Side`` promo. 2238
`Did You Know That`, by badax, repeat about WWI peace treaty during
Ottoman Empire. 2242 two more distorted musix. 2249 ``With You Every
Hour`` promo, music. 2253 always defective s/off announcement,
fragment of IS chopped off at 2254.6*, no finesse. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2201 monitoring. WRMI 9955 JBA Fri
July 28 at 1455, enough to tell it`s not WOR for the third week tho
still on the websked.

Confirmed Friday July 28 at 2051 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,

** U S A. 9955, Fri July 28 at 2323, WRMI with email in English for, I
think, backwoodsradioshow@gmail.com certainly not RAE relay in
Portuguese as claimed thrice in schedule grids. No such name anywhere
on the skeds, nor on the Programming page. We do wish Jeff would
assign someone to keeping his displayed skeds up to date. Assumed
music, but maybe this drama podcast I searched out:
https://www.backwoodspod.com/ with horrible disgusting illustrations,
nothing about WRMI, and a different email (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat July 29 at 0000 on WBCQ webcast, minute of
dead air after lo-fi feed from FKB gospel huxter finishes; 0001 JIP
`AAAWWW` theme, and soon obvious it`s a repeat of last week where he
goes political despite audience hating it. Is it quadricast again? At
least I recheck sigs into Maryland SDR: 7490 -72 Hz = 7489.928; 6160
-68 Hz = 6159.932; 5130 & 3265, no signals, just storm crashes (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0048 UT July 29

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 10125 USB, July 27 at 0653, Oz accented hams
again in QSO or net but JBA and still can`t copy any individual calls;
on same frequency CW is HK3QQ, Bogotá, slowly sending letters in
keyboard sequence with errors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 5909.952, July 27 at 0641, tropical music at S8/S9,
better signal than usual from always off-frequency Alcaraván Radio.
Brief burst of ``running water`` ute QRM.

Manuel Méndez in Spain reports: ``Alcaravan Radio 5910 on air again
after about 10 days out. Log in Oleiros, La Coruña, NW of Spain,
Sangean ATS-909X, cable antenna, 8 meters. COLOMBIA, 5910, Alcaraván
Radio, Puerto Lleras, 0450-0526, 27-07, religious and Latin American
songs, Spanish, religious comments, Colombian songs “Llaneras”.
25432.``

However, I don`t think it had been totally off. In regular bandscans I
had been crossing a JBA offset carrier, but not logged. Now there is
also a JBA carrier on 6010, probably Brasil rather than still inactive
sibling station LV de tu Conciencia.

Ron Howard also replied: ``Greetings, Manuel, from California. July
27, at 0742 & 0910 UT, heard a decent level carrier on 5910 kHz, but
no audio at all; normally in the past I always had good audio here.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2201)

** CUBA. 6100, July 27 at 0646, undermodulated Spanish wIth
humbuzzwhine, no doubt RHC where something`s always wrong.

5025, July 27 at 0650, S9+20/30 of dead air except for some humbuzz,
from R. Rebelde, something`s always wrong at Radio Cuba. David
Crawford, FL replied to my previous reports, July 27 at 0156 UT:
``Tonight's treat is what sounds like video buzz, rather than the
recently-typical Rebelde FM audio, on 5025. And after the one reported
active "sunset" session, HM01 has been quiet again since, at least for
the local midday and sunset schedules. I have not checked the
madrugada scheduled times and freqs.``

Ron Howard, CA replies later on July 27: Cuba (5025) noted at 0743 &
0909 UT, with strong carrier, along with a strong hum, but no audio.
Ron`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2201)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.1, July 27 at 0628, JBA presumed Late Night
Lunatix, pirate, as Lucas Bandura, who got it identified, also noted
it at 0453: ``On right now with music. Weak direct in British
Columbia, S7 on the Northern Utah KiwiSDR.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 7620, July 27 at 0633 UT, JBA sportstalk, surprisingly
here. Sounds like one of my strongest locals, 1390 KCRC, indeed
matches and synchronized. Same program is on 1640 KZLS, but out of
synch. How does this get on 7620? It fades a bit and is gone a few
minutes later. Suspect external mixing with some strong real SW
signal, but plus or minus 1390 leads to nothing likely on 6230 or
9210. Not an obvious harmonic: only even fundamental on MW would be
1270 X 6. Could be some station there on same net, but not in OK
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO )

** OKLAHOMA. RF17, July 26 in daytime, K17JN-D is definitely back on
air at usual local translator strength with satellator panoply of 3ABN
subchannels; Enid`s only local TV signal, embarrassingly for a city of
50K. For a while we had locally programmed LPTV, KXOK 32, ``TV-OK``,
gone as of 8 years ago. See my log report of July 21, 2015. At least I
still have their mug as a souvenir (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, 17715, 15520, 11670, Wed July 26 at 2200, token
English from SNR not checked at all as I was concentrating on ROMANIA
in the absence of TURKEY. But I didn`t miss anything worthwhile.

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CUBA. 15140, July 26 at 0424, JBA carrier, presumed RHC per
previous track record, daytime frequency at night, as nothing else is
scheduled. 15230 also still on, JBA, nominally to 0500 tho China also
sked. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also
CHINA [non]

** CUBA. 11850, July 26 at 0425, RHC Spanish JBM, always with
parasitic JBA spur carriers on 11840, and QRMing jamming against
nothing on 11860. 11850 is *never* heard with decent modulation, yet
the incompetents keep running it thus. Aoki & EiBi both say 21-05 via
Quivicán but miss the spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

26 de julio! Time for my annual tribute to The Revolution with a
modified motto: ``Patria o suerte, ¡pensaremos!``, or ``Patria o
suerte, ¡huiremos!`` Once again I invite photographic evidence of
either being scrawled upon any public surface in Cuba, preferably
identified (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, July 26 at 1938 UT, KIMY Watonga has finally
resumed modulation after ~2 days of dead air (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11800, July 26 at 2203, RRI English, VG modulation and
signal S9+45 into UTwente. News about security situation along Black
Sea due to Russia`s war. 2206 sports about a swimmer. 2207 about
severe weather in July, heat alerts up to 42C in shade, hi winds to 90
kph, rain measured in litres per square meter. I wonder what would be
the conversion factor to our ``inches``. 2211 end of newscast, Sports
Club, on 89th birthday of Leon Rachman?, Olympic champion in 1956,
went from wrestling to wrowing. 2214, `Hit of the Day`, a nice song
``Inseparable``. 2217 ID and `Society Today`, 62% have never stepped
in a Museum and only 33% go in once or twice a year. Experts are
worried about figures but not panicked. Musea should actively attract
visitors rather than passively wait for them to show up. 2224 music
break, song called ``Time``. 2227 `Visit Romania`, travel feature
about where to hike in eroded mountains. 2231 `Focus on Romania` as I
started to record for listening later, but somehow it stopped.
Apparently UTwente froze or went offline, still off when I checked by
2320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, July 26 at 2200, no-show of VOT English into

** U S A. 9455, July 26 at 0058, RAE multi-lingual IDs, S9+10 direct
but just barely modulated again. 0059.5 cut to canned ``Everglades``
WRMI ID with OK modulation, 0100 rejoin JBM RAE multi-lingual IDs.
Transmitter grid does show 0000-0200 System K at 0100 going from
Japanese hour to Spanish RAE. But bright green System K sked itself
shows 9455, two hours of `Legends` at 0000-0200, except Sundays `The
Mighty KBC`. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.1 approx., July 26 at 0421 direct, JBA music in HSNL,
as WBCQ 300-watt 24/7 test? continues, why? At least the juice bill on

** U S A. Large tropo blobs have developed N and E with Enid on the

35, 34, 31, 26, 22, 21, 17, 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.

RF8, decoding: KPTS also virtual 8, PBS Kansas from Wichita. Not far
but I rarely get this on my OKC-directed antenna. And it`s in solid,
so I explore all its subs: 8-2 Explore, 8-3 Create, 8-4 Kids. I`m
unfamiliar with Explore, one sub-brand of PBS? Instead of `World` on
OETA-2. I go to the websked, and see some of the same programming, but
others never in OK, like `Democracy Now`! KPTS also offers live video
of 8-1 and 8-4, but requires location info, then denies me as
``outside coverage area``! AFAIK, OETA is not geo-restricted for its
main PBS channel streaming. Could others outside OK in USA and even
elsewhere try it? Claims ``anytime, anywhere`` but despite the
separate 100% PBS Kids on OETA-4, OETA-1 is nothing but kidvid all day
weekdays: https://www.oeta.tv/live/

Ironically, I am not in OETA coverage area right now, 13, KETA ``13``
a bad signal not decoding. Besides local harmonic of KNID 107.1 on
214.2 right in RF 13 video band which is always a problem, tropo is
probably knocking it out with DX QRM. There are three full-power 13s
in KS: KUPK Garden City ``cupcake``, cute satellite of KAKE ``10``, 63
kW ERP; KFJX Pittsburg, 45.1 kW; and WIBW Topeka, 65.5 kW, all per FCC
info.

The only other decodes now are from Tulsa market, axually drawn in
from Muskogee & Okmulgee; 20 KQCW 19-1, and 28 ION 44-1 (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. A few weeks ago, two of my favorite streaming stations from
my homestate of NM, started failing when pressing button on own
homepages: KUNM Albuquerque, but got it to work on Winamp; KSFR Santa
Fe not even that way. I dislike streaming aggregators, but finally try
that for KSFR and do get it via

in `Map Is Not Territory`, with The Invisible Man, UT Wed July 26 at
04-06. And also anticipate `Beyond Borders`, Thu 15-18 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.141, July 26 at 0641, JBA talk vs HSNL, maybe
English. Nothing listed in Aoki or EiBi, but HFCC shows BULGARIA
on 7300 at 0200-0600, 100 kW at 110 degrees. Possibly TOMBS via
Sofia, tho not typically so far off-frequency, and rather late to
propagate. Nor anything listed anywhere on 7295 or 7305 at this hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7431.55 USB approx., July 26 at 0045, apparent MARS net.
Had a hard time finding the sweet spot for readability due to weak and
intermittent signals, HSNL. Most calls truncated, 5 + two letters.
Mixed with some digibursts. Adjacent QRM from 7435 jamming against
nothing, Martí not there at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
