** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Aug 6 at 0616 UT, dash and YXL, my #1 Canadian
beacon, SiouX Lookout, Ontario, JBA vs summer noise level, harbinger
of improving fall conditions? In nightly bandscans, not detectable
even a carrier since June 25; 500 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, Aug 6 at 1457, Trenton Military not off the air
but JBA, timecheck still two minutes slow, ``1455``. One hopes that in
matters of life & death, Canadian forces be a bit more accurate (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1680, Aug 6 circa 1930 UT, peaking at crossroads of US81
& US 412 = S Van Buren and W Owen K Garriott in Enid, rock music and
promo of classic rock, did not hear ID as Virtual DJ Radio this time,
but sounds like the same as usual; for the record (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, Wed Aug 6 at 2159, token English from SNR is still
OFF the air to N America, the other three as usual audible direct,
15390, better 15520 S8/9+10 and best 17715 S9/+20, going from jazz to
TS and English opening, preview features to be about genealogical
tourism, and a festival 8-10 Aug for The Boss, ``Born in the U-S-A``.
2202 news: 80th anniversary of American A-bombing of Hiroshima and
then Nagasaki. 140,000 killed in Hiroshima then or later; more Gazans
killed by a truck, 188 dead of famine [is that all?]; Drumpf threatens
EU with 35% tariff, reduced to 15% effective 7 Aug; about
asylum-seeking miners/minors in Canarias.

2205 BOMBSHELL announcement: REE`s token English of 3 x 30 min per
week is about to become even more token. From Sept 1, only once,
Wednesdays at 10 am UT - presumably meaning on the radio, but you can
still listen online, or satellite? at other times. Go to www.RNE.es -
Will need to listen again to get exact wording. 
https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/english-language-broadcast/
They will hardly need TWO English announcers any more. 2206
genealogical tourism, new? thing to visit ancestral locales (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.023, Aug 6 at 2158, no signal direct from VOT,
erroneous at Emirler, so I concentrate on SPAIN, q.v.; but is on the
air at next check 2208 already with the 2-minute multi-lingual ID
filler reel, so there must not have been much olds; 2210 music. There
is an annoying het/squeal not a constant pitch on the plus side,
roughly 11785.4, same on both my antennas. At 2230 into UTwente when
measured, S9+55, same squeal, so I think it a transmission defect
rather than QRM, erroneous at Emirler.  2238 & 2246
``always-by-your-side`` promo twice with music between. 2253 s/off as
if 17620 at 1230, something`s always awry at Ankara. 2254 IS. 2256
pause and restart IS with extraneous German IDs, erroneous till
2258.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2306 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
August 5 from 2331 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003-, S8/9+5 into
UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday August 6 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20
into Knoxville remote. 

Also confirmed Wednesday August 6 at 1931 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.001- S9/+15 and 3975.002+ S9/+15 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 6 at 2100 on WBCQ 7489.92 after TOMBS,
ID; Maryland SDR had heavy ute? noise QRM on minus side, unsure if
local, mostly evitable by USB tuning. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;

WORLD OF RADIO appearance UT Saturday at 0300 - but a lot could happen
in ~54 hours (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)

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)

** 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

** 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:

** 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.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 5 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9 direct but
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.

** 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)

** 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)
