** EAST TURKISTAN [non?]. 17615, August 4 at 0638, Chinese traditional
music at S8/9+10, the SSOB by far, besides several carriers or JBA
carriers propagating on 16m in the summer nightmiddle. Probably CGTN
German service from Kashgar, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide
against Uighurs and other Moslems; but simulscheduled is CRI in
Chinese via Kunming. Is the entire German hour, like several other
languages, defaulting to fill music? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, August 4 at 0646 UT, ``The Five States` Big Talker,
KGYN`` Guymon ID, mentions Jim Bohannon, but not his voice. Seems the
78-year-old has been out for some time with health issues, but a
seemingly recent item says he is now coming back, thanking three
substitutes. Can no longer find any affiliate list on the web (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 4 at 0500-0507, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:

occupy Donbas completely; being repulsed in the south, such as 50
settlements in Kherson region liberated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

on WRMI 5010, not solid with storm crashes, both into Maryland SDR.

WOR 2150 should be ready for download and first broadcasts on WRMI
5850 & 7730, UT Friday August 5 at 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7730, UT Thursday August 4 at 0100-0130, WRMI VG with Radio
Carpathia International, music from E Europe. This test spot provided
by R. Northern Europe International with own show at 0130-0200. Both
hosted by YLs, who they are and where they are not clear. Presumably
not on a weekly basis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, August 4 at 0648 UT, ``The Voice of Southern Gospel
Singing, news? Radio, AM 1090, KAAY`` promo. Big sig, so is it still
on 12.5 kW? FCC AM Query still shows 50 kW direxional at night, with
0.08 kW only a CP, and nothing about 12.5 kW. Until digging into the
Correspondence file, latest from July 14:

http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=102873
Has been on 12.5 kW ND STA for over 2 years, but got another extension
until January 14, 2023. Why is it so tough to get an 80 watt
transmitter up and running? Meanwhile the other 1090s and DXers will
have to put up with KAAY QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1160, August 4 at 0644 UT, ``la santísima virgen``
mentioned in Spanish, ergo something RCC in the Marian cult. Last
year`s NRC AM Log shows some EWTN stations on 1160, but all in
English. Among SS stations in USA, only REL is: WRLZ, Saint Cloud FL,
U4 2500/500 watts. No website but owned by Iglesia el Calvario de

only one 1160 left, in BC, non-religious. 1170 Tulsa IBOC peaking 1157

Wonder if will make up Friday circa 1800 as happened recently?
Otherwise try Sat circa 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9818.793, August 3 at 0627, JBA carrier presumed R. Nove de
Julho on signature off-frequency, also reported at a different time by
Manuel Méndez, Spain on 9818.8. Checked here for only other ZY on 31m
overnight while RVM missing from 9665v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, Aug 3 at 0636, this RHC English is on tonight, unlike
last night this late, and better than 6060, while 6100 and 6000 are
off; 5040 still on in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, August 3 at 2126, S9+35/50 of humwhine with traces
of English? modulation spikes into UTwente. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, August 3 at 0710 UT, PN, 25 watt ND beacon
at PoNca City is back on air; had been missing since July 31 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wednesday August 3 at 2200 UT, REE still no English,
but more of `Canciones Ténebres` about Cuba. Following links below for
what`s supposedly on now, `El Guateque`, that program last aired on
14/02/2020! Alan Roe has found a webpage of program predixions for the
next sextaday showing English will resume on UT Monday 8 August:
https://www.rtve.es/play/guia-rne/radioexterior/6-dias/

But this is very confusing: it does show English for Martes 09 at
00:00 = which is local time, i.e. UT Monday 2200; but it does not
correctly show what is axually airing today Wednesday 2200 UT = Jueves
04 at 00:00: For ``hoy`` at 00:00 at first claims Emisión Sefardí,
which is really at 2200 UT Tuesdays; yet ``mañana`` at 00:00, `Amigos
de la Onda Corta`, the media (hardly DX) program in Spanish, but that
must refer to local Friday, since the following tab is labeled sábado
06! AdlOC should really appear at 2200 UT Thursdays. Something`s
messed up in Madrid. It also shows when on the local day English is at
00:00, it`s also at 04:00 = 0200 UT. Unfortunately, that`s exactly
when the SW transmitters close down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 3 at 0500-0505, UR1 via WRMI, VG into
Maryland SDR, `Ukraine: Security Issue` for Aug 2 = Day 160 of
Tsar-war, this time by the OM announcer with heaviest accent, yet who
also speaks trippingly too rapidly; wish they would let the YL who
speaks English best do them all; including: Poland and Baltic states
will be next unless Russia stopped by Ukraine (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, August 2 at 0630, this RHC English is loud & clear for
a change, S9+20/30 with VG modulation, so it can be done! Talking
about COVID; better than // 6100, only S9+10/20 with sufficient
modulation. Something`s not wrong at RHC, unless it be absence of 6165

** ITALY [non]. ROBERTO SCAGLIONE: very sad news from Andrea Lawendel
that Roberto died suddenly of a heart attack on August 1. Proprietor
of the BCLNEWS.IT group and website, and a cooperator with WOR:

``According to messages circulating this morning on SWL related
Italian social networks feeds and confirmed by an obituary just
published by Palermo online news site
https://palermolive.it/morto-roberto-scaglione-teleone/
Roberto Scaglione has passed away yesterday in his hometown, due to a
sudden heart event. Originally from the Southern Sicilian port of
Sciacca, close to Agrigento, for many years Roberto has been founder
and editor of the Italian DX news organisation "Bclnews" and host to
the Italian DX programme "Obiettivo DX", on Sunday from AWR Europe's
SW frequencies. 73 Andy Lawendel Radiopassioni.it``

No further info at the Palermo site but it does have a portrait.
Roberto also produced a `Studio DX` program in Italian on WRMI:

``Studio DX è l'unica trasmissione in lingua italiana dedicata al
mondo dei BCL, SWL, radioamatori e mondo delle comunicazioni in genere
diffusa in onde corte, onde medie, satellite, internet e attraverso
una rete di emittenti in modulazione di frequenza. Ideata nel 1978 da
Stefano Mannelli IZ3ENH, è realizzata e condotta in studio da Roberto
Scaglione di bclnews.it. Studio DX potrà essere ritrasmesso dalle

** TURKEY. 9830.007, August 2 at 2212, VOT English is on today,
S9+5/20 into Maryland, S9+55 into UTwente: they agree on the unusual
+7 Hz offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, UR1 via WRMI, 0501-0507 UT August 2, VG into
Maryland SDR, `Ukraine: Security Issue`` for August 1 = day 159 of
Putin`s war. Including: Russian invaders stick to scorched-earth
tactix since beginning, shelled residential and civilian areas 60x
more than military targets leaving more than 3.5 million people
homeless (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2149 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday August 2 at 0048 the 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9/+10 undermodulated

Also confirmed Tuesday August 2 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 into

2232 stops; 2235 now conventional Cuban pulse jamming audible starting
to build up; after 2229 ID when BBB thinx this be ``9395``.

** ALBANIA [non]. 7730, August 1 at 0627, R. Tirana via WRMI, opening
German service! as if on ``3985``; with strange accent, I guess
Albanian. 0629 cut to Everglades ID, and 0630 to Brother Scare.
Richard Langley has also been noting this on UT Mondays: the timing of
automated recording of RT`s previous English broadcast is misaligned,
and after a bit of BS will be turned off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA [non]. Jen`s UT Sunday shows in the 18-22 UT slot are
inconveniently timed for me when I have other favorite listening; but
on July 31 I had the Shoutcast stream running,
http://uk4-vn.mixstream.net:8104/
and found it can be paused, so from 2007 it accumulated 2+ hours which
I then played back later in segments her World Beat Special. She
announces as on Unique Radio 5035, 3210 USB, but current sked and Tim
Gaynor confirm she`s on webcast only. Just in from Jen:

``Next Sunday a Real Deal of a Special, anyone for a Rebellion (Fest)
of Real Deal R & R music? More to follow towards the end of the week.
On the live digital stream, UT Sunday August 7th, 1800-2200.

** EGYPT. 9440, August 1 at 2205, no signal from R. Cairo direct, so I
cannot comment on how horrible the modulation would be. Something`s
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. IRRS/NEXUS/IBA/IPAR on 7125?? As announced: see USA
[and non] WORLD OF RADIO monitoring. No, August 1 at 1801 still on
7290 with gospel huxtress and USB warble via UTwente, not on 7125
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, August 1 at 2200, REE another Monday, another week,
another month, still no token English as allegedly scheduled on REE;
rather another episode of `Canciones Ténebres` about Cuba. Rechecking
the English podcast page, still nothing new since 16 July. Ironically,
just before the 2200 timesignal was a song about summer in English on
the program outroed in Spanish as `Canciones de Verano`. Something`s
messed up in Madrid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, August 1 at 2205, no signal direct from VOT English;
and still no signal into UTwente at 2253 just before it would have
closed. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, August 1 circa 0500, missed checking for UR1
via WRMI with `Ukraine: Security Issue`; so heard later via:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_31_07_22.mp3
You could reach further editions by changing the date on that. This
one for Day 158 includes: 41K Russian soldiers KIA since beginning of
war; missile strike on Mykolaiv killed noted businessman and his wife
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2149 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 31 from 2000.8, on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, not 918
or 207; S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR. Preceded by new canned ID by
YL claiming frequencies used by NEXUS/IBA are *7125*, 9510 and 1323!
Vaguely recall IRRS may have been on 7125 in the distant past, but
always has been hamband in Europe! Imaginary now instead of 7290
Bulgaria? see Italy [non]. Still shows 7290 here:
https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/a22-schedule/
The announcement must be recently recorded, since 1323 was not
activated until this year.

WOR 2149 also confirmed Sunday July 31 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S9+20
into Athens, Georgia SDR; Knoxville is running but blank waterfall.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 1 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+10 into
Georgia; but it`s not L&C, a shame this one can no longer be aimed
WNW, but SW from FL.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 1 from 0259 on Area 51 webcast -- BUT
WBCQ 6160- is OFF the air! As checked on remotes and direct - and so
is R. Angela 5130-; but 7490- & 9330+ are still on and strong, and
there are no storms near Monticello now. What`s the problem? 3265+ is
not on either. I should have kept monitoring, but not rechecked until
0355 when both are back on, into Maryland SDR: 5129.973 toward the end
of `Concert Hall` on R. Angela; 6159.937 with repetitive looping?
music, presumably HRI on Area 51. So I don`t know whether back on with
part of WOR before 0328. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
1100 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB
