** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 23 at 2232, RNA/RNB again not off the air, jazz,
S9+20/30 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, AUg 24 at 0703, S9+30 of open carrier/dead air. Bigsig
has got to be transmitter relaying CRI scheduled 0300-0500 only in
English, Cantonese, but missing a lot lately. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Aug 23 at 2233, RHC #1 legacy frequency finally back
on air after long absence -- but with JBM Chinese music! Instrumental
only but not Firedrake. RadioCuba didn`t used to relay CRI at this
hour. This is so strong, S9+20/30, that it`s got to be Cuba rather
than China itself, also scheduled on 11760 this hour in ``Portuguese``
to Europe via Xi`an. At 2257, 11760 goes to dead air but still on air
past 2301; while:

13650, Aug 23 at 2259, RadioCuba on with open carrier, 2300 CRI theme,
Chinese & Portuguese IDs, for the traditional hour of fill music. 

13780, Aug 23 at 2233, RHC in Spanish, S9+20 with good modulation,
running about 2 seconds behind // 15230 which is S9+10/20 and
suptorted. 15230 is off by 2259: maybe moved to 13650 but not with
same defect. Anyhow it appears RHC is now capable of running 3
transmitters at once!

All those as monitored direct; into Georgia SDR at 2313, 11760
deadair, 13650 CC music, 13780 SS & music, 15230 off (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Aug 24 at 0312, KCRC Enid dead air pinning the
needle S9+70? still dead past 0455+. I`ve left a radio on with volume
up to hear if and when it resume. Which it does, finally, blasting on
at 0500 sharp. Substation 1640 KZLS was also DA only S9+45 atop CCI.
But by 0639 next check, 1390 & 1640 are deadair again, and *0700 they
blast back on with baseball info; 1640 as usual is about 2 seconds
behind 1390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, Sat Aug 23 at 2248, REE to NAm is still OFF, but the
other three are on in Spanish about Panamá: 17715 S9+20/30 > 15520 >
15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785+, Aug 23 at 2232, VOT not off the air and furthermore
in correct language, English, S9+20/30, best signal direct in a while.
At 2250 music has increased to S9+30/40. 2252 s/off as if it`s 17620
at 1230, awry at Ankara, and IS to 2253.7* chop (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9750.008-, Sun Aug 24 at 1900, S9+40/50 into UTwente, VOT
English with `Letterbox`. It`s almost 20 minutes long, 7 people called
but lengthy quotations from reports, and lengthy effusively friendly
replies; now with a bell-melody between them. 1) Christer Brunström,
Sweden, hard to understand names, passed on his comments on Turkish
politix. 2) Lela? Bell, Mr or Ms?, Netherlands, via UTwente, longtime
listener, firsttime writer. 3) Andrey Martinyuk?, Moscow, Russia. 4)
Mr Mohammed Breyel?, Malaysia. 5) Harald Suess, Austria, who heard
Istanbul 99.6 FM in car. 6) Michael Linder?, Germany, heard Persian.
Cemre wraps up at 1919, theme to 1920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Aug 23 at 2245, WRNO is on *much* earlier than usual,
gospel huxter in English, S9/+10. As in previous report it was also on
overnight. Registered with FCC as available: 2200-1600 on 7505,

** CANADA. 990, Aug 23 at 0602 UT, Canadian news items, must be CBW
coming in better than usual. I can`t imagine any UStation emphasizing
such news (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FINLAND [non]. 9500, Aug 23 at 1900, Radio Love Warbler supposed to
play again after two-week break, via Woofferton, but NO SHOW, tsk2. By
2000, 9500 is infested by OTH radar. 
Another try in 2 weeks? See Full details:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 6160 & 3975, Aug 23 at 1800, R. Titanic International, via
SW Gold Radio, Germany, former pirate returns to celebrate its 50th
anniversary. Good S9+10/20 reception of both into DL7APJ remote. I
listen to the first 15 minutes, starting mostly English, after 1808
mostly German. 1814 mentions Pink Floyd. Continuous music, but also
almost continuous chatter as the ex-DJs are enjoying being on the air
again; rather breakneck pace, tiring for the listener, and one cannot
really appreciate the music. 1839 mentions Mark Brown/Braun?, station
founder. 1856 wrapping up first hour saying some different languages
are coming up; it`s to last 6 hours total. More info here:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2309 monitoring: as expected, no signal from
WTWW 5085, UT Sat Aug 23 at 0300. We can only hope it will be back up

Confirmed Saturday August 23 at 1449 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio,

** U S A. 7570 & 7730, Aug 23 at 0633, these WRMIs are OFF, while 7780
remains, along with the usual 5 & 9 MHz channels (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Aug 23 at 0632, hymn at S9+30, so WRNO is again
inexplicably expanding into the night past usual closing circa 0400?
Even later, this report: ``7505 WRNO New Orleans LA (p); 1151-1200+,
8/23; EE Caribe-accented religihuxter abruptly cutoff @1157+ into
Billy Graham's Hour of Decision. No ToH ID or break. SINPO=4+3+344
(Harold Frodge, Alachua FL)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 23 at 0605 UT, stupid sports talk in the
clear, must be KWKH Shreveport LA unimpeded by perpetual cheater with
music, KLEY Wellington KS. Have they suddenly gone straight with ONE
WATT at night? Chat fance. In daytime at 1514 is on air with promotion
about carrying local Wellington HSFB starting in September on
``Thunder Country 104.1 and 1130``. I don`t recall hearing that slogan
before, but I don`t listen to it deliberately; I see it is already as
such in new NRC AM Log. One watt: why in the world would FCC mandate
such a useless power to anystation, especially on an AM `clear`
channel? You can hardly expect them not to cheat with day power of a
hefty 250 watts available (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1180 kHz, Aug 23 at 0607 UT stupid sports talk again where
there is normally no such signal; // 1390 KCRC, not checked whether
exactly synchronized, so must be the only Fox Sports Radio on 1180 in
new NRC AM Log: KZOT Bellevue NE [Omaha] U4 25000/1000, so I daresay
this bigsig must be day power. Radio-locator shows day pattern is
roughly circular as almost ND; night pattern bulges toward the SW,
both from site across the narrow Missouri in IOWA. U4 classification,
an ``NRC invention``, means direxional day and night with different
patterns. See previous log, Aug 18 at 0637 when they were on Infinity
Sports Network; that was UT Monday, this is UT Saturday. Goodbye, R.
Martí, hi, and WHAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

few days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28153 CW, Aug 22 at 2203, VE3IDS/B EN94, complete beacon

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [non]. `Table for All with Buki Elegbede` is a show
on createtv.com via OETA-3 that I don`t make a point of watching as
there are far too many ethnic food shows I am never going to have a
chance to taste, but happened to notice about 2245 UT August 22, it`s
all about UIGHUR GENOCIDE! Apparently the first half was about
Ukraine. I find it:
https://www.tpt.org/table-for-all-with-buki-elegbede/video/conflicts-community-4yWj2k/
The host pronounces it ``Oi-ghur`` as if were German rather than
``Wee-ghur`` - which is correct? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. Re my 10126 log last time, ZL3XDJ: ``Hi Glenn, Brian
Fields, Waikouaiti Beach (just north of Dunedin) I think, based on the

itself in Spanish at the very same time via 15770 WRMI (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009+, Aug 22 at 2157, no signal from VOT, so I check
SPAIN et al., but at 2213 recheck I discover it`s on, S9+20/30 direct
with jazz, and this time in English with `Travelogue`, M announcer
first-person account of visiting some other places starting from
Gaziantep. At 2222 into UTwente when measured, S9+55! YL about the
Qashqai minority in Iran being discriminated against because they are
Turkic, 2229 outro as `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`. Look them
up at Wikipedia. 2230 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo followed
immediately by ``always by-your-side``. 2231 `Did You Know That?`
voiced by Efsun, something about chickpeas in Anatolia. 2235
``with-you-every-hour`` again, music. 2236 ``WYEH`` AGAIN already,
music. 2252 ``ABYS`` again, what crutches! 2253 s/off as if 1230 on
17620; something`s always awry in Ankara, IS to 2255* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2309 monitoring: confirmed Friday
August 22 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.994+, S7/S8 into
UTwente across Europe. Also on WRMI webcast only, while 9955 is off
the air, unlike yesterday when it was on at 1908, 1933 and 1939 chex
but with CRR.

Also confirmed Friday August 22 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 direct
but noisy and seems undermodulated.

Also confirmed Friday August 22 at 2239 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.001-, S9+5/15 into UTwente. Next:

{UT Sat Aug 23 at 0128 I find that 5085 WTWW is OFF, and so is 5920.
By 0155, 5920 is back on but not 5085 - who knows what will happen at
0300? George does, tells me at 0215 that the 5085 transmitter is down
again awaiting someone from Continental; and last week WOR was cut
short because the operator forgot to leave the transmitter on another
half-hour}

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex pf WBCQs, Aug 22 at 2355: 3265 & 5130 OFF;
6160 IS & ID loop JBA S5/S6 into Maryland SDR. 7490 S9+10/15 with FKB.
9330 off, for rotation. 2359, tone on 7490, one-minute warning to FKB
to wrap up his live show. 

UT Sat Aug 23 at 0000, 7490 advisory that following originally aired
Feb 21, 2025 - as I already reported then, q.v., and never mind now.
Also on resumed 9330. Except checking exact frequencies, NA5B remote
is out of calibration showing 10000.000 WWV as -45 Hz! So with that
correxion it puts WBCQ on 6159.944, and 7489.940 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)  

** U S A. Sporadic E has been around most of the day with MUF spikes
above 100 MHz, but as usual we are mostly either too far or too close
to the nexuses = nexi? I`m bandscaning on the caradio UT Saturday
August 23 at 0013-0113 and have a little to show for it:

92.9 at 0053, ad for Wesley Financial Group, Menard`s; and ``92-9 Jack
FM, - pronounced `yeck```, haha, and soon f/out. WFG is in Franklin
TN, specializing in getting out of those dratted timeshares. But WTFDA
FMDB shows only two Jacks FMs: preferably CFLT-FM, 100/43 kW in
Dartmouth NS, which would have to be double-hop, but settling for:
WGTZ 92.9 EATON OH 40.0 kW 168.0 m 39-50-10 84-24-16 6687 Artist/Title
JACK FM Top 40ADULT HITS 92.9 JACK-FM 25043 1216 km/756 stmi

93.7 at 0054, ``Super Q 93.7, WQIO``, overcoming KSPI OK: here it is,
another Ohioan:
WQIO 93.7 MOUNT VERNON OH 37.0 kW 172.0 m 40-24-18 82-26-20 7FC6
SUPERQ! CURTIS AND THE MORNING CREW ON SUPER Q! Adult Hits ADULT
CONTEMPORARY SUPER Q 93.7 74475 1411 km/877 stmi

Meanwhile at 0100 there is also a ``Hot 93.7``, which I would prefer
to be WZMX Hartford CT, but surely KSPI-FM Stillwater, ``the Okie
standard`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
