** CUBA. 5025, Aug 20 at 0656, S9+35/45 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde, yet again; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Aug 20 at 2214, really nice ME/Arabic song at
S9+20/30, seems secular, as a WCB tactic like on KNLS to lull victims
into a false sense of rationalism, but then R. Feda ID in Arabic, and
presumably Christian evangelism. VG signal as usual from one of
furthest SW sites on Earth, closest to antipodal from here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY 11785.009+, Aug 20 at 2157, VOT not off the air, IS & ID,
S9+10/20 direct and fairly sufficient for direct listening, noise
level a little lowered; 2200 timesig and s/on pretending it`s 1230 on
17620; preview of topix: Review of Turkish Press, That`s Why, Weekly
Commentary, Turkey`s Geomarked Products. They are not always so
specific at s/on. 2201 news begins with another Israeli raid on Gaza.
At 2228 into UTwente when measured, S9+50, multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2230 `Weekly Commentary` read by Efsun the accentuated. I simply
cannot understand the name of the writer nor his background apparently
in some detail, nor am I going to strain to comprehend the content but
seems to be about -- guess what? Israel & Gaza. 2242 music. 2247
`Turkey`s Geomarket Products` about Hanak? string cheese - could not
catch the animilk source. 2250 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music.

** U S A. Just heard from George McClintock, 1720 UT Tuesday August
20: one of the WTWW transmitters failed, and awaiting part to be
shipped in from Germany. In the meantime, only on the air is 9930 with
Brother Stair. But not yet on air today. Evidently all 9475/5085
programming is suspended including World of Radio until it`s fixed.
Indeed at 2211 check, 9930 is on with TOMBS // 9980 WWCR but not

late with no modulation, only S9+5/15 into UTwente, gives up by 2202*,
not heard further. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. So a
`Letterbox` is missed, and did not hear the final repeat 0300 if it

UNIDENTIFIED. 1100 kHz, Aug 19 at 0639, Meximx. No WTAM. No US

https://www.ircaonline.org/editor_upload/File/2023-24_IRCA_Mexican_Log.pdf

TVR Staying on AM per IFT. AM was off the air 8/21 per IFT audit, but
active again in 2023. SDR monitoring 7/23 confirmed the AM was still
on``. Somehow copying info from that, accentuated letters get garbled
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1141 kHz, Aug 19 at 0640, JBA 1 kHz het to 1140
stations. Probably one of the numerous Rebelde pileups to block WQBA
Miami, which it seems due to format changes is really unnecessary.
Terry Krueger in the FL Panhandle reported: ``1141 UNIDENTIFIED 0716
5/16/24 Fairly strong and solid with no audio, as reported by others.
Points roughly 330/150-ish degrees, which should eliminate Cuba if
accurate enough. Anyone in Mexico able to check?`` But seems to me
that would include western Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. RF 13, Aug 19 circa 15 UT, STB displays 13-5 with a
broken-up freeze-frame, ultimately looks like OETA OKC, which is
always marginal or absent via my rooftop antenna aimed at OKC. But
there is large tropo enhancement into Kansas per APRS map. The thing
is, OETA does not go above 13-4. I bet it was trying to decode KUPK
Garden City, which Rabbitears.info shows does contain a Display 13-5
of Scripps News, or Physical channel 13.5 of Bounce (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 890, UT Sun Aug 18 at 0147, show of Venezuelan music, but
it`s only ``La Onda de la Alegría``. So I seek the spurs on 889 & 891,
and do detect them but still JBA like when I am only hearing WLS on
890 itself, none of it now. WRTH and mwlist show only 2 Cubans on 890,
the 200 kW R. Progreso in Chambas, Ciego de Ávila; and unknown power
R. Revolución in Stgo., so is the latter the spursource?

I thought Ciego meant blind man, and so does Google translate, but:
``People also ask, ¿Por qué se llama Ciego de Ávila? La más aceptada
hoy explica que es fruto de la combinación de dos términos: uno
geográfico: ciego, nombre que recibe el claro dentro de un área
boscosa, y el otro el apellido del primer conquistador español que
recibió la merced del hato en 1538, nombrado este Jácome de Ávila.``

UNIDENTIFIED. 15743-15749 approx., Aug 18 at 1429, DRMish noise, but
not 10-kHz bandwidth nor centred on a multiple of 5. Not found in DRM
skeds, nor EiBi nor Aoki which have nothing at all on 15745 - anyway a
good spot to insert something. Would you believe Aoki still shows WINB

that`s close (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

from RHC. At least the transmitter is on, that`s half the battle,
auguring well for English at 1900? No, at 1932 into Missouri SDR,
still dead air at S9/+10 - or maybe a trace of talk with all volumes
at max! But could be crossmod from elsewhere. Something`s always wrong

Watch Net; good of them to keep far enough away from 7260 R Vanuatu.
It seems the NCS has several specific texts with exactly same wording,
calling for check-ins with callsigns from affected areas. Or calling
for low power or portable stations. Even mentions SW listeners!
Welcomes both measured observations and not. 0618 mentions Hurricane
Ernesto. Day channel 14325 [USB] will activate at 7:30 am EDT = 1130
UT. This NCS has been N8NIF. More info at HWN.org Then around 0630 two
others discuss who will take over: W1ABW, WF4H. Very few of the
checkins audible here, just the NCSes. Was hoping to hear Bermuda.

14325 USB not checked until 1813, 1833, nothing heard, and website
shows not active at that time. Uplooking calls at QRZ.com, the last

K-Love, 88.9 OKC. All are S9, first two undermodulated, third JB

wonder if K288FX really pick up KYLV direct as it`s flanked by two
other Enid translators on 88.7 and 89.1 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi in Kazakh, from East Turkistan, std denunciation.
Canary SDR antenna must be disconnected. No signals to Bermuda either.
I had no better luck Aug 15 during same hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUADELOUPE. 21223 USB, Aug 16 at 2208, FG5GP with pileup, quick
contacts including an EI+ from Ireland; power 200 watts. QRZ.com:
``FG5GP Guadeloupe flag Guadeloupe, ALAIN ROBERT, 14 LOT LES COLIBRIS
CONVENANCE, 97122 BAIE MAHAULT, Guadeloupe`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6938 USB, Aug 17 at 0039, JBA talk, 0040 song, S7 =
HSNL. These say it`s Goat Herder Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Aug 17 at 0038, yelling rock music, S8/S9
vs high storm noise level. Many logs here as Thunder Chicken Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PANAMA [and non]. 28282 CW, Aug 16 at 2202, JBA beacon starts with
HP-, all I can copy, but no doubt HP1DCP/B, as logged Aug 6 at 2205.
The OBOB as our F2 Panamá pipeline resumes. Also one phone on 28430
USB with extremely colloquial Brasuguese, CQ 10, could not copy his
PY- call, about double the distance of Panamá (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 16 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9+20/30 direct and the other three audible, preview interview with an
American expatriate who is also a local official in Madrid, where he
has stayed because of girlfriend. 2201.5 news starts with M-pox
spreading to Sweden, Pakistan, from DR Congo. 2225 he muses on good
and bad aspects of living in Spain - watch out for false-friends, like
``constipado`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 16 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS & ID in
English, S9+20/10 direct would be sufficient if one upput with local
noise level. After olds, 2212 `Review of the Turkish Press`; Much
better into UTwente, at 2221 in `Folk Tales`. 2227 music, 2228
``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2229 `That`s Why`,   with Efsun the
accentuated; can`t really follow it, but something about the Lira as a
unit of weight, currency, but also mentions the constellation Libra -
? 2236 music. 2249 ``always-by-your-side`` again. 2253 s/off ignoring
SW, IS once and chop at 2254* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 7495, Aug 17 at 0041 YL in S Asian? language S9/+10
direct about same level as neighbor 7490- WBCQ. EiBi & Aoki show it`s
VOA R Ashna in Pashto to Iran via Lampertheim, GERMANY, this semihour
only.

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2256 monitoring: confirmed Friday
August 16 at 2030 on IRRS ``Shortwave`` via AM Italia, 1322.994+ kHz,
S8.5/9.5 into UTwente, following Wavescan and music buffer.

Also confirmed Friday August 16 at 2222 on WRMI 9955, S5/S8, no
jamming audible, off the back into Maryland SDR, as TWR Bonaire SDR is
often tied up.

Also confirmed Friday August 16 at 2244 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.001-, S9+10/15 into UTwente.

** U S A. 9930, Aug 16 at 1523, no signal from WTWW, which was
supposedly active from 1500 with TOMBS and heard later yesterday;
still not on by 1900. I did hear 5920 come up about 0101 or 0102, tho
George was allowing 3 minutes to make the change. Finally at 2015 I
notice 9930 is on the air, but VP signal into the ATS-909 vs noise
level. Comes up stronger by 2017: maybe power is being turned up, or
prop vagaries. 9475 is even poorer. At 2025 into PEI SDR, 9930 is S6,
9475 is JBA S5. How do their azimuths and lobes compare?? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Aug 16 from 2350, into NH SDR:
no signal on 3265, but waterfall shows some kind of noise blob
3239-3269, at 2354 jumping down to 3217-3242. 5130 no signal, so we
expect a rerun. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 music presumably TOMBS. 7490
-72 Hz = 7489.928, S9+10 with FKB. I keep listening to 7490-, 2359
1-minute-tone-warning and he wraps up quickly, then some `Chariots of
Fire` music and WBCQ ID.

Aug 17 from 0000, WTO theme and AW talks about ``messing up the
airwaves``, which is how he opened last week, see that report and
never mind now. 3265 & 5130 still off. Sometimes reruns are disclaimed
as such before playback but can`t depend on that, nonesuch this time.
I let it run in background and at 0024 notice that there is again OTH
radar clickery QRM unavoidably audible, and visible on waterfall
covering 7472-7494; one might suspect ``jamming`` or at least some op
with no respect for WBCQ. Continues rest of hour, into Hal Turner
after 0100. But no OTHR audible direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 889 & 891 kHz, Aug 16 at 0642, JBA carriers flanking
WLS. Requires very careful tuning up & down in USB & LSB, no visual
display. Therefore presumably the Cuban with spurs, not Algeria on 891
only. However, unheard at 0652. But at 0821 wakeup, 891 audible, a
further clue to Cuba, surely too late for Algeria. However, earlier,
891 could still be Algeria and/or Cuba. Also still carriers on 631 and
1141, IDed previously as off-frequency Cubans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
