quickworking USAs. QRZ.com: ``LU4DJB Argentina flag Argentina, Natalia
Edith PEREGRIN, Nueve de Julio, BA B6500CIN, Argentina`` -- did not
sound like a YL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28197 CW, Oct 8 at 2202, 4 step-down-dashes, DE VE7MTY/B. A
major beacon signal but relogged for the record. WGB list: ``28197.0

At the end of the CW message, it steps through four, 1 second power
levels. 25 - 10 - 2 - 0.5 watts`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 11760, Oct 8 at 1433, RHC music S8/9+5 direct with
good modulation, unlike: 13780 S6 undermod music; 15140 S6/S7 UM mx
with usual squeal; 15230 S8/S9 of dead air. SAWA. Also at 1908 no
15140 or 11760, while JBA 13780 probably something else, Japan via
France at 19-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 13605, 11930, 11860, Oct 8 at 1456 no R. Martí/LV del
Trumpismo signals; by 1557 carriers are on, and 1600 ID and start
programming; 11860 is best into my ATS-909 with clipon. So is 1600 the
standard sign-on time now? Still at 1852 with 13605 leading as usual.
Next check at 2157 all off already, so when are they QRTing now? nor
any evenings like 9565, 7335 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** POLAND [non]. 17790, Oct 8 at 2200, S9+10/20, WRMI starts PRES
English via WRN but chops off the air after one sesquiminute: pretty
clear that if there be any more, it`s accidental (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715, Wed Oct 8 at 2158, REE JBA carrier direct, so we`re
out of luck for token weeklEnglish; even weaker JBACs on 15390, still
reactivated 15520 for ME but insuff backwards for us while `our`
frequency 15500 is still absent. At 2248 I try to confirm at least
that the English hour happened, but NO signals on any frequency into
NH, UTwente, nor Canarias SDR, but the latter is not getting much of
anything (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004, Oct 8 at 2157 no signal yet direct from VOT, but
on by 2159 with IS & English IDs, S9+10/20 yet insuff vs noise level.
At 2253 into UTwente when measured, S9+5/15 at s/off, 2254 IS sounding
louder than preceding voice, 2256 pause and restart IS with extraneous
German ID, to 2257* Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150 & 17525, Wed Oct 8 at 1856, WMLK off and off. SAWA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 780, Oct 8 at 0642 UT after conclusion of 2-minute StarDate
from 0640, WBBM Chicago announces time as ``1:45`` - don`t you believe
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1140, Oct 8 at 0633 UT ``1140 AM & 96.1 FM, NewsRadio WRVA``
from Richmond VA, atop anything else, unusually - and gives top
billing to original AM! Unlike so many - WBBM, WSB, etc., etc. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1520, Oct 8 at 0638 UT, C&W music at equal level QRMing
KOKC, conveniently IDing right away as ``Classic Country KRHW`` -
that`s Sikeston MO, U7 5000/1600, also 5000 for Critical Hours. U7
means three different direxional antenna patterns. Sikeston is south
of Cape Girardeau; radio-locator, not NRC AM Log, shows address in Mt
Vernon IL, not very close but connected via I-57. Night pattern is
very tight N/S, not including Mt Vernon: 
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KRHW&service=AM&h=N
Day pattern is much broader but supposedly with a notch toward OKC
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KRHW&service=AM&h=D
CH pattern is N/S but not so tight as at night:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KRHW&service=AM&h=C
None of these explain why it should be as strong as KOKC in OK.
Normally is unheard at night, but have heard it before, see Feb 20,
2025 at 0745 which reads almost the same as now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

Cairo sesquihour in English. How long has it been since anyone heard

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. Oct 7 at 2025 UT, several cable TV channels
freeze or go to black, via Optimum [sic] in Enid. No apologies or
stand-bys on screen, but probably solar transit outages affecting the
particular satellite they feed through: MSNBC, CNN, HLN, USA at least.

semihour be part of `Night Air`, but sked implies it`s a daily full

awry at Ankara: 2254 s/off still imagines it be the 1230 broadcast on
