** CUBA. 15230, Sept 17 at 0338, S8/9+10 of dead air in Spanish from
RHC where something`s always wrong. The Other Side:
``Agriculture -- the first law of Castroism: even when something goes
very wrong, it can always get even worse. If the Ministry of
Agriculture granted 100 pesos of credit for each fruitless plan,
measure, resolution, order, strategy, law, and agreement it has
issued, Cuba's fields would not be overrun with marabou. Rafaela Cruz
La Habana 17 Sep 2024 - 16:26 CEST...``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 17 at 0335, anti-Christ pirate Station
YHWH, S9/+10 undermodulated vs storm noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 17 at 0340, JBA S6/S7, finally some
modulation audible direct, music, 0342 announcement seems English but
too weak to copy, 0343 back to music, choral? I emailed to the Hikari
FM address, but no reply yet. EiBi shows location as Choya Bay,
Sonora, which is what the pirate op once said. Or Cholla, that`s just
west beyond Puerto Peñasco on a little peninsula into the Sea of
Cortez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 17 at 0635 UT, usual dominant signal
from KQCV OKC has some very distorted QRM on this frequency only. Not
sure yet whether local, need to check on other radios. No sign of the
noise in daytime at 1710. NRC AM Log shows *all* other conterminous US
800s have less than KQCV`s 1000-watt night power. XEROK is kaput, not
mentioned at all in 2024 IRCA Mexican Log. There are a few more XEs
still on 800; higher-powered Canadians; and PJB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Sept 17 at 2158, no token English on Tuesday but
checking SNR Ladino reception anyway. VP direct S5/S8 with pulsing on
the plus side. This NAm frequency at S6/S8 is *weaker* than 17715 to
SAm, S9/+10 with flutter, so something`s notright at Noblejas in
addition to prop disturbance. 15520 also on and 15390 also still off.
Estimated frequency at 2200 of the pulsing, never noticed before:
17855.7. Is it REE transmitter itself? Into Maryland SDR at 2220,
17855 S3/S5 with flutter and 17715 S5/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sept 17 at 2157, TRT VOT IS & ID direct at
S9+10, but really unusable by English program start 2200 due to
extreme propagation disturbance. By 2217 when measured into UTwente
synching onto weak S7 signal, but no sound. Later in hour, no signal
at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395 MCW kHz, Sept 17 at 0650 UT, ND beacon CA is JBA, 25
watts from Newton `Harvs`, Kansas. Had been seeking this for longtime
and suspected off. RNA list shows it last logged on 2024-02-17. Always
weaker than another KS, HRU on 407, 25 watts from Herington; but now
HRU is inaudible. RNA says last logged 2024-09-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday September 17 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+30/40 direct after
`Everglades` ID.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 17 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S9 direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 17 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia
1322.995+, S9 but noisy into UTwente across Europe. Next:

necessarily to woradio at yahoo.com, ``Pleased to once again express
my appreciation and admiration. 73, peace, and good health de Jim
Gershman, K1JJJ in Rhode Island!``

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank in US funds to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Sept 17 at 0500+, WRMI still on the air with R. Prague
in English, which is what`s on WRN at this time. On WRMI webcast and
9955 into Pardinho, Brasil SDR but way out of synch (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 7490-, Sept 17 at 0337, WBCQ with TOMBS, S8/S9 but very
unusually with Doppler flutter, i.e. frequency wobbling due to geomag
storm. Aurora not quite reaching Maine nor here nor directly in
between (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. IN THE AMERICAS with DAVID YETMAN is an excellent
27-minute TV series I always try to watch at the single time it airs
on OETA Create channel from PBS, UT Tuesdays at 0300 - it appears that
all 10 seasons of episodes may be viewed via
https://intheamericas.org/episodes/
Look thru the topix which may interest you especially (Glenn Hauser,

** CANADA. 28174 CW, Sept 16 at 2203, VVV DE VE1VDM/B and 8 dits/E`s.
Beacon already logged Sept 7: see that for details (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 16 at 0423, S9/+10 of suptorted music, audible at
peaks, presumably RHC Spanish as not // 6000 RHC English. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15445, Sept 16 at 0425, Chinese-sounding songs,
S9+20 with heavy trans-polar flutter, 0430 ID in Russian as P. Китая =
R. Kitaya. Aoki shows 0400-0600 via Kashi-Saiba, E.T., land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. One of
best signals on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ISRAEL [non]. 9955, Sept 16 at 0412, WRMI not off the air after
0400 as usually happens UT Mondays, rather English with news about
Israel, Hamas. Must be the WRN relay whose North American service does
contain Israel Radio at 0400-0500 daily. Does I.R. know or even care
that is back on SW? WRMI System B program grid claims internet-only
during that hour. Also Sept 16 at 0647 check, Spanish no doubt RFI
relay hour, which WRMI grid still claims is an hour earlier at 05-06,
internet only except weekends. Need to check what really air at 05-06:
from WRN it would be Prague & Slovakia; and at 06-07 not RFI from WRN
but DW and NHK. 5010 was off this UT Monday as usual instead of TOMBS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Sept 16 at 0416 music and talk, probably
Dengê Gel and/or Erdowan jammer. No other signals in the 11.5s. EiBi
shows site ARMENIA for D.G.; Aoki only on 11535 as Uzbekistan. While
not always on 11540, Gianni Serra also reported this the night
before:

``11540-CLANDESTINE Radyoya Dengê Gel (People's Voice Radio), in
listed Kurdish 09.15.2024 0558-0615 (11539.996-.995 kHz per UTwente,
very good), playing two local chants, at 0600 brief tune, woman very
long speech (ment Îraqê, Iran, rejîma Îranê); good in SSB sync with
nonstop rapid QSB and lite QRN rustle/almost good in AM; in //
<denge-gel.org> in streaming with some seconds of delay (Serra, Roma,
Italy)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13810, Sept 16 at 0420, M&W in unID lang, S9+20/30, the
SSOB by far and almost the OSOB, i.e. BBC Somali until 0430* as sked
M-F only from 0400 per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 28276 CW, Sept 16 at 2204, dash and XE1JAL/B, previously
logged last September and October. WGB list: ``28276 XE1JAL/B - Xalapa
Veracruz MEX EK19mm - #0 (10 Sept 2024) Note: ID + grid + 3" carrier``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 16 at 0414, open carrier, should be
enough direct to detect modulation if any, from pirate Hikari FM or
whatever (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 98.5, Sept 16 at 0559 UT, Enid translator is // 99.9
KVBN-LP. This is a change for the 98.5 source, no idea when it
happened as I seldom listen to either but 99.9 had a joint ``KVBN`` ID
for both frequencies. This would be news to FCC and WTFDA. FCC FM
Query still claims 98.5 K253BC, licensed to Paul Regier, relays KGVV
which is 90.5 in Goltry, 14 kW, ``The House of Praise / The Love
Station``. Goltry is not far away and hardly needs a translator in
Enid. But KVBN gets a stronger 250 watt signal on 98.5 than 78 watts
on 99.9. Both WTFDA and FCC show 98.5 & 99.9 at considerably different
coordinates.

But the WTFDA FMDB shows 98.5 K253BC relays KLVV 88.7! Hardly: that`s
in Ponca City, once a semi-local signal in Enid but now blocked by
another translator here. Are translator licensees free to change their
inputs without notice? I searched the WTFDA FMDB only by city: Enid,
so I see some other wrong info:

93.1 K226BR of KIMY 93.9 Watonga has been OFF THE AIR for many years.
So what if it may officially still be licensed?
96.9 KQOB quit relaying KZLS 1640 a few years ago; Freedom 96.9 is not
also on MW, as 1640 became // 1390 KCRC with sportstalk. 96.9 tho
licensed to Enid is in effect a full-power OKC station, site closer to
there than here. Several other local signals are missing since they
are licensed to outlying towns: besides gospel huxters, 95.7, 97.7,
106.3, same group as 107.1, 96.9, 1640, 1390 (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, 17715, 15520 but still not 15390, Monday September 16
at 2159, token English from SNR after 2200 timesignal accurate to WWV,
S9+20/30 on 17855. Preview interview to be about tourism in Spain this
summer, problems in Balearix and Barcelona, with director of World
Tourism Organization. News leads with two Spaniards detained in
Venezuela, wrongfully accused of spying and planning assassinations. I
think they said some Americans were also involved (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.001-, Sept 15 at 2200, no signal from VOT English
into UTwente: BUT cuts on carrier at *2201, no modulation and off at
2202*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. They tried to start
and failed again. Signal was only S9+15, weaker than usual, but would
have been sufficient. Nor did it resume later in the hour. So we miss
this week`s `Letterbox`, if there were a new one, and I also missed
checking for the possible final repeat after 0300 on 7275 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sept 16 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS and
English IDs, S9+10/20 direct. 2223 into UTwente when measured, S9+45
during `The Energy Agenda`. 2224 music. 2227 more music. 2232 `That`s
Why`, about the Hittites who flourished in Anatolia, 1600-1200 BCE,
and after a few mins, more & more music. 2252 headlines: Gaza death
toll 41,226, and *rump not assassinated. 2253 s/off as if the 1230 on
17620 and IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs, until 2258.3* chop.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
September 15 at 2158 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003 at
S9+5 and much stronger than // 6160.001+, JBA S7 with disturbed
conditions.

Also confirmed Sunday September 15 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+15/25 into
Georgia SDR but with lite RTTY warble underneath. Immediately followed
`cello music with no ID break.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 16 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10
into Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 16 from 0300.7 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929, S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, following Johnny
Lightning who gotta go and an insert about contacting Scott Becker.

Also confirmed Monday September 16 at 1935 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.001 at S8/S9 and 3975.003- at S9/+5 into UTwente. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];
2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy;

** U S A. 15150, Sept 16 at 0422, S8/S9 of dead air except for some
hum, instead of dead EJOM, i.e. WMLK. Something`s botched at Bethel
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** URUGUAY [and non]. 28350 USB, Sept 16 at 2210, CX5TMJ switches from
English to Spanish for contact with YN9H, Henry in NICARAGUA, also
audible but weaker. QRZ.com: ``CX5TMJ Uruguay flag Uruguay, Dino
