** ALGERIA. 17600, Aug 12 at 2202 & 2207, Ifrikya FM still on the air
past nominal 2200* and JBA direct despite major geomag storm (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Aug 12 at 0423 RHC English still running later than
usual, S9+25/35 direct and VG modulation, show is `Sustainably
Speaking` about agriculture, M&W alternating, seems apolitical, soon
into next program, Economic Report. Meanwhile the nominal English
frequency 6000 is JBA carrier only, and 15230 is also on at S9+5/15
with dead air! Something`s always wrong at RHC. Same at 0437 recheck.
Hope 9700 be off before NZ come up! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 7340 // 13735, Aug 12 at 1513-1559.7*, Issoudun with French
and heavily accented English weather info for sailboat race. I`m
checking following this in BDXC-UK Communication, first report I`ve
seen this year about MiniTransat: ``13735 1505 MiniTransat Sailing,
France. Maritime wx, OM, FF, EE // 7340 333 24/07 GS = Gabby Simmonds
Worcester Sony ICF-2001D, MLA-30+``

13735, from 1458 past 1500, NO signal at all direct. Propagation very
degraded with little else on band outside USA. So by 1513 I`m tuned to
UTwente where 13735.001- is audible poorly at S7/S8, as to be expected
at short skip distance, much better on 7340.000- at S9+5/10, YL in
heavily accented English with weather info, foneticizing e.g. NNW as
November November Whisky. Mixed with French and hard to tell when
she`s switching languages. 1522 ``that`s all the weather today`` and
over to OM in French, seems like race standings. 1529 music bits. 1530
she`s back talking about Olympix, medal counts, etc. 1532 familiar
``Nuits de Paris`` song, not sure of proper title; and many other
songs filling out the hour. First several minutes would play a tune
for only a minute or so, fade it down, and start another; must be a
very impatient DJ. Chopoff at 1559.7*

But which race is this for? The big one with SWx broadcasts like this,
La Boulangère Mini Transat, does not appear to be in progress now nor
in July. In fact this website
https://minitransat.fr/
has nothing about this year, but lots about 2023, when arrival dates
ranged from November 8 to 18. That`s the one from France to Canarias
and then to Guadeloupe. This site shows many other races including
some starting 19 July, 18 and 24 August; I wonder which and how many
merit SW broadasts:
https://www.classemini.com/?mode=courses

These two entries in today`s HFCC update could be a clue, note
effective dates:

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Aug 12 at 0608, Britishish English, presumed RNZ
now, risking RHC collision if on later than last check in its English
at 0437 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Aug 12 at 0613 UT, instead of Olds from NewsOn6,
KOTV Tulsa with 10-second loops of 3 seconds of tone and ``This is the
TSN? Dallas Cowboy Channel``. Nobody paying attention at this sorry
excuse for a 50 kW clear channel station, demoted to TV audio when
they get around to it. Unclear how an unused offtopic satellite
channel could get plugged into on the air (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 12 at 2200, token English from SNR is a JBA
carrier direct to here! Extremely unusual due to major geomagnetic
storm. Slightly better on 15520 off the back at 2207 and the others
17715 & 15390 JBA carriers. By UTwente check at 2227, all are JBA.
Here`s why:

** TURKEY. 11785.010-, Sun Aug 11 at 2158, VOT not off the air,
S9+25/35 into UTwente, not checked direct, with IS, ID. 2200 s/on as
if the 1230 on 17620. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2201 olds by
Efsun the accentuated. 2217 ending sports, and multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2219 music. Slightly distorted due to overmodulation. 2224
`Weekly Analysis` about Israel genocide against Palestinians in Gaza,
by John Hunter?, foreign policy researcher, in Jeddah? Not sure of
those names. 2229 music. 2232 `Letterbox` finally starts with host
Halil, who is OK, but weather is hot and humid, 30-33 degrees, yet in
a couple [?] months it will be freezing cold in Ankara.

First, reception report from Siddartha --- in India, asking how many
tigers are there in Turkey? None, except in zoos. Pakistani wants QSL.
Another from Siddartha. Another Pak reports on Spanish broadcast, tnx
for QSL, Halil is glad to know since some don`t get theirs in the
mail. Terry Downson?, Australia, 9875 report, gets up early to hear
it. Jayanta Chakroborty, India. Someone from SE Poland. Rimantas --
from ``Letonia`` reception report: Rimantas is a Lithuanian, not
Latvian name, but Letonia means Latvia; confused them? Anatoly Klepov,
Moscow, wants QSL as usual. Does not know he`s the editor of RUS-DX?
Andrei -- in Tomsk. Another from ``Letonia``. Time`s up at 2245. 2246
``Dear listeners, bye-bye, I love all of you`` and fill music *before*
the `L`Box` outro plays at 2250.5. 2251 headlines, leading with Israel
massacres 100 Palestinians. 2254 s/off of 17620. 2254.7 IS once and
off*, finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 12 at 2159, VOT English a JBA carrier direct. By
2227 check into UTwente, only JBA, incredible. At least we can tell
they are not off the air, so not TRT`s fault, rather major geomag
storm: see WWV report under SPAIN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non?]. 7460, Aug 12 at 0427 African language at S9+25/30,
stronger than 7435 Martí via Grimesland, 0430 drop to dead air, no ID
and off at 0430.45*. HFCC Aug 12 still shows this as VOA BOTSWANA in
Kin, 100 kW at 350 degrees, not exactly favorable for us, as I suspect
a NC substitution. 7435 also has a `hollow` sound, perhpaps due to
prop disturbance, different beamangle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

IN AMERICA, `LIBERAL` IS THE NEW MAINSTREAM

https://open.substack.com/pub/michaelmoore/p/in-america-liberal-is-the-new-mainstream

This report dispatched at 0336 UT August 13

** AUSTRALIA. 10125 USB, Aug 11 at 0645, two Oz hams S4/S5 discussing
equipment. Mentioning Sydney, and Damian? name of one of them? This
time at 0652 IDs without fonetix sound like VK2XZL and VK2AKP.
QRZ.com:

``VK2XZL Australia flag Australia, GI SCLANDERS, 49 WARRAH RD, YOWIE
BAY, NSW 2228, Australia``; and:
``VK2AKP/SK2024 Australia flag Australia, SILENT KEY SILENT KEY,
Saviour "Sam" GALEA, 57 FAIRVIEW ROAD, CANLEY VALE, NS 2166,
Australia``

So one of them is deceased. Possibly miscopied one of the letters? Can
also search QRZ.com by names: there are 394 Damians, worldwide!
including 8 in Australia, but none with similar calls.

In late-night bandscanning I always check this frequency, but first
time any phone heard again in ages. Jan 16 at 0756 a QSO in
non-English, German? unID Ozzies last heard Aug 29, 2023 at 0647. I
never hear any other voices on this band.

This is of particular interest, to me, anyway, since the 29m ``30m``
hamband is supposedly for CW/digital modes only, not phone, but
Australia apparently makes an exception (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9670, Aug 11 at 0350, Texas R SW test with `YROT`
versions, via Channel 292, only S3/S5 and noisy direct = SINPO 25232.
Insufficient for easy listening over here. Others report better
results; it was aimed toward western N America. Station claims 10 kW
transmitter power contrary to 1 kW license (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275 & 6165, Aug 11 at 0340 into UTwente, VOT English
missing from both frequencies, as it was for the previous 2200

This report dispatched at 1956 UT August 11

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, August 10 at 0651 UT, ND beacon SW in
StillWater is JBA; had not been able to reconfirm it lately. All
depends on S/N, how much noise remains, and noise-blanking.

Also a JBA carrier on 267 but no ID copiable. Surely HET in HenryEtTa,
25 watts as heard before and the only 267 currently listed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 10 at 2200, UTwente is getting a carrier with no
audio, but off around 2202*, and no come back. Not on alternate goofs
9875 nor 11795. So much for VOT English today; something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2255 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Saturday August 10 at 0330 ex-0400 on WTWW 5085. I was listening at
0300 and heard WOR start to play for a few seconds, but then cut to an
hour of harmonious gospel music; no WOR at 0330, and chopped off the
air at 0357* before WOR could appear at previous time. Evidently
George`s timechange was not implemented by Bob Biermann, who later
told me that would not be convenient. The ``attack`` on George may
have contributed to the lack of coördination. Who knows what may
happen next week? Then I hear from George on the phone Aug 10 around
1840 UT. He`s hurting but able to keep running WTWW. Hopes to get the
other transmitter going next week with separate programming; he told
me previously, 9930 daytime, 5910 or 5920 nighttime, not 5830. 9475 on
the air again normally at 2235 Aug 10, anticipating WOR at 2300.

** U S A. Latest on the WTWW situation: see WORLD OF RADIO report

UNIDENTIFIED. 890 kHz, Aug 10 at 0430, the Fuerteventura, Canary
Islands SDR is getting a JBA signal here hetting 891 Algeria - the
reverse of what I hear in OK. 890 has to be from the Americas, perhaps
the 200? kW Cuban, or the closest Brazilian, 20/10 kW R. Tamandaré in
Olinda, Pernambuco, ZYI772. Would you believe that mwlist does not
specify the STATE of each ZY entry? It`s a huge country and that would
be like eliminating states from USA listings - the most informed
American would never be able to know the state for every little town
with a radio station - and many town names are duplicated in several
states. So I had to look in WRTH 2024 which does show the states. BTW,
Tamandaré sounds familiar: was it also on SW long ago? I had been
checking this remote for TWR Benin, a weak signal on 1566, and not
much on 1476.

As to the het from 891 I hear against 890 WLS, presumably Algeria,
note this at almost the same time today:
https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/107820942
``889 & 891, 4:23am #42486 -- When there's a 1 kHz heterodyne against
890 the usual guess is 891 Algeria. This may not always be the case.
See if there is also a carrier present on the low side at
approximately 889. The 889/891 pair, as illustrated below, is most
likely from a Progreso Cuba outlet. Inline image -- 890 on the plot is
R. Progreso Cuba dominant. Usual crummy audio.
Plot from PEI SDR screen a few minutes ago, ~0400 UTC.
Mark Connelly, WA1ION | South Yarmouth, MA, USA | FN41vq``

Not now nor ever so far have I noticed anything on 889, but shall be
on lookout for it. Then at 0625 Aug 10 direct with the DX-398 I get an
891 bearing of NE rather than SE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Aug 10 at 0637, JBA signal here, always presumed
to be Estación 4940 or Onda Corta 4940, thought to transmit from Apure
area in southern Venez. Most nights this late there is no signal
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2240 UT August 10

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1390, Aug 9 at 0650 UT, local KCRC Enid in dead

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 21485, Aug 9 at 1514, OSOB is a JBA carrier
here, so also the SSOB, per EiBi, R. Tamazuj via FRANCE at 1445-1600.
There is no point in using abbrs. if you have to keep explaining them,

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug at 2158, well past 2200, no signal from VOT
English direct; so I escuche Spain for a rato. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler. By 2211 recheck, VOT music is on at S9/+10
direct but JBA with NL of S9. By 2232 I have it via UTwente when

** U S A. 293 kHz MCW, Aug 9 at 0637 UT, FBY, ND beacon at Fairbury,
southeast Nebraska. Glad to hear this again, as conditions slightly
improve, vs local and atmospheric noise levels, but noise blanker
essential on NRD-545. Also JBA in daytime at 1521, the only one in a
second-adjacent state. It`s 50 watts per

groundwave at 1521 UT on NRD-545 with noise blanker engaged: besides
local Enid 341 EI: 332 IC Wichita KS; 407 HRU Herington KS; 515 PN
Ponca City OK. There are a few more in OK & KS, still below the noise
level if still on air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. As far as I can tell, this is a legitimate email from George
McClintock at 1558 UT August 9: ``WTWW: Attacked. I was attacked with
a led pipe by 3 illegals and was injured severely. I broke as many
fingers, legs and arms of the attackers as I could. The attackers are
all FAR worse off that I am. It will be several days or weeks before I
can respond to you. George McClintock 8-9-2024``

Earlier UT Aug 9, in good spirits, George had phoned me that the WORLD
OF RADIO time on 5085 would be moved half an hour earlier to 0330 UT
Saturdays. He also remarked that Bob Biermann was facing serious
health problems. I fear that with both of them potentially sidelined,
WTWW operations may suffer. We wish them the best!

9475, Aug 9 at 2157, however, is on air as usual with SFAW outro, but
more of same past 2400. Aug 10 at 0058, QSY announcement to 5085, off
9475 and 5085 comes on by 0059, into `Truth 2 Ponder`. Operations
nominal.

I suppose if he`s laid up, might still operate WTWW by remote control,
but not carry out further repairs on site; or his son could help out.
In the past George has made some outlandish comments verbally - just
kidding. We can hope that`s what happened here, but it`s up to him or
someone in the know to clarify or confirm. If a joke, `tain`t funny,
but better not to be true (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2255 monitoring: confirmed Friday
August 9 at 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.994+ kHz, S8 into UTwente
across Europe.

Also confirmed Friday August 9 at 2030 on WRMI webcast-only.

Also confirmed Friday August 9 at 2203 the 2200 on WRMI 9955: axually
not yet, JBA direct and can`t be sure it`s I/me. 2215 still uncertain.

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` WBCQs check Aug 9 at 2345 into nearby NH SDR:
3265.168 on at S6/S8 with FKB. 5130 -72 Hz = 5129.928 on at S7/9+5
with FKB. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 at S9/+15 with TOMBS. 7490 -72 Hz =
7389.928 at S9/+10 with FKB. 9330.000 at S6/S9 with WLCR. So the
bottom two normally silent frequencies imply a new AAAWWW is imminent.
I continue listening on 5129.928.

UT Sat Aug 10: 0000 William Tell Overture theme starts; first comments
about `messing up the airwaves again``, etc. 0003 it`s a ``Fireside
chat with A&A``, Angela on lofi phone line presumably still in Deland
of Fla. Talking about tube radios, free speech; 80% of Americans are
overweight. We need to take better care of ourselves and the planet.
0029 trimulcasting announcement on 7, 5 and 3, fails to mentions date
but surely a live new one. Politix: can`t have any more ``stolen
elexions`` as he is still delusional. 0040 new issue of Free Radio
Weekly has arrived: spends a lot more time than usual going thru the
pirate logs, finally at 0051 getting to my Enid pirate CB log - ``Hey,
Glenn, how you doing? Must be 105 years old``. 0053 a bit more email.
A&A hold a ``Soviet`` = meeting, for an hour to a sesquihour every day
at noon - as married couples need to do, keep talking with each other.
Muses that he has thought about putting that on the air on 5130.
Wrapup and prayer running a sesquiminute overtime into Hal Turner
after 0100. At 0117*, pulled the plug on 5130; I had let it run but
certainly was not paying attention to Turner! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, August 9 at 0258
gets only one hit, on 819 kHz, a spot hardly ever/never in optimum
winter conditions. MWList shows far most likely is EGYPT:
``NMA Al-Barnameg al-Aam 24h ar Batrah 300 kW General programme, ex 1
MW // 882 918 936 981 1008 1080 1179 1278 1305 1314 1341 1350 1368
1584`` Iran also has a couple, only 50 & 30 kW. When tuned to 818 kHz
USB, I could hear a 1 kHz tone underneath a 2 kHz tone from WBAP.
Batrah is north of Cairo where sunrise today was not until 0319 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, Aug 9 at 0637 UT, JBA carrier hetting WLS,
presumably ALGERIA again; but was not hearing it around 0300. Is it on
air 24h? Yes, per mwlist, but irregular (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15118-15140 approx., Aug 9 at 2213, INTRUDING OTH radar
clickery, peaking S9+10 direct but no broadcasters in the way as our
bands vacantize. Can you blame the OTHRs for moving in? Well, yes,
anyway. 22 kHz bandwidth seems typical, and logged before in this same
area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0140 UT August 10

** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, Aug 8 at 0620, music at S3/S5, no doubt
Ifrikya FM, the OSOB except for 17850 JBA carrier which would be
France. Usually at least a trace of 17600 in the nightmiddle, depite
the `high` frequency and little else on 16 or even 19m. Also JBA at
1455. Nominal sked per EiBi is 0600-2200 Béchar site in Arabic but
with irregular French at 0630-0730 & 1900-1930. In fact I think there
is more of a mixture of languages, incuding at least bits of English
IDs, and 5-minute segments tho none caught lately. HFCC merely
0600-2200, and nothing else ever on 17600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA. re: 21288 USB, August 7 at 2210, TI5/N4YDU making
quickontax, a contest? QRZ.com does not explain why he be in CR nor
for how long, but page has not been updated for 7+ years: ``N4YDU USA
flag USA, NATHAN G MORESCHI, 225 Lumberjack Lane, Louisburg, NC 27549,
USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

I contacted Nate on CW tonight; he was operating TI7W, which is a
“contest station". Many hams go to Caribbean or Central American
countries for contest weekends, where they can rent the use of a
well-appointed stations like TI7W. I'm guessing he's there for the
Worked All Europe contest this weekend (CW version), and perhaps he's
staying over til the following weekend for the North American QSO
Party (SSB).

When visitors are operating during non-contest periods, I believe they
must apply for their own station license (or there may be a reciprocal
agreement in some countries), thus the TI5/N4YDU callsign. Since they
are only away from home temporarily, I wouldn’t expect them to edit
their QRZ page.

Some ops, especially frequent contesters, prefer to make "quickontax",
as you call them, even if they're not in a contest at the moment. This
would better allow them to see how well their signal is getting out,
but it's also a matter of preferred style, of course.

** NEW ZEALAND. 13690.02 approx., Aug 8 at 0626, RNZP at S9/+20. Most
of its frequencies are slightly askew+plus. There is still no link to
``How to Listen`` SW sked from this homepage:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international which is what you get when trying
http://www.rnzi.com
You have to know to go directly to this:

Which shows switch from 13690 to 9700 is supposed to happen at
0558/0559. And 17675 to 13690 at 0458/0459, i.e. only one hour on
13690. On same date, Rodney Johnson in MN found them on 17675 past
0500, and 9700 after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
