** BRAZIL. 11780, Aug 18 at 2200, no signal from RNA/RNB as I am
tuning up to check Turkey on 11785. So much for `A Voz do Brasil.
Still no 11780 signal into PU2GUN Goiânia remote, UT Tue Aug 19 at
0151 as the token English is already underway, but S9+5/15 on 6180.
0152 already credits for English & Spanish; 0153 RNB IS English outro,
Portuguese ID, Spanish with accents, about 50th anniversary of RNB
starting in Portuguese then Spanish translation, documental about
Parque Rodeador site, evidently rerun; 0158 back to credits already
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Aug 18 at 2203, RHC S9/+10 and suptorted, probably
Portuguese since not // 13780 in music, but that drops to JBA level.
Somethings always wrong at RHC. I see Aoki still doesn`t have RHC on
13780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715 S9+20/30 and much weaker 15390 direct, while 15500 &
15520 are still OFF, Mon Aug 18 at 2200 and later, REE stays in
Spanish, NO English! as originally M/W/F at this hour. To be expected,
as Alan Roe warned us earlier at 0703:
``Maybe no REE English this week? I have just noticed that the REE
daily programme schedule for this week
https://www.rtve.es/play/guia-rne/radioexterior/
is not showing any English programming at all. I seem to recall a few
years ago that the English service took a "holiday" break at around
this time (I think that was during the time that Justin Coe was the
only presenter on the English service). However, I wonder if this is
connected to the "new season" of programming recently announced by
Marilyn whereby, starting 1 September, English will only be heard once
a week on Wednesdays? Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` But still in French
after 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.018-, Aug 18 at 2159, NO signal direct from VOT
English; something`s always erroneous at Emirler. However, it`s on at
next check 2207, S9+10/20 direct, must have come on how? late; and at
2225 into UTwente when measured during music, S9+35/45 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non}. WORLD OF RADIO 2308 monitoring: confirmed Monday
August 18 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001- S8/9+10 and
3975.001+ S9/+10 into UTwente. Next:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17525, Aug 18 at 2203 DEJOM is still preaching on WMLK,
S9+50! direct. Are they really aiming at Europe across mostly
darkpath? All three frequencies are supposedly 300 kW at 53 degrees to
CIRAFs 27, 28 and 39 = W & C Europe, Turkey, Arabia. Directly off the
back 233 degrees would be close to thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 570, re last report: ``Glenn, the 570 in Las Cruces was
longtime KGRT up until 2000, with a brief revival in 2014. In the 20th
Century it was a daytimer with a very good groundwave signal, could
hear it along I-40 driving through New Mexico. Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21495, Aug 18 at 2158, JBA carrier is the OSOB and
consequently the SSOB. Nothing listed in Aoki, EiBi or HFCC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. 15460, Aug 18 at 1350, Reach Beyond Australia the SSOB
with `Message of Hope`; 1359 s/off to return at 1200, or 17:30 in
India, bit of kookaburra and off 1400*. Per EiBi it`s multilingual,
the only English 1345-1400 daily, and 1245-1300 days 1345 _only_ =
Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 990, Aug 18 at 0503 UT news in English including wildfires
in Nova Scotia, so likely CBC via CBW Winnipeg. Hardly solid with lots
of QRM, fades. Suspect is underpowered despite clear-channel 50/46 kW
non-direxional status. Otherwise, it`s our best chance to hear CBC
Radio One, much more so than 540 CBK or any other (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CANADA. 6754 USB, Aug 18 at 0450, CHR, Trenton Military, with
aviation weather for Trenton itself valid Aug 18 0000z to Aug 18
2400z. Altho I don`t have patience to monitor an entire loop, at
random chex I`m not hitting any ``no report received``s now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, UT Mon Aug 18 at 0449, RHC S9+30/40 but suptorted.
After straining for about a minute, I decide it`s Spanish instead of
English, as RHC claims to run both at same time on 6000 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 13605, Aug 18 at 1415, R. Martí VG tho only S5/6 on
meter with `Café Digital`, about holographic television and other
topix with rock music breaks. Very rapid pace but I`m pleased to
understand almost all of it tnx to excellent clearly enunciating
announcers. Not about Cuba in particular; could well qualify as a VOA
Latin American service. Also slightly weaker on 11930, 11860 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1190, Aug 18 at 0433, ``vacúnase para Chihuahua`` PSA,
therefore XEPZ, Ciudad Juárez, as I suspected during previous SS log.
IRCA says 1000/250 watts, ``Máxima 99.1, Tu Estilo de Vida`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955.13 AM, UT Mon Aug 18 at 0452, dead air then
music and ``glorious independent sideband AM stereo``, but I can`t
copy axual ID; then same announcement by YL in German. 0454 mentions
``ten dollar whore``, music with heavy beat; S9+10/20. Of course I`m
not set up to copy ISBs separately. Stern Radio says it`s them after
reports heard in Alaska, South Carolina:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,148885.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, Aug 18 at 0458 Station YHWH JBA with the
recognizable intonations of Josiah (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 13580, Aug 18 at 0514, music, French, S9+10 with heavy
flutter; it`s RRI Tsiganeshti at 0500-0527 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. LW/MW beaconscan Aug 18 at 0444-0445 UT hits JBA carriers
mainly with assumed IDs: 251 AM Amarillo TX, 293 FBY FairBurY NE, 332
IC wIChita KS, 407 HRU HeRington KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 353 MCW kHz, Aug 18 at 0620, ND beacon LI, which is 400
watts from LIttle Rock AR. Haven`t heard this one since last logged
March 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2308 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
August 17 at 2100 on WRMI 15770, S9/+15 into UTwente where it`s
aimed.
Also confirmed Sunday August 17 at 2154 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.000 S9/+5 and 3975.002- S9/+5 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Sunday August 17 at 2300 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/15 into
Knoxville SDR.
Also confirmed Sunday August 17 at 2339 the 2330 on WRMI 9455, S9+5/15
into Knoxville SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday August 18 at 0036 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S9/+10 into S TX SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday August 18 at 0302 the 0300 on Area 51 webcast
only; WBCQ 5130v not checked but normally off in time to avoid WOR.
Next:
1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4840, UT Mon Aug 18 at 0447, WWCR-3 with inimitable voice of
John Jurasek on VORW playing a music request. WWCR program grids now
updated to Aug 11, but *still* with wrong CT/UT conversions! Showing
this at 11 pm Sunday = 0500 UT Monday instead of 0400! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 570, Aug 18 at 0625 UT, ``Kool 104.5``, soft rock, YL DJ.
It`s KWML Las Cruces NM, U1 5000/155, UC:AC // mere translator K283CG
per new NRC AM Log. Totally dominant, where`s KLIF? Suspect on day
power. FCC LMS shows call sign history: KWML since 12/02/2014; before
that, briefly KGRT from 02/04/2014, and before then from 10/02/2000
KSNM. But I`m trying to remember what it was in the XXth century when
I briefly lived in LC - I think it was KGRT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 780, UT Mon Aug 18 at 0640 on WBBM, a *new* StarDate. The UT
Sun Aug 17 was a repeat of UT Sat Aug 16. Not obvious unless you
remember and follow each, since WBBM deletes the *date* at the start
of each show! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 900, Aug 18 at 0630 UT, ID as 95.3 and KF??.com: it`s KFUL
Fulton MO, U1 1000/135, // mere translator K237GU, ``The Big 900`` --
imagine that! Still branding as AM rather than FM frequency. Fulton is
just east of Columbia off I-70. There is one other 95.3/900 match,
WCBX in Bassett VA, no way (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 990, Aug 18 at 0637 UT, 901 area code ad, `Mighty 9-90`` --
that`s KWAM Memphis TN, U4 10000/450. Of course I was trying to hear
CBW; see CANADA. KWAM day pattern is about East/West; night pattern
NW/SE per
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KWAM&service=AM&h=N&z=i
and site just barely across the River in *Arkansas* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 1180, Aug 18 at 0637 UT, ``Infinity Sports Network``; new
NRC AM Log shows the only 1180 ISR is: KZOT Bellevue NE, U4
25000/1000, address in Omaha. Radio-locator shows site is in IOWA,
broad lobe favoring SW. Avoiding KOTV IBOC 1183 by LSB tuning (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1370, Aug 18 at 0500 UT, ID as 98.7 FM and KWRD?.com - NRC
AM Log shows KWRT Boonville MO, U1 1000/84 watts, also on 98.7 K254DE.
Boonville is just west of Columbia in central MO near I-70 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1469 kHz, Aug 18 at 0430 UT, JBA carrier hetting 1470s.
Aha! same weakness on 1431 kHz which I have been hearing for several
nights. No 9/kHz plan stations nor 1430 Cubans to account for it, but
1469 & 1431 imply that a *1450* station is putting out matching spurs
plus/minus 19 kHz. There are only about 162 of those in US & Canada,
plus a couple Mexicans. So, everyone, please check your radio for a
local or daytime-audible 1450 which is spurring in this way. I
normally bandscan at 10/kHz steps in USB, but this time I was doing it
in LSB, thus hitting 1469 which I had missed before. Is there
something in the circuity of AM transmitters which could account for
19 kHz spurs? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6938 AM, Aug 18 at 0456, S9/+10 open carrier vs high
noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7235, Aug 18 at 0457, JBA carrier still mystifying
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7259 CW, Aug 18 at 0458, slow CW, ham way out of CW
subband? But just sending .- over and over = AAAAAAA. No 7260 Vanuatu
audible yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9936, Aug 18 at 0510, S9/+10 open carrier with clix
every 3 seconds, also detectable out to 9928/9948 approx., likely
further with lower noise level. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11580, Aug 18 at 0513, noise roughly 11575-11585, sounds
like dirty DRM, but nonesuch listed, only ChiCom jamming and Sound of
Hope. 11580 was once WRMI`s only 25mb frequency; why with 14
transmitters are they never on 25 any more? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 21800, Aug 17 at 0144, Chinese S7/S9 with Doppler flutter,
OSOB, no doubt jammer vs Sound of Hope, at 2300-1400 per Aoki; except
for Denmark on 11m, highest frequency listed. Also JBA carrier on
18970, no doubt the same at 22-10. Also at 0148 carrier only on 15916;
if on 15920 could be another SOH jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 4765, Aug 17 at 0133, R. Progreso music not off the air,
S9+20/30; while 5025, R. Rebelde at 0134 is nothing but a JBA carrier.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. ``Regarding the loggings of Cuba on 6000 kilohertz, I do
notice that more often than not they seem to be relaying Cuban
television. However the last time I did hear anything that sounded
like proper RHC content, was on the 12th of August at 0300 UT when I
did hear what sounded like the Cuban National anthem. I must admit
however that I did not hear a proper station ID at that time, so
perhaps the anthem was being broadcast on TV
Tony Pavick, Hope BC`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9580, Aug 17 at 0122, CRI English
discussion with decent modulation! via CUBA, S9+30/20. Later at 0146,
same programming // on 17640, 3 or 4 seconds ahead of 9580; and
synchro with 17640 on 13640 at 0149. Both those via Kashgar (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7570, UT Sun Aug 17 at 0140, WRMI with ``Mighty
KBC`` ID, S9+20. But WRMI skedgrid shows it`s supposed to be at 0200
UT Monday on 7570 System K, among several other times and frequencies.
Something`s odd at Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Aug 17 at 0124, pirate music S9+20/30
direct. Later: ``Drunken DJ Radio on 6950 khz USB. Reportedly the DJ's
birthday! With some SSTV and cool tunes

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, Aug 17 at 0128, KGWA Enid still/again OC/DA, S9+40;
but modulating at next check 0149 plugging a new app to get their
100.9, KOFM 103.1 and something else other than 960 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Aug 17 at 0306 UT, KOTV Tulsa in deadair except for
somehum, but remodulating by 0308; meanwhile its IBOC noise remained
hashy peaking 1157 & 1183 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210 kHz, Aug 17 at 0305, Five-State Big Talker, KGYN
Guymon blasting in obviously from my angle on ND day pattern of 22 kW
failing to protect WPHT, frequently but not always the case (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PERU. 4810, 4820, 4955, Aug 17 at 0133, JBA carriers direct, the
last weaker than 4940, no doubt the usual Peruvians none of which are
there later at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sun Aug 17 at 0136, classical piano music
S9+40 from WRMI. That would be `Encore` toward the end of its biweek
run, heard whole thing last weekend. I really enjoy Brice Avery`s
selexions of familiar and unfamiliar music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.004-, Aug 16 at 2233, VOT English not off the air,
S9+30/45 during music into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11660.006+, Sun Aug 17 at 1701, VOT English with
`Letterbox`, S9+20/30 into UTwente, but I still have trouble
understanding everything, with some distortion. Initial comments on
Ephesus, Virgin Mary, hostess years away from retirement. 1) Chris
Campbell, Ohio, reads entire email including comments on Gaza/Israel;
and follows suggestion to slow down speaking for better comprehension.
2) Annan?, Chat--, India, heard Urdu at 12-13 on 17580. 3) Jayanta

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, Aug 17 at 0135, WTWW S9+30/40 with JBA parasitic spurs
plus/minus 12.8 kHz but no other spurs or splash. Off after 0300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Re my WMLK logs: ``I logged them on both 15150 and 17525
Friday Midday Pacific time. It being daylight they initially both
started out rather poor but did improve by sign off on 17525. But it
is worth noting that they give out wildly inaccurate broadcast
schedule information at sign off. To my ears it sounded like he said
that 17525 was on the air from 1700 to 2200 UT. I also note that Elder
Jacob O Meyer has been spewing some interesting conspiracy theories as
of late. Black Helicopters and End Times and Last Days. I will admit
however, that a segment he did several months ago about the history of
the Mennonite people in that part of Pennsylvania was very very
interesting. Tony Pavick, Hope BC`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 17 at 0630, R. Vanuatu is JBA, still here;
ex-9960 was much better for us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1090, Aug 17 at 0156, something in Spanish JBA vs 1080
KRLD IBOC noise on plus side of 1090. Probably KMXA Aurora CO at 50 kW
daypower just before LSS at 0200 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1190, Aug 17 at 0304 UT, Mexmx seems E/W-ish. Maybe KNUV
Tolleson AZ, still on 5 kW day power, but it`s news/talk. Make that
more likely XEPZ Ciudad Juárez, Grupera format, 1000/250 watts (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1431 kHz, Aug 17 at 0130 UT, that JBA carrier hetting

have noticed it before. 40m above 7200 normally sparse is crammed with
LSB hams, but none right on 7235; must be contest. Still there at 0630

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 10125 USB, Aug 16 at 0634, JBA phone ham QSO
seems English, presumably Aussies, again showing up like last year,
but could never catch an ID. It seems only? VK authorizes phone on the
30m hamband. Also on 10125 CW, the usual HK3QQ COLOMBIA with his
corrupt keyboard letter sequences (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 990, Aug 16 at 0704 UT, am not hearing CBW, normally
audible at night but varies a lot due to QRM and auroral, rather a CBS
station, see unID. Because Andy Reid reported Aug 15: ``I have been
noticing an absence of 990 CBW Winnipeg overnight in Southern Ontario
for over a month. Usually it makes its presence known. Has anyone else
noticed a lack of signal?`` Anyhow, circa 18 UT, CBW is certainly not
off the air into Wpg remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 870, Aug 16 at 0712 UT, whooper or rather squeaker
under WWL, and not under WHO at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 1141 kHz, Aug 16 at 0656, het upon 1140s, presumed Cuban
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also UNID 1431
** OKLAHOMA. 960, Aug 16 at 0704 UT, KGWA Enid is OFF! Wish I had
noticed earlier. But still on 100.9 translator: how can that be, no AM
to ``translate``?? 960 still off at 1812 UT: must be something
serious. So what else can I hear now on 960? See U S A. Hope still
AWOL tonight (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 17580, Aug 15 at 2055, RRI signing off the 2030 to
NAmericaEast, plugs next transmissions, 2055 IS five+ times to 2057*.
S9/+10 into Maryland SDR; I need to check how well this arrive direct.
The next English at 2200 on 9740 is a JBA carrier, intended for W
Europe, needs to be higher to reach here. Suspended 11800 would be a
bit better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715+, slightly on plus side as usual, Fri Aug 15 at 2158,
token English from SNR, S9+20/30 direct, much stronger even than 17525
WMLK. Weak 15390 also audible, but 15500 & 15520 are OFF. 2200 open
English, preview something about a palacio in Madrid, Canary Islands,
no news. I can`t fully understand Marilyn Quintana with her accent
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 15 at 2157, VOT not off the air, S9+10/20 direct
vs high noise level, IS and ID in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 326 MCW kHz, Aug 16 at 0642 UT, beacon MA is JBA, not heard
for a longtime, 400 watts at MidlAnd TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Haven`t heard any 10m beacons lately, but a few are making
it Aug 15 at 2159-2206, with info from WGB list:
28225 CW, K5GJR/B: ``28224.5 K5GJR/B - Orange Grove TX USA EL17hr - #0
(15 Mar 2025) Note: ID + grid - A-99 vertical pwr 2.5w``
28215 CW, KA9SZX, with no /B, slow sending: ``28215.0 KA9SZX - Macomb
IL USA EN40pk - #0 (20 Feb 2024) Note: Ant Cushcraft CX-1000 pwr 3w``
28297 CW, NS9RC: ``28297.0 NS9RC - Highland Park IL USA EN62be - #0
(08 Apr 2025) Note: de ID + grid EEE - Half wave vertical pwr 5w -
North Shore Radio Club``
All have been heard several times before. Which reminds me, have not
heard K6FRC/B in a long time, used to be a strong regular signal on
28300 from Tracy CA, 100! watts. Nor the HIFER K6FRC on 13565 - LWCA
https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm says OFF TFN as of
7/2024.
Meanwhile a lot of CB channels were hopping with hets - how come no
two CB transmitters are on-frequency? And one unID phone ham USB on
10m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2308 monitoring: confirmed Friday
August 15 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.994+, S7/S8 into
UTwente across Europe.
Also confirmed Friday August 15 at 2224 the 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10
direct seems undermodulated.
Also confirmed Friday August 15 at 2237 the 2231 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.002-, S9/+10 into UTwente with storm crashes.
Also confirmed UT Saturday August 16 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, S8/9+10
into NH SDR, following Ancient Word Radio ID after `Truth2Ponder`, WTWW
ID as 100,000 watts on 9475 & 5085, and ``You are listening to the
ministry of...`` Cut to ``This is Glenn Hauser with World of Radio
2308...`` - all seemed fine but recheck at 0327 it`s already off the
air, unknown when this happened or why; I`ve asked George.
Also confirmed Saturday August 16 at 1456 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.000, S9 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Saturday August 16 at 1600 on WRN North America
stream.
Also confirmed Saturday August 16 at 1730 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Aug 15 at 2355: NO signals on
3265, 5130 or 6160; sometimes the 5 and 6 do cut on with IS & ID loop.
7490 at 0000 UT Sat Aug 16, WBCQ ID and into `WTO` theme; interjexions
somewhat familiar, but no courtesy announcement that this would be a
repeat. Then also on 9330. Finally mentions that ``today``, Zelenskyy
was thrown out of the White House -- so it`s not the real today`s
non-news about the Anchorage Summit, but from Feb 28! Yes, see my
report on that UT March 1; Never mind.
5130, UT Sat Aug 16 at 0058, this WBCQ is now on with IS & ID loop, an
hour later than usual, -85 Hz = 5129.915, S9+10/20 into NH SDR, and
0100 `The Devil`s Advocate` which per websked is supposed to be at
0200-0300 UT Sats and on 6160, 7490 instead. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 960 kHz, Aug 16 at 0705 UT in absence of local KGWA,
somestation IDs as 101.7. The NRC AM Log and the WTFDA FM DB agree the
only 960/101.7 match is: WSVU, North Palm Beach FL, U4 2400/1400, and
W269DS, Radio Elite International, Haitian! Of course an ID in English
could still happen, but this still seems a bit far to be fetched
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 960 kHz, Aug 16 at 0706 UT, in absence of local KGWA Enid,
weather and ``River Radio`` ID. That`s KZIM Cape Girardeau MO, U2
5000/500 which I`ve heard before during KGWA when its air is merely
dead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 16 at 0635, RV JBA with music S6 = noise level
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Aug 16 at 0716 UT, `C2CAM` // 940 KIXZ, 1040 WHO,
etc. Too many 930 affiliates to speculate; but where`s WKY OKC? Maybe
still on but lost in the pileup (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 990, Aug 16 at 0701 UT, CBS news, loops roughly E/W. New
NRC AM Log shows the only CBS on 990 is WTIG Massilon OH, U4 250/112,
also with ESPN. Certainly not enough to go on; I am checking for CBW
Winnipeg which is due north and normally audible at night, but varies
a lot due to QRM. See CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1370, Aug 16 at 0653 UT, ``AYE AM & FM, your voice here
in...`` partial ID, but I can`t find any fuzzily similar calls in the
new NRC AM Log. Reverse lookup I try in WTFDA FM DB, searching on
relay of: everything on 1370. Lots of them almost all translators,
including K224FS of KLOE 1370 in Goodland KS. KLOE might qualify
fuzzily, but trouble is, KLOE is really on 730!! O well (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1431.0 kHz, Aug 16 at 0651 UT, JBA het upon 1430
signals. Only significant transmitter on 1431 is 600 kW VOA/Sawa
DJIBOUTI -- but not this late and besides is supposedly turned off.
And when it was active, not in daytime between 02 and 16 per mwlist.
In Asia/Pacific, nothing more than 10 kW in Australia, China, Japan,
New Zealand, Thailand, and besides it`s way too early in daytime for
any of those. So, more likely yet another CUBAn inexplicably
transmitting +1 kHz. It`s not a modulated tone from somestation, since
not also on 1429. However, mwlist and WRTH show NO Cuban on 1430, let
alone 1431 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 15 at 0551, RHC S9+25 but suptorted, drama with
dialog in English - like soundtrack from a TV show or movie, wrong
satellite feed into transmitter or thumbing nose at Habana HQ? This
happens frequently. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** GERMANY. 6070, Sat Aug 15 at 1704, Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot via
Channel 292, with one of Tom Lehrer`s greatest hits, then into Syrian
music as previewed; another Lehrer at the end 1756. S9+20 into DL7APJ
remote, better than UTwente. Slight CCI when there should be none,
certainly not CFRX at this hour. Maybe crossmod at rx. HFCC shows 6070
as a JIC/MIC channel from Yamata, Japan; possibly reactivated in
rotation. Further repeats of UBMP: Fri 2100 on 3955, Sun Aug 17 at
1700 on 9670 eastward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. MW beacon bandscan, Aug 15 at 0633-0635 UT audiblizes a few
benefiting from reduced noise level, heard before in better
conditions:
356, ODX, Ord NE, 25 watts;
392, FMZ, Fairmont/Beklof NE, 25 watts - first heard tuned to 390 USB;
400, AHQ, Wahoo NE, 25 watts;
420, PK, Olathe/Herbb KS, 25 watts.
Overall, I tend to hear more of these from 2nd-adjacent state
Nebraska, than first-adjacent Kansas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2308 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday August 15 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, as always JBA direct,
S3/S4. But also:
``Friday 8/15/25 WRMI Broadcast 15770 khz --- Greeting Sir, I listened
to your program this morning at about 1300Z-1330Z, RST 5/+20/9 with
occasional QSB. Radios: Kenwood TS-440VAT, TS-440SAT, Xiegu G1M, and
ATS-20 are shortwave capable. Antenna: 130ft NVIS on fence at 6 Ft.
QTH: Currituck, NC. Thank you for your comprehensive shortwave station
synopsis.
Though an amateur radio operator since the later 70’s, I’d rather
listen than operate preferred CW mode most of the time. Was active in
CA as WA6VTT, Midway Island as WH4AAB & KH4AC, Guam and continuing as
KH2EE. I guess radio has been a big part of life. Starting as a kid
with AM, and later FM, CB, and amateur radio since. Retired from US
Navy as a Chief Radioman after 21 years plus service. Was a Navy MARS
operator as NNN0AGM, and SOCAL broadcast station operator NNN0DBA
before Homeland Security absorbed AFMARS, and Navy MARS program was
sunsetted. Just a little radio background. Have a great day! Keep up
the good work. Thank you sir. 73, KH2EE`` = Richard P West. More of

** U S A. Correxion: the WREC translator is on 92.1, not 97.1 as I
mistyped at first reference due to my indistinct scribble originally.
600 kHz, Aug 2 at 0635 UT, ``600 WREC and 92.1 FM``, back
into C2CAM. The 600 I normally hear with C2CAM is WMT in IA, but no
sign of it now. WMT major nightlobe goes SW thisaway, while WREC goes
WNW/NW from Memphis. 92.1 is a mere translator, W221CR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 600 kHz, Aug 15 at 0629 UT, WMT ID during break in `Coast to
Coast AM`, otherwise horrible CCI from another C2CAM station, way out
of synch, maybe 20 seconds later, presumably WREC. C2CAM is a
tolerable call-in talkshow with variety of topix and not totally
far-right-political like `Red Eye Radio`.
1150, KSAL Salina KS is another C2CAM, with a good signal nighttimes
direxional thisaway but another C2CAM is almost synchro making it
sound like a reverb. Last year`s NRC AM Log shows these possibilities:
WNDB Daytona Beach FL, WJBO Bâton Rouge LA, KRMS Osage Beach MO, WIMA
Lima OH, KAGO Klamath Falls OR, KQQQ Pullman WA, WHBY Kimberly WI,
CKFR Kelowna BC. Same in new NRC AM Log just received, minus CKFR. I
would go with 5 kW WJBO except it`s direxional E/W; or rather KRMS
840/55 watts, ND from middle of MO (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR)
** U S A. 770, Aug 15 at 0635 UT, `Red Eye Radio`, obviously KKOB
Albuquerque NM, bigsig sounds like back to 50 kW and not notched
thisaway toward WABC. Since a Fest balloon knocked down one of their
towers in North Valley last year, has been on much reduced power and
probably ND at night, which makes it much more audible thisaway.
Latest info via NRC DX News: ``Applications for CPs received:
770 KKOB NM Albuquerque – Applies for CP with U2 50000/5000, new site
(co-located with
KTBL-1050 and KOAZ-1510) at 34-58-48.5, 106-44-16.2``
Per radio-locator, KTBL site is SSW of ABQ near Isleta Village Proper.
Will they still need/operate that co-channel fill-in nighttimes in
Santa Fe? At this hour, RER is always a split second behind neighbor
760 WJR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 15 at 0548, JBA carrier, even weaker than the
7235 mystery. RV is back here, not heard on 9960 last night nor
tonight. Ron Howard found it on 7260 at 0505 into NZ SDR. Zach Liangas
says it changed again to 3945 after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
