** CUBA. 6000, Sept 19 at 0607, RHC still on S9+25/35 suptorted but I
can tell it`s Spanish, not English. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Sept 19 at 0604, S9+20/25 of dead air, obviously the
CRI relay transmitter still on long beyond its normal hours of 03-05
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 760, Sept 20 at 0617, underneath KCCV still
cheating and WJR, I JB hear a mention of ``Radio Cañón`` -- that`s all
I need to log XEABC, as in IRCA Mexican Log:

``760 XEABC Mex Los Reyes de la Paz 70000 10000 Radio Cañon ,
XERAG Radio Alegría, Tus Mejores Recuerdos, La 7-60, La Estación del
Valle de México, Recuerdos en 760, Alegría 760 AM 24h REC/VAR/CLA
ABC 

No FM. U4? Still maintains a Facebook page with fake call letters
XERAG for its "Radio Alegria" {sic] program. ABC/NTR stations are
struggling to update their branding and formats. Still active on AM
7/25 (logged by DXer), and included in 7/25 IFT list``

About the spelling of Cañón - even lazy natives often omit the accent
on the o, which is absolutely required since it`s stressed on the last
syllable ending in n! --- Hey, we put a tilde ~ on the n, so isn`t
that enough??? And I can`t find anywhere in Log what NTR stand for -
maybe ``No Tildes Required``? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sat Sept 20 at 0554, surprised to hear
classical music on this WRMI; could it be an encore of `Encore`? Yes,
a minute later Brice Avery announces, but does not say good-bye as he
always does *before* the final piece of music, so this must not be the
end of an hour starting at 0500! Also he mispronounces Cherubini,
Josquin and Guillaume, cringe. I hasten to check other WRMIs for
possible parallels - maybe 7730, 7780? Both too weak direct to be
certain. The music is rudely chopped off at 0559:30 for ``Everglades``
ID, 0600 joining WRN for DW. 

The skedgrid for WRMI-12 5850 shows System E WRN at 0400-0800, but
Encore is not on WRN schedule; at 0530, Slovakia. Below, the System E
program grid shows WRN at 0500-0600 on all these!: 5800, 5850, 5950,
7730, 7780, 9455, 9955. But 5800, 5950, 9455 and 9955 are OFF!

Apparently Encore playback started circa 0530 even tho only one
semi-hour was available for it. Latest publicized times for it are
instead:

``Dear Listener,
Regular Broadcast times of Encore By WRMI and Channel 292 are:
02:00 - 03:00 UTC Friday 5850 kHz WRMI to US
20:00 - 21:00 UTC Friday 15770 kHz WRMI to Europe
10:00 - 11:00 UTC Saturday 9670 kHz Channel 292 to Europe
01:00 - 02:00 UTC Sunday 5850 kHz WRMI to US and Canada
19:00 - 20:00 UTC Sunday 3955 kHz Channel 292 to Europe
02:00 - 03:00 UTC Monday 5950 kHz WRMI to the US and Canada
13:00 - 14:00 UTC Tuesday 15770 kHz WRMI to Europe, east coast of US
and Iceland. (Sometimes RTTY on the lower sideband. Suggest notch out
or use USB.)

Some Things to see on The Encore Website:
The Encore website is www.tumbril.co.uk where you will find:
Important information about funding of Encore - Radio Tumbril.
Up to date transmission times and frequencies.
The playlists for the most recent programmes.
An email link...``

The names I heard mentioned appear nowhere on the Playlists for this
fortnight, nor the previous one - so maybe remnant of an older show
still inhabiting the WRMI server and somehow brought up on this
unexpected occasion; the only ENCORE there now is the latest, uploaded
9/17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009+, Sept 19 at 2200, VOT English not off the air,
S9+55! into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

still not also trying 918 or 207 kHz.

Also confirmed Friday September 19 at 2200, inaudible under noise at
Bonaire; but S9+30 on WRMI 9955, into Georgia SDR, and signal briefly

stream. Forgot! to check whether also on any WRMI frequencies now
relaying WRN. However, at 1637, via Georgia SDR, I do hear NHK on

1600.

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Sept 19 at 2349, into the other
NH SDR: 3265.124 is ON! for a change, S6/S7, a sign that finally a new
show be imminent, as they don`t bother to turn it on for repeats, with
FKB. 5130 -87 Hz = 5129.913 also on S7/S8 with jazz music; a bit later
seems to be // not synch with Area 51 webcast. 6160 JBA carrier, so
not? WBCQ yet. 7490 -69 Hz = 7489.931 with FKB // 3265+. 9330 WLCR
Portuguese S9+10. Calibration of this SDR is accurate within 1 Hz
compared to WWV. 

On 7490 & webcast, a few sex before 0000 UT Sat Sept 20, FKB cut off
for ID, and live comments before WTO theme: sun keeps turnin`, good
ol` life keeps going on === good ol` analog WBCQ is here. Finally gets
Angela on the phone; admits it`s been 6 weeks since last new show, now
it`s Sept 19, 2025, TCB. Free Speech under assault: Charlie Kirk
gunned down by a ``leftwing wackadoodle`` - at this early point I
mostly lose interest in the rest even tho occasional chex indicate
they go on to other stuff. Says on all 5 transmitters at 0009, but I
still don`t hear 6160. It is there however by 0026 check at S9+20
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 760, Sept 19 at 0617 UT, gospel huxter in English overcoming
poor WJR. Surely it`s Bott`s KCCV Overland Park KS, U4 6000/200 but on
day power and pattern which is NE/SW thisaway; night pattern also
favors SW supposedly protecting WJR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also

the excellent "ABC Pacific Beat" coverage of PNG's 50th anniversary of
independence. But today I am monitoring about 0445+ UT (Sept 17), and
am not hearing any signal on 9960, 7260, 5040, 3945 or 2485 kHz,
checking via Kiwi SDR remotes in New Zealand. Have alerted the
station, so hope for their quick return to the air. Ron``

``Hi - Sept 18, at 0333 UT, hearing a very nice signal on 9960, in
French, via New Zealand remote. Happy they are back again. Ron``

``Hi Glenn - Sept 18 reply from Radio Vanuatu: "Hi Ron thank you for
listening to Radio programs on short wave. There was a power cut
recently, but we have managed to run everything again and hope you are
enjoying the programs on Radio Vanuatu shortwave. Regards"``

But my next check at 0712 Sept 18, 9960 is off; EiBi shows 9960
changes to 3945 at 0658/0659 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
