Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** AUSTRALIA. 28450 USB, Aug 2 at 2202, OSOB is a VK4 about to take a bathroom break, he tells the world, but no clear ID. Nor any beacons audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BOLIVIA. 6145, August 1 at 0112, still no signal from R. Betania into Brasília SDR. It was widely heard for sure on only one UT date, July 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2254) ** BOLIVIA. 6145, Aug 6 at 0342, and a couple hours earlier into Brasília SDR, still no signal from R. Betania, nor ever heard since first and only surprise appearance July 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 21270 USB, Aug 7 at 2208, 5K3L calling QRZ/CQ making quickontax in some contest including W2LQC? QRZ.com: ``5K3L Colombia flag Colombia, LIGA DE RADIOAFICIONADOS DE BOGOTA - HK3LRB, CALLE 125 # 21A - 84 Oficina 201, Bogota 111011, Colombia. QSL: Via LoTW, QRZ.com, eQSL, Direct``. And here`s why the odd prefix: 5K3L ``Commemorative QSL - QSL Conmemorativa, 205th Anniversary of the Battle of Boyaca, August 7th - 1819`` [sic; it`s Boyacá and Bogotá], and yesterday: ``Commemorative QSL - QSL Conmemorativa, 486th Anniversary of the Foundation of Bogotá, August 6th - 1538``. Nothing heard about such events on the air. After nosigs on 28 or 24 MHz bands, first one I hit tuning down from 21450; then back up to CR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COSTA RICA. 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) ** CUBA. 631.0 kHz, August 5 at 0630 UT, het very close to 1 kHz against 630 stations. Trouble is, this is not a TA/TP frequency, as the 9-kHz plan coincides with the 10- on 630. Must be something off-frequency. Terry Krueger, FL, reported: ``631 CUBA Radio Progreso, Camagüey, Camagüey 0940 6/9/24 Presumed. As discovered by Mark Connelly in early May, this one continues and very strong with no audio here (and nothing on 629 kc/s -- though audio from 630 is fine). I believe David Crawford pulled tiny Progreso audio out of it recently. Points central/eastern Cuba from here. If so, this is the only Prog on the channel. Something is always wrong in, well you know.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, August 1 at 0642, JBA carrier at S9+15 equal to noise level. Maybe remnant of RHC. Only other sked after 0630 is AIR Leh, which if really on air would not be audible from midday there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, August 1 at 0648, R. Rebelde is OFF again. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Good news later for SOLOMONS 5020 (GLenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, August 2 at 0632, R. Rebelde is not off the air nor not not modulating; something`s not wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, Aug 3 at 0311, RHC in English, S9+20/30; also JBA on 15230 & 6000, can`t tell if also English or even really Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5800, Aug 7 at 0630, lite pulse jamming against nothing as not ``needed`` after 0400 when WRMI ends anti-ChiCommunist `Freedom Synergy Radio`. However, at 0300 today, JRX in PBrasil was getting it with no QRM. The other side: ``Unfortunately, Cuba is not Venezuela --- Although el chavismo tried to mimic Castro's totalitarian methods, it never managed to demolish Venezuelan society like the Cuban regime did on the island. RAFAELA CRUZ | La Habana...`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1722974743_56448.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FINLAND. 11690, first Sat Aug 3 at 1824, S6/S7 into UTwente music and talk in presumed Finnish, presumably monthly broadcast of low-power Scandinavian Weekend Radio, need LSB to avoid ACI from 11695 CRI Kashgar in French; gone around 1830. Then at 1837 I check 11720 to find similar S7/S9 signal in the clear, with disco beat as scheduled: http://www.swradio.net/schedule.htm 11720.019 at first, drift down to 11720.008 by 1900. The QSY from 11690 to 11720 is supposed to be at 1800. Nothing heard on // 6170 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FINLAND [non]. 6120, Sat Aug 3 at 1800, JBA signal 2 Hz low into UTwente, checking for Blacksmith Knoll, but this goes off abruptly. Must have been XJRTV in Uighur as scheduled from Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. B.K. supposed to start by 1805, but nothing heard nor at 1915 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 9670, Aug 6 at 0254, ``Country Roads`` song during propagation test by Pop Shoppe Radio on Channel 292, S7/8 direct vs hi noise level. // 6070, of course, blocked by CFRX. Also audible in following hour with music from something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 12105, August 2 at 1452, JBA carrier. EiBi shows this hour only as KSDA in Chinese. It`s also the registered frequency for WTWW, if & when the #3 transmitter reactivate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KUWAIT [and non]. 21221.5 USB, Aug 2 at 2205, 9K2GR, Khalid in contact with NO9E whom I was hearing first; unusual to hear both sides. QRZ.com has no address but lots of certificates, etc. for ``9K2GR Kuwait flag Kuwait KHALED ALHASHEL`` ``NO9E USA flag USA, Ignacy Misztal, 235 Cedar Springs Dr, Athens, GA 30605, USA`` with lots of photos of equipment and expeditions. I always check 10m first, then 12m where I have not heard *any* activity for ages; nor much on 15: this was the first signal I encountered tuning down from 21450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. Where is the RNZI SW schedule? There is no longer a link to it at homepage https://www.rnz.co.nz/international But it is still there at https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen as in the WOR Hitlist. Ironically, this has happened just as their new transmitter is inaugurated, with publicity about the value of SW. I have notified Adrian Sainsbury, so maybe he can get that restored. Yes, says he will do that; but not yet as of 0207 Aug 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Aug 3 at 0309 rock music, S9+10 = to noise level, the OPOB. These say it`s WDOG: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,132152.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27224.53 & 27184.82 approx., AM, August 2 at 1441, Enid CB pirate relaying 105.5 K288FX translator of K-Love KYLV 88.9 OKC, the upper one a smidgin stronger at S9+5 than the lower only S9. Both still going at 2201 recheck but not remeasured (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27224.56 AM, Aug 6 at 2032, Enid CB pirate back on air, S9+20 JBM but matchable to 105.5 K288FX translator of KYLV 88.9 K-Love OKC. Also on 27184.88, slightly weaker S9+15 but merely undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PAKISTAN [non]. 15750, August 2 at 0617, JBA talk at S3/S5 direct. EiBi shows it`s USAGM`s seldom reported R. Mashaal in Pashto via THAILAND at 04-07, switching to Kuwait at 07-12, back to Thailand at 12-13. This is the over-specialized service for both sides of the Paki/Afghani/stan border. Note that USAGM has *two other* ``stations`` in Pashto or partly so, as in WRTH 2024 page 569: VOA Ashna Radio, VOA Deewa Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PANAMA. 28282 CW, Aug 6 at 2205, VVV HP1DCP/B and long message follows presumably gridsquare and website ending with .COM, JBA with fadeouts. QRZ.com: ``HP1DCP Panama flag Panama, RENE IVAN FONSECA, P.O.BOX 0819-09911, REP. OF PANAMA, Panama`` with photos. Not in WGB roster on any frequency! 3568 km = 2217 statute miles. Only other beacon on band: 28160- CW, Aug 6 at 2208, even weaker, VVV DE HP1RIS/B + another long message ending with .COM 73. QRZ.com: ``HP1RIS Panama flag Panama, Ricardo I Schwarz, P.O.Box: 0835-00515, Panama Rep. de Panama, Centro America, Panama. HP1RIS/B, 10 meter beacon, 28.159.5 mhz, 1/4 wave whip, 5 watts``. And WGB roster: ``28159.5 HP1RIS/B - Panama City PNR FJ09ga - #0 (21 Jan 2023) Note: pwr 5w`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA. 21300.08 USB, Aug 6 at 2038, RW1A, Vlad, calling QRZ and working UStations: after no activity on 28 or 24 MHz bands, and first signal hit tuning down from 21450. Only one other SSB audible on this band in tuneacross. Call fonetikaly so no doubt. QRZ.com: ``RW1A Russia flag Russia, Vladimir Aksenov, ul. Perevoznaya 6/11 of 3.3, St-Petersburg 190121, Russia`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.417, Aug 6 at 1958, no noise but good Arabic modulation, and way off-frequency. UTwente won`t synch on it from 11935.0 but will from 11935.5, S9+20/30. In case anyone doubt this still be ``Republic of Yemen Radio``, ID at 2013 amid music mentioning Yemen and Sana`a. Check direct at 2030, JBA carrier about 11935.4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.414, Aug 7 at 1911, ME music, no noise, S9+15/25 into UTWente, same as 24 hours earlier from Riyadh with surrogate Yemeni service, way off-frequency. BTW, have not noticed the other Sa`udi on 25m, Al-Azm on 11745 for quite some time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 2 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+20/30 direct and the other three audible, intro feature to be about the feminine perspective, great women in history who founded and supported El Prado museum. 2201.7 news leads with the prisoner exchange. 2209 recheck the feminine feature is underway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 5 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+30 direct and the other three much weaker but detectable, preview topic about a social media fad to over-expose yourself to the Sun as beneficial, which it certainly is not. Did not catch the name of this nonsense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 7 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct, previewing feature about comix, news leading with something about a delay in investiture in Catalonia as some exile is returning from Belgium. By 2212 the interview in progress about comic art. Other three audible: 17715 almost as good, 15390 JBA, but 15520 for ME off the back is dead air! and still dead at 2215 on S9+10 signal. Something`s notright at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 6165 & 7275, August 2 at 0300 and later chex into UTwente, again, NO signals from VOT`s final repeat of English hour. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. I was wanting to evaluate whether they had any news, rather than olds about the prisoner swap via Ankara, since news about that broke apparently after 1230 August 1 when the first English broadcast is then replayed over and over; as usual on Thursdays I was too busy finishing WORLD OF RADIO during the 2200 repeat, if it happened to be on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug 2 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS & ID in English, S9+10 direct but not enough vs noise level. From 2222 into UTwente when measured S9+40/50, outro of `Weekly Analysis`, music. 2226 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2228 `Turkish Folk Tales` but cannot devote 100+% attention to try to follow it. 2235 music. 2241 `That`s Why` about the world of genetix where only four letters account for all the diversity. 2247 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music, to chopoff at 2250*! Before any formal s/off or IS - and did not return. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7275 & 6165, August 3 at 0305 & 0320 chex, VOT English is absent again tonight, no signals into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug 3 at 2205, VOT English not off the air, S9+35/45 into UTwente in news. 2212 music. 2216 `The Energy Agenda` about power plants storing energy for efficiency. TNX to ``my man``, Alan Holder on the IOW for providing me with names of the announcers I shall try to employ. For that program: Evran Genç, 2222 music. 2226 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` by Evran again, repeat about goat cheese. 2229 music. 2240 more music, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785+, VOT English continued from last report into UTwente, Aug 3 at 2245 TRTVOTWorld.com promo; 2253 s/off for the 1230 on 17620, IS. 2256 pause and restart IS with IDs in German until 2258.3*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004, Sunday August 4 at 2200, VOT English S9+40/50 into UTwente. S/on as the 1230 on 17620 and news, or rather olds, by the heavily accented Ms. Efsun Duri Ergeler, and some sports until 2215, `Weekly Analysis` by some professor about Turkey/Syria relations. 2222 `Letterbox` introduced by Halil Íbrahim Sarıkaya. Says he would like to go on holiday with his family, but he adopted two Anatolian cats from the street a few years ago; besides it`s too hot to go east or south of Ankara on his motorcycle. Then goes thru letters, mostly regulars from India, and more than one each but in jumbled order, mostly just wanting QSLs, some from W Bengal. Also Howard Barnett?, Northampton, England who is still waiting for a previous QSL. Craig Tyson, Perth, Australia, and again and again = thrice wanting QSLs only. The person from ``Letonia`` again. 2236, time`s up, address, ``goodbye, my lovely dear listeners, goodbye`` and 2237 music fill before `L`box` outro at 2243, then more music. 2249 headlines. 2252 s/off and IS to 2253*. Last 10 minutes or so is fading down noticeably (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug 4 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, S9+30 direct including high noise level, unlistenable. 2224 into UTwente when measured, S9+45/50 in music. 2226 `That`s Why` with Ms. Efsun Duri Ergeler ``(Ms. Badax)`` introducing herself, about a trick question, which is heavier, a kilo of iron or a kilo or cotton? i.e., explaining relations among weight, gravity and mass. 2232 music. 2237 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2239 music. 2254 s/off ignoring SW, IS. 2256 restart IS with IDs in German. 2300 s/on German, Alten to 2304* chop. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 6 at 0333, VOT English not off the air with music, much better on this INTRUDER frequency aimed at N America than JBA carrier on // 6165 for S Asia. However, an Indian on `Letterbox` said 7275 was much better for him. Re comments on VOT `Letterbox` --- ``The English Section of TRT don`t appear to understand the difference between someone sending regular monitoring reports to let them know how their transmissions are being received in the target area! I have not asked for any QSL. In fact I haven`t chased QSLs for well over 40 years. Craig Tyson, Perth`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 6 at 2158, no signal direct yet from VOT English; 2159 a JBA carrier? *2200.4 cuts on late at S9 - of dead air, vs noise level of S8. Never any mod until 2202* off again, and still off at 2204, 2219, and also absent at 2233 check into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7275.004, UT Wed August 7 at 0352, I remember just in time to check for the final repeat of the Tue 1230 VOT English, since the 2200 was AWOL. Yes, S9+15/25 into UTwente `with-you-every-hour` {NOT necessarily} promo, 0353 s/off ignoring SW. Something`s always awry at Ankara. Quick switch to 6165: it`s off already or totally, and quick switch back to 7275, it`s also off with hardly any time for IS. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 7 from *2200.4, JBA carrier cuts on late 0direct, so expect to get bigsig from VOT English when I switch to UTwente: BUT no signal at 2239 nor on previous SNAFUs 11795 or 9875. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2253 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday August 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S7/S9 into Brasília SDR.

Opening of Glenn Hauser report confirming that World of Radio IS being broadcast at this time. Covered topics ranging from 1090 AM situation in San Diego/Tijuana area to troubles with North Korea SW transmitting. Also mentioned absence of pirate YHWH, which hasn't been heard at this shack since late June. Good signal level but with some deep rolling fades. Conclusion of WoR 2254 very choppy, likely due to rising sun at the site in Florida. -- Fair to Good Aug 4 {Sunday} Rick Barton, Sun City AZ`` Confirmed Tuesday August 6 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 into Peoria SDR.

Can`t make out any jamming vs storm and line noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA ** U S A. 9955, Aug 5 at 0652, WRMI is off again. I detect a pattern here: a Monday thing, while otherdays stays on past 0700 or all-night. It was also off on Mondays July 29, 22, 15, 8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Aug 2 at 2347 via Maryland and/or NH SDRs: 7490 -73 Hz = 7489.927, S9+5/15 with FKB. 6160 -71 Hz - 6159.929, S5/S6 with TOMBS. The lower two are back on the air! Good omen that a new AAAWWW is imminent rather than a rerun: 5130 -73 Hz = 5129.927, S7/9+5 also with FKB; 3265.142, S6/S7 to JBA, FKB. After 1-minute-warning tone, FKB wraps up and AW speaks before 2400 to `Chariots of Fire` music, 0000 Aug 3 morphing into usual WTO theme. One of his first remarx is ``hide the silverware``, so that will cue us when this become a repeat. Angela is on lofi phone but has a lot to say this week and more or less leads the all-political conversation. Muses whether WBCQ be family-friendly. It`s hot in studio. Too many trux on I-95 and at the rest areas. Everybody buys online rather than shopping at malls which are in decline. Blames Democrats for economic ills; anti-abortion. Vs ``Communist creeps``; mentions *rump by name once so far; also ``our president had his job stolen``; ``we have only one choice``. Biden and Harris are ``nitwits``. So they remain delusional tho had not been so explicit for a few weeks. By now it`s 0021 and I`ve had enough, just as some OTH radar clickery is audible under. Waterfall shows it centered around 7535. At 0050 finally datestamp as 2 of August, trimulcasting on 7490, 5130, 3265. 0055 some email, ``we get heavy``. Electricity now costs WBCQ 26 cents per kWH, far too much, originally was about 12c. Prayer and wrapup in time *not* to run over into Hal Turner`s theme at 0100 and opening! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Aug 6 at 0332, WRNO in presumed Hindi, YL conveying address pronoucing numbers both in Hindi and English: P O Box 895, Fort Worth TX 76101, repeated, and gmail, S9+30/40 direct. I continue to wonder how well this reach India considerably after sunrise, but the nominal 20 degree azimuth from Metairie LA should be appropriate, originally intended only for N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 5 at 0641, KLEY ID for 104.1 & 1130, exactly when I tune across, under KWKH sportstalk. The cheatery continues. Obviously cannot be only one watt as licensed for night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Aug 1 at 0638, after a reliable spell, R Vanuatu is gone again from where it had been operating until 0659. Not heard here on 7260 either and several monitors agree it was not on any known frequency. Meanwhile, WRMI continued its overrun on 9955, S9 in Spanish relay of RFI contrary to own schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2254) ** VANUATU. 9960, Aug 2 at 0622, RV is still AWOL, nor on 7260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, August 3 at 0625, R. Vanuatu reactivated after a few days, ex-9960, and still on 7260 past 0700 with news, S9+10/15. I suppose to descend to 3945 sometime before 1100* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Sunday August 4 at 0647, R. Vanuatu, S9+10 with music, jazzed-up version of `O Come All Ye Faithful` with refrains in English ``O come let us adore him``. Don`t they know that Xmas carols must be played to death only during November & December? Later on, others report RV was stuck in a repeating loop of something. Apparently staying on 7260 to s/off 1100v rather than 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 4940, Aug 6 at 0340 music vs HSNL, and JBA music at 0653. Generically IDs as ``Estación 4940`` but now Manuel Méndez, Spain heard it called ``Onda Corta 4940``. Most nights checked around 0630 it`s absent. Yet it has an alter-ego which QSLs, thought to be phony: ``QSL. Radio La Montana 4940 KHz - Arauca - Colombia con QSL elettronica allegata da radiolamontana (at) gmail(dot)com in 12 giorni per rapporto inviato allo stesso indirizzo di mail.`` Roberto Pavanello, Italia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, August 7 at 0430, JBA carrier hetting 890 WLS. Has got to be the hi-power ALGERIA, and a welcome sign of `the season` coming back, storm and line noise levels low enough to audiblize a regular. Did not perform yet a total 9/kHz bandscan for more of them. Nothing on 531, another Algerian spot, but noise level is worse at bandbottom. However, 891 still audible at 0628! = a sesquihour after Algiers sunrise today at 0459 per gaisma.com - that`s pushing it but maybe possible to the west with 300/100 kW. Hope there not be another off-frequency Cuban here as spoiler. Probably too weak to DF it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1240.2, Aug 5 at 0640 UT, het against 1240.0 graveyard pileup. Probably KCRT Trinidad CO, as IDed long ago, but would be nice if someone close enough in the daytime could measure it. Carrier wobbles a bit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9178-9220 approx., Aug 5 at 0645, multi-carrier ute making tones beating against each other, rather strong when northerlies are suppressed like 9330. What is this? Similarthings upshow elsewhere on utebands, e.g. circa 17450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15080, Aug 3 at 0308, AM carrier of S8/S9. Could it be a broadcaster?
