Cairo, S9+25/35 into UTwente, whine, crackle, distortion; despite earlier reports that it was sounding better, but not now. Synch first displays 9440.000, then 9439.994+. Sounds like there are two carriers, but maybe the defective Abis have two peaks. 21-22 is supposed to be a pause between CRI until 21 and BBC from 22 on 9440. Heard some Qur`aning for a while, it`s the Fribbath after all, violating Separation of Mosque and State. English sked until 2245, but by 2150 I notice it`s off, probably a few minutes earlier. At *2158 new carrier on with tone, weaker S8/S9 on 9440.003, presumably BBC via Philippines as now sked.

There will be another one on Aug 17? or at least that is when parliament reconvenes. Several world news items too, but they can hardly catch up with two sesquiweeks missed. 2208 about a ``painter of light`` in Valencia, Joaqu?n Sorolla - search him out but beware that all the images that show up are not necessarily his. 2215 about various fiestas around Spain, not necessarily at this time of year, 2224 one in Canary Islands; 2225 ``burial of the sardine`` but I missed where. Most hosted by two YL voices, outro as the familiar Amy Egan and the other someone Quintana. Also heard an unfamiliar OM voice with a canned ID. Other frequencies unchecked except on the waterfall I could also see a trace on 17715 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 11 after 2200, VOT English is not off the air today but first semihour I`m celebrating SPAIN back in business after summer reruns.
