** CUBA. 550, Feb 22 at 0648, wobbler QRM to US pileup, sort of like
wind whining rapidly. Now similar sound against WWL on 880, where the
wobbling had been much slower. Nothing on 1040 now. WRTH shows one
Cuban on 550, R. Rebelde, Pinar del R?o (GLenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY [non]. 15125, Feb 22 at 0100, CRI in English weak signal
into Georgia SDR, 0104 a bit better into Maryland, but no show of
Radio ??mrang, via FRANCE as predicted by one unreliable and
unspecified source (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 660, Feb 22 at 0700, full ID for XHGBO 92.1 and this time I
do also hear MW ID as XEFZ 660, ABC Deportes, Monterrey (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 21 at 2315 check, token English from SNR, VG
into Georgia SDR, almost as good on 17715, JBA on 17755, and still
absent from 12030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 21 at 2257, no signal from VOT into UTwente, and
9610.000+ has China, anthem at 2300. But by 2316 check into Georgia
SDR, 5960 is now on, VOT English, but no time to listen. A reply to my
previous report:
``Hi Glenn, new segment on Thursday was called "Dream Destinations".
Also today (Friday) saw another two new segments - called "Travelogue"
and "The Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy". Seems like the staff of the
English desk were busy during their hiatus developing new segments.
Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``
5960 and possible erroneous alternative 9610 are both missing, no VOT
into UTwente at 2300 and later Feb 22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Feb 22 at 0648-0708 UT, LW bandscan uncovers these with JBA
MCW IDs, plus many more unID carriers, see UNIDENTIFIED.

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2283 monitoring: confirmed Friday
February 21 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+45 into Georgia SDR.
Also confirmed Friday February 21 at 2330 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003+, S9 into UTwente.
Also at 2330 George McClintock informs me that WTWW-2 is off the air
again, so this week no WOR UT Sat at 0400 on 5085.
Saturday Feb 22 at 0930 on WRMI 9455? I still manage not to awaken
during this to check, but 9455 is certainly off the air before 0800
and also off when I check around 1030; while 7730 is on with TOMBS. At
some point after hurricane damage, 9455 programming at that hour was
supposedly put on 7730 instead. Current transmitter grid shows WRMI-11
9455 OFF the air 0400-2300. But blue System D program grid still shows
9455 at 0900-1000 only, including WOR Sat at 0930, while 7730 is TOMBS
thruout. Contradixions!
Confirmed Saturday February 22 at 1530 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.002+, S9/+10 into UTwente.
Confirmed Saturday February 22 at 1700 and again at 2030 on WRN North
America stream.
