Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** CANADA [and non]. 860, Aug 17 at 0642 UT, French audible in the
mix. Maybe KKOW KS C&W be still there but not dominating; vs CJBC
Toronto if not CBKF-2 Saskatoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 7335 // 7365 // 7435, Aug 17 at 0430 R. Mart? VG here
in overkill. Only ONE of these from Greenville B would be sufficient:
all are on almost same azimuth, 183 or 184 degrees; there is no longer
any jamming threat. Also on 6030 much further clockwise, 205 degrees.
They run until 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 9670, Aug 17 at 0436, S9+10/20 in German, no doubt Channel
292 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** HAWAII. 15000, Aug 17 at 0442, WWVH S9/+10, no trace of WWV. I
wonder if WWVH can be or is ever used for emergency info, such as
hurricanes, eruptions, wildfires, earthquakes. At least is still on
air; of course higher frequencies not useful at short range (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 11825, Aug 17 at 0439, English with heavy African
accent about water and sponges, S8/9+10 direct: African Pathways Radio
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) or, ALASKA [non]
** MADAGASCAR. 17530.1, Aug 17 at 0446, Chinese at S9+10. It`s MWV
this hour, off-frequency, as often the case with MWV (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1060, Aug 17 at 0501 UT, quick bandscan for Mex NA hits one
here, not // 6185, so has to be the only other XE, XERDO Matamoros,
Tamaulipas, 7/2.5 kW. Only other NA: 1570, XERF of course. I wonder if
any USSS station ever emit the Mex NA accidentally or deliberately
with a Mex network connexion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Aug 17 at 0429 pirate music S9+10/20 vs
HSNL; off by next check 0508. Nothing reported, not even unID, in HFU
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 9740, Aug 17 at 0437, song with heavy beat, S9+20. It`s
RRI in Romanian via Galbeni (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9770, Aug 17 at 0438, S9+20/30, VOT in Turkish about
T?rkiye (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K O G B A N I [non]. 12095, Aug 17 at 0440, S9+10 BBCWS in
English about some silly ballgame. This is the only hour in English
via MADAGASCAR; 250 kW at 300 degrees carries on well USward. English
M-F at 15-17 is via Oman (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2360 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday August 16 from 2000.6 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.994-,
noisy S7 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Sunday August 16 at 2156 the 2130 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3974.999+, S8/9+10 and 6160.001-, S8/9 into UTwente.
Not confirmed Sunday Aug 16 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, despite Richard
Lemke report of that last week. I still don`t know if that was his
mistake or if it really happened once. Likewise // 17790, still with
Wavescan.
Confirmed Sunday August 16 at 2330 on WRMI 9455, S9+10/25 into Georgia
SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday August 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+15 vs
HSNL into Georgia SDR; and only S3/S5 into S Texas SDR closer to where
it`s aimed.
Also confirmed UT Monday August 17 from 0305.3 on Area 51 webcast
only; JL wasn`t quite finished by 0300 via WBCQ 5130-, but is
oblivious to being chopped off at 0300 sharp for sign-off - as if it`s
a machine controlling that rather than a human with any flexibility.
At 0300 deadair on stream, 0301 music before WOR finally starts.

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7780, Aug 17 at 0432, Ted Randall with a commercial for Icom
IC-9700 ham transmitter, 0433 ID as WRMI Legends. Being late does not
prevent this advertising. Contrary to WRMI skedgrid showing 7780 on
WRN at this hour, and Legends on 7570, unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 7505, Aug 17 at 0430, dead air from WRNO S9+30/40 direct
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1010 kHz, Aug 17 at 0500 UT, ID immediately as ``Legendary
KBBW, Temple-Waco`` TX. Is U4 10/2.5 kW. Night pattern has tight major
lobes to WNW and SSE, minor lobe thisaway between notches:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KBBW&service=AM&h=N
Day pattern from slightly different site favors N/S ovally (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1550 kHz, Aug 17 at 0624 UT ad for Rolling Hills Nissan -
which leads directly to St Joseph MO, so KESJ, U2 2500/500 watts.
Night pattern major lobe NW, pulled in to SW but not a notch:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KESJ&service=AM&h=N
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 17 at 0706, no signal from R. Vanuatu, whence a
carrier at least has always been reliable; nor any on 5040 or 9960;
jumbled their sked again? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Aug 17 at 0453 UT, Spanish mention 96.1 FM, and
Ford ad, (407) 791-2592, Mexican music. Figured would be easy to
pinpoint, most likely WIJR Highland IL near St Louis. But nothing
matches. 407 is Orlando FL area, but 96.1 is WWID-LP Christian; also
in FL, WTMP-FM Dade City regional Mexican, neither with an 880
connexion. That phone number, which I am sure I copied correctly and
it was repeated, even with a (407) AC, leads to a PR counselor in
Humacao, Puerto Rico! No 880s in FL or PR. Better on E/W loop vs KRVN
to the north (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 920, Aug 17 at 0454 UT, talk in English under KYFR
music, best on E/W loop. Would have assumed KARN Poca Roca, but it`s
been silent, still? Fades down for ToH ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1560, Aug 17 at 0625 UT, discussion of lone star ticks,
something in English topping Vietnamese KGOW, so another Texan? There
are three, one of which is talker, KZQQ Abilene 500/45 watts (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, Aug 17 at 0503, Spanish music, better on N/S
shortwire than E/W loop. Likely WCGO Evanston IL heard before, despite
U1 8700/24 watts. But there are several other USSS on 1590 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, Aug 17 at 0435, JBA carrier S9 = noise level. Only
Lhasa is listed now but more likely FRANCE failed to turn off after R.
Rep?blica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
