** CHINA. 13690, Aug 18 at 2207, harmonious songs in unknown language,
S9/+10 direct. Aoki and HFCC show CRI Spanish via SZG = Shijiazhuang
site, 500 kW at 315 degrees. WRTH 2026 maps show it on page 58, not 60
or 61, just SW of Beijing, for CIRAF 37NW = Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 7339.999, Aug 18 at 1530 as I am
monitoring for FRANCE, q.v., into UTwente now some modulation is
barely audiblizing; by 1552 is a song at S7/S8; I switch to Kuwait
SDR, where it`s much stronger, same offset, VG S7/S9. 1600 5+1
timesignal and presumed Kazakh talk, from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi. Now
this has ACI from Chinese on 7335 which would be CNR2 from Baoji site
but it stops at 1605* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE [non]. 7340, Aug 18 at 1502 tune-in via UTwente, nothing at
first from Mini-Atlantique marine weather, but sometimes such as 1515,
lox onto JBA carrier S6/S7 on .000, maybe trace of mod, could be PBS
Xinjiang, EAST TURKISTAN, q.v. in Kazakh which originally had 7340 to
itself 23-18 UT except for a Korean clandestine via Taiwan at 12-15
per EiBi. Of course, nothing at all into Azores SDR on original //

WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Years. Posted: Aug 19, 2026 / 05:58 PM CDT
ENID, Okla. (KFOR) — AM signals do strange things inside the earth’s
atmosphere, they bounce around a little. Sports talk show host Derek
Darr says the station has a couple of letters from other continents.
“Our transmitters are just outside,” he points out. “There are 3 of
them.
{! he`s talking about towers, not transmitters -- gh}
“We have one letter from a guy in Argentina.”...

``Is This a Great State, or What?`` (via Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
What?
** OKLAHOMA. 5140 USB, Wed Aug 18 at 1400-1406, no sign of any signals
from the Oklahoma Operations Secure HF Test Net; nor on some quick
chex of alt. 7477. Maybe on deliberate summer vacation break (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.65 approx., Aug 18 at 2201, S9+10 open carrier from
Enid CB pirate rather than modulating something; and totally off at
next check 2217 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.91 AM, Aug 19 at 1421, Christian rock relayed by
Enid CB pirate; soon found matching 89.7 = KJTH Ponca City; by 1448
has drifted to 27184.89 with `The House FM`` ID in passing, still past
1456. Tho licensed to P.C., is essentially a local signal in Enid with
100 kW from site halfway to Enid, just S of Lamont near St Hwy 74. And
now is also a SW station without even trying or knowing (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500 etc., Wed. Aug. 19 at 2200, missed token English from
REE, but here it is, anyway; FGL is only one of many topix:

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
``Glenn: Much to my surprise I ran across your PodCast of World of
Radio on You Tube. I remember you from years ago listening to you on
ShortWave. What a pleasure to listen to your latest Podcast. I started
listening to ShortWave in the (Good Old Days) when I was 10 years old.
I am now approaching 75. I got my first Ham license when I was 12. I
have a variety of short wave radios (several Grundig/Eton) and my old
Yaesu FRG-7. All the world wide broadcasters are gone but after
listening to your Podcast there appears to still be some interesting
things to tune in and listen to. I was surprised to see that you live
in Enid, OK not all that far from Sherman, TX. Glad to know (and hear)
that you're still around producing World of Radio. Wishing you God's
best and 73. David Reeder, WAØURJ, 308 Forest Creek Drive, Sherman, TX

``Monday Aug 17 19:30 eastern on 7490 WBCQ. Crisp clear signal no
fading (59). Listening in on Eton E1 using the built in whip antenna.
