** COLOMBIA. 5910, Sept 7 at 0615, Alcaraván Radio is S9, JBA in English, a little more audible since 5920 WTWW is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Sept 7 at 0625, S4/S6 of dead air, presumed RHC where something is always wrong, but achieves SSOB status with little else audible on 25mb at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Sept 7 at 1413, S5/S6 of deadair direct with windhowl, RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [non]. 11860 & 11930 // 13570 & 13720, Sept 7 at 2201 R. Martí, Greenville B, huge signals starting silly baseball talk show, refers to ``República Independiente de Pinar del Rio``, presumably a joke, or encouraging separatism? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Sept 7 at 2159, MWV OC at S9+20/30, 2200 start instrumental, then vocal music in Arabic. Both Chinese at 21 and Arabic at 22 are 100 kW at 325 degrees, de-facto N American service beyond different CIRAFs per HFCC: must be wishful thinking as parameters are identical. Chinese 27S,28SW,37N = France,Italy,Iberia; Arabic 38,46NE,47N = Libya,Egypt,Sudan,Chad,Niger. Note HFCC style forbids spaces after commas. Now and as usual, 11610 is the SSOB except for the Martíes and as long as Brasil & Cuba be off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5990-5995-6000, Sept 7 at 0603 t/in via Azores SDR, rough noise blob S9 instead of ORTModulation, but cuts off at 0605.5* -- Rodney Johnson agrees: ``Greetings From Minnesota! Tuned in to strong "rough noise" @0551z and spot checked again at 0604z and it was still there, but it cut at 0605z. Unfortunate as conditions seem very favorable for reception currently. 73s --Rodney`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. Hi Glenn, Re: "** U S A. 1460, Sept 6 at 0630 UT, ``Estilo de Vida`` Spanish mention vs English CCI. There are too many USSS on 1460, but broad search on slogan and frequency lead to program on ESPN Deportes on KENO Las Vegas NV which is U4 10000/620 with CP for U4 10000/320 per NRC AM Log. Am not convinced. SS from Mexico would most likely be XEYC in Juárez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)": Tim Hall replies: ``You're correct, this is XEYC. "Estilo de Vida" is a program that airs at Midnight (and sometimes at 6 am) on the first and second Radio Fórmula networks. This program used to use the "I Dream of Jeannie" TV theme song by the Hugo Montenegro Orchestra, which made it much easier to identify on a crowded channel`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 780 kHz, Sept 7 at 2218 UT, KSPI is off already, not even using up its authorized 250 watts daytime-only. But there *is* a JBA carrier, WBBM this early probably as unlikely as the only closer, WJAG Norfolk NE, a 1 kW L-timer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.75, Sept 7 at 2210, Enid CB pirate steady S9 with no skip, but again failing to modulate by relaying any local FM station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15500, Sept 7 at 2158, REE N American frequency still missing, for the 6th day in a row, and 15390 for Africa for the nth month in a row.

Copied as CMP but must have been CNP, which per RNA list is 25 watts in Chappell NE; only unusual one, seldom heard but not new; last logged March 1 at 0731 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
