** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA WRMI 9455
** CHINA [non]. 9790, July 26 at 0430, CRI Cantonese S9+40/45 but JBM
with squeal. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, July 26 at 0040, RHC dead air in English? S7/S9 direct.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5990, July 26 at 0040, Spanish on CRI relay undermodulated
S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, July 26 at 0424, JBA carrier, presumed RHC per
previous track record, daytime frequency at night, as nothing else is
scheduled. 15230 also still on, JBA, nominally to 0500 tho China also
sked. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also
CHINA [non]
** CUBA. 11850, July 26 at 0425, RHC Spanish JBM, always with
parasitic JBA spur carriers on 11840, and QRMing jamming against
nothing on 11860. 11850 is *never* heard with decent modulation, yet
the incompetents keep running it thus. Aoki & EiBi both say 21-05 via
Quivicán but miss the spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
26 de julio! Time for my annual tribute to The Revolution with a
modified motto: ``Patria o suerte, ¡pensaremos!``, or ``Patria o
suerte, ¡huiremos!`` Once again I invite photographic evidence of
either being scrawled upon any public surface in Cuba, preferably
identified (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, July 26 at 1938 UT, KIMY Watonga has finally
resumed modulation after ~2 days of dead air (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
** ROMANIA. 11800, July 26 at 2203, RRI English, VG modulation and
signal S9+45 into UTwente. News about security situation along Black
Sea due to Russia`s war. 2206 sports about a swimmer. 2207 about
severe weather in July, heat alerts up to 42C in shade, hi winds to 90
kph, rain measured in litres per square meter. I wonder what would be
the conversion factor to our ``inches``. 2211 end of newscast, Sports
Club, on 89th birthday of Leon Rachman?, Olympic champion in 1956,
went from wrestling to wrowing. 2214, `Hit of the Day`, a nice song
``Inseparable``. 2217 ID and `Society Today`, 62% have never stepped
in a Museum and only 33% go in once or twice a year. Experts are
worried about figures but not panicked. Musea should actively attract
visitors rather than passively wait for them to show up. 2224 music
break, song called ``Time``. 2227 `Visit Romania`, travel feature
about where to hike in eroded mountains. 2231 `Focus on Romania` as I
started to record for listening later, but somehow it stopped.
Apparently UTwente froze or went offline, still off when I checked by
2320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, July 26 at 2200, no-show of VOT English into
Maryland or UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; so I
take the opportunity to hear RRI simulEnglish on 11800, see ROMANIA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2200 monitoring: ``From: Richard

** U S A. 9455, July 26 at 0058, RAE multi-lingual IDs, S9+10 direct
but just barely modulated again. 0059.5 cut to canned ``Everglades``
WRMI ID with OK modulation, 0100 rejoin JBM RAE multi-lingual IDs.
Transmitter grid does show -0200 System K at 0100 going from
Japanese hour to Spanish RAE. But bright green System K sked itself
shows 9455, two hours of `Legends` at -0200, except Sundays `The
Mighty KBC`. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5130.1 approx., July 26 at 0421 direct, JBA music in HSNL,
as WBCQ 300-watt 24/7 test? continues, why? At least the juice bill on
this one would not be a problem, but hardly viable (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. Large tropo blobs have developed N and E with Enid on the
edges, so DTV bandscan, July 26 from 0455 UT. BAD signals on RF: 36,
35, 34, 31, 26, 22, 21, 17, 16, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.
RF8, decoding: KPTS also virtual 8, PBS Kansas from Wichita. Not far
but I rarely get this on my OKC-directed antenna. And it`s in solid,
so I explore all its subs: 8-2 Explore, 8-3 Create, 8-4 Kids. I`m
unfamiliar with Explore, one sub-br
