Of the three KiwiSDRs online in Argentina, one is getting it best, S5/S6. 1906 still on with historical talk, background music, still 1947. Not checked again until 2130 when it`s off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRALIA. 9323 USB, Aug 28 at 0648, some kind of net here just far enough from 9330 WBCQ/WLCR for that not to be a problem. NCS seems to be called ``2199``, S3/S4 stronger than various checkins; accent sounds Oz. ``What`s your destination?``,``Member 33385[?]``. Place mentioned sounds like Tuwumba: aha, there is a Toowoomba in Queensland! ``Good afternoon`` at 0654* and apparently closed. This reminds me of some Outback caravan/travel club in Australia made up of citizens, not military or official at all. Aha2, searching UDXF on 9323 gets these: https://groups.io/g/UDXF/topic/87988270#102480 i.e. 10 frequencies, including #: ``6 9323 kHz Bases - Casino and Kununurra``, i.e.: Austravel Safety Net, VMD750, promoting HF radio contactness, https://www.austravelsafetynet.org.au/ Much more info here including frequency lists: https://www.austravelsafetynet.org.au/node/2 There is another unrelated one with different frequencies, VKS-737 Radio Network, Serving Remote Travellers since 1993: https://vks737.radio/frequencies/ I am unaware of anything similar in North America where we are not so sparse and remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRALIA. 9323 USB, Aug 29 at 0647, JBA talk, no doubt the Austravel Safety Net, VMD750 as discovered much better last night.

I remember that long ago, 11775 was a R. Martí frequency. Yes! it`s listed in 2005 WRTH on page 605. The Cuban jammers also have a very long ``memory`` still/again jamming frequencies abandoned ages ago by RM. We also remember that 11775 was the day frequency of Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla carrying nothing but Dr Gene Scott - maybe RM did not start using it until CB vanished; or certainly coördinated not to conflict. Thus any frequency ever used by opposition to Cuba is ruined forever. Currently in A23 per EiBi, the only users anywhen of 11775 are Chinese program jamming and Sound of Hope. Aoki shows also CNR6 and CRI at times --- and incredibly! STILL Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla at 10-22, as a G=Great Britain entry!! And also long-gone 6090 the other 12 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2205) ** CUBA. 11760, Aug 25 at 0637, RHC Spanish S9+20 with squeal, tonight`s extra-expanded frequency.

David Crawford replies early UT Aug 30 to previous reports: ``The movies are Cubavisión TV audio, aka TeleCV, a domestic channel. Not to be confused with Cubavisión Internacional, aka CVI, which is a separate channel. There have been lots of recent, totally random CV audio relays in place of RHC SPN and also in place of Rebelde on 5025. There are also some unlisted, irregular, evening Rebelde FM relays on RHC SPN freqs -- 11950 2200+ Z from Bauta is a good freq and time to check. RHC SPN showed up on unlisted, strong 9600 from Bauta at 0200 Z on 26 AUG, gone at 0305 Z recheck, not heard since. RHC was completely off the air along with 5025 this local morning, 1300+ 29 AUG Z, undoubtedly for the passage of tropical cyclone Idalia. It's all back as of 0030 30 AUG Z. One further data point, 5025 is NOT back tonight yet as of 0145 Z, Quillabamba is there weakly instead w/ SPN preacher. David E.

Would be nice if not so distorted. 2153, ``Ladies and Gentlemen ... peace be upon you.`` Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.994, Aug 28 at 2120, R. Cairo is S9+20/40 into UTwente, distorted and JBM in English with humwhine, perceptible with all volumes at max, something about the 1953? revolution. Somewhat comprehensible by concentrating, but we shouldn`t have to put up with all these obstacles.

BTW, he told someone that he was originally on FM in Chandler [Arizona] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6200 AM, Aug 28 at 0638, Japanese song at S7, presumed pirate Hikari FM, signal improved.

No, soon ad in English for United Internet in SW Kansas, Liberal ad, mentions 103.9? No KSpanish listed there: must have been ``93.9`` which bears KZRD Dodge City, 100 kW ``La Mexicana`` per WTFDA FM DB. And 101.5 is: KSMM, 100 kW ``La Mexicana`` in Liberal, allegedly relay of: KMML 92.9 but 101.5 still Remarked as: ``Silent 4/28/22; xmtr failure``. ! But there is no 92.9 called KMML! The only 92.9 KS is KMXN, 42 kW in Osage City, not ``MeXicaN`` as it may have been previously, but Country, ``The Bull``! KMML calls instead apply to 102.1, 40 kW ``La Mexicana`` in Cimarrón KS. What a mess!! I logged and pointed out this anomaly several weeks ago, but WTFDA still has not cleared it up. Liberal is 281 km = 173 stmi away, so really fringe. Cimarrón is strategically located about halfway between the Cities Dodge and Garden. Not to be confused with the Cimarrón in NM; I don`t find a C-town in OK but names the westernmost county at the end of Nomansland. Liberal is right on the OK Panhandle border, but radio-locator shows 101.5 site is definitely in KS, ENE of Liberal. But what about KOCD? As I drive down the road a bit, lose Liberal and there`s the dead air in $tereo dominant from Okeene, as it has been since at least August 9. Cursory chex on Aug 26 & 27 had not heard it so wondered if off completely (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 104.7, Aug 25 at 0455 UT, dead air in $tereo, strong solid signal as if local. Only anomaly as I rushed out at 0450 to check for sporadic E, as Randy Zerr in Nevada had just reported Enid with an MUF of 90 MHz, on DXMAPS. Abruptly cuts on modulation at 0500 as KQSN Ponca City and into `Granger Smith After Midnight` a nationally syndicated show. KQSN is normally the primary fringe signal on 104.7 but area tropo is up. Something bit me on ankle on way to car (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SAIPAN. 11675, Aug 27 at 1500, ID in English as Radio Free Asia, and into Chinese.

I heard before about Turkish/Syrian relations. 2256 oh2, IS still on air interspersed with German IDs, and 2300 opening German with distortion. I let it run in background until I notice at 2333 that it`s off, maybe slightly earlier. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 28 at 2225, VOT English is S9+10/20 direct like SPAIN, q.v., but with more choppy fading, during music; 2227 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` about anemia, which foods are good to lessen it: citrus, beans, sunflower seeds, beet root, etc. Recheck in time to hear closing IS for a bit until 2255.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.010+, Aug 29 at *2200 carrier on just in time for timesignal, usual jumbled and incomplete sked at s/on. 2202 headlines by better speakerine, and details.

After own introduxion, at 0002, #322 starts from April 1986. Back then I was not organizing material in alfabetical order by country, which made for a more interesting ``flow``, but a/b became necessary to expedite produxion of thousands of episodes. Also more non-gh-voice clips and airchex than I manage these days. And my voice sounded about 37 years younger than it does now. I took much more detailed notes than I am giving here, for my records, and in order to qualify for a special QSL. 0131 starts next episode #342 which must have been September 1986. One feature was a promotional recording from NDXE, terrific new SW station being set up in Opelika, Alabama - at that time we didn`t know that nothing would ever come of it, a scam? The last bit of this ep had to be cut for time, just `YROT` theme again without any formal outro. Tnx much to Terry Colgan for doing this and to Mick Delmage for supplying these off-air recordings from WRNO. The second one had some QRM and bandwidth switching at the outset. About NDXE, ``In Dixie``, Mark Bailey replied on the WOR iog: ``Thanks for sharing these! I only caught the last 2/3 of 342. I thought it was interesting to again hear a pre-recorded promo about NDXE. I vaguely remembered about that from back in the day, and had certainly long since forgotten about it. Hearing it again got me curious and I did some Google searching. Turns out NDXE's main proponent, H. Dickson Norman, passed away in 2018 https://www.auburnvillager.com/obituaries/harry-dickson-norman-jr/article_dad06666-ddec-11e8-8c3f-47c3c4075b97.html but as recently as 2015 had a Twitter feed, and was STILL claiming that NDXE would be on shortwave "soon" https://twitter.com/ndxeradio?lang=en There are many who think Norman was nothing more than a con man. I dunno, though. Either way, it remains an odd ordeal to me. In reading his obituary, looks like he still made some sort of a career in the radio broadcasting business`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, 2023, WOR) ** U S A. 5935, Aug 30 at 0632, WWCR-2 in S9+30 of dead air except for blips of mod trying to break thru about once per second, then nothing at all; during the so-called `University Network` of deceased Gene Scott and heiress Pastor Melissa Scott.

Vanuatu continues to provide a good signal every night, but this time it`s wobbly as if beat from another station on slightly different frequency; but I decide it`s due to unstable ionosphere, as WRMI 7780 is similarly heard, but not 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.09, Aug 27 at 0617, JBA carrier. Wonder if another pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.325, Aug 28 at 0623, gospel huxter talk in English at S7, improved from last night`s JBA carrier when it was on about 7300.09; fluxuates, a few minutes earlier more like 7300.313. I`m back on it before 0700 for possible ID but sermon now S9 continues past 0702, and now about 7300.444V. Far-Christian buzzwords give it away, but whence? Spaceline Bulgaria is very fond of ``even`` ---00 frequencies and of course propagates TOMBS, registered available in fact per HFCC with unknown client on 7300 at 0200-0600, 100 kW at 110 degrees: but never? so far off-frequency; not // 5850 WRMI TOMBS but would not be synchronized anyway. HFCC has several at other times on 7300, Beijing, Kashgar, Woofferton. No other clues in Aoki but EiBi also has Taiwan at other times, banned by China from HFCC.

Someone more awake than I might try to ID or TDOA this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7300+, Aug 29 circa 0300, I start running UTwente in USB to catch last night`s unID --- but never anything on or about 7300 by 0642 when I also start checking direct.
