DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated July 9 https://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html ** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, July 6 at 1522, no signal direct from Ifrikya FM - but propagation is degraded: however, 17855 Spain and 17815 Turkey are JBA. And even unto UTwente at 1615, nothing on 17600. But by 1738 recheck of UTwente, it`s on with HOA music, 17599.998, S8/9+5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BOTSWANA. 15580, July 5 at 0640, VOA news in English about the presidential campaign, striving to be objective, S8/9+5 the SSOB, with hardly any other 19mb signals except 15770 WRMI. Note: this relay is rumored to be among those heading for major downsizing if not total closure. Current sked per EiBi is 0500-0700, 1430-1630(1730 SaSu), 1730-2200. Tho aimed at E Africa, it`s our best chance to hear VOA English much of these times. If we stop hearing it, that could be a clue; if we still hear 15580, it still could have been transferred to different relay without notice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BOTSWANA. 15579.990+, Sat July 6 at 1550, `Music Time in Africa` on VOA, the 1505 airing, S9+10/20 into UTwente. One semihour earlier, NO signal direct, not even JBA carrier. Propagation really degraded; presumably still operating this site, but VOA long ago dispensed with any on-air specific site IDs. Casual listener would think they all come from ``Washington, DC``. Note the offset of this transmitter now, in case that change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHAD [non]. 15505, July 7 at 0606, talk in unID language, at S8/S9 direct the SSOB, more than 15770 WRMI S6/S8. EiBi shows R. Ndarason International via Woofferton UK in Kanuri language (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, July 4 at 0640, R. Rebelde is not off the air and not unmodulated. Something`s not wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, July 5 at 0631, the Dead Air Service of Radio Rebelde achieves S9+20/40; SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, July 7 at 0115, RHC English at S9+30/40, news about Gaza while normal English frequency 6000 is S9+20 of dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11950, July 10 at 0005, RHC English, VG S9+10 and even VG modulation into Peoria IL SDR. NO other RHCs found on 15, 11, 9 or 6 MHz bands except 9650 much weaker S4/S7 in Spanish. The other side: ``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW July 9, 2024 VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN The regime is more dedicated to punishing dissidents than protecting Cuba’s women and girls --- Several cases of femicide and sexual abuse reveal a pattern of failing to protect victims, in stark contrast to the system's expeditious retaliation against Cubans who criticize the regime.

This hour is via Kashi-Saiba, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 9670.00, July 8 at 0146, S9+10/20 of rock music, presumably Channel 292 testing direxional antenna, much better than usual direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORFOLK ISLAND. 28460 USB, July 10 at 2209, first phone station I find on 10m is VK9DX, Nick, calling QRZ, CQ, at S9 making quick contacts with US stations, none audible here, way too close for long F2 skip. Hard to copy their calls but I think includiing KQ4ROO and at 2214, N5XZ. Nothing mentioned about possibly resuming his broadcasts on 5045; so long since the last one that not shown in Aoki or EiBi, just the other Oz, Bay Islands Radio, Queensland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 -6 Hz AM = 6959.994, UT Sat July 6 at 0135, JBA pirate music direct, bet it`s Ball Smacker Radio on extremely reliable Friday evening sked, only signal on band. At 0138 much better S6/S8 into NH SDR when measured; 0155 email as ballsmacker@protonmail.com - I think, and music continues. Other reports, earlier: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,131157.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, July 8 at 0148, S9+20 of rock music, but no match for noise level. Several reports here of Outhouse Radio in USB after 0158, so maybe something else: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,131304.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6949.8 AM, July 8 at 0150, S9+10 of music vs noise level. These report Captain Morgan SW on 6949.7: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,131302.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27224.80 & 27184.49, July 4 at 0202, Enid CB pirate AM carriers are on again, S9+5, no modulation audible of 105.5 translator relay; was not on earlier in the day on July 3. Another check July 4 at 1501: open carriers, possibly a trace of modulation, on 27224.85 and 27184.54. Seemed steady but by 1513, remeasured at 27224.76 and 27184.46. Yet another check at 1810: 27224.81 and 27184.50 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Yet again the open carriers from Enid CB pirate, July 5 at 2200: 27184.525 and 27224.85 at S9+10. Why not relay some useful SWBC stations? If only I knew how to contact the op (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.52 at S7 and 27224.83 at S9, July 6 at 1518, open carriers from the Enid CB pirate relaying nothing (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.55 at S9+10 & 27224.875 approx., at S9, July 7 at 0103, open AM carriers from the Enid CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.565 & 27224.881 approx., July 8 at 0138, S9 open carriers of the Enid CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27224.89 AM and 27184.585 AM, July 9 at 2159 and 2218 when measured, Enid CB pirate again relaying 105.5 FM K-Love translator with gospel music, the lower one slightly weaker and with lots of skip CCI hets (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Signs of Es FM DX about on DXMAP, so out to the car to check, July 7 at 1645 UT: the only unusual is $ Mexmx weakly on 96.5, soon 1646 non-ID as ``Clásicos de ayer ... Éxitos 96.5``, and more of same at 1703; and 1708 maybe also with ``L-G``? And at 1722 f/in again. That`s the slogan of WOEX Orlando, which I have definitely heard several times along with other FL stations. BUT: Searching slogan and 96.5 in WTFDA FMDB gets WOEX and one other hit: K243BJ, relaying KRXO 107.7 HD{3} OKC, 250-watt translator! Judging from lack of any other Es, and boosted OKC signals elsewhere, afraid that`s what I`m getting, not heard before. 96.5 has been with CCI from KRAV, Mix 96 Tulsa as to be expected, and at 1648, gospel huxter in English, 1656 outro as ``Hour of Power``, ``The Rock``, Christian music, paragon.com = KECO Elk City OK; the two fringe OKies. 97.3, July 7 at 1657 UT, outro for service from St. Joseph`s Catholic Church, in Norman, good solid $ signal, so it`s KKNG-FM, only 1/1 kW, 244 m, Blanchard OK, a station of the OKC Catholix; with tropo boost, normally inaudible. 91.5, July 7 at 1647 UT, NO signal from KSNS, 0/96 kW, Medicine Lodge KS, which is normally quite good just across the OK border, must be off. However at 1714 I get a weak and fadey country gospel signal, presumably something else, perhaps 100/100 kW KCBK Frederick OK. {back on next day, see USA below} 100.9, July 7 at 1708, KGWA 960 Enid translator still in mono, but gospel/rock music on a talk-format station; aberration with Sunday service running past noon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 100.3, July 10 at 0201 UT, hunting for Es again without results, but very brief fade up and out with ID, ``KWEY AM Weatherford``. That`s a translator of the 1590 station which is tough here due to direxional pattern, more likely to hear KVGB Great Bend KS: K262CW relays:KWEY-1590 100.3 WEATHERFORD OK 0.25 kW 106.0 m 35-33-03 98-43-57 ---- KWEYAM.COM COYOTE CLASSIC COUNTRY 122 km/76 stmi. Shortly f/in with Dos Equis ad in English, and ``copyright 2024``, which you never hear on any other commercial (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 106.1, July 8 at 2024 UT, futile bandscan for Es encounters ``106-1, The Twister, #1 for new country``, i.e. KTGX Owasso = Tulsa mkt; unknown whether sibling to 101.9 KTST OKC. Can`t imagine why stations think it`s cool to name themselves for an extremely destructive force of nature. WTFDA FMDB shows a few others: in MI, NE, NE, KS, TX, every one of them Country (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Area tropo is up on APRS map, from Kansas to OKC, July 10 at 1513 UT, allowing decodes from normally invisible OKCs: RF 14, 48-3, KOCY with Estrella TV bug, JBV in lower right, Spanish; RF 20, 42-1, KBZC-LD with tennis; RF 34, 33-1, KWRW-LD. Rabbitears.info shows KBZC-LD, 7 kW ERP, with 7 channels, two of them blank, starting with 42-1 Visión Latina. KWRW-LD, 15 kW ERP, with 7 channels, starting with Heartland on 33-1. And KOCY-LD, 15 kW ERP, only as 48-3. We used to be able to see it a lot more when it was really on analog 48. At first NO signal on RF 17, then local K17JN-D, mis-ID as ``K17JI-D`` recovers from DX QRM with 3ABN panoply. Also BAD signals on RF: 12, 21, 22, 28, 31, 35, 36 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** RUSSIA [and non]. FBI agent "Carrie" -- Havana Syndrome investigator says bar for proof was set impossibly high. Efforts continue to investigate brain injuries suffered by U.S. officials. This is the fourth 60 Minutes Havana Syndrome report and, for the first time, there's evidence of who might be responsible. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-culprit-investigation-new-evidence-60-minutes-transcript-2024-07-07/ {also 27-minute audiovideo; this is about microwave or acoustic energy} 60 Minutes Overtime --- Russian role in attack on American officials? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-in-vietnam-possible-russian-role-in-attack-on-americans-new-evidence-60-minutes/ (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE [and non]. Checking whether USAGM relay has been closed down, July 8 at 1724, the current frequencies in HFCC, into Canary SDR: NO signal on 15660 Amharic, nor 5940 English; but 15460 with SNA = Shona is on and VG. After 1730, 12070 is also on in Oromo, but 15660 is not. At 1820, no 17655 with Portuguese, but 15460 & 6045 in Shona are on. After 1830, 6180 is on in French. At 1840, 15460 and much weaker 6045 are in English, not Shona. At 1850, MW 1530 is on in French, past 1900; but there is also mostly musical CCI with slow SAH, which per MWlist has to be either Madeira or Romania. At 1930 both 6045 and 9470 are on VG in Kinyarwanda. At 2037, nothing on 4960, 9490; JBA algo else? on 9470. At 2030, 9470 is supposed to go from VOA French to Hausa and from Botswana to STP. At 2128 nothing on 11900, but *2129 JBA carrier, which would be VOA via Vatican relay in Bambara. So: some scheduled STP frequencies are on, others not, but may have been wooden/alternatives in the first place. Of course, we cannot be sure all listed SAO frequencies are really still from there, since there are no site IDs; and I`m not having any luck getting reliable TDOA hits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday July 5 at 2200, token English from SNR; preview at 2201.5 to be about LGBTQ+ rights in Spain; news leads with UKQOGBANI elexion, later about Pamplona`s Running of the Bulls coming up. Then report from Lebanon correspondent, Spanish embassy involved in sponsoring something about feminine dialogs on gender equality in a drama. 2213 interview about a Trans-equality law of 3/23, attempts now to partially revoke it. Other 3 frequencies on in descending strength direct: 17715, 15520, 15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 8 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG S9+40/50 direct, others not checked. Preview feature to be about Festival de San Fermín which started on Saturday, a.k.a. Running of the Bulls in Pamplona - which I consider to be sheer madness/stupidity/machismo. 2201.5 news leads with French elexions impasse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed July 10, token English from SNR, VG direct and well audible also on 15520, 17715, 15390; preview to be about homes for refugees. 2201 news leads with Spain in Euro24 finals vs France, apparently some silly ballgames; then quick clip of Pres. Biden at NATO summit. 2217 discussing LGBTQ asylum seekers from persecution of their gender identity (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TINIAN. Checking out USAGM site as A24 scheduled in HFCC, https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbyfmo.php?seas=A24&fmor=AGM whether it`s been closed? July 10 into Thailand SDR: 0027, 15200 is on in Lao. *0030 and 0115, 15700 in Myanmarianese. 0116, 17670 JBA carrier, Bod/Tibetan scheduled. 0300, 11570 sked in Cmn, no signal. Others might check out rest of original schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, July 5 at 2158, no signal yet direct, but on by 2200 just in time for sign-on, but unlistenable equal to noise level on nearby open frequency. Into UTwente at 2228 when measured, VG S9+45, `Weekly Analysis` by a prof accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza war. 2234 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2236 music. 2240 `That`s Why`, Ms Badax on why Uranus and Neptune are called gas giants. 2245 TRTVOTWOrld.com promo, music. 2252 s/off ignoring SW, different web-ref spelt, www.trtdinle.com - 2253 IS to 2258* As for the dinle link, it seems all in Turkish, but if you click on Radyo to https://www.trtdinle.com/radyolar you eventually get to Play linx for TRT VOT West, TRT VOT East, and TRT VOT World. They appear to play but nothing heard. The other one leads to a menu of languages, some of them duplicative, or dialects? as previously discussed. {dinle means listen} (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sat July 6 at 2210, VOT English not off the air, S9+40/45 into UTwente, repeat commentary about terrorist PKK elexions in Syria delayed from June to August. 2215 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2217 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` repeat about some dish made with goat or lamb meat: I still can`t copy the name of it, nor the locality marked about it. 2220 nothing but song after song, a nice concert, until 2253 s/off as if on 17620 at 1230, something`s always awry at Ankara; and IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs to 2256.6* (Glenn Hauser, OK,  WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.019, Sunday July 7 at 2159, VOT IS and ID, S9+40/45 into UTwente; 2200 s/on as if the 1230 broadcast, news. 2208 earliest start ever for `Letterbox`. Acknowledging reports from: Jayanta Chakroborty, New Delhi; Mohammed ---, Pakistan; John Jurasek, central Florida who does not want a QSL, just to let them know he listens, but host wants his postal address anyway to QSL - he is the VORW guy, of course, not mentioned. West Bengal, India; another from W Bengal; another another; Pak guy again; Belarus; Palermo, Italy; Belgium explains what QSL means; Jayanta C. again. 2223 Goodbye, already and song before 2226 playing the L`Box outro/intro. Then nothing but more songs until 2253 s/off as if the 1230 emanation, 6 notes of IS before 2354* chopoff, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785v, July 8 at 2158 direct, zero signal from VOT, while 11800 Romania is quite audible. 2226 check via UTwente, still zero 11785. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Should have checked possible alternate 9875 earlier but by 2255 `Jesus Saves` IS into UTwente, i.e. FEBC Manila, and no KCBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, July 9 at 2200, JBA carrier direct, presumably VOT, but no signal at 2220 despite Romania OK on 11800. Then check of UTwente: nothing there either nor on 9875. Second day in a row absent, unusual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9870.008, July 10 at 0047, VOT with music, VG S9+30 into UTwente; 0049 LusoPort ID, music. 0052 s/off gives time of broadcast as 22h in Turkey, 20h in Portugal, and ??h in Brasil, one of three timezones? So they think it`s at 19 UT. Heavily accented very rapid announcement of many satellite frequencies, nothing about SW at this or any other time. Probably like this: https://www.trt.net.tr/portuguese/content/Frequencias where I don`t find anything about TIMES. Anyhow, I`m confirming that ops are ``normal`` now, despite absence of English at 22-23 on 11785. 0054 IS; 0056 restart IS with Spanish IDs and 0100 timesignal and Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, July 10 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air, having just come on, S9+10/20 direct and equal to or somewhat stronger than neighbors 11780 Brasil, 11800 Romania, unusual. At 2236 into UTwente when measured, S9+50/55, about a wrestling festival? until 2239 outro `Sports Panorama`, 2240 songs, 2250 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2252 s/off ignoring SW; 2253.6 IS, 2256 restart IS with German IDs until chop at 2258.5*.

It seems that wtww.us website still exists under control of Ted Randall, but with outdated info and leading to that site, claiming a ``new schedule`` of 01-04 on 5050, 04-06 on 9455 -- NOT! The WRMI skedgrid does show those two blox for Legends, but in addition: 21-22 Tue-Fri 9395, and 00-01 Mon 9455. AFAIK, the real WTWW does not have a website or streaming.

Note how closely the offsets-minus match. Suspect their frequency-display is miscalibrated and may well believe they are on .000! I keep listening to 5129.931: at 2359 one-minute-warning tone to FKB, so he quickly wraps up to an amen. Pause, and Allan on live, then plays `WTO` theme, interjecting ``76`` at the music-pause-point. 4th of July was yesterday so this is another live one. Brings up Angela on phone. 0005 she has to explain Canada Day. But I`m more interested in Pres. Biden`s interview on ABC TV. Back to BCQ at 0032 to find that 3265.163 is also on, S7/9+10.
