** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun Aug 16 at 0146 check, noting but a JBA
carrier from The ``Mighty`` KBC, 125 kW via GERMANY, as propagation is very
degraded: nothing much but US and Cuban signals on 7 and higher bands. WWV
reported before and after this:
``Solar-terrestrial indices for 15 August

Solar flux 89 and estimated planetary A-index 44.
The estimated
planetary K-index at 0000 UTC on 16 August was 5.

** NORTH AMERICA. 6945-USB, Aug 16 at 0136, pirate music, 0140 DJ
refers to HF Underground to post your feelings about this. Says he`s running a
whole new computer after the last one blew up. Exaggerated accent, and finally
Radio Free What-Ever ID before back to music, at S9+20 level. No RTTY QRM above
or below at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH
AMERICA. 6962-AM, Aug 16 at 0137, pirate music on much weaker S5 signal than
RFWE on 6945-U. 0144 announcement but too much noise level; 0145 Beatles` ``I
Wanna Hold Your Hand`` for which I can`t help but imagine an even more adult
desire. Six others further east of here also heard this without IDing it:

** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, Aug 15 at 1928 UT,
KAMG-LP local in Enid is always in mono Spanish, now frenzied ME-sounding music
with lots of drumming, but lyrix include ``tu gloria, ascienda``, so it`s just
Christian, evidently with Moorish influence. I think it`s a satellator, plugged
into some non-local service, altho like so many LPFMs it initiated at a local
church (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9565, Aug 16
at 1305, open carrier, tone test and off, typical morning behaviour of
Greenville`s day-shift check for usage later in the day, i.e. Radio Martí from
2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930 & 9475, Sat Aug 15 at 1921, notice that WTWW-2
and WTWW-1 are both in Ted Randall ham shows --- different ones, or at least way
out of synch. Also one of those, not sure which, was already non-SFAW for ham
show *before 1800. 9475 used to break away from SFAW Sats starting at 1800.
Daytime frequency of #2, 9930 is seldom on the air now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
