** CANADA [non]. 7488.871, July 2 at 0200, ``Canada D`Eh`` special by Uncle Bill and Fred Waterer on WBCQ, a fun show of comedy and tunes; I listen first on the `7490` webcast but it craps out at 0217 so I hasten to Area 51 webcast, but it`s some other music! The special was supposed to be on both 7490 & 6160. Then I bring up the Maryland SDR to find that 6160 is not even on the air, but it`s getting 7490. A few minutes later I can go back to the 7490 webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, July 1 at 0546, RHC in Spanish instead of English and no humbuzz! So that`s what it takes. What else? 6000 & 6165 are good in English; 6100 is off; and 5040 is also in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11462, Thu July 1 at 0550, S9/+10 of open carrier. Looks like I just missed a spy transmission, per EiBi at 0454-0550 on days 246 = TueThuSat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13705, July 1 at 1422, no VOA beepery today, unlike the last
biday before 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2092 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu July 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+10 off the back into Maryland SDR but with some storm crashes; and a bit of reverb on the modulation, an effect not usually heard on WOR and certainly not originally.

First broadcasts confirmed UT Friday July 2 at 0130 on WRMIs direct: 7780 S9/+10 and 5850 S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330, various chex June 30, July 1 at 1420 & 1707 and early UT July 2 at 0128 find no signals from WBCQ SuperStation. Wonder what`s wrong now? Meanwhile, Benn Kobb has unearthed some buried but public documents from the FCC website about the delay in approving WBCQ purchase of WHRI; Allan`s sister Barbara objects, saying he is ``fronting`` for that Egyptian billionaire behind World`s Last Chance Radio, who of course could not own US radio stations outright. His name is redacted but obviously Galal P. Doss (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15745-USB, July 1 at 1608, rough tone transmission with multiple carrier peaks, a different sound than usual from the lower half of the WINB hybrid DRM on ``15750``. Maybe that means it is just idling rather than crypto stocktrading info. Off by 1706 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 11835, July 1 at 0611, no signal from R Vanuatu, nor was any detectable a few minutes before 0559 on 7260. Ron Howard agrees:
``Radio Vanuatu. Recently had been silent for about three days, then back on for a few days, but checking July 1, from 0530+ UT, till past 0845, on all the normal RV frequencies, found them clearly off the air today. Cuba (5040) went off at 0659*. RV certainly has been erratic recently, with technical difficulties? Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
