** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, May 4 at 1525, VOMK Maldives with usual YL
in Dhivehi, secret site S9 +5/20 into Coimbatore SDR; 1529 outro in
English finishes just in time for *1530 Vatican in Arabic on weaker
signal but no perceptible break (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, May 4 at 2020, REE to N America is back on; did not
check May 3 but was AWOL April 30-May 1-2. Wild wacko enthusiasm must
be about a stupid ballgame. 2157, sounds like game running really
late, to pre-empt token English? Nope, 2200 cut to timesignal and open
English. News concludes with COVID stats: over 104,000 dead so far in
Spain. 2209 feature is talk by Spanish-Mexican professor at Oxford
about her book ``Privacy is Power``, now published in English and
Spanish. That`s ``PRIH`` with a short I, tho her accent is otherwise
sorta American if not TA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

announcement about MARS cross-band operations May 14 for Armed Forces

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2136 monitoring: zzz thru Wed 1000
on Unique Radio 5035 USB, and 1030 on WRMI 5850; anyone hear them?
Confirmed Wednesday May 4 at 2118 the 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490.1v, VP in
storm noise level, about S3 on indoor antenna between crashes. Finally
heard a couple words I could identify as part of this correct edition.
Checked an hour earlier when should have been on with another program,
nothing at all detected; typical summer service from a station which
stix itself on too-low frequencies. Local lightning discouraged me
from checking a remote further east. Next:
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW

Thanks this week for financial support from Mike Lewis, Alexander
City, Alabama who sent a generous check to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684,
Enid OK 73702, and testifies:
``I have been an on-and-off World of Radio listener since the late
1970’s ... I regret that I have utterly neglected the most valuable
and thankfully still enduring radio resource, World of Radio! ...
Fortunately, World of Radio is still with us. I am finally doing the
right thing and offering a contribution, and plan to do more in the
future.``
Also, last week`s thankee, Joe Caberlin, Ontario, would always also
like to be known as VE1EJ; originally from Nova Scotia.
