** CUBA. 13605, May 29 at 0635, add another frequency to the pointless
overjamming, as OCB of course only uses this in daytime. Sounds like
mixture of at least two sites at different pulse rates (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000 & 6060 & 6100 & 6165, May 29 at 0702, all four RHCs are
off, so Esperantists are out of luck for first weekly broadcast on
Sundays at 0700, now imaginary. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
However, I do hear its sad theme starting about 1501 on 11760 and
presumably secret 15140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Sunday May 29 at 0630, RNZP is S9+10/20, SSOB
as usual, not in English but some voices in language, probably Maori,
occasionally lapsing into English terms; 0632 mentions Liam Neeson.
0633 outro and into English music request show of leftover items, from
last night? This is contrary to the schedules online:
RNZP says Sundays at noon-8 pm [= 0000-0800 UT], it`s relaying RNZ
National, so we have to look that up, this date:
``6:06 PM. Māpuna with Julian Wilcox --- Julian talks to Māori
throughout Aotearoa, from sports legends, to business leaders, to
artists and community advocates. (rpt)`` and next show not until:
``6:50 PM``. And, ``The Sunday Night Retro Show`` not until 0806 UT.
BTW, `Mediawatch` starting at 1015 UT, later than previously listed in
our DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS guide. Yet the page of Mediawatch itself
claims it be Sundays 10:12 pm, as well as 9:05 am [= 2105 UT
Saturdays]. BTW2, in case you haven`t heard, funds have been allocated
for RNZP to get a new SW transmitter, which should allow it to run two
frequencies 24/7, one of them DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. LW/MW beacon check May 29 at 1449: 255 SW
Stillwater is JBA; 341 EI Enid can`t confirm vs elevated noise level;
350 RG OKC, still off. 407 HRU Herington KS JBA. 515 PN Ponca City as
usual strongest of all (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, May 29 at 1925, still no signal into UTwente
from R. Svoboda secret relay, via Armenia? Awaiting word from the
crowdfunders whether this be terminated officially. Not heard since
May 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, May 29 at 1438, REE on early weekends, but only S8/S9
to N America and just barely modulated. 15520 to ME also seems JBM at
S4/S5. 11940 for S America JBA carrier. K index = 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2140 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 29 ending right at 1400 on WMRI Europe, via Channel 292, GERMANY,
9670, S6/S8 into NW Ireland SDR, so started at 1331; 1400 quick ID
``WMRI Europe`` and into Russian - or Ukrainian? Next:

** U S A. Hepburn tropo map shows level-5 enhancement reaching SE OK,
not to here, but I bandscan anyway, finding numerous BAD signals on
open channels, May 29 after 1500 UT: 8, 12, 14, 20, 21, 28, 30, 34,
35, 36. And only one is decoding way above the other signals: RF 26
with PSIP ID as KTAL-DT. That`s Texarkana ARKLATEX, site in NW corner
of LA, 6-1 with NBC pre-Indy show. The rest: 6-2 Laff, 6-3 Cozi, 6-4
HSN, all of which match:
https://rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=ktal
Distancefromto.net insists on measuring to N Carolina or S Pacific
unless I spell out LOUISIANA after Vivian, town near transmitter site,
i.e 529 km = 329 statute miles to the SE, close to my OKC-aimed
antenna. TAL originally stood for one of the TALlest towers at that
time, but could also mean Texas/Arkansas/Louisiana, never mind Okla.
My local translator on 17 has also become BAD due to DX QRM, likely
the PBS in Shreveport, KLTS-TV ``24`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 95.1, May 29 circa 1840 UT, dead carrier again into
caradio for considerable distance in north side of Enid on way to
cemetery; unseems a mobile RF feeder, nor the two FM stations vying
for control of channel 236, in Wichita and Shawnee; once it weakens,
their combat starts to appear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 1951 UT May 29
