** CANADA. 3330 & 7850, May 31 at 0640, revived CHU is *still*
announcing time *two hours slow* as ``4h,40m``, almost 16 hours after
turned back on. At 1450, both 7850 & 14670 RCUSB too weak to copy
direct. But at 1524 into Ottawa SDR, finally correct. As far as I
could tell, however, the minute markers stayed correct and precise, so
that`s something. Meanwhile, Richard Langley, NB, reports to the WOR
iog, May 31 at 1104:
``Just got this message from the NRC technical officer after reporting
the announced time error yesterday and asking about the off-air
reason:
"Thank you for this, don't know why the time was 2 hours off. It is
fixed now. The antennas were fine. The problem was the generator
failed for a long time so everything shut down. Then we were not
allowed access to the site until yesterday, they just opened the road
where CHU is located this morning."``
And confirmed correct hour being announced monitoring 7850 kHz here in
NB about 30 minutes ago (around 11:45 UTC). -- Richard Langley``

** CANADA. 15034 USB, May 31 at 1455, CHR Trenton Military, still
nothing but ``no report received`` from: Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg,
Edmonton, and repeated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, May 31 at 2214, RHC is S9 but JBM, barely recognizable
as scheduled French. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, May 31 at 0633, this is the only RHC English
frequency remaining, S7/S9 but barely modulated and
unusable; still below some hum but no buzz. Something`s always wrong
at RHC. And it`s even weaker than 1-kW 6070 CFRX at S9+10 and amply
modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. From June NZ DX Times: ``1640 KZLS Enid OK ident as “1640
and 1390, the New CTB Fox Sports.” “CTB” refers to
‘Chisholm Trail Broadcasting Company. (Matt Todd-OK via NRC)``
Ha, I avoid my locals so much that this was news to me. Indeed, KCRC
1390 // 1640 May 31 at 0430 during stupid BB game. 11:30 pm local,
multi-inning, or western timezone? 1640 is running about 2 seconds
behind 1390. Why bother such duplication? Well, 1640 gets into OKC day
and night, not 1390. Inside Enid, 1390 is stronger.
A few weeks ago, the far-right ``Eagle`` talk format on 1640 KZLS
replaced Bob music or whatever it was on co-owned 96.9, and they were
running //. 96.9 KQOB ID only as ``The New Eagle, 96.9``, no mention
of 1640, May 31 at 0430 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, May 30 at 2200, token English from REE previewed as
something from Beirut, and author about power, smax of rerun, so I
listen only to the initial news (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, May 31 at 0500-0506, YP1 via WRMI with

WOR)

** U S A. 15770, May 31 at 1947 late tune in to WRMI, world music fill
already playing instead of VOA `Flashpoint: Ukraine`. Did it at least
start airing today? Also chopped short yesterday and May 24, at least
as I have not tried every day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1130 kHz, May 30 at 2220 UT, KLEY Wellington KS still
providing zero modulation. Had been dead air May 13-16 after a spell
of sounds, but not rechecked lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5970, May 31 at 0632, DRM-like noise again and now
covering 5965-5975 tho weakly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
