** OKLAHOMA. 95.1 FM, April 2 at 1900 UT, FINALLY, dead air in $ tereo
is off the air in downtown Enid; carrier was still running as of a few
days ago, more than 3 months after Xmas with music to accompany OG&E`s
`tree of lights` just north of the Garfield County courthouse. Now the
coast is clear for CP of KOKJ-LP on 95.1, altho I have not heard
anything from the guy behind it as to progress. If, that is, the other
95.1, stay gone (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500 & 15390, April 2 at 2159, again today, 50% of REE
transmitters are missing; but 17715 for S America is VG direct,
S9+10/20 but seems slightly overmodulatedistorted, better than 15520
for ME at S8/9+10. Again opens with A25 overall sked but no language
details. 2202 preview feature something about Extremadura. 2203 news
opens with EU reaxion to Drumpf tariffs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. Fixing `2354` time typo in this April 1 item; proofread!:
11785.002, next VOT English of 2200 is not off the air, not checked
until 2234 April 1, S9+5/10 into Maryland SDR, with feature voiced by
Efsun the axentuated. Considerably weaker than 11780 Brasil, S9+10/25
providing ACI, not even evitable by USB tuning. 2254 s/off as if it
were 1230 on 17620, the usual always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

choral CCI from Korea North underaudible at 2037. Not going back to
9870 as on March 30? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11784.999, April 2 at 2158, VOT IS & ID in English,
S9+10/12 direct vs S8/9 noise level, unlistenable. At 2241 into
UTwente, when measured, surprisingly not solid at all, S9/+10 with
flutter; skipping over? So trying NH SDR, showing 11785.006, S9+20/35
much better with music. 2248 break in carrier for a few sex. 2253
s/off as if it`s 1230 on 17620, awry at Ankara, IS to 2255.5* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
