** CHINA [and non]. 15800, May 30 at 1335, CNR1 talk jammer is JBA along with a second carrier beating, // 11785. Aoki/NDXC shows this is a jammed Sound of Hope frequency. Then I hunt for others WOOB.
14920, May 30 at 1339, CNR1 is JBA, another SOH* as listed 13150, May 30 at 1340, JBA carrier, but not a listed SOH* frequency between 13130 and 13160. Aha, that would be local mix KCRC 1390 + RHC 11760. 12100, May 30 at 1343, CNR1 JBA: but no jammee or jammer listed 11150, May 30 at 1345, JBA carrier, SOH frequency listed by EiBi but not Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15369.24, May 29 at 2030, again today RHC way off-frequency, this time with Arabic audible, VP S4-S6.

No significant tornadoes in Moore AFAIK this time. In WTFDA Database, I see that KMSI is 50 kW Vertical polarization only, while KWOU is 23.5 kW H&V and somewhat further. There are three Oasis Network gospel-huxters in OK on 88.1, KMSI, KDIM 100/100 kW Coweta and a translator in Miamuh (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, May 29 at 1923 UT check, KAMG-LP Enid is still on with dead air and may remain so for months until something fails. It`s beyond me why anystation will do this, paying the electricity bill while it could be accomplishing something by resuming modulation at virtually no additional cost; as it did for one day when it first came back last week (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15825, May 30 at 1751, WWCR-1 with Brother Scare, as the creep creeps onto more and more frequencies.

WORLD OF RADIO 1983 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday May 29 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, after 2.5 minutes of IS & ID loop rating S7 with deep fades to S2; but WOR upcut more than usual, missing my entire first phrase, ``This is Glenn Hauser, with WORLD OF RADIO 19-83``; I keep an ear on it, and this week transmitter stays on until at least 2129. On WBCQ 7490.2v, WOR is back to 2100 plus a few seconds behind WRMI, but much weaker. at 2130 can barely make out the late Goddess Irena I back to her old slot.

It`s not Oldies, but a new programming source, as explained by Richard Langley, to the WOR io group: ``Listening to 15770 kHz today (27 May) after 1200 UT, one might think that it's the "Oldies" feature presented by Bob Biermann often heard on 9395 kHz and other WRMI frequencies. But, no. It's APS Radio, a new feature. It was announced yesterday on the WRMI Facebook page: "APS Radio begins on WRMI tomorrow, May 27, from 1200-1300 UTC Monday-Friday on 15770 kHz to Europe, and from 1900-2100 UTC Monday- Friday on 9455 kHz to North America.

Twente SDR receiver. 15770.001 kHz came up at about 1157 UT with "top-of hour" sign-on announcement. Fairly good signal into Europe, averaging about S9. Almost non-stop vintage pop music with occasional IDs. First ID heard at 1232 UT. -- Richard Langley`` But who owns it, finances it, where is it and what does APS stand for? Only this is found on website under Trademarks: ``The name APS Radio was created and registered as a trademark by the owner of APS Radio. APS Radio is an acronym standing for Atlantic Pacific Systems. APS Radio and Radio Orenovscotia are registered trademarks.`` Where is it? ``45N`` appears all over the website; is that a latitude? That happens to be the parallel across Nova Scotia, north of Halifax! Classical Track has a current playlist in EDT, another clew, not ADT. But which of their multi streams will be on these 15 hours a week of SW? Another obscure ``station`` on the web is taking the SW plunge. Are there ever any APS Radio IDs? Confirming on the WRMI skedgrid, I see another new one: ``Radio for Peace International``, Fridays only at 2000-2100 on 15770 extended an hour. That would be the new European program, no connexion with the original and much-lamented RFPI Costa Rica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1984, DXLD) ** U S A. 1069.977, May 29 at 1925, shortly after my last report, I find that KFTI Wichita KS has come back on air after several days; why off, storm damage or flooding? ``Classic Country 10-70`` [sic].
