** CUBA [and non]. 11850, May 12 at 0141, RHC Spanish is S9+20 and suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Parasite 11840 is JBM; 11860 confronts another carrier beating, probably Yemen via Sa`udi Arabia, and remnants of pulse jamming, Cuban Commies vs Commies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, May 12 at 0607, RHC English with humbuzz, but 6165 & 6100 are still on for a change with OK modulation; 6000 is as usual off by now; and 5040 is still on but in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GREECE. 9420, May 11 at 1936 check via UTwente, ERT is S9+30 but extremely distorted! A shame since they play so much music, not just Greek. VOG`s last SW transmitter may be on the way out. This has been a hot topic on the WOR iogroup. Many other reports of distortion, but sometimes not. It was missing on May 9, causing concern for those who did not realize that it always takes Sundays off into UT Mondays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1210, May 11 at 2050 UT, KGYN Guymon audio is cutting on and off rapidly, unusable. Is no one paying attention? This 10 kW ND at 183 miles does barely reach Enid by daytime groundwave across the Ogallala Aquifer. Per NRC AM Log, there is a CP to raise day power to 22 kW. Not the only problem at KGYN lately: Rick Dau reported on his roadtrip to NRC: ``1210 KGYN OK Guymon - 4/24 2015 [converted by gh to UT] - Strong, of course, but with OC, which was noted by me from the time I crossed the Texas-Oklahoma state line south of Bryans Corner, Oklahoma on U.S. Highway 83 (approx. 1930) to the Oklahoma-Kansas state line on Oklahoma State Highway 136 (approx. 2045). Station should have been airing the Steve Hartman Show via Fox Sports Radio at the time. Oops! (RD-OK)`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, May 12 at 0613 UT, ND beacon DDP is JBA vs storm noise level, from Dorado/San Juan. Always nice to get this but what about all the other NDBs in Latin America? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 13650, May 11 at 2039, RRI half-hour English is F-G here, S8-S5 but no signal on // 11850; about vaccines. At least one of their transmitters is down again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, May 12 at 0143, zero signal from REE to North America which is scheduled until 0200 weekdays. It had been detectable in the afternoon, yet now totally unpropagating. But 11940 to S America is sufficient, S9+10/20. Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2085 monitoring: can anyone confirm the Wed May 12 at 1030 on WRMI 5850? Next: [reception may be worse than usual with G3 geomagnetic storms past and future, and K-index of 7 as of 1800 per WWV] 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to Artie Bigley, Columbus OH for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com [not necessarily in US funds] and comments, ``Thank you for over 52 years of unselfishly producing excellent DX shows for the worldwide DX listening community!`` One may also contribute via MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, May 12 at 0605, R. Vanuatu X 3 is on again but JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 475.65 kHz, May 12 at 0613 fast CW is JBA, unreadable, presumably a ham. Dave Frantz`s WA4SZE/BEACON from TN, conveying his website would be much stronger and slower, but in virtually nightly bandscans has not been heard since Dec 31 tho other reports ran until Jan 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2054 UT May 12
