** AUSTRALIA. After finding no activity on higher hambands, Es or F2, finally, this OSOB: 18140 USB, June 8 at 2128-2138, VK4SX making N American contacts, mostly unheard but one calls him Dennis, and eventually put together infrequent IDs as VK4SX. QRZ.com:
VK4SX Australia flag Australia Dennis.A. EDEY NO QSL NO QSL AT ALL Bundaberg, QL 4670 Australia Nor does he wish to be spotted. That`s just south of Cairns on the NE coast of Queensland, tenth-largest city in the state. LOTS of equipment photos on his page, but not a single human, not even in the upper-right corner, rather antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9667.5 approx., June 9 at 0647, RVM music S7/S9, again jumped way above 9667 after last check just above nominal 9665 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2142) ** OKLAHOMA.

Original interview had questions in Castilian which Amy voiced-over, while answers were in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, June 9 at 0500, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine: Security Issue` in English by the other YL with accent, including: Russia holding 600 people in ``torture centers``. VG via Maryland remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2142) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2141 monitoring: not confirmed Wed June 8 at 2100:21 on WBCQ 7489.9v since it`s a JBA carrier direct, can`t even recognize my voice let alone confirm correct episode; and the computer for closer remote or streamcheck is out of reach right now. Did anyone hear it? Yet the flat-earth crap on 9330 is S9+22 in English. Despite huge disparity in power and gain, the puny Classic transmitter might have a chance of audibility if it were on 9 MHz or higher in the daytime, above summerdaytime lower-band absorption. Confirmed UT Thursday June 9 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 S9+10/20 but stormy into Missouri SDR; and also 9455, S9+5/15.

Online streaming is no more like radio than intravenous feeding is like fine dining. Authoritarian governments can control the Internet but they can`t control RF propagation`` One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, June 9 at 0644, WRMI-5, S9+10 with TOMBS over Cuban pulse jamming, notably also putting out obvious spurs with traces of same audio at plus/minus 5 kHz on 9950 & 9960, but also with declining strength to JBA carriers at plus/minus 10 and 15 kHz! 9940, 9945, 9965, 9970. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130 kHz, June 9 at 0152, KWKH under an open carrier making a fast SAH, i.e. KLEY Wellington KS is back on air but amodulous. And obviously not cut to legal night power of ONE WATT rather than 250 W day power, despite official sunset in June, and July, being 0145. It seems no one but me cares about these violations, not even 50 kW KWKH Shreveport (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0124 UT June 10
