** BOTSWANA. 13830.32, Tue May 23 at 0638, open carriers beating, seemingly another on 13830.0. Presumably VOA in French not turned off after 0530-0630 M-F (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 15034 USB, May 23 at 1533, Trenton Military is JBA, at par with ``no report received`` from Zagreb, Split. Had been inaudible several days and presumed off altho propagation has been degraded and still is. Right now, CHU 14670 is also JBA. CHR is again audible direct at 2227 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9565, May 23 at 0622, two-tone blipping with BFO, surely a jammer against nothing, operator messing around as happens occasionally, instead of regular pulse noise. This is a longtime Martí frequency, but only at 21-24 per Aoki & EiBi; and wisely, no other broadcasters are ever on 9565 now. Some different toning on 11930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 9965, May 23 at 0621, pulse jamming against nothing, a frequency evacuated by R. República at least a decade ago when stopped via Costa Rica. Now using 9965 are only Palau on a very limited non-daily 08/13 UT skedspan; and EiBi also shows something unknown to me: 9965 0000-2400 irr B Rádio Pirâmide P B xx must be a Brazilian pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM [and non]. 9890, May 23 at 1955, tune in one of two KiwiSDRs in Korea South, for KSDA, AWR scheduled to start a new day at 20-21 UT in Korean. Cuts on air at *1957 with incredible S9+60 carrier, some dips to only +45. 1959 my ``Optimum`` internet drops out, and not back until 2001 when I`m on the other KS SDR where it`s much weaker and noisier, but underway in Korean with AWR mentions, perhaps for the last time? Since a super-typhoon is heading toward Guam and expected to hit Wednesday afternoon, circa 04 UT. As soon as we got this story via Mike Terry, A monster typhoon is barreling toward a US territory with deadly winds and 25-foot storm surge By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist Published 10:47 AM EDT, Tue May 23, 2023 Super Typhoon Mawar is barreling toward Guam on Tuesday, threatening to slam into the US territory as the strongest storm there in more than 60 years. The typhoon, which has strengthened rapidly in recent days, is posing a “triple threat” of devastation including deadly winds equivalent to a category 5 hurricane, exceptional storm surge and torrential rainfall, according to the National Weather Service office in Guam... https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/23/weather/typhoon-mawar-guam-forecast-track-tuesday/index.html I started replying: I was going to suggest monitoring KTWR & KSDA whether they be blown off -- both totally worthless for any LOCAL news about Guam. WRTH Update https://wrth.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/WRTH23_INT_Summer-8.pdf has nothing under Guam. Instead they are mixed in with other TWR and AWR sites under Singapore and USA respectively. If anyone can find or compile KTWR-only or KSDA-only transmission skeds, please do so. Glenn Perhaps most convenient will be EiBi by time: http://www.eibispace.de/dx/bc-a23.txt For KTWR, search on KTWR, to find it is OFF the air between 1630 and 1000. For KSDA, search on GUM-a, which is OFF the air at 1830-2000 and 0000-1000. Not considering day of week variations. So first up will be KSDA at 20-21 in Korean on 9890 Glenn, 1833 UT There is one public radio station, KPRG http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php and its stream is working http://peridot.streamguys.com:5090/live I have not investigated for commercial stations There are many more utility transmitters which you can find on EiBi by searching merely GUM There are no KiwiSDRs to be found on Guam by searching or on the world map. Glenn I do not see any explicitly local news on the schedule which is UT+10, but I suppose there may be some such inserts during NPR programs such as ATC. Here & Now is currently running at 6-8 am. Glenn http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php?key=schedule KPRG did not occupy the optional cutaway in NPR news at 1904 UT, but stayed with NPR news until 1906. Also, I see that KPRG does not carry NPR Morning Edition which would start around local midnight, but rather BBCWS. Glenn Arthur Pozner replies: Radio-locator.com has 21 local stations listed for Guam. Most of them appear to have live links. And Jose Jacob, India: Hello Glenn, KSDA A23 Schedule is in my site: https://qsl.net/vu2jos/A23/KSDA.pdf KTWR A23 Schedule is in my site: https://qsl.net/v/vu2jos//A23/KTWR.pdf Gary Pence says at 2059: Glenn, The radar shows they`re getting into it. I can only hope it moves quickly; the slower it moves or stalls awhile, more damage and destruction occurs. Gary So we`re all set to follow what happen to Guam and its stations. SAIPAN & TINIAN with USAGM SW stations are not far away to the North, and might also be affected. What hath god wrought? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** LIBERIA. 6050, May 23 at 0632, JBA something, presumed ELWA which Bryan Clark, NZ, says has just been resuscitated. For longtime in nightly bandscans during this hour, I have encountered nothing on 6050; and sharer HCJB is off by 0500 latest.
