** ALGERIA. 17600, Apr 27 at 0641, JBA music into UTwente, so can`t confirm any English this time. Propagation depressed, no signal direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non]. See CUBA; EAST TURKISTAN ** CUBA. 6000, April 27 at 2335, something strange here: long narration in English but only an occasional word understood, with continuous Chinese music background; like storytelling. Bigsig has to be Cuban relay, not direct from China; no CRI English relays are supposedly sked at this time nor frequency. This is Sat, but on a weekday, 6000 would be running the alt RHC service, `Mesa Redonda`, // 11950, which is not on now. At first during AC power outage due to storms, I`m monitoring on the D808 or DX398 portables. AC back on at *2345, then on the NRD at S9/+10 including the HSNL. 2358 ``until next time, goodbye``; 2359 promos in Chinese/English. 0000 no timesignal or ID but into song, strange ToH behaviour for CNR domestic or CRI external. By 0044 next check into Georgia SDR, 6000 is mixing Spanish and RHC English at equal audio levels. Spanish mentions China, so that may be from CRI, S9+40/50. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. None of this is accounted for in latest EiBi or Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 13740, Apr 27 at 2326, music and Spanish with flutter into portables during power outage. CRI Spanish sked 2300-0057 & 0100-0300 via Kashi-Saiba per Aoki. 13740 used to be a Cuban frequency; see also (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.74 AM approx., Apr 27 at 0100, Enid CB pirate relay of K288FX, // 105.5 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Tornado outbreak all day April 27, disrupted our monitoring. Several came close to Enid but no direct hits. Two power outages of about an hour each were also problems, 2030-2126, 2138-2245! OKC TV channels, ``4, 5, 9`` normally go to wall-to-wall coverage with choppers and storm spotters deployed. 4 was slowest to dispense with a stupid ballgame. We mostly followed KOCO 5. Except during power and thus cable outages, the only station we can get on indoor UHF loop is KFOR 4, RF 27. We did get backup AC power supplies going to run the TV. In the past, a number of commercial AM & FM stations in OKC would plug into live tornado coverage by one of the TV stations. This time I could not find a single one doing so on FM; nor AM but weaker signals blocked by high storm noise levels. Some would break into regular programming only for NWS warnings. The additional noise level on some of those daisy-chain relays is incredible. Instead, KFOR coverage was being relayed by three otherwise gospel huxters audible here, on 88.5, 89.7 and 90.5: 88.5 KZTH Piedmont is relay of 89.7 KJTH, ``The House``, Ponca City; and 90.5 KGVV Goltry, ``My Praise/The House of Praise``. No locally-originated coverage was to be heard on any Enid market AM or FM commercial station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 27 at 2302 and still 2319, during AC power outage due to storms, I get enough signal into portables with inside longwire to hear some German, i.e. another erroneous Emirler TRT overrun past the 2200 English hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday April 27 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/28 into Missouri SDR.

Confirmed Saturday April 27 at 1616 the 1600 N America webcast of WRN.

Unique Radio, Australia, as of Apr 27 ``currently off air except for Jen live`` -- and Tim Gaynor does mean off, not even webcasting as the program sked is now entirely blank, so we have to remove Wed 1200 & 1230 WOR entries. https://www.uniqueradio.biz/ One of Jen`s shows, `Calling All Radio Nutzzz` has been appearing irregularly, but publicized in major DX lists a day or two before. Last one for the season was today April 27 from 1800, including Dr Richard E Wood`s language recognition lessons, and Ian McFarland`s classic SW IDs and interval signals.
