** CUBA. 9790, May 4 at 0331, CRI English relay is S9+20/10 but just
barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 11640, May 3 at 2107, CRI English relay VP but detectable //
much stronger 13630. 11640 is scheduled 1800-2130 in Hausa, Arabic,
Portuguese and finally English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, May 4 at 1416 UT, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local TV
signal, the 3ABN satellator, is on air at Good+ signal level, but
black screen and silence on all six subchannels, rather than only
three of them. Boo, hoo.

Hepburn tropo map for 1500 May 4 shows a level-3 blob between Enid and
OKC, but nothing unusual beyond traces of Bad signals on low-power
channels 21 and 42 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9515.007V, May 4 at 0320, VOT English YL talking about
Ottoman Empire history, undermodulated and muffled, soon into music,
S9+10/20 and with flutter. Frequency is also wobbling slightly,
Doppler effect? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 9740, May 3 at 2103, ``VOA Afrique`` ID in passing
during French news, fair; wonder which site? It`s Woofferton UK, 2100
-2130 M-F, 250 kW at 158 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: missed checking Friday May 3
at 2200 on WRMI 9955, but presumably replayed. Confirmed UT Saturday
May 4 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair. Due to an uploading delay by gh,
1979 continued rather than 1980 for these two times.

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria observes: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio
via HLR on 6190 CUSB, May 4:
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/05/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on.html
0631-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, weak signal``

WORLD OF RADIO 1980 monitoring: woke up at 1159 UT Sat May 4, one
minute too late to confirm that 1980 had been broadcast as scheduled
at 1130.

As usual WOR cannot be confirmed Saturday May 4 at 1431 on HLR 9485-
CUSB; via UTwente no signal, just super-splash from 9490. Anyway, HLR
probably is repeating 1979 instead of 1980 this weekend.

Two of our UT Sunday times on WRMI have been replaced by ``tests`` of
Hobart Radio International, according to Jordan Heyburn, UKOGBANI, who
has a segment on HRI: Sunday 0030 & 0830 on 7730. Otherwise, WOR:

** U S A. 7490.123v, Friday May 3 at 2119, WBCQ with `Behaviour Night`
ancient music recordings, but too weak in noise level to enjoy.
Earlier today the 500 kW transmitter was reported testing with open
carrier only on 7490 --- I`ve yet to see anyone confirming its exact
frequency which should be much closer to 7490.000. Unfortunately, we
cannot expect any of our favorite programs to become audible as
Superstation time will primarily be for the funders, the flat-earth
``Worlds Last Chance`` ministries.

7490+, UT Saturday May 4 after 0000, William Tell Overture but AAAWWW
hosted this week instead by Pirate Joe Ferraro, from his own studio at
WHVW in NY. Not long before AW calls in from some hamfest in New
Hampshire, and he`s on the horn until 0034 as I keep listening for the
latest info on the 500 kW project, summarizing:

Initial on-air testing has been on 7490 with open carrier only, not
9330 as he had publicized earlier. PJ`s own show `Shortwave Saturday
Night` *may* be on the 500 kW, on its regular schedule 7490 UT Sunday
0100-0400, at the usual azimuth of 245 degrees as on the old antenna.

The 500, transmitter #6, is all water-cooled, including tubes, coils,
vacuum capacitors costing $ 25K each. The whole thing is very complex
and all computer-controlled. Modulation is 95% efficient. Power level
is being brought up slowly; was 135 kW with brief tests to 400 kW. WLC
programming normal sked should begin later this month mainly on 9330.
A new frequency in the ``5-6 MHz band`` will be available at night.
(Nonesuch yet in HFCC,
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A19&broadc=BCQ
but shows hour-by-hour languages and azimuths planned? for 9330 and
still lists the imaginary 15420)

Part of the time I listen on 9330.13v, but as it fades down, back to
7490.12v. At 0034 JP resumes with totally unrelated ``stream of
consciousness`` musings about cars and Detroit, and at 0055 recheck
something about US Grant.

Here`s John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started early on 7490.
Pirate Joe is the host this evening while Allan and Angela are at
NearFest. Killing time with mild political talk while waiting for
Allan to call in. Difficult to copy Allan over Pirate Joe's phone
patch. Lot of static this evening. Allan announced that they have been
testing the new transmitter the last two days and are planning to take
it to full power tomorrow. Possibly will be broadcasting tomorrow's
7490 programs over the new transmitter. Most of the program this
evening is devoted to political talk and WHVW items with little about
WBCQ. It was announced that a Go Fund Me page had been started for
WHVW. Show was off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana``

AW`s latest twit circa 12 UT May 4: ``More power today for the worlds
superstation. Hopefully to 500kw. Testing on 7490khz. Later this week
on 9330khz. One megawatt average load for 500kw out at average
modulation. Wow. All for you the special shortwave listeners. Support
us. The last free speech radio voice. Ground.`` Ground refers to his
shot of some grounding cables by some posts, supporting the feedline?

After WWCR is finished with 7490 at 1500, May 4 at 1540 check, I do
have an open carrier on 7490.002, which must be WBCQ-6, but it`s only
S2-S3, certainly not Super. Of course if this were put on 11, 13 or 15
MHz in the daytime it would propagate much better, but no plans for
that. Could really be 7490.000 within my margin of error (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475 & 5830, May 3 at 2104, both WTWW-1 day and night
frequencies are OFF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1602 UT May 4
