** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, June 28 at 1814, it`s time for another Wednesday transmission of LRA36 --- but, no signal so far by 1934 into Argentine remote -- one of them that does get plenty else on its waterfall. Nor at final recheck 2046. Maybe Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Wed June 28 at 0118, RAE in English via System G, WRMI-6 with DX Axuality log items in alfabetical order by country, Algeria, Antarctica, Bolivia, Canada, Congo, Liberia... sound familiar like a report from Manuel Méndez, Spain, and fairly recent, LRA36 as of June 17. At 0124 on to non-DX news headlines. 9455, UT Wed June 28 at 0120, I hear RAE with the same English announcer, but regular non-DX news, a separate episode! In both cases, musicbits inserted between items: god forbid one should have to listen to someone talking for a few minutes with no musical relief! Trouble is, System K on WRMI-5, 9455 is supposed per websked to be in `Legends` at 0000-0200! This is strange. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 15920 S1/S3, 15760 S4/S6 and 15340 S1/S4, June 28 at 2211-2214, Chinese talk, all CNR1 jammers vs Sound of Hope per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9535, June 28 at 0623, S8/S9 undermodulated Spanish, unusual for this RHC frequency to be running overtime; anything else? 11760, June 28 at 0627, RHC Spanish overtime instead of English again, S9/+10 with squeal. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, June 28 at 2215, JBA S4/S1 music, presumably Recep`s TRT jammer against Dengê Welat; no trace of any other signal below 17500, and not much except Spain above; higher priority than mere VOT, see TURKEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11800, June 28 at 2207, RRI English is detected and on direct at S1/S4 so insufficient, but better than no Turkey neighbor on 11785 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed June 28 at 2200, token English from SNR, previews feature, interview with owner of a LGBTIQ+ bookstore, in today`s preferred initialism, which does start at 2206 after news. S9/S7 VG direct, and also on 15520, 17715 and even JBA 11670 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 28 at 2203 and 2233 chex, VOT English for us fails to put any signal into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 17640, June 28 at 0635, BBCWS in English, interview about elexions, the SSOB at S3/S6, 265 degrees from MADAGASCAR; // weaker 17830 which is 170 degrees from VATICAN. BBCWS typically operates in 1-hour blox per relay, like 06-07; in HFCC, 17640 gets another hour at 07-08 by switching to SAO TOME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday June 27 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S7/S9 into UTwente, S9/+10 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed Wednesday June 28 from 2059:59 on WBCQ 7490 -72 Hz = 7489.928, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR; clock and/or automation must have been reset instead of traditional Play :21 seconds after the hour. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] Thanks this week for generous financial support from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sent a quarterly seasonal check to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, June 28 at 0116, WRNO is again/still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, June 28 at 0632, WMLK still active here but JBA instead of blasting in; much weaker than several other 19 mb stations. Must be propagation as still VG into Europe per: ``[bdxc-news] WMLK 15150 kHz, Jun 28, Is this a new frequency? Currently hearing 555 English religious programming with very clear ID at 0700. Very strong signal. David J Morris, Lytchett Matravers, near Poole`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5980 & 5890, Wed June 28 at 0639, WWCR is OFF these frequencies as scheduled weeknights, unlike Tue when there was TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265, Wed June 28 at 2210, WINB is JBA in HSNL but I can detect English intonation, not Spanish as claimed on mistimed program schedule, vv to yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 90.1, June 28 at 1455 UT, Radio Kansas, after emotional ``Nimrod`` by Elgar, special fund-raiser to ``buy three new transmitters --- it`s time``. One may get a newly redesigned mug for only $ 50. Well, this old transmitter of KHCC Hutchinson HQ station is still doing very well, completely capturing 90.1 from KUCO on a household radio, with a little help from the troposphere. The others are KHCD 89.5 Salina and KHCT 90.9 Great Bend, seldom heard here. WTFDA shows 100 kW ERP except for 50 on 90.9. Apparently just these with some overlap, no translators: https://radiokansas.com/coverage-area/ Details on the situation: https://radiokansas.com/ R. Kansas is an excellent classical/news station; only wish I could hear both it and KUCO on different frequencies. Tropo overnight also favored BBC News via KHCC instead of KUCO classical. 185 km = 115 stmi to site just east of Hutch. Plenty tropo on the APRS map now, so after 1500 UT June 28, a DTV scan finds BAD signals on RF: 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 20, 21, 26, 28, 31, 34, some of which correlate with Kansas. Unusual is 15 which must be DX QRM to OKC`s KOPX baddenizing it: presumably KSNW, 650 kW, ``3``, NBC for Wichita. The Zenith STB now takes 20/30 seconds to upboot after onturn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, June 28 at 0642, NO signal from R. Vanuatu, which had been reliable here; nor at 0645 on 7890, 11835 which would appear as harmonix if back on 3945. Anomaly, or another periodic schedule change for no particular reason? No Nigeria either 7255-. Agreeing: ``[bdxc-news] Radio Vanuatu off-air again --- Radio Vanuatu is off-air again. It was heard on 7260 kHz at 1830 UTC sign-on yesterday (27 June), but was absent by 0930 UTC today (28 June) on 7260 kHz or the alternatives of 3945 and 5040 kHz (sign-off would normally be at 1100v UTC). Still missing at the time of today’s expected sign-on at 1830 UTC (0530 Thursday in Vanuatu) Tony Rogers (using Brisbane KiwiSDR, Australia)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7400, June 28 at 0643, JBA carrier, suspect pirate R. Vostochnaya Zvezda with his few watts or whatever he`s calling it tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 17755-17760-17765, June 28 at 2216, loud DRMish noise but metering S3, nothing listed now in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki, but CRI in DRM on 17760 at 07-09; RRI also uses 17760 at other times but only AM. After 2300 I try various KiwiSDRs with DRM enabled, but nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 17946 USB, June 28 at 2218, a few fonetik words, military? Seldom hear any aero activity at all on this band, but EiBi shows a possibly busy channel: Azores, Ireland, NY, SF via AK or HI. Via Maui SDR at 2216 I do JB hear some more ATC comms, selcall tones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0004 UT June 29

Wednesday, June 28 2023
** CUBA. 11760, June 27 at 0646, RHC S9+10/20 in wrong? language, Spanish instead of usual extra English, only frequency still on air alternating with 9700 and 11670. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 11760, June 27 at 2203, S3/S7 of almost dead air except for squeal, presumably RHC Spanish; but the JBM music is not // 11850 which really is RHC Spanish doing much better than usual, S5/S8 undermod but sufficient. Therefore I think the music under 11760 be the simulscheduled CRI Portuguese from Xi`an to Europe, which of course is nothing but fill music even at hourtop like at 2300 on 13650 via Cuba. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470, June 27 at 2150, JBA carrier direct, presumably Dengê Welat via Uzbekistan and/or more likely Recep`s Turkish jammer. Nothing else on 16m except Spain 17855, weaker 17715 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Area tropo is up per APRS map, reaching Enid from west, south, east. RF 14, June 27 at 1520 UT, brief decode with PSIP ID for KOCY as 48-3. That`s Telemundo, unnecessary since is also on a much stronger subchannel of RF 29 KTUZ. Does not last long enough to explore what may be on 48-1, 48-2, 48-4 or beyond, but rabbitears.info shows it`s alone despite the -3 virtual enumeration. I`ve had traces of this before when OKC tropo enhances but not definite until now. It`s 15 kW, somewhat direxional northward since site is on south side of OKC, near SE 49th and Oklahoma Avenue. BAD signals are on RF 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 26, 31, 35. But there is no signal at all on RF 29, normally huge local-level from ``Shawnee`` with the three Spanish nets and some shoppers. Suspect KTUZ may really be off the air. It`s back by 1605 check. Some Tulsans are in, on RF 28, ION 44-1; and an RF 29 spoiler from there could be 15 kW KTZT-CD, Daystar for Tulsa, but unlikely. Other Bad signals decoding briefly long enough to ID are RF 34, 33-1 KWRW-LD OKC, Heartland et al., and RF 36, 36-1 KUOKCD1 [sic] OKC, Univision also duplicated on RF 29 KTUZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 99 MHz Es MUF in spots leads me to the caradio for a check, but nonesuch here, rather tropo is up. On 93.5 I normally get fringer from Kansas to the north, but June 27 at 1732 UT I happen to catch an ad for ``right here in Altus`` and then ``K-pro 93.5 Altus``. WTFDA FMDB shows it relays KWHW 1450, but no mention of it now! KPRO KWHW 1450 93.5 ALTUS OK ROCK KPRO ROCKS 45.0 88.0 34-37-35 99-20-10 4AE4 235 km = 146 miles. I had several days` logs of KWHW x 2 on 2899.75 in May 2015. Altus also has the distinxion often of hitting maximum heat in OK since it`s in the SW corner, well over 100 lately. One other log this opening from TX: see U S A (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11800, June 27 at 2202, no signal direct from RRI, English alternative I had recommended. Very bad propagation, or off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, June 27 at 2200:17, timesignal ending 17 seconds late compared to WWV, poor S4/S6 from VOT English direct with ACI from 11780 Brasil; anyhow, not off the air today. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: ``15770, UNITED STATES, WRMI, 2230, World of Radio (no. 2196) heard here on Zenith T.O. Royal 7000 and whip, but due to choppy rx, we switched to Drake tabletop and long wire outside for the remainder of the program. -- Fair; Good on peaks, Jun. 24 [Sat]. Rick Barton, Sun City AZ`` ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: Confirming World of Radio #2196, WRMI: 15770, very weak, 2231. 2244. 2258, 2259, June 24 UTC 2023 [Sat] 9395, 0130 (45343), QSB fading, 0159, June 25 UTC 2023 [Sun] 9395, 0030, tv QRN, static QRN, 0045, 0059 (45443), June 27 UTC 2023 [Tue] (Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard`` Confirmed UT Tuesday June 27 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/15 into UTwente despite NNW beam from FL rather than NE; strangely, Missouri is getting no signal; a few minutes later direct, it`s S9/+20. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] Thanks this week for generous financial support from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sent a quarterly seasonal check to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265, June 27 at 0643, NO signal from WINB which per own schedule is supposed to run TOMBS daily until 0658: but has wrong time conversion between ``EST`` instead of EDT vs UT, i.e. 5 hour difference instead of 4. Come to think of it, I don`t encounter WINB in routine bandscans after 0600. So suspect it really stops at 0558 UT = 1:58 am EDT. That means ALL OTHER program times at http://winb.com/schedule.htm are WRONG: The EST is really EDT and the UTs are one hour later than reality. One could confirm this by checking any random shorter program on air vs on sked. It`s incredible that America`s ``oldest`` private SW station would make such juvenile mistakes. I try 9265 Tue June 26 at 2206 UT and hear a gospel huxter in Spanish: none sked!: 04:00P / Tue-2100...Bishop S. C. Johnson 05:00P / Tue-2200...The Overcomer 06:30P / Tue-2330...The Essentials of Life and Wellness But there is supposedly on Wednesdays: even further SNAFU: 04:00P / Wed-2100...A Look At The Book - Spanish - 04:30P / Wed-2130...Wells of Salvation 05:00P / Wed-2200...Templo Trinidad Presenta Jesucristo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, it seems my previous log of KVOH, UT Monday June 26 before 0600, was in its very last minutes forever. Shortly afterwards, Jose Jacob notified that had been its final broadcast, more info in the next `AWR Wavescan`. Dino Bloise of `Frecuencia al Día` which had also been carried on KVOH, also reported this. I had been hearing rumors of impending doom for some time. It would seem that if its own transmitter is no longer any good, and if the Tayloes wish to continue their ministry and could afford it, buying a few hours on existing US SW stations would serve the purpose, such as WRMI or even WTWW. George McClintock had been trying to make a deal for KVOH to buy WTWW, but it did not work out. It seems that KVOH also has a problem with the lease running out for the property it has been using. Jose Jacob also refers us to his convoluted history of KVOH et al., as of two years ago: https://qsl.net/vu2jos/VOH.pdf The last I checked there was nothing about this on VOH website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, June 27 at 0649, presumed DEJOM on WMLK, but only S6/S8 direct unlike usual 300 kW whopper; 15770 WRMI is stronger, reverse of normal. Maybe northerly propagation be degraded, or QRP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5980, Tue June 27 at 0651, weak carrier interfering with Cuba`s jamming against nothing; as I bandscan downward I know I will find 5890 TOMBS on WWCR on the air even tho has been running overnight only on weekends; leaping over 5935 DGS/PMS another 45 kHz beyond. Yup, there it is on 5890, S9+20/30. And current sked dated June 1 still shows WWCR-4 OFF the air M-F at 05-12 UT. Change, or mistake? Something`s not right at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395, June 27 at 2208, ``Bishop`` Bob Biermann is really angry on `Truth [sic] 2 Ponder` via WRMI. He must have recovered from his surgery. Denounces homosexuality as sinful and laments that ``Pride`` gets a whole month with 3 more days to go, while worthy unsinful holidays are for only one day a year! Doesn`t care what others think of him. Names several major denominations which have embraced Gay Pride: they are all wrong, he thinx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 96.7, June 27 at 1724 UT into caradio, a strong and steady *mono* signal with two guys talking about engorgement, phone sex --- oooh, hot stuff; axually rather vapid, but what is this on normally nothing channel adjacent local 96.9? I was looking for Es but this isn`t. Finally at 1730, ``The Ticket`` for the ``tri-state area`` [besides TX and OK, what??], later mentions DFW and ``Sports Radio 96-7 and 1310 The Ticket``, so it`s: KTCK-FM 96.7 FLOWER MOUND TX SPORTS SPORTS RADIO 1310 & 96.7, THE TICKET 90.0 621.0 33-26-13 97-29-05 426A All sports all the time KTCK The Ticket // KTCK 1310 381 km = 236 miles. Flower Mound is on the north side of The Metroplex which may help a little, but as before I have no sign of any other DFW signals. Finally fades at 1736 but back up at 1741, now really talking about sports instead of sex; as I leave for lunch. One other log this opening, see OKLAHOMA. That is, until another check on the caradio at 2047: 94.5, ads and PSA for contact Dallas City Hall for West Nile Virus info, AC 214. This is the station closest to Dallas, well north of The Metroplex and good for reception into OK: KZMJ 94.5 GAINESVILLE TX HD URBAN AC MAJIC 94.5 100.0 591.0 33-32-14 96-49-54 5345 THE NEW MAJIC 94-5 www.majic945.com Rhythm and Blues 315 km = 196 mi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2326 UT June 27

Tuesday, June 27 2023
** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, June 26 at 0626 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watt ND beacon at Sioux Lookout, Ontario is JBA vs horrible summer storm and line noise levels; and so is 332 MCW kHz, QT, 1000 watts at Thunder Bay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. 6070, June 26 at 0535, S9+10 of dead air from CFRX; and so is 6185 XEPPM at S9+19/20 -- the only SW stations left in Mexico & Canada self-silenced; unusual for CFRX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHILE. 28428 USB, June 26 at 2141, CA2YWW calling CQDX repeatedly with clear fonetix. He`s JBA and the OSOB, not even beacons, except for some digistsuff near the low edge. CA2YWW Chile flag Chile, WhatsApp +56 9 9920 4564, Jose Rafael "Rafa" Reyes Arancibia, Calle Onel 620, comuna de CALLE LARGA REGION DE VALPARAISO, Chile, per QRZ.com where he also illustrates some of his colorful QSLs. Then I check longer bands: no activity on 12 or 14 mb, a few on 16 mb; 20 mb unchecked but FYI anything below 14286 kHz = 21 meters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 17560, June 26 at 0013, two CNR1 jammers with echo, per EiBi vs VOA Mandarin via Philippines this hour only. S4/S6 the SSOB by far, virtually the OSOB with little else on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, June 26 at 0026, HK3QQ with usual slow letters in keyboard order except for errors, as I usually log much later including tonight again at 0511 when stronger. Does this run 24 hours; and why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, June 26 at 0008, RHC Spanish news at S9, morning/afternoon frequency still running, not turned off at 2030 after French? or maybe Sunday Esperanto to 2100? // also now: weaker 15230, stronger 11760; 11850 suptorted as usual, and 9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12000, June 26 at 0502, RHC English JBM at S5/S9 on 2 x 6000 where it`s much stronger and undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, June 26 at 0505, RHC Spanish still on at S9+20. Aoki says -0400; EiBi says -0500 and irr. English for two more hours, as I have often reported; but no extras heard after 0600 tonight. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, June 26 at 1436, RHC is S9 but JBM, while 15140 is S8/9+10 with sufficient modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, June 25 at 2150, R. Cairo, S9+45 into UTwente, modulating English but with big hum, not off the air; something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, June 26 at 0536, S9+10/20 of dead air from XEPPM; and so is 6070 CFRX at S9+10, the only SW stations left in Canada & Mexico self-silenced, but not unusual for XEPPM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 9550 // 11620, UT Mon June 26 at 0021, RRI English starting Romanian LL, good on both. Was checking 9550 for R. Boa Vontade, Brasil, which others report but I never hear; despite ``24h`` per Aoki & EiBi, not even a het as EiBi says 9550.1; and not ``Ventade`` as in Aoki. I think RBV must be on limited daytime-only sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11735-11740-11745, June 26 at 0504 harsher-sounding DRM noise, S7/S9. Scheduled 0500-0530 only is RRI Galbeni in French to France (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9670, June 26 at 0022, music S3/S5, sounds same as TOMBS on 7570 WRMI; as Channel 292, GERMANY, fills much time with that tho not specified as such on sked which shows only a few weekly blox of other purchased program time: https://www.channel292.de/schedule-9670-khz/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday June 26 after 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct and almost as good off the back of 15520 ME beam; 17715 for SAm a poor third, and can`t tell if 11670 be on or not. Today`s feature after the news discusses ``LGBT`` rights in Spain, just those four? Of course the rightwing is against them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 25 at 2200, NO signal from VOT English into UTwente, nor for several more minutes: but on at 2228 recheck, S9+45/35. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Confirmed not off the air June 26 at 2200, fair direct but SPAIN is much stronger and easier to understand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UQKOGBANI [non]. 12095, June 26 at 0455, BBCWS sufficiently good with news; 0459 SAH flutter for a few sex by overlapping site change, then somewhat weaker. Aoki shows Oman to Vatican at 0500 but I don`t think so, rather as in EiBi and HFCC, MADAGASCAR, to Vatican. Talata at 315 degrees across Africa carries on nicely USward, despite BBC`s best efforts to deprive us of SW service. After 0500 also // 11810 which is MAD too but 265 degrees so weaker. Would you believe that JORDAN is still pretending in HFCC to be on SW 11810 with 500 kW from 0500? Other imaginary `AKA` entries there on 6105, 7155, 9830, 11995, 15435. Why does HFCC put up with stuff like this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: confirmed Saturday June 24 from 2230:30, on WRMI 15770, S7/S9 into UTwente; at 2241 check S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, best S9+5/10 into Missouri SDR, but sounds undermodulated everywhere. 7730 still off the air and missed checking // 5850: did anyone hear that? [15770 WTFK originally omitted] Also confirmed Sunday June 25 after 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/15 into nearby SDR. NOT confirmed Sunday June 25 at 2130 on WRMI 15770: this new airing has already been replaced by something else at 21-22. Confirmed UT Monday June 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA direct with noise QRM burst override for first 14 seconds. Also confirmed UT Monday June 26 from 0301.8 on Area 51 WBCQ, 6160 -67 Hz = 6159.933, S9+20 into NH SDR; S9 direct vs S9+10 crashes by high storm noise level; after JL gotta go almost on time.

Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sent a quarterly seasonal check to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490-), Sun June 25 at 2200, WBCQ webcast not with `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` which has been suspended but still on the sked, rather rerun of Feb rerun of `AAAWWW` of UT Sat June 24 at 0000. Fillers of earlier UBMPs would be preferable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, June 26 at 0024, KVOH not off the air yet, during its one airing of `AWR Wavescan` at 0000 UT Mondays, only S5/S8 now. Still on with gospel music at 0509, now S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265, June 26 at 0507, WINB with S9/+10 of JBM music, sounds same as WRMIs 9395 & 9955, i.e. TOMBS as sked on all, 0502-0658 on WINB: but sked dated June 4 is labeled EST with 5-hour difference to UT; so is one of them wrong, really EDT? But at least WINB carrier is hardly wobbling at all now! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2359 UT June 26

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: confirmed Saturday June 24 from 2230:30, S7/S9 into UTwente; at 2241 check S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, best S9+5/10 into Missouri SDR, but sounds undermodulated everywhere. 7730 still off the air and missed checking // 5850: did anyone hear that?
Also confirmed UT Sunday June 25 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into Louisiana SDR with perpetual noise blast QRM for first 14 seconds and bits later. Also confirmed UT Sunday June 25 new 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 direct. Also confirmed UT Sunday June 25 from 0329 the 0315v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+10/15 including very heavy local storm noise into nearby Missouri SDR. Also confirmed Sunday June 25 at 1330 on WRMI 9955, S5/S9 direct, no jamming audible. Next: 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] Thanks this week for generous financial support from Gerald T.

It`s VR`s Sunday-only liturgy in Ukrainian at 0605-0700 per EiBi. Otherwise on 11815 we would expect Brasil or Japan, but not Turkey this season. Also, RTI & CNR1 jamming. Brasil might be 24h but the others avoid the Vatican hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1917 UT June 25

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE June 24
Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Greece - V of Greece/ERT: Updated links. (Thanks to Zacharias Liangas) 2) Israel - KAN: Updated all links (as previous ones now obsolete). (Thanks to Daniel Rosenzweig) 3) USA - WMLK: Updated links to WMLK home page (Thanks to Glenn Hauser in WOR iog mail list) 4) USA - WRMI: deleted a Facebook link to the WRMI Legends Fan Club (which has now become a general Shortwave facebook page) 5) USA - WRMI Legends: Added link to Ria's Ham Shack archive (on Youtube) The next update is scheduled for early August. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS UPDATE June 24 http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html ** CHINA [non]. 9580, June 24 at 0247 CRI relay S9+20/30 but undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Unseems Std Chinese to me, Cantonese? No, Mandarin sked this hour, Cantonese at 04-05 on 9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, June 24 at 0642, steady S9 of dead air in English: obviously the extra RHC frequency tonight instead of 11760 or 9700. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CHINA [non], ROMANIA [and non] ** GERMANY. 9670, June 24 at 0248, pop music S7/S9, presumably Channel 292 as nothing else is listed and it plays a lot of fill music between specific paid programming; better than usual for only 10 kW. Website has a day-by-day program grid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, June 24 at 0648, S7 signal but JBM on signature offset of Voice of Nigeria. Often totally absent so a marginal improvement; while neighbor 7260 Vanuatu continues to be outstanding and reliable, for now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. DTV bandscan of 6 thru 36, June 24 at 1535 UT finds BAD signals on RF: 11, 14, 17!, 20, 22, 26, 28, 34. All are normally ``open`` except 17, where Enid`s only local signal resides, such as it is, K17JN-D with 3ABN channels: either it`s off again or more likely degraded by DX QRM from 1000 kW KTEN ``10`` Ada, not far off the aim of antenna toward OKC. By 1645, K17JN-D is restored. 11 is also unusual. FCC TV Query shows there are no lo-power 11s in OK or KS, just KTWU Topeka, KSNG Garden City, KOED Tulsa and KSWO Lawton. All except KSWO ``7`` have retained their original analog channels. Most of the other bad signals correlate with Tulsa market, per rabbitears.info; and APRS tropo map shows a connexion between Enid and Tulsa, also closest, so assume 11 be KOED, the OETA station. 14 is probably the new home of KTUL ``8``, which IIRC recently moved from RF 10. The only other VHF left in Tulsa is RF 12 of KGEB ``53`` which I have seldom if ever? logged; 21.5 kW ERP while KOED has ERP of 47 kW. My erstwhile Zenith set-top-box -- axually set-beside-box, DTV converter/tuner, is showing signs of ageing, and maybe imminent demise, as it`s no longer instant-on from redeye to blueeye, rather takes several seconds to boot up. I much rather use it for DXing than HD tuners built in to screens, so it`s obvious which real channels I am tuning. The HDTV sets are too `smart` for their own good (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 11780, June 24 at 0249, RRI already wrapping up Spanish hour before some outro music, VG with no QRM from RNA Brasil which is obviously off, deliberately? tho supposedly sked until 0300; and RRI // 9700 slightly lowerly modulated -- and no QubaRM there either; RHC sometimes on 9700 ex-6165 in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.008, Sat June 24 after 2200, VOT English not off the air today, VG S9+40/50 into UTwente; 2212 some nice harmonious music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday June 24 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/30 direct but noisy. Also confirmed Saturday June 24 at 1600 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday June 24 promptly at 1930 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG steady S9+25 into nearby SDR and no storm crashes. Next: 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE [& 7730? Has been off air again] 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0130 UT Sunday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] 0245vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0457] 1330 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also phonecast, webcast][jammed by Cuba?] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] Thanks this week for generous financial support from Gerald T.
