** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, June 10 at 2034, LRA36 is S5 into
Argentine SDR, all music now, another Saturday broadcast which Manuel
Méndez, Spain was hearing direct from *1743 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, June 10 at 0645, tonight`s wrong frequency for RHC
English and nowhere else, S9+10/20 with sufficient modulation even.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140 VP // 11760 S7/S9, June 10 at 1538, both RHC midday
Spanish frequencies are on air today unlike yesterday. Something`s not
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 15215.111, June 10 0642 S7/S9 talk in unknown language way
off-frequency also encountered before. EiBi shows it`s another of
those defective Issoudun relays, this semihour of DW in Hausa (Glenn

This report dispatched at 0028 UT June 11

** CUBA [and non]. 15140 & 11760, June 9 at 1539 & 1542, NO signals
direct from the only two midday frequencies supposedly from RHC. 15770
WRMI weak as usual, but 15555 USB WJHR and 15825 WWCR plenty big with
sporadic E boost. Recheck 1742 via Maryland remote: 15140 & 11760
still absent. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440.000, June 9 at 2225, R. Cairo English sesquihour from
2115 is not off the air, S9+40/45 into UTwente, but very overmodulated
& distorted; after 2230 bits of Qur`aning interspersed with plain
talk, translations or explanations? Violating Separation Of Mosque And
State. Others have reported R. Cairo lately as more or less
listenable; not for me. 2244 mod stops, stays on with dead air except
for frying sound to 2245.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 18116 USB, June 9 at 2015, DK5DL concluding a contact who
addressed him as Walter. I thought he had said VK5DL which would be
South Australia. QRZ.com agrees DK5DL is Walter but no further info.

** NORTH AMERICA. 7400.6 approx., JBA carrier at 0630 June 9, probably
Eastern Star pirate, who admitted to Ron Howard he was only running a
few watts; 25 watts would be an increase to relatively high power
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 89.1 MHz, June 9 at 1818 UT, K206CA, 205-watt
gospel huxter translator in Enid is OFF, opening a frequency for DX.
If only Es MUF would ascend. Now I`m hearing on caradio public radio
talk, no doubt KMUW Wichita which used to reach Enid with no such
blockage. WTFDA says it relays 90.5 KNYD of the so-called Oasis
Network, but no way it can be picked up from Broken Arrow in a direct
relay as 90.5 is occupied here by nearby KGVV Goltry with a different
g.h. net, My Praise FM. That is a relay of 88.7 KLVV Ponca City which
used to have a near-local signal here but is now blocked by yet
another g.h. translator which recently jumped from 88.3 to 88.7. They
all try to occupy as many channels as possible to block others,
especially anything secular, like public radio, from having a voice. O
o, at 2121 recheck K206A is back on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 100.9, June 10 at 0058 UT, dead air from KGWA 960
translator Enid; bandscanning due to 106 MUF reports with OK at the
edge, but no DX to be heard here and now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Friday June 9 at 2200, today`s frequency missing for
token English from SNR; neither direct nor into UTwente, while 17855,
17715 and even 11670 remain. Starts with only 3 minutes of news, 2203
report from Beirut about tobacco and smoking in Lebanon, 2205 major
feature Justin interviewing a Sidron -- same as a few days ago or a
different one. Something`s not right at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, June 9 at 2200 and later chex, NO signal direct nor
into UTwente from VOT, English for us astray. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2194 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday June 9 at 1430 on WRMI 9955 direct, as usual at this
daypart, VP S4/S7 but declining to JBA by 1448; at least no jamming
audible.

Also confirmed Friday June 9 after 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323
kHz only, S9+15/20 into nearby Noale SDR, atop usual understation
music presumably Smooth Radio, Brighton, England, UQKOGBANI, and
occasional storm crashes. 2059 fragment of a song, why? and IRRS
``sign-off`` until 9 pm CE[D]T tomorrow and as always keeps right on

** U S A. (7490-), UT Sat June 10 from 0000, WBCQ webcasst with
`AAAWWW`. Main topix: blaming ``moonbats`` forest fires and smoke;
phone-phreaking starting in grade school. 5130 can be brought back at
any time, but needs enough paid programming to cover increasing
electric expenses. 3265 transmitter is ``ginormous high-power` but
needs 6-12 hours of paid programming to justify running it. Only on
7490 and 6160 tonight. 0020 datestamp as 9th of June live from DeLand

celebrating his 70th birthday on Monday June 12 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** VANUATU. 7260, June 9 at 0626, after a spate of regularity, NO
signal now from R. Vanuatu, nor on other possibilties 5040, 7890,
11835. In the British DX Club, Tony Rogers agrees at 2106 June 9:
``After several days of good reception being reported of Radio Vanuatu
on 7260 kHz between 1830v UTC sign-on and 1100v UTC sign-off (with
seemingly no frequency changes in-between), it appears that they are
missing again with no trace of them today (9 June) from 1830 UTC on
7260 kHz or their two alternative frequencies of 3945 (and harmonics)
and 5040 kHz (checked using the Brisbane KiwiSDR in Australia). 73's

UNIDENTIFIED. 4755, June 9 at 0623 I happen to be here during a
routine bandscan noting CODAR when I hear that Morse code ID fire,
presumably the last of 3x, so not copied, but probably same one as
IDed before; so just reconfirming the timing of +23 so also +43 and
+03 past the hours. I could also tell it was quite broad like the
CODAR swirshes, not just on this precise frequency. Also seemed the
CODAR itself paused during ID, but not sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9535, June 8 at 0637, RHC Spanish S9+10, unusual for this one

usual. But EiBi already shows it irr. at 05-07. YL with sports news
including béisbol (WORLD OF RADIO 2194)

Speaking of which, The Other Side:

Cuban baseball, also in danger of extinction
Where else in the world is it possible to see a 55,000-seat stadium
with 70 or 75 people watching a game of the nation's most popular
sport?

Roberto Álvarez Quiñones
Miami 03 Jun 2023 - 17:55 CEST

No one is surprised by the collapse that baseball has undergone in
every way in Cuba, a national sport since the last quarter of the
nineteenth century, long before the country's independence. The most
visible cause of this decline in Cuba is the unstoppable exodus of
players, who emigrate from the country almost daily. But this cause,
in turn, has another greater one: the terminal crisis of
Castroism-Communism...

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed June 7 at 1819, LRA36 is S7/9+10
into Argentine remote. Manuel Méndez, Spain says it was already on at
1756; 1821 full ID twice also as RNASG. 1823 about early radio history
in Argentina. Still going at 1848; recheck 2003 still but much weaker
vs HNL S3/S5 unlistenable. It`s gone by 2041.

Ironically, RAE chief Adrián Korol was doing a live chat from 1730
which I was mainly following, about SW curiosities, playing some
classic interval signals and taking questions, comments. Maybe can be

** BENIN. 1566, June 7 at 0425, JBA carrier into Sevilla SDR, presumed
TWR by far the strongest Eurafrican on this frequency. That`s as close
as we can get since there are zero Kiwis around west Africa. There
used to be a good one on Fuerteventura, Canary Is which was good for
that; maybe seasonal as I think it belonged to an expat. Checking to
confirm if on air, as no signal direct from reported *0420 last night
reaching southwest Canadian IRCAns. They say it goes off at 0507*
already. The Parakou-Victoria GC path must traverse the entire
Canadian landmass from northern Labrador, Québec, thru northern
Manitoba. I listen intently 0430-0435 direct but nothing. I have heard
it before and/or the other Parakou on 1476 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
