WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES updated May 27
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat May 27 circa 2100, no signal direct
from LRA36, no surprise, but neither into Argentine nor Brazilian
remotes at 2146 chex. Later I see that Manuel Méndez, Spain did hear
it but only at *2022-2038* and perhaps never resumed this time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 >>// 15140, Sunday May 28 at 1504, RHC with
late-starting weekly Esperanto, and extra 15230 has been turned off
already; perpetual totally wrong schedule announced as 0800 on 6100
tho all frequenncies off before real summer time of 0700 UT; 1600
instead of correct 1500, as if on 11760 only; and 2?30 on 15730, an
RHC frequency abandoned years ago as the third airing of Esperanto
could show up on any half-hour around there on any frequency.
Esperantists are clueless about their own real schedule. The guy also
continues to mispronounce ``politiko`` stressing the first i as if
were still Spanish, instead of second i as absolutely required
penultimately Esperantoly. Something`s always wronge at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15670, Sunday May 28 at 1542, AWR Wavescan as sked on KSDA,
Jeff interviewing someone from RBA in Sydney: and 15680 in Kannada is
also on with S Asian music. So unless a substitute site, AWR already
have two transmitters running instead of one following Typhoon Mawar.
Still no 15615, the third one scheduled, in Gujarati. See
https://qsl.net/vu2jos/KSDA_Mawar.pdf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. 9855 > 9835, Sun May 28 at 1950, VIRI English with mailbag,
but very thinly undermodulated on both into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 11710, May 28 at 1511, VOK in English to us is good
S9/+10 with `news` about children`s nutrition, as if they cared; 1513
ending with caster giving his/a name, ID as ``VOK, Voice of Korear``
and into a sweet/saccharine song, ``Our Father`` -- guess who? Not the
One in heaven (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SINGAPORE. 12025, May 28 at 1510, BBCWS in English, S7/S9, best for
us now tho aimed for Asia, site as listed. Rumors have been flying
that BBC are about to close down this relay, starting with WRTH on
disgraced FB. WOR iog discussion that it`s already operating way below
capacity, sometimes on wrong frequency.

Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas, reports: ``I found the Facebook thread
with the Singapore relay closure discussion. It appears someone at the
Oman relay station is saying that Kranji will be closed in July. No
further details at this writing. The 13 degree East Asia beam from
Kranji has always done well in the central part of North America, so
any replacement site will likely not be favorable for us, not that we
are a target, anyway`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 27 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air
into UTwente but S9+30/45. Usual hefty modulation and thick accents,
but no time to listen today, rather OETA ONR = Oklahoma News Report
starting with OETA`s own salvation from the veto of evil governor
Stitt, overridden by sane Republicans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2192 monitoring. Confirmed Saturday
May 27 as the only WRMI airing starting at half past half past the
hours: 2230:30 and on all three frequencies: 7730, S8/S9 into Maryland
SDR; 15770, S9/+10 into UTwente; and 5850, almost synchronized via
different remotes.

Also confirmed UT Saturday May 27 at 2346 in progress on
NEXUS/IBA/IPAR webcast where scheduled at 0130 CEDT Sundays, but as
usual it`s about 3 minutes late getting to the mid-break since they
really insert Feature Story News first contrary to sked at 2330-2333;
which means my last two minutes are lost, since even prolonged beyond
2359 to 2400 when there are two fadedowns before gone and replaced by:
fill music!

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 28 at 0054 the 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10
and noisy into Louisiana SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 28 starting at 0320 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, S9+15/20 into nearby SDR, with nearby storm crashes.

Also confirmed Sunday May 28 at 1355 the new 1330 on WRMI 9955, S5/S6
direct but no jamming audible. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy

** URUGUAY. 28483 USB, May 27 at 2110, CX3AT making quick QSOs
including a VE3, spells his handle, LALO. Just about the OSOB on 10m,
no beacons either. QRZ.com:

UNIDENTIFIED. 9776 USB, May 28 at 0705, INTRUDING 2-way in Spanish,
``cambio`` = over; literally = change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12121.21 LSB approx., May 28 at 0654, 2-way in Spanish?
At least heard a ``dígame`` = over; literally = speak to me. Can such
a pretty frequency be accidentally chosen? Still too close to the
perpetual RTTY mess on 12120, and no second harmonic from RHC with no?
more usage of 6060 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 6016.704, May 27 at 0631, carrier S8/S2, on such a split
frequency surely the pirate Organización Radial El Prado. And Ron
Howard confirms that: ``COLOMBIA. 6016.68, pirate station -
Organización Radial El Prado (thanks again to Rafael Rodríguez R.
[Colombia] for the ID), 0550+ UT, May 27 (Saturday). LA songs;
frequent, brief announcer; 0632, ended audio (open carrier/dead air);
transmitter off at 0634; no choral National Anthem before going off
today; poor reception. This station seems to favor weekend
broadcasting?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, May 27 at 0635, no signal from HK3QQ, which had
been regular and not always relogged, purveying partly erroneous
keyboard letters slowly in sequence. Nor any Oz hams on USB now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, May 27 at 0644, RHC English, S9/+10 with some squeal.
All the 6`s are off so also their possible harmonix. This fundamental
in Spanish is supposed to turn off much earlier. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. Re 15680, the only KSDA frequency I have been hearing on air
until 1600, Jose Jacob, India, has monitored the complete schedule and
confirmed only one at all times, two others missing: ``LATEST
monitored schedule of KSDA Adventist World Radio, Guam after Cyclone
Mawar damaged the area is in
https://qsl.net/vu2jos/KSDA_Mawar.pdf
-- Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS`` on the WOR iog
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. Re KTWR missing all frequencies since Mawar, John the VORW
reports to WOR iog: ``I found this on the TWR Facebook Page - in
regards to the status of KTWR, it reads as follows:

"Typhoon Mawar has left the Pacific island of Guam, and as we’ve
shared previously, TWR staff and their families stayed safe.

However, damage to the facilities of KTWR, our shortwave station on
the island, was worse than originally believed, and members of our TWR
family on Guam are in the midst of a difficult situation. Challenging
days lie ahead, and your prayer support is greatly needed.

Grant Hodgins, station director at KTWR, and two key members of the
team were able to reach the station on Thursday morning. Although it
was still too windy for a close inspection, it was apparent that all
five of our antennas sustained damage, Hodgens reported.

KTWR uses shortwave signals to reach a large swath of Asia with the
gospel message, and because of the nature of shortwave, the programs
are aired at night. But for the third night in a row, KTWR was unable
to broadcast on Thursday night.

The team planned to regather at 9 a.m. Friday – 7 p.m. Thursday in the
Eastern U.S. – to determine next steps. A key issue will be Antenna 1,
which is a total loss, Hodgins said.

The families of TWR personnel are all accounted for and are doing
okay. Still, most have no power or water. Staff on Thursday were
focused primarily on caring for their families.

To be sure, the impact could have been much worse. As the typhoon
approached Guam, the southern section that includes KTWR was in line
for a direct hit. We asked for prayer, you responded, and we watched
in wonder as our Father pushed the storm northward at the last minute.
We sustained a glancing blow instead of a direct hit.

But a glancing blow from a Category 4 storm is a serious matter.
Please continue to be in prayer for our TWR family on Guam and the
173,000 residents of the island, all of whom have been affected.
Please also pray that we’ll soon be able to resume programming to the
listeners across Asia for whom TWR is a spiritual lifeline."

Included in the post is a photograph of a damaged antenna.

All the best, John, Orlando, Florida`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7400, May 27 circa 0630, still no signal from pirate
R. Vostochnaya Zvezda. Lucas Bandura updates the WOR iog about this
May 27:

``Re: [WOR] Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda 7400 AM off air --- The operator
has built another a transmitter for 7400 kHz. He is running it into a
dummy load for now to test it. His latest message on the HF
Underground discord was “anyone know if it is normal that the audio is
quieter than normal when running into a dummy load? for AM mode. just
doing some final tests now before going on air. need to make sure
everything works properly.”

He was originally going to use 4 MHz, which I said would be pointless
due to the poor range (he was barely heard when he was using 4015
USB). He also considered 13.95 MHz for broadcasting to Japan, but he
doesn’t have a transmitter for that frequency right now. He changed
his station name to Kawaii FM (FMのかわいい) and the new format will be
Japanese music.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2192 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday May 27 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10 direct but with heavy
storm noise level [HSNL]. And still not on 7730. I also check some
remotes: New Hampshire has continuous ute roar atop 5850 and not on
5845 or 5855! None such audible direct or into Missouri SDR.

I was about to remark that the R. Angela WBCQ airing UT Sats at 0400
was always right on time --- but not tonight. On 5130 -23 Hz -
5129.977 into Maryland SDR, `FTIOM` is running late until WOR can
start at 0406 May 27. Glad we still made it on, but not glad
transmitter cut off at 0432*, 3 minutes before I could finish. What
was the problem. UB Tilford replies: ``Had to reload broadcast file
into the system due to an upload glitch, whole broadcast started late.
System unfortunately went off at normal cutoff time. Sorry about
that.``

** OKLAHOMA. Re: [WOR] Lawmakers Override Gov. Stitt's Veto, Extend
OETA Contract
--- another version:

https://www.enidnews.com/news/veto-overrides-save-oeta-tribal-regalia-rights/article_8e5739f0-fb64-11ed-87ab-63d0ee73852b.html#tncms-source=article-nav-prev

``Veto overrides save OETA, tribal regalia rights
Janelle Stecklein | CNHI Oklahoma 3 hrs ago

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma lawmakers overrode 13 of the governor’s
vetoes on Thursday, including those dealing with tribal regalia and
the state’s lone public television station.

Lawmakers noted they had a smorgasbord of bills to choose from, as
Gov. Kevin Stitt had been unusually heavy-handed with his vetoes,
already rejecting 46 pieces of legislation as of Thursday morning.

Legislators were able to garner enough support in both chambers to
override 13 of those vetoes, turning the legislation into law. After
their vetoes, among other things, Oklahomans will have:

• Continued access to OETA, the state’s public broadcaster, which was
at risk of closure after Stitt questioned the long-term strategic
value of the station.

• A state name, image and likeness (NIL) law for collegiate athletes
and universities.

• New protections in law for Native students who want to wear tribal
regalia at public school graduation ceremonies.

• University of Kansas license plates.

• A new makeup of the state’s turnpike authority oversight board.

Many other pieces of legislation made it partway through the veto
process. Lawmakers theoretically could consider addition overrides on
the final day of session Friday as they pass legislation finalizing
the state’s budget.

State Sen. Casey Murdock, R-Felt, said two of his bills were victims
of the political process. He was pushing to overturn Stitt’s vetoes
related to invasive species and protective orders for children.

“It’s not a fun task to override a governor’s veto,” Murdock said. “I
don’t take any pleasure in having to make this vote. I do it solemnly,
but it needed to happen.”

He said having to correct the mistakes made by another Republican is
not fun.

“Usually in the end, we make the right decisions here,” he said.

Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton celebrated the Legislature’s veto
override of Senate Bill 429, which enshrines into law Native students’
right to wear tribal regalia at graduation ceremonies.

“This measure should not have been controversial,” he said in a
statement. “It has no costs for schools and expands students’ rights
to honor their heritage. We look forward to seeing members of our
tribe and others honor their heritage at important moments in their
lives.”

State Rep. Trish Ranson, D-Stillwater, said 46 Stitt vetoes this year
seems like a lot, but some were related to budget fights and were
“another example of the dysfunctional supermajority that (we have)
going on.”

House legislators Thursday let stand most of the 20 vetoes Stitt made
on fellow Republicans’ bills after he became frustrated by their lack
of action on his tax and education priorities.

State Rep. Kevin McDugle, R-Broken Arrow, said the governor understood
a lot of his vetoes related to the budget fight would be overridden,
but they left House members confused over whether Stitt thought the
legislation was sound policy.

“The difficult thing when that’s done in this process is, you really
don’t know what he really wanted to override and what he didn’t,”
McDugle said. “So it makes it a little bit difficult to try and
decipher that when there’s so many of them.”

Support local journalism.``

{related: note that appointed by Stitt, Supt. Ryan Walters, who has
been making a lot of enemies, even among Republicans, by his extremist
views and axions, ex-officio sits on the OETA board. Since Stitt`s
veto, we noticed that OETA stepped up its self-promotion without
directly confronting Stitt -- gh}

``Education video prompts outrage, tears among educators
Janelle Stecklein | CNHI Oklahoma 6 hrs ago

https://www.enidnews.com/news/education-video-prompts-outrage-tears-among-educators/article_991b816a-fb47-11ed-95d8-83f50fe030f6.html#tncms-source=article-nav-next

OKLAHOMA CITY — Teachers fled a state meeting in tears and stood in a
hallway shaking and crying after the state superintendent Thursday,
May 25, 2023, unveiled a “propaganda” video that educators viewed as a
threat to their safety and livelihoods.

Superintendent Ryan Walters’ team later sent the media a link to the
full video and posted it to the state Department of Education website,
but then swiftly barred everyone from viewing it by setting it to
private. Walters’ team promised to send a “fresh version,” but over
two hours later, the video remained unavailable.

State education officials also aired an abridged version of the
several minutes-long video at the monthly state Board of Education
meeting, but inexplicably muted the audio for those trying to watch
the at-capacity meeting remotely.

The video features Fox News interviews of Walters discussing teachers
and teacher unions interspersed with a randomly selected mix of
National Education Association speaker clips. It included interviews
with people, whom educators didn’t think were from Oklahoma, and talk
of “The Young Adult Experience,” as well as blurred graphic and
pornographic images.

It ends with the message: “We can save education. Our kids are
counting on it.”

“There were tears,” said Allyson Helm, an Oklahoma City Public Schools
teacher who attended the meeting. “People were shaking and devastated
by these remarks. And it is nothing less than propaganda. It reminds
me of a wartime propaganda video.”

Helm, a registered Republican voter, said State Department of
Education officials tried to draw an insulting correlation between
pedophiles and pornography and educators, she said.

“I taught anatomy and physiology and high school biology for 10 years,
and I didn’t talk about sex as much as these people at the State
Department (of Education) do,” she said.

She also said Walters appeared to be attempting to indoctrinate the
public to his views.

Walters did not respond to a request for comment about whether it was
appropriate to use state resources to make the video or if it was
intended to make educators and parents feel unsafe.

Ashley Daly, a parent of a Tulsa Public Schools first-grader, said the
video was “very upsetting.”

“It made me worry that there are some people who are already feeling
upset, (and) it’ll radicalize them and maybe make them do something
really dangerous in our schools,” she said. “Our schools aren’t full
of the awful people that Ryan Walters makes them sound like they
are.”

She said it’s “terrifying as a parent” that Walters is using rhetoric
that could cause someone to shoot children or teachers, when he’s
supposed to be caring for and protecting them.

Daly, who attended the public meeting, said 90% of Oklahomans send
their children to public schools, and if parents really thought
teachers were “terrorists or pedophiles,” they wouldn’t send their
children there.

Jami Jackson-Cole, a Duncan Public Schools teacher, said she started
crying part way through the video because her first thought was “this
is fixin’ to get someone killed.” She said the video was beyond
outrageous and indicated that Walters is “coming after teachers.”

“There’s no doubt in my mind that if you’re not falling right along in
line with everything he says, he’s coming to get ya,” said
Jackson-Cole. “And we can’t have that. We are in a teacher shortage
right now.”

She was so upset she left the meeting room, then encountered more
teachers outside, also crying. They told her, “It is putting a target
on us.”

“There’s enough crazy people in this world,” Jackson-Cole said. “We
don’t need that. So it was beyond vile and reproach. Just horrible.”

State Rep. Mark McBride, R-Moore, said he watched a little bit of the
video after people contacted him outraged, but hadn’t been able to
finish it. Walters already had set it to private.

“You just can’t go around calling people terrorists and things like
that,” he said. “I think that (with) this conduct we’re losing that
professionalism in all of this. The hatred, the fear mongering that
goes along with all this is just not the way we should be doing
things.”

Greg Hardison, CA, comments: ``Judging by this list of issues, I would
surmise this Gov. Stitt either has the brains of a tennis ball, or in
my untrained opinion, has some serious personal problems to work out,
preferably somewhere other than the state's constituency. How and why
do these lousy excuses for human beings continue to be elected to
power?`` (via gh, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri May 26 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG

Sorry, not interested. Is there nothing more important to report from
Spain happening in the last biday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6165.003, May 26 at *0259, VOT cuts on with IS, S9/+10 into
UTwente, off the back of ME beam, and also on by 0300 is much stronger
7275.006, S9+25/35 off the front on way to N America. So Emirler is
still funxional even with two transmitters, despite AWOL 11785 at
22-23 three days in a row so far. Usual s/on by heavy-accentedess with
jumbled, incomplete English schedule. 7275 is quite loud and enough
signal to justify opening up bandwidth to 9 kHz, but audio remains
lo-fi, down in a barrel? After skipping the news, further notes: 0312,
`with you every hour` promo. 0317, travelog about a city on the Black
Sea. Music breaks in between. 0326, multi-lingual ID filler reel.
0333, `Did You Know That` but I give up trying to understand her.
0348, another promo. 0352 usual s/off with incomplete, jumbled sked.
0353, IS. 0356, pause and restart IS until 0358*. I was expecting IDs
in Malay which follows at 0400 on another frequency but none heard
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

*** TURKEY. 11785, May 26 at 2159, VOT English is back on the air
after missing a triday; I seriously doubt there were any apology or
explanation, but of course I cannot possibly listen to and understand
every word they are saying. Monitoring direct today at S9/S5 with some
increasing ACI from 11780 Brasil; usual heavy modulation but lo-fi
audio. After news, 2212 `Weekly Analysis`, about the elexion and
impending second round = runoff coming May 28, alleges that only
Erdogan can solve Turkey`s economic and other problems [so why hasn`t
he, already?]. Besides music breaks: 2224-2226 multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2235 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` about irritable bowel
syndrome, a repeat until 2241. 2251 `Did You Know That`, too accented
to understand. 2253 s/off with perpetual defects - no doubt the same
recording as ever; 2255 fragment of IS and off* Something`s always

** OKLAHOMA. Lawmakers Override Gov. Stitt's Veto, Extend OETA
Contract
Thursday, May 25th 2023, 4:05 pm By: Haley Weger {with audiovideo}

https://www.news9.com/story/646fcee6aac85008de01f309/lawmakers-override-gov-stitts-veto-extend-oeta-contract

Lawmakers are using the final days of the legislative session to
override Gov. Kevin Stitt’s vetoes. One of the vetoes: to extend the
contract for OETA to continue operating until 2026.

The override ensures that the continuation of the only public TV
station in Oklahoma, which was a big goal of the state legislature
this year.
Both the Oklahoma House and Senate decided to override the governor’s
veto for the OETA bill on Thursday. A bipartisan effort in both
chambers.

The governor vetoed the House bill that would continue funding OETA
earlier this month.

Stitt called OETA an outdated system saying, “I don’t think Oklahomans
want to use their tax dollars to indoctrinate kids."

The governor’s office sent News 9 a list of shows that Stitt deemed
“inappropriate content,” including an episode of “Clifford the Big Red
Dog” that featured the topic of gay marriage.

Lawmakers override Stitt's vetoes, including OETA legislation

The Oklahoma Legislature fired back at Gov. Kevin Stitt's veto
authority on Thursday, ensuring the continued survival of OETA and
criticizing the governor's "tantrum" earlier this session that led to
20 bills being vetoed.

Cheers broke out in the Oklahoma House of Representatives as lawmakers
approved the bill that reauthorizes OETA as a state entity for at
least another three years. The Senate added its override vote a few
hours later.

In his veto of House Bill 2820 last month, Stitt said he questioned
the public broadcaster's value to the state. He later claimed OETA
"overly sexualizes" children and indoctrinates them.

Asked for proof, he pointed to news programs that discussed
transgender issues and scripted programming that acknowledges the
existence of LGBTQ people.

Thirteen bills were pressed into law Thursday as lawmakers spent hours
undoing the governor's decisions. Some had pointed words for the
governor.

State Sen. Julie Daniels, R-Bartlesville, said Stitt "ignored the
authority of the Legislature" when he vetoed a bill to reauthorize the
board that oversees licensed architects and interior designers.

Stitt also showed "no logical reason or rational thinking" when
vetoing a bill that corrected an error in previously adopted
legislation, said state Sen. Todd Gollihare, R-Kellyville.

During the months-long legislative fight over how to give families a
tax credit for sending their child to private school, the governor
vetoed 20 unrelated Senate bills as retribution for not yet adopting
his tax cut and education plans.

"We're not even dealing with a policy bill, yet here we are today
taking up the time of the Senate to address a veto message that
appears to me to be nothing more than a tantrum," said state Sen.
Chuck Hall, R-Perry.

Senate Floor Leader Greg McCortney referred to the bills as the
"tantrum 20."

"During a recent tantrum, the chief executive of the state indicated
that he did not think it was important for hospice patients who reside
in nursing homes to have quick access to pain medication," said
McCortney, R-Ada, referring to the veto of Senate Bill 249.

Between the House and Senate, lawmakers considered veto overrides on
nearly three dozen bills Thursday, but only 13 were overridden by both
chambers. In total, 32 out of the 46 bills vetoed this year remain in
jeopardy, including legislation on victim protective orders,
McCortney's bill on hospice medicine and modifications to assistance
programs for state employees and disabled Oklahomans.

House lawmakers sustained the governor's veto on legislation that
could have made it more costly to defend against SLAPP lawsuits, or
strategic lawsuits against public participation.

Vetoes on the following bills were overridden by both chambers on
Thursday. Lawmakers will meet again Friday, leaving time for
additional overrides if leadership bring them to the floor.

SB 299: Re-creates the Oklahoma Advisory Council on Indian
Education
SB 429: Allows students to wear tribal regalia during graduation
