Friday, May 19 2023
** ALGERIA. 9470, May 19 at 0503, algo S7/S9 but just barely modulated, presumed Ifrikya FM, Béchar site as scheduled 03-06. Other frequency at this hour should be 13790 Ouargla, unchecked. As with many other items in this report, I`m making a point to monitor before & after 05 UT, an earlier hour than habitually after 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 21505, May 19 at 0455, two weak signals S0/S2 beating with a fast SAH, i.e. CNR1 jammer vs RFA Chinese via TINIAN this hour. What else on 13m tnx to ``night`` propagation as we are only one month from midnight-sun Solstice? 21530, something is here: a Sound of Hope frequency, therefore CNR1 jamming. Also a JBA carrier on 21560.1 but nothing listed and probably one of those infernal internally generated Wellbrook birdies, rather than a typically off-frequency Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA [and non]. 5910-, May 19 at 0511, in the expanse of one minute, Alcaraván Radio is totally obliterated thrice by ``running water`` ute QRM on and off. Never noticed that here before. 6010 Conciencia remains absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, May 19 at 0505, HK3QQ, Bogotá, the slow but defective keyboard-letter sequences between VVVs and IDs, which I would hear any night around 0630 chex. Wonder what the extent of its schedule be? Strangely, I have not seen any other logs of this very distinctive and unique programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, May 19 at 0443, RHC is S4/S8 but just barely modulated, as is longstanding standard for this frequency. Beyond me why they don`t just turn it off if can`t fix it. Also with plus/minus 10 kHz spur parasites but I neglected to check for those this time. No comparison to loud and clear // 11760 in Spanish. // 11670 is also on at 0445 May 19, weaker S5/S6 but decent modulation. 15230, May 19 at 0450, RHC also on here in Spanish, S3/S9 but modulation suptorted = suppressed and distorted. Somethings` always wrong at RHC. The Other Side: ``Fatalities and a dangerous lack of protection: what Cuban workers cannot blow the whistle on In recent years, several workers have died due to frequent violations of occupational safety protocols. Alfredo Herrera Sánchez, Madrid 17 Mayo 2023 - 21:16 CEST Illustration. Diario de Cuba Workers' Memorial day, sponsored by the United Nations (UN), was celebrated on April 28. This day "explored the theme of safe and healthy working environments as a fundamental principle and right at work." This opened a cycle that closed this May Day, also recognized by the UN as International Workers' Day. As throughout the last six decades, in every municipality of Cuba there was a parade organized by the regime, although this time it was held on May 5 due to the fuel shortage. In countries with totalitarian leftist systems, such as Cuba, May Day is used to celebrate the supposed achievements that make the "emancipated and empowered proletariat" proud. In democratic countries, such as Spain, the date is used to demand labor rights (the original purpose of the celebration). Castroism has hijacked the day to the point that workers on the island cannot demand changes in their work environment. May Day parades in Cuba are not conceived for that, but to show support for the regime...`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1684351002_47215.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12000, UT Thu May 19 at 0446, `Chariots of Fire` theme introducing `Arts Report` on RHC English, S4/S7 on this second harmonic, but // 6000 is much stronger, S9+30/40, and nothing on 9700 which is often // English earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 7355, May 19 at 0507, weak pulse jamming vs some talker. It`s NHK Warudo R. Japan in one of its last two English broadcasts, via FRANCE to Africa --- so foolish to pick a frequency which has *ever* been used by R. Martí! Not this season, but much heavier jamming on 7365 which is RM this season but not at this hour. Okiro! frequency managers! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [non]. See CUBA [and non] 7355 ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, May 19 at 0454, Turkish? music at S0/S3, presumably jammer against Dengê Welat but the only other signal nearby is JBA talk on 17450, i.e. D.W. itself via Uzbekistan?; in another failure to coöperate on same frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7400, May 19 at 0508, no signal from R. Vostochnaya Zvezda, pirate. Had been just about every night, until this from Lucas Bandura on the WOR iog May 15: ``Operator just posted this message in the HF Underground discord chat: “no radio pushka {previous name for same op, meaning rifle} for a while now. chinese radio/exciter failed. its garbage anyways, lousy amplifier circuit and very poor audio quality if using the built in modulator”`` and Arthur Pozner replied: ``It was obvious he was not using anything reliable from the very beginning. First started broadcasting in USB mode and later switched to very poor AM and invariably the result was always very atrocious audio; maybe he will find something that is made in the US or Japan!`` The other 40m pirate, Station YHWH, not on 7475 this late but was reported earlier, usually off by 0430v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11740, May 19 at 0444, S8/S9 of rock music. It`s RRI Romanian this hour, 300 kW at 285 degrees from Galbeni for CIRAF 27SE, i.e. France, but also toward N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K. 5870-5875-5880, May 19 at 0510, DRM noise. This hour only it`s BBCWS in English via Woofferton, 78 degrees for France & Germany, where there are bound to be a lot more non-DRM radios; like everywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 9725, May 19 at 0504, S5/S8 in African language. It`s VOA via VATICAN in Hausa this semihour only, violating Separation Of Church And State. 9725 is underutilized, only other being CRI Russian at 10-12. Long-gone is Brazil`s 9725v, R. Clube Paranaense, Curitiba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2191 monitoring: confirmed first SWBC, Friday May 19 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, poor S7/S9 here direct as usual in this daypart but no jamming audible. Next: 2030 UT Friday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7730 to NE [NEW to be confirmed] 0400 UT Saturday WBCQ Radio Angela 5130v to WSW 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0245vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0457] 1330 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW] [also phonecast, webcast][jammed by Cuba?] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW [? no show May 15] 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 Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; thanks this week to Doug Brown, London, Ont., for a generous US$ check to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA, ``Thanks, Glen[n] for all you do for this great hobby of ours`` Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265VV, May 19 at 0459, WINB ID, muffled modulation and carrier horribly shaky, worse than usual, rapid clunking, and into TOMBS, which is incomparably better on 9395 WRMI. Sounds like WINB is about to collapse but has been on the precipice for years. Can`t help but wonder how this affect all their hybrid DRM broadcasts later, if it`s the same transmitter: but I guess it`s not, as WRTH 2023 says there are 1 x 50 kW and 1 x 15 kW -- yet DRM and AM are never on air at same time. Strength of DRMs seems like more than 15 kW. In fact, WINB DRMs in HFCC are registered as 50 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395, May 19 at 0500, TOMBS via WRMI as someone is trying to sing ``time is windin` up`` --- sure, as perpetually it`s almost the Last Day! // 9265 WINB horribly shaky, q.v. But 9455 WRMI is OFF the air now. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1825 UT May 19

** ALGERIA. Correxion: original post typoed 12590 instead of 13590: I have extracted complete schedule from HFCC as of May 12:
Béchar site, 300 kW at 131 degrees from the NW near Morocco: 03-06 9470 & 9500 [alternates; 9470 reported] 06-09 15110 09-11 17600 11-18 21550 18-21 17600 21-03 13590 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2191) ** INTERNATIONAL INTERNET. Here`s another neat little program not only on but produced at KUCO 90.1 and streaming. Many of the episodes are in ``the rest of the story`` style with a big reveal at the end, finding out who he has been talking about. I see that it is syndicated by PRX to some other stations but I have not found an affiliate list. They may be conveniently auditioned in groups of 5 at a time = less than 14 minutes per week. A Day to Remember with Kent Anderson Weekdays: 8am & 5pm {CDT = 13 & 22 UT} A Day To Remember is a daily journey into the treasures of history, great and small. Researched, written, and hosted by longtime KUCO broadcaster and award-winning novelist Kent Anderson, A Day to Remember covers a wide range of topics, ranging from ancient history to the 21st century: battles and elections, inventions and adventures, art and culture, science and spirit. “It isn’t just a typical ‘this day in history’ module, and it isn’t a lesson or a lecture,” says Anderson. “I’m telling stories. Some of them will be familiar, famous events, and others will feature stories from the past that we may not have heard so often.” https://exchange.prx.org/series/44007-a-day-to-remember Details Date-based history modules. Run time 02:45 for all episodes Related Site {with scripts and illustrations}: facebook.com/ADayToRememberRadio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2191) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, May 18 at 1520 UT, BAD undecodable signal from Enid`s only local TV transmitter, K17JN-D with 3ABN network. Presumably caused by DX QRM as there is mild tropo around here per APRS map. Bandscan finds only two other BAD signals, on `open` channels, RF 31 & 34. Soon K17JN recovers (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. Correxion to VOT English schedule previously posted with two typos: Elexion returns: It might be more interesting than usual to monitor VOT today and tonight. If they can make it onto air, don`t expect any Breaking News rather than olds, but FWIW, English hours: 1830 5945, 2030 9875, 22 11785, 03 6165 7275, 1230 15450, 1630 11660 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2191) ** U S A [and non].

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, May 17 at 1936, Manuel Méndez in Spain reports LRA36 already on the air this Wednesday. For a while it had seemed they were on Saturdays only and there was no advance notice of this. So I tune in at 2026. It`s JBA on the Mendoza, Argentina SDR, but good S6/S7 into Buenos Aires, during a song; 2040 talk, ID as on SW and streaming via Tierra del Fuego at HQ website. 2046 music, 2051 canned ID and talk about the silencio at Marambio base, with a brief bit of noise at 2101 like wind in the mike. 2103 noticias australes by YL, but by 2103 fade-out or off the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 5990, May 17 at 0003, no signal into Georgia SDR; had been CRI Spanish relay via CUBA, which may have been canceled, but did not get around to rechecking later in hour. 24 hours later, May 18 at 0003, 5990 is on air with music but can`t be sure it`s CRI. Yes, I can: // 9560 & 9800 into UTwente not synched. 9710 & 9590 are sked 0100-0300. Both confirmed into UTwente but 9710 stronger, at 0158 concluding in Spanish about the Chinese language, 0200 usual ToH theme music, no news. That completes my chex of all previously scheduled CRI Spanish broadcasts on SW, which still exist but without any current event coverage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12200, May 17 at 0642, RHC English again, S9 with some squeal // fundamental 6100 weaker S7/S9. Nothing audible on 6100 X 3 = 18300, which might be possible under optimum conditions, if not X 4 = 24400. No other fundamentals still on. 6100 and therefore 12200 are off already at next check 0651, before this hour can complete, frustrating listeners? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SLOVAKIA [non]. Further chex of RSI relays via WRMI, UT May 17: at 0047, 5850 // 7730 // 15770, subject adoption, so we know it is the new Tue May 16 edition on System F as heard earlier. 0130 is the next scheduled RSI relay on 5800, but instead we hear NHK World in English after a couple of false starts. This had been on System K with the Jan 30 RSI program as heard at 0630 May 16. NHK does not appear anywhere on the WRMI skedgrid now partially updated as of May 12. It does now show 7730 as XMTR 2 at 44 degrees to ENA, 24 hours, much but not all of it duplicating 15770 at same azimuth for Europe. 0300 is next scheduled RSI relay supposedly on 7730, 7780 and 15770 --- but monitored on 7780 only, no date copied at outset but not the Mon Jan 30 show, rather Tue May 16 one with something about European summit in Iceland. 7730 & 15770 with SMTV instead. The transmitter grid atop now shows that, not the program grid abottom. At 0630 May 17, RSI again on 7730 and much weaker 15770, System H with same Jan 30 show as 24 hours earlier and no doubt also previous 105 days intervening, mentioning a Jan 27 anniversary of something in WWII (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785, May 17 at 2200, VOT is not off the air today, S7/S9 with timesignal; later compared to WWV as 12.5 seconds late. Standard remark about inaccurate pipping; on another receiver I`d already heard 17855 Spain`s more accurate timesig. Further chex direct, despite constant squeal on the frequency, some distortion, and too-accented announcers: 2217 `Whipping Piles` something about AI systems; music break. 2225.5 two-minute multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2227.5 `Weekly Commentary` penned by that Jonathan again. 2251 the multi-lingual ID filler reel *again* already; s/off, 2254 IS to 2255:58*. Something`s always awry at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UQKOGBANI [non]. 5130.06, May 17 at 0656, surprised to encounter UK-orientated commercialstring after a bit of rock music and DJ; then Radio Caroline ! IDs in passing. 0701 full ID, sounded like ``6-40`` instead of 648 kHz. Then back to DJ and rock, S7/S9. Got to be a relay via WBCQ but off-frequency+plus implies it is not the usual R. Angela transmitter which is always slightly off-frequency-minus. Was there any advance publicity about this, or was I the sole listener who ran across it in a routine bandscan at a time WBCQ is normally way off the air? Not a twit about it from AW, nor anything on the WBCQ website; one-off, or to continue? Full span unknown as past my bedtime. I asked Bill Tilford of R. Angela if he knows anything about this? ``I was not informed in advance, but apparently they are testing another transmitter outside of core hours on 5130 using Radio Caroline material. At the moment that's all I know. I can tell you that Radio Angela per se is an endangered species if we don't get a significant uptick in financial support in terms of more airtime buys, donations or some combination of the two rather soon. This was a bold experiment but is not achieving sustainable economic results. We would hardly be the first quality broadcasting venture to fold its tent after one season if that happens. Those who consistently complain about all the political and religious programming on the air would do well to take note.`` Here is the complete May schedule: http://wbcq.com/radio-angela-schedule-may-2023.pdf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2190 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday May 16 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed Wednesday May 17 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 minus 73 Hz = 7489.927, S9 into Maryland SDR. Seemed to start earlier than traditional 21 seconds past the hour. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Updated WRMI skedgrid shows an additional WOR airing, Sunday 1330 on 9955 System C. Also, the UT Sat 0130 not only on 5850 but also on 7730 now reactivated System F (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130v, WBCQ: See UQKOGBANI [non] ** U S A. 7505, May 17 at 0653, canned WRNO ID as I tune in but the gospel huxter audio is not paused or diminished resulting in an unholy mix. Something`s SNAFU at Fort Worth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, May 17 at 0704, R. Vanuatu still poor here with BB talk, no switch to 3945/7890/11835/15780 at 0659. Same thing happened last night when I was not monitoring but noted by Ron Howard on May 15 and 16, much later QSY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0009 UT May 18

** CHINA [and non]. A few days ago, May 12, we had news that CRI had stopped Spanish on SW, to continue only online as ``Onda China``. This has remained unverified, so on May 16 I resolve to check scheduled Spanish broadcasts.
17680, May 16 at 0626, JBA carrier, no more than that, like several others in the nightmiddle on 16mb. CRI only thing was sked, at 06-08 via Kashi/Kashgar, occupied EAST TURKISITAN. Next Spanish scheduled from 2100. Monitoring via UTwente: 7335 is on already in Chinese as scheduled at 2054. 9640 pops on at *2057 with music not // 7335, and at 2059, 9640 talk in neither Spanish nor Chinese, but they are joint from 2100, just more different music. I can`t listen for whole hour, but at 2157, they are both in Spanish, seems to be concluding a language lesson. 2200 sounds like same music heard an hour earlier, and now also // 17880, still at 2207. At 2221 now a Spanish feature about Chinese folktales, with birdchrip SFX etc., just like I heard May 12 at 2120: identical? or maybe another episode. At 2313 check May 16, 11855 // 9800 // 9590 with music to UTwente. My impression so far is that what Spanish remains on CRI/RIC is evergreen archives stuff, nothing about current events requiring a live staff and new produxion. ``Hoy, 20 de abril``, she says at 2321 May 16 on Chinese learning, for el dia de la lengua china``. How about the CRI website? Here`s a page linked as RADIO but it mentions everyplatform but SW: https://espanol.cri.cn/audioonline/index.shtml and everything on it is dated 2017! Here`s a very generic 2-hour program block showing as of 2017, Boletín Informativo starting each hour - NOT: https://espanol.cri.cn/audioonline/informaciones/1223/20170922/30430.html?spm=C46183.PbSsQMGvcUEK.E8hury4RDGY9.1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 6000 // 9700, May 16 at 0127, RHC English only here, both somewhat undermodulated with 6165 long gone. 0243 recheck, 9700 now has CCI clearly underneath from Spanish, i.e. Romania as scheduled 0200-0257. How could RRI possibly know about RHC which refuses to register in HFCC? Someone should tell them. I don`t know the total span of RHC 9700, but varies to much later. Aoki does not list it at all, while EiBi shows 01-04 incorrect Spanish, 05-07 English, all irregular. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12200, May 16 at 0643, RHC English, S8/9+10 and somewhat undermodulated; i.e. 2 x 6100 which is indeed still on and much weaker S7/S9; and no other RHCs found on any band. Same situation as on May 12 when both were heard but dead air. And April 18 with disturbed modulation. Not only is the harmonic escaping, but the fundamental is weaker indicating transmitter mistuned to peak on X2. Something`s always wrong at RHC! Also today I decide to give RHC another chance to provide an uptodate nominal schedule. The homepage defaults to Spanish, and under De Interés, a drop down to https://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias On the homepage there are no longer flag icons for languages, such as UK`s for English, never USA`s! let alone words. To get to English you have to click on the globe icon in upper right to get a drop-down of langs. Click and wait for slow loading. Eventually: https://www.radiohc.cu/en From there under Interesting another drop-down including Frequencies: https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/frecuencias same as you get by going via Spanish: also for the B20 season, starting Nov 17, 2020! FWIW: ``HORARIOS, BANDAS Y FRECUENCIAS PERIODO NOVIEMBRE 2020/MARZO 2021 CAMBIO DE HORARIO Y FRECUENCIA 17 DE NOVIEMBRE ZONAS GEOGRÁFICAS FRECUENCIAS HORARIOS - UTC TRANSMISIONES EN IDIOMA INGLÉS (ENGLISH) New York 6060 Khz /49 m 05:00 - 07:00 San Francisco 6100 Khz /49 m 06:00 - 08:00 Chicago 15140 Khz /19 m 20:00 - 21:00 9700 Khz /30 m 01:00 - 07:00 Washington 6000 Khz /49 m 01:00 - 07:00 06:00 - 08:00 Banda Tropical 5040 Khz /60 m 24:00 - 01:00 06:00 - 07:00 Africa 11880 Khz /25 m 22:00 - 23:00`` The times, such as 15140 at 20-21 instead of current 19-20, correspond to some winter/B season, not summer/A. I`ve yet to catch the Africa service before or after 23 UT on 11880, and suspect it has totally got lost. It used to be at 22 UT in B seasons, 23 in A seasons, opposite of DST shifting. How about programming, in English? https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/programacion It leads to exactly the same thing as this: How about programming, in Spanish: https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/programacion This is NOT a program sked - no names or times of specific pgms, but a transmission sked in English and the other languages. This one is undated, but we recognize some frequencies long out of use, if ever, so surely is very outdated. Like 17730, 6075, 9850, 17580. Somethings` VERY wrong at RHC. Things were a little better until the passing of frequency manager Arnaldo Coro Antich, who refused to participate in HFCC, but would send more or less intentional seasonal schedules to Wolfgang Büschel. I wonder who`s mismanaging them now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17480, May 16 at 1537, S5/S8 talk with heavy flutter; can`t be sure if one station or two in Turkey`s radiojamming war; but there is a JBA carrier on 17450, maybe Dengê Welat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 17790, May 16 at 0627, S5/S9 piano and orchestra playing an hymn, the SSOB until cutoff at 0629* with no ID or announcement. Scheduled as AWR French at 0600 via Talata (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 350 MCW kHz, May 16 at 1535 UT, still no signal from RG, 400-watt ND beacon at Will Rogers World Airport, SW corner of OKC. I patrol past here at least once every day or night; first date noted absent was Feb 20. It had been on since Jan 6 after missing as of Dec 23. Here is the info from RNA Signals List at: https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals ``OKLAHOMA NFDD 238 - 1 12/13/2022 OKLAHOMA CITY GALLY NDB IDENT RG LAT 35-17-42.23 N **LONG 097-35-19.24 W **NAVAID STATUS DECOMMISSIONED *** still on air Dec 14, 2022 *** /// subsequent NOTAM says status 'operational' the first one may have been in error /// Decom (again) per NFDD 009 - 3 01/13/2023 - Last Logged: 2023-01-24`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SINGAPORE. 12025, May 16 at 1543, S3/S7 something in English. It`s BBCWS at 15-19 aimed NW from Kranji, better than expected here to the NNE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SLOVAKIA [non]. 15770, May 16 at 0630, WRMI-9 propagating well tonight, S9+10/20 as R. Slovakia International relay starts as scheduled on System H daily. But I can hardly believe my ears as it`s announced as the *Monday, January 30* broadcast! Among other things, about some WWII anniversary on January 27. This must mean that WRMI has got no newer files than 3.5 months ago from this station. Has no one else noticed? Something`s odd at Okeechobee. Another System H time is 0130 on 5800. However, RSI is also scheduled at more times on System F, a different server, which might not be so outdated. Listen for datestamps at their sign-ons! 2200 on 5850 0030 on 5850, 7730, 15770 0300 on 7730, 7780, 15770 5850 hardly gets out as early as 2200 in summer, but Georgia remote gets enough of it to confirm as a new one for today dated Tuesday May 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 16 at 2203, VOT English is not off the air but S9+50/55 into UTwente with accented news. Spot chex while also monitoring Slovakia [non], China, and BBC News on PBS TV: 2214-2228 `Weekly Commentary` penned by Jonathan somebody and read by heavyaccentedess, subject at start about China involvement in ME as in détente -- is that too strong? between Sa`udi Arabia and Iran. 2234 `Turkey`s Geomarked [?] Products`, 2252 usual sign-off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2190 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday May 16 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/25 into Missouri SDR. As always for this emission, Jeff starts to insert a ``World is in turmoil`` commercial between ID and my start. Can`t automation be adjusted to fix errors like this? 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 Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130, May 16 at 0128, S8/S9 of open carrier, surely WBCQ, but why? R. Angela not starting until 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, May 16 at 0648, S9+30 as WRNO vies to win the dead-air sweepstakes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10140, May 16 at 1546 two JBA carriers. Not a known Sound of Hope frequency tho 10160 is; and nothing to harmonicize from 5070 whence WWCR longgone. Maybe utes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2325 UT May 16
