GUAM. 15680, May 25 at 1540, KSDA only frequency audible into Japan
SDR, S9+30/40. Seems they have only one transmitter going; AWR ID,
Pune address and phone number in scheduled Kannada; 1559 S/off in
English, never mentions call letters KSDA, power as 100,000 watts.
WRTH 2023 shows KSDA has 5 x 100 kW. Scheduled next at 1600 on 12080
but not on air.

Also at 1536 May 25, no scheduled frequencies from KTWR to be heard.
WRTH says they have 1 x 100 and 2 x 250 kW. Jose Jacob, India heard
from KTWR that they were closing down before the typhoon, everyone OK
afterwards but as of May 25 not yet safe to work on antennas (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2192)

GUAM 13740 kHz Trans World Radio (Agana - sic - rather Merizo GUM site)
at 1413 UT in listed Vasavi language, giving contact info, off at 1414 UT.
- Fair, May 22.

15670 kHz Adventist World Radio (Agat site) on at 1530 UT "This is
Adventist World Radio ... you are listening to ... English program...",
man and woman with introductions, hymn. - Poor, May 22.
(Harold Sellers, Vernon-BC-CAN, ODXA / wor May 22)

9320 kHz KTWR Merizo in Korean, OFF air, due of hurricane disaster break,
at 1400-1515 UT on May 25;
15670 kHz off air on 15.53 UT on May 25, wb.

GUAM Nothing at 20:10 UT May 24 from KSDA Agat Guam on 9890 kHz.
Not surprising. 73, Walter Salmaniw-BC-CAN, wor May 24.

Re: KSDA AWR Agat 9890 kHz missing.
Well, my next check at 2340 UT, 17700 kHz was on with Chinese into South
Korea SDR as sked this hour. Of course, AWR might switch to some other
transmitter site if KSDA disabled. Now both KSDA and KTWR are scheduled
to be off the air until 1000 UT.
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, wor May 24)

GUAM [and non] 9890 kHz May 23 at 1955 UT, tune in one of two KiwiSDRs
in Korea South, for KSDA, AWR scheduled to start a new day at 20-21 UT in
Korean. Cuts on air at *1957UT with incredible S=9+60dB carrier, some dips
to only +45dB. 1959 UT my "Optimum" internet drops out, and not back until
2001 UT when I'm on the other KS SDR where it's much weaker and noisier,
but underway in Korean with AWR mentions, perhaps for the last time ?

Since a super-typhoon is heading toward Guam Pacific and expected to hit
Wednesday May 24 afternoon, circa 04 UT. As soon as we got this story via
Mike Terry-UK.

A monster typhoon is barreling toward a US territory with deadly winds and
25-foot storm surge.
By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist. Published 10:47 AM EDT, Tue May 23.

Super Typhoon Mawar is barreling toward Guam on Tuesday, threatening to
slam into the US territory as the strongest storm there in more than
60 years. The typhoon, which has strengthened rapidly in recent days, is
posing a "triple threat" of devastation including deadly winds equivalent
to a category 5 hurricane, exceptional storm surge and torrential rain-
fall, according to the National Weather Service office in Guam ...

<https:edition.cnn.com/2023/05/23/weather/typhoon-mawar-guam-
forecast-track-tuesday/index.html>

I started replying:
I was going to suggest monitoring KTWR & KSDA whether they be blown off
both totally worthless for any LOCAL news about Guam. WRTH Update

<https:wrth.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/WRTH23_INT_Summer-8.pdf>

has nothing under Guam. Instead they are mixed in with other TWR and
AWR sites under Singapore and USA respectively. If anyone can find or
compile KTWR-only or KSDA-only transmission skeds, please do so.
Glenn

Perhaps most convenient will be EiBi database by time:
<http://www.eibispace.de/dx/bc-a23.txt>

For KTWR, search on KTWR, to find it is OFF the air between 1630 and 1000.
For KSDA, search on GUM-a,which is OFF the air at 1830-2000 and 0000-1000.
Not considering day of week variations.

So first up will be KSDA at 20-21 UT in Korean on 9890 kHz.
Glenn, 1833 UT

There is one public radio station, KPRG
<http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php>
and its stream is working
<http://peridot.streamguys.com:5090/live>

I have not investigated for commercial stations. There are many more
utility transmitters which you can find on EiBi by searching merely GUM

There are no KiwiSDRs to be found on Guam by searching or on the world
map. Glenn

I do not see any explicitly local news on the schedule which is UT+10hrs,
but I suppose there may be some such inserts during NPR programs such as
ATC. Here & Now is currently running at 6-8 am. Glenn
<http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php?key=schedule>

KPRG did not occupy the optional cutaway in NPR news at 1904 UT, but stay-
ed with NPR news until 1906 UT. Also, I see that KPRG does not carry NPR
Morning Edition which would start around local midnight, but rather BBCWS.
Glenn

Arthur Pozner replies: Radio-locator.com has 21 local stations listed
for Guam. Most of them appear to have live links.

And Jose Jacob, India: Hello Glenn,
KSDA A23 Schedule is in my site:
<https:qsl.net/vu2jos/A23/KSDA.pdf>

KTWR A23 Schedule is in my site:
<https:qsl.net/v/vu2josA23/KTWR.pdf>

Gary Pence says at 2059UT: Glenn, The radar shows they're getting into it.
I can only hope it moves quickly; the slower it moves or stalls awhile,
more damage and destruction occurs. Gary

So we're all set to follow what happen to Guam and its stations.
SAIPAN & TINIAN with USAGM SW stations are not far away to the North, and
might also be affected. What hath god wrought?
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, wor May 24 - 25)

GUAM News from KTWR, May 24. Latest report from KTWR. Staff are safe.
Max wind gust of 108 mph recorded in weather station on one of the towers.
Getting the southern end of the storm. Thank you for your concerns and
prayers. Lauren Libby (Via DRM India group)
(Thanking you, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS, wor 24)

GUAM [and non] Shortly after my previous report about imminent typhoon
strike affecting SW stations KSDA and KTWR, these further posts to WOR
iog, May 23/24:

From Jose Jacob-IND, to the wor iog; at 0250 UT May 24: " KTWR will be
silent today also. Message from KTWR. The station will be silent tonight
also. Typhoon Mawar should make maximum impact to Guam today.

At 1150 UTC KSDA heard on 15210 kHz but not scheduled 11855, 15500 ?
1230 UTC: 15430 missing, 15710 heard. 1300 UTC: 12055 15505 missing.
15550 tx coming and going. KSDA 1330 UTC: all 15255 15430 15550 missing
today. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS,
National Institute of Amateur Radio, Hyderabad, India, <www.niar.org>"

I'm not trying South Korea SDR until 1548 UT when it's getting nothing
from KSDA on 15615, 15670 or 15680 kHz - as sked.

Nor anything from KTWR on 9900 kHz, nor after 1600 UT on 12080 kHz. Now
that the storm has passed, to discover whether they can resume normal ops,
or damaged and/or powerless.

Details in this story with a 2+ minute audiovideo:
<https:www.cnn.com/2023/05/24/weather/typhoon-mawar-guam-storm-wednesday/index.html>

It seems the eye passed just north of Guam,so it could have been worse for
the SW stations and everyone. Are the SW sites in the southern half of
Guam ? Seemingly for KSDA which FCC puts at 13-20 N, while Guam in general
is at 13-26 N according to a web search showing extreme decimal detail
without specifying exactly what part of Guam that be.

The Northern Mariana Islands were also in the typhoon area so USAGM trans-
mitters on SAIPAN Agingan Point and TINIAN island need to be checked out.
Their extensive skeds mixed in with all the other USAGM sites:

<http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A23&broadc=AGM>

My first check of those is at 2030 UT May 24, when only two are scheduled,
in Chinese, 9535 & 6080 kHz. Into SouthKorea SDR remotedly both are do-
minated by Firedragon music, CC talk is definitely under 9535 kHz at
S=9+60dB, and I think also 6080 kHz at S7, which are Saipan and Tinian,
respectively. So those two sites remain operational - unless other sites
have been substituted immediately.

At 2320 UT into South Korea SDR, checking all the NMI frequencies sked
until 2330 or 2400 UT: 15555 kHz Saipan Chinese on with CNR1 jamming;
11700 kHz Tinian Tibetan only; 13715 kHz Saipan Khmer only; 12140 kHz
Tinian Khmer not heard.

NORTHERN MARIANA ISLS IBB "Very Much Interested In Negotiating A New
Lease" for Northern Mariana Shortwave Site(s).

The Department of Public Lands said the International Broadcasting Bureau
"is very much interested in negotiating a new lease" with DPL for the same
property it's been leasing.

Acting DPL secretary Pedro I. Itibus said this in a response letter to
Rep. Stanley Torres (Ind-Saipan), who was following up on the status of
the IBB lease. Torres had said DPL has been losing out on IBB's low rental
rate. Back in February, the House passed a resolution requesting DPL to
"officially investigate and rectify the flawed lease agreement" between
DPL and IBB, and renegotiate the agreement "and seek back payment for
previous years of rental at a lower than appraised rental value that IBB
has been paying since the lease expired in 2006."

Itibus told Torres in a June 9 letter that representatives from the
Broadcasting Board of Governors/U.S. IBB "presented their proposed
additions/revisions of the first draft of the lease agreement DPL provided
to the BBG/IBB."
(Saipan_Tribune, 21 June, 2011, Haidee V. Eugenio)

IBB has two shortwave transmitter sites in the Northern Mariana Islands,
one on Saipan, and one on Tinian. Unsure if this refers to one of the
sites (Rep. Torres represents Saipan), or both. See previous post about
same subject.

** 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
Dale Denwalt
Oklahoman

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

posts to WOR iog, May 23/24:

``Nothing at 20:10 from KSDA Guam on 9890. Not surprising. 73, Walt
Salmaniw, BC``

``Well, my next check at 2340, 17700 was on with Chinese into S Korea
SDR as sked this hour. Of course, AWR might switch to some other
transmitter site if KSDA disabled. Now both KSDA and KTWR are
scheduled to be off the air until 1000 UT. Glenn``

From Jose Jacob, India, to the WOR iog; at 0250 UT May 24: ``[WOR]
KTWR will be silent today also. Message from KTWR. The station will be
silent tonight also. Typhoon Mawar should make maximum impact to Guam
today.

At 1150 UTC KSDA heard on 15210 kHz but not scheduled 11855, 15500 ?
1230 UTC: 15430 missing, 15710 heard. 1300 UTC: 12055 15505 missing.
15550 tx coming and going. KSDA 1330 UTC: all 15255 15430 15550
missing today. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS,
National Institute of Amateur Radio, Hyderabad, India, www.niar.org``

I`m not trying S Korea SDR until 1548 when it`s getting nothing from
KSDA on 15615, 15670 or 15680 as sked.

Nor anything from KTWR on 9900, nor after 1600 on 12080. Now that the
storm has passed, to discover whether they can resume normal ops, or
damaged and/or powerless.

Details in this story with a 2+ minute audiovideo:
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/24/weather/typhoon-mawar-guam-storm-wednesday/index.html

It seems the eye passed just north of Guam, so it could have been
worse for the SW stations and everyone. Are the SW sites in the
southern half of Guam? Seemingly for KSDA which FCC puts at 13-20 N,
while Guam in general is at 13-26 N according to a web search showing
extreme decimal detail without specifying exactly what part of Guam
that be.

The Northern Mariana Islands were also in the typhoon area so USAGM
transmitters on SAIPAN and TINIAN need to be checked out. Their
extensive skeds mixed in with all the other USAGM sites:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A23&broadc=AGM

My first check of those is at 2030 May 24, when only two are
scheduled, in Chinese, 9535 & 6080. Into S Korea SDR both are
dominated by Firedragon music, CC talk is definitely under 9535 at
S9+60, and I think also 6080 at S7, which are Saipan and Tinian,
respectively. So those two sites remain operational - unless other
sites have been substituted immediately.

At 2320 into S Korea SDR, checking all the NMI frequencies sked until
2330 or 2400: 15555 Saipan Chinese on with CNR1 jamming; 11700 Tinian
Tibetan only; 13715 Saipan Khmer only; 12140 Tinian Khmer not heard

``Oklahoma City is Getting a New Free Over The Air TV Station - By
Luke Bouma on April 27, 2023 in All News

Today Digital Networks, LLC announced that it is launching KWRW-LD
channel 33 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Now locals will be able to
watch The Heartland Network, Retro TV, The Family Channel, Rev’n, and
The Action Channel.

“Our goal was to always have an owned and operated station not just in
Tulsa, but Oklahoma City as well,” says Joel Wertman, President of
Digital Networks, LLC and parent company Get After It Media. “We have
no doubt our viewership in Oklahoma City will be strong, as we know
viewers will love our variety of networks and programming.”

Chief Engineer of Digital Networks, LLC Tim Hurley adds, “It’s
exciting to see all of the planning come to fruition, as well as to
know there is a lot more on the horizon this year for launches.”

Here is a quick breakdown of each channel:

The Heartland Network presents the broadest variety of true country
music and lifestyle entertainment. From classic country out of the
vaults of Music Row to the up-and-coming artists of today, The
Heartland Network truly is The Heart of Country®. Programming includes
Music City Tonight, CountryLine TV, Bluegrass Ridge, Country Fix,
classic movies, and original program The Unseen World. The network
also carries special event coverage through in-house produced series

City, The Saint, Danger Man, One Step Beyond, and The Ray Bradbury
Theater, as well as 1980’s pop culture hits 21 Jump Street, starring
Johnny Depp and the critically acclaimed crime drama Wiseguy with Ken
Wahl and Jonathan Banks. The network’s original program Dracula’s Kung
Fu Theatre is a favorite among viewers, with two seasons now under the
show’s belt. Retro TV is also the exclusive home to the iconic and
groundbreaking daytime soap opera The Doctors which originally ran on
NBC from 1963 – 1982.

Rev’n is a car and motor enthusiast’s dream, with shows designed
around all things that rev. Whether you have a passion for cars,
trucks, boats, airplanes, or motorcycles, viewers will find the speed
they need in series like My Classic Car, Sam’s Garage, The Curator’s
Vault, Motorhead Garage, Legendary Motorcar, and Flying Through Time,
this network keeps the motor running.

Logs
** BOTSWANA. 13830.32, Tue May 23 at 0638, open carriers beating,
seemingly another on 13830.0. Presumably VOA in French not turned off
after 0530-0630 M-F (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, May 23 at 1533, Trenton Military is JBA, at par
with ``no report received`` from Zagreb, Split. Had been inaudible
several days and presumed off altho propagation has been degraded and
still is. Right now, CHU 14670 is also JBA. CHR is again audible
direct at 2227 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9565, May 23 at 0622, two-tone blipping with BFO, surely a
jammer against nothing, operator messing around as happens
occasionally, instead of regular pulse noise. This is a longtime
Martí frequency, but only at 21-24 per Aoki & EiBi; and wisely, no
other broadcasters are ever on 9565 now. Some different toning on
11930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9965, May 23 at 0621, pulse jamming against
nothing, a frequency evacuated by R. República at least a decade ago
when stopped via Costa Rica. Now using 9965 are only Palau on a very
limited non-daily 08/13 UT skedspan; and EiBi also shows something
unknown to me:
9965 0000-2400 irr B Rádio Pirâmide P B xx
must be a Brazilian pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM [and non]. 9890, May 23 at 1955, tune in one of two KiwiSDRs
in Korea South, for KSDA, AWR scheduled to start a new day at 20-21
UT in Korean. Cuts on air at *1957 with incredible S9+60 carrier, some
dips to only +45. 1959 my ``Optimum`` internet drops out, and not back
until 2001 when I`m on the other KS SDR where it`s much weaker and
noisier, but underway in Korean with AWR mentions, perhaps for the
last time?

Since a super-typhoon is heading toward Guam and expected to hit
Wednesday afternoon, circa 04 UT. As soon as we got this story via
Mike Terry,

A monster typhoon is barreling toward a US territory with deadly winds
and 25-foot storm surge
By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist
Published 10:47 AM EDT, Tue May 23, 2023

Super Typhoon Mawar is barreling toward Guam on Tuesday, threatening
to
slam into the US territory as the strongest storm there in more than
60
years.

The typhoon, which has strengthened rapidly in recent days, is posing
a
“triple threat” of devastation including deadly winds equivalent to a
category 5 hurricane, exceptional storm surge and torrential rainfall,
according to the National Weather Service office in Guam...

I started replying:

I was going to suggest monitoring KTWR & KSDA whether they be blown
off -- both totally worthless for any LOCAL news about Guam. WRTH
Update
https://wrth.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/WRTH23_INT_Summer-8.pdf
has nothing under Guam. Instead they are mixed in with other TWR and
AWR sites under Singapore and USA respectively. If anyone can find or
compile KTWR-only or KSDA-only transmission skeds, please do so.
Glenn

Perhaps most convenient will be EiBi by time:
http://www.eibispace.de/dx/bc-a23.txt

For KTWR, search on KTWR, to find it is OFF the air between 1630 and
1000.
For KSDA, search on GUM-a, which is OFF the air at 1830-2000 and
0000-1000.
Not considering day of week variations.

So first up will be KSDA at 20-21 in Korean on 9890
Glenn, 1833 UT

There is one public radio station, KPRG
http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php
and its stream is working
http://peridot.streamguys.com:5090/live

I have not investigated for commercial stations

There are many more utility transmitters which you can find on EiBi by
searching merely GUM

There are no KiwiSDRs to be found on Guam by searching or on the world
map. Glenn

I do not see any explicitly local news on the schedule which is UT+10,
but I suppose there may be some such inserts during NPR programs such
as ATC. Here & Now is currently running at 6-8 am. Glenn
http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php?key=schedule

KPRG did not occupy the optional cutaway in NPR news at 1904 UT, but
stayed with NPR news until 1906. Also, I see that KPRG does not carry
NPR Morning Edition which would start around local midnight, but
rather BBCWS. Glenn

Arthur Pozner replies: Radio-locator.com has 21 local stations listed
for Guam. Most of them appear to have live links.

And Jose Jacob, India: Hello Glenn,
KSDA A23 Schedule is in my site:
https://qsl.net/vu2jos/A23/KSDA.pdf
KTWR A23 Schedule is in my site:
https://qsl.net/v/vu2jos//A23/KTWR.pdf

Gary Pence says at 2059: Glenn, The radar shows they`re getting into
it. I can only hope it moves quickly; the slower it moves or stalls
awhile, more damage and destruction occurs. Gary

So we`re all set to follow what happen to Guam and its stations.
SAIPAN & TINIAN with USAGM SW stations are not far away to the North,
and might also be affected. What hath god wrought? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** LIBERIA. 6050, May 23 at 0632, JBA something, presumed ELWA which
Bryan Clark, NZ, says has just been resuscitated. For longtime in
nightly bandscans during this hour, I have encountered nothing on
6050; and sharer HCJB is off by 0500 latest. Monrovia sunrise is now
0627 UT and varies only a few minutes during the year at +6 degrees
North (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185, May 23 at 0633, S9/+10 of dead air from XEPPM as
happens too frequently late at night, when I guess no one is minding
the transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, May 23 at 2203 & 2227 direct, NO signal from VOT
English to NAm; nor via UTwente at 2253 check. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, May 23 at 1529, ND beacon FBY is JBA. This is
my farthest anyday on groundwave, not even from an adjacent state KS
like 332, 395 and 407 kHz, but second-adjacent Nebraska, 25 watts from
FairBurY, at 422 km = 262 stmi, or 10.48 miles per watt, or 0.0954
watt per mile; admittedly shortly beyond the KS border (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7178 LSB, May 23 at 0623, QSO between WE6CW and W6EUG in
non-English except for an occasional word: sounds like Tagalog. Yes!
on QRZ.com WE6CW explains he`s originally from Philippines: WE6CW USA
flag USA, GENER D "Gene" BARBON, 4189 THE HILL ROAD, BONITA, CA 91902
USA

No such disclosure from his contact, but surely too:
W6EUG flag USA, EUGENE P REQUILMAN, 206 THIERS ST, DALY CITY, CA 94014
USA. D.C. is a San Francisco suburb, and Bonita of San Diego. They
soon QRT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2191 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday May 23 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/25 into Maryland SDR,
calibration of which his still way off. WRMIs are always within a few
Hz of nominal. 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:

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. 7730, May 23 at 0630, still no signal from WRMI-2, and still
nothing about the problem on disgraced FB.

15770, May 23 at 1818, no signal from WRMI-9 either. Was reported gone
already to the WOR iog at 1200 per Arthur Pozner near NYC; and at 1300
Tue by Kari Kallio, Finland, when `Encore` should have aired to Europe
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13670, May 23 at 1532, S3/S8 of open carrier. Lots of
stuff sked but not during this hour; most likely CNR1 jammer still on
when it and Sound of Hope are supposed to break between 15 and 21
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
