** SPAIN. 17855, Monday May 8 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG
into Maryland SDR; sufficient on 17715 for SAm; and even on 11670 for
Africa but with squeal - but NO signal on fourth frequency 15520 for
ME, nor at UTwente. Something`s not right at Noblejas. But not much
else on SW from Europe a sesquihour after an M-class flare as Gary
Pence points out. Of course from Europe`s SW corner, Spain enjoys best
advantage of the lowest-latitude and closest path to NAm; since
Portugal gave up SW years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, May 8 at 2158, no signal yet from VOT English even
unto UTwente SDR. Cuts on at *2201 but off again in a few seconds
before I can even note the offset a few Hz on the plus side; and never
returns next 30+ minutes. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2189 monitoring: confirmed Sunday May 7
at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, still not 909 or 207 kHz,
S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR; with storm crashes from northern Italy
and Serbo-Croatia. Also slight CCI from understation.

Also confirmed UT Monday May 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 but noisy
into Louisiana SDR, starting with usual 14-second external noise
blaster.

Also confirmed UT Monday May 8 at 0300 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 -67 Hz =
6159.933, S9/+15 into Maryland SDR. Next:

southward at 175 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, UT Monday May 8 at 0010, AWR Wavescan, later Jeff
White interviewing John[o] Wright of ARDXC during recent visit to NSW;
S8/9+5 but noisy into Louisiana SDR. At 0145 recheck it`s S9+20/30
direct, more like it. KVOH had been AWOL for some time but back this
weekend as reported earlier to WOR iog:

``I can hear something on 9975 kHz at the moment, just ID'd as "Voice
of Hope" at 0406 UTC May 6. Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada``

``Super strong into Masset, BC at 0421. Left the air at 0500. For the
last 15 or 20 minutes, reception became fluttery; auroras are back!

multi-MB close-up photos:

``Subject: WTWW: all 48 power modules repaired --- This is the bad
part on this control card, a voltage requlator.

All 48 of 48 power modules have been repaired and returned to the
stacks. They are the power modules that $ 100,000 dollars was
squandered by the GOOD OLD BOYS and NO repair took place. Since I have
repaired what the good old boys did not repair, I want the 100,000
dollars they got for no work, at all, on transmitter # 1. Just
kidding.

These are the only 2 burned control cards that I have. They are in the
process of being repaired. I am still waiting on Continental for any
control cards that may be lying around. I am short 5 and are sure that
the good old boys know where they are but are keeping quiet. George
McClintock 5-7-2023`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Still a big tropo blob around here on APRS map, May 8 at
0412, BAD signals on RF: 8, 10, 11, 15, 21, 22, 26, 30, 31, 34, 36. 15
degraded to bad means DX QRM to KTBO OKC. Only DX decoding are: RF 20
KQCW-HD 19-1 Tulsa; RF 28, ION 44-1, i.e. KTPX-TV Okmulgee = Tulsa
market.

At 0431 May 8: RF 36, TBN HD 17-1, i.e. KDOR Bartlesville = Tulsa
market; RF 26 KOTV 6-1 Tulsa; RF 20 KQCW Muskogee = Tulsa mkt, 19-1
still with VG signal; and these BADs: 8, 10, 11, 12, probably also
Tulsa.

Circa 1545 UT May 8, again a tropo blob over eastern OK with Enid on
the edge; but only DX signal is BAD RF 28, no doubt ION 44-1 again

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Saturday May 6 at 2255, LRA36 with
S6/S8 good signal into Argentine remote, studio discussion, saluting
birthdays of certain military personnel; 2318 music, weaker with 15480
ACI; next check 2327, is off. Nominal sked is now 20-23 UT Saturdays
only. Manuel Méndez, Spain had reported earlier: ``LRA 36 on air ---
Speakers today, male Juan Benavente "Uniendo Voces" and female Noemí
Cisneros "Ecos de la Antártida", transmission cut off abruptly at 2023
and returns at 2027`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15800, May 7 at 1457, YL song, S9/+10 with flutter, // 15760
and much weaker 15340 & 15110, 1459 Chinese announcement. All check as
CNR1 jammers in Aoki. Not much else on 19m band except Cuba, making
15800 the SSOB! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13550, May 7 at 1505, JBA carrier, CNR1 jammer against Sound
of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 5910- & 6010-, May 7 0638, both Puerto Lleras stations
are off. Until now 5910 Alcaraván Radio had been reliable; and last
night I thought 6010 LV de tu Conciencia may have resumed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15140, Sunday May 7 at 0644, JBA carrier = just
barely audible: suspect RHC which is supposed to be here in daytime
only, but this has happened before. After searching all lower bands
with no RHCs found. This remainder may stay on past 0700 when weekly
Esperanto is supposed to air on 6100 only - and 12200 of course.
Nothing else sked on 15140 now. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also,
15140 is the SSOB = strongest signal on band, but not the OSOB = only
signal on band, as 15770 WRMI is also detectable, even weaker JJBBA
carrier, in degraded propagation. WRMI must think it`s going somewhere
by running 15770 all-night; as the more appropriate 7730 remains
silent for lack of antenna. Skedgrid shows 7730 as both transmitters 1
and 2, 24 hours of blank on 160 and 44 degree azimuths (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, May 7 at 1501, RHC weaker than // 15140 opening
Sunday-only Esperanto, and still on at 1506 tho supposed to be off. //
11760 is VG much stronger. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17480 & slightly stronger 17470, May 7 at 1502,
only JBA carriers below 17500, presumably Dengê Welat and Recep the
Turkish jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. That tropo blob is *still* there over mid-America when I
next check for TVDX, UT Sun May 7 at 0231: BAD signals on RF 9, 10,
11, 17, 18, 26: notably, 17 and 18 are bad because of DX against Enid
and OKC stations. 26 briefly decodes as KOTV 6-1 Tulsa, along with
KQCW on 6-2, and NewsOn6 on 6-3 - at this time also on KQCW, couldn`t
tell if identical and synched (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Some OK FM logs are mixed in with non-OK FMDX in this
report under USA, q.v. for 104.5 KZZW; 106.9 KHTT; 104.9 KKWD; 104.9
KEUC; 105.3 KINB (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, May 6 at 2200, VOT is not off the air today,
timesignal and English VG via UTwente SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2189 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
May 6 at 2230 on WRMIs: 15770, S9/+5 into Missouri SDR despite off the
side; 5850 S7/S9 with nearby storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 7 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/S9 including
heavy storm crashes into Missouri SDR; less noisy S9+5/12 into
Louisiana SDR. And *still* with external noise blast during first 14
seconds, then another mini-blast; and three more quick ones after
0037: I think this always happens by that spoiler ute.

Also confirmed starting late at 0357 UT Sunday May 7, the nominal 0315
in WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+10/20 including very heavy storm noise level =
HSNL. Next:

** U S A. After two days of tropo TVDX within huge blob extending from
Monterrey to Des Moines, I switch to FM DXing via my best option,
stock Nissan caradio in the cool garage on our first 90-degree day
this year; with fender-mounted vertical antenna only.

This is my first serious car FM DX session this year, and maybe since
last summer, so there may have been some changes to the ``local`` dial
too. Info from the great WTFDA FM Database. Numbers before the geo
coordinates are kW ERP and antenna height above average terrain in
meters - H&V all the same in today`s logs so deleted the duplications.
Distances in km/stmi are approx., city-to-city of license, computed by

104.9, May 6 at 1714 UT, Midwest City OK ad from KKWD alternately
fading with South Asian YL mixing language in with accented English;
even a bit of play-by-play cricket! 1735 mentions Punjabi and Urdu, ad
with (972) AC; 1736 S Asian song. I try searching WTFDA DB first on
languages, but there is a drop-down menu of only certain ones, no
Urdu. Punjabi, Indian and Pakistani do not get any 104.9 hits
anywhere. I know it has to be DFW TX market, so geographically I soon
find this entry not citing any specific languages:

BTW, I still haven`t heard the alleged EWTN station in Ringwood just
west of Enid, KEUC, 100 watts, 21 meters on 104.9. I should be getting
it easily like the 99 watts from Kingfisher below on 105.3. 33 km/20

105.3, May 6 at 1737 UT, YL sports talk, ``CBS Sports Radio`` ID, huge
adstring, none local, including Rangers.com, Navy Federal Credit
Union. It`s merely a near-local from a town where they assault HSFB
players leading to a mega$ lawsuit; and I don`t think it was CBSSR the

** U S A. More TVDX chex tnx to persistent tropo blob over
mid-America, May 7 at 1517 UT: BAD signals on RF 28, 11, 9 and 6. Yes,
6, despite my antenna for highband 7+ and UHF only and aimed SSE.
Prime suspect is always closest full power on 6, KBSD, Ensign/Dodge
City KS with 31 kW ERP, 244 km/152 stmi. Beyond that: KWNB-TV Hayes
Center NE, 11.9 kW, CP for 45, 538 km/334 stmi. There are zero OKies
on 6 of any power. Lots in TX but all low-power or translators. All
per FCC TV Query. Next check at 1636: only 20, 11 and 10 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 6010-, May 6 at 0650, JBA carrier very close to same
about -50 Hz offset as from 5910, so suspect LV de tu Conciencia may
be back on air, but signal not up to par with sibling. Or, Brasil?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, May 6 at 0704, RHC English still on here and nowhere
else, S9+10 but with squealwhine audible in AM mode out to plus/minus
30 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also noted by Wolfgang
Bueschel via remote in Detroit or Edmonton: ``9700 kHz heard of RHC
Spanish likely from Bauta site at 0558 and switched over to English
sce at 6-7 UT -- the only RHC channel at this hour! Only S=6 signal,
like exciter outlet only. 9700 kHz distorted audio with a whistle-buzz
of 350 Hertz audio string approx.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. (90.1), KUCO FM webcast, Sat May 6 at 1907 UT, opening
his anonymous vocal fill-music show after `La Bohème` from The Met,
Lane Whitesell apologizes for interruptions to last week`s program:
material was embedded in original music source, KUCO received no
remuneration, and has taken steps to assure this does not happen again
(paraphrased closely). I.e. the *commercials* I heard twice and
queried him about, but he never replied to me.

Wait a minute: only 2+ hours is not enough time for Bohème. Recheck at
2129, after an hour or so of his own show with Brahms songs, etc. Lane
is outroing Act IV of it, but a different recorded performance from
Rome Opera House, compensating for a ``technological problem``
earlier! I.e., quitting the Met broadcast after only 3 acts. I suspect
these problems result from automation and voice-tracking, no ``live``
management of what happens (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 26, May 5 at 1947 UT, BAD signal starts to decode as
KOTV 6-1 Tulsa, continuing the huge tropo opening as in previous
report.

UT May 6 at 0249, RF 20 decodes at 42-1 KBZC-LD. That`s a lowpower in
nearest major market, OKC, but normally invisible here with 7.2 kW
ERP.
Also all these mostly infomercial subchannels, but PSIP on every one
is same KBZC-LD! 42-2, 42-3, 42-4, 42-5, 42-6, 42-7.

UT May 6 at 0255, RF 36, Univision on 36-1 with PSIP KUOKCD1 -- yes,
with figure one at the end somehow as I inspect it closely. There are
NO virtual 36-2 or 36-3, skipping to 36-4 StartTV and 36-5 H&I as in
rabbitears.info. Of course this 7.33 kW ERP channel with Univision is
superfluous as it`s also on highpower RF 29 from Shawnee along with
Telemundo and Estrella TV.
RF 36 is also direxional NNW which must help it a bit thisaway.

Among many BAD signals May 5 at 1526 UT, I get a decode on RF 20 from
KQCW 19-1; and on RF 26 from KOTV 6-1 with CBS, Tulsa, in & out (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Friday May 5 at 2200, token English from SNR, feature
after news is conversation with Leah Patton (sps?), an immigrant who
picked up Spanish after arriving and now runs a website about what to
do in Madrid, madridnofrills.com --- VG here and 17715, 15520 also
audible, 11670 barely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 6 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air
today, S9+25/35 into UTwente, 11-second late timesignal, soon compared
to something on 10000, not WWV, mixed with music, presumably
ITALCABLE; s/on by heavily accentedess and with considerable
overmodulation/distortion. Topping news is coronation of Charles, all
in future tense! Tho this should have been recorded no later than 1230
UT today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2189 monitoring: confirmed Friday
May 5 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 kHz only, Villa Estense,

from understation. Just before at 2029 an Italian song played.

** U S A. 7490 minus 73 Hz into Maryland SDR = 7489.927, Friday May 5
at 2351, WBCQ S9+5/20 during FKB gospel huxter; 5130 already on at
5129.985, S6/S8 with music; 6159.933, S7/S9 different music; and no
3265v as it`s about time for `AAAWWW` UT Sat May 6 from 0000, which I
then listen to on (7490) webcast: sounds familiar, about needing to
fix stuff, mike check OK, AW has been ``dragging`` due to 80-degree
heat in FLA; discussing favorite Japanese restaurant they frequent -
so now I`m sure this be a repeat from a week or few ago; never mind
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Big tropo TVDX opening continues over central USA, May 5 at
2350 UT, BAD signals on RF 20, 34, 35. UT Sat May 6 at next check
0131, BAD:
10, 11, 14, 20, 21, 22, 28, 30, 34, 35, 36. Some of those no doubt
Oklahoma, but see OKLAHOMA for identified intrastate DX.

UT May 6 at 0434 I have Univision on RF 31 but displays virtual 46-1.
Trouble is, I can`t find any such match in listings altho it`s on 46-1
in Arizona and Hawaii: I don`t think so. Closest 31 is Wichita market,
KDCU Derby KS with Univision, but rabbitears.info shows its virtual is
also 31! Allocation map for 31 has no matches in TX or OK. Univision
website is no help: I can`t even find an affiliate list as they push
viewing via an APP rather than OTA TV stations!! Nor Wikipedia.
Finally I check FCC TV Query, and by golly, they do show KDCU RF 31
with virtual 46. I also inspect the subchannels I get with this and
they match the rabbitears info for KDCU: Grit, Mystery, Laff, CourtTV.
Notified webmaster who says I am first to inform him of incorrect
info. His latest info was virtual 31 for many years. Must have changed
recently; maybe was originally on RF 46 before repacking. My last
previous log of KDCU was Sept 5, 2021 on RF 31 and indeed ``31``.

My STB tuning is further confused by *another* virtual 46 from Norman
OK`s KOCM which is really on RF 16, gospel huxter starting with
DayStar. It`s usually a bit too weak here to decode. Somehow KOCM got
on a prime low cable channel in Enid, 6.

At 0531 UT, BADs on 8, 9 and 10; then 8 decodes briefly as KPTS,
Wichita.

Next morning, May 6 from 1525, we still have big tropo blob all the
way from Monterrey to Des Moines, but I`m not getting any such far DX.
BADs:
RF 10, 14, 15, 17, 21, 22, 26, 28, 30, 31, 34, 35, 36, i.e. just about
every UHF channel not `local` -- and some of those have become BAD due
to DX QRM: even Enid`s only local K17JN-D; 15 from OKC.

Later on Saturday after/noon I switch to FM DXing from the caradio, as
yet not fully researched, so will be in my next report; including some
ethnic radio from DFW (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, May 6 at 0706, RV is S5/S6 on 3 x 3945; also had it
before 07 on much weaker fundamental 7260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9170, May 6 at 0711, open carrier of S1/S4 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
