On DX-398 battery portable during local OG&E power outage from 1327* until *1914 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, May 19 at 0031, WTWW is on playing ``Don`t Worry, Be Happy``; had been absent whenever checked last few days in daytime. Off again at 1535 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 93.7, May 19 at 1540 UT, Spanish overriding KSPI Stillwater, soon ID as ``La Raza`` so it`s KNOR Krum TX again from The Metroplex, tropopening into ground level DX-398 with whip only. 94.5, May 19 at 1554 UT, urban-sounding adstring in English, ``Magic 94.5 -- The Real Sound of the Dee-Eff-Dub. But it`s really another rimshotter from far north of The Metroplex, closer to OK: KZMJ Gainesville TX, Urban AC, Majic 94.5, 100/100 kW, 591.0 m, R&B, per WTFDA db (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, May 19 at 0615, yay, R. Vanuatu is back on 3 x 3945, island music, S6/S9; and JBA carrier on 7890 = 2 x 3945. 0632 drumming. Had been missing May 14-18, but now also heard later by Manuel Méndez, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec, Ron Howard. Our harmonic spree resumes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2139) UNIDENTIFIED. 6000, May 19 at 0626, JBA 2-way seems USB - in obvious absence of RHC by this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 93.1, May 19 at 1835 UT, burst of Mexmx over fringe KS signal on the DX-398. WTFDA db has only 9 SS in USA of which only 5 are close enough in TX, but only one of those is above translator level: KHCU Concan TX, 9.9/9.9 kW but religious. Concan, population 100, is north of Uvalde in S Central TX; doubt it. More likely a full-power Mexican on meteor scatter, or sporadic E attempting; plenty of them in range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0150 UT May 20

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, May 18 at 1443 tune-in via Campo Brasil SDR, LRA36 is already on with music; 1453 song with whistling; 1500 sign-on with multilingual IDs including English to tell us it`s in Spanish. 1502 all-female staff named by a male, ``Nacional, La Radio Publica``; Esperanza/Antártida themesong. 1505 YL talking; 1507 temperatura máxima; 1508 exact geographical coordinates. 1509 contact info of phone numbers, whatsaap, gmail, instagram, fb; streaming via radio nacional, frequencies 15476 and FM 96.7 [NOT 97.6, a mixup which keeps getting quoted, published]; 1512 song, 1514 siren.
At 1525 for the record I attempt to detect it direct on the R75 with 30m E/W longwire: less than imagination level JBA carrier; if it were full rather than reduced -- what %? -- it might have a chance vs the S7 local line noise level in AM tuning. Next I switch to the LU1 SDR: 1536 ID, frequencies; 1545 full ID; still on past 1602, 1618+ with music but apparently off, no longer heard from 1621 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9780-9835, May 18 at 0632, approx. range of jamming splatter out of peak 9805 = S9 against nothing as R. Martí is never on 9805 at this hour, in fact on no SW frequencies at all in 0600/1000 break. Something`s very wrong at the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command where they also do not give a damn about collateral damage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440v, May 18 at 2225, NO signal today of R. Cairo English into UTwente. Nor circa 9900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed May 18 at 2210, token English from REE, today`s feature with Amy Egan about the Eurovision Song Contest won by Ukraine, also with other entries such as Spain`s. VG into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.021, May 18 at 2225, VOT English, S9+40 into UTwente with some hum, just concluding the `Feeling Supreme` theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2138 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday May 17 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9/+20 into Maryland SDR and no jamming audible; also have UTwente running way outside target area and no signal there, just clicking. At 2258 direct, 9955 is S9+10/20 and jamming is building for the 2300 Radio Libertad until 2400: but at 2325 fill music is playing. WOR also confirmed at new time of Tuesday May 17 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/20 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed Wednesday May 18 at approx. 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490v, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR minus 70 Hz = 7489.93. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html For these noncommercial services, voluntary financial support is much appreciated, by MO check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or via PayPal not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Slight correxions to 5130 Radio Angela report May 17: [...] At 0200 starts `Marion`s Attic`. We have now escaped CODAR QRM and the uteblaaps! No QRM to 5130, but still some storm crashes inevitably in spring/summer. Yet listenable, and better than the original 7490v airing too early direct at 21 UT Sundays. 0300 next show is `Bluegrass State of Mind`. Or, is it ``Mine``? 5130 ex-4790 of course also applies to WORLD OF RADIO at 0400 UT Saturdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2332 UT May 18

** AUSTRALIA. 10124 USB, May 17 at 0628, ragchew hamnet of Oz accents, more unID VKs in the Aussie-only phone subband on 29 m, 10120-10135 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 9667.177V, May 17 at 0635, RVM music, carrier wobbling audibly but still exceeding 9667 from nominal 9665 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13680, May 17 at 2001, RHC theme JBA and sounds like Portuguese/Brasilian. This frequency is still missing from EiBi and Aoki tho I reported it some time ago. Is anyone paying attention? 15140, May 17 at 2002, RHC definitely in Brazuguese, S6/S8 but not // 13680. Maybe two separate playouts. Aoki is way out of date, still showing winter timing for English on 15140 at 2000-2100. EiBi on 15140 at 2000-2030 shows French. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, May 17 at 2201, R. Cairo still in extremely distorted English, plus hum S9+30/40 into UTwente. As Alan Holder quipped, ``something`s always amiss at Abis``, but that does not do this justice; rather, ``egregious in Egypt`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SRI LANKA. Correxion to typo in frequency as ``15709.079``! Delete original report and replace with: 15709.979, May 16 at 1447, JBA carrier. Scheduled is AWR Chinese via Trincomalee on ``15710`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, May 17 at 0500-0506, UR1 via WRMI, day 82 of Russia`s war, `Ukraine: Security Issue` in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2138 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday May 17 at 0030 on WRMIs, into Missouri SDR: 9395, S9+22 and 9455, S8/S9+10. Next: 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 [NEW] 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html For these noncommercial services, voluntary financial support is much appreciated, by MO check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or via PayPal not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. ``Glenn, the WRMI spurspikes below 9455 have been going on for at least a couple of weeks. I can hear them well up to 150 kHz below fundamental when reception is good. One night they pretty much ruined otherwise decent reception of BBCWS via SMG at 0500 on 9410. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` as of May 13. Also, typo in my report as ``9355`` instead of correct 9335, spurs heard even next to WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, Tue May 17 at 1930, VOA News via WRMI, and 1935 `Flashpoint: Ukraine` dated today, not Mon May 16 edition which got lost, since 72-hour-previous Fri May 13 edition played yesterday. S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. But followed by another anomaly at 2000, faux-time-signal and VORW, John claiming it be Sunday May 15 on 5850 doing a full new show tho did not feel well (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130, May 17 at *0155, WBCQ IS & ID loop, just reactivated for first time, ex-4790 for Radio Angela. S9/+5 into Maryland SDR reading -22 Hz = 5129.978 as every Classic `BCQ frequency must be at least slightly askew. At 0200 starts `Marion`s Attic`. We have now escaped CODAR QRM and the uteblaaps! No QRM to 5130, but still some storm crashes inevitably in spring/summer. Yet listenable, and better than the original 7490v airing too early at 21 UT Fridays. 0300 next show is `Bluegrass State of Mind`. Or, is it ``Mine``? 5130 ex-4790 of course also applies to WORLD OF RADIO at 0400 UT Saturdays. 4790, from 0343 I inspect the ex-frequency via same remote: the uteblaaps are still there visible on waterfall and/or audible, once a minute near :00 and also near :42 past each minute. One at a time, in three different positions: below, right on, or above, 4790. They too are now free of WBCQRM - you`re welcome (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, May 17 at 0145, NO signal from WRNO which nominally starts at 0100. Also missing last night. Previous report to the WOR iog: ``7505even, ONLY EMPTY CARRIER of WRNO New Orleans at 1234 UT on May 13, S=9 in NY state, two 120 Hertz distance apart strings either sideband visible too.[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz] (wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 8 / 13)`` Last reports were on UT May 14: ``Distorted audio of WRNO Worldwide Radio in English on 7505 kHz via New Orleans, May 14 from 0430 on 7505 RNO 050 kW / 020 deg to ENAm English.

Walt`` Salmaniw, BC, 0218 UT May 16. This is not unusual: WRNO may disappear for nights or weeks at a time for no obvious reason: technical or operational?

** CANADA. 248 MCW kHz, May 16 at 0451 UT, dash and WG, powerful ND beacon at Winnipeg, glad to find it copiable despite HSNL, if no other Canadians and hardly any Americans beyond 341 EI Enid (Glenn Hauer, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non]. 9790, May 16 at 0458, CRI Cantonese via CUBA is S9+40 atop CCI in French which is RFI from 0400. At 0506 check, RFI S9:15 in the clear on this 04-07 UT broadcast, huge collision during first hour. RHC not in HFCC so how could RFI possibly know of a problem? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, May 16 at 0513, RHC with S9+35 of dead air in English, or maybe JBM; 6060 & 6100 are off already; 6165 is on S9+40/45 and modulating; 5040 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 13650, May 16 at 2037, RRI first English of the day for N America is huge S9+50 into UTwente, but absent from // 11850, the ailing transmitter. 2045 `History Show` about a great poet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA. 9996 kHz, May 16 at 0456, binary code, no doubt RWM Taldom/Moskva. BTW, American media kept mispronouncing Móskva as the name of that downed naval vessel. They must never have heard any SW utterance of ``Govorit Moskvá`` with the stress obviously on the -a (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7730, May 16 at 0500, UR1 via WRMI resuming `Ukraine: Security Issue` war summary in English; S9/S7 direct with storm crashes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SRI LANKA. 15709.079, May 16 at 1447, JBA carrier. Scheduled is AWR Chinese via Trincomallee on ``15710`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2138 monitoring: confirmed Sunday May 15 from 2000.7 UT on IRRS SW via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz, S9 and noisy into nearby Noale KiwiSDR; and not on 918 or 207. Also confirmed Sunday May 15 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S9+10 into Knoxville SDR. This airing perpetuates despite axed from websked. Also confirmed UT Monday May 16 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/S9 and noisy into undirect Knoxville SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday May 16 at 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-. Dead air at first, then an F-explative in the voice of Allan Weiner, as A51 sometimes inserts such amusements; WOR itself sounded slightly overmodulated/distorted. Next: 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 [NEW] 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html For these noncommercial services, voluntary financial support is much appreciated, by MO check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or via PayPal not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7489.9v), Sunday May 15 from 2200, WBCQ webcast of `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, music from Ireland for St Patrix Day as originally broadcast in 2017y, rerun of the third episode when they were only a semihour. That should rereplay Monday at 2300. Sunday 2230 restart another episode of variety starting with Serbia, 2250 greeting Michigan ARE where they like hot women and cold beer, as Ep #4. Reruns still as UB is Covidailing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4790, UT Monday May 16 after 0200, WBCQ Radio Angela with another opera on `Concert Hall`, but unlistenable via Maryland SDR with uteblaaps every few seconds. Was last chance for 4790, as 5130 to replace it from UT May 17. If the blaaps follow it there, that will be really suspicious (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, UT Monday May 16 at 0200 I do catch this week`s `Encore` of classical music via WRMI; almost sufficient into Knoxville SDR but a bit of Cuban jamming splat from 5955, whence Radio República has been kaput for a decade, unless BW narrowed, rather not for music, or LSBed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, Monday May 16 at 1930 after R. Prague, WRMI with `Flashpoint Ukraine` from VOA webcast, soon specified as Friday May 13! Skipping the news first since it would have been 48 hours olds. Recall that FPU was missing Wed & Thu May 11 & 12, but I missed checking May 13: no problem: we`ve got it now! But, what about the Monday May 16 edition? Ended at 1954, then jive VOA ID, dead air; 1956 thumb piano music? WRMI ID and more music fill until Mistruths to Mistrust (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, May 16 at 2208, WTWW again/still absent as ``Voice of Freedom`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130 kHz, May 16 circa 1730 & 1800 UT on caradio, and circa 2200 fixed, KLEY Wellington KS still providing air that is dead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (91.5), Sunday May 15 from 2301 UT, KTXK Texarkana (about as far from Lubbock as possible in TX as I misplaced it last time, confused with KTXT), webcast of `Weekend Radio` originated with WCLV, on my last chance to hear this week`s episode on one of the fewer affiliates remaining. After a ToH commercial, another break at 2311 pushing buying a ``spot for $ 3 to support public radio``. Surely this is crossing the line into commercialism, and there were some brief spots later which sounded just like ads, not ``underwriting``. Yet to boot, show ended early at 2350 so some content must have been cut. HQ does provide a cue sheet confirming it was this week`s episode, but post facto could not figure what came out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2247 UT May 16
