GLENN HAUSER`S EQUIPMENT. Some editors keep reproducing out-of-date
list. Notably, FRG-7, out of service for many years. I still have two
of them, neither funxional, on the table next to my primary Icom R75.
Other primary is JRC NRD-545. I have several portables but the only
ones in regular use as backup or mobile are Tecsun PL-880 and Radio
Shack DX-398. Antennas, besides telescopic are indoor random wire
clipons, Wellbrook ALA 330S loop indoor permanently aimed E/W for the
JRC; and 100 foot E/W longwire for the Icom. And BSR-1 caradio, with
fender antenna of about one foot which still gets amazingly a lot.

Welcome, NS9RC is the club call of the North Shore Radio Club near
Chicago. Our club's web site is: ns9rc.org

To help discover 10M band openings, the NSRC has operated a
propagation beacon on 28.297 MHz since 2001. It is located at the
Heller Nature Center in Highland Park, IL about 27 miles north of
downtown Chicago. The beacon was built from a Radio Shack HTX-100
running 5 watts to a Cushcraft AR-10 half wave vertical. CW message
keying is performed by an Ultimate PicoKeyer. The 10M band is open a
lot more than you may think, even during periods of low sunspot
activity, so be sure to check the beacon portion of the band between
28.200 and 28.300 regularly, you may be pleasantly surprised with what
you hear. Reception reports on our beacon are always welcome and over
the years we have received them from over 30 countries and every
continent except Antarctica. We will gladly send a QSL card if
requested, please send your report to KK9H.

** U S A. 15770, June 7 at 1905, checking now 1-hour WRMI relay of
VOA, S9+5/10 into Maryland remote but sounds like a local: introducing
`International Edition` after presumed news, but cuts to music fill at

`Flashpoint Ukraine` uncut today to 1959 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 7 at 0627, RV S8/S9 with YL in Bislama; 7890
has some JBA talk rather than JBA carrier; and even 15780 has a JBA
carrier, hard to believe it`s anything but RV on 4X 3945 as well as 3X
and 2X. 15780 has been reported by Pacificans. Now how about 5X =
19725? A remote westward into the dayside may be required. As for
11835, Ron Howard has posted some amazingly strong clips of it, you
would never guess were harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0234 UT June 8

** CUBA. 13740, June 6 at 0358, RHC in Spanish S9+10 just before
cutting off at 0359* like MWV on 13760. EiBi agrees -0400* while Aoki
says -0500*. Sometimes it`s on much later accidentally in English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, June 6 at 1502, RHC Spanish S7/S9 but suptorted =
suppressed and distorted modulation; only // 15140 is S9/+5 and merely
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, June 6 at 0358 song in English, VG until cut off
at 0359*. Another station which does not feel obliged to ID at start
and finish of each broadcast! Scheduled is MWV, but confusing
contradixions about programming. EiBi says it`s African Pathways
Radio, to S Asia. But why would they be doing that, rather than KNLS
English hour which is Asian-orientated? HFCC agrees it`s on 40 degree
beam for CIRAFs 41 & 42S = S Asia, altho bigsig here implies it`s
really aimed thisaway across Africa. Aoki does not decide, just
English from WCB; and BTW, V of Korea [North] is also listed on 13760
at 03-04 in Spanish. Bulgarian DX Blog for A22 shows 03-04 on 13760 as
KNLS English at 40 degrees from MWV; while English from APR follows at
04-05 on 11825, also well heard here. It`s also quite possible that
Mahajanga mix up its azimuths and programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4, June 5 at 2214, S9+26 carrier with tone locally
jamming the CB calling channel.

27185.6 & 27184.5, June 6 at 0354, S9+10 carrier with tone on local
groundwave, not clear which is carrier and which is tone. Zero-beating

America's metastatic cancer --- How rampant distrust is killing us

Schools. Churches. Synagogues. Supermarkets. The victims of the last
massacre, in Buffalo, were still being buried this week when another
disaffected young man armed with an assault weapon slaughtered 19
children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. So far this year, this
broken nation is averaging 10 mass shootings of four or more people
every week. The same country recently passed 1 million COVID deaths —
far more than any other nation.

Tens of millions of people believe the 2020 election was stolen, and
democracy itself stands on crumbling ground. Sharply conflicting
abortion laws will inflame the rancor between blue and red states.
Even the supposedly nonpartisan Supreme Court has split along the
seams, with justices openly expressing scorn and suspicion of the
enemy faction.

These are all symptoms of an underlying metastatic disease: a lack of
trust. The reason Australia had a per capita COVID death rate
one-tenth of ours, The New York Times recently reported, is that
Australians trusted their scientists, their government, and each
other, while Americans emphatically did not. In a very real sense,
900,000 Americans died of distrust.

Americans cannot trust that our kids will go to school without being
shot. We can't trust people to wear masks in a pandemic, because so
many insist they have a right to infect others. We can't pass sensible
gun-safety laws because some people passionately believe they need
weapons of war to defend themselves against government tyranny.

Many Americans no longer trust organized religion, corporations,
capitalism, their employers, or the media. We do not share a common
set of facts and values. We have self-sorted and retreated into our
own worlds, our own websites, social media feeds, cable networks, and
communities. Separated by impenetrable walls of tribal loyalty, we
cannot come together to solve our problems, even when they are killing
us. Thoughts and prayers.

This is the editor's letter in the current issue of The Week magazine.

** U S A. Finally my first sporadic E FM DX of the season: DXMAPS
indicates some high MUFs, so June 3 at 1517 UT, I start bandscanning:
on the south-facing porch only a metre above ground level to minimize
local and fringe signals which are always in the way and somewhat
tropo-boosted in the morning; and on the battery-powered DX-398 with
telescopic antenna only, which I can swiftly manipulate vs QRM or to
take advantage of polarizations; PL-880 as backup but not needed: its
tuning is haywire, requiring locking down any frequency tuned lest it
wander around, and certainly no bandscanning with it. Meanwhile a cat
quizically wonders what`s going on upon his favorite table perch.
Primary reference in the aftermath is the excellent WTFDA FM Database.
Distances are approx., city-to-city from distancefromto.net, not
exactly transmitter to receiver coördinates. Note: I do not count
stations, states or anything, and am not in competition. Many logs are
circumstantial after considerable research. I am open to any
correxions or assistance in IDs. Also, the fun for me in this is the
detail and research, despite it taking a lot more of my time than the
original DXing! My eyes glaze over to DX logs condensed to one line as
some editors insist upon.

88.7, first channel checked, since already tuned as I also use it for
internal RF feeding, at 1517, break in `1-A` show, 1518 mentions Troy
Public Radio, so it is: WRWA, Dothan AL, Troy University Public Radio,
50 kW h&v u.o.s., 143 m HAAT. 1287 km = 800 mi

88.7, at 1523, brief CCI to above and/or Ponca City, ID as ``Z-88.3``.
Yes, NOT 88.7. This fits exactly: WMYZ, relay of: WPOZ 88.3, The
Villages FL, ``Z-88``, 35 kW/82 m. That previously unheard-of city of
51K as of 2010y is just south of Ocala. 1702 km = 1058 mi

91.9, at 1525 & 1528, Moody Radio promos vs KS? CCI. Only fit in PTA
is: WMBV, Dixons Mills AL, 62 kW/187 m. DM is a tiny town of 290 as of
2010y in west central Alabama; that`s 4.68 people per kW ERP. 1045 km
= 649 mi

96.5, at 1530, toe fungus and Tracfone ads, 1531 ``Z 96.5``. Only hit
is beyond probable target area: WAZY-FM, Lafayette IN, CHR, 50 kW/152
m. UNLESS search on Z96 without a space or hyphen, ergo: WZNS, Fort
Walton Beach FL, CHR, 100 kW/140 m. Again at 1607, see below. 1238 km
= 769 mi

96.5, at 1531, CCI to above, Spanish music. Lots of LP and a few full
power possible in US, but very likely WOEX Orlando FL, 99 kW/454 m.
1774 km = 1102 mi

99.5, at 1533, ``Big Country 99-5``: altho there is a little WV by
this slogan, rather it`s: KXBL, Henryetta OK, 100 kW/299m, rimshotter
to Tulsa market. I leave these non-DX in for informational purposes.
201 km = 125 mi

104.3, at 1534, promo for something - ``--- Country`` --- too many
possibilities, but not OK or KS

90.1, at 1535, NPRish talkshow, not OK or KS

90.7, at 1536, ballad. This is one of few `open` channels here in
non-comm band, but always with ACI from both sides

93.3, at 1538, ad for Bartow Ford, rock: Bartow is 17K town east of
Tampa, but it caters to the Tampa market where there is: WFLZ-FM, 97
kW/472 m. 1725 km = 1072 mi

94.9, at 1539, classic rock, RDS tries to engage; 1541 ``Tampa Bay`s
best music``: WWRM, Tampa, Magic 94.9, 97.3 kW/470 m. Also at 1628,
below. 1725 km = 1072 mi

92.9, at 1543, gas promo code FULL; Girl Scout Twin Mints; Southwest
Florida golf ---: WIKX, Charlotte Harbor, Kix Country, 100 kW/246 m.
1823 km = 1133 mi

92.9, at 1544, CCI to above mentions Ocala; 1547 ``Kix Country``,
weather, RaysPlumbingInc.com: WMFQ, Hot AC, 92 Q, 50 kW/145 m. 1672 km
= 1039 mi

Also CCI? by YL from Weather Center; 929 Foxy? But no hits on that

94.1, at 1549, Tampa ad; 1550, ``Wild 94-1``: WLLD, Lakeland FL,
rhythmic CHR, 100 kW/455 m [not WILD]. 1759 km = 1093 mi

99.3, at 1553, rap; 1554 ``993TheBeat.com``: WEBZ, Mexico Beach FL,
classic hip-hop, 50 kW/150 m [not a 6 kw in Pine Bluff AR of same
slogan]. M.B. is between Pánama City and Port St Joe. 1362 km = 847
mi

103.7, at 1556, K-LOVE, praise music, RDS with song titles: KYLK,
Okemah OK, 72 kW/282 m. 178 km = 111 mi

93.3, at 1601, mention Orlando; 1603 ``Coast 93-3``; 1604 ``93-3
FLD``?, weather, Tampa Bay, iHeart station: this is mixture of 2
stations: WFLZ-FM, Tampa, CHR, 93.3 FLZ, 97 kW/472 m. 1725 km = 1072
mi; AND:
WNCV, Shalimar FL, soft AC, Coast 93.3, 50 kW/140 m. Again at 1635,
below. Shalimar is between Niceville and Ft Walton Beach on the
Panhandle coast. 1238 km = 769 mi

96.5, at 1607, ``Z96``, RDS is Z96_____ = +5 blank spaces; about
tattoos, ``#1 hit music station``: as above 1530 log: WZNS, Fort
Walton Beach FL, CHR, 100 kW/140 m. 1238 km = 769 mi

96.5, at 1613, CCI to above, ``Alive FM``: WBBL, Richton MS, southern
gospel, 5.7 kW/175 m. Richton is just E of Hattiesburg in SE MS; rare
state by Es, mostly too close. 997 km = 620 mi

94.3, at 1620, Lake City ad, CCI: WNFB, Lake City FL, AC, Mix 94.3, 50
kW/150 m. 1573 km = 977 mi

94.3, at 1622, CCI to above mentions Alabama. Of the 3 AL stations
beyond low-power, most likely this near Dothan in SE corner: WIZB,
Abbeville, Joy FM Network, 19.5 kW/36 m. 1280 km = 796 mi

92.9, at 1624, ``SR 22 Insurance, 800-665-0129``. First thought maybe
name of insurance co. on a state route - highway, but search finds
that refers to an official document form effective in OK and perhaps
elsewhere. But the 800 leads to MT Printing, Kitchener-Waterloo ON.
Why would they be advertising? Maybe just Tulsa

92.1, at 1625 ``Gulf Coast Rock Alternative`` -- no WTFDA hits on any
word in slogan field, but looking at all in Florida, one has that
exact website among remarx!: WECQ, Destin, Rock 92.1, 19 kW/115 m.
1249 km = 776 mi

94.1, at 1627, ``The Bay, Party Station, Y94-1``. No, it`s Wild 94-1,
as already logged above at 1549; WLLD, Lakeland FL, 100 kW/455 m, in
PS Info field: ``WiLD 94.1 the Bay`s Party Station``. 1759 km = 1093
mi

94.9, at 1628, 813 AC - Tampa, Ray Reynolds loans` ``Magic 94-9``:
same as at 1539: WWRM, Tampa, Magic 94.9, 97.3 kW/470 m. 1725 km =
1072 mi [note: when I put a dash between numbers as spoken, it means
no ``point``]

93.3, at 1635, RDS: COAST933. Also mentions iHeart. Same as 1603 log
above: WNCV, Shalimar FL, soft AC, Coast 93.3, 50 kW/140 m. 1238 km =
769 mi

103.5, at 1639, Macy`s ad, ``Power 103.5, Number 1 Hip-Hop Station``.
Merely: KVSP, Anadarko OK, rimshot to OKC: bet you didn`t know native
Americans were into Macy`s or hip-hop. 150 km = 93 mi

By 1640 I`m no longer getting Es DX, from FL or anywhere, so quit, and
shortly checking the DXMAP, see FL is completely out of skip zone now,
moved further to N and W, i.e. MUF if any is skipping right over OK.
At 1748 a quick check on caradio finds no Es either (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. In between sporadic E openings into the FM band, June 3 at
2205-2248 UT, I get some lower-MUF beacons on the 28 MHz ham band. As
often the case, when CW beacons are audible I don`t hear any phone
USB stations higher up in band, and vice versa. Listings looked up at
WJ5O roster; https://www.qsl.net/wj5o/bcn.htm --- where crossed zeroes
in calls are really crossed letters in Scandinavia. Many of the same
ones were logged June 16, 2021, q.v., some with additional qrz.com
info. Makes you wonder if only a few in the huge WJ5O roster be
currently active.

28250, at 2205, K0HTF/B - sends nothing but call over and over.
28.250 KØHTF C URBANDALE, IOWA # 3W, INVERTED V New QTH 19 June 17

28251.6, at 2208, JBA with a long message. Also at 2227, K#6KE? Still
JBA with fades, also long 35-second pauses: easily missed when
scanning. No VVV or CQ but starts immediately with call. At 2248 seems
more like KE4J#. Nothing closer than this to match:
28.2515 KE5JXC C PECAN ISLAND, LOUISIANA # 5W VERTICAL new 10 Sept

28298, at 2211, K5TLL/B EM51gg, strong with no pauses
28.298 K5TLL C HATTIESBURG, MISS. # 25W, VERTICAL New Freq 14 Dec 08

28300, at 2214, K6FRC/B, only the call. Haven`t heard him on 13564 in
quite a while. Which one applies? No exact match /B:

** U S A [and non]. Another sporadic E FM DX session June 3, this time
on stock 2004 Nissan caradio with fixed antenna, no RDS:

92.1, at 2326 UT, baseball game, but maybe not same station as central
Minnesota ad at 2327 for concrete products, Brainerd. Closest one to
there is: WYRQ-FM, Little Falls, country, 6 kW/91 m. 1117 km = 694 mi

93.1, at 2329, ``93-1, The Border`` atop Kansan: CFOB-FM, Fort Frances
ON, 21 kW/81 m. 1407 km = 874 mi. Right across from International
Falls MN

93.3, at 2334, ``Z 93.3, Today`s Best Country``, Brainerd mention or
is that CCI? KBLB, Nisswa MN, country, B 93.3, 100 kW/170 m. Nisswa is
just north of Brainerd. 1162 km = 722 mi

94.5, at 2337 hard rock f/in/out; 2344 more like praise rock, and
2345, ``taking the stress away from a long day, love songs and
Delilah[?], Y94``. No hits without a space or hyphen. With a space,
only words ending in Y space 94, like MightY. With a hyphen, only one
hit but doesn`t fit format or PTA, FWIW: WYYY, Syracuse NY, AC, 100
kW/198 m. 1993 km = 1239 mi. Maybe not really a Y?

After a break, one more caradio session, UT Sat June 4 at 0137-0207:

94.5, at 0137, C&W, YL DJ, mentions Georgia? Only full power in GA is
: WBYZ, Baxley, Country, Z 94.5, 100 kW/309.1 m - but need more to ID.
1517 km = 943 mi

96.7, at 0139, C&W, got to be Es DX on locally vacant channel. At
0150, romantic rock music

94.5, at 0145, ``Richmond`s Q94`` with CCI: WRVQ Richmond VA, 200/200
kW, 107 m. Look at that power! Old grandfathered station? 1817 km =
1129 mi - not the Richmond in NSW!

97.5, at 0159, C&W music, mix baseball game. Likely Es, anyway.

Nothing more to report until I quit at 0207 UT. Besides all the CCI
and ACI, also frustrating are all the national ads which have no local
references; even some weather reports manage to avoid anything local;
and too much long music trax especially in the evenings (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 4 at 0617, RV is on 3 x 3945 again for a
second night of latest reactivation, S3/S8 with country song (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0122 UT June 5

** CHINA. 15920, June 3 at 0637, JBA carrier, presumed usual CNR1

17530 BBC Madagascar. EiBi shows two widely divergent CRIs now: German
via Urumqi, Chinese via Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 15215.09V, June 3 at 0639, JBA unstable carrier. EiBi shows
it`s DW in Hausa via Issoudun at 0630-0700 on ``15215``; same also at
13-14 and 18-19 -- one of the defective ISS transmitters. Not to be
confused with Gaweylon Tibetan Radio which is axually shown as 15215.1
via UAE, but at 1200-1230 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, June 2 at 0500-0508, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue`, daily war report, by different YL than usual, this
one with an accent.

7730, June 3 at 0500-0507, same for 2 June = Day 99 of war, by
fast-talking accented OM. Both good into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 17530, June 3 at 0642, BBCWS in English about Ukraine,

Confirmed UT Friday June 3 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 with storm
crashes into far-offbeam Maryland SDR, the first SW airing this week.

Also confirmed Friday June 3 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S5/S9 atop Cuban
pulse jamming.

Also confirmed Friday June 3 from 1815.3 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290,
S5/S7 into NW Ireland SDR, on LSB to avoid USB warble. Also via AM
Italia, Villa Estense, on both 918 & 1323 kHz at equal identical sound
and levels into nearby Noale SDR; but not on LW 207.

As usual I tuned in by 1755 for what might precede: 1323 & 918 in some
talk show; 7290 occupied only by the weak Chinese. 1800 cut to Feature
Story News; and 7290 not cut on air till about 1800.85 JIP FSN and now
// MWs. 1804 FSN Spotlite. 1805 instead of usual News in Brief from
UN, into a kidchorus with a takeoff of ``Glory, Glory Hallelujah`` in
unknown language. 1806 some other music. 1809 intro the ``Top 5 of
1949``. 1810 ``You are listening to the Country Jamboree``, then
cowboy song. 1815 IRRS ID with PO Box otherwise denied, 1815.3 into
WOR until 1845 a show of Irish music.

WOR 2141 also confirmed Friday June 3 at 2030 on 918 & 1323, same good
nearby reception as before, and no longer QRM from Romania presumably
due to later sunsets.

Next: 0130 UT Saturday on 9395, as above (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Hi Dan! It sure is. We're actually working on a new website for that

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat June 4 at 0050, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`
which I quickly recognize as repeat of last week; insults to
left-wingers. Never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Finally my first sporadic E FM DX session of the season,
June 3 at 1517-1640 UT from Florida et al.; also 2326-2344 UT from
Minnesota. And also 10m ham beacon DX from all over at 2205-2248.
Researching all this is not finished before I need to dispatch this
report, so will have details for next time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, June 3 at 0630, JBA carrier in bandscan, so I know
R. Vanuatu must have reactivated 3945 and its harmonix, and
immediately tune to X3 =

11835: song unseems ``island music`` past 0636 and none of usual
drumming and announcements at this time; weaker than usual S5/S6.
Manuel Mêndez, Spain and Ron Howard, CA, also caught it back on.

BTW, Vanuatu has made an aid deal with China, which is spreading its
influence among Pacific islands, like already with Solomons;
diminishing Australian, US influence. Ron Howard refers us to:

China strengthening ties with Vanuatu
https://english.news.cn/20220601/b0054fa85650433bb752cf34f5d2f614/c.html

And DXer Bruce Churchill, Capt., USN, ret., replies: ``I hope no one
really thinks that China is only interested in promoting benign
“cooperation” with Vanuatu (or any of the other 10 Pacific Island
nations they are courting). What they are really doing is taking
advantage of total neglect of these nations by both the U.S. and
Australia – in China’s “36 Stratagems” long-term strategy (Google “36
Stratagems” for more info), #12 is “Seize the Opportunity to Lead Away
a Sheep”…in other words, take advantage of (in this case) a power
vacuum when it presents itself. China’s long-term plan for the Pacific
is a threat to both Australia and the U.S., and for those not steeped
in history, think Tarawa, Peleliu, Truk, Kwajalein, Guam, Saipan, et
al., that we had to wrest from Japanese control at the cost of many
thousands of American lives. “Those who neglect history are doomed to
repeat it”, as the familiar saying goes. Bruce``

Remains to be heard if RV will keep going on 11835 rather than a
one-shot like the week before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
