** CHINA. 9900.000, May 29 at 2313, UTwente gets a noisy open carrier
at S9, frequency precise, suspect Cairo, Portuguese service sked till
2330. But at 2316 a trace of talk emerges, in Chinese! So CNR1 jammer
vs RTI also sked at 22-24. And this goes off at 2400* sharp (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15920, May 28 at 2210, CNR1 jammer at S0/S3 slightly
stronger than another one on 14920 among few sigs circum19mb. Both in
Aoki as jammed Sound of Hope frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 13840v, May 29 at 0543, talk in French mentioning Osaka;
trying to measure, I can hear it varying slightly in real time, at one
point on 13840.109. Typical behaviour of defective Issoudun
transmitter, and confirmed as such with NHK relay in French at
0530-0550 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15440, UT Sunday May 28 at 2207, AWR Wavescan with Ray about
Maldives, at S3/S5 one of better among few sigs on band. About same as
15770 WRMI, better than 15720 RNZP. This is KSDA as scheduled in
English on Sundays. Jose Jacob had not checked this daypart for which
frequencies might have survived Mawar. Earlier it had been reported
off; DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS amended as has the latest edition of Jose`s
KSDA Mawar monitoring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. Post-Mawar info from Ben Dawson, WA, May
29:
``Glenn, It is reliably reported that one of the Tinian antennas
suffered a few broken reflector wires but that there are no other
reported issues. There are still antennas at Tinian that have to be
completely rebuilt as a result of typhoon Yutu in 2018. Saipan's have
all been restored. bfd`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 910 kHz, May 29 at 1910 UT, JBA signal into
only one of my rx and ant on daytime groundwave, no doubt KVIS,
Miamuh. I`m checking out for this on the IRCA iog: ``KVIS-910 Format?
May 27 #34276 Saw a report today that says KVIX is now C&W
from GOS/REL… anyone on the list able to confirm or deny it? Website
still has the “King’s Vision” logo but the steam doesn’t work.
73 Wayne Heinen N0POH, Editor, NRC AM Radio Log, Aurora, CO``

For the next dekaminute until 1920, I only hear music with segués -
maybe classic rock, but with praisy tinge? Not sure, all instrumental.
Anyway, unseems C&W. Also a SAH of almost 1 Hz or 56/minute. Other
station likely KATH[olic, EWTN], Frisco in north TX, U4 1000/500,
rather than KINA, Salina KS, U4 500/29 with Fox Sports Radio.
MWOffsets has only a KVIS reading as of 2018-01-23 of plus .0009 kHz,
i.e. almost 1 Hz high; so the QRMer would be either close on .0000 or
plus .002 kHz. I`ve certainly heard KVIS easily before, but a check
last night did not acquire it vs the QRM. My best chances will be
skywave before SS or after SR which UT in May are: 0115/1115; June,
0145/1100. Distance: 273 km/170 stmi. Direxional pattern for KVIS U3
1000/1000, i.e. same day and night is ENE/WSW so we are close to the
major lobe 68/248 degrees per FCC, but it`s tight so edging toward a
null:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KVIS&service=AM
hope to have some results shortly, in time for next report (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 29 at 2227, VOT not off the air in English,
S9+45/50 into UTwente, with a ``new program``, i.e. ``the conquering
of the city of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire, by the
troops of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror on 29 May 1453.
Wikipedia`` but it lasted only one minute until 2228. Later at
2246-2251, `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring`` about insulin
resistance. Off the air before 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565 CW, May 29 at 0540, K6FRC IDs only over and over JBA,
HIFER beacon at Patterson CA, claiming only 1.8 milliwatts, so any log
of it significant; vs CODAR QRM, see also UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

Also confirmed Sunday May 28 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323

off last 5 minutes but complete to 2029, immediately followed by
opening of `Counterspin` for a bit before it`s chopped off for ID and
then 2030 `AWR Wavescan #743`

WOR 2192 also confirmed UT Monday May 29 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10
into Louisiana SDR but first 14 seconds blasted away by external noise
burst starting at exactly same time. If only the 0030:00 7780 airings
could start later at 0030:30 like the ones at 2230:30!

Also confirmed UT Monday May 29 at 0300 on WBCQ Area 51, S7/S9 on 6160

** U S A. 7490-, Sunday May 28 at 2200, NO signal direct, not even a
JBA carrier from WBCQ for `UBMP`. Is it even on the air? It is by 2248
when I check via Maryland SDR. Propagation has been pitiful tho SF and
K-index numbers seem moderate, but there have been and shall be
blackouts. Anyway, needs to be on higher band summer daypaths - but
not too high. Even the SuperStition on 9330 is VP altho probably not
aiming thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13550, May 29 at 0542, I happen to be here during a
routine bandscan where there is CODAR swirshing at the rate of 2X per
second, when suddenly I hear Morse code --- not pure CW tonality but
diffuse, starts with WR----, so another CODAR ID. Wish I could copy,
but too fast by surprise and only twice?

I suspect same pattern like before as explored in great detail last
February, per: https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2023_0209_0216.txt
with linx for searching, a full call was traced to the MS/AL/FL Gulf
coast:
``CODAR CW ID copied on 4752+ kHz exactly every icosaminute, twice at
:03, :23, :43 past the hours, WRPW597``

So I`m back on 13550 by 0602, and barely perceive a trace of another
ID burst but uncopiable. No doubt we can eventually get it by
monitoring at :02, :22 and :42 past the hours. It may be audible over
a broader range than 13550 only; CODAR expanse at 0542 was approx.
13435-13565. Another check at 1522, weak CODAR and no ID heard altho
maybe tuned in a few seconds too late. Also a JBA carrier on 13550,
one of countless ChiCom jammer frequencies against Sound of Hope.
Probably there are more CODAR IDs out there on other ranges going
unnoticed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES updated May 27
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat May 27 circa 2100, no signal direct
from LRA36, no surprise, but neither into Argentine nor Brazilian
remotes at 2146 chex. Later I see that Manuel Méndez, Spain did hear
it but only at *2022-2038* and perhaps never resumed this time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 >>// 15140, Sunday May 28 at 1504, RHC with
late-starting weekly Esperanto, and extra 15230 has been turned off
already; perpetual totally wrong schedule announced as 0800 on 6100
tho all frequenncies off before real summer time of 0700 UT; 1600
instead of correct 1500, as if on 11760 only; and 2?30 on 15730, an
RHC frequency abandoned years ago as the third airing of Esperanto
could show up on any half-hour around there on any frequency.
Esperantists are clueless about their own real schedule. The guy also
continues to mispronounce ``politiko`` stressing the first i as if
were still Spanish, instead of second i as absolutely required
penultimately Esperantoly. Something`s always wronge at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15670, Sunday May 28 at 1542, AWR Wavescan as sked on KSDA,
Jeff interviewing someone from RBA in Sydney: and 15680 in Kannada is
also on with S Asian music. So unless a substitute site, AWR already
have two transmitters running instead of one following Typhoon Mawar.
Still no 15615, the third one scheduled, in Gujarati. See
https://qsl.net/vu2jos/KSDA_Mawar.pdf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. 9855 > 9835, Sun May 28 at 1950, VIRI English with mailbag,
but very thinly undermodulated on both into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 11710, May 28 at 1511, VOK in English to us is good
S9/+10 with `news` about children`s nutrition, as if they cared; 1513
ending with caster giving his/a name, ID as ``VOK, Voice of Korear``
and into a sweet/saccharine song, ``Our Father`` -- guess who? Not the
One in heaven (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SINGAPORE. 12025, May 28 at 1510, BBCWS in English, S7/S9, best for
us now tho aimed for Asia, site as listed. Rumors have been flying
that BBC are about to close down this relay, starting with WRTH on
disgraced FB. WOR iog discussion that it`s already operating way below
capacity, sometimes on wrong frequency.

Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas, reports: ``I found the Facebook thread
with the Singapore relay closure discussion. It appears someone at the
Oman relay station is saying that Kranji will be closed in July. No
further details at this writing. The 13 degree East Asia beam from
Kranji has always done well in the central part of North America, so
any replacement site will likely not be favorable for us, not that we
are a target, anyway`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 27 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air
into UTwente but S9+30/45. Usual hefty modulation and thick accents,
but no time to listen today, rather OETA ONR = Oklahoma News Report
starting with OETA`s own salvation from the veto of evil governor
Stitt, overridden by sane Republicans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2192 monitoring. Confirmed Saturday
May 27 as the only WRMI airing starting at half past half past the
hours: 2230:30 and on all three frequencies: 7730, S8/S9 into Maryland
SDR; 15770, S9/+10 into UTwente; and 5850, almost synchronized via
different remotes.

Also confirmed UT Saturday May 27 at 2346 in progress on
NEXUS/IBA/IPAR webcast where scheduled at 0130 CEDT Sundays, but as
usual it`s about 3 minutes late getting to the mid-break since they
really insert Feature Story News first contrary to sked at 2330-2333;
which means my last two minutes are lost, since even prolonged beyond
2359 to 2400 when there are two fadedowns before gone and replaced by:
fill music!

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 28 at 0054 the 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10
and noisy into Louisiana SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 28 starting at 0320 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, S9+15/20 into nearby SDR, with nearby storm crashes.

Also confirmed Sunday May 28 at 1355 the new 1330 on WRMI 9955, S5/S6
direct but no jamming audible. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW
0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW

``cambio`` = over; literally = change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12121.21 LSB approx., May 28 at 0654, 2-way in Spanish?
At least heard a ``dígame`` = over; literally = speak to me. Can such
a pretty frequency be accidentally chosen? Still too close to the
perpetual RTTY mess on 12120, and no second harmonic from RHC with no?

** COLOMBIA. 6016.704, May 27 at 0631, carrier S8/S2, on such a split
frequency surely the pirate Organización Radial El Prado. And Ron
Howard confirms that: ``COLOMBIA. 6016.68, pirate station -
Organización Radial El Prado (thanks again to Rafael Rodríguez R.
[Colombia] for the ID), 0550+ UT, May 27 (Saturday). LA songs;
frequent, brief announcer; 0632, ended audio (open carrier/dead air);
transmitter off at 0634; no choral National Anthem before going off
today; poor reception. This station seems to favor weekend
broadcasting?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, May 27 at 0635, no signal from HK3QQ, which had
been regular and not always relogged, purveying partly erroneous
keyboard letters slowly in sequence. Nor any Oz hams on USB now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, May 27 at 0644, RHC English, S9/+10 with some squeal.
All the 6`s are off so also their possible harmonix. This fundamental
in Spanish is supposed to turn off much earlier. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. Re 15680, the only KSDA frequency I have been hearing on air
until 1600, Jose Jacob, India, has monitored the complete schedule and
confirmed only one at all times, two others missing: ``LATEST
monitored schedule of KSDA Adventist World Radio, Guam after Cyclone
Mawar damaged the area is in
https://qsl.net/vu2jos/KSDA_Mawar.pdf
-- Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS`` on the WOR iog
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. Re KTWR missing all frequencies since Mawar, John the VORW
reports to WOR iog: ``I found this on the TWR Facebook Page - in
regards to the status of KTWR, it reads as follows:

"Typhoon Mawar has left the Pacific island of Guam, and as we’ve
shared previously, TWR staff and their families stayed safe.

However, damage to the facilities of KTWR, our shortwave station on
the island, was worse than originally believed, and members of our TWR
family on Guam are in the midst of a difficult situation. Challenging
days lie ahead, and your prayer support is greatly needed.

Grant Hodgins, station director at KTWR, and two key members of the
team were able to reach the station on Thursday morning. Although it
was still too windy for a close inspection, it was apparent that all
five of our antennas sustained damage, Hodgens reported.

KTWR uses shortwave signals to reach a large swath of Asia with the
gospel message, and because of the nature of shortwave, the programs
are aired at night. But for the third night in a row, KTWR was unable
to broadcast on Thursday night.

The team planned to regather at 9 a.m. Friday – 7 p.m. Thursday in the
Eastern U.S. – to determine next steps. A key issue will be Antenna 1,
which is a total loss, Hodgins said.

The families of TWR personnel are all accounted for and are doing
okay. Still, most have no power or water. Staff on Thursday were
focused primarily on caring for their families.

To be sure, the impact could have been much worse. As the typhoon
approached Guam, the southern section that includes KTWR was in line
for a direct hit. We asked for prayer, you responded, and we watched
in wonder as our Father pushed the storm northward at the last minute.
We sustained a glancing blow instead of a direct hit.

But a glancing blow from a Category 4 storm is a serious matter.
Please continue to be in prayer for our TWR family on Guam and the
173,000 residents of the island, all of whom have been affected.
Please also pray that we’ll soon be able to resume programming to the
listeners across Asia for whom TWR is a spiritual lifeline."

Included in the post is a photograph of a damaged antenna.

All the best, John, Orlando, Florida`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7400, May 27 circa 0630, still no signal from pirate
R. Vostochnaya Zvezda. Lucas Bandura updates the WOR iog about this
May 27:

``Re: [WOR] Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda 7400 AM off air --- The operator
has built another a transmitter for 7400 kHz. He is running it into a
dummy load for now to test it. His latest message on the HF
Underground discord was “anyone know if it is normal that the audio is
quieter than normal when running into a dummy load? for AM mode. just
doing some final tests now before going on air. need to make sure
everything works properly.”

He was originally going to use 4 MHz, which I said would be pointless
due to the poor range (he was barely heard when he was using 4015
USB). He also considered 13.95 MHz for broadcasting to Japan, but he
doesn’t have a transmitter for that frequency right now. He changed
his station name to Kawaii FM (FMのかわいい) and the new format will be
Japanese music.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2192 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday May 27 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10 direct but with heavy
storm noise level [HSNL]. And still not on 7730. I also check some
remotes: New Hampshire has continuous ute roar atop 5850 and not on
5845 or 5855! None such audible direct or into Missouri SDR.

I was about to remark that the R. Angela WBCQ airing UT Sats at 0400
was always right on time --- but not tonight. On 5130 -23 Hz -
5129.977 into Maryland SDR, `FTIOM` is running late until WOR can
start at 0406 May 27. Glad we still made it on, but not glad
transmitter cut off at 0432*, 3 minutes before I could finish. What
was the problem. UB Tilford replies: ``Had to reload broadcast file
into the system due to an upload glitch, whole broadcast started late.
System unfortunately went off at normal cutoff time. Sorry about
that.``

Also confirmed Saturday May 27 after 1600 on WRN streams. No connexion
at first so I thought may have changed, but still:
