** NIGERIA. 7254.937, May 11 at 0634, VON is on with dead air or JBM?, S9/+10 direct, so for first time in long time I remeasure it here: always within a few Hz of this off-frequency. Something`s awful at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Re: [WOR] Oklahoma governor trying to eliminate public TV -- some other replies on the WOR iog as of May 5: ``It seems to be becoming a pattern. When these (so-called) “conservatives” start accusing those opposing them of something, it’s seemingly in an attempt to justify their doing the very thing they claim to oppose. In this case, the “indoctrination” canard is being used to justify elimination of expression of any opinions (even though supported by facts) that counter his desire to indoctrinate according to his own beliefs (which ironically are unsupported by fact, but still faithfully reported by public media as part of the debate.) That’s not conservative, it’s authoritarian bordering on the fascist. And, just incidentally, it’s directly counter to the First Amendment. John Figliozzi`` ``Not only are most so-called "conservative" actions authoritarian in nature; they are also appearing more and more as if a large group of so-called "adults" are kicking and screaming, embroiled in an out-of-control temper tantrum in the middle of the floor. How else can one describe the ongoing debt-ceiling mess? Nyaaah-nyaaah, Amerika! Greg Hardison`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

** CHINA. 17880, May 10 at 2226, S0/3 Spanish mentions ``versículo`` so a gospel huxter? Hardly, then alternates Chinese, so it`s CRI with a language lesson; as sked 22-23 via Beijing 572 site. Best if not only signal on band from FE, off the back? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 4765, May 10 at 0125, R. Progreso is back on air after long absence. At tune-in, multi-locations of FM and AM frequencies including 850 which fits, but no ID heard, nor mention of OC tho may have been. S9+10/20 and only -1.6 Hz into Missouri SDR with high storm noise level. After some music, full traditional ID at 0130 as ``Radio Progreso, La Onda de la Alegría``. Rebelde is also on now, 5025 about same signal at S9+10/25. Richard Langley, NB had reported to WOR iog: ``Last night (UT 7 May) around 0140, 5025 and 4765 kHz both were on with good signals here in NB but 4765 was QRMed by a strong utility signal (CODAR?). Nothing heard on 5040 kHz. -- Richard Langley``. 4765 nominal sked presuably still only 0030-0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 28472 USB, May 10 at 2217, OSOB, no beacons either, is ham with DU accent making quick US contacts. Listened for 5 minutes before he quickly mentioned his own call, maybe ZL1AW? No fonetix; then he does spell own name ROSS. ZL1AW is not Ross, but dxcluster/heat hits one ZL contact on same frequency earlier at 2125, ZL1WN, who per QRZ.com is a Ross, and he`s also a 10-10er which was mentioned. I`m not too enthusiastic about this roundabout way of IDing when hams ought to give their own call frequently and fonetikaly. Anyhow: ZL1WN New Zealand flag New Zealand, ROSS BIGGAR, 210 Oroua Rd, R D 5, Palmerston North 4475, New Zealand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Further comments about eliminating OETA, on the WOR iog: Re: [WOR] Oklahoma governor trying to eliminate public TV Stephen Michael Kellat, Ashtabula, Ohio: ``I really get worried by people wanting to rely solely on Wireless Emergency Alerts (“WEA”). The whole alerting system is designed to use multiple methods of reaching people. The seeming redundancy is necessary to ensure people hear the message. WEA still has overshoot problems in terms of not reaching the correct targeted areas. People can still totally opt out of receiving such messages on their wireless devices, too. I don’t think FCC has another test of WEA effectiveness teed up in the near term. The last report publicly released was not a happy read. Politicians need to stop pandering to the crazy base with half-cocked plans like this.`` Benn Kobb, of Experimental Radio: ``"These alerts will continue regardless of whether the OETA towers are there or not, and certainly regardless of the governor’s veto," Siegfried said. Well, not necessarily. Wireless Emergency Alerts do not go directly from OK public safety officials to the cellular phone carriers. That is not how the system is set up. The alerts go first to FEMA for a rapid, automated authentication step. FEMA then delivers them over the Internet to the cellular base stations in the geographic area designated for warning. The base stations transmit them to the public. If the Internet is not functioning at any point in the delivery chain, the backup system is through PBS - but without the OK public TV stations, that backup won't be available in that state. This system is known as PBS Warn. https://www.pbs.org/about/about-pbs/contact-information/warn/ Benn Kobb`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed May 10 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG S9/+20 direct and also audible on the other three, 15520, 17715, 11670. 2205 feature is another esoteric interview about a travelling literary festival to towns of less than 10K only, `Mi Pueblo Lee` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 10 at 2158, VOT IS, VP direct so a bust for listening to imminent English; but at least confirming it`s not off the air today, at least initially (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

** ALGERIA [and non]. 13790, May 9 at 0636, Chinese with fast SAH and CCI, the latter a new ``station`` in Algeria as reported here last few days in WOR iog, ``Ifrikya FM``. In a surprise development, this is to be a pan-African service in a few languages, original stories mentioning SW but WTFK? Since then has been found on SW frequencies until now scheduled for TDA, i.e. mostly carrying Qur`an service.
At this hour big collisions. Per Aoki: 23-09 Ouargla site, but 13790 a very bad choice with plenty of other usage including, 06-07 CNR1 jamming vs RFA Chinese via Saipan; also CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope, 2130-1420. // 15110 Béchar now only a JBA carrier. Recheck much later at 2219 May 9, only weak ME? music on 13790. EiBi shows Algeria starting at 2000, and nothing else at this hour. OUARGLA appears to be correct spelling, not Ourgla or Ouragla! Google translates from French to Arabic as waraqla or ورقلة More about this at Tony Rogers` Africa on Shortwave: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N0T-5Bh704WY8tiUnTrtfrCIl7CdY13u/view Here`s one recent report in the WOR iog: ``ALGERIA: I have been following the new African station Ifrikya FM from Algeria, and recorded 13590 and 13790 kHz overnight from 2300 to 0300 UT (6 May into 7 May). There was overall good reception on 13790 (via Ourgla), with audible but weaker reception on 13590 (via Bechar). Programming was predominantly African music, however there was a female host from 2325 and later a male host, with various guests with short speech segments. From around 0255 there was a promo loop with a montage of voices mentioning Burkina Faso and Sudan, perhaps others) which could have been journalists covering those areas. Seems to me that the station is in "preview" mode and has yet to settle down to regular programming. Worth keeping a watch on. They have a webpage at http://www.ifrikyafm.com and a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090062677320 from where I see this email address: ifrikyafm@gmail.com -- Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` Website is just ``coming soon`` -- La voix Africaine`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 5910-, May 9 at 0645, Alcaraván Radio with music, S9/+10 on signature offset about minus 50 Hz, back after missing 48 hours ago. Now there is again a much weaker JBA carrier on 6010- with almost same offset pitch on BFO, maybe LV de tu Conciencia if not Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. DEBATE MOUNTS OVER FUTURE OF OETA’S BROADCAST TOWERS By Janelle Stecklein, CNHI Oklahoma, Enid News & Eagle May 9, 2023 https://www.enidnews.com/news/debate-mounts-over-future-of-oeta-s-towers/article_ac54ff1a-ede9-11ed-a183-3302c5b897fe.html OKLAHOMA CITY — Uncertainty is growing about who would control and use a vital network of rural broadcast communication towers following a gubernatorial push to sever ties with the Oklahoma public broadcaster. Gov. Kevin Stitt’s decision to veto a routine measure reauthorizing the existence of Oklahoma Educational Television Authority has created some thorny and complicated logistical and operational questions, including who ultimately owns the seven broadcast towers that quietly play a vital role in rural public safety. Those have been maintained over the years with a mix of private OETA donations and state funding. A spokesman for Stitt’s office on Monday insisted the answer is clear — the state owns the towers if OETA is disbanded. OETA leaders, though, plan to ask the attorney general’s office for a formal opinion on ownership, said Bob Spinks, a Friends of OETA board member. “This whole thing has obviously raised some issues that we’ve never had to really think about before because we’ve had this great relationship with the state of Oklahoma,” Spinks said. “We’re really the only entity in the state that can actually broadcast to all 77 counties, and so we feel like that partnership is extremely important with the law enforcement and public safety folks.” In his veto message of House Bill 2820, Stitt wrote that while OETA may have played a “principal role in the provision of educational television services at one time, today the OETA’s long-term, strategic value is at best unclear, if not outright imagined.” Stitt later accused the broadcaster of using tax dollars to “indoctrinate kids” and showing programming that “overly sexualizes our kids.” Spinks, who grew up in McAlester watching OETA, said Stitt’s comments ignore the role that parents play in selecting their children’s programming. “It’s still a parent’s responsibility to decide whether what their children are watching is appropriate or not,” said Spinks, whose own children also watched OETA programming. But beyond the programming debate, Spinks said OETA and public safety entities have long had a symbiotic relationship. The public broadcaster allows police and fire dispatchers to mount dispatch repeaters on its seven broadcasting towers free of charge. OETA also broadcasts emergency communications to all 77 counties and holds the state’s FCC broadcasting license. Spinks said it’s possible OETA could continue to operate a public television station with only private funding, but that would require “complete reworking of the licensure, which is not a simple thing.” “We’re hoping that that veto is overridden because it’s just the simplest way, the most logical way to keep us able to do what we’ve been doing for so long,” Spinks said. OETA viewership continually ranks among the top nationally with about 650,000 Oklahomans tuning in each week and over 100,000 others streaming the station’s programming. Spinks, now a retiree, said the funding the state provides — $ 2.9 million this budget year — makes up about a third of what it takes to operate OETA. The remainder comes from private donors and grants. Ray McNair, executive director of Oklahoma Sheriff’s Association, said law enforcement agencies and fire departments have dispatch repeaters mounted to nearly every available OETA tower that funding allows. He said every tower is vital for public safety communications. Unless they’re demolished, he’s certain public safety providers would be able to continue using them, he said. “If OETA loses their license, I’m sure there’d be some mechanism in place that law enforcement, firefighters could go to utilize those towers because to drop our repeaters and move them to another tower is a pretty expensive venture,” McNair said. Meyer Siegfried, a spokesman for Stitt, said if OETA is disbanded, the state will retain ownership of OETA’s towers pursuant to state law. If the Legislature does not override Stitt’s veto, OETA has one year to wrap up operations. “It’s not OETA, the state agency, that’s critical to rural public safety, its state assets, i.e. the towers, that play a role in the safety of rural Oklahoma,” Siegfried said in an email. He said National Weather Service, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security can use independent systems to send wireless emergency alerts to geo-targeted areas of the state through wireless carriers to anyone that has a cellphone. “These alerts will continue regardless of whether the OETA towers are there or not, and certainly regardless of the governor’s veto,” Siegfried said. He also said OHP does not have any of its communication assets on OETA towers. He did not say who would be tasked with maintaining the towers if OETA shut down or from where that funding would come. Senate President ProTem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, said he voted against extending OETA’s authorization around 2012. He said Senate leadership privately pulled him aside and explained how “critically important” the towers were to law enforcement and that the FCC license held by OETA was nontransferable. “They asked me not to be flippant in my vote,” Treat said. “So ever since then, I’ve supported its continuation based on (that) knowledge.” State Sen. Roger Thompson, R-Okemah, said he’s “very concerned” by the veto. He said OETA meets both a public safety and educational need. Thompson said he doesn’t know who owns the towers, but said that they’re “very, very needed in public safety” and said are a lot of unanswered questions. He said Oklahoma also needs the FCC license. “I’m not at the point yet of deciding what to do with the towers if they go out of business,” Thompson said. “I’m still hopeful they’ll still be in business.” (via gh, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, 15520, 17715, 11670, May 9 at 2217, REE check finds all four active, unlike yesterday, on a non-English Tuesday, in usual order from VG to G to F to VP when tuned direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 9 9 at *2157, TRT IS comes on but only S4/S6 direct so no listening to the English hour following (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
