** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed April 20 at 1346 and 1431 chex via
Brasil SDRs, no signal from LRA36, prolonging its absence all April so
far. I wanted to email them about this:

``Me gusta escuchar sus emisiones en 15476 los miércoles y/o sábados,
a través de receptores remotos en el Brasil; pero a pesar de
sintonizar dos veces per semana en abril, no se escucha nada después
de marzo. Favor de explicar qué pasa; si van a reanudar emisiones
pronto? Gracias, Guillermo Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oclajoma, EUA``

But all 3 email addresses in WRTH 2022 bounced. Does anyone have a
working address? Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, replies on the WOR iog:

Hi Glenn, please, have you tried this one?:
esperanzalra36@radionacional.gov.ar
but even if it doesn't bounce I think they don't answer. Last year's
whatsapp number is also inactive. I believe that until the programs of
the new season begin, they will not respond. Uff, perhaps they will
start when this season is over. Best 73,s``

OK, I try that one too --- mo bounce but no reply either by a few
hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Soy radioaficionado desde 1970, cuando tenía 15 años. Mi primera
señal distintiva era LU2MCX. Comencé con el final de la época de las
válvulas y la amplitud modulada (AM). Construí mi primer transmisor
con una válvula 807 en la salida (50W), modulada en placa con un
push-pull de 2 6L6. Estuve años en actividad, pero la vida y la
profesión me fueron alejando poco poco. Perdí mi licencia y estuve más
de 40 años QRT. En el año 2018, me entusiasmé con la idea de recuperar
mi licencia, lo que ocurrió a finales de de ese año. En la actualidad
estoy comunicando con la licencia original y tan entusiasmado como
cuando tenía 15 años.

Soy Ingeniero en electrónica y electricidad, fui docente durante 40
años y trabajé en obras eléctricas, tuve una fábrica de balanzas
electrónicas, diseñé sistemas con microcontroladores (controles de
apertura, dosificadores, alarmas, etc.). También incursioné en el
audio fabricando amplificadores, mezcladoras y cajas acústicas. Ahora
estoy alejado de las actividades lucrativas, pero NO de la profesión.
Aparte de la radio me gusta la lectura de ciencia ficción y en el año
2013 escribí el primer libro que acabo de editar.``

BTW: I learnt long ago but have not reconfirmed it lately, that unlike
other ham countries, the number in the call does not correspond to a
geographical region or call-area like in Canada, US. Rather it`s the
first letter after the number which denotes a distinct province or
area. There should be a map of this somewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.896V, April 20 at 0632, standout signal from RVM even
tho only S8/S9, with .br website and 3:32 timecheck, back to music,
which sounds more secular than sacred without understanding any lyrix.
Will it ever reach 9667.000? Some still log this as if on nominal
9665! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, April 20 at 2315-2335+, RHC with S9/S6 of dead air
except for traces of English modulation while the carrier crackles
cutting off and on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, April 20 at 2204, R. Cairo with extremely
distorted but recognizable English, very strong into UTwente.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 20 at 1514-1530, another exercise in
futility as I try another combination of 3 SDRs for TDOA on Voice of
Martyrs Korea. New Delhi is getting the best signal, S9+15/20 of usual
Protestant TV discussion in English, much better than into SDRs
Bengaluru, Kuwait. At 1520 I run Hanoi, Bandung, RSA or Swazi, which
conclude it`s most likely from 13N/109E = South Vietnam: yeah, sure.
1527 goes to music, 1529.5 just in time for sign-off ID and email;
then *1530 Vatican Arabic starts much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 20 at 2215, VOT S9+50 into UTwente, VG except
for squeal but it`s JBA. After news and Review of Turkiyeish Press;
2215 same old COVID PSA about washing hands, etc., ``vaccine yet to be
found``. 2216 `Feeling Supreme` `Health Life` - brain fog and cerebral
palsy and what to eat to avoid them. 2224 `Weekly Commentary` quoting
a foreign policy and security analyst whose name I cannot possibly
copy, about Tuerkiyeish strategy in context of Ukraine conflict, etc.
Closing the Bosporus Strait? 2252 recheck, still a whine but much
weaker S7 signal with no other modulation, same +3 Hz offset (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 20 at 0502.5-0509.5, Ukraine Radio 1 via
WRMI with English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue`. UU language at
0500 first lasts longer than usual, but don`t give up. YL announcer
this time who does the best job: Day 55 of the War. First about
Mariupol siege. Ends about the postage stamp with the soldier raising
finger-3 to the Russian warship, going viral, and at very high prices
on Ebay: no plans to print any more of them. I`m not attempting to
copy all details of each broadcast, as hugely covered also in
mainstream news, but it`s important to hear this daily summary from
Ukraine itself; if not now, then after 0000 UT on 1386 kHz via
Lithuania via UTwente. 7730 VG into Maryland SDR.

7700-7750 approx., April 20 at 0637 direct, after WRMI is off 7730, a
lite noise field over this span, jamming remnant? Nonesuch noted
during WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 15200 AM, April 20 at *1601-1701*, KTWR with new
Ukrainian broadcast, as TWR had to get in the act. Registered as N =
DRM but must have decided they really wanted an audience. Equally good
S9+20/30 signal into New Delhi and Khimki, Russia SDRs. No jamming or
OTH radar QRM as others have complained last day or two. I listen to
whole hour, which is mostly music with some brief announcements. Most
of the songs are non-English and to me not overtly gospel, presumably
in Ukrainian. No protracted gospel-huxtering. Seems TWR are trying to
provide a feel-good uplifting hour. At 1616 & 1628 & 1647 there are
praise songs in English; and at 1655 ``Holy3``. I wonder where this be
produced studioly: surely not Guam, or even Singapore HQ of TWR Asia:
but this is trans-Asian to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4790, April 20 at 0400, creeping Angelism, now staying on a
dekaminute longer with some short features After Midnight, UT Tue-Fri
at least, so not affecting WOR on UT Sat at 0400. Starts with
Earthdate, 0402 Exploring Science. These are serious, but then 0404
something off-the-wall about cannabis seeds. Meanwhile the uteblapp
QRM continues, this time exactly 3:00 minutes apart at 0402, 0405,
0408; and maybe a separate one in between about 0406:40. 0409.5 WBCQ
sign-off to 0410*. Good into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, April 20 at 0642, JBA carrier on 2 x 3945 R.
Vanuatu; but 11835 = 3 x 3945 is S9/+10! with island music. Unseems
off-frequency but I measure it exactly: 11835.003 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 2353 UT April 20

** ARGENTINA. 28477 USB, April 19 at 2126, 10m seems dead but I scan
anyway and find a couple LUs, this one LU2MCX, calling for ``up 5``
and another contact on 28482 USB with WB6D.

28470 USB, April 19 at 2129, LU9ES in Bs As contacting N5ZU, and more
quick QSOs. I may look up more about these guys later (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. 11825, April 19 at 1525, Burmese song S7/S9, the Myanmar
service of RBA at 1500-1530. Today the signal is about equal to 11620,
VOMKorea to Maldives from secret site; not that that prove anything,
elsewhen much weaker than that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHAD [non]. 12050, April 19 at 0620, S9/S7 with heavy flutter,
French and music: R. Ndarason Internationale via Woofferton UK at
0600-0700; also despite WEWN at 1900-2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, April 19 at 2135 RHC with speech in stilted Spanish,
this frequency on later than scheduled and unfound anywhere else on
15, 13, 11, 9 MHz bands except weaker // 9535. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, April 19 at 2148, S9+25 into UTwente extremely
distorted but recognizable English from R. Cairo. Earlier in hour
direct, nothing but a JBA carrier. Something`s always egregious in
Egypt (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 17870, April 19 at 1520 JBA S5/S7 talk, the OSOB as
Spain won`t be on 17855 for a few hours on a weekday. EiBi shows
Dimtse Woyane in TIG via FRANCE at 1500-1600, and puts a b after the
frequency: 17870b -- significant or a typo? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT. 12130, April 19 at 0623, JBA S5/S7 talk vs CODAR. HFCC
shows USAGM in Urdu at 0400-1300; Aoki says Mashaal Radio, in Pashto.
EiBi says PS to Pakistan. That`s the one for Pashto speakers in Pak
and along the border in Afghanistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 19 at 1526, English discussion of NIV
Bible version, S7/S9 direct; 1528 music not `Blessed Assurance`,
closing VOMKorea Maldives service at 1529, just in time to get off
before VATICAN starts Arabicking at *1530, only S3/S5 direct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 19 at 2200, no signal from VOT English into
UTwente, just timesignal and Chinese. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. Some hum at 2224, maybe it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 12095, April 19 at 0621, French with similar fluttery signal
to 12050 Ndarason, see CHAD [non]. This also via Woofferton, but BBC
itself at 0600-0630. But HFCC shows quite different powers, azimuths,
antenna types (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

song to a slower one, S5/S8 on 3 x 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7474.5 USB, April 19 at 0630, weak 2-way in Spanish, not
intruder? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2229 UT April 19

** BRAZIL. 15189.895 approx., April 18 at 2330, S1/S3 in Brazuguese,
so R. Inconfidência, Belo Horizonte, the only ZY left on 19m. For a
long time it had been on the plus side of 15190, but others have also
been reporting it on the minus lately. Seems quite low-powered, but
better chance here than on 6010 if on air at all (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHILE. 28490 USB, April 17 at 2133, CE7VP, Javier on Chiloé island
in Patagonia, working US stations and then CO5AT Cuba. 10m is hardly
wide open but this guy really gets out; heard him before with details.
Only other signal now is algo on 28435 USB. And as usual, not a trace
of any CW beacons in the 28150-28350 range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15760, April 18 at 0244, S5/S7 Chinese with heavy flutter:
Aoki lists nothing here but CNR1 jamming and Sound of Hope (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530, April 18 at 1425, Chinese S7/S9 vs CODAR; JBA
carriers also on 13130, 13020, all well-established Sound of Hope and
consequently CNR1 jammer frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, April 18 at 0222, no signal in English from this RHC,
leaving only 6165 for that, S9+10/40 somewhat undermodulated.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. At 0605, RHC English only on 6165 and
6060; 5040 in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5055, April 18 at 0224, JBA carrier, no doubt the 5025/5040
leapfrog mixing product another 15 kHz beyond; but no reverse leap
upon 5010, where weakish WRMI is heard alone. 5055 at 0607 April 18
bears some JBA music. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11860, April 18 at 0622, wall-of-noise S6/S7 jamming against
nothing while 11930 is ditto at S7/S8. Radio Martí frequencies NEVER
in use at night: the incompetent DCJC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9640, April 18 at 2336, RHC music somewhat undermodulated
and distorted compared to // 11760 and weaker // 9535. Used before but
a new? frequency now for the transmitter which used to be on 9710
until switch to 9650 at 0000. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9490.053V, April 18 at 0230, Radio República ID, via
RMI via FRANCE is S9+20 and slightly wavering making measurement a
chore, but here at one instant; as usual, this defective transmitter
dedicated to it. But is well over jamming if any (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. Correxion: Brazilian time in this corrected, not 2215-2230:

9899.951, April 16 at 2227, R. Cairo suptorted music, S9+30
into UTwente; at 2236 can recognize talk in Portuguese distorted, so
now ``9900`` is the 2215-2330 Brazilian service instead of English at
2115-2245 which is now scheduled and sometimes heard on 9440, but
nothing there now. That would require two transmitters at once;
possible? So I keep checking for subsequent emissions: (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ERITREA. 7140, April 18 at 0257, steady JBA carrier no doubt VOBME
INTRUDING in the ham band; but not the other VOBME 7180, nor Ethiopia
7110, yet? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11995, April 18 at 0625 African language S5/S7, 0628-0630*
song. It`s RFI in Hausa at 0600-0630 & 0700-0730 daily (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TAJIKISTAN. 15515, April 18 at 0245, preacher in English, S7/S9
with heavy flutter. Aoki shows it`s AWR via Orzu at 0200-0300 daily.
Should include Wavescan but not known to do so. Nice of the Tajix who
are 90% Moslem to accommodate Protestants; allegedly religious freedom
exists now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. I`m not a big Doctor Who fan, so can`t get roped into
rerun marathons, whether seen already or not, but seeking adventure,
would not mind watching a totally new episode on BBC America, like
April 17 first at 1810 UT and an `extended` replay April 18 at 0000,
`Legend of the Sea Devils`. Extensions were a few minutes of
behind-the-scenes actor interviews, totally breaking characters.

But I have the same old complaints about how BBC/Am handle it ---
quite apart from the original produxion values, SFX, and the story:

1) Commercial breaks are extremely abrupt, annoying: cut to and cut
from, no fade to black, nothing to bump. Perhaps the original on BBC
plays uninterrupted, and no thought has been given into natural
act/scene breaks, but that`s no excuse.

2) Various British accents and general mumbleness of some of the
actors: try as I must, cannot always understand every word; even with
stereo headphones and nothing to distract. Recommended however for
full impact of the music and ambiance.

3) Therefore, closed captions are required, which means I can`t watch
it with someone else who finds them obtrusive.

4) But the CC flash on and off far too rapidly, quite apart from the
original rate of speech. Even the two-liners get only a second or
split second on screen, not always enough time for me, anyway, to read
them! Of course they have to keep up with the dialog, but instead of
leaving one caption on until the next one, there is always an
unnecessary pause between them when one might have been
reading/absorbing each in full. The CC are of course from script
synched with the original, not applied on-the-fly live later, so there
is NO excuse for this.

5) Somehow there is not much gore to be seen, but it wouldn`t be DW
without extreme violence. It`s in the genes.

6) The Dr`s roots are showing: even in this fantastical universe,
obviously fake blonding is a thing.

7) There are no closing credits, as exhibited here. Tough luck, crew.
Only major opening credits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 17 from 2001 UT on IRRS via AM Italia: unlike Friday, today both
918 and 1323 are running //. Into nearby Noale SDR, 918 is much
better, S9+15 sometimes cutting to S9+8, experimenting? While 1323 is
only S9 and much noisier. They were // with rock music earlier tuning
in at 1955.

Also confirmed Sun Apr 17 at 2243 the 2230 on WRMI-8 5950, S8/S9 into
Knoxville SDR. Yes, still appearing tho deleted weeks ago from the
System L sked grid for ``Harlene Summers``, ever pending? Fine with
me.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 18 at 0030 on WRMI-13 7780, S8/S9+5
into Knoxville SDR with some storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 18 from 0302 on Area 51 via WBCQ,
6159.949, S9/+10 into Knoxville with ACI de 6165 Cuba. W8BUG SDR think
WWV 5000 is +22 Hz off! So must subtract 22 from where it thinx WBCQ
be, minus 29/30 Hz already. Johnny Lightning had ``Gotta Go`` at 0300
so after a long pause, WOR started 2 minutes late. But I caught the
end of me before 0331 so was complete. By 0333 I was hearing Morse
code, apparently not HRI: see separate report. I suspect HRI does not
do a new show every week, so subject to pre-emptions?

WOR 2134 also confirmed UT Tuesday April 19 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 &
9455 both S9+30 into Missouri SDR, and synchronized virtually
identical, except modulation on 9455 has a bit more bass. Next:

``The announcers you hear are real people, not synths. We recruited

** U S A. 15770, April 17 at 2140, classical music on WRMI-9, still
too much of a rarity. I bet it`s R. Prague Int`le in French, which
features such a Sunday concert: yes, exactly per System H WRMI
skedgrid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, April 18 at 0226, WRMI-4 is AWOL again which happens
quite a bit; but April 19 at 0050 it`s back with TOMBS cult. Also off
and on, the 4975 JBA parasitic spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4790, April 18 at 0227, Bach Brandenburg Concerto as a
string of them featured on this week`s Radio Angela `Concert Hall` on
WBCQ; S9+10 with lite CODAR QRM, but the high storm noise level
prevents any enjoyment.

Say, why not escape it up to the 11 or 13 MHz band? WBCQ is anything
but frequency-agile. One transmitter must stay on one frequency unless
there be a permanent change, not undertaken lightly, I guess requiring
grinding a new crystal and other laborious adjustments (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.949, UT Mon April 18 at 0333, following WORLD OF RADIO

and on, some `radio art` produxions from a wide variety of sources,
`Short Wave - Long Distance`. Evidently this was a project involving
Wave Farm, Winter SWL Fest, NASWA, David Goren. I found this about it
on the agenda for the 2022 fest, UT Saturday March 5:

``0400-0600 The best of “Short Waves/Long Distance” 2022
Huzzah! It’s the return of Short Waves/Long Distance, a world wide
open call for compositions using shortwave sounds. SW/LD is sponsored
by NASWA, Wave Farm and Montez Press Radio to celebrate the 35th
Winter SWL Fest and Wave Farm’s 25th anniversary. <wavefarm.org>
——``

An ID mentioned 7570 WRMI, where this apparently was originally
broadcast. Meanwhile, a quick check of 6160- sometime after 0400 found
it had defaulted to the TOMBS cult, so SW/LD was webcast only. I
listened to the whole thing until 0530 back to A51 fill music. Too bad
there was no advance publicity about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, April 18 at 0236, S9+30 of dead air, must be WTWW-3
which is mainly active before sunset nominally for Ukraine; Tedson
forgot to turn it off? Guess what: for once TWO OTHER WTWWs are also
on air now, 5085 & 5830, so it is possible to run three at once:
unless I have been fooled by some other carrier on 9940 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, April 18 at 0620, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu 3945 x
2; while 11835 = 3945 x 3 is S7/S9 in conversation. 0632 somehow calls
itself ``Voice of Papua New Guinea`` and I think some other nearby
countries. Next song: ``Leavin` on a Jet plane`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12004.50 LSB, April 18 at 0239, 2-way contact in
Spanish, or rather a multi-way net, INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17925.3 USB, April 17 at 2137, one side of a Spanish
contact, as if an ham; background noise surges in vox pauses. This is
supposed to be an aeronautical band. First time in many months I have
heard *anything* on it as I frequently cross it between the BC band
below and the real ham band above. Could be drug smuggler with
aircraft engine noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALBANIA [non]. 7730, Sun Apr 17 at 0608, WRMI S9+10 with travelog
of Albania, S9+10, so R. Tirana is still the primary occupant at 0600,
altho on April 13 Ivo Ivanov reported RFPI at this time: that may be
only weekly on Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9880, April 16 at 2237, CRI Esperanto, VG
into UTwente, fluent YL with continuous musical bed; run across as I
am tracking Cairo. Via Kashgar, standard denunciation. Only Commies
SWBC in Esp`o, CRI and Cuba, per:
https://www.addx.de/cgi-bin/hfp.cgi
which shows RHC Sundays at 0600-0630 on 6100; really, instead of 0700?
I did not reconfirm either today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.951, April 16 at 2227, R. Cairo suptorted music, S9+30
into UTwente; at 2236 can recognize talk in Portuguese distorted, so
now ``9900`` is the 2215-2230 Brazilian service instead of English at
2115-2245 which is now scheduled and sometimes heard on 9440, but
nothing there now. That would require two transmitters at once;
possible? So I keep checking for subsequent emissions:

9884.951, April 16 at 2333, now Cairo in Arabic to S America, S9+45
with occasional modulation peaks breaking thru. Still suptorted at
0042 April 17, now S9 tuning direct. Note the close match of the
-49/50 Hz offset from one frequency to another.

9889.950, April 17 at 0044, has now already upslid 5 kHz for the 0045
Spanish service, same horrible modulation, but I missed the
transition. Measured via UTwente not until 0157 when about to end,
S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6934.9 AM, April 17 at 0306, JBA talk, music, only
sign of a pirate as I haven`t been searching earlier during `prime
time` UT Sundays. These say it`s KMUD on ``6935``:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 16 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR but only
S4/S5 into UTwente and with RTTY warble on the LSB.

Also confirmed Sat Apr 16 at 1931 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO,
S9+10 into nearby Warrenton SDR, about 11 minutes into so started
early about 1920

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5 into
Tennessee SDR with storm crashes but better here than some other US
remotes.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 17 at 0320 on WA0RCR 1860 AM, MO, about
8 minutes into so started circa 0312: S9+10 vs S9 local? noise level
unusual for nearby KB0FX SDR; amid R2 blackout but that should affect
the dayside, not nearby darkside groundwave. Axually better now into
Knoxville SDR, S9 with some storm crashes not nearby.

Also confirmed Sunday April 17 at 1402 on WMRI Europe via Channel 292,
Germany, 9670, about S4 into Castlegar, Ireland SDR, while Carlow
waterfall was blank; and not audible at UTwente = too close skipping
over. I tuned in just in time to hear WOR 2134 ending, so this week
must have started at 1333; then immediately into Russian. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy; & 918?
2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [to be canceled? still Apr 3 but 10?]
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW

** U S A. 5950, April 17 at 0000, WRMI with second of three
consecutive Texas Radio Shortwave hours, this one being `Howdy
Neighbor` with music by Oklahomans, or about us. I make a few but not
continuous notes: Opening synthyl says broadcasting from the Arkansas
River between Port of Catoosa and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Songs are
pre-announced in groups of three; first including Jack Guthrie. 0011,
a Cadillac Boogie; 0013 surfin` song despite no seacoast; 0019, Prop
Me Up By The Jukebox If I Die; 0025 Tumblin` Tumbleweed by Gene Autry
[who by sheer coincidence came from Gene Autry, Oklahoma!]; 0031 My
Oklahoma by Bruce Springsteen, and no Muskogee; 0045 says neighbor
next week will be New Mexico, and Patti Page coming up. 0058
best-for-last finale, Oklahoma from the Broadway musical and segué to
YROT closing theme. Altho I could have heard it direct, for
convenience at computer I`m listening via Knoxville SDR which is
usually good for WRMI 5950.

From advance publicity: ``New Texas Radio Shortwave Program: TRSW Says
Howdy Oklahoma! At 0000 UTC, Sunday, April 17, On 5950 Khz, with music
by Oklahoma artists and songs about the state. There are some big
names on the artist list; also, we bet you’ve not heard of a few.
Here’s the list: Big Chief Henry's Indian String Band, Bruce
Springsteen, David Gates & The Country Boys, Gene Autry, Gene Pitney,
Hinder, Jack Guthrie, Jimmy Liggins, Joe Diffie, Lester Young, Mary
Kay Place, Oklahoma Movie Cast, Otto Gray & His Cowboy Band, Patti
Page, Turnpike Troubadours, Wanda Jackson. The third eQSL in the
series of four follows the design of the others. Email a reception
report on at least 20 minutes of what you hear to
texasradiosw@gmail.com`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, April 17 at 0609, R. Vanuatu with S8/S9 of talk,
maybe English instead of Bislama, so third harmonic of 3945 still
funxions; 7890 with JBA carrier at second (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
