** SPAIN. 15520, Fri June 2 at 2156, surprised to hear REE with
conversation sounding like Arabic, or some dialect. Arabic supposedly
scheduled only at 1630-1700 M-F, with Spanish at this time per EiBi, and
presumably // 11670 on E Hemisphere channels before joining the West for
English on all from 2200.

Now I switch to 17855, VG direct. News starts about the convoluted
multi-party political situation. A minor elexion on Sunday provoked
the major elexion to be moved up to July 23. This time after 2206,
Justin is interviewing an American jazz pianist, Ben Cidron? who often
performs in Madrid; about AI and where it`s going, notably in music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

17855 Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Not confirmed Friday June 2 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia; rather
checked at 2057, S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR playing last week`s
WOR 2192! I`ve reminded them to make sure further repeats are of this

** U S A. About WBCQ Radio Angela, Uncle Bill responds on the WOR iog:
``secret Swiss``?

``Thank you for listening. The beginning of the Volksmusik segment was
indeed songs I had originally heard during SBC's language change
intervals back in the 70s. Since they never named the artists or tunes
during those it took me decades to find some of the albums, and I
decided to imitate them and just let the music speak this trip.

An old jazz standard includes the line "Romance without finance don't
make no sense......" and that's more or less where things stand now.
I'm not going to speak for all the other programmers, but I personally
am a child of radio, and anything I would ever do in the future would
have a real radio component of some kind even if it also streamed.``

``I think the modern tendency for humans to assume things without
actually looking is part of what hindered us with possible financial
support. In spite of the the fact that Radio Angela went to great
lengths to avoid religious and political fare - if anything our
overall program grid was a true voice of human unity, not division -
many potential donors just couldn't shake the stereotype of private
shortwave stations out of their brains no matter how hard we tried to
explain our mission, which was to be something quite different. This
is rather sad, because in real life, the only way to change things is
to be the change.

I do have the comfort of being able to go to bed at night without
wondering "what if I had tried this?", and if some of the new voices
we brought onto the air are able to make a go of things another way,
this will not have been in vain.``

More from Uncle Bill:
``I would like to say one thing about Angela Weiner specifically - love
or hate her personal political pronouncements, Radio Angela was named
after her because she was a crucial part of our support while we were
on the air. It might not be easy for some people to get their heads
around the fact that she supported world music, but there you have
it. Most people are more complex than their cartoon caricatures, a
fact that gets increasingly lost in a world of algorithms designed to
accentuate our more primitive drives.`` (via gh, WOR)

** U S A. (7490-), UT Sat June 3 from 0000, WBCQ webcast starts with
announcement by non-Angela YL that the following program originally
aired on Feb. 24, 2023! Never heard them do that before. So never
mind. Has AW twitted anything about this or the demise of R. Angela?
No. Starts right off praying about Ukraine on first anniversary of war
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Another sporadic-E FM DX opening, Wednesday May 31
at 1521-1625 UT, from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario. It`s
taken me a couple days to get this compiled and researched as
Thursdays are busy WOR produxion day. Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever
it decides to happen! In the not yet hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra
2004 stock caradio with fender vertical antenna only; all logs in real
time with my own ears, no RDS capability, no recording, no internet
for stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled notes,
mainly the WTFDA FM Database, also in general searching if needed. All
times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP and
antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz and
vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI. I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not,
and am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential
learning experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome.

Canadian logs are included in original time order below, and also
duplicated at separate entry under CANADA.

Unlike the FL opening yesterday, many frequencies are 2 or 3 stations
deep vying for captures; many with confusing fringe-area groundwave
signals fading in and out like ionospheric. I include some of those
for completeness or to reconfirm identities.

I make a point of monitoring the final R. Angela broadcast, UT

final broadcast. Indeed UT June 2 circa 0310, 5130 is not on the air
any more.

What might have been! Full now canceled June sked is still up:

** VANUATU. 7260, June 1 at 0647, S5/S9 of open carrier, presumably R.
Vanuatu reactivated, strongest ever. Ron Howard says modulating later

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed May 31 circa 2010, no signal from
LRA36 into Argentine SDR. Manuel Méndez, Spain says it was on today,
only at *1936-1954*. Earlier mail from them said would be on Sat & Wed
at 15-18 local but that equals 18-21 UT; suspect time conversion
confusion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, May 31 at 0621, HK3QQ is back after missing May
27, and since? With usual slowly spaced keyboard strokes in order with
errors and omissions as previously explained, notably X instead of P;
and X again between Z and C. Also spells out QTH, BOGOTA COLOMBIA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. After a bunch of Florida FM DX, I resume in the car -- see
USA for details, and immediately hear Spanish:

92.1, May 30 at 2324 UT, strong signal with folk? music so not OK;
2331, Spanish ad in pesos, so not Unitedstatesian; 2332 Soriana ad, a
Mexican market nationwide chain, and others in frenetic string; 2345
possibly a different station since now there are ``Radio Disney`` IDs
between every commercial; must have heard at least 6 of them; includes
Walmart and Home Depot, in Spanish. Faded by 2353 when I hear an OKC
ad, i.e. K221FQ, 99 watts of KRMP 1140.

92.9, May 30 at 2326, ``La KeBuena``, ad for Los Tigres del Norte at
Arena Ciudad de México el 9 de junio; fadeout by 2330 and no DX on
higher frequencies now. There is another Que Buena on 92.9 in San

** OKLAHOMA. 102.7, during FL FM DX opening, May 30 at 2117 UT, not
much signal from KJYO OKC; not obscured by DX, just very weak compared
to the other full-powers from OKC like 100.5, 101.9, 104.1. I do pull
a ``KJ103`` ID JBA at 2355 as I quit. Something must be very wrong.

** U S A. My first sporadic-E FM DX opening this year, May 30 I see an
MUF spike of 107 MHz between here and FL on DXMAP, so out to the car
in the now hot garage, mid-80s at last outside, to DX on the stock
Nissan Sentra 2004 caradio with fender vertical antenna only; all logs
in real time with my own ears, no RDS capability, no internet for
stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled notes, mainly
the WTFDA FM Database, also in general searching if needed. All times
strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP and
antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz and
vert figures, u.o.s. Lasst figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from disitancefromto.net. I
do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and am
not in a competition. Clarifications, correxions welcome.

MUF seems falling and I need some R&R while catching BBC TV news, so
suspend until 2324 when I find Mexico City is incoming, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. A much more intense Es FM DX opening over eastern America,
in progress when I tune in May 31 at 1521 UT until 1625. Mostly Ohio
stations, some New York, Ontario and a French Canadian probably also
Ontario rather than far Québec. Compiling and researching details for
full report may take a day or two (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13500, May 31 at 0602, finally copy definite Morse code ID
thrice amid CODAR: WRPW865 - note that the first four letters are the
same as for the 4-MHz one tracked in Feb to the MS/AL/FL Gulf coast.
And again at 0622 in its icosaminute cycle. Total CODAR audibility
range approx. 13445/13570. So exact center would be 13507.5.

For more info I first try www.radioreference.com but goes nowhere
beyond Sonoma Country on that call. On to FCC ULS which gets it; from
propagation clues I figured it would be on California coast.
