** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, April 20 at 0635, once again the strange
station sending keyboard letters slowly in sequence: ``QWERTYUIOX
ASDFGHJKLÑ ZXCVBNM`` and then much faster: ``VVV DE HK3QQ BOGOTA
COLOMBIA`` --- note the error? of X instead of P, like reversed dits
and dahs? And the Enye after L; maybe that`s where it lies on a
Spanish keyboard. QRZ.com:

``[WOR] Radio Channel Eastern Star now on 7400 AM -- He moved

** U S A. What about Radio Angela? 5130, still no WBCQ R Angela
signal from 0200 UT April 20. Yet, 6160 & 7490 are both carrying
military medley, SSB amid extended Hal Turner show.

R Angela must be of lowest priority - so the usual 5130 xmtr is
broken: why not let it be on one of the others temporarily? Other
nights would deprive dead Brother Hystairical of one frequency among
many.

And what about all the extra transmitters supposedly at Monticello?
Jeff White gave them one from WRMI. 3265 could be turned on at same
time as all the others, so why not use it now, preferably on 5130 or
higher instead?

``Bad tubes``, hard to find. R Angela & listeners may be in for a long
wait unless some alternative is used (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2187)

``Uncle Bill responds: At the moment I anticipate Radio Angela not
returning to the airwaves before May. There are actually two
components to the problem, parts and labor. The late Tom Barna was the
engineer in residence on the spot who might have been able to jury rig
something together, and he is missed more than ever right now. Timtron
and (at the moment) Allan are both some distance away.

The 5130 transmitter does legitimately need new tubes which are both
hard to find and expensive, hence our increasingly-frequent appeals
for financial support. But even with enough benefactors to buy "new"
tubes, the station does also need to hire another engineer as well and
has been actively recruiting. 7490 is full enough that throwing us
there isn't practical and the other frequencies aren't ideal options
just now either for other reasons. It would be nice on general
principles if listeners who miss us wrote the station to remind it
that we are missed when we are gone. --Uncle Bill [Tilford], Curator,
Radio Angela, WBCQ The Planet`` (April 21, WOR iog via Glenn Hauser;
not in time for WOR 2187)

** U S A. 9975, UT Fri Oct 21 at 0110, still no signal from KVOH,
which had started to run on Thursday nights too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA. 9455, April 19 at 0400, RTA Arabic playing martial
national anthem, but no English ID by 0405 as before following NA;
back into Arabic, and Qur`an; break circa 0430 more talk before
resuming Qur`aning. This continues from previous report about this
colliding with reactivated WRMI, worse on receivers further west
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, April 19 at 0625, RHC English, S9/+10 on wrong
frequency yet again and nowhere else on 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13 or 15 MHz
bands. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, April 19 at 0620, JBA carrier only here
below 17500 so presumably Dengê Welat and/or Recep`s Turkish jammer. A
few other JBA carriers further up the band as previously explored
despite the nightmiddle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995.000, April 19 after 2300, ORTM mostly nice African
music, vocals and drumming, fair into UTwente with no QRM, S8/9+5.
However, by 2325 there is CubaRM on both sides unless narrowed.
Scott Walker in Virginia had recommended this hour. Of course it`s
also a regular from around *0600 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Severe weather hitting OKC and southward causes big 3
affiliate stations to blow away network news at 2230 UT April 19,
replaced by wall-to-wall weather warnings. KFOR `4` finds a rerun of
`Friends` too important to preëmpt on substation KAUT `43`. No ABC on
KOCO `5`. But KWTV `9` moves CBS news to its substation KSBI `52`,
just in time instead of `Hiway thru Hell` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed April 19 at 2205, token English SNR topic seems
to be about bees, but I don`t have time to listen. Maybe worth
retrieving from archive. But there`s never enough time to hear
everything desired, now or later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, April 19 at 2200, VOT not AWOL today with
opening timesignal, but VP direct; measurement when checked during
music at 2248 via UTwente, S9+45. Off around 2255 with no extra German
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA. 9455, April 19 at *0303, RTA Béchar cuts on with Qur`an in
progress. But WRMI has just reactivated this frequency, q.v. From 0250
or 0255 I`m standing by via UTwente, Maryland and Missouri SDRs. At
UTwente there has been a VP signal from WRMI, but now Legends is
totally overriden by Qur`aning, S9+20, making a slow SAH as both are
close to .000. At Maryland, RTA is S6/S8 but well atop RMI. At
Missouri, RMI rules, but we can hear Qur`an underneath, what a culture
clash. Only Aoki shows RTA on 9455 at 0300-0600; EiBi shows 9470 &
9500 but neither is on now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. (106.3), April 18 at 0000 UT, KGOU
Norman OK webcast opens `Fresh Air` teaser, 0001-0006 `National Native
News`; and NO `Stardate` which thinx it`s on KGOU daily at 7 am & 7 pm
CT; amend my previous item. It is on KENW but as early as 0058 rather
than 0100 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 18 at 2156, VOT English ID and IS, S5/S8
direct, so not off the air today. And not on the air circa 2310 for
any extraneous German. In between I have better things to do than
frustratingly try to understand her (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2186 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday April 18 at 0042 the 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday April 18 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into
Missouri SDR. Gary Pence, KM5X, also reports on this: ``Hi Glenn, I
just enjoyed listening to WOR 2186 from WRMI`s 9395 kHz xmtr at 2330z.
I copied it real well, S9+25/35db from Central Vermont rSDR K1VL
Shrewsbury VT. Nice audio.

Also. Last night when I was operating late night 20 meter CW, I worked
evidently a maritime mobile Russian craft over the North Pole at
0930z, somewhere and has an interesting page at QRZ.com. His call is
RI41POL.``

** U S A. 9455, April 18 at 2101, WRMI-5 is back!! First noted missing
March 24, after a splatter problem March 19. It`s TOMBS, probably same
as on much stronger 9980 WWCR but not synchro. Now 9455 is S9/S5
direct, about the same as the other RMIs on 9395, 9955. In summer
daytimes, all these should be on higher band, 11 or 13 MHz. 9455 still
TOMBSing at 2330, S9+10/20 into Missouri SDR. At 0000 April 19
switches to Legends.

It shall be very interesting to note whether WRMI and Algeria be
colliding at 03-06 on 9455 as I have been hearing the latter Qur`aning
lately! Answer: see ALGERIA above.

Coincidentally, the WRMI skedgrid has been updated as of today April
18, more than a month after March 12. It always pretended 9455 was
running, but FWIW here`s the System/lineup for it now, all at 285
degrees close to usward:

00-02: K, i.e. Legends except for KBC one day a week.
02-04: C, Legends
04-05: F, Truth [sic] 2Ponder [sic]
05-07: J, SMTV
07-08: F, Fámily Radio
08-09: E, TOMBS
09-10: D, RAE Argentina
10-11: J, SMTV
11-24: E, TOMBS
That`s just consulting the transmission grid atop; there may be
further details or contradixions in the System/programming skeds
below. I have not tried to match up. Ahá: at 0159, RAE in Italian cut
off incomplete, 0200 to music // 5050 so Legends, but break for a
Bible quote. RAE in Italian is not scheduled on any System or
frequency at 0130 or 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130, April 19 at 0233, still no signal from WBCQ Radio
Angela, into Maryland SDR. That makes six nights off, I believe. Must
be serious, what? R. Angela depended on broadcasting every night from
0200 to 0400 or a bit later, never webcasting. Finally circa 1330 UT
April 18, on disgraced Twitter: ``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 13h [ago]
Radio Angela 5130 kHz is down. Sorry. Bad tubes. Some 40+ years old.
Working on it. Timtron to the rescue. It’s what we do to keep the free
speech flowing. Some tubes not made any longer. Got to dig. WBCQ is a
living radio museum. It’s [sic] staff too😆. More to come🙏.`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, Tue April 18 at 2059, again no signal from WMLK, a day
and hour supposedly active. What`s become of deceased EJOM tapes?
Neighbor in more ways than one, WINB 9265v is audible but poor (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, WTWW-2 continues to be off the air, not clear why,
because it`s the other transmitter, WTWW-1 that George McClintock has
been working on; another update from him in the form of captions to
multi-MB closeups, received April 19:

``WTWW: transmitter damage & power --- THEY used plastic sheets to
cover up the damaged burned up power module holes. They were burned up
when the transmitter changed frequency because they did the change in
high power, out of tune --- not lightning damage. The plastic sheets
kept the air flow over the modules. I always went to low power for the
frequency change to avoid the transmitter coming up OUT OF TUNE in
high power causing module damage.

#1 transmitter has 6 modules down and is capable of about 90 KW, my
personal goal. The FCC classifies 100 KW as 90 KW below or 105 above.
Technically any power authorized as 90% below or 105% above.

THEY wrapped the power connections permanently in electrical tape and
made no plan to repair the modules. Jason said he saw the person
repairing electrical stuff. Ted hired this gentleman and what Jason
saw was all FAKE. I would ask what happened to the insurance 100,000
dollars to repair #1 transmitter that never got repaired. George
McClintock 4-17-2023`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10125 USB, April 18 at 0618, phone ham with Oz accent,
weak and does not ID as he cambios to another who is JBA. Same
frequency/area where oddball phone on ``30m`` I`ve logged a few times
before, but 24 hours earlier, CW sending keyboard letters in sequence.
I wish ARDXC would investigate or clarify what is going on there
