** BRAZIL. 11780, June 4 at 0306, RNA surprisingly on after local
miidnite, ``Nacional`` promos, S9+10/20, 0309 time check as
``méia-noite com 8 minutos, um novo dia``, so must be live DJ, songs
past 0313 but off at next check 0319. Rodeador SW op may have been
asleep at the switch. Not on 6180, only MWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 346-MCW kHz, June 4 at 0552 UT, ND beacon dash and YXL, 500
watts from Sioux Lookout, Ontario. Common in the winter and usually
not logged but nice to be getting now vs summer noise level, also
local line? noise, and little else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, June 4 1438-1450, not in the order
tuned, all confirmed as // with Chinese talk unless JBAC; and not a
sign of Sound of Hope targets which are much weaker and mostly
off-frequency: 12500 S6-S8; 12820 S5-S8; 12880 JBA carrier; 13020
S5-S7; 13130 JBA S4-S5; 13530 JBA carrier; 14980 S3-S6. None in the 11
MHz area, nor 16 MHz area.

Also at 1452 // CNR1 in-band 25m which might have been legit, but not,
also SOH frequencies except for 11900 VOA Philippines: 11600 S4-S6;
11900 S9/+10; 11975 S5-S8; 11990 S8-S9. Per Aoki, 11990 has SOH only
before 1300.

Also, extremely distorted // Chinese around 13634, rather than a Cuban
spurblob altho its 13700-AM is on; tuning up, it`s out of 13640 S6-S8,
another SOH jammer and also blob circa 13646 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.911, June 4 at 0247, JBA music at S9 vs HNL of
S8, undermodulated; presumed pirate Nowhere Radio as before on this
offset. More logs here but never IDed except for the music:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,82419.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

thanks this week to Doug Brown, London, Ontario, for a generous cheque
on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA; and comments:

but you may see previous report}

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds,
to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.899, June 4 at 0244, dead air from WBCQ, always
off-frequency, but considerable splash anyway from 6165 RHC. Meanwhile
6155 remains unoccupied at this hour. Axually, WBCQ program sked shows
*two* shows during this hour; cancel each other out?

6160 Fr 0100 0300 UTC Th 09:00PM 11:00PM EST The Hal Turner Show
6160 Fr 0200 0300 UTC Th 10:00PM 11:00PM EST Radio For Peace
International
6160 Fr 0300 0500 UTC Th 11:00PM 01:00AM EST Late Nite in the
Heartland

EST? Axually times must be EDT at 4-hour conversion. And I don`t think
6160- has been running after 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7730, June 4 at 0259, WRMI-13 is OFF; scheduled 00-11, +
later on Saturday, mostly dead Brother Scare including at this hour.
The others 7s, 7780 & 7570 are still on, nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 12040 & 12050, June 4 at 1454, WEWN Spanish is on neither
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13385-CW, June 4 at 0302, double-dit every 4 seconds =
15/minute. Could be interpreted as letter ``I``, so maybe one of those
Russian markers? Unfound any reports of same, rather several other
``beacon`` single letters on 13527 per MARE archive (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 1848 UT June 4

** CUBA [and non]. 11860, June 1 at 0419, beepery again on a Cuban
jammer frequency vs Martí but which funxions only in the daytime. Now
there are two different pitches from slightly different frequencies
which are beating against the JBA spur carrier of RHC 11850 which is
on 11860, so BFO not necessary to hear them. Pattern now is: very
rapid strings of one tone, pause, alternating with same very rapid
strings of the other tone. Too fast to count but estimated about 20 at
a time. There is also a SAH from a second weak carrier on 11860,
presumably the Sa`udi Yemeni, known to be slightly off-frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 9490, June 1 at 0406, Japanese with CCI from a LAH but
no jamming. NHK is relayed 0300-0500 via Nauen, GERMANY for Mideast
but only other listee at this hour is Tibet. Radio República relay via
FRANCE is supposed to be over at 0200, but Issoudun is known to be
off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. On 5/31/21 10:26 PM, Glenn Hauser wrote: ``95.3, May 31
at 2225 UT and continually, KOKC OKC talk is solid; hard to believe
it`s just a 250-watt translator K237GE of 10 kW 1520; but it does have
high-tower advantage, I think, tho WTFDA has default 0.0 entries for
HAAT!`` --- Doug Smith replies on the WTFDA gg:

An FM translator can (often does) have *twelve* HAATs and for that
reason, most don't have a HAAT entry in the FCC database.

(For full-power stations, "average terrain" is calculated along eight
radials, every 45 degrees, around the tower; then, all eight radials
are averaged. For translators, twelve radials are used -- and the
highest radial determines the maximum permissible power.)

You can calculate the HAAT of a translator (or any other station) on
this page:
https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/haat-calculator

It has no legal standing but allows you to compare a translator's
coverage to a full-power station's on an equal basis`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 15170.061, June 1 at 0425, S8-S9 of Arabic,
0427 Qur`an. We are now getting into summer solstitial `midnite sun`
propagation mode of higher `night` MUFs due to increased insolation of
high-latitude paths such as this, which peaks about 62 degrees, almost
reaching Reykjavík. Scheduled 0300-0600, the only 15170 station
anywhen. Previous summers this has attained soporific status, but more
sunspots would be helpful. Typically skewed Riyadh frequency.

Several other JBA carriers on 19m band now, and even one on 17530 at
0431: but that would be low-latitude T-E MWV Madagascar in Chinese.

15170+, next night June 2: 0316 continuous Qur`an S9 fluttery to S7,
soporific enough until 0359 announcement and A.S. ID, then mostly talk
and weakening. A lot more carriers on 19m now, surely all except 15230
Cuba originating in the dayside, Afroeurasia. Sesqui-decades ago,
15170 would have been Tahiti (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re WORLD OF RADIO 2088 monitoring: Correxion: 6159.905, not
6159.105; fixed:
Also confirmed Sun May 30 from 2200.1 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.905 as
measured by NA5B remote in MD, S7-S5 but sounds VG signal. IS & ID
loop from 2158 tune-in, other music across hourtop before WOR start.

Next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, June 1 at 0335, WTWW on here and // 5085 with rock
song ``My Mother-in-Law``. 5085 is known as WTWW-2 but so is 9940 new
ex-9930. A test, I guess. Neither of the WTWW-1 frequencies is on now,
5830 & 9475, so could be #1 transmitter on #2 frequency? Or what about
the #3 transmitter? Hardly ever active on registered 12105 or 15810.
Would be of interest if anyone ever hear WTWW on any three frequencies
at once. Tnx to tip from Jorge Freitas, Bahia, Brasil who noted the
duoply at 0253-0313. Next night, June 2 at 0040 check, only 5085 is
on, with rock, a bit early for a weekday; and still solo at 0110
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28204-CW, June 1 at 1523, beacon W0WF/B, JBA I copied as
W9WF/B, but this one is listed by WJ5O: ``28.204 WØWF * SAINT CHARLES,
MISSOURI # 20W, VERTICAL (*) Daylight New 16 June 14``

QRZ.com: ``W0WF USA flag USA, JERRY D WATTS, SAINT CHARLES, MO 63303.
IF YOU COPY MY BEACON ON 28.204 PLEASE E-MAIL ME A SIGNAL REPORT AND
YOUR LOCATION TO W0WF.B@AOL.COM``

There is also an even weaker one slightly lower between 28203 and
28204, perhaps 28203.3, WB9OTX, Versailles IN I have logged recently.

28199.5-CW, June 1 at 1527, DE WA4OTD/B CARMEL, IN. This is the one
still listed on wrong frequency by WJ5O, 27288.8 with 5 watts;
stronger than W0WF now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re: ``93.1, May 31 at 2223 UT, ``93.1, The ---`` sounds like
one syllable. I have to cope with marginal KS and OK signals not DX
and this may be one of them rather than usual dominant ``My 93.1``
KHMY in Pratt KS. WTFDA Database shows no OK or KS with a The ---
slogan, so maybe skip but not enough data!

Dave Hascall replies on the WTFDA gg: ``Hi Glenn. Could your 93.1 be
Lima Ohio, The Fan? Dave in Indy`` --- Could, but too many other
possibilities and at this time I was getting Manitoba/Ontario. That`s
WWSR, only 3/3 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 93.5, May 31 at 2227 UT, sporadic E of French Canadian talk
overcomes marginal Kansan, see USA; 2233 with 204 AC phone, weather
for Winnipeg and Churchill; maybe ID in passing partly faded starting
CK- but could still be CBC/RC. Still at 2237 when hardly anything
else. None of the Manitobans fit but this does, just over in Ontario,
and the only FF 93.5 in Ont. per WTFDA Database:

``CKSB-7-FM relays CKSB-1050 93.5 KENORA ON French NEWS/TALK ICI
RADIO-CANADA PREMIERE 20.0 kW H&V 100.0m HAAT 49-46-06 94-30-17``

CBC acquired the private CKSB 1050 St-Boniface long ago and added it
to its French network, kept the callsign, not CBWF. I guess it had
been a private affiliate of CBC/SRC. 1542 km = 958 stmi from Kenora to
Enid, ideal Es distance.

93.1, May 31 at 2227 UT, telco-quality talk in English by a native
person about ceremonies, residential schools, the scandal in BC.
``First Nations`` terminology which is typically Canadian but may be
spreading south of the border, where it should be banned for the sake
of DX identification. Closest to Kenora PTA is this, but HOT AC?

``CFOB-FM 93.1 FORT FRANCES ON HOT AC THE BORDER 21.0 kW H&V 0.0 m
HAAT 48-36-10 93-26-53 C27E``

How about Manitoba? The only 93.1 is also allegedly musical:
``CHPO-FM 93.1 PORTAGE LA PRARIE MB COUNTRY COUNTRY 93.1 27.0 kW H&V
73.0 m HAAT Horiz, 0.0 Vert, 49-58-09 98-22-27``

92.1, May 31 at 2255 UT, ``This is Blaine? 92`` or ``Play 92``?
Looking thru all the hundreds of 92.1 listings I don`t find those or
anything rhyming, one syllable with a long-A. Except this is close!
``CHMX-FM 92.1 REGINA SK 90'S HITS PLAY 92.1 100.0 kW H&V 190.0m HAAT
50-30-42 104-33-29`` 1653 km = 1027 stmi. Mixes with dead air $ tereo
signal, nearby? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13521 trace, 13580 S7, 13639 S9, 13761 S5, 13821 S2-S3, 13882
trace, all approx., May 31 at 1426, spurblobs with telltale F# tone
and music modulation on the stronger ones, ~61 kHz intervals out of
13700-AM; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [non]. As heard on NPR ATC via KOSU until 2058 UT
May 31:

Who The Uyghurs Are And Why China Is Targeting Them
May 31, 2021 4:25 PM ET
Heard on All Things Considered
Ramtin Arablouei, co-host and co-producer of Throughline.
8-Minute Listen

NPR's history podcast Throughline bring us the story of why the Uyghur
people have become the target of what many are calling a genocide in
China.

https://www.npr.org/2021/05/31/1001936433/who-the-uyghurs-are-and-why-china-is-targeting-them

Here`s the Throughline podcast page of almost one-hour episodes, but
not yet this one apparently:
https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510333/throughline
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.911-AM, May 31 at 0234, soft pirate music at
S7-S9. Lots of unID logs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,82284.0.html
who do not realize that on this exact off-frequency, Nowhere Radio has
been reported before including by me on April 25, May 1 and 13;
however definite IDs were lacking. Same transmitter anyway, but only
the op can specify the name(s) used on any occasion. At this time I
also have a trace of music on 6970-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475-AM, May 31 at 0312, Station YHWH at S9/+10 into
Corinne, N Utah SDR; 0317 ID asserting he is in North America; deep
fades and occasional peaks higher. Tnx to tip from Eric Fetters-Walp
near Seattle WA. Rick Barton, AZ was also hearing it well, but I found
the Surprise AZ SDR had only a weak S5 signal. Rick says:
``yes, Glenn, anytime you use the Surprise AZ antenna you are hearing
from near me. I live just off Greenway Rd and the Surprise city limits
are 6 miles to my west. 73 -rb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Some marginal notes are mixed with FMDX under USA

** ROMANIA. RRI: ``Glenn, Re: Romania, the second Ţigăneşti
transmitter is still off the air after five weeks. 9550 at 0000 and
7375 at 0300 for English to North America have been missing during
that time; presumably other transmissions as well. Must be a major
transmitter failure that Radicom has been unable to resolve. Stephen
Luce, Houston, Texas`` (WOR iog)

** U S A. 10m-band beacons, mostly JBA with fading by sporadic E, May
31, some relogs and some new:

28281-CW, May 31 at 2111, DE W8EH EM79 --- that`s 8 watts from
Middletown in SW OH, the middle town between Cincy and Dayton.

28199.5-CW, May 31 at 2113, DE WA4OTD/B CARMEL, IN. This is the one

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2088 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 30 from 2000.9 UT on IRRS via Italia AM 918 kHz, Villa Estense,
S9+21 via Noale SDR; rock music till 2000 and full IRRS ID before.

Also confirmed Sun May 30 from 2200.1 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.105 as

** U S A. 12040, May 31 at 2314, WEWN Spanish now here ex-12050, tnx
to tip from Jorge Freitas on the WOR iog; checked via W8BUG remote at
Knoxville/Oak Ridge. Nothing on 12050 now but as JF says:
``12040 31/May 2016 2045 USA WEWN in Spanish. Changed the frequency to
exit Ndarason's QRM? Interviewing a priest talking about Mary. Fair
Signal. (Jorge Freitas-B) 73 Jorge Freitas, Local time -3 UT,
Feira de Santana, Bahia 12°14´S 38°58´W - Brasil, Tecsun PL-660,
XHDATA, Antenna Delta Loop and LW 20 meters``

Assuming the total hours are as on ex-12050, would be 14-24 UT, while
Ndarason via Woofferton is 19-21 only, but long an annoying collision
during that bihour. Now 12040 will collide with KSDA at 2200-2230
only. The other Guamanian, KTWR is also on 12040 but off by 1300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. May 31 at 2111-2130 UT I was getting a number of 10m
beacons, see above, from OH, IN and IL; checked after not getting any
88+ MHz FM Es DX on the DX-398. But then from 2215 with DXMAP MUF
spiking to 100 MHz, I move to the Nissan stock caradio, to find:

93.1, May 31 at 2223 UT, ``93.1, The ---`` sounds like one syllable. I
have to cope with marginal KS and OK signals not DX and this may be
one of them rather than usual dominant ``My 93.1`` KHMY in Pratt KS.
WTFDA Database shows no OK or KS with a The --- slogan, so maybe skip
but not enough data!

93.5, May 31 at 2224 UT, ``My Country 93 - 5`` -- that`s only KKDY, 95
kW, Burdett KS, which is a tiny town west of Great Bend. Then I have
French! See CANADA. Faded by 2241, back to KKDY with 785 AC for
northern Kansas.

95.3, May 31 at 2225 UT and continually, KOKC OKC talk is solid; hard
to believe it`s just a 250-watt translator K237GE of 10 kW 1520; but
it does have high-tower advantage, I think, tho WTFDA has default 0.0
entries for HAAT!

92.1, May 31 at 2251 UT, ad for Tri-Hospital.com ? But doesn`t
connect; searching on the name leads to Port Huron, Michigan, but
there is no 93.5 near there of the several in MI; nor Sarnia ON, and
well outside the current PTA - probable target area.

92.1, May 31 at 2258 UT, ``Your Country Q-92`` --- There are a few Q92
stations with or without hyphen in US, one in Clinton, north-central
Arkansas, too far for GW, and none in the PTA, none in Canada. No 92.1
hits at all on Your Country.

92.1, May 31 at 2258 past 2300 UT, dead air with $ tereo pilot mixing
with modulating 92.1 stations! May be KS/OK rather than DX. No, not my
own RF feeder which is definitely off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. CBS News Sunday Morning: I`m still recording it myself off
KWTV, but starting to watch the May 30 via website
https://www.cbsnews.com/sunday-morning/
I find that altho the file is still 62+ minutes skipping the
commercials, now it has been set up to insert ads separately at every
break, and they are inevitable, so back to my tape where I may zap
them. Meanwhile I let the webversion play and find that it has stalled
at some point, won`t restart, but if I move the timer a bit I get more
ads before it restalls at the same image. They`ve screwed it up
again!

BTW, last week the Nature segment was not extended either. This week
on air we get only 27 seconds of Yosemite. But *must see* the full
2:15 version separately on website, mostly waterfalls; after a
30-second edible cookie commercial (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** BRAZIL. 9665.24V, May 29 at 2309, RVM is unsteady and slipped above
9665 after quite a spell on the minus side, music and then Brazuguese
preaching, S6-S2 on the JRC.

9665.098V, May 30 at 0604, Brazuguese preaching, now measured on the
Icom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 248-MCW kHz, May 30 at 0623 UT, ND beacon WG with
notably strong signal, far more than any other Canadian, and than my
`local` Okies 255 SW and 350 RG which are JBA vs high storm noise
level; and 341 EI Enid remains silent for weeks. WG is 1000 watts from
WinnipeG; and never heard are 5 other listed Canadians on 248, two of
which are to be decommissioned in August per dxinfocentre.com (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey in the 12/13 MHz area, May 30 at 1421:
12500 Chinese at S5-S7; 12820 JBA carrier; 12880 Chinese S5-S7; 13130
Chinese S4-S5; 13530 JBA carrier vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7335, 7345, 7355, 7365, 7405, May 30 at 0611, noise
jammers of various strengths all against nothing since R. Martí closes
two+ hours earlier! Or in case of 7405 never at all this season. 7335
jam is heaviest; 7365 lightest. Of note that 7345 is the RM DRM
channel which quits at 0200, and when it`s on I never detect jamming
which is so similar to DRM noise itself.

All this excessive jamming, just more evidence of Commie paranoia, and
who gives a damn about polluting our SW bands totally unnecessarily?
7345 also has buried a JBA AM carrier, which during this hour only
would be BBCWS English via Ascension. Something`s always wrong at the
DentroCuban Jamming Command. Meanwhile there is no jamming on 7435
which is also an RM frequency earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13764, May 30 at 1426, spurblob out of RHC 13700-AM, telltale
F# tone but no program audio; all approx., also traces around 13828,
13893, 13636 at ~64 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, May 30 at 0610, VON is on today with chants and
presumed Hausa, S9+10/20. This thing could successfully provide a N
American service if there were English on air before 0600, but then I
would complain that it`s intruding into our hamband; while targeting
only Africa Region 1 is legit. Of course they could equally serve NAm
on an open frequency above 7300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 94.3, May 29 at 1930, 2125 and May 30 at 0115 UT chex,
and *still* at 1814 May 30, open carrier/dead air from KLGB-LP, one of
my closest transmitters, so maybe less of a QRM problem. Sibling
KVBN-LP, co-located on same tower by an ex-church, continues nominal.
Both are 100 watts ERP H&V, in WTFDA database as ``religious
teaching`` but both are really mostly gospel rock now. Well, it is a
``holiday weekend`` so maybe will stay off Monday too (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11730, May 29 at 2313, `Club Cultura` from RRI in Spanish,
about museum restorations, S8-S5. No // found on same band; uplooked
later in EiBi: 11730 & 9760 Galbeni to CAm; 11650 & 13750 Tsiganeshti
to SAm listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR

** U S A. 28281-CW, May 29 at 2322, W8EH beacon JBA, 8 watts to
vertical with ground plane from Middletown OH, as recently logged but
now the only 10m beacon audible; yet there are a few phone USB QSOs
higher up like 28395, 28400, 28430. I had just found only one such on
the 18 MHz band, 18140, but lots of skip with hets on AM CB 27 MHz
frequencies. Today`s sporadic E MUFs mostly well below the FM band,
but a few spixe not well positioned for DX to here (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 28286.5-CW, May 30 at 1503, WB0BIN the only beacon JB
audible, alternating fast and slow WPM, 7 watts from Sabin, Minnesota.
As heard several times before. I keep getting only a few of the same
ones by sporadic E vs hundreds listed on 10m at
https://www.qsl.net/wj5o/bcn.htm
mostly as C for allegedly continuous rather than Intermittent, and
also # for confirmed active (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2088 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday May 30 from 0321.5 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Gateway 160 Amateur
Radio Newsletter, good via near-local KB0FX KiwiSDR, but with heavy
storm noise despite none closer than western KS & OK, and along the
NC/SC/GA coasts. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy
2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, May 29 at 0155, S9+20/10 of dead air from WRNO. Lately
has been inputting a stronger signal than before, modulated or not
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, UT Sun May 30 at 0100, `Encore` from R. Tumbril,
SCOTLAND, via WRMI. VG via KB0FX MO remote for convenience since am at
computer, but would also be VG direct. Also // 7780 which was back on
air UT Sat after missing UT Fri for WOR during same hour. Much more
diverse music this week than last week`s major composers. Playlist
labeled 29/5: Poulenc, Fauré, Gavin Bryars, Hindemith, Francesco
Mancini, Spiro, a polka-mazurka, Schubert. Synchro fake stereo mode
gives it ``width`` with the notes cycling left and right, and now the
SDR clix in this mode are less frequent and less obtrusive (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, Sun May 30 at 1712, WTWW-2 is on this new frequency
ex-9930 but hardly ever used; gospel music, then YL with ``Atlas[?]
Weather on WTWW`` for Nashville, also some other cities including
Escanaba, Michigan, why? Random choice? This is S9-S7 and noisy, much
weaker than the other WTWW-1 now on 9475 which is also seldom
activated but more likely on Sunday holydays, which is SFAW not //
9940. Then Ted plugs ``USA Bible Academy`` on ``this website`` to
avoid in-person COVID instruxion. 1714 a canned ID on 9940 for
``5085`` !! They still don`t have their act together. Both 9`s most
likely to be active only weekends.

First time I`ve caught 9940, but A-21 HFCC registered available 24/7,
100 kW at 180 degrees while 9475 is 100 kW at 55 degrees, explaining
why 9940 is so relatively weak here off the side close to 270 degrees
from Lebanon. TWR Eswatini and Furusato no Kaze also 9940 at times.

I was bandscanning 17 down thru 9 MHz as during the stupid carace Indy
500, round and round, getting nowhere, signifying nothing --- but
maybe some driver or spectators will be killed! --- would be a time if
ever for WHRI to be turned back on as a former annual religious
festival, but no sign of it on any band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [and non]. 9645, Sun May 30 at 0607, VR liturgy Sunday-only
in Romanian, harmonious responses, S6-S7; accompanied by:

9620, May 30 at 0607, Qu`ran at S9-S6, i.e. Algeria via FRANCE.

9420, May 30 at 0608, third ecumenical choice should be Greek Orthodox
service from ERA but JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9502.0-USB, May 29 at 2307, weak 2-way in Spanish
INTRUDER; cambio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, May 30 at 0559, JBA carrier at first assumed
again 2 x 6000 RHC; but not //, talk here, music there just before
6000 cuts off. 12000 talk seems Spanish on USB, so maybe another 2-way
intruder demodulated by the Cuba carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, May 29 chex at 1427, 1534, 1600, no
signals this Saturday from LRA36 via three remotes in Brasil. And I
did not check for the other transmission on Wed May 26 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, May 29 at 0557, RHC JBA on 2 x 6000. Nothing on other
doubles checked: 12120, 12200, 12330. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, May 29 at 0559, RHC English with big humbuzz; 6100 is
off, 6165 & 6000 good, 5040 Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13571, 13636, 13768, approx., spurblobs out of 13700-AM,
mainly F# tones, ~66 kHz intervals, but none circa 13832. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 11730, May 29 at 0555, French mentioning Japon over
and over, S4-S7. Yes, it`s NHK via ISSoudun at 0530-0600. First time
noticed this as I do check NZ 11725 every night (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat May 29 at 0152, pirate with ``Both
Sides Now``, S9+ with storm noise. No doubt Ball Smacker Radio in
regular 0100+ UT Sat sked. No other pirates around (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Race massacre coverage from Tulsa --- There is plenty of
national coverage of this event. But from OK itself, KWTV OKC had a
one hour special Friday night featuring its own news anchors, as I
viewed it at the time:
https://www.news9.com/tulsa1921

Tulsa`s own KOTV, a sibling station of KWTV, presents (almost?) the
same web material, but surely a different program with own anchors I
have not viewed:
https://www.newson6.com/tulsa1921
(Glenn, Enid, Hauser, May 29, WOR iog)

** SPAIN. 17855, May 29 at 1415, REE to North America early start on
Saturday and even on the air and propagating, S9+10/S7 direct. Had not
been able to hear it all on weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2087 monitoring: I`m soundasleep
but: ``1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE --- Coming in fairly well in
Europe as noted using the U. Twente SDR receiver. -- Richard Langley,
1312 UT May 29``

Also confirmed Sat May 29 at 1600 on WRN webcast to N America

Also confirmed Sat May 29 from 1800+ on IRRS: via Noale KiwiSDR, S9+22
via Italia-AM, Villa Estense, 918 kHz; preceded by Aïda theme and
quick sign-on, pause, no FSN, and into WOR. 7290 via Bulgaria cut on
several seconds later during theme. Open carrier was on earlier atop
something, presumably China; warbling RTTY? on USB continued during
WOR but evitable by LSB tuning.

``Dearest Glenn, I have seen that for a few days you connect to my
RaspSDR and tune a transmitter in 918 KHz. For me this is a great
satisfaction! Just think, that in the 80s I followed you every Friday
night on the program broadcast by Radio Netherlands called "Radio
Enlace" in Spanish. Thanks again for your great work. Greetings from
Italy, Mauricio Guido, IW3HBX of Noale near Venice - Italy``

``Mauricio, Great to hear from you, nice to have this further
connexion. Your Kiwi is certainly the best place to hear me on 918. As
you see I have been on it this hour to confirm WOR broadcast.
73, Glenn``
