** OKLAHOMA. 89.1-WBFM, May 30 at 2014 UT, 205-watt H&V Enid
translator K206CA surprising with gospel song in Spanish, 2017 back to
English. Noticed as I am bandscanning futilely for sporadic E DX. This
is the Oasis Network, primary KNYD 90.5 Tulsa market, 80/80 kW Broken
Arrow. But it can`t be an off-air pickup due to our semi-local on
90.5, KBVV Goltry. Oasis is also on 88.1, 0/50 kW KMSI Moore, more
audible here vs KWOU Woodward. There is not a word of Spanish on the
Oasis website, unless they be the names of founder David Ingles,
depending on how he pronounce them, but his music is in English (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.3-WBFM, May 30 at 2015 UT, 250-watt Enid translator
K202BY, is spreading out between 87.7 and 88.9 on the DX-398 as I
attempt to check ``open`` frequencies for sporadic E DX. WTFDA FM
database still has this as a Family Radio satellator of KEBR 88.1 in
California! Despite my first report Feb 1 of transfer on the air to
KJIL 99.1 Copeland KS, as in ``Jesus Is Love``. Normally it only ruins
adjacents 88.1 and 88.5 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 9830, May 31 at 0634, African language under
NSS RTTY: it`s DW in Hausa relay at 0630-0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 30 at 2203, no signal from VOT English to us,
just NSS RTTY. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Local noise
blob has fortuitously drifted upward so that only its edge barely
bother 9830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475.09-CW kHz, May 31 at 0636 UT, Dave Frantz has resumed
his very slow Morse code beacon at WWRB Manchester TN, ``WA4SZE COM
WA4SZE/BEACON``. I tune past here almost every night, and last time
heard was December 10, 2019 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18150-USB, May 30 at 2200, KJ4BJ, ham in Tennessee in
contact with 9Z4AH in Trinidad, unheard. QRZ.com shows antennas and
``KJ4BJ USA flag USA, ROBERT J JORDAN, DAYTON, TN 37321 USA`` at
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/kj4bz
Sporadic E opening; can`t compare to 15825 WWCR Nashville, which has
just gone off, but 13845 is very poor. Dayton is 110 miles ESE of
Nashville, roughly between Chattanooga and Knoxville; and site of the
infamous ``monkey trial``.

18160-USB, May 30 at 2207, KJ4BJ has QSYed to here, contacting JBA
HP9SAM in Panamá; only activity on the band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28433-USB, May 31 at 1824, good steady ham signal discussing
tubes etc. with unheard contact, no calls, overs or beeps, but finally
closing at 1833 as ``W6SCC, 10-3``. So sporadic E from California? No:
``W6SCC USA Guy B Coleman, Tucson, AZ 85745 USA``. Mentioned hearing
close Colorado on 10m, mode Es? Certainly. Now there is a 70+ MHz MUF
over New Mexico or so. Seemed the OSOB until:

28380-USB, May 31 at 1834, even stronger unID ham, S9+20 discussing
10-10 net`s declining membership (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring: still no confirmation from

the volume (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2097.3, May 31 at 0619 UT, single-letter beacon A is JBA
in noise level, every dekasecond. Altho a reliable source has assured
us it is not heard as a local signal in Quartzsite AZ, I see in
classaxe.com it is still placed in Quartzite [sic] with a period of

against Sound of Hope as in Aoki/NDXC; no full WOOB survey today
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, May 30 at 0528, once again what is often the best
modulated and signaled RHC English frequency after 0500 is absent;
still on 6100 > 6145 > 6000 in decreasing order of audibility. And
today 5040 is in correct language, English instead of Spanish, but
always with that squeal. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn

--- this hour is RFI itself via Issoudun; meanwhile both ALGERIA relay
frequencies, 7295 and 6125 are without the beepery which usually is to
be heard upon 7295; so they must have swapped the defective
transmitter around (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11730, May 30 at 0539, VP S1-S2 news in AmeriEnglish, VOA?
0540 switches to French mentioning ``nouvelles catholiques``? So
Vatican, maybe via Madagascar. NO, it`s the French half hour of NHK
via Issoudun -- of course, defaulting to English news at the outset
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 13575.047, May 30 at 1427, S3-S5
Chinesish talk. It`s RFA in Cantonese this hour only via TINIAN,
typically askew. Altho Aoki says it`s *jammed, no sign of that. The
ChiCom are not so eager to bother to block broadcasts in insignificant
minolity ranguages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring: awake by 1155 UT
Saturday May 30, I hasten to check 9955 whether WOR still be at 1130
on WRMI. NO, replaced by some gospel huxtress, outro as Jack Van Impe
show with address in Troy, Michigan. WRMI skedgrid shows this is
supposed to be on SUNDAYS at this hour, so mistake, or now both? BTW,
I had not noticed that JVI died January 18 this year:

https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2020/01/19/jack-van-impe-an-apocalyptic-televangelist-has-died/
But like so many other gospel huxters is embarking on a post-mortem
career, tho in the few minutes I only heard her, his widow Rexella
(how`s that for a gender-busting monicker?)? WOR may have been gone
previously from this slot as I have not checked it every week. Next:

** U S A. 17775-, Sat May 30 at 1507, still no signal from KVOH, so
its only airing of `Wavescan` is missed again. I wonder what the
problem be now, same as before disabling it for a biweek until a biday
revival, or something new?

Or is there absolutely no propagation this early? Recheck at 1825, now
it`s on at S9-S6 but undermodulated. There is lots of sporadic E
across the eastern half of USA, very little across the western (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7665-7725, peaking 7700, 9830-9870 peaking 9850, May 30
at 1425, and also circa 9490 at 1435, local noise blobs have shifted
slightly upward by 20-30 kHz (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15825 & 13845, May 30 at 1530 onwards, WWCRs are getting
sporadic E boost well above normal JBA level. 6m Es DX MAP shows heavy
openings across eastern USA, but only a few spots barely exceeding 88
MHz, i.e. into the FMBC band; normally I need more than that to make
it worth checking here. Below that, however, lots of CB channels have
pileups and hets from all those off-frequency AM units, checked at
1830 May 30: 27025, 27085, 27135, 27165 (``eastern Iowa; south shore
of Lake Erie``); NOT 27185! Also 27205, 27215, 27285, 27295, 27345;
and in LSB not USB: 27385, 27395, 27575. 11m CB can really be hopping,
yet hardly any activity on 10 or 15m hambands.

At 1835-1847 I perform a full bandscan of 30-51 MHz, and hear not a
single voice, just tones/birdies here and there probably out of local
computers. This on the R75, but no VHF antenna, just the HF/MF/LF
longwire, which nevertheless previously succeeded in grasping some 6m
phone USB ham DX from Mexico. I suspect the 30-50 MHz band be very
underutilized these days for local 2-way (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13567, 13634; 13767, 13833, 13900, 13967 approx., May 29 at
1420, it`s been a while since RHC has succeeded in spurting multiple
spurblobs out of 13700-AM transmitter, but here they are again, none
especially strong, at 67 kHz intervals. Best heard in AM mode instead
of FM, the closer ones with F# tone and trace of `Sonido Cubano`
music; the top one only a trace. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255-MCW kHz, May 29 at 0622 UT and also at 1418 UT, ND
beacon SW in Stillwater is back! It had vanished April 4 after
reliable groundwave reception day and night, and in nightly chex, no
sign of it since until now. Classaxe.com says it was last logged
2020-04-02, 50 watts, `Blaki`. I wonder if this have anything to do
with the amount of traffic at that airport, or lack of it, in the
interim (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800 // 9395, UT Sat May 30 at 0130, Freedom Synergy
Radio via WRMI, in English - ever heard them in alleged Spanish?

At 0200, FSR continues on 5800 only, this time an interview about how
China plans to take over the world, with the help of the UN.

5010 // 7780 // 9395, May 30 at 0200 Radio Taiwán Internacional has
resumed in Spanish, unlike the first time I checked, May 27, when FSR
usurped/used up all four frequencies at this hour.

So which way is it supposed to be? WRMI websked has a hard time
matching reality details, but it now shows FSR only at 0130 on 5800 &
9395; and no FSR at 0200, just Radio Taiwan, on 5010, 5800 [sic], 7780
& 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 281-MCW kHz, May 29 at 0622, ND beacon DMO --- not Des
MOines as I first guess, but SeDalia, MissOuri, 25 watts. Classaxe.com
has something about it being shut down in Feb, decommissioned in April
and last logged 2020-03-25. Not off any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, May 29 at 1419, HIFER beacon K6FRC is JBA from
Patterson CA. WOR iog member Steve McGreevy says he has set up his own
beacon in Keeler CA:

``Hey, I have a 22m -10 mW quasi-part 15 beacon going in the 22m ISM
band where there are many. The ever weird 13560 has strange carrier
multi-plexi. noises as well as weird dits and other stuff. The CODAR
sweepers have left, yay! So many are running beacons plus/minus 13560,
and I do so most days: 13562.89 (or so) "RR-dash" via a 1/4 wave wire
up 1/6 wave in my shop building/radio-room sub-section - it is in the
sleeping loft and the horiz. wire goes along apex of my shop bldg. -
anyway, it is on a home-brew div. by 2 circuit via a 3rd. overtone
xtal. osc. with a CB-14 xtal., so half CB-14 is its freq., more or
less. LWCA lists these things, linked to HFU and v.v.

CNR-1 is occupying 13570 now, splashing its long-path/short-path
reverbing-LSB modulations upon the 22m experimental ISM band, bummer!
First with the LPE at 16z, than by 1700 getting stronger with
short-path signal. Def. CNR-1 // everything/jammers.``

So I am sure to look for RR and dash circa 13563, but no sign of it
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.930V, May 29 at 2346, WBCQ off-frequency-minus for a
change, with FKB preacher at S7-S9+10; just prior to AAAWWW, 6159.890v
is also on //, and a JBA 5130 may also be //. 2359 closing always with
wrong WINB frequency for his next airing, ``9625``, runs over into
canned WBCQ ID.

7489.94v, UT Sat May 30 from 0000, WBCQ with `AAAWWW`; as soon as WTO
theme finishes, phone rings and Allan has ``got to take this call``,
so fishes around for some music to play: how inconvenient. Back on at
0011, says it was engineering call. A&A talk for almost half an hour
without phone call interruptions about tech problems: rare May
lightning storm caused close-down -- that much have been Wed circa
2100 when there was no 7490 to run WOR. Call was from Chris at
Continental. Super-Station is off again [yes, 9330 vacant], as the
insulator ring around the PA tube has failed again. Discussing perils
of high voltage - a 4160 V switch; transmitter runs 14 kV @ 50 amps.
``If you get a shock, it`s always your fault``.

Finally at 0038 says trimulcasting on 5130, 6160, 7490; and they
discuss the bane of black flies in Maine summers; also had to
replace a bad tube for 7490 a few days ago; 0044 realizes he had not
forwarded the phone lines, which is why not even Freddy has
interrupted so far, and opens them on the 29th of May, YOOL 2020.
Reads a bit of e-mail. 0054 caller asks what times WORLD OF RADIO is
on? AW can`t remember but cosmikdebris gets a reply in just in time:
Sunday 11 pm EDT on 5130; Wednesday 5 pm on 7490. Very quick prayer
and off in time for Hal Turner at 0200. Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 7490 and 6160 but was two minutes
later on 5130. Allan and Angela in the studio. Phone rang immediately
and Allan said he had to take the call and put some music on. Allan
back at 0011. Said it was an engineering call that he had to take.
Then he said that Angela was beautiful and it'd been really hot in
Maine this past week, eighties and nineties. He also mentioned that
there had been a shutdown of everything at the station this past week
because of lightning. Then he mentioned that the phone call was from
the manufacturer of the big transmitter as the superstation was down
again. Same problem as twice before, an insulating ring at the bottom
of a tube. Then talk about how easy it is to get killed when working
on the transmitters. Manufacturer said they couldn't send a repair
crew because of the virus and Allan told them to just send him the
material for the ring and he'd fix it himself. He did try that when
the transmitter went down but didn't have the right material and it
only worked for about five minutes before going down again. Then a lot
of talk about this particular transmitter. Talk abut Angela's new
gardening adventures around the superstation and then Angela's
complaints about black flies. They also recently had a problem with a
tube on the 7490 transmitter and had to replace it. Some talk about
the unrest in the country and then some virus talk. Reading of emails
at 0052 and a phone call at 0053. Back to some of the email at 0056.
Very short closing prayer at 0059 and off the air at 0100. John,
Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6023.0, May 28 at 0550, JBA carrier at unusual spot.
Maybe it`s Radio Avogadro? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. The extremely distorted blobs previously found worst
around 7330 and 7680 are gone at 0545 check May 28; but they are back
at next check 1432 circa: 10545, 10185, 9830, 9470, 7680, 7505, 7330,
6970; 8038, 8405, 8765, 9115, 9295. Listening in FM or AM mode, they
include a big hum, and surely no relation to talk modulation.

Walkabout the block circa 00 UT May 29 with PL-880 portable tuned to
7680 finds no particular peak other than near power lines or electric
meters. I`ll have to sic OG&E on them. Next one peaks closer to 7320
than 7330, so 7335 can be heard on USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9648-9671 approx., May 29 at 0330, OTH radar pulsing
right in the middle of the 31m SWBC band, INTRUDER. May really be the
25-kHz wide kind. At least, no broadcast carriers detected within it.
In fact per Aoki not much scheduled at this hour: 9655 TWR via UAE;
9665v Brasil, 9675 China (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0440 UT May 29

** BRAZIL. 4885, following up my last report about monitoring for
Radio Clube do Pará, Belém: May 27 at 0455 I am hearing a poor signal
via Pardinho KiwiSDR, during a talk/interview show and it matches a
few seconds later the RCP webcast brought up via Streema --- but the
IDs after 0458 are for Rádio Bandeirantes, 840 et al., São Paulo! A
station which had abandoned SW some years ago, 6090, 9645, 11925 which
are no longer mentioned. Now it`s available to other stations at least
as an overnight network feed. 0459 IDs again only for it, not RCP, 2
am timecheck and news. The 4885 signal direct to here remains a JBA
carrier, must be very low power. BTW, our condolences to those
rational Brazilians who never supported ascension to power of the
world`s second-most-stupid president (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 245-MCW kHz, May 27 at 0624 UT, dash and YZE, ND
beacon which is 1000 watts from Gore Bay, Ontario, on the north shore
of Manitoulin Island between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, and which
dxinfocentre.com says is slated for decommissioning 2020-09-10. Nice
to be hearing this under summer conditions, with plenty of storms
across TX, 1664 km = 1034 stmi away. Simulaudible underneath weaker
and at a much different pitch is FS, which is 400 watts from Sioux
Falls - Rock, South Dakota (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, May 27 at 1358; 13020 VP, 12820 S5-S9,
against Sound of Hope. Started too late to find others this hour.

At 1444-1448: 12190 S3-S7; 11460 JBA carrier; 11440 JBA; 11170 JBA
carrier; 10960 S3-S5; 10820 S1-S3; 10720? JBA carrier. Aoki/NDXC shows
all vs Sound of Hope except 10960 vs RFA via SOH; and 10720 not
listed: instead, I compute that instead as a local mix, 9330 WBCQ plus
1390 KCRC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, May 27 at 1935, RHC English somewhat less distorted
than usual as ``Ed Newman`` opens a mailbag, mentions special
frequency for Africa, 11880! What does he know? This was replaced
weeks ago by 7380. Something`s always wrong at RHC. There is very good
reason they never announce full or current English frequencies: they
are totally unreliable! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9340, May 27 at 2200, RHC Spanish again on unlisted
frequency I logged before on one date only, May 1 at 0020. Is //
weaker 9535, and at 2236 check // 11760, but 9640 is something else in
Spanish, i.e. CRI via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imprisoning and
brainwashing Uighurs, Commies vs Commies when RHC is on proper
frequency 9640 instead of 9340, evidently another keypad slipdigit
punchup error. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also Commies vs
Commies on 9340 where the only listee is CNR1 jamming/Sound of Hope,
but none of that audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, May 28 at 0100, RTI Spanish via WRMI is still
here, opening the May 27 program; while last night we found all the
0200 RTI Spanish frequencies had been usurped by Freedom Synergy Radio
in English. At 0130, 5800 again switches to FSR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 27 at 2156, apparently local blob of noise here
vs NSS RTTY but no carrier detected from VOT now or at 2202. By 2224
under the QRM I do have a carrier and trace of TRT modulation.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2035 monitoring: not confirmed Wed May 27 at
2100 on 7490v, since WBCQ is off the air, as reported in next item.

Confirmed UT Thu May 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, good via Rochester SDR,
VP into OK.

Next WOR 2036 should be ready by early UT Friday May 29, for first
WRMI broadcast at 2200 on 9955.

** U S A. 7490, Wed May 27 at 2051, no signal from WBCQ and still
missing after 2100 instead of WORLD OF RADIO`s only broadcast on this
frequency. At 2201 I notice that the Super-station 9330 is also OFF!
Must be some serious problems at Monticello. As of 0010 UT May 28, no
May 27 twits from AW; his latest dated May 26 was promoting ``more
great programming`` on 3265 at 9 pm [EDT = 0100 UT]. Guess what, there
is NO info about what programming that may be at
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=3265
And under summer bandnoise conditions, 3265 range is very limited.
Coincidentally I am getting some huge spurblobs on the 7 and 9 MHz
band, tempted to think they could be out-of-order WBCQs, but surely
not, as not heard on SDRs in TX or VA; see UNIDENTIFIED. 7490v is back
on air at 0045 UT May 28 check with rock music but 9330 is still off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, May 27 at 1452, KVOH back on after about two weeks`
absence, S9/+10 with gospel music and Spanish alabanzas; as before, a
few Hz on the minus side. I asked Ray Robinson to explain about the
``Shoffner-Harris`` transmitter designated on their website:

``Hi, Glenn. What you are hearing is the RCA running at 50 kW. The
'Shoffner Harris' is the transmitter we acquired from WTWW (who got it
from KTWR in Guam). It was originally a Harris SW100 (not SW100A or
B), with many components missing or damaged beyond repair. Over the
past five years, it has been radically modified by our chief engineer,
Jim Shoffner, and has thus become a rather unique machine. In
recognition of Jim's efforts, our president, John Tayloe, dubbed it
the 'Shoffner Harris'. It is still being worked on, but at this point,
it is not yet on the air. Ray Robinson, Strategic Communications
Group, http://www.voiceofhope.com Voice of Hope World Radio Network``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7330-7350, May 27 at 2051, horrible wideband blob of
extremely distorted audio, the cadence of continuous rapid speech but
totally unintelligible in AM or FM modes, let alone SSB. Separate from
and stronger than Grimesland DRM centred on 7345. I tune around and
find more of same thing, very approx. ranges: 7650-7720 peaking 7680
or 7690; weaker ones 6935-6970-6995, and circa 6610, 6260, 5900. At
2156 checking 9830 for Turkey, another such blob has landed here, and
circa 9470.

Since WBCQ is AWOL from both 7490v and 9330.00, I wonder if those
transmitters could be extremely out of order; but surely not, as at
2237 VA and TX SDRs are not hearing any of these. Must be something
local, and I sure hope temporary. The ``modulation`` does not match
any of our three AM talk stations on 960, 1390 or 1640, compared at
2242.

Not rechecked until 0115 May 28: blobs in the above 7 and 9 MHz ranges
are still there! And I tune around WOOB to find some more altho not as
strong, circa: 8400, 8760, 9115, 10200, 10550. I don`t see any pattern
relating these frequency/ranges (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13658-USB, May 27 at 1350, 2-way INTRUDERS, very weak,
not Spanish, intonation somewhat like Brazilian but not that either
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
