** CHINA [and non]. 13070 & 12880, June 3 at 1358, CNR1 jammers with song, about to go off.
>From 1433 June 3, a bunch more for this hour, some with // audio, others carriers only and presumed: 13160 S4-S8, 12820, 12800, 12190. At 1437, 11580, 11460, 11440, 11170, 11150, 11100, 11070 S9-S6, 10920, 10870, 10820, 10160, 10040, 9060; At 1452, 11775 // 11070, 11900; At 1455, 12210, 12450? 11370, June 3 at 1439, JBA carrier presumed rather new local mix of 1390 KCRC + 9980 WWCR TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, Wed June 3 at 2200-2230, REE English monitored for convenience via UTwente SDR, much better there than 9690: second program in revived series is nothing but Allison Hughes narrating, with some musical relief, a detailed review of how the pandemic has affected Spain, finished just in time, ``hasta pronto`` for the 2230 timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring: confirmed Wed June 3 from 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490v, VP. Next, and last repeat: 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Terry Colgan, Austin TX, who sent a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily in US funds as they will convert. One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. New WOR 2037 should be ready by early UT Friday June 5 for first WRMI broadcast at 2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, June 3 at 2051, 9955 WRMI is already on instead of *2100, with screaming gospel huxter, Blalock the Blaster as the `Full Gospel Hour` [sic] is now scheduled M-F at *2030. 15770, June 3 at 2057, on WRMI good signal, Bob Biermann musing, upwrapping HIS `Your Weekend Show` as far as you can get from a weekend, on Wednesday! So much for R. Tirana relay at 2030: in fact, I see on the skedgrid that it and preceding Prague at 2000 are now relegated to Mon & Tue only, obviously dispensable for other programming the rest of week. 2100 into TOMBS. 7780, June 3 at 2100, no signal detectable from WRMI-1, off? JBA carriers are on lower 5950 & 5800. 9395, June 3 at 2102, WRMI relay of RAE in Italian as scheduled, but will it be octolingual by hourend? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Correxion: of the three 1270 stations, one of them is non-direxional, KSCB, fixed: 1270, June 2 at 2014 UT, in full daytime conditions, KRXO Claremore (Tulsa) OK silly sports talk at 5 kW with heavy SAH of exactly 1 Hz from another groundwaver: got to be either 50 kW KFLC from Benbrook (Metroplex) TX with Spanish sports talk; or 5 kW KSCB Liberal KS talk/sport. KRXO and KFLC direxional to complicate. Need to DF and/or pull a language. Which I undertake 24+ hours later, June 3 at 2039 UT; on the same setup, R75 and E-W longwire, now the subaudible heterodyne is only 47/minute or 0.78 Hz, so one or both must vary over time. Then at 2045, I try the DX-398 portable outside, which has good sensitivity and nulling: The main SAH peaks ESE/WNW, i.e. Claremore and Liberal which are a few degrees from colinear, opposite direxions thru Enid. At 2048, I count the SAH at 50/minute = 0.83 Hz --- really varying, or margin of error? But almost-nulling those, favoring SSW, I hear another weaker beat, of 154/minute = 2.57 Hz, and that has to be from KFLC in TX, against one of the others. Next at 2053 I try the NRD-545 with E-W magloop. This pulls in two audios, both English AFAICT, and the beat is 49/minute = 0.82 Hz. I cannot measure frequencies to fraxions of Hz, but only *compare* those which are not zero-beat --- and lax engineering of US stations insures that is: most of them. Two of these stations make mwoffsets list, only a year or two old: 1270 1269.9985 USA KRXO (Claremore, OK) 2018-12-01 1270 1270.0006 USA KFLC (Fort Worth, TX) 2019-01-03 That means the SAH between them would be 2.1 Hz, not too far from my current reading. Distances, city-to-Enid city: Claremore OK 203 km = 126 stmi Liberal KS 281 km = 174 stmi Benbrook TX 415 km = 258 stmi Ground conductivity is mostly 30 over this part of OK, the greatest to be found anywhere overland, maybe into 15 by BB TX. Tulsa itself may be 15, but only 8 in a small area west of Tulsa between us --- 8 is the same poor figure as across the MO/AR Ozarx. Direxionality: 5 kW KRXO favors ENE/WSW with minor lobe at right angle, but Enid appears to be close to a notch between them. 50 kW KFLC aims major lobe to the east but fairly broad with some daytime signal thisaway; 5 kW KSCB non-direxional. This is an example of *pure DXing* as we have no interest whatsoever in these stations` stupid sportstalk programming, whatever the language. And no ionosphere required! (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9025, June 3 at 1445, open carrier (WOOB CNR1 jammers are always(?) on -0 frequencies) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10930 approx., June 3 at 1444, local noise blob outlier, along with stronger usual peak areas in 9-11 MHz span (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 13131.31, June 3 at 1400, very weak ``puta madre`` 2-way in Spanish; must have a fine sense of symmetry (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0024 UT June 4

** GREECE. 9420, June 3 at 0034, I find Voice of Greece S9+10 in English, interviewing someone in Zimbabwe, with consecutive translation and discussion of what he has said; about challenges in agriculture, climate change, water shortage, paying off debt run up by previous government; hopes to make a turnaround like Greece. Compares the two countries geographically. There are some connexions, like Greek churches and schools in Harare, and plans for the first Greek university in Africa. The subject is of Greek heritage, his father still speaking Greek; hopes to visit Greece often with his family when that becomes possible. End of interview by 0051. One of those surprise benefits of SW bandscanning, as I never expected to be learning about Zimbabwe in this way (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KUWAIT. 17550, June 2 at 2002, no signal at all from R. Kuwait, Arabic to C&W North America at 2000-2400, as scheduled for A-20 as well as B-seasons, 250 kW at 350 degrees. If it ever make it, this is the time, June-July with maximum Arctic transpolar insolation, while it`s completely foolish to try it in the winters, starting out near midnight local time! I am about to conclude it continue to be a phantom service, not even really trying. With a few more sunspots, it`s possible and have logged it only during previous summers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185, June 3 at 0029, S9+10 open carrier/dead air from XEPPM: I struggle to detect any JBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11730, June 2 at 2313, something new here, very poor sounds Spanish; could it be RRI? ex-11800 usurped by Cuba? No CCI there any more as I reported immediately RHC moved from 11850 a few weeks ago. This would be // 11990 RRI, but that signal is JBA, too weak to match on a second receiver. By 2325 I check them on UTwente SDR, and yes, both are VG with RRI in stilted Spanish about their anti-Communist revolution. Must be very recent switch as latest HFCC dated 29 May still shows RRI on 11800, not 11730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17775-, June 2 at 2000, KVOH is on today but JBA with English and Spanish IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130, UT Wed June 3 at 0122, this WBCQ is on but JBA, presumably with W5KUB`s `Amateur Radio Roundtable` of Tuesday evenings. Simultaneously, 5085 WTWW-2 is loud but no QSO ham show, rather Ted hyping ``Global Hot 100`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. By June 3, WWCR has belatedly put up new schedules; transmitters dated June 1-August 31, and programming as of June 1: http://www.wwcr.com/program-guides/WWCR_Program_Guide.pdf 9980-7520-5890, as expected from monitoring, WWCR-4 has now been *sold out* to Brother Scare, 24/7 except for 3 hours weekdays it was already committed to other gospel huxters. BS had previously occupied lots of fallow hours on the other transmitters, and those continue on 3215, 4840, 9350, 12160, 13845, 15825 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1270, June 2 at 2014 UT, in full daytime conditions, KRXO Claremore (Tulsa) OK silly sports talk at 5 kW with heavy SAH of exactly 1 Hz from another groundwaver: got to be either 50 kW KFLC from Benbrook (Metroplex) TX with Spanish sports talk; or 5 kW KSCB Liberal KS talk/sport. All of them direxional to complicate. Need to DF and/or pull a language (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. June 2 at 2010, the 9-11 MHz area is free of local noise blobs, but I fear it`s some device intermittently turned on if not random electrical shorts (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0342 UT June 3

** CUBA. Correxion: initially I called this REE instead of RHC! Fixed:
11950-11975, June 1 at 2250, RHC splattering out of 11950 transmitter; sounds a lot like the local noise blobs OG&E has been working on, so at first feared they remain, but these have matching modpeaxe to 11950. Not unusual for this frequency to be active before 2300 despite its razón de ser the `Mesa Redonda` separate TV audio soundtrack hour nominally from 7 pm local (not 00-01 UT, don`t you believe Aoki/NDXC`s outdated standard time info among others for RHC). Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, June 2 at 1331, girl-molester Brother Scare is here on reactivated WWCR-4 transmitter; this frequency available 12-24 UT, elsewhen 7520 or 5890, the latter again BSing circa 0600. Looks like TOM has expanded greatly onto this formerly mostly-idle transmitter. WWCR still has not updated its transmitter or program schedules for June. So how about TOM? Ha! Still a year out-of-date: https://overcomerministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Overcomer-Ministry-Radio-Log-June-2019.pdf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. (9690), Now I`ve listened to the archive recording of the first resumed REE English broadcast June 1: https://mediavod-lvlt.rtve.es/resources/TE_SEMIF01/mp3/9/2/1591100322329.mp3 Justin Coe & Alison Hughes are together again, but they speak for only the first 4 minutes; no one at REE has been lost, but some colleagues in other parts of RNE. In general tribute to COVID-19 victims, they introduce this beautiful piece of music, Requiem by Francisco Guerrero, not familiar to me, but even in extended podcast it`s truncated, cut off abruptly at 32:42. And it looks like they are back to their old format for ``English``, mostly filled with music rather than much if anything about current events in Spain or anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, June 2 at 1615, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is on in English, but poor signal, this hour registered as only 250 kW at 300 degrees to western and central Canada --- if on 15105! AFAIK, WBCQ-6 SuperStation has never attained any frequency but 9330, despite http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A20&broadc=BCQ' for 6195, 13590, 15105, 12080, at various times besides 9330. AW has now twitted about 9330 resuming: ``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ 22m[inutes ago at 1505 UT June 2] The BIG one back on the air. Replaced the screen bypass capacitor (again). Hopefully it will hold. Tune 9330khz for WLC programming. Today at 3pm tune in 7490khz for good tunes and commentary. 3265khz evenings at 9pm for more. All for you on the BCQ. A&A in front of the PA [caption].`` He still doesn`t say *what* programming is on 3265, inaudible in OK, but here`s a report to the WOR iog: ``WBCQ, Monticello, Maine, 3265, May 28, 0455, EE with re-broadcast of WHVW, 950 AM, Hyde Park, New York programming with continuous eclectic mix of older jazz/big band tunes. ID at 0412 "950 On Your Radio, WHVW", more music, this time older R&B, then off at 0413 in mid-song. No WBCQ ID heard; 34233 (JRC NRD 535D; antenna 28m longwire with 9:1 Unun) (Robert Butterfield, Columbia, MD, USA)`` WHVW, 500/57 watts U1, is the station of Pirate Joe = J. P. Ferraro, AW`s longtime cohort, not the only case such programming has filled time on WBCQs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1520, June 2 at 0605 UT, KOKC OKC with equal level QRM, soon recognized as the KYND Cypress TX barker-for-business loop, despite being a 25 kW DAYTIMER. This has been going on for over a year, at least sporadically. Where`s the FCC? KOKC must not even care to complain, as it does not care either to resume its licensed full power of 50 kW. Who cares about ``clear channel 1520``, with a translator on 95.3? 1540-, same time, a LAH here no doubt the off-frequency Houston-market neighbor KGBC Galveston TX; ditto, FCC. 1560, not hearing Vietnamese from usually dominant KGOW Bellaire TX; something changed there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1370, June 2 at 0559 UT, I strain to make out a station slightly atop the graveyard-like jumble, and can almost imagine an ID as KGNO, and mention of FM 103.something? That Dodge City KS station cannot be heard on 5 kW ND day power as it used to be, at least at SR/SS, but night power, if any, probably running 24h is 230 watts. NRC AM Log does not show any FM for it, nor does own token website: https://www.swksradio.com/kgno-1370-am/ The Log does show a possible 1370 with FM 103.5, KAWL York NE with 176 ND watts night on 1370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. The local noise blobs are still rampant, checked June 2 at 0536-, typically ~20 kHz wide, and now I see a pattern, at intervals of ~360 kHz apart: starting with 9850-9870 at S7-S8; then: 9490-9510, 9130-9150, 8770-8790, 8410-8430, 8055-8070, 7697-7717, 7340-7355, circa 6993 weak. At 1328 June 2, I find some higher ones at different intervals: 11215-11300, 10905-10945, 10690-10720, 10560-10580, 10200-10225, 9830-9855. At 1418, even higher, 11630-11655 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1717 UT June 2

** CUBA. 11950-11975, June 1 at 2250, REE splattering out of 11950 transmitter; sounds a lot like the local noise blobs OG&E has been working on, so at first feared they remain, but these have matching modpeaxe to 11950. Not unusual for this frequency to be active before 2300 despite its razón de ser the `Mesa Redonda` separate TV audio soundtrack hour nominally from 7 pm local (not 00-01 UT, don`t you believe Aoki/NDXC`s outdated standard time info among others for RHC). Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** INDIA. 7380, June 1 at 0053, S9+25 signal with DSB tone close to 1000 Hz, almost overcoming 7375 Romania; what? 0101 YL in unID language, music with very minor harmonies; 0109 now OM in S Asian language. It`s the AIR Sindhi service at 01-02, which Jose Jacob said resumed May 9. Sindhis are in both northern India, and Pakistan. But this is an ``external`` service; HFCC registered as 0045-0200, 400 [sic] kW at 300 degrees from Bengaluru (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925, June 2 at 0043, VP signal, mushy music chanting & yelling, on USB & LSB, but unstable carrier seems reduced. Several logs here say it`s Yeah Man Radio, but no complaints about the audio, rather ``sounding great here``: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,67858.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, June 1 at 2130, accurate timesignal and ID as REE, so back in business as of today, after default to domestic RNE relay fillers. YL`s program, didn`t catch title, said it was the first one in three months. In Spanish. Unfortunately I was distracted after 2200, but by 2245 recheck REE is in French on 9690 VG, 11940 good, 11670 VP, and 12030 missing --- so English probably also resumed at 2200-2230 (M/W/F). That`s soon confirmed as I check the WOR iog: Alan Roe, Teddington UK, said at 2121: ``The REE programme guide on their website at https://www.rtve.es/radio/radio-exterior/programacion/ has today (1 June) changed to show programming in English from 1 June (at 2200, French at 2230 and Portuguese at 2300 UT). If confirmed shortly, then that will be a welcome return to shortwave of these language services following the disruption caused by Covid-19. Scheduled frequencies are 9690, 11670, 11940 and 12030 kHz (12030 not currently audible here (2115 UT - may be off air at present).`` And he follows up at 2207: ``REE English language service confirmed back on-air at 2200 on 1 June on 9690, 11670 & 11940 kHz, with a short introduction by Justin Coe and Alison Hughes remembering lost colleagues at REE and playing Requiem music.`` Harold Frodge, MI, adds at 2210: 11940 VGood at 2200, 11670 fair & only a tone on 12030. 9690 best. At 2205 running Requiem by Francisco Guererro`` I want to hear that. REE`s huge podcast archive has not yet added the latest #2162, since 14 March, tnx to direct link in the WOR Hitlist: https://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/emision-en-ingles/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue June 2 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor S7-S9, but good via UTwente altho with its local click/buzz QRM problem. Next: 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [off air last week] 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Terry Colgan, Austin TX, who sent a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily in US funds as they will convert. One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, June 2 at 0046, WLCR via WBCQ-6, June 2 at 0046 is back on in Brazuguese, only S8 to S9+10 offbeam here. Guess they rerefixed the ring around the tube socket thingie, but for how long? Was not on earlier June 1. As of 0325 UT June 2, no AW twits about this yet, since the last one May 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.98 approx., UT Tue June 2 at 0051, the unique Spanish accent of Bill Tilford during FTIOM on WBCQ-1; with BFO can tell the carrier is unstable. Good signal level by this hour. Nothing on 6160v or 5130 now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7520, June 2 at 0050, Brother Scare is here now at S9+50 via WWCR-4. Wacko stuff about HAARP causing earthquaxe. On the transmitter sked expiring May 31, the only one yet visible, 7520 was available 00-02 UT but preferable totally blank programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0414 UT June 2

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST
My latest Hitlist update. http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Belgium - R Onda: Added links to this station 2) Madagascar - Madagascar World Voice: Added links for MWV 3) USA - KNLS: Updated home and freq links to point to World Christian Broadcasting web site 4) Vatican - R Vaticana: Updated links to frequencies (thanks to Mike Terry in WOR iog) Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be late June. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, May 31) ** BRAZIL.. 9666.650V, June 1 at 0545, JBA carrier from presumed RVM always off-frequency and varying considerably. Last night was stronger with music but did not get a precise fix on it, I think on the minus side of 9666. Also seems to be the only ZY left on 31m, at least overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 13160, June 1 at 1359, S5-S7, pop song to ToH timesignal and off 1400*; another listed CNR1 jammer and SOH frequency, but no sign of the victim. No others in the area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, June 1 at 0556, RHC again absent from this English frequency after 0500, and suspect also absent for Spanish before 0500. Remainders: 6145 S9+20 and suptorted; 6100 S9+40 suptorted; 6000 S9+20 and distorted during music show. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Bob Biermann replies to my 89.1 Oasis Network log: ``Non coms can use any means to feed a non commercial translator. You can even rebroadcast a station from thousands of miles away.`` Which is what 88.3 had been doing; well, hundreds (Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U K [non]. 9745V, June 1 at 0550, poor in African language, unstable frequency. Listed as BBC Hausa via AUSTRIA; but maybe substitute site as Ivo reported some Moosbrunns missing. Unlikely Bahrain listed 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 9455, UT Mon June 1 at 0100, WRMI with Radio Emma Toc, as scheduled now for a few weeks but failed to appear; so first time I`ve heard it. This is the second monthly broadcast. Only a few minutes at first about the 2MT story, to be continued, etc., etc. 0116 excerpt from Wavescan; 0123 about numbers stations such as Lincolnshire Poacher. Several times refers to own website for linx to more about segments --- but there aren`t any! https://www.emmatoc.org/worldservice At least it explain the strange name, which was certainly a poor choice for fonetix: ``Footnote: Why 'Emma Toc' ...? The wireless station was required to read out their allocated callsign '2MT' at regular intervals, & in 1922 the British Army phonetic alphabet of the time was used. 'M' was 'Emma' & 'T' was 'Toc', so '2MT' became 'Two Emma Toc'. The amusing & flippant manner in which Captain Peter Eckersley read out the phonetic version of '2MT' resulted in the station being affectionately known as 'Two Emma Toc'!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring via Rochester NY KiwiSDR: confirmed UT Monday June 1 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, good; 0300.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130, good; 0330 on WRMI 9955, not audible there, but in Colombia atop jamming except during some deep fades. Also confirmed on WRN webcast at 0130. Also confirmed Monday June 1 from 1800:45 or so on IRRS via ???? 7290, monitored on UTwente SDR, VG but usual AACI splatter from 7280/7300? However, off to a rough start: tune-in 1755 only signal is VG Qur`an from Iran, 1756 VIRI Italian opening as ``Radio Italia`` at 1750-1820 on 5925, where it is supposed to be. Heavy collision once IRRS carrier on *1758, making rippling SAH; 1759 bits of music on and off, 1800 IRRS sign-on with Milano PO Box and phone number only; FSN Washington headlines; still clashing as WOR opens, but Iran cut off about 1801:30* and we are in clear past 1829, only the low ``RTTY`` undercurrent also audible. Something`s always SNAFU at Sirjan. Next: 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [off air last week] 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Terry Colgan, Austin TX, who sent a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily in US funds as they will convert. One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7490.0, May 31 at 2307, WBCQ closer to nominal than usual, S9+25 fading to S7, during Harry Shearer`s `Le Show` --- I would like to hear this every week but the scheduling is very inconvenient, up against 60 Minutes. Modulation is unusually muffled. Topic is how Amazon sends out promotion to TV stations disguised as ``news``, including to OK`s own KOCO. All other `BCQ frequencies are OFF, or inaudible, including the SS on 9330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5985, June 1 at 0558, Qur`an --- what`s this, new frequency for Algeria via France? Had just heard that on 6125 and 7595 but now they are off. Soon to WRMI canned ID and off 0600*. O yeah, WRMI runs 5985 this late only on UT Mondays with Yeshua show, who probably would not be qool with Qur`an from the World Music fill reel. This WRMI-2 is the only one on the odd azimuth of 222 degrees to Central America, primarily for NHK relay at 0400-0430, also various gospel huxters or DX programs at 0330-0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5890, June 1 at 0600, WWCR-4 is on not only with dead air but TOM modulation, // 3215 while 4840 has something else altho both supposed to be Overcomer ``Ministy`` or ``Ministries``, while correct word is ``Ministry``. WWCR website only shows transmitter sked expiring May 31, while June 1 is a normal changeover date, so maybe now 5890 intentionally on. Anyway the transmitter skeds covering 24 hours each are only what`s *available*, (5890 at 02-12), not axual usage. For that we need to see the new June pdf program skeds; while May still shows nothing on 5890 except 02-04 UT Tue-Sat non-TOM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17775-, June 1 at 1442 at first no signal from KVOH but then a JBA carrier; 1904 recheck, definitely on to S9+20 but undermodulated, and in English! not Spanish, about God and COVID-19. May I suggest that the Omnipotent one could eliminate it, poof! if enough believers beg It to (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Local scratchy noise blob survey May 31 after 2300, approx. ranges, peaking not necessarily right in their middles: 6878-7000, 7340-7365, 7680-7730, [8-9 not checked], 9125-9155, 9480-9530, 9830-9885, 10190-10240; the top one weak and none audible higher. Next check at 0543 June 1, still there around approx. 7350, 7705, 9500, 9855. OG&E is searching them out Monday morning/noon June 1. No confirmation yet that he found the source, but seem to be gone by 1900, leaving only general buzz noise level across the bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1927 UT June 1
