** ALGERIA [non]. 9620, May 20 at 0612, Qur`an VP S3-S4, as indeed TDA
is scheduled this hour only, 500 kW, 194 degrees from Issoudun, FRANCE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, May 20 at 0043, RHC music presumed English hour altho
// 6165 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC. This serves another
purpose, fulcrum for 5990 CRI relay leapfrogging over to produce 6010
intermodulaton mixing product (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non non]. 9490, May 20 at 0037, no Radio República and no
jamming, since not scheduled in DST season until 0100-0300 (Sat/Sun to
0400) per WRTH Update, probably meaning UT Sun/Mon. Jamming is often
heard later and surprised it`s not on earlier. RR is via RMI via
FRANCE, rather indirectly from Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6934.9, May 20 at 0019, rock music, S6-S7, probably
Captain Morgan Shortwave, heard a few nights ago on this same offset
frequency. Yes, others agree here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,54158.0.html
Gone at my next check 0053; they say he went off at 0042 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, May 20 at 0050 UT, KZLS Enid is S9+40 of dead air;
recheck shortly after 0100, had resumed with talkshow, presumably far
-right. See also Tornado report (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.3, May 20 at 0108 check, KIEL Loyal is back on air
with gospel music and has been for a few days, altho missing at last
log May 8-9-10 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. During the long-predicted tornado outbreak Monday
afternoon May 20, quick survey 2020-2040 UT, of which radio stations
are plugged into which OKC TV stations in continuous storm coverage,
at least until prime time:

KFOR ``4`` earlier mentioned only 96.1 & 101.9, but also found on
88.5, 89.7, 94.7, 102.7, 1000, 1340

KOCO ``5``: heard on 91.7 KOSU; but at 2138 KOCO crawler lists only
all the KGOU network frequencies; at 2148 KOCO also found on 1640
KZLS. One wonders how much of this be ad-hoc, perhaps TV stations not
even aware of all their repeaters.

KWTV ``9``: 107.7, 960, 1520; 107.1 & 106.3 Enid: KWTV in and out

Own live local coverage: KOKP 1020 & KQSR 105.1 Perry/Stillwater

Notable by their absence from above are a number of other major FM
signals which blithely continued with normal music or talk
programming.

98.9 KYIS had audio of some TV but quit before I could match it, ``in
and out``

KOKH ``25`` Fox also in continuous weather but unfound on any radio.
It`s a poor fourth in the market, but managing to do some OBs now.

89.1 Family Radio translator in Enid dead air; doesn`t take much to
disrupt it.

NWS overrode everything(?) for tornado warning at 2035 UT, even those
stations providing more detailed continuous coverage. This also
applied to Altice/Suddenlink cable TV in Enid. During this, channel-
changing is disabled.

Also for the duration, my rooftop TV antennas are disconnected, but I
had picked up some new rabbit ears for $ 12 on the Radio Shack
closeout. Also with a swiveling UHF loop between the rods; strangely,
the ears still need to be extended for better UHF reception. At
ground level, the only OKC TV station I can get, cutting in and out,
is KWTV-25. At least makes for some more DTV pixillated art if I can
catch it with the camera.

Parts of Garfield County were under tornado warning at times, but
fortunately not our part --- yet. There has been plenty of lightning
and torrential rain; flooding in our area not a problem --- yet.
Storms are to continue until midday Tuesday.

Monday afternoon storms were north/NW of OKC, and in west/SW OK, not
yet OKC itself, which would get hit later in evening.

But only KWTV blew away CBS primetime (until 0200), putting that on
KSBI; KOCO at first referred ABC viewers to MeTV 5.2, something it
seldom does, but soon ABC was back on 5.1. KFOR put NBC News on KAUT
at 2230, but itself went to NBC at 0000 UT, of course with numerous
cut-ins (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 7420, UT Mon May 20 at 0027, Romanian folk music S9+25,
while // 5980, presumed still there under wall-of-noise Cuban jamming
against no TV Martí on weekends. Alan Roe`s ``Music on Shortwave``
schedule shows this hour contains ``Zi-le D-Alead-Ale Noastre (Folk
mx)``; ex-9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 9700, May 20 at 0611, RRI S7-S4 in German, becoming
audible and NZ is conveniently out of the way having cut back to one
hour before 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 7490.2v, UT Mon May 20 from 0025 tune-in, S9-S8
WBCQ with `Encore` classical music from Radio Tumbril, another
enjoyable show hosted by Brice Avery. WBCQ switched to non-classical
fill music about 0057 before the final piece finished. 0100 WBCQ
business plug and standard sign-off --- but stayed on 0102-0105* with
more music, rock, which I suppose continued to fill the webcast (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K. 7300, May 20 at 0031, English news headlines, BBCWS ID, 0032
into some featurre programme, S9-S7; is beamed 82 degrees from
Woofferton this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 2940+, May 19 at 0605, HJNT, Radio Huellas, Cali, as

found it non-knocked when he chex. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
But not always the same things all the time.

This is during `En Contacto` DX program, but it doesn`t finish at
1350! By then I am on 15230 hearing the RHC IS amid the show, and more
Arnie, until `En Cia del Dr` finally starts at 1357. Very unusual as
RHC Spanish programming is normally within one minute of nominal.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

[and non]. 15140 should be // 15230, but at 1355 May 19 a JBA signal
on 15140 I cannot match with traces of modulation. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. Could Oman have resumed on 15140 from 9620, where there
is also a JBA carrier? Nothing else is known on 15140 ---

Except: could it be 2 x 7570 WRMI, which is aimed right at us with
Supreme Master TV?? Next time must try to mod-match that. Harmonix
from Okeechobee are extremely rare. WRMI`s other 7 MHz which could
multiply onto 19m would be: 15460 and 15560. The latter has happened
due to mistuning, but soon repaired.

By 1425 May 19, still no RHC on 15140, and 15230 is S9 but JBM.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. With so few extracontinental SW

** U S A. Continued from SOUTH CAROLINA [non}: 9330.15v & 7490.17v,
May 17 at 2357, WBCQs monitored on two receivers, smoothly merge into
same fill music following separate programming, and at 0000:00 sharp
May 18, ``William Tell Overture`` theme starts, plays complete with no
interjexions! 0003 dead air for a minute; 0004 oncomes Allan Weiner
saying it`s been a rough day, with crazy issues, but undetailed. Once
again he`s very depressed this week and says he almost didn`t want to
do the show. It`s not clear whether this is all about the project, or
the political situation, or both. Says trimulcasting on 3265, 9330,
7490. I listen to the first half on 9, then 7 is better.

I gather that the supertransmitter has not been on since last week, as
the antenna is still not ready; delays due to heavy rain for two
weeks. Funding problems, issues over money; local contractors gouging.
Invites phone calls right away but no one seems to inquire exactly
what the problems are. I keep listening hoping for some useful info.
At 0038 says they are buying an old ladder firetruck for $ 5K to reach
the antenna heights, instead of renting a ladder truck which has been
costing $ 22K per month. New transmitter is so complicated, watch out!
When working, it`s great. Now hopes to get into full-fledged operation
sometime in June. 0045 reads a few pirate items from Free Radio Weekly
just published, including, unattributed, my log of Captain Morgan SW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, May 18 at 1330, WWCR with a sporadic-E boost to
S9+10/20. Still at 1512, S9/S9+20. 6m Es map not checked until 1700
when there is not much, nor on 10m, but latter does show some golden
TE - Trans-Equatorial contacts between SE USA and deep South America
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15809.918, May 18 at 1512, WTWW-3 rarely on with classic
rock, distorted overmodulation, and as always offset way below
15810.000. S9+10 via my inside longwire due to storming. Still at
1551.

[non] While in the neighborhood, look for World Music Radio, Denmark,
200 watts on 15805, which SHN says is on the air this Sat & Sun at
0700-2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, May 18 at 1511, again this Saturday no signal from
KVOH when `Wavescan` is scheduled; off or not propagating? OSOB is JBA
carrier from 17815 WHRI. KVOH had come back earlier this week after
last week`s outage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, May 18 at 0533, finally no signal from the mystery
open carrier which has been on here several nights (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1734 UT May 18

** CANADA. 1610, May 17 at 0500 UT, music seems Spanish, and also a
second carrier making a slight beat, both looping NE/SW. CHHA Toronto,
Voces Latinas, is usual dominator here. 3-year-old program grid at
http:///chha1610am.ca merely shows `All-Night Music`, but as of last
August log, heard in Portuguese Portuguese, and could also be Punjabi
which is hardly Latin.

I would love to get XEUACH, but probably has migrated to 1130 by now.
More likely than a TIS is CHRN Montreal in almost the same direxion as
Toronto which easily bloxit. How far apart are they? MW Offsets as of
Oct 2018 showed CHRN on 1609.9987, CHHA on 1609.9995, i.e. only 0.8 Hz
difference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, May 17 at 0530, RHC English is suptorted here at S9+40;
// 6060 modulation good as usual; 6100 less loud; 6165 & 6000 JBM.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

12200, May 17 at 0543, RHC English JBA with ``Chariots of Fire`` theme
to `Cultural Report`, // 6100 as this second harmonic beats the
nightmiddle MUF. NO signals where 2 x other frequencies would land:
12330, 12120-RTTY, 12000. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

9535, May 17 at 0538, RHC English JBA // 6060. This one is never
supposed to be in English but sometimes stays on late after Spanish to
0500. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

6100, May 17 at 1149, RHC is S9+10 but JBM, while // 6000 is S9+10 and
undermodulated. Neither provides a second harmonic now; something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 6350, May 17 at 1153, romantic solo song, maybe even
in English, S8-S9 with jamming CCI; similar on 6600 but not positively
// with less QRM. 6350 is Echo of Hope, while 6600 is Voice of the
People. Both operated by the National Intelligence Service, from
different sites, and supposedly with separate programming as
clandestines into North Korea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 610, May 17 at 1121 UT, 2 minutes before LSR, Spanish DJ
and lively music from SW, presumed XEGS Guasave, Sinaloa, slowly
losing out to KCSP, under which I can still hear a choral NA at 1132.

650, May 17 at 1121, XETNT Los Mochis, Sinaloa, with different Spanish
DJ wakeup show, 1129 ``Buenos DÃas, Yarderos --- Radio 65``, and NA,
1131 back to music. Loops same as sibling 610 station. This is
stronger and holds up longer than XEGS. XETNT callsign seldom heard
and not today. By this late at sunrise, when I would have preferred to
sleep another two hours, the only two audible XEs on the lower band
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 6170, May 17 at *1259:10, RNZI bellbird, S9,
1300 Timesignal and RNZP News, first day of new frequency to avoid
Shiokaze clash on ex-5980; as Adrian Sainsbury had informed me a few
hours before, after I notified him of the problem. No QRM now as
Pyongyang is away for the A-season.

Back on 5980 & 6040, Shiokaze manages only JBA carriers this far into
the dayside, but the collision was terrible further west as Ron Howard
had reported from California (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1160, May 17 at 1205 UT TexMexmx, with fast SAH, 1210 fade,
1212 back with slow SAH; 1213 ad for Rio Bravo Supermarket, and
finefoods.com?; another ad harder to understand by super-hype voice
actor. Loops NE/SW. The only possible SS around here (no more San
Antonio) is KCTO, CoL Cleveland MO (address in Liberty, i.e. Kansas
City market), and in fact Rio Bravo Supermarket chex out in Kansas
City KS (also Wichita). KCTO is 5 kW aiming only north, so hard to
believe I`m getting it so well, as I have a few years before (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, May 17 at 0532, mystery open carrier again, S9-S6
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15730, May 17 at 1303-1305* open carrier S7-S9, likely
Greenville-B routine transmitter check prior to VOA French at 2000-
2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
