** CUBA. 13605, May 29 at 0635, add another frequency to the pointless
overjamming, as OCB of course only uses this in daytime. Sounds like
mixture of at least two sites at different pulse rates (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000 & 6060 & 6100 & 6165, May 29 at 0702, all four RHCs are
off, so Esperantists are out of luck for first weekly broadcast on
Sundays at 0700, now imaginary. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
However, I do hear its sad theme starting about 1501 on 11760 and
presumably secret 15140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Sunday May 29 at 0630, RNZP is S9+10/20, SSOB
as usual, not in English but some voices in language, probably Maori,
occasionally lapsing into English terms; 0632 mentions Liam Neeson.
0633 outro and into English music request show of leftover items, from
last night? This is contrary to the schedules online:

RNZP says Sundays at noon-8 pm [= 0000-0800 UT], it`s relaying RNZ
National, so we have to look that up, this date:

``6:06 PM. Māpuna with Julian Wilcox --- Julian talks to Māori
throughout Aotearoa, from sports legends, to business leaders, to
artists and community advocates. (rpt)`` and next show not until:
``6:50 PM``. And, ``The Sunday Night Retro Show`` not until 0806 UT.

BTW, `Mediawatch` starting at 1015 UT, later than previously listed in
our DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS guide. Yet the page of Mediawatch itself
claims it be Sundays 10:12 pm, as well as 9:05 am [= 2105 UT
Saturdays]. BTW2, in case you haven`t heard, funds have been allocated
for RNZP to get a new SW transmitter, which should allow it to run two
frequencies 24/7, one of them DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. LW/MW beacon check May 29 at 1449: 255 SW
Stillwater is JBA; 341 EI Enid can`t confirm vs elevated noise level;

** SPAIN. 17855, May 29 at 1438, REE on early weekends, but only S8/S9
to N America and just barely modulated. 15520 to ME also seems JBM at
S4/S5. 11940 for S America JBA carrier. K index = 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. Hepburn tropo map shows level-5 enhancement reaching SE OK,
not to here, but I bandscan anyway, finding numerous BAD signals on
open channels, May 29 after 1500 UT: 8, 12, 14, 20, 21, 28, 30, 34,
35, 36. And only one is decoding way above the other signals: RF 26
with PSIP ID as KTAL-DT. That`s Texarkana ARKLATEX, site in NW corner
of LA, 6-1 with NBC pre-Indy show. The rest: 6-2 Laff, 6-3 Cozi, 6-4
HSN, all of which match:

i.e 529 km = 329 statute miles to the SE, close to my OKC-aimed
antenna. TAL originally stood for one of the TALlest towers at that
time, but could also mean Texas/Arkansas/Louisiana, never mind Okla.

My local translator on 17 has also become BAD due to DX QRM, likely
the PBS in Shreveport, KLTS-TV ``24`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 95.1, May 29 circa 1840 UT, dead carrier again into
caradio for considerable distance in north side of Enid on way to
cemetery; unseems a mobile RF feeder, nor the two FM stations vying

their combat starts to appear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

music, live performance with applause, but no announcements. 2357
quick ID? sounds like ``You are listening to The Last Nowhere, TBA``;
more SSTV. 2358.5 starts raunchy storyteller with wild audience

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, May 28 at 1909, for the fourth day, NO signal
from secret R. Svoboda relay site into UTwente SDR. Last day heard was
May 24, but my log then must be corrected as the times were wrong, one
hour late: somehow I mistranscribed my original log scribble without
noticing! Is no one paying attention? Not me, until I see it copied in
new BC-DX as if it were correct, without challenge or correxion. BTW,
I can`t help but notice that many of my fellow DX editors are rather
lax about publishing correxions, no matter who may be at fault. Some
minor typos may not matter but this certainly does. I want to get it
right, later if not sooner. Is anything more important than accuracy?
Everyone should remember that this is/was at 19-20 UT, not 20-21. Make
it read as follows:

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, May 24 at 1856 tune-in via UTwente, OC already
on, 1857.6 JIP Russian, pause by 1900, IS and ID R. Svoboda. So the
secret unofficial relay, via Armenia? Is active today (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2140 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
May 28 at 1600 on WRN stream to N America, everywhere.

Not confirmed Sat May 28 at 1930 on WRMI 15770: EXACTLY the same thing
happens this week as last week: WOR starts but chopped after my first
eight words, replaced by the same `cello fill music. I ask Jeff about
it again and he now says it can`t play at this time for ``technical
reasons``, and may not ever be able to.

Confirmed Saturday May 28 at 1938.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO,
just finishing the NZ clip about halfway thru so again must have
started early circa 1925, steady S9+8 into nearby Warrenton MO SDR -
not to be confused with the one in Warrenton VA.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday May 28 monitoring from 1450
via remotes in Argentina and Brazil, no signal from LRA36, until
*1510.5 abrupt cut on end of music and formal sign-on with the canned
multi-lingual ID including English that this will be in Spanish. It`s
about S5 into Buenos Aires. Also as Radio Nacional Arcángel San
Gabriel; Nacional, La Radio Pública. Names of personnel starting with
the boss whose name sounds masculine. Otherwise mostly feminine
voices. 1516 historical talk starting with something in 1810y. 1517.5
song. 1519.4 says it`s the fourth program of the 2022 season. 1522
contact info on various social nets, etc. 1523 song. 1527 efemérides
for 25 de mayo, which is the original date of this repeat = this day
in history, several years from 1812 onwards almost to the present.
1530 ID. Checking SDR users I see some others in London, Chicago. 1537
brief QRM burst during conversation; 1539 song. 1543 contact info
again. 1544 mentions FM 96.7. Today`s temp: 8 centigrade, which seems
awfully hot. 1547 a feature from the cocina = kitchen, interview with
a male, chef? 1556 I check Brasília remote where it`s only S2. Campo
has better S3/S5. 1558 2-way QRM again at BsAs, so I switch to Campo.
A lot of the music is guitarish. 1608 suddenly stops and nothing
further in next few minutes.

Meanwhile, Manuel Méndez, Spain reported: ``Hi Glenn, Yesterday Friday
I contacted with the station via Whatsapp, here my message:
"Buenas tardes, el miércoles 25 no salieron al aire, por favor,
podrían decirme si saldrán mañana sábado?" Y aquí la respuesta:

"Hola buenas noches. Si salió el programa el miércoles y mañana
también sale a las 1200-1300 horas." [= 15-16 UT] According to them,
the program was on the air the past Wednesday. Best 73,s Manuel
Méndez, Lugo, Spain`` --- and then today:

``Logs in Friol, NW of Spain, Tecsun S-8800 and PL-880, cable antenna,
8 meters. ANTARCTICA, 15476usb, LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San
Gabriel, Base Esperanza, 1521-1527, 28-05, female, comments, songs.
Extremely weak and strong fading, audible at times``

Well, on Wed May 25 I had monitored Brazilian & Argentine remotes
between 1430 and 1546, and there was never any sign of it. Previously
they have come on late like 1510, clock wrong? Nor was there any
propagation disturbance, as WWV reported:

``The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 25 May was 1.
No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours.``

One must wonder what the four-woman crew are doing besides one hour a
week of radio? More broadly, what is the entire Base accomplishing, in
scientific research? Programming is not about that, rather historical
stuff, much of it about Argentina rather than Antarctica. Or are they
there merely as a nationalistic outpost to bolster an unacceptable
claim to part of the International Continent? Calling it ``Antártida
Argentina`` does not make it so. Note: from next week/month when it`s
June, there is supposed to be another repeat Saturdays at 18 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, May 28 at 1903, NO signal of R. Svoboda into
UTwente from secret site, Armenia? Richard Langley says it was also
absent May 25-26 into same remote, not to Zacharias Liangas, Greece on
May 27; so is it gone for good? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2140 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday May 28 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland SDR.

NOT confirmed UT Sat May 28 at 0359.8 on WBCQ R. Angela, 5130v:
instead replaying last week`s 2139! I email the boardops asking if
they could quickly replace it with 2140; or if preferred, run them

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat May 28 at 0051 tuning in last few minutes of
`AAAWWW` on WBCQ webcast, when they usually get down to business; must
be new and live since mentions Memorial Day weekend. Angela is not
adjacent to Allan but on a lo-fi phone connexion which makes it even
easier for Allan to talk over her.

3265+: In e-mail, someone reports hearing this on 3265, so I quickly
check that on Maryland remote: yes, this long-inactive transmitter is
back on at S7/S9 but vs high summer storm noise level: it is beyond me
why AW runs this only in the summers when it would be much more useful
in winter nights; as if 180 degrees out of synch with propagation
norms. SAM reading on remote is 154 Hz above 3265, confirmed accurate
on WWV 10000. As usual runs past 0100, JIP Hal Turner. Recheck
3265.154 at 0127: it`s off. Is ``3265`` now on the Program Guide?
http://wbcq.com/schedule/ Of course, not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
