** SPAIN. 17855, May 24 at 2200, no signal from REE to North America; off? Nothing else on band either, but no one else is even trying. Token English is sufficiently audible on ME channel 15520 off the back, S7-S3, better than 11940 for S America at S6 fading to S3. Alison Hughes hosts today: first about how ex-Spanish colony Western Sahara figures historically into the migrant problem at Ceuta & Melilla on the other side of Morocco; 2216 next topic Eurovision Song Contest of no interest to me (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, May 24 at 2159, VOT IS in clear with no RTTY, S9/S6, but soon peaking S9+5/15 with news in English led by latest Turk COVID stats. 7275, May 25 at 0300, no signal direct from VOT English to us; while // 6165 for ME if on is totally blocked by RHC as long as it stay here instead of 6145. BUT: 7275, May 25 at 0305 via UTwente, VOT is certainly on and S9/+15; // 6165 also audible somewhat stronger than mixer RHC adding up to S7-S8; both 6165s of course far outside target areas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 660, May 24 at 0601 UT, song in unknown language at ToH, no news, suspect KTNN: Loops E/W with Dallas - Belch Springs` 700 watts nulled, sounds like more than that; yes: into Dineh YL talk mixing in some English words including ``truck driver``, and ``The Voice of the Navaho Nation``, 0604 UT into chanting and drumming. Always a treat to hear this first-nations station which altho 50/50 kW is supposed to protect NYC at night, likely ND now or at least out of whack. Too much signal to be leaking around the cardioid edges? NRC Pattern Book shows not a cardioid but circle tangent west. But FCC AM Query: https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/7ec7d326bd5e49bba284c1b6063ebeb7-2089.pdf does show a cardioid with deepest nulls at 60 and 110 degrees, but also an itty-bitty lobe in the middle of the `null` at 85 degrees (5 degree increments only calculated). The question is whether there be any signal circa Hays KS on the direct path to WFAN; or 110 degrees for Dallas? Another version of night pattern: https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KTNN&service=AM&h=N Daytime pattern is ND, so not so unusual to hear it after official SR/before official SS, which are in May: 1215/0215 UT; June: 1200/0230 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 690, May 24 at 0557 UT, S9/+10 of dead air from KGGF Coffeyville KS, for at least two minutes; 0559 detailed local weather but probably recorded hours ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1030, May 24 at 0556 UT, `Red Eye Radio` mentioned on a frequency where I haven`t noticed it before, but NRC AM Log shows the only 1030 RER affiliate is KFAY, Farmington AR, so likely as one of my closests. A strange one: altho CoL is Farmington, why? FAY obviously stands for nearby Fayetteville, where its address is (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0502 UT May 25 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, May 24 at 0151, dramatic narration with sombre music, S9+10 heavy storm noise level obscures where the SSB peaks are, maybe S9; hard to follow, but mentions New World Order and that space travel is a ``big charade``, so safe to conclude he`s a wacko. ``Remember when ---`` over and over; 0157 just music; 0157.5 SSTV beepery, 0201 more music. These start as unID, eventually ID as Wasteland Radio per SSTV image among several fuzzies: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,82008.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 7, May 23 at 2119 UT, my TV set with rabbit ears only which due to its elevation gets some OKC signals better than the roof hi VHF/UHF yagi, lands on virtual 5-3 as I bandscan. I`ve long wondered why KOCO bothered with only one subchannel, METV on 5-2. Now there`s a 5-3, occupied by Shop LC. More totally worthless waste of digital spectrum. Must be recent addition, but rabbitears.info already has it. LC now stands for Low-Cost; ex-Liquidation Channel. Looks like they specialize in jewelry. I also scan thru a couple of the other multichannels: KOPX ``62`` on RF 18 has six channels as shown in rabbitears so I won`t go thru them. Pax/Ion used to have a second entertainment/rerun channel but that is long gone. ``43``, KAUT is convoluted since its real transmitter is one of the still few converted to ATSC-3 and therefore invisible on ordinary tuners. Besides duplicating KAUT itself, Rabbitears shows that RF 19 KAUT really contains ATSC-3 versions of KFOR as well as extreme competitor KOCO; and KOCB `34`` CW, and a subchannel of the station it is owned by, KOKH, Cha/Rge! Main-channel 43-1 KAUT independent programming ``Freedom 43`` is axually on RF 27 as part of the package on its overlord, KFOR. 43-2 Court TV is axually on another station, RF 24 KOKH ``25``. So is 43-3 Escape (Mystery). K17JN-D, Enid, May 23 at 2130 UT, is *still* black and silent on all five 3ABN channels, on the air with strong signal metering but conveying nothing, as it has been since at least May 12. Probably has no local engineer-in-charge, and nearly no local would-be viewers to complain, nor know where to do so (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A. 18160-USB, May 23 at 2142, ``17 meter DX net``, but I hear only a presumed US ham asking for non-US contacts; he makes a couple but I never hear them, nor is he in any hurry to utter his own call. BTW, 18.16 MHz = 16.52 metres using the 300/ conversion factor. You don`t get to the real start of the *17* mb, until below 17647 kHz. Meanwhile we have the nonsensical situation of the ``17`` m hamband being by frequency, above instead of below the *16* m broadcast band. But in numbering their bands, hams have ignored such details; ``15`` metres has to be below 20000 kHz, let alone below 21000. 21450 is almost at the start of the *14* m band below there. At least ``12m`` is correct just below 25 MHz where AAMOF I haven`t heard any activity in ages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28268.5-CW, May 23 at 2145, only one 10m beacon is JBA, WB0BIN, alternating fast and slow WPM markers. Sounds familiar: yes, I logged this a few times last July and once in August: 28.2865 WBØBIN C SABIN, MINNESOTA # 7W, GP VERTICAL New 22 April 18. Reports for QSL were invited on website, but I never got a reply. When that happens I am likely to conclude it`s another ham who discriminates against ``inward-only monitors``, even tho beacons are outward-only, impossible for two-way contacts. Sabin is in WC MN, just SE of Moorhead/Fargo ND, 1159 km = 720 miles. Nor have I received even an e-reply from WA6APQ beacon. Why bother; why bother. Just before that I had only one phone signal on 18 MHz, but some pileups on 27-MHz CB channels like 27025. No phone signals higher in the 10m band, either. DXMAP keeps showing sporadic E MUFs just below 88 MHz FM band in spots, mostly much lower (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2087 monitoring: not confirmed Sunday May 23 at 2200 on Area 51 via WBCQ! 6159.899 is on the air, S7 into Virginia SDR, but NO modulation, soon up to S9+5/10 but dead air until at least 2225. Recheck at 2228, now I hear the tail end with propagation outlook, just in time for HRI to air next. Meanwhile, WOR 2087 was running OK on the A51 webcast as well as the other WBCQ from 7488.839 with UBMP to which I mainly listened online tho also audible poorly on SW. WOR 2087 confirmed Sun May 23 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/30 into VA. Also confirmed UT Mon May 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct. Also confirmed UT Mon May 24 at 0130 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed UT Mon May 24 at 0230 on WRMIs direct: 7780 S9/+10 and 5800 S9+20 but both with severe storm noise level -- none really close but a large line from the Dakotas to western Kansas. Next: 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to William Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, for a check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, ``in observance of my second Moderna COVID-19 shot on Mon 3 May 2021`` --- that`s a good idea!

** AUSTRIA. 11930, May 23 at 0601, VP signal talking: surprised anything here except Cuban jamming anytime and RM in daytime. HFCC shows this semihour only is BBC French via Moosbrunn, 300 kW at 235 degrees toward W Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, May 23 at 0606, RHC is S9 but undermodulated; 6165 is S9/+10 of dead air; 5040 S9+20 of dead air; 6000 is off. Only 6100 is VG S9+20 with normal modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, May 23 at 1501, this RHC has humbuzz, ID giving it and only 15140, FM from this hour; 1503 late start Esperanto on both. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EUROPE. 4909.986v, May 23 at 1845, Free Radio Service Holland in publicized Whitsunday broadcast to last until 2005*, on four frequencies at once. All are well audible via UTwente but 4910 is best at S9+20; 7700.058v tuned first at 1841, S8; 5790.038v S7-S8; 3919.923v only S9. Latest publicity via Manuel Mendez said, ``Dear FRS Friend, Next Sunday FRSH will be airing a 70s evening full of nostalgia. The broadcast will be aired on no less than 4 frequencies being: 3920, 4905, 5790 (or a nearby channel) & 7700 kHz`` Acknowledging presumably real-time listener mail, Zacharias Liangas, Thessaloniki at 1852. Earlier at 1845 said printed QSL required P-mail reports only with E/$ 3 rp; 1847 ``more music``. Lots of produxion liners, jingles. 1900 TCs and ID, then ``Made in Holland`` focusing on 1970s music --- rock! What else? There is no other kind of music, is there? I guess this nostalgic stuff be significant to elder Europeans, but if it were American would not be significant to this elder American lover of classical music. Altho quite strong signals, not in skip zones, each exhibits some fading into UTwente, which might not happen if any be at ``local`` range in Holland. I keep filing FRSH under Europe since it`s a pirate, not necessarily transmitting from inside Holland, despite the name. Why don`t they get legal? Private SW stations are being licensed. WRTH 2021 page 486 International sexion shows three ex-pirate SW stations under Netherlands (plus Mighty KBC which openly transmits via Germany). At 1913 the DJ lists the four frequencies including ``4900`` -- what does he know? Then acknowledging reception reports from March 14. By 1917 I`ve had enough of this hyper-frenetic hype, and bail out, back to WYSU webcast for `With Heart & Voice`, sacred choral and organ music I enjoy every Sunday afternoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2087 monitoring; next: 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2300 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to William Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, for a check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, ``in observance of my second Moderna COVID-19 shot on Mon 3 May 2021`` --- that`s a good idea!
