** 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)

** 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:

** 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)

** 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

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

** 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:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue June 2 at

** 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)
