** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed May 31 circa 2010, no signal from
LRA36 into Argentine SDR. Manuel Méndez, Spain says it was on today,
only at *1936-1954*. Earlier mail from them said would be on Sat & Wed
at 15-18 local but that equals 18-21 UT; suspect time conversion
confusion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, May 31 at 0621, HK3QQ is back after missing May
27, and since? With usual slowly spaced keyboard strokes in order with
errors and omissions as previously explained, notably X instead of P;
and X again between Z and C. Also spells out QTH, BOGOTA COLOMBIA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. After a bunch of Florida FM DX, I resume in the car -- see
USA for details, and immediately hear Spanish:

92.1, May 30 at 2324 UT, strong signal with folk? music so not OK;
2331, Spanish ad in pesos, so not Unitedstatesian; 2332 Soriana ad, a
Mexican market nationwide chain, and others in frenetic string; 2345
possibly a different station since now there are ``Radio Disney`` IDs
between every commercial; must have heard at least 6 of them; includes
Walmart and Home Depot, in Spanish. Faded by 2353 when I hear an OKC
ad, i.e. K221FQ, 99 watts of KRMP 1140.

92.9, May 30 at 2326, ``La KeBuena``, ad for Los Tigres del Norte at
Arena Ciudad de México el 9 de junio; fadeout by 2330 and no DX on
higher frequencies now. There is another Que Buena on 92.9 in San
Antonio TX, but it`s too close and CDMX on 92.1;

(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 102.7, during FL FM DX opening, May 30 at 2117 UT, not
much signal from KJYO OKC; not obscured by DX, just very weak compared
to the other full-powers from OKC like 100.5, 101.9, 104.1. I do pull
a ``KJ103`` ID JBA at 2355 as I quit. Something must be very wrong.

Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. My first sporadic-E FM DX opening this year, May 30 I see an
MUF spike of 107 MHz between here and FL on DXMAP, so out to the car
in the now hot garage, mid-80s at last outside, to DX on the stock
Nissan Sentra 2004 caradio with fender vertical antenna only; all logs
in real time with my own ears, no RDS capability, no internet for
stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled notes, mainly
the WTFDA FM Database, also in general searching if needed. All times
strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP and
antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz and
vert figures, u.o.s. Lasst figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from disitancefromto.net. I
do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and am
not in a competition. Clarifications, correxions welcome.

100.3 at 2115, Spanish in & out; 2122, Spanish music over CCI; 2125 ad

MUF seems falling and I need some R&R while catching BBC TV news, so
suspend until 2324 when I find Mexico City is incoming, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. A much more intense Es FM DX opening over eastern America,
in progress when I tune in May 31 at 1521 UT until 1625. Mostly Ohio
stations, some New York, Ontario and a French Canadian probably also
Ontario rather than far Québec. Compiling and researching details for
full report may take a day or two (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13500, May 31 at 0602, finally copy definite Morse code ID
thrice amid CODAR: WRPW865 - note that the first four letters are the
same as for the 4-MHz one tracked in Feb to the MS/AL/FL Gulf coast.
And again at 0622 in its icosaminute cycle. Total CODAR audibility
range approx. 13445/13570. So exact center would be 13507.5.

For more info I first try www.radioreference.com but goes nowhere
beyond Sonoma Country on that call. On to FCC ULS which gets it; from
propagation clues I figured it would be on California coast.

The question is, whether at any given time are we hearing only one of
the six, and how to tell which; or are more, or all of them running at
same time in some kind of coördination? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034, May 29 at 1816, Trenton Military with ``no report
received`` of aviation weather from Trenton! itself, Ottawa, Toronto,
Bagotville; and for good measure tells us all that again. But then
does have terminal forecasts for the same.

1820 ID, with ``time: 14-20, zulu``!!! but which is really EDT. At
least they are not 4 or 64 minutes slow as was the case for a year or
more. Then back to NRRs for the next set of failures: Calgary, Cold
Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton.

Tnx Richard Langley who first reported their latest time confusion:
``A fairly good signal on 15034 kHz USB today (26 May) down here in
The Keys at about 21:30 UTC. As usual, many "no report received" for
both Canadian and overseas sites for current weather. But there were
complete forecasts given for several sites. Announced time, supposedly
in UTC (Zulu), would actually have been correct for EDT; i.e., 17:30
Zulu was announced at 17:30 EDT. -- Richard Langley``

I certainly hope Canadian Forces achieve a bit more accuracy in
matters of life & death (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13920, May 30 at 1515, carrier with flutter, presumably CNR1
jammer against SOH, supposedly in a break 15-22, but nothing now on
14920 or 15920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, May 30 at 0629, RHC English, S9/+10 with some squeal,
wrong frequency and only one still on. Maybe so often it will become
``right``? Lacking any A23 schedule of what RHC intends to do;
something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 15220, May 30 at 0628 music, about the SSOB, but off at
0630. It`s AWR French via Nauen at 0600-0630 for WAf; for NAf to
resume at 07-08 in Arabic, 0830-09 in TAH which means
``Tachelhit/Sous: Morocco, southern (4m), Algeria [shi]`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. Ben Dawson, WA, of Hatfield-Dawson reports May 30 about KSDA:
``Glenn, I am told that there was some damage to two of the AWR
curtains, but they anticipate having them repaired and back in service
this week. And the related 630 medium wave KICH (at the same site,
using one of my temporary antenna kluges) is on the air with no
problems except when they are working on the adjacent curtain as the
temporary antenna uses one of the curtain towers for support. ben``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 910 kHz, further checking for new format of KVIS, Miamuh
as in previous report: UT Tue May 30 I spend more than an hour of
continuous listening and hear no announcements whatsoever -- no DJ, no
ads, no slogans, not even legal IDs circa two hourtops. First on the
NRD 545 with Wellbook antenna E/W. Details:

0047 classic rock, S0/S1; 0049 pause and another tune. I don`t
recognize most of them but I would say this is AOR, i.e. playing track
after track with several seconds` pause between them. Almost all
instrumental. The ~1 Hz groundwave SAH is still there, increases at
0056 as one or both sigs fade up a bit. Music past 0101, no ID! 0103
SAH gets heavier such that the fading noise itself is increased QRM to
the modulation. 0106 YL vocal. 0112 SAH noise peaks, segué, now
S1.5/S2. 0120 f/out too weak even for ECSS to lock on; 0123 f/in,
still tunes, 0126. Approx. LSS at KVIS is 0130 UT now at Monatswechsel
between 0115 May and 0145 June. Sig now ranges S1.5/2 again.

Then I switch to caradio in garage with ND antenna in case it`s any
better. Skywave from Iowa etc. now in tophalf of band. WSUI, onetime
WORLD OF RADIO affiliate, might make it on 910. At 0149 some Irish?
music peaks, maybe not KVIS, then back to a vocal ballad. 0154 song
with lyrix mainly ``Give It Up, Africa`` - not sure of last word. More
segués, no ID past 0201 when local noise level obscures whatever as
some neighbor turned something on. The nearest streetlight emits an RF
noise burst as it switches on automatically, but it`s only brief and
should have been earlier. Enough! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. EDITORIAL: Lawmakers listened to constituents, voted to
override OETA veto --- Enid News & Eagle Editorial Board May 29,
2023

Oklahoma State Capitol (OSC)
A native Redbud tree in bloom for spring is shown on the state Capitol
grounds in Oklahoma City. The Associated Press

https://www.enidnews.com/opinion/editorial-lawmakers-listened-to-constituents-voted-to-override-oeta-veto/article_6d4b86bc-fbd2-11ed-8d0c-f77bd06b3149.html

It was a wild end to the regular legislative session with Oklahoma
lawmakers overriding 13 of Gov. Kevin Stitt’s vetoes, including one
dealing with OETA — the state’s public television station.

It wasn’t entirely unexpected by the governor’s office to have most of
these vetoes overridden — he had vetoed several bills as leverage for
his public education and tax credit plan — which he got.

However, the most significant disappointment to him might be the
overwhelming override of his veto against OETA. The governor had
vetoed a typical funding authorization bill, and later said he
believes OETA is indoctrinating children to the LGBTQ and transgender
lifestyle.

“Some of the stuff that they’re showing, it just overly sexualizes our
kids,” Stitt said in April. “There’s parents defending child
transition on PBS that’s being played.”

Thankfully, most constituents in Oklahoma and lawmakers saw through
this ridiculous ideological and hyperbolic accusation.

OETA is one of the nation’s most watched public broadcasting stations,
and despite Stitt’s concerns about some programs that support LGBTQ,
most parents realize there is more good informational and educational
programming on the station than what Stitt is concerned about.

Public television still has an important role in Oklahoma. While
several states are cutting or eliminating funds to public television,
OETA remains extremely popular among Oklahomans, and it serves all 77
counties.

We’re thankful lawmakers listened to their constituents and voted to

hour is `Marion`s Attic`, but it`s `Greek Music Refuge` instead, nice
mx with occasional words from Zach, closing at 0259 by UB not giving
the title. And 0300 `FTIOM`, an hour when there is a fifth Monday at
the curator`s choice. I check my calendar again: yes, this is Monday,
not Friday. Furthermore, a surprise replay of WOR 2192 at 0400 UT
Tuesday, perhaps makeup for incomplete airing on UT Saturday. HArdly:
already off at 0422 check: probably chopped circa 0412, the usual
finish on Monday nights. Must have been a playback of the UT Saturday
program file, which had problems originally. Seems WBCQ is unable to
adapt to short-term variations. Anyway, check
http://wbcq.com/radio-angela-schedule-may-2023.pdf
for what`s planned for the rest of May --- and that`s it! Just in from
Bill is some very sad news:

``Press Release: Radio Angela To Cease Broadcasts May 31

WBCQ's Radio Angela, which began broadcasting a little over a year
ago, was a bold experiment in quality programming. It carried world
music (including the last Greek music on shortwave after Greece itself
stopped broadcasting on the sw bands), great literature read aloud,
new music releases by independent artists, some of the best vintage
music on any radio band, science and comedy. It avoided the political
and religious programming about which so many shortwave listeners love
to complain but which are also the bread and butter that keep most
private shortwave stations alive. The production standards were
frequently nearly public radio quality even when not sourced from
public radio. We also brought several new voices from around the world
onto the shortwave bands who had never been there before.

It was known from day one that its long term success would depend upon
attracting an adequate amount of both listener contributions and
program buyers outside of regular core hours.

Critically and artistically, Radio Angela was a great success, and
many thanks to all who gave us public and/or private support of any
kind. Financially, however, this has not proven to be viable. The
airtime buyers didn't come, and neither did enough donors.
Consequently, Radio Angela's last transmission as Radio Angela will be
May 31 (June 1 0200-0412 UTC).

Some individual programs are likely to continue in some form on the
WBCQ grid; my own individual flagship programs (From the Isle of Music
and Uncle Bill's Melting Pot) will be going on hiatus for a least a
month, possibly longer, on both 5130 and 7490, and my other shows will
be discontinued altogether. This is a purely financial matter, and if
we could find a nice wealthy philanthropist who loves shortwave,
perhaps this wouldn't need to happen.

This is hardly the first quality venture on radio or tv to end this
way - Radio Angela had more weekly broadcasts than the original Outer
Limits television series to name but one example, and the roads of
radio generally are littered with the corpses of worthy broadcasting
concepts and stillborn projects. My thanks to Angela and Allan Weiner
for going out on a limb and backing the project, to all the content
providers for their hard work and excellence, to the technical staff,
some of whom are no longer with us, and to those of you who cared that
we were on the air.

Those who lament the religious and political programming that keep
private shortwave stations alive are welcome to consider us a case
study in what is likely to happen without those dollars. I obviously
lack the right answer, but I have learned a great deal about the right
questions. 73,

UNIDENTIFIED. 13550, May 30 at 0319-0323 and 0337-0344, amid CODAR
swirshes into Missouri SDR, NO Morse code IDs to be heard, contrary to
my expectation that they would fire every 20 minutes. At 0322 however
a quick data? burst which may have been an ID in some other form. At
0342 one long tone. Nothing after 0400, when CODAR itself has almost
faded out. Guess will require attentive monitoring over a whole hour,
or more.

13500, May 30 at 1518 I`m parked here closer to the center peak of
CODAR, 13445-13550 with 2X/sec pulses, only S6; and an ID does fire at
1522, thrice but again I can`t copy it beyond WR---- something. All
set for next one at 1542: no show. After that no CODAR anyway. Need to
get it recorded sometime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

For the next dekaminute until 1920, I only hear music with segués -

Anyway, unseems C&W. Also a SAH of almost 1 Hz or 56/minute. Other

MWOffsets has only a KVIS reading as of 2018-01-23 of plus .0009 kHz,
i.e. almost 1 Hz high; so the QRMer would be either close on .0000 or
plus .002 kHz. I`ve certainly heard KVIS easily before, but a check
last night did not acquire it vs the QRM. My best chances will be
skywave before SS or after SR which UT in May are: 0115/1115; June,
0145/1100. Distance: 273 km/170 stmi. Direxional pattern for KVIS U3

** U S A. 7490-, Sunday May 28 at 2200, NO signal direct, not even a
JBA carrier from WBCQ for `UBMP`. Is it even on the air? It is by 2248
when I check via Maryland SDR. Propagation has been pitiful tho SF and
K-index numbers seem moderate, but there have been and shall be
blackouts. Anyway, needs to be on higher band summer daypaths - but
not too high. Even the SuperStition on 9330 is VP altho probably not
aiming thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13550, May 29 at 0542, I happen to be here during a
routine bandscan where there is CODAR swirshing at the rate of 2X per
second, when suddenly I hear Morse code --- not pure CW tonality but
diffuse, starts with WR----, so another CODAR ID. Wish I could copy,
but too fast by surprise and only twice?

I suspect same pattern like before as explored in great detail last
February, per: https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2023_0209_0216.txt
with linx for searching, a full call was traced to the MS/AL/FL Gulf
coast:
``CODAR CW ID copied on 4752+ kHz exactly every icosaminute, twice at
:03, :23, :43 past the hours, WRPW597``

So I`m back on 13550 by 0602, and barely perceive a trace of another
ID burst but uncopiable. No doubt we can eventually get it by
monitoring at :02, :22 and :42 past the hours. It may be audible over
a broader range than 13550 only; CODAR expanse at 0542 was approx.
13435-13565. Another check at 1522, weak CODAR and no ID heard altho
maybe tuned in a few seconds too late. Also a JBA carrier on 13550,
one of countless ChiCom jammer frequencies against Sound of Hope.
Probably there are more CODAR IDs out there on other ranges going
unnoticed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

late-starting weekly Esperanto, and extra 15230 has been turned off
already; perpetual totally wrong schedule announced as 0800 on 6100
tho all frequenncies off before real summer time of 0700 UT; 1600
instead of correct 1500, as if on 11760 only; and 2?30 on 15730, an
RHC frequency abandoned years ago as the third airing of Esperanto
could show up on any half-hour around there on any frequency.
Esperantists are clueless about their own real schedule. The guy also
continues to mispronounce ``politiko`` stressing the first i as if
were still Spanish, instead of second i as absolutely required
penultimately Esperantoly. Something`s always wronge at RHC (Glenn

** SINGAPORE. 12025, May 28 at 1510, BBCWS in English, S7/S9, best for
us now tho aimed for Asia, site as listed. Rumors have been flying
that BBC are about to close down this relay, starting with WRTH on
disgraced FB. WOR iog discussion that it`s already operating way below
capacity, sometimes on wrong frequency.

Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas, reports: ``I found the Facebook thread
with the Singapore relay closure discussion. It appears someone at the
Oman relay station is saying that Kranji will be closed in July. No
further details at this writing. The 13 degree East Asia beam from
Kranji has always done well in the central part of North America, so
any replacement site will likely not be favorable for us, not that we

** GUAM. Re KTWR missing all frequencies since Mawar, John the VORW
reports to WOR iog: ``I found this on the TWR Facebook Page - in
regards to the status of KTWR, it reads as follows:

"Typhoon Mawar has left the Pacific island of Guam, and as we’ve
shared previously, TWR staff and their families stayed safe.

However, damage to the facilities of KTWR, our shortwave station on
the island, was worse than originally believed, and members of our TWR
family on Guam are in the midst of a difficult situation. Challenging
days lie ahead, and your prayer support is greatly needed.

Grant Hodgins, station director at KTWR, and two key members of the
team were able to reach the station on Thursday morning. Although it
was still too windy for a close inspection, it was apparent that all
five of our antennas sustained damage, Hodgens reported.

KTWR uses shortwave signals to reach a large swath of Asia with the
gospel message, and because of the nature of shortwave, the programs
are aired at night. But for the third night in a row, KTWR was unable
to broadcast on Thursday night.

The team planned to regather at 9 a.m. Friday – 7 p.m. Thursday in the
Eastern U.S. – to determine next steps. A key issue will be Antenna 1,
which is a total loss, Hodgins said.

The families of TWR personnel are all accounted for and are doing
okay. Still, most have no power or water. Staff on Thursday were
focused primarily on caring for their families.

To be sure, the impact could have been much worse. As the typhoon
approached Guam, the southern section that includes KTWR was in line
for a direct hit. We asked for prayer, you responded, and we watched
in wonder as our Father pushed the storm northward at the last minute.
We sustained a glancing blow instead of a direct hit.

But a glancing blow from a Category 4 storm is a serious matter.
Please continue to be in prayer for our TWR family on Guam and the
173,000 residents of the island, all of whom have been affected.
Please also pray that we’ll soon be able to resume programming to the
listeners across Asia for whom TWR is a spiritual lifeline."

Included in the post is a photograph of a damaged antenna.

** NORTH AMERICA. 7400, May 27 circa 0630, still no signal from pirate
R. Vostochnaya Zvezda. Lucas Bandura updates the WOR iog about this
May 27:

``Re: [WOR] Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda 7400 AM off air --- The operator

He was originally going to use 4 MHz, which I said would be pointless
due to the poor range (he was barely heard when he was using 4015
USB). He also considered 13.95 MHz for broadcasting to Japan, but he
doesn’t have a transmitter for that frequency right now. He changed
his station name to Kawaii FM (FMのかわいい) and the new format will be
Japanese music.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2192 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday May 27 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10 direct but with heavy
storm noise level [HSNL]. And still not on 7730. I also check some
remotes: New Hampshire has continuous ute roar atop 5850 and not on
5845 or 5855! None such audible direct or into Missouri SDR.

I was about to remark that the R. Angela WBCQ airing UT Sats at 0400
was always right on time --- but not tonight. On 5130 -23 Hz -
5129.977 into Maryland SDR, `FTIOM` is running late until WOR can
start at 0406 May 27. Glad we still made it on, but not glad
transmitter cut off at 0432*, 3 minutes before I could finish. What
was the problem. UB Tilford replies: ``Had to reload broadcast file
into the system due to an upload glitch, whole broadcast started late.
System unfortunately went off at normal cutoff time. Sorry about
that.``

Also confirmed Saturday May 27 after 1600 on WRN streams. No connexion
at first so I thought may have changed, but still:
