** TURKEY. 7275.018, Apr 26 at 0340, VOT not off the air, but S9+10/30
into UTwente, this final repeat of English, which was missing at 2200
Apr 25 from 11785, and not on 9875 either, the 2030 English frequency
which sometimes stays on past 2200 as operator dozes. But for the rest
of this hour on 7275, nothing but music and promo fillers: 0340
``always-by-your-side``, 0344 TRTVOTVorld.com news, 0347
``with-you-every-hour``. 0353 s/off the 1230 on 17620, but now they
admit that some may be listening to a later repeat, but no details.
0354.7 IS starts, still going at 0358 with IDs in Malay! ``Suara
---``. 0400 timesignal and s/on Malay service, which is supposed to be
on 17720! unchecked, nor do I follow how long the wrong frequency
last.

I first checked at 0340 the other 0300 English frequency, 6165 which
is now for S/SE Asia: much weaker into UTwente, S8/9+5 with RTTYditty
on minus side about 6163, an INTRUDER, utility into broadcast band,
which also bothers 6160 SW Radio Gold, Germany on its other side.

Note: 7275 is also an INTRUDER, into the North American hamband! VOT
could have found a frequency above 7300 which would also be intruding
into a fixed band, but already inhabited by USA broadcast stations, so
must be OK. BTW one reference I cannot find in the final WRTH 2026
book is a table of frequency allocations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11660.003+, Sun Apr 26 at 1639, VOT S9+20/30 into UTwente
as `Letterbox` starts immediately following news. Cemre says it`s a
quiet afternoon, sun is out, and a fresh pot of chai is brewing
somewhere in the building. Last week on 23 April, National Sovereignty
and Children`s Day hosted hundreds of kids at TRT, with balloons,
etc., would make nice QSL design. 1) another child in Spain,
11-year-old and champion of some DX contest, Eric --- in Zaragoza, 2
emails from him, one on Italian, other on German. Wants new QSLs and
also old ones from archive to see designs; and stamps. Again VOT is
quite impressed with this youngster.

2) Mr Miyaki, Hiroshima, Japan, heard Chinese, and is now graduating.
Found 2013 picture of him in TRT archive. 3) Mr. --?, W Bengal, of a
DX club. 4) Mr David Ansell, Sussex, listens on an old FRG. 5)
Siddartha Papajarjee, W Bengal, is World Homeópathy Day celebrated in
Turkey, April 10? apparently not but about homeopathic medicine. 6) Mr
Nakamura, Kyoto, Japan, 55555 SINPO on 9660. 1657 that is all, 1658
``may your batteries never die`` and theme.

1659 immediately to English schedule presented exactly thus, by target
area with repetitions; time order would be more user-friendly:

** U S A. 7490 -111 Hz = 7488.989 into NH SDR, UT Sat Apr 25 at 0000,
WBCQ opening `AAAWWW` with `WTO`, and talkovers ``OK, Folx, before AI
takes over the world and our minds...``, and datestamp 13 Feb YOOLF
2026 right away, i.e. same as last heard March 7, after repeating
every week in Feb! Never mind. Quick check found *no* other WBCQ
frequencies on air now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5920, Apr 25 at 0653, S9+25 of dead air again for at least a
minute and probably much longer from WTWW TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 1557 UT April 25

** BRAZIL. 15145, Apr 23 at 2024, S7 music // 11780, so RNA is back
after missing a few days from this new frequency, as I mention on WOR
2344; but by 2145 it had shifted to 15150, per Ron Howard, and stayed
there until 0201*. They better not use it when WMLK is on our
mornings.

By 0750 Apr 24 I happen to awaken so check for token English, indeed
on 6180 and weaker 11780 but nothing on 15145 or 15150, about a
musician/composer born on April 23. At 1050 I am awake again, when
there is heavy QRM but seems still Brasuguese; 1050 was originally
reported as another English/Spanish repeat time (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, April 24 at 0558, RHC with S9 of dead air; also 9710,
S8/S9 of dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FRANCE. 6115-6120-6125, Apr 24 at 0604, DRM noise S9+27. Nothing in
HFCC, Aoki or EiBi, but as TDF 0530-0630 here:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 17790, April 24 at 0554, Japanese at S5/S7. It`s the new NHK
service for CIRAFs 10 & 11 = Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, 300
kW, 55 degrees from Yamata at 0500-0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, April 24 at 0600, ORTM not off the air, S9+10 of
chanting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Early UT Friday April 24 we were watching tornado reports
in adjacent counties to the north, Grant and Kay, but by 0100 UT
another tornado area was approaching Enid. The major OKC TV stations
were on it continuously. NOAA Weather Radio - NWR Enid station on ``ch
4``, WXL48, 162.475 MHz was already knocked off the air = no signal
into our C Crane Skywave SSB2, still off the next morning,
https://www.weather.gov/nwr/outages
but must have come back on circa 15 UT. While it was off there was
dead air on ``ch 5``, not sure where that is.

I was too busy getting WORLD OF RADIO finished and dispatched, and
keeping up with tornado warnings, to survey storm coverage on FM
stations relaying different OKC TV stations, as I did during a
previous outbreak not threatening us.

The tornado path was on the south/SE side of Enid, while we are in the
NW quadrant. We did descend to our storm cellar for a while just in
case. Thanks to everyone who inquired if we are OK. Some 40 homes in a
neighborhood just east of Vance AFB were demolished, as you may have
seen on national news coverage, but there were no fatalities. After a
respite Saturday, more of this is expected Sunday (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, Fri Apr 24 at 2021, REE in Arabic, to North America!
Also 15520 to ME where it might be more useful (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Also from Ron Howard: ``The situation in Mali and Bamako seems to be
very bad, per this travel advisory -
https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/mali
Last updated: April 20, 2026 10:23 ET:

Avoid all travel to Mali due to the threat of terrorism, kidnapping,
banditry and fuel shortages. If the security situation in Mali
deteriorates, the ability of the Embassy of Canada to Mali, in Bamako,
to provide consular services may be limited.

Security situation and fuel shortages: The security situation remains
unpredictable and could deteriorate further. Since September 2025,
terrorist groups have intensified their attacks, targeting fuel
tankers and setting up roadblocks on
major supply routes. This blockade has led to severe fuel shortages,
causing a reduction in essential services, long lines at gas stations
and transportation difficulties.

The entire country, including Bamako, remains vulnerable to terrorist
threats and the risk of kidnapping.

Shortages - Power outages occur regularly across the country and can
last more than 8 hours. Not all buildings have generators. Power
outages could impact essential services, such as: the public water
supply, telecommunications, banking transactions.

A state of emergency is currently in effect throughout Mali.
Heightened security measures are in place, including random
identity checks and roadblocks. Carry identification and follow the
instructions of local authorities at all times.``
