** ROMANIA. 11820, Apr 27 at 0225, VG SSOB by far, S9+25/30, wild
piano performance of `Danse Macabre`; 0230 RRI ID, Romanian, = no, now
it`s Spanish with a Romanian language lesson. This hour only is RRI
Spanish, 300 kW at 310 degrees from Galbeni (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.006+, Apr 26 at 2207 first check, VOT JBA but on the
air. At 2212 into UTwente, when measured, S9+25/35. By 2257 still on
air with German IDs interspersed with IS. 2300 timesignal and s/on
extraneous German, but chop at 2301* Something`s always erroneous at

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2292 monitoring: ``Thank you for
World of Radio -- Hansjörg Biener. 250426 3975 1750 D SWR, E (//6160),
Glenn Hauser’s World of Radio 35433 HjBi``
Also confirmed Saturday April 26 at 1730 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000, and 3975.001-, both S9+10 into UTwente.
Not confirmed Sat Apr 26 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, since nearby remote
is offline; checked closest alternatives in IL, IA, and MO between
1900 and 2030 for the 1930v, just high noise, altho with max blanking
Carterville IL gets something like talking.
Confirmed Saturday April 26 at 1930 on WRN North America webcast.
Confirmed NEW time, Saturday April 26 at 2237 the 2230 on WRMI 15770,
S3/S5 direct, but listed // 7730 is JBA carrier only. At 2246 into
Maryland SDR, 7730 is NOT WOR, but Supreme Master TV. Skedgrid again
is self-contradictory: transmitter grid atop shows WRMI-2 on 7730 with
SMTV this hour, and WRMI-9 on 15770 with TOMBS! Only the pink System H
program grid below shows WOR Sat at 2230 on both those frequencies.
Also confirmed UT Sunday April 27 at 0424 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, about 13
minutes into so started circa 0411 almost an hour later than nominal
0315v, S8/S9 into N9AZZ remote in Carterville IL as nearby Warrenton
MO is still absent, and Godfrey IL is NG, nothing but noise. Earlier,
Houston AMSAT net nom. 0200 did not start until 0302, following `QSO

** U S A. WTWW situation from George McClintock circa 22 UT Apr 26:
9930 back on air after some corona goop arrived to apply to insulators
which were arcing. Had been absent for two or three days. I check here
at 2206, and find 9930 with TOMBS is S9+40/45, but without the
splatter we had been getting: maybe that was caused by the arcing. The
plus/minus 12.9 kHz spurs are still there but JBA carriers only. He
also says the Harris SW100 transmitter has been sold to someone who
wants to go on SW, somewhere unspecified, but does not have a CP yet.
The live-in operator at the site has now moved in along with his wife.
The gate to the property is soon to be upgraded to automatic. Someone
else is still consulting on getting the other transmitter back on the
air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1480, April 27 at 0320 UT, Vietnamese, and also 1560 in
Vietnamese, but definitely not //, one OM,
other YL, or music. 1480 is KNGO Dallas, U4 50/1.9 kW; 1560 is KGOW
Bellaire TX, U4 46/15 kW, both the only two members of the Group,
besides a translator, `Viet Radio` as defined by NRC AM Log. Website
certainly implies they are //, Houston being primary:

** VANUATU. 9960, Apr 27 at 0545, RV again missing from 9960, nor
7260, 5040, 7890. Ron Howard replies to my previous report: ``Hi
Glenn, April 26 also noticed the absence of Radio Vanuatu. April 27,
via various remotes, when checking at 0415 UT, on 2485, 3945, 5040,
7260 or 9960, found no Vanuatu signal. Have contacted the station!

UNIDENTIFIED. 1130, Apr 27 at 0340 UT, tone of about 700 Hz mixing
with KLEY/KWKH, rock/stupid sports talk, so a third station? then 0342
drops to 670 Hz or so and disappears. I was hoping for a satellite
feed filler ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11935.0, Apr 27 at 1455, JBA carrier direct. Could Yemen
via Saudi be back? Not checked UTwente until 1538, nothing. Nor
anything at this hour in Aoki or EiBi, but HFCC as of Apr 25 has an
entry, quite possibly wooden:

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING
DOONESBURY is back in the Enid News & Eagle Sun Apr 27: apparently
CNHI censorship of this is not permanent. This one can hardly be
construed as critical of His Magasty; about UFOs. The first two panels
are skipped; I`ve noticed this happening with some other strips which
seem to be configured so that the first two panels are optional. The
current one appears here only for a while:
