** CANADA. 2598 USB, May 4 at 0435 UT unreadable marine weather but
French intonation; sounds the same on 2749 USB, but unknown if //. Per
dxinfocentre.com/mb these are the final broadcasts of the night before
a 3-hour break: 2598 from 0437 is VQB-22, Natashquan (Escoumins), 600
watts; and 2749 USB from 0437 is VCN Escoumins, also 600 watts. I
guess that mean 2598 is relaying, or fed from, the 2749 station. In
summer storm noise level such as around St Louis area, I was not
really expecting to hear anything on these. Both are on the north
shore of the maritime estuary of the St. Lawrence River in Québec
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, May 3 at 2258, dead air from RHC, S9+10/20 into
Georgia SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 9490, UT Mon May 4 at 0238, R. República via FRANCE,
with religious rather than political stuff! 0239 ID, S9+20/30 direct,
still not jammed, almost as strong as SSOB 9455 WRMI; 0240 ``10
Minutos con Jesús`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 9754.955 approx., May 4 at 0241, MWV Spanish, ``un
momento de reflección``, S7/S9 considerably off-frequency. At 0356 near
ending, into Maryland SDR S6/S9, measured 9754.963 as accurately
calibrated with WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 17530, May 4 at 0428, English clip into
Chinese, S9+10/20 direct, from WCB; the second SSOB, topped only by
17675 RNZP at S9+10/30 which is often much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** MEXICO. 1060 kHz, May 4 at 0502, war-mongering NA playing here on
XERDO Matamoros and also on 1570 XERF, right after `La Hora Nacional`,
but could not hear a note of it anywhere else on full bandscan, altho
some other XEs such as 1050 XEG were not playing it. Probably better
luck at local midnight HCM = 06 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 730 kHz, May 4 at 0505, XEHB full ID claiming 50 mil watts,
en ``la cadena Más Picuda`` - so it`s a network? Not unusual for a
Mexation to claim day power even if much less at night, but I bet it`s
really on day power to own 730 like it has been. I search the entire
huge IRCA Mexican Log on Picuda and get only a few other hits: 1170
XERT Reynosa; 840 XETEY Tepic, Nayarit + 93.7 plus XEHB`s own FM
104.7, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihua2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 11820, UT Monday May 4 at 0229 direct, RRI Spanish S9/+10
SSOB, giving schedule of RCM = WEWN on 12050 as 00-06 & 14-24, and
``hasta el próximo mes``, so apparently a monthly DX segment, within
mailbag show, 0232 acknowledging something from Barranquilla,
Colombia. 0235 RRI ID, and ``Club de Oyentes`` de RRI, with Victoria
Sepciu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.9, UT Monday May 4 at 0246, WBCQ S9/+25 direct, someone
interviewing Al Weiner, program title ``Shortwave Listening --``
something. 0249 it`s ``The Tech Prepper``, P O Box 7606, Cave Creek AZ
85327 [sounded like he said Hayes Creek till I uplooked ZIP code].
Then a website thetechprepper.geocities.org ! GC has been gone since
2009y! Is this a very old recording? Allan did sound a bit younger.
0251 host tells story of being stranded in southern California, how he
got into ham radio in 2020y with COVID; and has been on YouTube since
May 5, 2020, anniversary imminent. Seemed about to wrap up by 0300. I
have a look at current website that I find:
https://www.thetechprepper.com/about
which is obviously a business, but no info on guy`s name or Cave
Creek.
The thing is, nothing about this on the WBCQ program schedule, which
is never up-to-date. Shown during these hours on UT Monday with times
mislabeled EST instead of EDT:
7490 Mo 0100 0230 UTC Su 09:00PM 10:30PM EST Plain Old Doug Show
7490 Mo 0130 0230 UTC Su 09:30PM 10:30PM EST The Warning with Tony
Lamb
7490 Mo 0230 0400 UTC Su 10:30PM 12:00AM EST The Overcomer
Ministry
And no `Tech Prepper` anywhere else on WBCQ skeds. Note above how the
first two entries before 0230 are mutually exclusive! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4840, May 4 at 0637, this WWCR is S9+35/50 of dead air
except for hi-pitched squeal. The squeal seems to infest most or all
WWCR frequencies, e.g. 5935 S9+55/60 with PMS at 0638; 13845 S9+5 SSOB
at 1448; 7490 S9+20 at 1454 May 4. Guess they need better audio
filtering (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 990, May 4 at 0454 UT, adstring, ``The Mighty 9-90, K-wam``,
anti-woke program promo, i.e. KWAM Memphis TN. Was looking for the
sports/betting station believed to be WNML Knoxville, which KWAM,
halfway between east/west would block. But see unID 990 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1700 kHz, May 4 at 0446 UT, ``Jalapeño Radio 95.7 FM`` ID
in English, Mexmx; 0459 full ID as KKLF, 1700 and K239DA, Jalapeño
Radio Network, Richardson-Dallas TX. That`s a mere 60-watt translator
wagging this dog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, May 4 at 0633, no signal from RV, not even a JBA
carrier. Had been missing a few days. I can normally detect it this
late whenever on. Nor on 9960. But Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain was
hearing 7260 at 0447-0503 after notifying them of outage; if direct,
that`s a notable long-path catch for him. Also Ron Howard had 7260 to
NZ remote at 0450-0506, but by 0615 were on new 5040. Not in WRTH
2026, but 5040 has been used before and current EiBi shows it at
1830-2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Re 990 kHz, May 3 at 0642, sports format, WNML TN? Tim
Hall replies:
``One possibility is KRMO. Out-of-date program schedule on their web
site still shows the defunct Sportsmap radio network:
http://www.radiotalon.com/krmo-programs
image.png
Wikipedia entry for Sportsmap radio network says their affiliates
transferred to VSiN after the demise of Sportsmap:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SportsMap
On February 22, 2024, as part of cuts being made at Gow Media, the
company announced the network would shut down and have its programming
and remaining affiliates being managed by the Vegas Stats &
Information Network full-time.[6]
HTH, Tim`` Hall.
KRMO is U1 2500/47 Cassville MO, address in Monett, format was
C&W/Farm. Close but lowpower if really 47 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17925 USB, May 4 at 0425, after finding no activity on
28, 24, 21 or 18 MHz hambands, as I am tuning further down hit one
side of 2-way in AMS = aeronautical mobile service, per Klingenfuß
2022 covering all these: Guam, Alaska, Thailand, Hawaii, New York, San
Francisco; sounds Japanesish. Page 1057 of UDXF Frequency list adds:
Bolivia, Djibouti, Cocos Island, Mexico, Trinidad, Saudi Arabia,
Tunisia. That narrows it down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
