** OKLAHOMA [and non]. After no FMDX around 1800 UT June 5 despite
DXMAPS connecting OK to Alberta, I settle on 91.7 awaiting with bated
breath what will KOSU run at 1807 to replace WNYC-canceled `The
Takeaway`? `Fresh Air!` moved from 17 UT and on the sked `Here & Now`
at 16 has been expanded from one hour to two. Easy way out? I wish
they would revive `Talk of the Nation`, at least for `Science
Friday`!

As for `Takeaway`, after a sesquidecade, I missed the finale on Friday
June 2. I think I set an alarm for that but then couldn`t remember
why... Here it is linked; I just listened to it now:

https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/takeaway/segments/one-final-farewell
Somehow, a 52-minute show lasts 70+ minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 102.7, June 4 at 2038 UT, `KJ-103` with good signal on
caradio at cemetery north of Enid instead of lately JBA if at all at
home before and afterwards. Something must be drawing KJYO there? Or
sporadically on full power? Or home is a dead zone, pardon the
expression, for it, but not the other OKC stations? (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday June 5 at 2205, token English from SNR feature
today is interview with someone from Greenpeace about global warming /
climate change, as affecting Spain, VG direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sunday June 4 at 2226 check, VOT S9/+20 into
UTwente, instead of German yesterday, back into ``English`` if you can
call it that as uttered by the superaccented YL. 6165 at 0300 UT
Monday June 5, also recognizable English with heavy ACI from 6160-
WBCQ WOR. But 6165 is aimed thataway, //7275 intruding thisaway (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Monday June 5 at 2210 check, no signal direct from
VOT; something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2193 monitoring: not confirmed
Sunday June 4 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, rather last
week`s 2192 *again* like on Friday after which I immediately emailed
IRRS about the mistake and asking to be sure to play 2193 next times!
S9+12 anyway with some storm crashes into nearby Noale SDR.

Thus a reminder to those who don`t want to miss a WOR: pay attention
to the number and produxion date, and find the latest somewhere else.

2193 confirmed UT Monday June 5 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA S4/S6 direct
with HSNL.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 5 from 0300 sharp on WBCQ Area 51, 6160
-67 Hz = 6159.933, S9/+10 into NH SDR with ACI from much weaker 6165
Turkey to ME. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial
support is appreciated; thanks this week to Terry Colgan TX, for a
contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com - in US funds but not
necessarily

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490-), Sunday June 4 at 2221, WBCQ stream with ``Beep
beep`` song, soon 2229 Uncle Bill with more tunes on a caracing
Memorial Day Weekend theme. UB thinx his shows are on hiatus for at
least a month, but there he is at usual time. Maybe repeat of last
week`s `Melting Pot` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, UT Monday June 5 at 0628, WRMI S8/S9 ending R. Prague
International in English, 0630 starting R. Eslovaquia Internacional in
Espanish. In between at 0629 a new promo asking listeners to email
their location, to a gmail address pronounced twice but not
comprehended, not the usual info@wrmi.net - here it is, on disgraced
FB June 4, ALL CAPS:

``ATTENTION WRMI LISTENERS. WE’RE DOING A TEST FOR POTENTIAL SPONSORS
TO SHOW THEM JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE LISTEN TO SHORTWAVE RADIO. IF YOU
HEAR US, PLEASE SEND US AN EMAIL AND TELL US WHERE YOU ARE LISTENING
TO WRMI FROM. OUR EMAIL IS: WELOVESHORTWAVE@GMAIL.COM PLEASE EMAIL
YOUR LOCATION TO US AT WELOVESHORTWAVE@GMAIL.COM THANK YOU!``

Skedgrid for WRMI-9 15770 shows System H at 06-07. System H grid shows
RPI only on Mon & Tue, RSI daily; also daily at 05-06 still R. Ukraine
International? I don`t think so: fq grid shows SMTV // 9455.

Also on disgraced FB 5 days ago:
``Coming up on our new program Voices of Russia (in Russian):

June 3/4 - History of the Kaliningrad Radio Center No. 5 (on-air tests
2022 - 2023), the history of the radio receiver Speedol

June 10/11 - 1. History of Polish longwave broadcasting on 225 kHz
2. Czech private AM stations (792, 981, 1062 kHz)
3. Radio equipment of the USSR. Selga radio receiver.
4. In memory of radio host Andrey Barshev. He worked at Radio Mayak
and loved France very much...

Voices of Russia can be heard at 2130 UTC Saturday and at 0400 UTC
Sunday on 15770 kHz.``

I wonder who`s behind that? Nothing about it on the Programming page.
But well worth checking for others as yet unknown even in Angliyskiy:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Repeatedly on June 4, DXMAPs show sporadic E MUFs way up
past 108, even past 140 MHz, but e.g. at 2240 UT no sign of any FMDX
here, and none on the FMDX page either of DXMAPs - spurious or
erroneous reports? Or extremely limited timewise or geowise? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, June 5 at 0623, ``island music`` at S7/S9+10 direct
as R. Vanuatu continues its improved signal on a fundamental. Someone
guessed it must be more than listed 2.5 kW now. Axually, WRTH 2023
shows only 2 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2358 UT June 5
