** GERMANY. 13725-13730-13735 DRM, Thu Apr 24 at 1850, DRM noise
direct. Checking remotes in Qatar, Kuwait only get sporadic music, but
displayed as Music for Joy, which EiBi shows: ``13730 1800-1900 Tu,Th
D Music 4 Joy DIGITAL EAf n``, i.e. only two hours per week and this
is one of them, via Nauen site; and off at 1900*. KiwiSDR embedded DRM
sked shows on 13730 only CNR1 Global Tests, not at this hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. ``Hi Glenn, Regarding the QTH of JG1IGX (your log 'JAPAN.
28430 USB, Apr 23 at 2207'), I heard him before on FT8 giving the
'PM96' locator as QTH. FT8 only gives 4 chars/digits of precision.
Since such a grid is relatively wide, I usually consider the
approximate center (which is the closest spot from all possible
locations within - theoretically, in terms of probability).

But I should have consulted the web first: his location is precisely
given on qrzcq.com, as PM96ob, which is some 66 km NW of Tokyo, or 10
megameters from Enid OK, in the Saitama Prefecture, see attachment.

** U S A. 15150, April 24 at 1427, WMLK at S9+20 direct but NO spurs
for a change every 4 kHz above and below (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 750, April 24 at 0605 UT, Spanish gospel music covering WSB,
so KMMJ Grand Island NE still refusing to stay off during the Atlantan
night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Glenn, to clarify what is going on with KGBC 1540:

KGBC in Galveston is the nominal “originating station” for K287BQ
105.3 in Houston, running a Spanish language Tropical format “Power
105.3”. Both signals are leased by the programmers of the “Power”
format.

KTWL 105.3 runs a Texas Country format. There is no actual connection
between them and KGBC or K287BQ or the “Power” format. Those behind
the “Power” format unsuccessfully attempted to buy KTWL a few years
ago, and have claimed it as an originating station, which is not the
case. There is also no connection with KKBQ or any of its subchannels;
the KKBQ HD-3 runs a “Red Dirt Country” format. The “Power” legal ID
is mostly fiction.

This is Houston, well known for various shenanigans among translator
and LPFM operators. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (via Glenn Hauser,
WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11935v, Apr 24 at 1635-1645, Republic of Yemen Radio
via SAUDI ARABIA missing, no signal into UTwente, following this from
Zacharias Liangas: ``Just 1056 checked 11935 starting from Addis
Ababa  Riyadh and Cyprus kSDR with no signal for the Yemeni station
also and after 11z`` Then I check former frequencies into UTwente:
11915 ex-11820, ex-11860, and not there either or something else now.
Then I make cursory check of every frequency 11700-12000 and still no
