** JAPAN. 18131.8 USB, May 9 at 2211, JF1EHM with fonetik call.
QRZ.com: ``JF1EHM Japan flag Japan, Ishida Hiroaki, 2-5 Yoshino-cho,
Minami-ku, Yokohama-city, Kanagawa, 232-0014, Japan`` ``my name is
Jim``. Not many phone sigs on band, but a minute later I`m hearing
Malta, quite a range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALTA. 18124 USB, May 9 after 2212, station working pileups of N
Americans on same frequency, with every quick contact says he is on
island of Gozo, Malta, but seldom with callsign which I never copy
completely - and the contacts are mostly uttering only their own
calls! One is VE9BS. DXheat cluster shows it`s 9H5BV, on Gozo, name
Dionne which I also heard once; altho a few minutes away are reports
of a 9H5BZ on same frequency.

Oh oh, QRZ.com lookup shows the above reports are confused: both are
on Gozo but: ``9H5BV Malta flag Malta, GEORGE CAMILLERI, CASA NAUTICA,
TRIW GHAXQET L-GHAJN, M SCALA GOZO, VCT 108, Malta``

While Dione is this one: ``9H5BZ Malta flag Malta, Dione Caruana,
`Maria`, 6, Church Street, Zebbug, Gozo ZBB1202, Malta`` - did not
sound like a YL. Has strict rules about who she? will contact, at
least 3000 km away, and ``My name is Dione. I live in the Island of
Gozo in an old village of Zebbug. I am a senior nurse and work in the
Emergency Department in one of our Local General Hospital. I am
married to Ben and have 2 lovely daughters.`` Many photos on qrz.com
indicate that 9H5BZ is indeed an OM; but you never know, trans one way
or another?

[non]. And their first contact also heard: ``VE9BS Canada flag Canada,
Byron Smith, Deer Island, New Brunswick, Canada, QSL: No QSL at this
time`` with lots of photos of the island, equipment (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.5, May 9 circa 1930/2000 UT, LP pirate playing rock

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, 17715, 15520, 15390, Fri May 9 at 2200, token English

leads with ``gotta pappa`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, May 9 at 2158, no signal from VOT English direct;
nor at 2225 check into UTwente, nor on accidentalternate 9875.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, May 9 at 2207 WTWW TOMBS without any spurs (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, May 10 at 0100, this WTWW is back on air, presumably
Ancient Word Radio. Was watching the waterfall from W1NT NH as I had
been monitoring 5130 WBCQ on it. Think 5085 just came on, at first
more signal about 5087 then to 5085, and no spurs showing. at 0102
seems to put out 5087 modulation again briefly. At 0130, mod/noise on
the low side. Hope they can keep it going until 0330 for WORLD OF
RADIO at 0300 UT Saturday as originally scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Pre-AAAWWW WBCQ monitoring into NH SDR, May 9 at 2355: 7490
-70 Hz = 7489.93 with FKB S9/+10. 5130 IS & ID S9/+10. 3265 also on
with FKB, S9/+10 but pulse QRM from 3260+. 6160 -73 Hz = 6159.927 with
other music S9+10. 9330 off at 2358 for antenna rotation. at 2359
Allan comes on live on 5130 // 7490. May 10 at 0000, `WTO` theme and
talkovers, first about new pope; ``enjoy it``; ``speed``? Now on 9330,
7490, 5130 and 3265. Brings up Angela on phone who must be back in
Fla, while Allan is in Maine on maintenance visit. We hardly hear from
her during the hour. Allan is quadricasting, from master control where
they stil have three copper-pair phone lines, two of which were dead.
Took telco four days to fix. 0010 Freddy interrupts with a phone call,
and long discussion about tractors (!) ensues. 0023 C&W song. 0035
datestamp as 9 of May YOOLF 2025, quadricasting. Except for
SuperStition, most equipment is 40-70 years old. 5130 needed more
voltage on driver; put in another plate transformer. 5130 now measured
at 5129.919. 0052 talk about cars and other vehicles. 0057 emails. Did
not get around to pinpointing 3265 before it went off, but in past has
been way off more than 100 Hz to plus side, unlike the others (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, May 9 at 0625 UT, Navajo chanting, so KTNN AZ is
obviously again failing to protect New York; when it is DA, really not
heard here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5100.0, May 9 at 0630, beeps, i.e. CW-like carrier on &
off at the precise rate of 26 times per minute. What`s this? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
