 ** CANADA [and non]. 346 MCW kHz, June 25 at 0626, dash and YXL is JBA direct, even when my ``locals`` are uncopiable vs high line and storm noise levels, beyond perhaps a JBA carrier only: 255 SW Stillwater OK, 293 FBY Fairbury NE, 329 PMV Portsmouth NE, 332 IC Wichita KS, 395 CA Newton/Harvs KS, 407 HRU Herington KS. All of which are 25 watts except 400 for IC, really? The 500 watts from SiouX Lookout ON makes the difference (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, June 25 at 0624, R. Rebelde not off the air but S9+25 making it the SSOB except for WWV. Only other broadcast detectable is JBA carrier from Estación 4940, Venezuela, since 4840 WWCR is OFF, q.v. (Glenn Hauser,, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

WORLD OF RADIO 2300 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF (30 years of service), Antenna: random long wires in the trees, World of Radio #2300, congratulations: 9455 kHz, Static QRN, S6, S7 signal, 2330, 2344, 2345, 2358, June 22 UTC 2025 [Sun] 9395 kHz, 2330-2345, 2359 S5, S6 signal, just heard voice no ID, difficult, June 24 UTC 2025 Tue. (Lemke, Richard -AB) Typed, June 24, 2025, 73’s, Richard Lemke, 7:08 pm (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Confirmed Tuesday June 24 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/35 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed Tuesday June 24 at 2331 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002+, S9/+10 into UTwente. Next: 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. Thanks for financial support this week from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, marking Summer Solstice, a generous check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, June 25 at 0616, NO signal from WBCQ. Also at 1456 - but that could be during a rotation pause - NO, STILL NO SIGNAL at 1521, 1700. What`s wrong? BTW, 9330 is often unreasonably weak for 500? 250? kW, when WLC is beaming toward Brasil, off the side to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5935, June 25 at 0622, this WWCR is OFF instead of all-night blasting DGS/PMS/TUN. Then I quickly discover 4840 is also OFF, having first checked 5890 whether it be off as it is supposed to be, unlike last night. So now, ALL WWCRs are off. What`s wrong? At 1613, 13845 is on, 12160 is on with song ``Young Love`` during WW Country Radio, 9980 is off. Current websked shows WWCR-4 on 9980 is available ``13-01`` UT, meaning 12-24 UT, axual usage straight thru those hours is only on Sat & Sun, while on M-F, 9980 is ON only at 12-14 & 22-24. Of course this will all shrink to zilch if TOMBS axually quit radio after June 30. Has anyone found any explicit confirmation of such plans on website, direct from TOMBS, or mention on air? or more from Jeff White on Wavescan? As for `WW Country Radio`, a much-needed respite from all that politico-gospel huxtering, now sked: M-F 16-17 12160, Tue-Fri and Sun 05-06 4840. ``Ring of Fire``at 1621. These are real standards, so wonder if any `new` shows are being produced, or just recycling evergreens like `The Talking [sic] Machine Show` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. FCC website https://www.fcc.gov/general/high-frequency-stations-seasonal-operating-frequency-schedules Now has a link to A25 schedules as of April 29, but axually leads to B24! However if you edit the link to A25, there really is one at: https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/A25FCC01.TXT Also updated on the WOR homepage. Strangeness: WTWW, finally has correct 5920 and 9930 instead of 5830 and 9940, but NOT 5085! And 12105 in case that ever reactivate third transmitter. Imaginary WWCR registrations: would you believe 124 entries? Covering intraseasonal time changes, and segments within a broader span. Frequencies not really in use now: 3195, 3215, 6090, 7390, 11775, 12180, 15795, 15825. 6090 & 11775 are ex-Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla; 3195 was necessary only when sharing 3215 with defunct WWRB. 12180 & 7390 presumably alternates in case of QRM to 12160, 7490. WRMI not in use: 9975, 17775, i.e. ex-KVOH. WJHR fixionally as 50 kW on 15555 as if AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, June 25 at 0617, weak open carrier direct, one of the mysterious group always ending in 6. Had been accompanied by clickery over a much broader range, but too much noise level to detect that now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9340.4, June 25 at 0616, S6/S9 open carrier direct, while 9330 WBCQ is AWOL. Ditto at 1456 check when it`s a JBA carrier. What is this?
