** CUBA. 5025, April 4 at 0635, no signal from R. Rebelde, failing
even to provide dead air! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALI. 5995, April 4 at 0630, ORTM is on again after missing a few
days. Others also report some but not all of the CRI relays are back
on air. What happened? Would like to hear/confirm token English for a
few minutes Saturday around 1850 on 5995, but no nearby Kiwis now, not
even Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, which used to get it. Wait, there
it is now, EA8/DF4UE. I guess its activity depends on when the German
ham be visiting. The display is very different from other Kiwis. At
1735, ORTM is VG still on day frequency 9635. At 1759 ID in French and
off*; about *1759.5, 5995 comes on with music, but drops off at 1801.
Next check at 1825 is on with music and het of about 1 kHz, from?
Retune at 1847 anticipating English circa 1850, so drops off air again
at 1851* just in time to disavailablize English, if any! Off until
*1900 sharp back on with music, 1902 ID in French with FM frequency
only, music, another offage 1904*-*1908 music, 1908 another French ID
only for FM four-score-and twelve MHz. Even while off, the `het` is
still heard, or rather a tone, but nothing else is listed around now
on 5995 in Aoki, EiBi, HFCC. In HFCC not even ORTM but the CRI relays
are. So much for that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Sat Apr 4 at 1453 past 1500, S7/S9 in English,
so RNZP again here contrary to own sked. By 1625 check of KFS on SW
antenna, it`s off, but rather on 7440 with good S7/S9 signal in
strange choral music. Own websked shows 7440 going to 9700 at 1551,
not the other way around! Something`s really wrong at Rangitaiki, NZ
is about to go off summer time, back to UT plus only 12, so that may
entail more transmission changes, certainly shifts in programmme
times; like `Mediawatch` at 2106 UT Sat on 17675, ex-2006 on 15720
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Follow-up on tornado coverage, UT Sat April 4 from 0325;
by now the tornado risk has moved eastward from OKC. BTW, ``Fox 25``
KOKH, was also doing tornado coverage, but did not find any radio
stations relaying it; always #4 in the market. RF 24, cable 8 in Enid.
93.3 is on but weak with KWTV
93.7 KSPI Stillwater NWS
96.9 back to talk
98.1 back to ESPN
98.9 music
100.5 music
101.9 music
102.7 music
104.1 music
106.7 music
107.7 still on KWTV
1520 KOKC at 0331 dead air, 0332 talk. BTW, I see that the cheater
which used to QRM it, KOLM Rochester MN, is gone.
After 0335 UT, forget about late shows on NBC, ABC or CBS -- KFOR,
KOCO and KWTV are still wall-to-wall tornadic. They are all reruns
anyway on a Friday, especially a holyday. KWTV however sloughs off
Colbert/CBS to its secondary outlet, KSBI RF 23, virtual 52, cable 16
in Enid. KFOR and KOCO also own plenty of minor cable channels but I
don`t see NBC or ABC moved onto them (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2341 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday April 4 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, many tnx to Bob Biermann for
getting it loaded remotely into the automation, and George McClintock
for getting the operators to turn on that transmitter. After BB`s own
`Truth2Ponder`, 0259 ID as Ancient Word Radio, WTWW, S9+20/35 into
Georgia SDR; a bit rough into WOR transition and some audio dropouts
at first, but stayed on air, then with 0329 music and turnoff at
0331*. Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 0957 the 0930 on WRMI 7570, still
wrongly shown as 9455 along with many other programs on the WRMI
skedgrid. Not confirmed Sat Apr 4 at 1450 on SW Radio Gold, Germany into
UTwente, instead Texas Radio Shortwave about Sly Stone, as now shown
on the SWRG program sked for this date at 1400-1500. On Sat Apr 11,
WOR should be back at 1430. TRSW preemption is monthly? Confirmed Saturday April 4 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 into Knoxville
SDR. Also confirmed Saturday April 4 at 1600 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S9+5/15
into Knoxville; immediately preceded by a plug/commercial voiced by
Jeff for DXtra.com. Listed as // 7730, but apparently still off the
air, not a trace into Miramar which used to get it, nor any other
Florida KiwiSDR. Geez, I still had this at 1700 on the lineup in last
report. Hope I did not miss any other timeshifts. Next: 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM [1900/2100];

check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One my also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 890, April 4 at 0609 UT, weak signals here, not sure what,
but something is very wrong at WLS Chicago, as the other major clears,
670, 720 and 780 are inbooming as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1700 kHz, April 4 at 0615 UT, incredibly half-speed and
half-pitch music and talk, hard to understand or even whether it`s
Spanish but I think English. Must be KKLF Richardson TX which is
dominant when on. Is this reel-to-reel tape at 7.5 ips mistakenly
played at 3.75? It could be even less than half, hard to tell. Of
course it`s now possible to speed up or slow down recorded playbacks
while maintaining the proper pitch! This goes on and on past 0633. I
hear San Antonio mentioned at 0620. Maybe being fed thus out of
Jalapeño group flagship KEDA 1540? Really incredible, no one paying
attention, but me? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 4940, April 4 at 0335, Estación 4940 is back on air but
JBA, not unusual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1928 UT April 4
