** JAPAN. 11800, May 6 at 1411, NHK World R Japan, only token English broadcast, M&W dialog, seems like language lesson, S3/S4 direct. While 11815 in Japanese is slightly stronger somehow, S4/S5, both beamed away from us. At 1434, 11800 still going, listed Burmese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, May 6 at 0637, S7 African talk, so ORTM not off the air at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1680 kHz, May 6 circa 2030 UT, Virtual DJ Radio via lowpower pirate in Enid, peaking circa crossroad of US 81 and US 412, for the record, is still active, playing ``Ghost Riders in the Sky``. I have never located its exact source; would require a lot of footwork (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, May 6 at 1400, no signals yet for Wednesday net. Could be on 7477 instead? Nothing there either. *1402.7 starts 5140 late with alternate NCS WPFY721, Seminole EOC. Does not give own name but later addressed as Ernie. Does not go thru the counting routine etc., that Breanna does - they go by different scripts. Oklahoma Operations Secure Test Net. Roll call of each one twice unless answered first. WQYW443, Beckham County; WQZT582, Broken Arrow; WQSY836, Byng; WNPV700, Durant, Bryan County; Bill answers, L&C, always strongest here; WQUG374, Leflore County; WQYW883, Moore EOC; Gaylon? answers, JBA; WNUW216, OKC Mac?; WNUW215, Ponca City; KNGR728, Pontotoc County; WSHM692, State of Oklahoma [call of alt.

Till next week at 9 am local, 1410 clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 6950, May 5 at 2212, 5 x 1390 harmonic of KCRC Enid, intermittently hitting S9+20/30 on two different antennas, much stronger than usual JBA here a couple miles from site. In such a situation might be DXable, sports format unlikely to be mistaken for genuine pirate. Also always audible on 2980, 4170, JBA 5560. 6950 behaving the same 24 hours later on May 6 at 2223, S9+20 peaks (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 13580, May 6 at 2218, weak S9, undermodulated? in English. EiBi shows it`s RRI Tsiganeshti to Far East this hour. BTW, the T has a cedilla under it making it sound TS, and the S too making it SH. Everyone else seems to ignore this, misspelling it simply TIGANESTI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17715 S9+10 // 15520 S9/+20 // 15500 S9+30 and still no signal on 15390, May 6 at 2200, REE with timesignal and Spanish PSA about how expats may vote in the May 17 Andalucía elexion; 2201 open token English on Wednesdays only, ``live`` [not] from studio in Madrid radio house. Daniel of the extremely heavy accent and Alba lighter accent at breakneck pace to make the most of only one hour a week, with continuous irrelevant musical background. Preview some topix: difficulties of journalism in East Africa; National Gallery in London to feature Velásquez and two other XVII century Spanish artists. 2203 news summary, leading with the hantavirus cruise ship which is heading from Cabo Verde to Tenerife in Canarias, as Spanish government says it`s their moral responsibility to handle the situation, unlike the Canary governor(?) who does not welcome them; and the campaign in Andalucía... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 5 at 2158, VOT IS & ID, not off the air, S9+10/20 stronger than usual direct and almost equal 11780 Brasil.

But no broadcaster listed on 15180 now in Aoki, EiBi or HFCC. At 2303 into Georgia SDR, an inaudible and invisible carrier at 15180 synched at +240v Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED.
