** OKLAHOMA. 89.7, May 21 at 2040 UT, $ tereo pilot is back on KJTH
Ponca City, contrary to my check May 18 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Some area tropo affects UHF TV, May 21 at 1455 UT. Bad
signal on RF 20 briefly decodes with News on 6, which is KOTV Tulsa,
and after tuning around I get same on RF 26, which is primary, but how
was I seeing same on 20? Rabbitears.info reminds us that RF 20 is
KQCW, 19-1, which is a substation of KOTV. Checking KQCW program
schedule, yes in fact they put News on 6 on KQCW during that and
several other hours. KOTV news stream audio is also on 1170 kHz, now
renamed KOTV too, ex-KTSB, ex-KFAQ, ex-KVOO. And 1170 also spews IBOC
QRM above 1180, ``jamming`` R. Martí.
Otherwise around 15 UT May 21: NO signal on 17, not a bit on the
``meter`` from local Enid K17JN-D misnamed K17JI-D. Either it is off,
or totally QRMed by DX, such as KTEN Ada, OK`s only full-power on 17.
Later in afternoon when tropo has burned off, still zero on 17, such
as 2330.
RF 29, KTUZ signal is BAD, unusual, must be DX QRM. But there are no
other full-powers in OK or KS per FCC LMS. BTW, City of License
Shawnee for KTUZ is meaningless, as it`s really part of the NE OKC
antenna farm, sharing the very same tower with all these TV and FM:
https://www.rabbitears.info/tower.php?request=site&asrn=1253490
And how can 27 KFOR-TV be only 55 kW ND, while 29 KTUZ-TV is 1000 kW
ND? Normally roughly equal signals here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, 17715, 15520, 15390, Wed May 21 at 2200, token
English from SNR on all four, previewing something about a festival;
news leading something about former Ukrainian leader fleeing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING below
** TURKEY. 11785, May 21 at 2159, 2215 direct, VOT no signal; nor at
2253 into UTwente, nor on accidentalternate 9875, tho that would have
WTWW splatQRM. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U K [non]. 11725, May 21 at 0602, S9/+25, BBC news relay via RNZP
again here instead of sked 13690, the booming voice of Neil Nunes, who
originated in Jamaica; and again the SSOB and if it were not for JBA
11700 France, OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 8992 USB, May 21 until 1437, US military crypto message
exercise concluding with ``Automatic, out``. Punxuated by irregular
noise bursts, rather like thunderclaps, which I think are intentional
among different types of self-imposed QRM; first heard on much weaker
15016 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2295 monitoring: ``Richard Lemke,
St. Albert, 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 #2295 [WRMI:]
9455 static QRN, QSB Fading, 2330, 2345 (45343), 2358, May 18 UTC 2025
[sic: was Sunday May 17]
9395 kHz, static QRN, S7 signal, 2332, 2345, 2358 (45433), 2359, May
20 UTC 2025 [Tue] (Lemke, Richard -AB)``
Confirmed Tuesday May 20 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/30 into Georgia
SDR.
Also confirmed Tuesday May 20 at 2331 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002,
S9/+10 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Wednesday May 21 at 1931 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000+, S9+10 and 3975.002-, S9/+10 both into UTwente.
Also confirmed Wednesday May 21 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -76 Hz =
7489.924, S3/S6 into NH SDR. BTW, tuning in early at 2056, it`s
*still* TOMBS instead of what used to precede and still shown on sked,
`Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` - not extravaganza, which would be feminine.
TOMBS has no built in breaks at hourtops, so he has to be chopped off
at 2059.5 for WBCQ promo and ID. Next:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 98.3, May 21 at 2040 UT, dead air in $ tereo, presumably my
otherwise near-local KQZQ Kiowa KS, home of Scott Becker, 97.0 kW ERP,
208.9 m HAAT (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9930, May 21 at 2204, WTWW at first with dead air, then
TOMBS modulation, extremely strong. Even before mod started I was
hearing splatter spurs, as well as the usual parasites plus and minus
12.9 kHz from center. The splatter beyond sort of peaks at multiples
of that, tho very diffuse/broad. Some peaks circa 9872, 9859,
especially 9846, 9808; upper around 10005 severely QRMing WWV! Once
there is talk modulation, on a second receiver I match the peaks to
9930 and NOT 9980 WWCR which is also TOMBsing but never synchronized.
Also match during music bits. I detect the splatter as far down as
9600 and as far up as 10250 very approximately. Meanwhile I emailed
George by 2225 urging him to close down immediately. Probably did not
get my message right away, altho abated slightly, but still there
around 9846, 10050; and at 2305 around 9846, 10015. At 2323 check,
9930 is still on but dead air again; turned off at 2327. Back on at
*2328.7 OC. 2330.7 resume TOMBS, shortly back to dead air. Making
adjustments, I guess. 2335 off again. *2342 cut back on with TOMBS
immediately, still broad splatter peaks circa 9846, 10015. And so it
goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, May 20 at 0635, R. Rebelde is on again, music S9+20 but
so is the noise level. Earlier at 0158 check, it was off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MOLDOVA. 15175, May 20 at *1957 carrier on, 1959 some mod, and 5+1
timesignal to 2000, Russian ``Novosti`` = news. Another test of Vesti
FM for DVR from Grigoriopol`. Surprised at the wide interest in these
from monitors in North America and Europe. Only S9/+5 into UTwente vs
OTH radar clickery already running between ~15150 and 15175 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 11725, May 20 at 0631, RNZP S9 here only,
not on 13690 like last night, where supposedly sked until 0758. It`s
the SSOB and except for JBA 11700 FRANCE, the OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. A bit of area tropo visiblizes a couple more channels to
explore, May 20 at 0440-0445 UT:
RF23, OKC:
52-1 KSBI-HD
52-2 BOUNCE
52-3 LAFF
52-4 GRIT
52-5 ION+ [why isn`t this with ION on RF 18??]
Also the STB remembers some alternate virtuals: 52-1 and 52-2 leading
to RF51 where of course there is no signal any longer.
RF28: which is KTPX-TV Okmulgee, Tulsa market; compare to OKC RF 18 in
previous report, some match, but not all on KOPX.
44-1 ION
44-2 [skipped]
44-3 CourtTV
44-4 MOVIES!
44-5 Mystery
44-6 GameSho
44-7 QVC
44-8 HSN
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.006, May 20 at 2159, VOT not off the air, IS &
English IDs, S9+10 direct but not enough vs local hi noise level. At
2248 into UTwente when measured, S9+20/30 of music. 2252
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2253 s/off as if it`s the 1230 on
17620, awry at Ankara, and first notes of IS once before chop, no
finesse, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. ``Hi Glenn! I have been trying to log N4WLO/B on 28200.5 kHz
for the past several days to confirm the message he is sending, but I
have been unable to due to the poor conditions. When I first logged
the beacon back in August 2024, the operator was just sending a series
of dits with a short break in between, and his callsign once every ten
minutes. A couple of weeks ago, several listeners reported to the
hfbeacons list that his message had changed. They reported that he was
now sending “TEST DE N4WLO/B”, so “TEST” is likely what you heard as
“NST”. Whether it was the rapid speed of the code or imperfect keying,
“TE” could easily sound like an “N”. Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` I
bet that`s it; tnx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2295 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday May 20 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/30 into S Texas SDR.
Also confirmed Tuesday May 20 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S9+15/30 direct.
Immediately follows music at end Slovakia relay in Spanish, no ToH
ID.

direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday May 20 at 2004 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.995, S8 and noisy into UTwente. Next:

** U S A. 9955, May 20 at 2205, WRMI anomalies: this frequency
missing; 9455 is on, S9+20/30 direct, M&W discussing dress, athletix,
Oral Roberts. 9395 weaker and undermod, sounds similar but not //
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.60 approx., May 20 at 0643 UT, mystery JBA carrier
hetting 810.0 WHB. Its exact frequency varies a little from one log to
the next (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1030 kHz, May 20 at 0645 UT, nothing but noise. Sounds
like regular AM being fed noise and emitting it, rather than IBOC or
anything else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15120-15145 approx., May 20 at 2202, OTH radar clickery,
vs no broadcasters but condx are awful. See also MOLDOVA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, May 20 at 0158, R. Rebelde is off; had been fairly
reliable lately but weaker. Something`s wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MOLDOVA. 13730.011+, May 19 at 1551, Russian S9+25/35 into UTwente;
5+1 timesignal to 1600, silence and off some seconds later. Another
test of Vesti FM from Grigoriopol` site in Russian-occupied Moldova,
a.k.a. Pridnestrovye/Transnistria. Also heard widely in N America, tnx
to Alexander Miatlikov, Ukraine tip:
``Another round of SW tests from Grigoriopol-Mayak tx site in
Moldova/Transnistria towards the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the Far
East.

15.00-16.00 UTC
19.00-20.00 UTC
300 kW, 16 degrees
https://t.me/s/powerfulradio/290
P.S. Last time, this source also claimed the power was 300 kW, while a
worker of that tx site wrote on radioscanner.ru/forum that it was 500
kW. Maybe it's 500 kW now too`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 13690, May 19 at 0618, RNZP only here, not also on
11725 as was the case last night at 0648. Sked calls for 13690 only
until 0758, then 11725 plus 9700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 99.7, May 19 at 2220 UT, ``99-7 The Wolf`` ID,
i.e. KWFF. This frequency was hijacked from Enid to Mustang, SW of
OKC, by previous owner, then KXLS calls applied to 95.7 Lahoma
instead. But we still have `The Wolf` on 106.3, which is KWOF Waukomis
= Enid market. Both country format. How original! WTFDA FMDB lists 117
Wolfs in USA, and one Canadian, 104.9 CFWF-FM Regina, predominantly
country but scattering of rockishes. I fail to appreciate how branding
radio stations The Wolf accomplish anything positive (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 102.7, May 19 at 1938 UT, KJYO is on the air unlike
yesterday, but seems a bit weaker than other OKCs (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 105.3, May 19 at 1940 UT into caradio, enough signal to
be sure it`s MONO, not $ tereo, on the ``Infinity Sports Network``, ads
including one for Juneteenth with a (405) area code, so it`s not KFBZ
In Kansas, but per WTFDA FM Database, KINB, Kingfisher OK, 0.93/0.93
kW, 254.0 m with CBS Sports Radio - different than Infinity? Was
rebranded on April 15, 2024 per Wikipedia. So add one more to the MONO
survey. I suppose this little station tries to reach part of the OKC
Metro. Site is halfway between Kingfisher and Piedmont, i.e. further
from Enid, and circular prime contour only reaches NW OKC, not quite
to Lake Hefner. I wonder why they could not go to higher power (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Tornado season means OKC TV stations blow away a lot of
network programming, for often continuous storm coverage. May 19 at
2233 UT, KFOR `4` RF 27 did join NBC Afternoonly News a bit late;
while KWTV `9`, RF 25 shunted CBS Afternoon News to its substation
KSBI `52` RF 23 Cable 16. KOCO ABC and KOKH Fox also have substations
but I`ve yet to find them shunting major network programming to any of
those. KFOR could also do that, to KAUT. Or extremely important
preëmpted shows can be played in the nightmiddle for recording, such
as Jeopardy on KFOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, 17715, 15520, 15390, Mon May 19 at 2200, token
English from SNR nominal direct on all four in order of decreasing
strength, and precious little else from Europe on these bands. Preview
topix: Olive Oil Council meeting in Madrid; Eurovision Song Contest
won by Austria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 9875.005+, Sunday May 18 at 2046, VOT English
backwards into UTwente, S9+15, tuned just in time for end of `The
Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy` and start of `The Letterbox Show` -
as I have just finished delayed viewing of the #1 TV show, CBS Sunday
Morning via website minus commercials, which totals 62.5 minutes. As
usual I can only guess at some of the names, while others are repeat
attenders. 1) Michael Kovsky? NY, has 11780 Brasil QRM to 11785. 2)
Anatoly Klepov, Moskva wants May QSL: he reports every month. 3)
Christian Henke?, Germany, visited TRNC and has tried to QSL R.
Bayrak, but mail does not go thru; can VOT forward? 4) Mario Peña,
Zaragoza, Spain, has monitored Turkish and French, when is Spanish? 5)
Jayanta Chakroborty, India, 03 UT broadcast missing but heard next
day, better on 7275 aimed at NAm than 6165 toward ME. 6) Orlando?,
Taranto, Italy. 7) John Miller, Ochlocknee? Georgia, reports
``11875``. 8) Hideki? Miyaki? Japan, heard Chinese at 1100 on 17620,
et al. tentatively VOT. 2105 wrapup; says 5/19 is Atatürk Day, 2106
plays children`s choir with patriotic song. 2109 outro theme.
Don`t need to hear 2200 on 11785.006, but confirmed on at 2229 check,
S9+45 into UTwente, when I hear that Georgia town better (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, May 19 at 2158, VOT not off the air but JBA direct
equal to noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2295 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 18 at 2155 the 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002+, S9+10 into
UTwente.
Also confirmed Sunday May 18 at 2330 on WRMI-11, 9455, S9+20/35 into S
Texas SDR, VG for us, NW across the continent. Skedgrid finally shows
this correctly on System D, not 7570 or 7780.
Also confirmed UT Monday May 19 at 0030 on WRMI-13, 7780, S9+10/30
into S Texas SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday May 19 from 0305 on Area 51 webcast only as
previous program ran over; while WBCQ 5130 cut off at 0302*.
Also confirmed Monday May 19 at 1953 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001, S9+10/15 and on 3975.002+, S8/S9, both into UTwente. Next:
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast];
1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast];

** U S A. 5085, May 20 at 0158 & 0228 chex, this WTWW is on again and
so is the other transmitter 5920. Still no sign of 9475, the daytime
counterpart of 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9455, May 19 at 0539, this WRMI-11 is off again, so last
night`s expansion was anomalous. It`s also off at 0052 May 20 during
its nominal 00-04 schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17525, haven`t run across WMLK here for weeks in random
afternoon bandscans; is totally unused? HFCC A25 registered 1730-2230
daily except Sabbathdays. Mostly heard mornings on 15150, some
evenings on 9275. Last logged March 6-7-8 by myself and others when at
first it was putting out 8X kHz spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1650, 1640, 1620 kHz, May 19 at 0600 UT, stupid sportstalk
as I tune downward, slight delay from 1650 to 1640 and a bit longer
delay on 1620, as network feeds are seldom synchronized from one
affiliate to another, i.e.: FSR on 1650 KCNZ Cedar Falls IA, to 1640
KZLS Hennessey/Enid OK, to 1620 KOZN Bellevue NE (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. ``Hi Glenn, It took a while, but I believe I can rule
out your 1549.82 carrier as being XEREL Morelia. I've attached an AVI
file that is from my recording of 11 May 2025 near local sunrise, when
the path between my home and Morelia was still in darkness. You can
hear the Mexican anthem weakly in the recording and notice that no
signal peaks are in the 1549.8-1549.9 range. I did not hear an ID, but
XEREL is the only known Mexican on 1550 in the UTC-6 time zone.
It is possible that another Mexican has recently become active on
1550, perhaps XECCAW in Jalisco, and that is the station playing the
anthem. In that case, though, XEREL is putting in virtually no signal
for me at 88 miles/142 km away. They have never been strong here
despite being on a wide-open frequency, and my suspicion since you
queried me about their signal is that the only way they will get to
Oklahoma is with a plane ticket. 73, Mike Jeziorski, Qro.``
Tnx, Mike. Well, I would settle for Perú instead, hi (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6938.0, May 19 at 0556, JBA carrier again, cf
yesterday`s report: ``NORTH AMERICA. 6938 AM, May 18 at 0208 and still
0232, open carrier vs HSNL; at least I can`t make out any mod if it be
a pirate? Nothing now reported in HFU, tho lots of older logs, unIDs,
USB or AM``
To which Walt Salmaniw, BC replied: ``Glenn, I often hear this OC in
Masset, but always assumed it was somehow connected to my Bodnar
mini-GPS that does put out some spurs. I've never seen any modulation
associated with it. 73, Walt``
Well, I don`t have a Bodnar mini-GPS, whatever that be, so really
think 6938 be external to both of us. Should appear on various remotes

** CUBA [and non]. Glad to have a report from a listener inside
Cuba!:
``Report about Radio Marti on AM from Cuba. Pavel Milanes Costa
(CO7WT) Sat, May 17 at 4:51 AM --- Hi, Pavel, CO7WT from Camagüey,
Cuba, about Radio Martí on AM on your World of Radio 2295 May 15 2025.
Radio Martí is heard routinely on Cuba on AM on 1180 kHz, there are
some funny situations that made that possible.
There is no secret on the long Cuba's energy crisis, and as you may
expect the local time 1700 (5pm) to 2100 (9pm) and sometimes up to
2300 (11pm) or later is the high demand period and they can't supply
the demand; then most of the country [but Havana, that is protected at
all costs] got routinely blackout at that times.
As a result a few of the local AM transmitters get powered from diesel
generators sometimes at reduced power; or usually just shut down
altogether. Lately the AM transmitters are just powered off during the
mentioned period and local diesel power is reserved for FM stations
[also on reduced power].
So, almost every province has an AM transmitter on 1180 kHz to jam the
Radio Martí one, but some AM listeners got a surprise when instead of
Radio Rebelde or a local station on the memory of his radio or they
dial spot get Radio Martí, mind the surprise of the listeners 😂
Attached is a recording of right now, local Radio Rebelde Transmitter
off and Radio Martí is coming strong, and here you have a picture of
the SDR waterfall. {visible in the WOR iog}
Receiver is a SDRplay with a 15m `long wire` connected to a 9:1
transformer for SW and MW monitoring, but you can pick it up decently
with almost any AM radio, my PL-880 on local setting has no problem to
hear Radio Martí on 1180 kHz most of the time.
Note: the heavy wiggly noise on the waterfall is my Battery inverter
system that makes some noise, but even with that noise it's easily
received, at this time the level of RM is down a little but around 8
pm local it's very strong here.
So, with the blackouts they are turning off the jamming stations and
at least in Camagüey Cuba it's normal to hear it with battery operated
radios.
73 and 88, a long time listener of your programs and lately an avid
SW/MW listener.``
Tnx, Pavel! More about him here:

** CUBA. 9790, May 18 at 0218, no signal from CRI relay, which had
been more reliable than RHC itself, other than insufficient
modulation. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725 // 13690, May 18 at 0648, RNZP on two AM
frequencies at once! Anomaly? 11725 is S8/9+25 while 13690 is only
S6/S9. What does their websked now show?

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925- AM, May 18 at 0209, pirate music, still at
0232; slightly low in frequency. These say Liquid Radio, logs before
and after these times as plain old 6925:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6938 AM, May 18 at 0208 and still 0232, open carrier
vs HSNL; at least I can`t make out any mod if it be a pirate? Nothing
now reported in HFU, tho lots of older logs, unIDs, USB or AM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 87.9, May 18 at 1608 UT, nearby dead air in $ tereo is on
again, idle feeder? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Sporadic E on FM is hopping around us, so I
bandscan on the caradio, getting none of that, but observing monophony
on nearer signals: i.e. no $ tereo icon, not going by how they sound
as it`s not unusual for $ stations to emit monophonic content, even
music. Except for 89.7, correctly mono in WTDFA FMDB per my previous
input. This is 1600-1630 UT Sunday May 18:
89.3, KIEL Loyal
89.7, KJTH Ponca City, The House -- not noticed mono before, mostly
Christian music; anomaly? Yet its relay on 88.5, KZTH Piedmont is
$ tereo but sounds mono.
90.3, KHEV Fairview
92.1, KFXI Marlow - during church service, but always mono, music too
94.3, KCVW Kingman KS - since it`s Bott // 95.1
95.1, KQCV-FM Shawnee, Bott, // 94.3, mixed with KICT Wichita $
100.9, K265FL Enid of talker KGWA 960
105.1, KQSB Perry, sportstalk
91.7, KOSU OKC, normally mono all day with NPR/talk, M-F, is in $ tereo Sunday in the 16-18 UT hour with music show: `The Toaster Brunch` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 102.7, May 18 at 1615, no KJYO signal or only a trace of
something, while other OKCs are normal/nominal: 100.5, 101.9, 104.1,
etc. (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 13, May 18 at 0238 UT, three of the four OETA channels
are black except for lower-right bugs, i.e. they are getting no
programming input to put out, -2 World, -3 Create, -4 Kids - while -1
is nominal with main channel movie! Still so for a few minutes, but by
0245 check, they are all back. Storm is hitting OKC, maybe partial
power outage or satellite dishes disrupted.
** OKLAHOMA. I`ve been intending to survey all the sub/channels of the
OKC TV stations, as the lineups keep shifting - indeed I run across
some ``channel`` with names new to me. This is not via the rooftop
antenna, but rabbit ears on the second floor which I have very
carefully positioned for best/reliable reception of OETA RF 13. This
means that some other OKC channels don`t decode without messing with
the r-e which I don`t want to do: mainly KWTV 9 RF25, KSBI 52 RF23.
BTW, this handy dipole dates from my OKC era 1954-1961y, when they
were quite sufficient for local reception. No UHF loop included. These
names are read off the PSIP display, not from on-screen bugs which are
often different or variant! And note the capitalization and
punxuation, which I have copied exactly. This was accomplished around

** PERU. 4810 & 4820, May 18 at 0225, JBA carriers vs HSNL, no doubt
the Peruvian pair not yet signed off for the night, R. Logos, Chazuta,
San Martín, and R. Senda Cristiana, Cotahuasi, Arequipa (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, May 18 at 0226, WTWW is off again, 24 hours after it
was on again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9346.04 AM, May 18 at 0214 JBA talk, S9+10 vs HSNL direct
into the R75: but I can match the mod to 9330 WBCQ WLCR English into
the handy PL660 with no external antenna. First time I`ve heard such a
spur out of the SuperStition. Match 16+ kHz below? NO trace of any
circa 9314. 0233 recheck, now it`s drifted to 9346.09 or so.
Something`s messed up at Monticello (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5800, UT Sun May 18 at 0220, WRMI with talk about ham radio.
O, this axually matches the sked for WRMI-11 on System D: `CQ Calling`
at 0215-0230 UT Sundays. Entire hour on Tue-Sat is R. República (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9455, May 18 at 0645, unusually this WRMI-11 is ON, S9+30
direct, with SMTV // 9395 which is only S9+20. Maybe 9455 will finally
still be running System D during the 0900-1000 hour, including WOR
Saturdays at 0930?? System E TOMBS supposedly also 9455 daily
0800-0900. Xmtr grid still shows 9455 only at 2300-0400 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1010 kHz, May 18 at 0229 UT in bandscan vs HSNL around here,
ad for Florida homeowners from Florida Pest Control. Gee, could this
be from Florida? Yes, WJXL Jaxonvil Beach *still* way out of whack, U4
50/30 kW, day and night patterns supposed to throw it all out
eastward into the Atlantic. Surely the easiest way to DX Fla on MW
without really trying. Is better on my E/W loop than N/S shortwire. As
I last logged it in early March (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4849.95 approx., May 18 at 0638, JBA carrier direct,
pirate? But too late for Europe? See previous report (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6110, May 18 at 0224, JBA carrier. Fana, Ethiopia should
not be on until 0255 or 0300. EiBi & Aoki agree TIBET is on 6110 now,
but it`s mid-morning there. Aoki also shows R. Delta, Holland but not
until 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
