** CHINA. 11120, May 27 at 1430, CNR1 jammer, poor S2-4
11460, May 27 at 1431, CNR1 jammer, S3-S4
12500, May 27 at 1433, CNR1 jammer, poor S3-S5,and // 11120.

All of these fit the timespan in Aoki/NDXC for such jammers against
Sound of Hope, Miaoli, Taiwan. Never the same set on from one day to
the next. Then bandscan 8.9-15.0 MHz found no more WOOB jammers by
1438 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. See USA: AM & FM midday bandscans including some OKies

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1983 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 26 at 2145 the 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA vs high noise level.

Also confirmed UT Monday May 27 on WRMI 9395, S9+10, fair vs noise.

Also confirmed UT Monday May 27 on WRMI 7780, very poor

Also confirmed UT Monday May 27 on Area 51 webcast; and at 0328 on
WBCQ 5130.4 vs HNL

Also confirmed UT Monday May 27 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+10, a few
seconds overlap by preceding Czech song fill

I am often lunching during the following, but thanks to Alan Roe,
Teddington UK, for checking May 27: ``World of Radio 1983 heard
Monday 1815-1845 UT with strong signal on 7290 kHz via IRRS via
Romania.``

Next:
0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions], ND
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955, to SSE [fingers crossed to stay on air]
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v [and/or 2130], to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780, to NE

[it appears we will now be running on a Friday-to-Thursday cycle, so
freshest new airings are on weekends]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. May 27 starting at 1900 UT, less than one semihour after
local mean noon, bandscans on caradio from central Enid at a fairly
quiet parking lot, at least so at the long end of MW/low end of MF.
No storm noise now, but increasing line noise higher in the AM band.
I skip over many frequencies, only some notable items:

530, `K530AM`, Vance AFB is still off and maybe gone forever, rather
than inane loops of Ad Council PSAs, interspersed with occasional
imaginary IDs and never heard with any traffic or emergency info. As
in DXLD 18-30, it had been ``off the air again for a few days`` as of
July 18, 2018 --- and never heard since despite regular chex. If it
does resume, I shall be sure to report it.

560, fast SAH, maybe 20 Hz, presumably KWTO MO and KLZ CO at the
limits of their groundwaves 300+ and 400+ miles. But MWOffsets has
KLZ at .0000 and KTWO only 0.3 Hz away at .9997 --- nothing anywhere
near 20 Hz away

630, JBA talk, presumably KHOW Denver with far better Ogallala
Aquifer conductivity than KYFI St Louis beyond the Ozarx

650, JBA talk, presumably KGAB Orchard Valley WY (Cheyenne) as
previously under optimum GW conditions, like the Denverites

670, ``Call to Freedom`` program with Denver address: KLTT Commerce
City CO (Denver), a regular at the margins with 50 kW; no WSCR today

1070-, KFTI Wichita KS, country, is OFF! Very unusual; Memorial
holiday break? Hope they are fixing their off-frequency-minus
transmitter; yeah, sure. KNX beware. But this allows weak 1080 KRLD
Dallas to be heard without splash. KFTI still off at 1948 check

1090, weak religious talk, no doubt 10 kW KEXS Excelsior Springs MO
(Kansas City); highest frequency daytime GW from that area, 300+
miles, continues to amaze me

1130, KLEY Wellington KS, still OFF as has been for some weeks now

1190, medium SAH, presumably our two closest but also too far: KVSV
Beloit KS, and KFXR Dallas TX

1230, WBBZ Ponca City OK, is OFF! Very unusual for this semi-local
which has not been noted with any techdiffs. Another holidayer? Still
off at 1949 recheck. Nothing else audible, like the only other Okie,
which I *need*, KADA, where else but, Ada?

1460, KZUE El Reno OK, still on unlike offknocked by previous
tornado. Spanish talk, and PSA in Spanish for ``The Marines``! So not
plugged into Mexico City yet.

Re the name of the hmotel in El Reno hit by tornado, I finally got a
glimpse on KFOR of their sign still standing, American Budget Inn, I
think. Then reporter verbalized it: American Value Budget Inn, or
Budget Value per the grafix. Confusing.

1580, KLTR Blackwell OK, now it`s 1909 UT, dead air, while sibling
1020 KOKP Perry OK is nominal. I think there has been flooding in
Blackwell

88.3 and 92.1 Enid are still open carrier/dead air; nearby 89.3 &
90.3 are nominal.

93.5, rock?, fading in and out, Es? 1927 ``My Country 93-5``, so the
only hit on the WTFDA Database is KKDT Burdett KS, 95 kW H&V, 304.8
meters. Why should a town of 247 have such a big radio station? Maybe
because it`s midway between Jetmore and Larned. Wherever there
happens to be a kilofoot tower available? Burdett is 248 km = 154
stmi NW from Enid. Tropo from KS is slightly enhanced

101.5, Spanish but not gospel huxter KOCD nearby Okeene, still off.
Not to be faked out by ``La Mexicana``, fading 1918 ads and ID for
101.5 and 92.9, i.e. 100 kW KSMM Liberal KS way out by Guymon in the
OK Panhandle, relaying 92.9 KMML Cimarrón KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,

Logs
** CUBA. 12200, May 26 at 0606, RHC English S7-S9 but undermodulated,
2 x 6100 harmonic becoming reliable. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, May 26 at 0600, VON AWOL again, no signal altho it
was there 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, UT Sun May 26 at 0300-0400 UT, KUCO-FM with
`Weekend Radio`, comedy stuff from WCLV we listen to every week now
if not an hour earlier via WCLV itself webcast. Should have, as
ruined on KUCO, interrupted 5 or 6 times this hour for tornado
warnings, with those horrible tones, and instead of clear talk, a
pileup of multiple echoes as different stations --- nodes? in the
chain are all coming in at once! Isn`t it about time the EAS got
their act together?!?! Not necessarily blaming KUCO for this
situation altho did not check how they were coming across other
stations. This was the hour when the tornado hit El Reno. I`ve yet to
hear any newscast utter the *names* of the motel or trailer park. Is
this info being deliberately suppressed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K. 12015, May 26 at 0614, BBCWS interview in English, S8-S9,
matched with // 9440. HFCC shows both as Woofferton but 9440 supposed
to be in French. Accurate language info in HFCC is not assured (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1983 monitoring: confirmed UT Sun
May 26 at 0330 in progress on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO. Far too much storm
noise to detect just where in the show this was, just recognize my
own voice.

Also confirmed by ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Logs in Friol, Tecsun
S-8800, cable antenna, 8 meters: 7265, Hamburger LokalRadio, Göhren,
*0900-1120, 26-05, 0900 German, at 1000 English, ID “This is
Hamburger LokalRadio”, “Media Network Plus” and Glenn Hausers’s

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Sat May 25 at 2329 tune-in, WTWW-2 has already
started `Theater Organ in the Ozarx`, so I listen on webcast. Unseems
stereo this time; lots of familiar tunes making one wonder how
limited the repertoire be of TOITO. May be playing old recordings
originally mono. Also unusually no announcements by Bob Heil until
2357.

And by 0159 UT May 26, WTWW-1 is OFF both 9475 and 5830 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15760, May 26 after 1600 and 1700, no signal from WHRI.
Figured, as did EiBi, that the Indy 500 carace, a dangerous exercise
in futility, would be carried again this year, especially since 15760
is A-19 registered available to WHRI all day, 250 kW at 315 degrees,
but I think has not been in daily use. Still not (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7840, May 26 at 0602, JBA carrier. Matches another on
3920, maybe a ham and her harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
