** BRAZIL. 11780, April 3 at 0148, RNA with hyperenthusiastic coverage
of a stupid ballgame; don`t hear any crowd noise, so is this live or a
recap. Rather late at night to be live. Keeps mentioning Botafogo,
which is the big ``fireboot`` Rio soccer team. This keeps going past
0200 instead of new token English/Spanish 0150-0200 which we did hear
the previous two nights. So now we know how serious they were about
that!

Richard Langley also reports: ``Based on a few words I
heard/translated, perhaps it was Chile's Universidad de Chile against
Brazil's Botafogo at National Stadium in Santiago, Chile for a Copa
Libertadores Group A soccer match. And off at 0208 UT. Too bad if you
wanted to listen to the whole game on SW`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2289)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17735, April 3 at 1447, JBA carrier is OOFSOB. EiBi
shows CRI Mandarin to Europe via Kashgar. 15590, April 3 at 1454, CRI
English via Urumqi discussing blueberry mania, S9+15/20 the SSOB
except for 15150 WMLK. From the land of imperialist ChiCom cultural
genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.1, April 3 around 1935 UT, listening to some $ tereo
music while dozing, Christian but tolerably instrumental, until DJ
says he is from WOFM in Canton - something ?? The real WOFM is on 89.1
but in Alcoa TN with Air 1, no known connexion to Oasis Network
originating with KNYD 90.5 Tulsa, here via Enid translator K206CA.
This local quality signal was surely not DX from TN altho possible by
Es if K206CA were off. There is also a Canton in OK with no stations
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, April 3 at 2130 check, RNE 15500 for NAm is still
OFF, but 15390 for Af is back on JBA; 17715 SAm and 15520 ME are
sufficient but no English on Thursdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2288 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday April 3 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+10/25 with storm crashes
into Georgia SDR; preceded at 0128 by mentions of R. República,
drumming, extraneous? RR not really scheduled then. Also some
intermittent CCI, maybe from SDR overload.

Financial support appreciated for our non-commercial public
service program: thanks for a contribution via check on a US bank from
Moises Corilloclla, Rego Park NY, to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid
OK 73702, and says, ``Hello, Glenn, I wanted to thank you for the nice
mentions on your recent World of Radio programs, and I look forward to
bringing new or interesting things that I may find while scanning the
bands (altho that is quite small considering the years you have been
DXing). I plan to visit Peru this year as well, and I hope I can
provide a bandscan of other areas or cities, if I happen to travel
around. Wish you the best, Moises Corilloclla``

** U S A. 7780, April 3 at 0632, this WRMI-13 is OFF. and at 0635, so
is 5010 WRMI-14. All others nominal. These would both normally be on
TOMBS at this hour: tech problems, or reduxion in TOMBS $ $ /hours?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2289)

** U S A. 15134, 15138, 15142, 15146; 15154, 15158, 15162, 15166,
April 3 at 1448, galaxy of spurs every ~4 kHz above and below 15150
WMLK, S9+25/35 with Yahweh stuff. They cut on and off with modulation
peaks, JBA at the edges but quite strong closest to 15150. Something`s
very busted at Bethel`s new 300 kW transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 2289)

** U S A. 4840, April 3 at 0635, this WWCR-3 is unusually OFF, due to
storms? However, at 0633, 5890 is on with TOMBS despite it being a
weekday, // 5850 WRMI, singing ``Marching to Zion``. 5890 shows up
occasionally on `wrong` overnights.

Then day frequency of WWCR-3, 13845 is also OFF at 1457, still off
past 1500 and 1615, while 9980 & 12160 are blasting in. By 1831, 13845
still off, 9980 also off as scheduled, leaving only 12160 on. Since
WWCR-1 service was discontinued voluntarily, if that transmitter and
antenna still be funxional, why couldn`t they apply those to the
WWCR-3 13845/4840 schedule?

April 3 at 1446, Ron Trotto-WDX4KWI, Virden, Illinois, reported, ``I
noticed last night WWCR was off the air on all frequencies around 0530
UT. I checked 650 WSM they were on and off. Wondering if everyone is
OK in the Nashville area of Tenn`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2289)

** U S A. 9930, April 3 at 1832, WTWW is on but only S7/S9 instead of
usual blasting. Propagation? Altho 12160 WWCR is blasting, other 9 MHz
UStations are also very weak to JBA carriers, 9395, 9330, 9265 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA [and non]. 60 meter band vacant! of any SW broadcasters,
beyond WWV, April 3 at 0635, NO: 4840 WWCR, NO Estacion 4940, NO 5010
WRMI, NO 5025 CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15470, April 3 at 1452, S5/S7 of dead air, off by 1458.
Nothing listed for A25 now in Aoki but EiBi & HFCC have only IRAN in
Dari at 0920-1250. IRIB has been reported elsewhen with dead air

segment, S9/+10 into Georgia SDR, part 2 of last night`s interview

& 11780, ref to web and MW 980 and off* by 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

= Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 9605-9610-9615, April 2 at 0607, DRM noise at S9+25. HFCC
shows irregular from TDF ISS, two different entries at 06-07, both

kW, 280 degrees for CIRAF 27W = British Isles; and 100 kW, 232 degrees

is off the air in downtown Enid; carrier was still running as of a few
days ago, more than 3 months after Xmas with music to accompany OG&E`s
`tree of lights` just north of the Garfield County courthouse. Now the
coast is clear for CP of KOKJ-LP on 95.1, altho I have not heard
anything from the guy behind it as to progress. If, that is, the other
95.1, stay gone (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500 & 15390, April 2 at 2159, again today, 50% of REE
transmitters are missing; but 17715 for S America is VG direct,
S9+10/20 but seems slightly overmodulatedistorted, better than 15520
for ME at S8/9+10. Again opens with A25 overall sked but no language
details. 2202 preview feature something about Extremadura. 2203 news
opens with EU reaxion to Drumpf tariffs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

until 2234 April 1, S9+5/10 into Maryland SDR, with feature voiced by
Efsun the axentuated. Considerably weaker than 11780 Brasil, S9+10/25

S9+10/12 direct vs S8/9 noise level, unlistenable. At 2241 into
