** COLOMBIA. 4940, May 3 at 0603, song at S9, stronger than usual
direct, often JBA, the still fuzzy outlet which runs all night and
presumably all day with good signals into Bonaire remote, from Maicao
for Venezuela, known as La Montaña, or Montana, or Fuerza de Paz as
the ministry website programming source succeeding the 5910 & 6010
stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, May 3 at 0559, RHC English is off; 6060 and 6000 and
5040 are also off now, so the final English hour or fraxion gets only
one frequency and a bad one: 6100 is S9+30 with humbuzz like used to
be on 6060, likely same transmitter moved. Something`s always wrong at
RHC.

Note: Richard Langley heard RHC say on UT May 2 that their English
broadcasts are now two hours long instead of just one repeating over
and over in our evenings, perhaps due to their 60th anniversary, but a
permanent change? Years ago they were more than one hour long. But
what about the single-hour blox at 1900 & 2300? Expanded plus or
minus? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, May 3 at 1948, RHC 1900 English is here, S9+10/20 but
undermodulated, while scheduled 15140 is absent. Maybe make-do while
the other transmitter be down? You never know what RHC will do next.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 11710, May 3 after 0600, stilted French from VOK now
propagating fairly; one wonders if their announcers had book-larnin`
only. Aoki/NDXC does not show this broadcast, but WRTH B-20 sked
showed French at 06-07 on 11735, 13760 and 15180 for Latin America,
even tho it`s the middle of the night in Guiana French and the
Windward & Leeward Islands! BTW, Martinique is Windward, Guadeloupe is
Leeward.

EiBi shows instead CRI in Mandarin to SE Asia this hour on 11710, but
no sign of that here. The Bulgarian DX Blog sked for A-21 also shows
those three for VOK and not 11710. Same for Arnulf Piontek, Berlin,
who seems to have inside sources at VOK. So we have NEWS about a rare
change for VOK! Also a weak signal on 11680, which would be domestic
program (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 15125, May 3 at 1705, CRI scheduled in Swahili via Bamako,
but doesn`t sound much like Swahili, maybe corrupted by Chinese
accent. // 13645 listed is OFF. And so is 15125 at 1712*-*1722; all
talk instead of music I was seeking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 7168-LSB, May 3 at 0627, ZL4RMF, Dunedin,
audible but weaker than contact KN6GPR who says he visited Dunedin
last year but can`t remember how to pronounce it. Hint: it does not
refer to noisy sand.

ZL4RMF: Ron Falconer. See his antennas on a hilltop:
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/zl4rmf

KN6GPR: Lynden L Williams, Tehachapi, CA 93561-5431 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, May 3 at 0558, VON IS at S9+10/20, sporadically
active here again when it blasts into N America, presumably about to
start Hausa hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2084 monitoring: Re the Sat May 1
WOR scheduled on WRMI 15770 at 1300: ``as often, missed due to
sleeping the May 1 Sat 1300 on WRMI 15770, so hope to see some
confirmation of it later.``

``Hi Glenn, I was listening to this, it came on at 1300 but went off
after about a minute or so and it was then WRMI fill in music and
jingles till 1330 when SW Radiogram took over. Looked like some sort
of computer hitch which switched to the backup. Alan Gale``, UK, ptsw
iog

Since the UT Fri 0130 was replaced by something else, this means that
there were no airings of WOR on WRMI until Sunday 2300, three days
after produxion!

More encouragement to listen online, as a podcast ASAP, altho I try to
hold shortwave primary. Furthermore there are now no scheduled SWBCs
after Sunday night = early UT Monday --- until Wednesday:

** U S A. My first sporadic E FM DX opening of the season/year, May 2,
all times UT!! interrupts my listening to `Feminine Fusion` at
2105-2205 on 90.1 KUCO, on the DX-390. Normally the only weaker QRM is
KHCC Radio Kansas, Hutchinson, but:

2140, 90.1, ``South Carolina Public Radio``, could be program credit
on some other P.R. station; but has Es fading. With KUCO nulled as
much as possible I am also getting KHCC vs this one, KHCC with
`Thistle & Shamrock` which comes from NC, not SC. Also an NPR news
break which would not be during T&S. It so happens there are two SCPRs
on 90.1, Greenville in the NW corner and Conway in the E corner, as
researched later in the WTFDA FM Database, inserting those listings
with each possible log:

WHMC-FM 90.1 CONWAY SC NEWS/TALK SOUTH CAROLINA PUBLIC RADIO 63.0

RADIO 84.0 361.0 34-56-29 82-24-38 A6CF WEPR 90.1 SC Public Radio News
Music News [875 mi]

Most of our non-comm FM channels are blocked or semi-blocked, so I
hope the MUF is going above 92 and start hunting on the DX-398 I also
have at hand, with whip antenna only constantly being manipulated.
There are lots of OK & KS fringe stations on ``open`` channels which
have to be recognized, minimized or avoided.

As FM Es continues during the next hour, 22-23 UT, I also have to miss
`Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` on WBCQ with Mongolian throat-singing which
I was really looking forward to; and there is no way to hear it later
--- except the first half repeat Monday at 2300-2330.

2146: 92.1, C&W music, ID as ``--- 92``, Es fading; 2159 almost time
for ID when a YL gospel huxter overrides, but I do get a partial ID of
W,P,H at 2200, and Fox ``news``. 2202 the g.h. QRMer says it`s still
April as she starts preaching about Fools, especially males you may be
married to. The C&W one is certainly:

WPEH-FM 92.1 LOUISVILLE GA COUNTRY THE PEACH 6.0 91.0 33-00-48
82-23-33 // WPEH-1420 [908 mi]
as it`s the only 92.1 country in SC or GA. What about a nearby g.h.?
Maybe this, the only religious teaching in English on 92.1 in GA:

WHHR 92.1 VIENNA GA RELIGIOUS TEACHING FREEDOM RADIO FM 5.1 106.0
32-09-16 83-47-55 [856 mi]

2203: 93.1, YL in London sends her love; rocker? Have to watch out for
Pratt KS semi. Not the ESPN one below.

2205: 92.7, strong rock, soon fades. Only two full power in GA:

WKKZ 92.7 DUBLIN GA HOT AC 92.7 WKKZ 50.0 127.0 32-31-21 82-54-00
WSSI 92.7 DARIEN GA CLASSIC HITS 92.7 SSI 10.0 123.0 31-11-40 81-29-30
[892, 1003 mi]

2209: 90.3, finally one with RDS, which is pretty finicky even with
strong signals many of which do not employ it. The thing is, I get a
readout lock only when tuned to 90.2! between two Okies: UNIVERSITY /
SAVANNAH / WHCJ, and a jazz DJ:

WHCJ 90.3 SAVANNAH GA VARIETY THE VOICE OF SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY

2212: 93.1, plug ESPN podcasts, ESPN Radio, ESPN plus, ESPN daily. I
think it may be an ESPN affiliate. 2228: sports talk again with hum:

WWKM 93.1 ROCHELLE GA SPORTS MIDDLE GEORGIA'S ESPN 4.7 81.0 31-56-54
83-26-02 // WWKM 93.1, WXKO-1150 // W226BZ 103.1 [879 mi]

2217: 93.1, vs WWKM: ``E-93 FM.com`` promo, and for plasma; 2218 ``AT

2231: 93.7, music occasionally overrides KSPI Stillwater OK which is
in a live silly baseball game. With GA still the PTA, most likely
this, the only full power 93.7 rocker:

2234: 92.1, ad for wiregrass.edu, a tech school; 279-896-7679 maybe
for next ad, ``Talk 92.1``, so it`s this, as Adel is just N of I-75
from Wiregrass main campus Valdosta:

WDDQ interrupted by music in Spanish, probably already WJXR as below.

2237: 95.1, RDS with song titles, ``FRIEND / KELLY BL/ ACKBEAR``; 2239

I keep tuning until 2318 but the opening seems over. Finally checking
6M DXMAP at 2335, MUFs are just below 88 at 83, 84 MHz. But still at
0145 May 3, plenty of Es <88 MHz over E and W USA.

Note: I do not count stations, states, or anything, so whether or not
a log be 100% definite does not matter; I have merely done my best to
research available info, to report as fully as possible what happened

** CANADA. 244-MCW kHz, May 2 at 0552 UT, dash and TH, 1000-watt ND

from Enid.

Also two other Canadians, only Manitobans tonight; if any Canadian,
can make it best vs storm noise levels, it`s WG:

** CHINA [non]. 13645, May 2 at 1707, hilife music, S8 fading to S5.
It`s the Swahili hour of CRI via Bamako II, MALI; followed by another
hour in Hausa. Wonder if Swahili service be another one filled by
nothing but African music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 9615, May 2 at 1721, S5-S7 in Korean, then some English
so it`s a lesson including words muscle and coffee, bits of music. BBC

** U S A. 5970, May 2 at 0558, WEWN Spanish, RCM, is missing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12160, Sun May 2 at 1709, no signal from WWCR-2, altho the
other three are audible, the uppers with a bit of sporadic E: 15825,
13845 and 9980. 12160 is supposed to start at 1500 after 7490, which
is not on now either. 12050 WEWN is poorly audible at similar
megameter distance.

It so happens that per the April 1 program sked, Sun 17-18 on 12160 is
supposed to carry The Overcomer. I wonder if that have expired and so
turned off the transmitter rather than fill with something else.

Reminds me, I have been intending to quote the following, as all kinds
of contradictory info has been coming out about whether or how far in
advance TOM is paid up at various stations:

``[WOR] Glitch at WRMI? Apr 25 at 5:16 AM --- Both 5850 and 5950 had
dead air at 0507 tune in, but a few seconds later, there was an
announcement from the Overcomer Ministry that the programs were paid
up until October, and what happens after that is solely dependent on
funding. Dead air again at 0509 and still so at 0516 UTC. Dead air
continued until 0541:58 when Overcomer resumed. 73, Walt Salmaniw,
Victoria BC`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1948 UT May 2

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat May 1 at 1438, LRA36 is on and into
Brasil SDRs, one of them slightly noisier than another. First talking
about current events such as the Iran Nuclear Deal [should that be
capitalised?]. I`m busy with breakfast, etc., so not listening
continuously, but 1530 still there, S5 in Antártida song;
1538 IDs in 4 languages mentioning Base Esperanza. 1552 typical canned
ID, ``Nacional Antártida Argentina, La Radio Pública``. 1555.5 another
ID and at 16009. 1623 still on at S1-S3; 1650 comes in stronger,
music; 1658 eQSL info; sign-off Saturday broadcast, so this part is
not a Wednesday playback. Mentions being part of the Ministry of
Defense, i.e. military, not civilian as Wikipedia claims. 1700
Antártida song, now S5 and does not really close down yet. 1704 & 1708
other music 1732 ``sign-on`` again with Spanish, German, English,
Russian?/Korean? announcement. 1737 Antda. song again, email and FB,
frequencies 15476 and FM 96.7 at the base, max temp today 2C, couldn`t
catch the min. Off abruptly at 1740* and still of by 1744 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, May 1 at 0642, JBA carrier; not in a full 9
kHz bandscan which would now be too late for Eurafrica, and too early
for DU/FE, but just right for R. Kiribati some two hours after its
sunset. Distancefromto.net cannot handle computations from London,
Kiritimati, or Christmas Island, or Kiribati, instead leading to the
far western isles of Kiribati, to the UK or even Australia! My NGS
Globe when it was part of the Line Islands shows Xmas about 4500
statute miles from Enid or 3900 nautical miles, or 7250 km. I can`t
imagine this JBA carrier being anything else, save for some deliberate
spoiler on the same frequency closer such as Tucson in the same
direxion, which is 250 degrees, as I once confirmed but not lately. If
propagable, a spoiler from the exact opposite direxion would have to
be from Philadelphia to Western Sahara into central Nigeria (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11905, May 1 at 1839, anti-Christ pirate, Station
YHWH is JBA at W7RNA Phœnix remote, and at 1853 JBA carrier here, tnx
to tip from Rick Barton in AZ who was hearing him better at 1815. YHWH
has shown up before circa midday on various 25mb frequencies. Walt
Salmaniw says he was off by 1930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 1 at 2200, VOT English is on today vs RTTY. The
Kiwi at KB0FX escapes it by LSB tuning altho before on my own rigs the
RTTY has inevitably spanned both sides. Mostly music later in hour, IS
keeps going, 2259 ID in German, and the spurious German program keeps
going until someone wakes up and turns it off at 2319.8*. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2084 monitoring: as often, missed
due to sleeping the May 1 Sat 1300 on WRMI 15770, so hope to see some
confirmation of it later.

Confirmed Sat May 1 from 1800:38 on IRRS Bulgaria 7290 via UTwente
SDR, very strong and loud without much QRM. Also Challenger Radio on
new 918 kHz from Villa Estense, Italy, via the neighboring Noale SDR.
I was listening to both before 1800: at 1750. 918 in English about
ballet, steady S9+18; 7290 still weak Chinese. By 1757, 7290 open
carrier is on at S9+25. At 1759, 918 stops unknown program to play the
IRRS `Aïda` march theme with no upcut. 7290 JIPs it upcutting at
1759:47, quick IRRS sign-on, some pause and WOR from its start but not
synchronized via these two very different routes. Now it`s S9+25/35 on
7290 via UTwente. Ends properly before 1830.

Also confirmed Sat May 1 from 1949 tune-in until finished at 2002.8 on
WA0RCR, 1860-AM via KB0FX remote, S9+8. It was skipping frequently and
I hope this is an SDR defect, not that way out of Wentzville. Which
BTW must interrupt for own ID every dekaminute, and also removes my

** CHAD [and non]. 12050, April 30 at 2002, R. Ndarason International
in presumed Kanuri is almost as strong as RCM, WEWN in Spanish. Quite
a collision here making SAH of 1 Hz, but who cares? RNI is 152 degrees
from Woofferton while WEWN is 155 from Vandiver. IIRC, RNI used to be
via Ascension which may have been more of a problem in WEWN LAm target
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, April 30 at 2245, somepirate is already on
tho Mystery Pirate Radio has publicized another set of Voice of Pancho
Villa shows to start at 2300. This one is S3-S5 talking about standing
wave ratio, music. 2256 DJ likes Patsy Cline and plays her greatest
hit; 2259 ``Big John``, 2303 pause, off? No, back with ``Hello, Emmy
Lou``. 2305 ``You are listening to ---`` but I can`t copy the name.

At 2314 I switch from own R75 to NA5B remote in MD, where this is
S8-S9 with songs; 2317 ``Wheels``, Zeke ID. Says he and wife have both
been shot and won`t wear masks going out to eat. Nothing digital ready
to play? 2318 Zekey`s Attic [Zichi?] is ``relinquishing frequency`` to
another pirate, steady noise but not SSTV, and off*. More:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, April 30 at *2320, Mystery Pirate Radio
comes on late after Zekey finished. E mail address. Voice of Pancho
Villa theme, S6-S7, signature wild laughter and exaggerated
Mexi-accent (I hope the XEs are not offended?) Immediately starts
invoking a ``Glenn Hauser`` character, 1-900-PAYGLENN. Audio is rather
distorted. Glenn is a girl? 2327 1-800-PAYGLENN [Note: PHONY]. IDs in
real Spanish between segments; at 2342 says 1998 follows, skit about
Clinton and Lewinsky. 2349, year 2000: Tom Kneitel can`t be here,
because ---. 2354, year 2001(?), this segment with QRM, co-channel
talk about something else: another pirate or produxion mixture?

UT May 1, continuing, 0000 the VPV from 2002y, CCI gone. Stuff I have
heard before and reported anyway in too much detail. Now I am
distracted by AAAWWW panned to one ear and MPR/VPV to the other. See
USA: WBCQ. 0016 MPR address; 0019 it`s off after just about one hour
from late start. Many more reports here:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925V-AM, May 1 at *0035 another pirate carrier
comes on same frequency still tuned via NA5B remote for Mystery until
0019*. 0037 starts rock music, but distorted; carrier is wobbling
severely, unlistenable in SSB mode. SAM carrier offset jumps around
plus 74/63/42 Hz within a few seconds. 0040 DJ about it being Friday
night, ``Light My Fire``. 0045 ID sounds like ``Ambient? Radio, 6925``
0054 acknowledging listeners in PA, KY, Indonesia. 0100 ``Million
Dollar Weekend Show``, refers to listeners on HFU. These say it`s Yeah
Man Radio:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, May 1 at 0100, Mystery Pirate Radio is
supposed to repeat the Voice of Pancho Villa show via a station in the
West, while 6925-USB earlier was from the East. So now I bring up a
northern Utah remote, but accidentally in LSB so hear only traces at
first. 0106 in USB there it is underway, S9+10/15 referring to
Oklahoma, sounds like Beevis & Butthead about visiting ``gh``, but
then it`s a YL knocking on his door. Another episode I`ve heard
before. 0109 Spanish intro as one for 1996y to follow. 0112 back to
own R75 where it`s S9+10, (and no 6925). VPV still audible past 0131.
I`m adding all these refs to HFU only uplooked after my own writing:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat May 1 at 0112 S9/+10 music, no doubt
Ball Smacker Radio on its regular schedule. Too much going on at same
time so not pursued further this week. More, agree:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81009.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.9-AM, May 1 at 0113, S7-S8 of undermodulated
music, no doubt Nowhere Radio as heard several times before on this
almost-exact frequency. More here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81001.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6952-USB, May 1 at 0131, yet another pirate is on
tonight, S9 music; something about a tree house in the state of
Washington? and ``Pooh-bah Radio`` (?); ``Sound of Silence``.
Intermittent buzz as if wiggling patchcord. 0147 mentions QSL, more
music. Many reports here of FUBAR Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81019.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, May 1 at 0203 pirate music, 0204 repeating
8-note plus drum interval? signal. That`s the *Eighth* pirate tonight,
and at 0205 four of them are on at once; enough! 6933, 6952, 6960 and
6974.9. A final quick check of 4+ and 5+ MHz finds none in those
areas, not even Guatemala. These say it`s Voice of Communism from the
``Soviet Union`` for May Day:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81019.0.html
But I QRT before hearing any more of it. Besides all this I have been
trying to get one or two TV programs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 30 at 2005, zero signal from REE North American
frequency; suspect it`s off and so do those further east. 15520 is a
JBA carrier.

11940, April 30 after 2200, the Friday token English broadcast is
fairly audible here on SAm frequency, devoted to history of Spain
after WWII especially about US military and NATO relations, and how
things have changed post-fascism with death of Franco in 1975*?
Well-produced including music bits and clips, the first I heard
sounded like HST (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 30 at 2245, VOT 2200- English is on today, good
S9/+10 with music, no RTTY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2083 monitoring: Richard Lemke,
Alberta, confirms Wed April 28 at 1030 on WRMI 5850.

WORLD OF RADIO 2084 monitoring: just two days ago, IRRS via Challenger
Radio, Villa Estense, Italy, replaced 594 with 918 kHz, escaping the
595v Morocco het; including three WOR broadcasts, starting with Friday
2030 UT as of April 30. So I`m checking how it worx via Euremotes.
First the near-local Noale: tune in at 2022, JBA carrier at best! But
was something else or exciter, as pops on air at *2023, now steady
S9+18 with music.

2027 ID as WUSB, timecheck as 6:00, and `Off the Wall`, but then more
music, sounds like xylophone vamping. WUSB is 90.1 in Stony Brook LINY
where OTH is sked Tuesdays at that EDT. OTH is or was also on WBAI
99.5 NYC 25 hours later. It`s about hacking. NOT mentioned on IRRS
schedule for Fri 22:00 MESZ, just `world news`. WOR does show at 22:30
on the sked and as monitored after IRRS ID giving the PO Box in Milano
for reports, despite current e-mail advisories that they only accept
email!

Meanwhile I have been checking some other remotes: in quite well at
UTwente, S9+15 atop lite QRM perhaps Spain. Not making it to Arctic
Norway, JBA in southern Sweden. At Barcelona poorly audible but mixing
with Spanish, presumably the 20 kW in Madrid. Recheck Noale after
2100, 918 still on with music until 2111.5* UT cutoff, by a timer? No
sign of off-frequency 917 Nigerian. Next:

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat May 1 from 0000, WBCQ webcast never even
checking SW, `AAAWWW` again live from Florida where it was 95 degrees
today so of course Angela is half-naked [? why not fully naked; this
is *radio; he could even tell us she is fully dressed and we would
have to believe it]. My attention is split with more than one real
pirate during same hour; see NORTH AMERICA.

Allan starts off trashing Tim Tron, a ``lazy bastard`` who apparently
hasn`t been to Monticello lately, and as the elder engineer cannot be
replaced. Long discussion of COVID; Allan says ``get the bloody
shots!`` OTOH, A&A think masks are useless since the viri are measured
in microns. 0048 plays an old clip from Paul Harvey lauding policemen.
[IIRC his father was one.] 0055 Allan says he convinced Angela to get
vaccinated, ending her holdout. Usual bits of email, prayer and out.
Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on both 6160 and 7490 with 7490
having the better signal again. Allan in the studio in a very warm Fla
with a half naked Angela. Opening comments about how hard it is to
keep the station running and Allan is upset with the aging staff,
especially TimTron who hasn't been to the station much of late. Allan
stated that there was no retirement in radio and no money in radio
anymore.

Angela starts an Angela's Angle complaining about people walking
outside alone while wearing a mask or driving a car while wearing a
mask. Most of her Angle was Covid related but did move to diet saying
that people should eat less meat and drink more water.

Phone call at 0042 from Tony Straka for a bit. After the call Allan
plays a snippet of tape from an old Paul Harvey program concerning the
police. Reading some emails at 0057 then Angela wishes that Trump
could come back immediately to save the country and stop what Biden
has started. Closing prayer at 0059. Off the air at 0100 and
immediately into Hal Turner. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, April 30 at 0616, RV, 3 x 3945, is S3-S7, song
sounds like ``Be Happy``, Bislama talk, more music. 7890 = 2 x 3945 a
JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
