** U S A. 750, April 16 at 0625 UT, into E/W longwire, something in
Spanish QRMing WSB at about equal level, praise music and brief
comments, seems to include an English word in non-IDs. This is
definitely something odd, not normally heard at all. I eliminate WSB
by aiming the DX-398 N/S, and keep listening. 0627 talk about
matrimonio. Mentions ``buenas nuevas`` which has always seemed to me a
too literal translation of ``good news``. What is a ``nueva``, anyway,
as opposed to a noticia? 0633 singing ID as ``Radio My Praise``? Not
sure of key word. 0642, ``My Bread``? ``Música con mensajes``. Strong
and hardly fades at all, indicating proximity, not Mex or LA. Dozed
off and missed ToH ID 0700 if any; still going at 0707.

Later checking NRC AM Log, it`s obviously KMMJ, Grand Island,
Nebraska, of the group named ``My Bridge``! One of those rare AM
stations with a limited-time license, L1, neither daytimer nor
fulltimer, but depends on LSR and LSS at WSB Atlanta. That certainly
does not include the middle of the night!! Power 10500 watts. Of
course they have mere FM translators where 24h is legal: per
radio-locator, K260AF, 99.9 in Kearney, K284DC, 104.7 Grand Island.
There are no others beyond these 3 in the MyBridge group, per NRC.

Has broad pattern favoring SW, bit of notch toward WSB.
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KMMJ&service=AM
A.k.a. ``Mi Puente`` but what I`ve been hearing sounds more like
Bridge. HQ is in Aurora, or Lincoln NE, see https://es.mybridgeradio.net/

** U S A. 880, April 16 at 0644 UT, brief tunearound during 750 KMMJ
monitoring finds another Spanish here making low SAH with KRVN,
``Radio Visión Latina``. None such in NRC AM Log, but previously
identified as KJOZ Conroe TX, which made a big deal of adding AM 880
to 106.1 FM, in Houston:
https://www.instagram.com/radiovisionlatinatx/reel/C7RzTLGPIf8/
It`s U4 10/1 kW. WTFDA FMDB shows 106.1 is a mere translator, K291CE
in Houston, licensed for 28 watts but outputting 900 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1650, April 16 at 0618 UT, continuous tone matching keyboard

Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9936.00, Apr 16 at 0606, open carrier but with clix
every 3 seconds, sometimes with some others between. Clix detectable
out to 9917/9951, and probably a bit further if it were not for STANAG

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5890, Tue Apr 15 at 0645, WWCR contrary to
own sked is on this weeknight with TOMBS, who admitted long ago
whenever this was taped in his pre-death era, that he has ``nothing
new to say`` -- I`ll say!!  Since DGS is also on 5935 WWCR, they join
to produce the leapfrog mixing product on 5980. TOMBS also on 5850
WRMI, not //, at least far out of synch as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK,

CQ10. QRZ.com: ``VK2CR Australia flag Australia, Peter Richard Thomas,
Sydney, Australia, QSL: SORRY I DONT QSL`` - wow, what a rare
admission. Also had a ZL? Ross on 28496 USB at 2223. This is a good
time of day for 10m DX from both sides of Pacific, see also CHILE;
sometimes also Japan. Not much on the beacon sub-band except Belize,
and most of North America is too close for F2 skip (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4985, April 14 at 0515, JBA carrier, implying RBC back on
air; a stronger signal on 11815, S9+10, maybe in Portuguese. But 11815
at this time could also be Vatican, Taiwan or ChiCom jamming. Around
0600 checked Brasil remote but nothing on 4985. Also at 1925 into
Goiânia SDR, nothing on 4985 or 11815. Check further, anyway. As of

Apr 14 at 2200, token English from SNR on all four transmitters. The
15s are SSOB direct, vs 15770 WRMI only S9+10, and hardly anything
else from Europe. Preview topic about Don Quixote inspiring an
American writer about society, civilisation about to collapse. News
leads with American Treasury Secretary visit; NYC helicopter company
shutting down after disaster killing Spaniard visitors; Mario Vargas
Llosa died; Easter/holy week is underway. 2206 report from Beirut
correspondent about Apr 13 being the 50th anniversary of start of
Lebanon civil war, PLO vs Phalangists, 150K killed. 2210 interview
with American author of `Don Bigote`, inspired by Cervantes` `Don
Quixote de la Mancha`. Bigote = moustache (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9875.018+, Sun Apr 13 at 2049, VOT S9+20/25 off the back
into UTwente, `Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`, music; 2101
``always-by-your-side`` promo, 2106 finally `Letterbox` starts. 1)
Francis, Ireland wants QSL, also sent two more reports to German dept.
2) Anatoly Klepov, Moscow. 3) phone call from Ricky Hein, South Dakota
reporting 7275 and 11785 with very poor reception on both. 4) Jayanta
Chakroborty, India, gets 7275 better than 6165, reverse of aiming. 5)
last: Siddartha Para--??, question about theatres in T. `Twelve Angry
Men` based on the American novel about a jury, is currently a big hit.
Is World Theatre Day March 27 celebrated in Turkey? Yes. 2116 closing
with A25 QSY reminder, no details, contact info, 2117 closing song
within L`box. There are a handful of `regular` listeners called over &
over in L`box. Now I don`t have to get it a sesquihour later on
11785.004+, but quick check confirms it`s not off the air today,
S9+45/50 into UTwente at 2211; 2255 recheck IS, 2256 pause, restart
IS, and German IDs. 2300 5+1 timesignal, s/on extraneous German.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; but off by next check 2305
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9770, Apr 14 at 0526, ME music, S9+20/30, the SSOB except
for WBCQ 9330. Change to another tune 0529 past 0530. It`s VOT Turkish
at 0400-0555, 310 degrees from Emirler for W Europe, and here we are
directly beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 14 at 2159 no signal direct from VOT English,
nor on 9875; nor on spot chex later in hour, but did not get around to
trying UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2290 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 13 at 2000 on WRN Europe stream.

Missed checking Sun Apr 13 at 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975;
anyone?

Confirmed Sunday April 13 at 2330 on unlisted WRMI 9455, S9+35/40 into
Georgia SDR // much weaker S7/S9 7780 - and again NOT on the listed
7570 which is again in TOMBS. 9455, like 5850, is aimed due NW 315
degrees, so VG here and should be in much of N America. However OTH
radar is JBA underneath, and ranges about 9450-9470,

Also confirmed UT Monday April 14 at 0039 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S9/+10 into Georgia SDR, and not on any other WRMIs.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 14 from 0259 on Area 51 webcast, while
WBCQ 5130- switches to music postlude to JL after a word or two from
me opening.

Also confirmed Monday April 14 at 1930 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.002-, S9+5/15 into UTwente with RTTYditty ACI de 6164, evitable
by narrowing BW below 8 kHz; also slight intermittent CCI under,
2-way. This time 6160 is running a couple words behind 3975; separate
playouts? Or SDR delays.

Also confirmed Monday April 14 at 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002,
S9+10/15, no QRM. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;

** U S A. 15555 USB, Apr 14 at 1521, WJHR with gospel huxter, what
else?, peaking S8, the SSOB! Quite an achievement for this
underpowered station in FL. Operates daytime only; for several days
never hit it on random bandscans, was off? Maybe sporadic-E
enhancement now; 15770 WRMI manages only S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Apr 14 at 0527, JBA carrier already from R Vanuatu
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. It`s been months since I have logged a bunch of JBA
trans-Atlantic MW carriers - mainly due to my horrible local line
noise level in Enid. But occasionally I do still perform a 9/kHz
bandscan after local sunset, before or near European sunrise, such as
on April 14, and was pleased to detect them into the R75, both on the

I suspect there were some sunrise-skip enhancement as today`s SR in
Lugo, Galicia, NW corner of Spain, was 0550 UT. Of the multi-sites
applying on each frequency, I bet I was mainly hearing those in the
NW, lucking into a sweet spot. I also checked low end of the band, but
nothing on frequencies like 684, 774, 855 which used to be easier,
with higher-powered synchros. Suspect many of them have been
downgraded or even terminated. Of course high-enders would propagate
longer than low-enders. Also happened to be very little spring storm
noise in North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
