** U S A. Pre-AAAWWW chex of WBCQs, May 30 at 2344, into NH SDR: 3265
off. 5130 JBV carrier jumping between -50/-100 Hz, possibly exciter
only? 6160 also trace of something. 7490 -76 Hz S9/+10 with FKB. 9330
S7/S9 WLCR with RTTYditty on 9332.0. At *2355 as usual 5130 -85 Hz =
5129.915 cuts on with IS & ID loop. 2358, 6160 -72 Hz = 6159.928 now
on at full strength with music but from 0000 dead air. UT Sat May 31
at 0000, WTO theme and `AAAWWW` starts, first over-exclamation, ``Hey,
get flushin```. Could not copy the single word later. 0004 A&A are
again in same studio, Florida. Reminds Jason back in ME to be sure
they are on ``all`` frequencies and streaming -- but *still* not on
3265, or 6160, only 5130, 7490, 9330. Says admin is giving the country
an enema -- you know what that means. Politically charged environment
not just in USA but everywhere. 0011 accuses Harvard of anti-Semitism.
Declares there are only two sexes as a god ordained for mammals like
us. 0028 gospel? tune. 0033 reading article about plans to resume SW
in PNG. 0034 check, 6160 is still dead air! and 3265 is still off.
0035 endorses T`s attempt to kill VOA, NPR, PBS since they have become
``a little bit communistic`` - Enough of that for a while. 0050
laments that southern Maine is run by communistic democratic Moonbats,
unlike the good people in northern Maine. Also condemns AOC, Pelosi,
Schumer, why keep voting them in? 0052 items from new FRW just
published including some from gh but never credited and does not do
them justice. 0057 some other email. 0058 prayer. 0059 my internet
connexion is lost, tsk; but back in a few minutes It was too late to
bother tuning in SW direct. For more rational political coverage
during the same original AAAWWW hour, may I recommend `All In` on
MSNBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, May 30 at 0621, S7/S9 of dead air still from R.
Vanuatu. Other reports:

``Checking 9960 sporadically this evening (about 0310-0550Z 5/30) via
the northern NZ SDR, there's been a carrier on throughout, much weaker
than the past week), but no audio (Chuck Albertson, Seattle, Wash.)``

``0631, 9960 just the carrier of -69dbm in Townsville Australia`` -
Zach Liangas

``Hi Glenn - May 30, at 1805 UT, on 9960 kHz is still just an open
carrier with no modulation (no audio). Ron`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1690, May 30 at 0638-0640+ UT, very strange sound like a
reel-to-reel tape fast forwarding or rewinding across the heads. Not
adjacent QRM. Mixed with another station in normal English talk. The
three closest 1690s normally heard are: WVON Chicago, WMLB Atlanta,
KDMT Denver; all of them licensed to a suburb, why? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9339.57, May 30 at 0626, S5/S6 carrier, suspect spur
from WLCR/WBCQ 9330 but it`s only S8/S9, no modulation audible and no
match on the minus side. Previously caught them May 18 with a spur on
9346.04 which did modmatch 9330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, May 29 at 0547, JBA carrier, so R Vanuatu is back on
air; on indoor random wire during lightning storm. However, Ron Howard
reports:

``May 29 (Thursday UT) am hearing Radio Vanuatu on 9960, BUT is only
with a strong open carrier, with no modulation (no audio!) from 0600+
via SDR remote in NZ. Again have notified the station. Radio Vanuatu
on 9960, at 0658* UT cut off the air; switched to 3945, but again only
with an open carrier with no audio. At 0820 UT, Radio Vanuatu on 3945,
is still just an open carrier with no audio. Radio Vanuatu (3945)
continues with just an open carrier (dead air) at 0920 UT.
Ron, Monterey, Calif`` - and Zacharias Liangas: ``1035z with only
carrier`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2297)

UNIDENTIFIED. Another reply about this: ``Glenn, When I see the
carrier on 6938, it is almost always accompanied what I call “the
ladder” that stretches from a hair over 6942.5 to about 6946. Although
I have recorded hours of broadcasting on 43 meters, and check 6938
regularly, including using USB, I have never seen or heard any audio.

In this shot at around 0145 on 26 May, the 6938 signal is about 30 dB
above the background noise — plenty for something to be heard or seen
on the waterfall if there were something to see or hear. The yellow
band is the bandwidth (1350 Hertz) of the receiver tuned to 6938.000.

(shortwave from the VOA) is over. All PSC are fired. A manager is on
his way to Kuwait to oversee the shutdown of that station and as I
understand it de-commissioning. There will be some folks left to
oversee the shutdown of Greenville. What has happened is, in Trump`s
