** CUBA [and non]. 1040 kHz, April 13 at 0658 UT, wobbler under WHO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, April 13 at 1453, JBM music at S5/S7, one of last
remaining RHC transmitters, but useless (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15590, April 13 at 1455, CRI English at S7/S9, the
SSOB by far, from Urumqi, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MARTINIQUE [and non]. Exactly the same log as on Tuesday March 4 at
0729, here with current S, date and time plugged in:

4811.10, Sun April 13 at 0629, S9+15/20 clean AM open carrier only,
instead of the usual STANAG 4285 wideband noise from FUF,
Fort-de-France, which Klingenfuß 2022 listed on 4811.8. Default to
this? Normally blox Perú 4810, but not even a carrier from that heard
for some time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.006+, Apr 12 not checked until 2234, VOT English from
2200 not off the air, S9+30/40 into UTwente amid music; 2238 some
feature with an unfamiliar theme, voiced by Efsun the axentuated, so
naturally I could not understand the title, but refers to ``rich
cultural heritage``. Recheck 2256 already off the air, failing to air
German IDs, let alone an extraneous German service from 2300.
Something`s not erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 365 MCW kHz, April 13 at 0635 UT, AA, 100-watt NDB ``Kenie``
of Fargo ND, site in MN. Seldom heard. Also with CCI from another
seems like 3 letters. RNA list shows others in USA: DPY WA, DYB SC, FT
TX, JA MS, JN IN, SYZ IL, TV MI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 385 MCW kHz, April 13 at 0640 UT, HO, 50-watt NDB at HOt
Springs AR, seems mixing with else. Axually copied tuned to 383 USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

April 12 at 1930 on WRN North America stream; and at 2000 on WRN
Europe stream.

Confirmed Saturday April 12 starting at 2017.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,

Doonesbury Censored by CNHI Newspapers

It was censored once each in Jan and Feb, but resumed. Missing again
Apr 12-13 from the Enid News & Eagle without explanation, replaced by
Pickles, until I searched out this online. The trouble is, even this
is behind a paywall:

``In Our Opinion: Decision to pull Doonesbury was not taken lightly
Earlier this month CNHI made the decision to permanently remove
Doonesbury from our newspaper, as well as from all CNHI-owned
publications. In...``

Here`s one place it still appears 4/13:

https://santamariatimes.com/opinion/editorial/sunday-doonesbury/article_846ede22-c8a7-4c0e-bf95-37ae6c1ad9dd.html

Also it`s still here - displaying current strip for 4/13:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/doonesbury/
Wikipedia needs some updating. It seems the daily strips are oldies,
which we have not been seeing anyway, only the Sunday/weekends
newbies.

This and hundreds of other comix are available here, latest free or by

Later I got reached this from CNHI in justification:

From now and for an unknowntime, at least for 3 years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs forDXing. Recently we moved from the village back to the city in a space thatprohibits the use of desktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise inthe LMHF bands. The radio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we runpolitically lively condition with always very interesting twits every day ..

Subject: Remote log of Voice of Indonesia (4755 kHz.)

INDONESIA. 4755, Voice of Indonesia (Channel One), via Cimanggis/Jakarta, at
1003 UT, April 2, via Kiwi SDR remote at
Jakarta; VOI English hour with the news (list of aid being sent to Myanmar
after the 7.7 earthquake, etc.; news story

https://english.news.cn/20250402/11a67830bca04e0baf581567df0d3e34/c.html

[April 2])

1010-1012: "Commentary," about "Homecoming" (millions of Indonesians will
travel back to their hometowns for the Eid
al-Fitr celebrations at the end of Ramadan, a tradition known as "mudik,"
with authorities anticipating a massive exodus).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudik
- ". . . According to Indonesian
National Police brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, 2024 Mudik season
has reached record of 193 million peoples who participate in this exodus cycle. . ."

1012-1027: Only pop songs and IDs (definitely a change of format from their
past feature of "Today in History," which I miss!).

1027: "Let's speak Bahasa Indonesia" unusually very brief spot; not their
normal extensive feature; followed by pop song.

1032: "Indonesian Wonders" (item about tourism); followed by pop song.

Checking various remotes, find no trace of the now long standing silent //
VOI on 3325, via Palangkaraya.
