 ** BRAZIL [non]. 9665v, June 15 circa 0630, NO signal from RVM. If anything beyond USA be audible on 31m this hour, it`s normally RVM. Suspect it be off. At 1442, JBA carrier, likely CHINA, CNR5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE [non]. See USA: WRMI 9955 ** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. RF 27.5, KAUT ``43`` OKC, screenshot of the CW colorbars they broadcast for a quarter-hour at 2330 UT June 14, as in last report under OKLAHOMA: https://www.w4uvh.net/KAUT_CW_CB.jpg Google: ``The network's name is derived from the first letters of the names of its two founding co-owners CBS Corporation and Warner Bros., with CBS Corporation being merged with the second iteration of Viacom to form ViacomCBS and Warner Bros. being owned by Time Warner, later AT&T's WarnerMedia.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.86 AM, June 15 at 2205, local Enid CB pirate finally heard again // relaying 105.5 K288FX, `K-Love` translator of KYLV 88.9 OKC, praise music. I`ve checked for this often, several times a week, last logged May 5. And like before, there are two more signals on other CB channels in //: 27164.5 stronger than 27184.86, S9+20 vs S9+10, absolutely steady groundwave, BUT modulation much louder on the upper one, so which is a spur? And a JBA much weaker in sig and mod on 27144.15, approx. The measurements match, about 20.35 kHz apart. Will be interesting if anyone ever DX this by skip vs CB pileups (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, June 15 at 1456, K17JN-D, the 3ABN satellator, only local TV signal in Enid, is definitely back on air now at usual sufficient strength on STB meter. And still misnames itself ``K17JI-D`` which is really in California! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** POLAND [non]. See USA: WRMI 9955. It would be nice if they happen to relay R. Poland ES at a more awake hour than 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 15 at 2210, NO signal direct from VOT English; nor even unto UTwente checked at 2210, nor on previous/possible accidental/alternates, 11795 or 9875. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday June 15 at 0400-0429 on WTWW, 5085, S9+5/15 into NH SDR and I am sure VG all over N America and beyond. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1454 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6159.001, S9/S7 and noisy into UTwente. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1600 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1730 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, both 6160+ and 3975+ into UTwente. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1930 on WRMI webcast only and WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1956 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+15 into nearby MO remote, about 6 minutes into, so the 1930v started about 1950. Next: 2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475; 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500]; 0930 UT Sunday IRRS 9510 [NEW]; 1902vUT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy [ex 2000]; 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. By MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9955, Sat June 15 at 0633, like last weekend, WRMI stays on here overnight, news in Spanish, from what? Last week I thought it were RAE relay since several news items about Argentina. This week I keep listening past 0700. M&W anchors speak very rapidly, and I do not detect an Argie or Castilian accent. Problem is Cuban pulse jamming almost as strong as this only fair signal direct. 0638 again items about Argentina. 0643 I thought they mentioned ``Radio Paz Internacional en Francia`` but not correct or at least not an ID. 0647 ``Radio Francia Internacional``; 0657 item about some Festival ``aquí en París``. 0659 another definite ID as R. Francia Internacional; pause, no WRMI ID, and like last week at 0700 starts ``Radio Poland External Service``, in English as on WRN sked, datestamped as ``Friday June 14``, so yesterday`s show. Time for me to quit/QRT. Note: RFI has not broadcast Spanish on SW for many years, but still as in WRTH 2005; in WRTH 2024 you would not even know they still have Spanish webcasts, but see this: https://www.rfi.fr/es/programas/ Probably same things on 9955 UT Sundays, but not on air this late weekdays. This is still not accounted for on the WRMI skedgrids. Xmtr 3 9955 shows TOMBS Sat & Sun at 04-11 UT. System B sked however now shows R. Francia Internacional daily at 1-2 am EDT = 0500-0600 UT, not 0600-0700, internet only except Sat & Sun also 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 15 at 0630, fourth night in a row, still no signal from R. Vanuatu; nor on 7890 in case it be on 3945 instead and resume harmonicizing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2247 UT June 15

 ** ANTARCTICA [non]. 15474.728, Fri June 14 at 1459 past 1500, JBA carrier at S4/S7 into LU5AGQ remote in Argentina, and no sign of LRA36 15475.98 RC USB if it`s still on as scheduled. The spoiler is UZBEKISTAN site with Furusato no Kaze for Korea North (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BARBADOS. 28436 USB, June 14 at 2203, 8P5KM, calling CQ Parx on the Air and working mostly UStations, and a ZL. Hard to copy his call correctly: penultimate letter fonetik sounded like sierra or zulu? must have been kilo as per dxheat contacts on same frequency; also uttering ``BB0013``. Neither SM nor ZM in QRZ.com, but 8P5KM is not either! QRZ.com of course is voluntary and unofficial but it`s rare to hear a station yet unfound there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, June 14 at 1450, both possible RHC frequencies are NOT on the air. Someething`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, June 13 at 1901 UT check on caradio, KIMY Watonga is *still* dead air in $ tereo, that is about 23 hours since I first noticed it June 12 at 2019. AND, **still** dead air in $ tereo June 14 at 1528, and 2052; and 2215 when I get RDS display of THE_____ / GOSPEL__ / STATION_. Of course I have not monitored constantly, but no reason to believe they were ever modulating for the last 51 hours at least and no telling how long before that. IMHO, a station so incompetent as to broadcast nothing for such a stretch deserves to have its license revoked, so something else can make better use of the spectrum! OTOH, the less gospel-huxtering on OUR AIR, the better. FYI, spelling $ tereo with a dollar sign has no financial implication, just a convention stemming from the late Bruce Elving`s FM Atlases, a single $ synbol in listings (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 27, 43-1, June 14 at 2330, KAUT supposed to be carrying NBC Nightly [sic] News, shunted from an hour earlier on its primary station KFOR with stupid ballgame preemption. Instead until 2336 we see color bars and a CW network feed with UT timer to the fraxion of a second abottom. 2336 briefly switches to KFOR slide, back to CW, and floating white square to prove it hasn`t frozen, Also labeled: Primary G19, Transponder 15, Service 1 Secondary G35, Transponder 20, Service 1 Along with tone. Still past 2344 with occasional interruptions. 2345 finally starts some sitcom, not any NBC NN, tsk2. First noted this on Optimum cable ch 2, then direct via antenna, KAUT`s primary RF channel is 19 but it`s one of few ATSC 3.0 stations, invisible here. Rabbitears.info shows orginary ATSC of KAUT is really RF 27.5 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, June 14 at 2200, token English from SNR, again MQ only, preview interview with editor of Madrid Review, and then some special event coming up on June 14; news, S9+30/40 direct, and the other three also audible, 17715, 15520, 15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 14 at 2159, VOT IS, S9+10 direct but too much noise. At 2236 into UTwente when measured, S9+25/35, music; 2237 `That`s Why` repeat on how a serpent became the symbol for medicine: wish I could follow what Ms Badax is trying to enunciate; 2244 music; 2248 ``Always-by-your-side`` promo; 2249 music; 2253 s/off by the OM ignoring SW; 2254.6 IS a couple times and off shortly before 2253* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed Friday June 14 at 2057 the 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz, S9+15 into nearby Noale SDR. Not confirmed Fri June 14 at 2057 the 2030 on WRMI webcast only as still on System B sked: music, instead. Confirmed Friday June 14 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, first SW broadcast, S9+10/20 direct but seems undermodulated; no jamming audible. Also confirmed Friday June 14 at 2232 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003, S9+5 into UTwente. WOR confirmed UT Friday June 14 2229-2234 on World FM mp3 stream, New Zealand, but I think it was old 2246 not 2247. Stations should hasten to get new WOR on air ASAP as there may be some perishable info. Next: 0400 UT Saturday WTWW 5085; 1430 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1730 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM [1900/2100]; 2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475; 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500]; 0930 UT Sunday IRRS 9510 [NEW]; 1902vUT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy [ex 2000]; 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. By MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3265.171, June 14 at 2348, this WBCQ is on for a change, S7/S8 into NH SDR with FKB preacher // 7489.929, S9+15. 5130 is still OFF. 6159.930 with another gospel huxter, S7/S9. 2359 Allan comes on, sounds like live for a change, then starts his WTO theme, for the 0000 UT Saturday June 15 broadcast of `AAAWWW`, after 7 weeks of reruns. I`m listening to 3265+. Sweetheart/Darlin`, is not to be heard at first from remote, fiddling with patch bay. Admits a while since a live shew, normal spring/summer hiatus, tremendously busy; his birthday 71 was June 12. ``The whole world is being rigged for World War III`` -- we can`t do this, got to stop it. Gotta get a landslide going, like in EU leaning more to ``common sense``. So it`s going to be all or mostly politix. By 0011 has drifted down to 3265.158. Credits Angela with ``saving my life``. *rump will keep America from going Communist. [yeah, right, rather Fascist]. As usual, Angela sounds even more radical as she yells over the phone, from Fla? WBCQ has a SW receiving-room, radios set up to feed into mixing board in case they have to relay something else with no other programming available. 0025 datestamp at 14 of June 2024, simulcasting on 3265 and 7490. Later he delusions that *rump back in the WH will call Putin and Zelenskiy and tell them to end the war; that`s that. ``Creatures like Biden and Trudeau are treasonous, communist bastards, must be removed``, he imagines. Joins Hal Turner a sesquiminute late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 96.7, June 14 at 1530 UT, ``Sports Radio 96.7 and 1310, The Ticket`` from DFW Metroplex market is strong enough briefly to unsee any $ tereo icon, i.e. talk format is in mono. FYI, $ tereo instead of mono automatically reduces the full-quieting coverage area of an FM station; by what percentage? This is 90/90 kW KTCK-FM. NOT flagged as Mono mode in WTFDA FM Database. Some talk stations stay in $ tereo anyway, since some receivers used to ignore mere mono stations; is this still a problem? And occasional $ tereo music in commercials, etc., really stands out. Lacking any sporadic E FM DX, also noticed in this caradio bandscan, June 14 at 1535 UT, the Bott station on 94.3 west of Wichita in Kansas is also in mono, i.e. KCVW 100/100 kW in Kingman, not flagged mono in WTFDA FMDB. Are all Bott FMs in mono? Need to check 95.1 KQCV 100/100 kW ``Shawnee`` = OKC. Searching Slogan field, there are 112 Bott hits in the DB, many of them translators, not a single one `mono` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 14 at 0648, NO signal from R. Vanuatu, third night in a row. What`s the problem now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0211 UT June 15

 ** OKLAHOMA. More about 50/50 kW from Tulsa on 1170: ``Following up on this thread, they announced a format change on June 26. KTSB will cease to exist after that; the new station will be KOTV AM. They haven`t announced the new format, but I suspect more right wing talk. I actually have enjoyed local sports for 6 hours a day here; I'll switch to KTBZ 1430 for my somewhat-local sports fix. 73 Chris KC5IIE Krug, Tulsa, OK`` (via Glenn Hauser, Enid, WORLD OF RADIO 2247)
** TURKEY. Re a VOT segment title, Bill Tilford replies: ``Actually, I think the English show is `Türkiye's Geomarked Products`. I have been doing a little reading and Türkiye has some place-of-origin authenticity procedures not that unlike some cheeses in France, for example`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2246 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: less choice to hear World of Radio on WRMI: 9395, 2330, only, start, lightning in area, close down, 2359, June 11 UTC 2024 [Tue] 9395, World of Radio not heard ?? looks like two frequencies are used at 0130, one I can hear is now canceled, 0159, June 13 UTC 2024 [Thu] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` NOT confirmed UT Thursday June 13 at 0145 the 0130 on WRMI 9395: music playing. Sked now shows a new 15-minute program has been stripped in at 0130, so the next quarter hour becomes music fill, not even a semi-WOR. NOT confirmed UT Thursday June 13 at 0145 the 0130 on WRMI 5010, since that is OFF the air, no signal into Bonaire or Georgia SDRs. WOR presumably still on sked there. Confirmed Thursday June 13 at 1646 the 1630 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.002, S7/S9 but noisy into UTwente. 1700 is nominal start of other frequency 3975: it`s already on at 1657 but musical prélude.

 ** AUSTRALIA. 28262 CW, June 12 at 2204, long dash and VK2RSY beacon, relog. WGB list: ``28262 VK2RSY - Sydney NSW AUS QF56mh - #0 (10 Jan 2024) Note: ID + grid + 30" carrier. Pwr 25w`` - really gets out. Otherwise had beacons from UT and CA, see USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, June 12 at 2019 UT, dead air in $ tereo, no doubt semi-local KIMY Watonga. RDS still displays statickly GOSPEL__ / STATION. Still dead at further chex past 2200. Std remark about how can a station expect to have any listeners if no one there even notices when it`s silent? Used to have a translator in Enid on 93.1 which added another level of unreliability (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, June 12 at 1510 UT and at random chex last few days, Enid`s only local TV signal, K17JN-D misidentifying as K17JI-D, is apparently off again. Now there is a BAD signal on RF 17, probably KTEN Ada, as area tropo is up. Or possibly K17JN-D is on but underpowered, and even more subject to DX QRM. It`s the 3ABN network satellator with multiple sub-channels, two or three of them AUDIO ONLY (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed June 12 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+20/30 direct, M. Quintana only, preview about Spain backing South Africa in ICOJ case against Israel. 2201.5 news starting with far-right gains in EU elexions including in Spain. Other three frequencies much weaker but audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 12 at 2159, VOT IS JBA direct vs S9 noise level. From 2225 I`m on UTwente where measured, S9+20/45, in music. 2228.5 `Sports Panorama` MEGO. 2233 songs only to 2253 s/off by OM unmentioning SW, into IS until 2254.5* chop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sporadic E MUF well into FM band today June 12 but none caught here in several afternoon bandscans. One patch was too close over NW OK/SW KS to be of any use here. At least managed some HF Es, 10m band beacons: 28300 at 2203, perennial high-power K6FRC in California. 28209+ at 2207, VVV VVV VVV DE K7EMX/B. WGB list: ``28209.5 K7EMX/B - Kearns UT DN39xp - #0 (06 Oct 2023) Note: ID + grid`` - Sounded closer to 28209 than 28210. QRZ.com: ``K7EMX USA flag USA, PAUL R LARSON, 5057 LOOMIS LN, KEARNS, UT 84118, USA`` If you have hours -- days? to spare, check out his HUGE illustrated page, stills and audiovideos with lots of humor, partly political: https://www.qrz.com/db/K7EMX Note especially this 31-minute YT about WBCQ and World`s Last Chance: https://www.youtube.com/embed/9dUaMXxWYao?rel=0 WWV also S9+20 on 25000 with 2210 announcement about ``this station``, WWVB being low-powered due to antenna damage; and pounding on 20000. Also had one from AUSTRALIA, q.v., F2 of course, but last hop maybe assisted by Es. Whenever checking out 10m I also try 26110 for the FM auxiliary of KOVR Stockton which used to be active around newstimes, but never a bit any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2246 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday June 11 at 2332 the 2330 on Shortwave Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.004, S9/+5 and noisy into UTwente. Also confirmed Tuesday June 11 at 2333 the 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+20 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed Wednesday June 12 at 1955 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S9+15 into UTwente with a whine unlike a het; and 3975.004, S9+10/15. 1959 outro jingle for `CQ Serenade` of which WOR is a part, and 2000 `Letterbox Show` except announcements are in German with Bad Homberg address and there are no letters, just music for a few minutes. Missed checking Wed June 12 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490-; anyone hear it? Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7288.90V, June 12 at 0637, ham in AM, immediately recognizable voice of ``Timtron`` - Tim Smith of WBCQ presumably from faraway home QTH, Skowhegan, Maine. And he`s talking about WBCQ! Unfortunately fading, R3/S5-S9 so I cannot copy all the details, but fragments. Mentions air filters for transmitters, Allan this-and-that. The MW-50 transmitter. Got a transmitter from WYFR/WRMI in FL, moved by Ryder rent-a-truck. Now his signal has varied down to 7288.82. 3265 transmitter is just sitting there, nobody wants to buy time on it. Refers to a fire happening, belch. Not clear whether something recent or historical. Finally at 0648 gives his callsign WA1HLR, and off. Can`t hear his contact. 0649 back on and back up to 7288.90. Says WBCQ has a CP to move FM station into non-commercial band! Finishes at 0653 addressing his contact as Blair (?). And I am QRT whether he is or not. If he runs much later into night, will clash with RRIndonesia on 7289.93; watch out, Ron Howard. The 7290 area of course is hangout for AM hams on 40m. Timtron is usually in the 3890 AM area on 80m band. FCC FM Query and LMS do not show any CP for WBCQ-FM 94.7 and the only other in Monticello is their translator of 780, W252DW on 98.3. 94.7 is licensed until 04/01/2030 to ``Allan H Weiner & Barbara A. Weiner`` -- I guess the A is for Angela? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 12 at 0635, NO signal from R. Vanuatu direct. Ron Howard agrees: ``June 12, Radio Vanuatu off the air during random checking 0605-0910 UT. Ron, Asilomar State Beach, Calif. (near Monterey), CommRadio CR-1, external antenna: 100 ft. long wire`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 2349 UT June 12
