 ** CUBA. 5025, May 20 at 0158, R. Rebelde is off; had been fairly reliable lately but weaker. Something`s wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MOLDOVA. 13730.011+, May 19 at 1551, Russian S9+25/35 into UTwente; 5+1 timesignal to 1600, silence and off some seconds later. Another test of Vesti FM from Grigoriopol` site in Russian-occupied Moldova, a.k.a. Pridnestrovye/Transnistria. Also heard widely in N America, tnx to Alexander Miatlikov, Ukraine tip: ``Another round of SW tests from Grigoriopol-Mayak tx site in Moldova/Transnistria towards the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the Far East. May 19 on 13730 kHz 10.00-11.00 UTC 15.00-16.00 UTC 19.00-20.00 UTC May 20 on 15175 kHz 11.00-12.00 UTC 16.00-17.00 UTC 20.00-21.00 UTC May 21 on 17505 kHz 10.00-11.00 UTC 15.00-16.00 UTC 19.00-20.00 UTC 300 kW, 16 degrees https://t.me/s/powerfulradio/290 P.S. Last time, this source also claimed the power was 300 kW, while a worker of that tx site wrote on radioscanner.ru/forum that it was 500 kW. Maybe it's 500 kW now too`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 13690, May 19 at 0618, RNZP only here, not also on 11725 as was the case last night at 0648. Sked calls for 13690 only until 0758, then 11725 plus 9700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 99.7, May 19 at 2220 UT, ``99-7 The Wolf`` ID, i.e. KWFF. This frequency was hijacked from Enid to Mustang, SW of OKC, by previous owner, then KXLS calls applied to 95.7 Lahoma instead. But we still have `The Wolf` on 106.3, which is KWOF Waukomis = Enid market. Both country format. How original! WTFDA FMDB lists 117 Wolfs in USA, and one Canadian, 104.9 CFWF-FM Regina, predominantly country but scattering of rockishes. I fail to appreciate how branding radio stations The Wolf accomplish anything positive (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 102.7, May 19 at 1938 UT, KJYO is on the air unlike yesterday, but seems a bit weaker than other OKCs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 105.3, May 19 at 1940 UT into caradio, enough signal to be sure it`s MONO, not $ tereo, on the ``Infinity Sports Network``, ads including one for Juneteenth with a (405) area code, so it`s not KFBZ In Kansas, but per WTFDA FM Database, KINB, Kingfisher OK, 0.93/0.93 kW, 254.0 m with CBS Sports Radio - different than Infinity? Was rebranded on April 15, 2024 per Wikipedia. So add one more to the MONO survey. I suppose this little station tries to reach part of the OKC Metro. Site is halfway between Kingfisher and Piedmont, i.e. further from Enid, and circular prime contour only reaches NW OKC, not quite to Lake Hefner. I wonder why they could not go to higher power (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Tornado season means OKC TV stations blow away a lot of network programming, for often continuous storm coverage. May 19 at 2233 UT, KFOR `4` RF 27 did join NBC Afternoonly News a bit late; while KWTV `9`, RF 25 shunted CBS Afternoon News to its substation KSBI `52` RF 23 Cable 16. KOCO ABC and KOKH Fox also have substations but I`ve yet to find them shunting major network programming to any of those. KFOR could also do that, to KAUT. Or extremely important preëmpted shows can be played in the nightmiddle for recording, such as Jeopardy on KFOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15500, 17715, 15520, 15390, Mon May 19 at 2200, token English from SNR nominal direct on all four in order of decreasing strength, and precious little else from Europe on these bands. Preview topix: Olive Oil Council meeting in Madrid; Eurovision Song Contest won by Austria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 9875.005+, Sunday May 18 at 2046, VOT English backwards into UTwente, S9+15, tuned just in time for end of `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy` and start of `The Letterbox Show` - as I have just finished delayed viewing of the #1 TV show, CBS Sunday Morning via website minus commercials, which totals 62.5 minutes. As usual I can only guess at some of the names, while others are repeat attenders. 1) Michael Kovsky? NY, has 11780 Brasil QRM to 11785. 2) Anatoly Klepov, Moskva wants May QSL: he reports every month. 3) Christian Henke?, Germany, visited TRNC and has tried to QSL R. Bayrak, but mail does not go thru; can VOT forward? 4) Mario Peña, Zaragoza, Spain, has monitored Turkish and French, when is Spanish? 5) Jayanta Chakroborty, India, 03 UT broadcast missing but heard next day, better on 7275 aimed at NAm than 6165 toward ME. 6) Orlando?, Taranto, Italy. 7) John Miller, Ochlocknee? Georgia, reports ``11875``. 8) Hideki? Miyaki? Japan, heard Chinese at 1100 on 17620, et al. tentatively VOT. 2105 wrapup; says 5/19 is Atatürk Day, 2106 plays children`s choir with patriotic song. 2109 outro theme. Don`t need to hear 2200 on 11785.006, but confirmed on at 2229 check, S9+45 into UTwente, when I hear that Georgia town better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 19 at 2158, VOT not off the air but JBA direct equal to noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2295 monitoring: confirmed Sunday May 18 at 2155 the 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002+, S9+10 into UTwente. Also confirmed Sunday May 18 at 2330 on WRMI-11, 9455, S9+20/35 into S Texas SDR, VG for us, NW across the continent. Skedgrid finally shows this correctly on System D, not 7570 or 7780. Also confirmed UT Monday May 19 at 0030 on WRMI-13, 7780, S9+10/30 into S Texas SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday May 19 from 0305 on Area 51 webcast only as previous program ran over; while WBCQ 5130 cut off at 0302*. Also confirmed Monday May 19 at 1953 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S9+10/15 and on 3975.002+, S8/S9, both into UTwente. Next: 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy; 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.

Still no sign of 9475, the daytime counterpart of 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, May 19 at 0539, this WRMI-11 is off again, so last night`s expansion was anomalous. It`s also off at 0052 May 20 during its nominal 00-04 schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17525, haven`t run across WMLK here for weeks in random afternoon bandscans; is totally unused? HFCC A25 registered 1730-2230 daily except Sabbathdays. Mostly heard mornings on 15150, some evenings on 9275. Last logged March 6-7-8 by myself and others when at first it was putting out 8X kHz spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1650, 1640, 1620 kHz, May 19 at 0600 UT, stupid sportstalk as I tune downward, slight delay from 1650 to 1640 and a bit longer delay on 1620, as network feeds are seldom synchronized from one affiliate to another, i.e.: FSR on 1650 KCNZ Cedar Falls IA, to 1640 KZLS Hennessey/Enid OK, to 1620 KOZN Bellevue NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. ``Hi Glenn, It took a while, but I believe I can rule out your 1549.82 carrier as being XEREL Morelia. I've attached an AVI file that is from my recording of 11 May 2025 near local sunrise, when the path between my home and Morelia was still in darkness. You can hear the Mexican anthem weakly in the recording and notice that no signal peaks are in the 1549.8-1549.9 range. I did not hear an ID, but XEREL is the only known Mexican on 1550 in the UTC-6 time zone. It is possible that another Mexican has recently become active on 1550, perhaps XECCAW in Jalisco, and that is the station playing the anthem. In that case, though, XEREL is putting in virtually no signal for me at 88 miles/142 km away. They have never been strong here despite being on a wide-open frequency, and my suspicion since you queried me about their signal is that the only way they will get to Oklahoma is with a plane ticket. 73, Mike Jeziorski, Qro.`` Tnx, Mike. Well, I would settle for Perú instead, hi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6938.0, May 19 at 0556, JBA carrier again, cf yesterday`s report: ``NORTH AMERICA. 6938 AM, May 18 at 0208 and still 0232, open carrier vs HSNL; at least I can`t make out any mod if it be a pirate? Nothing now reported in HFU, tho lots of older logs, unIDs, USB or AM`` To which Walt Salmaniw, BC replied: ``Glenn, I often hear this OC in Masset, but always assumed it was somehow connected to my Bodnar mini-GPS that does put out some spurs. I've never seen any modulation associated with it. 73, Walt`` Well, I don`t have a Bodnar mini-GPS, whatever that be, so really think 6938 be external to both of us. Should appear on various remotes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0246 UT May 20 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
