flutter, i.e. CRI Portuguese service from Xianyang site this hour only
which of course is nothing but fill music, like used to be at 23+ UT
via Cuba 13650. Today however at 2345 check into Georgia SDR, 13650 is
in suptorted English presumably CRI via Cuba, -2400*. As for 11760,
RHC is never heard anymore on its #1 legacy frequency (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, May 27 at 2225, S9/+10 of suptorted music, probably
RHC Portuguese service, where something is always wrong. Likewise 24h

Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 95.5, May 28 circa 1700 & 1900 UT, low-power pirate music

peaking circa intersexion of Cleveland and Garriott in Enid (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** PHILIPPINES. 12095, May 27 at 2226, ``Jesus Saves`` music box IS,

leads with people killed in Canary capsizing; cause of blackout still
unknown. 2207 interviewing authority about migration, lamenting
anti-migrant sentiments led by Trump, as we are all immigrants or
their descendants. Most welcoming toward them is Germany and to a
lessening extent, Canada (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.003-, May 27 at 2215, VOT not off the air but JBA
carrier direct; 2251 into UTwente when measured, S9/+15, in 2-minute

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. Glenn, I got the news just now at 1622 UT, it
(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
big, beautiful bill, all funding for the USAGM has been removed. No
money, no shortwave or anything for that matter. I think I`m gonna
drink today. Glenn W7GS/8 (ex-Greenville)(via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. 9917.1 & 9942.9, May 28 at 2216, parasitic spurs out of 9930
WTWW which is S9+40/50, but no serious splatter. Strange that the
plus/minus 12.9 kHz are sometimes there, sometimes not; different
tunings or different transmitters? Heard before out of 5085 but not
5920, or 9475? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1660, May 28 at 0622 UT tuneby, immediately hear credit to
North Dakota Broadcasters Association, back to Dan Patrick show. So it
is KQWB, West Fargo, allegedly called ``Bison 1660``. Normally

** VANUATU. 9960, May 28 at 0619, no signal from R. Vanuatu nor on
7260, 7890 or 11835. Ron Howard explains at 0636: ``Radio Vanuatu
(9960 kHz) power problems --- May 28 (Wednesday UT), am hearing
problems on 9960: 0555 to 0607* UT, with very good signal via SDR
remote in New Zealand, till the transmitter suddenly cut off.
*0612-0613*, transmitter back on for a minute, till cut off again.
0613+, still silent through 0635. Have notified the station of the
problem. - - - - - Appreciate the quick reply from Pryce Aptenbel:
"Dear Ron, Thank you for your message and for monitoring our
broadcast. Apologies for the disruption — there was a power cut, which
likely caused the issue you observed. I’m currently on my way to
restart the transmitter and get us back on the air as soon as
possible. We appreciate your continued support and patience. Best
regards" -- 0730 UT - Radio Vanuatu still silent on 9960. Ron,
Monterey, Calif.``
``9960 - No signal heard here at 1030 UT {May 28}. I have been hearing
them on this frequency and at this time with fair signals over the

** ANTARCTICA. On May 26 I have sent this inquiry to Adrián Korol of
RAE: ``Todavía esperamos señales en 15476 de LRA36; parece que no
aparezca en 2025. ¿Puede informarnos qué pasa, por qué se demora, o
nunca más? Gracias, Glenn Hauser, World of Radio``
``We are still awaiting signals on 15476 from LRA36; it seems not to
be appearing in 2025. Could you inform us what is happening, why the
delay, or never again? Thanks, Glenn Hauser``
His reply - translation below:
``Hola Glenn. Gracias por tu correo ante todo. Lamentablemente el
equipo de 15476 USB (Collins HF80 sufrió un desperfecto no reparable
en Antártida y fue replegado para su reparación a la planta de RADIO
NACIONAL en Pacheco. Asimismo la s Fuerzas Armadas han conseguido un
equipo similar que también fue trasladado hacia Pacheco. Los técnicos
de Pacheco han comenzado tareas de reparación y ajuste para dejar
operativo al menos a uno de esos dos equipos para LRA36. Por
cuestiones meteorológicas ya no es posible el transporte desde Pacheco
a LRA36 hasta octubre próximo. Hasta entonces confíamos en reparar el
equipó transmisor y realizar emisiones de prueba desde Pacheco. Iremos
informando novedades en los próximos meses.
Por otro lado LRA36 se mantiene con su programa Sonidos de La
Antártida los días sábados , desde este pasado sábado 24 por streaming
en la web de RAE y Radio Nacional. El programa aunque por Streaming se
origina en LRA36.
Mensajes en redes sociales de LRA36 especialmente en Facebook e
Instagram Solicitando el pronto regreso de LRA 36 a la onda corta será
una bienvenida señal de apoyo para consolidar y priorizar la vuelta a
15476.
Quedo a disposición
73 Adrián``
Hi Glenn. Thanks for your email first of all. Unfortunately, the 15476
USB (Collins HF80) equipment suffered an unrepairable fault in
Antarctica and was returned to the RADIO NACIONAL plant in Pacheco for
repairs. The Armed Forces have also obtained similar equipment, which
was also transported to Pacheco. Pacheco technicians have begun repair
and adjustment work to ensure that at least one of these two devices
is operational for LRA36. Due to weather conditions, transport from
Pacheco to LRA36 is no longer possible until next October. Until then,
we hope to repair the transmitter equipment and conduct test
broadcasts from Pacheco. We will provide updates in the coming
months.
On the other hand, LRA36 continues to broadcast its program Sonidos de
La Antártida on Saturdays, starting this past Saturday the 24th, via
streaming on the RAE website and Radio Nacional. The program, although
streaming, originates from LRA36.
Messages on social media from LRA36, especially on Facebook and
Instagram, requesting the LRA 36's prompt return to shortwave will be
a welcome sign of support to consolidate and prioritize the return to
15476.
I remain at your disposal. 73 Adrián``
Reply on the WOR iog: ``Never saw anything about the big announcement
from 2023 again, so this plan got the chainsaw if it was ever
realistic at all?
https://swling.com/blog/2023/09/radio-nacional-arcangel-san-gabriel-receives-a-new-shortwave-transmitter/
And there may be some people who still wonder if they just find no one
to produce stuff in German or have done with that language. Kai
Ludwig`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. I hadn`t tried to hear the token English from RNB/RNA
lately, but after someone reported the entire 10 minutes was in
English, not half Spanish, I check again UT Tue May 27 via ``local``
remote in ``Brasila``, where the two signals are not strong at all,
unseem local, 6180 & 11780. At 0150 English introduxion of interview
with the Secretary of Culture, Pará state, leading up to a UN
conference on climate change, November, in Belém. Seems to be a
repeat; 0154 IDs and switch to Spanish saying this is part 4 of that.
Enough, already (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1600 kHz, Mon May 26 at 2213 UT, talking about flowers in
the Sonoran desert -- and 2214 outro `National Native News` from
Koahnic Broadcasting, with CPB funding. At daytime this is KUSH
Cushing, a commercial station. NNN is mostly on public radio stations,
and its affiliate list misses KUSH in OK, just the KCCU, KGOU
stations, and KCNP of the Chickasaw.
https://www.nv1.org/stations-affiliates/oklahoma/
It originates at KUNM in Albuquerque, but produced by Koahnic
Broadcast Corporation, which is in Anchorage, Alaska. Quite a variety
of programming, but can`t find a plain old program schedule:
https://www.1600kush.com/onair/native-air-with-hugh-foley
This outdated page does not say when Native Air airs, nor refer to
NNN, but, with linx to each: ``Tribes in the KUSH Listening Area: Sac
and Fox Nation, Pawnee Nation, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Iowa Tribe of
OK, Osage Nation, Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Cherokee Nation, Absentee
Shawnee, Otoe-Missouria Tribe, Ponca Tribe, Kickapoo Tribe of OK``
At night, KATZ St Louis owns 1600 here, if not KEPN CO, but KUSH, U1
70 watts at night, made it to Terry L Krueger, NW FL: ``1600 OKLAHOMA
KUSH, Cushing 1031 30 APR 2025 Real C&W, Americana, Bluegrass vocals.
Man "You're listening to The Kush, 1600... and 101 point 5 FM,
Cushing, Oklahoma..." Very nice level on occasional peaks. Surprised
to catch an Oklahoman on 1600. First time log`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, 15520, 15390, 17715, Mon May 26 at 2158, all four
RNEs on air, but quick check shows the three 15s are in three
different programs. EiBi shows until 2200 days 135 = MWF, 15390
Arabic, 15500 Sefardi, 15520 Russian - yes, the latter on ME beam
since that`s the closest they can get to Russia! At 2200 they all
merge for SFR English with a preview, 2201 news leading with at least
57 killed in Gaza last night. 2210 something about popular stories,
humorous comix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, May 26 at 2157, VOT not off the air, JBA IS &
English ID direct. At 2256 I tune in UTwente just in time to hear VG
carrier cut off* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2296 monitoring: confirmed Monday
May 26 at 1957 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002 S9+10 and a few
words behind on 6160.000+ S9/+10 both into UTwente.
Also confirmed UT Tuesday May 27 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/30 into S
Texas SDR, closer to the azimuth and much better than I can hear it
direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday May 27 at 1304 the 1300 on WRMI 9955, S9+10
direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday May 27 at 1421 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, JBA S5
sounds like me. Next:
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;

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4840, May 27 at 0615 UT, some really nice banjo music,
probably hymn tunes, S9+30 direct from WWCR; but everything crashes at
0617 when Brother Scare resumes crying out from the grave (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6000, May 27 at 0620, some unreadable JBA talk and
music, S8 direct = noise level; off at 0631 recheck. Nothing but
RHCuba is listed in Aoki & EiBi; AIR Leh might start at 0630 or 0700
if it were not silent, and not propagable anyway from midday there.
RHC would normally be much stronger but hardly modulated in English or
maybe Spanish by this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, May 26 at 2204, open carrier with wideband clix
JBA in noise level every two or three seconds. Another of these things
ending in ---6. What are they? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13682-13705 approx., May 26 at 2208, OTH radar clickery,
peaking S9 amid, but no broadcasters being blasted; altho EiBi shows
China could be on 13690, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17655, May 26 at 0224, S Asian language at S9/+10
direct; only stronger signal on band is 17675 NZ. EiBi shows CRI
Kashgar in Tamil this hour, then another hour in Hindi (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, May 26 at 0548, Station YHWH is on and JBA,
slightly better with Josiah`s thin voice audible if not
understandable, at 0611 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210 kHz, May 26 at 0220 UT, string of PSAs overcoming
high storm noise level; must be KGYN Guymon again failing to activate
DA protecting Philadelphia; yes, soon ID in passing as ``the 5-state
big talker, KGYN`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 95.7, May 25, KXLS Lahoma = really Enid, ID as ``The new
Mix 95-7``. Had been ``My 95.7`` per WTFDA FM DB (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 7178 LSB, May 26 at 0613, QSO in strange
language, sounds like Tagalog? Fortunately they eventually ID with
fonetix in English, also expressions such as ``go ahead; how copy?``.
VE6TY with KC6HFF. QRZ.com: ``VE6TY Canada flag Canada, Jerre Bon "JB"
Manlangit, Calgary, AB T1Y6Y3, Canada`` - also shows contact with
KC6HFF on 40m, Ireneo G Amable, dated 2025-03-03.

CABOLO-AN NORTE, OTON, ILOILO, PHILIPPINES`` Poulsbo is just NW of
Seattle, halfway to Leland, ATCF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9875.017+, Sun May 25 at 2054, VOT is just ending `The
Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`, S9+20/30 into UTwente; 2058
TRTVOTVorld.com promo, which is in 41 languages, music. 2101 finally
start `The Letterbox Programmme` later than usual. Hostess says it`s
time for her monthly report to the program? department about
correspondence. 1) Andre Sirani? Canada. 2) Mohammed --, Malaysia but
thought I heard Breyel mentioned. 3) Siddartha --, India, with usual
query, does Turkey observe World Hemophilia Day on April 17? Yes, but
I bet most don`t know it! 4) -- Henke?, Germany, tnx for last week
helping try to QSL R. Bayrak, TRNC. 5) ?, Canada, postal strike so
will hold QSL till OK to send; QRM de RNA 11780. 6) Jayanta
Chakroborty, New Delhi, India = last one. Letterbox is 2nd most
popular program after Turkish music. 2114 Cemre closes, going to visit
Black Sea coast?, theme and no other music insert this time.
Good thing I got it on 9875, as a sesquihour later, at 2230, the next
broadcast on 11785 is AWOL! Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
Furthermore, the 03 final repeat also missing at 0321 May 26 check
into NH SDR: No 7275, 6165 nor accidentalternate 9465.
BTW, TURKEY BANNED VOA ALREADY IN 2022 --- perhaps the least we can do
is boycott VOT now and tell them so. See this report via David Cole:
https://www.dw.com/en/us-public-media-shutdown-hits-harder-in-turkey/a-72661761
VOT anyway admits it doesn`t report any hard news about Turkey itself!
Of course the Voice of Trump should now be banned, everywhere (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

other WTWW on 5920 also playing other music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7505, May 26 at 0546, WRNO on later than usual with music,
rap? Unseems gospel, S9+40/45 direct. By 0610 recheck, in Chinese!

** ASCENSION. 21645, May 25 at 1433, JBA S2/S3 in unID lang and the
OSOB. Would you believe that EiBi as of May 17 lists nothing between
21630 & 21660? Aoki is ahead in this case as of May 24: BBC Hausa via
ASC at 1300-1700 on day 7 _only_ = Saturday for Aoki, but this is day 1
= Sunday, while for EiBi, day 1 = Monday! HFCC also has it for entire
A25 season, on day 7 = Saturday. HFCC file does not explicitly state
their days-of-week scheme, but numerous entries as 17 surely mean
Sunday & Saturday rather than Monday and Sunday. But there are some as
135, which would mean Sun/Tue/Thu rather than the more likely M/W/F. I
wonder if some HFCC registrants are just as confused about days of
week, entering them wrongly. It sure would be nice if all three major
references would agree on a single same DOW enumeration. At 1530,
21645 also audible into UTwente, sounds like coverage of a silly
ballgame; which might account for being active on Sunday, not just
Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9930, May 24 at 2213, WTWW wih TOMBS but modulation dropouts
a few times every minute averaging maybe 10 seconds each but
irregular. Keeps doing it past 2300, making Brother Hysterical even
more unlistenable. After 0000 check May 25 seems to have recovered.
Recheck just in time at 0104* to hear it go off, and 5920 cut on less
than a minute later. The other WTWW, 5085 was already on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9395, May 25 at 0203, this WRMI is surprisingly OFF, but
9455 is on with TOMBS. At 0315 check, 9395 back on (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 6160-, May 25 at 0203, this WBCQ is off. For quite a while,
its schedule has been very curtailed. Now shown as 01-02 UT Tue-Sat
Hal Turner; plus 02-03 Thu Hal; Devil`s Advocate UT Sat 02-03; AAAWWW
UT Sat 00-01, and that`s all, but I`ve yet to hear it with the latter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Sporadic E has been possiblizing lots of paths east of here,
nexus over Indiana, May 24 from 2309 UT. See unID 87.7! Yet nothing
else in numerous bandscans until at 0125 UT May 25, 93.3 Jack FM in
OKC has some unusual CCI to its C&W: mention of ``hospital of
Philadelphia`` - not enough to be certain, but a good Es distance and
direxion for: WMMR, Philadelphia PA, 16.5 kW, 264.0 m ``everything
that rocks`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1420, May 25 at 0132 UT, Meximx dominates. Probably
either XEF Juárez or KBHS Hot Springs AR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1480, May 25 at 0131 UT, Spanish preacher dominating. Of
several listed, most likely KLVL Pasadena TX, 5000/500 watts, Radio
Vida (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1549.82, May 25 at 0130 UT even on caradio, and this
early, the het against 1550s is audible, Mexico, Peru, or what? Can`t
measure it but sounds about the same pitch I recall on the bigrigs
later at night. And adjacent, lower and louder het below 1540 from
KGBC TX as usual but not always (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. ``Re: Unid 6938. Ron, I know what you mean, and see that
one very frequently. It's military, as far as I know, but the lone
carrier on 6938 is different. That one might be associated with
intermittent broad band pulses as well that can be seen +/- at least
50 kHz. 73, Walt`` Salmaniw, BC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9125.20 USB, May 24 at 0625, JBA 2-way M&W with pauses,
tonal language maybe Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. FM sporadic E paths are being reported further east, so
another session on the caradio in case they reach OK, May 24 so at
2309 UT to the caradio for tunearounds. Spanish/Mexican music on 87.7
is the only thing unusual, no signs of Es on higher frequencies in
repeated bandscans. 87.7 sounds slightly off-tuned so maybe really
87.74, 87.75 or 87.76 MHz, a `Franken FM`, really channel 6 analog TV
audio.
WTFDA FMDB lists 14 -LD stations on ``87.7`` including three in
Spanish that are not religious: KXDP-LD Denver CO ``La Invasora``,
WTBS-LD Atlanta GA, ``87.7 The Vibe`` and WDCN-LD Fairvax VA, ``Que
Onnda`` [sic]. Very little fading up or down, never in solid, so
unseems sporadic E. Maybe a local pirate, but never heard anything
like it before. $ tereo pilot icon occasionally flashes but usually
not. BTW, the 87.9 dead air in $ tereo carrier surely nearby, is off
now, but was on earlier in afternoon.
All the music sounds like same style, vocals with accordion. There are
interruptions for ads? mostly YL voices in English, and they are often
incomplete, cut off. Long pauses after tunes. Very amateurish
operation. What passes for an ID, heard numerous times, sometimes
thrice or more in a row, sometimes alone, sometimes mixing with mx, YL
sounds like
``de vos es [de?] chilao``
I have no idea if I`m spelling correctly. Could be chilau, referring
to a food; or chilao could refer to soil or a campground. At 2315 an
ad for Pepper? bras, cutoff; and for Lullabee skin care. Seven-Eleven
plug in Spanish, something for $ 5. Plug for ``Rodríguez report``,
parody? Towels from JCPenney. 2336, $ 3 for a guava drink; ``showing
you the way to be a lover again``; 2345 Jim Beam pineapple flavor.
2350 aceite ad. 2357 almost fadeout? But 2401 back with music,
mentions Zacatecas before cutoff. I`ve spent almost an hour with this,
and no closer to any real identification. Does anyone recognize any of
this?
Back online at 0011 UT May 25, the Es DXmap now shows a 99 MHz nexus
over Indiana, numerous paths including as far as Stillwater OK, almost
here, and still at 0108, so I go to car for another try at 0123:
nothing but the ``ID`` several times with long pauses, and weaker than
originally, off at 0129? no it`s back at 0137 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
WOR)
