** OKLAHOMA. We were up late June 7 past 0700 UT in case of tornado
warnings; lots around but missing Enid. Made quick check of local FM
dial for anomalies. Off the air: 95.7, 107.1. Wx info maybe from TV
station: 89.7. Relaying NWS advisory at 0713: 106.3. Regular schedule
with music or talk: 97.7, 100.9. By 1545, 95.7 & 107.1 on the air;
maybe had power failure at site rather than damage (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR) More FM: See U S A
** TURKEY. 11785.006-, June 7 at 2200, VOT English not off the air and
not on wrong frequency, S9+40 into UTwente, opening with news about
Gaza, never about Turkey, of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2298 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday June 7 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, VG S9+10/15 into Maryland SDR,
following Ancient Word Radio and WTWW IDs. Followed by a minute of
music 0329-0330* without announcements.
Also confirmed Saturday June 7 at 1451 the 1430 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001+, S9+10/20 into DL7APJ remote; only S8/S9 with self-imposed
het into UTwente.
Distracted by no FM DX, missed checking Sat June 7 at 1730 on SWR
Germany, 3975 & 6160; anyone hear them?
Confirmed Saturday June 7 from 1933 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S8 into
K9VD Jerseyville IL SDR.
Confirmed Saturday June 7 at 1937 the 1930 on WRN North America

** U S A. Sporadic E MUF circa 98 MHz, NEXUS central Illinois and some
paths almost here on DXMAP, so I check the caradio June 7 at 1735+ UT.
Several complete bandscans but no DX heard. Spoiler fringe station
tend to fade in and out like ionospheric skip, e.g. 88.1 a strong
`This American Life` on public radio, 1757 UT battling with KMSI Moore
Oasis Network, but JBA ID by 1759 as KGOU, i.e. KWOU Woodward OK. Some
Wichita signals above normal, like 98.7, 95.1. All I can do is note
some anomalies, such as 94.3 at 1806, JBM with ``bubbly`` talk, likely
the Bott mono in KS, yes, finally resumes normal modulation at 1807,
and // 95.1 in OK.
91.5, gospel/praise rock, June 7 at 1737 UT and later, NO big hum.
Steady signal, and no ToH ID caught (or sent?), circa 1800 but surely
KSNS Medicine Lodge KS, which had been hummy for weeks - so no longer
a clue for DXers.
101.5, at 1740 UT, Spanish but with English words such as `Countdown`
and adstring, Heritage for the Blind, 800-314-5027; Aerolíneas
Low-Cost, 800-261-5094 -- that is apparently an aggregator, not name
of one airline. Finally ID as ``La Mexicana, 93.9 y 101.5``, i.e. KSMM
Liberal KS, 100/100 kW, relay of KSSA 105.9 but // KZRD 93.9 per WTFDA
FM DB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, June 6 at 1448, CHR, Trenton Military is back!
Only S5. After absence for almost two months, first noted missing on
April 8. Since then I have checked at least once every day in routine
bandscans, and occasionally night frequency 6754 USB. Both Aviation
Weather and Terminal Forecasts from the usual airports. ID at 1451 and
``time, 1450 zulu`` -- only one minute off. Listened for a couple
minutes and did not hear any ``no report received``s, tho that would
be routine for at least a few cases. Just in time as the only other
Canadian VOLMET, Gander is closing permanently June 12 at 0901*.
However, 15034 USB not audible at 2211, nor on 6754 USB, nor either
into Maryland SDR at 2302. But at 2349, 6754 USB is on and VG into
Maryland. I was going to look up sked info in EiBi but both had
already been deleted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, June 6 at 0630, RNZP right after BBC relay, is
running about two syllables behind // 11725, as I switch from one to
the other on same receiver, why? Still not ``supposed`` to be on both
during this hour per own sked. Reply to my previous report about BBC
relay running late:
``I noticed that the BBCWS relay via RNZ today was off by a whopping 4
minutes 37 seconds approximately as my PC clock may be off by a second
and the RNZ ToH pip was at 0600:01. After ToH pips and ID it was a
crash into Newsday. Here's 5 minutes:
http://www.popshopradio.ca/20250606_0559_UT_9700_khz_New_Zealand_RNZ_BBCWS_Relay.mp4
Tony Pavick, Hope BC`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, June 6 at 1900 UT, KJIL ID, as its translator here
in Enid has just moved from 88.7, presumably because of less CCI for
it. But now we may forget about otherokies on 88.3 or DX; and may
impede reception on 88.1 & 88.5. Will also have to run our RF feeders
elsewhere than 88.3, maybe 88.7. WTFDA just notified FCC axion of 88.7
K204GU being replaced by 88.3 K202EU. KJIL is a gospel huxter on 90.1
in Copeland KS, with lots of translators. WTFDA FMDB shows 17 of them
plus 6 non-translator relays not only in KS & OK but also in adjacent
CO & TX across the OK Panhandle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715 & 15500, Fri June 6 at 2209, token English from SNR
equally VG direct, S9+10/20, and // weaker 15520, much weaker 15390.
Interview about artificial reefs, 2219 that it`s World Ocean Day being
celebrated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, June 6 at 2208, no signal direct from VOT English;
nor on 11780, 11790 or accidentalternate 9875. But could it be under
Brasil 11780? No, none of them heard either into UTwente at 2220.
Erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2298 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday June 6 at 1307 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, S8/S9 direct.
Also confirmed Friday June 6 at 2045 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.994+, S7 and noisy into UTwente.

direct, undermodulated.

** U S A. WTWW, George McClintock informs me June 6 that since 5085 is
operating well, WORLD OF RADIO should appear UT Saturday June 7 at
0300. and 5085 is in fact on at 0133 check June 7. The corresponding
day frequency 9475 still won`t work: needs some mechanical repair to
the tuning mechanism, a new chain. Trying to convince TOMBS for 24h
operation on the other WTWW, 9930/5920, especially since WRMI is so
direxional that they don`t cover the west coast. But TOM people do not
understand how SW worx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, June 6 at 2350 into Maryland
SDR: 3265 off, 5130 off, 6160 off; 7490 -77 Hz = 7489.923 S7/S9 with
FKB; 9330 S9/+12 with WLCR Portuguese. By 2353, 5130 -85 Hz = 5129.915
carrier is on, only S4/S7, and from 2355 IS & ID. FKB`s one-minute?
warning tone, as he is apparently live, at 2359 cuts him off for ID
etc in only half a minute!
UT Sat June 7 at 0000, on 7490-, WTO theme, one word, ``ready``. 0001
talkover about ``peace, love, and understanding``, ``we keep throwing
those wet snowballs into hell...`` Free speech, etc. 0003 says
simulcasting, live; it`s a hot and puffy? day in Deland of Fla,
humidity 90% and temp 90+. Angela hates air conditioning, turns it off
after Allan turns it on in the house. Has also been hot in Maine, but
always cools off at night. WBCQ is not in debt; credit card advice;
0012 ``the butterfly effect``. 0024 contact info, says on 7490 & 9330,
but not 5130 which is carrying `Intelligence Report` since 6160 is out
of order. So I switch to 9330 which is stronger than 7490. 0025
datestamp as 6 of June 2025; a couple songs including Carly Simon. At
around 0035 recheck, 9330 is back in World`s Last Chance! already, in
English. So I resume 7490-. 0040 rails against ``nitwit Biden`` and
all the Moonbats/Communist/Democrats who are responsible for all
that`s wrong today but keep getting re-elected, he cannot understand
why. Also despises southern Maine and the Democrat governor for the
whole state. 0052 items from Free Radio Weekly, but it`s last week`s
issue. He doesn`t understand what I meant by ``five pirates at once``.
0059 chopped off for canned ID, and an ad, presumably from the Hal
Turner feed, and then he`s bragging about his coverage via WWCR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9340.43v, June 6 at 0632, S5/S7 of open carrier,
seemingly related to 9330.00 WBCQ/WLCR, which is S9+15 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15134-15157 approx., June 6 at 2212, OTH radar clickery.
No broadcasters audible in that range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. June 6 at 0643+, bandscan encounters numerous JBA
signals on the 16m band as we approach the Shortest Night. I match
them with EiBi listings, but no firm IDs:
17520: CRI Italian via Kashgar
17650: CRI Mandarin via Kashgar to Europe
17710: CRI English via Kashgar to SE Asia
17720: CRI German via Kashgar
17740: CRI Mandarin via Xian to SE Asia
17772: DRMish noise: 17770 CNR1 DRM Mandarin from Dongfang, Hainan
17840: CRI Mandarin via Beijing to Siberia
17850: RFI French to C Africa
17865: CRI French via Kashgar to Europe
18200: SOH Taiwan, but probably CNR jammer

** BRAZIL. 11780, June 5 at 0154 into Lima remote, RNA/RNB going from
token English to Spanish, part 3 of the interview with someone in
Belém, Pará. It seems this is being repeated over and over (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9700 // 11725, June 5 at 0600 tune-in direct, RNZP
still on two at once contrary to own schedule, during BBC promos; 5+1
timesignal very late ending at 0602:22! compared to WWVH, and into BBC
news. Not clear where the TS originate, but totally wrong and should
not have aired as if accurate. Must be quite a delay in getting BBCWS
into RNZ. I think BBC news would have started at 0601 in real time
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2298)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2297 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday June 5 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S6/S9 backwards into Maryland
remote; into Lima, Perú remote which supposedly covers 6.5-30 MHz,
S8/9+10 but noisy on 5.01 MHz. Recheck Maryland at 0157 already in
music fill, so WOR must have been cut off early, how early?
Also confirmed Thursday June 5 at 1630 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000+, S8/9 into UTwente but with self-imposed het. Lesley
Illingworth recommends: ``Hi folks, Teltow, near Berlin works fine.
9+15dB
http://meinsdr.ddns.net:8073/?f=6160.000amz8
Cheers, Lesley (Bremerhaven, Germany)`` to which I tune immediately,
DL7APJ, where it`s S9+22 and clear, also in use by other 6160
listeners in Sweden, Germany.

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. This is more a note-to-self, admittedly. LW
bandscan June 6 from 0612 UT finds the local noise level slightly
diminished, so MCW beacon carriers audible on: 251, 255, 332, 395, 404
kHz. I know what they must be from TX, OK, KS. And JB strong enough to
copy calls from: 293 FBY Fairbury NE, and 407 HRU Herington KS - but
only when tuned to 405 USB instead. Both 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Alan Roe
WOR - APPLE PODCAST TITLES PROBLEMS
``Hi Glenn; I listen to the show via Apple's Podcast platform. The
site is posting your shows with the proper show number but lists the
date for the past several shows as Dec 31 1969! Thought I was gonna
get a retro re-run, but no they are your latest's shows! Keep up the
good work! Mark Limbruner, Pittsburgh PA``, May 31
Glenn, I have confirmed an issue with the podcast. Some settings have
changed on either your or my server (maybe because of some recently
applied update). I cannot come up with a quick fix, but will work on
this in the next few days. The feed(s) may be down or erroneous for a
few days in the meantime. Keith Weston``, May 31
Mark, Tnx for letting me know. My podmaster says he`s working on
correcting it. Glenn
``Glenn, A bigger fix is needed and will take some time to script and
test. As a result, the podcast may be offline for about 7-10 days. If
I can speed this up, I will. You may want to alert your subscribers
and readers in some way. There's no need to send me error reports
until after a potential fix is in place. Best, Keith``, June 4
Keith, Tnx for taking care of this. Not that you need anything more to
fix, but checking the other/related podcasts I have linked at
http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
I see that tunein.com also shows 1969 date for as yet unavailable 2298
but otherwise seems OK;
Feedburner goes to a document tree
Maybe we don`t need to keep these others?
RMRC is OK.
YouTube does not show the latest on top, but a seemingly random-order
selection mostly of 2024
Of course, I myself have not actually subscribed to any of them.
Glenn
``Yep. That seems about right. All those are fed by the same now
error-throwing master RSS feed. The master list that creates all these
other selections is at fault and will need to be entirely rebuilt.
I'll keep you posted. --
Keith Weston`` https://keithweston.com
There are some other podcast options, see top of homepage
http://www.worldofradio.com
or

** CANADA. 28193 CW, June 4 at 2206, VVV DE VE4ARM/B ... E x 17. Same
as May 28 log, q.v. Only one other 10m beacon heard, see USA, and no
phones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, June 4 at 2213, RHC S6/S8 and JBM, presumably
Portuguese. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725 // 9700, June 4 at 0628, RNZP still on two
frequencies contrary to own sked which shows 11725 only until 0759
becomes 9700 +7425. Caught my ear with dead air, and a few more drops
to dead air as BBC relay is ending, ``rejoining RNZ`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Re last report, OKC FM stations relaying TV tornado
warnngs, among the KFOR stations was 94.7, not typo 93.7, fixed:
KFOR ON: 88.5, 89.7, 90.1, 90.5, 94.7, 96.1, 100.5, 101.9, 102.7. Also
on AM 1000, 1340 vs huge noise level so not all signals are even
audible. Of course, no mere radio station has its own meteorology
department. One must admit that the visual element is very useful if
not essential (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** RWANDA [and non]. A while ago I made a misleading comment about the
KNK language abbreviation, for Kirundi/Kinyarwanda, as related to the
genocide of 1994, of the Tutsi by the Hutu. That was not a language
schism, as both ethnicities speak Kinyarwanda. Kirundi is the language
of neighboring Burundi, presumably related but not an issue in the
genocide, as I understand it. Would those who quoted that item please
also publish this clarification (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715, Wed June 4 at 2211, token English from SNR at S9+20
direct despite S American aim, almost as good as 15500 to NAm,
S9+20/40. Also 15520 for ME S9+10, but 15390 to Africa is JBA S9 =
noise level. Discussion of violence against women, feminist movement
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, June 4 at 2210, S9 VP signal direct, so VOT is again
not on 11780. No further chex nor into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 28225.7 CW, June 4 at 2207, VVV VVV DE WB4NCT ... AL. WGB
list: ``28225.7 WB4NCT - Athens AL USA EM64mt - #0 (08 Apr 2023) Note:

``Glenn, This is the last message. The two guys still at the station,
Chief Engineer Macon Dail and Shift Supervisor Rex Oliver have been
told their notice of termination will be forthcoming. Therefore the
station is officially closed and abandoned. This, I`m sorry to say, is
the end of VOA/OCB. As a former employee, it was a great experience
and a fun ride. Tonight, I will face Greenville with two fingers of
single malt and drink to its service. Then I will face DC with two
other fingers. Please print this name and all. Be well my friend and
stay in touch. 73, Glenn Swiderski, W7GS/8, Former transmitter
engineer Greenville``
Dear Engineer Glenn and WOR group, How heartbreaking it is to hear
these stories on a daily basis on the demise of VOA. Neither Kari Lake
or the President care or have a clue regarding the reckless actions
they have taken to destroy a much needed and beloved American asset. I
remember the 1960's with the Breakfast Show hosted by Pat Thoren heard
by more than 300 million people along with great news and jazz
programs. We all grieve with you. Radio New Zealand ran an hour's
program from the BBC about Voice of America's demise. I'm very worried
about what will happen to these 500 KW transmitters. If the government
wants to save money, it doesn't make sense to destroy VOA's assets but
we know this nothing less than a personal power grab. It is not about
saving taxpayers money or streamlining the budget. With heartfelt love
and prayers. Tom Roberts, PhD, DD, KF7PKG, Fellow Broadcaster`` (via
