** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 28442 USB, April 14 at 2220, VK2CR calling
CQ10. QRZ.com: ``VK2CR Australia flag Australia, Peter Richard Thomas,
Sydney, Australia, QSL: SORRY I DONT QSL`` - wow, what a rare
admission. Also had a ZL? Ross on 28496 USB at 2223. This is a good
time of day for 10m DX from both sides of Pacific, see also CHILE;
sometimes also Japan. Not much on the beacon sub-band except Belize,
and most of North America is too close for F2 skip (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** BRAZIL. 4985, April 14 at 0515, JBA carrier, implying RBC back on
air; a stronger signal on 11815, S9+10, maybe in Portuguese. But 11815
at this time could also be Vatican, Taiwan or ChiCom jamming. Around
0600 checked Brasil remote but nothing on 4985. Also at 1925 into
Goiânia SDR, nothing on 4985 or 11815. Check further, anyway. As of
Apr 11, Rudolf Grimm reported no 4985 and on Apr 14 no 11815 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHILE. 28470 USB, April 14 at 2222, CA3PHX calling CQ10, CQDX. Have
logged before. QRZ.com with lots of equipment photos: ``CA3PHX Chile
flag Chile, Mauricio "Mauro" Pacheco, La Florida, Santiago
+56984082037, Chile`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ISLE OF MAN. 1368 kHz: see UNIDENTIFIED
** MARTINIQUE. 4811.8, April 14 at 0514, S9+10 open carrier, presumed
FUF, as in yesterday`s report. What became of the STANAG 4285 noise?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6959.3 AM, Apr 14 at 0519, pirate music S9/+10.
``The Cosmonaut System``, per these exact same reports until 0550*:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,143514.0.html
ending with this from station himself: ``EM transducer test sequence:
Successful. All analog during this TX. Full Orbital Equilibrium reached.
Greetings from Orbit, Earthbound. beep... beep...beep... Logged. This
is The Cosmonaut System, Relay node for the galaxy-wide Information
Constellation. Doppler corrected for Earthbound reception`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, Apr 14 at 0520, Josiah intonations JBA at
S9+10/20, anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 9500, Apr 14 at 0525, S9+10/20 in French, off at 0528
recheck. It`s RRI at 0500-0527. CNR1 and Algeria could also be on 9500
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. JBA MW carriers, Apr 14 at 0509-0523 UT, almost all lead to
R5, Spain! See UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500 S9+30, 15520 S9+10/20, 15390 S7/9+10, 17715 S9+30, Mon
Apr 14 at 2200, token English from SNR on all four transmitters. The
15s are SSOB direct, vs 15770 WRMI only S9+10, and hardly anything
else from Europe. Preview topic about Don Quixote inspiring an
American writer about society, civilisation about to collapse. News
leads with American Treasury Secretary visit; NYC helicopter company
shutting down after disaster killing Spaniard visitors; Mario Vargas
Llosa died; Easter/holy week is underway. 2206 report from Beirut
correspondent about Apr 13 being the 50th anniversary of start of
Lebanon civil war, PLO vs Phalangists, 150K killed. 2210 interview
with American author of `Don Bigote`, inspired by Cervantes` `Don
Quixote de la Mancha`. Bigote = moustache (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9875.018+, Sun Apr 13 at 2049, VOT S9+20/25 off the back
into UTwente, `Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`, music; 2101
``always-by-your-side`` promo, 2106 finally `Letterbox` starts. 1)
Francis, Ireland wants QSL, also sent two more reports to German dept.
2) Anatoly Klepov, Moscow. 3) phone call from Ricky Hein, South Dakota
reporting 7275 and 11785 with very poor reception on both. 4) Jayanta
Chakroborty, India, gets 7275 better than 6165, reverse of aiming. 5)
last: Siddartha Para--??, question about theatres in T. `Twelve Angry
Men` based on the American novel about a jury, is currently a big hit.
Is World Theatre Day March 27 celebrated in Turkey? Yes. 2116 closing
with A25 QSY reminder, no details, contact info, 2117 closing song
within L`box. There are a handful of `regular` listeners called over &
over in L`box. Now I don`t have to get it a sesquihour later on
11785.004+, but quick check confirms it`s not off the air today,
S9+45/50 into UTwente at 2211; 2255 recheck IS, 2256 pause, restart
IS, and German IDs. 2300 5+1 timesignal, s/on extraneous German.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; but off by next check 2305
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9770, Apr 14 at 0526, ME music, S9+20/30, the SSOB except
for WBCQ 9330. Change to another tune 0529 past 0530. It`s VOT Turkish
at 0400-0555, 310 degrees from Emirler for W Europe, and here we are
directly beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 14 at 2159 no signal direct from VOT English,
nor on 9875; nor on spot chex later in hour, but did not get around to
trying UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2290 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 13 at 2000 on WRN Europe stream.
Missed checking Sun Apr 13 at 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975;
anyone?
Confirmed Sunday April 13 at 2330 on unlisted WRMI 9455, S9+35/40 into
Georgia SDR // much weaker S7/S9 7780 - and again NOT on the listed
7570 which is again in TOMBS. 9455, like 5850, is aimed due NW 315
degrees, so VG here and should be in much of N America. However OTH
radar is JBA underneath, and ranges about 9450-9470,
Also confirmed UT Monday April 14 at 0039 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S9/+10 into Georgia SDR, and not on any other WRMIs.
Also confirmed UT Monday April 14 from 0259 on Area 51 webcast, while
WBCQ 5130- switches to music postlude to JL after a word or two from
me opening.
Also confirmed Monday April 14 at 1930 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.002-, S9+5/15 into UTwente with RTTYditty ACI de 6164, evitable
by narrowing BW below 8 kHz; also slight intermittent CCI under,
2-way. This time 6160 is running a couple words behind 3975; separate
playouts? Or SDR delays.
Also confirmed Monday April 14 at 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002,
S9+10/15, no QRM. 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];
1830 UT Tuesday IRRS 7290 [? at least April 8];
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.

Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15555 USB, Apr 14 at 1521, WJHR with gospel huxter, what
else?, peaking S8, the SSOB! Quite an achievement for this
underpowered station in FL. Operates daytime only; for several days
never hit it on random bandscans, was off? Maybe sporadic-E
enhancement now; 15770 WRMI manages only S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 9960, Apr 14 at 0527, JBA carrier already from R Vanuatu
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. It`s been months since I have logged a bunch of JBA
trans-Atlantic MW carriers - mainly due to my horrible local line
noise level in Enid. But occasionally I do still perform a 9/kHz
bandscan after local sunset, before or near European sunrise, such as
on April 14, and was pleased to detect them into the R75, both on the
internal N/S shortwire and the E/W loop. Method is tuning 9 kHz steps,
in USB, 1 kHz below the channels, producing JBA 1 kHz hets where there
be any signal at all. Reference is:
https://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php
1503 kHz, April 14 at 0509 UT, first one noticed, and not a major one
heard before, either. Besides 1 kW in Trieste and 25 kW in Egypt, too
late for that, the ONLY ones left are a 10 kW and a 5 kW RNE Radio 5
Todo Noticias in Andalucía and Galicia!
1413, April 14 at 0510: likely too late for the hugies, 500 kW in
Moldova, 800 kW in Oman, Besides tiny UKs from 10 to 500 watts, more
RNE Radio 5s, of 25, 12 and 10 kW in Galicia, Cataluña, Andalucía.
1368, April 14 at 0511, never mind Iran, Egypt, Seychelles, leaving
Manx Radio Gold, 20 kW in UK from *0445. No Spains listed.
1305, April 14 at 0512, once again, RNE Radio 5, four stations of 25,
10, 10 and 10 kW in Galicia, País Vasco, Castilla-La Mancha; rather
than 50 kW in Iran, 10 kW in Egypt, low-powers in UK, Greece.
1125, April 14 at 0523, NOTHING listed except RNE Radio 5, with 12,
10, 10, 10, 10 kW in Castilla y León, Extremadura, Valencia,
Castilla-La Mancha, País Vasco.
1107, April 14 at 0513, again & again, RNE Radio 5, of 25, 24, 20, 10
and 10 kW in La Rioja, Extremadura, Cantabria, Ponferrada, Aragón,
rather than lowpowers in UK, Greece, Italy.
1098, April 14 at 0522, never mind 200 kW in Iran, 100 kW in Sa`udi,
low powers in Italy, Holland, leaving only: More RNE Radio 5s, of 25,
25, 10, 10 kW in Andalucía, Galicia, Castilla y León, Andalucía.
I suspect there were some sunrise-skip enhancement as today`s SR in
Lugo, Galicia, NW corner of Spain, was 0550 UT. Of the multi-sites
applying on each frequency, I bet I was mainly hearing those in the
NW, lucking into a sweet spot. I also checked low end of the band, but
nothing on frequencies like 684, 774, 855 which used to be easier,
with higher-powered synchros. Suspect many of them have been
downgraded or even terminated. Of course high-enders would propagate
longer than low-enders. Also happened to be very little spring storm
noise in North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2290 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
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,
way late the 1930v, VG into nearby SDR.
Confirmed Saturday April 12 at 2343 the 2330 on IPAR/NEXUS/IBA/IRRS
webcast only.
Also confirmed UT Sunday April 13 from 0404 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
the 0315v. ARRL News started late at 0350 so was expecting WOR by
0405.
Also confirmed Sunday April 13 at 1920 the 1900 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.996+, S9 into UTwente. Next:
2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW; 9455 to NW; or 7570?
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW;

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING
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

** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Sat Apr 12 at 0149, RNA with RNB mini-English
segment, VG S9/+10 into local SDR. It`s another repeat, pt 1 with the
black woman who is an artist and filmmaker on the rôle of cinema and
environmental activism in Pará. 0154 switch to same in Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 13690, Apr 12 at 0610, maybe BBC relay on
RNZP, but not // BBC itself on 9410 via ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Apr 12 at 0612, JBA carrier, presumed Station
YHWH, anti-Christ pirate, as nothing else ``scheduled`` now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 94.5 is the FM frequency for movies at the El-Co
Drive-in, Shattuck, as in Ellis County. Near the TX panhandle, it`s
the only DI in NW OK. Quite a story about it in the Enid News & Eagle
April 12. Strangely enough, tho it`s a front-page story, I can`t find
it on the website, only photos such as:
https://www.enidnews.com/shattuck-drive-in/image_d72f2dc4-a42b-4dbf-92d9-9a4ecb94cd45.html
Maybe will show up later, for subscribers only? Showtime is 9:30 pm in
the summer CDT = 0230 UT, so if you have a very strong sporadic E
opening from this area? Wonder if it`s $ tereo. Nearest full-power
94.5s are: KSKL Scott City KS, 100 kW; KSOC Tipton OK, Spanish 9.4 kW;
KFMX Lubbock TX 100 kW; KZMJ Gainesville TX 100 kW (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, Fri Apr 11 at 2158, SFR not off the air, S9+20/30
direct, nor the others: 15520 S9/+20, 15390 S7/S9, 17715 S9/+10. And
2200 opening token English, 2201 news leads with helo crash in NYC
killing family from Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 11 at 2157, NO signal direct from VOT English;
nor at 2225, 2250 into UTwente, nor possible accidentalternate 9875.
Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4724 USB, Apr 12 at 0619, US military crypto exercise,
uncopied, but ``This is New Moon, out``, then repeating, also starting
with that tactical ID, as I survey the usual //s, not quite as strong,
on 8992 USB, 11175 USB, 15016 USB. Initially there was an echo, but
not on the repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2290 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 11 at 2203 the 2200 on WRMI 9955, direct seemed deadair, then
JBM, QRM from 9930 WTWW splatter, q.v. 2227 into Georgia SDR I can be
sure it`s really me with #2290 on 9955, S9+15/20.
Also confirmed UT Friday April 11 before 2230, the 2200 on webcast of
World FM, New Zealand.
Also confirmed Friday April 11 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.002+, S8/S9 into UTwente. Next:
Sat Apr 12 I happen to awaken sometime between 0930 & 1000, so check
for alleged WOR airing on WRMI 9455, as has been on their System D
websked for ages: as expected, 9455 is OFF at this hour altho
obviously funxional earlier in evenings. WOR was also once reported at
this time on 7730 substituting for 9455 after hurricane damage: now a
JBA carrier on 7730 is too weak to tell if WOR be on it. 7730 is also
a ChiCom jamming/SOH frequency up to 24h.
Also confirmed Saturday April 12 at 1435 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001-, S9/+5 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Saturday April 12 at 1600 on WRN N America & Europe
streams.
Also confirmed Saturday April 12 at 1730 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001+, S8/9+10 into UTwente but with 6164 RTTYditty ACI unless BW
<8 kHz, or LSB tuned; and a few words behind on 3975.001+, S8/S9, no
QRM.

** U S A. 9810/10015, April 11 at 2205+, approx., range of audibiity
of splatter out of 9930 WTWW, peaking circa 9870 at S9+30 vs band
noise level of only S9. As before I make sure the TOMBS modulation
peaks match 9930 on a second receiver, and NOT matching 9980 WWCR
which is also TOMBSing but never synchronized with 9930. In fact the
9930 splat can be heard as close to 9980 as 9985. Also the separate
discrete spurs about 9917 & 9943 equidistant from 9930. Waterfall at
Georgia SDR shows the smush surrounding 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Apr 11 at 2349, into NH SDR;
3265 & 5130 OFF. 6160 on with algo S6/S7. 7490 -75 Hz, S9+10 of FKB.
9330 S7/S9 WLCR Portuguese, hollow with backscatter? *2355 5130 -46 Hz
= 5120.954 cuts on with IS & ID loop. 2357, now 6160 -72 Hz = 6159.928
has been beefed up to S9/+5 of algo.
UT Sat April 12 at 0000, 7490-, 5130- and 9330 join for ID and `WTO`
theme of AAAWWW, initial talkover: ``I`m here, how ya doing, folx? ...
Totally unprepared...` Ensues conversation with plenty of angry input
by Angela, such as doesn`t like rap crap. Allan refers to a ScAm =

as dangers to health. 0030 a bit of music. 0036 contact info. 0048
mentions FRW. 0050 a bit more music, and then reading some items from
Free Radio Weekly, but it`s *last week`s issue* as I follow along, and
he concludes with the Oklahoma station on 670 -- except that was an
editorial typo in my report of Virtual DJ Radio correctly
on 1670 - as it still is. 0057 some email. Runs past 0100, but 5130
stops at 0101, then a bit of music, while 7490 presumably switches to
JIP Hal Turner; and 9330 to English.
That reminds me, whatever became of the other Worlds Last Chance
languages? In WRTH 2024 they had some French, German and Spanish, but
current sked shows only: 22 hours of English and 2 hours of
Portuguese, at 22-24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9265, Apr 12 at 0608, WINB running late again, YL gospel
huxtress referring to ``Yah-wah``, S9/+25 direct. Program sked at
winb.com still dated March 9, still with wrong ET/UT conversion of 5
hours instead of 4, still claims it`s off the air after midnight =
really 04 UT, not 05. Last time I caught them late was also Sat, Apr
5, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7656.0, Apr 12 at 0623, S9 open carrier, last logged
March 24 at 0639 with wideband clickery, q.v. Maybe now too, but noise
level too high to detect them. Among several such mysteries all ending
in 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 5939.581, Apr 11 at 0444, R. Voz Missionária reactivated,
supposedly with new transmitter acquired from R. Marumby, but again is
way off-frequency-minus, further than before, as measured by Brasília
SDR, which seems accurately calibrated. Only S5/S7 signal there. Tnx
to tip from Rudolf Grimm that it was back. At 0606 I try it direct: as
usual, JBA carrier, 5939.58 in mush from dirty 5935 WWCR, which throws
out spurs around this area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 87.9, Apr 11 at 2005 UT, dead air in $ tereo in my
neighborhood, short range, no doubt some RF feeder probably in a
parked car and not turned off (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** PHILIPPINES. 15620, Apr 11 at 1430, `Jesus Saves` IS and dead air.
EiBi shows FEBC Bocaue site at 1400-1430 in Javanese. HFCC shows 100
kW at 200 degrees. Despite such awayness, it`s now one of the better
signals on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 13635, Apr 11 at 0558, VOT Turkish with music, good S6/S8
direct with improving spring conditions, ex-9650 in B season. At 0600,
3-pip timesignal ending 4 seconds late compared to CHU and presumed
news. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K [non]. 13690, April 11 at 0601, BBC news relay, VG S9/+20
direct via RNZ via RNZP. Probably better via NEW ZEALAND than any
BBCWS SW frequency itself into North America. RNZ sked shows BBC
Newsday for the entire 06-07 UT hour, on Fridays, not clear if every
day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. New WOR iog member, I ask about the current status of 1180
kHz: ``Glenn, Radio Marti’s 1180 KHz is operating at full-Power (100
Kw) 24/7, all transmission appears to be normal, tower lights are all
working. Programming is recorded content. Due to the Agency has locked
out all employees from the Miami Studios, no news is produced
currently. The automation repeats programming every 48 hours, is my
understanding. I monitor the transmission daily.
My name is Melvin Eleazer; Key Colony Beach, FL (located near
Marathon, FL). I have worked with VOA for 30+ years (retired from
Radio Martí as Station Manager & Senior Engineer of Marathon`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 790, April 11 at 0632 UT, North Dakota news and ID as KFGO,
the dominant signal despite my E/W antenna, and several closer
stations. Night coverage map shows major lobe to north, minor to
south:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KFGO&service=AM&h=N
Site is just south of Fargo right on the state line = Red River with
Minnesota. Which state is it really in? per FCC:
NAD83 Coordinates: 46° 43' 04.9" N+ 096° 48' 06.3" W-
FCC shows the CITY of Fargo at: W Longitude: 96 49 45.00840, i.e.
almost 2 minutes further west than KFGO site, which makes it more
possibly in MN, but of course the River boundary is not a straight N/S
line. And what precise location in the city does that refer to, a
court house? Post office? Surely somewhere ``downtown`` or ``city
centre`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 91.5, April 11 at 2005 UT, big hum marring KSNS, 95 kW,
Medicine Lodge KS. Hum whenever I check it, certainly a transmission
defect, not reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN [non?]. 15595, April 11 at 0603, VR news in Italian, VG S9,
the SSOB by far. Registered as SMG site, 0600-0610 daily except Sun,
250 kW at 108 degrees toward ME. Once again, hard to believe that`s
accurate, putting such a huge signal thisaway unlike anything else
from Europe on band. Their antenna may be bi-direxional putting as
much signal off the back; or even reversed by accident; or it`s really
via MADAGASCAR which would be aiming thisaway across Africa (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. As of April 10: From an anonymous reliable source
about the USAGM situation: Except for possibly Grimesland/Greenville
with R. Marti, no SW or MW broadcasts are expected to resume anytime
soon. All of USAGM`s engineers and operational personnel positions
have been dissolved. Most of them have opted for deferred resignation
rather than being terminated. Unfriendly powers such as Russia/USSR,
China, North Korea, Iran et al. could not get rid of VOA and the other
services, but now our own government has accomplished that in just a
few weeks, thanks to Drumpf & Musk & Lake. RIP the 83 years of US
international radio history since VOA was founded in 1942 (Glenn
Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2290)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2289 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday April 10 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+5 direct vs S9 noise level

Also confirmed Thu Apr 10 at 1630 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001+,
S9/+10 into UTwente. ACI de 6164 RTTYditty, evitable by narrowing
AMSynch bandwidth below 8 kHz.
