** BRAZIL. 28470 USB, May 7 at 2213, PU5WMA calling CQDX in English,
working a K4. QRZ.com: ``PU5WMA Brazil flag Brazil, Marcelo Arthur
Mendes Waechter, Rua Marechal Rondon, 5051, Cascavel, PR 85813720,
Brazil`` - lots of certificates, equipment, humans illustrated (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 28193 CW, May 7 at 2204, VVV DE VE4ARM/B and more ending
with 17 or 18 E = dits. WGB list: ``28193.0 VE4ARM/B - Manitoba

have had FM DX from that area. QRZ.com: ``VE4ARM Canada flag Canada,
MANITOBA AMATEUR RADIO MUSEUM INC., C/O Johnson, Bruce Frederick, 153
Wharton BLVD, Winnipeg, MB R2Y 0S9, Canada`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28506 USB, May 7 at 2208, XQ3WD calling CQDX, working a KD9
in Indiana, etc. Lots of fading, and a non-standard fonetik for his
second letter - sounded like ``Peter``, certainly not Quebec, or even
Queen. Also was not sure whether number 2 or 3. Not in QRZ.com, but
DXheat cluster shows such a call on that frequency later that hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 87.9, May 7 at 2017 UT, deadair in $ tereo on caradio in
my neighborhood; not always on, and only sometimes musicking, RF
feeder? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 97.5, May 7 at 1651 UT, tuning caradio for Es gets `new`
fairly strong and steady $ tereo signal here, ``Classic Hits, 97-5,
KZLF``. `1702 ``all-news 97-5 KZLF``, ``tnx for all our freedoms``
plug; 1703 ``SSB`` solo by soprano YL; 1705 jingle. Was expecting
Tulsa but hardly anysigs from others 95.5 & 96.5. WTFDA FM DB shows
KZLF Alva OK, 50/50 kW, 150.0m, ``silent 10/31/24 xmtr damaged by
lightning`` -- well, it`s back! Sounds too much like Enid`s KZLS -
coincidence?

92.9, May 7 at 1653 UT, ``92-9 The Edge``, really K225BN xltr of 92.5
KOMA-HD2, 200 watts H/V at 267.7m HAAT. Nearest 92.9 competitors are
Tulsa, Wichita Falls and Osage City KS = between Emporia & Topeka.

In full bandscan these without $ tereo pilot icon: 89.3 KIEL Loyal;
90.3 KHEV Fairview; 105.1 KOSB Perry. Also 91.7 KOSU with NPR talk
daytime but $ The Spy music alterego nighttime. WTFDA FMDB has no way
of showing stations half $ /half mono but could be in remarx (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PANAMA. ``Hi Glenn! The beacon you heard from Panama on 28282.0 kHz
is actually HP1DCP/B, located in Panama City, not HP1DQP/B. It is
fairly widely heard, especially when conditions favor receptions from
Mexico and South America, like they have recently. The operator does
have a page on QRZ.com, but William Buchanan has yet to hear it, hence
it’s not in his beacon list. Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` - so I
must have miscopied C as Q. QRZ.com: ``HP1DCP Panama flag Panama, RENE

Wed May 7 at 2159, all four REEs are on, and the SAm one slightly
stronger direct than the NAm one. The other two in Arabic before
joining up for 2200 token English. Preview topix: Festival de Madrid,
cine; and sexual violence against women in Spain`s cinema and
audiovisual industries. 2201.6 news leads with Pope stuff of course;
PM speaks for first time about last week`s blackout and what caused
it; discussion whether Spain should rely more on nuclear energy. At
2219 second discussion that over 50% of Spanish women in AV/cinema
industries have experienced sexual violence = not only rape but
threats, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, May 7 at 2159, VOT not off the air, S9 but JBM?
totally unreadable direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

or splatter. George McClintock just informed me that both transmitters
are working, this one on 5920 at night, and the other one on 5085 at
night, altho 9475 in daytime is still off.

9930 at 2216 check May 7, S9+60! direct but no spurs or splatter this

** U S A. Kansas FM stations whilst seeking Es DX: 93.1, May 7 at 2020
UT, ad for People`s Bank & Trust, and for abbyvillerodeo.com. The bank
is in McPherson, NE of Hutchinson, and the rodeo - at first I thought
the were saying radio -- is west of Hutch, so it`s KHMY, My 93-1,
licensed to Pratt SW of Hutch, but operating from Hutch. Abbyville is
too insignificant to appear in my atlas map or index. KHMY is normal
fringer but had some good peaks I hoped would turn out to be Es.

94.3, May 7 at 2021 UT, financial talk with a religious angle, mono so
surely the Bott station, KCVW in Kingman. But not // 800 KQCV OKC.

WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12153-12196, May 7 at 1431, range of multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating, peaking circa 12171 at S9+5. Would make a huge
collision with WWCR 12160 after 1500 - but at 1502 recheck, WWCR only,
which of course is the OOB intruder. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. First sporadic E FM DX of season? May 7 circa 1630 UT,
map shows nexus around Memphis with NW/SE and NE/SW paths; tho a
little too close to here and E/W, worth it to tune the caradio for DX.
No IDs, but brief Es-like strong signals appeared and soon faded out:

Flight PlanningService Notices
2025-06-12 Gander
Notice of Change
Air Traffic Services (ATC/FSS)

Decommission of VOLMET Service provided by Gander International Flight
Service Station - Gander, NL

NAV CANADA, the country's provider of civil air navigation services,
conducted a review of the requirement for In-flight Meteorological
Information (VOLMET) Service provided by the International Flight
Service Station (IFSS) at Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador.

The review determined that the removal of the VOLMET service will
not
have a material impact on stakeholders and would not be a material
change to the services provided by NAV CANADA to the aircraft
transiting the Gander Oceanic Control Area (OCA).

Aviation technology has evolved to allow suitably equipped aircraft
to
acquire the required meteorological information directly from
alternate
sources. This has alleviated the need for pilots to monitor a
scheduled
VOLMET broadcast on a high frequency (HF) radio.

Aircraft not equipped to receive meteorological information via
alternate means may continue to request necessary weather updates
from
Gander IFSS via the North Atlantic (NAT) family of HF frequencies.

This change will take effect on 12 June 2025 at 0901Z Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC). The appropriate aeronautical publications will
be
amended.

For further information please contact:
NAV CANADA
Customer and Stakeholder Services
151 Slater Street
Ottawa, ON K1P 5H3
Phone: 1-800-876-4693
Email: service@navcanada.ca``

They used to be shared with New York VOLMET, and 3485 with many other
airports` 2-way. The 2-way comms frequencies for Gander in EiBi are:
2872, 2899, 3016, 3476, 4675, 5598, 5616, 5649, 6622, 8831, 8864,
8879, 8891, 8906, 8918, 11279, 11336, 13291, 13306.

Here is a comprehensive frequency list of VOLMET broadcasts worldwide:
https://dxinfocentre.com/volmet.htm

Meanwhile, the only other HF VOLMET in Canada, CHR, Trenton Military,
remains silent after another protracted spate of ``no reports
received`` on 15034, 6754 USBs. Who knows if it ever revive? IIRC,
Gander has no such ``nrr`` problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

every night I check for signs of R. Kiribati reactivated, which used

flamenco; 2201 news leading with Toledo train problems, power failure?
no food; investigation of last week`s blackout (Glenn Hauser, OK,

weak sigs direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785 & 9875, May 5 at 2200, NO signals from VOT English
direct; nor at 2231 into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.007+, May 6 at 2156, VOT not off the air, S9/+10 into
UTwente but just barely modulated, with IS? At 2215 same S9+10 with
flutter. Into UTwente at 2225 when measured, with music, mod seems
sufficient. 2253 s/off as if it`s 1230 on 17620, awry at Ankara, and
IS to 2256* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, May 5 at 2215, WTWW is S9+50 with TOMBS, and this time
no spurs plus/minus 12.9 kHz, other transmitter? Then I find 9475
*also* on with S9+50 of dead air with spur such as 9487.9, but off at
2216*. Circa 2245 George McClintock informs me that a visiting
consultant has got the 9475/5085 transmitter on the air, so it`s
expected to be running both from now on, 9930/5920 with TOMBS and
9475/5085 with Ancient Word Radio, including WORLD OF RADIO UT
Saturday 0300. The cost for getting tubes rebuilt has almost tripled.
However, at 2339 recheck neither 9475 nor 5085 is on. And at 0113 May
6, only 5920 is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, May 6 at 2158, WTWW with TOMBS and heavy splatter
above and below; usual discrete parasitic spurs at 9917.1 and 9942.9,
and for first time, two more at double the ~12.9 displacement!
Definitely on 9904.2, and weaker 9955.8: QRMing WRMI 9955.0! Contrary
to yesterday`s expectations, other transmitter still missing from 9475
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, May 6 at 0628, WRNO on late with hymn in English,
S9/+5. Totally unpredictable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1360, May 6 at 0638 UT, Spanish talk and song dominate,
seems religious; and CCI from Mexmx. Mainly probably KTNZ Amarillo TX,
U4 6000/320, and the other could be KGMR Clarksville AR, U1 500/98 or
KMNY Hurst TX, U4 50000/890 watts. Note this May 2 via IRCA:

``KMNY Dallas FW running full 50Kw day power, this night May 2nd 0800

QRZ.com: ``CX7AM Uruguay flag Uruguay, MARIA ELSA TORRES MOGNASCHI,
GALICIA 1469, MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay`` - did not sound like a YL; of
course, not every María in Spanish is female; sure of callsign
fonetikaly. See also CHILE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, May 6 at 0633, R. Vanuatu in English about
inflation; or rather Bislama resorting to lots of English words, S3/S4
but clearer than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. ``Hi Glenn, Re: "UNIDENTIFIED. 630.04 approx., May 5 at

UNIDENTIFIED. 9936.0, May 6 at 0630, open carrier at S3 but with clix
at the steady rate of 22/minute, and also detectable out to 9927/9945.
At this hour no SWBC stations in the way. Yet another of these
mysteries always ending in 6. Almost identically logged earlier:

``UNIDENTIFIED. 9936.0 AM, March 15 at 0618 UT, S8/S9 open carrier
except for clix, at the rate of 20/minute = every 3 seconds, JBA out
to 9923/9950, +/- 13 or 14 kHz. What is this? Yet another one ending
in -6`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 87.9, May 5 at 2010 UT, Mexmx fading in and out on
caradio in Enid, probably RF feeder for entertainment of
huespedobreros. Later at different spot had dead air in $ tereo, maybe
two separate transmitters. No sporadic E shown on the maps (Glenn

Emirler about status of American antenna due to problems with 11785,
7275. There is a new technical manager. No change since last week, no
repairs posssible, apparently ground too wet to bring in heavy
equipment like crane to work on it. [Again I say nothing seems wrong
with antenna *when* it is on the air - gh]. 1) Hemming? new listener

** U S A. 5932.9, May 5 at 0348, spur from 5920 WTWW, barely
detectable in sideband of 5935 WWCR, but the match on minus side of
5920, approx. 5907.185 is obvious. Same situation as heard elsewhen
parasiting 5085, 9930. Furthermore there is splatter matching mod
peaks of TOMBS on 5920, NOT 5890 WWCR unsynchronized TOMBS, splatter
peaking around 5980 but audible up to 6020, and as close to 5890 as
5895 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, May 5 at 1514, open carrier at S9+30 cutting off and
on past 1516. By 1535 constant music of traditional hymns, and NOT //
9980 TOMBS on WWCR, and 1541 ID as ``5085, Ancient Word Radio on
WTWW``. Bob Biermann is very confused about frequencies; or rather
WTWW is testing with canned IDs, frequently between hymns as 9475 &
5085, especially at hourtops 1559 & 1659. 1700 into `Truth2Ponder`. So
is WTWW`s one funxional transmitter now dedicated to Biermann instead
of Stair? But at 1706 recheck 9930 is back to TOMBS, while 9980 WWCR
has gone off. Yes, 9930 now // not synchronized TOMBS on 9395 WRMI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, May 5 at 0342, WLC Radio on WBCQ is finally on, S9+50
in English, after missing a couple days whenever sought (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, May 5 at 0241, S9+30 of dead air, but just a pause as
soon gospel huxter on WMLK, S9+30, much stronger than neighbour in
more ways than one, 9265 WINB at only S9+20/30; and WMLK fails to
provide any spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 670, May 5 at 0403 UT, NO WSCR Chigago! rather
Cuban music, but WSCR may be on with open carrier. Meanwhile, 720 WGN
and 780 WBBM are VG as usual; WBBM pretends to be an FM-only station.
At 0409 also audible a very weak station in English, could be KLTT CO
or KBOI ID. By 0607 recheck, WSCR has resumed modulating stupid sports
talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 750, May 5 at 0608 after CBS news, WSB`s AM dog wagged by
95.5 FM tail, lacks any QRM from KMMJ Spanish gospel Nebraska, not
cheating with nocturnal emissions now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 630.04 approx., May 5 at 0406, low audible het = LAH
against 630.0 stations. MWoffsets has nothing further off than 630.006
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1240+, May 5 at 0359 UT, het on plus side of 1240
Graveyard pileup, presumably perennial KCRT Trinidad CO (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1476 kHz, Mon May 5 at 0357, JJBBA carrier, only 9/kHz
TA one in careful full MW bandscan direct, surely TWR BENIN, with its
low-latitude advantage, per MWlist from 0320 M-F in Hausa, 150 to 200
kW. I wonder if it be direxional favoring Nigeria, disfavoring us
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1540-, May 5 at 0359 UT, het against 1540.0 signals, no
doubt usual KGBC Galveston TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1550-, May 5 at 0359 UT, JBA het against 1550.0 signals,
presumably XEREL Morelia, Michoacán, México (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11540 approx., May 5 at 0338, multiple tones mixing like
several CW signals on almost same frequency, narrowband unlike the
wideband unIDs I report. This is the SSOB as there are *no* broadcast
signals audible on 25m except for JBA 12050 Spanish, i.e. WEWN (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, May 4 at 1437, dead air from RHC in Spanish is the
SSOB, S9/S7, rivaled only by 15770 WRMI S9 fading to S5. Something`s
always wrong at RHC; if only they could manage to modulate (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. Replies to my inquiry whether anyone has heard any R. Cairo
lately?:

Zacharias Liangas, Greece via some remote: ``my yesterdays log with
better than usual sound:
9899.97 Egypt 1755 that time -60 quite audible, buzzy with -3 and 2
string, Clock 1757 (???) then with man talking in Arabic, news``

Alan Roe, Teddington, UK: ``Hi Glenn, I did log R. Cairo's Russian
service on 2 May at 1925 on 9890 (with Arabic music, Egypt's National
Anthem at 1930, followed by presumed news). Audio poor, as usual, but
probably understandable if I could speak Russian``

So Sun May 4 at 1815 I check UTwente for R. Cairo scheduled:
9899.955+, S9+15/25 undermodulated, presumed Turkish, but nothing on
9470 Italian. There is a one-hour overlap with Turkish 17-19, Italian
18-19 - can they ever be on two frequencies at once? At 19-20 sked on
9410 German, 9890 Russian. At 1900*, 9900 goes off and soon on
9889.958 instead, S9+20/35 with Qur`an in presumed Russian service,
but nothing on 9410 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, May 4 at 0621, WBCQ/WLCR still off, while e.g. 9395
WRMI is S9+30. What`s wrong? Was also missing May 3. Still off at 1441
May 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, May 4 at 1440, WTWW already on with TOMBS, S9+50 with
+/- 12.9 kHz parasitic spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13845, May 4 at 1440 direct and 1514 into Maryland SDR, NO
WWCR signal here, while 12160 is S9+10. 13845 WWCR-3 is supposedly
12-24 UT, daytime counterpart of 4840 which was nominal last night.
12160 is audible S9+10 into Maryland SDR. It always has an MUF
advantage here, but 13845 should exhibit at least a trace if on. By
1945 check it is audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
