** ANTARCTICA. 15476, June 27 at 1945, no signal from LRA36 into
Argentine SDRs; Manuel Méndez, Spain was notified they planned to be
back on today from 1800, but also a no-show for him and Zach Liangas
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Thu June 27 at 0705, RNZP news, VG but slightly
stronger on // 13690; perhaps part of weekly testing, two transmitters
at once; including the new one? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 1020, June 27 at 0708 UT, talking about Pittsburgh,
so indeed KDKA is audible again tnx to KOKP Perry blown off the air
last night. A minor 250-watt station but too close to here; maybe KDKA
still audible in much of the country (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Thu June 27 at 0607 and still 0710, WTWW with S9+20/30
of dead air instead of Brother Scare. Keeps happening like once a
week, no one at station paying attention (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Sporadic E FM DX opening, June 27 at 0246-0337 UT;
still researching. Due to area tropo also up, a number of `spoilers`
turned out to be nearby rather than farby (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 25700, June 27 at 1410, JBA carrier: I`ve been trying to
detect this which is BBC Hausa via SMG, 1400-1430 M-F only. Still
haven`t heard 25800 Denmark lowpower; BBC 25900 was audible around
1600 in B-season, but now only 1200-1230 French via Madagascar (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, June 26 at 0148, no signal from R. Progreso, but 5025,
R. Rebelde is on. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. The Other
Side:

``Covert castigation: violations of the right to health in Cuban
prisons ---
While ordinary prisoners' health is compromised by 'indifference and
indolence, political prisoners are victims' of 'systematic attacks' on
their health through conditions of isolation, and illnesses, explains
Juan Carlos González Leyva.
Raúl Medina Orama, Lima, 25 Jun 2024 - 18:01 CEST

Magalis González turns on the camera on her cell phone to post her
umpteenth complaint on social media about the health of her son,
Ismael Rodríguez González. The young man, sentenced to seven years in
prison in Cuba for the massive protests in July 2021 (11-J) lies near
her, dazed and with swollen feet, after arriving from the Guanajay
Penitentiary, west of Havana, where he is serving his sentence...``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 11610, June 25 at 1830, VOA Amharic this hour
via Woofferton UK is being jammed by buzzing and beeping noises, but
at UTwente, that`s underneath VOA. Tnx to tip from Paul Walker. At
1840, no jamming audible into TWR Kenya remote. By 1915 when language
is Oromo, jamming level is heavier as heard by UTwente. Why would
Ethiopia be so concerned about VOA? Of course the Amharix and Oromos
don`t get along. Recorded sample of jamming right after VOA went off
at 1929; maybe will put into WOR 2249 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 105.1, June 25 at 2322, KOSB Perry is MONO, not shown as
such in WTFDA FMDB. ``Triple Play Sports`` also on AM 1020 & 1580. And
running a commercial for ``University of Maryland, Global Campus``, of
all things, in OSU territory.

However, at 2030 check June 26, 105.1 is OFF, likely another victim of
last night`s windstorm / powerlines down. And at 2043, I notice that
its AM companion, 1020 KOKP is also off! Maybe we can hear KDKA again
tonight if not RVC Roswell. Third 3-play outlet, 1580 KOKB Blackwell
is still ON. I thought they operated out of Stillwater but NRC AM Log
shows Ponca City address for 1020 & 1580, the latter being close to
PC. Trying to check whether 105.1 and 1020 are at same site, but FCC
AM Query can`t find KOKP! As if it have been deleted. LMS can, but not
the page with coordinates. All three are licensed until 2029y.

Since the WTFDA FM DB editors apparently don`t pay attention to my
reports, I have notified them directly about this mono and others
confirmed this year by monitoring: in OK: KIEL 89.3, KFXI 92.1, KOSU
91.7 =50/50; KS: KCVW 94.3; TX: KTCK 96.7; Mexico: XHMYL 92.1. And
just now at 2030 June 26, I notice two more monos: KHEV 90.3, Fairview
OK; and 100.9, K265FL, Enid, talkradio translator tail wagging the dog
of 960 KGWA. KQCV 95.1 Shawnee is another Bott station, likely to be
mono too? Yes! at 2308 fadeups vs KICT Wichita which is $ tereo, the
100/100 kW KQCV signal is definitely mono.

95.3, the KOKC translator in OKC, K237GE, is in $ tereo, talk station
might as well be mono for slightly more effective coverage. Would you
believe that the WTFDA FMDB shows its antenna height as 0 meters
HAAT?? It must really be way up on some TV tower to reach as far as
Enid reliably with 250 watts. FCC FM Query also shows 0 m HAAT, but
658 m AMSL and 314 m AGL, with a link to Calculate HAAT: that
``results`` in 302 m -- that`s 990 feet. If our LP CP on 95.1 come on,
will put an end to it around here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, June 26 circa 1500 and still at 2359 UT, NO signal
from KTBO ``14``, Trinity in OKC. Must have been blown off air by huge
hurricane-force straight winds/not tornadic storm hitting OKC area
late last night, many power lines down in addition to building
damages. KTBO also missing from Optimum cable ch 3 in Enid: unlikely
to have relied on off-air pickup, so TBN damage may be more than just
transmitter/antenna. All other OKC TV signals back to `normal` levels
except RF 29 KTUZ, weakened but still sufficient. Nothing recent on
KTBO website, let alone any damage report!
https://www.tbn.org/stations/ktbo-tv-oklahoma-city-ok
God got`em, but not the secular competitors.

KFOR, KOCO, KWTV and KOKH all went full-storm coverage pre-empting at
least late-night network shows. CBS Colbert, a rerun anyway, could be
found on shunt station KSBI ``52`` on RF 23. No doubt each station`s
website has much about the storm; damage repair expected to take quite
some time. Thousands of customers are without power as temps exceed
100. Enid was missed by this but eastern part of Garfield County also
had outages, as well as many other counties eastward and southward
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
June 25 at 2336 the 2330 on WRMI 9395, S7/9+5, -58 Hz into Peoria SDR,
but calibration is way off showing WWV on 10000 -62 Hz, so WRMI really
on 9395.004!

Also confirmed Tuesday June 25 at 2337 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
3975.001, S9+5 into UTwente and almost synchro with WRMI.

Also confirmed Wednesday June 25 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.000+, S9+5/10 into UTwente, and about 3 words behind on 3975.003,
S9/+5.

Also confirmed Wednesday June 26 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -69 Hz =
7489.931, S5/S8 into Maryland SDR. Next:

** ALGERIA. 17600, June 25 at 0706, Ifrikya FM, S1/S3 in French but
almost readable, SSOB surprisingly and especially since hardly
anything is propagating on 15 MHz band. Much of the daytime, 17600 has
been JBA here. Used to include some 5 minutes in English sometime
during the 06-07 & 18-19 UT hours, not caught recently (Glenn Hauser,

** VANUATU. 9960, June 25 at 0657, in bandscan direct, tune-in just in
time to hear an S1/S3 signal here, YL talking, sounds like French, but
cuts off at 0658*; back on briefly and off again to stay. This is a
formerly used R. Vanuatu frequency, nothing else scheduled now, so
surely this explains why 7260 is no longer heard before 0700, as I had
just reconfirmed a few minutes earlier. But are they moving to 7260
after 0700? NO, still nothing. 3945 is again being reported as the
next frequency, but still lacking the helpful harmonix 7890 & 11835 it
used to provide. 0700 is too early for me to get 3945 if on, and the
harmonix are still suppressed. Other reports:

``Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec, 3945 kHz, R. Vanuatu, VUT; 06/25, 0928-0937
YL, OM. 35333, 7890, 11835 off/inaudible (LOB). Tecsun 310ET, Dipole
18m, Embu SP Brasil``

Wolfgang Bueschel: ``9959.998 kHz, two radio signals here on that
channel at 0624 UT, probably R Vanuatu, Pacific radio program. S=9+5dB
on Edmonton, AB-CAN``

EiBi still shows 9960 but at 2300-0458 only. Then 7260 at 0458-1105 &
1959-2259; but also 3945 at 0458-1105 & 1845-1959.

Aoki shows 3945 at 0600-1000 & 1900-2000; 5040 at 2000-2400; 5055 at
2100-0100; 7260 at 0000-0559; and no others.

Yet different info in HFCC: the very first entry is VUT on 2485 at
1000-1900; 3945 at 0600-1100 & 1900-2000; 5040 at 2100-0100; 7260 at
2000-0700; 9960 at 2300-0700; all daily for the entire A24 season. RNZ
has filed those frequencies for them as they also do for Solomon
Islands. Vanuatu have only one 10 kW transmitter, so much of these
skeds must be taken as possible alternatives (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, June 25 at 0154, RHC in English with good signal; not
on 11950 now but Jon Collins, Birmingham UK reported at 0020:
``listening to radio habana cuba on 11950 khz in english from 00:00
utc, very strong reception with very good audio etc but yl reading the
news speaks too quickly. Tecsun pl-660+15 mtr long wire`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday June 24 at 2200, token English from SNR,
S9+10/20 direct; also detectable on 17715, 15520 but not 15390 which
for Africa is always weakest here. First news item about the tragedy
of Melilla, when thousands of migrants mostly from Sudan were killed
trying to get into that enclave next to Morocco. 2220 interview about
researching the Spanish civil war. 2227 outro, has been with Nigel
Thompson, author of new Penguin book, ``Modern History of Spain``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.000, June 23 at *2200, VOT carrier cuts on a few sex
late, no modulation, S9/+5 into UTwente and not the usual .009 offset,
but cuts off at 2202* and never comes back for rest of hour. So much
for English to us and the Letterbox show. Should have checked previous
accidental alternates 11795 & 9875. Another anomaly followed UT June
24: JRX in Brasil heard them in unscheduled Portuguese after 0000 on
9870, test?; which is sked for Spanish at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.010, June 24 at 2200, JBA carrier direct if it`s VOT;
but a few minutes later it`s S9/+10 but still insuff. vs noise level.
Into UTwente at 2218 when measured, S9+40/50 about Turkey`s solar
energy capacity. 2226 music. 2230 multi-lingual ID filler reel, music.
2237 `That`s Why` with Ms Badax, something about paradoxes,
contradixions, lying, logic. 2242 music. 2247 ``always-by-your-side``
promo. 2248 music. 2253 s/off by OM ignoring SW. 2253.4 IS to chopoff
at 2255.2* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9870.005, June 24 at 2355, VOT IS, S9+25/35 into UTwente,
with ACI until it`s off at 2356*, presumably CRI 9865 Urumqi. And at
2256 restart IS with Portuguese IDs; hard to understand, but seems
like ``Ouvem a TRT, Voz de Túrkiye`` [not Turquia, stress on the i].
JRX in Brasil heard this test? broadcast last night and we are
rechecking. Some modulation dropouts. 0000 UT June 25, S/on with
lengthy satellite parameters, 5-digit MHz frequencies, symbol rates,
etc., for a broadcast at 22h Turkish time, I think. At the very end
also mentioned SW 9870, time not copied, but presumably now and an
intentional broadcast before the 01-02 Spanish on same, rather than
accidental. Does not start with news, rather music, and very little
talk during hour. 0027 multi-lingual ID filler reel like during
English. 0034 `That`s Why` theme, now titled ``Por que``? YL announcer
with Luso not Braso accent, and JRX finds her Turkish accent makes it
harder to understand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring: UT Sat June 22:
``I was passing through the 5-MHz band [5085] when I noticed that WTWW

Glenn's voice with "World of Radio" in progress. I already listened to
the latest episode via podcast, but by 0414 UTC, Glenn was talking
about New Zealand and then Oklahoma as the program progressed through
the episode.
The episode was done at 0428 UTC, followed by a religious song, a
couple of transmitter interruptions mid-song at 0430 UTC, then off for
good a moment later. The signal was down to SINPO 35333 before
sign-off. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington``

Confirmed Sunday June 23 at 2027 the 2000 on WRN Europe webcast, but
not on the 2000 WRMI webcast only: rather, music fill; did WOR start
and cut off early or not at all? These timings have been problematic.
Still on skedgrid, and Wavescan started OK at 2030.

Confirmed Sunday June 23 at 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001,
S8/9+10, and 3975.002, S9/+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday June 23 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+15/20 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+15 into
Querétaro SDR.

NOT confirmed UT Monday June 24 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.931,
S9/+10 into NH SDR. Instead, 0301 ID and nothing but rock music, no
announcements, until 0400 ID and turnover to TOMBS!

Larry Will explains: ``I was away this weekend and the automation
system failed to pick up JPL {Johnny Lightning?} for some reason. This
cascaded into the later programming as well. I apologize for the
non-airing. Lw``

Also confirmed Monday June 24 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, into

** U S A. 5130v, June 23 at 2358, NO signal from this WBCQ into
Maryland SDR. Seems it has not come back since activated with a
stronger transmitter for `AAAWWW` UT June 22 until 0100. ``No *rump
none of the time``  --- I`m for that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: SW100 transmitter update from George McClintock, June
23: ``Glenn, I have just removed the 4 loading inductors (coils) from
the Harris SW100 number 3 transmitter and placed them in cleaning
vinegar. After washing, they are ready to be put back into place.
These coils were so dirty that the motors were having a difficult time
moving them. I had to put a voltage regulator in that had been removed
and the wires tied together by the previous engineer. The high voltage
power supply is working well. We are getting ready to bring the Harris
SW100 transmitter up in the very near future.`` (via Glenn Hauser,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, June 24 at 0635, RV is gone again, no signal. I did
not check for other frequencies but he did: ``[WOR] R. Vanuatu on 3945
kHz --- Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec --- Hi all, 3945 kHz, R. Vanuatu, VUT;
06/24, 0934. 7260, 7890 and 11835 off/inaudible. OM 25422 (LOB).
Tecsun PL 310ET, Dipole 18m, Embu SP Brasil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, June 24 at 0639, JBA music, presumed Estación
4940. Usually nothing there around this hour, but surely this when
there be; has been quite erratic. Much earlier into Bonaire SDR but
unlogged, it had a VG signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 28290, June 24 at 2127, JBA carrier direct when there is
nothing else on 10m. I could report countless unID carriers, but
mostly internal birdies landing on odd split frequencies. This one
could be third harmonic of 9430 - but nothing listed anywhen there by
Aoki or EiBi. Let this anyway serve as a reminder to be alert for such
harmonix especially on higher bands when propagation opens up (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
