** BRAZIL. 9665v, June 17 at 0418, S9+10 in Brazuguese so RVM is on again past local midnight. Has been varying less away from nominal lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 15785, June 17 at 0434, S3/S5 seems English, i.e. CRI via Xianyang 59 site, 500 kW at 354 degrees, from east-central China, almost due north targeting Siberia, why? Also English at 0437 on 17840, i.e. CRI Beijing site also for Russia, why? Anyhow, 16m is full of signals mostly weaker than this, tnx to the Solsticial Midnight Sun, too late to chase them all down. Surely all from Hemisphere East -- or almost, as Woofferton, Noblejas, Bechar and Bamako are a bit West of Greenwich Meridian. But also 13m on 21530, 21570, 21800, mostly CNR1 jammers. Also at 0439, algo on 18985 and weaker 18970 - the latter CNR1 jammer/SOH, the former unlisted. By 1500 UT, in broad sunlight, however, hardly anything on 16m except a bit of WRMI 17790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 4765, June 17 at 0411, R. Progreso still on with music, S9+30 but undermodulated. Sked supposedly only until local midnight, *0030-0400*. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Always seemed strange such a limited sked, rather than reaching for 24h like sibling 5025 R. Rebelde, first among equals, but which is gone again now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, June 17 at 0414, RHC strong but JBM, intonation seems more like Spanish than English. 15230, June 17 at 0432, this RHC on late, S9+10 but suptorted, definitely in English; without a second receiver at hand, can`t confirm whether // 6000. 15230, of course is never a scheduled English frequency. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, June 17 at 0419, S9+40 of dead air, obviously RHC intermittent frequency, when active turned off sometime after 0400 whenever they get around to it. Something`s always wrong at rHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 1570 kHz, UT Monday June 17 at 0410, Spanish dominating, presumably XERF, in weekly `La Hora Nacional`, fed govt must-carry hour weekly Sundays at 10 pm local = 0400 UT Mondays since DST has been dismissed in Mex. Quick check of 1050 XEG, maybe also LHN, but not //, or at least not synchronized. And 6185? Marimba music, R. Educación with something else. Need further chex. Also XERF may be on CDT bleeding over the border? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. [Continued from USA] Sporadic E FM DX: After 0000 UT June 18, DXMAP shows more likely across central USA, but the car is in use elsewhere. ASAP, I`m back at the dial, starting immediately with: 88.1 at 0025, Spanish talkshow overriding Okies, political about recent elexions, obviously Mexican. At 0034, non ID as ``88.1 FM`` -- we knew that already, and only that!, and adstring including Soriana. No local clues. There are 16 XH on 88.1 in the WTFDA FMDB, two of them with 88.1 in their slogan, but not all by itself. However, PTA is CDMX as in the only other simullog in this session, XEQ below. In that case, likely on 88.1 is XHRED-FM 95/95 kW, slogan listed as ``La Octava`` -- alluding to the eights in its MHz? 92.9 at 0028, Spanish ads and PSAs, two stations mixing; fading in and out; 0029 one of them IDs as ``La Ke Buena, 92.9``. Shortly news including about San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, a suburb of Monterrey; there is one 92.9 elsewhere in NL. 0036 sped up hi-pitched funny voice taking calls. All gone by 0041. In this case for sure it`s XEQ-FM, CDMX, 79.07/79.07 kW, the only Mex in the DB with Buena in its slogan: and yes, they insist on spelling it Ke instead of Qué. 1890 km/1174 stmi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, June 17 at 1950 UT, *still* dead air in $ tereo into caradio, but much weaker than usual; on the way to zero kW too? Now 96+ hours into this futility first noted June 13, from KIMY Watonga. Streaming still worx via website and a whole buncha platforms, so who cares about 93.9? Map https://www.thegospelstation.com/ shows a buncha other FM outlets around OK and TX panhandle, AR and TN. Radio-locator mentions only one, the long-gone 93.1 in Enid. HQ address in Ada OK, with 105.1, but which is a mere 75-watt translator of KTGS 88.3, which is 5.5/5.5 kW in Tishomingo OK. That must really be the net`s originator, calls matching slogan (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) See also USA: FMDX ** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, June 17 circa 1530 UT, BAD signal or breaking up from ION in OKC, ``62`` KOPX-TV, unusual. Unless underpowered, would be DX QRM: some area tropo on APRS map, but no sign of DX on any other `open` channel. So what other 18s are there around here? per FCC TV Query, in OK, only four translators in Grandfield, Hollis, Seiling, Strong City. In KS, only one LD, in Liberal. I give up at this point rather than delving into other adjacent states, NM, TX, AR, MO; let alone almost-adjacent CO, LA. Virtual 62-5 only is of interest with Scripps News, ex-Newsy which is deliberately uncabled (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11740, June 17 at 0422, S9+20/30 of heavy beat rock. EiBi shows RRI Galbeni in Romanian hour for S Europe; plus French at 0500-0530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sunday June 16 at 2159, VOT English not off the air, S9+40/45 into UTwente; not checked direct. News with periodic theme sounders to remind us it`s news, altho surely it`s olds, recorded not later than 1245 UT. Then `Weekly Analysis` about the PKK terrorists until 2224, ``Always-by-your-side`` ptomo, and start `Letterbox`. As usual, host is totally unprepared, letter after letter from same listeners in India. Almost everyone is requesting QSLs. Also one offers a Buddhist prayer. Ralf Urbanski from Germany. One Indian reports on 7275, which is the N American frequency at 0300. . Andrei Kuznetsov, who must be Russian, but in Riga ``Letonia``, i.e. Latvia. Host finally spells his name, Halil Sarikaya, which means yellow rock. Get rid of that dot on the i in surname! Lady who sends QSLs doesn`t speak English, and is way off somewhere else in the vast TRT buildings: says 6000 work in Ankara and 4000 more elsewhere; have lots of dining rooms, sports facilities for staff. Then from Ricky Hines, again! Somewhere in USA and won`t give his postal address [South Dakota]. Halil wishes he could stop smoking and doesn`t like to be reminded of health risks, like for World anti-Tobacco Day every May 31. Someone makes Eid wishes. Finally someone from Poland. 2247 time`s up, I love you all, Goodbye. 2248.5 song which goes into spoken word, wonder about what? Then 2252 L`Box outro=intro. 2253 Ms Badax {Efsun Duri Elgeler, per Alan Holder} s/off as if 17620 at 1230. 2254 IS *almost once* and chopoff, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 13810, June 17 at 0425, M&M conversation in very gutteral language not Arabic, S9+30/40 and the SSOB: because it`s MADAGASCAR with BBC Somali M-F at 0400-0430 per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed Sunday June 16 at 2000 on WRN Europe webcast, and WRMI webcast-only. Also confirmed Sunday June 16 at 2157 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, S7/S9 on 3975.004, and S9/+10 on 6160.002. Also confirmed Sunday June 16 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+10/25 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday June 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+5 and noisy into Georgia; worse S7/S9 into Querétaro; best S7/9+10 into Maurice, Louisiana. Also confirmed UT Monday June 17 from 0300.8 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.930, S9+5/15 into NH SDR. Also confirmed Monday June 17 at 1956 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany into UTwente, S9+10/20 on 6160.000, S9+5/10 on 3975.004. Next: 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 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. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. By MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Monday June 17 at 0410, WTWW is already off again on Sunday night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130+v, June 17 at 0413, WBCQ A*ATT is still not off the air, JBA direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, June 17 at 0428, S9+10/20 open carrier: must be WMLK, so I may hear their sign-on at 0430 since it`s not a Sabbathday: NOT! still dead air past 0430 and at next check 0443. Per EiBi & Aoki supposed to start at 0400. Does a human being turn it on and never notice there be no modulation? Or is it all automated, zzz? Are you there/wake up, operating engineer Gary A. McAvin per WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Finally a sporadic E FM DX opening now at the peak? of the season; standard boilerplate applies about my methods and objectives of DXing. All times and dates strictly UT, June 17: 90.1 at 2127 UT, I have KUCO classical music in the backgroud on the DX-392 when it`s overcome by a pledge drive from WGCU; 2130 ATC, 2132 cut to WGCU news about Fort Myers. It`s only 4.4/4.4 kW. Then I head for the caradio! 1866 km/1160 stmi 93.1 at 2137, 2154, 2204, dead air in $ tereo as I have been hearing lately, maybe not Es, but like Es, it fades out completely between full-quieting peaks. If it`s a FL PTA as above, there are only two full-powers in state, WFEZ Miami, 98/98 kW; and WKRO-FM Port Orange, 24.5./24.5 kW, way up next to Daytona Beach. Is anyone aware of a deadair 93.1 anywhere? From listings in WTFDA and Radio-locator, you might conclude 93.1 be merely K226BR, Enid, 250/250 watt translator of KIMY 93.9. It`s been off the air for years! In May *2013* I said it had been gone for a few weeks; but apparently still licensed, and its dead air would correlate with the deadair on KIMY, but hardly a constant local signal. Only other Okies on 93.1 are KWLB Red Oak 19.5/19.5 kW, but way off in the SE near Wilburton; and K226CW, 170/170 watt translator in Stillwater, of KOKP 1020, Perry, Triple Play Sports. Now that could be it. Stillwater: 80/50 93.5 at 2140, ``Revolution 9-3-5``, i.e. WBGF Belle Glade FL, 24/24 kW. Alludes to dance format, not politix! 1950/1212 94.5 at 2142, hard rock on a frequency `open` for DX, not much around here. The three full-powers in FL are WARO Naples 99/99 kW, classic rock; WFLF-FM Parker 100/100 kW, rock; and WCFB Daytona Beach 97.5/100 kW, urban AC. Naples is the one closest to 93.5 Belle Glade, 2 minutes ago and to Ft Myers, 1 minute later. Parker is allegedly near Pánama City, way up in the panhandle per map key altho I don`t see it. Naples: 1902/1182 95.3 at 2143, rock, ``95-3 The Beach``: that`s WOLZ Fort Myers, 79/79 kW. 1866/1160 103.5 at 2148, ``Power 103.5``, fakeout, is merely KVSP Anadarko OK. Despite a hot summer afternoon, I`m also faked out by above average, near-local levels from Ponca and Wichita on 98.7, 99.3, 104.7. 99.3 at 2145, Spanish vs KLOR Ponca City, with a 1-800 number so likely USA station. This could well be WWCN, Fort Myers Beach, 45/45 kW. In the PTA and the only 99.3 FL SS. 1868/1161 92.7 at 2152, mention US1 and Key West ad: so it`s WEOW 100/100 kW. 2022/1256 After a break, I check again at 2312, but no Es DX. Continued at: MEXICO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 17 at 0630, JBA signal signifying that VBTC is back on air after 5 nights absent; as Ron Howard reports: ```[WOR] Update - Radio Vanuatu --- Hi Glenn - Have received a quick reply to my email inquiring what is currently happening with his station being off the air. Greatly appreciate him taking the time to get back to me so quickly! Ron (California). His response (2040 UT, June 16): ``Hi Ron, Thanks, we had an issue with a power cut but it is ok now. We thank you for always listening to us. I will let our radio team know that they have a regular listener from the States. Thanks, Cordialement/ Regards, Warren Robert Senior Technical Officer/Responsible Superieur des Services Technique VBTC Technical Services/Services Technique SRTV Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation/ Société de Radio diffusion et Television du Vanuatu signature_4274078875 PMB 9049, Rue du Capitaine Blight, Port Vila VANUATU Tel: (+678) 22 999 Mob: (+678) 7109401/5257762 Skype: warren.robert_1 www.vbtc.vu````` Searching `Capitaine Blight` indicates that Capt. Bligh, of Bounty Mutiny fame, is often misspelt, or respelt? in linx to Tahiti, etc. Nice of the Vanuatuans to name a rue for him, almost? Later Ron reports: ``7260, R. Vanuatu, 0625-0740 UT, on June 17. Happiness is finding this station back on the air after a short absence! Fairly heavy QRN/static`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0228 UT June 18

** BRAZIL. 9665v, June 16 circa 0640, still no signal from RVM; how about their others, 11750v and 5940v? Brasília SDR gets them all at 1740, screaming gospel huxter in Brazuguese: 5939.997, much stronger on 9665.016 and 11749.847; however, Wolfgang Büschel reported via remotes earlier on June 16: ``re Brazil, yes monitoring Rádio Voz Missionária at 0545 UT reveals no txion on air on SW channels this morning, 5940v, 9665v, nor 11749v kHz on air at present``. Maybe RVM have merely deliberately ceased running all-night 24 hours? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27185, June 16 at 0356, Enid CB pirate relay of `K-Love` still going from 5 hours ago, but different trio of frequencies, not measured exactly this time: 27185 is overmodulated/distorted, but also circa 27225 weaker but clearer, and 27265 at ~40 kHz intervals plus, instead of 20-kHz intervals to the minus side of 27185; why? One more check at 0637: 27225 S9 with OK modulation, 27185 still distorted, and no third frequency (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, June 16 at 1649, KIMY Watonga, STILL dead air in $ tereo, now 70 hours since first noted June 13. Standard derision (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) {correcting a time in previous report; replace with:} ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 15 at 2210, NO signal direct from VOT English; nor even unto UTwente checked at 2220, nor on previous/possible accidental/alternates, 11795 or 9875. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed Saturday June 15 at 2314 the 2300 on WTWW 9475, S9+20/30 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed UT Sunday June 16 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S9/+15 into Missouri SDR and with Cuban pulse jamming, which I deeply resent. Also confirmed UT Sunday June 16 from 0306 on WA0RCR, 1860, MO, S9+10/22 into nearby SDR but with some storm crashes, earlier than nominal 0315v. Also confirmed Sunday June 16 from a few sex before 1900 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz only, S9+12 into nearby Noale SDR. Now WOR starts on time instead of after a 3-minute Verdi piece they used to play after signing off SW 7290. So WOR should play intact until 1929. Next: 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 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. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. By MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sunday June 16 at 0403, WTWW is off already. Thought they were running until 0430 nightly, maybe only weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130.186, June 16 at 0404, whoopee! This WBCQ is reactivated for first time since last heard May 11, or definitely off as of May 14. Talking but buried in high storm noise level direct, probably again `All *rump All The Time`. Yes, that`s it, better reception to PEI SDR at 0454 which shows 5130.161, correctly calibrated to within 1 Hz of WWV 5000.000. At 0458 into NH SDR much better S7/S9 at 5130.158, also accurately calibrated. Presumably again attempting to run 24/7. June 16 at 1525, JBA into nearby NH SDR, S3/S5 on 5130.246v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9955, UT Sunday June 16 at 0643, WRMI S9+25 in Spanish about El Salvador, as we now know from 24 hours earlier, news from R. Francia Internacional, atop pulse jamming. Godforbid Cubans should be allowed to hear this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 3954.998, June 15 at 2300, last chance to hear this month`s `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, mostly music enjoyable from Haiti and cohabitant of Hispaniola, Dominican Republic, via Channel 292, GERMANY, S9+5/15 into UTwente; improved somewhat during the hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 16 at 0640, R. Vanuatu still absent, fifth night in a row. Ron Howard agrees: ``R. Vanuatu, 0715+ UT, June 16. Off the air during random checking of all their known frequencies, just as Glenn has reported; email sent again to Warren Robert, senior technical officer`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 93.9, June 16 at 1649 UT as I start caradio bandscan for Es FM DX going on all around here, turn on already tuned here to hear some Spanish trying to break thru dead air in $ tereo, STILL from KIMY - but in next 23 minutes not a bit of Es anywhere, and 93.9 SS was most likely fringe KZRD Dodge City KS. Also at 1651 briefly dead air in $ tereo on 93.1, maybe DX since as soon as that`s gone not much signal from my usual fringer in KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1949 UT June 16

** BRAZIL [non]. 9665v, June 15 circa 0630, NO signal from RVM. If anything beyond USA be audible on 31m this hour, it`s normally RVM. Suspect it be off. At 1442, JBA carrier, likely CHINA, CNR5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE [non]. See USA: WRMI 9955 ** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. RF 27.5, KAUT ``43`` OKC, screenshot of the CW colorbars they broadcast for a quarter-hour at 2330 UT June 14, as in last report under OKLAHOMA: https://www.w4uvh.net/KAUT_CW_CB.jpg Google: ``The network's name is derived from the first letters of the names of its two founding co-owners CBS Corporation and Warner Bros., with CBS Corporation being merged with the second iteration of Viacom to form ViacomCBS and Warner Bros. being owned by Time Warner, later AT&T's WarnerMedia.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.86 AM, June 15 at 2205, local Enid CB pirate finally heard again // relaying 105.5 K288FX, `K-Love` translator of KYLV 88.9 OKC, praise music. I`ve checked for this often, several times a week, last logged May 5. And like before, there are two more signals on other CB channels in //: 27164.5 stronger than 27184.86, S9+20 vs S9+10, absolutely steady groundwave, BUT modulation much louder on the upper one, so which is a spur? And a JBA much weaker in sig and mod on 27144.15, approx. The measurements match, about 20.35 kHz apart. Will be interesting if anyone ever DX this by skip vs CB pileups (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, June 15 at 1456, K17JN-D, the 3ABN satellator, only local TV signal in Enid, is definitely back on air now at usual sufficient strength on STB meter. And still misnames itself ``K17JI-D`` which is really in California! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** POLAND [non]. See USA: WRMI 9955. It would be nice if they happen to relay R. Poland ES at a more awake hour than 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 15 at 2210, NO signal direct from VOT English; nor even unto UTwente checked at 2210, nor on previous/possible accidental/alternates, 11795 or 9875. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday June 15 at 0400-0429 on WTWW, 5085, S9+5/15 into NH SDR and I am sure VG all over N America and beyond. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1454 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6159.001, S9/S7 and noisy into UTwente. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1600 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1730 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, both 6160+ and 3975+ into UTwente. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1930 on WRMI webcast only and WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1956 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+15 into nearby MO remote, about 6 minutes into, so the 1930v started about 1950. Next: 2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475; 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500]; 0930 UT Sunday IRRS 9510 [NEW]; 1902vUT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy [ex 2000]; 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 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. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. By MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9955, Sat June 15 at 0633, like last weekend, WRMI stays on here overnight, news in Spanish, from what? Last week I thought it were RAE relay since several news items about Argentina. This week I keep listening past 0700. M&W anchors speak very rapidly, and I do not detect an Argie or Castilian accent. Problem is Cuban pulse jamming almost as strong as this only fair signal direct. 0638 again items about Argentina. 0643 I thought they mentioned ``Radio Paz Internacional en Francia`` but not correct or at least not an ID. 0647 ``Radio Francia Internacional``; 0657 item about some Festival ``aquí en París``. 0659 another definite ID as R. Francia Internacional; pause, no WRMI ID, and like last week at 0700 starts ``Radio Poland External Service``, in English as on WRN sked, datestamped as ``Friday June 14``, so yesterday`s show. Time for me to quit/QRT. Note: RFI has not broadcast Spanish on SW for many years, but still as in WRTH 2005; in WRTH 2024 you would not even know they still have Spanish webcasts, but see this: https://www.rfi.fr/es/programas/ Probably same things on 9955 UT Sundays, but not on air this late weekdays. This is still not accounted for on the WRMI skedgrids. Xmtr 3 9955 shows TOMBS Sat & Sun at 04-11 UT. System B sked however now shows R. Francia Internacional daily at 1-2 am EDT = 0500-0600 UT, not 0600-0700, internet only except Sat & Sun also 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 15 at 0630, fourth night in a row, still no signal from R. Vanuatu; nor on 7890 in case it be on 3945 instead and resume harmonicizing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2247 UT June 15

** ANTARCTICA [non]. 15474.728, Fri June 14 at 1459 past 1500, JBA carrier at S4/S7 into LU5AGQ remote in Argentina, and no sign of LRA36 15475.98 RC USB if it`s still on as scheduled. The spoiler is UZBEKISTAN site with Furusato no Kaze for Korea North (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BARBADOS. 28436 USB, June 14 at 2203, 8P5KM, calling CQ Parx on the Air and working mostly UStations, and a ZL. Hard to copy his call correctly: penultimate letter fonetik sounded like sierra or zulu? must have been kilo as per dxheat contacts on same frequency; also uttering ``BB0013``. Neither SM nor ZM in QRZ.com, but 8P5KM is not either! QRZ.com of course is voluntary and unofficial but it`s rare to hear a station yet unfound there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, June 14 at 1450, both possible RHC frequencies are NOT on the air. Someething`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, June 13 at 1901 UT check on caradio, KIMY Watonga is *still* dead air in $ tereo, that is about 23 hours since I first noticed it June 12 at 2019. AND, **still** dead air in $ tereo June 14 at 1528, and 2052; and 2215 when I get RDS display of THE_____ / GOSPEL__ / STATION_. Of course I have not monitored constantly, but no reason to believe they were ever modulating for the last 51 hours at least and no telling how long before that. IMHO, a station so incompetent as to broadcast nothing for such a stretch deserves to have its license revoked, so something else can make better use of the spectrum! OTOH, the less gospel-huxtering on OUR AIR, the better. FYI, spelling $ tereo with a dollar sign has no financial implication, just a convention stemming from the late Bruce Elving`s FM Atlases, a single $ synbol in listings (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 27, 43-1, June 14 at 2330, KAUT supposed to be carrying NBC Nightly [sic] News, shunted from an hour earlier on its primary station KFOR with stupid ballgame preemption. Instead until 2336 we see color bars and a CW network feed with UT timer to the fraxion of a second abottom. 2336 briefly switches to KFOR slide, back to CW, and floating white square to prove it hasn`t frozen, Also labeled: Primary G19, Transponder 15, Service 1 Secondary G35, Transponder 20, Service 1 Along with tone. Still past 2344 with occasional interruptions. 2345 finally starts some sitcom, not any NBC NN, tsk2. First noted this on Optimum cable ch 2, then direct via antenna, KAUT`s primary RF channel is 19 but it`s one of few ATSC 3.0 stations, invisible here. Rabbitears.info shows orginary ATSC of KAUT is really RF 27.5 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, June 14 at 2200, token English from SNR, again MQ only, preview interview with editor of Madrid Review, and then some special event coming up on June 14; news, S9+30/40 direct, and the other three also audible, 17715, 15520, 15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 14 at 2159, VOT IS, S9+10 direct but too much noise. At 2236 into UTwente when measured, S9+25/35, music; 2237 `That`s Why` repeat on how a serpent became the symbol for medicine: wish I could follow what Ms Badax is trying to enunciate; 2244 music; 2248 ``Always-by-your-side`` promo; 2249 music; 2253 s/off by the OM ignoring SW; 2254.6 IS a couple times and off shortly before 2253* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed Friday June 14 at 2057 the 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz, S9+15 into nearby Noale SDR. Not confirmed Fri June 14 at 2057 the 2030 on WRMI webcast only as still on System B sked: music, instead. Confirmed Friday June 14 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, first SW broadcast, S9+10/20 direct but seems undermodulated; no jamming audible. Also confirmed Friday June 14 at 2232 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003, S9+5 into UTwente. WOR confirmed UT Friday June 14 2229-2234 on World FM mp3 stream, New Zealand, but I think it was old 2246 not 2247. Stations should hasten to get new WOR on air ASAP as there may be some perishable info. Next: 0400 UT Saturday WTWW 5085; 1430 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1730 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM [1900/2100]; 2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475; 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500]; 0930 UT Sunday IRRS 9510 [NEW]; 1902vUT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy [ex 2000]; 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 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.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3265.171, June 14 at 2348, this WBCQ is on for a change, S7/S8 into NH SDR with FKB preacher // 7489.929, S9+15. 5130 is still OFF. 6159.930 with another gospel huxter, S7/S9. 2359 Allan comes on, sounds like live for a change, then starts his WTO theme, for the 0000 UT Saturday June 15 broadcast of `AAAWWW`, after 7 weeks of reruns. I`m listening to 3265+. Sweetheart/Darlin`, is not to be heard at first from remote, fiddling with patch bay. Admits a while since a live shew, normal spring/summer hiatus, tremendously busy; his birthday 71 was June 12. ``The whole world is being rigged for World War III`` -- we can`t do this, got to stop it. Gotta get a landslide going, like in EU leaning more to ``common sense``. So it`s going to be all or mostly politix. By 0011 has drifted down to 3265.158. Credits Angela with ``saving my life``. *rump will keep America from going Communist. [yeah, right, rather Fascist]. As usual, Angela sounds even more radical as she yells over the phone, from Fla? WBCQ has a SW receiving-room, radios set up to feed into mixing board in case they have to relay something else with no other programming available. 0025 datestamp at 14 of June 2024, simulcasting on 3265 and 7490. Later he delusions that *rump back in the WH will call Putin and Zelenskiy and tell them to end the war; that`s that. ``Creatures like Biden and Trudeau are treasonous, communist bastards, must be removed``, he imagines. Joins Hal Turner a sesquiminute late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 96.7, June 14 at 1530 UT, ``Sports Radio 96.7 and 1310, The Ticket`` from DFW Metroplex market is strong enough briefly to unsee any $ tereo icon, i.e. talk format is in mono. FYI, $ tereo instead of mono automatically reduces the full-quieting coverage area of an FM station; by what percentage? This is 90/90 kW KTCK-FM. NOT flagged as Mono mode in WTFDA FM Database. Some talk stations stay in $ tereo anyway, since some receivers used to ignore mere mono stations; is this still a problem? And occasional $ tereo music in commercials, etc., really stands out. Lacking any sporadic E FM DX, also noticed in this caradio bandscan, June 14 at 1535 UT, the Bott station on 94.3 west of Wichita in Kansas is also in mono, i.e. KCVW 100/100 kW in Kingman, not flagged mono in WTFDA FMDB. Are all Bott FMs in mono? Need to check 95.1 KQCV 100/100 kW ``Shawnee`` = OKC. Searching Slogan field, there are 112 Bott hits in the DB, many of them translators, not a single one `mono` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 14 at 0648, NO signal from R. Vanuatu, third night in a row. What`s the problem now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0211 UT June 15

** OKLAHOMA. More about 50/50 kW from Tulsa on 1170: ``Following up on this thread, they announced a format change on June 26. KTSB will cease to exist after that; the new station will be KOTV AM. They haven`t announced the new format, but I suspect more right wing talk. I actually have enjoyed local sports for 6 hours a day here; I'll switch to KTBZ 1430 for my somewhat-local sports fix. 73 Chris KC5IIE Krug, Tulsa, OK`` (via Glenn Hauser, Enid, WORLD OF RADIO 2247)
** TURKEY. Re a VOT segment title, Bill Tilford replies: ``Actually, I think the English show is `Türkiye's Geomarked Products`. I have been doing a little reading and Türkiye has some place-of-origin authenticity procedures not that unlike some cheeses in France, for example`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2246 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.
