GLENN HAUSER LOG ROUNDUP MAY 27-JUNE 2, 2021 Please note and spread the word - for those not on a list where my almost-daily all-band but mainly SW log reports appear -- or for those who are but find this a more convenient archive, weekly merged roundups of all these reports in their original form are posted early every UT Thursday via: http://www.worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html The latest one direct: https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2021_0527_0602.txt WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST updated June 2: Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Cuba: R Havana Cuba - Updated link to the RHC podcasts (thanks to Alan Pennington) 2) Romania - R Romania Int - Added link to new "listen again/podcast" webpage Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be early July. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe) Alan has also been very busy, compiling a new 2-hour program schedule in English for RHC; and a new edition of his MUSIC PROGRAMMES ON SHORTWAVE schedule, both available in the WOR iogroup ** ANGUILLA [non]. 13845, May 28 at 2021, tuning across WWCR when PMS is remarking, ``people of God don`t need to be walking around rubbing their nipples``; you see, she ``has a different mindset`` than DGS. Got it! Then mox other gospel huxters who need $30,000 commodes -- are their feces golden? Rather entertaining her audience (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, May 29 chex at 1427, 1534, 1600, no signals this Saturday from LRA36 via three remotes in Brasil. And I did not check for the other transmission on Wed May 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed June 2 at 1507, LRA36 is on, only S1-S3 with song into Brasília #2 KiwiSDR; not logged in detail as so many times before; but off at next check 1604. I did not check for it last Wed May 26, and it was not on Sat May 29 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9665.24V, May 29 at 2309, RVM is unsteady and slipped above 9665 after quite a spell on the minus side, music and then Brazuguese preaching, S6-S2 on the JRC. 9665.098V, May 30 at 0604, Brazuguese preaching, now measured on the Icom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA [and non]. 248-MCW kHz, May 30 at 0623 UT, ND beacon WG with notably strong signal, far more than any other Canadian, and than my `local` Okies 255 SW and 350 RG which are JBA vs high storm noise level; and 341 EI Enid remains silent for weeks. WG is 1000 watts from WinnipeG; and never heard are 5 other listed Canadians on 248, two of which are to be decommissioned in August per dxinfocentre.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 93.5, May 31 at 2227 UT, sporadic E of French Canadian talk overcomes marginal Kansan, see USA; 2233 with 204 AC phone, weather for Winnipeg and Churchill; maybe ID in passing partly faded starting CK- but could still be CBC/RC. Still at 2237 when hardly anything else. None of the Manitobans fit but this does, just over in Ontario, and the only FF 93.5 in Ont. per WTFDA Database: ``CKSB-7-FM relays CKSB-1050 93.5 KENORA ON French NEWS/TALK ICI RADIO-CANADA PREMIERE 20.0 kW H&V 100.0m HAAT 49-46-06 94-30-17`` CBC acquired the private CKSB 1050 St-Boniface long ago and added it to its French network, kept the callsign, not CBWF. I guess it had been a private affiliate of CBC/SRC. 1542 km = 958 stmi from Kenora to Enid, ideal Es distance. 93.1, May 31 at 2227 UT, telco-quality talk in English by a native person about ceremonies, residential schools, the scandal in BC. ``First Nations`` terminology which is typically Canadian but may be spreading south of the border, where it should be banned for the sake of DX identification. Closest to Kenora PTA is this, but HOT AC? ``CFOB-FM 93.1 FORT FRANCES ON HOT AC THE BORDER 21.0 kW H&V 0.0 m HAAT 48-36-10 93-26-53 C27E`` How about Manitoba?

Looking thru all the hundreds of 92.1 listings I don`t find those or anything rhyming, one syllable with a long-A.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. May 28 from 1322, I`m surveying wayoutofband CNR1 jammers, and find a lot more than after 1400 when many of them close: 11190, JBA carrier, only one in the 11 MHz area; but: 13160 JBA Chinese? 13130; 13020 and 12880 both S9-S6 Chinese with flutter; 12500 JBA carrier; 13530 Chinese S7-S5. All the 12s and 13s are in Aoki as jammed SOH frequencies, but not 11190, possibly something else. None heard just below 15 MHz. Wolfgang Bueschel surveys these via remotes, the latest altho not covering 13 MHz, and not at the same daypart: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/article.php?story=20210528231503557 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey in the 12/13 MHz area, May 30 at 1421: 12500 Chinese at S5-S7; 12820 JBA carrier; 12880 Chinese S5-S7; 13130 Chinese S4-S5; 13530 JBA carrier vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13676 & 13804 approx., May 27 at 0326, FM spurblobs with really loud tone between F and F# above Cmiddle; out of RHC 13740-AM S9+20/30 during music. Also much weaker multiples of ~64 kHz further out: 13867 vs RTTY 13870; 13932, 13995; 13614, 13550, 13486; 13423 vs CODAR. Unusual to hear this late, but fundamental signal is holding up very strong. 13562, 13630 S4-S5; 13769, 13837 traces at ~69 kHz intervals out of same transmitter when it`s fundamentally on 13700-AM in the morning, 1404 UT May 27. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2088) ** CUBA. 6060, May 28 at 0558, RHC should be English but only humbuzz at S9/+10. A trace of the same sound on 6100 S9+10 otherwise dead air too. At 0559, 6000 & equally good 6165 re-open English, but whether they stay on the full hour is problematic. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, May 28 at 1320, RHC Spanish is somewhat distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13568, 13634, 13766, all approx., May 28 at 1328, spurblobs out of S9+10 RHC 13700-AM at ~66 kHz intervals, but no program modulation and not very strong. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12000, May 29 at 0557, RHC JBA on 2 x 6000. Nothing on other doubles checked: 12120, 12200, 12330. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, May 29 at 0559, RHC English with big humbuzz; 6100 is off, 6165 & 6000 good, 5040 Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13571, 13636, 13768, approx., spurblobs out of 13700-AM, mainly F# tones, ~66 kHz intervals, but none circa 13832. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 7335, 7345, 7355, 7365, 7405, May 30 at 0611, noise jammers of various strengths all against nothing since R. Martí closes two+ hours earlier! Or in case of 7405 never at all this season. 7335 jam is heaviest; 7365 lightest. Of note that 7345 is the RM DRM channel which quits at 0200, and when it`s on I never detect jamming which is so similar to DRM noise itself. All this excessive jamming, just more evidence of Commie paranoia, and who gives a damn about polluting our SW bands totally unnecessarily? 7345 also has buried a JBA AM carrier, which during this hour only would be BBCWS English via Ascension. Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command. Meanwhile there is no jamming on 7435 which is also an RM frequency earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13764, May 30 at 1426, spurblob out of RHC 13700-AM, telltale F# tone but no program audio; all approx., also traces around 13828, 13893, 13636 at ~64 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13521 trace, 13580 S7, 13639 S9, 13761 S5, 13821 S2-S3, 13882 trace, all approx., May 31 at 1426, spurblobs with telltale F# tone and music modulation on the stronger ones, ~61 kHz intervals out of 13700-AM; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11860, June 1 at 0419, beepery again on a Cuban jammer frequency vs Martí but which funxions only in the daytime. Now there are two different pitches from slightly different frequencies which are beating against the JBA spur carrier of RHC 11850 which is on 11860, so BFO not necessary to hear them. Pattern now is: very rapid strings of one tone, pause, alternating with same very rapid strings of the other tone. Too fast to count but estimated about 20 at a time. There is also a SAH from a second weak carrier on 11860, presumably the Sa`udi Yemeni, known to be slightly off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN [non]. As heard on NPR ATC via KOSU until 2058 UT May 31: Who The Uyghurs Are And Why China Is Targeting Them May 31, 2021 4:25 PM ET Heard on All Things Considered Ramtin Arablouei, co-host and co-producer of Throughline. 8-Minute Listen NPR's history podcast Throughline bring us the story of why the Uyghur people have become the target of what many are calling a genocide in China. https://www.npr.org/2021/05/31/1001936433/who-the-uyghurs-are-and-why-china-is-targeting-them Here`s the Throughline podcast page of almost one-hour episodes, but not yet this one apparently: https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510333/throughline (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [non]. 11730, May 29 at 0555, French mentioning Japon over and over, S4-S7. Yes, it`s NHK via ISSoudun at 0530-0600. First time noticed this as I do check NZ 11725 every night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [non]. 9490, June 1 at 0406, Japanese with CCI from a LAH but no jamming. NHK is relayed 0300-0500 via Nauen, GERMANY for Mideast but only other listee at this hour is Tibet. Radio República relay via FRANCE is supposed to be over at 0200, but Issoudun is known to be off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Friday May 28 at 0557, ORTM is already on at S9+10 and now good modulation with Qur`an, or maybe Islamic sunrise prayer. 6000 RHC has not cut off yet and splashing beyond 5995 even with LSB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, May 30 at 0610, VON is on today with chants and presumed Hausa, S9+10/20. This thing could successfully provide a N American service if there were English on air before 0600, but then I would complain that it`s intruding into our hamband; while targeting only Africa Region 1 is legit. Of course they could equally serve NAm on an open frequency above 7300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat May 29 at 0152, pirate with ``Both Sides Now``, S9+ with storm noise. No doubt Ball Smacker Radio in regular 0100+ UT Sat sked. No other pirates around (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.911-AM, May 31 at 0234, soft pirate music at S7-S9. Lots of unID logs: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,82284.0.html who do not realize that on this exact off-frequency, Nowhere Radio has been reported before including by me on April 25, May 1 and 13; however definite IDs were lacking. Same transmitter anyway, but only the op can specify the name(s) used on any occasion. At this time I also have a trace of music on 6970-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475-AM, May 31 at 0312, Station YHWH at S9/+10 into Corinne, N Utah SDR; 0317 ID asserting he is in North America; deep fades and occasional peaks higher. Tnx to tip from Eric Fetters-Walp near Seattle WA. Rick Barton, AZ was also hearing it well, but I found the Surprise AZ SDR had only a weak S5 signal. Rick says: ``yes, Glenn, anytime you use the Surprise AZ antenna you are hearing from near me. I live just off Greenway Rd and the Surprise city limits are 6 miles to my west. 73 -rb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Some marginal notes are mixed with FMDX under USA ** OKLAHOMA. 94.3, May 29 at 1930, 2125 and May 30 at 0115 UT chex, and *still* at 1814 May 30, open carrier/dead air from KLGB-LP, one of my closest transmitters, so maybe less of a QRM problem. Sibling KVBN-LP, co-located on same tower by an ex-church, continues nominal. Both are 100 watts ERP H&V, in WTFDA database as ``religious teaching`` but both are really mostly gospel rock now. Well, it is a ``holiday weekend`` so maybe will stay off Monday too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {no, back to normal by Monday afternoon May 31} ** OKLAHOMA. On 5/31/21 10:26 PM, Glenn Hauser wrote: ``95.3, May 31 at 2225 UT and continually, KOKC OKC talk is solid; hard to believe it`s just a 250-watt translator K237GE of 10 kW 1520; but it does have high-tower advantage, I think, tho WTFDA has default 0.0 entries for HAAT!`` --- Doug Smith replies on the WTFDA gg: An FM translator can (often does) have *twelve* HAATs and for that reason, most don't have a HAAT entry in the FCC database. (For full-power stations, "average terrain" is calculated along eight radials, every 45 degrees, around the tower; then, all eight radials are averaged. For translators, twelve radials are used -- and the highest radial determines the maximum permissible power.) You can calculate the HAAT of a translator (or any other station) on this page: https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/haat-calculator It has no legal standing but allows you to compare a translator's coverage to a full-power station's on an equal basis`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Race massacre coverage from Tulsa --- There is plenty of national coverage of this event. But from OK itself, KWTV OKC had a one hour special Friday night featuring its own news anchors, as I viewed it at the time: https://www.news9.com/tulsa1921 Tulsa`s own KOTV, a sibling station of KWTV, presents (almost?) the same web material, but surely a different program with own anchors I have not viewed: https://www.newson6.com/tulsa1921 (Glenn, Enid, Hauser, May 29, WOR iog) ** ROMANIA. 11730, May 29 at 2313, `Club Cultura` from RRI in Spanish, about museum restorations, S8-S5. No // found on same band; uplooked later in EiBi: 11730 & 9760 Galbeni to CAm; 11650 & 13750 Tsiganeshti to SAm listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR ** ROMANIA. RRI: ``Glenn, Re: Romania, the second Ţigăneşti transmitter is still off the air after five weeks. 9550 at 0000 and 7375 at 0300 for English to North America have been missing during that time; presumably other transmissions as well. Must be a major transmitter failure that Radicom has been unable to resolve. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (WOR iog) ** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 15170.061, June 1 at 0425, S8-S9 of Arabic, 0427 Qur`an. We are now getting into summer solstitial `midnite sun` propagation mode of higher `night` MUFs due to increased insolation of high-latitude paths such as this, which peaks about 62 degrees, almost reaching Reykjavík. Scheduled 0300-0600, the only 15170 station anywhen. Previous summers this has attained soporific status, but more sunspots would be helpful. Typically skewed Riyadh frequency. Several other JBA carriers on 19m band now, and even one on 17530 at 0431: but that would be low-latitude T-E MWV Madagascar in Chinese. 15170+, next night June 2: 0316 continuous Qur`an S9 fluttery to S7, soporific enough until 0359 announcement and A.S. ID, then mostly talk and weakening. A lot more carriers on 19m now, surely all except 15230 Cuba originating in the dayside, Afroeurasia. Sesqui-decades ago, 15170 would have been Tahiti (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri May 28 at 2016, once again zero signal from REE to NAm, off or unpropagable; while 15520 toward ME but off the back manages S6-S3. Then at 2212 Fri May 28 during token English, checking via remote in Maryland, still no trace of 17855; 11940 is adequate and a bit stronger than 15520, during discussion of `Trans-Baroque` group (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, May 29 at 1415, REE to North America early start on Saturday and even on the air and propagating, S9+10/S7 direct. Had not been able to hear it at all on weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed June 2 at 2200, REE is not only on but propagating English to NAm, S9/S7, main feature about an upcoming charity performance of de Falla`s `El Amor Brujo` at the Teatro Real; finally to `Ritual Fire Dance` itself from 2218 but truncated at 2230 for timesignal and enough of English. Also well audible on 15520 & 11940 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** THAILAND. Wolfgang Bueschel, May 27, also reports VOA Korean slightly off-frequency within 1 Hz of my measurement: ``12045.004 kHz at 1334 UT, Udorn Thani Ban Dung VoA Korean at 13-15 UT. 73 wb df5sx`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, May 27 at 2317, poor undermodulated S9/+10 signal, presumably VOT with another bonus German hour or fraxion, tnx to the sleepyrators at Emirler where something is always erroneous (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, May 28 at 2217, VOT English puts good S9+30/10 signal and well modulated into Maryland SDR, `Did You Know That?` segment about an oil wrestling festival to resume in June, has been going on since 1361y. Also can hear some storm crashes as picked up in the WDC area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, June 2 at 2158 JBA carrier vs RTTY, avoided by LSB tuning where the first modulation heard is the 2200 timesignal, so apparently is VOT English. At 2328 via UTwente there is still a JBA carrier, trace of modulation, but can`t tell if extra German. So weak that it could be CNR1 Beijing site also in Aoki at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

I had just found only one such on the 18 MHz band, 18140, but lots of skip with hets on AM CB 27 MHz frequencies.

(7489.9v), May 29 at 0000-0100, WBCQ `AAAWWW` via webcast only. A&A conversing entire hour about the usual radical subjects, Democrats are Commies, Wuhan lab should be destroyed, our current leaders are idiots, etc., etc. 0032 datestamp as 28th May, YOOL 2021 from Studio 9 in Fla, both 7490 and 6160 on air now. No callers and only a couple agreeable emails near the end when at 0056 there is finally some station news: Brother Scare will continue on WBCQ for the foreseeable future, occupying time on all the transmitters eventually. 6160 has a new program but no further info. 3265 will be ramped up to 24/7 operation. John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490. An extremely sexually satisfied Allan in the studio with an embarrassed Angela. Opening talk about how much Allan and Angela are in love. Then some talk about Canada and what's wrong with their government and its inability to get its citizens vaccinated even though the US is sending them vaccines. High income taxes, high sales tax, gas selling for the equivalent of six dollars a gallon and they claim they don't have enough money to accomplish vaccination. Then talk about California not arresting people for shoplifting. Allan then defends the police against the socialist, communists who want to defund and dismantle the police. Then into the origins of Covid. Touched on cancel culture and tried to wade through what political correctness entails today. After a brief summation of topics covered at 0034 they launch into discussion of human trafficking. Then Angela states that she believes that all of our leaps in technology have come after contact with aliens which prompts a discussion about UFOs and aliens. Angela is also afraid that out of fear we will kill all aliens and they'll end up like the Dodo birds. Then a brief look at our future with no fossil fuels, electric cars that people won't be able to replace the batteries on once they die as there will not be enough raw materials to manufacture new ones and we'll be stuck with a real mess as we try to safely dispose of the dead batteries. At 0056 Allan states that he has no intention of ever stopping the Brother Stair reruns that they air. A couple of emails read at 0057 and into closing prayer at 0059. Allan started to tell us of a new program coming to 6160 but was cut off at 0100 before he could name the program. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, UT Sun May 30 at 0100, `Encore` from R. Tumbril, SCOTLAND, via WRMI. VG via KB0FX MO remote for convenience since am at computer, but would also be VG direct. Also // 7780 which was back on air UT Sat after missing UT Fri for WOR during same hour. Much more diverse music this week than last week`s major composers. Playlist labeled 29/5: Poulenc, Fauré, Gavin Bryars, Hindemith, Francesco Mancini, Spiro, a polka-mazurka, Schubert. Synchro fake stereo mode gives it ``width`` with the notes cycling left and right, and now the SDR clix in this mode are less frequent and less obtrusive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, May 29 at 0155, S9+20/10 of dead air from WRNO. Lately has been inputting a stronger signal than before, modulated or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, Sun May 30 at 1712, WTWW-2 is on this new frequency ex-9930 but hardly ever used; gospel music, then YL with ``Atlas[?] Weather on WTWW`` for Nashville, also some other cities including Escanaba, Michigan, why? Random choice? This is S9-S7 and noisy, much weaker than the other WTWW-1 now on 9475 which is also seldom activated but more likely on Sunday holydays, which is SFAW not // 9940. Then Ted plugs ``USA Bible Academy`` on ``this website`` to avoid in-person COVID instruxion. 1714 a canned ID on 9940 for ``5085`` !! They still don`t have their act together. Both 9`s most likely to be active only weekends. First time I`ve caught 9940, but A-21 HFCC registered available 24/7, 100 kW at 180 degrees while 9475 is 100 kW at 55 degrees, explaining why 9940 is so relatively weak here off the side close to 270 degrees from Lebanon. TWR Eswatini and Furusato no Kaze also 9940 at times. I was bandscanning 17 down thru 9 MHz as during the stupid carace Indy 500, round and round, getting nowhere, signifying nothing --- but maybe some driver or spectators will be killed! --- would be a time if ever for WHRI to be turned back on as a former annual religious festival, but no sign of it on any band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, June 1 at 0335, WTWW on here and // 5085 with rock song ``My Mother-in-Law``. 5085 is known as WTWW-2 but so is 9940 new ex-9930. A test, I guess. Neither of the WTWW-1 frequencies is on now, 5830 & 9475, so could be #1 transmitter on #2 frequency? Or what about the #3 transmitter? Hardly ever active on registered 12105 or 15810. Would be of interest if anyone ever hear WTWW on any three frequencies at once. Tnx to tip from Jorge Freitas, Bahia, Brasil who noted the duoply at 0253-0313. Next night, June 2 at 0040 check, only 5085 is on, with rock, a bit early for a weekday; and still solo at 0110 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 12040, May 31 at 2314, WEWN Spanish now here ex-12050, tnx to tip from Jorge Freitas on the WOR iog; checked via W8BUG remote at Knoxville/Oak Ridge. Nothing on 12050 now but as JF says: ``12040 31/May 2016 2045 USA WEWN in Spanish. Changed the frequency to exit Ndarason's QRM? Interviewing a priest talking about Mary. Fair Signal.

Now 12040 will collide with KSDA at 2200-2230 only. The other Guamanian, KTWR is also on 12040 but off by 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. May 31 at 2111-2130 UT I was getting a number of 10m beacons, see above, from OH, IN and IL; checked after not getting any 88+ MHz FM Es DX on the DX-398. But then from 2215 with DXMAP MUF spiking to 100 MHz, I move to the Nissan stock caradio, to find: 93.1, May 31 at 2223 UT, ``93.1, The ---`` sounds like one syllable. I have to cope with marginal KS and OK signals not DX and this may be one of them rather than usual dominant ``My 93.1`` KHMY in Pratt KS. WTFDA Database shows no OK or KS with a The --- slogan, so maybe skip but not enough data! [Dave Hascall replies on the WTFDA gg: ``Hi Glenn. Could your 93.1 be Lima Ohio, The Fan? Dave in Indy`` --- Could, but too many other possibilities and at this time I was getting Manitoba/Ontario. That`s WWSR, only 3/3 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)] 93.5, May 31 at 2224 UT, ``My Country 93 - 5`` -- that`s only KKDY, 95 kW, Burdett KS, which is a tiny town west of Great Bend. Then I have French! See CANADA. Faded by 2241, back to KKDY with 785 AC for northern Kansas. 95.3, May 31 at 2225 UT and continually, KOKC OKC talk is solid; hard to believe it`s just a 250-watt translator K237GE of 10 kW 1520; but it does have high-tower advantage, I think, tho WTFDA has default 0.0 entries for HAAT! 92.1, May 31 at 2251 UT, ad for Tri-Hospital.com ? But doesn`t connect; searching on the name leads to Port Huron, Michigan, but there is no 93.5 near there of the several in MI; nor Sarnia ON, and well outside the current PTA - probable target area. 92.1, May 31 at 2258 UT, ``Your Country Q-92`` --- There are a few Q92 stations with or without hyphen in US, one in Clinton, north-central Arkansas, too far for GW, and none in the PTA, none in Canada. No 92.1 hits at all on Your Country. [Jon Ellis replies on the WTFDA gg: ``WYRQ Little Falls, MN uses “Your Country Q92.” Jon Ellis www.NorthPine.com `` Tnx, Jon, that`s likely it, in the PTA. WTFDA DB does not show any slogan, just format, Country: ``WYRQ-FM 92.1 LITTLE FALLS MN COUNTRY 6.0 kW H&V 91.0 m HAAT 45-56-58 94-17-46`` Sounds familiar; yes, I logged it last June 25, 2020: ``1701, 92.1, ad for Midwest Machinery, 1702 ``Little Falls Radio``, news about Pierce School District; plans for August 11 primary vs COVID, Morrison Country, fade-out.

CBS News Sunday Morning: I`m still recording it myself off KWTV, but starting to watch the May 30 via website https://www.cbsnews.com/sunday-morning/ I find that altho the file is still 62+ minutes skipping the commercials, now it has been set up to insert ads separately at every break, and they are inevitable, so back to my tape where I may zap them. Meanwhile I let the webversion play and find that it has stalled at some point, won`t restart, but if I move the timer a bit I get more ads before it restalls at the same image. They`ve screwed it up again! BTW, last week the Nature segment was not extended either. This week on air we get only 27 seconds of Yosemite. But *must see* the full 2:15 version separately on website, mostly waterfalls; after a 30-second cookie commercial (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 2 at 0558, JBA carrier from presumed R. Vanuatu, but nothing on X2 = 14520; nor has there ever been, maybe above MUF or does same transmitter on 7260 not harmonicize like it does when on 3945; and also to X2 = 7890; and on X4 = 15780 sometimes heard by Pacificans?? 11835, June 2 at 0558 I retune to here immediately and have a JBA carrier which must be China until a much stronger S7-S9 cut on at *0559:34 with music, as RV has just switched to 3945 and its harmonix. 7260 & 11835 had been missing several days, but Ron Howard observed RV was back to ``normal`` as of June 1.
