** CANADA. 15034 USB, May 6 at 1459, JBA in degraded propagation, Trenton Military, ``no report received`` from Victoria, Victoria, and Comox, Comox; cuts off air at 1500* for usual ToH/BoH break as not shown in EiBi. As if timeshared with another station - Not; was it ever? Klingenfuss 2022 does show two other SSBs on 15034: CJX in St John`s NF, and VXA in Edmonton AB, which I have *never* heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, May 6 at 1505, horrible humroar S2 audible direct. Recheck at 1938, S9+15/20 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sun May 5 at 2231, I tune-in late to VOT English, S9+30 into UTwente during music, but just in time for `Letterbox` starting at 2234 --- NO, it`s ending, not starting. All programs play exactly the same theme and ID for start and finish, so they can never get them wrongly reversed. And the L`box always has time to end with a tune after he`s running out of time; despite there being plenty of fill music between shows and promos. Anyhow, I`ll have to catch the final repeat 5 hours later. 2244 multi-lingual ID filler reel. For this one, 2252 s/off by the OM rather than usual YLs, as if closing the 1230 on ``15450`` -- not used since last summer! Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2252.5 IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs, still 2300 TS and s/on extraneous German. I let it run in the background until 2325 when I hear noise as it has finally cut off. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7275.006, UT Mon May 6 at 0319 t/in to VOT English S8/9+10 INTRUDER in the N American 40m hamband, as `Letterbox` is already underway, host learning what 73 means, from Alan Holder, IOW, as well as 88 and 55. Then acknowledging reports from Breyel in Malaysia -- host misses KL, his ``second hometown``; India, India, India; someone with a Russian name in ``Riga, Letonia`` -- that is the Spanish, and Turkish? version of Latvia, just to further confusion with Lithuania; 0328 out of time, wrapping up, 0329 music before L`Box formally closes, and we`re back to where we started one pentahour ago. This time I recheck the closing: 0352 same ``15450`` boner, but IS and off* well before 0356 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 305 MCW kHz, May 6 at 0644, RO, 400 watt `Topan` ND beacon at Roswell NM, among few JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2241 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday May 5 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz into UTwente, S8/S9 and no QRM but noisy. I can`t help but notice that some MW DX editors will never publish my Italy 1323 kHz monitoring; perhaps they would if WOR were not involved?? Also confirmed Sunday May 5 at 2154 the 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.001, S9/+10 and noisy into UTwente, and 6160.001, S9/+10 not noisy but with that RTTY dittery from about 6164 unless bandwidth narrowed less than 8 kHz. Also confirmed UT Monday May 6 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into Georgia SDR as Qro. is busy. Not confirmed UT Monday May 6 at 0300 on Area 51 via 6160- WBCQ; previous show ended on time and ID, but instead some extraneous drama. It seems A51 at a whim can skip or delay WOR, but something is still better than nothing, right? Still no WOR by 0319 as I need to catch Turkey`s Letterbox anyway. But recheck at 0346 WOR is halfway and ending about 0359 so must have started at 0330. Also confirmed Monday May 6 at 1937 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, S9+10/15 on 6160.000; S9+5/10 on 3975.002. 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; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.
