Same zero observations here in central Alberta over many days of random
checks. Really doubt there has been any actual energy put out. Tweets
sure can be dangerous...

ANTARCTICA LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel,
letter and photo received from the station.
15476 kHz LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel, Base Esperanza,
I send an email to the station telling them the reception here in Lugo
is very weak, and the best time to hear the station in Europe is the
old one from LRA 26{?}, 1800-2100 UT, and they replay with a PDF letter
and a photo.
In the letter they say they are on air since 19th March, short wave,
15476 kHz, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 0930 to 1100 Argentinian time
(1230 to 1400 UT), and they are working to schedule an evening program,
to try to reach more listeners with best quality reception.

15476 LRA 36 on-air now. Again the traditional communication
by female voices from the Radio Nacional San Gabriel Arcangel. 24332.

** CHINA [and non]. 15470, May 8 at 1314, talk maybe Chinese with low
audible het = LAH; ChiCom jamming vs scheduled Radio Free Asia in
Tibetan via Tajikistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 12843-CW, May 8 at 1334, ``CQ CQ CQ DR HLO HLO HLO QSX
12 MHZ K`` repeating over and over and due to inconvenient fades took
several times to copy it completely. EiBi shows this is Seoul Radio,
24 hours. Among the few maritime stations left running V or CQ markers
on HF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 610, May 8 at 1123 Banda music from SSW, 1126 DJ salutes
listener Amanda, now loops SW, but really same station? 1130 UT choral
NA, another one like 540 XETX playing it at this odd time. Again
trying to ascertain whether XEBX Sabinas, Coahuila still be on air; or
XEGS, Guasave, Sinaloa? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 660, May 8 at 1116 UT, Radio Vida ID in passing, phone(?)
number 17-29-12, approx. from south; seems like a Mexican but none
known by this name. Of course could be a program name, likely
Christian. Usual 660s here are XEEY in Aguascalientes and XEDTL in
CDMX. Per NRC AM Log, the only USA SS on 660 is 75-watt Radio Zion in
Oregon. No, KSKY sked remains in English (Glenn Hauser, OK DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710, May 8 at 1113, the Low German preacher is instead
speaking acceptable Spanish this time on XEDP Ciudad Cuauht?moc,
Chihuahua. This one has no problem around SRS surpassing KGNC Amarillo
in similar direxion, or KCMO KC, MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 800, May 8 at 1110 UT, Laboratorios Camacho infomercial,
loud and in the clear from XEROK, as KQCV OKC is unusually absent!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 800, May 8 at 1110 UT, KQCV OKC is off the air! So no
need to null it for XEROK. By 1132 recheck, KQCV is back on with some
ministry plugging an African cruise (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 89.3, May 8 at 1817 UT and May 9 at 2315, even at the
Loyal turnoff on US 81, no signal from KIEL. It`s been
marginal/sporadic into Enid, vs the 89.1 translator.
Also missing again, 101.5 KOCD Okeene, May 19 at 2315 UT, but
something weak in English, maybe translator in OKC or Cushing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1980 monitoring: Not confirmed,
Wednesday May 8 at 2100 on 7490 WBCQ, nor on 9955 WRMI; I`m only on
the PL-880 with telescopic or caradio. WBCQ probably too weak, but
suspect WRMI off, as could detect 9395, and at 2129 recheck, 9955 is
JBA. Confirmed UT Thursday May 9 at 0103 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair.

stronger than WBCQ ever heard here even at night; since not off-

others have been hearing this all day. AW`s latest twit as of circa
1930 May 9, WTFK:
``Allan Weiner?@AllanWBCQ 9h9 hours ago --- On the air with great
radio. 24/7. Testing the big one. Getting close to airdate for the
superstation. Transmitter runs smooth. Very efficient. 75% over all.
Amazing stuff. We need free speech radio more than ever. Support us
and our programmers the best you can. More to come Yep`` (Glenn
