Due to technical issues at Channel 292 Pop Shop Radio was not
transmitted on 9670 khz with the North America beam this past Wednesday.
As a result, an extra broadcast will take place at 1500 UTC on 9670 this
Sunday 16 May 2021 on the beam to North America. Our normal Saturday
broadcast to North America will go out as usual on 9670 at 2100 UTC on
Saturday 15 May.
Reception on this side of the Atlantic of 9670 has been particularly
good as of late. My monitoring via Kiwi SDRs has shown reception from
all along the east coast in North America and as far west as Chilliwack
BC. In addition there has been a fairly good signal in Brazil and the
Caribbean. A real treat this past week was a direct non-SDR reception
report from Cuba of 9670.
So -- reception reports most appreciated not only on 9670, but as well
as for 3955 -- and 6070. (3955 has been heard in the Caribbean as well
in Europe and North East Africa!)
OH -- BTW -- This show will be our special salute to the Eurovision Song
Contest and QSLs will have a Eurovision logo on them

Radio Canada International
By Marc Montgomery
[email protected]
May 14, 2021
Canada?s international broadcast service from the English language team
of Radio Canada International has come to an end.RCI, (originally the
International Service, CBC-IS) was initially created towards the end of
the Second World War.
The purpose was to broadcast news and information from home via
shortwave to Canadian military personnel fighting in Europe. It also
began providing reliable news and information to recently liberated
countries and to Germans still in the war.
That reliable news and information was considered of great value during
the subsequent Cold War years, as several more languages were added to
the service.
This included for example Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Hungarian and
Polish, along with such language sections as Brazilian Portuguese and
Japanese.
With 14 language sections in 1990, and some 200 staff, the full English
and French newsroom provided news of interest and importance for each
language section and specifically targeted to each of the various
broadcast regions around the world.
Following a major budget cut of some 80 per cent in 2012, the shortwave
and satellite service was terminated along with the majority of staff
including the newsroom and some language sections. In recent years, only
Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic, and Spanish remained along with English and
French.
RCI was transformed into a much smaller internet-based operation
consisting of three people per language section.
In December 2020, the domestic public broadcaster CBC / Radio-Canada
announced that the English and French sections of RCI would close for
good in May.
In their place curated stories from the domestic English and French
public broadcaster will be provided.
A manager will now oversee the staff of eight who will adapt curated
stories from the CBC and Radio-Canada into Mandarin, Arabic, and
Spanish, along with Punjabi and Tagalog.
An effort was and is being made by the RCI Action Committee to preserve
and even expand the service which has garnered great support from a
former prime minister, former diplomats and many academics, but the end
date has come.
This is the last entry by the RCI English section.From the English
Section consisting of Lynn, Marc, and Levon, we thank you for having
shared our stories over these many years.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat May 15 at 1442 tune-in via Bras?lia
#2 KiwiSDR, LRA36 is underway, only S1-S4 but noise level is low
enough that it`s partially readable; talking about a birthday; 1445
music; 1501 ID, this-day-in-Argentine-history mentioning events in
1994, 1904, 1909, etc., W&M alternating items. 1506 contact info,
song; 1511 ``Nacional Ant?rtida Argentina, en todo el pa?s, la radio
p?blica``, one of several canned IDs. Then mostly alternating songs
and IDs. 1514 as LRA36, 1518, 1522. 1523 says this will repeat
Saturday at 11 horas [= 14 UT], and be back next Wednesday; Ant?rtida
song stops at 1527, and no more modulation; but switching to
15475.00-USB I can tell the reduced carrier stays on past 1549 when I
quit, but gone at recheck 1621. (I didn`t check on Wed May 12) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non]. 15700 & 11880, May 15 at 1525 check, CRI Plus English
relay via CUBA is still missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13670 & 13810, May 15 at 2152, JBA telltale spurblobs plus
and minus 70 kHz from RHC 13740 on air now at S9+10/20. No program
modulation or F# tones but no doubt. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6865-USB, May 16 at 0049, pirate music at S9 vs
storm noise; 0053 crossfade to anther tune; 0053 YL talx over mx,
``Thank you for listening to Mix Radio`` - not International, 0056
record offer like a commercial; 0125 still going. Many more logs here,
a few matching my details:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81684.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, May 16 at 0050, Petula Clark, ``Don`t Sleep
on the Subway``, S9+10; 0059 ``Wolverine Radio``. Many more logs here
headed 6960-USB but certainly AM for me:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81684.0.html
No one contradicted USB, tho some admired the audio. Theme was various
modes of transportation. Off at my 0125 check. Had ended at 0109 with
SSTV; three images posted, one of them sharp, of a Model T traffic jam
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 24 OKC, KOKH on 25-2 with CHA/RGE! channel, May 15 at
1627 UT, exhibits strange closed captioning, white on green background
and flashing. I did nothing to provoke this on my Sanyo screen; but
other channels such as 25-3 are ``normal``, white on black background
and not flashing. Something peculiar to Charge? I never watch it for
any length of time and never seen anything like this on any channel
before. CHA/RGE! is also on cable 139 where checked later at 1910 the
captioning is normal. Then rechecking RF 24 off the air again,
green/on/white flashing (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 13, KETA ``13`` OKC, our OETA/PBS station dumps off
the air about 2305 UT May 15 during `Oklahoma News Report`. It`s gone
both from air and from cable: must be serious. Storming is predicted
for the next several days, but none at the moment over OKC to explain
this. Fortunately there`s another repeat Sunday at 1830-1930 UT if
back by then. I could have watched OETA live video online, which is
still funxioning, also for PBS News [semi]Hour Weekend-Saturday at
2330. It`s also available ondemand from PBS but not put up
immediately, so after 0000 May 16 I stream instead last Sunday`s
edition of May 9,
https://www.pbs.org/video/may-9-2021-pbs-newshour-weekend-full-episode-1620598892/
which I usually miss since OETA refuses to air it: no news on Sunday!
I`m not sure I ever convinced OETA that there are *two different*
Weekend shows. This allows sped-up playback too, as much as 2X; I find
1.5X about right, still quite understandable and timesaving. Voices
are condensed but pitch is not sesquied; and it seems theme music
stays normal. Later I`ll get the May 15 edition. Later2, still not
posted by 0400. These expire after one month. I`m busy with other
audioviewing until 0300 UT May 16 when I find OETA restored on air and
cable (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, K17JN-D, the 3ABN translator in Enid missing for a
few days, is born again the afternoon of May 15, as before the usual
five channels, one of which is silent with an ``unsupported audio
codec``. Strangely, Suddenlink must not carry this local signal
basically, altho 3ABN is on a higher tier, probably off the bird
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, Sat May 15 at 2248, VOT is already in IS after
English, VG via UTwente, S9+25/35, much better than direct to this
target. Keeps going instead of closing down, and at 2258.3 starts
interspersing GERMAN IDs about twice a minute. Timesignal ends at
2300:04 but including internet delay, and opening German which he says
this hour will include `Briefkasten`, the reactivated mailbag repeat;
2300.8 into Nachrichten news rather than satellite parameters. But
chopped off the air at 2304*, so the sloppyrators at Emirler, where
something is always erroneous, are not so sleepy tonight. And the
Brazilians are out of luck for accidental Portuguese an hour later.
BTW, to time the timesignal I found CHU readable on 7850 while WWV on
5 and 10 was not, into ATS-909 rx beside noisy TVs and computer (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2086 monitoring: Not confirmed UT
Sat May 15 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, a new time which only started last
week. Instead some rock music program. Jeff White explains that a new
booking came up unexpectedly for this and the next three weeks.
Apparently it may extend beyond then depending on response.
Confirmed Sat May 15 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, but VP here as I was
unfortunately awake.
Also confirmed Sat May 15 from 1943.5 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, VG via
nearby KB0FX remote.
Also confirmed Sat May 15 at 2030 on IRRS via Italia-AM, 918 kHz, VG
S9+25 via nearby Noale remote. This airing was temporary substitute
fot 1801 UT Sat, which should resume next week along with SW 7290;
which was confirmed today carrying something else.
Missed checking the WA0RCR repeat until 0400 May 16, presumably aired
closer to 0315-0345. Heavy storm noise into his neighborly Kiwi even
tho no Blitz closer to there than just north of Enid in KS; but lots
more on a line thru western KS, OK, TX panhandle. Next:

** U S A. 5085, May 15 at 2157, since it`s Saturday with ham stuff,
WTWW-2 is on already and detectable but VP in noise level despite
S9/+10. A week ago per other monitoring, they tried 9930 instead which
should work much better in the daytime except in the skip zone. By
2321, 5085 has become VG and 9930 is still off.
5085, UT Sun May 16 at 0025, now `Theater Organ Under the Arch` is
already running, but too distorted on SW; I check again the TX2 live
stream, and finally it`s not blocked by BrowserGuard, so I listen in
pristine $tereo: more George Wright recordings, or repeat. Was Bob
Heil`s ``mentor, teacher, great friend``. Went on to Hammond stuff by
other thorganists, some sounding pianic, ending with his own
composition at 0040-0042.5, whence WTWW hurries to fulfill an alleged
rock request on their automated system (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5050, May 15 at 2321, WWRB weekend-only broadcast is on,
songs, inoffensive enough tho presumably hymns if I could make out the
lyrix, VG S9+10/20. After pause, 2328 a gospel huxter starts with no
intro except TG. Eventually wife reminds him to do so: Brother Jerry,
and wonderful wife Rosie, from a ministry in zip 44631. Hmm, what
would the wife of a brother be? Surely not a sister - that would be
incestuous; sister-in-law? But as a preachess herself would never
self-identify as an in-law; hmm, conundrum (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
