GUAM. 15680, May 25 at 1540, KSDA only frequency audible into Japan
SDR, S9+30/40. Seems they have only one transmitter going; AWR ID,
Pune address and phone number in scheduled Kannada; 1559 S/off in
English, never mentions call letters KSDA, power as 100,000 watts.
WRTH 2023 shows KSDA has 5 x 100 kW. Scheduled next at 1600 on 12080
but not on air.
Also at 1536 May 25, no scheduled frequencies from KTWR to be heard.
WRTH says they have 1 x 100 and 2 x 250 kW. Jose Jacob, India heard
from KTWR that they were closing down before the typhoon, everyone OK
afterwards but as of May 25 not yet safe to work on antennas (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2192)
This report dispatched at 0105 UT May 26
_ Hard-Core-DX mailing list
GUAM 13740 kHz Trans World Radio (Agana - sic - rather Merizo GUM site)
at 1413 UT in listed Vasavi language, giving contact info, off at 1414 UT.
- Fair, May 22.
15670 kHz Adventist World Radio (Agat site) on at 1530 UT "This is
Adventist World Radio ... you are listening to ... English program...",
man and woman with introductions, hymn. - Poor, May 22.
(Harold Sellers, Vernon-BC-CAN, ODXA / wor May 22)
9320 kHz KTWR Merizo in Korean, OFF air, due of hurricane disaster break,
at 1400-1515 UT on May 25;
15670 kHz off air on 15.53 UT on May 25, wb.
GUAM Nothing at 20:10 UT May 24 from KSDA Agat Guam on 9890 kHz.
Not surprising. 73, Walter Salmaniw-BC-CAN, wor May 24.
Re: KSDA AWR Agat 9890 kHz missing.
Well, my next check at 2340 UT, 17700 kHz was on with Chinese into South
Korea SDR as sked this hour. Of course, AWR might switch to some other
transmitter site if KSDA disabled. Now both KSDA and KTWR are scheduled
to be off the air until 1000 UT.
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, wor May 24)
GUAM [and non] 9890 kHz May 23 at 1955 UT, tune in one of two KiwiSDRs
in Korea South, for KSDA, AWR scheduled to start a new day at 20-21 UT in
Korean. Cuts on air at *1957UT with incredible S=9+60dB carrier, some dips
to only +45dB. 1959 UT my "Optimum" internet drops out, and not back until
2001 UT when I'm on the other KS SDR where it's much weaker and noisier,
but underway in Korean with AWR mentions, perhaps for the last time ?
Since a super-typhoon is heading toward Guam Pacific and expected to hit
Wednesday May 24 afternoon, circa 04 UT. As soon as we got this story via
Mike Terry-UK.
A monster typhoon is barreling toward a US territory with deadly winds and
25-foot storm surge.
By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist. Published 10:47 AM EDT, Tue May 23.
Super Typhoon Mawar is barreling toward Guam on Tuesday, threatening to
slam into the US territory as the strongest storm there in more than
60 years. The typhoon, which has strengthened rapidly in recent days, is
posing a "triple threat" of devastation including deadly winds equivalent
to a category 5 hurricane, exceptional storm surge and torrential rain-
fall, according to the National Weather Service office in Guam ...
<https:\\edition.cnn.com/2023/05/23/weather/typhoon-mawar-guam-
forecast-track-tuesday/index.html>
I started replying:
I was going to suggest monitoring KTWR & KSDA whether they be blown off
both totally worthless for any LOCAL news about Guam. WRTH Update
<https:\\wrth.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/WRTH23_INT_Summer-8.pdf>
has nothing under Guam. Instead they are mixed in with other TWR and
AWR sites under Singapore and USA respectively. If anyone can find or
compile KTWR-only or KSDA-only transmission skeds, please do so.
Glenn
Perhaps most convenient will be EiBi database by time:
<http://www.eibispace.de/dx/bc-a23.txt>
For KTWR, search on KTWR, to find it is OFF the air between 1630 and 1000.
For KSDA, search on GUM-a,which is OFF the air at 1830-2000 and 0000-1000.
Not considering day of week variations.
So first up will be KSDA at 20-21 UT in Korean on 9890 kHz.
Glenn, 1833 UT
There is one public radio station, KPRG
<http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php>
and its stream is working
<http://peridot.streamguys.com:5090/live>
I have not investigated for commercial stations. There are many more
utility transmitters which you can find on EiBi by searching merely GUM
There are no KiwiSDRs to be found on Guam by searching or on the world
map. Glenn
I do not see any explicitly local news on the schedule which is UT+10hrs,
but I suppose there may be some such inserts during NPR programs such as
ATC. Here & Now is currently running at 6-8 am. Glenn
<http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php?key=schedule>
KPRG did not occupy the optional cutaway in NPR news at 1904 UT, but stay-
ed with NPR news until 1906 UT. Also, I see that KPRG does not carry NPR
Morning Edition which would start around local midnight, but rather BBCWS.
Glenn
Arthur Pozner replies: Radio-locator.com has 21 local stations listed
for Guam. Most of them appear to have live links.
And Jose Jacob, India: Hello Glenn,
KSDA A23 Schedule is in my site:
<https:\\qsl.net/vu2jos/A23/KSDA.pdf>
KTWR A23 Schedule is in my site:
<https:\\qsl.net/v/vu2jos\\A23/KTWR.pdf>
Gary Pence says at 2059UT: Glenn, The radar shows they're getting into it.
I can only hope it moves quickly; the slower it moves or stalls awhile,
more damage and destruction occurs. Gary
So we're all set to follow what happen to Guam and its stations.
SAIPAN & TINIAN with USAGM SW stations are not far away to the North, and
might also be affected. What hath god wrought?
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, wor May 24 - 25)
GUAM News from KTWR, May 24. Latest report from KTWR. Staff are safe.
Max wind gust of 108 mph recorded in weather station on one of the towers.
Getting the southern end of the storm. Thank you for your concerns and
prayers. Lauren Libby (Via DRM India group)
(Thanking you, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS, wor 24)
GUAM [and non] Shortly after my previous report about imminent typhoon
strike affecting SW stations KSDA and KTWR, these further posts to WOR
iog, May 23/24:
>From Jose Jacob-IND, to the wor iog; at 0250 UT May 24: " KTWR will be
silent today also. Message from KTWR. The station will be silent tonight
also. Typhoon Mawar should make maximum impact to Guam today.
At 1150 UTC KSDA heard on 15210 kHz but not scheduled 11855, 15500 ?
1230 UTC: 15430 missing, 15710 heard. 1300 UTC: 12055 15505 missing.
15550 tx coming and going. KSDA 1330 UTC: all 15255 15430 15550 missing
today. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS,
National Institute of Amateur Radio, Hyderabad, India, <www.niar.org>"
I'm not trying South Korea SDR until 1548 UT when it's getting nothing
from KSDA on 15615, 15670 or 15680 kHz - as sked.
Nor anything from KTWR on 9900 kHz, nor after 1600 UT on 12080 kHz. Now
that the storm has passed, to discover whether they can resume normal ops,
or damaged and/or powerless.
Details in this story with a 2+ minute audiovideo:
<https:\\www.cnn.com/2023/05/24/weather/typhoon-mawar-guam-storm-wednesday/index.html>
It seems the eye passed just north of Guam,so it could have been worse for
the SW stations and everyone. Are the SW sites in the southern half of
Guam ? Seemingly for KSDA which FCC puts at 13-20 N, while Guam in general
is at 13-26 N according to a web search showing extreme decimal detail
without specifying exactly what part of Guam that be.

The Northern Mariana Islands were also in the typhoon area so USAGM trans-
mitters on SAIPAN Agingan Point and TINIAN island need to be checked out.
Their extensive skeds mixed in with all the other USAGM sites:
<http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A23&broadc=AGM>
My first check of those is at 2030 UT May 24, when only two are scheduled,
in Chinese, 9535 & 6080 kHz. Into SouthKorea SDR remotedly both are do-
minated by Firedragon music, CC talk is definitely under 9535 kHz at
S=9+60dB, and I think also 6080 kHz at S7, which are Saipan and Tinian,
respectively. So those two sites remain operational - unless other sites
have been substituted immediately.
At 2320 UT into South Korea SDR, checking all the NMI frequencies sked
until 2330 or 2400 UT: 15555 kHz Saipan Chinese on with CNR1 jamming;
11700 kHz Tinian Tibetan only; 13715 kHz Saipan Khmer only; 12140 kHz
Tinian Khmer not heard.

NORTHERN MARIANA ISLS IBB "Very Much Interested In Negotiating A New
Lease" for Northern Mariana Shortwave Site(s).
The Department of Public Lands said the International Broadcasting Bureau
"is very much interested in negotiating a new lease" with DPL for the same
property it's been leasing.
Acting DPL secretary Pedro I. Itibus said this in a response letter to
Rep. Stanley Torres (Ind-Saipan), who was following up on the status of
the IBB lease. Torres had said DPL has been losing out on IBB's low rental
rate. Back in February, the House passed a resolution requesting DPL to
"officially investigate and rectify the flawed lease agreement" between
DPL and IBB, and renegotiate the agreement "and seek back payment for
previous years of rental at a lower than appraised rental value that IBB
has been paying since the lease expired in 2006."
Itibus told Torres in a June 9 letter that representatives from the
Broadcasting Board of Governors/U.S. IBB "presented their proposed
additions/revisions of the first draft of the lease agreement DPL provided
to the BBG/IBB."
(Saipan_Tribune, 21 June, 2011, Haidee V. Eugenio)
IBB has two shortwave transmitter sites in the Northern Mariana Islands,
one on Saipan, and one on Tinian. Unsure if this refers to one of the
sites (Rep. Torres represents Saipan), or both. See previous post about
same subject.

GUAM. 15680, May 25 at 1540, KSDA only frequency audible into Japan
SDR, S9+30/40. Seems they have only one transmitter going; AWR ID,
Pune address and phone number in scheduled Kannada; 1559 S/off in
English, never mentions call letters KSDA, power as 100,000 watts.
WRTH 2023 shows KSDA has 5 x 100 kW. Scheduled next at 1600 on 12080
but not on air.
Also at 1536 May 25, no scheduled frequencies from KTWR to be heard.
WRTH says they have 1 x 100 and 2 x 250 kW. Jose Jacob, India heard
from KTWR that they were closing down before the typhoon, everyone OK
afterwards but as of May 25 not yet safe to work on antennas (Glenn

Not surprising. 73, Walter Salmaniw-BC-CAN, wor May 24.
Re: KSDA AWR Agat 9890 kHz missing.
Well, my next check at 2340 UT, 17700 kHz was on with Chinese into South
Korea SDR as sked this hour. Of course, AWR might switch to some other
transmitter site if KSDA disabled. Now both KSDA and KTWR are scheduled
to be off the air until 1000 UT.
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, wor May 24)
GUAM [and non] 9890 kHz May 23 at 1955 UT, tune in one of two KiwiSDRs
in Korea South, for KSDA, AWR scheduled to start a new day at 20-21 UT in
Korean. Cuts on air at *1957UT with incredible S=9+60dB carrier, some dips
to only +45dB. 1959 UT my "Optimum" internet drops out, and not back until
2001 UT when I'm on the other KS SDR where it's much weaker and noisier,
but underway in Korean with AWR mentions, perhaps for the last time ?
Since a super-typhoon is heading toward Guam Pacific and expected to hit
Wednesday May 24 afternoon, circa 04 UT. As soon as we got this story via
Mike Terry-UK.
A monster typhoon is barreling toward a US territory with deadly winds and
25-foot storm surge.
By Derek Van Dam, CNN Meteorologist. Published 10:47 AM EDT, Tue May 23.
Super Typhoon Mawar is barreling toward Guam on Tuesday, threatening to
slam into the US territory as the strongest storm there in more than
60 years. The typhoon, which has strengthened rapidly in recent days, is
posing a "triple threat" of devastation including deadly winds equivalent
to a category 5 hurricane, exceptional storm surge and torrential rain-
fall, according to the National Weather Service office in Guam ...
<https:\\edition.cnn.com/2023/05/23/weather/typhoon-mawar-guam-
forecast-track-tuesday/index.html>
I started replying:
I was going to suggest monitoring KTWR & KSDA whether they be blown off
both totally worthless for any LOCAL news about Guam. WRTH Update
<https:\\wrth.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/WRTH23_INT_Summer-8.pdf>
has nothing under Guam. Instead they are mixed in with other TWR and
AWR sites under Singapore and USA respectively. If anyone can find or
compile KTWR-only or KSDA-only transmission skeds, please do so.
Glenn
Perhaps most convenient will be EiBi database by time:
<http://www.eibispace.de/dx/bc-a23.txt>
For KTWR, search on KTWR, to find it is OFF the air between 1630 and 1000.
For KSDA, search on GUM-a,which is OFF the air at 1830-2000 and 0000-1000.
Not considering day of week variations.
So first up will be KSDA at 20-21 UT in Korean on 9890 kHz.
Glenn, 1833 UT
There is one public radio station, KPRG
<http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php>
and its stream is working
<http://peridot.streamguys.com:5090/live>
I have not investigated for commercial stations. There are many more
utility transmitters which you can find on EiBi by searching merely GUM
There are no KiwiSDRs to be found on Guam by searching or on the world
map. Glenn
I do not see any explicitly local news on the schedule which is UT+10hrs,
but I suppose there may be some such inserts during NPR programs such as
ATC. Here & Now is currently running at 6-8 am. Glenn
<http://www.kprgfm.com/main/index.php?key=schedule>
KPRG did not occupy the optional cutaway in NPR news at 1904 UT, but stay-
ed with NPR news until 1906 UT. Also, I see that KPRG does not carry NPR
Morning Edition which would start around local midnight, but rather BBCWS.
Glenn
Arthur Pozner replies: Radio-locator.com has 21 local stations listed
for Guam. Most of them appear to have live links.
And Jose Jacob, India: Hello Glenn,
KSDA A23 Schedule is in my site:

KTWR A23 Schedule is in my site:
<https:\\qsl.net/v/vu2jos\\A23/KTWR.pdf>
Gary Pence says at 2059UT: Glenn, The radar shows they're getting into it.
I can only hope it moves quickly; the slower it moves or stalls awhile,
more damage and destruction occurs. Gary
So we're all set to follow what happen to Guam and its stations.
SAIPAN & TINIAN with USAGM SW stations are not far away to the North, and
might also be affected. What hath god wrought?

GUAM News from KTWR, May 24. Latest report from KTWR. Staff are safe.
Max wind gust of 108 mph recorded in weather station on one of the towers.

GUAM [and non] Shortly after my previous report about imminent typhoon
strike affecting SW stations KSDA and KTWR, these further posts to WOR
iog, May 23/24:
>From Jose Jacob-IND, to the wor iog; at 0250 UT May 24: " KTWR will be
silent today also. Message from KTWR. The station will be silent tonight
also. Typhoon Mawar should make maximum impact to Guam today.
At 1150 UTC KSDA heard on 15210 kHz but not scheduled 11855, 15500 ?
1230 UTC: 15430 missing, 15710 heard. 1300 UTC: 12055 15505 missing.
15550 tx coming and going. KSDA 1330 UTC: all 15255 15430 15550 missing
today. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Jose Jacob, VU2JOS,
National Institute of Amateur Radio, Hyderabad, India, <www.niar.org>"
I'm not trying South Korea SDR until 1548 UT when it's getting nothing
from KSDA on 15615, 15670 or 15680 kHz - as sked.
Nor anything from KTWR on 9900 kHz, nor after 1600 UT on 12080 kHz. Now
that the storm has passed, to discover whether they can resume normal ops,
or damaged and/or powerless.
Details in this story with a 2+ minute audiovideo:
<https:\\www.cnn.com/2023/05/24/weather/typhoon-mawar-guam-storm-wednesday/index.html>
It seems the eye passed just north of Guam,so it could have been worse for
the SW stations and everyone. Are the SW sites in the southern half of
Guam ? Seemingly for KSDA which FCC puts at 13-20 N, while Guam in general
is at 13-26 N according to a web search showing extreme decimal detail
without specifying exactly what part of Guam that be.

The Northern Mariana Islands were also in the typhoon area so USAGM trans-

Their extensive skeds mixed in with all the other USAGM sites:

My first check of those is at 2030 UT May 24, when only two are scheduled,

minated by Firedragon music, CC talk is definitely under 9535 kHz at
S=9+60dB, and I think also 6080 kHz at S7, which are Saipan and Tinian,
respectively. So those two sites remain operational - unless other sites
have been substituted immediately.

NORTHERN MARIANA ISLS IBB "Very Much Interested In Negotiating A New
Lease" for Northern Mariana Shortwave Site(s).
The Department of Public Lands said the International Broadcasting Bureau
"is very much interested in negotiating a new lease" with DPL for the same
property it's been leasing.
Acting DPL secretary Pedro I. Itibus said this in a response letter to
Rep. Stanley Torres (Ind-Saipan), who was following up on the status of
the IBB lease. Torres had said DPL has been losing out on IBB's low rental
rate. Back in February, the House passed a resolution requesting DPL to
"officially investigate and rectify the flawed lease agreement" between
DPL and IBB, and renegotiate the agreement "and seek back payment for
previous years of rental at a lower than appraised rental value that IBB
has been paying since the lease expired in 2006."
Itibus told Torres in a June 9 letter that representatives from the
Broadcasting Board of Governors/U.S. IBB "presented their proposed
additions/revisions of the first draft of the lease agreement DPL provided
to the BBG/IBB."
(Saipan_Tribune, 21 June, 2011, Haidee V. Eugenio)
IBB has two shortwave transmitter sites in the Northern Mariana Islands,
one on Saipan, and one on Tinian. Unsure if this refers to one of the
sites (Rep. Torres represents Saipan), or both. See previous post about
same subject.

``Veto overrides save OETA, tribal regalia rights
Janelle Stecklein | CNHI Oklahoma 3 hrs ago
OKLAHOMA CITY ? Oklahoma lawmakers overrode 13 of the governor?s
vetoes on Thursday, including those dealing with tribal regalia and
the state?s lone public television station.
Lawmakers noted they had a smorgasbord of bills to choose from, as
Gov. Kevin Stitt had been unusually heavy-handed with his vetoes,
already rejecting 46 pieces of legislation as of Thursday morning.
Legislators were able to garner enough support in both chambers to
override 13 of those vetoes, turning the legislation into law. After
their vetoes, among other things, Oklahomans will have:
? Continued access to OETA, the state?s public broadcaster, which was
at risk of closure after Stitt questioned the long-term strategic
value of the station.
? A state name, image and likeness (NIL) law for collegiate athletes
and universities.
? New protections in law for Native students who want to wear tribal
regalia at public school graduation ceremonies.
? University of Kansas license plates. {??}
? A new makeup of the state?s turnpike authority oversight board.
Many other pieces of legislation made it partway through the veto
process. Lawmakers theoretically could consider addition overrides on
the final day of session Friday as they pass legislation finalizing
the state?s budget.
State Sen. Casey Murdock, R-Felt, said two of his bills were victims
of the political process. He was pushing to overturn Stitt?s vetoes
related to invasive species and protective orders for children.
?It?s not a fun task to override a governor?s veto,? Murdock said. ?I
don?t take any pleasure in having to make this vote. I do it solemnly,
but it needed to happen.?
He said having to correct the mistakes made by another Republican is
not fun.
?Usually in the end, we make the right decisions here,? he said.
Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton celebrated the Legislature?s veto
override of Senate Bill 429, which enshrines into law Native students?
right to wear tribal regalia at graduation ceremonies.
?This measure should not have been controversial,? he said in a
statement. ?It has no costs for schools and expands students? rights
to honor their heritage. We look forward to seeing members of our
tribe and others honor their heritage at important moments in their
lives.?
State Rep. Trish Ranson, D-Stillwater, said 46 Stitt vetoes this year
seems like a lot, but some were related to budget fights and were
?another example of the dysfunctional supermajority that (we have)
going on.?
House legislators Thursday let stand most of the 20 vetoes Stitt made
on fellow Republicans? bills after he became frustrated by their lack
of action on his tax and education priorities.
State Rep. Kevin McDugle, R-Broken Arrow, said the governor understood
a lot of his vetoes related to the budget fight would be overridden,
but they left House members confused over whether Stitt thought the
legislation was sound policy.
?The difficult thing when that?s done in this process is, you really
don?t know what he really wanted to override and what he didn?t,?
McDugle said. ?So it makes it a little bit difficult to try and
decipher that when there?s so many of them.?
Support local journalism.``
{related: note that appointed by Stitt, Supt. Ryan Walters, who has
been making a lot of enemies, even among Republicans, by his extremist
views and axions, ex-officio sits on the OETA board. Since Stitt`s
veto, we noticed that OETA stepped up its self-promotion without
directly confronting Stitt -- gh}
``Education video prompts outrage, tears among educators
Janelle Stecklein | CNHI Oklahoma 6 hrs ago
https://www.enidnews.com/news/education-video-prompts-outrage-tears-among-educators/article_991b816a-fb47-11ed-95d8-83f50fe030f6.html#tncms-source=article-nav-next
OKLAHOMA CITY ? Teachers fled a state meeting in tears and stood in a
hallway shaking and crying after the state superintendent Thursday,
May 25, 2023, unveiled a ?propaganda? video that educators viewed as a
threat to their safety and livelihoods.
Superintendent Ryan Walters? team later sent the media a link to the
full video and posted it to the state Department of Education website,
but then swiftly barred everyone from viewing it by setting it to
private. Walters? team promised to send a ?fresh version,? but over
two hours later, the video remained unavailable.
State education officials also aired an abridged version of the
several minutes-long video at the monthly state Board of Education
meeting, but inexplicably muted the audio for those trying to watch
the at-capacity meeting remotely.
The video features Fox News interviews of Walters discussing teachers
and teacher unions interspersed with a randomly selected mix of
National Education Association speaker clips. It included interviews
with people, whom educators didn?t think were from Oklahoma, and talk
of ?The Young Adult Experience,? as well as blurred graphic and
pornographic images.
It ends with the message: ?We can save education. Our kids are
counting on it.?
?There were tears,? said Allyson Helm, an Oklahoma City Public Schools
teacher who attended the meeting. ?People were shaking and devastated
by these remarks. And it is nothing less than propaganda. It reminds
me of a wartime propaganda video.?
Helm, a registered Republican voter, said State Department of
Education officials tried to draw an insulting correlation between
pedophiles and pornography and educators, she said.
?I taught anatomy and physiology and high school biology for 10 years,
and I didn?t talk about sex as much as these people at the State
Department (of Education) do,? she said.
She also said Walters appeared to be attempting to indoctrinate the
public to his views.
Walters did not respond to a request for comment about whether it was
appropriate to use state resources to make the video or if it was
intended to make educators and parents feel unsafe.
Ashley Daly, a parent of a Tulsa Public Schools first-grader, said the
video was ?very upsetting.?
?It made me worry that there are some people who are already feeling
upset, (and) it?ll radicalize them and maybe make them do something
really dangerous in our schools,? she said. ?Our schools aren?t full
of the awful people that Ryan Walters makes them sound like they
are.?
She said it?s ?terrifying as a parent? that Walters is using rhetoric
that could cause someone to shoot children or teachers, when he?s
supposed to be caring for and protecting them.
Daly, who attended the public meeting, said 90% of Oklahomans send
their children to public schools, and if parents really thought
teachers were ?terrorists or pedophiles,? they wouldn?t send their
children there.
Jami Jackson-Cole, a Duncan Public Schools teacher, said she started
crying part way through the video because her first thought was ?this
is fixin? to get someone killed.? She said the video was beyond
outrageous and indicated that Walters is ?coming after teachers.?
?There?s no doubt in my mind that if you?re not falling right along in
line with everything he says, he?s coming to get ya,? said
Jackson-Cole. ?And we can?t have that. We are in a teacher shortage
right now.?
She was so upset she left the meeting room, then encountered more
teachers outside, also crying. They told her, ?It is putting a target
on us.?
?There?s enough crazy people in this world,? Jackson-Cole said. ?We
don?t need that. So it was beyond vile and reproach. Just horrible.?
State Rep. Mark McBride, R-Moore, said he watched a little bit of the
video after people contacted him outraged, but hadn?t been able to
finish it. Walters already had set it to private.
?You just can?t go around calling people terrorists and things like
that,? he said. ?I think that (with) this conduct we?re losing that
professionalism in all of this. The hatred, the fear mongering that
goes along with all this is just not the way we should be doing
things.?
Support local journalism.``
Greg Hardison, CA, comments: ``Judging by this list of issues, I would
surmise this Gov. Stitt either has the brains of a tennis ball, or in
my untrained opinion, has some serious personal problems to work out,
preferably somewhere other than the state's constituency. How and why
do these lousy excuses for human beings continue to be elected to
power?`` (via gh, Enid, WOR)

0333, `Did You Know That` but I give up trying to understand her.
0348, another promo. 0352 usual s/off with incomplete, jumbled sked.
0353, IS. 0356, pause and restart IS until 0358*. I was expecting IDs
in Malay which follows at 0400 on another frequency but none heard
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
*** TURKEY. 11785, May 26 at 2159, VOT English is back on the air
after missing a triday; I seriously doubt there were any apology or
explanation, but of course I cannot possibly listen to and understand
every word they are saying. Monitoring direct today at S9/S5 with some
increasing ACI from 11780 Brasil; usual heavy modulation but lo-fi
audio. After news, 2212 `Weekly Analysis`, about the elexion and
impending second round = runoff coming May 28, alleges that only
Erdogan can solve Turkey`s economic and other problems [so why hasn`t
he, already?]. Besides music breaks: 2224-2226 multi-lingual ID filler
reel. 2235 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` about irritable bowel
syndrome, a repeat until 2241. 2251 `Did You Know That`, too accented
to understand. 2253 s/off with perpetual defects - no doubt the same
recording as ever; 2255 fragment of IS and off* Something`s always
awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2192 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday May 26 at 1430-1459 on WRMI 9955, S7/S8 direct; maybe a
trace of pulse jamming, briefly.
Also confirmed Friday May 26 at 2055 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1323 kHz but not 918 or 207, S9+10/20 with storm crashes into
nearby Noalel SDR also with some but tolerable music CCI and SAH from
understation, presumed Smooth Radio, Brighton, England, UQKOBANI.

** U S A. (7490-), UT Saturday May 27 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with
`AAAWWW`, quickly recognized as a rerun, as Allan starts talking about
fixing things, entropy; Angela`s mike is on and she is in studio; hot
& humid in Florida, etc., etc. What did he say on disgraced Twitter
today? Nothing: since May 24. Just before at 2359 May 26, the FKB
gospel huxter claimed he is also on WWRB 3215! A station which has
failed to exist for 2 or 3 years now. I`ll check the WBCQ frequencies
into NH SDR, hoping it`s accurately calibrated: At 0012: 5130 -15 Hz =
5129.985; 6160 -66 Hz = 6159.934; 7490 -73 Hz = 7489.927; 3265+ OFF.
WLCR 9330.001. WWV on 10000 & 15000 within a fraxion of 1 Hz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17786, May 26 at 1515, S9 ute noises too close for
comfort to 17790, WRMI`s Radio Africa program aimed at S America
instead. Very repetitive beepery reminds me of fax? instead of OTH
radar-like clickery previously infesting here, intruding into the
middle of the exclusive? ISWBC band; until cuts off at 1518* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
