** CHINA [non]. 9790, May 10 at 0643, weak S6/S9 and undermodulated signal in English, discussion by women`s voices. Surely out of CUBA, failing to turn off CRI relay at 0500; might have been an RHC mistake, but not their style, and about China. Nothing else sked on 9790 now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, May 9 at 0629, RHC English still going this late, S9+15/22 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, May 10 at 0645, S9+10/15 of windhowl only, yet the SSOB; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11880, May 10 at 1902, RHC English, S6/S8 into Knoxville SDR, but heavily distorted! A shame on what had been their clearest frequency. // 15140 is axually better, S7. The opposition frequencies are loud & clear on 11860 & 11930. Also compared on a W3HFU remote in Maryland. So this is not an SDR problem. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Stitt vetoes bill to continue OETA Enid News & Eagle May 7, 2026 OKLAHOMA CITY — Gov. Kevin Stitt has vetoed a continuation of Oklahoma’s state-funded TV station, contending taxpayer dollars shouldn’t subsidize public broadcasting. The Oklahoma Educational Television Authority would reach its sunset date July 1 and have a year to wind down its operations, if the governor’s veto is not overridden or counteracted with other legislation. Senate Bill 1461, which Stitt vetoed, would have extended OETA’s existence to July 2031... https://www.enidnews.com/news/stitt-vetoes-bill-to-continue-oeta/article_0d5d9fa3-33bc-4736-bd62-a46535ac98c3.html If you can`t access full story there, I have posted it in the WOR iogroup (via Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 9 at 2209, VOT S9+30 into UTwente with music. At first displayed as 11784.999+ at S9+30, making me wonder if it were else, as too accurate; but step up 5 kHz and back down in SAM mode then displays at 11785.004, more believable; 2215 `Conflict Zones of East Africa`, certainly a VOT programmme as in Alan Roe`s schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11660.003, Sun May 10 at 1630, VOT English, S9+30 into UTwente, s/on now acknowledges that ``you may be listening to a later repeat`` of the original 1230 on 17620 - I am sure this is a direct result of my complaint that otherwise it`s nonsensical to keep saying only that it`s 1230 on 17620. But axually citing the current time and frequency for each broadcast is asking too much. Cemre then into news. At 1640 end of news, also ``originally broadcast live`` rather than acknowledging that it is ``olds``, hi. 1641 theme starting ``The Letterbox Program`` - past week important at TRT, 99 years of radio broadcasting, 6 May 1927. I still have a hard time copying names of listeners and locations! 1) Annan? Bain?, Chat. India, SWL club, listened via UTwente, innocent people killed in Iran war is heartbreaking, has not received QSL cards. 2) Tom Shelton?, Netherlands, 5960 inbooms QRMing 5955 station, could VOT reduce bandwidth? No further details; 5960 was B25 English at 2300 but no 5955 in EiBi at that hour; if in A26, 5960 runs 1830-2100 in Turkish, but nothing listed on 5955 during those hours, either. 5955 could still be a LP or pirate not in listings. 3) Mr. Kuznetsov, Riga, Latvia, 11785 at 1901-1927 UTC! WRONG, she does not realize, it`s at 22+ UT only. 5) A third young person from Zaragoza, Spain, Paul Vicente Farón?; are they all in a club? Also wants pQSL, stamps, heard Spanish on 13725 - that is at 1630. 6) Someone in a DX club in India, 11660. 7) Mr Kazuaki? in Kawasaki City, Japan, 51-year listener, a pharmacist. 8) someone in a listeners club in West Bengal - no one from N America lately. 1657 ending. 1658 `Geo-economix Diary` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2346 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday May 9 at 0300 on WTWW 5085: usual rough start, first few words, cut to ID, start over, but then seems to be OK.

Also confirmed Saturday May 9 at 1554 the 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/25 into Georgia SDR; however cutting out and in for last few minutes, probably SDR problem. Also confirmed Saturday May 9 at 1600 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S9+20 into Georgia SDR; and JBA S7 on 7730 to same. At least 9395 at this time to be replaced by something else later in May.

Also confirmed Saturday May 9 at 2108 the 2100 on WRMI 9395, JBA in HNL. Also confirmed Saturday May 9 at 2230 on WRMI 17790, S9+15 into Bonaire SDR. Also confirmed Saturday May 9 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, S9+25 into W3HFU remote in Maryland. Also confirmed UT Sunday May 10 at 0323 about 4 minutes into when I say ``festooned``, so the 0315v started about 0320 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, in quick LW antenna check during lightning storm direct. Also confirmed Sunday May 10 at 0630 on WRMIs: 5850 S9+45, 7730 JBA, 7780 S7/S9. Mizzzed checking Sun May 10 at 0930 & 1030; anyone? Also confirmed Sunday May 10 at 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995, S9+10 into nearby Noale SDR - and still nothing on 918 or 207: do they ever test/run those frequencies anymore?

Of course worse closer to 9930, heavy QRM to 10000 WWV, 9955 WRMI; and any other weaker signals in the range. Still so at 2140 and 2200 into Crowley TX SDR between 9800 and 10100 or so. I urged George to turn it off immediately until it could be fixed. Did not hear it go off but maybe eventually the splatter lessened. By 1445 May 10, OK, no splatter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1946 UT May 10 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
