** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, May 12 at 0100:00, WRMI with Bob Biermann ID, then
0100:30 to RAE starting with their multi-lingual ID, Bob again saying something
about World Band (so this is sorta integrated into Biermann`s Oldies service),
and on to RAE itself, ``celebrating the WRMI relays`` (but it seems only
mentioning this frequency, not planned? // 11580, and for Spanish, only 5950? at
22-23 which is also supposed to be on 11580 now).
(Most of this hour I
must watch Rachel Maddow on MSNBC for first-rate reporting on the scandalous
Trump regime.) 0153 recheck, Farrías` wrapup mentions the Audio Now phone
service, and also says they are ``currently working on expanding SW relays to
all 8 languages``. That should mean a lot more airtime on WRMI, perhaps all
afternoon to Europe (like 15345v was --- hey, WRMI could occupy that frequency),
but what about Chinese and Japanese? A long shot via WRMI (but less long than
direct from antipodal General Pacheco!) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** AUSTRALIA. 6507-USB, May 11 at 1234, very poor signal with
marine weather in Oz English by OM. EiBi shows it`s VMC, Charleville, Queensland
at 0800-2100. This is one of the stations the powers than be say those in need
of weather info should listen to instead of deleted ABC. So now I know where the
sibling to more frequently heard VMW Wiluna WA, 6230-USB at 10-23, resides. Yet
on the 12 MHz band they are only 3 kHz apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6040, May 11 at *1259:20 carrier on, 1300
piano music and presumed Sea Breeze opening weekly Thursday English hour (or
rather two semi-hours), but too weak to copy this far into summer dayside.
Merely confirming no QSY yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6518, May 11 at 1234 noise jamming and presumed Korean
talk underneath. Aoki shows this precise info for both: N Korean jamming of 250
kW from Kujang at 0525-2330 // 6600, vs Voice of the People, 50 kW ND from
Kyonggi-do Koyang, South Korea at 0528-2332 // 3480, 3912, 4450 (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1876 monitoring: confirmed Wed
May 10 at 1030 on WRMI 5850 by Rick Barton, AZ, excellent (should also still be
on // 9455).
WORLD OF RADIO 1877 monitoring: confirmed first SW
broadcast, Thursday May 11 at 2130 on WRMI, 11580, good. Also confirmed Thu May
11 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.23V, fair (but power failure evidently by 2348).

** U S A. 7490.09v-AM, Thu May 11 at 2305, WBCQ with
`Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, sounds like Japanese music, and more variety; 2315
cuckoos and IDs, good on my inside random wire during a storm. 2330 filler this
week is repeat of `Furthermore 29-54` as heard Monday at 2300, again with `Send
in the Clowns` and more music variety.
2348 next check, however, 7490
off the air, evidently power failure at Monticello. By 0001 May 12, I find
9330v-CUSB also off, and no signal on 5130v. 0045 still missing, but by next2
check 0155, back on with BS on 7 and 9, something else on 5, as is scheduled UT
Fridays only `Just Right` from Ontario at 01-02. At 0224 next3 check,
5129.82v-AM is also BS. And I see that the full schedule has finally been
updated to show all the additional BS hours which started months ago,
confounding some English schedule compilers (also sortable for one frequency at
a time)
(Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Checking the new WRMI scheduling on
11580: at 1300: Tue was WORLD OF RADIO; Wed May 10 `Frecuencia al Día`, Thu May
11 `Studio DX`, in Italian, all as on skedgrid (and Fri should be `IBC Radio`,
English/Italian/digital).
But the old sked at 0100 UT on 11580 has been
continuing, not replaced (yet?) by RAE ATTW in English, which remains on 9395
only. Besides Wed May 10 with PCJ Radio International; UT Thu May 11 was
`Sounding the Alarm`; UT Fri May 12, `Your Weekend Show`, and UT Sat should be
`Dub Politico`. However the ID at 0059 on 11580 has been the Spanish one by
Rubén Guillermo Margenet in Argentina, as if to introduce RAE (Glenn Hauser, OK,
