** 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 Cuauhtémoc, 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.

** U S A. 9330.000, May 10 at 0226, gospel huxter at S9+30, much stronger than WBCQ ever heard here even at night; since not off-frequency, confident it`s WBCQ-6 on the 500 kW transmitter. Many 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 Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
