** CUBA. 13567, 13634; 13767, 13833, 13900, 13967 approx., May 29 at 1420, it`s been a while since RHC has succeeded in spurting multiple spurblobs out of 13700-AM transmitter, but here they are again, none especially strong, at 67 kHz intervals. Best heard in AM mode instead of FM, the closer ones with F# tone and trace of `Sonido Cubano` music; the top one only a trace. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 255-MCW kHz, May 29 at 0622 UT and also at 1418 UT, ND beacon SW in Stillwater is back! It had vanished April 4 after reliable groundwave reception day and night, and in nightly chex, no sign of it since until now. Classaxe.com says it was last logged 2020-04-02, 50 watts, `Blaki`. I wonder if this have anything to do with the amount of traffic at that airport, or lack of it, in the interim (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TAIWAN [non]. 5800 // 9395, UT Sat May 30 at 0130, Freedom Synergy Radio via WRMI, in English - ever heard them in alleged Spanish?
At 0200, FSR continues on 5800 only, this time an interview about how China plans to take over the world, with the help of the UN.
5010 // 7780 // 9395, May 30 at 0200 Radio Taiwán Internacional has resumed in Spanish, unlike the first time I checked, May 27, when FSR usurped/used up all four frequencies at this hour.
So which way is it supposed to be? WRMI websked has a hard time matching reality details, but it now shows FSR only at 0130 on 5800 & 9395; and no FSR at 0200, just Radio Taiwan, on 5010, 5800 [sic], 7780 & 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 281-MCW kHz, May 29 at 0622, ND beacon DMO --- not Des MOines as I first guess, but SeDalia, MissOuri, 25 watts. Classaxe.com has something about it being shut down in Feb, decommissioned in April and last logged 2020-03-25. Not off any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13565-CW, May 29 at 1419, HIFER beacon K6FRC is JBA from Patterson CA. WOR iog member Steve McGreevy says he has set up his own beacon in Keeler CA:
``Hey, I have a 22m -10 mW quasi-part 15 beacon going in the 22m ISM band where there are many. The ever weird 13560 has strange carrier multi-plexi. noises as well as weird dits and other stuff. The CODAR sweepers have left, yay! So many are running beacons plus/minus 13560, and I do so most days: 13562.89 (or so) "RR-dash" via a 1/4 wave wire up 1/6 wave in my shop building/radio-room sub-section - it is in the sleeping loft and the horiz. wire goes along apex of my shop bldg. - anyway, it is on a home-brew div. by 2 circuit via a 3rd. overtone xtal. osc. with a CB-14 xtal., so half CB-14 is its freq., more or less. LWCA lists these things, linked to HFU and v.v.
CNR-1 is occupying 13570 now, splashing its long-path/short-path reverbing-LSB modulations upon the 22m experimental ISM band, bummer! First with the LPE at 16z, than by 1700 getting stronger with short-path signal. Def. CNR-1 // everything/jammers.``
So I am sure to look for RR and dash circa 13563, but no sign of it now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.930V, May 29 at 2346, WBCQ off-frequency-minus for a change, with FKB preacher at S7-S9+10; just prior to AAAWWW, 6159.890v is also on //, and a JBA 5130 may also be //. 2359 closing always with wrong WINB frequency for his next airing, ``9625``, runs over into canned WBCQ ID.
7489.94v, UT Sat May 30 from 0000, WBCQ with `AAAWWW`; as soon as WTO theme finishes, phone rings and Allan has ``got to take this call``, so fishes around for some music to play: how inconvenient. Back on at 0011, says it was engineering call. A&A talk for almost half an hour without phone call interruptions about tech problems: rare May lightning storm caused close-down -- that much have been Wed circa 2100 when there was no 7490 to run WOR. Call was from Chris at Continental. Super-Station is off again [yes, 9330 vacant], as the insulator ring around the PA tube has failed again. Discussing perils of high voltage - a 4160 V switch; transmitter runs 14 kV @ 50 amps. ``If you get a shock, it`s always your fault``.
Finally at 0038 says trimulcasting on 5130, 6160, 7490; and they discuss the bane of black flies in Maine summers; also had to replace a bad tube for 7490 a few days ago; 0044 realizes he had not forwarded the phone lines, which is why not even Freddy has interrupted so far, and opens them on the 29th of May, YOOL 2020. Reads a bit of e-mail. 0054 caller asks what times WORLD OF RADIO is on? AW can`t remember but cosmikdebris gets a reply in just in time: Sunday 11 pm EDT on 5130; Wednesday 5 pm on 7490. Very quick prayer and off in time for Hal Turner at 0200. Here`s John Carver`s version:
``Tonight's show started on time on 7490 and 6160 but was two minutes later on 5130. Allan and Angela in the studio. Phone rang immediately and Allan said he had to take the call and put some music on. Allan back at 0011. Said it was an engineering call that he had to take. Then he said that Angela was beautiful and it'd been really hot in Maine this past week, eighties and nineties. He also mentioned that there had been a shutdown of everything at the station this past week because of lightning. Then he mentioned that the phone call was from the manufacturer of the big transmitter as the superstation was down again. Same problem as twice before, an insulating ring at the bottom of a tube. Then talk about how easy it is to get killed when working on the transmitters. Manufacturer said they couldn't send a repair crew because of the virus and Allan told them to just send him the material for the ring and he'd fix it himself. He did try that when the transmitter went down but didn't have the right material and it only worked for about five minutes before going down again. Then a lot of talk about this particular transmitter. Talk abut Angela's new gardening adventures around the superstation and then Angela's complaints about black flies. They also recently had a problem with a tube on the 7490 transmitter and had to replace it. Some talk about the unrest in the country and then some virus talk. Reading of emails at 0052 and a phone call at 0053. Back to some of the email at 0056. Very short closing prayer at 0059 and off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4840, May 29 at 0614, S9+30/40 of dead air from WWCR instead of Brother Scare while he still rants on 3215; sometimes it`s vice versa. 5935 remains on with DGS/PMS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 17775, May 29 at 1454, zero signal from KVOH: must have broken down again after resuming on May 27 & 28.
Only signals on band: 17615+ Sa`udi, 17690 JBA ChiCom jamming and/or VOA Tibetan via Lampertheim, Germany; and just going off by 1459, 17770 JBA, Turkey in Arabic listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7680, 7315-7330, May 29 at 1424, crackly noise blobs are still around here, and 9830 at 2001 check. I now have a trouble report into OG&E and maybe they`ll get to it next week (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
