DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated June 3:

** BRAZIL. 9665.067, June 4 at 0603, JBA music, presumed RVM, always off-frequency but much weaker than it can be. The only ZY I am detecting on 31m overnight. And hardly any left on the other bands.
We have lost *so many* SW stations, especially from this huge country which not long ago had a thriving domestic SW scene. Here are the SW frequency pages from the 2005 World Radio TV Handbook, only a sesquidecade ago. How many do you recognize or remember hearing?

Thanks this week for financial support from Tom Goodfellow, Palm Desert CA, who sent a generous contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily in US funds as they will convert.

** U S A. 5130, June 5 at 0150, 0159, 0202 chex, NO signal from this WBCQ, when `The Big Broadcast of 2020` is supposed to be repeating triply. I had lamented that the original airing a few weeks ago on 7490 and only in the daytime at 2100 UT would peter out long before it got to OK, so Bill Tilford got this nighttime playback scheduled. 5130 however does eventually come on, by next check 0223. At the outset I also have a JBA carrier on 3265.1, which could be the other `BCQ, but not committed to carry this.
Meanwhile, the BBC does start at 0200 on 7490 and 6159.9v following the far right nonsense from Hal Turner. I don`t need to listen now since I heard it the first time via webcast, but I hope others are getting it better now than I am, with too much storm noise from the SW corner of KS and the SW quadrant of OK.
I notice immediately that they are not synchronized: 6159.9 is a word ahead of 7490, and 5130 is a few words behind 7490. By 0223 all three register S9/+10 on the meter, and 7490 suffers the least storm noise, 5130 the most as to be expected. Now if this were only on 9330 instead of the wacko flat-earthers, would be loud and clear. Too bad the deal with WLC did not allow for WBCQ`s own programming to take over on special occasions or for a few hours per week. It`s the least they could do for causing Allan so much grief to keep it running (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7703 approx., June 4 at 0555, local scratch noise blob peaking here and elsewhere is still/again on. And circa 1400, when an OG&E maintenance truck is spotted next to my closest pole, the one with the automatic streetlight circa sundown, but soon gone and no change yet in the problem.
7703 et al., gone again at 0121 check June 5, clearing the bands for unfettered storm noise (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
