Alan has also been very busy, compiling a new 2-hour program schedule in English for RHC; and a new edition of his MUSIC PROGRAMMES ON SHORTWAVE schedule, both available in the WOR iogroup
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed June 2 at 1507, LRA36 is on, only S1-S3 with song into Brasília #2 KiwiSDR; not logged in detail as so many times before; but off at next check 1604. I did not check for it last Wed May 26, and it was not on Sat May 29 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Wed June 2 at 2200, REE is not only on but propagating English to NAm, S9/S7, main feature about an upcoming charity performance of de Falla`s `El Amor Brujo` at the Teatro Real; finally to `Ritual Fire Dance` itself from 2218 but truncated at 2230 for timesignal and enough of English. Also well audible on 15520 & 11940 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, June 2 at 2158 JBA carrier vs RTTY, avoided by LSB tuning where the first modulation heard is the 2200 timesignal, so apparently is VOT English. At 2328 via UTwente there is still a JBA carrier, trace of modulation, but can`t tell if extra German. So weak that it could be CNR1 Beijing site also in Aoki at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my sporadic E log: ```92.1, May 31 at 2258 UT, ``Your Country Q-92`` --- There are a few Q92 stations with or without hyphen in US, one in Clinton, north-central Arkansas, too far for GW, and none in the PTA, none in Canada. No 92.1 hits at all on ``Your Country`````
Jon Ellis replies on the WTFDA gg: ``WYRQ Little Falls, MN uses “Your Country Q92.” Jon Ellis www.NorthPine.com ``
Tnx, Jon, that`s likely it, in the PTA. WTFDA DB does not show any slogan, just format, Country: ``WYRQ-FM 92.1 LITTLE FALLS MN COUNTRY 6.0 kW H&V 91.0 m HAAT 45-56-58 94-17-46``
Sounds familiar; yes, I logged it last June 25, 2020: ``1701, 92.1, ad for Midwest Machinery, 1702 ``Little Falls Radio``, news about Pierce School District; plans for August 11 primary vs COVID, Morrison Country, fade-out. All this including M.M. operative in Little Falls among other MN towns makes it: WYRQ-FM, Q 92; L.F. is between St. Cloud and Brainerd in central MN. 1117 km = 694 mi. The Es patch from UP MI must have blown westward`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, June 2 at 0558, JBA carrier from presumed R. Vanuatu, but nothing on X2 = 14520; nor has there ever been, maybe above MUF or does same transmitter on 7260 not harmonicize like it does when on 3945; and also to X2 = 7890; and on X4 = 15780 sometimes heard by Pacificans??
11835, June 2 at 0558 I retune to here immediately and have a JBA carrier which must be China until a much stronger S7-S9 cut on at *0559:34 with music, as RV has just switched to 3945 and its harmonix.
7260 & 11835 had been missing several days, but Ron Howard observed RV was back to ``normal`` as of June 1. He also had it June 2 and pointed out that since it`s Wednesday, CNR2 would be off after 0600; but that was negligible here anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
