** CANADA. 3330 & 7850 & 14670, May 24 at 0207, weak carriers but no timesignal modulation from CHUs. The May 21 storms may have disrupted power supply, but if they can now get on the air at all, why not resume service?? Still at 0634 dead air on 3 & 7 propagating. At 1525, 14670 & 7850 are only JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9439.995, May 24 at 2202, R. Cairo, S9+35 into UTwente with news in English, axually readable tho considerably distorted and hummy, better than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, May 24 at 1526, Voice of Martyrs Korea, S4/S8 in Dhivehi, via secret site direct. If Taiwan as wb suggests, we are *way* offbeam. 1529 music, 1529.8 English sign-off uncovering JBA carrier from Vatican. Similar signal on 11825, S4/S6, known to be Reach Beyond Australia, in Myanmarianese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PHILIPPINES. 15435, May 24 at 1535, Korean at S9/+10, so here`s why: BBC at 1530-1830 via Tinang, no doubt on the 21-degree beam which happens to carry right on toward us making it the SSOB = strongest signal on band - and that includes anything from USA or Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, May 24 at 1956 tune-in via UTwente, OC already on, 1957.6 JIP Russian, pause by 2000, IS and ID R. Svoboda. So the secret unofficial relay, via Armenia? Is active today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, May 24 at 0503-0509, UR1 via WRMI, VG into Maryland SDR, English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue` a little later than usual, leading Ivo to assume it never appeared today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15770, May 24 at 1930, WRMI relay of VOA remote news, VG into Maryland SDR, and from 1935 `Flashpoint: Ukraine` dated for this, the third mensaversary of the War, succeeds --- but wait! At 1946 abruptly chopped to music fill starting with running water, for rest of semihour; 2000, VORW, John explains that he doesn`t have time to do a [new] show tonight, so a rerun ensues. But everything`s fine, he reassures us. AFAIK this hour started airing originally on May 19, so it`s been a while already (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, May 24 at 0639, no signal from this WRMI with TOMBS and consequently no 4975 parasite either. 9455 also off at 0641 while 9395 & 9955 are good. Is 9455 totally off from 24/7 schedule? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
