A few evening TE signals manage to sneak thru on 10m; another PY2 on 28400, but soft-spoken and could not copy full call (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 16m now propagating in the nightmiddle! As swelling sunspots combine with summery TE conditions: 17790, May 3 at 0615, just barely modulated music and talk at S6/S9, AWR French via Talata, 0600-0630 daily per Aoki, 250 kW at 310 degrees per HFCC: high MUF daypath no problem as far as W Africa, but MUF maintains across the darkside; the SSOB shared with:
17530, May 3 at 0617 same level signal in English: BBC Talata at 0600-0800 daily, 250 kW at 315 degrees. The only other signals: much weaker JBA carriers on 17830 = BBC English Woofferton; and 17720 = CRI German via Kashgar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15400+, May 3 at 0620, JBA signal slightly offset plus but not measured. VOA English from Pinheira scheduled. I just heard exactly the same offset pitch by 15399+USB tuning as on 15379+USB tuning, so figure they must be related: No, see SAUDI ARABIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 15380+, May 3 at 0619, JBA signal slightly offset plus but not measured. HQS from Riyadh scheduled. Then I find another JBA on 15400+, exactly the same offset so figure they must be related: No, see SAO TOME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, May 3 at 0501-0507, Ukrainske Radio 1 via WRMI with English `Ukraine: Security Issue` on Day 68, VG into Maryland SDR. I hope someone is archiving these: ~6 minutes a day-by-day summary of the war, historians could audition in sequence one year (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 13635, May 3 at 0622, S7/S8 music and Tuerkiyeish talk. The 7-hour TRT at 06-13 UT is underway toward Europe so also thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2136 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday May 3 at 0054 the 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 & 9455 both S9/+20 with some storm crashes into Missouri SDR; but more bass modulation on 9395.

``I have been an on-and-off World of Radio listener since the late 1970’s ... I regret that I have utterly neglected the most valuable and thankfully still enduring radio resource, World of Radio! ... Fortunately, World of Radio is still with us. I am finally doing the right thing and offering a contribution, and plan to do more in the future.``
Also, last week`s thankee, Joe Caberlin, Ontario, would always also like to be known as VE1EJ; originally from Nova Scotia.
