Glenn Hauser logs May 4, 2022

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, May 4 at 1525, VOMK Maldives with usual YL in Dhivehi, secret site S9 +5/20 into Coimbatore SDR; 1529 outro in English finishes just in time for *1530 Vatican in Arabic on weaker signal but no perceptible break (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, May 4 at 2020, REE to N America is back on; did not check May 3 but was AWOL April 30-May 1-2. Wild wacko enthusiasm must be about a stupid ballgame. 2157, sounds like game running really late, to pre-empt token English? Nope, 2200 cut to timesignal and open English. News concludes with COVID stats: over 104,000 dead so far in Spain. 2209 feature is talk by Spanish-Mexican professor at Oxford about her book ``Privacy is Power``, now published in English and Spanish. That`s ``PRIH`` with a short I, tho her accent is otherwise sorta American if not TA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 10000, May 4 at 1510, WWV currently filling this minute with announcement about MARS cross-band operations May 14 for Armed Forces Day [non], refers to a website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2136 monitoring: zzz thru Wed 1000
on Unique Radio 5035 USB, and 1030 on WRMI 5850; anyone hear them?

Confirmed Wednesday May 4 at 2118 the 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490.1v, VP in storm noise level, about S3 on indoor antenna between crashes. Finally heard a couple words I could identify as part of this correct edition. Checked an hour earlier when should have been on with another program, nothing at all detected; typical summer service from a station which stix itself on too-low frequencies. Local lightning discouraged me from checking a remote further east. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Mike Lewis, Alexander City, Alabama who sent a generous check to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, and testifies:

``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.
