** CANADA. 2749-USB, May 7 at 0112 UT, marine weather by YL in French at
 S7. Didn`t really expect to hear it under summer noise conditions, but 
just after sunset here so darkish path exists. Per
http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/Marine-Communications/RAMN-2015/Part-2-Atlantic-Facilities-Information
starting at 0040 it`s VCO Sydney NS from Port Caledonia site, but 
doesn`t say they transmit any French (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5990, May 7 at 0058, CRI relay is still going with music, while
 6000 prior to RHC English is already on with carrier, so not the same 
transmitter, not explaining howcome 6000 service wound up on 5990 last 
week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9268, May 7 at 0103, 4x/second Cuban pulse jamming QRMing 9265 
WINB which isn`t even in Spanish; stray? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
 DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9530, May 7 at 0110, VP S6 signal, with two receivers, can 
barely make // music on 4765 R. Progreso, of which 9530 is second 
harmonic. Usually at least a JBA carrier on 9530 evenings (0030-0400 the
 4765 schedule), suspected to be this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, May 6 around 1930, R. Kuwait with stories in English 
about the PBUH fellow, as I was hoping for some music to lull my nap. 
Good signal far outstripping JBA North Americans on 15825, 15770, 15610,
 15555, also better than Spain on 15520, 15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, May 7 at 0057, reactivated summer frequency 
for The Mighty KBC via Nauen, GERMANY. No more worries about clashing 
with Cuba on 6145. Starts out at S9 but steadily weakening. At 0125, 
S5-S7; 0135 S4-S5, weaker than 9935 &amp; 9420 Greece. Yet another 
European further south and more power, ROMANIA keeps to S9+30 on 9730 in
 French, S9 on 9790 in Romanian, but both mostly music. At 0125, 9730 is
 still 30 over. KBC anyhow should improve into summer on the average. 
Not only that but scheduling means it competes with several American 
music programs, mostly bigger-signaled; see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-USB, May 7 at 0100, DJ Dick Weed, Radio Free, 
What-ever ID, at S8 about = noise level. No other pirates heard this 
hour, and 6940 is off by 0141 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Slight level-1 tropo enhancement over eastern OK 
into KS (not including OKC), with a number of Bad bars, but a few 
decodes, starting at 1407 UT May 6:
RF 31 from Derby (Wichita) KS:
31-1, KDCU-DT with Univisi?n; no other subchannels
RF 45 from Wichita KS:
3-1, KSNW-DT
3-2, Telemun[do]
3-3, ION [strange, main channel only, then]
3-4, Justice
This matches market 105 at https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php except he may now remove the (soon) from Justice. Would exactly the same lineup be on other Kansas State Network stations?
KSNW will be repacked to channel 15, which means same as KTBO ``14`` 
OKC, which would once have been a too-close no-no. Hope it`s enough to 
QRM the worthless TBN signals this far. Also interesting that I am 
getting this rather than another RF 45, KOTV-DT in Tulsa as other Tulsa 
channels are in.
RF 20 from Muskogee (Tulsa) OK:
19-1, KQCW-DT, no other subs
RF 28 from Okmulgee (Tulsa) OK:
44-1, KTPX-TV, Ion, presumably with the 4 other subs, not checked. No repacking info, so this one to go off.
BTW, it`s strange to see r-e pulling three Joplin MO LD stations into 
the Tulsa market #63. Maybe like the Enid listing for RF 48, KUOC-LD, 
these are fantastic. KUOC is apparently on the air, but from a tower on 
western outskirt of Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, May 7 at 0113, SLBC carrier already on at S2, but 
not too noisy this band; JBA talk from 0114:46, JBA music from 0115:35 
but could not make out any mis-timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9770 &amp; 9870, May 7 at 0108, no signals from VOT in 
Spanish. Both transmitters must be off the air, since e.g. Romania is 
inbooming on 9790, 9730. Recheck at 0137, now both are on at S6-S8 and 
S6-S7 respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15730, May 6 at 1941, open carrier steady at S9+5, GB already 
warming up for the 2000 VOA French to Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1876 monitoring: confirmed Saturday 
May 6 at 1431 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB via UTwente SDR in 
Holland, noisy signal but completely readable and no QRM from China! Off
 at 1500* sharp, when then a trace of CRI theme. Quite an improvement 
over inaudibility last few weeks. East Turkistan must be too much over 
daypath now at this hour. Axually tuned in at 1427 to hear the ending of
 my propagation outlook for Media Network+. Keith says relaunch of 
website http://pcjmedia.com has been delayed, but podcasts of previous programs are still accessible.
WOR 1876 also confirmed Sat May 6 at 2230 on WBCQ 9330.0v-CUSB. Also 
confirmed UT Sunday May 7 at 0329 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, 5 
minutes in about Albanian webcasts, Tirana mayor, so started circa 0324.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. A bunch of music shows insist on competing with each other UT Sunday at 0100, May 7:
9395, at 0102 May 7, WRMI-5, with ``Heartache``. I think I have heard 
this song several times on random tuning of 9395; sparse playlist? Back 
to Oldies channel, since RAE Argentina to the World is UT Tue-Sat only 
during this hour.
5085, at 0105 May 7, WTWW-2 with `Theater Organ from the Ozarx`, Bob 
Heil playing ``Downtown``. This is my first choice so I put it on the 
superior speaker of the PL-880 which also doesn`t need much antenna 
extension to capture this bigsig. By 0132 he`s playing ``Spanish Flea`` 
and doesn`t finish until 0135.
4840, at 0106 May 7, WWCR-3 with `Talking Machine Show` playing a 
107-year-old song with consequent low fidelity, but that`s what it`s all
 about.
3215, at 0107 May 7, WWCR-1 with `Martha Garvin`s Musical Memories`, hymns belted out with self-accompaniment on piano.
All of these surpass the weakening rock music on 9925, The Mighty KBC; 
not to mention ROMANIA with two more music channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, May 7 at 0116, S9+25 of dead air from WTWW-3 which is 
often the case at this hour; why not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1630, May 7 at 0129 UT, S9+15 of dead air, loops for KKGM Fort
 Worth TX, my closest and usual dominator. By 0132 UT I make out a bit 
of music, maybe KKGM just barely modulated. Format is gospel. Sounds 
like English, so not KRND WY; 0143 UT now some talk under, presumably 
KCJJ IA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1700, May 7 at 0129 UT, Spanish play-by-play of a game 
involving a pelota, mentions Colombia, so KKLF Richardson TX ``Banda 
13`` is a sports station at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)
