Then back to NRRs for the next set of failures: Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton. Tnx Richard Langley who first reported their latest time confusion: ``A fairly good signal on 15034 kHz USB today (26 May) down here in The Keys at about 21:30 UTC. As usual, many "no report received" for both Canadian and overseas sites for current weather. But there were complete forecasts given for several sites.

Re KTWR missing all frequencies since Mawar, John the VORW reports to WOR iog: ``I found this on the TWR Facebook Page - in regards to the status of KTWR, it reads as follows: "Typhoon Mawar has left the Pacific island of Guam, and as we’ve shared previously, TWR staff and their families stayed safe. However, damage to the facilities of KTWR, our shortwave station on the island, was worse than originally believed, and members of our TWR family on Guam are in the midst of a difficult situation. Challenging days lie ahead, and your prayer support is greatly needed. Grant Hodgins, station director at KTWR, and two key members of the team were able to reach the station on Thursday morning. Although it was still too windy for a close inspection, it was apparent that all five of our antennas sustained damage, Hodgens reported. KTWR uses shortwave signals to reach a large swath of Asia with the gospel message, and because of the nature of shortwave, the programs are aired at night. But for the third night in a row, KTWR was unable to broadcast on Thursday night. The team planned to regather at 9 a.m. Friday – 7 p.m. Thursday in the Eastern U.S. – to determine next steps. A key issue will be Antenna 1, which is a total loss, Hodgins said. The families of TWR personnel are all accounted for and are doing okay. Still, most have no power or water. Staff on Thursday were focused primarily on caring for their families. To be sure, the impact could have been much worse. As the typhoon approached Guam, the southern section that includes KTWR was in line for a direct hit. We asked for prayer, you responded, and we watched in wonder as our Father pushed the storm northward at the last minute. We sustained a glancing blow instead of a direct hit. But a glancing blow from a Category 4 storm is a serious matter. Please continue to be in prayer for our TWR family on Guam and the 173,000 residents of the island, all of whom have been affected. Please also pray that we’ll soon be able to resume programming to the listeners across Asia for whom TWR is a spiritual lifeline."

Lawmakers Override Gov. Stitt's Veto, Extend OETA Contract Thursday, May 25th 2023, 4:05 pm By: Haley Weger {with audiovideo} https://www.news9.com/story/646fcee6aac85008de01f309/lawmakers-override-gov-stitts-veto-extend-oeta-contract Lawmakers are using the final days of the legislative session to override Gov. Kevin Stitt’s vetoes. One of the vetoes: to extend the contract for OETA to continue operating until 2026. The override ensures that the continuation of the only public TV station in Oklahoma, which was a big goal of the state legislature this year. Both the Oklahoma House and Senate decided to override the governor’s veto for the OETA bill on Thursday. A bipartisan effort in both chambers. The governor vetoed the House bill that would continue funding OETA earlier this month. Stitt called OETA an outdated system saying, “I don’t think Oklahomans want to use their tax dollars to indoctrinate kids." The governor’s office sent News 9 a list of shows that Stitt deemed “inappropriate content,” including an episode of “Clifford the Big Red Dog” that featured the topic of gay marriage. ============== https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/politics/state/2023/05/25/oeta-funding-oklahoma-legislature-house-overrides-governor-kevin-stitt-veto/70256730007/ Lawmakers override Stitt's vetoes, including OETA legislation Dale Denwalt Oklahoman The Oklahoma Legislature fired back at Gov. Kevin Stitt's veto authority on Thursday, ensuring the continued survival of OETA and criticizing the governor's "tantrum" earlier this session that led to 20 bills being vetoed. Cheers broke out in the Oklahoma House of Representatives as lawmakers approved the bill that reauthorizes OETA as a state entity for at least another three years. The Senate added its override vote a few hours later. In his veto of House Bill 2820 last month, Stitt said he questioned the public broadcaster's value to the state. He later claimed OETA "overly sexualizes" children and indoctrinates them. Asked for proof, he pointed to news programs that discussed transgender issues and scripted programming that acknowledges the existence of LGBTQ people. Thirteen bills were pressed into law Thursday as lawmakers spent hours undoing the governor's decisions. Some had pointed words for the governor. State Sen. Julie Daniels, R-Bartlesville, said Stitt "ignored the authority of the Legislature" when he vetoed a bill to reauthorize the board that oversees licensed architects and interior designers. Stitt also showed "no logical reason or rational thinking" when vetoing a bill that corrected an error in previously adopted legislation, said state Sen. Todd Gollihare, R-Kellyville. During the months-long legislative fight over how to give families a tax credit for sending their child to private school, the governor vetoed 20 unrelated Senate bills as retribution for not yet adopting his tax cut and education plans. "We're not even dealing with a policy bill, yet here we are today taking up the time of the Senate to address a veto message that appears to me to be nothing more than a tantrum," said state Sen. Chuck Hall, R-Perry. Senate Floor Leader Greg McCortney referred to the bills as the "tantrum 20." "During a recent tantrum, the chief executive of the state indicated that he did not think it was important for hospice patients who reside in nursing homes to have quick access to pain medication," said McCortney, R-Ada, referring to the veto of Senate Bill 249. Between the House and Senate, lawmakers considered veto overrides on nearly three dozen bills Thursday, but only 13 were overridden by both chambers. In total, 32 out of the 46 bills vetoed this year remain in jeopardy, including legislation on victim protective orders, McCortney's bill on hospice medicine and modifications to assistance programs for state employees and disabled Oklahomans. House lawmakers sustained the governor's veto on legislation that could have made it more costly to defend against SLAPP lawsuits, or strategic lawsuits against public participation. Vetoes on the following bills were overridden by both chambers on Thursday. Lawmakers will meet again Friday, leaving time for additional overrides if leadership bring them to the floor. SB 299: Re-creates the Oklahoma Advisory Council on Indian Education SB 429: Allows students to wear tribal regalia during graduation SB 563: Relates to Medicaid reimbursement for anesthesia SB 623: Various measures related to Service Oklahoma issuance of driver's licenses SB 712: Directs the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to provide emergency opioid antagonists (naloxone) to hospitals SB 775: Relates to county employee education programs SB 840: Allows collegiate athletes to negotiate name, image and likeness contracts without securing a licensed agent SB 951: Raises county commissioner and sheriff travel allowance HB 1843: Transfers responsibility to enforce the Patients Right to Pharmacy Choice Act from the Oklahoma Insurance Department to the Oklahoma attorney general HB 2255: Authorizes several new specialty license plates HB 2263: Removes the governor's sole authority to appoint members to the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority HB 2820: Reauthorizes OETA for another three years HB 2863: Establishes the Oklahoma State University Veterinary Medicine Authority to oversee veterinary medicine education programs (via Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA.

Lawmakers noted they had a smorgasbord of bills to choose from, as Gov. Kevin Stitt had been unusually heavy-handed with his vetoes, already rejecting 46 pieces of legislation as of Thursday morning. Legislators were able to garner enough support in both chambers to override 13 of those vetoes, turning the legislation into law. After their vetoes, among other things, Oklahomans will have: • Continued access to OETA, the state’s public broadcaster, which was at risk of closure after Stitt questioned the long-term strategic value of the station. • A state name, image and likeness (NIL) law for collegiate athletes and universities. • New protections in law for Native students who want to wear tribal regalia at public school graduation ceremonies. • University of Kansas license plates. {??} • A new makeup of the state’s turnpike authority oversight board. Many other pieces of legislation made it partway through the veto process. Lawmakers theoretically could consider addition overrides on the final day of session Friday as they pass legislation finalizing the state’s budget. State Sen. Casey Murdock, R-Felt, said two of his bills were victims of the political process. He was pushing to overturn Stitt’s vetoes related to invasive species and protective orders for children. “It’s not a fun task to override a governor’s veto,” Murdock said. “I don’t take any pleasure in having to make this vote. I do it solemnly, but it needed to happen.” He said having to correct the mistakes made by another Republican is not fun. “Usually in the end, we make the right decisions here,” he said. Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton celebrated the Legislature’s veto override of Senate Bill 429, which enshrines into law Native students’ right to wear tribal regalia at graduation ceremonies. “This measure should not have been controversial,” he said in a statement. “It has no costs for schools and expands students’ rights to honor their heritage. We look forward to seeing members of our tribe and others honor their heritage at important moments in their lives.” State Rep. Trish Ranson, D-Stillwater, said 46 Stitt vetoes this year seems like a lot, but some were related to budget fights and were “another example of the dysfunctional supermajority that (we have) going on.” House legislators Thursday let stand most of the 20 vetoes Stitt made on fellow Republicans’ bills after he became frustrated by their lack of action on his tax and education priorities. State Rep. Kevin McDugle, R-Broken Arrow, said the governor understood a lot of his vetoes related to the budget fight would be overridden, but they left House members confused over whether Stitt thought the legislation was sound policy. “The difficult thing when that’s done in this process is, you really don’t know what he really wanted to override and what he didn’t,” McDugle said. “So it makes it a little bit difficult to try and decipher that when there’s so many of them.” Support local journalism.`` {related: note that appointed by Stitt, Supt. Ryan Walters, who has been making a lot of enemies, even among Republicans, by his extremist views and axions, ex-officio sits on the OETA board.

Superintendent Ryan Walters’ team later sent the media a link to the full video and posted it to the state Department of Education website, but then swiftly barred everyone from viewing it by setting it to private. Walters’ team promised to send a “fresh version,” but over two hours later, the video remained unavailable. State education officials also aired an abridged version of the several minutes-long video at the monthly state Board of Education meeting, but inexplicably muted the audio for those trying to watch the at-capacity meeting remotely. The video features Fox News interviews of Walters discussing teachers and teacher unions interspersed with a randomly selected mix of National Education Association speaker clips. It included interviews with people, whom educators didn’t think were from Oklahoma, and talk of “The Young Adult Experience,” as well as blurred graphic and pornographic images. It ends with the message: “We can save education. Our kids are counting on it.” “There were tears,” said Allyson Helm, an Oklahoma City Public Schools teacher who attended the meeting. “People were shaking and devastated by these remarks. And it is nothing less than propaganda. It reminds me of a wartime propaganda video.” Helm, a registered Republican voter, said State Department of Education officials tried to draw an insulting correlation between pedophiles and pornography and educators, she said. “I taught anatomy and physiology and high school biology for 10 years, and I didn’t talk about sex as much as these people at the State Department (of Education) do,” she said. She also said Walters appeared to be attempting to indoctrinate the public to his views. Walters did not respond to a request for comment about whether it was appropriate to use state resources to make the video or if it was intended to make educators and parents feel unsafe. Ashley Daly, a parent of a Tulsa Public Schools first-grader, said the video was “very upsetting.” “It made me worry that there are some people who are already feeling upset, (and) it’ll radicalize them and maybe make them do something really dangerous in our schools,” she said. “Our schools aren’t full of the awful people that Ryan Walters makes them sound like they are.” She said it’s “terrifying as a parent” that Walters is using rhetoric that could cause someone to shoot children or teachers, when he’s supposed to be caring for and protecting them. Daly, who attended the public meeting, said 90% of Oklahomans send their children to public schools, and if parents really thought teachers were “terrorists or pedophiles,” they wouldn’t send their children there. Jami Jackson-Cole, a Duncan Public Schools teacher, said she started crying part way through the video because her first thought was “this is fixin’ to get someone killed.” She said the video was beyond outrageous and indicated that Walters is “coming after teachers.” “There’s no doubt in my mind that if you’re not falling right along in line with everything he says, he’s coming to get ya,” said Jackson-Cole. “And we can’t have that. We are in a teacher shortage right now.” She was so upset she left the meeting room, then encountered more teachers outside, also crying. They told her, “It is putting a target on us.” “There’s enough crazy people in this world,” Jackson-Cole said. “We don’t need that. So it was beyond vile and reproach. Just horrible.” State Rep. Mark McBride, R-Moore, said he watched a little bit of the video after people contacted him outraged, but hadn’t been able to finish it. Walters already had set it to private. “You just can’t go around calling people terrorists and things like that,” he said. “I think that (with) this conduct we’re losing that professionalism in all of this. The hatred, the fear mongering that goes along with all this is just not the way we should be doing things.” Support local journalism.`` Greg Hardison, CA, comments: ``Judging by this list of issues, I would surmise this Gov.

EDITORIAL: Lawmakers listened to constituents, voted to override OETA veto --- Enid News & Eagle Editorial Board May 29, 2023 Oklahoma State Capitol (OSC) A native Redbud tree in bloom for spring is shown on the state Capitol grounds in Oklahoma City. The Associated Press https://www.enidnews.com/opinion/editorial-lawmakers-listened-to-constituents-voted-to-override-oeta-veto/article_6d4b86bc-fbd2-11ed-8d0c-f77bd06b3149.html It was a wild end to the regular legislative session with Oklahoma lawmakers overriding 13 of Gov. Kevin Stitt’s vetoes, including one dealing with OETA — the state’s public television station. It wasn’t entirely unexpected by the governor’s office to have most of these vetoes overridden — he had vetoed several bills as leverage for his public education and tax credit plan — which he got. However, the most significant disappointment to him might be the overwhelming override of his veto against OETA. The governor had vetoed a typical funding authorization bill, and later said he believes OETA is indoctrinating children to the LGBTQ and transgender lifestyle. “Some of the stuff that they’re showing, it just overly sexualizes our kids,” Stitt said in April. “There’s parents defending child transition on PBS that’s being played.” Thankfully, most constituents in Oklahoma and lawmakers saw through this ridiculous ideological and hyperbolic accusation. OETA is one of the nation’s most watched public broadcasting stations, and despite Stitt’s concerns about some programs that support LGBTQ, most parents realize there is more good informational and educational programming on the station than what Stitt is concerned about. Public television still has an important role in Oklahoma. While several states are cutting or eliminating funds to public television, OETA remains extremely popular among Oklahomans, and it serves all 77 counties. We’re thankful lawmakers listened to their constituents and voted to override the governor’s veto on funding OETA. Support local journalism.

Wish I could copy, but too fast by surprise and only twice? I suspect same pattern like before as explored in great detail last February, per: https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2023_0209_0216.txt with linx for searching, a full call was traced to the MS/AL/FL Gulf coast: ``CODAR CW ID copied on 4752+ kHz exactly every icosaminute, twice at :03, :23, :43 past the hours, WRPW597`` So I`m back on 13550 by 0602, and barely perceive a trace of another ID burst but uncopiable. No doubt we can eventually get it by monitoring at :02, :22 and :42 past the hours. It may be audible over a broader range than 13550 only; CODAR expanse at 0542 was approx. 13435-13565. Another check at 1522, weak CODAR and no ID heard altho maybe tuned in a few seconds too late. Also a JBA carrier on 13550, one of countless ChiCom jammer frequencies against Sound of Hope.

At 0322 however a quick data? burst which may have been an ID in some other form. At 0342 one long tone. Nothing after 0400, when CODAR itself has almost faded out. Guess will require attentive monitoring over a whole hour, or more. 13500, May 30 at 1518 I`m parked here closer to the center peak of CODAR, 13445-13550 with 2X/sec pulses, only S6; and an ID does fire at 1522, thrice but again I can`t copy it beyond WR---- something.

But 7570 TOMBS is S9/+10. Aiming it thisaway makes all the difference (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2192) ** U S A. (7490-), UT Saturday May 27 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`, quickly recognized as a rerun, as Allan starts talking about fixing things, entropy; Angela`s mike is on and she is in studio; hot & humid in Florida, etc., etc. What did he say on disgraced Twitter today? Nothing: since May 24. Just before at 2359 May 26, the FKB gospel huxter claimed he is also on WWRB 3215! A station which has failed to exist for 2 or 3 years now. I`ll check the WBCQ frequencies into NH SDR, hoping it`s accurately calibrated: At 0012: 5130 -15 Hz = 5129.985; 6160 -66 Hz = 6159.934; 7490 -73 Hz = 7489.927; 3265+ OFF. WLCR 9330.001. WWV on 10000 & 15000 within a fraxion of 1 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7490-, Sunday May 28 at 2200, NO signal direct, not even a JBA carrier from WBCQ for `UBMP`. Is it even on the air? It is by 2248 when I check via Maryland SDR. Propagation has been pitiful tho SF and K-index numbers seem moderate, but there have been and shall be blackouts. Anyway, needs to be on higher band summer daypaths - but not too high. Even the SuperStition on 9330 is VP altho probably not aiming thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130 -22 Hz = 5129.978, UT Tue May 30 at 0235, S9+5/15 into NH SDR, I tune in WBCQ R. Angela; on the sked every week in May this hour is `Marion`s Attic`, but it`s `Greek Music Refuge` instead, nice mx with occasional words from Zach, closing at 0259 by UB not giving the title. And 0300 `FTIOM`, an hour when there is a fifth Monday at the curator`s choice. I check my calendar again: yes, this is Monday, not Friday. Furthermore, a surprise replay of WOR 2192 at 0400 UT Tuesday, perhaps makeup for incomplete airing on UT Saturday. HArdly: already off at 0422 check: probably chopped circa 0412, the usual finish on Monday nights. Must have been a playback of the UT Saturday program file, which had problems originally. Seems WBCQ is unable to adapt to short-term variations. Anyway, check http://wbcq.com/radio-angela-schedule-may-2023.pdf for what`s planned for the rest of May --- and that`s it! Just in from Bill is some very sad news: ``Press Release: Radio Angela To Cease Broadcasts May 31 WBCQ's Radio Angela, which began broadcasting a little over a year ago, was a bold experiment in quality programming. It carried world music (including the last Greek music on shortwave after Greece itself stopped broadcasting on the sw bands), great literature read aloud, new music releases by independent artists, some of the best vintage music on any radio band, science and comedy. It avoided the political and religious programming about which so many shortwave listeners love to complain but which are also the bread and butter that keep most private shortwave stations alive. The production standards were frequently nearly public radio quality even when not sourced from public radio. We also brought several new voices from around the world onto the shortwave bands who had never been there before. It was known from day one that its long term success would depend upon attracting an adequate amount of both listener contributions and program buyers outside of regular core hours. Critically and artistically, Radio Angela was a great success, and many thanks to all who gave us public and/or private support of any kind. Financially, however, this has not proven to be viable. The airtime buyers didn't come, and neither did enough donors. Consequently, Radio Angela's last transmission as Radio Angela will be May 31 (June 1 0200-0412 UTC). Some individual programs are likely to continue in some form on the WBCQ grid; my own individual flagship programs (From the Isle of Music and Uncle Bill's Melting Pot) will be going on hiatus for a least a month, possibly longer, on both 5130 and 7490, and my other shows will be discontinued altogether. This is a purely financial matter, and if we could find a nice wealthy philanthropist who loves shortwave, perhaps this wouldn't need to happen. This is hardly the first quality venture on radio or tv to end this way - Radio Angela had more weekly broadcasts than the original Outer Limits television series to name but one example, and the roads of radio generally are littered with the corpses of worthy broadcasting concepts and stillborn projects. My thanks to Angela and Allan Weiner for going out on a limb and backing the project, to all the content providers for their hard work and excellence, to the technical staff, some of whom are no longer with us, and to those of you who cared that we were on the air. Those who lament the religious and political programming that keep private shortwave stations alive are welcome to consider us a case study in what is likely to happen without those dollars. I obviously lack the right answer, but I have learned a great deal about the right questions. 73, William "Bill" Tilford, Owner/Producer Tilford Productions, LLC 809 S. 20th ST Lafayette, IN 47905-1551 email: bill@tilfordproductions.com phone: 773.267.6548 website: www.tilfordproductions.com`` How unfortunate.
