Tornado outbreak early UT May 7. Already by 2227 UT May 6, tornado in next county. All four major OKC TV stations are wall-to-wall, blowing away entire primetime schedules. FM bandscan finds not a single OKC FM station plugged into TV coverage, business as usual -- far-right extremist talk, stupid sports talk, commercials and occasional music; nor at first around Enid. Finally by 0020, KFOR is heard via 89.7 and 90.5 gospel huxters. KOFM 103.1 Enid finally goes to weather coverage, local? much of it off-mike. Each TV station has sibling ``sub`` stations where network prime can be shunted. Not checked until 0350 UT when KSBI `52` has Colbert from CBS instead of on KWTV `9`. NBC might have been shifted from KFOR `4` to KAUT `43` but instead duplicating 4. KOCO `5` might have put ABC on 5.2, MeTV but not now, or ever? KOKH `25` Fox could go to KOCB `34`, unchecked. All three of our TV screens in the studio are active, leading us to conclude the same order of preference for storm coverage, as the virtual channel numbers, 4, 5 and 9 [RF: 27, 7, 25]. A previous outbreak had WTW coverage blowing away NBC News at 5:30 CDT as well as local KFOR news at 10 pm which normally plays back at 12:37 am - so we were pleased to find NBC News then instead, making it truly `Nightly` for once. This night, as we are ready to run for our shelter, two tornado trax storm just north of Enid and just south of Enid. How much longer can our luck hold up? You may have seen what one of `our` tornadoes did later to Barnsdall, Osage County (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. May 8 circa 18 UT I`m bandscanning on the caradio since there has been Es DX into the FM band reported eastward from Arkansas, but I get nothing more than a couple suspicious fadeups on some semi-open frequencies, which could also be tropo scatter. Instead I encounter more local stuff: 89.3, KIEL, Loyal, the ``Radio 74 Internationale`` outlet which is somehow associated with France and the 3ABN TV network, which also carries it on an audio-only subchannel of K17JN Enid, still mislabeled K17JI -- with dead air, then just barely modulation of a tone? pinging at the rate of approx. 144/minute. Later at 2048 with a slightly stronger signal, it sounds like a clipped syllable by a YL voice like ``dap-dap-dap``, etc. Not convenient to check how it sound on K17JN. 87.9, May 8 at 1843 UT, dead air in stereo, full quieting. Was not there an hour before. Suspected from strange vehicle now parked next door, i.e. a mobile RF feeder not turned off when not in use. Later as I drive away, its range is little more than one block. 87.7, May 8 at 2019 UT, dead air in stereo instead of 87.9, at the busiest intersexion in Enid, US 412/81, but maintains, so from a parker, not a passer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2241 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday May 5 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz into UTwente, S8/S9 and no QRM but noisy. I can`t help but notice that some MW DX editors will never publish my Italy 1323 kHz monitoring; perhaps they would if WOR were not involved?? Also confirmed Sunday May 5 at 2154 the 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.001, S9/+10 and noisy into UTwente, and 6160.001, S9/+10 not noisy but with that RTTY dittery from about 6164 unless bandwidth narrowed less than 8 kHz. Also confirmed UT Monday May 6 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into Georgia SDR as Qro. is busy. Not confirmed UT Monday May 6 at 0300 on Area 51 via 6160- WBCQ; previous show ended on time and ID, but instead some extraneous drama. It seems A51 at a whim can skip or delay WOR, but something is still better than nothing, right? Still no WOR by 0319 as I need to catch Turkey`s Letterbox anyway. But recheck at 0346 WOR is halfway and ending about 0359 so must have started at 0330. Also confirmed Monday May 6 at 1937 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, S9+10/15 on 6160.000; S9+5/10 on 3975.002. Next: 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular]; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2241 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday May 7 at 0344 the irregular 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+15 into Querétaro SDR. Confirmed Tuesday May 7 at 1320 the 1300 on WRMI 9955, but S7 JBA direct, my voice recognizable, and seems like crosstalk but nothing else should be on 9955; no jamming audible, anyway.

Also confirmed Tuesday May 7 at 2330 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002, S8/9+10 into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday May 8 at 1931 on SW Radio, Germany, S9+10 on 6160.001, S9/+5 on 3975.001 both into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday May 8 at 2100 on WBCQ 7489.931, only S6/S7 into Maryland SDR, and doubtless much less if I checked direct. Too bad that The Planet won`t employ a higher band in summery daytimes.

Pre-AAAWWW chex of WBCQs, May 3 at 2332 into NH SDR: 3265 off. 5130.206 NOT ATATT but mistake? an AAAWWW repeat of last week or two, S9/+10. 6159.930 g.h. presumably TOMBS, S9/+12. 7489.932 FKB S9+10/20. 9330.000 WLCR Portuguese S9+20/30. At 2355, *rump back and slid down to 5130.182. May 4 at 0000 on 7490v at least, AAAWWW sounds familiar, knox all Members of Congress as ``535 white trash assholes,`` so another repeat, never mind. At 0012, 5130v still ATATT so AAAWWW on 7490v only. I suppose he might impose // on 5130 and 3265 if he had a new one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 12160, Sat May 4 at 1700, `The Talking Machine Show` - really mostly music, not talk! is the only WWCR program we make a point of hearing, but this week there is continuous crosstalk of a gospel huxter, TOMBS? well audible along with TTMS, not only on WWCR-2 but also on its stream which we always prefer. Something`s notright in Nashville. Could be as simple as the TOMBS pot on the mixing console not being completely down and no one notices - rather than transmitter/antenna mixing. So back to Met Opera via KUCO with John Adams` ``El Niño``, a modern take on the JC legend (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN. 11815, May 5 at 0642, RCC liturgy at S4/S7, one of best signals on band. It`s weekly Ukrainian at 0605-0700 Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5100 CW, May 4 at 0712, pips/beeps at the steady rate of 24 per minute; what and why and where? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 11981 approx. center, May 2 at 0640, very fast RTTY, S8, INTRUDER, into SWBC band worldwide. I vaguely recall it once ended at 11970 but now per ITU it`s 11600-12100 --- that still leaves broadcasters below 11600 and above 12100 as intruders into utility bands. Klingenfuss 2022 has no ute between 11760.8 and 12109. Can anyone ID this, should it recur? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See: PUERTO RICO UNIDENTIFIED. 21495, May 5 at 0049, algo S3/S5 with Doppler flutter. Likely FE such as China radio war, but only one hour a week for 21495 in Aoki & EiBi, RFA Tibetan via Tinian, Sat 10-11 UT. Maybe long hours of jamming and SOH up from 21490 I`ve heard before but not now. 21529.91, May 5 at 0050, S5/S7 of music, Chinese? EiBi has SOH on 21529.7 and CNR1 jamming 21530. Stronger than the others. 21800, May 5 at 0051, S2/S3 with Doppler flutter.
