GLENN HAUSER`S EQUIPMENT. Some editors keep reproducing out-of-date list. Notably, FRG-7, out of service for many years. I still have two of them, neither funxional, on the table next to my primary Icom R75. Other primary is JRC NRD-545. I have several portables but the only ones in regular use as backup or mobile are Tecsun PL-880 and Radio Shack DX-398. Antennas, besides telescopic are indoor random wire clipons, Wellbrook ALA 330S loop indoor permanently aimed E/W for the JRC; and 100 foot E/W longwire for the Icom. And BSR-1 caradio, with fender antenna of about one foot which still gets amazingly a lot.

Our club's web site is: ns9rc.org To help discover 10M band openings, the NSRC has operated a propagation beacon on 28.297 MHz since 2001. It is located at the Heller Nature Center in Highland Park, IL about 27 miles north of downtown Chicago. The beacon was built from a Radio Shack HTX-100 running 5 watts to a Cushcraft AR-10 half wave vertical. CW message keying is performed by an Ultimate PicoKeyer. The 10M band is open a lot more than you may think, even during periods of low sunspot activity, so be sure to check the beacon portion of the band between 28.200 and 28.300 regularly, you may be pleasantly surprised with what you hear. Reception reports on our beacon are always welcome and over the years we have received them from over 30 countries and every continent except Antarctica.

And also 10m ham beacon DX from all over at 2205-2248. Researching all this is not finished before I need to dispatch this report, so will have details for next time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Finally my first sporadic E FM DX of the season: DXMAPS indicates some high MUFs, so June 3 at 1517 UT, I start bandscanning: on the south-facing porch only a metre above ground level to minimize local and fringe signals which are always in the way and somewhat tropo-boosted in the morning; and on the battery-powered DX-398 with telescopic antenna only, which I can swiftly manipulate vs QRM or to take advantage of polarizations; PL-880 as backup but not needed: its tuning is haywire, requiring locking down any frequency tuned lest it wander around, and certainly no bandscanning with it. Meanwhile a cat quizically wonders what`s going on upon his favorite table perch. Primary reference in the aftermath is the excellent WTFDA FM Database. Distances are approx., city-to-city from distancefromto.net, not exactly transmitter to receiver coördinates. Note: I do not count stations, states or anything, and am not in competition. Many logs are circumstantial after considerable research. I am open to any correxions or assistance in IDs. Also, the fun for me in this is the detail and research, despite it taking a lot more of my time than the original DXing! My eyes glaze over to DX logs condensed to one line as some editors insist upon. 88.7, first channel checked, since already tuned as I also use it for internal RF feeding, at 1517, break in `1-A` show, 1518 mentions Troy Public Radio, so it is: WRWA, Dothan AL, Troy University Public Radio, 50 kW h&v u.o.s., 143 m HAAT. 1287 km = 800 mi 88.7, at 1523, brief CCI to above and/or Ponca City, ID as ``Z-88.3``. Yes, NOT 88.7. This fits exactly: WMYZ, relay of: WPOZ 88.3, The Villages FL, ``Z-88``, 35 kW/82 m. That previously unheard-of city of 51K as of 2010y is just south of Ocala. 1702 km = 1058 mi 91.9, at 1525 & 1528, Moody Radio promos vs KS? CCI. Only fit in PTA is: WMBV, Dixons Mills AL, 62 kW/187 m. DM is a tiny town of 290 as of 2010y in west central Alabama; that`s 4.68 people per kW ERP. 1045 km = 649 mi 96.5, at 1530, toe fungus and Tracfone ads, 1531 ``Z 96.5``. Only hit is beyond probable target area: WAZY-FM, Lafayette IN, CHR, 50 kW/152 m. UNLESS search on Z96 without a space or hyphen, ergo: WZNS, Fort Walton Beach FL, CHR, 100 kW/140 m. Again at 1607, see below. 1238 km = 769 mi 96.5, at 1531, CCI to above, Spanish music. Lots of LP and a few full power possible in US, but very likely WOEX Orlando FL, 99 kW/454 m. 1774 km = 1102 mi 99.5, at 1533, ``Big Country 99-5``: altho there is a little WV by this slogan, rather it`s: KXBL, Henryetta OK, 100 kW/299m, rimshotter to Tulsa market. I leave these non-DX in for informational purposes. 201 km = 125 mi 104.3, at 1534, promo for something - ``--- Country`` --- too many possibilities, but not OK or KS 90.1, at 1535, NPRish talkshow, not OK or KS 90.7, at 1536, ballad.

First thought maybe name of insurance co. on a state route - highway, but search finds that refers to an official document form effective in OK and perhaps elsewhere. But the 800 leads to MT Printing, Kitchener-Waterloo ON. Why would they be advertising?

Merely: KVSP, Anadarko OK, rimshot to OKC: bet you didn`t know native Americans were into Macy`s or hip-hop. 150 km = 93 mi By 1640 I`m no longer getting Es DX, from FL or anywhere, so quit, and shortly checking the DXMAP, see FL is completely out of skip zone now, moved further to N and W, i.e. MUF if any is skipping right over OK. At 1748 a quick check on caradio finds no Es either (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A.

Another sporadic E FM DX session June 3, this time on stock 2004 Nissan caradio with fixed antenna, no RDS: 92.1, at 2326 UT, baseball game, but maybe not same station as central Minnesota ad at 2327 for concrete products, Brainerd. Closest one to there is: WYRQ-FM, Little Falls, country, 6 kW/91 m. 1117 km = 694 mi 93.1, at 2329, ``93-1, The Border`` atop Kansan: CFOB-FM, Fort Frances ON, 21 kW/81 m. 1407 km = 874 mi. Right across from International Falls MN 93.3, at 2334, ``Z 93.3, Today`s Best Country``, Brainerd mention or is that CCI? KBLB, Nisswa MN, country, B 93.3, 100 kW/170 m. Nisswa is just north of Brainerd. 1162 km = 722 mi 94.5, at 2337 hard rock f/in/out; 2344 more like praise rock, and 2345, ``taking the stress away from a long day, love songs and Delilah[?], Y94``. No hits without a space or hyphen. With a space, only words ending in Y space 94, like MightY. With a hyphen, only one hit but doesn`t fit format or PTA, FWIW: WYYY, Syracuse NY, AC, 100 kW/198 m. 1993 km = 1239 mi. Maybe not really a Y? After a break, one more caradio session, UT Sat June 4 at 0137-0207: 94.5, at 0137, C&W, YL DJ, mentions Georgia? Only full power in GA is : WBYZ, Baxley, Country, Z 94.5, 100 kW/309.1 m - but need more to ID. 1517 km = 943 mi 96.7, at 0139, C&W, got to be Es DX on locally vacant channel. At 0150, romantic rock music 94.5, at 0145, ``Richmond`s Q94`` with CCI: WRVQ Richmond VA, 200/200 kW, 107 m. Look at that power! Old grandfathered station? 1817 km = 1129 mi - not the Richmond in NSW! 97.5, at 0159, C&W music, mix baseball game. Likely Es, anyway. Nothing more to report until I quit at 0207 UT. Besides all the CCI and ACI, also frustrating are all the national ads which have no local references; even some weather reports manage to avoid anything local; and too much long music trax especially in the evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7890, June 3 at 0630, JBA carrier in bandscan, so I know R. Vanuatu must have reactivated 3945 and its harmonix, and immediately tune to X3 = 11835: song unseems ``island music`` past 0636 and none of usual drumming and announcements at this time; weaker than usual S5/S6. Manuel Mêndez, Spain and Ron Howard, CA, also caught it back on. BTW, Vanuatu has made an aid deal with China, which is spreading its influence among Pacific islands, like already with Solomons; diminishing Australian, US influence. Ron Howard refers us to: China strengthening ties with Vanuatu https://english.news.cn/20220601/b0054fa85650433bb752cf34f5d2f614/c.html And DXer Bruce Churchill, Capt., USN, ret., replies: ``I hope no one really thinks that China is only interested in promoting benign “cooperation” with Vanuatu (or any of the other 10 Pacific Island nations they are courting). What they are really doing is taking advantage of total neglect of these nations by both the U.S. and Australia – in China’s “36 Stratagems” long-term strategy (Google “36 Stratagems” for more info), #12 is “Seize the Opportunity to Lead Away a Sheep”…in other words, take advantage of (in this case) a power vacuum when it presents itself. China’s long-term plan for the Pacific is a threat to both Australia and the U.S., and for those not steeped in history, think Tarawa, Peleliu, Truk, Kwajalein, Guam, Saipan, et al., that we had to wrest from Japanese control at the cost of many thousands of American lives. “Those who neglect history are doomed to repeat it”, as the familiar saying goes.

That would be 19725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, June 7 at 0627, RV S8/S9 with YL in Bislama; 7890 has some JBA talk rather than JBA carrier; and even 15780 has a JBA carrier, hard to believe it`s anything but RV on 4X 3945 as well as 3X and 2X. 15780 has been reported by Pacificans. Now how about 5X = 19725? A remote westward into the dayside may be required. As for 11835, Ron Howard has posted some amazingly strong clips of it, you would never guess were harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, June 8 at 0615, R.

Tens of millions of people believe the 2020 election was stolen, and democracy itself stands on crumbling ground. Sharply conflicting abortion laws will inflame the rancor between blue and red states. Even the supposedly nonpartisan Supreme Court has split along the seams, with justices openly expressing scorn and suspicion of the enemy faction. These are all symptoms of an underlying metastatic disease: a lack of trust. The reason Australia had a per capita COVID death rate one-tenth of ours, The New York Times recently reported, is that Australians trusted their scientists, their government, and each other, while Americans emphatically did not. In a very real sense, 900,000 Americans died of distrust. Americans cannot trust that our kids will go to school without being shot. We can't trust people to wear masks in a pandemic, because so many insist they have a right to infect others. We can't pass sensible gun-safety laws because some people passionately believe they need weapons of war to defend themselves against government tyranny. Many Americans no longer trust organized religion, corporations, capitalism, their employers, or the media. We do not share a common set of facts and values. We have self-sorted and retreated into our own worlds, our own websites, social media feeds, cable networks, and communities. Separated by impenetrable walls of tribal loyalty, we cannot come together to solve our problems, even when they are killing us. Thoughts and prayers. This is the editor's letter in the current issue of The Week magazine.
