** BANGLADESH. 15505, May 20 at *1359:35, I can barely detect the Bangladesh Betar carrier cutting on late,
but can`t make out a timesignal if any as the Urdu service opens (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake, May 21 before 1400:
13795, fair at 1345. This remains the only real FD still heard, tho I think there are still some in the 7 MHz
band. Otherwise, CNR1 jamming:

13530, good at 1344
13920, fair at 1345
13970, fair at 1345
14750, poor at 1346
15115, fair and 15195, very poor at 1347 (these inbanders not ex-FD)
16920, poor at 1349; none in the 17s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Tornado radio in OKC: Saturation coverage on local TV and national cable networks.

But around 0055 UT May 21, shortly before sunset, checked the AM stations in Oklahoma City, as I know three of
them at least have transmitter sites near the Moore tornado area.

1520 KOKC is on
1000 KTOK is on
 640 KWPN is OFF

Most FM and some AM stations simulcasting one TV station or another
including 1520, 1000, and:
1140 KRMP
1340 KGHM

Regular programming now (if not earlier):

Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] Tornado radio in OKC

Really sad for those people there. Two EF5s in a couple of days. Wow!
Is that area considered Tornado Alley? I know that Tornado Alley gets
some of the worst ones in the country.

Did not check all the FMs for absences, not too familiar with transmitter sites, but 92.5 KOMA and 107.7 KRXO
are on.

All this is some 80 miles from where I am

** CUBA. 6125, May 19 at 0519, RHC English is somewhat undermodulated and distorted; 6165 is somewhat
undermodulated and not distorted. // 6060 mod is OK but weakest as usual aimed toward Europe; and 6010 is OK.

Sunday May 19 at 1401, RHC Spanish has lost modulation, only dead air on: 17580, 15340 vs HCJB, 11860, 11760.
Nominal on 17730, 15230, 13780, 11750, 11690; trace of signal? on 9540. Things always go more haywire than
usual on Sunday mornings, presumably because of long- defunct `Aló Presidente` relay from Venezuela,
which required transmitter and feed shuffling to accommodate, from which RHC has yet to recover (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 11730, May 19 at 0529, surprised to hear NHK giving full English schedule, 0530 into
`Sakura` theme and French as scheduled. The English was // 11970 just before it closed. TDF Issoudun
applied off-topic modulation to 11730 a minute too early (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 2, May 19 at 1533 UT, sporadic-E signal fades in, Spanish. Jockeying rotor, seems slightly east
of due south. A B&W documentary. Probably XHY-TV Mérida, Yucatán; yes, during ads at 1541 I make a match
to webstream via http://sipse.com/canal2/ with the usual delay. It`s only a weak opening so far, in and
out, mostly out, and not above ch 2. Hope to have more in my next report.

Glad to be getting some real TV DX again, while analog still exist in parts of México. But I continue to pine
for something further, extended single hop from Central America, double-hop from Central or South
America, which DXers further east now have little trouble getting with no US stations in the way. But for
me, Mexicans are still in the way.

At 1550 UT, the essential 50 MHz Es maps at 
http://www.tvcomm.co.uk/radio/muf5.html 
and
http://www.dxmaps.com/spots/map.php?Lan=E&Frec=50&Map=NA
show lots of paths across eastern, southern and western USA, but no linx between Enid and Mérida.

BTW, I appreciate the tolerance in SW lists for my including VHF/UHF DX which may simply be ignored if not

HCJB staff unveil a plaque which reads, "HCJB Australia International Broadcast 
Facility. Dedicated to the glory of God. 21st April 2013. 'So that all may hear' 
(Romans 10:14)." (Image courtesy HCJB Global)
Australia (MNN/HCJB) ¯ A 24 year-old dream finally comes to life in Australia.

"Prayer and miracles were very much a part of this 24-year story," says Wayne 
Pederson of HCJB Global.

David Maindonald seemed incredulous as he reflected on his 24-year vision to air the 
gospel via shortwave radio from Australia to the Asia Pacific Region.

“Yes, the story of HCJB Global-Australia is truly a story of what God has done,” he 
told a crowd at the dedication of the ministry’s new international broadcast site in 
Kununurra, adjacent to the original site that had been used to broadcast since 2003. 
“And we want to give Him all the glory,” he commented, referring to an Old Testament 
Bible verse, “See what God has done!” (Numbers 23:23, NIV).

Others urged him to abandon what was called in 1989 his “far-fetched” vision, 
foreseeing obstacles in acquiring radio licenses and land for the site. When 
potential donors were approached with the idea, they predicted problems finding staff
