** AUSTRALIA. 28262 CW, June 12 at 2204, long dash and VK2RSY beacon, relog. WGB list: ``28262 VK2RSY - Sydney NSW AUS QF56mh - #0 (10 Jan 2024) Note: ID + grid + 30" carrier. Pwr 25w`` - really gets out. Otherwise had beacons from UT and CA, see USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, June 12 at 2019 UT, dead air in $tereo, no doubt semi-local KIMY Watonga. RDS still displays statickly GOSPEL__ / STATION. Still dead at further chex past 2200. Std remark about how can a station expect to have any listeners if no one there even notices when it`s silent? Used to have a translator in Enid on 93.1 which added another level of unreliability (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, June 12 at 1510 UT and at random chex last few days, Enid`s only local TV signal, K17JN-D misidentifying as K17JI-D, is apparently off again. Now there is a BAD signal on RF 17, probably KTEN Ada, as area tropo is up. Or possibly K17JN-D is on but underpowered, and even more subject to DX QRM. It`s the 3ABN network satellator with multiple sub-channels, two or three of them AUDIO ONLY (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed June 12 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+20/30 direct, M. Quintana only, preview about Spain backing South Africa in ICOJ case against Israel. 2201.5 news starting with far-right gains in EU elexions including in Spain. Other three frequencies much weaker but audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 12 at 2159, VOT IS JBA direct vs S9 noise level. From 2225 I`m on UTwente where measured, S9+20/45, in music. 2228.5 `Sports Panorama` MEGO. 2233 songs only to 2253 s/off by OM unmentioning SW, into IS until 2254.5* chop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sporadic E MUF well into FM band today June 12 but none caught here in several afternoon bandscans. One patch was too close over NW OK/SW KS to be of any use here. At least managed some HF Es, 10m band beacons: 28300 at 2203, perennial high-power K6FRC in California. 28209+ at 2207, VVV VVV VVV DE K7EMX/B. WGB list: ``28209.5 K7EMX/B - Kearns UT DN39xp - #0 (06 Oct 2023) Note: ID + grid`` - Sounded closer to 28209 than 28210.

Also had one from AUSTRALIA, q.v., F2 of course, but last hop maybe assisted by Es.

And he`s talking about WBCQ! Unfortunately fading, R3/S5-S9 so I cannot copy all the details, but fragments. Mentions air filters for transmitters, Allan this-and-that. The MW-50 transmitter. Got a transmitter from WYFR/WRMI in FL, moved by Ryder rent-a-truck. Now his signal has varied down to 7288.82. 3265 transmitter is just sitting there, nobody wants to buy time on it. Refers to a fire happening, belch. Not clear whether something recent or historical. Finally at 0648 gives his callsign WA1HLR, and off. Can`t hear his contact. 0649 back on and back up to 7288.90. Says WBCQ has a CP to move FM station into non-commercial band! Finishes at 0653 addressing his contact as Blair (?). And I am QRT whether he is or not. If he runs much later into night, will clash with RRIndonesia on 7289.93; watch out, Ron Howard. The 7290 area of c

** CHINA [and non]. 11900, June 11 at 1457 noise jamming over a JBA carrier; at 1500 ``Yankee Doodle Dandy`` of VOA sign/off audible until 1501* by when jamming also stopped. This hour only, 14-15 UT is VOA Chinese via PHILIPPINES. Not Firedrake or CNR1 jamming, but noise, very unusual for China. At first I thought it might be the Sa`udi noiseblob ex-11935 where there is nothing now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 15180, June 11 at 1926, continuous traditional Chinese instrumental music, no announcements and no vocals, S5/S7 with flutter into Maryland SDR. Not as percussively raucous as Firedragon used to be. Nothing in Aoki, EiBi or latest HFCC to account for any CRI language being music-filled or anything else ``needing`` jamming during this hour. Off abruptly at 2000*. Could it be a NF for e.g. Portuguese which is sked this hour on some other frequencies but always music-fill only? I check all those frequencies into UTwente, as well as all other possible languages, mostly music but nothing is // 15180. Unless totally wrong, most likely vs Sound of Hope on an unknown and perhaps unused frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, June 11 at 0635, R. Rebelde is absent again.

KSDA scheduled this hour. A second hour at 2300 switching to Sri Lanka would likely be on a different exact frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, June 11 at 2049 UT, still intolerable local line noise level especially on LW & MW, but diminished just barely enough to copy beacon SW, StillWater, so still/again on the air (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11745.012, June 11 at 2234, S9+20 in Arabic, presumed Al Azm, for forces in Yemen; earlier someone reported it on 11935 instead, confusion at transmitter site or logger? with Rep. of Yemen Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.019, June 11 at 2158 no signal direct from VOT English. Finally cuts on at 2159.5 with dead air, no IS, until 2201 JIP Ms Badax with presumed olds, too much noise at S8/S9 vs VOT at S9+10/20. Into UTwente at 2231 when measured further off-frequency than usual, Ms Badax in commentary about Pak/India, music. 2246 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` about carpets -- maybe they are not trying to say ``geomarketed`` which would mean exported, sold abroad, while geomarked seems to be something about marking sources of products on a map. 2249 music. 2254 Badax s/off as if the 1230, chopoff at 2254.7* before IS can start. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15120, June 11 at 2203, S9/+10 of dead air, presumably Grimesland failing to turn off VOA after Bambara until 2200 weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

BTW, The Epoch Times, related newspaper to SOH and Falun Gong, has been hit by a scandal: ``Federal prosecutors in New York charged Weidong “Bill” Guan of Secaucus, N.J., chief financial officer of The Epoch Times, of steering at least $67 million in criminal proceeds, much from fraudulently obtained unemployment insurance benefits, to the company, its affiliates and himself.`` Epoch Times CFO is arrested and accused of role in $67M multinational money laundering scheme https://apnews.com/article/epoch-times-cfo-indictment-money-laundering-caad358778bb6b73e32e9f989f3b9665 What will become of The Epoch Times with its chief financial officer accused of money laundering? https://apnews.com/article/epoch-times-conservative-trump-money-laundering-543d184d378e570683e7d10326973240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non?]. 15775, June 10 at 1507, S4/S5 carrier, JBM? Unusual anything next to 15770 WRMI. EiBi shows nothing but ChiCom jamming and Sound of Hope. Propagation very degraded with the only bigsigs the four WWCRs, 15825, 13845, 12160, 9980. K-index at 1500 only 1.00 but WWV reports more often than not, to levels 1, 2, or 3, geomag storms, solar radiation storms, and radio blackouts. The 27-day Outlook issued today shows peak A indices today of 35 & 6; June 11: 20 & 5; June 12: 10 & 3. Then 5 & 2 or 8 & 3 thru July 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, June 10 at 0348, ``Josiah`` on Station YHWH is reactivated after a few months` absence, tnx to tips from Eric Fettters-Walp in WA and Walt Salmaniw in BC. I`m tuning a northern Utah SDR, where his thin voice is marred by storm crashes. MEGO this anti-Christ pirate obsessed with Yahweh stuff, just as I am with pro-Christ gospel huxters but let him play in background; still at 0428, but by 0432 he`s gone. Did not notice any themetune. Earlier had transmitter failures and resumed, they say. EFW`s first revival report was June 8 before 0420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday June 9 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG S9+30/40 direct and the other three confirmable. Feature to be about the Sorolla Museum featuring 100 objects. 2201 Justin Coe with detailed contact info. Skips news with no explanation or apology, right into M. Quintana interview about ``Sorolla y Cien Objetos`` - another totally visual medium on a totally aural medium, so I suggest: https://www.centenariosorolla.es/actividades/sorolla-en-100-objetos/ https://fineartconnoisseur.com/2019/03/sorolla-spanish-master-paintings/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sunday June 9 at 2203, VOT not off the air, Ms Badax speaking, sounds more like commentary than olds this early in hour, but pauses for ``news`` sounder. S9+35/40 into UTwente. 2218 `Letterbox` starts, host obviously looking at mail for very first time, no preparation. Says he will be off next week for 5-6 day holiday, sounded like Eid?? So will spend with family. Weather is hot now, explains seasons. First from Argentina, Nestor di F--, who says he is not getting foreign postal mail, so please eQSL? And then another one from him with photos. His report from February was for 7240 - but the B23 HFCC shows that used only for Uighur at 03, and not at all in A24! VOT refuses by policy to eQSL but maybe host will photo a QSL for him and send that to him! This first one took a full 10 minutes. 2228, Konstantin Barsenkov, a regular from St. Pete, Russia; Greece - comments on how despite hostilities some Turx like to visit Greece. Then from India in English about listening in Urdu. Another from India explaining what SDRs are. Second one from the first Indian. Another from India. Finally ``my man``, Alan Holder, Isle of Wight, UK, who impresses host with how much he knows about Turkey, but has not been listening much lately due to chores, rainy May. Discusses host`s motorcycle accident, urges him to avoid sheep. Got new tyres, as Honda dealer urges Turkish ones better for its terrain than Japanese ones. By law in Turkey, cars have to swap winter and summer tires twice a year, a nuisance. Alan wants more content about what`s going on in Turkey, less music and less commentary about international affairs. Explains that the only news they can broadcast is what has been provided in original Turkish for translation. 2251 finally ``time`s up`` but no music filler this time as he has run almost up to end of transmission! Holder reply was at least 10 minutes too, but did not note exactly when it started. 2252 L`box outro theme. 2253 Ms Badax s/off as if the 1230 on 17620, and IS played only one sesquitime before chop by 2254*, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.

** BRAZIL. 4885, June 9 circa 0645 routine bandscan, still zero from R. Clube do Pará. It used to be 24h, always audible around my 06-07 UT chex; not heard for months and had not noticed any reports of it earlier until this one, in the NASWA iog: ``Robert Wilkner - Pómpano Beach, Flórida, 4885, Brasil, Rádio Clube do Pará, Belém, PA, 0100 to 0112 with fair signal music 4 June`` -- Of course, Echo of Hope and/or N Korean jamming also on 4885 but would not be audible at either daytime hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, June 9 at 0222, RHC not off the air, strong but JBM in presumed English; 9700 not on; 9580 with CRI in Chinese also JBM. Somethings` always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Sunday June 9 at 1513, RHC in weekly Esperanto, S6/S7 into Maryland SDR but no signal on 15140. Note that nouns, even proper names, must end in -o, thus ``Radio Havano Kubo`` and stress invariably penultimate, so it`s ra-DEE-oh. ESL speakers however cannot always break their Spanish pronunciations of some words, like polítiko. 1519 a song in Esp`o with guitar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, June 9 at 0223, pirate rock at S9+5 including high storm noise level, HSNL, the only pirate on band, OPOB. Never in a sesquimegayear would I have guessed it`s Barf Nugget Radio as per several reports here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,130310.0.html There was an SSTV ID at 0227, off at 0236 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 89.3, June 9 circa 1645 UT and anytime, KIEL, Loyal, the 3ABN station a.k.a. R. 74 Internationale, remains in MONO only whether music or talk, and I should add is constantly undermodulated, which seems odd for an FM station, altho a pervasive problem with AM signals on SW or MW, presumably because of ageing equipment incapable of full modulation. Despite my previous reports, WTFDA FMDB still does not mark it MONO (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Sunday June 9 at 1659 UT as I am hunting for Es DX, notice that KOSU is in $tereo music, and indeed ToH ID also branding as ``The Spy``. On weekdays the rule is mono until UT with NPR/etc. news/talk, then $ $py. This is amid a bihour 16-18 UT program per sked, `Toaster Brunch` of Jamaican music [not to be confused with low-power 6YC-395 in Kingston or 6YC-648 in Montego Bay]. But there is more $py on weekends; trouble is, KOSU sked does not make it clear which are which nor which are mono! `The Spy` is title of specific local-originated music blox, but also applies to music stuff from elsewhere. O, this explains that Toaster Brunch is the only Spy-program outside the overnight blox, along with convoluted history of The Spy branding from one OK station to another, to another, etc.: https://www.kosu.org/show/the-spy I suppose there could be some non-Spy programming with a musical element, whether or not KOSU master control bother to switch $tereo on and off. I suppose The Spy deal be financially advantageous for KOSU as it has endured, despite discouraging public-radio contributors who would not want any of their money going to support that for which KOSU has semisold its soul (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 107.7, June 9 at 1633 past 1700 UT as I am fruitlessly bandscanning for any Sporadic E, can`t help but notice dead air in $tereo here, where near-local quality 92/92 kW KRXO OKC should be, silly sportstalk. Not only on caradio but on DX-398 showing static RDS: _CHISE___ -- but that may be holdover from another frequency as I can`t get it again by tuning away and back. A remote possibility poor KRXO is being supplanted here by yet another idling Part 15 RF feeder, but why would it not be on a `clear` frequency? 1830 recheck still DA, and RDS icon does display tho nothing in the RDS window. Depending on whip angle, seems to be a weak modulated undersignal, but probably from overload (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. Continued from last report: VOT English, 11785.009, into UTwente June 8 at 2253 reverted to Ms Badax` s/off claiming this was the 1230 on 17620, and IS until chop at 2255.8* just in time to avoid switching to German IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2246 monitoring: confirmed Saturday June 8 at 2300 on WTWW 9475, VG S9+40 direct. Also confirmed finally starting at 2330 instead of 2333 on IRRS/NEXUS/IBA/IPAR webcast, and playing to completion 2359. However, I noticed another show was faded out incomplete before 2330, `Off the Wall`. A bit I heard seemed to be anti-*rump tho a clip of him played. It originates with WUSB on LINY and its podcast at least times a full 60 minutes: https://www.2600.com/offthewall/ -- at June 9, IRRS webcast started `Feature Story News`, which used to precede WOR at 2330, but dumped out of it after a few seconds, into piano music until 0005 and then dead air. Specific programming before and after is unaccounted for on the IRRS sked as in so much of their 24/7, generic. Altho I was notified

Inadequate signal from Béchar into UTwente, and Maryland SDR, so I pick the only Kiwi close to the boresight, TWR Kenya: shows 17599.902, but I think it`s miscalibrated, since UTwente puts it on 17599.997 at the least; TWR also gets a squeal inaudible elsewhere so suspect receiver or Nairobi-area problem, not transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 28228 CW, June 4 at 2203, only 10m beacon is JBA, usually fading when it comes to ID after EEE DE ---, but finally conclude it`s ZL3TEN, as recently also logged, as per WGB list: ``28228 ZL3TEN - Rolleston, Christchurch NZL RE66ej - #0 (09 Jan 2024) Note: ID + grid + eee`` -- and not to be confused partially with another TEN right next to him: ``28228.3 TG9TEN/B - Guatemala City GTM EK44mv - #0 (16 Mar 2024) Note: ID + grid - HTX 100 1w into A99 vertical`` Only other sig on 10m was someone calling CQ in English on 28460 USB, but not back in ~4 minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Correxion: I recently referred to 1170 Tulsa as KFAQ, in connexion with IBOQRM to 1160 KSL. Shows you how much I listen to/care about that station, format now silly Fox sports. FCC info on call sign history with Begin Date: KTSB 09/06/2021, KFAQ 05/10/2002, originally KVOO from 1926. I think Voice of Oklahoma was much neater, stupid of them to ditch it. KVOO still not assigned to any AM station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 13650, June 4 at 2053, English about film awards, S9/+20, soon RRI sounder and s/off this 2030 to WEu/ENAm, next broadcast at 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, June 4 at 1650, no horrible noise blob, but Arabic, VP S6/S7 into UTwente, presumed Rep. of Yemen Radio service via Riyadh, but with heavy ACI from 11940 CRI English this hour only by Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, std. denunciation, S9+15/20. LSB tuning helps but still bothering. ACI gone by 1700 but now I hear some CCI noise under 11935, not the roaring sound when strong and alone. By 1728 Qur`an in clear, S9+15/20; 1820 still clear, S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday June 3 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct, and good enough on 15520 while 15390 & 17715 are JBA but confirmable. Again today, only Marilyn Quintana, guess Amy Egan vacationing? Nothing like Turkey but MQ does have an accent unlike Amy. Top news is PM Sánchez facing no-confidence vote. Interview checked at 2210, something about getting medical/health advice via audiovisual means. The podcast is titled: ``Innovative entrepreneurship: AI at the service of society`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 3 at 2200, JBA carrier direct, but a few minutes later nothing at all from VOT English. Nor on accidental alternates 11795, 9875. Ditto by 2220 check of UTwente. Something`s erroneous at Emirler. Nothing else listed on 11785 around this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 4 at 2157, VOT IS & IDs in English, not off the air today, S9+10/20 direct but vs S8/S9 high local line noise. 2200 accurate timesignal; s/on mentions `Review of the Turkish Press` after news [sic] but no specific segments after that besides music. 2233 I`ve switched to UTwente, S9+40/50 as Ms Badax is reading `Weekly Commentary` as shortly outroed at 2236, music. 2240 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products` about some cream from processing milk, no further into cheese, it seems. 2242 music. 2247 `ABYS`. 2248 music. 2253 s/off with no mention of SW. 2253.5 IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs to 2257*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2245 monitoring: confirmed Monday June 3 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, into UTwente: 3975.003 S9+7 and 6160.001, S9/+10. Missed checking UT Tuesday June 4 at 0330 on WRMI 7780; anyone hear it? Sked shows Wavescan but WOR has been showing usually. Confirmed Tuesday June 4 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, VP S8/S9 direct.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 28262 CW, June 3 at 2207, JBA beacon with long dash and VVV but can`t copy the call thru several repetitions. Another one on 28282. Only other 10m sig is Brazuguese on 28410 USB. Long time since 10m has been replete with beacons, despite Es MUFs allegedly way above it. Per WGB beacon list, 28262 likely VK2RSY Sydney NSW which I had logged recently in

** CHAD [non]. 15505, June 3 at 0618, S7/S8 in very heavily accented French. It`s R. Ndarason Internationale via Woofferton UKQOGBANI this hour, per EiBi and the following hour via Ascension. WRTH 2024 page 578 shows languages used are Kanuri/Kanembu/French without any specific times. Editors who insist on deleting any of my [non] headers, also delete the context and very raison-d`être for such stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sun June 2 at 2220, VOT English not off the air, VG into UTwente with TRTWorld promo, and `Weekly Commentary` about Rafah, etc., written by John somebody but read by Ms Badax, mentions ``Israel commits genocide``. 2226 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2227 `The Letterbox Programmme`, mostly QSL requests from: New Delhi regular, China-no name?, David Ansell? England, Japan, China, India. 2242 time`s up so must play mandatory never identified song; THEN 2246 L`Box outro; ``always-by-your-side`` promo, song. 2251 headlines by Ms Badax. 2253 her s/off as if the 1230 on 17620. 2254 IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs, to 2259*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2245 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday June 2 from 1903, new time on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+15/20 into nearby Noale SDR. Following 3-minute Verdi theme at 1900. And now THIS WOR is chopped short by 2 minutes so VOA news can air at 1930! Then at 1935, 16 Gwendolyn Street. A 29-minute program is never going to fit into a 27-minute slot! Without a speedup? Surely a way could be arranged to carry the whole program {this edited version replaces original}. Also confirmed Sunday June 2 at 2000 on WRMI webcast only and WRN Europe stream. Also confirmed Sunday June 2 at 2130 on Shortwave Gold/Radio, Germany, into UTwente, S9+20/25 on 6160.002, S9+15/20 on 3975.003. Missed checking the new Sunday 2330 June 2 on WRMI 7570; anyone hear it? Also confirmed UT Monday June 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. Confirmed UT Monday June 3 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 -70 Hz = 6159.930, S8/9+5 into Maryland SDR. At least once during program and shortly after 0329 finish, overriding noise blasts. Not sure whether external QRM or something internal. Confirmed Monday June 3 at 1737 so would have started about 1730 UT on SatZentrale webcast via https://www.satzentrale.de/technikradio/sendeplan.shtml On the sked of this substation, WOR not mentioned but part of ``MONTAG 19 Uhr [MESZ]: Technikradio - Kurzwellenecke (deutsch/englisch)`` WOR however is shown on this page also with Play link: https://www.satzentrale.de/technikradio/programm.shtml And no other time during the week but this is a 2-hour block so WOR might appear at 1700, 1800 or 1830 UT? Next: 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 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.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, Monday June 3 at 0615, S9+20 of dead air, obviously WMLK which attempts to broadcast toward Europe overnight, except on UT Sabbathdays; much stronger here than usual, ironically, and still dead at 0704, tsk2. I guess no one be awake at Bethel and monitoring own output. What would DEJOM say? Wolfgang Bueschel also reports, via remotes: ``15150even USA WMLK from Bethel PA state, S=9+20dB strong signal, but only carrier seen on screen. No audio program content at this hour, 0425 UT on June 3. Slight 120 Hertz buzz tone audio noted and seen on screen too`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, June 3 at 0622, World`s Last Chance Radio, nonsense facilitated by WBCQ, not in usual exaggerated British accent, but American, pseudo-scientific wacko explanation of how the Earth has to be flat, by shooting lasers across the oceans, etc. People are being ``indoctrinated with globalism``. Really laughable, but how many credulous listeners may he convince?

Re: [HCDX] Checked 19, 16, and 13 mband today June 3 at 04.00 to 05.30 UT
Altho copied to the WOR iog, I`ve yet to see it here. I reply to the 15770 WRMI log: Religious? Radio Liberty? Is this a private program rather than USAGM? Nothing mentioned by that name on the WRMI Programming page. If it be USAGM`s, it`s Violating Separation Of Church And State!

** AUSTRIA. 9510, June 2 at 0254, S Asian music and 0257 talk in presumed Punjabi ending with ``Amen``, 0258 PO Box in Lahore, Pakistan, AWR ID and off 0259.5*, EiBi shows Moosbrunn site at 0200 Urdu, 0230 Punjabi. Quite a good signal wasted over here, S9+20 and not directly off the back, per HFCC only 100 kW at 91 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. 9580, June 2 at 0253, tune of ``Frère Jacques`` but not in French, presumably Mandarin like this hour via CUBA, S9+20/30 but very undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 9700, June 2 at 0251, RHC Spanish is on tonight, about the Mexelex today, VG direct, nothing on 11760 and RRI Spanish safely away on 9740 also with VG signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 9670, June 2 at 0252, S9+10/20 of pop music, much better signal than usual from Channel 292, reported to be testing new direxional antenna thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6880 USB, June 2 at 0147 pirate music, S9 but so is the high storm noise level.

WORLD OF RADIO 2245 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday June 1 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, S9+15/25 into Maryland SDR - overlooked including this one in my previous report.

In South America we are squeezed between ACI from 9470 & 9480. Also confirmed on stream only of IRRS/NEXUS/IBA/IPAR still starting at 2333 after 3 minutes of Feature Story News; and fading me out, twice by 2400 with 2 minutes remaining, for a minute of harpsichord fill music, and then stream crashed so unknown what next tho scheduled more news and then generic non-info. Surely they could let WOR run its full 29 minutes one way or another. Also confirmed UT Sunday June 2 at 0014 the on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 and noisy into Bonaire; S9/+12 into Maryland SDR even tho it`s aimed SSE.

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) ~Aggregator - World Radio Network: Updated links to point to A-24 schedules. (Thanks to Alexander Miatlikov in WOR iog mail list) 2) ~Aggregator - radioben: Site appears to be no longer maintained or updated. However, archived podcasts remain, so entry will be kept for the present. 3) Australia - Unique R: Deleted entry as website is being discontinued (Thanks to Tim Gaynor, Unique R, in WORiog mail list) 4) Germany - HCJB Deutsche: Website now moved to a new host, all links updated. 5) Scotland - Weekend Music Radio Scotland: New entry added to list. (Thanks to Lesley Illingworth in WOR iog mail list) The next update is scheduled for late June. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** BENIN. 1566, June 1 at 0323, monitoring Canary SDR for opening of TWR, whose carrier I DXed direct a couple nights ago. It`s so weak I can`t see an exact cut on, but it is there by 0330, and still no modulation audible by 0345. The Fuerteventura SDR gets that much, not the other one in Tenerife (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 15245, June 1 at 1536, algo weak direct with het from even weaker 15245.25 approx. The latter is surely VOK as logged yesterday; the former listed as CRI English this hour only via Kashgar, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 6150, June 1 at 1453 into UTwente, pop music S7/S9, as I check for anything besides WOR from missing SW Radio 6160. Nothing above that on band, but this below which is Europa24, Datteln. 1544 rock/songs in English with ID between each in German, ``Europa vierundzwanzig`` also at 1547, 1555, 1558. SHN`s latest and last list of Eu private lowpower SW stations shows it closing at 1500. WRTH 2024 page 548 shows 250 watts at 09-17. Map shows Datteln in NW Germany near Netherlands border like some of the others (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 9740, June 1 at 0224, RRI in Spanish, VG S9+20/40 into Maryland SDR, Castilian accent, with folk music, new frequency ex-9700 due to QubaRM; ironically, RHC is absent tonight, but no doubt will be back (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 1 at 2203, VOT English not off the air, S9+30/40 VG into UTwente, with Olds; 2210 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2212 `The Energy Agenda`, 2219 songs past 2240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 17675, June 1 at 1533 direct, S2/S5 sounds like Portuguese play-by-play game coverage. Suspect it`s the BAL championship from Rwanda via VOA SAO TOME; previous games were on 17655, and 15580 Botswana, but which is not heard now. 17675 gone by next check 1742 at UTwente. Certainly not NZ at that hour.

Punch-up error?

But at 2213 English intro by the only OM announcer, to `The Energy Agenda`, a VOT program! This rates S9/+20, stronger than RRI. At via UTwente measured as above, usual +9 Hz offset like 11785.009 had been.

I suspect that Angola was a loser on Saturday, so next round on Monday would be inconsequential? But by 1900 when I`m not getting anything on 17655 into Africa, I do hear some S3/S4 weak but enthusiastic Portuguese into UTwente, maybe play-by-play; special time reserved until 2030 also on 15580 much better, yes with 23-28 score at 1901, S9+5/20 on 15579.981. ``Three-minute pause`` with music starts at 1908, until 1913 when the two pbp guys resume chat but not yet game.

RF 15, May 23 circa 1700 & 1800 UT, KTBO ``14`` OKC is breaking up as if DX QRMed, very unusual. APRS map shows large tropo blob between Enid and Pampa TX, so suspect it`s Fox Amarillo, KCIT with 925 kW ERP ND. AMA is about 90 degrees off the side from my rooftop UHF antenna permaimed toward OKC, and rehooked the one loose guywire yesterday. No sign of any DX on `open` channels; only other anomaly is RF 29 KTUZ ``Shawnee`` = OKC market, a bit weaker than usual on the meter but not breaking up. No full-powers on 29 in Amarillo area but lots of others across TX. Second possibility on RF 15 is KJTL, Fox Wichita Falls, 1000 kW direxional NNE toward here (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

** ALGERIA. 17600, May 22 at 0647, Ifrikya FM at S7/S8 in music, French. Propagating again after a spell of lowered night MUFs. Previously had some English in second half of this hour. SSOB by far with several other JBA on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, May 22 at 0647, RHC with S9+25/35 of dead air in English, but no signal on 12000. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Not found on any other frequency by 5025 Rebelde manages to be on and modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 9635, May 22 at 0646, no signal from ORTM, and a JBA one on 5995; contrary to last night when only 9635 was on as early as 0648; traditional switchtime is 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15390, May 22 at 1531, REE finally back on air to Africa, only S5/S6 in Spanish to UTwente, // stronger 15520 to ME. Both scheduled to start at 1500 weekdays, 1400 weekends. EiBi shows 15390 target is East Africa, but 161 degrees from Noblejas is more like West, Central & South Africa. Officially registered CIRAF zone targets for 15390 in HFCC are 46,47,52,57: https://www.itu.int/net/ITU-R/terrestrial/broadcast/images/broad-ciraf2.gif i.e. down the west coast of Africa from Western Sahara to South Africa, inland as far as the western half of Sudan; East Africa would be 48. Reconfirmed all four on air into UTwente, token English from SNR, Wed May 22 at 2202: 15389.990, VP S8/S9; 15520.000, S8/9+5; 17715.013, S7/S9; 17855.000, S8/9+5. 2207 Salman Rushdie speaking during book tour in Spain for his latest in translation: note: his books are funny including `The Satanic Verses`. Undercurrent of translation into Spanish. 2226 about boxing? competition involving singers, huh? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 22 at 2200, no signal of VOT English into UTwente; nor on possibly overrun 9875, nor either by 2215 recheck.

** ALGERIA. 17600, May 21 at 1840 tune-in, Ifrikya FM English in progress, speaker with heavy French? accent, S9+10/15 into UTwente about African nations achieving ``food sovereignty`` such as in Sudan; prompting guest, VP of GRFI, to laud Ifrikya FM, and plugging current event in Algiers. 1847 with 710 exhibitors, more than 25K professionals, about agriculture until May 23. 1848 back to French & Arabic IDs; music I find enjoyable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 21530, May 21 at 2204, JBA carrier, second only to 21490 at S4/S6; per EiBi CNR1 jamming and SOH do not start until 2300, but surely do. Likely likewise the JBA carriers on 18970, 16100 at 2214. See also UNIDENTIFIED 21530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. Spy numbers figure in this 60 Minutes story May 19: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spies-for-cuba-a-danger-to-us-national-security-as-american-secrets-sold-around-the-world-60-minutes-transcript/ I don`t see a link to axual audiovideo of segment; must be somewhere. It seems that after serving her sentence, Ana Montés is living the good life in Puerto Rico where she is treated as a heroine (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN [and non]. 5990, May 21 at 1905, as I am checking Canary Is SDR for 5995 MALI, q.v., a big S9+25/40 open carrier here with slight hum, trace of mod at best. EiBi shows it`s VIRI in Albanian at 1820-1920! Typical shutout at Sirjan. I assume this minor language is of interest due to the Islamic minority there, who are thus being disserved; with ACI from 5985 Chinese music, i.e. CRI so-called Portuguese service to southern Africa from Beijing site. How about second registered fq for IRIB Albanian hour? At 1917 into UTwente, nothing on 7325, and 7310 Chinese, probably CNR1 jammer vs SOH. And by 1921, 5990 is off as expected to 1920* in IRIB`s wacky :20 to :20 scheduling of most languages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 9635, May 21 at 0648, surprised to find S6/S8 in French here, normally nothing. Got to be Bamako as nothing on 5995. Normally switches from 5995 to 9635 at 0800. Permanent change or error? Check around 1900 May 21 into Canary SDR, neither. But at 1921, 5995 has come on, S9+20/40 with heated discussion in Bambara? and music breaks. 2006 recheck in French (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1120, May 20 at 2035 UT check on caradio, KETU Catoosa back on the air with Spanish music, after missing at 1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11935, May 21 at 1642, via UTwente, horrible buzzroar gets ACI from CRI English via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN on 11940. Still 1854 in the clear without ACI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN [and non]. 17855, Monday May 20 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG S9+30/40 direct, preview of topic: an AI treaty in Europe rating countries on a scale of 1-12, as in interview underway at 2208 after news. As usual lately, almost as good on 15520 backwards to ME, S9/+10, poor on 17715 to S America, no signal on 15390 for Africa. 15390 has been missing so long that I wonder if they QSYed without notice, at least not in English. HFCC A-24 shows all these 161-degree alternatives available on weekdays during this hour: 21620, 11670, 15350, 15385, 11530. By 2230 when French should be on, I check each via UTwente for possible // to 17855: none, altho there is weak signal from algo on 11670, which would be CNR Beijing from 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 18155 USB, May 21 at 2207, EA7GX contacting a W7 near Bend, Oregon and other Americans, ``Peter in Spain``. Not surprising since Noblejas booms in S9+20/30 on 17855 in non-English. QRZ.com: ``EA7GX Spain flag Spain, PEDRO ROLANDO ORTEGA, ALBORAN 7, LA LINEA DE LA CONCEPCION, CA 11300, Spain`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 20 at 2159, TRT IS, 2200 timesignal, opening English, S9+10/20 direct but still too much high local noise level - HLNL of S9+10. So not off the air today, but no time to listen in detail. Recheck into UTwente where measured: 2253.6 s/off ignoring SW, 2254.3 IS but chopoff by 2254.7, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.009, May 21 at 2159, no signal direct from VOT English vs S9 HLNL while RRI 11800 manages to be JBA. But at 2200:15, JBA carrier briefly on 11785. Recheck at 2215 not even that. Finally at 2234 I tune UTwente to confirm no 11785 --- but there is Ms. Badax on 9875.007! That`s the 2030-2130 English frequency running way overtime. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. S9+15/25, but in addition heavy ACI from stronger 9880 which is CRI Esperanto with a Chinese? accent, for S America via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems; not that that gets Turkey off the hook for denied genocide against Armenians a century ago. Anyhow, not going to try to listen under such circumstances, and besides, it`s primarily time for BBC and NBC news on TV. But recheck at 2254 both 9875 and 11785 off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. W

** ALGERIA. 17600, May 20 at 1752, NO signal from Ifrikya FM into UTwente, apparently off; it still gets 11935 Sa`udi buzzroar, q.v. No 15160 either. 17599.998 is however on by next check 1811, S7/S9 in French, no 15160. 1821 brief break in transmission during music. 1823 several more and stays off till 1824.5. Of course I am hunting for a floating English segment if they can stay on air. After music, 1837 into English with FM frequencies, but who cares about SW? 1838 Zoom Africa, ``guh-reetings to you``, she starts. About IT innovations 20-22 May event in Algiers. Besides some overmodistortion, her pace and accent are a bit of an obstacle and the musical background is annoying; 5G networks, etc. 1842 already wraps up referring us to various web platforms for more. 1843 other announcer about this multi-national exhibition on agriculture, livestock. 1844 back to music-only. 17600 & 15160 are the onlies registered in HFCC every hour from 06 to 19; then 17600 & 13790 at 19-22; 13790 & 15110 at 22-03; 9500 & 9700 at 03-06. That`s it. Béchar at 131 degrees is on 15110, 9500, 17600. Others are ``Ourgla`` at 210 degrees. Béchar, in the NW corner of Algeria next to Morocco, is more favorable for us directly off the back = 311 degrees NW. WRTH spells the other, SSE of Algiers, Ouargla, which searching immediately confirms is correct. Could also be transliterated from Arabic as Wargla -- the ``Ou`` being the French version of W, oui2. Aoki goes with Ourgla, EiBi both as alternatives (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120 kHz, May 20 at 1520-1530+ UT, NO signal from KETU, 10 kW Spanish daytimer, Catoosa (Tulsa). If on, it would certainly be audible by groundwave. It`s been sporadic in the past. I still have a JBA carrier on 1110, more likely KFAB Omaha NE remnant than closer KVTT Mineral Wells (Metroplex) TX. When it was newer years ago, I visited the 1120 site: gleaming steel towers, no red or white paint (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Sunday evening May 19 into UT Monday May 20: Four major OKC TVs in wall-to-wall storm/tornado coverage all evening till circa local midnight. CBS KWTV ``9`` shunted 60M to KSBI ``52``. Some of them got live video of tornados in the dark during lightning flashes. Again Enid lucked out, but OKC area hit and also north of here. If anyone would like to experience what we do, I imagine that KFOR, KOCO, KWTV, KOKH are also streaming. We got hail for 5+ minutes. Damage inspexion next morning sees two guywires loose on the rooftop TV antenna yet it`s still erect. Need to go up there and secure them. More storms coming this week and next; happy May! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, May 20 at 1750, still 1845, 1921, horrible buzzroaring from Riyadh, no program audio, S9/+5 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.010, Sunday May 19 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, S9+30/45 into UTwente and I don`t even bother to check it direct. UTw displays frequencies to the hundredth of one Hz, where they are never stable. This is mostly in the top half of the .009 to .010 range so rounding it upward tho never surpasses .010 as I am watching. Some editors do not understand how to do this, rather lopping off all the digits right of the decimal, can`t be bothered with precision! Ms. Badax presents the news. 2217 song starts, ``Time for your letters`` -- what?? I must be imagining as the song is really in Türkiyesh! 2220 brief item about May 19 being a holiday, start of Atatürk`s independence revolution in 1919y, now celebrated as his ``Youth and Sports Day``. L`Box theme axually starts. Usual friendly host rushes thru more QSL requests than usual from: ``Litonia`` i.e. Latvia but the name sounds more Lithuanian? He has trouble making out their postal address. Then Italy, India, another India, Pakistan, Klepov in Moscow, Pakistan, India, NC/USA, Germany, India same person as before, India same person for 3rd time: how many letters do they send every week? Finally Fiji for the first time from someone with an Indo-Portuguese name. 2238 out of time so play another song. 2242 finally L`box outro, multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2244 music. 2252 Badax headlines, or rather repeating at some length the holiday item, and about Georgia. 2255 s/off as if the 1230 on 17620. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2255.5 IS, 2256 pause and restart IS with German ID, something`s always erroneous at Emirler, but chopoff at 2257.3* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2243 monitoring: confirmed Sunday May 13 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz, S9 into UTwente, nothing on 918 or 207 kHz: do they ever test/turn those on? Also on WRN Europe webcast, and WRMI webcast-only. Also confirmed at 2158 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975, S9+5 and 6160 S9+10, into UTwente. ``Good evening Glen[n], I was listening to "Wavescan" tonight on 7570 kHz (2300 UT, Sunday).

Aoki & EiBi show 21645 BBC Saturday only in Hausa at 13-17; surely for stupid ballgames. I guess if there were one on Sunday instead they would have to turn it back on. 21485 is R. Tamazuj via FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, Sunday May 19 at 1501, NO signals direct from RHC instead of weekly Esperanto; nor at 1520 into Maryland SDR.

** COLOMBIA. 5910-, May 18 at 0054 & 0151 recheck, NO signal from Alcaraván Radio on its signature offset. I had not been hearing it at late-night bandscans circa 0630 for quite some time, but perhaps was signing off earlier. Apparently it`s been gone completely. I don`t see it hitting monthly bulletins since March so probably last heard in February. Anyone heard it since? A pity as in the A-season there is no longer a primetime bihour blockage of China via Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, May 17 at 0623, R. Rebelde is OFF. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5990, May 18 at 0053, CRI relay is S9+15/25 but just barely modulated, yet surpassing 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, May 18 at 0049, RHC with S9+25/40 of dead air in English. Then I check second harmonic, 12000 dead air is almost as strong, S9+25/35. Why not more of them? Trouble is, the NRD-545 puts internal carriers on some exact MHz. Not even that on 18000; a JBA carrier on 24000; and S9+5 on 3 -- axually won`t tune above 2.99. At 0152, 6000 at S9+20/25 now has suptorted modulation, I can barely believe it`s English. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side: ``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW May 14, 2024 Cuba: no rudder, no compass, and a dictatorship at the helm --- Not one useful or original idea emerged from the most recent Council of Ministers, overseeing a country facing a humanitarian emergency. Rafaela Cruz, La Habana 13 Mayo 2024 - 19:08 CEST The crisis is now so severe in Cuba that the new Economy Minister, Alonso Vázquez, had to recognize that "in general there is an unfavorable outlook (...) export revenues are falling, imports are also decreasing, and different key economic activities, such as the production of the main agricultural products, and sugar and other byproducts, as well as the generation of electricity, are falling short...`` https://diariodecuba.com/economia/1715620099_54757.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. How I FM DX: this is not a competition to rack up totals: I do not count stations, states, countries or anything. I report what I hear with as much research as I can manage to identify, but make no irrefutable claims without evidence. Each DX catch unID or not is a potential learning experience. Always welcome ID help. I don`t use an external antenna any more: I get plenty of DX on the caradio; sometimes on a DX-398 where I can manipulate the telescopic in real time vs nearby or DX CCI, which also has RDS capability. These are all on caradio in garage which of course does have a STereo indicator when activated. All times and dates are strictly UT. Main reference the excellent WTFDA FM Database. Distances are km/statute miles city-to-city, not site-to-site, from distancefromto.net Showing them does not necessarily imply greater ID accuracy. I do not have Internet access while DXing, no comparing with webstreams, nor even consulting the FMDB. Nor do I make any recordings. I already have to spend more time on post-research than during axual DX sessions. As I am recording WORLD OF RADIO 2243 on Thursday afternoon May 16, I check DXMAP and see an MUF spike of 109 MHz! east of here, so pause to check DX in the car, which it turns out is coming from SE Mexico instead: 99.3 at 2259, Spanish rap about ``los Federales``, fading up and down to inaugurate our sporadic E FM DX season; 2301 something about ``pura --- vida``, ``Exa FM 99.3``; 2305 ad for a móvil, in pesos, and for Bancaya (sp?). Fringe KLOR Ponca City overridden, audible at fades. 2305 back to studio and WOR. 2330 next check a bit of English, ID with ``Front Row``, maybe something else. 2343 cancer PSA from Secretaría de Salud, mention Isla Mérida. This must be XHMRA-FM in Mérida, Yucatán, 91.488/91.488 kW ERP. How`s that for precision? There are two other Exas on 99.3 beyond, in far Acapulco and Cd. Obregón. 2344 ad for nationwide store El Soriano. After I take another break, now UT May 17 at 0009, another ID as ``Exa FM 99.3``. 1893 km/1176 stmi 101.5 at 2302, Spanish JBA - got to be careful here, there are SS closest to us both in OK and KS. But ID as 101.5 FM, something about Península, and Mexican political ad. Surely XHYK-FM, Conkal, Yuc, 25/25 kW. Only other on an almost-island is in La Paz, BCS. Yes, at 0010 May 17, a Yucatán political ad. 1886/1172 105.9 at 2333, slogan ``más música que oye`` - not sure of last word; and commercial for {sex} hormones, you don`t? hear on US radio. 0001 May 17, station or program name Balanza? News of looking for corpses in a cold case of 10 years; ``Balance Media Globe`` sounds like English, then ``Súper Stéreo 105.9`` and rock in English. These may be two different stations. Besides being in the PTA, latter slogan leads only right to XHFCY-FM, Kanasín, Yuc, 25/25 kW. No hits searching on Balanza/Balance whatever. 1899/1180 100.1 at 2337, bit of Spanish vs 99.9 local LPFM. Based solely on PTA = probable ta

** AUSTRALIA. 28262 CW, May 14 at 2204, only direct signal on 10m, beacon or phone in a quick scan, is JBA fading in and out here - long dash of ~26 seconds and can`t copy it fully in maybe a semidozen passes, but right after the dash there is VK###.

Easterly not northerly. 760, May 11 at 0221, political ads including Partido Del Trabajo, ad for eStar TV. 0223 TC as 20:23, i.e. CST not MDT. And program `Crónica 7-60` at 8-9 pm M/W/F. Six stations active, led by 70/10 kW XEABC in Edo. Mex., calling itself XERAG as in Radio Alegría. No WJR. XEABC website https://radiocanon.com.mx/programas/ shows 20 programs, but incomplete, this hour not accounted for and no hits on cronica search. But got it! on their FB: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=487079406981607=a.200044909018393 ``Crónica 760 con Miguel Reyes Razo, Al Aire Lunes, Miércoles y Viernes 20:00 hrs`` Branding on web is Radio Cañón, never heard, and not Alegría.. 780, May 11 at 0224, WBBM is JBA 830, May 11 at 0225, no signal from WCCO 840, May 11 at 0226, Meximx rather than WHAS. Three XEs listed, but more likely KVJY Pharr TX in the RGV, SS:REL format 850, May 11 at 0226, no KOA 860, May 11 at 0227, romantic music in Spanish: probably XENL 5/1.5 kW Monterrey, only one with a partially ROM format. 880, May 11 at 0227, something about basura - waste. Only XE- is -CHEP in Chihuahua2. More likely just KJOZ Conroe TX 890, May 11 at 0227, no WLS 940, May 11 at 0405, ``XEQ-AM 940, 10 mil watts, La Q``, CST check. Had been 50/50 kW but proclaiming 10 as if bragworthy. CDMX. 1030, May 11 at 0229, Mexican elexion ads, so not Corpus Christi; of 5 XEs, most likely XEQR, 44/1.2 kW, CDMX 1040, May 11 at 0229, no signal or trace from WHO; likewise next 3 minutes from: 1080 KRLD, 1110 KFAB, 1120 KMOX, 1160 KSL. By next check 0355, many of the US clears are beginning to show up again. 1060, May 11 at 0230, immediately R. Educación ID and list of affiliates. Call now is XECPAE tho unheard, 100/20 kW, México CDMX; not always // 6185, unchecked now. 1140, May 11 at 0231, Spanish music, with het. XEMR Monterrey assumed. 1190, May 11 at 0232, ``Contacto 11-90``, Nuevo León, i.e. XECT Monterrey, supposedly 100 watts at night! 10 kW day. 1200, May 11 at 0651, no WOAI. Was sometimes audible, sometimes not. Would expect it to be enhanced rather than blocked by aurora. 1280, May 11 at 0233, ``La Grande``, also with medium het, probably another station off-frequency. 0241, ``A-W, 101.3`` from Nuevo León. XEAW, 10/1 kW, Monterrey. Recheck 0355 now English station dominant. 1290, May 11 at 0234, religious talk in Spanish. Neither of two XEs with that format, rather very likely per NRC AM Log: KRGE, 5/5 kW, Radio Vida, Weslaco TX in the RGV. 1330, May 11 at 0242, political ad in gringo-Spanish for elexion later in May, presumably TX primary runoff May 28, but not caught name; and into C music. Of the 5 TX, two are C: KSWA Graham, 500/51 watts; and KCKM Monahans, 12/1 kW. Graham is S of Wichita Falls, WNW of Fort Worth. Monahans in SW TX near NM SE corner. 1340, May 11 at 0243, KGHM Midwest/OKC dominates instead of buried by graveyard QRM. Also many highband regional channels have only weak signals, so many of them blacked out. 1460, May 11 at 0238, Spanish music. KZUE El Reno OK should be off, daytimer. Several SS elsewhere in US, no good fits, as in TX, KBZO Lubbock is sports. KTKC Springhill LA is SS:REL. Only XEs are in Chih, Son. 1500, May 11 at 0238, no KSTP but Spanish. Likely XEDF CDMX 50/50? kW 1510, May 11 at 0239, Spanish, ``1,510 AM``: XEQI, 10 kW ``daytimer``, Monterrey NL. Shux, not Ecuador. 1670, May 11 at 0240, Spanish music, low het caused by this off+plus: XEFCR, Reynosa, Tams. 10/1? kW We never could see aurora here in Enid OK, despite several tries, somewhat hazy. SWPC Oval 10% probability reached into Kansas, later retreated into Nebraska. https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/animations/ovation/north/latest.jpg For UT May 12, only to north half of Canada (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 11 at 2205, NO signal direct from VOT during prolonged geomag storm. 2219 however checked at UTwente when measured, music at S8/S9+10, weaker than usual but plenty. 2226 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products`, repeat about honey for only about 2 minutes, then nothing but music fill until 2253 s/off, claiming this has been the 1330-1430 on 13635

** ALGERIA. 17600, Fri May 10 at 1800, Ifrikya FM is S9+5/10 into UTwente, checking for any English but no, French. Recheck 1839 now English in progress, YL with heavy accent about adversity in Africa, students making a difference in agriculture. 1842 closing episode credits, outro sounds like ``Baotin? Africa``. There was also music thruout the show and from 1844 music only. Severe geomag storm makes this direct at 2013 only S6/S9 with heavy flutter in strength and Doppler in frequency. By 2034, 17600 also hit by severe flutter into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 87.9, May 10 circa 1845 UT, Mexmx in $tereo, much like the open carrier before. No announcements. No doubt a part 15 RF feeder, may not be relaying a terrestrial station. This time I drive around the block, and then walkabout with DX-398 eyeing signal meter and conclude it`s coming from about one block away where a house is undergoing some construxion or fixing; and can also barely hear it earily. Strangely enough, most of the construxion workers around Enid speak Spanish (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PANAMA. 28282 CW, May 10 at 2015, about the only 10m signal is fading out and in, a rather long loop, including: ``VVV HP1DCP/B ...

At 2226 into Maryland SDR, 15520 has a JBA trace, the others inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 10 at 2200, no signal direct from VOT English, nor at 2226 into UTwente or Maryland SDR. Probably really off, but with today`s geomag storm it may be totally unpropagable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

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) ** SPAIN. 17855, May 8 at 2200, token English from SNR is weaker than usual with fades during degraded propagation direct, but still sufficient with brute force; 2208 feature interview about relations/negotiations with UKQOGBANI over Gibraltar, four years since it joined BREXIT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 8 at 2200, no signal direct from VOT English, either not on yet or propped out; but at 2233 into UTwente when measured, VG S9+30/45. 2253 headlines, which they rarely repeat at the end, 2254 s/off by the non-badax YL but she also claims we ``have been listening to`` 17620 at 1230!

** OKLAHOMA. 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) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 6 at 2206, VOT not off the air, S9+45/60 into UTwente, from news to `Review of the Turkish Press` at 2210 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.008, May 7 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS audible direct but insufficient vs noise level. Multi-hop propagation is still degraded. After 2230 into Maryland SDR, it`s VG, S9+10/20. Badax is talking for several minutes about what? I try to figure that out: something about AI. 2245 outro as `Weekly Commentary`. They should let the ``penner`` read it. 2246 ``always-by-your-side`` promo and `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products` - honey produxion in eastern Anatolia from Caucasian bees, somekind of ``-- flower honey``. 2249 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, song. 2252 s/off by the OM mentions NO SW, just satellite and internet. 2253.5 IS plays until 2255.7* chop, no finesse, depriving us of any extraneous German to follow (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

** CANADA. 15034 USB, May 6 at 1459, JBA in degraded propagation, Trenton Military, ``no report received`` from Victoria, Victoria, and Comox, Comox; cuts off air at 1500* for usual ToH/BoH break as not shown in EiBi. As if timeshared with another station - Not; was it ever? Klingenfuss 2022 does show two other SSBs on 15034: CJX in St John`s NF, and VXA in Edmonton AB, which I have *never* heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, May 6 at 1505, horrible humroar S2 audible direct. Recheck at 1938, S9+15/20 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sun May 5 at 2231, I tune-in late to VOT English, S9+30 into UTwente during music, but just in time for `Letterbox` starting at 2234 --- NO, it`s ending, not starting. All programs play exactly the same theme and ID for start and finish, so they can never get them wrongly reversed. And the L`box always has time to end with a tune after he`s running out of time; despite there being plenty of fill music between shows and promos. Anyhow, I`ll have to catch the final repeat 5 hours later. 2244 multi-lingual ID filler reel. For this one, 2252 s/off by the OM rather than usual YLs, as if closing the 1230 on ``15450`` -- not used since last summer! Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2252.5 IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs, still 2300 TS and s/on extraneous German. I let it run in the background until 2325 when I hear noise as it has finally cut off. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7275.006, UT Mon May 6 at 0319 t/in to VOT English S8/9+10 INTRUDER in the N American 40m hamband, as `Letterbox` is already underway, host learning what 73 means, from Alan Holder, IOW, as well as 88 and 55. Then acknowledging reports from Breyel in Malaysia -- host misses KL, his ``second hometown``; India, India, India; someone with a Russian name in ``Riga, Letonia`` -- that is the Spanish, and Turkish? version of Latvia, just to further confusion with Lithuania; 0328 out of time, wrapping up, 0329 music before L`Box formally closes, and we`re back to where we started one pentahour ago. This time I recheck the closing: 0352 same ``15450`` boner, but IS and off* well before 0356 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 305 MCW kHz, May 6 at 0644, RO, 400 watt `Topan` ND beacon at Roswell NM, among few JBA (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.

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.

** ALGERIA [and non]. This might have a bearing on the 2.3 Hz SAH I hear on 891 kHz, Algeria and what? However, I have never heard any carrier/tone on 889! Glenn ``Mark WA1ION Apr 28 #41056 --- Reviewing some recent captures I came across a situation around 890 kHz. When listening in AM mode it is not unusual to hear a 1 kHz tone on the channel. Prior experience has pointed to the Algerian station on 891 as the source of this. As I was trying to get clean 890 reception I flipped to lower sideband and encountered a signal at 889 kHz similar in level to the 891 carrier noted in upper sideband. A head scratcher for sure. Has anyone else noted this? I would think that this would mostly be noticed along the US/Canada East Coast and maybe by the Gulf of Mexico. 890 here is dominated most nights by Radio Progreso, Cuba. King Kong signal but often with distorted pirate-like audio, rather like the 910 garbage-fest of R. Metropolitana and the wanky audio from the 550 Venezuelan. Sometimes Progreso mysteriously disappears leaving a weaker jumble of Colombia, WLS, and WAMG. These intermittent outages and the dodgy audio point to technical problems. Could the 889 and 891 products be originating at R. Progreso or maybe somewhere else? My strong suspicion is that one of the Cuban transmitters is the source of the 889 and 891 tones. Too bad we don't have the Key West SDR anymore. Mark Connelly, WA1ION | South Yarmouth, MA, USA | FN41vq`` IRCA iog (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BELIZE. 28258 CW, May 1 at 2308, EE VVV DE V31HQ/B EK47##, i.e. relog of the radio club beacon. Really stands out as hardly any domestic ones audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000 & 11950, May 1 about 2310, no signals from RHC: so much for `Mesa Redonda`; not even erroneous Chinese relays today. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side: ``A Lesson in Semantics for Castroism --- Castroism's usual instruments to control Cubans' consciousness have become obsolete, and in many cases they have even backfired...`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1714410293_54468.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also ALGERIA [and non] ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed May 1 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG into DX-390 portable with a few meters clipped-on. No news, must be a holiday; instead, entire semihour is docu narrated by former anchor Alison Hughes and probably an evergreen, about unequeal military relations between Spain and US during the Franco era/Cold War. US basically had full control/sovereignty over bases in Spain despite flying both flags (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 1 at 2200, VOT not off the air, almost sufficient direct into DX-390 portable, but SPAIN has my full attention until 2230. Then a feature I don`t recognize nor its name; 2241-2249 `Sports Panorama`, yawn. 2253 s/off of the 1230 only; 2254.5 IS until chop at 2256* before restarting with German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Two or three HIFER CW beacons unusually at once, May 1 direct: 2304, YSO on 13563; 2305, AN on 13564, i.e. relogs of Ohio and Arizona; and also continuous dits or E`s about 13562. The LWCA list has a few single-letter beacons but not this one. Maybe rather some idling ISM ute (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17690, May 1 at 1710, again NO signal of R. Martí to Cuban mercenaries for Russia in Ukraine. Was also missing and found nowhere else on April 30. Again May 1 at 1720-1725 I do a quick but thorough bandscan and find it nowhere else on the 21, 17, 15, 13 or 11 MHz bands. Propagation is degraded but VOA still manages a good signal in English from Grimesland on 17530, and Martí to Cuba on 13605, while 11930 & 11860 are JBA absorbed. It`s done for now but unconfirmed whether permanently canceled. Could it be they got zero listener response? I`m on a Martinoticias mailing list and never saw any reference to this secret? service. Now I search the website on Ucrania and get loads of hits on stories mentioning it but nothing about the broadcasts; however this brief about the mercenaries: https://www.martinoticias.com/a/mercenarios-cubanos-en-la-invasi%C3%B3n-rusa-en-ucrania-7-meses-de-silencio/387853.html Then no significant hits searching on the 4 frequencies used, 17680, 17690, 17865, 17870 -- but no hits on 13605 or 13.605 either as if SW were irrelevant (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

** ALGERIA. 17600, Tue Apr 30 at 0640, Ifrikya FM well enough S3/S7 direct to detect any English as on some previous occasions around this hour: no, in French; 0643 Arabic? but Frenchish slogan ``La Voix Africaine``. 0647 French and no English by 0658. Here`s another time, April 30 from Denmark: ``Ifrikiya FM from Algeria has been heard in English for several days now at 1800-1810 UTC on 15160 and 17600 kHz. Great reception.

Filling 1450-1500 gap on weekdays between Burmese and Japanese. But no sign of CRI English via Urumqi, East Turkistan until 1457 which is reported to ruin NHK English at 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 30 at 1933 quick check of UTwente, horrible buzz still roaring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.003+, Apr 30 at 2200, VOT English not off the air, S9+45/50 into UTwente, slight overmodulation distortion. This time news with W badax and M OKax alternating. Too much news and severe weather going on locally to listen intently, so hit and miss: 2218 `That`s Why`, badax on why nims hibernate. 2223 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2245 about geomarked products. 2246 TRT World promo. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2253 badax s/off for 1230 only on 17620. 2254 IS for about ten notes before chopoff, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 10129 CW, Apr 30 at 1437, KD6WW call only, repeated at irregular intervals and speeds, as if hand-keyed. Trying to beacon? QRZ.com: ``KD6WW USA flag USA, BRUCE D LEE, 17520 KENNISON LN, LODI, CA 95240, USA`` -- I habitually check 10125 for anomaloUSB phone Aussie ragchewers on 29m, not reheard for long time now. Nor HK3QQ with his keyboard-order CW letterism with errors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17690, Tue Apr 30 at 1850, no signal of R. Martí Ukraine beam from Grimesland into UTwente nor direct. Has it been canceled? Original 17680 at 17-21 still occupied by NHK Japanese via France until 1900. Bandscan direct finds Martí nowhere else on 21, 17, 15, 13 or 11 MHz bands except the Cuban beams on 13605, 11930, 11860 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday April 30 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Querétaro SDR. Good thing I checked anyway after removing it from sked due to previous week`s performance and WRMI grid, which still shows Wavescan at this time, altho on Apr 23, neither one aired! Apparently I should resume it on WOR sked as ``irregular``. Also confirmed Tuesday April 30 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S6/S9 direct, no jamming audible.

But there are carrier peaks at various spots just above and below. Must be quite a sight on a visible display. This seems to correlate with TOMBS, but now it happens even without any audible program modulation! I measure these, but they are unstable, coming and going and jumping around as if influenced by the lacking modulation: 4832.4, 4833.23, 4834.46, 4834.92; 4843.70, 4844.71, 4845.19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UZBEKISTAN. 15710.05, Apr 30 at 1448 JBA algo S6/S8, listed as AWR Mandarin via Tashkent.

** CHINA [and non]. 18970, Apr 29 at 0357, JBA carrier with flutter, no doubt CNR1 jammer against Sound of Hope - the only usage of this ITU official extra SWBC band, except maybe a Europirate per EiBi. Altho this about 15.8 meters, never called the 15m band, since hams mislabel 21+ MHz as 15 instead of 14. And 16m already applies to 17 MHz BC band. What to do?? I think hams also consider their lower 18 MHz hamband as ``17m`` instead of 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non?]. 17615, Apr 29 at 0635, S9/+10 of Chinese music, the SSOB as I am checking 17600 for English from Algeria, but much weaker. Aoki & EiBi show CRI vs CRI this hour: German via Urumqi, and Mandarin to SE Asia via Kunming. Should have listened longer for talkieclue (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Apr 29 at 0331, NO signal from RHC English on its primary frequency. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11845, Apr 29 at 0341, pulse jamming against nothing, a R. Martí daytime frequency abandoned several years ago. Heavier wall-of-noise jamming against nothing on 11860 and 11930, current RM channels but not at night. Think of how many undernourished Cubans could be fed for the cost of all this nonsense! Nor is there and justification for jamming against something (Glenn Hauser OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 15230, Apr 29 at 0351, S9+10/20 of open carrier/dead air: got to be RHC, where something is always wrong. 15770 WRMI also propagating well now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 17655, Apr 29 at 0354, Hindi signing off, pronouncing in English ``China Radio International``, ``cri.cn``, many ``kHz``, S9/+20 with flutter, way off S Asian target from Kashi-Saiba/Kashgar. This dept hasn`t got the message it`s now ``CGTN Radio``, how cumbersome (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Apr 29 at 0400 after rock music, timesignal and RNZ News, S9+20/30. I had just calibrated my watch against WWVH, so I can assert, ``Don`t you believe the RNZ timesignals!`` About one second later than WWVH. Here`s a story about them, but not dealing with this issue: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/514073/rnz-s-pips-are-changing-can-you-hear-the-difference via Steve VE6WZ, IRCA iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925.36 AM, Apr 29 at 0333, JBA pirate music, OPOB. These say it`s Boat Anchor Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,129052.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. It`s notable that two `regular` pirates have been missing lately: 7475, Station YHWH, including no signal Apr 29 at 0338 direct. If & when it`s on, Rick Barton, AZ, will surely catch it. His last report was: March 22 at *0245-0403*. My last log was on the surprise daytime frequency 15409.981, March 4 at 1652. And 11514.9, Hikari FM, no signal Apr 29 at 0338 direct. Rick Barton logged it almost every day or night, March 14-22. My last log was March 22 at 1706-1857+ on 11514.90v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 15325-15330-15335, Apr 29 at 0352, DRM noise S9+10. It`s RRI Tsiganeshti, English to S Asia at 03-04. If you are ignoring the cedillas, you must respell it this way fonetikaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Apr 29 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct into portable, lead news is that PM Sánchez will not be resigning. Instead of straight talk, newscasts have music bed and well-integrated clips in Spanish then translated, Amy and Marilyn alternating. Feature from 2206 is about housing shortage, interviewing someone from tenants` union (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 11650, Apr 29 at 0340, S9+20/30, English word ``constitution`` mentioned several times; guess there is no such concept/word in Juba Arabic, since this is R. Tamazuj at 0315-0430 via MADAGASCAR, so USward beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN. 21800.08 approx., Apr 29 at 0404, Chinese S4/S8 with Doppler flutter. Presumed Sound of Hope rather than a jammer, since it`s so far off-frequency. How much power can SOH run from Miaoli site? WRTH page 579 says all about 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TINIAN [and non]. 21570.03 approx., Apr 29 at 0402, two signals in Chinese. RFA more likely the askew one than CNR1 jammer, sked this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Sun Apr 28 at 2213, NO VOT English signal into UTwente; algo else on 9875 which might have overrun. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 7275, UT Mon Apr 29 at 0335, however is not off the air, S9+20/30 direct including HSNL so unlistenable but I can recognize `Letterbox` informal host (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11530, Apr 29 at 0339, Turkish? music, S9/+10, presumed jammer against Dengê Gel but no sign of it on same or anywhere nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 29 at 2200, good signal direct into DX-390 portable, almost as good as simulSpain 17855, but VOT English from the throat of the badax today, requiring too much concentration to apprehend; additionally there i

Lots of background noise at the venue. Outro as PM of St Vincent & Grenadines. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 15474.8, Apr 28 at 1453, JBA algo. Askew like that, I bet it`s Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN. Yes, HFCC shows some Encompass transmission in Japanese until 1500, but what is it, really? Furusato no Kaze per EiBi & Aoki. As long as LRA36 not try to emit before 1500, this will not be a problem. BTW, due to storms and power outages I was unable to check for Esperanza this Sat Apr 27 before or after 22 UT on 15475.98 RCUSB - did anyone hear it?

I`ll bet we hear the buzzroar again. ! shortly after writing that, recheck at 1905, there it is! buzzroar only at same signal level but sounding much louder.

Something`s always wrecked at wRiyadh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17870, Apr 28 at 1448, surprised to find Spanish here, anti-Russian comments, 1449 VOA editorial, S5/S7; 1456 R. Martí ID for 1180 and vague ``onda corta``; so the separate Grimesland broadcast aimed at Cuban mercenaries for Russia in Ukraine has abruptly shifted from 17865 for the Sat/Sun only broadcast at 13-17. Neither 17865 nor 17870 appears in latests Aoki, EiBi nor HFCC! And I see no ACI or CCI reason to change. Maybe avoiding jamming? Not aware of any. At 1559 it`s S7/S9 into UTwente, but I can`t get the few Kiwis in western Russia or eastern Europe to run. Some now labeled as not covering higher MHz bands. M-F 17-21 UT 17690 ex-17680 is also missing from HFCC. About due for another change without notice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

** ALGERIA. 17600, Apr 27 at 0641, JBA music into UTwente, so can`t confirm any English this time. Propagation depressed, no signal direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. See CUBA; EAST TURKISTAN ** CUBA. 6000, April 27 at 2335, something strange here: long narration in English but only an occasional word understood, with continuous Chinese music background; like storytelling. Bigsig has to be Cuban relay, not direct from China; no CRI English relays are supposedly sked at this time nor frequency. This is Sat, but on a weekday, 6000 would be running the alt RHC service, `Mesa Redonda`, // 11950, which is not on now. At first during AC power outage due to storms, I`m monitoring on the D808 or DX398 portables. AC back on at *2345, then on the NRD at S9/+10 including the HSNL. 2358 ``until next time, goodbye``; 2359 promos in Chinese/English. no timesignal or ID but into song, strange ToH behaviour for CNR domestic or CRI external. By 0044 next check into Georgia SDR, 6000 is mixing Spanish and RHC English at equal audio levels. Spanish mentions China, so that may be from CRI, S9+40/50. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. None of this is accounted for in latest EiBi or Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 13740, Apr 27 at 2326, music and Spanish with flutter into portables during power outage. CRI Spanish sked 2300-0057 & 0100-0300 via Kashi-Saiba per Aoki. 13740 used to be a Cuban frequency; see also (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.74 AM approx., Apr 27 at 0100, Enid CB pirate relay of K288FX, // 105.5 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Tornado outbreak all day April 27, disrupted our monitoring. Several came close to Enid but no direct hits. Two power outages of about an hour each were also problems, 2030-2126, 2138-2245! OKC TV channels, ``4, 5, 9`` normally go to wall-to-wall coverage with choppers and storm spotters deployed. 4 was slowest to dispense with a stupid ballgame. We mostly followed KOCO 5. Except during power and thus cable outages, the only station we can get on indoor UHF loop is KFOR 4, RF 27. We did get backup AC power supplies going to run the TV. In the past, a number of commercial AM & FM stations in OKC would plug into live tornado coverage by one of the TV stations. This time I could not find a single one doing so on FM; nor AM but weaker signals blocked by high storm noise levels. Some would break into regular programming only for NWS warnings. The additional noise level on some of those daisy-chain relays is incredible. Instead, KFOR coverage was being relayed by three otherwise gospel huxters audible here, on 88.5, 89.7 and 90.5: 88.5 KZTH Piedmont is relay of 89.7 KJTH, ``The House``, Ponca City; and 90.5 KGVV Goltry, ``My Praise/The House of Praise``. No locally-originated coverage was to be heard on any Enid market AM or FM commercial station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 27 at 2302 and still 2319, during AC power outage due to storms, I get enough signal into portables with inside longwire to hear some German, i.e. another erroneous Emirler TRT overrun past the 2200 English hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

The Other Side: ``Shortages Cuba: the old relationship between rationing and totalitarianism At the root of rationing in Cuba is the system's productive incapacity and its control over its people. Dimas Castellanos, La Habana, 22 Abr 2024 - 21:22 CEST On Monday, April 15, Cuba's Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a message asking the faithful to pray for "mothers who are struggling to feed their children," and stated that "our dear homeland is going through very difficult times," recognizing that "Cubans are suffering, crying, and lack the essentials." The issue brings us back to the "supply" book, a government euphemism for its rationing of basic groceries. Since only what is produced can be distributed, since the implementation of rationing the quantity and quality of the items regulated have been dwindling, and delivery times have increased. When rationing was first implemented, Cubans received beef, chicken, oil, butter, condensed milk, toilet paper, coffee, rice, grain, and industrial products, thanks to Soviet subsidies. Currently the monthly distribution consists of seven pounds of rice (3.2 kilograms), four pounds of sugar, half a liter of soybean oil, a pack of 115 grams of "mixed coffee" (coffee with peas does not qualify as coffee, according to the International Coffee Organization, when the mixture is more than 5%; in Cuba it is 50%), five eggs, ten ounces of beans, and one pound of chicken...`` https://diariodecuba.com/economia/1713813730_54318.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935v, Apr 24 at 1709, buzzroar S9+15 into UTwente.

No outro either, 0359 canned ID and 0400 over to TOMBS. Confirmed Tuesday April 23 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S7/S8 direct atop audible jamming. Seems like CCI from another? Per EiBi and Aoki, nothing else ever on 9955; BTW, Aoki attempts to show all? WRMI programming in time order. This time I make sure it plays past 1323 unlike earlier on 7780; yes, past the Vanuatu anthem.

** CUBA. 5025, Apr 22 at 0649, R. Rebelde is OFF. Had been reliably on lately, not specifically logged. Something`s wrong at wRadio Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [non]. A split-second shot of a caradio dial animated during `The Simpsons` on Fox UT Apr 22 clearly displayed KRIG 99.1 - what are the legal risks of using a real radio call in fixion? FCC FM Query shows KRIG-FM exists in Nowata OK, but on 104.9, and furthermore has no translator on 99.1 or anywhere. Does that get them off the hook, not connecting it to a real frequency? Or does no one care? Or would a station even welcome the free publicity? Altho hardly anyone but me would follow up to seek it out really. KRIG is part of a Bartlesville-based cluster. I`ve asked the GM for his reaxion. Already had a brush with fame: https://www.bartlesvilleradio.com/pages/krig-104-9-fm ``KRIG Radio is the featured radio station in the movie “Possums,” created with Mac Davis and Coach Barry Switzer`` Then got this brief reply from Kaleb P, the GM: ``Hey thanks! Will look into it. KP`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Apr 22 at 2202, token English from SNR, S9+20/30 direct, 2203 news about Canary Islanders protesting being overrun by 7X as many tourists as their own population last year. At 2219 check 15520 which is almost as good, S9/+10 off the back toward ME. Feature is interview about Cecilia and the Spanish Civil War (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sun Apr 21 at 2200, VOT not off the air, S9+50 into UTwente, news with the badax; mid-breaks for ``The news continues...`` with stinger and again at 2215. 2217 `Weekly Analysis` repeat about Iran vs Israel. 2224 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2226 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, and `The Letterbox Program``. 2229 about Ankara weather, holidays after Eid. First letter about World Theatre Day 7 March, someone from India. Then about Good Friday. Konstantin Barsenko, St Pete, Russia. Is this a repeat? Seems familiar. Ricky Hein - lost connexion - Ralf Urbanski, Germany. James O`Brien, country unknown. Lithuania. Pakistan. Anatoly Klepov, Moscow. 2246 mx. 2251 s/off by badax with jumbled partial English sked not including this one. 2252 IS. 2256 pause and restart IS, with German IDs. Keeps going past 2300 mit Zeitsignal, Empfang, Nachrichten. Still going at 2324 during music. Finally chops off at 2335*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Mon Apr 22 at 2201, VOT English not off the air, but VG direct S9+10/20. Unfortunately it`s the badax`s turn to cast the news - I mean olds. 2213 ends, `Review of the Turkish Press`. 2216 music. Some ACI from 11780 Brasil unless USB tuning. 2234 into UTwente when measured, S9+40 music. 2237 `That`s Why`, duration of day and night trippingly spoken by Ms badax. ~2242 music. 2253 headlines including 4/23 as some kind of special Turkday; and s/off for the 1230 only. 2254 IS. 2256 restart IS and one German ID before 2256.7* chopoff. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2239 monitoring: confirmed Sunday April 21 from 2000.7 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz (not 918 nor 207), S9+5 into UTwente. There is very light CCI, sounds Qur`anish, or maybe just SWAsianish? Presumably the one Iran station on 1323, but trying 3 of the Kuwait SDRs, they are not getting it at this hour. Tanzania 1323 is inactive. The only other European is Romania`s minority service, which can certainly QRM us, but unlikely Asianic nor on air this late; in Hungarian, German, et al.? 1323: WRTH print 2024 on page 592 has Akash Radio, Leeds, Leeds, UK, but it has been removed from online mwlist. It was only 30 watts. But could it be the CCI? Website still refers to DAB, 1323, even if defunct there, as traditional identity. Seems it`s primarily Punjabi: https://akashradioleeds.co.uk/about-us/ Would it do Qur`an? Maybe, Wikipedia: ``Today the majority of Pakistani Punjabis follow Islam with a small Christian minority, and less Sikh and Hindu populations, while the majority of Indian Punjabis are either Sikhs or Hindus with a Muslim minority. Punjab is also the birthplace of Sikhism and the movement Ahmadiyya.`` WOR 2239 also confirmed Sunday April 21 at 2135 the 2130 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 6159.994, S7/S8 and fading down into UTwente but with RTTY ACI from plus side unless bandwidth reduced below 8 kHz. Also on better 3975.001, S9/+10. Also confirmed UT Monday April 22 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+5/15 into Querétaro SDR, let it play in background but noticed at 0053 has dumped to music fill, maybe a bit earlier! Later I recheck the WOR file sent to WRMI and find nothing wrong with it - like a long pause which could have tripped a silence-sensor, if any. I hope this is not happening to any other WRMI airings. Also confirmed UT Monday April 22 from 0301.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.930, S9+20/10 into Georgia SDR with high storm noise level off the SE USA coast

Also confirmed Saturday April 20 at 1951 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, about 4 minutes into, so started late about 1947. Regarding WOR on WRMI Sundays at 1030 UT: in B-season this had been at 1130 on 9955; first A-season sked moved it to 1030, and onto internet only, 9955 not picking up until 1100. But now, as Wolfgang Bueschel outpoints, the System B sked shows internet-only at 04-11 UT EXCEPT weekends when 9955 supposedly stays on. On Saturday April 20 I happened to awaken just after 1000 UT and indeed found 9955 on, S9+10 direct vs pulse jamming, but not with Frecuencia al Día in Spanish as on sked, rather gospel huxter in English, sounds like TOMBS. So still need to confirm what happen Sunday at 1030. If 9955 really permanesce all night, there would be lots of unspecified WRN programming at 04-10 except RFI in Spanish at 05-06. WRN website still shows old B23 sked from which one UT hour needs to be deducted: https://www.encompass.tv/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Encompass_WRN_North-America_B23.pdf But version abottom this page had manually? made the changes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iDCSyjigmOz7KnnCJ5vU1e0iexexyaUO/view as Alexander Miatlikov outpoints.

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 19 at 1528, S3 roar of defective transmitter. Wolfgang Bueschel is suggesting this could really be Iranian jamming of the opposition`s Yemen relay, but I don`t think so. Analyzing the ``audio strings``, if multiples of 60 Hz apart, would be from Saudi, only ME country with 60 Hz power; if multiples of 50 Hz, from elsewhere such as Iran https://www.wpowerproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/global-voltage-frequency-chart.pdf At 1730 Apr 18 he had strings at 120 Hz separations, which means not Iran, rather Sa`udi Arabia with 60 Hz. All peripheral countries on the Peninsula, such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE are 50 Hz. On 11935 I never hear any mixture of program audio and roar, always one or the other, but wb says: ``On April 19 at 05.20 UT heard both - from Saudi Arabia excile Yemen Radio from Riyadh bcast center, a n d likely Iran origin strong jamming stn co-ch program of 20 kHz wideband signal, annoying jammer audio wb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Apr 19 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct even on the portable unlike TRT; feature after news something about an art exhibition minus any visual element (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11540, Apr 19 at 1526, S4/S5 of choral martial music, so presumed jammer against Dengê Gel, which I do not find anywhere around here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Apr 19 at 2200, VOT English on into portable but poor with heavy flutter, unlike Spain 17855 over a less auroral path.

First someone referring to World Theatre Day on 27 March, never caught their name or location, maybe a perennial from S Asia. Then Konstantin Barshenko, St Pete, Russia. Then Ricky Hein, USA -- ``no comment`` as for the nth time is requesting an English schedule; was already exasperated with him last week. Ralf U-- from Germany. Peter Ng, Johore Bahru, Malaysia -- this sets our host off into a lengthy aside - he has visited/worked in Singapore, which is a workaholic, boring, stressful, suicidal place, and many of the natives escape to Malaysia for R And his wife is from Malaysia. Anyhow Ng wants a QSL. Another from Lithuania, host might like to visit, why not? And Austrian Harald Suess.

Also with stuff extending out from center to a sesquikHz or so. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Aside from that, program modulation is OK.

Customarily and as still shown on your website schedule on weekdays, BBCWN America is at 4:30 on World, and 5:30 on HD. Yet today Tuesday something non-BBC was at 4:30 on World; and Context is on HD at 5:30 so we miss BBCWNA completely! However, about 5:35 HD froze both via Optimum cable and your own stream, as received here and as often the case not enough signal to my rooftop antenna to check it OTA. O, finally at 5:41, Tech Diffs... Aha, you were fixing the mixup so WNA starts 5:42 - but will be cut short? Oops, WNA opening, but it`s NOT news but some BBC docu about sickle cell -- I think that`s what was on World an hour before. I wonder if all this is caused at OETA or from PBS. Or BBC itself! BTW when there is Breaking News! it`s pretty obvious that WNA original feed is at 4:00. Maybe you should run it then ``live`` if that would not cause even more problems.

This is very close to local mean noon here which is always 1832 UT: With city-to-city distances, approx., not site to receiver. Mainly on the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398, internal ferrite antenna only, on declining battery power and not especially sensitive. From just outside the house facing south. But first: 1200 at 1832 on the R75 with N/S shortwire, JBA carrier, maybe two of them. WOAI? next closest is 1 kW KYOO in Bolivar MO; bigsigs in IL & ND unlikely. 1200 at 1848 faded up to VG level, 1849 network eclipse coverage from east coast, recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_WOAI_1200_20240408_1849.mp3 Got to be 50 kW WOAI San Antonio. Gone by 1905 check. 777 km/485 stmi 1560 at 1833, fringe KEBC, 1 kW Del City = OKC has some CCI. There are several unexpected little stations in KS, MO and TX, but 46 kW KGOW Bellaire [Houston] TX is my prime target, as its Vietnamese will be unmistakable and unique. Despite its patterns, easily heard here at night. Keeps growing past 1837, and by 1843 during totality in SE OK, it`s loud and clear in VV, overcoming KEBC, recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KGOW_1560_20240408_1843.mp3 Still in at 1855, another clip with some singing: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KGOW_1560_20240408_1855.mp3 1901 still dominant but declining. 1908 gone. 777 km/483 stmi 1620 at 1845, talk station mentions Texas; nothing earlier. Got to be 10 kW WTAW College Station. Not often heard here even at night. 658 km/409 stmi 1700 at 1845, SAH between two carriers; 1858 San Antonio ad, AC 210; 1859 fade before ID! Trouble is, neither TX is near San Antonio: Brownsville and Richardson. NRC AM Log shows 5 kW KKLF Metroplex is Spanish, Jalapeño Radio; still? But address in Corpus Christi, so multi-station group? If it`s got to be English, that leaves much further KVNS Brownsville, 8.8 kW listed as Fox Sports. Maybe both unless Des Moines snuck in. Richardson: 395 km/246 stmi; Brownsville: 1167 km/725 stmi 1530 at 1846, baseball talk in Spanish. Maybe just KXTD Wagoner/Tulsa OK, but SS in TX are 50 KW KGBT Harlingen. More likely is the only other TX, KZNX Creedmoor, 10 kW Spanish; and despite address way out in El Paso, is really just south of Austin in the Eclipse zone. 701 km/436 stmi. Recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KZNX_1530_20240408_1846.mp3 1480 at 1847, Spanish in mix, overcoming KQAM Wichita. Only SS in TX is 5 kW KLVL Pasadena [Houston]. 785 km/488 stmi 1120 at 1850, religion in English vs Spanish from KETU Catoosa [Tulsa]. Only TX on 1120 is religious 5.6 kW KTXW Manor [Austin], separable. 674 km/419 mi 1110 at 1850, mixture in English. Primary is 50 kW KVTT Mineral Wells [Plano, Metroplex] listed Asian format. Only other TX is 5 kW KTEK Alvin [Houston], religious. 813 km/505 stmi. KFAB Omaha can have remnant daytime signal, doubtful now. 990 at 1851, Spanish religion, surely 7 kW KFCD Farmersville [Dallas]. Not trans- but within Totality; more signal than should be in daytime. 385 km/239 stmi 870 at 1852, SAH of about 7 Hz looping SE. Hoping for WWL! The only TX is 1 kW KFJZ Fort Worth. They fit! MWoffsets in 2023 and 2024 measurements has WWL on 869.9928 and KFJZ on 869.9991, i.e. 6.3 Hz. My count-the-fades-per-second method was a tossup between 6 and 7. Gone by 1905 check. WWL: 1019 km/633
[HCDX] Eclipse MWDX to OK, preliminary
1560 KGOW near Houston my prime target since Vietnamese would be obvious source, and roughly equidistant from here across Totality - and it sure came thru, overcoming the OKC station for quite a while. Also had WOAI, TX on 1700 & 1620, KRJO 1680 and some others to be researched. And surprisingly, WLAC 1510 & WCKY 1530.

** MALI. Re: ORTM --- Glenn, I believe Mali remains active, provisionally. Big roaring noise blob on 5995 at 0728Z today, 8 April.

By 1642, Arabic talk. LSB tuning of 11935 helps very little. Republic of Yemen Radio relay is still going, tho some have questioned whether any SA SW transmitters be on the air. 11940 off at 1657* and 11935 is still on but no modulation; 1658 bits of mod cutting on and off, 1659 Arabic stays on, and level improves, but no ToH ID heard. 1700 now there is ChiCom splattering from 11925 starting with timesignal. Aoki says CNR1 via Lingshi already on since 1200. 1730 mostly in clear with declamatory speech by one voice, occasional interruptions by a calmer voice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sunday April 7 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air, VG S9+50 into UTwente, VG modulation, like a local. I start to pay attention after the news, TRT World promo, `Weekly Analysis` about the March 21 local elexions, how different parties fared, but doesn`t mean much to me without further background knowledge; bottom line: good news or bad for RTE? They don`t say. 2225 music. 2229 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2230 `Letterbox`, but first usual host talks about his Ramadan: has lost 6 kg, was difficult at first. He also had to abstain from smoking and drinking Turkish coffee thrice a day. Almost over with Eid on Wednesday. Letters: from India wanting souvenir stuff, but sorry, only postal QSLs; reads report including program details from whenever, he should skip over now; apparently followed by another from same guy; one from England; Young Stars Radio Club in India. And from Ricky Hein - seems he has received and emailed reply to ten or fifteen of the same request asking for English schedule. Is he not getting them?? Exasperated, wants his postal address [from South Dakota]. 2245 time`s up, music. But outro for L`box only after the song at 2249. Then more music. 2253 s/off by the badax for the 1230 on 17620 only. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2254 IS for a sesquiminute and off 2255.5*. No ChiCom genocidal understation any more like on ex-5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 400 MCW kHz, April 8 at 0704, AHQ, ND beacon at Wahoo, Nebraska, not new but seldom heard. The LW line noise level has abated somewhat, as I also hear some other peripheral regulars, SW, AM, MA, FBY, IC and more. Also 407, HRU in KS, but just as clearly tuned to 404 USB. The OG guys visited again about 1545 UT April 8. They have not been able to locate source of noise, in fact say it`s widespread over entire Garfield County! We agree that it has abated a lot on MW, as I set the DX-398 on 1100 kHz - no longer any noise thereunto, no matter how rotated. They have done nothing, so it could just as easily resurge, whereupon I will notify them. I still hear considerable noise on LW via the 100-foot longwire, and on MW. Hope not enough to block any imminent Eclipse MW DX, perhaps from Texas or Louisiana beyond the totality path (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

World of Radio Hitlist Update Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Updated UTC offset notation for end of DST in New Zealand (RNZ) 2) Romania - RRI: Removed links to programme grids in English and Romanian - both return server error, and have done so for many months 3) Switzerland - C M Obrecht Radio: Added entry 4) Taiwan - RTI: Updated link to new RTI program schedule effective 1 April 5) Ukraine - RUI: Updated links to Home and On-demand pages, and added alternate link for live stream (with thanks to Alexander Miatlikov in WORiog mail list) 6) USA - WRMI: Added link to Guero's useful alternative layout of the WRMI sked grid (thanks to Guero for permission to use); also added link to WRMI programme summaries The next update is scheduled for early May. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, April 6 at 2207 tune-in via Buenos Aires remote, S8 phone tones SFX from LRA36 in contact info, ID, regular Saturday broadcast. Seems like another chaotic, soon unheard and 2224 check definitely off, just S3/S5 noise level. Still nothing audible at 2300, but a JBV trace on the waterfall! That SDR must have failed, since it is audible when I move to Mendoza tho only S3/S4, Spanish too weak for easy listening. And after 2300 there is some ACI from that ChiCom on 15480. Before 2335, no LRA36 detectable there either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5800, April 6 at 0630, pulse jamming against nothing, since WRMI ruined the frequency by putting some exile programming on it briefly months ago. Skedgrid now shows nothing needing to be jammed, especially when WRMI is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, April 6 at 0632, no signal nor noise from ORTM direct. Richard Langley says it`s also off at 1745 when hoping to record weekly Saturday English. Wolfgang Bueschel suggests absence may be due to Ramadan; well, it had been going and coming. Ramadan ends around April 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.8 AM, April 6 at 1830, gospel music broadcaster relayed by local CB pirate - only S8/S9, weaker than last time when it was // 105.5 so I check that first, and it`s a match again, K288FX translator which in turn is allegedly a relay of ``K-Love``, KYLV 88.9 OKC. No skip QRM for a change on this busy channel; nor do I hear any 10m ham beacons on a quick scan. MUF must be down, not even sporadic E? 6m DXMAP shows 71 MHz somewhere in NAm, but scattered spots are below 27 MHz. I routinely check 27185 almost every day. BTW the WTFDA FM Database is offline, rather DreamHost displays: ``db.wtfda.org is almost here! Upload your website to get started.`` Huh? Surely not my website. Still sidetracking thus at 2340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, April 6 at 2206, VOT English, VG S9+25/35 into UTwente. Lots of unID music. 2234-2236 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products`, sounds like ``catsworth keeper`` something to do with polishing oxcarts - another failure to communicate to an English audience, not spelling out unfamiliar stuff. 2236 more music, really nice with good modulation at least. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2253 s/off as if the 1330-1430 on 13635. That`s multiply wrong, outdated B23 emission. They should at least pretend this is the A24 at 1230 on 17620, as already accomplished some days. Something`s always awry at Ankara. IS played one sesquitime and chopoff at 2254.8*, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Also confirmed first SW airing, Friday April 5 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, under S9+20 line noise level direct. Confirmed new time of Friday April 5 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002, S9+10 into UTwente - except last week`s #2236 was still replaying. I hope they will get the new one on ASAP henceforth.
