** 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. Many logs here of Mix Radio International, including Radio 48, starting at 2257 June 1: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,130077.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also UNID 6925- ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 1 at 2240 continued from previous report, via UTwente, VOT just music until 2254, dredging up the Ms Badax s/off mentioning only the 1230 on 17620, IS once and off 2255* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 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. Confirmed Saturday June 1 at 2300 on WTWW 9474.980; VG direct and checking various remotes averaging -20 Hz offset. KFS/SE S9+15; UTwente S8/S9; LU4AA Argentina S7/S8; Pardinho Brasil S9/+10; Brasília S6/S8; Iceland S6/S8; Querétaro S7/S9; Alaska: no signals. 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. Also confirmed UT Sunday June 2 at 0343 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, JBA in HSNL direct but S9+10/20 vs HSNL into nearby SDR, about 8 minutes into so started about 0335, the 0315v. 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 2030! Next: 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW [NEW]; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 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.

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. At 1744, 17655 is on into UTwente, VG S9+15/20 with Luso Port discussion of Angolan economy; at 17-18 regular site is VATICAN, violating Separation Of Church And State (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2245 monitoring: despite my hearing music on 9955 at 2228 Friday May 31, Jeff White replies, ``Glenn: WOR is still scheduled for 6 pm ET Friday on 9955, and our electronic log from yesterday shows it played at that time. Jeff`` And next: ``Hi Glenn, WOR 2244 (not 2245) heard via SWR Germany on Friday 31 May at 2230 UT on 3975 kHz. Best wishes, Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` Not confirmed UT Saturday June 1 at 1453 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, as no signal from 6160 into UTwente; nor on 3975. But see GERMANY: 6150 Confirmed Saturday June 1 at 1600 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday June 1 at 1733 the 1730 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, into UTwente, 6160.001 S9/+10 and 4 or 5 words behind on 3975.002, S9/+5. ``WOR 2245 confirmed via SWR Germany via my local Kiwi SDR. Saturday 1st June 17:30:20 UT on 6160 kHz. S9+5dB. However some sideband China QRM // on 3975 kHz with S9 and no sideband QRM. Lesley Illingworth reporting from Bremerhaven.`` Also confirmed Saturday June 1 starting at 1946.5 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, steady S9+15 groundwave into nearby SDR with no storm noise. Also confirmed Saturday June 1 at 2000 on WRN Europe webcast.

** CUBA [and non]. 9700, May 31 at 0409, RHC Spanish with news, S9+30/40 direct, no sign of QRM from Algeria, despite scheduling, and that not on 9500 either. Also as of June 1, Romania in Spanish at 0200-0300 evacuates from 9700 to 9740. Recheck at 0426, RHC is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 15245.244, May 31 at 1823, song at S4/S7 and way off frequency first estimated at 15234.25; yet one of better sigs on almost deadband, JBA carriers, except for USA stations. I bet it`s P`yongyang. At 1832 when measured I tune it in at UTwente where it`s VG S9/+15, and soon announcements in English as ``sweet`` music continues: how could that be coming from a hellhole rather than a paradise on earth? 1853 with typical KN accent, recites extensive times and frequencies of Voice of Korear English broadcasts, not clear if complete, and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Friday May 31 at 0200-0300, `Encore` on WRMI, first scheduled airing of fortnightly run; usually I catch a later repeat on UT Sunday or Monday; and check the playlists. But content of this new(?) program does not match either playlist nor his publicity. I notify Brice Avery, who says there was a mixup but he won`t be able to correct it until Tuesday. Anyway, I told him I very much appreciate his mixture of familiar and unfamiliar classical music! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri May 31 at 2159, just before token English from SNR, S9+30/40 direct and the other three detectable, 15390 & 15520 not yet // but 17715 is. Back at 2202 after WRMI and Turkey have faded out in R3 blackout, 17855 still audible but diminished to only S9+10/20. Missed billboard about topix, but today no Amy, only Marylin Quintana. 2207 is about the dangers of smoking, referring to https://semanasinhumo.es/ which concludes today. 2210 interview about a museum with a statue of Constantine. 2226 report by Lebanon correspondent, which I am now hearing on 15389.988, S8/S9 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 31 at 2156, VOT IS & IDs, so not off the air and not on wrong frequency this time; S9+10/20 direct, but 2202 recheck only a JBA carrier! This correlates perfectly with a WWV notice of R3 level blackout: see that under USA/WOR report. By 2224 I try UTwente when measured, as it`s S9+50 over one? hop, starting `Turkish Folk Tales` about two sultans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2245 monitoring: confirmed Friday May 31 at 2051 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz, S9+5 into UTwente. Also on WRMI webcast only. NOT confirmed Friday May 31 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, which had been the first airing on SW anywhere: monitoring direct at 2158, S9+10/20 on the meter but too undermodulated? to tell what`s on it, cannot even recognize theme at 2200. By 2202 signal is gone: correlates perfectly with WWV report of an R3 level blackout: ``Space Weather Message Code: SUMX01 Serial Number: 160 Issue Time: 2024 May 31 2221 UTC SUMMARY: X-ray Event exceeded X1 Begin Time: 2024 May 31 2152 UTC Maximum Time: 2024 May 31 2203 UTC End Time: 2024 May 31 2209 UTC X-ray Class: X1.1 Optical Class: 2b Location: S17E34 NOAA Scale: R3 - Strong NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation Potential Impacts: Area of impact consists of large portions of the sunlit side of Earth, strongest at the sub-solar point. Radio - Wide area blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication for about an hour.`` At 2228 I get to 9955 just in time via Maryland SDR, to hear choral music, NOT WOR, so looks like we have been canceled again! This makes the very much appreciated WTWW airing, UT Sat 0400 on VG 5085, now the first on SW from USA. First anywhere should be Fri 2230 on SWR Germany 3975, which I missed checking this week. Since I record on Thursday afternoon including some possibly perishable info, the sooner WOR can get on the air somewhere, the better.

Or resting for two sesquihours? Still nothing at 0414, 0546. 17600, May 29 at 0657, now Ifrikya FM is on and propagating across night path, S7/S8 music; might have netted some floating English if intuned by 0635. 0700 accurate TS and news in French starting with UN Security Council.

Approx. city-to-city distances, not site-to-site, on distancefromto.net 92.1, at 1522, strong signal turns out to be only KFXI with singing ID, and it`s in MONO even during C music at 1547. 100/100 kW from Marlow OK, usually fringely audible.

The increases would be from $36.00 AUD a month (I'm presently paying) to over $100 AUD a month, which is way too much. As you know, Unique Radio AU site hasn't really been all there for a while now but the increased costs has now essentially made my mind up for good. Jen's 'Calling all Radio Nutz', webcasts will continue and She will post details here with any changes (If any). I do have plans for a new service for a few hours a night, still using 5035 and 3210 kHz, USB, later in the night and hopefully a new online website under a different moniker.

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.

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.

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.

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).

** ASCENSION [and non]. 21645, Sunday May 19 at 1450, JBA carrier, almost the OSOB except for another JBAC on 21485. 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. Nor hit on any known frequency before 1500 in multi-bandscan. Something`s always wrong at RHC. By 1900, 15140 is on opening English hour but VP S3/S5 into Maryland, no 11760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2243 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday May 19 at on WRMI 9955, following fruitcake-for-Xmas promo, Ian ID, S9/+5 with jamming underaudible into Peoria SDR; into Bonaire where it`s aimed at 0015, S7/S9 with heavier jamming but still copiable.

** 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

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

** 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 target area, of the

We continue with near-blackout SW conditions: what can we expect, with an A-index of 272, blackouts reaching R3 level, per WWV. Generally on May 12, only the closest USignals are good, WWCR, Grimesland, on lower daytime bands, otherwise mostly JBA carriers at best (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ALGERIA. Re 17600 & 15160: ``The English segment (at least, the one that starts anywhere between 1800 and 1845) is called "Zoom in Africa". e.g.: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=670721051846340 Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO.

NOT confirmed UT Sunday May 12 at on WRMI 9955, since it is OFF the air, no signal into Maryland SDR nor at 0013 into Bonaire. But 9395 is VG, 9455 JBA. By 0214 we have a JBA carrier direct on 9955.

No echo here but could be in central MO between them. Network station list puts KBCV in Branson; plus lots more mostly FM: https://bottradionetwork.com/stations/ HQ are in Overland Park (Kansas City) KS. KBCV is my closest 1570 at night, since KTUZ Catoosa OK is daytimer; and KTAT Frederick OK is silent, HPRN bankruptcy, but 250/6 watts and think I never heard it. I still think 1570 should belong to XERF, source of Spanish often heard but hardly dominant for 100/100 kW.

** BRAZIL. 5940.1, May 11 at 0708, S4/S5 music with flutter, presumed RVM, during auroral conditions and WWCR 5935 weakened. Could not get enough signal on normally best 9665v to compare (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. During auroral conditions, bandscanning on caradio for anything unusual such as Spanish; reference IRCA 2023-24 Mexican Log: 590, May 11 at 0217, ``Lo Mejor`` slogan a few times, and Mexicads. That`s XEFD in Rio Bravo, Tams, but listed as La Mejor. RB is right on the border, between Matamoros and Reynosa. Dominating rather than Omaha. 670, May 11 at 0219, sports in Spanish; NO XEs on 670, or 680, surely CUBA; trace of WSCR under. 720, May 11 at 0219, no WGN to dominate, maybe weak Spanish. Nicaragua heard in past, not just Mexico. 750, May 11 at 0220, NO signal from WSB! Blacked out, or off? 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 ... PANAMA ... COM 73S`` QRZ.com: ``HP1DCP Panama flag Panama, RENE IVAN FONSECA, P.O.BOX 0819-09911, REP. OF PANAMA, Panama`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri May 10 at 2200, token English from SNR is a total loss due to auroral conditions, JBA carrier direct, likewise 15520, nothing on 17715 or 15390. 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]. WORLD OF RADIO 2242 monitoring: confirmed Friday May 10 at 2040 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995, VG S9+5 into UTwente, lite ACI from Spain 1314. 2059 IRRS s/off, and 2100 immediately into Feature Story News. As always, it will not really turn off for several more minutes. Also confirmed Friday May 10 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, VP direct tho metering S9/+10; at 2226 into Maryland SDR, good S7/S9 atop lite pulse jamming. Also confirmed Friday May 10 at 2230 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003, unusually only JBA into UTwente with severe propagation disturbance.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. May 8 circa 18 UT I`m bandscanning on the caradio since there has been Es DX into the FM band reported eastward from Arkansas, but I get nothing more than a couple suspicious fadeups on some semi-open frequencies, which could also be tropo scatter. Instead I encounter more local stuff: 89.3, KIEL, Loyal, the ``Radio 74 Internationale`` outlet which is somehow associated with France and the 3ABN TV network, which also carries it on an audio-only subchannel of K17JN Enid, still mislabeled K17JI -- with dead air, then just barely modulation of a tone? pinging at the rate of approx. 144/minute. Later at 2048 with a slightly stronger signal, it sounds like a clipped syllable by a YL voice like ``dap-dap-dap``, etc. Not convenient to check how it sound on K17JN. 87.9, May 8 at 1843 UT, dead air in stereo, full quieting. Was not there an hour before. Suspected from strange vehicle now parked next door, i.e. a mobile RF feeder not turned off when not in use. Later as I drive away, its range is little more than one block. 87.7, May 8 at 2019 UT, dead air in stereo instead of 87.9, at the busiest intersexion in Enid, US 412/81, but maintains, so from a parker, not a passer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** 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]. WORLD OF RADIO 2241 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday May 7 at 0344 the irregular 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+15 into Querétaro SDR. Confirmed Tuesday May 7 at 1320 the 1300 on WRMI 9955, but S7 JBA direct, my voice recognizable, and seems like crosstalk but nothing else should be on 9955; no jamming audible, anyway.

** 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. I can`t help but notice that some MW DX editors will never publish my Italy 1323 kHz monitoring; perhaps they would if WOR were not involved?? Also confirmed Sunday May 5 at 2154 the 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.001, S9/+10 and noisy into UTwente, and 6160.001, S9/+10 not noisy but with that RTTY dittery from about 6164 unless bandwidth narrowed less than 8 kHz. Also confirmed UT Monday May 6 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into Georgia SDR as Qro. is busy. Not confirmed UT Monday May 6 at 0300 on Area 51 via 6160- WBCQ; previous show ended on time and ID, but instead some extraneous drama. It seems A51 at a whim can skip or delay WOR, but something is still better than nothing, right? Still no WOR by 0319 as I need to catch Turkey`s Letterbox anyway. But recheck at 0346 WOR is halfway and ending about 0359 so must have started at 0330. Also confirmed Monday May 6 at 1937 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, S9+10/15 on 6160.000; S9+5/10 on 3975.002.

** 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.

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.

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].

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 is slight

** CUBA. 11760, Apr 28 at 1935, speech in English about democracy, ha2, from RHC, not off the air but S9+10 into Georgia SDR, while primary? frequency this hour, 15140, is off. 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? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 28 at 1857, clear Arabic, presumed Rep. of Yemen Radio, recovered from horrible buzzroar instead, S9+5/20 into UTwente, but chopped off air at 1859* unexpected time. 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. I was about to bandscan for a new frequency. It`s as if they deliberately changed from one to the other. 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]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday April 28 at 0330 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, at mid-break so like the Sat 1930 broadcast started approx. nominal time 0315.

** 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].

Also confirmed UT Saturday April 27 from a few sex before 0400 on WTWW, 5085, S9+15 into Missouri SDR. Followed by about a minute of music with no formal ID or s/off to 0430*. Not confirmed Saturday April 27 at 1450 the 1430 on SW Radio, Germany because 6160 is OFF the air, no signal into UTwente, what`s wrong? Nor on 3975 but which normally would not start until 1700.

Confirmed Saturday April 27 after 1930 on WRMI webcast only, and WRN N America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday April 27 at 1952 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, about 22 minutes into. Also confirmed Saturday April 27 after 2000 on WRN Europe webcast. Also confirmed UT Sunday April 28 at on WRMI 9955, S8/S9 direct. Unique Radio, Australia, as of Apr 27 ``currently off air except for Jen live`` -- and Tim Gaynor does mean off, not even webcasting as the program sked is now entirely blank, so we have to remove Wed 1200 & 1230 WOR entries. https://www.uniqueradio.biz/ One of Jen`s shows, `Calling All Radio Nutzzz` has been appearing irregularly, but publicized in major DX lists a day or two before.

During that hour the other // scheduled is 15160, which ought to propagate better across the nightside. In fact, 17600 is still incoming direct much better, S3/S6, but there is no English, rather 0634 French, 0638 song, 0644 French and into Arabic 0646. At first I thought much weaker 15160 was //, but then clearly not, talk continuing while 17600 in music. 15160 never strong enough to be certain of language, unable to recognize intonation as English. At 0700, 17600 news in French. MM was also rechecking this with somewhat different results: ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Lugo, Sangean ATS-909X: Ifrikya FM, checked at 0528-0650, 25-04, on air on 9500 with program in Arabic and French. Good signal. At 0559 closed on 9500 and open on 17600 and 15160 with African songs and program in French, at 0630 news in French and comments at 0638 African song. At 0638 transmission cut off abruptly on 15160 and returns at 0642, no cut off on 17600, at 0645 news in French and Arabic. No English segment today. Fair on 17600, good on 15160`` Was I getting something else on 15160? Yes! Aoki & EiBi show CRI Mandarin via Jinhua 831 site until 0700.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Apr 24 at 2209, I can almost imagine a JJBBA RC direct from LRA36. This is Wednesday but am checking now since there was one report of it last Wed Apr 17 by Roberto Pavanello, in the playdx iog which keeps running some years after the passing of its founder Dario Monferini: ``[playdx2019] TIPS da Vercelli 15476USB 17/4 20.40 R. Nac. Arcangel S. Gabriel - Base Esperanca SS talk suff`` -- I meant to check earlier when it might have been on again. No current/recent info from station about its scheduling. It used to have a Wed airing as well as Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, Apr 24 at 1908, NO signals direct from RHC English hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 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. Synchlox as I toggle back and forth: 11935.320.27; at 1710, 11935.321.03; at 1711, 11935.319.78. Quick recheck at 1926: still going. Not a hint of any program audio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 11645, Apr 24 at 2256, open carrier S9+10/15 into Jakarta SDR; 2259 tone test; 2259.5 BBCWS promo, ID, 2300 timesignal about 3 sex late as received, plug next show about health after news, 2301 news. This is a new frequency via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES, effective today, ex-11825; 250 kW aimed 200 degrees for Indonesia centred about Jakarta. Not clear what was the problem with 11825. Listings showed no co-channel anywhere this hour; only possible adjacent QRM would be 11830 CRI Spanish via East Turkistan, but which should not be a problem in target. 11645 is the *only* scheduled BBC English channel this hour in its ever-shrinking SW output. I believe some N Americans had been listening to it, perhaps via longpath. I check it direct after 2306 and find it JBA S3/S4; 11825 vacant; 11830 presumed CRI JBA S4/S5. 9440 remains at 22-23 on same parameters. Checking it direct at 2213, when it is also the *only* BBC channel, it`s JBA slightly offset + and bothered by a carrier on 9441.00; have to tune LSB for any chance to listen. Het might be jamming, tnx to the ChiCom where they have allowed far too many megadenizens to understand English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Apr 24 at 2200, token triweekly English from SNR, VG direct and almost as good backward on 15520, starts talking about World Book Day, celebrated in Spain by public readings of Don Quijote de la Mancha, not only in Castilian but translations. One lasted 48 hours. Says Spanish is #2 language in world, 500 megaspeakers native plus 600M as second language. After news, 2210 Justin Coe voice with contact info including complicated postal address. 2212 feature interviews curator of a photography exhibition until 20 July by the Banco de España, about history of Spain, not just the bank. Naturally, no visual element to this radio report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 24 at 2200, no signal direct from VOT English for second night in a row; still nothing later in hour into UTwente, nor a possible 9875 overrun. Something`s very erroneous at Emirler. Need to check whether others be absent such as 0300 on 7275, 6165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Our biweek of limbo is over. WOR was removed from this timeslot on the skedgrid but continued to air on April 9 & 16, instead of another of the ~three dozen weekly repeats of Wavescan --- but this is not Wavescan, either! All music, from a live concert with an applause break? No announcements unless something missed at the very beginning. Sounds sorta Israeli, maybe Passover special? 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.

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.

** CUBA. 15140, Apr 16 at 1415, RHC Spanish flanked by diffuse spurblobs about plus/minus 3.5 kHz, and a weaker pair +/- 7~ kHz. 15230 also on, S5/S7 but suptorted = modulation suppressed and distorted. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 9880, Apr 16 at 2220, S8/S9 with flutter hard to read at first seems English intonation, then Esperanto, which is what`s listed this hour from CRI via Kashi-Saiba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 15440, Apr 16 at 1458, good signal in unID lang until 1459*. Aoki shows TWR Asia via Talata in Urdu at 1430-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Apr 16 at 0654, ORTM with music modulation instead of noiseblob like last night; vs high storm noise level from nearby - a bit earlier we had a lite hailstorm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAIPAN [and non]. 11894.945 approx., Apr 16 at 0649, S5/S7 direct, at first unseems Chinese, then it does seem. RFA sked at 0300-0700, surely jammed, but this may have a propagational advantage and more likely to be off-frequency. However, per Aoki, also on 11895 is CRI English via East Turkistan at 05-09. The SSOB except for similar signal on 12065, BBC Hausa via ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 16 at 1508 check direct, S3/S4 of roar but sounds loud. SAWA Riyadh. BTW, in ** country headers I dispense with diacritix in order not to confuse searching, but within an item I will spell it like Sa`udi Arabia; Qur`an, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TINIAN [non?]. 13795, Apr 16 at 1432, Chinese, S3/S7 with flutter. RFA Cantonese this hour only. So if really Mandarin instead, would be CNR1 *jammer. However, are the Chicom less thoro in jamming minority langs other than Tibetan? Only one signal audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.010, Apr 16 standing by direct for TRT signal, not cut on until a few sex past 2200, some dead air, JIP programming. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler, mentions `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products`, evidently a program preview and into headlines. S9+20 with flutter, ACI from 11780 Brasil unless USB tuning. By I notice lots of Doppler flutter on 11785, i.e. propagation-caused frequency wobbling/instability. 2250 into UTwente, more stable when measured in music, but more up-and-down fading than sidewise. 2252 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2253 badax s/off for the 1230 on 17620 only. 2254 IS. 2256 pause and restart IS, now with German ID heard once just before chopoff* ahead of 2257. BTW, VOT has been notifying German and English listeners, at least, about a planned maintenance break at Emirler for Thursday April 18 at 06-15 UT, as Paul Gager in Austria reports to BDXC-UK on April 15: ``I heard on Monday after the TRT-news in English: `and we have an announcement because of attendance(?)/repair works on our transmitter on April 18, our English broadcast will not be available from 9 am to 6 pm on Thursday on shortwave``` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Next: ** U S A. 4840, Apr 16 at 0650, S9+45 of dead air from WWCR-3 instead of TOMBS. Std remark about no one at station paying attention, yet again - and not even a squeal to make it a bit more interesting: that may require some attempt at modulation to set it off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15825, Apr 16 at 1502, JBA carrier from WWCR-1. Usually more than that; conditions must be depressed. But lower channels are progressively stronger. 13845 at only S5/S7 but typically indicating the MUF somewhere between 14 and 16 MHz; 12160 S9 with squeal; 9980 S9+25 with a bit o` squeal. When 15825 inbooms at its one-megameter distance, we know it has to be sporadic E, even if it never reach the TV or FM bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9350, Apr 16 at 2216, WWCR-2, S9+20/30 gospelhuxterism with squeal, same transmitter as on 7490, 12160, 5935 at other dayparts. Something`s noxious in Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9475, Apr 16 at 2217, WTWW S9+40/50 direct with love song, seemingly secular, then into a Native American singer; is there a specific program schedule?

Yes, ISS listed at 0530-0550 for Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5990-6000, Apr 15 at 0613, Bamako resumes noiseblobbing instead of any program audio, S8/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 6950, Apr 15 at 0609 UT, JBA 5 x 1390, local KCRC Enid, Intruder, not to be confused for a pirate, but stupid sportstalk. Axually good to hear it since it means my noise level has reduced. More common and a tad stronger is 4170 = 3 x 1390. 2780 = 2 x 1390 is always there, but rarely on 5560 = 4 x 1390, an area I don`t much patrol. Our other local, KGWA, used to be a neighbor on 2880 = 3 x 960, but not lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Apr 15 at 1430 UT, Enid`s only local TV signal, K17JN-D is still mis-IDing as K17JI-D - main channel 17-1 3ABN is freezing and breaking up, while the higher subs are black. There is tropo now but I don`t think this be DX QRM. By 2300 recheck, more or less normal, but 17-3 is black, yet with equal signal to others on the STB meter (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.019, Sunday April 14 at 2203, VOT English not off the air but S9+50 into UTwente, like-a-local-loud. Further off+frequency than usual. 2223 `Weekly Analysis` about Egypt economy being assisted by other Arab countries -- sounds familiar from last week(s), authored by John somebody. 2229 ``with-you-every hour`` promo, `Letterbox`. 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. And why do so many of them say ``73`` -- their year of birth?? 2247 time`s up but still time for a tune before L`box closing at 2252, ``always-by-your-side``. 2253 canned s/off by the badax for the 1230 on 17620. Interval signal chopped after six notes and off by 2254*. No finesse, something`s always erroneous at Emirler.

WORLD OF RADIO 2238 monitoring: confirmed Sunday April 14 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+5/10 into UTwente across Europe; lite CCI music with fast SAH, increases during our fade. Sounds like Qur`an, so Iran. Missed checking the Sunday 2130 on SWR, Germany, 3975 & 6160. Anyone? Confirmed UT Monday April 15 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9 offbeam into Maryland SDR, but that includes heavy continuous OTH radar? noise. To ear and to eye on the waterfall, it extends only from 7770 to 7783. I bring up another closer to bore for comparison, but stops abruptly at 0037 and does not resume. Anyhow, S7/S9+5 into Mississippi. It seems the one in Louisiana is still there but no longer IDed as Maurice, and anyhow does not connect now. There is also one showing later in Querétaro, closest to SW angle from Okee and indeed getting 7780 much better. I think owned by an American active MWDXer who lives there. Confirmed UT Monday April 15 from 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.930, S9/+10 into NH SDR. Missed checking Mon Apr 15 at 0930 on SWR 6160 and 1930 on 6160 & 3975. Anyone hear them?

** CUBA. 15140, April 14 at 1930, RHC English is on, S5/S6 into Maryland SDR with squeal; waterfall clearly shows two spurs wider than center frequency, about 15136.3 and 15143.7, the lower one slightly brighter. 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.

Still at next check 1926. The SA transmitter is haywire again. Had been clear starting April 2. Or are there two different transmitters? Why in the world would they let it transmit for long hours/days/months in such a condition? Inaudible programming presumably still Republic of Yemen Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17865, April 14 at 1542, R. Martí weekend service for Cuban forces for Russia in Ukraine, is still running, music at the moment, sked 13-17 S, and still 17-21 M-F on 17690. 17865 achieves S9+5/15 into UTwente, so presumably also audible by the mercenaries, should they care to listen, or even be aware of it. 1545 DJ mentions Peter Gabriel, Music without Frontiers, so this is not just music fill. Must be referring to and playing `Games without Frontiers`, which could be interpreted as anti-war: https://kanto.co/lyrics/peter-gabriel/games-without-frontiers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2238 monitoring: continued from last report: on IRRS/NEXUS/IBA/IPAR webcast only, the Sat 2334 airing is indeed out of kilter as always, still running by UT Sun April 14, when I hear via Argentine remote the WRMI 9955 play at , S9+5 already starting, until about .4 when I am faded out by IRRS to be replaced by fill music! This is because `Feature Story News` has to run at 2330. I have asked them before to let us air completely from 2330 to 2359 - then FSN, fill music or whatever! Also confirmed UT Sunday April 14 from 0340.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+20 into nearby remote; delayed by the almost interminable Houston Hamsat net playback, and then for less than 15 minutes, ARRL News - so once you hear that you know WOR will be along shortly.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Apr 13 at 2145 tune-in early for LRA36, but it`s already running, VP into only BsAs remote working, Spanish but no match for S7 noise level. 2149 switch to Brasília SDR where it`s *much* better tho only S3/S6 with music, 2155 ID, 2214 & 2216 IDs in passing. Reduced carrier barely perceptible by tuning lower in USB. By 2235 faded down to only S2/S3, barely readable. 2340 next check is gone, just splash from 15480 China. So I wonder what time starting now, and still only on Saturday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 6070, Sat Apr 13 after 1900, `From the Isle of Music` confirmed on its new schedule, monthly on second Saturday via Channel 292, S9+5/10 into UTwente. Monthly on third Sat will be `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, April 13 at 0618, ORTM is on for a change, African song with strumming, S9+15/25 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6184.97 approx., April 13 at 0620, this time XEPPM air really is dead on S9/+30 signal.

WORLD OF RADIO 2238 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday April 13 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+20/25 direct. Don`t you believe also on 7730, as misdisplayed for months/years on the WRMI skedgrid. 7730 is JBA but not //. Altho now ``effective March 10, 2024``, the System F - redsked shows at 01-03 everything on both frequencies. Yet the frequency sked atop shows System L on 7730 during those hours. Yet the System L yellowsked itself shows 5950 only! This error affects many other programs and programmmes, such as Encore, RNEI, RFPI, R. Carpathia, CQ Calling, The Mighty KBC, Rosie`s Retro Wave. WOR 2238 also confirmed UT Saturday April 13 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, VG into NH remote. I`m pleased with how reliably and accurately Bob Biermann has been playing WOR each week, and tnx to George McClintock for availablizing the time and keeping the transmitter running. Also confirmed Saturday April 13 at 1450 the 1430 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S9+5 into UTwente Also confirmed Saturday April 13 at 1613 the 1600 on WRN N America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday April 13 at 1930 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, already underway, mid-break at 1939 so started early circa 1925.

Five freedoms against totalitarianism in Cuba: a grassroots initiative
The new movement aims to unite Cubans of all kinds to, first of all,
put an end to 'five forms of internal state subjugation'.
Ángeles Rosas, Madrid, 08 Abr 2024 - 18:21 CEST -- A woman promotes
the Five Freedoms against Totalitarianism initiative. 5L Campaign
[caption]
On Thursday an anti-regime group launched the Five Freedoms (5L)
citizens' initiative against Totalitarianism, "the people's answer to
the economic package," which offers solutions to overcome the serious
socio-economic crisis suffered by Cubans and put an end to the
oligarchic state of GAESA...
{¿Su nombre? Grupo de Administración Empresarial, SA (Gaesa), el grupo
empresarial de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias (FAR) con
ramificaciones que van desde el sector hotelero hasta las tiendas
minoristas de ventas de productos en divisas, pasando por las aduanas
y los puertos, entre muchos otros.}
...Thus, "freedom from terror" consists of an "end to repression and
the one-party political dictatorship;" "economic freedom," of an "end
to the internal restrictions on free enterprise; "freedom of
expression," of the "end of censorship;" "freedom association," of an
"end to the prohibition of citizen organizations;" and "freedom of
movement," of an "end to exile and the exclusion from Cuba's exiles as
a community."...``

Aoki shows this hour is Chinese from KSDA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, April 8 at 1930, presumed Rep. of Yemen Radio, Arabic still going; into UTwente now has ACI from 11930 and AACI from 11925. That would now be Martí, and I guess VORW via France as sked this hour Mondays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Apr 8 at 2208, token English from REE VG direct tho some deep fading on the DX-390, feature today about manga/anime in Spain. Not interested. However, further tuning on R75 found quite sufficient signals on the other three, 15390 at S9+10; 15520 at S9+10/20; 17815 at S9+10/20; 17855 at S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 8 at 2215, no signal direct from VOT English. 2230 I thought it had come on, rather bleed from 11780 Brasil in bandwidth too wide. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE MW DX MONITORING, April 8, 2024 from 1830 past 1900 UT. 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 stmi.
[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. At precisely 0800, it appeared on 9635, so clearly the same transmitter. Terry Krueger, FL (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.000, April 8 at 1605, Qur`an, S9+20 into UTwente but undermodulated and with heavy ACI from S9+30 11940, CRI English via Kashi, std. denunciation, this hour only. 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*.

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.

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.

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.

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated April 4: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html ** ARGENTINA [non]. A Dario in Italy asked me whether RAE relay in Italian is really airing at 12-13 M-F on 15770 as in WRMI skedgrid. I try very hard to be asleep at that hour, but it shows another Italian at 16-17 Mon-Thu on 15770, so I check that at 1610 Wed Apr 3: dead air JBA into UTwente, and definitely dead air into Maine SDR. RAE relays are extremely unreliable. There was also dead air at 1430 on 9955, supposedly RAE in French. At best, there would be multilingual RAE IDs over and over, but no programming. Note: ``dead air`` means a signal transmitted but no modulation. If there is no signal at all, don`t call it dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [and non]. 13650, April 2 at *2325, NHK IS starts, mixing about equally into UTwente with CRI ``Portuguese`` fill music only from 2300 on Cuban relay as has been the case for years. NHK Vietnamese sked to start at 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KUWAIT. 11970 & 15530, April 3 at 0502, and several chex past 0619, NO signals from R. Kuwait into Kuwait SDR and UTwente. There used to be two sesquihours of English at 05-08. At 0548 however, OTH radar was hitting 11970. Yet WRTH A24 update also as of April 3: ``English Days Area kHz 0500-0800 daily Eu 15530kbd 0500-0800 daily SAs 11970kbd (D, i) 1800-2100 daily Eu 15540kbd (D, t)`` Does the 15540 broadcast exist, either? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed April 3 at 2200, SNR finally gets its new NAm frequency going on 4th day of A24 season, sufficient on DX-398 with reelout clipon, but some deep fades. Topic to be the only museum in the world about the Spanish Civil War, which is not in Spain, but Canada! But first the news, leading with Spain recognizing Palestine in the UN as an independent country? 2208 A24 sked in future tense but this is the future, again nothing specific about English. 2209 feature interview with a founder of that museum. I listen to the whole thing but they never mention *where* in Canada it be! FYI, Canada is almost 20X the area of Spain. They did mention a website, once toward the end so I could not copy it. So I go to google. There is a *virtual* SCWM based in Barcelona, https://spanishcivilwarmuseum.com/ and three other cities in Spain have some kind of lead. I never heard about it being virtual during the interview, but here`s one with a Canadian URL, still hiding any physical location: https://www.vscw.ca/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.007, April 3 at 2200 check into DX398 with clipon, VOT English confirmed active but quite inferior direct to Spain 17855 so that`s what I mainly listen to. Via UTwente at 2253 when measured, S9+45/50, s/off as if the 1230 on 17620, and IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs interspersed. 2300 timesignal and s/on German, possibly correct times and frequencies of earlier non-extraneous German. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Wakes up and chops it off at 2311.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17690.000, April 3 at 1710, R. Martí in Spanish toward Ukraine, ex-17680, audible at Maryland SDR but too close to NC. S9+10/20 into UTwente --- also with ticking OTH radar ranging 17670-17710, suspiciously as if employed for jamming, but no bother on center frequency at UTwente where measured. And radar gone by 1741 recheck. Strangely enough, neither 17690 nor 17680 in latest HFCC April 3, the only GB entries on 16m being VOA on 17530, 17850. Lower RMs for Cuba do appear. Nor does 17865, if that still apply for R. Martisky on weekends 13-17; no conflicts there. 17680 is out because now it`s NHK via France at 17-19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2236 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday April 2 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 into UTwente, surprisingly good since it`s aimed NNW. Also confirmed new time of Tuesday April 2 at 2330 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002, S9/+5 into UTwente - just as I am announcing the SWR WOR times but before this additional one was known. Not confirmed Wednesday April 3 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, secret time but had been there for several months, rather finally running as per sked, `Frecuencia al Día`, in Spanish, VP direct, confirmed as that via webcast at 1427. WOR had been on sked Thursday at 1400 (1500 winter), but never airing, and now that is off the sked anyway. Altho heard this week, I also see that the WOR, UT Tue 0330 on 7780 has been eliminated. 1430 M-F on 9955 is supposedly RAE, Argentina in French but abnormally nothing but multilingual IDs over and over, yet today it was silence with transmitter still on the air. Something`s odd at Okeechobee. More at separate WRMI log below. WOR confirmed Wednesday April 3 from 1931 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S9+10 and 3975.001, S9+5/15, into UTwente. Confirmed Wednesday April 3 at 2109 the 2100 on WBCQ, 7490-, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany

"MALDIVES BROADCAST ENDING ON MARCH 31ST, 2024
When this project began, we said that the “enemy was roaring like a
lion”, due to a series of events that almost stopped this project
before it started:
* The Maldives government thwarted the use of a medium-wave signal
directed that would target the Maldives.
* The Maldives increased their internet censorship and surveillance
towards Christian material.
* Our Maldivian radio announcers became worried about the recording
their voices for use on the broadcast and declined to record.
* Audio Bible content in the Dhivehi language, which was originally
promised, was found to be not yet approved for radio broadcast use and
additional Christian content in Dhivehi was hacked and deleted by the
government.
* Our original radio partners decided that they couldn't offer any
additional help or assistance with the project . . . . .
* Recorded and broadcasted the gospel into the Maldives for 731 days
straight (once our broadcast ends on March 31st, 2024)"``

See that for much more about the obstacles they faced. Also led to
quite a discussion thread on the WOR iog. April DX Fanzine has two
QSLs for 11620 filed as Uzbekistan, tho station says nothing about
site. I`m convinced it cannot be UZB for propagational reasons, more
likely Taiwan or maybe Australia. Now that it`s all over with nothing
to lose, station should come clean and reveal true site! (Glenn

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, April 1 at 0136, pirate music S9/+10.
These say it`s Outhouse Radio, with some fuzzy OHR SSTVs:

direct much weaker than 11785 TURKEY, q.v. But into Maryland SDR it`s
VG, supposedly -65 Hz offset - rx is miscalibrated as UTwente shows
.000 or at most minus one Hz. Maryland puts WWV 15000 minus 82 Hz,
1 minus 55 Hz! At 2214 `RRI Encyclopedia`; back to Turkey for
mailbag which proves to be a repeat, so I quit that and resume
Romaniaing. `Culture Event`

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Updated UTC offset notations for change to DST: Germany (HCJB), Greece (VoG), Romania (RRI) and Spain (REE) 2) Aggregator - radioben: Service no longer seems to be fully maintained, although some podcasts remain and links updated to access these. 3) Aggregator - Radio Garden: Labels updated to reflect that the service is only fully available for users outside of UK; UK users are restricted to access of UK stations only 4) Bangladesh - Bangladesh Betar: Removed links to programme schedule and livestream schedule - neither can be found anymore on website 5) Brazil - R Brasil Central: Updated link to programme schedule 6) Bulgaria - Spaceline Bulgaria: Added link to Spaceline Bulgaria's home and news pages 7) Canada - BVB: Updated frequency links to new A-24 schedule 8) China - V Tibet: Updated labels and links for former Holy Tibet to current Hello Xizang programming 9) Oman - R Sultanate of Oman: Updated home page link to navigate to Sultanate of Oman radio portal 10) Russia - R Sputnik: Updated links to home page and live stream 11) Russia - R Rossii: Updated links to home page and live stream The next update is scheduled for early April (to update DST for New Zealand) Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** ALGERIA. 17600, March 31 at 1445, fair signal, Ifrikya FM still here in A24. Full sked, needlessly long, one hour at a time, with all familiar frequencies, maybe no changes at all from B23: https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A24=TDA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98, March 30 at 2359, algo here into Argentine SDR, gone at * March 31 - normal closing time for LRA36: trouble is, mostly absent during random chex previous sesquihour, as in previous report, supposedly from *2200 on Saturdays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ASCENSION. 9440, March 31 at 0630, S8/9+20, African language mentions Gaza, BBC. Hausa now sked 0629-0700, 250 kW, 65 degrees. See also UKQOGBANI [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 5910-, March 31 at 0632, no signal from Alcaraván Radio. Has anyone heard it lately? B23 had been blocked 03-05 by CRI via Cuba, but that`s reverted to 9790 for A24. HFCC shows nothing else entire night hours on 5910; but ``reserved`` 24 h for IRDR via Vatican placeholder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. Re yesterday`s report: ``As mentioned several weeks ago, RHC Arabic is Sundays only (French is Monday to Saturday). Temporary situation? Right now (1808) [March 31] Arabic is aired on 15140. Jean-Michel Aubier, France`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 // better 11760, Sunday March 31 at 1520, weekly Esperanto from RHC reconfirmed, both only poor to fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 17735, March 31 at 1445, Chinese dramatic narration, S8/S9 with flutter. HFCC A24 shows CRI in Chinese at 13-16, 500 kW, 308 degrees via Kashgar for western Europe, but carries on well USward. From the land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 11590, March 31 at 1456, S6/S8 in Turkic language with keyword ``Radiosa``, address partially pronounced in English but can`t copy reveal. A24 HFCC shows KTWR in Kazakh, daily 1445-1500, 250 kW at 305 degrees. Beware, some `KTWR` broadcasts are really via Madagascar, but apparently not this one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, March 31 at 1520, NO signal from V of Martyrs Korea; had been extremely reliable from secret site, must have moved for A24. I have queried HQ, WTF,K, no point in even asking about site. WRTH 2024 frequency page 722 shows TWN as if this were certain; page 554 under KOREA SOUTH says 11620ust - which means Taiwan, exact site unknown. However, header mentions only sites Kununurra and Tashkent, but all other broadcasts tagged tac. Some continue to claim this is Uzbekistan as in Aoki, not EiBi, but I say over and over, Uz is unbelievable propagationally here in deep North America. Editors, don`t you dare file this log under Uzbekistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, March 31 at 0634, S9+10 direct, noise blob is back. No trace of any program audio if it were mixing by ORTM, nor externally jammed. Last night there was nothing; sometimes ORTM alone OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 13690, March 31 at 0645, English at S9+20/30, SSOB. New frequency for RNZP, per HFCC at 06-10, 50 kW each at 325 and 35 degrees. But own sked shows Pacific only = 35 degrees, and at 0559-0858 only, preceded by 17675, proceeded by 11725 - and then from 1259, 7440 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Heavy tropo blob over OK and vicinity, March 31 at 1511 UT, so DTV bandscan finds lots of BAD signals on `empty` channels; RF 28 decoding with ION, so KTPX Okmulgee. RF14 not decoding but PSIP label 8-1 ABC barely visible; and a BAD signal on RF19 which is extremely unusual vs KAUT OKC, our only ATSC-3 signal which I can`t see or even detect via the

WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES updated for A24 and DST in Europe will be available by 0400 UT March 31: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html ** ANTARCTICA [non]. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Mar 31 at 2226, NO signal of LRA36 into Argentine SDR; 2303 recheck something distorted and at first there seems to be a JBA RC, then just heavy splash from 15480 Chinese. Not in B23 skeds, but HFCC A24 shows CNR Beijing in Chinese from 2300, 100 kW at 222 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, March 30 at 1513-1518+, Trenton Military with at least 5 minutes straight of `no report received` from several Canadian locations only, even Trenton itself. At least the timechex are correct. It would be interesting to know exactly by what routing reports are received, and where and how the failure(s) may occur (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, March 30 at 1820, RHC in French, with squeal, only S7 into Maryland SDR and zero signal into UTwente. WRTH 2024 showed Arabic at 1900-1930 on 15140, which one would expect to find at 1800 during DST, since we know that English has shifted from 2000 to 1900. Homepage also says ``Ahora Reproduciendo Arabe`` but we hear Spanish instead, not French either. So is there any Arabic now on RHC? Certainly Arabic website: https://www.radiohc.cu/ar Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, March 30 at 0619, NO signal direct from ORTM, no noise blob either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March 30 at 2305, no signal of VOT into UTwente, but *2315.7 Chinese from EAST TURKISTAN chops on. May be ordinary TRT failure, but I should have checked 11785 after 2200 in case they got a jump on A24. That`s wherewhen English to us should be, or not, for the next 7 months. HFCC shows no CCI or ACI, but Brasil`s bigsig on 11780 is never registered (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Incredibly, someone is suggesting that Joe Biden and the USA were really behind the terrorist attack on a concert hall in Moscow! Despite US having warned Russia that intelligence showed that ISIS-K was planning such an attack. Don`t recognize the voice, so also surprised when outro before hourtop is `Truth2Ponder`, Bob Biermann`s show, but I did not recognize the voice as his, nor was he identified by name. I see on the WRMI Programming page, ``Bob Biermann and a group of talented and experienced individuals will sort through today’s news`` so apparently really someone else. Of course the recently updated WRMI System G program sked shows this 9395 hour occupied by TOMBS. WTWW stays on another semihour until 0431* with Christian music, A-W-R IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, Thu Mar 28 at 0630, WRMI-8 with Bach solo `cello music, but 0633 into an Irish song, S9+35/40 direct. Yet more contradictory info on skedgrid. Transmitter sked shows TOMBS Tue-Sat during this hour, but System E program sked of TOMBS shows the opposite, 5950 starting at 0600 on weekends only! Anyway, this is obviously not TOMBS! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5890, Thursday March 28 at 0628, S9+50 gospel huxter, WWCR-4 on air despite sked showing OFF air M-F at 05-12, otherwise TOMBS on weekends: but this is not // 5850 WRMI where Scourby is Bibling on TOMBS. What`s this? Seems I have caught such an anomaly before. Since 5935 is also on, they coöperate to produce the leapfrog mixing product of both audios on 5980, providing Cuba with something to jam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0212 UT March 29 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com

WORLD OF RADIO PODCAST ON YOUTUBE, replacing Google Podcast Thanks to Keith Weston for arranging this: ``Hi Glenn, It looks like the new "podcast" feed via YouTube is now fully active and reliable. https://www.youtube.com/@WorldofRadio Official details of what this is and why it is happening at : https://support.google.com/podcast-publishers/thread/264592324 Basically, the iTunes-like Google Podcast service will cease to function on 2 April 24. Anyone who uses the Google Podcast app (or a play their podcasts via Google Smart speaker) will need to start using YouTube or YouTube Music apps paired with their devices. It's a real pain and I hate this decision, but that's the Googleverse we live in now. Setting the new stuff up for smart speakers is a little tricky, but your followers are smart cookies and I wager they'll figure it out. Best, -- Keith Weston`` http://keithweston.com http://www.facebook.com/keithweston All podcasts linked at http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html ** CUBA. 15140, March 27 at 1535, RHC Spanish, S9+10 direct, ending sports report at 1538, with squeal, perhaps related to spurblob? about 15143.6, and weaker at 2x above, 15147.2; but not clear matches on minus side. // 11760 also on but weaker S5/S7. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, March 27 at 0645, noise blob again instead of regular modulation from ORTM; back and forth from one night to the next. Or could it be jamming? Following a military coup in 2020, elexions scheduled for Feb `24 were postponed, per VOA news (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, March 26 at 2335, horrible roar still on, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR. March 27 at 1543, JBA direct. At 1613, S9+10/22 into Kuwait SDR; at 1842, S9. 2220, S9 direct. UTwente unreachable. 2238, S8/S9 into Kuwait. Still at 2345 into UTwente. As for sites, Ed The Navydude in Riyadh says, ``Jeddah is not active. Neither is Ha'il. Only Riyadh is active albeit barely. They're hoping to get new transmitters if they end up continuing shortwave`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Mar 27 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG S9+40/45, today to be about Semana Santa activities, such as parades, but lots of precip, some may be rained out. In recounting the significance of the nigh dates about JC, which wander all over the spring calendar, they never say ``allegedly`` - this is journalism? 2307 repeating the basic A24 SW sked, and yes, 17855 not 17885 for us. Then quite a stretch explaining how one group which dresses in sheets has nothing to do with the KKK, as American tourists are shocked. 2319 on to food. 2324 `Halleluyah Chorus`, 2327 report from Beirut about some other easterish festival (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, continued from last report, March 27 at , into UTwente, VOT`s 2300 English has not gone off, still on with timesignal and extraneous German, and continues for some time, unknown exactly when turned off, but by 0030 nothing but Chinese from EAST TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March at 2300, no show of VOT English into Maryland SDR, nor 2345 later in the hour, but *2311 XJRTV EAST TURKISTAN in Chinese. Not on 9610 either, rather CNR in Mongolian. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K Q O G B A N I. 24970 USB, March 27 at 1530, G0VQO is one of two phone signals on 12m band. QRZ.com: ``G0VQO England flag England, Nick Haynes, 139 Hull Road, Anlaby, Hull HU10 6ST, England -- I no longer send QSL cards Sorry. Hi I have been licenced since 1995 and still enjoy radio, my favourite bands are 12m and 20m, I am active on all the bands`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 8992 USB, March 27 at 1546, occasional syllables between long pauses, presumably a failed EAM from Andrews or somebase, not modulating properly. I usually start my 9-MHz-bandscans here; or if circa 2230 on 8989 for the pescador predicador circa Nicaragua uncaught for longtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2235 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday March 26 at 2335 the 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/20 into Maryland SDR. NOT confirmed March 27 at 1425 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, as it is OFF the air; too late to check webcast. 9395 is audible poorly and maybe 9455. Confirmed Wednesday March 27 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975, S9/+15 into western Ireland SDR as UTwente temporarily unavailable. >From next week: 1930 on 6160 & 3975. NOT confirmed March 27 at 2100 on WBCQ because 7490- is also OFF the air, no signal into NH, ME, MD remotes. But confirmed on webcast. The others are detectable: 5130+, 6160-, 9330.0. 7490 still AWOL past 2220, why?
