It`s Wednesday, so has been appearing regularly; maybe from 2100 already come and gone. No one else has reported it. The new 2023 overwinter crewe should activate soon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA [and non]. 5909.950 & close to 6010.00, April 12 at 0618, the two reactivations are S9 with separate music: Alcarav?n Radio and La Voz de tu Conciencia. 5910 is clear while 6010 has a low het, presumably R. Inconfid?ncia, Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 11850, April 12 at 0629, S7/S9 of dead air with flutter. HFCC shows DW in Hausa via Issoudun daily at 0630-0700 -- but still dead after 0630. Might have been RHC, where 11850 is nominally a tarde frequency only, usually JBM, but no trace now of parasitic JBA spur carriers on 11860 & 11840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, April 12 at 1530, S7/S9 with heavy flutter talk direct. Only active frequency now below 17500. Could be both Deng? Welat and Recep Turkish jammer, but can`t be sure there be two signals now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. Re my report of Taupo on 6224 USB, Ron Howard replies: ``Hi Glenn, Regularly I listen to Taupo Maritime Radio on 6224 USB, usually with fairly decent reception. Not only with marine conditions and warnings, etc., but also ending with radio "propagation conditions expected from . . . ." April 12 - Heard from tune in at 0928 to 0940* UT.

Incredible incompetence, like several other SW stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Apr 12 at 2200, tokEnglish from SNR, VG direct. After 5 minutes of news, 2205 feature seems to be H?lena interviewing a sculptress from Lithuania now exhibiting in Madrid. Altho I`m all for the Arts, REE overdoes it, maybe due to staff interest, or ``safe`` non-political subjects. As always, very lacking any visual element. At end her name uttered once sounded like Munia ben-Jamada, hardly Lithuanic and subjects were rather Arabic, so maybe two separate topix as I dozed and napped unavoidably. Ken Zichi has been monitoring and reporting these in much more detail, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11875, April 12 at 0353, VOT English on totally wrong frequency signing off what should have been on 7275 from 0300, and off at 0354.7*. VG into Maryland SDR. Yes, 11875 not 11785. Tnx to tip from Ricky Leong, AB who had been hearing it since 0315. If it were 11785, I figured they would have failed to change frequency after the previous English at 2200. It is still on 6165 with the usual warble, no more RHC, but that`s for Asia, not us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 12 at 2158, VOT IS, so not off the air today, usual slightly overmodulated distorted. But I opt to escuche Spainstsead, q.v. Furthermore check circa 2315 to UTwente found no extra German either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
