ARGENTINA 15343.922 kHz Radio Nacional Spanish sce from Buenos Aires on
weekends. S=9+20dB at 2145 UT on May 28, heard here in southern Germany.
Its strange modulation, distorted, not easily to understand program content.
Approx. 6.2 kHz bandwidth.

** ALBANIA. 9855, May 29 at 0123, 0130, 0134 chex, NO signal from R. Tirana,
unlike last night when they tried several times to keep the transmitter on air
and modulate it. UT Monday is silent, so not until UT Tuesday will we know
whether it`s fixed --- unless we check other daily scheduled broadcasts from
same single transmitter, such as 23-24 UT Albanian on 9855 too (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [non]. 11764.7, May 28 at 0535 check and May 29 at 0105, no signals
from SRDA Curitiba. It`s been off for some weeks, but since I never wanted to
log it when it was on, didn`t note immediately when it vanished from its
way-off frequency. Last log I find of it was April 7 by Carlos Gon?alves,
Portugal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 13840, May 28 at 0535, NHK World Radio Japon in French is S9
here via MADAGASCAR, and running about 7 syllables behind // 11730 which is
slightly stronger on the meter, S9+10; it`s via FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-USB, May 29 at 0122, hard rock, S7 vs noise peaks to S9;
0130 ID as Radio Free, Whatever. *Many* more logs:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,28373.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.4-USB, May 29 at 0134, hard rock at about S9, hard to
tune but sounds ``best`` this far below 6925.0, cuts off at 0137*. A few other
unID logs of it:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,28375.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, May 29 at 0048, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, and I monitor
continuously from 0056, to find it does cut off earlier than expected, 8.5
seconds before 0100! = 0059:51.5*. So the ~6 second/24 hour slippage should
proceed from there for a while.
[non] BTW, as I am setting up for this by tuning USB below 5980.00 in 0.1 kHz
steps on the NRD-545, to get the best pitch to hear it cut off, I find myself
playing ``Taps`` in honor of Memorial Day. It seems the four notes making up
Taps are 100 Hz apart, and it sounds right in tune, as I step up and down
between 5979.8 and 5979.5. Of course this can be done by stepping against any
carrier, preferably JBA or unmodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, May 29 at *0114:13.5, carrier on from SLBC, and pr?lude
starts 0114:46.5, but can`t hear any mis-timesignal a semi-minute later;
skipped, or just too weak? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 13800, May 28 until 0527*, R. Dabanga with good signal via
MADAGASCAR until it cuts off, leaving a trace of Nauen, GERMANY, whence the
final semihour now emanates per HFCC; why change? May well be the same MAD
transmitter which then takes up Japan on 13840, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. Clandestine via WWRB identified: See U S A: WWRB
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1827 monitoring: confirmed Sat May 28 after 2230 on
WBCQ, 9329.9-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed UT Sun May 29 starting at 0323 on
WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, poor in noise level. Next:
Sun 0830 Unique Radio 3210 NSW low-power
Sun 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

** U S A. 15240, Sat May 28 at 1522, start checking for the weekend-only
African service of WWRB which could start as early as 1500, but not really yet.
Next check at 1612 it`s on with African music, good signal and a song
mentioning Uganda, but no announcements, no monolog from Dave, just segu?s to
more songs at 1616, 1627, 1632.5.
I try again at 1656, only to hear the music cutting off and on at the rate of
about twice per second, bad feed. 1658.5 stops to dead air; 1659.2 different
music and WWRB YL canned ID; 1700:18 intro music to mystery Ugandan
clandestine, like heard last week, and 1701 national(?) anthem, Uganda song.
1705.6 starts talking about Uganda in probable Luganda language, never any
English.
At the outset, 1612, I compared 15240 to neighbor 15825 WWCR, and found the
latter much weaker, in fact JBA! Still so at 1700, while WWCR 13845 was fair,
and 12160 very good. Last check at 1817, WWRB has weakened and WWCR has
strengthened, more or less even now. Perhaps due to the vagaries of a wandering
sporadic E patch, and there had been some typically deep fades.
As for its success, I asked Bill Bingham in South Africa if he could hear it,
and checking during the hour after 1800 today, not at all, not even a carrier.
WWRB frequency slightly on lo side but I don`t get around to measuring it;
After last Saturday`s broadcast Wolfgang B?schel commented:
``WWRB on exact 15239.976 kHz at 18-19 UT on May 21. Facts: WWRB Morrison TN,
Tennessee USA, distance TN to Uganda 12,700 kilometers,
very long distance for 100 kW power, but no curtain antennas of 20dB gain
registered yet, only log-periodic antenna there
805 LPH 18/36.5/32.2/16.7/1.4/13.2/200
and rhombic long-range antenna of
902 RH 155/68/40
and bad adjacent channel selection, covered by 500 kW powerhouse from TDF
Issoudun to similar target ERI/ETH Horn of Africa.``
Still no word from Dave about the identity of his Ugandan program despite
repeated requests; nor anything on the WWRB website about it, tho the frequency
has been corrected from 9370 to 15240. Should be another airing on Sunday.
So I do some more searching, starting with the tentative name I copied before,
Monasi --- and fortunately, Google asks, ``did you mean Radio Munansi``? I sure
did! Here`s its website:
http://radiomunansi.com/
>From recent news items, it`s obviously anti-Museveni, and anti-Hima and Tutsi
>clan. Contact address: 7035 Laurel Cyn Blvd # 15333,
North Hollywood, CA 91615 [Cyn = Canyon].
Don`t see anything about SW broadcasts, but they do have podcasts. Here`s
About-Us:
``Radio Munansi is a community radio station that seek to stimulate, educate
and entertain our audience, to reflect the diversity of the local and world
community, and to provide a channel for individuals, groups, issues and music
that have been overlooked, suppressed or under-represented by the current
Ugandan government.
Radio Munansi advocates for peace, social and environmental justice through
independent media and programming neglected by the mainstream. We embrace
diversity, tolerance of others` opinions and freedom of expression. Radio
Munansi celebrates and promotes the creative, cultural and political vitality
of the local community.``
I sent them this on their contact webform:
``I have been hearing your broadcasts via WWRB in Tennessee, two weeks ago on
9370, last week and this week (Sat/Sun) on 15240 kHz shortwave. I`m in Oklahoma
where the signal is good enough, but I wonder if you have had any response from
Uganda yet? I don`t understand your language, of course, but enjoy the music,
and am interested in your mission. Do you ever broadcast any segments in
English? If so I haven`t caught them.
Best wishes

Munansi? Sounds familiar. Yes, it was part of Radio Lead Africa programming, as
in DXLD 16-12:
``UGANDA [non]. Here's a stream of Radio Lead Africa:
http://de.streema.com/radios/play/94039
A reason for not hearing IDs might be that they broadcast material of other
stations. Titles of the musical pieces/programmes are displayed next to the
stream, at the moment: "Dr Kiyingi's Q&A on Radio Munansi, October 20th 2015 -
YouTube". No English heard here. 73 (thorsten hallmann, March 17, dxldyg via DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
Thank you Thorsten for the update! A reminder that Friday (UT), from about 0255
to 0359, Radio Lead Africa will again be on 5910. The good news is that I have
noted this week that Colombia (5910+) now routinely signs off just before 0300,
so RLAM should have QRM-free reception. BTW - Radio Munansi's contact info is
North Hollywood, CA (Ron Howard, California, dxldyg via WORLD OF RADIO 1818,
DXLD)``
We think that R. Lead Africa is no longer on the air, itself, but the South
African site would certainly serve Uganda better than Morrison!
5050, UT Sunday May 29 at 0040, WWRB is on, nominally only weekend evenings
now, lo-fi gospel huxter audio breaking up, on S9+25 signal; 0127 gospel huxter
outro as
http://www.yahwah-ministries.org
in Covington, Georgia, phone 770-784-0703, ``till next week at same time ---
shalom!``. But then at 0130 another --- or same Yahwah show re-starts,
evidently by mistake, as cut at 0131.5 to WWRB YL canned ID, and 0132
``Wonderful Words of Life`` theme for Word of Life broadcast as heard one week
ago..
Yes, it`s YAHWAH, not YAHWEH! -- take that, you EJOMites at WMLK! Above website
confirmed, with nothing about WWRB or any SW broadcasts; seems they have 40
videos available which say it all.
Speaking of WMLK, Richard Langley, NB reported on May 26 in reply to my
previous non-log of them on 9275: ``The last posting on their Facebook page,
dated 3 May, says: "During the high stress testing some of the components
failed! This type of testing will determine the strength, the veracity of all
components being tested." I guess they are now waiting for parts`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15720, Sat May 28, since I`m checking up on 15240 WWRB, I also keep
trying 15720 for WHRI, which has registered this frequency for three days only,
May 27-28-29, 14-20 UT, 250 kW at 315 degrees. This obviously coincides with
the Indy 500 carace on Sunday, but nothing heard today at 1522, 1612, 1700,
1817. Others did report some carace on Friday. WHRI, HQ in South Bend, always
broadcasts these things, and we did catch something earlier this month. As if
they had anything to do with gospel-huxtering. How many racers, assistants, or
spectators in the stands will be killed or maimed this year? What a stupid
``sport``, accomplishing nothing except endangerment by going round and round
in ovals, and not really getting anywhere ASAP.
7385, May 29 at 0029 as I tune across WHRI during a break, they ask for 1 IRC
in order to send out a program schedule. IRCs are being phased out, don`t they
know? Lotsa luck in redeeming any they get (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 11580, May 29 at 0103, tuning across WRMI, I double take as it sounds
like Dead Gene Scott, but whew, not // 6090 where PMS is pontificating. WRMI
sked shows Harvest Time at 0100-0115 UT Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

without bothering to mention his own call! But making many contacts with US
stations. I tuned here after hearing a pileup on 14198-USB, where they don`t
give his call either, just their own! Eventually the DX station does give call
VP2VAZ, and says listening 5-up. Immediately, W4GBB calls him on 14193 and does
so repeatedly, despite some other hams saying ``5 up``. An AC9 doesn`t get the
message either. 0120, a fuller ID as VP2VAZ, on Tortula, BVI, and also gives
QSL manager which I don`t copy. Has a German accent, and even makes some
contacts in German. QRZ.com shows he is Reiner [sic] Lies, and QSL:

which leads to a ham of the same spelling, in 38239 Salzgitter, Germany, who
has also operated all over the Caribbean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. 9680, May 28 at 1400, very poor S2 signal with some music, audible
once the CNR1 jammers go off after their 1400* timesignals, i.e. the only thing
left, Voice of Hope - Africa, on its weekend-only 12-17 UT schedule, presumably
long-path to here. Bill Bingham, South Africa confirms it`s successful today,
and well heard there with no CCCCCCI even before 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17470-AM, May 28 at 1253, JBA carrier, and still at 1417.
Meanwhile, very little has been audible within the 16m band, i.e. at 1253, just
some 17580 Cuba, but not 17730, and WRMI JBA carrier on 17790. No stations
listed on out-of-band 17470 in HFCC, Aoki, or EiBi, but likely a CNR1 jammer
against another new frequency of Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
