** CHINA [non]. 9580, May 27 at 0139, CRI relay via HABana is in Spanish
instead of English! Talk about Colombian author Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez and his
appreciation ``aqu? en China``. Adjacent Albania relay on 9570 remains in CRI
English. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, May 27 at 0152, RHC is in Spanish // 6060 etc., instead of
English whose separate music maintains on 6000. Recheck at 0612, 6165 is now in
English // 6060 and 6000, while 6100 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
See also CHINA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9535, May 27 at 1430, S4-S8 of dead air, obviously RHC. 15230
likewise, May 27 at 1442, dead air or JBM at S9, while 11760 and 13700 are OK.
17730 is also on and VP with music matching 11760. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, May 27 at 0613, VON is off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6972-AM, May 27 at 0111, EZL music at S7-S5, 0120 more like
jazz. The first of four active pirates I find bandscanning downward, and the
weakest. They are out in force for the Memorial Day weekend. 0153, still weak
music after some others have stopped. Also UNIDENTIFIED for this thread
covering 0100-0230, but some getting a much stronger signal are impressed by
the audio quality:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,42903.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, May 27 at 0113, pirate music at S9+5; 0125 SSTV,
0128 off. Suspected Wolverine Radio and so confirmed by numerous logs here
ranging 0022-0125, including captures of the SSTV image:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,42899.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, May 27 at 0114, pirate music, soft jazz at S9+25,
even stronger than 6950. 0119, this one emits SSTV, 0120 plays ``Ride of the
Valkyries`` complete, 0125 segu? to more triumphal classical music; 0127
``Heard it on the Grapevine``. 0130 more SSTV; 0132 music resumes; 0136 SSTV to
0140, seems to go off, but back with more to 0142 and nothing further. Also
unID here but with SSTV captures showing it`s pro-Confederacy:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,42904.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-AM, May 27 at 0131, it`s John IDing for his ``VORW Radio
International``, S5-S8 vs storm crashes, 0132 thanking pirate relay of his show
last week on 6880 (so here it is again), greeting various reception reporters.
Still on with VORW past 0154. It`s The Relay Station, which had been on as
early as 2152 May 26 with other programming, and VORW from 0055:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,42894.0.html
including lots of SSTV images. TRS himself posted here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,42894.msg158380.html#msg158380
[sic, unedited:] ``thanks gentleman !
i hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend !
i did my best to send out confirmation reports based on the time reported in
this forum thread
(https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,42699.0.html) from 5/19 to
everyone i could obtain an email address from, i hope i didnt make any errors
since i did each one individually.
for those of you that did not get the confirmation report for 5/19 and wish to
have one, you can send me an email at [email protected] and i will make
you one.
tonight's shows will be two "Stasi" shows and one VORW show as requested by the
producers who created them, thanks to you !
edit 1: (im not sure how well the SSTV will work through AM due to phase issues
caused by fade but i guess we will see)
edit 2: im currently having some slight power issues, line voltage has been
dropping below 240VAC, down to 200VAC several times and hovering around 210VAC,
seems to be an issue with the 7.2KV supply to the step-down transformer, kind
of annoying watching the power fluctuate all over the place on the ACV-RMS
needle meter.
edit 3: props and hats off to powerhouse Wolverine Radio ;)

** PHILIPPINES. 9275, May 27 at 1325, poor S2-S3 signal in Chinese, first day
for FEBC ex-9380, and weaker than that had been, maybe just daily variation if
on exactly same parameters as would be expected. Lowest 9 MHz frequency ever
for Bocaue? Could be transmitter/antenna not tuning up optimally. 9380 now
returned to AIR Aligarh exclusively, but nothing audible now, despite the
scheduled 1200*-*1305 break being over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 9369.962, Sunday May 27 at 1326, new bigsig steady at S9+10
with African music, modulation slightly distorted, and occasional split-second
dropouts; what in the world? Keeps going past 1400 with no announcements, let
alone any ID. But it`s obviously WWRB reactivated on frequency last used for
Brother Scare, and still registered available 13-24 UT, 100 kW at 45 degrees in
English [sic], for CIRAF 4 and 9, i.e. Canada east of 90 degrees-west. Yeah,
right where there are lots of Ugandans? This replaces 15240- which had not been
heard for a few seeks, i.e. Radio Munansi. We had our doubts 15240 would reach
Uganda, and even more so 9370 over a summer day-path, but it`s great into
Oklahoma! Luganda talk finally starts at 1504. Music again at 1626 check. Note
the offset of 9370- is very close to that of 15240- as previously measured.
Presumably the only WWRB transmitter not demolished, so expect it Sat & Sun
circa 1300-2100? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1931 monitoring: confirmed after 0200 UT
Sunday May 27 on WRMI 7780, S9/S9+10 but only fair vs storm crashes. Also
confirmed UT Sun May 27 at 0346 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, good S9+20, at
Algeria/Antarctica --- oh, oh, that was last week`s #1930, at 1:23 into the
file, not latest 1931. And 1931 did not air earlier, as ARRL was still running
at 0326. Maybe it aired later? Should have checked, as WA0RCR was off last week
for Hamvention, and playing 1931 now may have been a make-up for that. Next:
Sun 1900 WRMI 9395 to NNW
Mon 0130.5 WRMI 5850 to NW, 7780 to NE
Mon 0300v WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0330 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Mon 0400 WRMI webcast only
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030 WRMI 7780 to NE, 5950 to WNW [or #1932?]
Tue 2130 WRMI 7780 to NE, 5950 to WNW [or #1932?]
Full schedule for WOR on all outlets, not just SW; podcast linx:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, UT Sun May 27 at 0553, WTWW-2 is on with a talkshow, something
new. Guest believes there are bases on the moon and aliens have visited earth.
Could it be the Hoagland show revived? No. Host soon says he is on ``5085 and
additional SW frequency tonight, 15815, which is just smoakin` in other
countries, just blasting in``. (Not here! Nothing as you would expect in the
nightmiddle on 19m from Tennessee; a different site, Bulgaria, maybe?).
Guest is named Glen and before ToH break program ID as `Southern Talk at
Midnight` with Dave Lewis(?). 0559 commercial for CVS Pharmacy beauty club!
Then to rambling ham radio ads by Ted until 0603 music; 0606:45 program resumes
with guest Glen S-something who has a bunch of books to push, a longtime author
about aliens around us. Again plugs 15815 & 5085, host address [email protected] so
this show may axually originate at WTWW. And gives phone for call-ins as
615-680-8028, as I tune out and go to sleep.
What`s about this at the WTWW website? NOTHING, of course, just long-outdated
program info at
http://wtww.us/pages/schedule.php
and on the homepage itself, still claiming to use 9930 with Dave Ramsey, etc.,
etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15815, May 27 at 1439, however, *is* an unexpected and unregistered
new frequency! for WTWW as IDed after ``In the Sweet Bye&Bye`` hymn, S9+20 =
sporadic E boost, while neighbor 15825 WWCR is S9+20/30. Nothing in HFCC on
15815, not WTWW, not Bulgaria, not anything. Off at 1627 check and I think
considerably earlier. John Figliozzi, NY was still hearing it at 1540, and Kai
Ludwig, Germany at 1610, weaker than WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 15760, May 27 at 1627, here`s WHRI with special broadcast of the holy
Indianapolis 500, during commercials with zoom SFX. Race was scheduled to start
at *1619, an exercise in futility, round and round and getting nowhere;
meanwhile drivers, crew and spectators risking death or injury, a great
American tradition.
15760 is registered available 14-22 UT, Sat/Sun extended to 24, 250 kW, 315
degrees across the USA toward CIRAFs 2 & 3 = Canada west of 90 degrees. Not
sure, but I don`t think they have been using it much if at all. Yesterday I
searched the WHR website for any info about the anticipated special and found
absolutely nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370-, WWRB reactivated: see UGANDA [non]
UNIDENTIFIED. 9272.7-USB, May 27 at 0144, 2-way in Spanish, stronger one with
noise and music in background (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

I just recently went to log onto the HF Underground site and saw a new , very
lengthy, user agreement posted which I would have to agree to in order to
continue using the site. Has there been problems with this site and how are
they going to track anyone who uses it ? Perhaps I am being a bit paranoid but
the terms seem a little intrusive . It almost sounds like users may be tracked
for enforcement purposes. Anyone with any thoughts on this or what may have
occurred to initiate these new terms ?
