LW 234 and MW 549 kHz feeder/antenna gear scrapped in past 30 years now:
MOLDOVA Today April the 6th, Trans World Radio (prgrs in Ukrainian
language, Russian, Roma / Gipsy & Belarussian) was not on the air, re-
placed by prgr in Russian of Radio Rossii or as they say "Radio Rassii" on
MW 999 KHz at 1730-1935 UT. The prgrs in Roma, Hungarian, Romanian etc at
1830-2130 on 1548 kHz are still on the air.
Vesti Radio on 1413 kHz is with reduced power (earlier with 1000 kW).
BTW 10-20 years ago, Radio Rossii was named as "Radio of Yelzin" and
now Vesti as "Radio of Putin".
MOLDOVA/RUSSIA/UKRAINE For many years TWR in Ukrainian, Russian, Roma /
Gipsy & Belorusian was on the air on MW 999 KHz via Radioteletsentr (PRTC)
transmitter Grigoriopol Maiac site [Pridnestrovie break away], replaces
TWR with Radio Rossii and from yesterday [April 5] their bc time 1730-1935
UT was replaced by progr of Radio Rossii(Rassii) in Russian.
On April the 5th, four transmitters of Ukrainian Radio were on the air on
MW 657, 873, 1278 & 1404 kHz.
(Rumen Pankov-BUL, direct and via wor hcdx April 6)
MOLDOVA April 10, 2022. PMR frequencies: 999 kHz is definitely strongest
here, no more trace of Rai IT which used to be present here before. also
stronger than TWR has been in the past! probably 1000 kW for this?!
1413 kHz comes next, strong and clear most of the time but gets swamped
out by 500 watts UK station at certain point, presumed 500 kW from a di-
rectional system twrds east.
621 kHz only on air during the early morning hours with vy. weak and vy.
directional signal.
Checked the whole evening and no trace of TWR here. only Spain (10 kW)
heard! "TWR Ukrainian & Russian & Belarusian 1730-1935 UT? listed for 621
kHz but no single sign of this today. Forgot to check 1548 today but I'll
do tomorrow. Just a reminder: 621 kHz is only active on weekdays (Mon-Fri)
with the "Radio 1plus" oldie music in russian language, never heard on Sat
or Sun. Guess this is the old x-mitter.

621 kHz does not carry any signal at all !
[621 kHz is NOT on air Sat/Sun / Ed]
999 kHz is by far the strongest signal. 1413 and 1548 kHz might originate

"Radio 1+" / "Radio PMR" - April 11, 2022
I did run a check this (very early) morning.
04:39 CEST / 02:39 UTC - 4x test tone on MW 621 kHz.
04:55 CEST / 02:55 UTC - start of the program
05:12 CEST / 03:12 UTC - clear jingle ID heard "Radio 1 Plus"
05:30 CEST / 03:30 UTC - another jingle aired "Radio 1 Plus"
The signal was there at least until 06:20 CEST, then slowly fading out.
No trace of TWR. Much weaker then it used to be 3 years ago.
The start up procedure is always the same:

===========================
999 kHz. Retransmission of Radio Russii.
-
WRTH gives information about 500 kW at 999 kHz, also at 1413 kHz.
In my evenings, signals pass with the same level at both frequencies.
I think a twofold difference in power would be more noticeable.
(Dmitriy N.P. - "Radio reception" / Telegram)

On the radio scanner, the participant Griffon (he works at the r / center,
as I understand it) says about 1000 kW at 999 kHz.

It seems that TWR is on 621:
https://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=1&kHz=621
Rather interesting is that the maps link points to the directional antenna
(maybe the type ????). The link from 1548 also points there.Does anybody
know which is being used?

I have recorded 621 kHz [PMR] from 2 until 9 AM last two nights to monitor
just in case there would be changes, Radio 1 Plus was audible with old
soviet schlager music and clear ID in the early morning. Very low audio and
short digital drop outs. however, NO trace of TWRs program on this frequency
before or after. Not even the very destinctive interval signal was heard
there.
Obviously using VERY directional antenna pattern towards East ? or they were
just not on. Power of 621 is quite less then 1413/999. And feeder signal of
Radio 1 Plus certainly via webstream.
Robert, Germany (2022-04-08)

According to the post from Robert, it seems that 621 comes from the
directional MW antenna (????).
Does 1548 also come from that?
If it is a directional signal, it might come from the 4 mast ARRT array
(???????). These are quite interesting. 47.283198611248174,
29.4288938649112
Look at the feeder lines, they go further than the antenna. I don?t know the
reason for that yet. Radioens reports that Vesti FM (????? ??) 1413 kHz uses
this 4 mast ARRT directional antenna. mwlist points to an non-directional
mast without a ARRT cage antenna.

The frequency 621 KHz was the suggestion of Grigoriopol to exchange/replace
999, but now at 18.15 h UTC on 621 are usual Arab/Iran and not TWR. TWR on
999 used 500 KW, but now 1413 is 1000 and 999 with just 500 KW, so for TWR
is only 150 KW used by Radio 1 from Tiraspol will be ?

There are rumors that 999 from Grigoriopol uses 1 Megawatt.

License for Vesti FM and Radio Rossii. There are rumors that both stations
do not have a license:
https://vcfm.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1416&p=157700#p157700
I don?t know about the laws n Russia nor Moldavia according to that.
But I remember that I read that people wrote letters to Vesti FM and they
wondered about that because it was unofficial that they use 1413 and didn?t
announce that.

621 TWR was informed that their broadcast will be 1 h later, from 18.30 h

to the info from TWR they go on short waves.

This is a open post for discussion. I wait your responses !
Ham radio day is today and the newscaster in a nationwide radio station
rememberedthose older days on 80s when many people ?.used their mini
transmitter to broadcastmusic in medium waves!
The most known example was the station from Polytechnics in Athens that helped
forthe resistance against the Junta
Just to remind you that today there are more than 500 unofficial radiooperators
in MW
I have listened to their program and immediately sent them a message to
clarify?that this is not a ham radio station butonly unofficial radio
transmissions in medium waves enjoying to play music and .This clearly
separates between these legal ham operators ?who transmit in specified bands in
shortwavesand higher bands as like ole times using the BC or walkie talkie
The journalist by the way apologized for this mistake, something that she
didn?tknow
My question:
What happens in your area? Do the journalists know what is the purpose of a
radioham? ?

She is surely wrong. I sent her a message toshow the ham/radiocaster difference

remembered those older days on 70s-80s the time?. the medium wave band was
filled with numerous home built unofficial radiostations airing music!
She is surely wrong. I sent her a message toshow the ham/radiocaster difference
. She apologized saying she didnt know thedifference
?
My question:
Do you know the difference between a music radio caster and ham radio?
What happens in your city? Did any radio station in your area mentioned
thisinternational day ? Did they know the purpose of amateur radio?
Replies strongly appreciated

** BRAZIL. 15189.895 approx., April 18 at 2330, S1/S3 in Brazuguese,
so R. Inconfid?ncia, Belo Horizonte, the only ZY left on 19m. For a
long time it had been on the plus side of 15190, but others have also
been reporting it on the minus lately. Seems quite low-powered, but
better chance here than on 6010 if on air at all (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CHILE. 28490 USB, April 17 at 2133, CE7VP, Javier on Chilo? island
in Patagonia, working US stations and then CO5AT Cuba. 10m is hardly
wide open but this guy really gets out; heard him before with details.
Only other signal now is algo on 28435 USB. And as usual, not a trace
of any CW beacons in the 28150-28350 range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 15760, April 18 at 0244, S5/S7 Chinese with heavy flutter:
Aoki lists nothing here but CNR1 jamming and Sound of Hope (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 13530, April 18 at 1425, Chinese S7/S9 vs CODAR; JBA
carriers also on 13130, 13020, all well-established Sound of Hope and
consequently CNR1 jammer frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, April 18 at 0222, no signal in English from this RHC,
leaving only 6165 for that, S9+10/40 somewhat undermodulated.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. At 0605, RHC English only on 6165 and
6060; 5040 in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5055, April 18 at 0224, JBA carrier, no doubt the 5025/5040
leapfrog mixing product another 15 kHz beyond; but no reverse leap
upon 5010, where weakish WRMI is heard alone. 5055 at 0607 April 18
bears some JBA music. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11860, April 18 at 0622, wall-of-noise S6/S7 jamming against
nothing while 11930 is ditto at S7/S8. Radio Mart? frequencies NEVER
in use at night: the incompetent DCJC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9640, April 18 at 2336, RHC music somewhat undermodulated
and distorted compared to // 11760 and weaker // 9535. Used before but
a new? frequency now for the transmitter which used to be on 9710
until switch to 9650 at 0000. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 9490.053V, April 18 at 0230, Radio Rep?blica ID, via
RMI via FRANCE is S9+20 and slightly wavering making measurement a
chore, but here at one instant; as usual, this defective transmitter
dedicated to it. But is well over jamming if any (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** EGYPT. Correxion: Brazilian time in this corrected, not 2215-2230:
9899.951, April 16 at 2227, R. Cairo suptorted music, S9+30
into UTwente; at 2236 can recognize talk in Portuguese distorted, so
now ``9900`` is the 2215-2330 Brazilian service instead of English at
2115-2245 which is now scheduled and sometimes heard on 9440, but
nothing there now. That would require two transmitters at once;
possible? So I keep checking for subsequent emissions: (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** ERITREA. 7140, April 18 at 0257, steady JBA carrier no doubt VOBME
INTRUDING in the ham band; but not the other VOBME 7180, nor Ethiopia
7110, yet? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 11995, April 18 at 0625 African language S5/S7, 0628-0630*
song. It`s RFI in Hausa at 0600-0630 & 0700-0730 daily (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** TAJIKISTAN. 15515, April 18 at 0245, preacher in English, S7/S9
with heavy flutter. Aoki shows it`s AWR via Orzu at 0200-0300 daily.
Should include Wavescan but not known to do so. Nice of the Tajix who
are 90% Moslem to accommodate Protestants; allegedly religious freedom
exists now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K [non]. I`m not a big Doctor Who fan, so can`t get roped into
rerun marathons, whether seen already or not, but seeking adventure,
would not mind watching a totally new episode on BBC America, like
April 17 first at 1810 UT and an `extended` replay April 18 at 0000,
`Legend of the Sea Devils`. Extensions were a few minutes of
behind-the-scenes actor interviews, totally breaking characters.
But I have the same old complaints about how BBC/Am handle it ---
quite apart from the original produxion values, SFX, and the story:
1) Commercial breaks are extremely abrupt, annoying: cut to and cut
from, no fade to black, nothing to bump. Perhaps the original on BBC
plays uninterrupted, and no thought has been given into natural
act/scene breaks, but that`s no excuse.
2) Various British accents and general mumbleness of some of the
actors: try as I must, cannot always understand every word; even with
stereo headphones and nothing to distract. Recommended however for
full impact of the music and ambiance.
3) Therefore, closed captions are required, which means I can`t watch
it with someone else who finds them obtrusive.
4) But the CC flash on and off far too rapidly, quite apart from the
original rate of speech. Even the two-liners get only a second or
split second on screen, not always enough time for me, anyway, to read
them! Of course they have to keep up with the dialog, but instead of
leaving one caption on until the next one, there is always an
unnecessary pause between them when one might have been
reading/absorbing each in full. The CC are of course from script
synched with the original, not applied on-the-fly live later, so there
is NO excuse for this.
5) Somehow there is not much gore to be seen, but it wouldn`t be DW
without extreme violence. It`s in the genes.
6) The Dr`s roots are showing: even in this fantastical universe,
obviously fake blonding is a thing.
7) There are no closing credits, as exhibited here. Tough luck, crew.
Only major opening credits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 17 from 2001 UT on IRRS via AM Italia: unlike Friday, today both
918 and 1323 are running //. Into nearby Noale SDR, 918 is much
better, S9+15 sometimes cutting to S9+8, experimenting? While 1323 is
only S9 and much noisier. They were // with rock music earlier tuning
in at 1955.
Also confirmed Sun Apr 17 at 2243 the 2230 on WRMI-8 5950, S8/S9 into
Knoxville SDR. Yes, still appearing tho deleted weeks ago from the
System L sked grid for ``Harlene Summers``, ever pending? Fine with
me.
Also confirmed UT Monday April 18 at 0030 on WRMI-13 7780, S8/S9+5
into Knoxville SDR with some storm crashes.
Also confirmed UT Monday April 18 from 0302 on Area 51 via WBCQ,
6159.949, S9/+10 into Knoxville with ACI de 6165 Cuba. W8BUG SDR think
WWV 5000 is +22 Hz off! So must subtract 22 from where it thinx WBCQ
be, minus 29/30 Hz already. Johnny Lightning had ``Gotta Go`` at 0300
so after a long pause, WOR started 2 minutes late. But I caught the
end of me before 0331 so was complete. By 0333 I was hearing Morse
code, apparently not HRI: see separate report. I suspect HRI does not
do a new show every week, so subject to pre-emptions?
WOR 2134 also confirmed UT Tuesday April 19 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 &
9455 both S9+30 into Missouri SDR, and synchronized virtually
identical, except modulation on 9455 has a bit more bass. Next:
2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW

** U S A. 5950, eQSL received from TRSW for Howdy Neighbor Oklahoma,
UT April 17 at 0000-0100 via WRMI:
https://www.w4uvh.net/TRSW_HowdyNeighbor_Oklahoma_eQSL_WRMI_Hauser.pdf
Or #133 via http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html
The reply came from Terry Colgan who has been handling TRSW publicity,
and is now openly producer of these shows. He also says:
``The announcers you hear are real people, not synths. We recruited
friends to read scripts for a couple of programs each, so you?ll
listen to different voices in the following months. Salli announced
the Oklahoma program and does next week?s salute to New Mexico.
Elizabeth, Sara, and Michelle will be heard during May. We have two
guys announcing soon, Guy and Eric. By Summer?s end, we?ll select a
permanent male and female announcer. Tune in anytime you want to hear
music by Texas artists and about the state. Our program schedule?s
attached. Regards and 73. tc Terry Colgan, Producer. Texas Radio
Shortwave, http://www.facebook.com/texasradiosw
It?s the ONLY place to be!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15770, April 17 at 2140, classical music on WRMI-9, still
too much of a rarity. I bet it`s R. Prague Int`le in French, which
features such a Sunday concert: yes, exactly per System H WRMI
skedgrid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4980, April 18 at 0226, WRMI-4 is AWOL again which happens
quite a bit; but April 19 at 0050 it`s back with TOMBS cult. Also off
and on, the 4975 JBA parasitic spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4790, April 18 at 0227, Bach Brandenburg Concerto as a
string of them featured on this week`s Radio Angela `Concert Hall` on
WBCQ; S9+10 with lite CODAR QRM, but the high storm noise level
prevents any enjoyment.
Say, why not escape it up to the 11 or 13 MHz band? WBCQ is anything
but frequency-agile. One transmitter must stay on one frequency unless
there be a permanent change, not undertaken lightly, I guess requiring
grinding a new crystal and other laborious adjustments (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 6159.949, UT Mon April 18 at 0333, following WORLD OF RADIO
q.v. on Area 51 via WBCQ, some Morse code, not Hobart Radio
International as usually, despite being on the A51 program sked for
this date. I keep listening and switch to the A51 webcast to hear, on
and on, some `radio art` produxions from a wide variety of sources,
`Short Wave - Long Distance`. Evidently this was a project involving
Wave Farm, Winter SWL Fest, NASWA, David Goren. I found this about it
on the agenda for the 2022 fest, UT Saturday March 5:
``0400-0600 The best of ?Short Waves/Long Distance? 2022
Huzzah! It?s the return of Short Waves/Long Distance, a world wide
open call for compositions using shortwave sounds. SW/LD is sponsored
by NASWA, Wave Farm and Montez Press Radio to celebrate the 35th
Winter SWL Fest and Wave Farm?s 25th anniversary. <wavefarm.org>
??``
An ID mentioned 7570 WRMI, where this apparently was originally
broadcast. Meanwhile, a quick check of 6160- sometime after 0400 found
it had defaulted to the TOMBS cult, so SW/LD was webcast only. I
listened to the whole thing until 0530 back to A51 fill music. Too bad
there was no advance publicity about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9940, April 18 at 0236, S9+30 of dead air, must be WTWW-3
which is mainly active before sunset nominally for Ukraine; Tedson
forgot to turn it off? Guess what: for once TWO OTHER WTWWs are also
on air now, 5085 & 5830, so it is possible to run three at once:
unless I have been fooled by some other carrier on 9940 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7890, April 18 at 0620, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu 3945 x
2; while 11835 = 3945 x 3 is S7/S9 in conversation. 0632 somehow calls
itself ``Voice of Papua New Guinea`` and I think some other nearby
countries. Next song: ``Leavin` on a Jet plane`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12004.50 LSB, April 18 at 0239, 2-way contact in
Spanish, or rather a multi-way net, INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17925.3 USB, April 17 at 2137, one side of a Spanish
contact, as if an ham; background noise surges in vox pauses. This is
supposed to be an aeronautical band. First time in many months I have
heard *anything* on it as I frequently cross it between the BC band
below and the real ham band above. Could be drug smuggler with
aircraft engine noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
