Listening to Radio Voz Missionaria, Camboriu SC BRAZIL this morning, the
announcer happily reported that RVM acquired 3 transmitters ('supposedly from
the old Radio Marumby'), for the frequencies of 49, 31 and 25 m.
Adding that there is an expectation of 5940 kHz returning to the air by the end
of next week.
Also, that with the 'new' 25 m transmitter, the power of the frequency of 11750
kHz will increase from 1 to 10 kW.

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update
Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update.

now non-existent schedule
2) New Zealand - RNZ National & RNZ Pacific: Updated UTC offset
notations for change to DST
3) Scotland - Radio Six: removed UTC offset notation for programme
schedule - times are all given as GMT(UTC)
The next update is scheduled for early May. Best wishes and 73, Alan
Roe
** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, April 5 at 0150 into Brasila SDR, the token
English segment from RNB is back instead of SBG pre?mptions, but it`s
a repeat of the first airing on April 1, part 1 of the interview about
Par?. Note IDs for this as RNB, i.e. via RNA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, April 6 at 0147 into Brasila SDR, only S7/S9,
RNA playing music until 0200, NO RNB English/Spanish and no sports and
no explanation. Is it done for, or just when they get around to it?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, April 6 at 0310, RHC happens to be on the air, S9+30/40
but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC. See also UNIDENTIFIED 12000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9790, April 6 at 0316, S9+30 of English, I think, JBM as the
pointless CRI relay is prolonged. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH. 15180, April 6 at 0313, S9/+10 but noisy, at first
thought maybe Romanian, but it`s stilted Spanish, as to be expected
from VOK as scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6945 AM, April 6 at 0323, JBA carrier, S9+10 = noise
level. Only one other report of this, as unID at 0324:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,143169.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.9 AM, April 6 at 0324, pirate music S9+20.
These say it`s Liquid Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,143162.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, Friday April 4 at 2158 and later, token English from
SNR is *still* absent from its new NAm frequency, but from 2200
audible on 15520 for ME and S8+10 equally sufficient 17715 for S
America. Also detectable on 15390 for Africa. Something`s notright at
Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15389.992, Saturday April 5 at 2225, REE check into Maryland
SDR: S4/S5, quite unusually, best signal on the frequency for Africa!
15500 for NAm STILL AWOL. Something`s never nominal at Noblejas. 15520
for ME only a trace, not sure if it`s something else. 17715.012 for
SAm at S3/S5. No English today, of course. I don`t usually bother with
precise frequencies for REE as they are within 10 Hz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, April 4 at 2158 and various chex both direct and
into UTwente later in the hour, NO signal from VOT English, nor on
possible overrun alternates 9870/9875. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.003+, April 5 at 2216, VOT English not off the air,
S9+15/20 into UTwente, but modulation problems! Undermod and
fluxuating. Same into Maryland SDR, which also has ACI from 11780
Brasil. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 7275, April 6 at 0322, VOT not off the air, but INTRUDING
into American hamband, awry at Ankara; S9+30/40 with Turkish music,
modulation OK now, and VP on 6165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2289 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 4 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 but as usual undermodulated;
also with some splatter from 9930 WTWW.
Missed checking Fri Apr 4 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975; anyone?
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1430 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001+, S8/S9 into UTwente with no CCI or ACI but something much
weaker on 6155, probably CRI Kashgar in Russian.
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1600 on WRN North America stream.
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1730 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000+, S9+10 into UTwente but with ACI from 6165 CRI English,
Beijing site to ME, and Rttyditty circa 6164. Same time on 3975.001,
however, VG clear S9/+10.
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 *ending* at 1931.3 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, S9+18 into nearby SDR, so the 1930v started very early about 1903
UT.
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1930 on WRN North America stream.
Still NOT confirmed Sat Apr 5 at 1930 on WRMI webcast only, despite
still showing on System B schedule; really something else.
Confirmed UT Sunday April 6 at 0344 UT on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20
into nearby SDR until finished at 0353, so started circa 0325. There
was too much storm noise earlier direct for me to detect me. Next:
1030 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast];
1900 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy;

** U S A. 10003, April 4 at 2204, scratchy spur from 9930 WTWW which
hits S9+60; matches the TOMBS modulation peaks on a second receiver,
not the TOMBS mod on 9980 WWCR which is also on but never
synchronized. Like my previous obs on the lower side of 9930, i.e.
plus/minus very roughly 80 kHz; except the high side is more diffuse.
It can also be heard bothering 9955 WRMI, during undermodulated WOR.
10003 also threatens WWV. An hour later George and I discussed these;
he could not hear the spurs, and by now they were weaker for me.
Unfortunately, Ted kept the WTWW spectrum analyzer. 9930 also flanked
by the stable spurcarriers circa 9917 & 9943, not such a problem for
neighbors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Apr 4 at 2350 into NH SDR: 3265,
5130 OFF. 6160 algo VP S6/7, else with dittering QRM. 7489.925,
S9+15/20 with FKB. 9330 only S7/9+15 with music. As usual, 5130-
autocutson at *2355 with IS & ID loop, S9+10, but drops to S7 a few
times, from transmission or reception? At 0000 UT Sat Apr 5, 5130 &
7490- join for WTO theme of `AAAWWW`, not quite yet 9330 but soon
also. Now I`m listening better via Maryland SDR. His first overwords
are ``No matter what, it`s all about the freedom``. 0003 discussing
microphoniums. Then Cold War, Communism, etc., etc. 0031 says from
studio in Fla, 77 degrees, 65% humidity. Apologies for
air-conditioning, which Angela dislikes. 0036 and 0040 playing music.
0045 trimulcasting on 9, 7 and 5; 0052 datestamp but I was distracted
and missed it; think it must have been new and current. 0053 some
email including one politically incorrect (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7780 at 0631 April 5, WRMI-13 is off again vs some noise
circa 7778; and at 0635 check, 5010 WRMI-14 is also off. Apparently a
schedule change, not anomaly, despite no updating to skedgrid showing
both until 1500*. And not a transmitter problem, as both 7780 & 5010
are heard normally earlier in evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9265, April 5 at 0622, WINB is still on with gospel huxter,
more TOMBS? Not // 5850 WRMI. At 0632 it`s ``Walking in Simplicity``
with Bro. Steven. Anomaly or deliberate extension? Yet another station
with a program schedule they don`t keep up to date with what axually
airs! Dated March 9, obviously to account for imposition of DST, yet
still shows a 5- rather than 4-hour difference between ET and UT!
After all these years they can`t cope accurately with time changes.
Anyhow, still shows off the air every night from midnight until 2:04
pm - except Sundays back on already at 6:04 am. And `Walking in
Simplicity` is already on sked Sat at 4:30 pm > presumably 2030 UT
instead of ``2130``. No info about it under Pgminfo. Broad websearch
connects that motto with https://harvestchurch.org.bw/ - yes, in
Botswana but nothing about any broadcasts. WRTH page 595 shows WINB
sales manager is Sally Spyker; guess Hans Johnson, ex-CumbreDX is no
longer with WINB. In 2016 WRTH quick check, he was the sales/frequency
manager. 2025 WRTH shows besides 1 x 50 kW transmitter they have 1 x 15
kW. Were they ever on two frequencies at once, even during DRMing?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5935, 5890, 4840, April 6 at 0320 & 0325, all possible WWCRs
are OFF, probably due to storms, but neighbor in more ways than one,
5920 WTWW is S9+50 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1540 kHz, April 6 at 0334 UT, Spanglish adstring for
numerous events, concerts later in April, May, mentions San Antonio;
and income tax ad at 927-1040 on S. Willow? St., 830 area code for a
strawberry festival, which = Eagle Pass, Del Rio, approaching San
Antonio, so I conclude this be KEDA. Trouble is, a big het on the
minus side, about 1539.95, which is surely KGBC Galveston, but I`m
only hearing one audio. KEDA is U4 5/1 kW, with very unfavorable night
pattern to the WNW, but daypat circa-circular per radio-locator;
while the NRC Pattern Book 2013 shows similar day to night, just
larger (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7200 LSB, April 5 at 0624, song S9, apparently from a
recording, then naughty ham attempting to sing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, April 6 at 0310, algo S5/S7 with flutter, JBM?
Suspect it`s 2 x 6000 RHC which happens to be on now JBM and is a
known harmonicizer; however, Aoki & EiBi show there happens to be one
real 12000 station this hour only, CRI English via Kasghar = Kashi-Saiba, East
Turkistan to S Asia; standard denunciation (Glenn Hauser,?OK, WOR)
