Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 28442 USB, April 14 at 2220, VK2CR calling
CQ10. QRZ.com: ``VK2CR Australia flag Australia, Peter Richard Thomas,
Sydney, Australia, QSL: SORRY I DONT QSL`` - wow, what a rare
admission. Also had a ZL? Ross on 28496 USB at 2223. This is a good
time of day for 10m DX from both sides of Pacific, see also CHILE;
sometimes also Japan. Not much on the beacon sub-band except Belize,
and most of North America is too close for F2 skip (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** BRAZIL. 4985, April 14 at 0515, JBA carrier, implying RBC back on
air; a stronger signal on 11815, S9+10, maybe in Portuguese. But 11815
at this time could also be Vatican, Taiwan or ChiCom jamming. Around
0600 checked Brasil remote but nothing on 4985. Also at 1925 into
Goi?nia SDR, nothing on 4985 or 11815. Check further, anyway. As of
Apr 11, Rudolf Grimm reported no 4985 and on Apr 14 no 11815 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHILE. 28470 USB, April 14 at 2222, CA3PHX calling CQ10, CQDX. Have
logged before. QRZ.com with lots of equipment photos: ``CA3PHX Chile
flag Chile, Mauricio "Mauro" Pacheco, La Florida, Santiago
+56984082037, Chile`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ISLE OF MAN. 1368 kHz: see UNIDENTIFIED
** MARTINIQUE. 4811.8, April 14 at 0514, S9+10 open carrier, presumed
FUF, as in yesterday`s report. What became of the STANAG 4285 noise?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6959.3 AM, Apr 14 at 0519, pirate music S9/+10.
``The Cosmonaut System``, per these exact same reports until 0550*:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,143514.0.html
ending with this from station himself: ``EM transducer test sequence:
Successful. All analog during this TX. Full Orbital Equilibrium reached.
Greetings from Orbit, Earthbound. beep... beep...beep... Logged. This
is The Cosmonaut System, Relay node for the galaxy-wide Information
Constellation. Doppler corrected for Earthbound reception`` (Glenn?Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, Apr 14 at 0520, Josiah intonations JBA at
S9+10/20, anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 9500, Apr 14 at 0525, S9+10/20 in French, off at 0528
recheck. It`s RRI at 0500-0527. CNR1 and Algeria could also be on 9500
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. JBA MW carriers, Apr 14 at 0509-0523 UT, almost all lead to
R5, Spain! See UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500 S9+30, 15520 S9+10/20, 15390 S7/9+10, 17715 S9+30, Mon
Apr 14 at 2200, token English from SNR on all four transmitters. The
15s are SSOB direct, vs 15770 WRMI only S9+10, and hardly anything
else from Europe. Preview topic about Don Quixote inspiring an
American writer about society, civilisation about to collapse. News
leads with American Treasury Secretary visit; NYC helicopter company
shutting down after disaster killing Spaniard visitors; Mario Vargas
Llosa died; Easter/holy week is underway. 2206 report from Beirut
correspondent about Apr 13 being the 50th anniversary of start of
Lebanon civil war, PLO vs Phalangists, 150K killed. 2210 interview
with American author of `Don Bigote`, inspired by Cervantes` `Don
Quixote de la Mancha`. Bigote = moustache (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9875.018+, Sun Apr 13 at 2049, VOT S9+20/25 off the back
into UTwente, `Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`, music; 2101
``always-by-your-side`` promo, 2106 finally `Letterbox` starts. 1)
Francis, Ireland wants QSL, also sent two more reports to German dept.
2) Anatoly Klepov, Moscow. 3) phone call from Ricky Hein, South Dakota
reporting 7275 and 11785 with very poor reception on both. 4) Jayanta
Chakroborty, India, gets 7275 better than 6165, reverse of aiming. 5)
last: Siddartha Para--??, question about theatres in T. `Twelve Angry
Men` based on the American novel about a jury, is currently a big hit.
Is World Theatre Day March 27 celebrated in Turkey? Yes. 2116 closing
with A25 QSY reminder, no details, contact info, 2117 closing song
within L`box. There are a handful of `regular` listeners called over &
over in L`box. Now I don`t have to get it a sesquihour later on
11785.004+, but quick check confirms it`s not off the air today,
S9+45/50 into UTwente at 2211; 2255 recheck IS, 2256 pause, restart
IS, and German IDs. 2300 5+1 timesignal, s/on extraneous German.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler; but off by next check 2305
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9770, Apr 14 at 0526, ME music, S9+20/30, the SSOB except
for WBCQ 9330. Change to another tune 0529 past 0530. It`s VOT Turkish
at 0400-0555, 310 degrees from Emirler for W Europe, and here we are
directly beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 14 at 2159 no signal direct from VOT English,
nor on 9875; nor on spot chex later in hour, but did not get around to
trying UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2290 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 13 at 2000 on WRN Europe stream.
Missed checking Sun Apr 13 at 2130 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975;
anyone?
Confirmed Sunday April 13 at 2330 on unlisted WRMI 9455, S9+35/40 into
Georgia SDR // much weaker S7/S9 7780 - and again NOT on the listed
7570 which is again in TOMBS. 9455, like 5850, is aimed due NW 315
degrees, so VG here and should be in much of N America. However OTH
radar is JBA underneath, and ranges about 9450-9470,
Also confirmed UT Monday April 14 at 0039 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S9/+10 into Georgia SDR, and not on any other WRMIs.
Also confirmed UT Monday April 14 from 0259 on Area 51 webcast, while
WBCQ 5130- switches to music postlude to JL after a word or two from
me opening.
Also confirmed Monday April 14 at 1930 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.002-, S9+5/15 into UTwente with RTTYditty ACI de 6164, evitable
by narrowing BW below 8 kHz; also slight intermittent CCI under,
2-way. This time 6160 is running a couple words behind 3975; separate
playouts? Or SDR delays.
Also confirmed Monday April 14 at 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002,
S9+10/15, no QRM. Next:
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast];
1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast];
1830 UT Tuesday IRRS 7290 [? at least April 8];
2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy;
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.
Financial support appreciated for our non-commercial public
service program: thanks for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at
yahoo.com from Dr Richard Langley, Fredricton NB.
One may also contribute by MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn
Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15555 USB, Apr 14 at 1521, WJHR with gospel huxter, what
else?, peaking S8, the SSOB! Quite an achievement for this
underpowered station in FL. Operates daytime only; for several days
never hit it on random bandscans, was off? Maybe sporadic-E
enhancement now; 15770 WRMI manages only S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 9960, Apr 14 at 0527, JBA carrier already from R Vanuatu
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. It`s been months since I have logged a bunch of JBA
trans-Atlantic MW carriers - mainly due to my horrible local line
noise level in Enid. But occasionally I do still perform a 9/kHz
bandscan after local sunset, before or near European sunrise, such as
on April 14, and was pleased to detect them into the R75, both on the
internal N/S shortwire and the E/W loop. Method is tuning 9 kHz steps,
in USB, 1 kHz below the channels, producing JBA 1 kHz hets where there
be any signal at all. Reference is:
https://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php
1503 kHz, April 14 at 0509 UT, first one noticed, and not a major one
heard before, either. Besides 1 kW in Trieste and 25 kW in Egypt, too
late for that, the ONLY ones left are a 10 kW and a 5 kW RNE Radio 5
Todo Noticias in Andaluc?a and Galicia!
1413, April 14 at 0510: likely too late for the hugies, 500 kW in
Moldova, 800 kW in Oman, Besides tiny UKs from 10 to 500 watts, more
RNE Radio 5s, of 25, 12 and 10 kW in Galicia, Catalu?a, Andaluc?a..
1368, April 14 at 0511, never mind Iran, Egypt, Seychelles, leaving
Manx Radio Gold, 20 kW in UK from *0445. No Spains listed.
1305, April 14 at 0512, once again, RNE Radio 5, four stations of 25,
10, 10 and 10 kW in Galicia, Pa?s Vasco, Castilla-La Mancha; rather
than 50 kW in Iran, 10 kW in Egypt, low-powers in UK, Greece.
1125, April 14 at 0523, NOTHING listed except RNE Radio 5, with 12,
10, 10, 10, 10 kW in Castilla y Le?n, Extremadura, Valencia,
Castilla-La Mancha, Pa?s Vasco.
1107, April 14 at 0513, again & again, RNE Radio 5, of 25, 24, 20, 10
and 10 kW in La Rioja, Extremadura, Cantabria, Ponferrada, Arag?n,
rather than lowpowers in UK, Greece, Italy.
1098, April 14 at 0522, never mind 200 kW in Iran, 100 kW in Sa`udi,
low powers in Italy, Holland, leaving only: More RNE Radio 5s, of 25,
25, 10, 10 kW in Andaluc?a, Galicia, Castilla y Le?n, Andaluc?a.
I suspect there were some sunrise-skip enhancement as today`s SR in
Lugo, Galicia, NW corner of Spain, was 0550 UT. Of the multi-sites
applying on each frequency, I bet I was mainly hearing those in the
NW, lucking into a sweet spot. I also checked low end of the band, but
nothing on frequencies like 684, 774, 855 which used to be easier,
with higher-powered synchros. Suspect many of them have been
downgraded or even terminated. Of course high-enders would propagate
longer than low-enders. Also happened to be very little spring storm
noise in North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
