LUXEMBOURG 6139.985 kHz odd fqy. A religious symphonic music station
program heard on Saturday May 17 at 11.39 UT, like via various Perseus
SDRs in Central EUR, as remotedly via Kiwi amateur SDR units, for example
near Flensburg northern Germany on Danish border S=8 or -77dBm via

re: Radio Onda, is testing from Junglinster, Luxembourg. On 6140 kHz,

6140 kHz Radio Gloria. Hello, now 1830 UT Friday May 16 on 6140 kHz, I can
heard the swiss Catholic station "RADIO GLORIA", in German. Very nice
signal here in the south of France, but anyone know where is the trans-
mitter ?

Re: 6139.985 kHz - Radio Gloria.
Could it be the same as Radio Onda, that is {RTL} Junglinster site in
Luxembourg?
(Michael Andersson; BrDXC-UK groups io news May 16)
LUXEMBOURG Radio Onda testing on SW 6140 kHz via
RTL) Junglinster Luxembourg bcast center.
Radio Magazine is reporting that Radio Onda has started tests on 6140 kHz
via Luxembourg. (nothing heard when checked here at 1800 UT - Dave Kenny)
Translated from French: LUXEMBOURG: It's the return of the short waves to
the historic transmitter centre of {rtl} Junglinster. The transmitter of
the Belgian station Radio Onda has just been put into service at 6140 kHz
and is doing its first tests with a power of 1000Watt. A great success for
the station of the Brazilian community in Belgium that will be able to
cover Europe, in addition to its broadcast on the dab+ 12b of the Brussels
region.
The association has always wanted to broadcast in short air from Belgium.
Having received no follow-up to their applications for a Belgian licence,
they had turned to the Netherlands in recent years.
A licence had been granted to them immediately by the Dutch authorities,
but the broadcasting from that country has, over the years, been too heavy
for the station. Eventually, they turned to Luxembourg, where the minister
delegated to the Prime Minister, in charge of Media and Connectivity,
Elisabeth Margue, quickly granted them a licence.
The installation was made possible thanks to the amateur radios of Broad-
casting Center Europe, which are installed at the same site.
Radio Onda programs are sent from studios that are installed in a Belgian
railway
station located in the Brussels district of Laeken.
Radio Onda, Bockstael Station, Avenue Emile Bockstael, 1020 Brussels,
Belgium.

Hello Eike,
checked the present A25 schedule today during few hours,
all RRI Tiganesti frqys are remain again as in PDF file. Also DRM digital mode
performings.

Subject: Romania changes frequencies
Radio Romania has changed many of its frequencies again. According to their
website, this is because of a malfunction at the Tiganesti site:
"A malfunction has been recorded at one of the transmitters in Tiganesti, and
we will temporarily be broadcasting on different frequencies." (dated 4 May
2025) The German section adds that the replacement transmitter is not capable
of transmitting in DRM mode, while the Spanish section identifies the
malfunctioning transmitter as BD 300-2 and the replacement transmitter as BD
300-1.
The new frequencies had been registered with HFCC from the beginning of the
A-25 season but had been unused so far. The same had happened for parts of the
previous season.

** BRAZIL. 9818.54, May 17 at 0552, JBA carrier, no doubt R. Nove de
Julho, which rarely achieves any audible modulation direct to here and
may have been missing for a while. Varies slightly always considerably
to minus side of nominal 9820 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 15400, Sat May 17 at 0557, M&W alternating unknown
language, S7/S9 direct, the SSOB and would be the OSOB were it not for
slightly weaker 15770 WRMI. 0559 I hear BBC mentioned more than once
as part of web address, and off*. Yes, it`s KNK languages which means
Kirundi / Kinyarwanda, Saturday from 0530, Sunday from 0500, via
Talata. I always wonder exactly how such broadcasts are handled:
languages certainly related but applying to opposite genocidal
ethnicities: yet strictly separated by time segments, or mixed? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, May 17 at 2200-2202+, NO signal from VOT English
into UTwente, nor accidentalternate 9875. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4758.5, May 17 at 0603 as I am bandscanning a CODAR ID fires
twice, too fast to copy, but starts with WR-, then resumes swirshing.
As in my previous log of *2023y*: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 4741.5, Oct 9 at
0643, as I happen to be here during a routine bandscan, CODAR ID fires
two times, starting with WR, probably WRPW597 as reported extensively
last Feb 10/11, from the MS/AL/FL Gulf coast, so still every
icosaminute at :03, :23, :43. I think the IDs are not ordinary CW, but
just as wideband as CODAR itself, which paused during IDs`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2295 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday May 17 at 0300 on WTWW 5085. The switchover from Ancient
Word? Radio programming to me is never quite exact; we heard this
smooth transition: ``You are listening to the ministry of Glenn Hauser
with World of Radio 2295...`` Hmmm, yes, I`m a ministry! S9+10 into NH
SDR I happen to have running, where there are some storm crashes. At
0329 music fill until 0333.8* chopoff with no announcements. Tnx,
George, for getting us on the WTWW air again.
Also confirmed Saturday May 17 at 1431 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001,
S8/S9 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Saturday May 17 at 1600 on WRN North America stream.

6160.001+, S9/+10 into UTwente; and 3975.001, S8/S9.
Also confirmed Saturday May 17 after 1930 on WRN North America

UNIDENTIFIED. 4849.94, May 17 at 0607, that JBA carrier again,
suspected to be Europirate, but have my doubts as it`s past sunrise
all over Europe, 0341 UT in Amsterdam, even 0522 UT in Lisboa. Have
seen no current reports of it from Europe. But searching HFUnderground
on 4850 gets plenty hits; a few more recent ones from this year under
the European Pirates and Private Stations category, but in evenings:
