** ALBANIA [non]. 7730, Sun Apr 17 at 0608, WRMI S9+10 with travelog of Albania, S9+10, so R.

I wanted to email them about this: ``Me gusta escuchar sus emisiones en 15476 los miércoles y/o sábados, a través de receptores remotos en el Brasil; pero a pesar de sintonizar dos veces per semana en abril, no se escucha nada después de marzo. Favor de explicar qué pasa; si van a reanudar emisiones pronto? Gracias, Guillermo Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oclajoma, EUA`` But all 3 email addresses in WRTH 2022 bounced. Does anyone have a working address? Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, replies on the WOR iog: Hi Glenn, please, have you tried this one?: esperanzalra36@radionacional.gov.ar but even if it doesn't bounce I think they don't answer. Last year's whatsapp number is also inactive. I believe that until the programs of the new season begin, they will not respond. Uff, perhaps they will start when this season is over. Best 73,s`` OK, I try that one too --- no bounce but no reply either by a few hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ARGENTINA. 28477 USB, April 19 at 2126, 10m seems dead but I scan anyway and find a couple LUs, this one LU2MCX, calling for ``up 5`` and another contact on 28482 USB with WB6D. 28470 USB, April 1 9 at 2129, LU9ES in Bs As contacting N5ZU, and more quick QSOs.

Mi primera señal distintiva era LU2MCX. Comencé con el final de la época de las válvulas y la amplitud modulada (AM). Construí mi primer transmisor con una válvula 807 en la salida (50W), modulada en placa con un push-pull de 2 6L6. Estuve años en actividad, pero la vida y la profesión me fueron alejando poco poco. Perdí mi licencia y estuve más de 40 años QRT. En el año 2018, me entusiasmé con la idea de recuperar mi licencia, lo que ocurrió a finales de de ese año. En la actualidad estoy comunicando con la licencia original y tan entusiasmado como cuando tenía 15 años. Soy Ingeniero en electrónica y electricidad, fui docente durante 40 años y trabajé en obras eléctricas, tuve una fábrica de balanzas electrónicas, diseñé sistemas con microcontroladores (controles de apertura, dosificadores, alarmas, etc.). También incursioné en el audio fabricando amplificadores, mezcladoras y cajas acústicas. Ahora estoy alejado de las actividades lucrativas, pero NO de la profesión.

Rather it`s the first letter after the number which denotes a distinct province or area. There should be a map of this somewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRALIA. 11825, April 19 at 1525, Burmese song S7/S9, the Myanmar service of RBA at 1500-1530. Today the signal is about equal to 11620, VOMKorea to Maldives from secret site; not that that prove anything, elsewhen much weaker than that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9666.896V, April 20 at 0632, standout signal from RVM even tho only S8/S9, with .br website and 3:32 timecheck, back to music, which sounds more secular than sacred without understanding any lyrix. Will it ever reach 9667.000? Some still log this as if on nominal 9665! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 15189.895 approx., April 18 at 2330, S1/S3 in Brazuguese, so R. Inconfidência, 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) ** CHAD [non]. 12050, April 19 at 0620, S9/S7 with heavy flutter, French and music: R. Ndarason Internationale via Woofferton UK at 0600-0700; also despite WEWN at 1900-2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHILE. 28490 USB, April 17 at 2133, CE7VP, Javier on Chiloé 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 [non]. 11760, April 15 at 1353, NO signal from RHC which is supposed to run 1200-1800 here. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Instead, weak S6/S8 conversation in American English, so it must be CRI -- yes, `Beijing Hour`, scheduled 1200-1400 via Kunming. Still Commies but not vs other Commies! (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 Martí 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 República 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) ** CUBA. 15140, April 19 at 2135 RHC with speech in stilted Spanish, this frequency on later than scheduled and unfound anywhere else on 15, 13, 11, 9 MHz bands except weaker // 9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, April 20 at 2315-2335+, RHC with S9/S6 of dead air except for traces of English modulation while the carrier crackles cutting off and on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9880, April 16 at 2237, CRI Esperanto, VG into UTwente, fluent YL with continuous musical bed; run across as I am tracking Cairo. Via Kashgar, standard denunciation. Only Commies SWBC in Esp`o, CRI and Cuba, per: https://www.addx.de/cgi-bin/hfp.cgi which shows RHC Sundays at 0600-0630 on 6100; really, instead of 0700? I did not reconfirm either today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 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: 9884.951, April 16 at 2333, now Cairo in Arabic to S America, S9+45 with occasional modulation peaks breaking thru. Still suptorted at 0042 April 17, now S9 tuning direct. Note the close match of the -49/50 Hz offset from one frequency to another. 9889.950, April 17 at 0044, has now already upslid 5 kHz for the 0045 Spanish service, same horrible modulation, but I missed the transition. Measured via UTwente not until 0157 when about to end, S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, April 19 at 2148, S9+25 into UTwente extremely distorted but recognizable English from R. Cairo. Earlier in hour direct, nothing but a JBA carrier. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, April 20 at 2204, R. Cairo with extremely distorted but recognizable English, very strong into UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (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) ** ETHIOPIA [non]. 17870, April 19 at 1520 JBA S5/S7 talk, the OSOB as Spain won`t be on 17855 for a few hours on a weekday. EiBi shows Dimtse Woyane in TIG via FRANCE at 1500-1600, and puts a b after the frequency: 17870b -- significant or a typo? {Arthur Pozner says it`s a new frequency for R. Tigray Mediahouse} (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) ** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Fri Apr 15 at 1530, Greek talk dominates into UTwente, while CNR13 pop music dominates into Perth SDR. 1538, ERT plays Dean Martin`s ``That`s Amore``; why? Anyway a fine old Italianate tune. At 1700 timesignal from China as Greece goes off, as Uighur service continues with CNR theme ID and more music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [and non]. 7290, Fri Apr 15 at 1759, UTwente gets music and 1800, 5+1 timesignal and CNR, but no IRRS. Third Friday is an off-week for WORLD OF RADIO at 1815 and everything else normally on IRRS this hour via Bulgaria. Then via Noale SDR near Villa Estense I check 918 and 1323 kHz at 1803. Unlike last week, 918 is off again. 1323 does have rock music, marred by local noise spans on and off every minute; over lite CCI presumably Romania in German; 1807 Radio City ID and DJ in English, I think, but hard to understand. By 1812 recheck, 7290 is now on with same Radio City music. Neither now nor earlier is 2 x 7290 = 14580 audible into UTwente, just a big ute warble on the upper side. And so it goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KUWAIT. 12130, April 19 at 0623, JBA S5/S7 talk vs CODAR. HFCC shows USAGM in Urdu at 0400-1300; Aoki says Mashaal Radio, in Pashto. EiBi says PS to Pakistan. That`s the one for Pashto speakers in Pak and along the border in Afghanistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 14 at 1527, VOM Korea Maldvies service, S9/+10 into UTwente from unknown site; carrier offset 000.80 to 000.82; 1529 few notes of Blessed Assurance, maldives@vomkorea,com address; *1530 Vatican Radio blasts on much louder in Arabic, S9+25 at 001.80 carrier offset. We can`t imagine VR willing to carry a Protestant service, but if they did it would be top-secret (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 15 at 1503, Voice of Martyrs - Korea with TV preacher lecturing as if to children, taking The Trinity as a given in total self-assuredness, S9+10/20 into Perth, better than Kuwait or UTwente gets the secred* site; 1525 fading down to S6/S9, 1529 wrapping up with email and off. Soon replaced by *1530 Vatican Radio in Arabic, much stronger S9/+15 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {*typo: did I mean secret instead of sacred? I may have coined a new term!} ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 19 at 1526, English discussion of NIV Bible version, S7/S9 direct; 1528 music not `Blessed Assurance`, closing VOMKorea Maldives service at 1529, just in time to get off before VATICAN starts Arabicking at *1530, only S3/S5 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 20 at 1514-1530, another exercise in futility as I try another combination of 3 SDRs for TDOA on Voice of Martyrs Korea. New Delhi is getting the best signal, S9+15/20 of usual Protestant TV discussion in English, much better than into SDRs Bengaluru, Kuwait. At 1520 I run Hanoi, Bandung, RSA or Swazi, which conclude it`s most likely from 13N/109E = South Vietnam: yeah, sure. 1527 goes to music, 1529.5 just in time for sign-off ID and email; then *1530 Vatican Arabic starts much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, April 14 at 0232, Station YHWH barely audible vs noise level into Missouri SDR, Josiah`s rants; 0327 can recognize `Days of Hard Life` theme, but talks a while longer past 0329 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2134) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6934.9 AM, April 17 at 0306, JBA talk, music, only sign of a pirate as I haven`t been searching earlier during `prime time` UT Sundays. These say it`s KMUD on ``6935``: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96019.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday April 15 at 2200, token English from REE, VG into Maryland SDR, news first from Justin Coe; then Amy Egan with feature about Easter music in Spain; 2214 finally starts playing `Madruga`, a dirgey march for ``Holy Week`` in Seville. Here`s a look at Justin & Amy along with the podcast where she was introduced: https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/emision-en-ingles/english-language-broadcast-panorama-07-01-21/5754541/ See also TURKEY (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) ** TURKEY. 9830, April 15 at 2200, Voice of Türkiye opening English, VG S9+20/25 strength into UTwente, first with transmission sked. On M/W/F I usually check both this and SPAIN q.v. for English to us. Aside from whether Spain`s subject may be of interest, it`s no contest to choose the pleasant voice of Justin Coe in perfect English, over the Türkiguy trying to be understood through the lo-fi overmodulation and hum. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler. I leave it on in the background and hear the beautiful IS loop already running by 2250; chops off at 2254.6* before it`s about to switch from English postlude to German prélude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 9830, April 19 at 2200, no signal from VOT English into UTwente, just timesignal and Chinese. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2224 some hum, maybe it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, April 20 at 2215, VOT S9+50 into UTwente, VG except for squeal but it`s JBA. After news and Review of Turkiyeish Press; 2215 same old COVID PSA about washing hands, etc., ``vaccine yet to be found``. 2216 `Feeling Supreme` `Health Life` - brain fog and cerebral palsy and what to eat to avoid them. 2224 `Weekly Commentary` quoting a foreign policy and security analyst whose name I cannot possibly copy, about Tuerkiyeish strategy in context of Ukraine conflict, etc. Closing the Bosporus Strait? 2252 recheck, still a whine but much weaker S7 signal with no other modulation, same +3 Hz offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 14 at 0501-0507, UR1 via WRMI again with English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue`, this time by the fast talking guy. I wonder if those doing it mistakenly try to show off their fluency. Says it`s 49th day of the war (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 15 at 0501-0506, YP1 via WRMI with English `Ukraine: Security Issue` this time voiced by the guy who is not in so big a hurry. Of course if they only get 5 minutes for English, you can hardly blame them. I happen to recheck 7730 at 0629 direct and surprised to hear the Ukrainian national anthem, before it`s chopped off at 0629.5 for canned WRMI ID, 0630 into TOMBS. The question is, what was airing between 0600 and 0629 after the UR1 hour? It had been R. Tirana, Albania relay, but on April 13, Ivo Ivanov said Radio for Peace International aired instead in Russian and English. However, this may be a weekly rather than daily broadcast? 1386 Lithuania relay of YP1 English news reconfirmed at 0001 UT April 16, VG into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 16 at 0501-0507.5, YP1 via WRMI with `Ukraine: Security Issue` English segment this time by YL announcer with dramatic stingers for Day 51 of the War. Still wondering what follow the Ukrainian hour at 0600, but not retuned until 0616 when I think I hear Slovakia mentioned, then nothing but fill music until 0629 ID and 0630 TOMBS cult (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 20 at 0502.5-0509.5, Ukraine Radio 1 via WRMI with English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue`. UU language at 0500 first lasts longer than usual, but don`t give up. YL announcer this time who does the best job: Day 55 of the War. First about Mariupol siege. Ends about the postage stamp with the soldier raising finger-3 to the Russian warship, going viral, and at very high prices on Ebay: no plans to print any more of them. I`m not attempting to copy all details of each broadcast, as hugely covered also in mainstream news, but it`s important to hear this daily summary from Ukraine itself; if not now, then after 0000 UT on 1386 kHz via Lithuania via UTwente. 7730 VG into Maryland SDR. 7700-7750 approx., April 20 at 0637 direct, after WRMI is off 7730, a lite noise field over this span, jamming remnant? Nonesuch noted during WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 15200 AM, April 20 at *1601-1701*, KTWR with new Ukrainian broadcast, as TWR had to get in the act. Registered as N = DRM but must have decided they really wanted an audience. Equally good S9+20/30 signal into New Delhi and Khimki, Russia SDRs. No jamming or OTH radar QRM as others have complained last day or two. I listen to whole hour, which is mostly music with some brief announcements. Most of the songs are non-English and to me not overtly gospel, presumably in Ukrainian. No protracted gospel-huxtering. Seems TWR are trying to provide a feel-good uplifting hour. At 1616 & 1628 & 1647 there are praise songs in English; and at 1655 ``Holy3``. I wonder where this be produced studioly: surely not Guam, or even Singapore HQ of TWR Asia: but this is trans-Asian to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K. 12095, April 19 at 0621, French with similar fluttery signal to 12050 Ndarason, see CHAD [non]. This also via Woofferton, but BBC itself at 0600-0630. But HFCC shows quite different powers, azimuths, antenna types (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. But is there ever any s-e-x in DW? I think not: makes it safe for the kiddies! 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 2133 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday April 13 at 2100 on WBCQ: not even a carrier audible direct, but 7490v S9/+5 into Maryland SDR. (It seems that WBCQ has never appreciated the value of higher frequencies, closer to the prevailing MUF or OWF, and less subject to noise especially in the daytime, especially in summer; never more than 7.5 MHz; except of course the 500/250 kW SuperStition originally planned to be multi-band but never on any frequency except 9330; and totally leased to World`s Last Chance.) Confirmed UT Thu April 14 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 & 9455 synchronized and both S9/+15 into Maryland & Missouri remotes respectively.

Also claims to run Eslovaquia at 0400, unheard either. Jeff has not explained what`s going on here, so I am obliged to keep checking. In fact, into various N American and Caribbean area remotes, there *is* a JBA carrier on 5985, enough for Kiwis SAM to lock onto it, but no modulation audible. If not WRMI, what could it be? Aoki and EiBi do not account for anything else at this hour. HFCC has a totally imaginary Indonesian entry which even if it existed would not be propagating from mid-day over there. However, once before I could barely recognize my voice during this span, as if WRMI were on a few watts of exciter only. Maybe that is still the case without or with any identifiable modulation? Another remote possibility: a leapfrog mixing product; but does not compute as combination of any strong 49m Cuban or US fundamentals. WOR 2134 confirmed Friday April 15 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, at least no jamming at this hour, but JBA S3-S5 direct in degraded propagation.

The System D program grid however shows the 7780 airing as 0030 UT Sat. This proves to be correct as I check that while listening to WBCQ into the other ear.

This is stronger than any 9 MHz broadcaster as I quickly scan them: 9330 WBCQ SuperStition is only S9/+10, and 9980 WWCR TOMBS only S9! Possibly an idle RTTY transmitter if not a test-only broadcast frequency (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)
