** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday May 28 monitoring from 1450 via remotes in Argentina and Brazil, no signal from LRA36, until *1510.5 abrupt cut on end of music and formal sign-on with the canned multi-lingual ID including English that this will be in Spanish. It`s about S5 into Buenos Aires. Also as Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel; Nacional, La Radio Pública. Names of personnel starting with the boss whose name sounds masculine. Otherwise mostly feminine voices. 1516 historical talk starting with something in 1810y. 1517.5 song. 1519.4 says it`s the fourth program of the 2022 season. 1522 contact info on various social nets, etc. 1523 song. 1527 efemérides for 25 de mayo, which is the original date of this repeat = this day in history, several years from 1812 onwards almost to the present. 1530 ID. Checking SDR users I see some others in London, Chicago. 1537 brief QRM burst during conversation; 1539 song. 1543 contact info again. 1544 mentions FM 96.7. Today`s temp: 8 centigrade, which seems awfully hot. 1547 a feature from the cocina = kitchen, interview with a male, chef? 1556 I check Brasília remote where it`s only S2. Campo has better S3/S5. 1558 2-way QRM again at BsAs, so I switch to Campo. A lot of the music is guitarish. 1608 suddenly stops and nothing further in next few minutes. Meanwhile, Manuel Méndez, Spain reported: ``Hi Glenn, Yesterday Friday I contacted with the station via Whatsapp, here my message: "Buenas tardes, el miércoles 25 no salieron al aire, por favor, podrían decirme si saldrán mañana sábado?" Y aquí la respuesta: "Hola buenas noches. Si {sic} salió el programa el miércoles y mañana también sale a las 1200-1300 horas." [= 15-16 UT] According to them, the program was on the air the past Wednesday. Best 73,s Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain`` --- and then today: ``Logs in Friol, NW of Spain, Tecsun S-8800 and PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters. ANTARCTICA, 15476usb, LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel, Base Esperanza, 1521-1527, 28-05, female, comments, songs. Extremely weak and strong fading, audible at times`` Well, on Wed May 25 I had monitored Brazilian & Argentine remotes between 1430 and 1546, and there was never any sign of it. Previously they have come on late like 1510, clock wrong? Nor was there any propagation disturbance, as WWV reported: ``The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 25 May was 1. No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours.`` One must wonder what the four-woman crew are doing besides one hour a week of radio? More broadly, what is the entire Base accomplishing, in scientific research? Programming is not about that, rather historical stuff, much of it about Argentina rather than Antarctica. Or are they there merely as a nationalistic outpost to bolster an unacceptable claim to part of the International Continent? Calling it ``Antártida Argentina`` does not make it so. Note: from next week/month when it`s June, there is supposed to be another repeat Saturdays at 18 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRALIA. 10129 USB, May 30 at 0555, hamnet of ragchewers on Aussie-only 30-m phone band. Besides weakness, very hard to ID as they seldom do so knowing each other well, let alone clearly or fonetikaly. 10129 is favorite frequency but also have heard some on 10124 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRIA. 9670, May 27 at *1600, via UTwente, faux timesignal, brief announcement in Russian, then John with VORW in English, a special broadcast via Channel 292 but not its own German site, rather 100 kW from Moosbrunn eastward. Usual musings about what`s going on in his life, and to take music requests, so is it live? Finally some music from 1610. Cut off abruptly at 1659.5* but similar signal back on at *1700 which in the low-res `292 sked is `Bobs 60s Splash`, oldies and later DJ speaking. From 292 it`s totally unclear which site(s) be in use at which hours. I knew about VORW coming, only indirectly from SWLing Post via AER in Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 3330 & 7850 & 14670, May 28 at 2325, all CHUs are still off after more than a week. Canada is out of time! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 3330 & 7850 & 14670, May 30 at 1551 UT, CHU is back on all channels, but needs a little more work: Timechex are two hours slow!! As 1351, and still at 1600 as if it were 1400. Ditto past 1700, at 1748 as if ``1548``. At 1808 as ``16h08m``. At 1954 UT as ``17h54m``. The English & French announcers must be in cahoots as both are doing it. Obviously, no one is paying attention! Anyone relying on this will be 2:00 hours late to do whatever. Tnx to Don Moman and Joe Caberlin who noted it was back by 1500 UT. It had crashed at 2000 UT May 21 due to storms and power outages; occasionally there were carriers but no regular service for almost 9 days of no time for Canada. BTW, on the SDR originally running in LSB, CHU could be heard but louder via USB. Is this a transmission or reception defect? It`s supposed to be reduced-carrier upper sideband (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 3330 & 7850, May 31 at 0640, revived CHU is *still* announcing time *two hours slow* as ``4h,40m``, almost 16 hours after turned back on. At 1450, both 7850 & 14670 RCUSB too weak to copy direct. But at 1524 into Ottawa SDR, finally correct. As far as I could tell, however, the minute markers stayed correct and precise, so that`s something. Meanwhile, Richard Langley, NB, reports to the WOR iog, May 31 at 1104: ``Just got this message from the NRC technical officer after reporting the announced time error yesterday and asking about the off-air reason: "Thank you for this, don't know why the time was 2 hours off. It is fixed now. The antennas were fine. The problem was the generator failed for a long time so everything shut down. Then we were not allowed access to the site until yesterday, they just opened the road where CHU is located this morning."`` And confirmed correct hour being announced monitoring 7850 kHz here in NB about 30 minutes ago (around 11:45 UTC). -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, May 29 at 2219, Trenton Military with ``No Report Received`` from: Trenton itself!, Ottawa, Toronto, Bagotville, and keeps repeating same list at least twice more. 15034 USB, May 30 at 1443, still nothing but ``No Report Received`` from: Shannon, Prestwick, Keflavik, Lajes. Those would have been terminal forecasts; at 1443, different sequence of aviation weather also NRR: Shearwater, Greenwood, Gander, Halifax, and also repeating. ID and time as 1440Z --- only 3 minutes slow rather than 60+ sometimes and than CHU, *two hours slow* --- come on, Canada, you can do better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, May 31 at 1455, CHR Trenton Military, still nothing but ``no report received`` from: Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and repeated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 13530, May 30 at 1437, CNR1 jammer poor, 15920 JBA. At 1448 further typical SOH/CNR1s detected on 13020, 13130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also GREECE [and non] ** CUBA. 6060, May 26 at 0644, RHC English S9+10/20 under humbuzz but also still on 6100, S9/+10 in mailbag but overmodulated/distorted. 6165 also still on weaker. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The other side: ``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW May 26, 2022 SHORTAGES Blackouts and No Food: A Miserable May for Cubans Inhabitants of Mayarí, Holguín say that the last few weeks have been the most trying since the 'situation' began.

Ramírez Álvarez (Diario de Cuba) "This month is proving the most critical, the most difficult to keep our heads above water. The rice from the store was short, there’s no oil or sugar on the street and, unfortunately, we have no electricity, with one blackout after another," said Yoandris, a health worker in Mayarí, Holguín, who lives with his elderly parents and also has a son to support.

Now leaving only 6060, but unusable below horrible self-inflicted humbuzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. May 27 at 0625+, I survey all the Cuban jamming frequencies running now despite having no targets whatsoever. Mainly would be Radio Martí, but that`s totally off SW overnight. The pulsing sounds vary from one to another in pitch, rate and intensity. 11930, 11860, 11775, 9955, 9805, 9565, 7405, 7365, 7355, 7335, 6030, 5980, 5955. Details: 11775 never an RM frequency: now would be jamming Dengê Welat! 9955 below WRMI with TOMBS not even in Spanish and certainly not exile programming. Heaviest wall-of-noise on 7335, 6030. 5980 vs leapfrog mixing product of WWCR 5890 over 5935. 5955 over a decade ago had Radio República, 5954 via Costa Rica: once jammed, always jammed! The totally incompetent and extremely wasteful DentroCuban Jamming Command. Think of all the nutritious meals which could have been provided to undernourished Cubans for the wasted cost of all that juice. Not that jamming is ever justified even when correctly timed and targeted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13680 // 13740, May 27 at 2127, RHC Spanish on both; 13680 is stronger S9 vs 13740 fading to S1-S4, but louder modulation on the weaker one. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The latest May 24 update of EiBi now shows 13680 but only at 1930-2100 for Europe; not at all in Aoki as of same date (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11950, Friday May 27 at 2303 tune-in, a few SPY NUMBERS before cut to RHC programming, voice-over Spanish translation of a speech in English, a live Caribbean event? Toward end of speech, St Kitts & Nevis mention so maybe its delegate/ambassador. Hearing next from a Nicaraguan. This is not // mainstream RHC Spanish on 11760, 11670, 9710, 9535; while VP undermod 6000 may be //. This would be the `Mesa Redonda` TV audio which is supposedly scheduled Mon-Thu only. No 13680 or 13740 on air now and only 19m, 15730 is in Kriyol. 11880 is also not on air in English, nor 11850 Spanish and parasites. To boot on very strong 11950, there is crossmodulation from some music underneath. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13605, May 29 at 0635, add another frequency to the pointless overjamming, as OCB of course only uses this in daytime. Sounds like mixture of at least two sites at different pulse rates (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000 & 6060 & 6100 & 6165, May 29 at 0702, all four RHCs are off, so Esperantists are out of luck for first weekly broadcast on Sundays at 0700, now imaginary. Something`s always wrong at RHC. However, I do hear its sad theme starting about 1501 on 11760 and presumably secret 15140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, UT Monday May 30 at 0441, RHC is S9 but JBM in presumed English. 6060 is S9/+10 of humbuzz obscuring Spanish; 6100 not on yet; 6165, S9/+20 sufficient in English, mailbag as ``Ed Newman`` gives email address. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, May 31 at 2214, RHC is S9 but JBM, barely recognizable as scheduled French. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, May 31 at 0633, this is the only RHC English frequency remaining, S7/S9 but barely modulated and unusable; still below some hum but no buzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC. And it`s even weaker than 1-kW 6070 CFRX at S9+10 and amply modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, May 29 at 2217, S4/S5 direct chanting from R. Cairo and seems undermodulated. On my other rx and antenna at 2235 it`s JBA. But at 2239 into UTwente, S9+35/40 and extremely distorted English. Something`s always egregious in Egypt. My previous report with precise frequency 9439.995 was misquoted as ``9439`` in the May NASWA Journal, as the log editor simply deletes any numbers after the decimal some of us go to so much trouble to report precisely! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GREECE [and non]. 9420.002, June 1 at 1549, VOG still going after latest closure date as they got a 2-week reprieve, VG S9+30/35 into UTwente with music; 1559:15 ID during which CCCCI is audible: both CNR6 and CNR15 are scheduled overlapping with widely divergent targets, Taiwan and Xinjiang. Another hour of Greek music interspersed with a lot of conversation making it less attractive to non-Hellenix. 1659.15 ERT IS plays again but soon off at 1700* uncovering CNR13 Uighur playing some classical music with same +002 Hz carrier offset. Now this weaker signal is more subject to ACI from 9425 VOK, maybe even 2ACI from 9410 CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Sunday May 29 at 0630, RNZP is S9+10/20, SSOB as usual, not in English but some voices in language, probably Maori, occasionally lapsing into English terms; 0632 mentions Liam Neeson. 0633 outro and into English music request show of leftover items, from last night? This is contrary to the schedules online: RNZP says Sundays at noon-8 pm [= 0000-0800 UT], it`s relaying RNZ National, so we have to look that up, this date: ``6:06 PM. Māpuna with Julian Wilcox --- Julian talks to Māori throughout Aotearoa, from sports legends, to business leaders, to artists and community advocates. (rpt)`` and next show not until: ``6:50 PM``. And, ``The Sunday Night Retro Show`` not until 0806 UT. BTW, `Mediawatch` starting at 1015 UT, later than previously listed in our DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS guide. Yet the page of Mediawatch itself claims it be Sundays 10:12 pm, as well as 9:05 am [= 2105 UT Saturdays]. BTW2, in case you haven`t heard, funds have been allocated for RNZP to get a new SW transmitter, which should allow it to run two frequencies 24/7, one of them DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, May 30 at 0601, RNZP starting BBCWS news relay by the deep-voiced Neil Nunes from Jamaica --- VG signal, the best we can get BBC since they dispensed with N America on SW. 0606 into BBCWS Newsday. Ironically, NZ is not really for us either. See also UNIDENTIFIED 13840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, June 1 at 0336, Station YHWH good into northern Utah SDR, tnx tip from Eric Fetters-Walp in WA on the WOR iog; Josiah Elias has been active almost every night lately, but I myself had not been checking. Usual rants anti-Christ, the ``god-man hybrid``, anti-Catholic = homosexuals and pedophiles; the one true god Yahweh will soon establish a worldwide theocracy: no, tnx! Carrier offset only -006 Hz: he`s frequencily very accurate. 0403 live timecheck for 9:04 pm Pacific. 0409 playing his ``Days of Hard Life`` themesong, about to close down?

No STANAG QRM de 9912 now; not out of 9940 WTWW which is still AWOL. 2332 fading down and up, 2333 SSTV? but not much variety in the beepery. 2337 music, live performance with applause, but no announcements. 2357 quick ID? sounds like ``You are listening to The Last Nowhere, TBA``; more SSTV. 2358.5 starts raunchy storyteller with wild audience roaring continuously; whether a tree is dead, does it matter? Describes his dick. Current references to Michael Jaxon being on trial, etc. May 29 UT: 0010 SSTV. 0011.5 resume bawdy stories on and on; 0041 finishes, who was it? SSTV, 0042 music overlaps, ruining image? 0042.6 music. 0049, ``This is CEO[?]. I`m gonna call it a night; this is sucked`` - or something like that. Later I check HFU and find lots of previous logs of Sycko Radio, UT May 22, 24, 27, but NOT tonight! Until now I was unaware he had been on 9913 before, and with lots of SSTV captures: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,97370.msg308627.html#msg308627 https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,97499.msg308909.html#msg308909 https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,97605.msg309145.html#msg309145 https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,97609.msg309149.html#msg309149 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, 0619 UT May 26: SW, ND beacon, Stillwater is still on, JBA. ``Hi Glenn!

Not me, until I see it copied in new BC-DX as if it were correct, without challenge or correxion. BTW, I can`t help but notice that many of my fellow DX editors are rather lax about publishing correxions, no matter who may be at fault. Some minor typos may not matter but this certainly does.

WORLD OF RADIO 2140 monitoring: confirmed UT Friday May 27 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 direct but only poor in noise level. Same S reading into Maryland SDR but good. Also confirmed Friday May 27 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct and no jamming audible. Also confirmed Friday May 27 at 1815.4 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, heard via NW Ireland SDR using LSB to avoid the USB ute warble; and AM Italia where both 1323 and 918 kHz are on air but not 207, as heard via nearby Noale SDR; slightly better on 918 S5-S7 than 1323 S4-S6. Thus resuming after last week`s 3rd-Friday pre-emptions. I tuned in earlier: at 1759, 7290 JBA in Chinese, 1800 timesig and CNR theme; *1800.9 Kostinbrod cuts on, JIP Feature Story News as always in progress, UN News; 1809 starting some DJ music show but only a fragment until 1815 IRRS ID still plugging the Milano PO box which is otherwise disallowed, and into WOR. Jean-Michel Aubier, France also reports: ``World of Radio heard this Friday at 1815 on 7290 1323 and 918 and also at 2030 on 1323 and 918 Nothing on 207 (via a web-receiver in northern Italy)`` I also confirm Fri May 27 at 2030.7 on AM Italia 918 & 1323, not 207, same reception as before. At 2029 tune-in a DJ was just welcoming us to his country music show, and got only 3 notes played before chopped off at 2030 for ID and then WOR.

Not confirmed Sat May 28 at 1930 on WRMI 15770: EXACTLY the same thing happens this week as last week: WOR starts but chopped after my first eight words, replaced by the same `cello fill music. I ask Jeff about it again and he now says it can`t play at this time for ``technical reasons``, and may not ever be able to. Confirmed Saturday May 28 at 1938.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, just finishing the NZ clip about halfway thru so again must have started early circa 1925, steady S9+8 into nearby Warrenton MO SDR - not to be confused with the one in Warrenton VA. Distracted by piracy, missed checking UT Sunday May 29 at 0030 on WRMI 7780; did anyone hear it? Anyway at 0105 it`s on with TOMBS.

WORLD OF RADIO 2140 monitoring: confirmed Sunday May 29 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz, S9+3 into nearby Noale SDR; too much noise on 918 to be sure whether also on there, maybe a trace; and not on 207 kHz. 1323 JBA into UTwente across Europe. Also confirmed Sunday May 29 at 2230 on WRMI 5950 despite replaced by something else on websked a couple months ago, JBA direct in full summer day path, but S9 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday May 29 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+15/20 into Virginia SDR which is way offbeam from 222 degrees, but a lot better than I can get 7780 direct perpendicularly. Also confirmed UT Monday May 30 at 0130 on WRN N America webcast. Also confirmed UT Monday May 30 starting at 0309.3 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.941, S9/+5 into Maryland SDR, and played to completion 0338 when HRI starts with a bit of overlap. Delayed start as JL admitted he was ``running late`` past 0300. Modulation sounds a bit rough and of course narrow AM or LSB or SAL required to minimize 6165 Cuba splash, which WBCQ is doing nothing about.
