WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Germany - Shortwave Gold/Radio: Added link to new page with detailed programme schedule lineup. The next update is scheduled for March. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe, Teddington UK. Feb 7 ** ARGENTINA. 28480 USB, Feb 11 at 2320, LW2DHD calling CQDX after working several US stations. For him H = Honolulu. Did they run out of LU-calls? Watch out, Luxembourg! QRZ.com: ``LW2DHD Argentina flag Argentina, JAVIER (Javi) ECHEVERRIA, Pejerrey 1746 Pb. 3, Pinamar, BU 7167, Argentina``. Lots of other activity now on 10m, phone and beacons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 4804.3, Feb 9 at 0100, JJBBA carrier direct, even weaker than the Peruvian JBA carriers on 4810, 4820. I`m checking here because of this report Feb 8: ``I heard a Brazilian last night on 4805 khz. Man and woman with lots of IDs by man as Rádio Difusora do Amazonas at 0310 UTC on the 8th, lots fading, lost them at 0315, heard on the PL-880. Ron Trotto, WDX4KWI, Virden, Illinois`` - to which I replied: ``Wow, that 4805 station in Manáus, ZYF273 with 10/5 kW had been gone for a long time. Checking some handy WRTHs, was listed in 2016 but not 2021. Glenn`` I had not noticed any carrier around 4805 before, but had not been seeking one. After 0100, I check all available KiwiSDRs in S America and some beyond, with zero signs of any carrier circa 4805. Further research shows Amazonas station was still appearing on active-Brasil listings in 2017, but s/off time was 0100. The 2016 WRTH gave a website, which still very much exists, for a station on 96.9 FM, https://difusora24h.com/ and it does appear to be the successor station. Nothing about 4805 to be found there now, nor contact info, but I do find some email addresses via social media sites; inquiry in Brazuguese has bounced twice due to ``mailbox full``, so will keep trying into weekdays. Meanwhile everyone keep an ear or remote on 4805v! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL [non?]. 4804.23 approx., Feb 11 at 0027, JBA carrier direct but unstable. By 0255 it`s about 4804.37. Could be local birdie. Following up report of ZYF273 reactivated on 4805: Feb 9 at 2119: ``Dear Glenn. I've researched in many ways at 4805 AM, Rádio Difusora do Amazonas (former Rádio Difusora de Manáus) and found nothing about its reactivation by the Tropical Band. It is active in FM 96.9 MHz. I will continue to research about it! Yours sincerely, José Ronaldo Xavier, Cabedelo-PB, Brazil`` Feb 9 at 2143: ``Glenn, Brazil often comes in well into Masset. I checked 4805 last night and not even a carrier was seen. Walt Salmaniw, BC`` Feb 10 at 0059: ``I tried also all I got was a low carrier like something was their but was not making it. ron trotto-wdx4kwi, virden Illinois, Tecsun pl-880, grundig sat 750, sangean ats 909x`` Ron was the only one who reported it originally. Mon Feb 10: Possibly a one-off test? My email to the 96.9 successor still bouncing as ``mailbox full`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9665.13, Feb 11 at 0728, S3/S5 music, so R. Voz Missionária reactivated after maintenance, but still can`t accuratize frequencing. Other reports this date: [WOR] R. Voz Missionária back on 9665 kHz --- Following reports that Radio Voz Missionária has been absent from 9665 kHz & 5940 kHz for a few weeks (heard only on 11750 kHz) I happened upon them tonight on 9665 kHz, which appears reactivated. Still no signal on 5940 kHz. Listening direct in Central Florida on a Tecsun PL-880 receiver, long wire antenna - fair to good reception. Confirmed parallel to 11750 kHz and also confirmed on Brazilian KiwiSDR receivers. All the best, John VORW Jurasek, Central Florida`` 0607 UT ``Thanks, John! Very strong into Masset, BC on 9665.130 now at 0615 UTC.  Nice to have them back, although they do interfere with Channel 292 on 9670! 73, Walt`` Salmaniw ``Some today's band scanning for Brazilian stations, RVB: 5940 not heard in both Pardinho no Sao Paolo {sic} [SP after] Usually a 40+dB SNR 9665.11 with the rest signal of -56 dbm in SP, 30 in Pardinho 45+ in Goiânia. 11750 in both Pardinho and SP with nearly no signal 20 dbm carrier only at 0700 clear in Goiânia with -65dbm or ca 40db SNR Zacharias Liangas`` 9665 Voz Missionária, back on the air -- Hello Glenn, 9665 kHz Voz Missionária, Camboriu SC, Brazil, is back on the air. I'm not sure if it's permanent, or if what's being transmitted is still a provisional technical analysis. 11750 on the air. 5940 still silent. It's still under announced maintenance. Rudolf Grimm`` at 1322 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 250 MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0718 UT, dash and FO, 1600-watt ND beacon at Flin FlOn, Manitoba. Last logged Feb 2, 2023! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 300 MCW kHz, Feb 8 at 0722 UT, dash and YIV, 500-watt ND beacon at Island Lake, MB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Feb 7 at 0735 UT, dash and YXL is JBA, ND beacon at SiouX Lookout, Ontario. Glad to still detect it as my best/only Canadian beacon; used to be easy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 990, Feb 7 at 0705 UT, CBC news ends, no local ID from CBW, and into `The World` from PRX, i.e. from USA, Public Radio Exchange. Excellent show we also get the previous afternoons {2006 UT} on KOSU. Some US SW station should diffuse it, like WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 2749 USB, Feb 9 at 0720 UT, marine weather by OM voice. Again the Canadian Coast Guard site does not show any before 0740, which is VCO Sydney via Port Caledonia. Ditto dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm Nothing on 2598 USB now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 2598 USB, Feb 11 at 0738 UT, S9 YL voice with gale warning for Grand Banx, says next warning will be at 1000 NST [1330 UT]. CCG site shows starting at 0737 is VCP Placentia, via St. Lawrence site, Newfoundland. At 0743 there is a similar-sounding YL voice but much weaker on 2749 USB. That`s VCO Sydney NS via Port Caledonia site from 0740. DXinfocentre.com says 2598 at 0737 is VCP-4 Placentia with 3000 watts; 2749 at 0740 is VCO with 550 watts. All these are also in EiBi showing end-times mostly 20 minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 17765-17770-17775, Feb 10 at 0503, DRM noise at S9+10/20. EiBi shows CNR1 from site d = Dongfang, Hainan, at 0100-0900. And it isn`t even a jammer! SOH should go on there to keep it company. Also several mostly JBA carriers all correlating with China: 17510, 17550, 17595, 17740, 17840, 17855, 17890; also 18900, 18970; but nothing on 21 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 870, Feb 8 at 0744 UT, wobbler and hardly any signal from WWL, as often the case, strange. U3 50/50 kW, as the main 870 clear channel station, could be U1, but to avoid wastage over the Gulf of Mexico! is direxional with null thataway, major lobes favoring E/W to the north side, and should own 870 at night here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 870, Feb 12 at 0734 UT, wobbler vs very little signal from WWL, which if at full 50 kW blast would easily overcome it, like WHO can on 1040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 1040, Feb 10 at 0749 UT, wobbler under WHO, but not vs 870 WWL at the moment. Presumably the only listed, R. Mayabeque, Güines, 10 kW. I guess at local range it`s a huge loss, no program modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Feb 6 at 0716, R. Rebelde is OFF. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Had been fairly reliable last several nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Feb 10 at 0443, RHC making a comeback, English S9+30/40, modulation not very bad with some hum, but YL accent hard to understand. Now to find whether `The Mailbag Show` survive, sked before circa 0045, 0245, 0445 UT Mondays; 0030, 0230, 0430 UT Thursdays; time was always quite variable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 7335, Feb 10 at 0451, pulse jamming against nothing since R. Martí is not there but 7355 & 7435, both of which bear some different JBA clickery, jamming or defect? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, Feb 11 at 1559, a few notes of RHC theme, the softer, gentler ``Que viva la revolución`` before 1600* chopoff. Was undermodulated rather than dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9590, Feb 7 at 2304, soft guitar music with singer, language? S9+20/30 with flutter. Listed is CRI Spanish via Kashgar. So has Spanish been replaced by music fill only, like CRI  Portuguese? Still no 13650 of that at sametime via CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ETHIOPIA. 6090, Feb 10 at 0445, algo JBA, probably Amhara State Radio, a bit late and should be better circa *0300. Nothing now on 6110, the other Ethiopian, Fana, both the only ones listed at these hours by EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11525, Feb 10 at 0458, S8/9+10 of talk in unID language. EiBi shows nothing but Dengê Gel via ARMENIA and Turkish jammer after 0400. Both of them jumparound in the 11.5s, often not on same frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 800, Feb 10 at 0754, XEERG, for the record, *still* extreme distortion QRMing KQCV OKC. I first reported this on Sept 17, 2024! as unID, soon traced to XEERG Ojo de Agua, NL, as I explained then in great detail (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 970, Feb 12 at 0736 UT, break in Mexmx at tune-in, ``Usted y La Jota Mejicana, 9-70``, i.e. XEJ, Ciudad Juárez. The usual one on 970 rather than flagship of R. Fórmula, XERFR CDMX which is twice as far. Note to editors: please do not ``correct`` my spelling. Mexico with a J is an alternative, and certainly fits with branding of this station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 17675, Feb 10 at 0501, RNZP with NZ news, finally VG again, S9+10/20, the SSOB rivaled only by S9+10/20 of DRM on 17765-17770-17775. Surprisingly several other sigs on 16m, see CHINA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Feb 7 at 0655, JBA carrier, presumed anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH, running late again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Feb 9 at 1551, JBA music S5 on signature off-frequency of pirate Hikari FM, who once claimed to be in Sonora just across from the SW corner of Arizona. Ron Howard reported: ``Here is the informative email received for my report for Jan 30 remote reception: "Thank you so much for tuning in! Yeah I have recently realized that having a good connection to ground may not be the best thing. The grounded case of the transmitter was detuning the dipole hence the signal strength issues. I have choked the ground connection and isolated the shortwave transmitter from other equipment so that should be fixed. I also have a signal on 1620 KHz but I doubt it will ever reach California. I am experimenting with it and experimenting with transmitter designs. I think It should be easier to get signal from now on, looks much better on the SDRs. Sorry I didn't realize this and fix it earlier. I had a choke on it before but It was not sufficient. The song you heard is Natsu kage or Summer Lights from the TV show AIR by Lia. One of my favorites. It is not the original version though. I am not really sure how to translate "kage"(影) into English in the context of that song. Very Best Regards," Ron, Monterey, Calif.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, Feb 7 at 1619, still no signal from REE to ME, but JBA on 17755 to Af, the pair which should start at 1600 M-F, while 9690 & 17715 for N&SAm don`t start until 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 7 at 2300, token English from SNR VG direct, S9+30/40, preview to be about photography exhibition - another subject lacking essential video. 2301.5 news starts with Canary Islands minor/miner migrants issue reaching agreement to forward them to peninsula or Ceuta. Ken Zichi monitors Spainglés and reports in great detail to his MARE Tipsheet then quoted in the WOR iog - so I don`t have to (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN [and non]. 12030, Mon Feb 10 at 2300, NO signal of token English from SNR, on beam to ME, off the back direct to here, to Maryland SDR, nor to UTwente. Something`s neglected at Noblejas. 9690 for NAm is VG however, news lead about anniversary of a farmers` revolt against EU restrixions. 17715 for SAm maybe JBA, not 17755 for Africa but could still be on. Note: Some editors refuse to include a NON-log such as this, in frequency order, altho that is the newsworthy aspect of it, a transmission missing which is supposed to be on! Strong Spanish however could be heard on 12050 from WEWN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, Tue Feb 11 at 2315, REE still absent from ME frequency direct, whilst 9690 to NAm is VG in unEnglish, 17715 much weaker, and 17755 detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 12 at 2257, into Maryland SDR: 12030 off, 9690 S9+15/25, 17715 S5/S7, 17755 inaudible; 2300 token English from SNR, preview topic to be about World Radio Day = Feb 13, the 1946 date when UN Radio began. Interview about that starts after the news at 2305. With Javier Sánchez, Spain`s rep to World DAB+ organisation. Radio survived the advent of color TV, new challenges now, how can it remain relevant? Radios are hard to find in new cars, but they do have screens. FM doesn`t cut it, nor plain DAB. Now DAB+ provides stuff to see on screens, like artists and song titles, emergency info. (Strangely, no interest in USA for DAB/+ and guess what, RDS on plain old FM can also provide text info.) Unfortunately, at 2313, DOUBLE AUDIO starts, equal level about 3 words apart!!! I`m still listening via Maryland SDR, its fault? NO! Same thing direct, and on 17715. Tuneout, unlistenable! Something`s messed up in Madrid, or nonsensical at Noblejas. Spot check at 2320, still so; and at 2325 when the separation seems more than three words, but back to single audio in wrapup after interview. What an embarrassment for them. I wonder how the podcast will sound/resound (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K O G B A N I. 17570-17575-17580, Feb 9 at 1548, DRM noise at S7. Per EiBi, it`s BBC English via Woofferton at 1458-1600 to S Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, Feb 12 at 0729 UT, no signal from HRU, ND beacon which used to be regular, day and night; had not been hearing it for a few weeks, off? 25 watts at HeRington KS; RNA list says last logged: 2024-12-29. Distance: 266 km = 165 stmi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4095, Feb 8 at 0713, sweeps upward and CW ID as DW = Desert Whooper, plus some other JBA uncopiable CW. Often check for this vs severe local noise level, but not logged since Nov 29 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7290 AM, Feb 10 until 0449*, QSO between W5JKO and W4KYZ, discussing lack of ``nocturnal emissions`` on 160 and 75 [sic] meters, apparently during blackout, tho had heard `TimTron`. QRZ.com shows ``W4KYZ USA flag USA, Richard A Coyne, 2038 Fawnridge Ct, The Villages, FL 32162`` but no W5JKO, wrong call? ARRL shows: ``HENNINGTON JR, MELVIN B, N5MH, 1100 S LAKE CLAIBORNE RD, PORT GIBSON, MS 391504320, Previous call sign: W5JKO, Issue Date: 05/05/2011, Expire Date: 06/01/2021, Date of Last Change: 06/02/2023 (License Status Set to Expired)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Feb 7 at 1616, talk but too weak to be readable, from KMK282, aux of KOVR ``13``, Stockton CA. Seems to be regularly on around this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2280 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday January 6 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9/+20 into Bonaire SDR.

Also confirmed Friday February 7 not starting until 2331 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003-, S7/S9 into UTwente. Also confirmed UT Saturday February 8 at 0400 on WTWW-2, 5085, VG direct and S9/+10 into NH SDR, until 0430* and still not on webcast. I never manage to happen to awaken Sat 0930/1000 to check for WOR as sked on WRMI 9455; but shortly after 0900 Feb 8, I notice it is *still* off the air, altho 9455 does funxion at other dayparts. Maybe WOR on 7730 instead but too weak and too asleep. Also confirmed Saturday February 8 at 1552 the 1530v on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001+, S9+5/10 into UTwente with some ACI from 6165 ChiCom.

Now confirmed on 3, 5, 7 and 9 but NOT 6160, something else, presumably the usual `Intelligence Report`. After theme, segué to C&W tune, ``sounds like the radio`` refrain. 0106 old ``The Planet`` liner. 0107 Allan finally speaks, brings up Angela on phone, presumably still in Fla. 0112 ``pentacasting on 5 transmitters`` -- NO, you are not, 6160 with something else! Says he is in Maine on a maintenance visit, once each winter; tnx Angela for some sox with copper strands to keep his feet warm she got at a Dollar store. There was a staff party today. He found chatGP useful in tackling some tech problem. 0116 QRM from pulsing on the minus side until 0121, rate of about 6 per second; also a continuous noise signal on 3250. Says he bought a new 1 kW solid state transmitter for his AM 780 station, runs on 120V, small, only 35/40 pounds compared to old tube transmitters.

Pulses now cover 3250/3270 and can`t be avoided by USB tuning. Back to 3265.160. 0138 another song. 0143 again claims ``pentacasting`` -- NOT, I check again; what does he know? 0149 refers to ``Demoncrats``, endorses everything Trump and Musk are doing except Trump should lower his electric bills. 0153 playing request by Dominic for `Radio Radio` by Elvis Costello. 0156 e-mails, no time for Free Radio Weekly.

They appear to have left the air sometime between 0045 and 0100 UT`` During my log it`s notable that neighbor WWCR 12160, at a similar distance, is hugely stronger, inblasting S9+25/30. Nothing yet on English frequency 15610, which I had heard with open carrier only, no modulation. Spanish takes priority. WEWN used to have some lower frequencies at night, but current HFCC shows only: 12050 14-06 Spanish 155 degrees to CIRAF 11 & 15 with 100 kW; 15610 19-06 English 85 degrees to CIRAF 46 & 47 with 250 kW. Strangely, CIRAF 11 & 15 mean Caribbean/Central America, and SE Brasil, but skipping the rest of S America. 46 & 47 mean W Africa and central as far as Sudan, Cameroun. Likely the real spans in each language will be less than possible. Collisions resume: 12050 at 18-19, R Ndarason International for Chad from Woofferton, and same 19-20 from Ascension; 12050 also with RFA Tibetan via Kuwait at 22-23, plus CNR1 jamming of course. 15610 confronts CNR1 jamming and SOH after 2200, until 1600. Into Bonaire at 1812, only fair Spanish on 12050, maybe trace of RNI underneath. At 1927, Bonaire busy but SB do Campo, Brasil gets only RNI Ascension. WEWN is still on, atop RNI into Maryland.

Re my JBA carrier on 216 kHz, where the only NDB listed is CO in COncord NH: It was steady like a real signal rather than a local birdie, but Feb 9 at 0710 UT I find one on 216.7v, like a birdie (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 810.578, Feb 10 at 0440 UT, het upon 810 WHB. No 9/kHz TA carriers audible now. Still there Feb 10 at 0735 UT measured 810.56 estimate on other receiver. Of course, nothing in mwoffsets this far off. Not tried to DF it yet.

Still not by 0255 direct. Maybe sporadic, since Tim had it a few months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Unheard on Feb 11, nor earlier on UT Feb 12, but by 0708 I have mystery carrier weakly about 810.56. This time I try to DF it with the D808, and get roughly 100/280 degrees, i.e. slightly clockwise from E/W - that would eliminate Latin America, Bahamas, but inside US or possibly West Africa, SW Pacific. Did anyone else get a bearing on it? Someone suggested it could be Tokyo, but that would be pretty far off my DF. And at 17 UT, Tokyo SDR has FEN right on frequency. In next few minutes I check several SDRs in SC, GA, AL, MS and TN, and if any signal on 810, none way off. My initial log of this at 0440 UT Feb 10, would be too early for anything from E Asia or Pacific.
