Patagonia, making quick contacts with K2RLA and other US stations.
QRZ.com: ``CE7VP Chile flag Chile, Javier "Javi" Capdebilla A. P.O.
Box : 42, Quellón, Chiloé Island, 5790000, Chile``. Not much activity
on 10m, a few phones and no beacons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Apr 25 at 1440, S5/S8 of dead air from RHC, where
something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUATEMALA. 24985 USB, Apr 25 at 2212, TG9AHM calling CQDX. QRZ.com:

** SPAIN. 15520, Fri Apr 25 at 2200, token English from SNR missing
from the ME frequency, but VG S9+20/30 direct on 15500 for us, and
17715 S9+10/20 for S America, whilst 15390 for Africa is JBA. Preview
topic to be about careers for women in tech, a female IT engineer to
be interviewed. 2202 news leads about an ammo contract with an Israeli
company worth 6.6 megaeuro has been terminated since it violated
international regulations, vs genocide in Gaza. Second story: proposal
to reduce working hours per week from 40 to 37.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 25 at 2157, VOT IS & ID, but inadequate vs local
noise level; slightly better on N/S interior shortwire S9+10/20 than on
E/W loop S9+10. At 2206 already playing music after olds. It has been
reported that VOT policy is NOT to cover news about Turkey! just
anywhere else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2292 monitoring: confirmed first SW
BC, Friday April 25 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, S5 direct on indoor
randomwire after storms.
Also confirmed Friday April 25 at 2056 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.995+, S8.5 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Friday April 25 at 2057 the 2030 on WRMI webcast.
Also confirmed Friday April 25 at 2218 the 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20
direct but undermodulated JBA.
Also confirmed Friday April 25 at 2242 the 2230 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003, S9/+5 into UTwente.
BTW, SW Radio now has a date-by-date program sked in CEST = UT+2, not
showing WORLD OF RADIO - but we know it`s always the second half of
the hour labeled CQ Serenade.

Not confirmed UT Sat Apr 26 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, which remains off
the air pending repairs; WTWW-2 stream is running with something
else.
NOT confirmed Sat Apr 26 at 0939 check when I happen to awaken, on
WRMI 9455, despite still shown on WRMI skedgrid. 9455 is OFF the air
at that hour. Initially after hurricane damage, some 9455 programming
was shifted to 7730, but now that frequency is unWOR too, JBA sounds
like TOMBS.
However, looking thru the supposedly updated WRMI skedgrid, I find a
NEW WOR time I was unaware of, Sat 2230 on 15770 & 7730, to be
confirmed!
Also confirmed Saturday April 26 at 1449 the 1430 on SW Radio Germany,
6160.001-, S9+5 into UTwente; and 3975 not on air yet.
Also confirmed Saturday April 26 at 1600 on WRN North America stream.

** U S A. 9930, Apr 25 at 2219 and earlier chex, as well as on Apr 24,
WTWW OFF, and not found on any other frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Apr 25 at 2356 into NH SDR: 3265
off. 5130 S9/+10 already in IS & ID loop. 6160 else. 7490 S9+15/20.
9330 OFF at 2357, briefly presumably for antenna change. W1NT SDR is
still miscalibrated so I don`t try to get exact readings, e.g. it
shows 102 Hz low on WWV 20000, 50 Hz low on 10000 - I see a pattern,
and BTW gets the binary ticking from 9996 RWM.
Anyhow, but 0000 UT Sat Apr 26, 9330 is back on and joined by 7490 &
5130 for WTO and opening of `AAAWWW`. His first overwords are ``OK,
OK, OK, OK -- here we are, folx...`` Trimulcasting as I have observed.
Explains how details of music are not his thing, zones out when people
talk about performers, groups, etc, but does like certain music; not
much jazz, but blues is better. Angela also discusses. By 0009 I hear
``moonbats`` so I know they are into far-right politix, that`s enough.
Later something about Jason wanting to change format on their FM
station. 0020 a song they do like, `Riverboat Fantasy` which includes
some nasty words. 0024 datestamp. 0027 `Star Spangled Banner`
jazzed-up; Jimi? 0047 reading reception reports/email already (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15150, April 25 at 1442, WMLK is S9, but fails to accompany
itself with panoply of spurs at 4 kHz intervals as I heard before out
to 15130/15166, outdone by Wolfgang Bueschel who heard them from 15122
to 15178. Something`s not botched at Bethel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU [non]. 9960, Apr 26 at 0647, NO signal from RV, so another
schedule shuffle? Not audible either on 7260 or 3945 at 0650, but at
0652, JBA carrier on 7890, where 3945 used to accomplish a second
harmonic, since suppressed, and probably something else now. 9955 WRMI
is also off at 0647 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 869.62, Apr 25 at 0536 UT, carrier hetting 870, vs high
storm noise level on indoor randomwire. Unlike some other mysteries,
suspect this may be of household or neighborhood origin, never heard
before. But to note whether anybody else detect or I hear it again
under other circumstances - such as not heard in the daytime (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
