** COLOMBIA [and non]. 28493 USB, Apr 28 at 2204, QSO in Spanish
between HJ6UMR and LU1VZ, tnx for the fonetix, axually get to hear
both sides. One topic: satellite communications. QRZ.com:
``HJ6UMR Colombia flag Colombia, MANUEL ANTONIO CAMPUZANO ORTIZ. CL
159 7 74 AP APTO 1814. (4.735765-74.034975-FJ24PH BOGOTÁ D.C. - BOGOTÁ

his postal address] and:
``LU1VZ Argentina flag Argentina, Radio Club Bariloche, Cdte. Luis
Piedrabuena 5560, BARILOCHE (8403), RN, Argentina, For more
information: http://radioclubbariloche.ar``
but it does not connect. Also had a DU accent in English on 28570 USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Apr 28 at 0242, pirate music at S9 = noise
level. Many logs here as WDOG, with playlists:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OMAN. 15310, Apr 28 at 2217, news about Palestine by W&M sounds
like BBCWS, S7/S9 with flutter. Yes: relay at 22-24 daily (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 28 at 1519, still no signal from Rep. of
Yemen Radio; yet Rick Barton, AZ was hearing Arabic Apr 27 at 1430;
sporadic? HFCC shows a res by RAM for something NEW at 1500-1600, 110
degrees, 300 kW from MOLDOVA. RAM = Radio-Agency-M, broker for KCH and
TAC Uzbekistan sites (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715, 15520, 15500, 15390, Apr 28 at 2058, REE completely
off the air, due to huge power failure in Iberia, checked into
Maryland SDR. At 2159 direct, still nothing. John Figliozzi, however,
reports they were still streaming but with a domestic network at 2200
instead of Monday English, however with French at 2230 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 9875.005+, Sun Apr 27 at 2046, VOT English not
off the air, S9+15/25 into UTwente, ending `The Pulse of Turkish
Foreign Policy`, music. 2050 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2053
starting `Letterbox`, hostess Seher Cemre Turan, name provided by Alan
Holder, starts musing about spring, but it`s either rainy or cloudy.
4/23 is some Children`s Day, but dumps off the air at 2054* before she
gets to any mail; and does not return. By 2106 I`m hearing weak
Chinese: that would be VOK in Mandarin from 2100 per EiBi. I`m set to
resume Lbox at 2225 on 11785 but that is also OFF the air again today.
Somethings always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.006+, Apr 28 at 2200, VOT not off the air, better
than usual direct, S9/+10 but still insuff for armchair listening.
S/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620, into olds. At 2238 into UTwente when
measured, mostly music S9+30. By 2243 ``always-by-your-side`` promo,
now S9+40. 2253 s/off still pretending it`s the 1230 on 17620.
Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2254 IS to 2255* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2292 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 27 from 2131 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002+, S8/S9 into
UTwente, and also on 6160.001-, S9/+5 but with 6164 RTTYditty which
must be avoided by LSB tuning and/or narrowed bandwidth.
Also confirmed Sunday April 27 at 2334 the 2330 on WRMI 9455, S9+18/22
into N9AZZ remote in IL, while 7780 is off, and 7570 is something
else! Into S Texas SDR, 7780 is also off, but 9455 also inaudible!
while 7570 is TOMBS. Sked is totally upmixed, claiming WOR at 2330
Sunday be on 7570 only.
Also confirmed UT Monday April 28 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into
Georgia SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday April 28 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast only,
while WBCQ 5130v has switched to music.
Also confirmed Monday April 28 at 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003,
by recording so 6160 not checked; at 2030, 3975 rates S9/+10; all into
UTwente. Next:

** U S A. 9930, Apr 28 at 2224, WTWW is S9+50/60 with TOMBS, also some
modulation audible on parasitic spurs 9917.1 & 9942.9, but no splatter
beyond; same huge signal on 9980 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15770, Apr 28 at 2219, S9+10/20 of dead air, or maybe trace
of mod? WRMI-9 is supposed to be R. Taiwán Internacional on System H
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7780, Apr 28 at 2333 check, WRMI-13 is still off, like it
was yesterday when WOR might have aired. Xmtr skedgrid shows on air
only at 00-04, which could be currently correct. For months it had
been coming up at 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1590, Apr 28 at 0634 Mexmx and ID as ``Ambiente Clásico
Radio``, so it`s WCGO Evanston IL, as heard last September 3 at 0707.
It`s not 100% with this slogan, nor even 100% Spanish; and surely my
unID of Apr 22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 9960, Apr 28 at 0559, JBA carrier so RV is back on. Ron
Howard replied to my yesterday report of its offness: it seems that
VBTC is notified about outages by him before any one of the 335,169
Vanuatuans!
``Hi Glenn - Here is the reply to my email (received 2144 UT, April
27) and my subsequent log:
"Hi Ron, Thank you for that. If you have time today can you check
again please.

- - - - - - My remote log via NZ: April 27, at 2158 UT, heard Radio
Vanuatu on 9960, back on the air again; Whitney Houston singing "Where
Do Broken Hearts Go" and weather report; was in French at 2215. Nice
to have them back again, and am grateful that he always seems able to
fix whatever the problem is in a timely manner. Emailed him back,
confirming reception. Ron, Monterey, Calif.``
And follows up the next day April 28: ``Hi Glenn - Noticed Radio
Vanuatu at 0702 UT, now on 3945. Ron`` so switching again 0658/0659

UNIDENTIFIED. 660.83 approx., Apr 28 at 0252 UT, JBA carrier hetting
660.0 stations. Local or DX? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 771 kHz, Apr 28 at 0247 UT, JBA carrier making het with
770.0, KKOB or whatever. Another Cuban anomaly, like 1141? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1200 kHz, Apr 28 at 0627 UT, praise music in English
overcomes WOAI. NRC AM Log most likelies: WMUZ Taylor MI U4 50/15 kW;
KFNW West Fargo ND U4 50/13 kW. Both with totally northward night
lobes, but KFNW has a lesser daytime lobe southward (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, Apr 28 at 0622 UT, mention in English of ``630
CJAB`` sounds like. There is no CJAB on 630 or anywhere on MW, maybe
CHED? But no Canadians on 1590. May have been something else
completely, commercial, not callsign. This was just before WCGO log in
Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
