** ARGENTINA. 28485 USB, Oct 20 at 2158, LU3HV calling CQDX,
Kalinsky(?), virtually the OSOB, not even beacons. QRZ.com: ``LU3HV
Argentina flag Argentina, JORGE OMAR HERNANDEZ,
ESQUIU 1024, RIO CUARTO (CBA) C.P. 5800 5800, Argentina`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 15145, Apr 20 at 2208 in routine bandscan, surprised to
hear Brasuguese here, weak S4/S7 direct, M&W discussion. Nothing
listed now on 15145. RHC should be in BB at this hour somewhere but
15140 is off and this is not their style. Then I check various remotes
which aren`t getting it much better, but soon find that it`s // 11780
RNA, and 22-23 is `A Voz do Brasil` hour which most/all stations have
to carry. Does not work out as a harmonic or spur; and the only ZY
known on 19m, Inconfidência, is still on its signature off-frequency
15188.88 into Bonaire. Can`t get a ToH ID at 2300 but into music and
more talk about futebol at 2319. The W4BF Melbourne FL is getting it
best S9/+10 altho with occasional QRhaM overload. Is correctly
calibrated vs WWV and this one is on 15144.982. At 2330 R. Nacional
sung ID and more talk still // 11780, so apparently Brasília itself.
2355 a bit of music; Apr 21 at 0001 full ID for R. Nacional on 980,
6180, 11780 and FM, but NOT THIS frequency! Shhh. By 0010 really
fading down and with QRMusic, maybe overload or part of programming.
Perhaps this will also emit token English at 0150. BTW there is no
BRAZIL entry in WRTH 2026 International pages; the few SW stations are
buried in the National sexion on page 132 between AM and huge FM
listings. Replies in the WOR iogroup:
``Audible here near Seattle at 2327 UTC with lots of fading and noise.
Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington``
``Thanks, Glenn, for the interesting alert! Heard via Bonaire KSDR
remote from 2350+ UT, April 20; recorded by bouncing back and forth

** CUBA. 670, Apr 20 at 0158, music, Spanish // 5025, so R. Rebelde,
and no sign of WSCR Chicago. 720, 780 and 890 are not showing much
either, auroral? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 1141.0 kHz, April 20 at 0454 UT and later, carrier hetting
1140 signals; not heard in quite a while but outstanding tonight
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, April 20 at 0136, RHC in Kriyol, S9+10/20 with
windhowl; also at 0140 on 9710, S9+20/30 no howl (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 9710, Apr 20 at 0450, RHC S5/S8 in Brasuguese, talk about
Tenerife. Well after local midnight, of course, in most of Brasil
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, Apr 20 at 1910, RHC English, Ed Newman with news;
Israel is conducting a ``genocidal war`` against Gaza, etc. S7/S9 into
Knoxville SDR, // 15140 S7/9+5 but sounds weaker and with windhowl;
1915 about Trump plans to take military axion against Cuba once
finished with Iran; Brasil, Spain and Mexico back Cuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 21280 USB, Apr 20 at 2203, CO2OQ calling QRZ, CQDX in
English, JBA; then working an HP1 in rapid Spanish; virtually the
OSOB. QRZ.com: CO2OQ Cuba flag Cuba, Osmany González Escobar, Avenida
Dolores #767 apto 4 e/ 15 y 16 Lawton, Havana 10700, Cuba`` and
HRDLOG.net at bottom confirms he was working HP1RY at 2203 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 13640, April 20 at 0133, CRI English S9/+10 with
``Takeaway Chinese`` promo = language lessons? and then `The World
Today` as if it`s the BBC, but host says he is in Washington DC! and
sounds almost American; lead stories Iran/Hormuz, shootings in
Louisiana. This is via Kashgar, which is further and norther than
western Europe but better than signals from there, if any. Also 13740
S5/S7 songs at 0136 but sounds as loud as 13640 and is also Kashgar
but Spanish for S America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALI. 5995, Apr 20 at 0608, ORTM is on, S6/S7 JBA direct, in
French? Also: ``Mali opening today, 20-04, at its usual time 0555. Log
in Lugo, NW of Spain: MALI, 5995, Radio Mali, Bamako, *0555-0632,

Vernacular, comments, more African songs, French, comments, program
"Au Chant du Coq". 35433. Manuel Méndez`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 550, Apr 20 at 0500, after Mexmx, ID for 91.3 FM & 550 AM,
with street address 473 something in Zona Centro, Chihuahua, so it`s
XEPL, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, supposedly only 150 watts night, 5000 day
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 640, Apr 20 at 0501, Spanish amid heavy QRM from KWPN OK,
KFI? Thought it might be Cuba, but mentions Chihuahua and plays
presumed state anthem. So XELOVE Ciudad Juárez, which may still ID as
XEJUA per IRCA Log. Night power unknown but 5 kW day (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, April 20 at 0125, pirate music S9/+10
direct. These say it`s WTF Radio Worldwide:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 AM, April 20 at 0126, JBA talk vs HSNL, S9/+10
direct but sounds much weaker than 6960. Many unID logs here, maybe
Sycko Radio at some point:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6850 USB, April 20 at 0127, jazzvocal pirate music,
S9+10/20 direct. Reported here as Radio 48 via MRI:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,162193.0.html
and also this: ``Radio 48 is coming in strong with an almost local FM
radio sounding audio quality and a quite wide 15 kHz USB signal. ID at
0115 UTC followed by an ad for worldofradio.com! Doug White, KA5ETS
Carrboro NC`` Really?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, April 20 at 0155 UT, KGWA Enid back on after missing
some days and nights (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 93.1, April 20 circa 2020 UT while visiting Box 1684 in
downtown Enid, dead air in mono, but soon lost as I drive away;
presumably an idle RF feeder in some parked vehicle, rather than sign
of a part 15 musicker. Soon the Kansan captures 93.1 (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 20 at 2157, VOT must be on with JBA carrier
direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

April 19 at 2017 the 2000 repeat on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995,

as soon as DJ says `gotta split`, having run already 2 minutes past
5130 -92 Hz = 5129.908 into VT SDR starting s/off. Said something
about ``Jimmy Nights``? and 4/20 day becoming something else. At 0257
tune-in someone with a heavy Cockney? accent.
Also confirmed Monday April 20 at *1945 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
6160.001+. I tuned in at 1926 to both that and 3975.002+, both S9/+10
into UTwente, but just as the German DX report was ending at 1929*
both dumped off the air! Recorded next semihour while I was out, and
6160 vs RTTYditty on plus side, evitable by bandwidth <8 kHz, finally
came back on about 1945 during WOR. Power failure? Next:

** U S A. 5850, April 20 at 0607, this WRMI is OFF, strange; while
5950 is ON S9/+10 direct but open carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4840, April 20 at 0512, or 0502? WWCR with squeal, gospel
huxter giving affiliate sked info in detail, now about WWCR on 3215,
1-2 pm CST = 2-3 pm EST! Which has been off the air for years, and
never on air in local afternoon! How can anyone believe their theology
when they make such gross errors about own broadcasts? website as
mygospelhighwayeleven.com from Church of Lord Jesus Christ of
Apostolic Faith, P O Box 5557? Philadelphia PA 19143. Broad search on
name leads to https://www.tcljc.com/broadcast.htm but no SW stations,
and slightly different address. WWCR sked shows it Mondays only at
05-06, another ministry Sat/Sun, and Worldwide Country Radio Tue-Fri.
If spelt mygospelhighway11.com there is a website, a ``station`` with
no frequencies of its own, lots of g.h. within but not this particular
program now. Logo for Highway 11 is an Interstate-like shield. The
real I-11 is only 50+ miles in NV & AZ with plans for expansion (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 660, April 20 at 0200, ending `RM World Travel` show from
SSI radio network, KSKY ID and SRN news. Haven`t heard in a while vs
KTNN or XEFZ. KSKY is U4 7200/600 watts in Balch Springs -- what an
ugly name -- or address in Irving TX, i.e. The Metroplex. There is no
SSI network on page 260 of NRC AM Log, nor searching KSKY website. Nor
is it the SSI of Social Security. Rudy Maxa is involved with the show:

KSKY has a major lobe thisaway, in fact Enid barely within the daytime
distant contour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA. 4940, April 20 at 0147, S9 signal = noise level,
presumed Estación 4940 reactivated. Also at 0606 music JBA S9/+10. Ron

``Hi Glenn - On April 20, from 0033 till tuned-out at 0105 UT, heard

UNIDENTIFIED. 6910 LSB, April 20 at 0126, 2-way in Spanish, commonly
