** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, June 22 at 1536, first check for LRA36
this Wednesday: NO signals into three Argentina, one Uruguay and four
Brasil SDRs. Could it have come and gone already, or not at all today?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4924.8, June 22 at 0647, no signal from Tefé, relaying
Aparecida or not. That reactivation was only briefly (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9673.30V, June 22 at 0255, R. Voz Missionária straying
further than ever from nominal 9665. Via Campo, Brasil SDR, hard to
pinpoint but if tuned to 9673.30, S4/S6, carrier offset fluxuates
between +78 and +128 Hz. Then tuned to 9673.40, fluxuates +40 to minus
57 Hz. 0406 recheck same tuner, 9673.30 plus 10 to 26 Hz.

Direct at 0635 June 22: 9635.318V, S6/S9 hetting something weaker on
9675.0, presumably a non-jammer CNR1 Beijing.

Wolfgang Büschel had reported earlier June 21: ``ZYE890 R. Voz
Missionária, Camboriú SC. Web player 9673.290 kHz centered 2306 UT,
up 10 to 30 Hertz shift on 9673.300 kHz
<https:www.radiovozmissionaria.com.br>
And web player via URL
https://www.radiovozmissionaria.com.br/radio/?w=janela
[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]
(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews June 21)``

Later, June 22 at 1540, finding no Antarctica, my Campo is still tuned
to 9673.00, with a good S9+15 of RVM music, +227/243 Hz offset
fluxuating less than before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 6030, June 22 at 0645, some talk JBA under
wallofnoise Cuban jamming otherwise against nothing. Seems emphatic
and possibly English, as a gospel huxter, but more likely comedian on
CFVP Funny 1060. Why in the world doesn`t CKMX get a change to a
clearer SW frequency? Such things are unthinkable to domestic oriented
broadcasters. On 6030 not only Radio Martí and consequent excessive
jamming, but per Aoki also problematic at least during our night
hours: CNR1 DRM Beijing, Ethiopia; possibly borderline India, Myanmar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, June 22 at 1410+, this RHC transmitter is really
haywire now; instead of two main spurblobs equally displaced above and
below, I`m hearing blobs all over the band coming and going, best
recognized by the F# tone when tuned in FM mode even if any
recognizable talk modulation lax: and they are very broad/wide so
frequencies cited are more approx. than ever: 13792, 13748, 13652,
13602, 13628. Another check at 1453: 13635, 13662, 13730, 13767,
13798, 13829-13832, 13864, 13900. Now fundamental 13700 is S9+10/20.
Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. Re my last reports of no signal from 9440 R. Cairo English,
Alan Holder replies on the WOR iog June 22:

``[WOR] Radio Cairo back on air --- I listen out for them every day.
The last broadcast in any language was on June 16. It's unusual for
them to be off air for such a long period. I sent an e-mail to their
Propagation Department on June 21, asking whether they have abandoned
short wave.

I haven't received a reply yet, but I notice that today they are back
again on 9410 at 1600 in Albanian. The distortion is still there
accompanied by the usual loud hum. I will listen tonight to see if
English reappears at 2115. [did it? missed checking here -gh]

The second transmitter (no hum, but severe distortion) which was used
for Turkish, Russian and French (9900, 9870 and 9810) has been off air
for 7 weeks. [Later, at 1752: The second transmitter on tonight with
Turkish at 1700 on 9900 after a long absence. Low level modulation
with some distortion as before.]

Recently, there were a number of consecutive days when the English
programme was heard with perfect audio, but the transmitter hum made
listening very tiring.

With 9 transmitters on site, they must be able to fire up one of the
others, or if not working, they could cannibalize them for spare parts
for the two that are operational. It is likely that the technicians
lack the expertise to undertake any serious repair work on their
ageing transmitters. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185, June 22 at 0643, no signal from XEPPM --- but had
reactivated yesterday. Off now because per Manuel Méndez, Spain, they
signed off at 0502, which was the original schedule before they
started staying on all night. Misleading ``100 kW`` power refers to
day signal on MW 1060 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, June 22 at 0644, still no signal from VON. Have not
seen any reports of this nor 11770- for some weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. Re my log on 15170+, Ivan Zelenyi replies June 21 on
HCDX: ``These are my little observations of the radio broadcasting of
Saudi Arabia: on June 17 from 0400 UT at a frequency of 15170 kHz
there was a program “Radio Saudi International” in Urdu. On the same
day from 1600 on the frequency of 9885 kHz there was a program “Radio
Saudi International” in Urdu. Also “Radio Saudi International” in
Indonesian is received on 9675 kHz instead of Turkish programs. I have
not heard programs in Pashto, Farsi, Tajik and Uzbek for a long time
either`` --- thus it appears that its scheduling is very erratic or
there have been major changes as yet not compiled. The 15170 broadcast
was supposedly nothing but Arabic Qur`an 0300-0600. WRTH 2022 had Urdu
only at 1200-1500 on 13775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2143 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday June 22
from 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490, S7/S9 with storm crashes, -70 Hz into
Maryland SDR = 7489.930; exact time correlated with WWV on same SDR.
Direct at 2128, JBA as usual in summer. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455? to WNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW

For these noncommercial services, voluntary financial support is much
appreciated, thanks this week to Joe Caberlin, VE1EJ, Ontario for some
US$ to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, 4980 & 4975, June 22 at 0648, WRMI-8 and WRMI-4 are
off the air --- but not an outage, rather deliberate schedule change
per skedgrid now dated June 21: WRMI-4 still shown as 4980 but NO
broadcasts for 24 hours; WRMI-8 on 5950 which had been 24h, is now
shown 19-04 UT only. There may have been some other reduxions.

This leaves TOMBS overnight with ONLY 5800, 5850, 7570, 7780, 9395,
9955 from WRMI; 6160- from WBCQ; 3215, 4840 when not dead air, 5890
from WWCR. Ten frequencies, o my! So hard to choose which ones to
avoid. Well, eleven, including the WWCR leapfrog on 5980, several more
if including the bonus 9955 spurs. 9455 WRMI still on with SMTV at
0648 but distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, June 22 at 2129, no signal from WRMI-9, which is
still scheduled 11-02 UT including VOA Flashpoint Ukraine at 1930 M-F.
Elsewhere on 19m band, VOA Grimesland Bambara inbooming at S9+30; NZ
15720 also audible and 15825 WWCR JBA as usual without Es boost; altho
K-index is 3. Also as usual, WRMI-7 Radio Africa 21525 is still a JBA
carrier at 2124 despite nominal 2100*. Something`s odd at Okeechobee
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, June 22 at 2136, WMLK S7/S8 with gospel huxter, yawn;
300 kW?? Slightly weaker than 50 kW neighbor WINB 9265 at S6/S9 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, June 22 at 2122 UT check, KLEY Wellington KS still
dead air on groundwave (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 22 at 0639, RV S7/S9 with drumming concluding
the public-announcements segment, into a song; JBA on 7890, third and
second harmonix of 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10121.30 USB, June 22 at 0655, 2-way contacts. If hams,
supposedly only Australia allows phone on this band; but certainly not
in English, unrecognized language, so intruders? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
