** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 19 at 1528, S3 roar of defective
transmitter. Wolfgang Bueschel is suggesting this could really be
Iranian jamming of the opposition`s Yemen relay, but I don`t think so.
Analyzing the ``audio strings``, if multiples of 60 Hz apart, would be
from Saudi, only ME country with 60 Hz power; if multiples of 50 Hz,
from elsewhere such as Iran
https://www.wpowerproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/global-voltage-frequency-chart.pdf
At 1730 Apr 18 he had strings at 120 Hz separations, which means not
Iran, rather Sa`udi Arabia with 60 Hz. All peripheral countries on the
Peninsula, such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE are 50 Hz.
On 11935 I never hear any mixture of program audio and roar, always
one or the other, but wb says: ``On April 19 at 05.20 UT heard both -
from Saudi Arabia excile Yemen Radio from Riyadh bcast center, a n d
likely Iran origin strong jamming stn co-ch program of 20 kHz wideband
signal, annoying jammer audio wb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Apr 19 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct
even on the portable unlike TRT; feature after news something about an
art exhibition minus any visual element (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11540, Apr 19 at 1526, S4/S5 of choral martial music, so
presumed jammer against Dengê Gel, which I do not find anywhere around
here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Apr 19 at 2200, VOT English on into portable but
poor with heavy flutter, unlike Spain 17855 over a less auroral path.
On R75 direct at 2206, S9/+20 with flutter, 2212 `Review of Turkish
Press` never more than one biminute; 2214 `Weekly Analysis` about Iran
vs Israel. 2230 into UTwente VG S9+10/20, no flutter at all, `Turkish
Folk Tales` until 2236 music; 2243 ``always-by-your-side`` promo and
`That`s Why`, the badax explaining why there are 60 minutes in an hour
and 24 hours in a day, but I couldn`t follow it. Here`s one answer:
Egyptians and Babylonians:

2249 music. 2254 quick headlines heard for the first time before
closing, as some listener had requested weeks ago, and sign-off for
the 1230 only. 2254.7 IS until chopoff at 2256.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U A E. 13649.983, Apr 19 at 1522, S5/S6 of dead air direct with
Doppler flutter like many other weak signals on this and other bands.
By 1529 some just barely modulation. 1557 into UTwente when measured,
sounds Russian, S9+15/20, 1600 timesignal and NHK IS, opening Russian
with ID pronounced in English as required, NHK World Radio Japan. This
is part of the 15-17 WRN service to Russia via UAE relaying various
broadcasters. At 1500-1530 it`s listed as R. Prague. Recheck 1659,
Encompass IS and off after 1700* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Pre-`AAAWWW` WBCQ check, Apr 19 at 2325 into NH
SDR: 3265 OFF. 5130.207 S7/S8 `ATATT`. 6159.930 S8/9+5 TOMBS moanin` &
groanin`. 7489.930 S9+10/20 FKB = note the offset match between 6 and
7 MHz channels, coincidence? 9330.000 S9+10/30 WLCS Portuguese.
Checking calibration of that rx on WWV 10000, reads less than 1 Hz
minus; but can hear RWM CW IDs off the side from 9996 at 2339. FKB
Radio Sermon Time = KB stands for Preacher Ken Buraczynski, so why
isn`t it PKB?
5130 joins AAAWWW a bit late after theme started, 0000 UT Sat Apr 20.
Seems like a new show, starts by plugging WBCQ-FM 94.7 for country
music. Various repairs, tasks at station, including fixing the 98.3
translator antenna. Angela is remote on phone, guess back in Fla. 0029
mentions 3265 among current frequencies, and date 19 April YOOLF 2024.
So I check it again: yes, now on 3265.172, S7/S9 into NH. Rants about
the stupidity of war. 0047 blames Pres. Biden for everything; why took
so long? A screw comes out of his glasses, falling apart, hard to read
emails. Runs over into Turner time as usual. A few mins later I
recheck 3265.172 and it`s off again. He wants a bigtime customer for
that frequency; did it never occur that might have more interest if
same transmitter weren`t stuck on such a low frequency? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** VATICAN [non]. 11700, Apr 19 at 1528 music to 1529*. EiBi shows at
1430-1530 is VR in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, via USAGM Tinang,
PHILIPPINES. Violating Separation of Church and State. USAGM thus
opens itself to demands for airtime by any and every non-RCC gospel
huxter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
