Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, April 5 at 0150 into Brasila SDR, the token English segment from RNB is back instead of SBG preëmptions, but it`s a repeat of the first airing on April 1, part 1 of the interview about Pará. Note IDs for this as RNB, i.e. via RNA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, April 6 at 0147 into Brasila SDR, only S7/S9, RNA playing music until 0200, NO RNB English/Spanish and no sports and no explanation. Is it done for, or just when they get around to it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, April 6 at 0310, RHC happens to be on the air, S9+30/40 but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC. See also UNIDENTIFIED 12000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9790, April 6 at 0316, S9+30 of English, I think, JBM as the pointless CRI relay is prolonged. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 15180, April 6 at 0313, S9/+10 but noisy, at first thought maybe Romanian, but it`s stilted Spanish, as to be expected from VOK as scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6945 AM, April 6 at 0323, JBA carrier, S9+10 = noise level. Only one other report of this, as unID at 0324: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,143169.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.9 AM, April 6 at 0324, pirate music S9+20. These say it`s Liquid Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,143162.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15500, Friday April 4 at 2158 and later, token English from SNR is *still* absent from its new NAm frequency, but from 2200 audible on 15520 for ME and S8+10 equally sufficient 17715 for S America. Also detectable on 15390 for Africa. Something`s notright at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15389.992, Saturday April 5 at 2225, REE check into Maryland SDR: S4/S5, quite unusually, best signal on the frequency for Africa! 15500 for NAm STILL AWOL. Something`s never nominal at Noblejas. 15520 for ME only a trace, not sure if it`s something else. 17715.012 for SAm at S3/S5. No English today, of course. I don`t usually bother with precise frequencies for REE as they are within 10 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 4 at 2158 and various chex both direct and into UTwente later in the hour, NO signal from VOT English, nor on possible overrun alternates 9870/9875. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.003+, April 5 at 2216, VOT English not off the air, S9+15/20 into UTwente, but modulation problems! Undermod and fluxuating. Same into Maryland SDR, which also has ACI from 11780 Brasil. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7275, April 6 at 0322, VOT not off the air, but INTRUDING into American hamband, awry at Ankara; S9+30/40 with Turkish music, modulation OK now, and VP on 6165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2289 monitoring: confirmed Friday April 4 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 but as usual undermodulated; also with some splatter from 9930 WTWW. Missed checking Fri Apr 4 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975; anyone? Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1430 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001+, S8/S9 into UTwente with no CCI or ACI but something much weaker on 6155, probably CRI Kashgar in Russian. Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1600 on WRN North America stream. Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1730 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.000+, S9+10 into UTwente but with ACI from 6165 CRI English, Beijing site to ME, and Rttyditty circa 6164. Same time on 3975.001, however, VG clear S9/+10. Also confirmed Saturday April 5 *ending* at 1931.3 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+18 into nearby SDR, so the 1930v started very early about 1903 UT. Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1930 on WRN North America stream. Still NOT confirmed Sat Apr 5 at 1930 on WRMI webcast only, despite still showing on System B schedule; really something else. Confirmed UT Sunday April 6 at 0344 UT on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20 into nearby SDR until finished at 0353, so started circa 0325. There was too much storm noise earlier direct for me to detect me. Next: 1030 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1900 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW and/or 7780 to SW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975. Financial support appreciated for our non-commercial public service program: thanks for a contribution via check on a US bank from Moises Corilloclla, Rego Park NY, to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 10003, April 4 at 2204, scratchy spur from 9930 WTWW which hits S9+60; matches the TOMBS modulation peaks on a second receiver, not the TOMBS mod on 9980 WWCR which is also on but never synchronized. Like my previous obs on the lower side of 9930, i.e. plus/minus very roughly 80 kHz; except the high side is more diffuse. It can also be heard bothering 9955 WRMI, during undermodulated WOR. 10003 also threatens WWV. An hour later George and I discussed these; he could not hear the spurs, and by now they were weaker for me. Unfortunately, Ted kept the WTWW spectrum analyzer. 9930 also flanked by the stable spurcarriers circa 9917 & 9943, not such a problem for neighbors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Apr 4 at 2350 into NH SDR: 3265, 5130 OFF. 6160 algo VP S6/7, else with dittering QRM. 7489.925, S9+15/20 with FKB. 9330 only S7/9+15 with music. As usual, 5130- autocutson at *2355 with IS & ID loop, S9+10, but drops to S7 a few times, from transmission or reception? At 0000 UT Sat Apr 5, 5130 & 7490- join for WTO theme of `AAAWWW`, not quite yet 9330 but soon also. Now I`m listening better via Maryland SDR. His first overwords are ``No matter what, it`s all about the freedom``. 0003 discussing microphoniums. Then Cold War, Communism, etc., etc. 0031 says from studio in Fla, 77 degrees, 65% humidity. Apologies for air-conditioning, which Angela dislikes. 0036 and 0040 playing music. 0045 trimulcasting on 9, 7 and 5; 0052 datestamp but I was distracted and missed it; think it must have been new and current. 0053 some email including one politically incorrect (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7780 at 0631 April 5, WRMI-13 is off again vs some noise circa 7778; and at 0635 check, 5010 WRMI-14 is also off. Apparently a schedule change, not anomaly, despite no updating to skedgrid showing both until 1500*. And not a transmitter problem, as both 7780 & 5010 are heard normally earlier in evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265, April 5 at 0622, WINB is still on with gospel huxter, more TOMBS? Not // 5850 WRMI. At 0632 it`s ``Walking in Simplicity`` with Bro. Steven. Anomaly or deliberate extension? Yet another station with a program schedule they don`t keep up to date with what axually airs! Dated March 9, obviously to account for imposition of DST, yet still shows a 5- rather than 4-hour difference between ET and UT! After all these years they can`t cope accurately with time changes. Anyhow, still shows off the air every night from midnight until 2:04 pm - except Sundays back on already at 6:04 am. And `Walking in Simplicity` is already on sked Sat at 4:30 pm > presumably 2030 UT instead of ``2130``. No info about it under Pgminfo. Broad websearch connects that motto with https://harvestchurch.org.bw/ - yes, in Botswana but nothing about any broadcasts. WRTH page 595 shows WINB sales manager is Sally Spyker; guess Hans Johnson, ex-CumbreDX is no longer with WINB. In 2016 WRTH quick check, he was the sales/frequency manager. 2025 WRTH shows besides 1 x 50 kW transmitter they have 1 x 15 kW. Were they ever on two frequencies at once, even during DRMing? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5935, 5890, 4840, April 6 at 0320 & 0325, all possible WWCRs are OFF, probably due to storms, but neighbor in more ways than one, 5920 WTWW is S9+50 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1540 kHz, April 6 at 0334 UT, Spanglish adstring for numerous events, concerts later in April, May, mentions San Antonio; and income tax ad at 927-1040 on S. Willow? St., 830 area code for a strawberry festival, which = Eagle Pass, Del Rio, approaching San Antonio, so I conclude this be KEDA. Trouble is, a big het on the minus side, about 1539.95, which is surely KGBC Galveston, but I`m only hearing one audio. KEDA is U4 5/1 kW, with very unfavorable night pattern to the WNW, but daypat circa-circular per radio-locator; while the NRC Pattern Book 2013 shows similar day to night, just larger (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7200 LSB, April 5 at 0624, song S9, apparently from a recording, then naughty ham attempting to sing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, April 6 at 0310, algo S5/S7 with flutter, JBM? Suspect it`s 2 x 6000 RHC which happens to be on now JBM and is a known harmonicizer; however, Aoki & EiBi show there happens to be one real 12000 station this hour only, CRI English via Kasghar = Kashi-Saiba, East Turkistan to S Asia; standard denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0505 UT April 6 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
