** U S A [and non]. As of April 10: From an anonymous reliable source
about the USAGM situation: Except for possibly Grimesland/Greenville
with R. Marti, no SW or MW broadcasts are expected to resume anytime
soon. All of USAGM`s engineers and operational personnel positions
have been dissolved. Most of them have opted for deferred resignation
rather than being terminated. Unfriendly powers such as Russia/USSR,
China, North Korea, Iran et al. could not get rid of VOA and the other
services, but now our own government has accomplished that in just a
few weeks, thanks to Drumpf & Musk & Lake. RIP the 83 years of US
international radio history since VOA was founded in 1942 (Glenn
Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2290)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2289 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday April 10 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+5 direct vs S9 noise level

Also confirmed Thu Apr 10 at 1630 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001+,
S9/+10 into UTwente. ACI de 6164 RTTYditty, evitable by narrowing

** BRAZIL. 11780, April 9 at 0150 tune-in via local ``Brasila`` SDR,
but only S8/9+5, RNB English already underway, still about Pará, Belém
tourism, open air market, museums, something this November.
Voice-under remains audible. 0154 outro English, switch to Spanish as
part 4 of this subject, interview with the Secretary of Culture. 0158
closing in Portuguese, and s/off RNA on 11780 & 6180, referring to web
and 980, as this stays on the air a bit more starting `Madrugada
Nacional` show, but promoting another show at 8 am.

``Glenn --- re Rádio Nacional's English/Spanish segment. Monday
(Tuesday UT) was not a repeat of the prior week. This was an interview
with a black actress and filmmaker from the state of Pará.
Unfortunately I could not make out her name. I find these segments to
be interesting and I hope they lead to more and longer form segments à
la RadioBrás. The only downside is the announcer's accent, a bit
challenging at times, but that is a minor concern.
My local recording {14 minutes} is at:
http://www.popshopradio.ca/20250408_0149_UT_11780_khz_Brazil_Rádio_Nacional_da_Amazônia_English_Spanish.mp4
Tony Pavick, Hope BC Canada`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 11880, April 9 at 0127, NO signal from KBS World
Radio in Spanish, which moved to Woofferton after Greenville was
closed down. Not a matter of propagation from Europe, as Romania is OK
S7/S9 on 11620. Now what? O, 11880 is missing from EiBi by frequency;
but still in EiBi by time as via G-w = Great Britain Woofferton.
Missing from both versions of KBSWR`s own A25 schedule (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MALI. 11975 // 13630, April 9 at 2205, French both S7/S9, CRI at
2130-2230  via Bamako aimed diversely: 20 degrees to CIRAF 37 = MW
corner of Africa; and 111 degrees to CIRAF 53 = Madagascar & mainland,
respectively per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6184.95, April 9 at 0650, XEPPM with S7 of dead air. Being
back on air hardly matters if it doesn`t modulate. This was often a
problem before the quadriweek hiatus. Perhaps no one minds the SW
store after midnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 17715, April 9 at 2115, this RNE is the OSOB
direct at S9+30/40 except for JBA carrier from NZ 17675. All 4 are on,
also: 15500 S9+20/30, 15520 S9+10/20, 15390 S6/9+10. About the same by
2200 token English, 2209 feature about a collexion of algo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.006-, April 9 at 2200, VOT not off the air,
timesignal 2 sex late compared to WWV, s/on English as if it`s 1230 on
17620, awry at Ankara, S7/S9 and noisy not really solid. At 2221 into
UTwente when measured, S9/+10, still unsolid. 2254 s/off, 2255 first
notes of IS only one sesquitime before chop, no finesse, uncovering
rapid clickery QRM of some sort. At least there`s no Chinese
understation like on 5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 379 MCW kHz, April 9 at 0614, ND beacon listed as RUE, in
Russellville AR, however for past sesquiyear has been sending only RU.
Now the second letter sounds more like an S than a U -- the final dah
is almost brief enough to be a dit! Progressive decline? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2289 monitoring: ``Richard Lemke,
St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, from the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF (30 years of service), Antenna: random
long wires in the trees. WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2289, 9395 kHz,

conditions WOR #2289, broadcast needs to be switched 0230, 9395
kHz. April 8 UTC 2025 [Tue] (Lemke, Richard -AB)``

Confirmed Tuesday April 8 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland
SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday April 8 at 2338 the 2330 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003+, S7/9+5 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday April 9 at 1930 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.002+, S9+10 into UTwente; and on 6165.001+, S9+10 into UTwente
but with RTTYditty circa 6164.

Also confirmed Wednesday April 9 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -77 Hz =
7489.923, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. At 2114 direct, JBA S9+10 vs S9
noise level. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975.

** VANUATU. 9960, April 9 at 0652, RV reactivated here, island music
and nothing on 7260 which I check every night around this time.
Somewhat better signal now, S6/S7 direct and 9955 WRMITOMBS not a
problem. 9960 chops off abruptly during music at 0658:14*. I retune to
7260 but never shows there, so where? No signal on 5040. But there is
a JBA carrier on 3945 by 0700! I had not even been checking that on
the assumption it would not be audible direct so early. But Port Vila
sunset today is 0641 UT, so it is certainly possible. Earliest SS in a
bimonth will be 0619. Unfortunately, 3945 still failing to harmonicize
on 7890, 11835 or 15780. NSB/Nikkei, Japan on 3945 is no longer listed
in WRTH, EiBi nor Aoki, tho IIRC it came back on briefly for a special
event. Only Vanuatu listed on 3945. Of course there could also be
spoiler hAMs or even pirates (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, April 8 at 1537 and various other times during
the next few hours, via remotes in Bermuda, Illinois, Maryland, NO
signal from CHR, Trenton Military; nor direct at random chex for a few
days including 1456 April 8. Evidently turned off after months of
nothing but ``no reports received``, duh. Also check at night for 6754
USB. This misbehaviour pattern has happened time and again, eventually
to resume with some reports received (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1549.815, April 8 at 0250, into Durango2 SDR, aside 1550
pileup of weak signals, on H2Ofall, a JBV trace at this previously
measured carrier, which is also JBA, but far too weak for any audio;
XEREL Morelia presumed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185 -33 Hz = 6184.967, April 8 at 0248, R. Educación
reactivated, whew, and again off-frequency minus, S9/+12 into Durango2
SDR, tnx tip from Ron Howard. Music until 0300 full ID for XEPPM on
6185, so not a MW simul at this time, ``a las 03 horas, vamos con las
noticias, ¡adelante!`` Had been off since at least March 12. Probably
all-night again with 1060 relay after 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, April 8 at 2232 check, REE frequency to N America is
finally  back on the air, but if it`s Tuesday there must be no English
at 2200. Into Illinois SDR S8/9+10, better than 15520 for ME, and JBA
15390, 17715. Into Maryland SDR, 15500 is S9+20, 15520 S9+10, 15390
S7/S9, 17715 S5/S7. Now, how about M/W/F? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 8 at 2225, VOT not off the air, fair with
music direct. Into Maryland SDR, S9/+20, but somewhat heavy ACI from
11780 Brasil. Mostly music, except 2239 ``always-by-your-side promo``.
2252 or so headlines of the olds, 2254 s/off as if 1230 on 17620, awry
at Ankara, and IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs, erroneous at
Emirler. Off by 2259* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWAZILAND. 11880, April 8 at 1458, tinkling music box IS of TWR,
and English ID as from Eswátini, SSOB S6 except for 12160 WWCR signing
on at 1459. EiBi shows Somali at 1500-1530, Sundays to 1545 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 385 MCW kHz, April 8 at 0619 UT, ND beacon HO. Believe never
heard before. Nothing else beyond JBA regulars. RNA list shows 50
watts at `Hossy` Hot Springs AR, ``HO 385 HOSSY - Hempwallace, AR,
serving rwy 05 at Memorial Field Apt - Hot Springs``. Perhaps turned
on only when requested? But it`s a bit late for much air traffic
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2289 monitoring April 6-7: ``Hi
Glenn, Sunday at 2330 UTC World of Radio was also on 9455 besides
7780. At 0830 Monday heard on SW Radio 6160. Peter W Hansen`` Tnx! So
now 9455 is the `extra` frequency instead of 7570 on WRMI.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday April 8 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+5/10 into
Durango2 SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday April 8 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct.
Again at 1400 on 9955, S7/S9 and much less readable.

I wasn`t listening, but World of Radio confirmed in Germany by
Hansjoerg Biener: ``250408 7290 1835 0804 ROM IRRS, E, Gl. Hauser’s
World of Radio 35433 HjBi - Thank you for your continued contribution
to the hobby``, i.e. during the SW hour of IRRS now ex-7275. Program
sked shows nothing in particular at this time, so maybe random filler
but I`ve asked them if we can rely on it now.

Also confirmed Tuesday April 8 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.997-, S9 into UTwente. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
