** ASCENSION. 6135, Apr 7 at 0558, presumed Hausa as BBC scheduled
0529-0600, 125 kW at 65 degrees. Similar signal on 6195, which is ENC
at 250 kW, 65 degrees to CIRAF 46SE in Kau, per HFCC. What that really
is, per EiBi: R. Ndarason International targeting Chad in Kanuri. That
would be 47NW, while 46SE = Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Tue April 8 at 0149, S9+10 into local Brasila
SDR, another RNB/A international service segment, first in English
billed as about a climate conference coming in November in Belém,
Pará, part 1 of an interview with a woman who says she is black, and a
cinema actress. Voice-over translation but the underguese is JBA. 0154
ID in English, Portuguese, same in Spanish; over at 0158 for full ID
in PP. Is this a different episode than the first one a week ago? I
did not check for it UT Mon Apr 7 after info that this would be on M-F
only = UT Tue-Sat, minus any stupid ballgame pre-emptions (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28470 USB, April 7 at 2224, PU3KTM calling CQDX, among many
other deep S Americans on 10m. QRZ.com: ``PU3KTM Brazil flag Brazil,
Luis Pazinato, Rua Baltazar de Bem 338, Caçapava do Sul, RS 96570000, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 770, April 7 at 0607, YL in Spanish, instead of KKOB or
WABC. No UStations on 770 are SS, so most likely 25/1 kW XEACH
Monterrey NL, among 3 other XEs in IRCA log: only one 24h, not silent
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, April 7 at 1904, still NO signal from Noblejas REE to
N America; but 17715 to SAm is S7/S9; 15520 ME JBA; 15390 Af JBA
carrier. At 2214 check for token English on Mon, 15520 is now S9/+20,
much better than 17715 S8/S9, and 15390 S6/S9.

Could SNR have moved 15500 to another fq for NAm? A number of
alternates are in HFCC for A25, we need to check at least cursorily:
9690 & 17855, which of course have been used in previous seasons; and
15110 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9875.005+, Sun Apr 6 at 2046, VOT English eastward rates
S9+25/30 backward into UTwente, with `Pulse of Turkey`s Foreign
Policy` until 2052 music; 2056 `Letterbox`, she says it`s a bit short,
email has been slow. I can never catch full names of writers, but at
least countries: 1) W Bengal, India. 2) W Sussex, England. 3) Chris,
Canada. 4) Lithuania. 5) Pakistan. 2107 fill with closing folk song,
tune-out. So repeats if on air should start at 2226, Monday 0356.
Modulation fading may be caused by AMSynch tuning at UTw as it seems
OK in regular AM mode.

11785.007+, Sun Apr 6 at *2201, cuts on late with olds in progress,
S9+50 into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Not
monitored again until 2253 s/off as if 1230 on 17620: something`s
always awry at Ankara; 2254 IS, 2256 restart IS until 2258*.
Traditionally includes extraneous German IDs after 2256 whether or not
extraneous German broadcast follow, but my attention lapsed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 7 at 2213 check, VOT English not off the air,
S9/+20 direct but noisy. Also not on the air after 2256 in German
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 5870-5875-5880, April 7 at 0557, DRM noise at S9+10. HFCC
shows 0459-0600 100 kW, 78 degrees from Woofferton with BBC in English
to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 404 MCW kHz, April 7 at 0632 UT, JBA ND beacon, HJ or HV?
No, must be HU, HUtchinson KS, 25 watts, rarely audible despite

Also confirmed Sunday April 6 at 2330 on WRMI 7780, S6/S8 into Georgia
SDR, but NOT on WRMI 7570 which continues moanin` `n` groanin` from

for 7570, and 7780 unaccounted for in any individual System sked at

** U S A. 9265, UT Mon April 7 at 0552, WINB is off as scheduled,
unlike UT Sat Apr 5 when it was on past 0630. I think it was also off
April 6 but not specifically un/logged (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 560, April 7 at 0600, ``Springfield, all-new KWTO`` and Fox
``news`` which might have been CCI. So what`s new about it???
Presumably meaningless blather. Please show exactly what was old and
done away with? Originally meant, a back-formation? ``Keep Watching

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;

** 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)

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)

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)

** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, now we have more details about RNB English &
Spanish:

``Rádio Nacional da Amazônia Launches Spanish and English Programs
---
On March 31, 2025, Rádio Nacional da Amazônia took an important step
in its programming by introducing an International Service aimed at
listeners from other countries who follow the station through its
shortwave broadcasts.

With a duration of 10 minutes, the program is divided as follows: five
minutes in English, followed by five minutes in Spanish. It is
broadcast Monday through Friday, from 10:50 PM to 11:00 PM Brasília
time — equivalent to 01:50 AM to 02:00 AM Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC) — on frequencies of 6,180 kHz (49-meter band) and 11,780 kHz
(25-meter band).

On days when sports are broadcast, the program will not air. The
production and presentation are led by journalist Ana Pimenta.

According to Sérgio Dória Partamian from the DX Clube do Brasil, “this
is a commendable initiative, as the station, which is primarily
domestic in nature, focuses mainly on serving the Brazilian audience,
especially the isolated communities in the Amazon.”

However, “by reserving a space, albeit a short one, for international
listeners, Rádio Nacional da Amazônia not only expands its reach but
also strengthens cultural ties with neighboring nations and even with
more distant countries that express interest and appreciation for
Brazilian culture,” Partamian states.

For the DX Clube do Brasil, this initiative reinforces the value of
shortwave radio as a means of communication capable of crossing
borders, delivering information and entertainment to regions where
access to the internet and other media is still limited.

Reception reports can be sent to:
Empresa Brasil de Comunicação
Rádio Nacional da Amazônia
SCS Quadra 8, Bloco B, 50/60 1º SS
Venâncio Shopping, Brasília DF

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, April 6 at 0632, for the record, HK3QQ is still
doing its crazy thing, often heard on bandscans but not bothering to
re-log, i.e. letters in keyboard order with several errors or
omissions, starting with QWETYUIOX... and ending with BOGOTA COLOMBIA
73. QRZ.com page ignores this, only: ``HK3QQ Colombia flag Colombia,

Is that ever heard on 7070? I have been hearing 10125 for *years*, but
have *never* seen a log by anyone else. Seems I ``own`` this, hi.

On Aug 20, 2023, I got this, and I now repeat it: ``Dear Glenn,
according to the official colombian registry of colombian hams, Rabca,
HK3QQ actually doesn't have a valid license. He had one but finished
in november 2021. Yesterday I heard that Mr. Ernesto Reyes reporting
to the Colombian  Fraternity net on 7.145 khz USB at about 22.30 UTC.
Sorry to have to inform that situation. Please keep my identification
confident.``

I have also checked the UDXF iog and find zero logs of it or anything
on 10125. O well, it`s ham so off-topic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 15590, April 6 at 1445, CRI English
S9/+5, the SSOB even exceeding 15770 WRMI at S7/S8. BUT with Doppler
flutter, i.e. frequency jiggling with BFO. This is one of countless
500 kW, 308 degree beams for Europe from Urumqi, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. 15575 KBSWR, direct
from Korea South is JBA despite targeting us, and also with Doppler
flutter. WWV reports:

``The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 06 April was 3.33.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor. Geomagnetic storms
reaching the G1 level occurred. Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level
occurred`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 800 kHz, April 6 at 0645, very heavy distortion QRM to KQCV
OKC and anything else, as previously traced to XEERG in Nuevo León.
Will this ever get fixed or demolished? Such incompetence! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1180, re my attempts to hear R. Martí via remote, Marathon
with 100 kW reportedly has been back on the air since March 26 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

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

** U S A. 7780 & 5010, April 6 at 0630, these WRMIs are OFF again, as
if deliberately contrary to own sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935, 5890, 4840, UT Sun April 6 at 0628, all WWCRs are
still OFF, like 3 hours before, presumably due to storms. By next
check 1448, 13845 on at S9+20, 7490 at S9+30, but 9980 JBA carrier,
else? Nothing else is ever on 9980 per EiBi, Aoki, HFCC.  WWCR-4 9980
is supposed to run straight thru 12-24 on Sat & Sun, tho off at 16-22
M-F - and tho dated April 1, WWCR own sked shows wrong relation
between Central and UTC of 6 hours instead of 5! After all these
years, WWCR still can`t cope with DST accurately. Presumably  program
times be correct in CDT as above if you ignore UTC column (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, April 6 at 0631, JBA signal is the OSOB = only
station on band, that is, among broadcasters, besides WWV. Cuba 5025
also off. Wolfgang Büschel measured it at 0330 on 4939.982, from
Colombia? Some still attribute Estación 4940 to Colombia, but it is
well established by now as Venezuela. Despite EiBi putting it in
Colombia, target Venezuela; that`s better than Aoki which ignores it
completely, leading some to listlog 4940 as R. San Antonio, Perú,
which hasn`t really been heard for many years! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.59 kHz, April 6 at 0644 UT, JBA carrier aside 810
WHB. Still hearing this mystery tho not every night. I challenge
anyone to ID it or at least DF/triangulate source (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17432-17463 approx., April 6 at 1442, multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating, peaking S7 around 17450. Have been hearing this
for long time; what is it? I recently gathered several other such logs
at different frequency ranges, posted to UDXF iog, asking if anyone
has any info about it? A single reply: ``Mike Chace-Ortiz Apr 3
#119371 The 48 kHz wide signals are one of the many sent by the
stations testing HF for High Frequency Trading. 73 —mco``

Well, this one was only 31 kHz wide. OK, they must be licensed by FCC
or equivalent. Any way to locate them? I also posted my other mystery,
open carriers ending in 6, surrounded by clickery: zero replies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
