** CUBA. 15230, April 8 at 2219, RHC S9/+10 but mod sup/torted.
Unreadable, but intonation sounds Portuguese; 11760 not on for a
Spanish comparison, rather Chinese music fill in Portuguese
disservice. WRTH A24 update lax RHC PP at 22-23 on 15230 but is in
Aoki. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 28425 USB, April 8 at 2227, HI8AT making quick
yet friendly contacts; some guys do that even if no contest. QRZ.com:
``HI8AT Dominican Republic flag Dominican Republic, Julio Cesar Jose,
P O Box 951, Santo Domingo, D. N. 11101, Dominican Republic`` - only a
few phone sigs and beacons on 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15625, April 8 at 2224, rock? music S7/S9 with flutter. Aoki
shows this hour is Chinese from KSDA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, April 8 at 1930, presumed Rep. of Yemen Radio,
Arabic still going; into UTwente now has ACI from 11930 and AACI from
11925. That would now be Martí, and I guess VORW via France as sked
this hour Mondays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Apr 8 at 2208, token English from REE VG direct
tho some deep fading on the DX-390, feature today about manga/anime in
Spain. Not interested. However, further tuning on R75 found quite
sufficient signals on the other three, 15390 at S9+10; 15520 at
S9+10/20; 17815 at S9+10/20; 17855 at S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 8 at 2215, no signal direct from VOT English.
2230 I thought it had come on, rather bleed from 11780 Brasil in
bandwidth too wide. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE MW DX MONITORING, April 8, 2024 from
1830 past 1900 UT. This is very close to local mean noon here which is
always 1832 UT:

With city-to-city distances, approx., not site to receiver.
Mainly on the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398, internal ferrite
antenna only, on declining battery power and not especially sensitive.
From just outside the house facing south. But first:

1200 at 1832 on the R75 with N/S shortwire, JBA carrier, maybe two of
them. WOAI? next closest is 1 kW KYOO in Bolivar MO; bigsigs in IL &
ND unlikely. 1200 at 1848 faded up to VG level, 1849 network eclipse
coverage from east coast, recorded:
https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_WOAI_1200_20240408_1849.mp3
Got to be 50 kW WOAI San Antonio. Gone by 1905 check. 777 km/485 stmi

1560 at 1833, fringe KEBC, 1 kW Del City = OKC has some CCI. There are
several unexpected little stations in KS, MO and TX, but 46 kW KGOW
Bellaire [Houston] TX is my prime target, as its Vietnamese will be
unmistakable and unique. Despite its patterns, easily heard here at
night. Keeps growing past 1837, and by 1843 during totality in SE OK,
it`s loud and clear in VV, overcoming KEBC, recorded:
https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KGOW_1560_20240408_1843.mp3
Still in at 1855, another clip with some singing:
https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KGOW_1560_20240408_1855.mp3
1901 still dominant but declining. 1908 gone. 777 km/483 stmi

1620 at 1845, talk station mentions Texas; nothing earlier. Got to be
10 kW WTAW College Station. Not often heard here even at night. 658
km/409 stmi

1700 at 1845, SAH between two carriers; 1858 San Antonio ad, AC 210;
1859 fade before ID! Trouble is, neither TX is near San Antonio:
Brownsville and Richardson. NRC AM Log shows 5 kW KKLF Metroplex is
Spanish, Jalapeño Radio; still? But address in Corpus Christi, so
multi-station group? If it`s got to be English, that leaves much
further KVNS Brownsville, 8.8 kW listed as Fox Sports. Maybe both
unless Des Moines snuck in.
Richardson: 395 km/246 stmi; Brownsville: 1167 km/725 stmi

1530 at 1846, baseball talk in Spanish. Maybe just KXTD Wagoner/Tulsa
OK, but SS in TX are 50 KW KGBT Harlingen. More likely is the only
other TX, KZNX Creedmoor, 10 kW Spanish; and despite address way out
in El Paso, is really just south of Austin in the Eclipse zone. 701
km/436 stmi. Recorded:
https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KZNX_1530_20240408_1846.mp3

1480 at 1847, Spanish in mix, overcoming KQAM Wichita. Only SS in TX
is 5 kW KLVL Pasadena [Houston]. 785 km/488 stmi

1120 at 1850, religion in English vs Spanish from KETU Catoosa
[Tulsa]. Only TX on 1120 is religious 5.6 kW KTXW Manor [Austin],
separable. 674 km/419 mi

1110 at 1850, mixture in English. Primary is 50 kW KVTT Mineral Wells
[Plano, Metroplex] listed Asian format. Only other TX is 5 kW KTEK
Alvin [Houston], religious. 813 km/505 stmi. KFAB Omaha can have
remnant daytime signal, doubtful now.

990 at 1851, Spanish religion, surely 7 kW KFCD Farmersville [Dallas].
Not trans- but within Totality; more signal than should be in daytime.
385 km/239 stmi

870 at 1852, SAH of about 7 Hz looping SE. Hoping for WWL! The only TX
is 1 kW KFJZ Fort Worth. They fit! MWoffsets in 2023 and 2024
measurements has WWL on 869.9928 and KFJZ on 869.9991, i.e. 6.3 Hz. My
count-the-fades-per-second method was a tossup between 6 and 7. Gone
by 1905 check. WWL: 1019 km/633 stmi. Recorded:
https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_WWL_KFJZ_870_20240408_1852.mp3

1710 at 1857, steady open carrier, local? Not noticed before, maybe a
TIS or Talking House.

1680 at 1900, gospel/CW music loops NW/SE. Got to be 10 kW KRJO Monroe
LA. 683 km/424 stmi

1510 at 1902, traffic and WLAC IDs with 98.3, Nashville! Unexpected,
way off the angle expected for trans-Eclipse propagation to here. 995
km/618 stmi

1530 at 1903, English ads from ENE, 1905 ``ESPN 1530`` so WCKY
Cincinnati/KY, likewise! 1212 km/753 stmi. These two were also
reported during the TSE from east/south of them.

Also checked 600 several times, clear frequency locally, for 5 kW KTBB
Tyler TX, but no sign of it. Of course highband worx much better. I
also looked for KBEL 1240 in Idabel OK where there were loads of
visitors in OK`s small Totality corner, not really expecting to hear
my most distant 240-mile Okie never logged, and did not: just the
usual fringemix of Elk City and Wichita.

Since Allan Weiner made such a big deal of the TSE, I thought there
might be live coverage on WBCQ. But after 1900, 7490 & 6160 webcasts
were ordinary stuff, gospel huxter and music.

Meanwhile, visual DX: glimpsed the eclipse several times thru ISO
glasses, which sure don`t want to fit inside, or outside my
spectacles.
https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_at_Enid_thru_cheap_filter_20240408.jpg

There were some fleeting clouds but mostly clear. Not enough leaves on
the trees yet for multiple crescent projexions; could see some thru
pinholes. We witnessed the 2017 TSE in Nebraska, so decided to avoid
the trouble, crowds and expense this decade, but enjoy it from home.
Also noted local F temps: at 1814, 70.6. At 1840 as max begins,
dropped to 65.3. Minimum 63.9 a few minutes later. After 1900 soon
back up to 71 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2237 monitoring: confirmed Monday
April 8 at 1954 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S9+15 into
UTwente; and a couple words behind on 3975.002, S9+5. Both close down
at 2000* contrary to schedule. Storms? I had been hearing lightning
crashes, and there was Blitz over the BeNeFra, but nowhere over
Germany. Opened up 6159.929 for JBA WBCQ. Both still off at 2130.

Confirmed UT Tuesday April 9 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, still there, I`ll
take it, despite being replaced on the skedgrid by Wavescan. But now
we are in limbo? Still no Louisiana or Durango2 kiwis, so I pick an
Athens GA: one of them has overload on 7775 sounds like WLCR 9330!
with the phony Brit accent. The other Athens is clear for a fair WOR
signal. Next:

** U S A. 35790, April 8 at 2228, JBA carrier, presumably R. Martí, 3
x 11930 where it`s S9+20/30. Maybe with a big summer sporadic E
opening I can get more than that. Nothing on 23860 = x 2 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555 USB, April 8 at 2223, WJHR gospel huxter overtime, S9
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475, April 8, 2240-2300, WTWW on with bigsig. Checking
since George McClintock called after 2200 saying it`s running 75 kW; I
guess with A.W.R. programming, but dumps off the air and back on
several times. Can`t keep it on or deliberately testing? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0428 UT April 9

1560 KGOW near Houston my prime target since Vietnamese would be obvious source, and roughly equidistant from here across Totality - and it sure came thru, overcoming the OKC station for quite a while. Also had WOAI, TX on 1700 & 1620, KRJO 1680 and some others to be researched. And surprisingly, WLAC 1510 & WCKY 1530. Full report to come. 73, Glenn Hauser

** MALI. Re: ORTM --- Glenn, I believe Mali remains active,
provisionally. Big roaring noise blob on 5995 at 0728Z today, 8 April.
At precisely 0800, it appeared on 9635, so clearly the same
transmitter. Terry Krueger, FL (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.000, April 8 at 1605, Qur`an, S9+20 into
UTwente but undermodulated and with heavy ACI from S9+30 11940, CRI
English via Kashi, std. denunciation, this hour only. By 1642, Arabic
talk. LSB tuning of 11935 helps very little. Republic of Yemen Radio
relay is still going, tho some have questioned whether any SA SW
transmitters be on the air. 11940 off at 1657* and 11935 is still on
but no modulation; 1658 bits of mod cutting on and off, 1659 Arabic
stays on, and level improves, but no ToH ID heard. 1700 now there is
ChiCom splattering from 11925 starting with timesignal. Aoki says CNR1
via Lingshi already on since 1200. 1730 mostly in clear with
declamatory speech by one voice, occasional interruptions by a calmer
voice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sunday April 7 at 2200, VOT English is not off
the air, VG S9+50 into UTwente, VG modulation, like a local. I start
to pay attention after the news, TRT World promo, `Weekly Analysis`
about the March 21 local elexions, how different parties fared, but
doesn`t mean much to me without further background knowledge; bottom
line: good news or bad for RTE? They don`t say. 2225 music. 2229
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2230 `Letterbox`, but first usual host
talks about his Ramadan: has lost 6 kg, was difficult at first. He
also had to abstain from smoking and drinking Turkish coffee thrice a
day. Almost over with Eid on Wednesday. Letters: from India wanting
souvenir stuff, but sorry, only postal QSLs; reads report including
program details from whenever, he should skip over now; apparently
followed by another from same guy; one from England; Young Stars Radio
Club in India. And from Ricky Hein - seems he has received and emailed
reply to ten or fifteen of the same request asking for English
schedule. Is he not getting them?? Exasperated, wants his postal
address [from South Dakota]. 2245 time`s up, music. But outro for
L`box only after the song at 2249. Then more music. 2253 s/off by the
badax for the 1230 on 17620 only. Something`s always awry at Ankara.
2254 IS for a sesquiminute and off 2255.5*. No ChiCom genocidal
understation any more like on ex-5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 400 MCW kHz, April 8 at 0704, AHQ, ND beacon at Wahoo,
Nebraska, not new but seldom heard. The LW line noise level has abated
somewhat, as I also hear some other peripheral regulars, SW, AM, MA,
FBY, IC and more. Also 407, HRU in KS, but just as clearly tuned to
404 USB.

The OG&E guys visited again about 1545 UT April 8. They have not been
able to locate source of noise, in fact say it`s widespread over
entire Garfield County! We agree that it has abated a lot on MW, as I
set the DX-398 on 1100 kHz - no longer any noise thereunto, no matter
how rotated. They have done nothing, so it could just as easily
resurge, whereupon I will notify them. I still hear considerable noise
on LW via the 100-foot longwire, and on MW. Hope not enough to block
any imminent Eclipse MW DX, perhaps from Texas or Louisiana beyond the
totality path (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2237 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 7 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.996 kHz, not on 207 or
918, S9+12/17 into nearby Noale SDR. UTwente agrees on the exact
frequency, but much poorer now, too dusky? S8/S9 and with ACI.

Also confirmed Sunday April 7 from 2131.2 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000, S9/+5 into UTwente but some dittering circa 6164; a word or
two behind on // 3975.002, S9+10.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, Louisiana &
Durango2 SDRs offline, so I try Athens GA: S8/9+10; also S7/S8 roughly
off the back into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 8 at 0300.0 on Area 51 via WBCQ

** U S A. (7490v), Sun Apr 7 at 2256 UT, checking WBCQ stream as soon
as Turkey is off: some classical music! Handel?, segué to `Easter
Parade` song same as last week. And same confused announcement by YL,
not Angela: Beginnning April 7, this 7-8 pm Sunday hour just heard is
available airtime, stay tuned for the Plain Old Doug show at 9 pm
Eastern. Well, 22-23 UT is 7-8 pm ADT not EDT! Guess what: website
program guide still shows FTIOM/UBMP and two others at 22-23 and no
sign of PODs later, or anywhen. Furthermore all the sked times are
wrong labeled ``EST`` even tho they are four hours behind UTC, i.e.
EDT. I continued listening past 23 to `Le Show`, as Harry is rerunning
segments while he is busy making one more movie, but webcast, during
last dekaminute keeps dropping off and back on as my Winamp goes wild
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Squeal on WWCR --- probably an easy fix. Probably a bad
capacitor in the exciter. The capacitors are used to prevent crosstalk
from occurring on the DC bus.
The DC bus usually feeds several circuits and these signals are
getting mixed and that is what you're hearing. Will only worsen over
time. Probably just a 50 cent capacitor. Transmitter would have to be
shut down and exciter disassembled. They probably don't have a
component level technician there that can do the work. And the
manufacturer wants an arm and a leg to do a board swap! So that's why
we're hearing a squeal. Lou KF4RCA Atlanta`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 891 kHz, April 8 at 0707 UT, het upon WLS. Rather late

overmodulated/distorted here at S9/+20 // 15140 S8/S9 but mod OK,
canned s/on info with usual mispronunciations, and wrong sked still
winter timings, claiming Sundays at 08 on 6100, 16 on 11760-only --

ever hear them again on 5995, or 9635, let it be known. Not in latest
A24 HFCC April 4, but was absent from B23 HFCC too. Far too many
`domestic` SW services shun HFCC, tho it could help protect their

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, April 6 at 2207 tune-in via Buenos
Aires remote, S8 phone tones SFX from LRA36 in contact info, ID,
regular Saturday broadcast. Seems like another chaotic, soon unheard
and 2224 check definitely off, just S3/S5 noise level. Still nothing
audible at 2300, but a JBV trace on the waterfall! That SDR must have
failed, since it is audible when I move to Mendoza tho only S3/S4,
Spanish too weak for easy listening. And after 2300 there is some ACI
from that ChiCom on 15480. Before 2335, no LRA36 detectable there
either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5800, April 6 at 0630, pulse jamming against nothing, since
WRMI ruined the frequency by putting some exile programming on it
briefly months ago. Skedgrid now shows nothing needing to be jammed,
especially when WRMI is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, April 6 at 0632, no signal nor noise from ORTM direct.
Richard Langley says it`s also off at 1745 when hoping to record
weekly Saturday English. Wolfgang Bueschel suggests absence may be due
to Ramadan; well, it had been going and coming. Ramadan ends around
April 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.8 AM, April 6 at 1830, gospel music broadcaster
relayed by local CB pirate - only S8/S9, weaker than last time when it
was // 105.5 so I check that first, and it`s a match again, K288FX
translator which in turn is allegedly a relay of ``K-Love``, KYLV 88.9
OKC. No skip QRM for a change on this busy channel; nor do I hear any
10m ham beacons on a quick scan. MUF must be down, not even sporadic
E? 6m DXMAP shows 71 MHz somewhere in NAm, but scattered spots are
below 27 MHz. I routinely check 27185 almost every day. BTW the WTFDA
FM Database is offline, rather DreamHost displays: ``db.wtfda.org is
almost here! Upload your website to get started.`` Huh? Surely not my
website. Still sidetracking thus at 2340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, April 6 at 2206, VOT English, VG S9+25/35 into
UTwente. Lots of unID music. 2234-2236 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic]
Products`, sounds like ``catsworth keeper`` something to do with
polishing oxcarts - another failure to communicate to an English
audience, not spelling out unfamiliar stuff. 2236 more music, really
nice with good modulation at least. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel.
2253 s/off as if the 1330-1430 on 13635. That`s multiply wrong,
outdated B23 emission. They should at least pretend this is the A24 at
1230 on 17620, as already accomplished some days. Something`s always
awry at Ankara. IS played one sesquitime and chopoff at 2254.8*, no
finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
