** 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:

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

** 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;

** 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)

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update

Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Australia - Radio 4KZ: Updated link to home page; removed link to
now non-existent schedule
2) New Zealand - RNZ National & RNZ Pacific: Updated UTC offset
notations for change to DST
3) Scotland - Radio Six: removed UTC offset notation for programme
schedule - times are all given as GMT(UTC)

The next update is scheduled for early May. 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:

(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:

** 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)
