** ALGERIA. 17600, April 1 at 1514, S6/S8 in Arabic? No 21550. Same at
1658 check, via Maryland SDR. So TDA is back here instead of 21550 at
11-18. But wait: 1720 recheck, 21550 is on and 17600 is off. Make up
your mind? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, April 1 at 0636, JJBBA carrier presumed R.
Kiribati; and no other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470 & 17480, April 1 at 1515, two VP signals
direct, as no doubt Dengê Welat & Recep Turkish jammer failing to
coördinate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, April 1 at 0626, VON S7 and JBM. Gone a few
minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2184 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday April 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S8/S9 into Maryland SDR with
some local whine; VG S9+10/22 clear into Missouri SDR closer to
azimuth.

Also confirmed UT Saturday April 1 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130
minus 18 Hz = 5129.982 into Maryland SDR with crashes from storms
ranging from Louisiana to western New York.

Also confirmed Saturday April 1 at 1623 the now 1600 ex-1700 on WRN
North America webcast. WRN schedules now updated for A23 with all
airings one real UT hour earlier, as on the WOR radioskd.

Also confirmed Saturday April 1 at 1930 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
already in progress about 7 minutes into so started early circa 1923.

** U S A. 7490-, UT Sat April 1 at 0044-0051, WBCQ `AAAWWW` spending
quite a bit of time skimming the Free Radio Weekly pirate logs just
out from this week`s editor, cosmikdebris (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
{rather, must have been last week`s March 25 issue, lw edited}

** U S A. 5085, April 1 at 0440, WTWW-2 reactivated, first noted JBA
into Bonaire SDR as I was scanning 60m for LAs. Then direct with VG
signal as SFAW giving contact info. Had been off for a couple weeks
due to George McClintock`s COVID. Nominal sked had been until 11:30 pm
CT, now 0430; maybe testing. But off before 0630 my next tunearound
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, April 1 at 0630, JBA signal presumed R. Vanuatu
reactivated, not noted a few minutes earlier when VON was on 7255-.
Tony Rogers, UK, BDXC, also reported: ``After a few days off air,
Radio Vanuatu noted back on 5040 kHz as heard at 1000 UTC, 1 April, on
the Te Kauwhata KiwiSDR in New Zealand. I had noticed a carrier
yesterday on 5040 kHz on this KiwiSDR around 1845 UTC but no audio.
Looks like the transmitter has now been fixed. 73’s Tony`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7319.9 approx., April 1 at 0624, JBA carrier, perhaps R.
Vostochnaya Zvezda, SW USA pirate, which was supposedly going to use
7320, ex-7325 USB & FM, ex-4015 USB. EiBi shows nothing on 7320
anywhen; HFCC and Aoki, only Shiokaze at 1700. A few earlier reports:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,111995.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1952 UT April 1

** FINLAND [and non]. Scandinavian Weekend Radio, almost-monthly
24-hour broadcast scheduled to start March 31 at 2100, for the ``first
Saturday`` in April, on two of: 5980/6170 & 11690/11720; 100 watts.

Checking UTwente at 2120+, 6169.991v, JBA S7/S8; 11689.93885/93884
quite steady until recheck of JBA lox on 11689.93187 - Per Aoki
nothing else scheduled now on either. But I`m mainly really listening
to `Behavior Night` on WBCQ webcast. As 7490 reception here would be
no better than Finland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 96.9 FM, March 31 at 2038 UT, KQOB, far-right talker is
unusually off the air; back on at 2046 check. Maybe something to do
with wildfires breaking out north side of OKC due to extremely low
humidity, drought and high winds. In previous hour during repeat of
pre-Oscars `The Score` on 90.1 KUCO, interrupted twice for NWS
wildfire warnings. ``Critical Fire Danger`` over much of Oklahoma.

Later, on the KFOR ``4`` news at 2200, lots of wildfire coverage.
`Blew` away NBC Afternoonly News at 2230, not even displacing it to
backup KAUT ``43``. KWTV ``9`` is on the fires too but displaces CBS
News to backup KSBI ``52``. KOCO blows away ABC News, no known
alternative. Horrible blazes and damage seen from choppers, ground. 4
stuck with wall-to-wall until 2400 UT prime time. 5 and 9 were
partially back to programming by 2330.

Earlier around Enid, reduced visibility due to blowing dust, not
smoke. But Enid reported the highest wind gust, 75 mph, i.e. over
hurricane force. I did not experience that, myself.

Fires are generally in NE OKC, general area of the FM/TV VHF/UHF
antenna farm. However, KQOB, which pretends to be an OKC station but
really licensed to Enid, site is further north, west of Crescent. But
there are also fires in Logan County; if not directly threatened by
blazes, sites may lose juice as powerlines fall and ignite more fires.
This site I had bookmarked,
https://www.fireweatheravalanche.org/fire/
is useless, showing some fires elsewhere in OK but nothing around
OKC!

BTW, WTFDA FM Database still outdated about KQOB claiming it`s // 1640
KZLS, which many months ago stopped, as KZLS became // 1390 KCRC with
stupid sportstalk. Would not be surprised if other OKC FM/TV signals
be interrupted. Never heard the TVs mention the antenna farm (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PERU. 4820, March 31 at 0643, JBA music, improved from JBA carrier
only, and nothing now from 4810 Chazuta. The new Radio Integridad IDs
reported here turn out to be a station relayed by what is really Radio
Senda Cristiana, OAW6C, in Cotahuasi, Arequipa, according to research
by Ron Howard et al., explained in detail in the WOR iog. This
missionary ministry has been going for some years on FM around Perú
fs, but adds SW for increased coverage. They hand out anti-DX
fix-tuned radios to a captive audience (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Mar 31 at 2205, SNR token English, NAm frequency
on air today, S8/9+10 into Maryland SDR, feature Justin Coe
interviewing a German `cellist, and the first recording of a concerto
in F by Enric Casals, brother of Pao a.k.a. Pablo --- they were really
Catalan. Also with someone from the orchestra involved; too brief bits
of the axual music amid and to fill. Almost as good on 15520, slightly
weaker on 17715 and 11670, all unintended for us (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U K [non]. 9440.000, March 31 at 2158, checking for anything from
Cairo, instead weak S7/S9 tone, 2200 TS and Newsroom, i.e. BBCWS as
now sked for one hour via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES. Asking for
trouble: perhaps they be unaware of the Cairo mess? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [non]. 13820, March 31 at 1502, JBA carrier amid residual
pulse jamming on the Martí B-season-only frequency, so someone is
oblivious to the danger of possible 24/7/365 Cuban jamming against no
OCB. Aoki shows only 13820 now is VOA Deewa Radio in Pashto at
1300-1700 via KUWAIT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9535, March 30 at 0607, RHC Spanish S9 but undermodulated,
again on air way past nominal 0500*, or is it 0600* as in A23 Aoki?
But this time no clash with R. Ndarason International, still scheduled
from *0600 per Aoki, but not in HFCC. J-M Aubier says RNI is now on
15505, as also in A23 HFCC without naming it. RHC off 9535 by 0616
check, still nothing else. Something`s always wrong at RHC. No RHCs
were still running on 5 or 6 MHz bands, but:

11670, March 30 at 0612, RHC English, S9+20 but suptorted, supposedly
not scheduled here at all but often appearing late or on 11760. SAWA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 9790, March 30 at 0610, French S6/S8, weak with echo
indictating long+short path. HFCC shows RFI Issoudun, 250 kW at 200
degrees for WAf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, March 30 at 2227, VOT English is not absent today,
S9+40 into UTwente, concluding `The Captain`s Log` about travel,
seldom heard feature maybe mainly Thursdays when I`m usually busy
producing WOR but finished a bit earlier today; yet I`m primarily
attentive to BBC and NBC news on TV. 2235 salute to S&Rs from abroad;
2237 `Did You Know That` about some city on a riverbank; 2241 Turkey`s
Geomarked(?) Products; music; 2253 s/off. 2255* cut off after first
note of IS: no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
