** NORTH AMERICA. 9820 USB, April 30 at 0410 S9+20 of pirate music,
hard to believe only a pirate, but within seconds it stops, after
saying something like ``thanks for tuning in``. It`s Mix Radio
International, which has been showing up on lots of frequencies beyond
the Pirate Band. Tony Pavick had tipped this at 0233 on the WOR iog:
``Mix Radio International is up and perking on 9820 USB tonite``. No
sign of Brasil 9818.6v lately, and Rudolf Grimm, SP, had reported Apr

** TURKEY. 9770, April 30 at 0412, S7/S9 rock music. Nevertheless, per
EiBi it`s VOT in Turkish at 04-06 to Europe, and HFCC shows 300 kW,
310 degrees so also USward. At 0600 switches to 13635 only 250 kW at

least on my E/W longwire, no sign of XEW. This is quite contrary to
radio-locator.com listing as ``Radio Luz 900 AM`` = Spanish! and
5000/136 watts, non-direxional but `2 modes`, whatever that mean.

Hi All,

935 HQ1/0.4

4-leg quadrant antenna
Designation: HQ n/h, where:
n = number of elements stacked above the other
h = height of dipoles above the ground in wavelength

The simplest form of quadrant antenna is represented by an arrangement
of two horizontal end-fed half -wave dipoles placed at right angles.
Another form of quadrant antenna consists of four dipole elements
in the form of a square and fed at opposite corners.

Quadrant antennas may also be stacked to achieve more
directive vertical radiation pattern and consequently higher directivity
gain.

926 HQ1/0.5
927 HQ1/0.8

975 VM8/8/120/3    vertical monopole
Designation: VM h / as / N / d, where:

VM : vertical monopole antenna
h : height of the monopole (m)
as : earth system radius (m)
N : number of radial wires in the earth system
d : diameter of the radial wires (mm).

A vertical monopole is considered to consist of an infinitely thin,
electrically short (less than a half-wave) vertical radiating element
erected on a reflecting plane.

To obtain efficient radiation from the antenna, if it is erected
on poorly reflecting ground, an earth system normally consisting
of a number of radial wires should be used. For the purposes of
calculating radiation patterns, it is usually assumed that the input power
is applied at the base of the antenna.

The vertical monopole provides an omnidirectional pattern on the azimuthal
plane,
however the associated vertical pattern is always significantly affected
by the ground constants as well as by other physical parameters,
e.g. the electrical antenna height, etc.

The presence of an earth system does not significantly affect the
geometrical shape
of the pattern, but it significantly affects the value of the absolute gain..

The vertical monopole will be considered in two basic conditions:
– above flat homogeneous imperfect ground, taking into account only ground
reflection;

– above flat homogeneous imperfect ground with an earth system consisting
of either a circular disk having infinite conductivity, or a number
of radial wires of given length and diameter.

** BRAZIL. 28485 USB, Apr 29 at 2222, PU1SHK, Matt in Rio calling
CQDX. Have heard him before. QRZ.com: ``PU1SHK Brazil flag Brazil,
Matheus "Matt" Miller, Campos Dos Goytacazes, RJ, Brazil`` - with
photos nothing but antennas. A bit earlier at 2200, 10m seemed to be
dead as well as 12 and 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11760, Apr 28 at 2221, some weak music and noise, presumably
CRI Portuguese [non], via Xi`an, below RHC deadair (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Apr 28 at 2201, S9+10/20 of dead air with hum, and
11880 S9+10/20 clearer DA, from RHC. By 2221, 11880 is OK in Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also TURKEY [non]

Guatemala, EMMANUEL H. MIERES G. (Manny), 19 CALLE 10-38 ZONA 11 COL.
MARISCAL, BOSQUES DE MARISCAL, CIUDAD DE GUATEMALA 01011, Guatemala``
with photos of family and dog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRELAND. 18125 USB, Apr 29 at 2215, EI3GIB, Gary in a contact.
QRZ.com: ``EI3GIB Ireland flag Ireland, Gary Renihan, Crossakiel,
Kells, Co. Meath., Ireland``. Lots of photos, mostly antennas (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 18140 USB, April 28 at 2218, IZ8DEP, Alfredo, S of Rome,
working W7SV and pileup of US stations. QRZ.com: ``IZ8DEP Italy flag
Italy, ALFREDO SCARPA, VIA PADRETERNO, 25, MARANO DI NAPOLI, IT 80016,
Italy`` - page full of nothing but equipment photos, especially coils
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Apr 29 at *1400, weekly emergency
net, tough copy with noise level S8 about the same as NCS WSHM692,
which is Breanna in Edmond. Usual opening procedure and 1402 roll
call:

WQYW443, Beckham County EOC;
WQZT582, Broken Arrow;

WOR)

** PORTUGAL. 18137 USB, April 28 at 2214, Luis, CT1### working W7TJ,
K6ES et al., then nothing until 2217. Could not copy his whole call.
Found several contacts in DX Heat matching, from CT1ESO. QRZ.com:
``CT1ESO Portugal flag Portugal, LUIS GOMES, rua estreitinha s/n monte
dos calvinhos hortas, 8900-108 V.R.ST.ANTONIO, Portugal`` - Just
before this, found zero signals on 28, 24 and 21 MHz hambands, but
some skip on 27 MHz CB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715, Apr 28 at 2200, S8/S9 of dead air direct in token
French on Tuesday from REE; while 15500 & 15520 are modulating
normally. 17715 remains DA at 2208, 2222, and also into Bonaire
S7/9+10 at 2337. Someone`s nonawake at Noblejas. It`s really
incredible how many SW stations let this happen - they don`t care
enough to monitor themselves constantly, not even by silence-sensor
alarms!

JRX in Paraíba already reported earlier: ``17715. Tue, April 28, 2026.
1901-1920, Radio Exterior de España, Noblejas-E, in Spanish to SAm.
Very good signal, S9 +30, dead air, zero modulation! Since 1829 UT
when I tuned for the first time! Parallel on 15390nob, out; 15500nob,
woman and men announcers hablando de fútbol, 45543; 15520nob,
3~45543``

And later, 17715 still DA April 29, as Wolfgang Büschel reports: ``REE
Madrid, live coverage, football game tonight from 19-21 UT Atlético
Madrid vv Arsenal London England. At 2005 UT on 15500 S=9+10dB in
Europe, 15520 kHz S=9+35dB much powerful signal, and 17715.014 kHz
EMPTY CARRIER noted at S=9+25dB signal level at 2009 UT, no football
game live transmission audio. 15390 alternate frq channel - empty``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715, April 29 at 2157, REE still dead air at S9+20/30
direct, while 15500 is VG and also 15520 manage to modulate, wrapping
up coverage of stupid ballgame, 2200 timesignal and usual PSA about
voting by mail before May 17 in Andalucía; 2201 opening token English
since it`s Wednesday, ``live`` [not], usual pair Alba and Daniel with
his especially heavy accent which is tiring to listen to even if
comprehensible. They talk at breakneck pace with only one hour a week,
perhaps to flaunt their fluency. Preview topics, a rugby legend,
living with HIV, historic blackout a year ago in Spain & Portugal;
2203 news leads with crisis in housing prices. I`m exhausted already,
hi. 2213 check now about Wash hotel shooting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 28 at 2157, VOT not off the air with IS, splash
from 11780 Brasil, HSNL and S9+10 direct, 2200 opening English, too
poor to keep listening. Still refuses to shift even another 5 kHz away
from RNA to 11790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 11785, Apr 29 at 2157, 2159, 2208, 2210 chex, no
signal from VOT English direct, nor on 9875. Into UTwente at 2239,
still no 11785, algo on 9875 but JBA too weak for VOT, vs ACI from
9880 which is CRI Esperanto via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, for S
America. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2344 monitoring: not confirmed
Tuesday April 23 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, because it`s OFF the air.

Confirmed Tuesday April 23 at 2330 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
3975.002-, S9+5 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday April 29 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+30 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday April 29 from 1930.7 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 6160.000+ S9+35 and 3975.001+ S9/+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday April 29 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490-, S6/S7 into
Georgia SDR, some gospelhuxter, TOMBS? chopped off at 2059 for promo
and ID, then WOR. Certainly not `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` who has been
gone from Wed 20-21 UT for months, but still on the websked!

Also confirmed Wednesday April 29 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/30 into
Georgia SDR, after a bit of `Hard Day`s Night` at 2329. Next:

1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Apr 28 at 2203, this WRMI is OFF, while 8 and 9 hours
earlier it was merely dead air, but now, no air. Still audible on
9395, 15770, 17790. Nothing about this on WRMI FB, where anomalies are
sometimes explained, rather than on own website! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Apr 29 at 1545, WRMI with lugubrious Korean talk,
artificially slowed down, certainly not `Truth 2 Ponder` as on
skedgrid this hour for System F. S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR, and not
// 9395, JBA 7730 or 9955 off. Might be multilingual SMTV, but not
their format to go on and on like this; mentioning `Maria` a few times
so maybe an RCC gospel huxter? 1557 suddenly speeds up to normal pace,
but quick cut to music; 1559 ID, 1600 four tones and `Hello World
Radio` as sked, a DJ show mostly music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, Apr 29 at 1441, dead air from TOMBS on WTWW, only S9
direct; by next check 1515 is modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9750/9965, Apr 29 at 2209, approx. range of WTWW splatter
out of 9930 which is distorted and overmodulated with TOMBS, S9+50
direct. Some QRM to 9955 WRMI, but worst roughly between 9800 and 9950
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 760, Apr 29 at 0643 UT, WJR Detroit has QRM from another
talk station, almost equal strength, and religious. Just about has to
be, by format, proximity, direxionality, KCCV Overland Park KS, but
site across in MO; 200 watt night pattern favors WSW with null toward
WJR; 6000 watt day pattern NE/SW, Enid barely within fringe contour.
Guess which? No doubt the Deity makes an exception (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Apr 29 at 0657, Estación 4940 is on the air S8,
unlike last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15000, Apr 28 at 2206, huge wideband noise blob almost
obliterating WWV, its tone JBA; on two different antennas, but maybe
something local, not usually a problem on this frequency (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
