 ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat July 3 from 1450 tune-in, LRA-36 is on and audible S5-S6 via Pardinho, Brasil SDR, with music. 1500 contact info; 1508 LRA36 ID, music. 1512 ``AA, LRP`` ID. 1515 ments Base Esperanza, LRA36 ID; 1520 that SDR stops, so change to Brasília #2, still music. 1530 ``todo por hoy, nos despedimos`` as if signing off, Antártida song, but 1534 stays on with more music, now back via Pardinho; 1545 ID, Antda. song fragment, into historical talk about year 1910; 1556 back to music; 1602* cut off amid music without sign-off (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 3 from 1355: not much; 13530 JBA carrier; 13160 JBA; from 1357, 13130 S6-S9 Chinese; 13020 & 12820 & 12795 Chinese. At 1259, 12500 Chinese to TS and 1400*. BUT at 1417 I still/again have weak Chinese on 12500. Now I can`t find a strong enough CNR1 to check for // vs possible SOH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165 & 6060 with hum, July 3 at 0625 these two RHC English are still on, while 6100 & 6000 are off, and 5040 S9+10 still on in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 17750, Sat July 3 again checking out the jammed clandestine broadcast via UTwente from tune-in 1500, at first no jam; 1501 jam cuts on; 1503 jam level jumps stronger, almost covering. Still listed as follows in Aoki: 17870 1500-1600 F Radio Tigray Media House Tig Issoudun 1-7 17870 1600-1700 F Dimtse Woyane Tigray Int Tig Issoudun 1-7 But there is nothing on 17870 now, nor was there last week. And in EiBi: 17750 1500-1600 ETH DimtseTigray MediaHouse TIG EAf /F 17750 1600-1700 ETH Dimtse Woyane TIG EAf /F with no Noise Jammer included! Unlike, FYI: 15340 1700-1800 ETH Dimtse Wegahta Tigray TIG EAf /F 15340 1700-1800 ETH Noise Jammer EAf 11570 0400-0500 ETH Dimtse Woyane TIG EAf /F 11570 0400-0500 ETH Noise Jammer EAf 17750 at 1508 mentions Tigray, telecommunications; 1510 HOA music. At 1605, UTwente hears only jamming, but Kuwait SDR still detects a carrier under it. At 1659, jamming still runs S5 into UTw, S3 into Kuwait, but no more carriers. Jam still runs at 1715 vs nothing, and I`ve had enough with Don Giovanni starting on KUCO. At 1728 via UTwente on 15340 we`ve noise jamming covering a carrier. Searching Aoki on Tigray finds another related entry: 15160 1500-1600 F R.Tigray Media House Tig Issoudun 1-7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: confirmed UT Sat July 3 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10 to Maryland SDR. Also barely confirmed Sat July 3 circa 1315 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA but sounds like me. Also confirmed Sat July 3 after 1600 on WRN N America webcast: http://shoutcast.wrn.org:8025/NAMAAP New WRMI skedgrid shows a surprise new time for WOR: Sat 2000 on 15770, always 44 degrees toward NE best for ENAm and Eu, not OK! 1801 UT Saturday IRRS 7290-Bulgaria to WNW, 918-Italy 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2000 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE {NEW] 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0400] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE [new] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 1330 UT Tuesday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: no new thanks this week for a MO or check in US funds on a US bank, to: Glenn Hauser, Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. As Dr Hansjoerg Biener points out, WRMI has a new skedgrid dated 1 July. It`s a different URL so bookmarx must be replaced: WRMI A21 Schedule as of July 1 - Google Sheets https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Hra1coQGQAKDzn8QGeAqPuXbvFsn7umGzESGJQUx5k/edit#gid=0 OR: https://tinyurl.com/unsb6zp5 4980 has been reactivated after quite a spell without even an exciter occupying it. Heard S9+10/20 at 0626 July 3 with TOMBS and squeal like also heard on 5800 earlier. Now 4980 is WRMI-4, shown as nothing but TOMBS at 0000-1100, 160 degrees. (However, part of that is to be pre-empted for something else on July 10.) WRMI-2 is now shown as the only unit with zero hours 24/7, at 222 degrees on 5985. Instead, the 5985 block is now from WRMI-14 at 0330-0600, 181 degrees; same transmitter used for 5010 at all its times. WRMI-3, 9955 at 160 degrees is now shown as 24 hours, the previous gaps 04-10 and 15-21 filled by, what else, TOMBS! Contradixion: on the System C sked itself of TOMBS, 9955 is NOT shown overnight, and in daytime at 15-17 on Saturdays only. Another contradixion: WRMI-9, 15770 on the xmtr grid continues 22-02 UT with TOMBS, but on System C only at 21-22. I expect there are more anomalies/changes from previous grids (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5800, UT Sat July 3 at 0200-0300, Texas R SW via WRMI presents Europirates or lowpowers, this week R. Igloo from Sweden. Various elder members of a West Coast DX club introduce themselves in English and play a favorite Swedish tune, all unfamiliar but less so the final one by ABBA [sorry, I don`t have a backward B]. I also notice a squeal via the remote, Maryland? I think still in play; squeal like used to infest WWCR-1 but no more. Not sure if now it`s real or remote-imposed, but also heard later on 4980 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3265.108v, July 3 after 0000 during `AAAWWW` repeat on 6 & 7, WBCQ on here too with else, presumed TOMBS, and I missed citing the exact frequency per SAM readout on Maryland SDR. All ``classic`` WBCQ transmitters must be significantly off-frequency and varying; depending on roughly-cut crystals? 3265.111v, July 3 at 1613 via Maine SDR, S5, WBCQ is also on now! and with TOMBS. Running it all day, all night? Ditto 6159.901v at S9. Too close, 7489.952v is also barely detectable; but no 9330. The WBCQ website ``program schedule`` is far out of date! 3265 is not even included; still shows 6160 not starting until *2300 except Sundays *2200 for WOR & HRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1749 UT July 3

 ** CHINA. 15800, July 2 at 1326, algo JBA in Chinese? Yes, must be CNR1 jammer, per Aoki, only this and SOH here. Besides a JBA carrier on 13530, nothing else smacking of WOOB jammers now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13629 approx., July 2 at 1320, weak spurblob with telltale tone of F#, out of 13700-AM which is S9+10 and undermodulated. Cannot detect a twin circa 13771. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 9670, July 2 from 2301 tune-in via Maryland SDR, Texas R Shortwave test for N America via Channel 292 with beam antenna, as Terry Colgan reminded us was imminent: Fair reception S6-S8, carrier fluxuating plus/minus 7 Hz; QRM from 9665.157 presumably Brasil. I also try the Warrenton MO SDR and find it`s JBA. Direct to me, JBA carrier in S9 high line noise level --- I`ve complained again to OG&E. Back to Maryland for rest of hour, soul or blues music by female performer; can`t understand the lyrix but nice beat and tunes. Also hard to understand occasional synthom announcements at 2315, 2329, offering QSL and inviting requests for future programs. Next titles Down the Road? and Alligator Man? At 2400 to ``This is Radio Channel 292`` and other music continues a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Nearby ND beacon check July 2 at 1323 UT, JBA in HNL: 515 PN PoNca City; 341 EI EnId; 332 IC wIChita KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: confirmed Friday July 2 at 2033 the 2030 on IRRS via Italia-AM Villa Estense, 918 kHz, S9+25 into nearby Noale SDR, but some breakup, hope not on the feed or transmission. Then check UTwente where also audible across Europe and not breaking up, but underneath CCI in Castilian from R. Inter, Spain, 20 kW, which was reactivated since WRTH 2021 where it was inactive; adding up to S9+25. Next: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 1801 UT Saturday IRRS 7290-Bulgaria to WNW, 918-Italy 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0400] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE [new] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 1330 UT Tuesday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: no new thanks this week for a MO or check in US funds on a US bank, to: Glenn Hauser, Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, July 2 at 2020, WBCQ WLCR still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7489.9v), July 3 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`, WTO, and Allan starts out saying he is ``extremely sexually satisfied``. Angela pretends? to shush him looking for mute button but there is none. This sounds familiar; guess they have sex before every show as warmup. They are so in love! From Deland of Fla where it was 100 degrees. What`s wrong with Canada? Way behind in vax and opening up. Usual rants equating Democrats with Communists; beware of flash mobs robbing CVS --- not today when I was in Enid`s. 0032 datestamp as 28th of May, YOOL 2021: this is a RERUN! I heard it before but same kind of stuff every week so I didn`t realize that immediately. So I stop listening. You may see my and John`s report of then in my log report of May 29 UT. John Carver agrees it`s from May and does not re-report it. Earlier I had checked if there were any new twits, and yes, from today, he predicted would be on 7490, 6160 AND 3265, which has been AWOL for months. Indeed 3265 is audible in Maryland with lots of noise --- great band for summer! But it`s other programming, probably TOMBS, but I don`t care enough to seek a parallelish. N.B. Anker Petersen who in ``tropical`` surveys had 3265 as a goner (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0128 UT July 3

 ** CANADA [non]. 7488.871, July 2 at 0200, ``Canada D`Eh`` special by Uncle Bill and Fred Waterer on WBCQ, a fun show of comedy and tunes; I listen first on the `7490` webcast but it craps out at 0217 so I hasten to Area 51 webcast, but it`s some other music! The special was supposed to be on both 7490 & 6160. Then I bring up the Maryland SDR to find that 6160 is not even on the air, but it`s getting 7490. A few minutes later I can go back to the 7490 webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, July 1 at 0546, RHC in Spanish instead of English and no humbuzz! So that`s what it takes. What else? 6000 & 6165 are good in English; 6100 is off; and 5040 is also in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11462, Thu July 1 at 0550, S9/+10 of open carrier. Looks like I just missed a spy transmission, per EiBi at 0454-0550 on days 246 = TueThuSat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13705, July 1 at 1422, no VOA beepery today, unlike the last biday before 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2092 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu July 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+10 off the back into Maryland SDR but with some storm crashes; and a bit of reverb on the modulation, an effect not usually heard on WOR and certainly not originally. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 contents: Australia, Chile, China, Egypt, Ethiopia non, Greece, (Japan), Kashmir non, Korea North and non, Korea South, Madagascar, Myanmar, Netherlands, Oklahoma, Perú, Romania, Sweden, USA; propagation outlook WOR 2093 is available as of 2346 UT Thursday July 1, 2021 (mp3 stream) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor2093.m3u (mp3 download) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor2093.mp3 Or via http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html Also linx to podcast services. The shortwave+ broadcasts should be: 0130 UT Friday WRMI 5850 to NW, 7780 to NE 2030 UT Friday IRRS 918-Italy 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 1801 UT Saturday IRRS 7290-Bulgaria to WNW, 918-Italy 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0400] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE [new] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 1330 UT Tuesday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: no new thanks this week for a MO or check in US funds on a US bank, to: Glenn Hauser, Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com First broadcasts confirmed UT Friday July 2 at 0130 on WRMIs direct: 7780 S9/+10 and 5850 S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, various chex June 30, July 1 at 1420 & 1707 and early UT July 2 at 0128 find no signals from WBCQ SuperStation. Wonder what`s wrong now? Meanwhile, Benn Kobb has unearthed some buried but public documents from the FCC website about the delay in approving WBCQ purchase of WHRI; Allan`s sister Barbara objects, saying he is ``fronting`` for that Egyptian billionaire behind World`s Last Chance Radio, who of course could not own US radio stations outright. His name is redacted but obviously Galal P. Doss (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15745-USB, July 1 at 1608, rough tone transmission with multiple carrier peaks, a different sound than usual from the lower half of the WINB hybrid DRM on ``15750``. Maybe that means it is just idling rather than crypto stocktrading info. Off by 1706 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, July 1 at 0611, no signal from R Vanuatu, nor was any detectable a few minutes before 0559 on 7260. Ron Howard agrees: ``Radio Vanuatu. Recently had been silent for about three days, then back on for a few days, but checking July 1, from 0530+ UT, till past 0845, on all the normal RV frequencies, found them clearly off the air today. Cuba (5040) went off at 0659*. RV certainly has been erratic recently, with technical difficulties? Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0250 UT July 2

 ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, June 30 at 1445 tune-in via Brasília remote, LRA36 is on again this Wednesday, only S2. There are very frequent canned IDs and mostly music. 1447.5 LRA36 ID. 1508 NAA ID = ``Nacional Antártida Argentina``. 1511.5 LRA36. 1516.7 NLRP ID = ``Nacional, La Radio Pública``, now up to S2-S3. 1527 closing announcement: ``todo por hoy; nos despedimos`` and Antártida song until 1530.5.
BUT it does NOT go off, soon starts more music! 1540.8 LRA36 ID. 1544 NLRP ID and talk for a while, JBA. 1552 music. 1601.7 LRA36 ID, music. 1608 NLRP ID, music, 1617 talk. 1618 NAA and LRP IDs. 1619 15476 mentioned. 1624 ``NAA, En Todo el País, LRP`` ID, music. 1627 mentions Base Esperanza. 1630 music. 1636 stops and off without closing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13762 & 13638 approx., June 30 at 1435, weak F# FMish spurblobs plus & minus 62 kHz out of 13700-AM; something`s always wrong at RHC. And again with beepery adjacent on 13705, see USA! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. In the British DX Club, Peter Jones reported June 30: ``Radio Cairo English back on?? I had an email from Radio Cairo today (I was asking about the possibility of returning to Shortwave), and apparently the live streaming is now working (not sure how long this has been the case). https://www.onlinehorizons.net/livestreaming3/Player/NS/EN_EUR.html 2115 UT with the link. I will listen in.`` So will I: First feature on webcast lasts only a few minutes; bit of music and then another, with modulation widely variable. I heard a bit of English and then music on that link at 2117; 2120 resume talk presenting ``Features, a new feature each day`` about an Olympic swimmer. Buzz on modulation. 2131 timesignal and `News in Brief`, one-liner headlines, including heat wave in SW Canada, so appears to be current. 2133 ``presents: This week in History``. What about SW? 9720 is the imaginary A-21 frequency for 2115-2245 English per WRTH Update. Nothing there via UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13705, June 30 at 1435, beepery again adjacent to 13700 RHC. At 1443, I ask for help on the WOR iog: ``Again today at 1435 I have some kind of beepery on 13705 just above weaker RHC. Could anyone identify what kind of transmission this is, decode or even identify it? Glenn``. Walt Salmaniw, BC, replies: ``Glenn, it's the VOA! Here's what I decoded in MFSK32 at 14:59 from Victoria, best on 13705 LSB (using FLdigi): `Gracias por recibir y decodificar este texto por radio de la Voz de América. ϵbnd Envíe su informe de recepción a mdail@usagm.gov Please send your reception report to mdail@usagm.gov` OK, now to figure out from where? 73, Walt`` ``!Surely Grimesland/Greenville.

This morning, just before 15:00 UTC, I quickly tuned to the channel and was able to decode the following using FLDigi software. I'm located in Victoria, BC, Canada and used a Perseus SDR radio, and a Flag antenna. I'd appreciate information on where this transmission originates, the power, antenna azimuth, and purpose of the transmission. I recall the old VOA Radiogram show from years ago from Kim Elliott.

Walt`` Still questionable is how this was mixed up with RHC audio yesterday, and why VOA happened to pick such an adjacent frequency? (Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2092 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday June 30 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, S7-S8 into Maryland SDR; and 19 seconds later on WBCQ 7488.882, S9 to same SDR, showing minus 118 Hz carrier offset. NOT confirmed Wed May 30 at 2200 on WRMI 9955! Another cancellation without notice; still on skedgrid but instead some gospel huxter in Spanish.
