** ALASKA. 9580, April 27 at 1454, ending `Creation Moment`,
anti-science nonsense, then rock music, and KNLS closing with English
schedule for ``New Life Station`` including 13760 at 03 for S Asia,
i.e. via Madagascar. This confirms that not all the English hours from
MWV Mahajanga are African Pathways Radio as one schedule asserted.
Alaska had resumed on April 23 after 3+ weeks off, not clear exactly
why, expenses?

Supposedly current sked for both is here:
https://www.worldchristian.org/welcome/who-we-are/how-to-listen/
including KNLS English: 08 on 9695; 10 on 9580; 12 on 9795 and 7355;
14 on 9580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALASKA. 9730, April 27 at 1502, rock song at S4-S6, clearly a
station that does not believe in news on the hour --- or any news at
all about the *real* world. 9730 is heavily used by China, North
Korea, Vietnam and Myanmar, but Aoki shows this one-hour window for
KNLS in Russian; only possible competition being SOH Taiwan relaying
RFA up to 20 hours a day including this one. In fact, it`s the same
KNLS-2 transmitter I just heard in English before 1500 on 9580, but
now 30 degrees clockwise at 300 degrees for ``E Central Russia``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9680, April 27 at 1501, S5-S9 open carrier, presumably CNR1
jammer against Taiwan not turned off yet, but could be vice versa.
Aoki/NDXC shows jammer site as Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 11640, April 26 at 2125, chat in English about the
value of reading books, African accent, S4-S5. It`s CRI via MALI, that
odd half-hour broadcast until 2130, or is it expansion of the previous
one-hour? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, April 27 at 0550, RHC in Spanish instead of English
during this hour, S9+30. Something`s always cockeyed at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13763 & 13637 approx., April 27 at 1406, RHC `Sonido Cubano`
music back on big distorted S9 spurblobs, about plus/minus 63 kHz out
of 13700-AM transmitter. Useless in SSB tuning but audible in AM or
FM, and with the F# tone in FM. JBA on second-orders circa 13573 &
13827. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7335, April 27 at 0554, Radio Martí music at S9+20,
apparently hit parade having reached #1, no jamming audible at first
unlike slightly weaker // 7365 S9+10/20. 0559 elaborate ID, ``siempre
contigo``. 0600 becomes `Radio Revoltillo`, show of revolting
comments, dated jueves 23 de abril, so a replay; also counts number of
days to end of year. Jamming now audible under 7335. Nothing on 5980
now except jamming as no RM until 0700; and 6030 audible under
jamming. Comments about how the Great October Revolution was really in
November due to calendar changes. 0613 takes phone call to a 305
number, evidently from another exile; or contact via
radiorevoltillo@gmail.com

RM has other music shows late at night. Better enjoy all this while
you can, as overnight 04-10 UT transmissions on SW are to be canceled
effective May 2, apparently due to a major budget cut. RM is the main
output of Grimesland, vs only a few VOA transmissions in Bambara,
French, Hausa, English, so we fear this could be the beginning of the
end for the ``Greenville`` site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, April 27 at 0554 tune-in, big VON carrier cuts off
immediately, unknown if ever came back. At least they tried (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday April 27 at 0130 on WRMI 7780 - only, VG via Maine SDR;
repeated at 0230.

Also confirmed UT Mon Apr 27 starting at 0305 on Area 51 via WBCQ,
5130-, stably a few Hz on minus side, after an ancient Jean Shepherd
stream-of-consciousness monolog ran over, concluding with his peppy
themesong - what was it? Axually better here, S9+10/20 than to a
Rochester remote where there were storms. Alternate 6160v NOT on the
air.

WOR 2031 presumably confirmed UT Mon Apr 27 at 0330 on WRMI 9955;
checked previous semihour during RPI it was S9+10. Next:

** U S A. 9955, Sunday April 26 at 2120, WRMI with chat between W&M
about their favorite TV shows; it`s `The Lab` for a semihour, easily
overlooked and last reported in September as in DXLD 19-39, with
quotation from WRMI program page still there, outdated info lacking
this very airing, IDing them as Kate Holiday and Ryan Rivers (Glenn

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST

Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update:
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Austria - ORF/OE1: Added station (thanks to Glenn Hauser)
2) France - RFI: Added links to programme and Facebook pages of
Musique du Monde
3) Greece - V of Greece: As VoG now relays the Proto (1st) programme,
in place of the ERT external services, added links to this service.
Additionally, Proto may relay overnight either the Deftero (2nd) or
Trito (3rd) programme, so added links to these as well (with thanks to
Richard Langley in WOR iog for initial tip)
4) Lao - Lao National R: Added links for this station (with thanks to
David Kernick, Interval Signal Online, via WOR iog for initial tip)
5) UK - BBC WS: Updated link to "regional schedules"
6) UK - European Music R: Deleted entry (the former archived
website/domain has now been deleted)
7) USA - R Free Asia: Added link to RFA website (thanks to an initial
tip by Bill Harms in faceBook group)
8) USA - WEWN: Updated link to frequency schedules

Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be late
May. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, April 25)

** CUBA. 11880, April 25 at 2232, RHC Portuguese is S9+20 but very
distorted. 11 seconds later the same thing is heard on 11700 at S9+10,
a bit crackly but not distorted. The former bodes ill for the quality
of English to follow at 2300. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 15370
also supposed to be on now but a JBA carrier and nothing else on 19m
is any better, degraded propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 // suptorted 15140, April 26 at 1512 check, RHC in
Spanish, another Sunday missing Esperanto. Plenty of it can be read
at
http://www.radiohc.cu/eo
including items with recent dates and linx to audio of April 5, 12 and
19 shows, and maybe will add 26 yet missing from SW. Something`s
always wrong at Radio Havano Kubo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, April 26 at 1932, NO signal from RHC English. But:
15370, April 26 at 1932, RHC French is S9+20, OK modulation.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. On rare occasions 15140 programs go
out instead on spy-numbers frequency 16180, but not now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 15130, April 26 at 1932, JBA music S2-S3; listed as NHK
Japanese relay; hardly anything else trans-Atlantic on band and even
Cuba missing from 15140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, April 26 at 0616, TGAV is still on late and
stronger than usual at S9+10/20 during sermon in Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** HAWAII. 5000, April 26 at 0619, WWVH with jittery Doppler flutter
on carrier when heard with BFO, sign of severe prop disturbance, very
unusual over such a low-latitude path; and NO signal from WWV Colorado
which is normally atop here; it can be heard on 2500 tho weaker than
usual. Just missed the 0618 propagation report on WWV, but 3-hourly
e-mail from WWV says at 0600 the K-index was only 2, SF 69, and no
storms observed or predicted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7310, Sat April 25 at 2245, RRI S3-S7 poor concluding DX
Mailbag until 2246 just as in DX/SWL/MEDIA programs starting at 2240
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 25 at 2228, VOT English is on today, Turkish
songs at S7-S9; no RTTY now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A. 9330, April 25 at 1824, WLCR via WBCQ is in English, not
German as previously scheduled, only fair S5-S8. Their sked now shows
German at 19-22 UT and wrong conversion to 8-11 pm local, tho they got
French to France right with a 2-hour difference (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 15770, April 26 at 1439, no signal from this WRMI which
normally achieves at least a JBA carrier; also no signal at 1512 via
remotes in Maine, Holland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1951 UT April 26

** AUSTRALIA. 12362-USB, April 25 at 1432, S2-S3, coastal marine
weather in Oz-accented robOM, mostly wind direxions and speeds in
knots, seas in metres, times in UTC? forecasts at least until Tuesday;
geographical references unrecognized, except 1434 two tones, then
Northern Territory. EiBi shows it`s VMW, Wiluna WA on air 24 hours.
Nothing heard from companion VMC Charleville QL on 12365-USB
supposedly also on air now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 5985 WRMI & 6195 WHRI, April 25 at 0400-0429, NHK
relay entirely in Spanish, no English insert here like in so many
other language services.

6105 Japanese via FRANCE went off at 0400 April 25. Ira Holmes in
central Florida reported that on April 23, 6105 had English at
0415-0500; but it was off April 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. Correxion: off at 2253.7* not 2353.7* of course; fixed:
9830, April 24 at 2247, checking VOT English via Bonaire
SDR, Turkish music and just in time for YL sign-off claiming again
this has been the 1230 broadcast on 15450! NOT. IS plays until
2253.7*, shux, no extra German today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 9410, April 25 at 1446, tune-in to end of a song,
sounds like Nat-King Cole, then a non-English song, S5-S9. Of course,
it`s VOA Korean via PHILIPPINES, also // weaker 12080 at 1451 check.

If you hear classic tunes from The American Songbook, chances are it`s
VOA Korean service, which plays a lot of it. Is this a big thing among
Koreans, or by the VOA-K music director; or retaliation for K-pop?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 12098-USB, Sat Apr 25 at 1436, CAP net, YL NCS
Aspen Gold 99, each transmission ending with beep rather than
``over``; classic paramilitary lingo like ``wilco``; Yellowbird 73
one contact; 1439 asks for relays before we close. No, off at 1440*
with net ID as Heartland. Aspen Gold is the Rocky Mountain Region
tactical callsign, not specifically Colorado which is Blue Mesa. Maybe
it was Yellow Brick, which is Kansas, get it? It seems we never hear
any real axion on these CAP nets, such as rushing to scenes of plane
crashes, but rather extremely rigid pro-forma exchanges.

No problem from the weak SWBC on 12095, which would be BBC Somali;
HFCC, EiBi and Aoki all agree that on Saturdays only during this hour,
BOTH Madagascar and Uzbekistan sites are in use. Surely it`s only one
or the other (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 25 at 1134 the 1130 on WRMI 9955, S3-S6 vs pulse jamming.

April 25 at 1300 on WRMI 15770: JBA carrier here at 1305. Barely
better in Bulgaria, reports Ivo Ivanov:

** U S A. 17775-, April 25 at 1457, KVOH on already and propagating
S9! musical prélude to weekly Saturday English block, the SSOB with
traces of 17815 WHRI? and 17615+ Sa`udi Arabia. Wavescan supposed to
air at 1500, and confirmed a few minutes later when checked on a
Kentucky KiwiSDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040, April 25 at 0603 UT, WHO Des Moines IA with dead air
until 0606 comes to life, blasting ever-changing opening music of
C2CAM // many others but not synchronized, 1100, 1110, 1000, etc.,
guest host tonight Jimmy Church. What would Ronald Reagan say? Is no
human paying attention at WHO to its output? I should have hastened to
pull something else thru it. Maybe will recur (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11785, April 25 at 1442, open carrier with flutter,
S1-S5. VOA Chinese via Philippines ends at 1400 and so too should the
CNR1 or Firedrake jamming. Nothing after 1400, except in EiBi, CRI
Chinese via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of imprisoning and
brainwashing Uyghurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1657 UT April 25

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Sat April 25 just after 0100, via WRMI,
RAE ATTW in English, and also in English closing at 0128 as ``lockdown
edition #2``, so maybe the entire semihour was English. 0129 the way
outdated ``Son-power Radio`` WRMI ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 24 at 0541, R. Rebelde is S9 but just barely
modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, April 24 at 1849, S9+10 signal but just
barely modulated, Qur`an? Dengê Welat expected, via France or maybe
Pridnestrovye, and subject to Turkish blockage; but suspect the bigsig
suppressing atop is the Cuban numbers transmitter which is supposedly
not on 11530 now, but earlier and later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11650, April 24 at 2055, S6-S7 open carrier, somewhat
noisy; what`ll it be? 2058 RRI IS and 2100 opening Spanish via
Tsiganeshti (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11820.042, April 24 at 1818, for the first
time this year, I think, decent S9/+10 signal from the HQS,
sufficiently soporific music for a nap; a Ramadan gift? Always
off-frequency+plus here; 2 minutes of pause from 1838 before
resuming.

// 11914.987 is always weaker, S4-S7, at 1845 April 24.

ARS is still absent from A-20 HFCC info, but in B-19, both 500 kW from
BSKSA Riyadh at 320 and 295 degrees respectively, with 320 closer to
OKward, altho intended only for W Europe. Spans for both were 18-23 UT
and probably still are. By 2053 recheck, however, 11820.042 has faded
to S4-S6 and anyhow are now in W&M talk. Originally it was the best
signal on band from beyond the Atlantic. So how about the other
Sa`udis?

11745.002, April 24 at 1846, presumably the AFRTS of SA, Al-Azm for
the forces attacking Yemen, music at S6-S8 with a fast SAH from USAGM
in Chinese Mandarin, 250 kW, 70 degrees from KUWAIT; or vice versa.
Not in B-19 HFCC, and classified as clandestine by WRTH 2020 on page
516 along with the next one:

11860, Republic of Yemen Radio, strangely enough, was not even
registered in B-19, since it`s clandestine, but everyone thinx it`s
also via Riyadh --- and totally inaudible here vs Cuban jamming and
Radio Martí. Not even its off-frequency carrier as measured by
Wolfgang Büschel, ``11859.965 kHz 14.57 UT on April 18`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 24 at 2247, checking VOT English via Bonaire
SDR, Turkish music and just in time for YL sign-off claiming again
this has been the 1230 broadcast on 15450! NOT. IS plays until
2353.7*, shux, no extra German today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed first US
SWBC, Friday April 24 at 2200 on WRMI 9955: Bonaire SDR hears it OK
over Cuban jamming; Pardinho, Brasil better without jamming; while
direct to here, only a JBA carrier under the jamming.

Also confirmed UT Sat Apr 25 at 0130 on 3 x WRMI: 7780, poor with
storm noise; 5010 better S9+10/20 but also storm noise; and 5850 VG
S9+20/30 yet not enough to overcome all the storm noise. Blitzortung
shows a heavy band of lightning from SW MO to NE TX, along the OK/AR
border and the TX/LA border. Next:

** U S A. 9330, April 24 at 2102, WBCQ in German, only fair S5-S8. The
flat-earth wackadoodles of World`s Last Chance used to be in Arabic,
but having moved that to a closer site Woofferton, have favored the
Germans with three hours here from 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Welcome back to John Carver with computer fixed, notes on
WBCQ`s AAAWWW UT Saturday April 25 at 0000:

``Tonight's show started on time on 7490 and 5130. Allan and Angela in
the studio. Show opens with a bit of talk about the Canadian shooter.
Phone call at 0007 from Freddie. Talk about some of the old programs
from the station that are contained in the archives. Phone call at
0015 from a new listener in Indiana asking for information about the
station which quickly changed to a talk about cars.

Phone call at 0036 from Ramsey which continued the car talk. Freddie
called again at 0042 and the talk this time was about tractors.
Reading of emails at 0055. Very quick prayer and off the air 0100.

Have read most of the reports of AAWWW and the only other thing of
interest was last week's show when Angela told her tale of being
outside before the show and seeing sparks down the street. She went
down to look and a tree limb had fallen into the "hydro" lines and
they were arcing and sparking. Allan explained that they weren't
called hydro lines down here in the States and Angela showed him a
piece of charred tree limb she'd brought back home with her to show
him. Allan called the power company and he got a robo call from the
power company about half way through the show telling him that the
problem had been fixed. John Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** CHINA [non?]. 15110, April 23 at 1455-1500* Chinese talk at S9+10,

but now much better, and no signal from a second station; nor any
similar signals on the 15 or 13 MHz bands. A pipeline, from where?

** U S A. 6159.917V, April 24 at 0134, WBCQ-#? is on and wavering
off-frequency with talk show, presumably Hal Turner, whom I have no
interest in hearing; and without // matching, sounds like same thing
on 5130 and on 7490.110v; and 9455 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 570, April 23 at 0630 UT ``We`re the Voice of the Midwest,
570 WNAX`` and 0631 locally originated ``WNAX News`` presumably during
break in some talk show.

Not the only slogan in NRC AM Log for 570 in Yankton SD, ``Your
5-state neighbor`` --- tho who knows, it may also be uttered.

Wikipedia agrees that Voice of the Midwest is the slogan of WNAX:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNAX_(AM)

Searching also leads to Voice of the Midwest as title of a 1953y book
about WLW Cincinnati. I think only those east of Ohio could think of
it as Midwest.

``Midwest`` is certainly an ill-defined term. One source shows all the
states within a ND-KS-OH triangle. But SD and others can also be
considered in the Great Plains, or North Central region. Certainly not
OK, tho we are the only state with a Midwest City = OKC suburb.

NRC DX News of April 14, AM Switch reported:
``Applications to extend existing STA received:
570 WNAX SD Yankton – Applies to extend STA, U1 5000/1250``

WNAX nominal parameters: 5000/5000 U2, i.e. ND daytime, direxionanl
nighttime, majorly toward NNE with two minor southish lobes.

Where`s KLIF Dallas? Twice as close. Only WNAX heard now on the E-W
longwire which should be equally unfavorable for both.

Both day and night patterns of KLIF are nullish toward here, but in
the daytime it`s atop WNAX, always audible underneath via
high-ground-conductivity path, and of course the only SD day signal
arriving (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
