NIGERIA. 7254.936, Aug 20 at 0626, Voice of Nigeria is back! I have
been checking for it every night after 0600 so am sure this is the
first date reactivated. S9+10/20 undermodulated in presumed Hausa on
signature skewed frequency.
My last previous observation: ``7254.9v, July 12 at 0635, NO signal
from VON nor has there been for several weeks, checked almost every
night after 0600; nor have I seen any other reports about this, nor
other possible frequencies 9690-, 11770-, 15120 being heard at any
hours.``
Before then it had been sporadic: you never knew whether it would be
on after 0600 or not. I had not logged it assiduously so unsure when
it last appeared. Originally had three transmitters, but two of them
already collapsed.
7255- would sometimes be on before 0600 with musical prélude and neat
drumming IS. Nominal sked was 0600-1100 including English 0800-1000;
and 2000-2100 per Aoki. 15120 might also appear evenings in DRM.
11770- was also previously scheduled at 1500-2100 including English at
1630-1900, but Aug 20 at 1620, none of it into Canary Islands SDR,
just JBA on-frequency from presumed PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East
Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and
other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA. 17600, Aug 20 at 2122, S0/S1 direct with flutter, JBA M&W
talk, unsure language, and the OSOB - Spain still gone from 17855.
This still there past 2200. Only 17600 anywhen in EiBi is R.
Algérienne, Béchar, only at 18-20 UT, but they typically do not adhere
to any schedule. Aoki has nothing on 17600, but HFCC shows not only
18-20, but Béchar also at 08-13, all 300 kW at 131 degrees. Recheck
via UTwente at 2300, still a JBA signal. At 2320 it`s still locked
onto 17599.994+ but inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, re my LRA36 report on Aug 20 with some
music heard via remote camping, Gary Pence, KM5X, Dallas, replies: ``I
felt like the music from about 1443z to 1450z could have been a
copycat as a carrier was detected in the waterfall, so I was trying
different modes to try to confirm`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13605, Aug 20 at 2125, JBA strings of weak beeps/tones at
different pitches audible with BFO from slightly different offsets, as
sometimes heard after-hours from Cuban jammers, as if they are playing
around communicating with each other (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Aug 21 at 0413, RHC is off. 6060 is on in Spanish; 6165
much weaker than 6000 in English. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Aug 20 at 2209, no signal direct nor later via
UTwente, from R. Cairo in English. No loss, since if on, would be
hugely distorted, unusable like it has been for many months (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 5829.929, Aug 21 at 0051, into Maryland SDR, JBA signal
not in English and certainly not WTWW, q.v. USA; rather as sked Iran
International TV, the UK-based clandestine, listed in Aoki at
1330-0530 via Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN, which has a well-known track
record of offfrequenciness; recheck at 0129, however, same kind of
signal shows within 1 Hz of nominal: if same service, has site
switched? Or maybe a blocker, ever jammed? EiBi has it only at
1600-0400 via Tashkent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. Re Encore: another encore. I wrote: ``Brice, I was
concerned that for the 01 UT Sunday Aug 21 broadcast on WRMI, your
website playlists are only dated 6 and 13 August - until it was clear
the program being played now is the 6 August one... 73, Glenn`` This
was on 5850 and 7730, about equal into Maryland SDR, somewhat less
noisy on the upper. Wonder which ep will play 25 hours later at 02 UT
Monday on 5950? Says he will fix it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 20 at 2213, VOT is on, but only S4/S6 direct vs
RTTY on plus side, undermodulated. 2229 into UTwente, somewhat
undermod but sufficient at S9+30/40 and no RTTY, +002+ Hz high,
opening `Feeling Supreme`, this time natural remedies for hoarseness
until 2235. 2250 sign-off schedule, as sound level seems to fade
independently of signal level, strange. 2251 IS to 2255*, off just in
time to avoid switch to extraneous German IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2152 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday August 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7780: S7/S9 into Knoxville SDR with
HSNL = high storm noise level; better into Maryland over SNL at
S9/+10.

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 21 at 0329 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+20/30 direct about 3 minutes into so started about 0326. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, by money order or check on
a US bank.

Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330.122, Aug 20 at 2210, WBCQ/WLCR in English, pretty far
off-frequency, S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Aug 21 at 0010, WTWW-2 is OFF, and so are all other
possible frequencies. Storms are not over Lebanon but east of there in
TN. Looking around the website we find streams still running. Long
outdated ``schedule`` says `Theater Organ From the Ozarx` is ``about
7:30 pm Central`` on Saturdays = 0030 UT Sundays. The time was never
reliable, but I have not run across it at all for many weeks. Is it
canceled? I inspect Bob Heil`s business website about mikes and other
audio equipment, heilsound.com and find no mention at all of any
theater organ broadcast under the old or newer `Under the Arch` name.

Back on the WTWW website, claims SFAW =PPPP on 5830 is 8 pm-midnight,
but 5830 is still off the air at 0136 UT. Instead there is something
very weak in non-English: see IRAN [non].

WTWW`s Listen Live menu now has additional options: Old Time Radio;
source? and even Classical! Source? Will have to listen more to that.
Only announcement heard was a std TOH WTWW jingle ID at 0100 employing
a fragment of Our National Anthem as produxion music, and as if on
``shortwave`` which this certainly is not.

5085 on by 0412 check with rock; no idea when it finally fired up;
along with JBA spur about 5098 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1530, Aug 21 at 0430 UT, I happen to tune across WCKY as
they are plugging Keith Olbermann [ex-MSNBC] for ``Worst Person in the
World`` each morning on his iHeart podcast; then ID as ``ESPN 1530,
Home of the Bengals`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Aug 20 from 1445 past 1530, no signal
from LRA36 into Argentine remote this Saturday. At first I was camping
on Gary Pence, and briefly sometime before 1500 heard some music, but
he may have switched to a different frequency. Still nothing at 1809
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 11775, Aug 20 at 1810-1840+, very nice Chinese
traditional instrumental music nonstop on CRI via Kashgar, standard
accusation, scheduled as German 18-20 UT, but one of the languages
they can`t be bothered to utter anymore; VG S9/+20 into Canary SDR I
am rechecking for Nigeria 11770 but which gets nothing but splatter
from this. Continues past 1900 without a break or any announcement
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [non]. 5130-, UT Sat Aug 20 at 0238-0300, `Greek Music
Refuge` as programmed by Zach Liangas and presented by U. Bill Tilford
on WBCQ Radio Angela, S9/+10 but noisy into Maryland SDR; would have
been better on a higher band such as 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.936, Aug 20 at 0626, Voice of Nigeria is back! I have
been checking for it every night after 0600 so am sure this is the
first date reactivated. S9+10/20 undermodulated in presumed Hausa on
signature skewed frequency.

My last previous observation: ``7254.9v, July 12 at 0635, NO signal
from VON nor has there been for several weeks, checked almost every
night after 0600; nor have I seen any other reports about this, nor
other possible frequencies 9690-, 11770-, 15120 being heard at any
hours.``

Before then it had been sporadic: you never knew whether it would be
on after 0600 or not. I had not logged it assiduously so unsure when
it last appeared. Originally had three transmitters, but two of them
already collapsed.

7255- would sometimes be on before 0600 with musical prélude and neat
drumming IS. Nominal sked was 0600-1100 including English 0800-1000;
and 2000-2100 per Aoki. 15120 might also appear evenings in DRM.

11770- was also previously scheduled at 1500-2100 including English at
1630-1900, but Aug 20 at 1620, none of it into Canary Islands SDR,
just JBA on-frequency from presumed PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East
Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and
other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6933 USB, Aug 20 at 0126, heavy jazz/guitar S9, 0128
ID overdone that I can`t understand, ``--- Radio``, more past 0136.
These say it`s Thunder Chicken Radio, at 2341 moved up from 6930 USB
as in previous report:

Never heard any SSTV beepery while I was retuned (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, August 20 at 0127, soft rock S9/+10 but
undermod compared to 6933 USB station; then, ``I wanna hold your
hand``. 0129 SFX and Ballsmacker Radio ID: still on a reliable Friday
night schedule? Many more logs here:

** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), catching up with `Ukraine: Security Issue`
from archive rather than UR1 relay by WRMI at 0500: Aug 18, day 176:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_18_08_22.mp3
Including: Trainloads of heavy Russian weapons. Shrapnel dangerous for
civilians, not just missiles themselves. Russians even deliberately
injure themselves in order to avoid fighting, be evacuated. Russians
confiscating cars. Zap. power plant situation increasingly tense.
Claim Ukrainians are making provocations. Turkish pres. visiting
Ukraine, inspecting grain exportation. Risk of radiation leak at
plant.

Aug 19, day 177:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_19_08_22.mp3
Including: Kharkiv suffers most losses since beginning. Russia used $ 3
million missile to destroy dormitory of hearing-impaired people, no
military targets nearby. Is only 15 km from Russian frontline. Donbas
settlements destroyed every day, but have not been able to capture
entire Donbas. Russians aim exclusively at civilian targets as in
several cities. R stepping up nuclear blackmail. Mig31s deployed in
Kaliningrad with hypersonic missiles threatening Poland and Lithuania
neighbors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2051 monitoring: ``5850 UNITED
STATES WRMI 1033, Just after BBC newscast (on 9410), a tardy tune-in

off MW broadcasts in the country. Heard very good to excellent with
Grundig Satellit 205 and indoor short wire. NOTE: px followed up by

Somehow my original report of this is missing from the Roundup for
that week, so here it is now:

1380, Jan 15 at 0601-0641 UT, monitoring the MW DX test from
KQKD, 1380, Redfield SD. My report to CPC for eQSL:

Thanks for the test! First time I`ve heard KQKD, which is about 580
miles north of me in Enid OK.

I heard the VVV DE KQKD IDs immediately at 0601 UT January 15. I then
recorded 0605-0636 UT and later went thru the file to pick out two
areas with VVV VVV VVV DE KQKD KQKD KQKD - several times. Most of the
rest of the time if anything could be heard, it was sweep tones
upward, or solid tones. The recorder timing may not be too accurate,
but should be correct within 1 or 2 minutes.

Solid tones: 0611, 0612, 0616, 0627
Sweeps upward: 0613, 0625, 0629, 0631, 0635
Siren - varying tone: 0615

The first clip of Vs and IDs at about 0611; second clip about 0623.
One must listen closely but I am sure I copied ``KQKD`` several
times.

https://www.w4uvh.net/KQKDDX1.mp3
https://www.w4uvh.net/KQKDDX2.mp3

This was on my Icom R75, which runs off an east-west 100-foot
longwire, not well positioned for north/south reception. On MW I turn
off the preamps to avoid overload. Dominant station among lots of QRM
was Mexican music, probably KMUS Sperry/Tulsa OK, some 110 miles east
of here, 250 watts at night.

I also heard this on my DX-398 receiver with internal antenna only,
sweeps at 0607 UT. This allowed local 1390 KCRC Enid to be somewhat
nulled. In both cases tuned on LSB to minimize KCRC.

FYI, I did not employ any remote SDR at any time for this test.

Some background info about KQKD would also be of interest, such as
what the call letters may signify, either by original choice or
subsequent slogan formation. Looking forward to an eQSL. Thanks, and
73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Aug 20 at 0632, R. Vanuatu reconfirmed as still
AWOL. BTW, Ron Howard`s sesquiminute clip of it appears at the end of
WOR 2152 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
