** AUSTRAL ISLANDS. 28485 USB, April 24 at 2210, TX5N making very
quick contacts ``plus 5/10``. Where? Really part of French Polynesia,
but hams may have declared them a separate radio country? QRZ.com:

Raivavae - Austral Islands DX-pedition
TX5N.net

Several members of the Perseverance DX Group (PDXG) will activate
Raivavae Island (Austral Islands), French Polynesia, April 15 – April
29, 2022 for approximately 12 operating days. The plan is to have
radios on the air continually, as propagation allows.

The call sign TX5N was issued for this project. Team members include:
Steve W1SRD, Doris K0BEE, Rob N7QT, Melanie N7BX, Heye DJ9RR, Walt
N6XG and Gene K5GS. The team is planning to operate 160m – 10m
(including 60m), CW, SSB and Digital.

The team will meet in Papeete, Tahiti on April 12th and fly to
Raivavae on April 16th, returning to Papeete on April 28th. The team
expects to make between 60,000 – 80,000 QSOs

The operating location, Tama Raivavae Resort, will provide a small
bungalow for each team member and a separate building for radio
operations. Tama Raivavae has hosted many past DX-peditions.

Equipment will include Elecraft K3 transceivers with 500 and 1.5K watt
linear amplifiers. Antennas will be verticals and a hexbeam, antenna
placement will be on the beach. We expect to have some internet
availability for daily log uploads to M0URX.com

This project is self-funded by the team. We welcome donations via the
Donate button or with OQRS to offset equipment shipping expenses.
We are hoping that Covid doesn’t interfere with the project.``

Strangely, now hardly any activity on the official 27 MHz CB, but a
few Latin freebanders circa 28.4-28.5 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 13755, April 25 at 1454, two Chinese signals
mixing with fast SAH. EiBi shows at 1400-1500 it`s CNR1 jamming vs VOA
Mandarin via SAIPAN, both on days 135 only and this is Day 1 = Monday.
But contrarily, Aoki shows on days 246, and this is Day 2 = Monday,
RFA Cantonese via unknown site; which is it? They agree that after
1500 daily, 13755 should be only CRI Mandarin via Kashgar, East
Turkistan, standard denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 21530, April 25 at 2212, JBA carrier unseems birdie, while
there is no 21525 overrun today from WRMI. A similar fadey JBA carrier
on 18900 --- both of which match up in Aoki/NDXC as CNR1 jammer
frequencies vs Sound of Hope, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA. 28510 USB, April 24 at 2211, TI5VMJ calling CQ, QRZ.
And random 10m bandscan 24 hours later, April 25 at 2207, hits him
again with CQ on 28490 USB, and contact. Only a few other phone
signals on band, 28460 algo and a Spanish pileup on 28315. QRZ.com:

** JAPAN. 11655, April 25 at 1455, NHK IS, S6 with flutter. Bengali is
about to start direct from Yamata (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 25 at 1459, I`m standing by for V of
Martyrs Korea to start: *1500 cuts on with open carrier, 1500.5 cuts
on modulation in progress, usual Christian discussion in English,
mainly speaking the same one unID preacher; still no Dhivehi? Did not
listen to entire broadcast. S7/S9 with flutter direct. No ID or
introduxion of any sort. Time to check the references about this.
Still *nothing* in latest HFCC of April 24, nor ITU monitoring but
which was about the first quarter.

EiBi classifies as clandestine, i.e. because Sunni Islam is the only
state religion in target? but /XUU means unidentified site:
``11620 1500-1530 CLA Voice of Martyrs E MLD /XUU``

Aoki NDXC puts it in AUStralia, i.e. RBA Kununurra; unless Shepparton
be revived from the dead for this, but do they *know* it`s KNX or just
going along with some of our hypothesizing?:
``11620 1500-1530 AUS Voice of Martyrs Eng 1-7``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [and non]. Following news of explosions in Bryansk, as the
war is hitting withing Russia, I check one of the few KiwiSDRs in
western Russia, the ``Crazy`` one of R3YBN, April 25 at 2242. Yes, it
is still active but not getting much on SW. The 5.8-7.2+ MHz area
appears to be blocked on it, especially the contentious 40m hamband,
but some broadcaster on 7300; and MW 1386 is getting Ukrainske Radio
via LITHUANIA just fine, S9, ID at 2300. Bryansk is SW of Moskva,
about equidistant close to the real borders of Ukraine, and of
Belarus` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 21310 USB, April 24 at 2222, EH4WRD calling CQ, QRZ.

``EH4WRD Spain flag Spain

QRZ.com leads to this:
https://www.radioclubhenares.org/eh4wrd/

Evidently I caught it toward the very end of its World Radio Day span
from April 8 ending April 24. Op voice sounds like a YL, but no info
found about handles or home calls. She`s laughing occasionally as if
with someone in the shack rather than on air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 25 at 2200, no signal from VOT English direct,
just some RTTY; but at 2238 into UTwente, nice Tuerkisch musik at
S9+30/45 on 9830.021. Unclear whether it oncame late or simply not
propagating at all this far into nominal target (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, re UR1 via WRMI, UT Sunday April 24 at 0500:
``Glenn: There WAS an English segment. It started at about 39 minutes
after the hour in my recorded UR1 Internet stream. So quite a bit
later in the hour than usual. And, yes, there was some nice religious
music. Could even have been a service as you suggest. -- Richard
Langley`` --- and also this:

``I had a discussion about this with Walt Salmaniw a few weeks back. I
had figured out that the Ukrainian word for dot (transliterated) is
"krapka" and thought the announcement might be an e-mail address. Walt
said it's a website: "It’s encouraging civilians to sign up (everyone
can contribute to defeating russia). Проти.??.go.ua. Proty means
against. I couldn’t make out the second word. Indeed, krapka means
period or dot." It would be nice if we could get the full URL to check
it out. -- Richard Langley``

And I missed checking on UT Monday April 25. UT Tuesday April 26 at
0001 I am listening to 1386 via Bryansk SDR - see RUSSIA. And there is
the English segment with the YL announcer until 0008, recommended!!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2135 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 24 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, steady S9+7 into
nearby Noale KiwiSDR; no signals this time on 918 or 207 kHz.

Also confirmed Sunday April 24 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S8/S9 into
Maryland SDR, but with considerable ACI from 5945 rock music, which is
Romania in English. Into Knoxville SDR less of that and S9+20. This
time continues instead of a replacement show on program sked. If
anyone run across any other unsked time on WRMI, do let me know.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 25 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
Knoxville, S9+10 i.e. less fading into Maryland, both of which are
considerably off the southwesterly beam. BTW, just before, concluding
at 0029 was Antena DX from Chispa Estéreo in Panamá; which is supposed
to repeat at 0300 Monday on same, as I noticed too late.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 25 from 0259 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-,
S9+10/20 direct with considerable ACI from 6165 RHC. Measured at 0247
on 6159.941, but perpetual offset does not help, LSB tuning still
required. Why in the world are two SW stations in ``North America``
only 5.059 kHz apart? Stubbornness on both sides? Or failure to
recognize the opposition? Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW
2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed]
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW

** U S A. 21525, April 24 at 2220, S1-S5 open carrier. Got to be the
only 21525 station, WRMI-7, supposed to run 15-21 UT with nothing but
PAB`s Radio Africa including some despicable dead gospel huxters.
Forgot to turn it off? Left on for propagation study? Sporadic E must
be in play boosting it to much more than the usual JBA carrier to
here. *Still* on at 0047 check April 25, and now it`s S9! Still on at
0126 check; 0158 JBA, and inaudible maybe off by 0215 check. Yet April
25 at 1506, no 21525 signal at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490v), April 25 at 2300, secret Monday semi-repeat of
`UBMP` on WBCQ webcast, featuring melodic music for Ramadan, as Imam
UB declares there is nothing anti-musical in the Qur`an. Chopped off
at 2330 for `Camp Constitution Radio` with no extraneous commercial
any more.

[and non] BTW, earlier in Ramadan, the 2000 kW in NW corner of Sa`udi
Arabia on 1521 kHz was reported reactivated, presumably all-night for
Ramadan. Is it still? as Ramadan lasts until May 1. When 24h normally,
I`d sometimes hear its het upon 1520 KOKC even here in OK, and might
again in our evenings, if active. Well, April 25 at 2255, nothing on
1521 into Cyprus or Kuwait SDRs unlike some nearby frequencies altho
maybe not ideal for MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0014 UT April 26

4810Khz, R. Logos(P), Peru, San Martin; 18/04, 0935 – 0940 male Spanish talks on andean music (maybe an ID)”quatro de la manana com trinta e seis minutos...toda federación escuchando buena programación de la radio...”. Poor but partially readable; listening on 4808kHz to avoid STANAG on 4810 (LOB-B).    https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/np1Q3

3945kHz, R. Vanuatu; 21/04, 0924 – 0929 island music, male talks, phone talks by child. Fair to good; this quality of signal has been rare on 3945kHz (LOB-B).

6935kHz, AD149, Argentina; 23/04, 2231 – 2236 pop music selections. Fair; this station has been on the air more often lately. Previously it was no more than once a week (LOB-B).

** CHINA. 13530, April 24 at 1416, CNR1 S9/+10 QRMing CODAR; also at
1417, S8/S9 on 13020, JBA carriers on 13190 & 13130. At 1424 also on
15800, S9/+10 // 13530; and S5/S8 on 16100. All well-established spots
to jam Sound of Hope, except not listed in Aoki 13190, rather in that
area 13130 where I usually detect it; 13160 and 13170. All of those
are among the latest huge SOH/jammer monitoring by Wolfgang Bueschel
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, April 24 at 1415, S9 of dead air from RHC, then off*;
while 13700 is S9+20 undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 13740, April 24 at 0629, African language the SSOB S7/9+10,
drumming, ``RFI`` pronounced in French and off 0630*. It was Hausa.
North Atlantic path is becoming less and less dark overnight (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, April 24 at 0506, still NO signal from VOG/EPT/ERT.
This is when they used to air Greek Orthodox services Sunday mornings;
yet it`s GrOx Easter but nothing special as an exception, tsk2,
limited to MF 12-17 UT only. At least I cannot accuse them of
violating Separation of Church and State (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11775, April 24 at 0626, Cuban-style pulse jamming
atop weak station, presumed Denge Welat as now scheduled only here via
BULGARIA at 0530-1700, due east from ``Secretbrod`` as Ivo calls
Kostinbrod. No explanation why Cuba would jam this frequency, never?
used by Radio Marti, but used to be Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla.
Turkiye is presumably more interested in jamming DW, normally with
music on now vacant former 11530/11540; so has Cuban technology been
exported?

BTW, I`m astounded to spot in HFCC that WWCR has registered 11775 at
1200-2100 on the 46-degree antenna, i.e. #1 which is really on 15825.
Anything else imaginary? Plenty of alternatives: 15795 at 09-22; 12180
at 12-24; 7390 at 12-20; 6115 at 01-21 in addition to axual usage
21-01; 6090 at 21-12, 3215 at 21-12 beyond axual 01-11; 3195 at 21-01.
Note both 11775 and 6090, the two ex-Anguilla channels, by the same
frequency manager (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6915 USB, April 24 at 0044, S9/+10 pirate music
overcomes much of the high storm noise level --- NE/SW front across
central OK with tornado threats to OKC, Stillwater, but nothing around
Enid. All four major OKC TV stations blow away their primetime for
wall-to-wall storm coverage; KWTV especially boastful about its
equipment.

0045 Wolverine Radio ID, and at 0055, then ``Let the Good Times
Roll``; 0102 quick comparison to 7490 WBCQ about same on meter but
W.R. louder; when I get back at 0103, SSTV underway, and at 0105 as
soon as that`s over without a beat, DJ as Doctor DJ and/or Drunken DJ
Radio. Same transmitter? He even mentions Wolverine too. Mike is lo-fi
but talx a lot more than Wolv. Does not sound drunken to me: try
harder? 0110 outros songs unlike Wolv, `Once in a Lifetime` by Talking
Heads. 0113 shoutouts to reports on HF Underground. More songs. 0124
again referring to Wolverine as well as DDJR. 0126 first of two SSTVs;
0128 backstory about it and 0129 second SSTV. I do not recheck until
0325, when 6915 is *still* on acknowledging HFU reports including a
request from Bermuda.

Here are the HFU reports of both stations, no doubt including some
images so I don`t have to:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96301.0.html
Lots and lots of them, with playlists. Later: WDDR is on 6900, which
started with WDOG, confusing: see below report (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Apr 24 at 0326, another pirate on here
with rock at S9 direct; 0335 SFX noises like revving, then screaming
music; 0345 via Missouri SDR, SSTV; 0346 KDOG, K-dog ID, music. See:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96308.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6900 USB, Apr 24 at 0353, a third station while 6915
and 6950 are still running. Via Missouri remote: Rock, 0354 and over
music at 0355, WDOG ID in Morse code. See:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96307.0.html
0400 another ID with yips.

But at 0425 the 6900 station IDs as WDDR - Drunken DJ Radio, earlier
on 6915. Now only 6900 remains on. At 0437 says he has finished his
bottle of wine. 0500 still on, 0502 says is getting a buzz, will play
one more tune, HFU replies; 0508 now is pulling out one more one more
tune from YT, as closing windows, now sounds inebriated. Is really off
by 0515 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 24 at 0500, UR1 via WRMI, no English
segment today, understandably, since it`s Orthodox Easter: some lovely
music, a lasting legacy of religionism. It`s 8 am in Ukraine, so I
wonder if this be a live E-morning service; or maybe recorded from
previous evening, if any. After 0515 mostly UU talk (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2135 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 23 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, S9 into UTwente but avoid RTTY warble
on LSB, or reduce bandwidth <3.5 kHz. By 1957 has faded to S5/6.

Also confirmed Saturday April 23 at 1946 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG
S9+8 into nearby SDR, ending at 2002 so started about 1933.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
TWR RGV SDR; S9 direct but JBA vs high OK storm noise level.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 24 at 0336 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+20 direct but in hi storm noise level, about 3 minutes into so
started circa 0333; at 0344 via nearby SDR, S9+10 but better S/N
against storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 24 at 1337 on WMRI Europe via Channel
292 Germany, 9670, about 7 minutes into the 1330 airing, S9 into
UTwente, and zero signal direct. Next:
