** CUBA. 5040, June 8 at 0605, S9+20 of dead air from RHC; the rest of
The Cuban Five: 6165 is also dead air in English, S9+10. 6100 is off;
6060 humbuzz; 6000 still on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13638 & 13762 approx., June 8 at 1413, weak spurblobs with F#
tone but no program modulation, out of modulated 13700-AM RHC Spanish,
at plus/minus ~62 kHz offsets; but no further multiples audible.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. In order to cite a precise cutoff time of the q.v.
UGANDA [non] on 15170, I then tune the same UTwente to 9996 for RWM to
calculate how much internet delay there may be and also as a correxion
factor for my watch. No timesignals audible on 10000, but RWM is quite
good. Unfortunately it`s running a continuous carrier 1534-1538. What
good is that, when it could be ticking or pipping?? 1538 silence; 1539
the minute of RWM CW IDs over and over. 1540 resumes pips, some
doubled, with extended one at tops of minutes such as 1541:000 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UGANDA [non]. And I do mean non! Another check of 15170 with test
transmissions at 1500-1530, Tue June 8: tune-in 1501 via UTwente,
seems the same technically as other days despite far different IRRS
``MIL`` azimuth registered for Tuesdays only. Is on exactly 15170.000,
a datum which might in itself be significant in pinning it on a site.
But today, not a word about Uganda politix! Instead country/rock songs
in English at first, S9+15; 1510 cut to `Astronomy-cast`, weekly
program #605, informal discussion between unID OM host and YL expert
Pamela, first about telescopes on rockets. Keeps going until chopped
off the air at 1529:04*.

This is typical IRRS programming, presumably continuous on webcast,
pulling fragments of various webprograms/podcasts at odd times to fill
out the ``schedule``. Most of them probably unaware of their worldwide
SW audience! Now will there be anything on Wednesday, the only DOW
skipped in HFCC registrations?

Here`s that podcast, total time 1:00:35:
http://www.astronomycast.com/2021/05/ep-605-sounding-rockets/
leads to YouTube where we may also see the duo in split-screen

AstronomyCast episode 605: Sounding Rockets.

``Fraser: Welcome to AstronomyCast, our weekly facts-based journey
through the cosmos, where we help you understand not only what we
know, but how we know what we know. I’m Fraser Cain, publisher of

Scientist for the Planetary Science Institute, and the director of

** U S A [and non]. 12050, June 8 at 1528, WEWN Spanish is back here
after several days on 12040, so it my collide again with Ndarason at
19-21. Current EiBi as of June 5 already had them moved to 12040. Tnx
to tip from Rick Barton, AZ.

Just after 19 UT I explore how they share/collide via various remotes:
Bonaire, only WEWN VG; Buenos Aires, and Namibia, neither! TWR South
Africa is always ``blocked`` when I go to it; is it just me, or
everyone? There are no remotes anywhere near Chad, but Kuwait is
getting Ndarason only, well from Woofferton.

After 2000 I check 12050 on the portable PL-880 here: WEWN is atop but
considerable QRM from RNI/WOF underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6115, June 9 at 0040 and still 0044, dead air from WWCR-1,
or rather occasional traces of distorted modulation peaks. Wiggle that
patchcord! How can anystation expect anyone to listen, or more
pertinently, anyone to pay for airtime, when no one at the station
itself is constantly monitoring to be sure there are no problems??
Scheduled during this hour is `Financial Survival`, ha2, tsk2.
Refund? Now entering 33rd year on air, act still not together.

WWCR traditionally modifies its transmission schedule by June, and the
current one dated May 29-August 31 is now shown at
https://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html
Nothing exciting, but there may have been some shifts in timespans of
the same old frequencies; I have not tried to compare with the
previous one, no longer exhibited (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 17895.070, June 7 at 1427, Qur`an at S3-S5 about
equal to noise level; hardly anything else on 16m except their other
frequency slightly minus from 17615, not measured (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, June 7 at 2200, REE English is good today, S9 with
some fades to S6. Amy Egan first with what`s happening in Spain, about
Catalan independence; Justin Coe later; at 2220 he starts to play
Miles Davis` jazz version of `Concierto de Aranjuez` but I can`t stand
to hear it with so much distortion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 7 at 2200, no signal from VOT English (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UGANDA [non]. 15170.000, Monday June 7, I`m running late but bring
up UTwente just in time at 1527.5 to confirm that the mystery station
has been on the air again today as well as Sat & Sun, S9/+10, just
hilife music fill until 1529*.

The question is, whether it will be any different on Day 3 = Tuesday
per HFCC registration with a very different azimuth - from somewhere.
Day 4 - Wednesday is the only day lacking either broadcast, according
to that.

On June 4, I asked Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS:

``Alfredo, Could you identify the service on 15170 at 1500 UT by name
and target, possibly contact info? Tnx, Glenn``

His reply June 7: Re: 15170 program
Alfredo Cotroneo <alfredo@nexus.org>

``Sorry, the broadcast is still under test, and the (legitimate
organisation, not clandestine) client does not wish to make their name
and address public for the time being.

Would you or any listener have any message, we will kindly relay it to
them. Please email any message to reports@nexus.org with the
**Explicit** request of the message to be forwarded to the producers.
This is necessary for privacy/GDPR reasons for EU citizens.

Please refer to them when and if they provide a contact address during
their broadcast. Best 73s. Alfredo``

Yes, they have been operating out of Ireland for several years,
suspected for tax reasons. On-air announcements never mention Ireland,
and continue to give Milano postal address. While somewhere on their
other website, it says not to be used. ``IRRS`` is conveniently
ambiguous.

ROMANIA? Despite Dave Kenny`s hearing an RRI IS once at the end of a
15170 transmission, this is not necessarily conclusive! These are
after all *tests* which may very well involve different transmitter
sites on different occasions (gh)

Further discussion of this from the WOR iog:

Re: [WOR] Uganda broadcast 15170 kHz
Jun 7 at 11:08 AM

``My suspicion that the African language in Glenn's recording also was
Lugandan. It was not Swahili because the sounding was different than
Swahili language to my ears.

I tried to search one of the presenters mentioned Ibrahimi
Kasatu/Casatu or similar.... but I found nothing until this time.

We shall not forget that the station is not necessarily a NUP party
station but heavily leaning toward that party. Maybe their
simpathizers are running the station until the fundings allows them to
do. They are all amateurs in broadcasting, they don't know how to use
microphone correctly or make humless audio, did you hear the deep
electric hum at the beginning? Maybe a non-correctly shielded
microphone or other non-shielded audio equipment caused it.

Hearing the available recordings (thanks for everyone for it) it seems
that the music fragments under the speeches are from mobile phone as
the phone rings (ring tone) and the music with which the mobile phone
signals that it received a SMS or e-mail message.

``Fair to poor at 1518 today in south-central British Columbia.
Harold Sellers, Vernon, BC`` June 7

``The new Ugandan clandestine station on 15170 kHz at 1500 UT provided
a fairly good signal into NB today (7 June). But somewhat stronger
into the U. Twente SDR receiver. Recorded at both sites. Predominantly
in English today with a bit of Luganda. Transmission started with a
minute or so of an English-language (American-accented) news program
before an IRRS, Milano, ID before the Ugandan program. Just a bit of
music and at beginning and end of the program. The talk by Rashid
Kasaato seemed to end at about 1520 and then there were two repeats of
some parts of the talk before the closing music and transmitter
sign-off at 1529. I did not hear mention on any website or e-mail
address or station name. At one point the speaker said "... on this
channel, we'll be letting you know when you should really tune in ..."
But what is the channel called? -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13089-USB, June 7 at 2210, robotic marine weather, slightly
distorted on a USCG frequency, dealing only with forecasts of wind
speeds and direxions, and ``seas``, i.e. how wavy; mentions area
concerned as Atlantic waters between 19 and 22 degrees north, 55 and
65 west, i.e. north of the Leeward Islands. Surely it`s NMN Chesapeake
VA, despite EiBi showing it at 2130-2205, and the only other station
supposedly on at 2210 would be NRV Guam at 2130-2215 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2089 monitoring: Sunday June 6 at
2200 on WBCQ: ``Glenn, Yes, WOR did air in its entirety on 6160.
Started a couple of minutes late but the entire program was heard.
This is when I normally listen to WOR. John Carver, Mid-North
Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
