** CANADA [and non]. 800 kHz, April 14 at 0606 UT, after hearing
Mexican NA probably XEROK, where it`s ``midnight``, English talkshow
giving phone 1-800-675-1010. Most likely CKLW Windsor, easily dominant
here despite KQCV and the other 800s at night; so suspect with a
network program originating at 1010 CFRB, Toronto. Anyone confirm?
Reverse phone lookups are extremely unhelpful. Both are now iHeart
stations with same show `Power Play` at 2 am, but websites show
different call-in numbers. There are 5 other Canadians on 800, the
others not listed as news/talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 14 at 0552, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30, just barely
modulated, minuscule improvement since my last check at 0109 of a
trace. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13912, 13841, 13771; 13629, 13559, 13489, 13418, 13348,
13268-trace, all wide and approx., April 14 at 1317, spurblobs out of
13700-AM RHC, with F# tones and in FM quiet audio on the closer ones,
approx 70-71 kHz intervals.

13981-trace, 13911, 13841, 13770; 13630, 13560, 13490, 13420,
13279-trace, April 14 at 1353, another survey finds them slightly
different averaging closer to 70 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, April 14 at 2223, this RHC is off while it should have
been in French; while 11950 is on early? By 2315-2317, 11880 is on
during English, merely S9, undermodulated during North American
weather outlook but fade down when name of Chief Meteorologist is
outroed. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, April 14 at 0602, JBA carrier, in bandscan
going up from 531 kHz, now too late to hear anything from Europe,
until I get to 1215; but not too early to hear R. Kiribati in the UT
+14 zone equivalent to UT -10 plus a day. Really no other possibility
so I dare not to declare it unID tho I never get any audio (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW kHz, April 14 at 0558 UT, Enid`s one and only ND
beacon, EI, is reactivated at Woodring Airport, 25 watts. Checking for
it nightly, not heard since March 26, when it showed briefly after
another silence since March 15. Now mixing with OIN, Oberlin, Kansas.
EI still on, alone and reconfirmed in daytime 2128 UT April 14. For
how long this time? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 17614.986, April 14 at 1405, JBA carrier and also the
SSOB and OSOB, surely SRI/SBA, which used to be slightly offset to the
plus side, now varying more downward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 14 at 2058, REE is JBA S2, but axually improves
later, N American frequency both on the air and propagating this late
for the first time in the A-21 season. By 2157 it`s S7-S8 and better
than 15520 now which was S5 an hour ago. 11940 is S5-S7 as token
Wednesday English starts at 2200. 11685 for Africa, normally the
worst, is now S6-S8. Justin Coe introduces: feature after some news
will be about the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Second
Republic in 1931y; and concluding about Catalan composer Federico
Mompou. First news by Alison is doubling of COVID-19 cases in Spain
due to a fourth wave caused by eased restrixions for Holy Week {DUH!).
17855 down to S7 by 2207, some fadeouts to 2210. At 2211, 15520 a JBA
carrier; 2212 about República 2 underway as I find 11940 best. By
2214, 17855 is almost gone. We shall hear how well it hold up as more
and more insolation brighten the North Atlantic path over the next
bimonth, with 17855 starting out at ``midnight`` local time for
English. Probability of sporadic E boosting it into further F2
refraxions is also going up but unreliable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 14 at 2158, VOT IS vs RTTY, so is on today;
2205 during English news, careful `545 notching almost eliminates the
RTTY as variable bandwidth and passband also help audiblize it. But
TRT can hardly expect such capability at every receiver. Something`s
always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2081 monitoring: Richard Langley, NB,
confirms the 0230 UT Monday April 12 on WRMI 7780 but 5800 not
checked.

Confirmed here Wednesday April 14 at 2100 & 2200 the pileup of airings
late in the program week: at 2100, JBA on WRMI 7780; and ~20 seconds
later on WBCQ 7489.92v, S7-S8. Also confirmed at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9
peaks but fades vs jamming. Next, and last:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

UNIDENTIFIED. 4905, April 14 at 0553, JBA carrier vs CODAR. Normally
hear nothing, sometimes RTTY. Certainly not Tibet at midday there,
leaving R. Relógio Federal, Brasil, which is sometimes reported but
not by me. IIRC despite the legacy timesignal name, it`s gospel-huxter
programming, the only other known possibility; unless another ute

** ANDORRA [non]. More info on the R. Andorra tribute via AUSTRIA,
April 12 at 1700-2045 UT I heard on 6180 via UTwente SDR:

``And the presentator will be Max Lafontaine, former announcer
(1970-1972). A nice souvenir for people who were in Andorra for EDXC
2019 (Christian Ghibaudo, France, BDXC-UK news April 10 via BC-DX)``

``RADIO ANDORRA HIT PARADE. For those who haven't been able to listen
to the Monday night special broadcast, There is a podcast.

(via Ghibaudo, April 13, BDXC-UK news)`` (via gh, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 11895, April 13 at 0608, Chinese at S9, as RFA is
scheduled 0300-0700 via SAIPAN. Don`t think it be jammer as nothing
else on 25mb, besides 11725 NZ; not even 11835 Vanuatu/China (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA

** CUBA. 6000, April 13 at 0559, RHC English is back on correct
frequency after stray to 5990 last night, now overpowering weak Mali
5995 properly from the plus side, as last hour repeat starts a bit
early into news already. Also on 6060 with some buzzes; 6100 with some
squeals; 6165 with some hum; and 5040 is off. Somethings` always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11980, April 14 at 0050. CRI English, S8 fading to S5 and
undermodulated, i.e. 2 x relay on 5990, confirmed by // on two
receivers. Someone else heard this recently but did not realize it
could be an harmonic, altho I have reported it a number of times
before. Not always audible, but something is always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 14 at 0109, R. Rebelde is S9+30 of dead air, or
with a trace of modulation? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, April 14 at 0113, surprise, RHC in English here,
supposedly only Spanish, S9+30 and better than // 6000 & 6165; and
it`s the 13 MHz OSOB. During weather outlook for all of North America,
including USA, Mexico, Central America, Cuba, temps in F&C, from
``Cuba`s Chief Meteorologist``, didn`t catch his name, who will be
back tomorrow. A new feature? Never encountered that before. Perhaps
trying to one-up Radio Martí, which has long provided Cuban weather
info from afar. But is English on 13740 another feed mixup, like when
once heard on 11850? (not now - still suptorted Spanish); an
experiment or an intentional summer improvement? Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. Re my report of 4752: ``Looks like R. Huanta 2000. Website:
https://radiohuanta2000.com/ not as in WRTH with fm after
2000...``

Dr Hansjoerg Biener replies 13 April on the WOR iog: ``Peru: It is a
very difficult task to keep track of websites, e-mail addresses, phone
numbers etc. It seems that Huanta 2000 regained the rights for the
domain (note the copyright year 2021 for the design). According to my
files http://www.radiohuanta2000.com/ was used in 2016 but became
unavailable in 2017. It was then replaced by the domain
http://radiohuanta2000fm.com for about two years. In 2019 I noted that
the new "fm"-domain had expired, but I was unable to find any new
website``.

4752.464, hearing it again tonight via TWR KiwiSDRs Bonaire & Boa
Vista, Apr 13 from 2358 with music thru hourtop, mostly talk after
0009 April 14, S7 but unreadable with a lot of storm noise altho
Blitzortung shows very little lightning in northern S America, so
maybe from C America if not Oklahoma. Still past 0026 but gone at 0035
recheck; did not hear it cut off, but that was exactly when it did so
last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7420, April 14 at 0057, RRI with music not // 7375 IS, so
separate programming unlike all-English last time I heard them. But
something`s wrong with the 7420 transmitter: altho quite strong, the
signal level is pulsing, more obvious on S-meter if I attenuate it; at
same time as the frequency wobbles slightly, revealed by BFO. 0100
break for RRI ID in Romanian, back to music but cuts off the air by
0101.5*. 7420 is Galbeni, supposed to run Romanian 0000-0157; 7375 is
Tsiganeshti, English until 0057, French as heard from 0100 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Apr 14 at 0051, S Asian music from SLBC, VP S8-S5
with flutter both vertically and horizontally, i.e. signal level and
signal frequency, Doppler effect on trans-polar route. A few years ago
this started circa 0115 with mistimesignals I would track (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

3945 R Vanuatu, nor CNR2 as sked; suspect RV be absent, as still
getting Chinese on 11895 S9 from presumed Saipan (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205.038, April 13 at 2356, ROCV with dance music, S8-S9
via TWR Boa Vista, Brasil SDR, distorted but stronger than TWR Bonaire
was getting it, and now S5-S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7828-USB, April 14 at 0055, 2-way in Spanish, repeatedly

** ANDORRA [non]. 6180, R. Andorra tribute special via AUSTRIA,
continued from previous report starting at *1700 April 12:

Mostly unfamiliar pop songs in French, obviously from the 70s/80s. Tho
playlist includes half a dozen in English by big names, which I never
catch except for one I don`t recognize either, checking in
occasionally from 1730 to 2030. Also some long segments interviewing
DJ. Apparently a count-up rather than count-down, spoiler alert! Plays
leading songs in the Top 50 at first, and by 2000 UT working down into
the 40s, heading toward finale by 2045. At 2037, just in case, I check
it direct to here, but still too early, no signal (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, April 13 at 0254 UT, Canadian Coast Guard
robo-YL, not with marine weather but message about COVID-19 travel
restrixions against US vessels? entering Canadian waters. As usual,
hard to copy it clearly. Nothing on NL frequency 2598-USB now but
2749-USB would be VCS-21, one sesquikilowatt from Halifax starting at
0240; not listed as bilingual at dxinfocentre.com but switches to
robotic French at 0257.7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, April 13 at 0226, RHC is S8-S9, JBM so I can barely
decide it`s Spanish, instead of English which has shown here by
mistake before. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, S9+30, April 13 at 0233, and 6165, S9+20/30 both with
equally sufficient RHC English modulation for a change (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** PERU. Tnx to this tip on the WOR iog at 0017 UT April 13 from Lúcio
Otávio Bobrówiec, Brasil: ``Spanish talks on 4752 kHz seems a LA
station. 4764, Huanta 2000 silent for some 3 weeks. Congratulations
Glen! 73 Lucio, Brasil`` ---

Got it immediately at 0030 via Bonaire SDR on 4752.15 - Spanish with
reverb, live remote? Promoting a ``Casa de Campesinos``, --- ``aquí en
Perú`` --- with phone 940-99-77-28. Brief song, then mentions
Huamanga, another phone 996+. 0035 suddenly off leaving CODAR. Not on
4764 either. Looks like R. Huanta 2000. Website is:
https://radiohuanta2000.com/
not as in WRTH with fm after 2000. Audio en Vivo does not work. On
page are other phones starting with 933, 960. Tuned around but not
found on 4747 or elsewhere - just 4775 Tarma, and horrible spurs from
4765 Cuba about 4783 and 4747 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11940, Monday April 12 at 2203, REE token English underway,
best here on SAm frequency as 17855 to NAm is not propagating at all,
or equally likely, off. 15520 JBA; 11685 is second best with no RTTY.
Alison Hughes with a few news stories: elexion in Ecuador with large
showing by indigenous write-in candidate; Israeli cyberattack on Iran
nuclear; Yemen vs Sa`udi Arabia; Myanmar; Gagarin in space
anniversary. Then another YL with feature on ``magical trio`` of art
musea in Madrid. By now 11940 is fading down; if NAm were still on
9690 it would remain loud & clear. 2224 Justin Coe concludes with a
Blues concert, something new in Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 12 at 2202, no RTTY to bother VOT in English,
but still no good, undermodulated on S9/S6 signal. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205.039v, April 13 at 0138, ROCV, poor only noisy S6-S7
into TWR Bonaire SDR, romantic music with loud noise bursts every few
seconds, which seem to be transmission or feed defect rather than QRM.
0143.5 Morse code ID cuts thru but barely readable talk including
``R-O-C-V``, back to vocal music. Still the same past 0208.

At 0235 I check 6205 direct to here: as usual ROCV achieves no more
than a JBA carrier --- but the noise bursts hit S8, *much* stronger
now, as loud as they were in Bonaire, while ROCV can`t surpass the
background noise level of S2-3. Therefore the bursts *are* external
QRM against poor ROCV, not its own defect. Further, I can now tell
that the noise is on LSB only, inaudible in USB.

At 0310, Bonaire is still running as I hear another ROCV ID in code
and voice go by, continuing VP with the noise bursts, also LSB only.
Maybe time for another QSY? Has ROCV been off? Last report of it I
find was April 4 by Manuel Méndez, Spain. I had not sought it lately;
my last log was April 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANDORRA [non]. 6180, April 12 at *1700, Moosbrunn on abruptly with
anthem? by band, ID as R. Andorra in Spanish, rock music,
French-speaking DJ. This is the much-publicized 40th anniversary
salute to a long-gone SW station, arranged by Christian Milling of
Germany`s shortwaveservice, who informs the WOR iog:

``Special program announcement: As some of you know, the legendary
Radio Andorra was taken off the air these days 40 years ago in 1981 by
the government. Some programs that were prepared couldn't be aired,
most of the material is lost. Luckily, the playlist of the last
planned hit-parade from April, 12th 1981 survived, thus it was never
broadcasted. 40 years later this will finally be done. Next Monday,
April, 12th 2021 at 17 UTC, exact 40 years later we will complete
history. The show will be hosted by a DJ that started his career in
Radio Andorra end of the 1970s. The program will be in French and
broadcasted via Moosbrunn on a steerable LogPer Antenna directed at
270° towards the centre of France. All French-speaking countries in
Europe should be covered in good quality.``

VG S9+40 signal at UTwente, and assumed zero signal direct at midday
here. This is to last 3 or maybe 4 hours today. 1741-1751 pause for
interview about the DJ and his subsequent career. Could not catch his
name, which was mentioned only once in advance discussion I have not
yet relocated.

There really should be some Catalan if not Spanish, English. Here`s
some Catalan with the playlist of 50+songs, found by roger:

My 1960 QSL card for R. Andorra, 5972, can be viewed, #14 & 15 at
http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html (Glenn Hauser, HBD 76, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non?]. 11675, April 12 at 1504, S9-S7 in Chinese, then
music, definitely only one signal but this time it smax of RFA as
scheduled this hour only via SAIPAN, rather than of a CNR1 jammer
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, April 12 at 0132, RHC is S9/+10 of dead air, Spanish
or English? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, April 12 at 0536, undermodulated RHC English S9+30
instead of 6000! Presumably confused while 5990 is intentional earlier
for CRI relays at 23-01. Aoki shows both from Quivicán, but must be
separate units as both scheduled between 00 and 01. In any event, RHC
still gets Mali 5995 adjacented from one side or the other if after
0600.

Now at 0536 I check the other RHCs: 6060 S9+ same undermodulation, and
NO buzz for a change; 6100, S9+10/20 but undermod; 6165, S9+10/20 but
noisy. 5040, S9+20/30 even English. So here we have The Cuban Five all
in axion. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13490-trace, 13560 vs local ISM pulsing, 13630; 13769, 13839,
13909, 13979-trace, April 12 at 1419, FMish spurblobs but with no
program mod, just F# tones, out of 13700-AM RHC Spanish. Not in the
order tuned, at 69-70 kHz intervals. All gone by 1500. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non?]. 9805.4-CW, April 12 at 1510, beepstrings much stronger
than residual jammer noise against OCB which is currently on 9805 only
at 10-13. They are continuous at steady rate of 100/minute but don`t
last a full minute between pauses. Individual strings last anywhere
from 22 to 35 to 57 beeps, per three different counts; and during each
string there is one out-of-step pause. These continue to be associated
with after-hours Cuban jamming frequencies, as recently heard near
11860, 11930, 13605. SAWA.

This also reminds me of the old Soviet jammers, which would ``ID`` by
two CW letters at least once a minute; the one which still stix in my
mind was ZG: --../--. Probably secret random coding, but now that
reminds me of Zhigulevsk, except Zh is not the same letter as Z.
I researched some websites about Soviet jamming, a few
mentioning the ID setup, but not ZG. But I digress (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2081 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 11 from 2000 UT on IRRS via Challenger Radio, Italy, 594 kHz, as
heard via nearby Noale KiwiSDR, S9+15 with Moroccan het on plus side
so tuned to LSB; also audible at UTwente, S9+10 but noisier, autonotch
deletes the het.

WOR 2081 also confirmed Sunday April 11 after 2200 on Area 51 webcast
--- but cannot find any modulation from WBCQ 6160, tho remote detects
the carrier, noisy at Rochester offset -92 Hz (while 7490 -66 Hz with
UBMP is OK). Here I measure it on 6159.91, carrier with no audio. By
2343 recheck via Rochester and Alexandria, now it`s musicking. Tsk2:
last week on A51 it was previous week`s WOR; this week no SW mod. At
0124 Apr 12 remeasured here on 6159.910.

Also confirmed Sunday April 11 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, S9+5/15 to
UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Mon Apr 12 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, good direct.

Missed checking Mon Apr 12 at 0230 on WRMIs 5800 & 7780; anyone?

Next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 3215, Apr 12 at 0546, WWCR is S9+20 of dead but noisy air
instead of TOMBS, now more apropos a monicker than ever. 4840 is OK
with oldtimeradio; 5890 with TOMBS like still on 5850 WRMI. I notice
that a lot of times now, they are playing BS attempting to sing,
sometimes lapsing into glossolalia. That must mean he`s divinely
inspired with godspeak! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED.13557.7-LSB, April 12 at 1417, 2-way in Spanish,
impinging into the ISM band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
