KVOH will not be heard any day on 17775, a frequency it left months ago.

** CUBA. 6040-6080, April 9 at 0602, RHC 6060 transmitter is not only
burying its English under big humbuzz, but splashing out over this
range, e.g. ruining 6070 CFRX. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

5040 & 6000 & 6100 are off, but 6165 remains with English at S9+10/20
tho undermodulated; not 6145 this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13505-trace, 13570, 13635; 13765, 13830, 13895, 13960-trace,
April 9 at 1350, RHC spurblobs with F# tones at approx. 65 kHz
intervals out to 4th order from source 13700-AM at S9-S4 weaker than
// 13740 which is clean. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, April 9 at 1358, this RHC is off; 1500 recheck is on
at S9+20/30 with good mod // 11760. Aoki says 15140 from *1400 but
EiBi from *1100. SAWA? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [and non]. Re this: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 15340, April 3 at 1705,
I`m checking an A-21 frequency HFCC-registered for RMI via France,
q.v.: there is a JBA carrier, but it`s surrounded by DRM-like noise,
where nonesuch is scheduled. Weak, and I can`t get any remote to lock
and decode it as DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``

i.e.: ``15340 1700 1800 48W Mul 127 250 1234567 DTWT [Alameda BF?]``

Ivo Ivanov reported on April 4: ``Dimtse Wegahta Tigray Voice of Dawn
Tigray, 1700-1800 on 15340 ISS 250 kW / 127 deg to EaAf Tigrinya +
white noise jamming`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2081)

** HAWAII. Re the fonetix I heard ending the :50 minute announcement
on WWVH, I check 10000 again April 8 at 0550: it`s about MARS activity
on ``60`` meters, foneticizing website DOD.ORG. How is it that of all
USG/military activities, this merits time on WWV/H? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** INDONESIA. When checking HFCC for Romania A21 sked, I hit RRI
instead of RRO, and come up with this TOTALLY IMAGINARY sked for
Indonesia, including 3325 relay via Playa-de-Pals, the long-destroyed
R. Liberty site on the coast of Spain! Makes HFCC a laughingstock:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A21&broadc=RRI
53 entries; language for all, long-dead domestic sites is English! Why
not?! These are presumably sprinkled thruout the by-frequency A-21
schedule; beware! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 26, April 9 at 1508 UT, KOTV Tulsa on its repacked
channel ex-45; with level 1-2-3 tropoblobs between Tulsa and here,
barely decodes via my broken antenna for ID but not audiovideo: 6-1
KOTV-HD; 6-2 KQCW-SD; 6-3 NewsOn6. Also BAD signals on 15 and 21. Now
both Wichita and Tulsa are on some same channels, which would have
been unthinkable in the Analog Era.

Rabbitears.info shows the same KOTV trios also on RF 19 in McAlester
OK, RF 30 in Caney KS, low powers 1 kW ERP; same callsigns??

https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=kotv
I would check the other major reference, W9WI.com but even ``created
4-9-2021`` it`s still Canadian-only. FCC TV Query calls them all
KOTV-DT as ``Tulsa`` not mentioning far McAlester or Caney; only the
coördinates imply them! (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9660, April 9 at 0554, RRI closing 0530 English, S9-S7
citing further English times and frequencies. First time noticing this
right next to Brasil 9665-. Springy propagation improving? No, HFCC
shows NOT supposed to be on 9660 at 0530-0600, rather 0500-0530
French, and 0630-0700 Arabic! So stayed on an extra semihour? 0530
English supposed to be only on 6015, 7325 and 17760; one of which
probably DRM, not specified at
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A21&broadc=RRO
See also INDONESIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9395, April 9 at 0553, TOMBS via WRMI, only
poor S4-S6; something on 9455 JBA carrier, presumably SMTV. WRMI
skedgrid still dated April 2, the day before BS died, still shows him
on 6 frequencies during the 05-06 hour: 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 7780,
9395 --- but 7570 and 7780 are still gone. Not sure at what hour they
QRT, but TOM had been starting at 04 on 7780; was continuous 00-11 on
7570. The latter jamfree bigsig beamed NW across America could/should
be re-occupied with significant evening programming (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 17855, April 7 at *1800, REE is S9 here but deep
fades and bound to expire in an hour or so; `24 Horas` domestic
newscast all about new regulations coping with COVID-19 in Spain. Poor
as it may be, is the SSOB, vs JBA carriers on adjacent 17850, 17720,
17700, i.e. per HFCC: 17850 RFI ISS; 17720 AWR Nauen? supposed to
finish Oromo at 1800; 17700 something from Woofferton, World`s Last
Chance in English per Aoki; no longer VOA NC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Alfredo Cotroneo advises me that IRRS will no
longer broadcast WOR Mondays at 1800 UT on 7290, replaced by something
else. A new time for WOR has now been found, SATURDAYS at 1800v on
7290 --- this means listeners will get more timely info on the program
produced late UT Thursdays. Tnx, Alfredo. In addition:

``Here is the new schedule of WOR on IRRS:
FRI 2030 UT on 594 kHz + streaming (*)
SAT 1800 UT on 7290 kHz+ 594 kHz + streaming
SAT 2330 UT streaming only
SUN 2100 UT 594 kHz
(*) this should provide best propagation to Europe on MW. It will be
even better when we move to 918 kHz, which will be less noisy.``

** CUBA. 6145, April 8 at 0541, RHC English back here instead of 6165
instead of 9700, S9+20 but undermodulated. Now = UM on 6100 S9/+10,
6000 S9+20/30, and 5040 S9+20/30 --- but 6060 is dead air at S9+10
with some hum only instead of big humbuzz; progress? Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, April 8 at 1430, RHC Spanish back here during `Sonido
Cubano` music, S9+10/20 but no spurs and not on 13740 either where the
spurunit appeared yesterday. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 13710, April 8 at 1455, CRI S9+10/S7 with flutter,
in American-English chat, i.e. Kashgar scheduled this hour only, to be
replaced by Sa`udi Qur`an at 1457. From the land of ChiCom imperialist
persecution, even genocide against native Uyghurs and other Moslems
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, April 8 at 0534, JBA carrier no doubt RNZP, far
too late to be useful here instead of 9, 11 or even 13 MHz channels;
now scheduled until 0558, but Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, has been hearing
it running even later until 0645* instead of 11725 from *0559 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-AM, April 8 at 0546, JBA nothing but talk,
sounds like a real station. Search for //s: not TOMBS on WRMI or WWCR;
not any of my 3 Enid locals 960, 1390, 1640. No big 7 MHz signals
which could leapfrog here. 6970 does not compute as any MW harmonic
either. I notice that 6970 happens to be 2 x 3485, where Gander VOLMET
is, but USB of course and not // either.

It`s S9 but so is the local noise level, so mostly unreadable. At 0600
fades up a bit, 0603 with anti-Biden talk, denouncing ``far left`` so
I bet it`s Fox News Channel TV audio. YES, I soon match it to FNC on
cable 48 here, a few seconds ahead of that during Sean Hannity repeat.
[BTW, our Suddenlink office was closed down yesterday for state tax
violations!] Also occasional machine-gun rat-a-tat-tat QRM, utility I
assume, tho the paranoid might conclude it be jamming.

Later I check HF Underground and find NO logs of it tonight as there
is hardly any pirate activity or DXing this late at night; but FNC has
been reported several times before on 6970, in full daytime, most
recently January 26 at 1755 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed April 7 at 2126, REE JBA carrier on so-called
North American service; 15520 to ME backwards is better but still poor
S3-S5; 11940 to S America best at S5-S8; 11685 to Africa JBA vs RTTY
11687.5 except with LSB tuning. By 2158, 11940 is fair-poor S4-S5 as
token M/W/F English is about to begin (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 7 at 2158, VOT IS is JBA vs RTTY CCI; still JBA
at 2226 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2080 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday April 7 at 2100 on WBCQ 7489.922, offset -78v Hz as measured
by Virginia SDR in SAM mode, S9/+20; while simul on WRMI 7780 is S9+10
but undermodulated in comparison. Also direct to here at 2125 check,
7490- is JBA S5, 7780 JBA S4-S8.

Also confirmed Wed Apr 7 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 generally over
pulse jamming, same by 2226 recheck.

Confirmed final repeat, UT Thursday April 8 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, good
S9/+10 into VA KiwiSDR.

Next WOR 2081 should be ready by early UT Friday April 9 for first
airings at 0130 on WRMIs, 5850 & 7780.

BTW, this week, April 5, the Monday 1801 broadcast on IRRS 7290,
Bulgaria? Romania? was also heard on X2 = 14580 via UTwente SDR,
reports Ralf Ladusch, Germany in A-DX via Wolfgang Büschel. I`m adding
14580 to my WOR schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Ron Howard, CA, replies to my previous logs:

``Hi Glenn, Clearly the propagation conditions change a great deal for
11835 reception; changing on a daily basis. April 8 (Thursday),
checked 11835, from 0451 to 0705 UT. At tune in there was certainly
only one station being heard (R. Vanuatu harmonic), with no trace at
all of CNR2; at 0500, no hint of time pips from CNR2. About 0545,
started to hear CNR2 fading in; 0600, clear China time pips and RV
extremely weak (totally unusable) underneath; CNR2 continued to gain
in strength, while RV got harder to hear underneath. 7890 and 3945,
both unheard.

Normally RV does start the news about one minute or so after the hour.
Their intro is indeed always with the same theme music;
consisting of indigenous horns and drums, making for a very unique
sound; ending the news with a different theme music. Ron`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

Subject: [WOR] Glenn Hauser log roundup April 1-7, 2021
CUBA. 6000, April 2 at 0342, this RHC English frequency is off; but
fortunately the other one is on and VG, 6165. Something's always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
6060, April 3 at 0551, RHC English with the perpetual buzz;
6000 OK, 6100 off, 6145 VG, 5040 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
6165, April 4 at 0537, RHC English is back here after 6145
last night; can`t decide which? Hard-soul music during 'Music with a
Message', concentrating on 1971 US anti-war era. 6100 is S9+30 but now
developing a squeal à la WWCR-1. 6060 is S9+10 not buzzy for a change
but distorted. 6000 is S9+30 but lo-fi A/B comparing to audio
bandwidth on 6060. 5040 is back in English for a change, S9+30.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. RHC check at 0455 UT April 5: 6060 Spanish with humbuzz, 6100
Spanish with squeal, 5040 good in Spanish; 6165 // 6000 music presumed
English service. Something's always wrong at RHC.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 6165, April 6 at 0235, RHC English, instead of alternate
6145; 6060 nothing but big humbuzz. Something's always wrong at RHC.
6100, April 6 at 0610, RHC final English repeat is OFF. So is 6000.
Still ON are 6165, VG S9+30, and 6060 S9+10/20 but still with big
humbuzz only. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 6000 & 6100 off, 6060 S9+20 big humbuzz over English; 6165
S9+20 lite hum and undermodulated, 5040 off. Something's always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
SAUDI ARABIA. 17615 & 17705, April 2 at 1348 JBA carriers, the only
ones on band besides much stronger 17880, see MALI. The pair of course
correlate with Riyadh which per WRTH is now known as SRI = Saudi Radio
International, or SBA = Saudi Broadcasting Authority, no longer the
legacy BSKSA = Broadcasting Service of the Kingdom of Sa'udi Arabia.
And there are no longer any RIY entries in HFCC as they have
withdrawn; something to hide? Aoki/NDXC shows these frequencies: 17615
at 0855-1157 & 1250-1557; 17705 at 1155-1457. Also 17895 but unheard
today: 0255-0800 & 1155-1457. BTW this 17615 does not seem to be
offset plus as had been for ages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

VANUATU. 11835, April 7 at 0558, one signal with W&M talk, goes
right thru hourtop and 0600.7 a bit of music, news theme? and more
talk. S2-S4. Again I think it is R. Vanuatu X3 despite co-channel CNR2
from China, which I assume would have a ToH timesignal and break,
right? Also a JBA carrier on X2 = 7890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
Today April 8 at 09.30 UT checked Vanuatu signal, only carrier on JBA tiny
