 ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat April 3 at 1459 via Brasília SDR, LRA36 is JBA S1-S2, historical narrative, Malvinas war timeline as we are into another April anniversary. They won`t get over it. 1504 insert non-ID as ``Nacional, la Radio Pública`` --- could be this stuff originate in Bs. As., and now on the only SW station of, if not in, Argentina? 1510 music, 1521 announcement that this will repeat Saturday at 15 horas. Yup. Then closing until next Wednesday, song about another base, Marambio until 1527.
Now I`ve switched to Pardinho which gets a better S7-S8 signal. 1537 ``sign-on`` with IDs in Spanish, German, English and algo. 1542 the Antarctica song, 1545 about the Malvinas war again, but dumped off the air unceremoniously at 1547.5*. Early on I did check own receiver for any trace of a JBA carrier, but none (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BOLIVIA. 3310, April 4 at 0135, R. Mosoj Chaski is doing well, S5-S7 into Brasília #2 Kiwi SDR, Andean music, intervals of Quechua talk, but tonight I want to listen to their stream at sign-off. Listen Live link at website goes to: mail.galcom.org:8000/Mosoj-Chaski-Radio but it won`t connect. mail? Same link for pre-recorded broadcasts. Galcom, they of the fixed-tuned radios so you`re stuck listening only to the station that distributed it. Back to 3310 via Bsla2 before 0200 to hear the big hum resume at 0201.5 until off at 0207*. This would be the best time for Quechuans to listen to it, avoiding being evangelized out of their original religion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, April 3 at 0551, RHC English with the perpetual buzz; 6000 OK, 6100 off, 6145 VG, 5040 in Spanish.

At 0000 April 4, same g.h. inserts legal ID for `WWRB outta Manchester, Tennessee`. Still going at 0135, 0208 chex, the latter also into Brasília I had up to hear Chaski. And still at 0309; 0342 a screaming YL huxter. So WWRB is back in business. Dave let his license expire last fall and had to stay off the air while going thru FCC red tape to get it back again. Harold Frodge had reported WWRB on 3185 last UT Sunday but did not mark it as a momentous event: ``U.S.A.: 3185 WWRB Manchester TN; 0150-0203+, 3/28; Hymns to 0200:32 EE religihuxter interrupted @0202:18 w/WWRB ID into dif-ferent religihuxter on “Challenge”. S20 peaks. 3185 not listed on their web program guide (Frodge-MI)`` Meanwhile, switched to summer frequency 5050, presumably as before only active at weekends. 475v-MCW kHz, Dave Frantz`s MW beacon WA4SZE/BEACON I last logged on Dec 31; it was so regular that I stopped logging it tho it stayed on a while longer, but has been gone again since maybe mid-January. Here`s the last? log of it by Harold Frodge: ``474.7 WA4SZE Manchester TN; 0318, 1/13; Sending WA4SZECOMWA4SZE/BEACON (Frodge-MI)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [and non]. Due to a Catholic festival, Vatican Radio scheduled some special broadcasts this weekend, April 2-3-4. Original publicity labeled the skeds as in Vatican time rather than God`s Mean Time. I checked out the one publicized as: ``3 April 2021 1925-2120 h [MESZ] Veglia Pasquale presieduta da Papa Francesco. Arabic - Middle East: 7425 kHz Chinese - Asia: 7225 kHz English - Africa: 11935 kHz Français Africa: 13830 kHz Português - Africa: 15565 kHz (via Dr Hansjoerg Biener 1 April 2021)`` Started out with real old-testament stories, Exodus etc., Jews vilifying Egyptians. What`s that got to do with the much later alleged crucifiction? From 1741 UT tune-in, 7425 is S9/+25 good into Kuwait SDR --- but Arabic announcer keeps talking over the pope and the cantors! BTW, original language is Italian --- whatever became of Latin, at least at RCC HQ? It would not be until the very end, 1925, that the catch-phrase in Latin would be uttered, ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``. 7425 stayed on with organ postlude until chopped off the air at 1930* sharp. Back at 1745, 7225 also well audible to Kuwait, but secular music, something else for sure unless a feed were lost. O, BBC Somali is sked via UAE. 11935, English is JBA with ACI from 11940 Spain; direct to here at 1820 check, JBA carrier on 11935. 13830 and 15565 JBA to Kuwait, but of course they are aimed more clockwise for Africa, if direct from SMG. 12050, RCM WEWN is carrying Spanish voice-over but can`t be bothered to turn on their English frequency 15610 earlier than *1900 even for such a special occasion. I do confirm 15610 at 1900 via Bonaire SDR. After 1900, 12050 likely to be collided by Ndarason as usual. All this is also on EWTN Spanish and English cable TV channels. Radio-only cannot do justice to the cavernous splendour of the basilica with gilded ornamentation. Crowd appears to be masked, alternate seating less than 2 meters apart. Choirguys are not masked, not even ready below the chin for long intervals they have nothing to sing. Pope himself is not masked, which would be too worldly and defeatist for this special person who could have been a role-model, but most of the assistants around him are. I think the masks nicely complement the mitres, but they are inconsistent in color-matching, mostly white, some blu.. There has been considerable speculation about transmitter sites which of course VR failed to specify with the scheduling publicity. Who cares? We know that they normally do use Madagascar for several broadcasts to Africa; USAGM Grimesland for Latin America, and Tinang, Philippines for east Asia; both violating Separation of Church and State. Here`s the next and final VR special, but they obviously don`t care about a Western Hemisphere audience, scheduling it in middle of our night, 0755-1020 UT: ``4 April 2021 Easter Sunday 0955-1120 h Santa Messa del Giorno di Pasqua presieduta da Papa Francesco 1155-1220 h Messaggio Pasquale e Benedizione Urbi et Orbi Arabic - Middle East: 15605 kHz English - Africa: 17820 kHz Français - Africa: 15575 kHz Português - Africa: 17805 kHz (Dr Hansjoerg Biener 1 April 2021)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 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) This report dispatched at 0400 UT April 4 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/

Here`s the last? log of it by Harold Frodge: ``474.7 WA4SZE Manchester TN; 0318, 1/13; Sending WA4SZECOMWA4SZE/BEACON (Frodge-MI)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [and non]. Due to a Catholic festival, Vatican Radio scheduled some special broadcasts this weekend, April 2-3-4. Original publicity labeled the skeds as in Vatican time rather than God`s Mean Time. I checked out the one publicized as: ``3 April 2021 1925-2120 h [MESZ] Veglia Pasquale presieduta da Papa Francesco. Arabic - Middle East: 7425 kHz Chinese - Asia: 7225 kHz English - Africa: 11935 kHz Français Africa: 13830 kHz Português - Africa: 15565 kHz (via Dr Hansjoerg Biener 1 April 2021)`` Started out with real old-testament stories, Exodus etc., Jews vilifying Egyptians. What`s that got to do with the much later alleged crucifiction? From 1741 UT tune-in, 7425 is S9/+25 good into Kuwait SDR --- but Arabic announcer keeps talking over the pope and the cantors! BTW, original language is Italian --- whatever became of Latin, at least at RCC HQ? It would not be until the very end, 1925, that the catch-phrase in Latin would be uttered, ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``. 7425 stayed on with organ postlude until chopped off the air at 1930* sharp. Back at 1745, 7225 also well audible to Kuwait, but secular music, something else for sure unless a feed were lost. O, BBC Somali is sked via UAE. 11935, English is JBA with ACI from 11940 Spain; direct to here at 1820 check, JBA carrier on 11935. 13830 and 15565 JBA to Kuwait, but of course they are aimed more clockwise for Africa, if direct from SMG. 12050, RCM WEWN is carrying Spanish voice-over but can`t be bothered to turn on their English frequency 15610 earlier than *1900 even for such a special occasion. I do confirm 15610 at 1900 via Bonaire SDR. After 1900, 12050 likely to be collided by Ndarason as usual. All this is also on EWTN Spanish and English cable TV channels. Radio-only cannot do justice to the cavernous splendour of the basilica with gilded ornamentation. Crowd appears to be masked, alternate seating less than 2 meters apart. Choirguys are not masked, not even ready below the chin for long intervals they have nothing to sing. Pope himself is not masked, which would be too worldly and defeatist for this special person who could have been a role-model, but most of the assistants around him are. I think the masks nicely complement the mitres, but they are inconsistent in color-matching, mostly white, some blu.. There has been considerable speculation about transmitter sites which of course VR failed to specify with the scheduling publicity. Who cares? We know that they normally do use Madagascar for several broadcasts to Africa; USAGM Grimesland for Latin America, and Tinang, Philippines for east Asia; both violating Separation of Church and State. Here`s the next and final VR special, but they obviously don`t care about a Western Hemisphere audience, scheduling it in middle of our night, 0755-1020 UT: ``4 April 2021 Easter Sunday 0955-1120 h Santa Messa del Giorno di Pasqua presieduta da Papa Francesco 1155-1220 h Messaggio Pasquale e Benedizione Urbi et Orbi Arabic - Middle East: 15605 kHz English - Africa: 17820 kHz Français - Africa: 15575 kHz Português - Africa: 17805 kHz (Dr Hansjoerg Biener 1 April 2021)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 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) This report dispatched at 0400 UT April 4 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/

 ** CUBA. 11880, April 2 at 2216, RHC is on in French, S8-S9 but undermodulated. Instead of dumping off the air before Brazuguese at 2230, it manages to stay on, not // 15230 which was already in PP at 2219 check, S9; sounds like same speaker, subject, maybe non-synchronized playouts. Something`s always wrong at RHC: hereafter: SAWA.
Today 11880 remains even past 2300 switching to English which has been missing most of the days so far in A-21. At least we now know it is still supposed to be on 11880. And should stop at 2400* but keeps going in Kriyol or French, staying on until about 0015*. SAWA. But English no longer // on 5040: at 2300 it starts frequency list in Spanish, 13740, 11760 --- and then it dumps off the air. Just as well, because 13740 is wrong anyway, nothing there; no Cuban on 13 MHz except Chinese music in non-Portuguese on 13650. SAWA. What else from RHC? 15370 at 2219 in Spanish, S9+35 but lofi with hum; 15230 S9 in Brazuguese; nothing on 15730. 15370 is off by 2303, while 15230 has switched to Spanish now // distorted 11760 and 11670. SAWA. 11850, April 2 at 2222, RHC Spanish is JBM, S7-S9 along with parasite JBA carrier on 11840, the twin on 11860 buried in Cuban jamming against no Martí. At 2303, 11850 is suptorted, mod spikes only. SAWA. 15730, April 2 at 2239, now this one is on, S9+20, but as usual distorted modulation only at peaks; wiggle that patchcord! I think it`s in Kriyol. At 2300 still same breakup, now in real French? SAWA. 6165 English does not come on April 3 at 0000 as nominally has been; I keep checking along with AAAWWW on 6159.930v WBCQ, which remains clear of ACI. Not until 0034 do I check 6145, and by golly, now RHC English is there instead of 6165! Maybe they took my advice, which of course I would never send to them directly. SAWA. 11850, April 3 at 0133 I return to receiver I had left tuned here, and guess what? Now this is in English from RHC! S9+10 with good modulation unlike earlier; but is it a mistake, and for how long? Now we have 3 x EE, // 6000 & 6145. SAWA. 6060, April 3 at 0252, RHC Spanish is S9+20/30 but still with the big buzz. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 12040, Fri April 2 at 2225, S Asian music, VP S3-S6, then seeming English; no, KSDA sked in English Sun/Tue/Thu 2200-2230, including `Wavescan` on Sundays; elsedays in SuNdanese. Would like to confirm these days once and for all, as I have feared they could be confused about local days vs UT days, i.e. English M/W/F mornings over there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat April 3 at 0200-0204+, rock music S9/+10, probably Ball Smacker Radio which is scheduled Friday nights from 9 pm ET = 0100. I check out another pirate on 6930, then back to this at 0217 when music is quiet, some deep fades; 0225 YL, ``from some wires strung up in the trees, Ball Smacker Radio``, and tenpins SFX. More rock music I don`t recognize. 0233 plug for their new website; off before 0245 recheck. Many more logs here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,79836.0.html Keyword for song titles tonight was: ``fool``. After 0315 there was a repeat reported on 4030-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, April 3 at 0204, pirate music S9, louder than BSR on AM 6960; 0206 unreadable announcement with organ background. 0215 ``Desert Rat here, comments appreciated to twodogradio@??.com and off 0216*. Many more reports from 0045: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,79835.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday April 2 at 2214, final token English semihour of the week from REE is songs hosted by Justin Coe, but not on this frequency to North America, still AWOL. Other three are audible: 15520 good S5-S8; 11940 S9+5/15; even 11685 is fair S5-S7 and no RTTY, better than the nothing we get (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, April 2 at 2213, checking direct VOT English to us: no RTTY and S6-S9 but undermodulated, hardly readable. For comparison, 15520 Spain is axually weaker on meter, S5-S8 but good, well-modulated. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2080 monitoring; next: 1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2130 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 2300 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0400] 2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2300 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 1801 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy [ex-1901] 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 Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to Benn Kobb, Arlington VA, for a check to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute, not necessarily in US funds, via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6159.924 V to 6159.930, UT Sat April 3 from 0000, WBCQ `AAAWWW` via KB0FX SDR in MO, offset frequency readout in SAM mode. Surprisingly clear of RHC ACI since it has jumped from 6165 to 6145 --- see CUBA. I half listen; first quiz question, what is a BFO? Soon answered by an e-mailer or caller. It`s cold in Fla, 50 degrees, yet the wife Allan adores is scantily-clad as he puts his hand somewhere on her. Was there nothing political?? Major subject, on and on and on, is standard shifts and clutches, wondering if young people would even know how to drive such cars. 0151 reads part of Radio World article about FCC maybe enforcing PIRATE act from April 26 with big fines --- but he misses the point as already discussed in NASWA and WOR groups, that by definition, this applies to AM & FM bands only, nothing about SW! Yet AW takes the opportunity to encourage would-be pirates to buy time on WBCQ instead. Squeezes in a few pirate names and frequencies from new issue of Free Radio Weekly just published; prayer and ID. 0100-0101 dead air on this transmitter before Hal Turner starts. I never did check 7490v this week, direct or remotedly, nor WBCQ webcasts, but AW said that the 7490 stream server has been maxing out. I keep hoping he will have some news about his attempt to purchase WHRI, which appears to have closed down. Nothing significant either in his recent twits. Here`s the version of John Carver, who was paying more attention: ``Tonight's show started on time on both 6160 and 7490 with 7490 having the better signal this evening. Opening question was, what is a BFO? Angela is scantily dressed this evening according to Allan. The opening question is answered by someone named Scott and Allan proceeds to describe a BFO for the audience. Then he asks how many young people were able to drive a car with a manual transmission and quickly after that asks how many would know how to double clutch. A short tale of Angela driving his antique cars which morphed into a discussion in general about antique cars. Phone call at 0028 from a woman that has been enjoying the talk of Angela driving the antiques and she admits that she owns and drives an older car, just one not as old as Allan's. Angela started to give us a brief Angela's Angle but was interrupted by a phone call at 0043 from Mr. Transistor Norm who talks about old cars and motorcycles. Allan then reads a short piece about the larger fines for pirate radio operators and ends with a plea for the pirate operators to buy time on WBCQ. Into emails at 0054 and a reading of the newest Free Radio Weekly. Closing prayer at 0058 and off the air at 0100 and once again into dead air. Only one political reference this evening when Allan lost his train of thought and stated that he'd had a Biden moment. John, Mid-North Indiana.`` 6159.93, recheck 0250 after Hal Turner hour, WBCQ still on with rock music. That would be `Rock Wave` originating on WBCQ-FM 94.7 a.k.a. Kixx-FM. But off the air after 0300 as I have also noticed previous nights, so `Late Nite in the Heartland` far-right talk show is gone tho still on the 6160 sked as 0300-0500 Tue-Sat. Its website still claims to be on 7490 https://www.jeffreydaugherty.com/about-us but that`s off the air too at 0340 April 3 check. O, the 7490 sked shows it as 0300-0330 only UT Tue-Sat; so need to recheck whether that fragment survive. At 02-03 Brother Scare has been appearing on 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1319.717, April 3 at 0145 UT, KLWN ID on 1320.00 with het from here by the AM/SSB pitch match method, so still WCOG Greensboro NC. No het tonight vs 1540.00 KXEL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1081.3, April 3 at 0151 UT, het against 1080 KRLD. Nothing this far off in mwoffsets; possibly local device, but the MW band is otherwise `clean` tonight, no TA carriers either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0415 UT April 3 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
