** AUSTRALIA. Re: 3210-USB, Unique Radio: I meant to say between
Sydney and Brisbane! Not Melbourne. Fixed:

** AUSTRALIA. 3210-USB, Unique Radio: see USA [non] WORLD OF RADIO.
Unique was originally in Gunnedah NSW, and has been off the air for
most of a year while being relocated to Manilla NSW. U.R. had been
referred to as in ``northwest NSW`` but both these are really in NE
NSW. In fact they are only 51.5 km or 32 miles apart. They are about
halfway between Sydney and Brisbane, but further inland; on Google
map there is a nearby place called New Mexico! Settled by immigrants?

** UGANDA [non]. Kai Ludwig replies on WOR iog to my 15170 report:

[WOR] Uganda broadcast 15170 kHz --- Jun 5 at 11:26 PM

Some comments in the order of the points raised...

First, the way the transmissions start sound like cutting into a
running web radio stream. So this does not appear to be a really new
venture, just a limited shortwave relay being added to an already
existing internet radio station. If only there would be any hints at
what to search for... And indeed it really sounds like an effort by
people with no previous experience in radio production whatsoever. The
dedicated reference to CET could well be a hint at the location of
these people. I would not be surprised if it turns out to be Germany.

I assume that on May 15 the Union of Oromo Evangelical Churches
program audio appeared on 15170 kHz by mistake. Is this broadcast
really cancelled? It could also continue on 15515 kHz as scheduled or
at least shown at

https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/a21-schedule/

There is of course no point at all in discussing the HFCC
registrations for 15170 kHz. And a huge signal far off the target area
could also indicate a poor directionality of the antenna.

Armenia: Could be, at least years ago Spaceline had a partnership with
the operator of the Gavar station. Still Kostinbrod would be the usual
suspect. Or Romania, in spite of all the equipment faults (it would
not hurt to check if perhaps a further RRI frequency is missing in the
1500-1600 hour). 19 metres is not too high to reach Central Europe
from the Balkans under broad daylight. Romania uses it for German,
Bulgaria used to do so as well. I think Finland, over a similar
distance, too. And here in eastern Germany the best BBC frequency from
late morning to afternoon used to be 15070 kHz...
Kai Ludwig``

BUT Dave Kenny, UK, replies to that:

``On 24 May I heard world music between 1500-1529 on 15170, then at
1529 a single Radio Romania International interval signal before the
transmitter went off air. This perhaps indicates the use of a
transmitter in Romania for the Ugandan opposition broadcast? The
Uganda broadcast seems to be on air mostly on Saturdays and Monday,
perhaps also on Sundays. 73s Dave``

And Kai Ludwig again:

``Aaah, this of course nails it. Also the audio processing pretty much
points at Romania, less at Kostinbrod and even less at Gavar. Just did
still not mention it as first bet because of the equipment failures.
(I understand the third transmitter at Tsiganeshti, originally
installed there as aux and, I understand, used for IRRS broadcasts on
earlier occasions, is written off for already some time?)

No transmissions of Radio Romania International are scheduled*) for
Galbeni between 1500 and 1530. So it seems that they squeeze the 15170
kHz transmission into this gap. Could be the first time since the days
of Radio Moldova International that this station transmits other
programming than Radio Romania.

And there would be no connection between this and the Oromo
Evangelical Churches transmission – unless it came from Romania
instead of Kostinbrod, too. *) http://ab27.bplaced.net/rri.pdf Kai``

So much for the accuracy of TDOA DF, which must be viewed only as an
approximation, or last resort lacking more substantial clues. The
HFCC-registered 300 kW power also matches for Romanian transmitters.

15170, I monitor via UTwente again Sunday June 6: 1458 strong carrier
is on; 1459 heavy rock music, almost sounds like played backwards.
1500 pip and pause, a bit more music, and then: ``This is Comrade
Reshide Kasato[?], fellow comrades`` --- pays tribute to ``all our
comrades who have lost their lives fighting for freedom and
independence...`` 1502 some deep fades, then off the air for a few
seconds, back at S9+5/10. Somewhat eloquent, backs the ``winner`` of
elexion; stays in English until 1512 Luganda(?) except for some
English terms mixed. I`m not recording but hope someone got this.

1514 a bit more English mixed in. 1517 ``the president-elect will be
making some speeches on this channel``. 1520 gives his name again,
``thanks for listening to me -- we really did it``. 1521 same guy
starts over another speech. 1526 interrupts himself for a third but
very similar speech. There are occasional squeaks/chirps in the
background. 1527 cut to a fragment of music and chop off air early.
But 1528 back on for the backwards? music only until off before 1529*

Web search on the name as I have spelt it + Uganda reaches only my own
earlier report in HCDX, so it`s certainly wrong.

WOR iogroup reply from the UK: ``The speaker on the broadcasts I've
heard is Rashid Kasaato, who also mentions the Ugandan opposition
leader Bobi Wine. Dr Rashid Kasaato has been on (internet station?)
People Power Radio. 73, Alan Pennington``

** U S A. June 6 at 1620-1701 UT, a caradio-in-the-garage FMDX session
spurred by a 103 MHz Es MUF spike on the DXMAP, continuous
bandscanning at least the lower half; and the clearest shots into the
vertical antenna are from north and east; at least in the visible
spectrum vs metal door to the south. Concentrating on the few `open`
or semi-open channels. Turns out, not a bit of Es logged but I get to
explore the KS & OK fringe signals.

92.1, June 6 at 1620, $ pilot during sermon; may well be live as it`s
The Church Hour on Sunday. KFXI Marlowe OK, country station to the
south with 100 kW is normally dominant over BA/Tulsa weaker if
slightly closer station. At 1658 the preacher finishes and turns it
over to a layperson for some event announcements, who says they need
beef- or rabbit-jerky for Fathers` Day; but then outro as from
FBaptist Church of Marlowe, on KFXI!

However, I`ve also heard gospel-huxtering on 92.1 at various other
times in the week. Per WTFDA FM Database the most likely is this just
across the OK border:
``KCCA-LP 92.1 ANTHONY KS RELIGIOUS TEACHING 0.1 0.0 kW -2.0 0.0 m
HAAT 37-09-12 98-01-51``

104.9, June 6 circa 1628 UT, trace of gospel huxter, but it`s Sunday
morning. I continue to doubt that the new station in Ringwood, a few
miles west of Enid, is really on the air: it`s EWTN`s KEUC, 100 watts.
Then there`s Protestant 5/5 kW KREK in Bristow OK.

97.3, June 6 at 1631 UT, ID as KK#Q, Q-97, country. No hits searching
on Q97 or Q-97; got to be Q 97 ---
``KKJQ 97.3 GARDEN CITY KS COUNTRY Q 97 FM 100.0 kW ERP 244.0 m HAAT
37-46-48 100-27-36 2B62 KKJQ THE DAWG -``

90.9 & 91.1 both have solid Air-One signals in Enid, as if a
twice-as-broad single station. 90.9 is axually 13.5 kW KOKF Edmond,
while 91.1 is 450-watt KKRD Enid. Shifting between them they seem
synchro; but with second radio DX-398 on one of them, I can tell that
they are an echo apart, 91.1 leading! DB shows KKRD relays 92.7 KYRA,
huh? No such station around here. It`s in Thousand Oaks CA, must be
flagship of Air One. But does not show KOKF as relaying it, tho it
surely does too.

KKRD site is still downtown Enid; as original KBVV it was atop the
now-decrepit and uninhabited skyscraper Broadway Tower. A local church
started it with some local programming, plugged into Moody, I think,
ultimately sold it off to the so-called Educational Media Foundation
a.k.a. Air One, mostly gospel music. But now the blown-up FCC map puts
a pin several blox NE of BT, just SE of the intersexion of East Oak
and North Third, west of RR trax. I must go have a look there
sometime.

94.9, June 6 at 1638 UT, ``music from the 80s and 90s, NCK 94-9``:
100/100 kW KNCK Concordia KS. A brief fadeup, normally nothing.

96.3, June 6 at 1643 UT, suddenly a VG signal, normally nothing; could
it be Es? NO! semi-local adstring for Harry`s Razor Blades; Roger
Haskins Insurance; news brief from some national net; 1647 United
States Mortgage ending with a long rapid condensed tag impossible to
understand, but CYA! Buylewis.com (?), finally FNB of Spearville,
385-2636 and ad for National Beef of Dodge City. 1701 UT ``The Country
Leader, Garden City``. So it`s this one, CoL midway between Garden and
Dodge Cities:
``KERP 96.3 INGALLS KS COUNTRY 96.3 THE MARSHALL 100.0 kW H&V 213.0 m
HAAT 37-56-30 100-18-44`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 6 from *0559:37, R. Vanuatu cuts on 3 x 3945,
but JBA in HNL. A few minutes earlier, 7260 = 2 x 3945 was likewise

It`s about 800 miles from Bulgaria to Switzerland, a bit close for a
VG signal to skip. The broadcast I heard was all about Uganda, so I
seriously doubt it had any connexion to Ethiopia, or Somalia, or their
languages.

Amid it at 1516, I invoked TDOA DF on three KiwiSDRs, one of them as
far away as VK6 Australia. They concluded that the most likely
location for 15170 is 41E/41N, which is in the Black Sea just west of
Batumi --- but closest major SWBC relay site is: Gavar/Noratus
ARMENIA; where WRTH shows there are 3 x 100 kW and 3 x 1000! kW SW
transmitters. From the bigsig way offbeam to Holland I could easily
believe 300 if not 1000 kW.

The latest HFCC of June 4 shows:
``15170 1500 1530 38,47-48,52-53,57 MIL 300 149 0 286
12567 130521 311021 D 15000 Eng I ANT ANT 15012
15170 1500 1530 38,47-48,52-53,57 MIL 300 79 0 286
3 010621 311021 D 15000 Eng I ANT ANT 15013``

Numbers at head of second lines are days of week: 12567 =
SunMonThuFriSat; 3 = Tue, which just went into effect this week.

All those CIRAF are eastern zones of Africa from Libya to South
Africa. Of course, everyone knows the site is never really Milano. Nor
do the azimuths make sense; the correct direxion from Armenia to
Uganda would be roughly due south. Since the second azimuth is so
different, could Tuesday really be from another relay site?

I`ve asked IRRS for any info about this broadcast, i.e. its name,
target, contact info, but no reply. I know better than even to inquire
about transmitter site since for IRRS this is always confidential,
with the ``cover`` story of MIL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

PERU. 4775.04, June 5 at 0202, JBA carrier, presumed still Radio
Tarma on its signature offset. The station had been attacked by
Sendero Luminoso, but apparently another of their transmitters. See
this illustrated story via CadenaDX FB via Don Moore, MARE Tipsheet:

U S A. 6159.891, UT Sat June 5 at 0000, WBCQ with double-ID jingle,
JIP WTO theme for `AAAWWW`. First subject is aliens. Checked on a
Maryland SDR I already have up for TRSW. I`m otherwise occupied this
hour, so cede the floor to John Carver:
"Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490 but 6160 was hard to
copy. Allan in the studio in hot and humid Fla with a beautiful
Angela. Angela brings up aliens again, also spam phone calls,
commercials etc. Allan starts reading the new edition of the Free
Radio Weekly at 0017. Talk then continues about radio and space
including SETI. Then a discussion of traveling in space. Phone call at
0049 from Mr. Transistor, Norm about digital AM radio. Another phone
call at 0055 talking about aliens and the pyramids. Reading of emails
at 0058 and off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana"
