 ** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, May 28 at 0546, RTA relay via FRANCE in Arabic again self-QRMing with beeps; while // 6125 is free of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [non]. 9560, May 29 at 0332, English news about Japan, i.e. NHK Swahili service just starting via MADAGASCAR, S9+10/20 always good signal, 250 kW at 320 degrees, so an inadvertent North American service. NHK Warudo better watch out, they might pick up some NAm listeners they tried to get rid of as long as they are shoving English news into various other language services (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, May 29 at 0322, here`s Station YHWH, S7-S9 on his monomaniacal anti-Christ pulpit, S7-S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SUDAN. 7205, May 29 at 0325, ME singing unseems Qur`an, S5-S8 from Omdurman; which Manuel Méndez, Spain, reminds us could sometimes jump to 7206 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Maybe it`s Radio Avogadro? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. The extremely distorted blobs previously found worst around 7330 and 7680 are gone at 0545 check May 28; but they are back at next check 1432 circa: 10545, 10185, 9830, 9470, 7680, 7505, 7330, 6970; 8038, 8405, 8765, 9115, 9295. Listening in FM or AM mode, they include a big hum, and surely no relation to talk modulation. Walkabout the block circa 00 UT May 29 with PL-880 portable tuned to 7680 finds no particular peak other than near power lines or electric meters. I`ll have to sic OG&E on them. Next one peaks closer to 7320 than 7330, so 7335 can be heard on USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9648-9671 approx., May 29 at 0330, OTH radar pulsing right in the middle of the 31m SWBC band, INTRUDER. May really be the 25-kHz wide kind. At least, no broadcast carriers detected within it. In fact per Aoki not much scheduled at this hour: 9655 TWR via UAE; 9665v Brasil, 9675 China (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0440 UT May 29 _ 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/

 ** BRAZIL. 4885, following up my last report about monitoring for Radio Clube do Pará, Belém: May 27 at 0455 I am hearing a poor signal via Pardinho KiwiSDR, during a talk/interview show and it matches a few seconds later the RCP webcast brought up via Streema --- but the IDs after 0458 are for Rádio Bandeirantes, 840 et al., São Paulo! A station which had abandoned SW some years ago, 6090, 9645, 11925 which are no longer mentioned. Now it`s available to other stations at least as an overnight network feed. 0459 IDs again only for it, not RCP, 2 am timecheck and news. The 4885 signal direct to here remains a JBA carrier, must be very low power. BTW, our condolences to those rational Brazilians who never supported ascension to power of the world`s second-most-stupid president (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. 245-MCW kHz, May 27 at 0624 UT, dash and YZE, ND beacon which is 1000 watts from Gore Bay, Ontario, on the north shore of Manitoulin Island between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, and which dxinfocentre.com says is slated for decommissioning 2020-09-10. Nice to be hearing this under summer conditions, with plenty of storms across TX, 1664 km = 1034 stmi away. Simulaudible underneath weaker and at a much different pitch is FS, which is 400 watts from Sioux Falls - Rock, South Dakota (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, May 27 at 1358; 13020 VP, 12820 S5-S9, against Sound of Hope. Started too late to find others this hour. At 1444-1448: 12190 S3-S7; 11460 JBA carrier; 11440 JBA; 11170 JBA carrier; 10960 S3-S5; 10820 S1-S3; 10720? JBA carrier. Aoki/NDXC shows all vs Sound of Hope except 10960 vs RFA via SOH; and 10720 not listed: instead, I compute that instead as a local mix, 9330 WBCQ plus 1390 KCRC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, May 27 at 1935, RHC English somewhat less distorted than usual as ``Ed Newman`` opens a mailbag, mentions special frequency for Africa, 11880! What does he know? This was replaced weeks ago by 7380. Something`s always wrong at RHC. There is very good reason they never announce full or current English frequencies: they are totally unreliable! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 9340, May 27 at 2200, RHC Spanish again on unlisted frequency I logged before on one date only, May 1 at 0020. Is // weaker 9535, and at 2236 check // 11760, but 9640 is something else in Spanish, i.e. CRI via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imprisoning and brainwashing Uighurs, Commies vs Commies when RHC is on proper frequency 9640 instead of 9340, evidently another keypad slipdigit punchup error. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also Commies vs Commies on 9340 where the only listee is CNR1 jamming/Sound of Hope, but none of that audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, May 28 at 0100, RTI Spanish via WRMI is still here, opening the May 27 program; while last night we found all the 0200 RTI Spanish frequencies had been usurped by Freedom Synergy Radio in English. At 0130, 5800 again switches to FSR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, May 27 at 2156, apparently local blob of noise here vs NSS RTTY but no carrier detected from VOT now or at 2202. By 2224 under the QRM I do have a carrier and trace of TRT modulation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2035 monitoring: not confirmed Wed May 27 at 2100 on 7490v, since WBCQ is off the air, as reported in next item. Confirmed UT Thu May 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, good via Rochester SDR, VP into OK. Next WOR 2036 should be ready by early UT Friday May 29, for first WRMI broadcast at 2200 on 9955. Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from William Hassig, Mount Prospect IL, who sent a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily US funds as they will convert. One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, May 22, WOR) ** U S A. 7490, Wed May 27 at 2051, no signal from WBCQ and still missing after 2100 instead of WORLD OF RADIO`s only broadcast on this frequency. At 2201 I notice that the Super-station 9330 is also OFF! Must be some serious problems at Monticello. As of 0010 UT May 28, no May 27 twits from AW; his latest dated May 26 was promoting ``more great programming`` on 3265 at 9 pm [EDT = 0100 UT]. Guess what, there is NO info about what programming that may be at http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=3265 And under summer bandnoise conditions, 3265 range is very limited. Coincidentally I am getting some huge spurblobs on the 7 and 9 MHz band, tempted to think they could be out-of-order WBCQs, but surely not, as not heard on SDRs in TX or VA; see UNIDENTIFIED. 7490v is back on air at 0045 UT May 28 check with rock music but 9330 is still off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17775-, May 27 at 1452, KVOH back on after about two weeks` absence, S9/+10 with gospel music and Spanish alabanzas; as before, a few Hz on the minus side. I asked Ray Robinson to explain about the ``Shoffner-Harris`` transmitter designated on their website: ``Hi, Glenn. What you are hearing is the RCA running at 50 kW. The 'Shoffner Harris' is the transmitter we acquired from WTWW (who got it from KTWR in Guam). It was originally a Harris SW100 (not SW100A or B), with many components missing or damaged beyond repair. Over the past five years, it has been radically modified by our chief engineer, Jim Shoffner, and has thus become a rather unique machine. In recognition of Jim's efforts, our president, John Tayloe, dubbed it the 'Shoffner Harris'. It is still being worked on, but at this point, it is not yet on the air. Ray Robinson, Strategic Communications Group, http://www.voiceofhope.com Voice of Hope World Radio Network`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7330-7350, May 27 at 2051, horrible wideband blob of extremely distorted audio, the cadence of continuous rapid speech but totally unintelligible in AM or FM modes, let alone SSB. Separate from and stronger than Grimesland DRM centred on 7345. I tune around and find more of same thing, very approx. ranges: 7650-7720 peaking 7680 or 7690; weaker ones 6935-6970-6995, and circa 6610, 6260, 5900. At 2156 checking 9830 for Turkey, another such blob has landed here, and circa 9470. Since WBCQ is AWOL from both 7490v and 9330.00, I wonder if those transmitters could be extremely out of order; but surely not, as at 2237 VA and TX SDRs are not hearing any of these. Must be something local, and I sure hope temporary. The ``modulation`` does not match any of our three AM talk stations on 960, 1390 or 1640, compared at 2242. Not rechecked until 0115 May 28: blobs in the above 7 and 9 MHz ranges are still there! And I tune around WOOB to find some more altho not as strong, circa: 8400, 8760, 9115, 10200, 10550. I don`t see any pattern relating these frequency/ranges (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 13658-USB, May 27 at 1350, 2-way INTRUDERS, very weak, not Spanish, intonation somewhat like Brazilian but not that either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0152 UT May 28 _ 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/

 ** BRAZIL. 4885, May 26 at 0606, JBA carrier. It`s rather too early for the Korean clandestine to be propagating, and besides, Ron Howard reports it`s on 4880 this week. 4885 overnight used to be a standout frequency for Rádio Clube do Pará, sometimes even with a SAH from the other ZY, always weaker Rdif. Acreana, Rio Branco, altho WRTH 2020 shows them both not on the air 24 hours. So what is this signal now, Acreana, or Pará on reduced power? Aoki does show Pará 24 hours, and Acreana off 0400-0900.
On May 23, Eduard Korsakov in Moskva asked the DXLD yg, ``Clube do Pará is off air on 4885 kHz (due to COVID-19?) for a while. Is it planned reactivation?`` Not sure how he concluded it was off. So I have been checking Brasil KiwiSDRs as night approaches after 2030 UT May 26: Closest is the one at Boa Vista, 1434 km = 891 statute miles city-to-city, but the local on 4875 has terrible audio and wide splatter blocking 4885. Almost as close is the one at Caruaru, Pernambuco, 1581 km = 983 stmi, and on this one I do have a VP signal in Brasilian, which is surely Pará rather than Acreana, much further on the other side of Brasil --- and besides, the KiwiSDR nearest that, in Vilhena has nothing but noise on 4885. Back on Caruaru, at 2059 reception is no better, sounds like an enthusiastic produced ID with music but I can`t copy a single word for sure. Perhaps later hearage by this one will improve to confirm it`s Pará even with a degraded signal? No, at 2157 there is still a carrier but no audio in the noise. At 2206 I try 4885 on the superior tho further Pardinho SP SDR, 2405 km = 1495 stmi due south in the dark, and now there is almost readable Brazilian talk, news, likely official hour on most/many stations, A Voz do Brasil without local IDs. By 0054 UT May 27 recheck, Pardinho has only a JBA carrier which could be Acreana if Pará now be off for the evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. MUST SEE! If you haven`t already and can spare almost two hours, especially if you ever listened to RCI on SW; and most especially if you ever broadcast over it! Or even as an appreciation of *all* the now destroyed SW stations. Mick Delmage reminds us: ``[WOR] Amanda Dawn Christie's "Spectres of Shortwave" about the closure and demolish of the Radio Canada International transmitter site near Sackville, NB. is now free to enjoy from May 26 to Monday June 1st 6PM EDT. https://en.dazibao.art/online Enjoy 73 Mick Delmage`` I bring it up at 23 UT May 26; it`s on Vimeo; not clear what the 6 pm EDT refer to, when it stops June 1? Not taking any chances, I watch it straight thru. Presumably one could play, stop, pause or resume it whenever during the week`s availability window. There are many different narrating voices, but we never see a one of them, in fact hardly any humans during the entire film. Nor are they named before the closing credit roll. Lots of shots of the towers, inside the buildings, highway travel, etc. Final narration is by Marc Montgomery breaking up as he says goodbye on the final transmission, and then during the last quarter with only the guy-wire-strumming? undercurrent accompanying, the towers start falling, excruciatingly, one by one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. CNR-1 jammer survey, May 26 at 1440-1450: 14700 & 14500 JBA carriers; 12820 S3-S5; 12580 JBA; 11150 S9/+10; 11100 JBA carrier; 11070 S6-S9; 10920 JBA. All these listed in Aoki/NDXC as jammers of Sound of Hope, except: 14700 and 12560. EiBi has 12560 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [non]. 14580, May 26 at 1757, JBA carrier via UTwente SDR, as 7290 is already on with open carrier prior to IRRS broadcast via mystery/unknown/secret site. Wolfgang Bueschel had already reported the harmonic. Ivo Ivanov, who has no connexion with Spaceline, the present Bulgarian SW company, has long maintained that this could not be via that site as all three transmitters are occupied, so Romania? But Alexander Busneag says RRI scheduling shows all their transmitters are also in use elsewhere at this hour. Ivo has often pinned various clandestine or other emissions on ``Secretbrod``, = Kostinbrod, the SW site near Sofia, some 20 km from him, if he can hear them on second harmonic. Today on same broadcast he recorded 7290 and several switches to 14580 where same audio could be barely heard at times. But he says 7290 is not very strong at his location, which it should be? ``SECRETLAND, NEXUS IRRS EGR/UNR and AWR Wavescan#587 via SPL Secretbrod on May 26 1800-1830 on 7290 SCB 050 kW / 306 deg to WeEu English Tue EGR/UNR+2nd harmonic 14580, weak 1830-1900 on 7290 SCB 050 kW / 306 deg to WeEu English Tue WS#586+2nd harmonic 14580, weak: BUT signal on 7290 is not strong and 2nd harmonic is weak here, around 20 km from Secretbrod https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2020/05/irrs-egrunr-wavescan587-via-spl.html -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLfmLlGztrY&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWO_s5vcnT8&feature=youtu.be 73! Ivo Ivanov`` His 7290 recordings also clearly exhibit the ``RTTY`` warble especially during breaks in program modulation, same as I hear via UTwente. He reluctantly? agrees that 7290 is probably from Secretbrod even tho he thinx all their transmitters are otherwise occupied. So I wonder if it could be from some other site in Bulgaria, mainly utility, where there is also RTTY bleeding into 7290? Another factor leading to Bulgaria instead of Romania is the bandwidth of 7290 compared to other known frequencies of both countries, per Wolfgang Bueschel: almost 12 kHz wide from 7290 and Bulgarians, only almost 10 kHz from Romanians (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. WRMI distributed this notice May 25: ``Freedom Synergy Radio - New Program on WRMI Beginning Monday, May 25, WRMI will broadcast a new program called Freedom Synergy Radio. The program, which will be in English and Spanish, will advocate for Taiwan, Republic of China. Freedom Synergy Radio will air on WRMI at 9:30-10:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time Monday through Friday (0130-0230 UTC Tuesday-Saturday) on 5800 kHz beamed primarily to the Caribbean and on WRMI’s Internet stream. It will also be heard at 10:00-11:00 am Eastern Daylight Time (1400-1500 UTC) Monday-Friday only on the Internet stream, which can be heard at www.wrmi.net and on popular radio streaming services such as TuneIn, Streema and Radio.Garden. Reception reports are welcome and will be answered with a WRMI QSL card by regular mail. Reports can be sent to info@wrmi.net or they can be submitted online on our web page, www.wrmi.net. They can also be sent by regular postal mail to WRMI, P.O. Box 526852, Miami, Florida 33152 USA. http://www.freedomsynergy.world --- You can find more information about Freedom Synergy Radio on their website`` To which I replied on the WOR iog: ``So that replaces R. Prague in English at 0130 and Radio Taiwan International in Spanish at 0200 on 5800. However, RTI remains on 5010, 7780, 9395; and Prague at 0130 remains on 9395 per current webgrid not yet showing Synergy, which is also, of course, anti-PRC. But who is really behind this? Address in Coral Gables - - gh`` I missed the first broadcasts UT May 26 but monitor them UT May 27: at 0130, FSR is on 5800 in English, not Spanish for a 30-minute program, and found also // stronger 9395, contrary to the above. Begins with recent news such as inauguration of Taiwan president, against China`s attempts at ``colonization`` of Taiwan, which was never part of PRC. YL host has slight Spanish accent, not Chinese. After song next topic at 0141 is what a great tourist destination Taiwan is, told in first person, reminds her of Hawaii. Goes on and on until 0156, ID and website ending program, 0157 WRMI fill music. Still on both 5800 and 9395, 0159.5 Spanish IDs by Alfonso Montealegre & Jaime Báguena, and 0200 start *another* English semihour by FSR, not Spanish, but with different content, 0210 about how Taiwan should be recognized instead of China. But wait --- from 0200 not on two frequencies but four, adding // 5010 & 7780 very poor signals here. So this completely replaces Radio Taiwan International which had been in Spanish at 0200 on all four. Maybe RTI retain 5800 an hour earlier at 0100-0130 when I did not check. WRMI websked grid still has not been updated to show anything from Freedom Synergy Radio. With a snazzy generic name like that, why should it be limited to propagandizing Taiwan? Also note that Jeff says the 0130-0230 FSR broadcast on 5800 is also on WRMI webcast --- that normally means the 9955 System B stream, so cut into that only for FSR? or otherwise?
