** CUBA. 711, April 20 at 0600, presumed off-frequency Radio Rebelde
is still very much here making big het against legal 710 stations.
Someone reported hearing RR audio on 711, but I never have (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060 // 6100 // 6145, April 20 at 0550, all three RHCs are
splattering plus/minus 10 kHz during music, e.g. QRMing 6050 ECUADOR,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA, 13620, April 20 at 1357, RHC JBA on this leapfrog mixing
product; whew: just in time. While 13700 is still blasting, 13780 is
already in dead air and off at 1358* taking 13620 with it. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK. 15805, Stig Hartvig Nielsen of World Music Radio replies
to my previous report, confirming defective modulation:

``WMR is broadcasting on 15805 kHz (Sa/Su 07-20 UTC) in AM and so
listeners (= DXers) are advised to listen in the AM mode.

Glenn Hauser reports "wobbling unstable carrier tuning USB or LSB" and
an "awful, unlistenable" signal and then questions whether I monitor
the signal on 15805 kHz. Of course I do, and that is why I repeatedly
have asked DXers to utilise AM and not SSB when listening to WMR on
15805 kHz.

If I had all the money in the world (which I haven't and this is of
course just an expensive hobby project) I could probably have the tx
fixed so it provided good audio also using SSB, but - sorry - this
just isn't a priority as long as 15805 kHz sounds ok in AM. And it
does:
Spain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZJWUEVXh44
Italy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIWC46kROYM
Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgE-lmtcqic
Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2CZGcZCAqI
UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0doNFJ3DOwU (rare short skip
propagation)
Bulgaria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g--fJAcEezA

Judging coverage of SW stations by using remote KiwiSDRs is not fair.
It should be a well-known fact that most of these KiwiSDRs are
connected to extremely inefficient aerials and often in environments
with a lot of manmade interference. In other words completely useless.
However there [are] a few good ones, and WMR can usually be heard
quite well on these SDRs:
W-Greece: http://sdr.telcosol.gr:8073/
Sardinia, Italy: http://sibamanna.duckdns.org:8073/
Bucharest, Romania: http://kiwisdr.yo3iul.ro:8074/
And is also regularly heard on these SDR's - though of course with a
much weaker signal:
Kuwait: http://9k2ra.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/ (mornings UTC)
NH, USA: http://w1nt.onthewifi.com:8073/ (afternoons UTC)
Brazil: http://appr.org.br:8073/ (afternoons UTC)
South Africa: http://kp.twrmon.net:8073/ (late afternoons UTC)

Btw: If everything goes well, WMR will be returning to 5840 kHz with a
new and stronger transmitter (500 W) from a new transmitter site near
Bramming within the next two weeks. This will be on the air 24/7.
Best 73s, http://www.wmr.radio Stig Hartvig Nielsen`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR. 6050, Monday April 20 at 0549, song in Spanish as HCJB
must be running late for second night in a row; bothered by splash
from 6060 RHC during its music; see CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. UNIDENTIFIED. 6205, April 20 at 0553, JBA carrier, smax of
a Europirate frequency. In fact Laser Hot Hits is reported in the next
hour:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65928.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. 7290, Monday April 20 at 1744, surprised to hear Russian
instead of Steve Bannon`s `War Room - Pandemic` on IRRS, which has
been running on extended broadcast starting at 1700. IRRS in Russian?
No, it`s IRIB as I listen closely, which was already here in A-20 and
must have been bad QRM for IRRS, but supposed to end at 1750. Instead,
it keeps on going, switching to Italian! at 1753, rather excessively
calling itself ``Radio Italia`` and claiming to be on 5925!
Something`s wrong at Sirjan as they have failed to QSY to 5925 which
is scheduled for Italian at 1750-1820. All this as heard via UTwente
SDR, which seems now repaired antenna, back to normal with no
red-letter provisos on the website. Iran QRMs IRRS, see ITALY [non];
and WORLD OF RADIO, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, no IRRS before 1800 UT April 20. I send three
quick messages to Alfredo Cotroneo:

``Alfredo, From 1745 UT Monday on 7290 via UTwente (back in service) I
am hearing ONLY Iran in Russian; and 1753 into unscheduled Italian.
Where`s IRRS? Glenn``

``They are still going at 1758 on 7290, announcing frequency as 5925
which is where IRIB Italian is supposed to be, but no trace of IRRS on
7290, 7285 or 7295. Glenn``

``At 1800 suddenly there you are, and there I am on 7290, but still
mixing with/under Iran. Where were you before 1800? Too bad we are not
on 7285 or 7295 right now. We can only hope Iran gets back on 5925
ASAP! Glenn``

By 1805 we are still colliding but seem to be gaining over Iran. Call
to lunch. May have lasted until their scheduled close at 1820. 1850
recheck, IRRS in clear with `Shortwave Report` recordings of NHK, RHC,
and final item from Sputnik is chopped off shortly after starting for
1859 IRRS sign-off. SWR always begins a few minutes after 1830 with
some FSN News intervening, not enough time to fit in a 29? minute
show. I get this reply from Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS:

``Glenn, No more War Room pandemic, they run out of funds, apparently,
or else. Our updated frequency sched:

https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/a20-schedule/
[but I get: ``no results found``]

Also: (force reload page to get fresh content)
https://www.nexus.org/covid-19/
https://www.nexus.org/coronavirus-qsl/ (updated)
Bests, Alfredo``

That means the other times and frequencies for WRP must be gone too. I
do eventually reach this Monday program schedule:

https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/monday-program-schedule/
reconfirming WOR, and also 594 kHz // the 7290 broadcasts, i.e. 2 kW
Challenger Radio, Villa Estense, real Italy per WRTH (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, April 20 at 0555, no signal from VON, and I
believe it was also absent last night. Admittedly propagation is
degraded, little from Europe or even CFRX, K index 3 at 0600. Always
unreliable, but wonder if staying off? How about the other frequency?

11769.9, April 20 at 1955, no signal here via UTwente, just heavy
splash from 11775 CRI German. Is anyone hearing VON on either, and how
long since anything definite? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6929-USB, April 19 at 2346, C&W music S3-S5 with
storm noise, 2357 announcement, distorted; recheck 0008 April 20 is
gone. Many logs here say it`s Zeeky`s Attic until 0002* or 0003*:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65902.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2030 monitoring: missed check 0130
UT Monday April 20 on WRMI 7780, but Richard Langley probably got it.

Confirmed UT Monday April 20 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, only.

Confirmed UT Monday April 20 at 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130, good to
a NY SDR; and 6160 is off.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 20 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, good to the
TWR Bonaire SDR, not to Colombia.

Also confirmed Monday April 20 at 1800 on IRRS 7290 but with heavy CCI
from IRAN: See that and ITALY [non]. Next:

0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

Thanks this week for financial support from Gerald T. Pollard,
Raleigh NC, who sent a generous US$ cheque to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, April 20 at 0557, TOMBS on this WRMI aimed right at us
is normally inbooming, but now is only S5-S7 very poor. K-index of 3
and SF of 69 will do it, per WWV at 0600, MUF way down, even:

4840, April 20 at 0557, TOMBS on WWCR is VP, but still VG on 3215
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1520, April 20 at 0607 UT, sports talk by YL is tearing up
`Red Eye Radio` on KOKC, and making fast SAH. Not exactly on topic,
she admits to pasting greeting cards on the wall behind her videos,
lacking any real art. I quickly hear the same she on 1390 KCRC, 1660
KWOD, 1670 WOZN, 1700 KBGG, all listed as CBS Sports affiliates in NRC
AM Log --- and which one on 1520?

I guessed it: KOLM Rochester MN, the only one. Had had an STA to run
low power, but now sounds like back on 10 kW day power QRMing equally
underpowered KOKC as usual until recently. CBS Sports confirms at 2-6
AM, presumably EDT, it`s `After Hours with Amy Lawrence`, their only
female host? Got to hand it to her, keeping on keeping on with no
sports to discuss! Except greeting-card hanging (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
