Friday, February 21 2020
 ** CHINA. 7255, Feb 21 at 1337, Russian discussion mentioning some Chinese names. Chances are high that any Russian heard on SW will be from CRI --- certainly not from Russia! --- and indeed this is, an hour via Shijiazhuang site, 500 kW at 37 degrees, thUSward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15369.23, Feb 20 at 2340, JBA carrier as RHC continues way off-frequency for the tenth day; VP propagation now, but earlier in afternoon normally inbooms. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ERITREA. 7140, Feb 21 at 0426, constant JBA carrier, presumed VOBME but nothing on their other frequency 7180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY [non]. 15215, Feb 21 at 1608 tune-in to yearly Radio Öömrang broadcast via FRANCE --- discussion mostly in Frisian, some high German, and brief intros in English at 1626 and 1628. Longer outro in English at 1658 with contact info and credits, and to be heard again on 21 Feb 2021; 1659:30 to open carrier and off 1700*. First checked on home receiver, then on remotes in eastern USA, with VG reception. I was distracted during closing but did not hear a mention of the DRM repeat supposedly 48 hours later same frequency and time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 640, Feb 21 at 1319 UT and still 1330, dead air from KWPN Moore, as happens frequently; vs fast SAH and CCI probably led by KFI, which without KWPN at night would have a clear shot into OK (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SAO TOME. 7255.0, Feb 21 at 0427, uncertain African language S9-S7, 0429 mbira song, 0430 hilife music. This hour is VOA Zimbabwe service a.k.a. Studio 7, mixture of Shona, Ndebele and a little English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 9490, Feb 21 at 0106, no signal from Issoudun, and maybe no jamming either yet; tho registered to start at 0100 with RMI programming, i.e. Radio República --- but I think that only apply once CubAmerican DST be in effect from March 9. Checking because RTI has publicized that it will experiment with revived Spanish broadcasts UT Feb 23-26 at 0100-0130 on 9490, site not specified but surely FRANCE. And again at 0300-0330 on 9500, because jamming and R.R. will still be on 9490 at that time. Voluntarily picking a frequency ever subject to Cuban jamming is foolish, as it may well extend beyond the ``necessary`` hours [see TURKEY]. Sure enough at 0157 recheck, jamming is already running on 9490, and the ISS carrier cuts on just in time at *0159:39, but any programming to follow is inaudible under jamming. Propagation from Europe is degraded anyway now, K-index 4 at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 20 at 2346, VOT English made it on air today, but now wrapping up with canned totally wrong A-19 English schedule, as I have previously explained in detail; which usually plays at sign-on. Something`s always awkward at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 6125, Feb 21 at 0400, Cuban noise jamming against Radio Martí is still running altho RM has just closed this frequency as always (and no longer separate TV Martí soundtrack, right?). Cannot detect VOT English to western N America as scheduled, until 0405 starts to become audible under jamming but unusable. No better at 0435, still heavy jamming atop VOT music(?). This is absolutely self-defeating, of all possible frequencies picking one right next timewise to Cuban jamming; could be on 6120 or 6130 both of which are open tho also adjacent frequency-wise. Plenty of other open spaces on band. I also wonder if 6125 VOT transmission be as erratic as 5960 one five hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7178-LSB, Feb 21 at 1342, net in unknown language, mostly strong signals, repeatedly discussing marijuana; occasional bits of English; one guy with a rather melodic tone and prolonged vowels. One call until 1351 sounds like KH0I#, last letter not clear. KH0`s are in Saipan and Guam per ARRL lookup, but I think these are closer. Still going at 1459 in contact with N4KH, VA6RB, and K0ADI? N4KH is SPIKES JR, JAMES B, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35803-2095. VA6RB is Roldan Gloria Bartolome, CALGARY, AB T3M 0S3 Canada K0ADI is KITTLEMAN, ROD A, NIXA, MO 65714 At first I was guessing the language could be Indonesian? Or Tagalog? Now I wonder if Chamorro, or a language around here, Marshallese. Online searches for a net at this time on this frequency are unsuccessful. Anyone know what this is? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2022 contents: Australia, Brasil, Canada, China and non, Cuba and non, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Korea North & South, Kuwait, Madagascar, Malaysia, North America, Oklahoma, Papua New Guinea, Sarawak non, Taiwan and non, Turkey, UK, USA, Vanuatu; and the propagation outlook WOR 2022 is available as of 0224 UT Friday February 21 (mp3 stream) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor2022.m3u (mp3 download) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor2022.mp3 Or via http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html Also linx to podcast services. The shortwave broadcasts should be: 0900 UT Friday Unique Radio NSW 5045-USB 2300 UT Friday WRMI 9955 [usually starts with heavy jamming but maybe abates] 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 5850, 5010, 7780 1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415] 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 0130 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 9395 0400vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 0430 UT Monday WRMI 9955 0900 UT Monday Unique Radio NSW 5045-USB 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio NSW 5045-USB [another episode] 1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania? 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 0900 UT Wednesday Unique Radio NSW 5045-USB 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5890, Feb 21 at 0633, WWCR on again with S9+20 open carrier at a time this frequency is supposed to be off; other three are nominal: 5935 PMS S9+10-20. 4840 Infowars, 3215 TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085 & much weaker parasitic spurs about 5072 & 5097, Feb 21 at 1327, WTWW-2 is running rock music, so again has it stayed on all night? You never know (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 21 from 0340: 531, 549, 558(2), 585, 612, 639, 693(2), 711, 747, 774(3? with audio from Spain synchros), 837, 891, 936, 999, 1125, 1152, 1215(2), 1305. Rather surprised to find a ``normal`` situation as K-index at 0300 was 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 2097.3, Feb 21 at 0627 and 1320 chex, single-letter beacon A is on and audible every ten seconds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1854 UT February 21 _ 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. 9666.012v, Feb 19 at 2310, Voz Missionária S6-S8 with song presumably praiseworthy and then at 2313, ID in English! Claiming frequencies are 9665, 5940 and 11750 from RVM Radio. Tnx for the English, but they are woefully misinformed: NEVER on 9665 exactly nor 5940 --- It`s always off-minus, but now a JBA carrier in huge BS splash from 5935 WWCR. And hasn`t been on 11750 for YEARS. It was already deleted from WRTH 2018, maybe earlier. 11750 now occupied only by RHC 11760 splash (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Feb 19 at 1921, RHC is S9 of dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9535, Feb 19 at 2323, RHC is S9 of dead air; while 9640 is OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185.703V, Feb 19 at 0433, XEPPM is S9+10/20 and just barely modulated; someone had reported no modulation at all, which it might as well be, totally useless (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 960, Feb 9 at 1900 UT, quick ToH ID from KGWA Enid, putting insignificant 100.9 translator first, and ``from the Ladusau-Evans studios`` --- what?? KGWA has sold naming rights of their studio to a local mortuary --- either that or they have axually moved into the funeral home. How apropos, just in time for deadbeat Fox ``News`` and Rush. BTW someone from Williams Broadcasting is presenting a CCTV seminar February 21 at 1930-2030 UT in the campus building of NWOSU Enid on entrepreneurship (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. ``Brad, Something very strange last night on 90.1, for at least half an hour before and after 1 a.m. --- Brazilian popular music, no announcements (tho I may have missed something at top of hour), nice but certainly not classical WCPE --- was KUCO plugged into a wrong satellite feed? Back to classical when I awoke briefly and checked at 5:45. Regards, Glenn Hauser, Enid`` That`s about KUCO, 0700 and 1145 UT Feb 19; asking manager Brad Ferguson about it, he replies: ``Hi Glenn, WCPE went into their emergency log last night, so something failed somewhere in their chain. We have an emergency log too, but it's classical. Go figure! BF`` Strange. This shows nothing out of ordinary around 2 am ET: https://theclassicalstation.org/playing_wed.shtml (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 19 at 2319 and 2348 chex, another night with NO signal from VOT English to us. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 417 kHz, Feb 19 at 0728 UT, ND beacon copied several times as ``dit-dit, dit-dit-dah-dah``. That second one is not a letter in our alfabet, but in the Russian as that ``yu`` letter looking like a conjoined IO. Looking at the dxinfocenter and classaxe references on 417 and vicinity, I think it must be 25-watt IY in Charles City, Iowa, which I have copied several times before, but now miskeyed just one dah off from Y, which is dah-dit-dah-dah (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 420 kHz, Feb 19 at 0730, ND beacons FQ and PK mixing; and when tuned to 418-USB I hear only FQ. Both 25 watts, FQ is in Fairmont, Minnesota, and PK is Olathe - Herbb, Kansas. BTW, I don`t try to report signal strength of NDBs as they are almost always JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5332-CW, Feb 19 at 0436, CQ DE KI5AL K with several repetitions, seems slowly hand-keyed, easy copy. I never can remember the exact discrete frequencies forming the so-called ``60 meter`` hamband, but this must be one of them. ARRL.org shows Jett, Herbert A, KI5AL, Seguin, TX 78155. And his profile at https://www.qrz.com/lookup/ki5al shows he is 74, a ham less than a year and only started CW a few months ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13852.062, Feb 19 at 1502, JBA spur from something, can it be RHC? NO, I barely make a match with Radio Martí audio on 13820, which is VG and well above the jamming. However there is a bit of jamming splat out to here. This is nothing like the RHC spurs which are huge distorted blobs --- not today! --- but rather a very weak signal with OK modulation. OCB Grimesland is showing Bauta how to make spurs! Then I go looking for more and sure do find them: this one is 32.062 kHz plus 13820, so how about minus? There it is: 13787.942 measured independently which would be minus 32.058 kHz, close enough. These are axually second order, since I then find plus and minus ~16 kHz, and multiples of that, not measured precisely: 13836, 13868, 13884, 13900; and 13804, 13772, 13756, 13740. At 1552 I do measure one of them:; 13836.026. 13852 etc., Feb 19 at 1920 recheck, JBA spur carriers still detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2021 monitoring: couldn`t check Wed Feb 19 at 2100 on WRMI 7780 or 2200 on WBCQ 7490v; anybody hear them? Confirmed UT Thu Feb 20 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 -- only poor via UTwente SDR. WOR 2022 should be ready by early UT Feb 21: http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, Feb 19 at 1913, poor signal from SMTV via WRMI, only once, no echo, during list of languages utilized. 5800 not echoing either circa 2320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 11644.2-USB, Feb 19 at 1620, weak 2-way in colloquial Spanish, INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0200 UT February 20, 2020 _ 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/
