WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST

Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update:
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Austria - ORF/OE1: Added station (thanks to Glenn Hauser)
2) France - RFI: Added links to programme and Facebook pages of
Musique du Monde
3) Greece - V of Greece: As VoG now relays the Proto (1st) programme,
in place of the ERT external services, added links to this service.
Additionally, Proto may relay overnight either the Deftero (2nd) or
Trito (3rd) programme, so added links to these as well (with thanks to
Richard Langley in WOR iog for initial tip)
4) Lao - Lao National R: Added links for this station (with thanks to
David Kernick, Interval Signal Online, via WOR iog for initial tip)
5) UK - BBC WS: Updated link to "regional schedules"
6) UK - European Music R: Deleted entry (the former archived
website/domain has now been deleted)
7) USA - R Free Asia: Added link to RFA website (thanks to an initial
tip by Bill Harms in faceBook group)
8) USA - WEWN: Updated link to frequency schedules

Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be late
May. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, April 25)

** CUBA. 11880, April 25 at 2232, RHC Portuguese is S9+20 but very
distorted. 11 seconds later the same thing is heard on 11700 at S9+10,
a bit crackly but not distorted. The former bodes ill for the quality
of English to follow at 2300. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 15370
also supposed to be on now but a JBA carrier and nothing else on 19m
is any better, degraded propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 // suptorted 15140, April 26 at 1512 check, RHC in
Spanish, another Sunday missing Esperanto. Plenty of it can be read
at
http://www.radiohc.cu/eo
including items with recent dates and linx to audio of April 5, 12 and
19 shows, and maybe will add 26 yet missing from SW. Something`s
always wrong at Radio Havano Kubo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, April 26 at 1932, NO signal from RHC English. But:
15370, April 26 at 1932, RHC French is S9+20, OK modulation.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. On rare occasions 15140 programs go
out instead on spy-numbers frequency 16180, but not now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 15130, April 26 at 1932, JBA music S2-S3; listed as NHK
Japanese relay; hardly anything else trans-Atlantic on band and even
Cuba missing from 15140 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, April 26 at 0616, TGAV is still on late and
stronger than usual at S9+10/20 during sermon in Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** HAWAII. 5000, April 26 at 0619, WWVH with jittery Doppler flutter
on carrier when heard with BFO, sign of severe prop disturbance, very
unusual over such a low-latitude path; and NO signal from WWV Colorado
which is normally atop here; it can be heard on 2500 tho weaker than
usual. Just missed the 0618 propagation report on WWV, but 3-hourly
e-mail from WWV says at 0600 the K-index was only 2, SF 69, and no
storms observed or predicted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7310, Sat April 25 at 2245, RRI S3-S7 poor concluding DX
Mailbag until 2246 just as in DX/SWL/MEDIA programs starting at 2240
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 25 at 2228, VOT English is on today, Turkish
songs at S7-S9; no RTTY now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed UT

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

** U S A. 9330, April 25 at 1824, WLCR via WBCQ is in English, not
German as previously scheduled, only fair S5-S8. Their sked now shows
German at 19-22 UT and wrong conversion to 8-11 pm local, tho they got
French to France right with a 2-hour difference (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 15770, April 26 at 1439, no signal from this WRMI which
normally achieves at least a JBA carrier; also no signal at 1512 via
remotes in Maine, Holland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. 12362-USB, April 25 at 1432, S2-S3, coastal marine
weather in Oz-accented robOM, mostly wind direxions and speeds in
knots, seas in metres, times in UTC? forecasts at least until Tuesday;
geographical references unrecognized, except 1434 two tones, then
Northern Territory. EiBi shows it`s VMW, Wiluna WA on air 24 hours.
Nothing heard from companion VMC Charleville QL on 12365-USB
supposedly also on air now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 5985 WRMI & 6195 WHRI, April 25 at 0400-0429, NHK
relay entirely in Spanish, no English insert here like in so many
other language services.

6105 Japanese via FRANCE went off at 0400 April 25. Ira Holmes in
central Florida reported that on April 23, 6105 had English at
0415-0500; but it was off April 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. Correxion: off at 2253.7* not 2353.7* of course; fixed:
9830, April 24 at 2247, checking VOT English via Bonaire
SDR, Turkish music and just in time for YL sign-off claiming again
this has been the 1230 broadcast on 15450! NOT. IS plays until
2253.7*, shux, no extra German today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 9410, April 25 at 1446, tune-in to end of a song,
sounds like Nat-King Cole, then a non-English song, S5-S9. Of course,
it`s VOA Korean via PHILIPPINES, also // weaker 12080 at 1451 check.

If you hear classic tunes from The American Songbook, chances are it`s
VOA Korean service, which plays a lot of it. Is this a big thing among
Koreans, or by the VOA-K music director; or retaliation for K-pop?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 12098-USB, Sat Apr 25 at 1436, CAP net, YL NCS
Aspen Gold 99, each transmission ending with beep rather than
``over``; classic paramilitary lingo like ``wilco``; Yellowbird 73
one contact; 1439 asks for relays before we close. No, off at 1440*
with net ID as Heartland. Aspen Gold is the Rocky Mountain Region
tactical callsign, not specifically Colorado which is Blue Mesa. Maybe
it was Yellow Brick, which is Kansas, get it? It seems we never hear
any real axion on these CAP nets, such as rushing to scenes of plane
crashes, but rather extremely rigid pro-forma exchanges.

No problem from the weak SWBC on 12095, which would be BBC Somali;
HFCC, EiBi and Aoki all agree that on Saturdays only during this hour,
BOTH Madagascar and Uzbekistan sites are in use. Surely it`s only one
or the other (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 25 at 1134 the 1130 on WRMI 9955, S3-S6 vs pulse jamming.

April 25 at 1300 on WRMI 15770: JBA carrier here at 1305. Barely
better in Bulgaria, reports Ivo Ivanov:

** U S A. 17775-, April 25 at 1457, KVOH on already and propagating
S9! musical prélude to weekly Saturday English block, the SSOB with
traces of 17815 WHRI? and 17615+ Sa`udi Arabia. Wavescan supposed to
air at 1500, and confirmed a few minutes later when checked on a
Kentucky KiwiSDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040, April 25 at 0603 UT, WHO Des Moines IA with dead air
until 0606 comes to life, blasting ever-changing opening music of
C2CAM // many others but not synchronized, 1100, 1110, 1000, etc.,
guest host tonight Jimmy Church. What would Ronald Reagan say? Is no
human paying attention at WHO to its output? I should have hastened to
pull something else thru it. Maybe will recur (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11785, April 25 at 1442, open carrier with flutter,
S1-S5. VOA Chinese via Philippines ends at 1400 and so too should the
CNR1 or Firedrake jamming. Nothing after 1400, except in EiBi, CRI
Chinese via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of imprisoning and
brainwashing Uyghurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
