** VANUATU. 5040, April 5 at 0610, JBA carrier in high storm noise
level, presumed RV. Almost seemed like beat from second carrier, or
this one unstable. With Cuba gone, not even excited, that leaves
remote possibility of harmonic 3 x 1680, 4 x 1260, 5 x 1008, 6 x 840,

also again today overmodulatedistorted; combined with thick accented
YL discouraging listening. Recheck at 2216 it`s off! But cuts back on

currently active here as others inform us. Its MW frequency 1125 was
also reported from the Grayland, Washington DX site on March 1:

UNIDENTIFIED. 648 kHz, April 4 at 0656, two JBA carriers beating; I
never? hear any TAs or TPs here, and the three least unlikely
propagationally, 10 kW from Spain and NSW, 25? or 4 kW from R.
Caroline on ex-BBC frequency, all seem improbable; nothing in NZ
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2321 UT April 4

** CUBA, 6000, April 3 at 0605, RHC English S9+30/40, only 49m still
on but JBA at 0624 on second harmonic 12000. Also 9700 // at 0620,
S7/S9 and no CCI - if 300 kW from Romania aimed thisaway 0530-0630
really be on? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, April 3 at 0603, S9/+20 of dead air from R.
Educación instead of eclectic music, and as always slightly low in
frequency. I gather from other reports that XEPPM appreciates its SW
audience and sometimes calls out to them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, April 3 at 0602, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7319.998, April 3 at 0601, S3 music direct, presumed
pirate, Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda, last reported to be on 7320, and
this is very close. Nothing else known on this frequency.

Ron Howard was also hearing it, as usual much better: ``April 3, I was
listening from 0625 to 0655 UT, to Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda (Radio
Eastern Star), again on 7320 AM; pleasant listening to mostly Russian
songs, but also some instrumental music. Is wonderful that the station
occasionally plays an old Russian IS. My audio posted at
https://app.box.com/s/ql1oec2kkkapgg0vx01irw3sxqk7mb23
Ron, California``

Arthur Pozner replied: ``This Interval Signal was very commonly heard
on the internal Home Service (All-Union) broadcasts since 1964 until
the fall of the USSR. And that song in the audio recording goes back
to the Civil War era
(1918-1922)``

Walt Salmaniw, BC: ``Yes, I was listening just before then and agree
that reception was quite good in to Masset. I posted on the HFU, and
received an eQSL from the operator quite quickly. Nice touch. 73,
Walt``

Gary Pence also reports at 0640: ``The Russian guy at 7320 --- Hi
Glenn, I was listening on 7320 khz at 0632z, good S7 sig, KFS omni and
omni at Point Reyes. N. Utah has him OK as wo71 [?] in Northern
Nevada. What has changed since 4015 is that Southern Nevada radio
ranch no longer heard there and now doing a little better in Stauffer,
CA KB6c and the best sig in KFS southeast at S9+5 so he must be
somewhat in front of this 60 degree beamwidth. His audio is really
tweeked well for AM and sometimes a little over driven. I wouldn't
mind if someone tried another TDOA on this current frequency. 73s,
Gary, KM5X`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 3 at 2220, VOT English to us manages to be on
air today, VG into UTwente on the way, but overmodulatedistorted.
`Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` until 2228, the horribly-accented
YL with something about how to breathe correctly while exercising;
later, a `DYKT` segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563.5 CW, April 3 at 1458, HIFER beacon PCO from Pine,
Colorado is JBA, and so is on 13565, K6FRC in Patterson California ---
and seems to be another JJBBA somewhere between them but uncopiable.

** U S A. RF 34, April 3 at 1533 UT, one TV DX signal decodes briefly
as 33-1, KMSS-HD. That`s the 1 megawatt Fox station in Shreveport LA,
correlating nicely with APRS map showing a large tropo blob between
here and there. Rabbitears.info shows it has an X direxional pattern,
the NW leg good for us, and not too far off the fixed beam of my
antenna aimed SSE at OKC. City/city distance 574 km = 357 mi. Also,
BAD signals on the STB from these RF channels: 31, 28, 26, 22, 21, 14,
12, 11, 8. Not enough DX to disrupt any of my semilocals, but marginal
16 is also Bad (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, April 3 at 0602, no signal from RV on 7260, 7890 or
11835. But at 0608 a JBA carrier on 5040 - I bet that`s it, as later
confirmed by Ron Howard:

``5040, Radio Vanuatu, 0659-0750 UT, April 3. "BBC World Service"
promo, available on 104 FM Port Vila (my audio attached); 0701-0713,
news in Bislama (several items about the number of households in
Vanuatu without clean water and food, a month after the recent natural
disasters [news story - http://bit.ly/3U72sVZ ], etc.); island pop
songs; 0730+, generic PSA about cyclones; somewhat readable. Ron,
Asilomar State Beach, Calif. (near Monterey), Etón E1, external
antenna: 100 ft. long wire`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0021 UT April 4

** CHINA. 17880, April 2 at 2240, Chinese opera, like Firedrake plus
vocalizations, then Spanish announcement, S3/S6 with flutter and the
OSOB. CRI scheduled this hour from Beijing 572 site. HFCC shows 500
kW, 318 degrees, i.e. aiming NW across Eurasia. Followed by 23-24
Portuguese on same parameters, but slightly different SAm CIRAF
targets. It`s antipodal to Bahia Blanca, Argentina, so any direxion
should work, aside from other propagational factors. And I wonder what
the real ID is now in Spanish? Translating ``China Global Television
Network Radio`` could get really cumbersome (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 21530, April 2 at 2242, JBA carrier is the OSOB. Exploring
13m after hearing nothing but Beijing on 16m. Aoki shows it`s CNR1
jamming vs Sound of Hope from Maoli, Taiwan nominally starting at 2300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Sun Apr 2 at 2247, RHC Spanish, S9+20 talking about
``tormenta solar``, so must be the propagation sexion of DX program
`En Contacto`, probably starting about 2235; website has no current
program timing info. Wolfgang Bueschel`s DX program schedule for A23
shows it Sundays at 1335, 2235, Mondays 0135; but not 0635 when I have
heard it if a Spanish frequency be running late. Now at 2247 other
active Spanish frequencies are 11850 - axually modulating, 11760, weak
9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 7505, April 2 at 2253, JBA music vs high storm noise
level from southern OK vs a really nice day here: per Aoki, RFA
scheduled Tibetan this hour only via Dushanbe / Orzu, TAJIKISTAN. HFCC
is less specific about the station, just USAGM, but more specific
about the dialect, ``Bod``. OR, of course, ChiCom jammer. WRNO could
be on 7505 as early as 2200 but never is (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 2 at 2247, no signal from VOT English for N
America. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2184 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 2 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/17 into
nearby Noale SDR. I kept running it but at 2010 I am cut off, canned
``sign-off`` 207, 918, 1323 kHz in English; and stays on with frenetic
Italian programming starting with 22:10 local timecheck, then with
some English mixed in.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+15 into
Louisiana SDR.

On WBCQ Area 51, 6160 -67 Hz = 6159.933 via Maryland remote, S7/S9,
Johnny Lightning keeps on going past 0300, 0337 says something about
staying on for 4 hours - just tonight? On and on, about gun control,
etc. I`m then listening via webcast, but at 0400 I recheck 6160 via
SDR, and it`s already back to TOMBS, no WOR on SW! But WOR does start
on the webcast only at 0404. Next:

** U S A. 7490-, Sun Apr 2 at 2326, continuous instrumental rockish
music from WBCQ direct. Same stuff was playing from 2205 when I tuned
in the `7490` webcast. At first I assumed that was this week`s fare on
`UBMP`, but never heard any announcements, and continued past 2300
without a break, when `Le Show` should be heard. What`s going on? Of
course no twit from AW to explain it, nor anything on the homepage.
WBCQ overtaken by fill music. Listening a while longer, I realize it`s
a loop repeating same tunes. Harold Frodge replied, ``Heard clanking
bells & weird music at 0215.`` Arthur Pozner replied, ``The carrier is
70 Hz below the assigned frequency of 7490 kHz. Brother Stair came
back suddenly at 0228 UT`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, April 2 at 2251, this WRMI-5 is off, as seems to be
more than on at random chex many different hours; despite nominally
24/7. Still off at 0006 April 3, when it`s supposed to be `WRMI
Legends` on System K (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, UT Mon Apr 3 at 0210 check, still NO signal from KVOH.
Not scheduled to resume until UT Fri at 0000. Looks like SCG really
need a new transmitter. But they hardly have a monopoly on God`s
alleged Word, nor even the ``Voice of Hope`` slogan. However the
Listen Live link on website plays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
