WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES
updated for A24 and DST in Europe
will be available by 0400 UT March 31:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

** ANTARCTICA [non]. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Mar 31 at 2226, NO signal of
LRA36 into Argentine SDR; 2303 recheck something distorted and at
first there seems to be a JBA RC, then just heavy splash from 15480
Chinese. Not in B23 skeds, but HFCC A24 shows CNR Beijing in Chinese
from 2300, 100 kW at 222 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034 USB, March 30 at 1513-1518+, Trenton Military with at
least 5 minutes straight of `no report received` from several Canadian
locations only, even Trenton itself. At least the timechex are
correct. It would be interesting to know exactly by what routing
reports are received, and where and how the failure(s) may occur
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 30 at 1820, RHC in French, with squeal, only S7
into Maryland SDR and zero signal into UTwente. WRTH 2024 showed
Arabic at 1900-1930 on 15140, which one would expect to find at 1800
during DST, since we know that English has shifted from 2000 to 1900.
Homepage also says ``Ahora Reproduciendo Arabe`` but we hear Spanish
instead, not French either. So is there any Arabic now on RHC?
Certainly Arabic website:
https://www.radiohc.cu/ar
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, March 30 at 0619, NO signal direct from ORTM, no noise
blob either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March 30 at 2305, no signal of VOT into
UTwente, but *2315.7 Chinese from EAST TURKISTAN chops on. May be
ordinary TRT failure, but I should have checked 11785 after 2200 in
case they got a jump on A24. That`s wherewhen English to us should be,
or not, for the next 7 months. HFCC shows no CCI or ACI, but Brasil`s
bigsig on 11780 is never registered (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2236 monitoring: confirmed UT

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475, March 30 at 1816, music as I tune in, cuts off air
immediately. Also at 1841, huge open carrier on and off quickly, into
Maryland SDR. Must be WTWW testing. But not on air at 2115 check,
despite supposed start at *2000. It is on at 2340 blasting hymn (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2345 UT March 30

** JAPAN. 28433 USB, March 29 at 2208, JG2KJU calling CQ DX North
America. QRZ.com: ``JG2KJU Japan flag Japan, Masayuki "Masa" Mori, 3-3
Minami ikaruga-cho, Yokkaichi-city, Mie-pref. 510-0008, Japan``
Some nice photos on his page:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6967.64 AM approx., March 29 at 0356, music JBA vs
high line noise level HLNL at S9+25! Per this, it`s Stern Radio,
6967.666v, including from station itself:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,127742.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Mar 29 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG
S9+20/40 into Maryland SDR, preview to be about how Holy Week is
celebrated, from the archives. I`ve heard enough already about the
activities of wacky religionists; apparently going to skip any news --
good, TGIF, but first the A24 frequencies again, failing to specify
anything about English, i.e. will be an hour earlier at 2200 and still
on thrice a week only. New listeners will have to find out for
themselves, or give up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Mar 29 at 2300, VOT VG into UTwente,
nice unID music at 2312 after `Review of the Turkish Press`, 2317
`Weekly Analysis` by John --- about how Arab countries have helped
bail Egypt out of its economic situation. 2322 multi-lingual ID filler
reel, music. 2330 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2337 `Turkish
Folk Tales` about a rich brother and a poor brother. Punch line: how
seawater is salty. 6CI undercurrent. 2344 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo. 2345 `That`s Why` with the badax, smoking causing cancer,
repeat of repeat. 2350 s/off with all-wrong English sked. Something`s
always awry at Ankara. 2352 IS two or three times till chopped at
2252.5, uncovering XJRTV, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2236 monitoring: confirmed Friday
March 29 at 2030 on WRMI webcast only, 9955 not yet on.

NOT confirmed Fri Mar 29 at 2130-2133 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz.
Recording via UTwente while I napped, only a weak Qur`an signal,
likewise when I set it up before 2100 and recheck 2228. Per MWlist,
the only possibility is R. Tabriz, Jofra, Iran, 50 kW, normally off at
this hour but no doubt extended for Ramadan, tho still a bit early for
breakfast. So no chance to check for Italia on 918 or 207 kHz, but not
heard theres for many months.

Confirmed Friday March 29 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, JBA direct vs HLNL,
but finally recognize a few words from #2236. Next:

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` WBCQ check, into Maryland SDR, Fri Mar 29 from
2348: 3265 off. 5130.253 ATATT. 6159.931 TOMBS. 7489.948 FKB. 9330.000
WLCR PP. 0000 UT Sat Mar 30, 5130+ & 7490- switch to `AAAWWW` and it`s
immediately clear as live, since right into `Good` Friday evangelism;
unneeded. Recheck near the end, reads a bunch of pirate names and
frequencies from FRW, no further details (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re 5085 // 9395, ``That voice you heard on the radio,
claiming that the CIA/MI6/Ukrainian intelligence was behind the Moscow
theater attack may have been Joe Kent, MAGA candidate for Washington's
4th Congressional district. He was apparently making the rounds on the
pod/talk circuit yesterday, flogging the "Rootin' for Putin" party line:
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-candiate-us-ukraine-may-be-involved-moscow-attack_n_66061c4ce4b0e166b2cd8ce9
The only thing scarier is how close he came to winning that seat in
the last election. Regards, Chuck Albertson, Seattle`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 900, March 29 at 0721 UT, just as I tune across, English ID
as WKDA, and 98.3. This is Lebanon, TN, U1 5000/136 watts in NRC AM
Log, but shows FMs on 101.9 and 98.9, NOS/C&W format.
Radio-locator.com shows Spanish! Radio Luz, also on 101.9. WTFDA FM DB
does not show WKDA relayed by anything, but there is a 98.3 in
Lebanon: W252DU relaying WCOR-1490, 100 watts, 87m, format Country,
slogan FM 98.9 Real Country, //WANT 98.9. What a confusing situation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13563.5 CW approx., March 29 at 2210, HIFER beacon RQ
again and JBA: all I hear is the ID over and over. This time I search
the UDXF iog: far too many hits on those two letters, nothing to do
with this or correlating with frequency. Frequency alone leads to lots
of number-station logs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0108 UT March 30

** MALI. 5995, March 28 at 0634, noise blob again instead of ORTM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2236)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2235 monitoring: ``From: Richard

** U S A. 9395 & 5085, UT Thu March 28 at 0350, VG via remotes in
Georgia, surprised to find this WRMI // WTWW, but far out of synch.
Incredibly, someone is suggesting that Joe Biden and the USA were
really behind the terrorist attack on a concert hall in Moscow!
Despite US having warned Russia that intelligence showed that ISIS-K
was planning such an attack. Don`t recognize the voice, so also
surprised when outro before hourtop is `Truth2Ponder`, Bob Biermann`s
show, but I did not recognize the voice as his, nor was he identified
by name. I see on the WRMI Programming page, ``Bob Biermann and a
group of talented and experienced individuals will sort through
today’s news`` so apparently really someone else. Of course the
recently updated WRMI System G program sked shows this 9395 hour
occupied by TOMBS. WTWW stays on another semihour until 0431* with
Christian music, A-W-R IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Thu Mar 28 at 0630, WRMI-8 with Bach solo `cello
music, but 0633 into an Irish song, S9+35/40 direct. Yet more
contradictory info on skedgrid. Transmitter sked shows TOMBS Tue-Sat
during this hour, but System E program sked of TOMBS shows the
opposite, 5950 starting at 0600 on weekends only! Anyway, this is
obviously not TOMBS! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, Thursday March 28 at 0628, S9+50 gospel huxter, WWCR-4
on air despite sked showing OFF air M-F at 05-12, otherwise TOMBS on
weekends: but this is not // 5850 WRMI where Scourby is Bibling on
TOMBS. What`s this? Seems I have caught such an anomaly before. Since
5935 is also on, they coöperate to produce the leapfrog mixing product
of both audios on 5980, providing Cuba with something to jam (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO PODCAST ON YOUTUBE, replacing Google Podcast

Thanks to Keith Weston for arranging this: ``Hi Glenn, It looks like
the new "podcast" feed via YouTube is now fully active and reliable.
https://www.youtube.com/@WorldofRadio

Official details of what this is and why it is happening at :
https://support.google.com/podcast-publishers/thread/264592324

Basically, the iTunes-like Google Podcast service will cease to
function on 2 April 24. Anyone who uses the Google Podcast app (or a
play their podcasts via Google Smart speaker) will need to start using
YouTube or YouTube Music apps paired with their devices. It's a real
pain and I hate this decision, but that's the Googleverse we live in
now. Setting the new stuff up for smart speakers is a little tricky,
but your followers are smart cookies and I wager they'll figure it
out.

Best, -- Keith Weston``

All podcasts linked at http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html

** CUBA. 15140, March 27 at 1535, RHC Spanish, S9+10 direct, ending
sports report at 1538, with squeal, perhaps related to spurblob? about
15143.6, and weaker at 2x above, 15147.2; but not clear matches on
minus side. // 11760 also on but weaker S5/S7. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, March 27 at 0645, noise blob again instead of regular
modulation from ORTM; back and forth from one night to the next. Or
could it be jamming? Following a military coup in 2020, elexions
scheduled for Feb `24 were postponed, per VOA news (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, March 26 at 2335, horrible roar still on,
S7/S9 into Maryland SDR. March 27 at 1543, JBA direct. At 1613,
S9+10/22 into Kuwait SDR; at 1842, S9. 2220, S9 direct. UTwente
unreachable. 2238, S8/S9 into Kuwait. Still at 2345 into UTwente. As
for sites, Ed The Navydude in Riyadh says, ``Jeddah is not active.
Neither is Ha'il. Only Riyadh is active albeit barely. They're hoping
to get new transmitters if they end up continuing shortwave`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Mar 27 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG
S9+40/45, today to be about Semana Santa activities, such as parades,
but lots of precip, some may be rained out. In recounting the
significance of the nigh dates about JC, which wander all over the
spring calendar, they never say ``allegedly`` - this is journalism?
2307 repeating the basic A24 SW sked, and yes, 17855 not 17885 for us.
Then quite a stretch explaining how one group which dresses in sheets
has nothing to do with the KKK, as American tourists are shocked. 2319
on to food. 2324 `Halleluyah Chorus`, 2327 report from Beirut about
some other easterish festival (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, continued from last report, March 27 at
0000, into UTwente, VOT`s 2300 English has not gone off, still on with
timesignal and extraneous German, and continues for some time, unknown
exactly when turned off, but by 0030 nothing but Chinese from EAST
TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March at 2300, no show of VOT English into
Maryland SDR, nor 2345 later in the hour, but *2311 XJRTV EAST
TURKISTAN in Chinese. Not on 9610 either, rather CNR in Mongolian.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K Q O G B A N I. 24970 USB, March 27 at 1530, G0VQO is one of two
phone signals on 12m band. QRZ.com: ``G0VQO England flag England, Nick
Haynes, 139 Hull Road, Anlaby, Hull HU10 6ST, England -- I no longer
send QSL cards Sorry. Hi I have been licenced since 1995 and still
enjoy radio, my favourite bands are 12m and 20m, I am active on all
the bands`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8992 USB, March 27 at 1546, occasional syllables between
long pauses, presumably a failed EAM from Andrews or somebase, not
modulating properly. I usually start my 9-MHz-bandscans here; or if
circa 2230 on 8989 for the pescador predicador circa Nicaragua
uncaught for longtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2235 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
March 26 at 2335 the 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/20 into Maryland SDR.

NOT confirmed March 27 at 1425 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, as it is OFF the
air; too late to check webcast. 9395 is audible poorly and maybe
9455.

Confirmed Wednesday March 27 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975,
S9/+15 into western Ireland SDR as UTwente temporarily unavailable.
>From next week: 1930 on 6160 & 3975.

NOT confirmed March 27 at 2100 on WBCQ because 7490- is also OFF the
air, no signal into NH, ME, MD remotes. But confirmed on webcast. The
others are detectable: 5130+, 6160-, 9330.0. 7490 still AWOL past
2220, why? Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975

** U S A. 12160, March 27 at 1544, WWCR with chocolate commercial,
S9+35 with squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13563+ CW, March 27 at 2213, dash and RQ sent thrice,
JBA but fades up a bit and certain of the call. Noise blanker on the
R75 essential as OG&E has not fixed the line noise yet. NOT listed at
the LWCA HIFER roster nor any reports in HFUnderground. New? Where?
Not PCO as expected around this frequency, recently relogged (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
