 ** ALGERIA. 13590, May 13 at 0145, S8/9+10 but just barely modulated. 13790, May 13 at 0145, S9/+10 with good modulation. Presumed both Ifrikya FM, the new `station` now carried by the TDA SW transmitters; but are they //? With some difficulty on two receivers direct, yes. At 0200 a 5+1 timesignal, final pip higher pitched, and French talk. At 0205 I simultry 13590 on Maryland remote, 13790 on UTwente, and yes, they do match. Not checked after 0300 when should be 13790 & 9470 - or 7210 & 9500?
Next check at 1850 May 13: 17600 VP S0/S1 in Arabic? No 15160 but could be under high noise level. I have extracted complete schedule from HFCC as of May 12: Béchar site, 300 kW at 131 degrees from the NW near Morocco: 03-06 9470 & 9500 [alternates; 9470 reported] 06-09 15110 09-11 17600 11-18 21550 18-21 17600 21-03 12590 Ouargla site, 300 kW at 210 degrees from north central west of Tunisia: 02-06 7210 [not in use? partial alt to 13790 below] 09-12 17600 12-15 21455 15-18 17600 18-20 15160 20-09 13790 Note that 17600 is registered for both sites at 09-11 and switches from one to the other at 1800. Publicity did state that Ifrikya would occupy 19 hpd. Tony Rogers says Holy Qur`an Radio is still carried at 18-23. And that ``Ouragla`` is assumed not on air at 00-18. I still see Ouargla misspelt, even with a Q! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15476 USB, Sat May 13 at 2119, LRA36 is VP S3/S4 vs HNL into what is usually the best Argentine SDR, as I camp upon someone. Even worse, JBA when at 2135 I can tune it to 15475.98 RCUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17455, May 13 at 1848, Turkish? music jammer, S0/S4 direct but JBA carrier on 17460, presumably Dengê Welat. Same at 1940 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2190 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday May 13 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+20/30 direct. As always a bit of intrusive music between the ID and my start; why? Also confirmed UT Saturday May 13 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130 minus 24 Hz = 5129.976, S7/S9 into NH SDR. Also confirmed Saturday May 13 at 1609 the 1600 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed Saturday May 13 at 1947 UT, about 13 minutes into so started about 1934 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, near St Louis MO, S9+15 into nearby SDR, but with very heavy storm noise over central Illinois. Next: 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE [maybe now also reactivated 7730, as on skedgrid forever?] 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0245vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0457] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3265.112, May 13 at 0128 check direct, no signal from this WBCQ, which had been turned on just for `AAAWWW` ``quadricast`` at +00-01 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2146 UT May 13

 ** CHINA. 13920, May 12 at 1440, JBA two carriers beating, no doubt CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope, as only things in Aoki but at odd `schedule` of 2213-1420. Then I fish around for some more OOB CNR1 jammers, not a thoro bandscan, but find this much stronger S7/S9, 15920. And 13530, both also in Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 9640 // 7335, May 12 at 2115, RIC VG into UTwente with music, 2120 Spanish drama about a folk tale, narration, birdchirps, other SFX, even Morse code twice at 2147, 2149. 2156 to a song in Chinese with piano. Continued past 2200, 2210 with no ID or any talk. But 7335 now has some CCI from an u nderstation. Nothing heard about closing down SW service; and is not even reopening as a new or repeat hour. Maybe it`s always been a 2-hour service on most frequencies rather than one hour repeated; accounting for no news break at top of second hour. HFCC shows 9640 via Kashgar, occupied EAST TURKISTAN, 7335 via Shijiazhuang, China proper. So this language service still exists, despite this report May 12 on the AER Forum, Spain: ``Hola, Acabo de leer en un chat que han informado de que cierran emisiones en español y que seguirá como Onda China pero en internet y rrss. Así empezó Irán y finalmente dejó de emitir en español... ¿Alguno sabe algo más? Un saludo -- Pedro Sedano, Madrid, España, COORDINADOR GENERAL, ASOCIACIÓN ESPAÑOLA DE RADIOESCUCHA (AER)`` and attached a jpg stamped a few hours ago which I translate: ``To all followers of our page: We announce officially that RIC in Spanish has now fulfilled its historic mission and will no longer exist as an institution. But we continue transmitting under the name of Onda China on social networks and podcast services. In this age of confrontation, if you want to find a bridge between the Orient and the Hispanic world, we are here. A thousand thanks for your company during more than a decade. We love you!`` Surely it`s been a lot more than a decade. Just a few days ago I had logged CRI Spanish on 17880 in the 22 UT hour. Then I extract the entire SS schedule from HFCC A23: 06-08 17680 Kashi 21-23 7335 Shijiazhuang & 9640 Kashi 22-23 17880 Beijing 22-24 11855 Urumqi 23-01 9590 Kashi & 9800 Kashi 00-01 5990 Habana 01-03 9590 Kashi & 9710 Kashi Obviously, still going, so the Onda China item jumped the gun - or is it FAKE? Maybe broadcasts will prolong for years of music fill only, like the longtime fate of Portuguese? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CONGO. 6115, May 12 circa 0615, JBA carrier: too early for Japan except maybe in winter, but not quite too late for Congo, Brazzaville sunrise 0557. At 4 degrees south of Equator, varies only about 30 minutes in course of a year. Manuel Méndez, Spain, had reported May 7, as I quoted on WOR 2190: ``CONGO, 6115, Radio Congo, Brazzaville, very irregular, checked the last days early in the morning and in the afternoon and out of the air.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100, May 12 at 0610, S5/S6 JBA signal, dead air? Must be RHC which ought to be a bigsig. So then I check 6100 x 2 = 12200, where there is S9+10 of dead air. Transmitter must be mistuned to radiate mostly on second harmonic. Something`s always wrong at RHC. No other frequencies found active now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5800, May 12 at 0614, lite pulse jamming against nothing, since months ago, WRMI briefly put R. Repúblca here three hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, May 12 at 1449, no RHC which is supposed to be on here thru midday but algo JBA on 15230 scheduled until 1500 per Aoki. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INTERNATIONAL INTERNET. Some months ago I publicized an archive access site for `Composers Datebook`, a daily 2-minute feature, but in the meantime it seems to have stopped while another one is now available: https://www.yourclassical.org/composers-datebook This is a lot more convenient than tuning in every day or weekday only at a certain time on a certain station such as KUCO, M-F at 11 & 21 UT - or at least to catch any that have been missed. `Engines of our Ingenuity` is another good one, on KUCO M-F at 20 UT, <4 minutes. Own website is lavishly illustrated with text and link to `latest` edition, such as https://uh.edu/engines/epi3288.htm I`m not clear how far back one may retrieve them. But this linx to next and previous programs. And e.g. I jumped back 88 days by changing the number to 3200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 9435 // 11710, May 12 at 1522, VG sweet songs from this paradise on Earth, VOK, per Aoki this hour in English toward North America, 200 kW at 28 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17450, May 12 at 1444, JBA music, only thing below 17490 JBA carrier, presumably Dengê Welat via UZBEKISTAN and/or Recep the Jammer from TURKEY. 17460 & 17470, May 12 at 2009, two JBA signals, presumably those two again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 11669.994, Fri May 12 at 2211, token English from SNR in interview about the ballet, `Raymonda`, set in the Crimean War - the 19th century one. It`s a rare full produxion lasting 2 hours and 40 minutes. https://www.ballet.org.uk/blog-detail/need-know-ballet-raymonda/ 2222 contact info and 2223 about artist Joan Miró. 2226 about the Eurovision Song Contest culminating this Saturday. EBU denied Pres. Zelensky`s request to let him speak during it. 11670, VG S9+20/25 into UTwente this African beam, but with constant squeal unless bandwidth narrower than 4.62 kHz; // 15520.000 for ME slightly weaker but clear. 17715.013 for S America also sufficient as well as 17855.000 for N America, but the latter with some distortion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN. 9685, May 12 at 1525, S7/S9 upbeat orchestral music; 1530 pause and more with brief YL in Korean. Aoki shows Nippon no Kaze via Paochung at 1500-1559, preceded by Japanese version Furusato no Kaze at 1430-1500, the latter again at 1600-1630 but via Uzbekistan. Beam from Taiwan toward Korea North carries on well into deep North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 12 at 2210 & 2230, NO signal from VOT English into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2190 monitoring: confirmed first SWBC Friday May 12 at 1430 after Blalock the Blaster, on WRMI 9955, as usual VP direct only S5/S8 but no jamming audible; stayed on past 1500 with TOMBS. Also confirmed Friday May 12 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR. Hiccuped as if I said ``2190-90``. Next: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 0400 UT Saturday WBCQ Radio Angela 5130v to WSW 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE [maybe now also 7730?] 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0245vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0457] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7730, further monitoring of this reactivated WRMI, via Maryland remote: UT Fri May 12 at 0233, talking about earthquakes at Salton Sea; by 0236 I find // 5950 which is much stronger, and it`s the voice of Bishop Bob Biermann on his so-called `Truth2Ponder` show on System L. Now he`s talking about next Monday having to go in for a procedure on his bladder, in Virginia, and hopes it will not degrade his radio voice as happened before, since he has these shows to do plus a preaching engagement. 15770 is also audible much stronger, but not //. 7730, next check at 0619, direct, Jeff is interviewing the `Cruising the Decades` guy from Akron who is visiting Okee. S7/S9. Talks about also being on Channel 292 and WBCQ. This must be `Viva Miami`; not // anything on 7 or 9 MHz, and 15770 is a JBA carrier as usual in the nightmiddle. Cut off at 0629.5 for canned ID and into relay of some station with news about Turkey at 0630.0. VM is not accounted for on any System at 0615! An 0630 relay could be R. Slovakia International, as on System H 15770. But Alan Roe, Teddington UK, reports: ``Glenn, I checked WRMI 7730 kHz (via a KiwiSDR) from 0645 to 0705 on May 12th and noted Deutsche Welle in English via WRN until 0700 followed by TOMBS when I tuned away.`` Now Jeff has replied to my inquiry: ``Glenn: I have just posted the following on our Facebook page: 7730 kHz Back on the Air As many of you are aware, Hurricane Ian last September destroyed the antenna we were using for 7730 kHz beamed to Europe, and that frequency has been off the air most of the time since then. We are happy to say that our engineers have now constructed a provisional antenna with the same 44-degree beam. We have been testing on air for the past few days. However, we have also had some serious problems with the transmitter, unrelated to the hurricane. It is now operating at low power, so we can't reach Europe, but it is covering much of Eastern North America. Most of the programs that were on 7730 kHz were transferred to 15770 kHz after the hurricane. But we will be running 7730 kHz 24 hours per day, and we will be developing the program schedule for this frequency in the coming days, which we will post on our website, www.wrmi.net. Jeff Jeff White, General Manager WRMI Radio Miami International 10400 NW 240th Street Okeechobee, Florida 34972 USA Tel +1-305-559-9764`` BTW, the transmission grid still shows R. Tirana at 0600 System H on 15770, but Jeff tells me WRMI is no longer receiving new RT shows forwarded by Christian Milling at shortwave.de On the programing grid, lots of other stuff shown during that semihour. Maybe some other third party could get Albania into Florida, as R Tirana itself has never shown any interest in such a relay, was not announced on air nor mentioned on website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5010, May 12 at 0615, WRMI-14 is off. Supposed to run all night until 1500 or Saturdays -1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3265.112, May 12 at 2356 my usual pre-AAAWWW check of WBCQs finds this one on air for first time in months, and just as off-frequency+plus as before, S7/S8 and not as noisy as expected since not much activity around there to Maryland SDR, unlike big storms just south of Enid. Also: 5130 -12 Hz = 5129.988, S7/S8; 6160 -68 Hz = 6159.932, S8/S9; and 7490 -73 Hz = 7489.927, S9/+20. Each with separate programming except 3265+ seems to match 7490- with the FKB gospel huxter. After 0000 May 13, `AAAWWW` starts on all joined. Angela is ``remote`` on lofi phone, i.e. still in Fla, while Allan is in Maine. Strangely, Angela has a lot more to say this week than otherwise when in the same studio. It`s a dialog between them thruout. Focus on AM radio including SW. Allan discourages Angela from going political this time but still manage to get some pro-T****, anti-Biden digs. 0056 a few emails, running a bit over to JIP Hal Turner at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10077.5 USB approx., May 12 at 0626, 2-way in Brazuguese; unseems like all-business aero contacts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0109 UT May 13

 ** NIGERIA. 7254.937, May 11 at 0634, VON is on with dead air or JBM?, S9/+10 direct, so for first time in long time I remeasure it here: always within a few Hz of this off-frequency. Something`s awful at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Re: [WOR] Oklahoma governor trying to eliminate public TV -- some other replies on the WOR iog as of May 5: ``It seems to be becoming a pattern. When these (so-called) “conservatives” start accusing those opposing them of something, it’s seemingly in an attempt to justify their doing the very thing they claim to oppose. In this case, the “indoctrination” canard is being used to justify elimination of expression of any opinions (even though supported by facts) that counter his desire to indoctrinate according to his own beliefs (which ironically are unsupported by fact, but still faithfully reported by public media as part of the debate.) That’s not conservative, it’s authoritarian bordering on the fascist. And, just incidentally, it’s directly counter to the First Amendment. John Figliozzi`` ``Not only are most so-called "conservative" actions authoritarian in nature; they are also appearing more and more as if a large group of so-called "adults" are kicking and screaming, embroiled in an out-of-control temper tantrum in the middle of the floor. How else can one describe the ongoing debt-ceiling mess? Nyaaah-nyaaah, Amerika! Greg Hardison`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

W&M conversation in English. Not // 9395 TOMBS or 9455. Not the 15770 transmitter as that is still there with JBA carrier. Some roaring noise QRM wideband around 7730. Skedgrid still does not show any activity 24h from Xmtr 1 or 2, both not on 7730 at different azimuths. So I ask Jeff, hoping for a reply: ``Jeff, Last night for first time in many months I heard a signal on 7730, 0636 UT, S9+10. 15770 also a carrier. 7730 not TOMBS, not sure which System or program.

 ** CHINA. 17880, May 10 at 2226, S0/3 Spanish mentions ``versículo`` so a gospel huxter? Hardly, then alternates Chinese, so it`s CRI with a language lesson; as sked 22-23 via Beijing 572 site. Best if not only signal on band from FE, off the back? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 4765, May 10 at 0125, R. Progreso is back on air after long absence. At tune-in, multi-locations of FM and AM frequencies including 850 which fits, but no ID heard, nor mention of OC tho may have been. S9+10/20 and only -1.6 Hz into Missouri SDR with high storm noise level. After some music, full traditional ID at 0130 as ``Radio Progreso, La Onda de la Alegría``. Rebelde is also on now, 5025 about same signal at S9+10/25. Richard Langley, NB had reported to WOR iog: ``Last night (UT 7 May) around 0140, 5025 and 4765 kHz both were on with good signals here in NB but 4765 was QRMed by a strong utility signal (CODAR?). Nothing heard on 5040 kHz. -- Richard Langley``. 4765 nominal sked presuably still only 0030-0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 28472 USB, May 10 at 2217, OSOB, no beacons either, is ham with DU accent making quick US contacts. Listened for 5 minutes before he quickly mentioned his own call, maybe ZL1AW? No fonetix; then he does spell own name ROSS. ZL1AW is not Ross, but dxcluster/heat hits one ZL contact on same frequency earlier at 2125, ZL1WN, who per QRZ.com is a Ross, and he`s also a 10-10er which was mentioned. I`m not too enthusiastic about this roundabout way of IDing when hams ought to give their own call frequently and fonetikaly. Anyhow: ZL1WN New Zealand flag New Zealand, ROSS BIGGAR, 210 Oroua Rd, R D 5, Palmerston North 4475, New Zealand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Further comments about eliminating OETA, on the WOR iog: Re: [WOR] Oklahoma governor trying to eliminate public TV Stephen Michael Kellat, Ashtabula, Ohio: ``I really get worried by people wanting to rely solely on Wireless Emergency Alerts (“WEA”). The whole alerting system is designed to use multiple methods of reaching people. The seeming redundancy is necessary to ensure people hear the message. WEA still has overshoot problems in terms of not reaching the correct targeted areas. People can still totally opt out of receiving such messages on their wireless devices, too. I don’t think FCC has another test of WEA effectiveness teed up in the near term. The last report publicly released was not a happy read. Politicians need to stop pandering to the crazy base with half-cocked plans like this.`` Benn Kobb, of Experimental Radio: ``"These alerts will continue regardless of whether the OETA towers are there or not, and certainly regardless of the governor’s veto," Siegfried said. Well, not necessarily. Wireless Emergency Alerts do not go directly from OK public safety officials to the cellular phone carriers. That is not how the system is set up. The alerts go first to FEMA for a rapid, automated authentication step. FEMA then delivers them over the Internet to the cellular base stations in the geographic area designated for warning.
