Not FB, but twitter is where ADC has publicized Spectres of SW

As tipped by roger in germany.

Maybe she will have more to say about this SW broadcast.

** CUBA. 6000, April 24 at 0600, RHC English S9+10 but suptorted; 6100
S9+20 undermodulated; 6165 weak S8-S9 just barely modulated; while
only 6060 is any good, S9+20; and 5040 is off. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9580, April 24 at 0149, CRI English relay is
S9+10/20 but just barely modulated; // 9570 via ALBANIA is weaker but
louder, not unusually (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 5980, April 24 at 0152, TV Martà is already on after
finding it last night until 0300*, so is it a 2-hour span? The jammer
noise has already found it, underaudible. And yes, while this is
talking, the original Radio Martà frequencies are musicking and NOT
//: 6030, 7335 and 7365.

Then I go looking at the website and find this notice, affirming that
I had discovered the new TV-on-SW service on its first night, local
April 22; it`s 5 hours long, M-F 22-03 UT Tue-Sat, which means it
blots any chance of R. Chaski, Perà if it is still active until 00* or
01*? April 24 at 2308, there is TVM already but this early poor S5-S8.

``TelevisiÃn Martà podrà escucharse en onda corta --- abril 23, 2019
--- Noticiero Radio Martà logo - Compartir - Ver comentarios

La Oficina de Transmisiones a Cuba (OCB) estrenà el 22 de abril una
nueva alternativa para acceder desde la isla a la programaciÃn de
TelevisiÃn MartÃ.

Desde las seis de la tarde hasta las once de la noche, de lunes a
viernes, los noticieros de TelevisiÃn Martà podrÃn escucharse en la
radio por onda corta en la frecuencia de 5980 KHz.

TomÃs Regalado, director de OCB, dijo que se trata de una iniciativa
histÃrica que sirve para cumplir con la misiÃn de llegar a todas
partes de Cuba.

âEsto nos da una oportunidad de diseminar el mensaje de TelevisiÃn
Martà no solamente a travÃs de las ondas de satÃlite, de la Internet,
de âEl CaÃonazoâ y los DVDs que estamos enviando, sino tambiÃn a
travÃs del sonido. Las bandas sonoras de la televisiÃn se van a
escuchar en la onda cortaâ, dijo Regalado.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** HAWAII. 5000, April 24 at 1250, WWVH with new hourly announcement
about some US military exercise, but JBA under WWV; I quickly switch
to 10000 where the two are about equal but can`t really copy it with
additional QRM from LSB intruder sounding Spanish. At 1252 WWVH is
still announcing its phone number, implying, why are you trying to
hear us on a SW radio?? BTW, many years ago, I offered to provide a
daily hot-DX tip during a WWV minute, but they weren`t interested!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.9, April 24 at 1958 on caradio, ``KC`s rock
alternative`` non-ID with CCI. This is no doubt another translator in
OKC, per WTFDA FM Database, audiblizing the HD-2 of 92.5 KOMA, i.e.
K225BN, 200 watts at 267.7 meters HAAT, format Modern Rock, slogan
allegedly ``The Edge``: vs the only other Okie on 92.9, 100 kW KBEZ
Tulsa, ``The Drive``. This is an increasingly employed workaround to
get a subsidiary ``HD`` format onto a real open FM radio signal.

Per coordinates, K225BN is on exactly the same tower as 95.3 K237GE
making KOKC 1520 an FM station, also audible at same marginal level -
-- but how about in OKC itself where it`s adjacent to 95.1 100 kW
KQCV-FM gospel huxter also serving the OKC market, from Shawnee CoL?
Axually its site is beyond Shawnee, east of Seminole so it puts as
much signal into Tulsa as OKC, but is also easily heard in Enid vs
Wichita (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 23 at 2242, again no signal from VOT during
English hour to North America. Well, there`s always German in the next
hour? NO, none of that either today at 2302 and 2330 chex.

Do any other VOT broadcasts have this dismal track record, or is it
just a zzzzzzzzz middle-of-the-night thing at Emirler? Last year
someone suggested that instead of professional operators, TRT was
employing kids from the neighborhood for this task; no kidding?

9830, April 24 at 2228, VOT English is back on, but poor S6-S9. And no
German after 2300.

15450, April 24 at 1323, VOT English JBA at sign-off mentioning
correct frequency and maybe correct time too; and pulling the plug
immediately. Will this 1230 broadcast USward ever build up to
listenable level here? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1978 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday April 24
at 2100 on WRMI 9955: once again upcut from ID & IS runup, ``--- with
World of Radio 1978 ---`` I wonder who`s that talking? Good signal,
much better than simulcast by 7490v WBCQ, so weak on the PL-880 with
reelout, that I can`t determine how many seconds apart. Next:

0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780
0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [or 1979?]
2200 UT Friday WRMI 9955 [NEW; or 1979?]

I do plan to record next WOR 1979, late UT Thursday.

** U S A. 5830, April 24 at 1837, JBA carrier from WTWW-1 at midday,
checked here after finding 9475 AWOL --- good news for Swaziland, but
not for the dead racist in Laporte. Ted does it again! But surely not
sabotage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5990, April 24 at 0559-0602*, S9+10 open carrier.
Nothing scheduled now but reminiscent of China-via-Cuba on 5990 at 23
-01. If one were foolish enough to believe HFCC, it could be RRI
Menado, Indonesia in English! Or CNR in Tibetan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Top news on 23-4-19:
5850 'Radio Top Cidade' 2020+ with signal around S9 (glossy paper destroyed the hand written text ) with music and long ID that i only noticed the FM93(??) then again with song till 1930 . Echoed speaker's voice, several adverts .stoped on 1935 due to time limit and low tablet battery... (drained in less than 3 hours of operation)

In the mean time the stations operator exchanged personal infos with me via the chatbox and then sent me a email Below is the text about his station as auto-translated via Google :
"5850kHz Top Radio City is a free radio station here in Brazil, with 120w from the city of Ouro Fino, Minas Gerais, Brazil, is a web radio that makes the Vitrola program, which plays songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. ,the transmitter is transistorized by an electronic friend."

Remain interesting logs from same Kiwi :
9620 AIR 2016 with hindi songs S3
4779.3 Conhongas 2009 with song , 2011 with short talks in PP then ID ConhongasS7 1@3 (@illegible letter )

** BRAZIL. 11780, April 23 at 1427, RNA with YL hosting call-in, 11:27
timecheck, S9+10. Unusual to be so audible at this daypart rather than
afternoon/evening. I check for other ZYs on 25m: 11815 has a het, one
of which is likely RBC, vs Yamata and/or Urumqi; 11855.7, JBA carrier
is certainly R. Aparecida.

AFAIK, the only other Brazilian still active on this band is 11895,
Super Rede Boa Vontade (RBV), Porto Alegre, often reported in European
evenings, but I *never* hear it when I`m tuning earlier or later
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BULGARIA. 5900, April 23 at 0249, TOMBS at S9/+10, and not on 6055
new frequency as Ivo Ivanov had reported April 22 for 2000-0300, altho
I have a JBA carrier on 6055 from unknown source, nothing listed and
far too early for Japan at noon.

Ivo reaffirms that Brother HyStairical was on new 6055 earlier by
2100, and Stephen Wood in New England had him yesterday April 21 at
2130 on 6055. So unknown yet what time they really switch to 5900
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 2940.132, April 23 at 0556 UT, music detectable on ~S9
signal better than usual, but storm noise level peaks S9+20. Of
course, it`s HJNT, Radio Huellas, Cali, long-running second harmonic
of 1470.066 as already identified elsewhere, but I would still like to
hear an ID, myself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, April 23 at 0601, this RHC English is off again, like
5040, while 6060 continues VG; 6100 & 6165 are sufficient but
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 5980, April 23 at 0250, surprised to find strong S9+20
signal in Spanish here, discussing baseball, a staple of Radio MartÃ
--- but it`s *not* // 6030, 7335, 7365! Could it be RHC or WRMI on a
new frequency? No //s there either. 0253 topic changes to Cannes Film
Festival; something from Europe? Surely not Spain, or even France.

0256 plugs noticiero lunes a viernes from Radio TelevisiÃn MartÃ, and
more IDs for RTVM, including a secure web address for access anywhere
in world (i.e. Cuba) if you erase your history when finished. Sure
wish I could have copied that; what is it? 0259 once again mentions
`Noticiero TV Marti` and cuts off at 0300.

So we have a secret? new transmission from Greenville not of RM but of
TVM soundtrack, starting when, and regular, or experiment? NO jamming,
altho Cuba does ramp up 5980 noise well before nominal *0700 of RM.

Such an adjacency to 5985 would be unacceptable if WRMI were on there
from 0200 as registered available, rather than really not until *0330
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 5995, April 23 at 0601, no signal from ORTM, which some days
has been running well before 0600. So continues unreliably. Also
reports indicate that the two CRI relay transmitters are off again
after their revival a few weeks ago. Is anyone hearing those? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, April 23 at 0604, RNZI L&C in news, and no CCI
audible from Romania in German this semihour only. Of course for us,
propagation from S Pacific is much superior than from Europe (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, April 22 at 2201, 2218, REE is still in Castilian
instead of English even tho it`s Monday. I guess they haven`t got over
Easter yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 22 at 2207, NO signal from VOT English to North
America, yet another failure. This time I check the three frequencies
scheduled in previous hours in case its transmitter be stuck overtime
elsewhere ---- 9620, 9635, 11615 --- but nothing on those either.

9830, recheck April 22 at 2343, NOW it`s on with Turkish songs,
S9+10/20, and as expected 2351 GERMAN very brief headline(s), sign off
giving two phone numbers, nothing about frequencies! and 2352 into IS
music; 2356 stops and restarts, shortly ID in another language,
Portuguese? music and cut off 2358* --- just as if this were a
completely normal transmission.

Now I`m guessing the sloppyrator at Emirler thinx they are supposed to
run 9830 at 23-24 UT with whatever program come over the feed from
Ankara, instead of 22-23 UT; confused about summer timing? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. Re WORLD OF RADIO at 0300 UT Monday April 22 on
WBCQ, John Carver replies: ``Glenn. Yes. 5130 was dead air for WOR and
Hobart Radio. Nothing after John Lightning ended his show. John``

WORLD OF RADIO 1978 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday April 23 at 0100
on WRMI 7780, fair. Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v

** U S A. 9475-, April 23 at 0248, WTWW-1 still on day frequency as
well it might be, still blasting in at S9+40, while night frequency
5830 is vacant. But by 0558, 5830 is still off and 9475 has faded to
JBA carrier, still at 0623 final check. At 1404, 9475 is the one,
probably having run all night. SAWA WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, April 23 at 0553, dead air at S9-S6: it`s Tuesday,
time for the weekly anomalies from WWCR; this time 5890 is quite
weaker than 5935 with DGS modulation at S9+10/20. What about the other
two transmitters? 4840 is also modulating with something, S9+20; while
3215, supposedly silent at this hour, is S9+20 of open carrier. Is
WWCR doing this deliberately for some reason, wasting hundreds of kW,
or some glitch in automation programming, turning on two extra
transmitters when they are not supposed to be running? (Glenn Hauser,

** ALGERIA [non]. 9655, April 21 at 2152, French, not Arabic and
certainly not Qur`an from RTA relay via FRANCE, contrary to this:

** CUBA. 15370, April 21 at 2158, RHC Spanish, S9+40 but distorted,
more so than // 11760 with degraded program audio. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5900, April 22 at 0541, LA music poor S9, undermodulated.
Something new from Bulgaria? No! It`s a new leapfrog from RHC, // 6100
over 6000, which are S9+40 and S9+30 respectively, another 100 kHz
lower. This means that 6100 and 6000 now have to be from the same
transmitter site among the three employed by RHC. Contrary to Ivo:

0500-0600 on 5040 BAU 100 kW / 083&263 to Cuba English
0500-0600 on 6000 QVC 250 kW / 010 deg to ENAm English
0500-0600 on 6060 BAU 100 kW / 010 deg to ENAm English
0500-0600 on 6100 BAU 100 kW / 310 deg to WNAm English
0500-0600 on 6165 BAU 100 kW / 340 deg to WNAm English

Recently it had been clear that 6000 was the odd one out, often
closing earlier than the others, but now 6000 must be Bauta, or 6100
must have switched to QuivicÃn.

Another way to compare sites is whether there be an echo between
different frequencies, but I have been reluctant to draw such
conclusions as a slight delay could also occur between receivers due
to DSP. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15410, April 22 at 1419, Chinese at S5-S8 with
flutter, OOFSOB, stronger than similar signal on 15590, CRI English.
Aoki/NDXC shows 15410 this hour only is CRI Chinese via Kashi-Saiba
site. Per HFCC both are on 500 kW 308-degree beams, but 15590 is
Urumqi instead.

15110, April 22 at 1419, also Chinese at S7-S9, but not // 15410 since
this is CNR1 jamming or VOA Chinese this hour only via Philippines.

9180, April 22 at 1432, Chinese at S3-S6 seems // 15110 and not 15410,
i.e. CNR1 jammer here vs Sound of Hope, Taiwan. This is the only WOOB
jammer found in a 9.0-15.0 MHz bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** IRAN. 13735, April 22 at 1417, S6-S8 of dead air --- HFCC shows it
has to be VIRI in Russian at 1320-1420, 500 kW, 336 degrees also
USward from Sirjan. Was the whole hour dead, or finished a bit early?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9700, April 22 at 0534, VG S9+10/20, SSOB in
English, BBCWS programme relay about waste management. RNZI QSY from
9630 as I recommended due to Brasil 9630.50v het --- but which tonight
is a JBA carrier all by itself. Schedule now shows this as first day
of new frequency, 0459-0658, and no other changes:
https://www.radionz.co.nz/international/listen

For a fleeting moment at tune-in, I wondered if this were Romania,
which has been here in past. It`s still sked on 9700-AM for 0600-0630
German, which could well be a collision problem, unchecked here yet.
(RRI 0530 English is on 6015, 7325-DRM, 15410, 17760) (Glenn Hauser,

** TAIWAN. 9560, April 22 at 1429, S3-S5 open carrier, soon starting
upbeat theme music and Japanese announcement. Aoki shows Furusato no
Kaze for North Korean abductees, from Tamsui district (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, April 22 at 1412, K6FRC beacon from Patterson,
California is JBA vs CODAR. I check the 13550-13570 HIFER band just
about every day, and this is the first time K6FRC or any other beacon
has been detected since Feb 20 and before that Dec 19. Notice how
close these are to two-month intervals, so I wonder if K6FRC be only
sporadically active. How about all the others listed --- on and not
propagating, or off? That other Californian, with 100 kW, KVOH would
surely be audible if on 13 MHz band now instead of stuck 4+ MHz higher
on 17775; but target is beyond OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1978 monitoring: confirmed Sunday April 21 at

Also confirmed UT Monday April 22 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, fair

Also confirmed UT Monday April 22 from 0302 on Area 51 webcast --- but
checking WBCQ 5130.42v at 0320, vs storm noise from Kansas, S9+10 of
