** ROMANIA. Re Romania changes frequencies: RRI English at 0000 May 13
is already back? on 11620, not 9550. So temp sked over? See previous
discussion:

[WOR] Romania changes frequencies: Eike Bierwirth Sun, May 11 at 1:13
AM: Radio Romania has changed many of its frequencies again. According
to their website, this is because of a malfunction at the Tsiganeshti
site:

"A malfunction has been recorded at one of the transmitters in
Tiganesti, and we will temporarily be broadcasting on different
frequencies." (dated 4 May 2025). The German section adds that the
replacement transmitter is not capable of transmitting in DRM mode,
while the Spanish section identifies the malfunctioning transmitter as
BD 300-2 and the replacement transmitter as BD 300-1.

The new frequencies had been registered with HFCC from the beginning
of the A-25 season but had been unused so far. The same had happened
for parts of the previous season.

English broadcasts:

Western Europe
0530-0600 9750
1100-1200 17630
1700-1800 15180
2030-2100 17580
2200-2300 9740

Africa
1100-1200 17860

North America, East coast
2030-2100 17580
0000-0100 9550

North America, West coast
0300-0400 11620

Japan
2200-2300 15170

Note: No DRM, none of the registered frequencies for Australia are
currently in use

GERMAN
0600-0630 11620
1400-1500 13740
1800-1900 11750

SPANISH to South America (no mention of other targets, not affected?)
2200-2300 15200 (new time!)

The websites of other language services did not show this notice, but
may just as well be affected. 73! Eike``

May 11: ``RRI in English to North America was very well heard in
Masset, but tonight at 0335 tune-in, just a barely there signal on
11620, the listed alternate, but 9740 is booming in as per normal with
Jazz music. 73, Walt`` Salmaniw.

John A. Figliozzi: ``Could be wrong and hope I am, but sounds like
this station is on life support, technologically speaking, as a
shortwave station.``

``Why would RRI need to change frequencies due to a transmitter
failure when an alternate unit should simply run the same schedule?
This makes no sense. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas``

``Simply different feeder line and wave matching circuit, from TX #1
or #2 -- towards curtain arrays / azimuth directions – vy73 de wolfie
df5sx``

``I was assuming the antenna switching matrix could feed any
transmitter to any antenna. Guess that is not the case for the RRI
facilities. Stephen Luce``

``Apparently not, and such limited commutation possibilities are
common for old facilities. In addition they also appear to have
numerous antennas that can be used only on two adjacent bands, hence
the frequency changes. The modernization in the penultimate decade was
obviously limited to replacing the transmitters. And now they run out
of spare parts also for what has been installed back then.
Kai Ludwig``

But May 13: ``RRI came on 9740 with English today at 2200 UTC with a
very nice signal into the Washington, DC SDR. So, still on this
replacement frequency, and not back to 11620 yet. Harold Sellers,

song fill. 2115 `Lbox` theme and outro which is the same canned
announcement played as intro, with same method for other programs.
That way you can`t play the opening or closing by mistake. I continue
to wonder why in the world they insert a song within the mailbag
program, not a request, since more and more songs are scattered
thruout each transmission. So I don`t need even to check the 2200 on
11785 repeat.

Alan Holder writes about his reply on Lbox: ``[WOR] TURKIYE - Enquiry
about Emirler transmitters -- re: ``Wolfgang Bueschel also pointed out
that some HFCC listings for TRT include 300 kW power, which means that
they have (or will) install a new transmitter at Emirler. {WRTH says
they already have 5 x 500 kW}``

``Some current HFCC listings for VOT are for 300 kW (the majority are
at 250 kW - their 500 kW units have been operating at half power for
some time now).

I enquired about the possible installation of a new transmitter in my
latest e-mail to VOT, which was read out on this week's "Letterbox"
programme. Presenter Cemre (Jemre) had this response from an engineer
at Emirler:

"There has been no new equipment investment made yet. The power and
frequency of the current broadcasts are deemed appropriate at this
moment in time".

So it seems that they are using an existing tx at 300 kW to try to
give a few dB extra signal strength in more distant target areas.

I also mentioned adjacent interference to VOT from Brazil on 11780
which affects VOT on 11785, as well as Voice of Korea co-channel to
VOT on 9875 from 2030-2100.  The engineer's reply:

"HFCC records show they are clear frequencies. If they are not
registered frequencies as mentioned, we will reassess them".

I suggested alternative frequencies, so maybe some changes will be
made soon. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` (Glenn Hauser,

1100-0205 UT while I have been hearing that later overnight. Pisco is
right near the coast south of Lima. More like SSE from here than
Morelia SSW. I need to DF it again.

The nights are getting short now and soon it will be the end of the

little over half an hour later. On 28/4 it was completely different on
the band, but that doesn't mean it was better. At 00-00.30 there were
some Peruvians like 1549.819 and 1469.983 but also Puerto Rico 1580,
Colombia, and Venezuela, even CBI at 1140, and a little later also

Aoki show it`s CNR2 = China Business Radio until 2400, and HFCC as
site-x, 150 kW at 257 degrees, which would not send much signal
thisaway. However, VOT in Turkish is sked to China from 0000, so maybe
it were on early (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [non]. 800, May 11 at 0612 UT, KQCV OKC in the clear, no

** OKLAHOMA. 6950, May 11 at 0124 UT, no signal from 5th harmonic of
my closest local, 1390 KCRC; yet I did hear it a bit earlier without
noting time; very weak but // 1390 on another radio. This of course
must be avoided when hunting pirates. Is U3 which means direxional
same pattern day and night, so should not be any change at official
sundown: it seems FCC AM Query nor LMS do not provide monthly tables
of SS/SR for each station any more? Also could not hear it on x4 =
5560. There is ordinarily at least a JBA carrier on x3 = 4170, and
more on x2 = 2780 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 27, May 10 circa 0300 UT, KFOR ``4`` OKC is not
decoding, signal too weak - very unusual. RF 29, KTUZ likewise. Yet
others such as RF 25 KWTV and RF 24 KOKH are normal. 27 and 29 on
backup lower power? Or DX QRM? Tropo is up a bit but not much. My
antenna at fault? On the rooftop it`s aimed about SE instead of SSE
directly at OKC. I have allowed that to stay as it should help get
easterly DX, but also reduces sigs from RF 13 OETA, and RF 7 KOCO,
insufficient. By 1600 UT, 27 is improved but 29 still too weak (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15500, May 11 at 0008, S9/+10 of open carrier with some hum,
stronger than anything on band except 15770 WRMI. Got to be Spain,
Noblejas forgot to turn off transmitter, on Sats sked only until 2300*
or rather -2305 after five minutes of earworm IS. Rechex: Still! at
0119 S9+30, and 0257. Nothing on the other three frequencies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, May 10 at 2201 VOT English not off the air,
S9+50/55 into UTwente. Spot chex: 2216 multi-lingual ID filler reel in
progress. 2217 music. 2221 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2225
feature mentioning early history of China, by Efsun the axentuated, did
not get title. 2241 music. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel again.
2253 s/off for the 1330-1430 on 13635! Which was the B-season
schedule; at least so far this season they had misreferred to the A25
1230-1330 on 17620, which this is not either, awry at Ankara. 2254 IS
to 2254.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CHINA? 7360

** U S A [and non]. LW NDB survey, May 10 at 0610 UT, when local line
noise level has lessened a bit, only S5/S6, allowing these to be JBA
detectable not only with MCW carrier but IDs: nothing remarkable, but
for the record: 255 SW, 293 FBY, 329 PMV, 332 IC, 346 YXL, 395 CA, 407
HRU (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. Armed Forces Day May 10: I missed most of the yearly
crossband event, but at 2355 found NSS on 7535.0 CW calling CQ AFD DX,
and a QSX frequency presumably in 40m hamband.

In full bandscan hit NSS again at 0003 May 11 on 9945.0, ``CQ CQ AFD
DE NSS ---``

And NSS voice on 7546.5 LSB May 11 at 0114, operated by Allan(sp?) in
Maryland, QSX 7208. Worked N2JF.

This was the sked on MARS website: ``NSS / US NAVAL ACADEMY ANNAPOLIS,
MD (USB + CW) 10 May 1300Z – 11May 0200Z 4,038.5 kHz USB 5,330.5 kHz
USB 7,533.5 kHz USB 9,944.0 kHz USB 14,487.0 kHz USB`` --- many others
active but none encountered now without the frequencies in front of me
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7630.5 USB, UT Sunday May 11 at 0127, AF MARS net with
AFA6CD as NCS; very pro-forma, calling each station for status report,
with abbr`d calls like 6CD, 6JX, 6RJ, 6GT, 6CN, etc. This was a
regular net, not part of AFD Crossband, altho one guy said he had
enjoyed it. Can`t find AFA6CD on a broad google search, other than as
some hex color code! Last logged this frequency on July 16, 2024
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2294 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Saturday May 10 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, because it`s off the air -
foiled again! It had been on when checked earlier after 0100, but had
problems as I reported. Don`t know when it crashed as I had not
checked again until 0258.

Confirmed Saturday May 10 at 1447 the 1430 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001+, S9 into UTwente.

Confirmed Saturday May 10 at 1600 on WRN North America stream.

Confirmed Saturday May 10 at 1733 the 1730 on SW Radio, Germany
6160.001, S9/+10 into UTwente, a little ACI from 6165 but NO RTTYditty
on 6164!

Also confirmed Saturday May 10 at 1733 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.001+, S9 into UTwente, running about 14 words behind 6160;
separate playouts?

Also confirmed Saturday May 10 at 1946 about 2 minutes into so started
circa 1944 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO; JBA vs noise level into
K9VD SDR, Jerseyville IL, which is closest to WA0RCR, not Godfrey IL
or any other Kiwi.

Also confirmed Saturday May 10 after 1930 on WRN N America stream and
after 2000 on WRN Europe stream.

Also confirmed Saturday May 10 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, S9 into Maryland
SDR, and glad to hear it S9+5/10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 11 at 0148 the 0130 on WRN North America
stream.

Since 5085 WTWW was still on by 0257, I suggested they could run WOR
at 0300 since it was missed last night. Instead started Truth2Ponder
but cut off the air a few minutes later.

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 11 at 0315, right on time! on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, S5/S7 into Maryland SDR which on night path is getting it
better than in Illinois.

** U S A. 5085, May 11 at 0123, this WTWW is on again with the
plus/minus 12.9 kHz parasitic spurs and the modulation somewhat noisy
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, May 11 at 1501, WTWW TOMBS S9+30 lacking spurs;
non-synchronized 9980 WWCR also with TOMBS. Redundancy! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, May 11 at 0122, this WRMI is off; pretty sure I tuned
across it earlier. Supposed to be on `Legends` at 0100-0400.
Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1450 kHz, May 10 at 0641 UT, ID in passing as ``Co-co``
briefly topping the graveyard pileup. That`s all I need: KOKO,
Warrensburg MO. See my previous log on Nov 8, 2024 at 0802 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 630.05, May 11 at 0609 UT, JBA het to 630.00 stations.
KHOW Denver had been reported offset plus but not that much. Next time
I should try to DF it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1610 kHz, May 11 at 0621 UT, dead air at S9+, suspected
CHHA Toronto again, the only N American on this `clear` channel -
except for HAR/TIS: hundreds of them listed here, almost all 10 watts,
including three in OK: OKC, Davis and Jet - the latter has been gone
for a few years:
https://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=3&kHz=1610
Listening further, a trace of modulation, QRM? or CHHA? In S America
there is one 1610 in Argentina +3 inactives, and two in Perú, all
low-power (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
