** ALGERIA [and non]. This might have a bearing on the 2.3 Hz SAH I
hear on 891 kHz, Algeria and what? However, I have never heard any
carrier/tone on 889! Glenn
``Mark WA1ION Apr 28 #41056 --- Reviewing some recent captures I came
across a situation around 890 kHz. When listening in AM mode it is not
unusual to hear a 1 kHz tone on the channel. Prior experience has
pointed to the Algerian station on 891 as the source of this. As I was
trying to get clean 890 reception I flipped to lower sideband and
encountered a signal at 889 kHz similar in level to the 891 carrier
noted in upper sideband. A head scratcher for sure. Has anyone else noted this? I would think that this would mostly be
noticed along the US/Canada East Coast and maybe by the Gulf of
Mexico. 890 here is dominated most nights by Radio Progreso, Cuba. King Kong
signal but often with distorted pirate-like audio, rather like the 910
garbage-fest of R. Metropolitana and the wanky audio from the 550
Venezuelan. Sometimes Progreso mysteriously disappears leaving a
weaker jumble of Colombia, WLS, and WAMG. These intermittent outages
and the dodgy audio point to technical problems. Could the 889 and 891 products be originating at R. Progreso or maybe
somewhere else?
My strong suspicion is that one of the Cuban transmitters is the
source of the 889 and 891 tones. Too bad we don't have the Key West
SDR anymore. Mark Connelly, WA1ION | South Yarmouth, MA, USA |

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also ALGERIA [and non] ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed May 1 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG into
DX-390 portable with a few meters clipped-on. No news, must be a
holiday; instead, entire semihour is docu narrated by former anchor
Alison Hughes and probably an evergreen, about unequeal military
relations between Spain and US during the Franco era/Cold War. US
basically had full control/sovereignty over bases in Spain despite
flying both flags (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, May 1 at 2200, VOT not off the air, almost
sufficient direct into DX-390 portable, but SPAIN has my full
attention until 2230. Then a feature I don`t recognize nor its name;
2241-2249 `Sports Panorama`, yawn. 2253 s/off of the 1230 only; 2254.5
IS until chop at 2256* before restarting with German (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. Two or three HIFER CW beacons unusually at once, May 1
direct: 2304, YSO on 13563; 2305, AN on 13564, i.e. relogs of Ohio and
Arizona; and also continuous dits or E`s about 13562. The LWCA list
has a few single-letter beacons but not this one. Maybe rather some
idling ISM ute (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17690, May 1 at 1710, again NO signal of R. Martí to Cuban
mercenaries for Russia in Ukraine. Was also missing and found nowhere
else on April 30. Again May 1 at 1720-1725 I do a quick but thorough
bandscan and find it nowhere else on the 21, 17, 15, 13 or 11 MHz
bands. Propagation is degraded but VOA still manages a good signal in
English from Grimesland on 17530, and Martí to Cuba on 13605, while
11930 & 11860 are JBA absorbed. It`s done for now but unconfirmed
whether permanently canceled. Could it be they got zero listener
response? I`m on a Martinoticias mailing list and never saw any
reference to this secret? service. Now I search the website on Ucrania and get loads of hits on stories
mentioning it but nothing about the broadcasts; however this brief
about the mercenaries: https://www.martinoticias.com/a/mercenarios-cubanos-en-la-invasi%C3%B3n-rusa-en-ucrania-7-meses-de-silencio/387853.html
Then no significant hits searching on the 4 frequencies used, 17680,
17690, 17865, 17870 -- but no hits on 13605 or 13.605 either as if SW
were irrelevant (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
April 30 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/25 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed Tuesday April 30 at 2330 on SW Radio, Germany,

** ALGERIA. 17600, Tue Apr 30 at 0640, Ifrikya FM well enough S3/S7
direct to detect any English as on some previous occasions around this
hour: no, in French; 0643 Arabic? but Frenchish slogan ``La Voix
Africaine``. 0647 French and no English by 0658. Here`s another time,
April 30 from Denmark: ``Ifrikiya FM from Algeria has been heard in
English for several days now at 1800-1810 UTC on 15160 and 17600 kHz.
Great reception. Best 73s, Stig Hartvig Nielsen, Hard-Core-DX`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 15410, Apr 30 at 1445, S7/S9 two signals mixing.
EiBi shows CNR1 jamming and Sound of Hope, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Apr 30 at 0640, RHC Spanish on air much later than
normal, S9+20 with ``A ver, Iberia``, revolutionary stuff. Not on 6000
or any other known frequency now. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN. 11815, Tue Apr 30 at 1454, NHKWRJ IS, S3/S6. Filling
1450-1500 gap on weekdays between Burmese and Japanese. But no sign of
CRI English via Urumqi, East Turkistan until 1457 which is reported to
ruin NHK English at 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 30 at 1933 quick check of UTwente,
horrible buzz still roaring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.003+, Apr 30 at 2200, VOT English not off the air,
S9+45/50 into UTwente, slight overmodulation distortion. This time
news with W badax and M OKax alternating. Too much news and severe
weather going on locally to listen intently, so hit and miss: 2218
`That`s Why`, badax on why nims hibernate. 2223
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2245 about geomarked products. 2246 TRT
World promo. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2253 badax s/off for
1230 only on 17620. 2254 IS for about ten notes before chopoff, no
finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A. 10129 CW, Apr 30 at 1437, KD6WW call only, repeated at
irregular intervals and speeds, as if hand-keyed. Trying to beacon?
QRZ.com: ``KD6WW USA flag USA, BRUCE D LEE, 17520 KENNISON LN, LODI,
CA 95240, USA`` -- I habitually check 10125 for anomaloUSB phone
Aussie ragchewers on 29m, not reheard for long time now. Nor HK3QQ
with his keyboard-order CW letterism with errors (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A. 17690, Tue Apr 30 at 1850, no signal of R. Martí Ukraine
beam from Grimesland into UTwente nor direct. Has it been canceled?
Original 17680 at 17-21 still occupied by NHK Japanese via France
until 1900. Bandscan direct finds Martí nowhere else on 21, 17, 15, 13
or 11 MHz bands except the Cuban beams on 13605, 11930, 11860 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday April 30 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Querétaro SDR. Good
thing I checked anyway after removing it from sked due to previous
week`s performance and WRMI grid, which still shows Wavescan at this
time, altho on Apr 23, neither one aired! Apparently I should resume
it on WOR sked as ``irregular``. Also confirmed Tuesday April 30 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S6/S9 direct, no
jamming audible. This one starts immediately after music, no ID break.
Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW

1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, Apr 30 at 0703, S9+50 of dead air yet again from
WWCR-3, which seems to fail about once a week. But there are carrier
peaks at various spots just above and below. Must be quite a sight on
a visible display. This seems to correlate with TOMBS, but now it
happens even without any audible program modulation! I measure these,
but they are unstable, coming and going and jumping around as if
influenced by the lacking modulation: 4832.4, 4833.23, 4834.46,
4834.92; 4843.70, 4844.71, 4845.19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UZBEKISTAN. 15710.05, Apr 30 at 1448 JBA algo S6/S8, listed as AWR
Mandarin via Tashkent. Something`s wrong: normally off-frequency
minus, not plus. I assume the ChiCom don`t bother to jam this (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2322 UT April 30
