** KOREA NORTH [non]. Nippon no Kaze, 1500-1558 UT, in Korean, Not Furusato no Kaze --- ```Hi Glenn - A slight correction to your posting:
``KOREA NORTH [non]. 9685-, April 9 at 1523, gospel? music from stronger of two close signals slightly offset minus. A24 EiBi & Aoki show Furusato no Kaze [actually Nippon no Kaze "il bon ue baram" - Ron], from Japan via Paochung, TAIWAN with two Korean broadcasts at 1500-1530 & 1530-1559. Apparently jammed or collided, but nothing else at this hour listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)`` Aoki database: A24 Shortwave Frequency List April 10 2024, 0100 UTC kHz Time(UTC) ITU Station Lang. Location 9685 1430-1500 TWN Furusato no kaze Jpn Paochung 9685 1500-1530 TWN Nippon no Kaze "il bon ue baram" Kor Paochung 9685 1530-1558 TWN Nippon no Kaze "il bon ue baram" Kor Paochung [il bon ue baram = Hometown Wind, ふるさとの風 - Ron] - - - Per Hiroshi - http://hiroshi.mediacat-blog.jp/e154169.html : April 9th: 1430's "Furusato no Kaze" is good at 15475, 9706, and 9685 kHz. No jamming could be confirmed at this time either. The same program as 1330 is on Tuesdays. And "Sally the Witch" has been added to 1457's nostalgic anime songs.`` Ron, California``` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Apr 10 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct, feature to be about SARAH[?], an AI creature dispensing medical info in 7 languages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 10 at 2200, VOT English is JBA to the DX-390, no comparison to 17855 Spain. On the R75 it`s S9+20/30 with ACI from 11780. Badax is speaking so no motivation to try to listen. Recheck after 2245 into Maryland SDR, mostly music, 2252 badax s/off as if the 1230 broadcast only, 2253 IS but chopoff before 2254* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 356 MCW kHz, April 10 at 0710 UT, ODX, 25-watt NDB at Ord NE, only somewhat unusual one vs high storm noise level. RNA Signals List notes: ``ULS WRLB2403 expires Feb 2025. Licensed to State of Nebraska`` --- first NDB I`ve run across with a *real* FCC callsign besides its nick-call. Do they all have a secret one? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13563 approx., April 10 at 2220, AN is the only HIFER beacon JBA now, very close to same frequency bearing others lately. This one is in the LWCA list as 13562.9~ in Somerton, AZ, which is in the SW corner next to Yuma. New one for me (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

A24 SCHEDULE INFO LINX: http://www.worldofradio.com/index.html
** CUBA. 15140, April 9 at 1530, RHC Spanish S9 but undermodulated and squeezing out spurblobs approx plus/minus 3 kHz, and weaker plus/minus 6. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9685-, April 9 at 1523, gospel? music from stronger of two close signals slightly offset minus. A24 EiBi & Aoki show Furusato no Kaze, from Japan via Paochung, TAIWAN with two Korean broadcasts at 1500-1530 & 1530-1559. Apparently jammed or collided, but nothing else at this hour listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Just sent this to OETA in CDT: ``BBC News mixed up --- Could you please straighten out the scheduling of BBC News programmmes? Customarily and as still shown on your website schedule on weekdays, BBCWN America is at 4:30 on World, and 5:30 on HD. Yet today Tuesday something non-BBC was at 4:30 on World; and Context is on HD at 5:30 so we miss BBCWNA completely! However, about 5:35 HD froze both via Optimum cable and your own stream, as received here and as often the case not enough signal to my rooftop antenna to check it OTA. O, finally at 5:41, Tech Diffs... Aha, you were fixing the mixup so WNA starts 5:42 - but will be cut short? Oops, WNA opening, but it`s NOT news but some BBC docu about sickle cell -- I think that`s what was on World an hour before. I wonder if all this is caused at OETA or from PBS. Or BBC itself! BTW when there is Breaking News! it`s pretty obvious that WNA original feed is at 4:00. Maybe you should run it then ``live`` if that would not cause even more problems. Anyhow, I`m glad you are adding stream for World and Create! Regards, Glenn Hauser, Enid`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, April 9, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.999, April 9 at 1803, Arabic S9+20/25 into UTwente; 1907 ME music, 1918 ``Yemen`` ID; no QRM or mod problems now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, April 9 at 2200 no VOT signal into portable; but by 2208 on R75, S9+20/30 but unfortunately, badax is reading the news. 2223 also her with a commentary mentioning Gaza and Biden but could not follow gist of it; also some ACI splash from 11780 Brasil. Via UTwente at 2250 when measured, S9+50/55! in songs. 2254 badax does the s/off too, for 1230 on 17620 only. 2255 IS. 2256* chopoff just before restart with German IDs. Something`s always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2237 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday April 9 at 1305 the 1300 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct, no jamming audible. Next: NOTE: There are always line breaks between each time entry, but some recipients eliminate them, like ABDX, merging them all into one unreadable blob, why? I should not have to put a semicolon after each line to separate them! 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2236][SW suspended but still streamed?] 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160 As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this week to Michael Rosenbaum for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 12160, April 9 at 1541, WWCR-2 with annoying squeal, spurblobs peaking about plus/minus 1.4 kHz. #2 elsewhen on 5935, 7490, 5935. 9980, April 9 at 1543, also lesser squeal from WWCR-4 spurblobs peaking about plus/minus 3 kHz. #4 elsewhen on 5890, 7520. See previous report for explanation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9475 & 5085, WTWW: George McClintock update as of 2010 UT April 9: 9475 back on air now: yesterday`s interruptions were due to driver overload, arcing and water leakage. Nominal sked is still 20-22 UT PPP & 22-24 others on 9475; 0000-0430 A.W.R. on 5085. Coincidentally I had been looking at the FCC (not HFCC) website which has finally been updated with A24 info as well as B23. As I told George, it does not show the two frequencies active, rather other old ones not in use: 5830, 9930, 12105. He also plans to get 15 MHz on the air; I don`t recall that frequency. 9475 will be starting earlier with additional programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Correxion: interval between LSR and DX is 104 minutes, not 144, i.e. 1 hour and 44 minutes; fixed: 891 kHz, April 8 at 0707 UT, het upon WLS. Rather late for Algiers, but what else could it be? 104 minutes after their sunrise 0523 today, per gaisma.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 13563.0, April 9 at 1534, JBA CW, a HIFER beacon I can`t copy. LWCA list https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm suggests YSO, Yellow Springs OH, 13563.04~ which I last heard Dec 19, 2023. Or: ``13563.05~ DAD St George, UT DM37 New, on soon? CW (2022/04)`` Still no entry for RQ, logged twice recently about 13563.5 -- ahá, topping the credit list is ``BH Bill Hensel AAØRQ, Pine, CO``, so ham call of the operator of PCO near same frequency is really AA0RQ as in ARRL/FCC Lookup, among 17 other Hensels. So suspect RQ is also at Pine CO, or even same as PCO. Later at 2220 April 9, it so happens I am hearing RQ again, RQ RQ RQ dash RQ RQ RQ dash, etc., JBA on 13563.5~ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** YEMEN [non]. See SAUDI ARABIA. BTW, I hear that USA has been intercepting arms shipments from Iran to the Houthis, and giving them to Ukraine - neat! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15466.85 USB approx., April 9 at 1531, 2-way in colloquial Spanish INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 27225 USB, April 9 at 2213, unhuman AI or text-reading voice stands oot among the CB cacophony, sometimes fading under it, about Hamas hostages and the Canadian government; later about robotic dogs vs Labrador retrievers at Korean AF bases, until 2217. Should we call this a N American pirate? It was like a broadcast, not a 2-way contact (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 35790, April 9 at 2209, JBA carrier again, probably 3 x 11930 Radio Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2319 UT April 9

Tuesday, April 09 2024
** CUBA. 15230, April 8 at 2219, RHC S9/+10 but mod sup/torted. Unreadable, but intonation sounds Portuguese; 11760 not on for a Spanish comparison, rather Chinese music fill in Portuguese disservice. WRTH A24 update lax RHC PP at 22-23 on 15230 but is in Aoki. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 28425 USB, April 8 at 2227, HI8AT making quick yet friendly contacts; some guys do that even if no contest. QRZ.com: ``HI8AT Dominican Republic flag Dominican Republic, Julio Cesar Jose, P O Box 951, Santo Domingo, D. N. 11101, Dominican Republic`` - only a few phone sigs and beacons on 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 15625, April 8 at 2224, rock? music S7/S9 with flutter. Aoki shows this hour is Chinese from KSDA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, April 8 at 1930, presumed Rep. of Yemen Radio, Arabic still going; into UTwente now has ACI from 11930 and AACI from 11925. That would now be Martí, and I guess VORW via France as sked this hour Mondays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Apr 8 at 2208, token English from REE VG direct tho some deep fading on the DX-390, feature today about manga/anime in Spain. Not interested. However, further tuning on R75 found quite sufficient signals on the other three, 15390 at S9+10; 15520 at S9+10/20; 17815 at S9+10/20; 17855 at S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 8 at 2215, no signal direct from VOT English. 2230 I thought it had come on, rather bleed from 11780 Brasil in bandwidth too wide. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE MW DX MONITORING, April 8, 2024 from 1830 past 1900 UT. This is very close to local mean noon here which is always 1832 UT: With city-to-city distances, approx., not site to receiver. Mainly on the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398, internal ferrite antenna only, on declining battery power and not especially sensitive. From just outside the house facing south. But first: 1200 at 1832 on the R75 with N/S shortwire, JBA carrier, maybe two of them. WOAI? next closest is 1 kW KYOO in Bolivar MO; bigsigs in IL & ND unlikely. 1200 at 1848 faded up to VG level, 1849 network eclipse coverage from east coast, recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_WOAI_1200_20240408_1849.mp3 Got to be 50 kW WOAI San Antonio. Gone by 1905 check. 777 km/485 stmi 1560 at 1833, fringe KEBC, 1 kW Del City = OKC has some CCI. There are several unexpected little stations in KS, MO and TX, but 46 kW KGOW Bellaire [Houston] TX is my prime target, as its Vietnamese will be unmistakable and unique. Despite its patterns, easily heard here at night. Keeps growing past 1837, and by 1843 during totality in SE OK, it`s loud and clear in VV, overcoming KEBC, recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KGOW_1560_20240408_1843.mp3 Still in at 1855, another clip with some singing: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KGOW_1560_20240408_1855.mp3 1901 still dominant but declining. 1908 gone. 777 km/483 stmi 1620 at 1845, talk station mentions Texas; nothing earlier. Got to be 10 kW WTAW College Station. Not often heard here even at night. 658 km/409 stmi 1700 at 1845, SAH between two carriers; 1858 San Antonio ad, AC 210; 1859 fade before ID! Trouble is, neither TX is near San Antonio: Brownsville and Richardson. NRC AM Log shows 5 kW KKLF Metroplex is Spanish, Jalapeño Radio; still? But address in Corpus Christi, so multi-station group? If it`s got to be English, that leaves much further KVNS Brownsville, 8.8 kW listed as Fox Sports. Maybe both unless Des Moines snuck in. Richardson: 395 km/246 stmi; Brownsville: 1167 km/725 stmi 1530 at 1846, baseball talk in Spanish. Maybe just KXTD Wagoner/Tulsa OK, but SS in TX are 50 KW KGBT Harlingen. More likely is the only other TX, KZNX Creedmoor, 10 kW Spanish; and despite address way out in El Paso, is really just south of Austin in the Eclipse zone. 701 km/436 stmi. Recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KZNX_1530_20240408_1846.mp3 1480 at 1847, Spanish in mix, overcoming KQAM Wichita. Only SS in TX is 5 kW KLVL Pasadena [Houston]. 785 km/488 stmi 1120 at 1850, religion in English vs Spanish from KETU Catoosa [Tulsa]. Only TX on 1120 is religious 5.6 kW KTXW Manor [Austin], separable. 674 km/419 mi 1110 at 1850, mixture in English. Primary is 50 kW KVTT Mineral Wells [Plano, Metroplex] listed Asian format. Only other TX is 5 kW KTEK Alvin [Houston], religious. 813 km/505 stmi. KFAB Omaha can have remnant daytime signal, doubtful now. 990 at 1851, Spanish religion, surely 7 kW KFCD Farmersville [Dallas]. Not trans- but within Totality; more signal than should be in daytime. 385 km/239 stmi 870 at 1852, SAH of about 7 Hz looping SE. Hoping for WWL! The only TX is 1 kW KFJZ Fort Worth. They fit! MWoffsets in 2023 and 2024 measurements has WWL on 869.9928 and KFJZ on 869.9991, i.e. 6.3 Hz. My count-the-fades-per-second method was a tossup between 6 and 7. Gone by 1905 check. WWL: 1019 km/633 stmi. Recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_WWL_KFJZ_870_20240408_1852.mp3 1710 at 1857, steady open carrier, local? Not noticed before, maybe a TIS or Talking House. 1680 at 1900, gospel/CW music loops NW/SE. Got to be 10 kW KRJO Monroe LA. 683 km/424 stmi 1510 at 1902, traffic and WLAC IDs with 98.3, Nashville! Unexpected, way off the angle expected for trans-Eclipse propagation to here. 995 km/618 stmi 1530 at 1903, English ads from ENE, 1905 ``ESPN 1530`` so WCKY Cincinnati/KY, likewise! 1212 km/753 stmi. These two were also reported during the TSE from east/south of them. Also checked 600 several times, clear frequency locally, for 5 kW KTBB Tyler TX, but no sign of it. Of course highband worx much better. I also looked for KBEL 1240 in Idabel OK where there were loads of visitors in OK`s small Totality corner, not really expecting to hear my most distant 240-mile Okie never logged, and did not: just the usual fringemix of Elk City and Wichita. Since Allan Weiner made such a big deal of the TSE, I thought there might be live coverage on WBCQ. But after 1900, 7490 & 6160 webcasts were ordinary stuff, gospel huxter and music. Meanwhile, visual DX: glimpsed the eclipse several times thru ISO glasses, which sure don`t want to fit inside, or outside my spectacles. https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_at_Enid_thru_cheap_filter_20240408.jpg There were some fleeting clouds but mostly clear. Not enough leaves on the trees yet for multiple crescent projexions; could see some thru pinholes. We witnessed the 2017 TSE in Nebraska, so decided to avoid the trouble, crowds and expense this decade, but enjoy it from home. Also noted local F temps: at 1814, 70.6. At 1840 as max begins, dropped to 65.3. Minimum 63.9 a few minutes later. After 1900 soon back up to 71 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2237 monitoring: confirmed Monday April 8 at 1954 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S9+15 into UTwente; and a couple words behind on 3975.002, S9+5. Both close down at 2000* contrary to schedule. Storms? I had been hearing lightning crashes, and there was Blitz over the BeNeFra, but nowhere over Germany. Opened up 6159.929 for JBA WBCQ. Both still off at 2130. Confirmed UT Tuesday April 9 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, still there, I`ll take it, despite being replaced on the skedgrid by Wavescan. But now we are in limbo? Still no Louisiana or Durango2 kiwis, so I pick an Athens GA: one of them has overload on 7775 sounds like WLCR 9330! with the phony Brit accent. The other Athens is clear for a fair WOR signal. Next: 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 [new] 1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2236][SW suspended but still streamed?] 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160 As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this week to Michael Rosenbaum for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 35790, April 8 at 2228, JBA carrier, presumably R. Martí, 3 x 11930 where it`s S9+20/30. Maybe with a big summer sporadic E opening I can get more than that. Nothing on 23860 = x 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555 USB, April 8 at 2223, WJHR gospel huxter overtime, S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9475, April 8, 2240-2300, WTWW on with bigsig. Checking since George McClintock called after 2200 saying it`s running 75 kW; I guess with A.W.R. programming, but dumps off the air and back on several times. Can`t keep it on or deliberately testing? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0428 UT April 9
