** BRAZIL. 9818.675, March 23 at 0627, JBA talk here, presumed the
always off-frequency R. Nove de Julho. Sometimes has been slightly
above 9819 but never attaining nominal 9820 as in WRTH where you`d
never know about its signature offfrequenciness. EiBi latest had it on
9819.1 but Aoki can`t stand any decimals, not even 9819 but ``9820``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9965, March 23 at 0625, pulse jamming against nothing! It was
in July 2011 when I first noted that Radio República, ELCOR Costa Rica
transmitter was missing from 9965, and also from 5954+. By then RMI
was carrying it via Sackville. weekends only on 9490 - later moved to
France. So Cuba has been incompetently jamming 9965 the 10+ years
since, just in case. ¡Viva la polución! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, March 23 at 0649, only RHC English frequency still on,
S9 with hum; but 5040 continues in Spanish, S9+30, blocking any
Vanuatu. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, March 23 at 1523, RHC S9/+10 of humbuzz only, and ACI
from 11765 China. By now both 13700 & 13740 are off as well as 15230,
but 15140 remains JBA in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** IRAN [non]. 15629.837, March 23 at 1439 and still 1519, JBA carrier
with Doppler flutter. Only thing anywhen listed on ``15630`` is Iran
International TV audio from UK via UZBEKISTAN, which is well known for
its offfrequenciness. But both EiBi and Aoki show it only until 1330;
extended? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MONGOLIA [non]. 5800, UT Wed March 23, I hear almost all of Voice
of Mongolia`s new relay via WRMI at 0130 Tue-Sat: good signal via
Brasilia #1 KiwiSDR, tuning in at 0134. Entire broadcast presented by
one woman, name unknown; she has some accent requiring more careful
than casual listening. News? items first include; today is anniversary
of first space flight by a Mongolian in 1980 by the USSR. UN ranx
Mongolia #62 in happiness, out of 146; and some other survey rankings.
0146 end news, Poetry Break and Water Issues coming after some music.
Poem presented in English is ``I will become grass in the east``,
unfortunately hard to follow, maybe loses something in translation?
0145, Water Issues: today 22/3 is World Water Day. Mongolia deals with
dryness, degraded waterness; includes an interview with someguy, more
difficult accent; explains river drainage patterns. 0157 ending, some
nice EZL music hardly Mongolish; 0159 sign-off starts to give own
12### SW frequency at 0900 but cut off for WRMI `Everglades` ID -
plenty of H2O there! Squeezed between two great autocratic
dictatorships, and below the radar in world news, I wonder, How
democratic is Mongolia?

but seems to have been a setback in 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 23 at 1945, R. Svoboda S9+35 into
UTwente, but distorted from presumed Armenian defective transmitter.
Also has a het from 9372, jamming? But into Khimki, Russia SDR, good
S8-S9 somewhat noisy with no het or jamming. Off at 2000* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, 12030, 11940, 11685, Wed Mar 23 at 2308 check, token
English from REE manages all four frequencies, all VG except 11685
into Maryland SDR; a report about Beirut (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.000, March 22 at 2300, into UTwente, nothing
audible, but Synch locked on to S7 of exact frequency; no VOT! By
2319, S9+10 nothing but Chinese from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST
TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and
other Moslems. VOT to North America in English totally absent.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
5960, March 23 at 2309, VOT English back on air, S9/+10 into Maryland
remote, good modulation but considerable hum, ending Review of the
Turkish Press. Carrier offset +17v Hz. 2318 `Feeling Supreme` natural
cures for insomnia including rosemary, cherry pie, ginseng, lemon
grass tea, lavénder tea, mint tea, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 23 at 0504-0509.5, English segment
otherwise Ukrainian from Ukrainian Radio via WRMI, which I tuned from
0459; VG into Maryland SDR, ``Ukrainian Security Issues``, to put it
mildly, usual too-rapid reading. I recorded it all and debate whether
I can spare that much precious World of Radio 2131 time to spread it
for the record. If not, may provide it all on my website (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: ``From: Richard

Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees,
Dear Glenn: World of Radio #2130, confirmed, below with Details:
WBCQ:
6160, S9 signal, 0325 (433), QRM 6165 kHz [Cuba], almost missed 2130,
program went into Hobart, 0329, March 21 UT 2022 [Mon]

WRMI:
9395, QRN, 0139, 0145, 0158 (45433), 0159, March 19 UT [Sat]
9395, old tv set noise, 0030, 0042, 0055 (45433), 0058 March 22 [Tue]
9955, jingle, hear me again, 2259, March 22 UT [Tue]
5850, first morning in years slept 1545 UT, missed the time, sleepy,
1030, March 23 UT [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB)``
Confirmed Tue March 22 after 2230 on WRMI 9955: S9/+10 direct; later
S8/S9 into UTwente way offbeam; S5-S7 into LU4AD Argentine SDR; S7-S9
into Brasília #1 SDR by 2258 over a bit of jamming.
Fortunately? I awakened at 1055 and confirmed the 1030 Wed Mar 23 on
WRMI 5850, VG direct; 1059 closing stepped on so my last few words
were overridden, why? Happens consistently on some WRMIs, not others.
My files are never over 29:00 exactly.
Also confirmed Wed Mar 23 at 2124 the 2100:21 in WBCQ 7490v, S9/+15
into Maryland SDR. Next:
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A [and non]. From disgraced FB: ``WRMI Radio Miami
International Yesterday at 4:30 PM · [March 22 at 2030 UT?]
Just a quick note to advise our listeners that the antenna repair on
7730 kHz has been completed, and this frequency will transmit as
scheduled beginning immediately.
Please note that 7730 beamed to Mexico, Western North America and the
South Pacific will change to 7780 kHz this coming Sunday March 27 for
the A22 season, and our frequency of 7780 beamed to Eastern North
America and Europe will switch to 7730 kHz.`` [also via Alan Roe]
Good, but 7730 was *not* on the air immediately. It had been scheduled
starting at 0000 UT. I left a receiver on that frequency and it was
vacant all evening UT March 23. However, when I quit at 0646 there was
a JBA carrier incomparable to booming 7570; probably ChiCom jammer as
7730 is also a 24-hour Sound of Hope frequency. Maybe 7730 WRMI will
be back on by 0000 UT Thursday March 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15770, March 23 at 1917, missed checking whether RFPI in
Russian be again on WRMI at 1900 Wednesday, but mostly music until
1930 VOA News, and 1935 `Flashpoint Ukraine`. First via UTwente,
only S6-S7 and with RTTY QRM on the low side, evitable by USB-only
tuning. At Maryland SDR, no sign of the RTTY and VG S9+10 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9346.182v, March 23 at 0631, weak gospel huxter in English
citing Acts V. I am hearing this only in USB mode where there is also
a reduced carrier. I never hear it sliding, but it keeps jumping
downward; shortly 9345.76, 9345.44 hardly giving me a chance to
precision it. As I keep tuning downward, obviously spur out of 9330
matching WBCQ SuperStition with World`s Last Chance at S9+30/40 --- no
more weak signal now! So at 0636 I hunt for a matching spur on the
~16+ kHz minus side of 9330, but do not find any around 9314; however
it`s clear that there is Super-splash down to 9310 or so. By 0638 the
upspur is about 9345.79. At 0642 there are traces of algo around 9313
in LSB without carrier but evasive, can never lock onto it. So the SS
needs a bit of work to get rid of this stuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9939.991, March 22 at 2248, S9+15 of rock into UTwente as
WTWW-2? Is again active up here. ``9940`` registered for 40 degree
antenna, good for Europe unlike the others except even rarer 15810. No
9940 at 2334 check March 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
