Glenn Hauser logs September 4-5, 2022

Tuesday, September 06 2022


** BRAZIL. 4985, Sept 5 at 0631, music S5/S7, quite separable from
RTTY QRM by LSB tuning, i.e. R. Brasil Central, Goiânia. Sounds the
same on S1/S2 11815 but not trying to match // on second receiver,
both too weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Sept 5 at 0046, RHC Spanish, S9+25 but suptorted,
flanked by 11840 parasitic spur too weak to hear any mod; and weaker
11860 vs jamming remnants. //11670 slightly better. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Sept 5 at 0622, RHC English again on this
``Spanish-only`` channel overtime, S9+10 but distorted. Other English
still on: 6165 VG S9+20/30; and 5040 instead of Spanish at 0632,
S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9590, Sept 5 at 0051, S8/9+5 with flutter, soft YL
song in Spanish, what`s this? CGTN Radio = CRI Spanish service for 4
hours at 23-03 via Kashgar, or as Aoki spells it, Kashi-Saiba; land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994v, Sept 5 at 2200, no signal from R. Cairo English
sesquihour at midpoint into Maryland SDR. Something`s always abysmal
at Abis. Over to Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 5 at 0634, significant carrier no doubt
from R. Kiribati, and nothing else on 9-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 5 at 0621, VON is on, at S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Sept 5 at 0044, S9 of undermodulated music
relayed by local Enid CB pirate, // 97.7 so KHRK Hennessey is still
the beneficiary probably without even knowing it (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7375, Sept 5 at 0037, RRI English with Cuban
pulse jamming. It is extremely irresponsible to schedule your own
broadcast on any frequency ever, at some other hour, or at some other
season, occupied by Radio Martí, for it is then subject to collateral
damage from irresponsible Cuban jamming, even if the HFCC
registrations imply it be clear!!! RRI also on // 9550 but weaker; and
that has some INTRUDING 2-way on 9550.5 USB. EiBi shows RRI at 00-01
on 7375 only, not caught up with reactivation of the other
Tsiganeshti, while Aoki shows both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday September 5 at 2200 REE token English achieves
all four frequencies into Maryland SDR. This one is S9/+15; 11940
S7/S9, 15520 S5/S7, 11670 S3/S5, as apropos target-wise. The only
other 16m signal on the H2Ofall is a weak 17600, obviously Algeria.

Justin Coe says this show will intro the new third person in the
English sexion, Hélena Rigobert [sp? sounds like but never spelt out].
She gets to do her first broadcast as the sports bit at 2204 ending
the news. 2205.6 music and feature: Justin says EE has been a twofer
since 6/21 when Alison Hughes retired [I think Amy Egan must have
started about then, or a bit earlier?] H.R. is a Catalan from
Barcelona. Some music breaks for one of her favorites, a boogie-woogie
pianist. They discuss Madrid, cable cars, etc. 2214, ``Mishu`` is a
Korean name for any cat and it`s mixed up with the U State of Missouri
[or Mizzou?]. Korean? O, part of her background is having spent time
in P/Busan, Korea South at an English-language radio station for
expats and Koreans learning English, BeFM, befm.or.kr [WTFK? 90.5 &
103.3: https://befm.or.kr/main.php?lang=eng - bilingual homepage]. She
did not perfect her Korean, but after she went back to Spain, still
filed live reports for their morning show causing her to stay up till
3 am. 2219 tune `The Balearic Shuffle` - she has been to four of the
islands, Justin to only two. Short flight from Barcelona; several
hours by ferry if you take your car and stay overnight. Then she was
working for Radio 4, the mostly-Catalan network. 2225 a final tune,
`Apocalypse Boogie`. It was never explained how and why she speaks
English - well, with a slight accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9870, Sept 5 at 0057, VOT IS interspersed with Spanish IDs
carefully pronounced ``Esta es la Voz de Türkiye``, no longer allowed
to call it Turquía, S6/S8; sked 01-02 also on 7260 unchecked i.e.
INTRUDING in the W Hemisphere target exclusive hamband (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 5 at 2200, no signal from VOT into Maryland
rather than English ``to`` N America; something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. Over to Noblejas --- but 2230 recheck, now VOT is on having
started late, S9/+10 and .002 kHz plus, soon intro apparent new
feature, `New Day, New [illegible]`, about climate change.

Rechecked at 2324, oh2, it`s still on +.003 kHz with extraneous German
program, familiar theme of `Feeling Supreme` but I can`t make out the
title auf Deutsch; Türkiyeisch accent doesn`t help. Until the outro at
2332: `Gesund-Leben`, equivalent to the subtitle auf Englisch. 2335,
`Wussten Sie das?` = `DYKT?`. Immer etwas irrtümlich zu Emirler. I
wonder if dozens of languages present the same program segments in
translations? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), UR1 via WRMI circa 0500 following day,
`Ukraine: Security Issue` as copied later via:
http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_02_09_22.mp3
for Sept 2, Day 191, including: R trying to prevent IAEA from
determining state of nuke plant; not allowed into crisis center;
workers not allowed to talk to mission. 2-hour visit only, but 5
stayed on. Journalists supposed to accompany, but not allowed in.
Lithuania says Zap. plant poses threat to countries beyond. R will not
de-militarize plant. No day goes by without civilian casualties.
Donbas extremely tense, but R not take control of entire Donetsk, U
holds 50%. R moved deadline to Sept 15. U continues counter-offensive
in south. R lost more than 900 elite military during war per BBC.
Almost 49K Rs killed. R forming new forces for winter offensive.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_03_09_22.mp3
for Sept 3 [said 4?], Day 192, including: Strategic turning point
still far away. Enemy still has large margin of strength. U army
receiving American aircraft. $ 100 million allocated for training U
pilots. Biden requested another $ 11 billion to support U. U continuing
to destroy Russian logistix. R trying to build pontoon crossings where
bridges have been destroyed. U offensives in Kherson region continue.
Enemy`s weaknesses in logistix, management and command. Anti-aircraft
missiles destroying R cruise missiles. More than 7K U civilians
killed, more than 5K injured during war. More than 22K shellings of
civilian infrastruxure. 76% of Russian civilians support U civ
killings? Occupiers constantly shelling area of Zap NPP, blaming U for
that.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_04_09_22.mp3
for day 193, including: R has fired at least 3500 missiles into U;
more than a dozen settlements in Donbas under fire. Most youth and
families already left, elderly remain. They will be without water,
electricity in autumn, winter, should evacuate. R occupiers banned
humanitarian goods importation, medicine. None delivered to hospitals.
Genocide of U people in temp occupied terrs continues. IAEA at Zap
NPP. Turk pres conversation with Putin. To meet on Sept 15-16 at
summit in Samarkhand, Uzbekistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2154 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday September 4 after 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S5/S8
but noisy into nearby Noale SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 5 at 0035 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S9/+5 direct.

6160 minus 62/67 Hz = 6159.933 to .938, S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, with
heavy ACI from 6165 Cuba even with LSB tuning, late after JL ran over.

** U S A [and non]. 6160-, Sept 5 at 0102, something on Area 51 via
WBCQ is quite buried by S9+45/50 splash from 6165 RHC as some American
traitor asserts how much better Cuba is in numerous ways. More
easterly, I think, WBCQ sometimes QRMs Cuba, as these two neighbors
refuse to distance themselves for mutual benefit (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5970, Sept 5 at 0101, RCM, WEWN is back on night frequency,
S9+35 of Lord`s Prayer in Spanish - it seems the Lord never tires of
`hearing` it; what an ego-booster! But 0624 recheck, 5970 off again;
no longer all-night, or sporadic? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Sept 5 at 0621 check, RV still off (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Sept 5 at 0627, praise music in Spanish, S7/S9,
the long-running 24 hour pirate carrying `Fuerza de Paz` missionary
programming, which I rarely bother to log. Shortly after it appeared,
we got a TDOA to the same area which Rafael Rodríguez, Colombia now
reports, G.C. 7.20 north, 69.00 west, in SW Venezuela near the
Colombian border:
https://www.w4uvh.net/4940.jpg

``Greetings from Colombia, Thanks to the activation of a KiwiSDR in
the town of Facatativa, very close to Bogotá; I can perform a
radiolocation of the signal in 4940 kHz through the TDoA function that
these receivers have. I do it through the kiwis located in Bonaire,
Boavista and Facatativa. I attach the image with the result. Although
this is not conclusive, it reaffirms my theory that the signal
originates in Venezuela according to the image from Estado Apure.
Rafael Rodriguez R., Bogotá D.C. - COLOMBIA``

WRTH 2022 places it under COLOMBIA as the only SW station left, in
Arauca with 1 kW, but keyed as DC26) since RRR himself is QSL manager
with a mailing address in the capital district. It seems to me its
ambiguity, no callsign or known license to one country or another,
qualifies it as a PIRATE (not Clandestine), but seldom acknowledged as
such, e.g. not reported in Free Radio Weekly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
