** BRAZIL. 9664.411, April 15 at 0623, S9/+15 with good musical
modulation, R. Voz Missionária has been way off frequency again for
several nights, so I finally measure it direct. Gary Pence also
reports: ``9664.408 as of 0814z 4/15/23 rSDR Utah East Ant`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. Re how to hear `StarDate`, reply on
internetradio:
``StarDate airs weekdays 7:40 AM ET (1140 UT currently) on WRTI
Philadelphia. Don't know of other airings. A nice feature of WRTI is
their "WRTI Replay" feature that archives two weeks of the programming
produced by the station, so you don't
have to listen live.
On the web site, look for "Listen & Connect", then "WRTI Replay".
You'll want "Classical Weekdays with John T. K. Scherch". StarDate
airs at approximately 1 hour 32 minutes to 1 hour 33 minutes into the
webcast.

** JAPAN [non]. 9490, April 14 at 0347, ``Clang3, Went the Trolley``,
vintage song in English, whence in the world? It`s NHK in Japanese
relay via Issoudun, FRANCE for north Africa at 0300-0500, why so
early? Wonder if it`s // 6105 which is NHK via France to Central
America but with VG signal into NAm, refusing to speak English, but at
0200-0400. EiBi shows no overlap with RMI`s R. República, ending 9490
at 0300 UT Thu to Mon. But such adjacency is asking for trouble from
residual Cuban jamming altho none audible this time. [Date correct,
overlooked in previous report; when quoting this report elsewhere,
omit this as irrelevant] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 17450, April 15 at 1817 direct, talk underneath
the wideband whinecarrier; Dengê Welat must have jumped down even
lower than before; also one other signal below 17500, on 17460.
Confirmed via UTwente at 1821, 17450 with YLs conversing in presumed
Kurdish, VG S8/9+10; and Turkish music jammer on 17460, S9. Anyhow,
nothing of the whine audible at UTwente. Same situation at 1925. But
at 1930, 17450 jumps to 17470, now in music too, while 17460 remains.
Wolfgang Bueschel suggested they could be differentiated by amount of
offfrequenciness, but they were almost the same: 17450.008 and
17460.010.
``Easy task: D.W. mostly on exact x.000 kHz aligned, TUR TRT Emirler
mostly oddly 5, 9, or 11 Hertz distance on upper flank. Compare same
programm with website player check at
<http://www.denge-welat.org:8002/;stream.mp3>`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, April 14 at 2200 and later chex direct, NO signal
from VOT in English to us. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13564+ CW, April 14 at 2225, finally a HIFER beacon other
than K6FRC or PCO: FJB callsign over and over, JBA direct --- but
nothing like it on the LWCA roster, so I have to do a broad search for
it, leading to:
https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/s7x2b2/22_meter_beacons/
``[name deleted] • 1 yr. ago --- I found this looking for the info on
beacon FJB. Couldn't find it starting from the LWCA index page or
using the search engine; maybe I'm dumb.
https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/calllist.html
FJB (AA0RQ) is in Colorado. 13563.45 kHz 3.5 mW into a Dipole. Strong
signal, well above the noise at times but not moving the needle. Edit:
FJB is getting About 246 miles per milli-Watt today.``
So I look up AA0RQ on QRZ.com:
AA0RQ USA flag USA, WILLIAM A HENSEL, 28307 Grove St., Pine, CO 80470,
USA
! That`s the same guy who runs PCO and sent me an unsolicited QSL for
that. No mention whatsoever of FJB on his large QRZ.com page, just
PCO.
Many other reports of FJB here, from 2021 & 2022, including from AA0RQ
himself implying that it`s his; besides PCO. Former callsign was just
T.
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php?topic=87747.0
Note that I was hearing it on the plus, not minus side of 13564, but
did not try to pinpoint it. Is FJB the same rig as PCO, and why?
(Glenn Hauser, OOK, WOR)
** U S A. 13565 CW, April 14 at 2227, another HIFER beacon too close
to FJB: dash and RF sent several times in a row with hardly a pause.
JBA direct. Thought maybe I had heard it once before, but unfound in
my archive, but many reports by others. LWCA roster: ``13565.05~ RF
Winston-Salem NC EM96ve CW+DA7ID (h,r 2023/02)`` Usual occupant of
13565, K6FRC, not audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130, re my obs of no signal from R Angela, April 14 at
0343, Uncle Bill responds on the WOR iog:
``Hope to have 5130 back to normal tonight; it was a file issue so web
stream would not have helped. The first hour (Heart of Fiction, Plain
Old Doug, Line Break) will air next week, that chapter of Enciclopedia
Musical will air next month (Andrew Yoder's Hobby Broadcast Radio has
the time slot next week). Meanwhile, fans of Uruguayan music can enjoy
this weekend's UBMP, which is dedicated specifically to candombe
jazz rock fusion from Uruguay in the 70s``
Well, still no 5130 signal April 15 at 0027 into Virginia SDR besides
S7 noise level. Normally it`s on early to trimulcast AAAWWW as per
another twit today from AW. An update from Uncle Bill at 0057 April 15
to the WOR iog:
``Update: Turns out there is a transmitter issue with 5130 after all,
we don't expect to be on the air tonight on that frequency. 7490 and
6160 should be normal. --Bill Tilford`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (7490-), April 15 from 0000, `AAAWWW` on WBCQ webcast.
Before 5 minutes are up, AW insults President Biden as a ``puppet``
and a ``babbling idiot``; everyone else as ``moonbats`` --- `bye,
tuneout. Wonder if he ever explained what`s wrong with 5130 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
