** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, June 5 at 1420 & 1530 chex via Brasília
#2 SDR, no LRA36 signal for the second Saturday; but was still on air
Wednesday June 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. 3210-USB, Unique Radio: see USA [non] WORLD OF RADIO.
Unique was originally in Gunnedah NSW, and has been off the air for
most of a year while being relocated to Manilla NSW. U.R. had been
referred to as in ``northwest NSW`` but both these are really in NE
NSW. In fact they are only 51.5 km or 32 miles apart. They are about
halfway between Sydney and Melbourne, but further inland; on Google
map there is a nearby place called New Mexico! Settled by immigrants?

Ron Howard reports: ``Checking here in California for Unique on 3210,
only to hear strong DRM from 3205, from 1130+ UT, on June 5
(Saturday). Aoki database:

Roger in Germany reports to the WOR iog:

``"Manilla", is that the official new QTH?
A first TDoA measurement also points in this direction.

** UGANDA [non]. 15170, Sat June 5 at *1457-1529* strange new
clandestine for and about this country.

15170 via UTwente SDR, I`m on before *1457 when S9+20/25 open carrier
cuts on; I start recording just before 1459 when modulation cuts on,
amid English talk in progress with African accent, ``country belongs
to us``, all about Uganda. NO ID of any sort; 1503 goes into another
language presumably Luganda, but a few English words included; 1505
mixes them thoroughly; 1508 refers to ``another speech on this
channel``; 1511 ``thanks for listening``, a bit of music; and a
different speaker named Reshide Kasato (sounds like); 1518 cut to
lo-fi music, anthem? 1520 cut to non-African YL with PSA? about
volunteering; 1521 timecheck as ``1730! CET`` and other zones
including N America; Feature Story News headlines; 1522 nice
Mideastern-sounding songs until off at 1529* with no further
announcements. This has all been very rough and ad-hoc, especially the
Ugandan part, with mike-handling, background noises, poor editing,
etc.

I recorded the whole thing which you may hear here:
https://www.w4uvh.net/UgandaNon15170_20210605_1459.mp3

Background: Ivo Ivanov posted May 11:
``SECRETLAND Registered two new frequencies of NEXUS IRRS Shortwave in
HFCC probably for clandestine transmissions and probably via SPL

1800-1830 15170 SCB 100 kW / 079 deg EaAf English Tue/Wed from May 25
BUT in Secretbrod no antennas with azumuths 079/149 deg. For EaAf is
195 deg`` --- note the times, not now! Bulgarian local by mistake??

To add to the confusion, this from May 15:
``Ethiopia (non): Following up on Ivo Ivanóv`s updates on the IRRS
schedule, I can confirm the following:
210515 15170 1515 1505 [sic] BUL EGR - Union of Oromo Evangelical

1500-1530: 15170 Mo-Fr nothing listed on website, Sa Su EGR - Union of

Ivo again: ``ITALY(non) IRRS UNIDentified broadcast on 15170 kHz, May
23: 1500-1529 on 15170 unknown kW / unknown to EaAf Somali/English,
instead of Radio Danadalidababa in Afan Oromo on Sat May 15 and

22! Several times mentioned Uganda. Very good via SDR Heimiswil SUI

http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2021/05/nexis-iba-irrs-with-unidentified.html

Ivo Ivanov reports June 5: ``New clandestine in English and Somali on
15170 is via SPL Secretbrod Sat&Sun, instead of 15515 Radio
Waarangelati on Afan Oromo Sat only. Good here in Sofia, very good via
SDR in Switzerland. More and videos tomorrow`` No time mentioned but
posted at 1833, so I wonder if referring to some other broadcast.

It`s about 800 miles from Bulgaria to Switzerland, a bit close for a
VG signal to skip. The broadcast I heard was all about Uganda, so I
seriously doubt it had any connexion to Ethiopia, or Somalia, or their
languages.

Amid it at 1516, I invoked TDOA DF on three KiwiSDRs, one of them as
far away as VK6 Australia. They concluded that the most likely
location for 15170 is 41E/41N, which is in the Black Sea just west of
Batumi --- but closest major SWBC relay site is: Gavar/Noratus
ARMENIA; where WRTH shows there are 3 x 100 kW and 3 x 1000! kW SW
transmitters. From the bigsig way offbeam to Holland I could easily
believe 300 if not 1000 kW.

The latest HFCC of June 4 shows:
``15170 1500 1530 38,47-48,52-53,57 MIL 300 149 0 286
12567 130521 311021 D 15000 Eng I ANT ANT 15012
15170 1500 1530 38,47-48,52-53,57 MIL 300 79 0 286
3 010621 311021 D 15000 Eng I ANT ANT 15013``

Numbers at head of second lines are days of week: 12567 =
SunMonThuFriSat; 3 = Tue, which just went into effect this week.

All those CIRAF are eastern zones of Africa from Libya to South
Africa. Of course, everyone knows the site is never really Milano. Nor
do the azimuths make sense; the correct direxion from Armenia to
Uganda would be roughly due south. Since the second azimuth is so
different, could Tuesday really be from another relay site?

I`ve asked IRRS for any info about this broadcast, i.e. its name,
target, contact info, but no reply. I know better than even to inquire
about transmitter site since for IRRS this is always confidential,
with the ``cover`` story of MIL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2089 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
June 5 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, poor to fair.

Also confirmed Sat June 5 at 1325 the new 1300 broadcast on Unique
Radio, NSW, 3210-USB; weak but audible, and no QRM, via remotes in
South Australia and Brisbane (the first publicized Sat time of 1500
was changed to 1300. The other two WOR airings are Fri & Sun at 1100).
See AUSTRALIA for more about this station.

Also confirmed Sat June 5 after 1600 on WRN webcast to N America.

Also confirmed Sat June 5 from 1800:38 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria via
UTwente SDR S9+20/30; also JBA on 14580 = 2 x 7290 at 1826 check;
where there is even worse `worble` on plus side. Earlier on 7290: 1754
only weak Chinese and warble on USB only; *1756 open carrier on but S7
not much stronger, some hum and China still audible; 1759:48 cut on
modulation JIP `Aida` as usual; very brief IRRS sign-on; pause and
then WOR which played to completion after 1829. Synch AM measured
frequency as 7289.998.60, the last two centi-Hz digits varying
slightly. No transmitter, or receiver can be any more stable.

Also confirmed Sat June 5 from 1940 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+15 to
KB0FX SDR nearby. Next:
