** BRAZIL. 9666v, Feb 25 at 0735, NO signal from RVM, normally always
there overnight as it drifts upward toward 9667. Must be off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9700, Feb 25 at 0733, S9+30 of dead air in English on RHC;
6060 also still on air, but S9+20/10 of DA except for some hum. Also
still on at 0743 is 5040 in Spanish, S9+20, too bad for Vanuatu.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 9525.005, Feb 25 at 0406, via UTwente, S9+5/15 of
martial choral music with few announcements. At first I expected Dengê
Welat as previously scheduled here, but conclude it must be the
Turkish jammer. It also has a slight squeal which is a defect of at
least one Emirler transmitter, tho certainly not the only such
station. Still going at 0424; past 0500 weakening some until cut off
at 0530*. 7350, Feb 25 at 0409, mostly talk in presumed Kurdish, really Dengê
Welat here now as scheduled 0330-0600 via Issoudun, FRANCE. Mentions
Ukraine and Russia. No jamming but ACI from 7355 Martí in Spanish,
even at UTwente. Meanwhile nothing on 9550, one of four new DW relays
via Bulgaria per Ivo, that one only at 1700-1900. EiBi shows DW and Turkish jammer on 9525 both at 1600-2100 only; while
Aoki shows 9525 jamming not until *0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.016, Feb 25 from 2301, VOT English is VG
S9+35 into UTwente. It`s Friday so I have to decide whether to listen
to this or Spainglés on 9690 - billboard there says feature will be
about ILO, which sounds pretty boring, onward to Ankara. Partial notes
for the hour: 2312 the COVID 19 PSA, with good advice but *still*
claiming that ``a vaccine is yet to be found``! At 2328 `Feeling
Supreme`, this episode about tachycardia, fortunately a word I can
recognize despite the heavily-accented YL. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler: transmission breaks off in the middle of it,
2329*-*2332 by when she is talking about remedies such as lavender,
cinnamon. May I suggest further reading about tachycardia first such
as what Mayo Clinic has to say. 2344 the outro for `Did You Know
That?` about whatever I will knever know. Then the 2-minute
multi-lingual ID loop filler; 2346 sign-off enumerating in rather
jumbled order the English times and frequencies; announcer obviously
not understanding what he is reading, e.g. ``in the 49 meter band and
on 6125...`` The ``and`` does not belong since that implies they are
separate things. Also still claims the 22-23 and 03-04 broadcasts are
recorded, i.e. the summer not winter timings. Something`s always awry
at Ankara. Another version admits that all the airings after 1330? are
repeats so don`t expect Breaking News. Then into IS loop but cuts off
air at 2352.7* before any German. Uncovering the CCCCCCI which had
been just an undercurrent from Xinjiang PBS, standard denunciation.
Thruout VOT there was breakup/crackling more than once a minute, not
clear whether problem at transmitter or UTwente receiver or in
between. Since it`s still happening to the ChiCom, we can now rule out
an Emirleric cause (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2127 monitoring: confirmed first
airings UT Friday February 25 at 0130 on WRMIs: UTwente maxed out at
750 users, unavailable, but 7780 S9+15 into Maryland SDR; 5850
S9+25/30 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed UT Fri Feb 25 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, S9+10/20 into Boa
Vista, Brasil SDR, S9 into Knoxville, both with jamming ACI from 5980
unless narrowed. NOT confirmed Fri Feb 26 at 1530 on WRMI 9955; gospel music instead at
1554 check direct. Without notice, but WOR still appears on the
program skedgrid, along with 5 other DX/Media programs at 1530 every
day except Sat TOMBS Sabbath. Are they gone too? This strip only
started circa December 10. NOT confirmed either Fri Feb 25 at 1915 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria. No
signal at all into Carlow, Eire SDR while UTwente is still maxed out.
This 19-20 UT transmission was missing already Feb 18, a 3rd Fri when
WOR would have been pre-empted anyway, a fluke? But Feb 25, we see
that 7290 has disappeared completely without notice from the
IRRS/NEXUS-IBA schedules -- at least the days that will load, not
including Thu, Sat, Sun. Are the other few IRRS SW segments gone too?
With nothing but MW 1323 still added to streaming daily at 18-22 UT
including the WOR times of Fri 1915, Fri 2130, and presumably Sun
2100; the only SW still exhibited is 15400 at 1600-1630 for Oromo
National Media. 1323 monitoring at nearby Noale SDR Fri Feb 25, S9+5/10: 1901, usual
Feature Story News in progress, 1905 UN News, 1908 music fill ---
generally atop German from Romania, but at 1910 AM Italia fades down
and Romania up; by 1915, AM Italia redominates with IRRS ``SW``! ID
and right into WOR 2127, confirmed. Also confirmed Fri Feb 25 at 2130
on 1323, S9+10 with little QRM after Scottish music and IRRS address.
Does not seem any stronger than before but this vague claim of
increased power for Ukraine, a notice Feb 25 from Ron Norton via Alan
Pennington, BDXC-UK: ``Hello There from NEXUS-IBA and IRRS in Milano, Italy! You have
undoubtedly heard the latest news about the Russian invasion of
Ukraine today. It has almost continuous coverage on Radio and TV in
Europe as of this morning, and it makes everyone worried about the
consequences for European stability. Just in case you hear from
someone interested in Russia and Ukraine in these difficult moments,
you should know that we have increased our power on 1323 kHz, and we
can reach these regions with a fantastic signal also on AM/Medium
Wave. We increased our special news coverage, adding repeats of the most
informative and inspirational programs in English from 7 PM to 11 PM
Central European Time to support displaced people and cover the latest
events. On AM/Medium Wave 1323 kHz, we broadcast daily from
19:00-23:00 CET...`` Well, I doubt it reach Ukraine very well as long
as Romania be in the way, but that closes earlier than 2100 UT. Next WORs:
