** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 9 at 1507-1509, no signals from
LRA36 into three Brazilian SDRs checked. Someone in Lancaster PA was
also listening to nothing this Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 13530, March 8 at 2320, JBA carrier with flutter vs CODAR;
13130 & 13020 likewise at 2321 & 2322, all traditional CNR1 jammer
frequencies against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13740, March 8 at 2318, RHC presents S9+25 of dead air with
hum, while 13680 is only S6/S7 but managing to modulate Spanish
suptortedly and hummingly. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 7110, March 9 at 0334, R. Ethiopia on AM, good
in presumed Amharic via UTwente; intermittent Slavic ham talk on
exactly 7110 LSB only, evitable if listening in USB. I am not hearing
a separate Ukraine-connected broadcaster as reported the day before by
Robin L Harwood, Tasmania: ``[SWL] unusual broadcast on 7110 kHz. There is a broadcaster on 7110
in a European language with a news/current affairs program. I know
Ethiopia has been there but the announcers are definitely not African.
Frequent mentions of Ukraine with male and female presenters. Signal?
was good at 0400 but is now dropping up and down in QSB. Music bridges
and professional presentation. Language sounds Romanian or Polish.
Anyone also hearing it? 0422 7110 UNID News/current Affairs. Frequent
mentions of Ukraine. Signal was S9 at 0402 but has dropped to S6.
Heard via Albertirsa, Hungary SDR.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13089 USB, March 8 at 2322, marine weather with geocoörds,
S9, overmodulated and distorted, i.e. NMN, Chesapeake VA. Equally
defective and // on 12788 USB, NMG, New Orleans LA. Anyham would be
ashamed to emit such signals, but not the USCG. Note to editors,
``umlauts`` on English words cannot be replaced by adding an e. They
signify separate syllabification, not vowel quality (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A. 7780, March 9 at 0200, WRMI with R. Svoboda in Russian,
instead of RAE in Portuguese, which continues on 5800 only, while the
two used to be //. Svoboda is a test as prompted by the crowdfunding
campaign. Seems to be all-talk and continues past 0230 for the rest of
the hour. 7780 on NE antenna makes it OK S9/+15 into UTwente, but no
signal at Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, remote which seems to be funxional,
not blocked or jammed, but maybe too far: east of Moscow about the
same distance as west of Moscow to the Belarus` border.
Yet it`s still too early before local sunrises in Ukraine and western
Russia. Shame on USAGM for being unwilling to employ any of its own SW
transmitters for these. John Jurasek advises, ``Here's an update just posted to the
Crowdfunding Page: "And, best news of the day; we have a first
mainstream media publicity about what we all have accomplished.
Congratulations to every one of you. This is your story: https://thehill.com/policy/technology/597411-grassroots-effort-uses-shortwave-radio-to-broadcast-voa-in-ukraine-russia
"`` Hill writer Rebecca Klar just doesn`t get it, both in headline and
body referring to VOA broadcasting on SW ``in`` Russia or Ukraine. The
point is, this is INTO from outside, as it has to be. Richard Langley reports: ``This is the latest update from the
campaign. Seems last night's broadcast was a test. "Thanks to WRMI, our one-hour test transmission in Russian (from Radio
Svoboda -- Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) is on the air right now on
7780 kHz. (A clip below of the first minute or so with the station ID
in English followed by the Russian programming as heard on the U.S.
East Coast). "We are already getting solid reception reports from as far away as
Poland so presumably it also being received in Russia, as well as the
surrounding countries where Russian is widely understood. "We hope to start the daily transmissions in Russian soon, in addition
to the VOA English program dedicated to Ukraine news which we began
airing Monday. "Thank you again everyone for your contributions.
Without you this would not be happening tonight!"
-- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2128 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday March 8 at
2330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 direct, no jamming audible, but seems
undermodulated. [Much later at 0723 March 9, 9955 is still strong
S9+10, but now pulse jamming against Alex Scourby Bibling on TOMBS.
Way to go!] As usual zzzz thru Wed March 9 at 1030 on WRMI 5850; anyone hear it?
Yes, Richard Lemke in Alberta: ``Dear Glenn: 5850, hearing World of
Radio #2128, and confirming it, 1029, 1030 (55433), March 9 2022``

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A. 15610, March 8 at 2315, WEWN boosted by sporadic E to
S9+15/35 vs default JBA at too-close-for-F2 one megameter distance,
strong enough to hear this transmitter still suffering from squeal. At
first also an echo but that was someone`s earphone bleeding thru on a
phone contact in discussion: too long a delay to be longpath.
Something`s always blimey at Birmingham (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9679 USB, March 9 at 0725, 2-way INTRUDERS, JBA in
Spanish? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1717 UT March 9
