** COLOMBIA. The ``it`` in my last report was of course:
La Voz de tu Conciencia = The Voice of Thy Conscience:

``6010, April 7 at 0700, JBA signal in Spanish? Yes, later April 7 at
2230, Rafael Rodríguez reported it reactivated after a long time with
preaching by Stendal, NA at 2300; and RR is the 100% e-QSL manager to
rafaelcoldx@yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2133)``

6010, April 8 at 0705, heard LVC again, better S8/S9 with song in
Spanish. No, nothing on 5910, its former sibling station, Alcaraván
Radio. Might that revive too from Puerto Lleras? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9778-9833, April 8 at 0613, approx. range of bleed from
wall-of-noise jamming against nothing on 9805, i.e. plus/minus 27/28
kHz, overkill. Always incompetent and unconcerned about collateral
damage, the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [and non]. 6030, April 8 at 1559.5, Artists for Peace
special event, live benefit concert from Königswusterhausen, via
AUSTRIA on this frequency, VG S9+35/40 into UTwente, much better than
// 9580 via Nauen. Opening with orchestra and chorus but not the
now-familiar Ukrainian national anthem. Huge variety of music and
performers, instruments, with lots of commentary mostly in German, but
occasional Ukrainian. One English heard at 1656 about power of music,
with frequencies. 1646 accordion. 1747 a Russian pianist with a
flutist. Publicity said there would be 31 performers from seven
nations. Could hardly fit all those into only two hours scheduled,
1600-1800. Both continue past 1800, but those tuned to 9580 find it
soon off. 6030 keeps on going as I listen via UTwente. 1832 YL in
Ukrainian; 1840 finally wrapping up in German, 1842 Ukrainian, 1842.7*
uncovering something else weakly on 6030. See

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Fri Apr 8 at 1659, S9+45 unGreek music with
heavy reverb, very exotic so presumably China already? No, must have
been ERT since this chops off at 1700 uncovering what is really a
China minority service on 9420.002, S9+30/40 into UTwente (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. (5910), we`ve lost track of the weekly Friday-only
clandestine at 1730-1800v of Channel 1 TV, which had been regular in
B21; but in A22, Romania has overtaken that slot, in Serbian. Did Ch 1
move to another frequency and/or time due to DST in Iran? Lots of luck
finding anything about radio, let alone SW, even if converted to
English, at https://ch1.cc/

I`m far too busy at 1730 April 8 to go on a random hunt for it by
tuning, but I do check the latest HFCC for any likely-looking
replacement from TAChkent site at 1730 on day 6: No fits. Then I
search on all the broadcasts starting at 1730 from all sites: no fits
either. So is the SW relay of this still going anywhere? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 918 kHz, Fri April 8 at 1915, Spanish PSA from OMS = WHO,
1916 `Counterspin` on IRRS via AM Italia, not only on MW 1323 kHz
Villa Estense, but reactivated on 918, which is much better with no
QRM into nearby Noale SDR, since Madrid 918 has gone dark. See also
USA [and non] WOR monitoring. Counterspin is chopped off only halfway
thru at 1930 for IRRS Milan ID and Feature Story News. Airing
fragments of programs is the most annoying thing about IRRS even when
not done to WOR.

1935 joins VOA News rather than `Flashpoint Ukraine` which follows VOA
news at 1930 on WRMI 15770. 1940, 918 into music; 1945 American PSA
for brushing teeth. 1946 starts `Shortwave Report` with Dan Roberts;
will it be halved as well? He starts with Sputnik Radio, then to be
NHK Radio Japan, Radio Habana Cuba --- seems Dan is still stuck on the
same old stations. Shortwave! indeed, Sputnik is not on SW, but
recorded from web probably like the others. Dan says he has now
completed 25 years of the `SW` Report. Starts NHK segment but has QRM
from Turkey`s `Feeling Supreme` theme! So maybe really from SW, or did
IRRS do that? 1958 anyway SWR chopped off by IRRS for more VOA News!
across hourtop; 2003 Feature Story News again. 2007 songs. Then
another talk program about pavilions, from UN? 2020 Spanish PSA about
COVID19/UNESCO/OMS, more songs until 2030 ID with PO Box address
otherwise discouraged, and WOR 2133.

Alfredo Cotroneo replies: ``Glen[n], There are and will be occasional,
unscheduled, tests on 918, but we are more interested in propagation
outside Italy into Central and Northern Europe, including the war
zones. 1323 is doing better than 918 for long time propagation. Good
news that the Spanish station in not interfering now on 918, but they
may come back, who knows? Alfredo `` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15785, Fri April 8 at 1508 in routine bandscan, I
discover anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH on new frequency, the
signature vocalizations of Josiah needing no explicit ID. No problem
from the 1 kW DRM in Germany allegedly 24h on 15780-15790 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15529.9, April 8 at 1509, JBA carrier off-frequency, not
taking time to measure it more precisely. HFCC at 1500-1600 has AWR in
Kxf language via Trincomalee. Kxf?? Aoki abbreviates it Kar. EiBi KA
which means Karen, as in the Myanmar minority; not scheduled as such
in WRTH 2022 for B-21 season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: 5985 WRMI-2 still
off the air at 0330 April 8, since NHK Spanish at 0400 quit after
March 31. I did not check after 0400 but the WRMI skedgrid now shows
R. Eslovaquia = Spanish from System B on WRMI-2 at 0400-0430. Yet the
System B program grid below, mainly about 9955 does not, only Prague
on 9955. The System D program schedule for the 0330-0400 segment on
``5985`` still appears with WOR and various other programs during the
week. Contradixion after contradixion.

Missed checking Friday April 8 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear WOR?

Confirmed Friday April 8 at 1815 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, but
even at nearby Noale SDR, under QRM from Romania in German. I also
check 918 kHz, and surprise2, it`s also on the air with WOR, and much
better with no QRM as R. Inter, Madrid has gone silent again. AFAIK
there has been no publicity from IRRS about 918 still in use. I had
not even sought it for several weeks, assuming it was gone once 1323
had replaced it. But without QRMadrid, 918 would be better to use than
1323. Also checked LW 207 kHz, with some music not // but presumably
not Iceland. See also ITALY!

Of course, WOR also on 7290 via Bulgaria from 1815 Friday VG into
UTwente, and also JBA on 14580 second harmonic vs RTTY on plus side.

Also confirmed Friday April 8 at 2030 UT on AM Italia, equally VG
S9+5/10 at Noale on both 918 & 1323. Next:

** U S A. 9950 & 9960, April 8 at 0616, JBA carriers, parasitic spurs
out of 9955 WRMI which is S9+20. Difficult to distinguish any audio on
9950 & 9960 with huge splash out of 9955 itself. And some poor 2-way
USB is trying to communicate about 9960.2. But there`s more:

9965, April 8 at 0618, a further spur with TOMBS audio JBA // 9955.
And a matching JBA carrier on 9945. Something`s odd at Okeechobee
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, April 8 at 1502, another English sermon about
``doing good`` from Voice of Martyrs, Korea, S7/S9 direct. Pastor Tim,
who is a WOR iog member, acknowledges as a test for Maldives, but site
is confidential. How about Reach Beyond Australia, Kununurra?:

PRO:
RBA has not replied to my inquiry.
They have 3 x 100 kW transmitters
Only one is on their public schedule after 1400

https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/wp-content/uploads/A22-Listener-Edition.pdf
Since this is a ``listener edition``, that implies there is another
internal edition with secret broadcasts not to be acknowledged
RBA already carries VOMK in Korean at another time
RBA has many broadcasts for S Asia before 1400 with suitable antennas
It`s a clear shot across the Indian Ocean, ideal distance
Puts a good signal into North America otherwise tho never beamed
thisaway

CON:
Checked the one RBA at 1520 April 8, to Myanmar on 11825, only JBA
carrier
Why would one VOMK broadcast on RBA be public and another secret?
RBA has not replied to my direct inquiry
There are still plenty of other possible sites. Everyone invited to
investigate with TDOA.

Why would this Korea-based ministry go after Maldivians? Sunni Islam
is the only allowed religion as explained in great detail here:

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/indian-ocean/mv-religion.htm
The partner station may be unwilling to risk offending their own
Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
