** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed April 20 at 1346 and 1431 chex via
Brasil SDRs, no signal from LRA36, prolonging its absence all April so
far. I wanted to email them about this:

``Me gusta escuchar sus emisiones en 15476 los miércoles y/o sábados,
a través de receptores remotos en el Brasil; pero a pesar de
sintonizar dos veces per semana en abril, no se escucha nada después
de marzo. Favor de explicar qué pasa; si van a reanudar emisiones
pronto? Gracias, Guillermo Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oclajoma, EUA``

But all 3 email addresses in WRTH 2022 bounced. Does anyone have a
working address? Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, replies on the WOR iog:

Hi Glenn, please, have you tried this one?:
esperanzalra36@radionacional.gov.ar
but even if it doesn't bounce I think they don't answer. Last year's
whatsapp number is also inactive. I believe that until the programs of
the new season begin, they will not respond. Uff, perhaps they will
start when this season is over. Best 73,s``

OK, I try that one too --- mo bounce but no reply either by a few
hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Soy radioaficionado desde 1970, cuando tenía 15 años. Mi primera
señal distintiva era LU2MCX. Comencé con el final de la época de las
válvulas y la amplitud modulada (AM). Construí mi primer transmisor
con una válvula 807 en la salida (50W), modulada en placa con un
push-pull de 2 6L6. Estuve años en actividad, pero la vida y la
profesión me fueron alejando poco poco. Perdí mi licencia y estuve más
de 40 años QRT. En el año 2018, me entusiasmé con la idea de recuperar
mi licencia, lo que ocurrió a finales de de ese año. En la actualidad
estoy comunicando con la licencia original y tan entusiasmado como
cuando tenía 15 años.

Soy Ingeniero en electrónica y electricidad, fui docente durante 40
años y trabajé en obras eléctricas, tuve una fábrica de balanzas
electrónicas, diseñé sistemas con microcontroladores (controles de
apertura, dosificadores, alarmas, etc.). También incursioné en el
audio fabricando amplificadores, mezcladoras y cajas acústicas. Ahora
estoy alejado de las actividades lucrativas, pero NO de la profesión.
Aparte de la radio me gusta la lectura de ciencia ficción y en el año
2013 escribí el primer libro que acabo de editar.``

BTW: I learnt long ago but have not reconfirmed it lately, that unlike
other ham countries, the number in the call does not correspond to a
geographical region or call-area like in Canada, US. Rather it`s the
first letter after the number which denotes a distinct province or
area. There should be a map of this somewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.896V, April 20 at 0632, standout signal from RVM even
tho only S8/S9, with .br website and 3:32 timecheck, back to music,
which sounds more secular than sacred without understanding any lyrix.
Will it ever reach 9667.000? Some still log this as if on nominal
9665! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, April 20 at 2315-2335+, RHC with S9/S6 of dead air
except for traces of English modulation while the carrier crackles
cutting off and on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, April 20 at 2204, R. Cairo with extremely
distorted but recognizable English, very strong into UTwente.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 20 at 1514-1530, another exercise in
futility as I try another combination of 3 SDRs for TDOA on Voice of
Martyrs Korea. New Delhi is getting the best signal, S9+15/20 of usual
Protestant TV discussion in English, much better than into SDRs
Bengaluru, Kuwait. At 1520 I run Hanoi, Bandung, RSA or Swazi, which
conclude it`s most likely from 13N/109E = South Vietnam: yeah, sure.
1527 goes to music, 1529.5 just in time for sign-off ID and email;
then *1530 Vatican Arabic starts much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 20 at 2215, VOT S9+50 into UTwente, VG except
for squeal but it`s JBA. After news and Review of Turkiyeish Press;
2215 same old COVID PSA about washing hands, etc., ``vaccine yet to be
found``. 2216 `Feeling Supreme` `Health Life` - brain fog and cerebral
palsy and what to eat to avoid them. 2224 `Weekly Commentary` quoting
a foreign policy and security analyst whose name I cannot possibly
copy, about Tuerkiyeish strategy in context of Ukraine conflict, etc.
Closing the Bosporus Strait? 2252 recheck, still a whine but much
weaker S7 signal with no other modulation, same +3 Hz offset (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 20 at 0502.5-0509.5, Ukraine Radio 1 via
WRMI with English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue`. UU language at
0500 first lasts longer than usual, but don`t give up. YL announcer
this time who does the best job: Day 55 of the War. First about
Mariupol siege. Ends about the postage stamp with the soldier raising
finger-3 to the Russian warship, going viral, and at very high prices
on Ebay: no plans to print any more of them. I`m not attempting to
copy all details of each broadcast, as hugely covered also in
mainstream news, but it`s important to hear this daily summary from
Ukraine itself; if not now, then after 0000 UT on 1386 kHz via
Lithuania via UTwente. 7730 VG into Maryland SDR.

7700-7750 approx., April 20 at 0637 direct, after WRMI is off 7730, a
lite noise field over this span, jamming remnant? Nonesuch noted
during WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 15200 AM, April 20 at *1601-1701*, KTWR with new
Ukrainian broadcast, as TWR had to get in the act. Registered as N =
DRM but must have decided they really wanted an audience. Equally good
S9+20/30 signal into New Delhi and Khimki, Russia SDRs. No jamming or
OTH radar QRM as others have complained last day or two. I listen to
whole hour, which is mostly music with some brief announcements. Most
of the songs are non-English and to me not overtly gospel, presumably
in Ukrainian. No protracted gospel-huxtering. Seems TWR are trying to
provide a feel-good uplifting hour. At 1616 & 1628 & 1647 there are
praise songs in English; and at 1655 ``Holy3``. I wonder where this be
produced studioly: surely not Guam, or even Singapore HQ of TWR Asia:
but this is trans-Asian to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: ``From: Richard

** U S A. 4790, April 20 at 0400, creeping Angelism, now staying on a
dekaminute longer with some short features After Midnight, UT Tue-Fri
at least, so not affecting WOR on UT Sat at 0400. Starts with
Earthdate, 0402 Exploring Science. These are serious, but then 0404
something off-the-wall about cannabis seeds. Meanwhile the uteblapp
QRM continues, this time exactly 3:00 minutes apart at 0402, 0405,
0408; and maybe a separate one in between about 0406:40. 0409.5 WBCQ
sign-off to 0410*. Good into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, April 20 at 0642, JBA carrier on 2 x 3945 R.
Vanuatu; but 11835 = 3 x 3945 is S9/+10! with island music. Unseems
off-frequency but I measure it exactly: 11835.003 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
