** ARGENTINA. 28480 USB, April 27 at 2306, mostly vacant 10m hamband
lets thru LU1JHD, Marc, making quick US contacts. Only other unID
signals sound Aussie on 28540 & 28460 USBs. QRZ.com:
``LU1JHD Argentina flag Argentina
MARCELO MARIANO ITZCOVICH (MARC)
BLAS PARERA 128 ( EL MARTILLO)
CONCORDIA, ER C.P.3200
Argentina``
ER stands for Entre Rios province, the one with J## calls, bordering
Uruguay to the east and immediately north of Bs As (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, April 28 at 0643, JBA carrier, no doubt R.
Kiribati, London, always the first and usually only 9-kHz TP carrier
this early since it`s so far east, roughly same longitude as Hawai`i
and thus well after LSS circa 0430 UT. Also this time of year, all TAs
should have faded out, well after LSR there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 28 at *1500, Voice of Martyrs Korea
via unknown site cuts on, S9+10/20 into Coimbatore India SDR while
Bengaluru is useless. Quick s/on announcement and starts English
preacher, but 1501 cut abruptly to presumed Dhivehi, one YL preacher
continuously, in the Maldivian local language, which VOMK has been
planning for weeks but so far all in English --- until yesterday when
I did not check, but Paul Walker, AK, says it was not English on April
27. Despite my earlier findings, he thinx it`s via Vatican which follows
immediately in Arabic at 1530. BUT, today via that remote the two
stations axually *overlap* as VOMKM is still signing off, the English
announcement not starting until 1530 for maybe a semi-minute, then VR
uncovered and much weaker S8/S9. As I also said before, it`s
inconceivable that the RCC`s VR would relay a Protestant service. I.e.
anything Christian that is not Catholic or Orthodox (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** NORFOLK ISLAND. 5045, April 28 at 0605, I find the Upper Hutt NZ
SDR already tuned by someone in Glen Innes NSW to 5044.98 AMN, so I
camp on it; noisy but getting S7/S8 music which I first expect to be
the co-channel Queensland station since Nick has criticized its rock
music. Brisbane SDR is not getting anything, but seems deaf on SW,
nothing on the waterfall and not even 5000 WWVH. At 0611, there is my ``Radio DX`` ID, pause and starts playback of WOR
2135 again as test audio. Hardly any interruptions until briefly at
0618. I`m then offline but check out 5045 direct: trace of a JBA
carrier, in heavy splash from 5040 Cuba. The Cuban JBA leapfrog on
5055 is stronger than 5045, and not the other Aussie. Meanwhile others are still monitoring 5045 via other remotes: Walt
Salmaniw, BC; Don Moman, AB; Ed Kusalik, AB; Matt Francis, NSW; Chris
Mackerell, NZ; Tim Gaynor, NSW of Unique Radio who suggests a move to
5060 as his station had to move from 5045 to 5035. And Bruce
Churchill, CA, says carrier off at 0738.5*, not reaching further than
Melbourne. To be a new SWBC radio country, NI is no doubt far enough away from
mainland Australia. Norfolk is not on the official NASWA country list
-- surely because until now there has been no SWBC from there.

I suppose they will eventually catch up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2135 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday April 27 from 2100:42, good via Maryland remote on 7490.089;
following Global Star satellite network ID after preceding `Financial
Survival`. Also confirmed UT Thursday April 28 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 S9+20/25;
9455 also S9+20/25 but less treble in the modulation, both into
Missouri SDR. Also confirmed UT Thursday April 28 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5010 S9+5 into
Knoxville SDR; 9395 S9+15/20 into Missouri SDR. BTW, 5010 hardly
making it to St Lucia or Boa Vista SDRs, yet closer to its azimuth. Richard Lemke, Alberta also reports on these: ``Dear Glenn:
9395, QRN, static, QSB fading,

Good listening, Richard`` New WOR 2136 should be ready early UT Friday April 29 for downloads
and first airings at 0130 on WRMIs 5850, 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7780, April 26 at 0054, NO signal from WRMI-13, still
missing at 0141. Supposed to start at 2300. Date correct, overlooked
for previous report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7890, April 28 at 0639, R. Vanuatu S3/S4 on 2 x 3945;
S9/S6 with flutter on 11835 = 3 x 3945 with island music (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1521 kHz, April 26 at 0607 UT, JBA het upon 1520 KOKC.
Nothing else on 9-kHz splits. Earlier was looking for Sa`udi Arabia,
reported reactive during Ramadan but not 24h. Of course at this very
late hour could not possibly be SA even with 2000 kW; so what? There
is a 5 kW in Spain, not too late for it? Or early TP? There is 1 kW in
NZ, 2 kW in NSW. Date correct: Overlooked in previous report (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1829 UT April 28
