** BRAZIL. 4985, Sept 5 at 0631, music S5/S7, quite separable from RTTY QRM by LSB tuning, i.e. R. Brasil Central, Goiânia. Sounds the same on S1/S2 11815 but not trying to match // on second receiver, both too weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11850, Sept 5 at 0046, RHC Spanish, S9+25 but suptorted, flanked by 11840 parasitic spur too weak to hear any mod; and weaker 11860 vs jamming remnants. //11670 slightly better. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, Sept 5 at 0622, RHC English again on this ``Spanish-only`` channel overtime, S9+10 but distorted. Other English still on: 6165 VG S9+20/30; and 5040 instead of Spanish at 0632, S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 9590, Sept 5 at 0051, S8/9+5 with flutter, soft YL song in Spanish, what`s this? CGTN Radio = CRI Spanish service for 4 hours at 23-03 via Kashgar, or as Aoki spells it, Kashi-Saiba; land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.994v, Sept 5 at 2200, no signal from R. Cairo English sesquihour at midpoint into Maryland SDR. Something`s always abysmal at Abis. Over to Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 5 at 0634, significant carrier no doubt from R. Kiribati, and nothing else on 9-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 5 at 0621, VON is on, at S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Sept 5 at 0044, S9 of undermodulated music relayed by local Enid CB pirate, // 97.7 so KHRK Hennessey is still the beneficiary probably without even knowing it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 7375, Sept 5 at 0037, RRI English with Cuban pulse jamming. It is extremely irresponsible to schedule your own broadcast on any frequency ever, at some other hour, or at some other season, occupied by Radio Martí, for it is then subject to collateral damage from irresponsible Cuban jamming, even if the HFCC registrations imply it be clear!!! RRI also on // 9550 but weaker; and that has some INTRUDING 2-way on 9550.5 USB. EiBi shows RRI at 00-01 on 7375 only, not caught up with reactivation of the other Tsiganeshti, while Aoki shows both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday September 5 at 2200 REE token English achieves all four frequencies into Maryland SDR. This one is S9/+15; 11940 S7/S9, 15520 S5/S7, 11670 S3/S5, as apropos target-wise. The only other 16m signal on the H2Ofall is a weak 17600, obviously Algeria. Justin Coe says this show will intro the new third person in the English sexion, Hélena Rigobert [sp? sounds like but never spelt out]. She gets to do her first broadcast as the sports bit at 2204 ending the news. 2205.6 music and feature: Justin says EE has been a twofer since 6/21 when Alison Hughes retired [I think Amy Egan must have started about then, or a bit earlier?] H.R. is a Catalan from Barcelona. Some music breaks for one of her favorites, a boogie-woogie pianist. They discuss Madrid, cable cars, etc. 2214, ``Mishu`` is a Korean name for any cat and it`s mixed up with the U State of Missouri [or Mizzou?]. Korean? O, part of her background is having spent time in P/Busan, Korea South at an English-language radio station for expats and Koreans learning English, BeFM, befm.or.kr [WTFK? 90.5 & 103.3: https://befm.or.kr/main.php?lang=eng - bilingual homepage]. She did not perfect her Korean, but after she went back to Spain, still filed live reports for their morning show causing her to stay up till 3 am. 2219 tune `The Balearic Shuffle` - she has been to four of the islands, Justin to only two. Short flight from Barcelona; several hours by ferry if you take your car and stay overnight. Then she was working for Radio 4, the mostly-Catalan network. 2225 a final tune, `Apocalypse Boogie`. It was never explained how and why she speaks English - well, with a slight accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9870, Sept 5 at 0057, VOT IS interspersed with Spanish IDs carefully pronounced ``Esta es la Voz de Türkiye``, no longer allowed to call it Turquía, S6/S8; sked 01-02 also on 7260 unchecked i.e. INTRUDING in the W Hemisphere target exclusive hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 5 at 2200, no signal from VOT into Maryland rather than English ``to`` N America; something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Over to Noblejas --- but 2230 recheck, now VOT is on having started late, S9/+10 and .002 kHz plus, soon intro apparent new feature, `New Day, New [illegible]`, about climate change. Rechecked at 2324, oh2, it`s still on +.003 kHz with extraneous German program, familiar theme of `Feeling Supreme` but I can`t make out the title auf Deutsch; Türkiyeisch accent doesn`t help. Until the outro at 2332: `Gesund-Leben`, equivalent to the subtitle auf Englisch. 2335, `Wussten Sie das?` = `DYKT?`. Immer etwas irrtümlich zu Emirler. I wonder if dozens of languages present the same program segments in translations? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), UR1 via WRMI circa 0500 following day, `Ukraine: Security Issue` as copied later via: http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_02_09_22.mp3 for Sept 2, Day 191, including: R trying to prevent IAEA from determining state of nuke plant; not allowed into crisis center; workers not allowed to talk to mission. 2-hour visit only, but 5 stayed on. Journalists supposed to accompany, but not allowed in. Lithuania says Zap. plant poses threat to countries beyond. R will not de-militarize plant. No day goes by without civilian casualties. Donbas extremely tense, but R not take control of entire Donetsk, U holds 50%. R moved deadline to Sept 15. U continues counter-offensive in south. R lost more than 900 elite military during war per BBC. Almost 49K Rs killed. R forming new forces for winter offensive. http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_03_09_22.mp3 for Sept 3 [said 4?], Day 192, including: Strategic turning point still far away. Enemy still has large margin of strength. U army receiving American aircraft. $ 100 million allocated for training U pilots. Biden requested another $ 11 billion to support U. U continuing to destroy Russian logistix. R trying to build pontoon crossings where bridges have been destroyed. U offensives in Kherson region continue. Enemy`s weaknesses in logistix, management and command. Anti-aircraft missiles destroying R cruise missiles. More than 7K U civilians killed, more than 5K injured during war. More than 22K shellings of civilian infrastruxure. 76% of Russian civilians support U civ killings? Occupiers constantly shelling area of Zap NPP, blaming U for that. http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_04_09_22.mp3 for day 193, including: R has fired at least 3500 missiles into U; more than a dozen settlements in Donbas under fire. Most youth and families already left, elderly remain. They will be without water, electricity in autumn, winter, should evacuate. R occupiers banned humanitarian goods importation, medicine. None delivered to hospitals. Genocide of U people in temp occupied terrs continues. IAEA at Zap NPP. Turk pres conversation with Putin. To meet on Sept 15-16 at summit in Samarkhand, Uzbekistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2154 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday September 4 after 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S5/S8 but noisy into nearby Noale SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday September 5 at 0035 the 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+5 direct. Also confirmed UT Monday September 5 from 0302:19 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 minus 62/67 Hz = 6159.933 to .938, S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, with heavy ACI from 6165 Cuba even with LSB tuning, late after JL ran over.

Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 6160-, Sept 5 at 0102, something on Area 51 via WBCQ is quite buried by S9+45/50 splash from 6165 RHC as some American traitor asserts how much better Cuba is in numerous ways. More easterly, I think, WBCQ sometimes QRMs Cuba, as these two neighbors refuse to distance themselves for mutual benefit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5970, Sept 5 at 0101, RCM, WEWN is back on night frequency, S9+35 of Lord`s Prayer in Spanish - it seems the Lord never tires of `hearing` it; what an ego-booster! But 0624 recheck, 5970 off again; no longer all-night, or sporadic? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, Sept 5 at 0621 check, RV still off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 4940, Sept 5 at 0627, praise music in Spanish, S7/S9, the long-running 24 hour pirate carrying `Fuerza de Paz` missionary programming, which I rarely bother to log. Shortly after it appeared, we got a TDOA to the same area which Rafael Rodríguez, Colombia now reports, G.C. 7.20 north, 69.00 west, in SW Venezuela near the Colombian border: https://www.w4uvh.net/4940.jpg ``Greetings from Colombia, Thanks to the activation of a KiwiSDR in the town of Facatativa, very close to Bogotá; I can perform a radiolocation of the signal in 4940 kHz through the TDoA function that these receivers have. I do it through the kiwis located in Bonaire, Boavista and Facatativa. I attach the image with the result. Although this is not conclusive, it reaffirms my theory that the signal originates in Venezuela according to the image from Estado Apure. Rafael Rodriguez R., Bogotá D.C. - COLOMBIA`` WRTH 2022 places it under COLOMBIA as the only SW station left, in Arauca with 1 kW, but keyed as DC26) since RRR himself is QSL manager with a mailing address in the capital district. It seems to me its ambiguity, no callsign or known license to one country or another, qualifies it as a PIRATE (not Clandestine), but seldom acknowledged as such, e.g. not reported in Free Radio Weekly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0024 UT September 6 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
