** CUBA. 15230, March 4 at 2313, Chinese music! S9/+10 with good
modulation, found here after missing from 13650 at 2312, so on WRONG
frequency, this CRI `Portuguese` relay which reliably for years has
been nothing but - the same? - fill music day after day. Certainly not
// 11760 RHC Spanish which at 2305 was crackly and squealy.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. Recheck at 0121 March 5: 15230 is off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.953, March 4 at 1846, extremely distorted
talk and music with whine, S9+15/35 into UTwente, no doubt R. Cairo
during Turkish at 17-19 UT. As first reported at 1745 by Dr Hansjoerg
Biener, then by several others in the WOR iogroup. Had been totally
off air for several days supposedly fixing things, but back now as
awful as ever. Mod stops abruptly and carrier off a few sex later at
1900*. I quickly retune UTw to next sked frequency, 9410 for 19-20 German,
but no show in a few minutes. I break for lunch. Recheck *1930 open
carrier on 9410.000, something else? 1933* off again uncovering some
strange noises nearby. Instead of 9410, this hour ending on 9889.954
at 1857, same strength and horrible distortion as 9900 had. 9890 at
2000 timesignal and off uncovering KSDA in Korean. 2002 now Cairo is
back on 9900, distorted and splattering down to 9890, in presumed
French. Also with tones as if audio mixing from some utility service. ``9900`` also sked for 2000-2115 French, 2345-0200 Arabic and Spanish;
will 9440 English 2115-2245 also be back like this? No, nothing there
at 2156, but 9900.004 is still on with open carrier S9+5/15 and
beepery. I think emissions after 2245 have been gone for a longtime.
Instead of something like Portuguese filling the 2245-2345 hour,
that`s always been sked obviously via another transmitter, at
2215-2330, on 9885. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 15409.981 AM, March 4 at 1652, via Missouri remote,
Station YHWH is S5/S7, JBA undermodulated with the intonations of
Josiah Elias occasionally recognizable; tnx to tip from Rick Barton,
AZ, who had him at 1630. I had not noticed him in routine bandscan
direct a few minutes earlier. 1710 QRM from Spanish 2-way on
15413-USB, see unID. Still trace of YHWH carrier by 1730 but no audio
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Monday March 4 at 2300, VG direct, token English from
SNR, only Amy Egan in studio today, previewing feature about Arts Week
6-10 March. 2302 news starting with cold wave, snow expected, fires
killing apartment people in Valencia, unemployment rate falling. 2309
ID and interview, a separate `Hybrid Arts Week` March 7-10 taking
place informally in a hotel, has been going since *2016y (Glenn
Hauser, OOK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Sun Mar 3 at 2300, NO signal from VOT into
UTwente and no XJRTV either which doesn`t come on until circa 2311.
Instead, VOT English is still stuck on 9610.008, which was supposed to
stop by 2230 after the previous English hour. Something`s always
erroneous at Emiler, zzzz. 9610+ is VG S9+25 into UTwente, and can`t
hear CNR understation in Mongolian this time. Same hour I`m listening
to the final FTIOM on WBCQ, so checking this from time to time or
juggling them both. 2320 plug TRTWorld.com for world news in 41
languages. 2325, `Letterbox` is just starting with contact info. Presenter
appears to be reading all the `letters` cold, so he stumbles around
about pronunciations, and picking out some of their comments. A little
more preparation would be professional but he certainly comes across
as casual. Most are requesting QSLs, and many send or enclose
postcards which he describes, from: Italy, Japan, China, Allen Dean in
England, China, Australia. Nothing from USA or Hemisphere West; I
don`t think I missed any. Time`s up by 2346 so a loving goodbye,
music, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music, 2354
``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2355 late s/off for the 13635 at 1330
only, and IS. 2356 German IDs interspersed. 0000 March 4 timesignal,
s/on extraneous German and usual program with same music liners as in
English, still going at 0038. Off by next check 0053, uncovering the
much weaker but more accurate ChiCom on 9610.001. The wrong frequency
for German is supposed to be 5960, not 9610! SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, March 4 at 2259 I can tell VOT is on,
but no match for the noise level direct. From 2324, S9+40/45 into
UTwente where measured: 2324.5 ending 2-minute multilingual ID filler
reel, into `The Energy Agenda`, Turkey is #5 in geothermal. 2329
``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2330 `That`s Why` with the badax,
something about indispensable Internet, libraries unneeded. 2335
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2342 multilingual ID filler reel,
again! and songs. 2350 s/off, the one with all times wrong in local
but called UTC. 2351 IS until chop at 2356* just before switch to
German, uncovering XJRTV in Chinese, EAST TURKISTAN, land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems: which
does not get Ottoman Turkey off the hook for genocide against
Armenians a century ago. Something`s always awry at Ankara (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 18162.06 AM, March 4 at 1612, long-winded ham about power
supply voltages. Was S9/+20 direct but fades down just as he IDs at a
1619 cambio. Don`t recall ever hearing a phoneham on AM instead of USB
on this ``17`` mb. By 1651 sounds like same guy into Missouri SDR, but
reads 18162.117v, clear ID as W7YO as he is QRT. QRZ.com: W7YO USA

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday March 3 from 2100.5 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.997 kHz, S7/S9
but noisy into UTwente across Europe, lite CCI music, de extreme
lowpower UK? Also confirmed Sunday March 3 at 2258 the 2230 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.002, S9 into UTwente but noisy. Also confirmed UT Monday March 4 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
Louisiana SDR, totally obliterated first 14 seconds + 1 by ute noise
blaster, just like old times, some kind of protest against WRMI which
may recur every semihour, and also bits in between. But is of no
concern to WRMI. NOT confirmed UT Monday March 4 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93,
rather dead air into Maryland SDR, and also dead air on stream which
is running. In a few minutes I email Larry Will and the boardops,
Hello? But no immediate replies and no axion. Remains silent past
0430. By 0511 recheck, 6160 resumes TOMBS but stream is still
silent. Also confirmed Monday March 4 at 2057 the 2030 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.001, S9/+10 into UTwente; 2059 ID and `CQ Serenade`. Next: 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490v), Sun Mar 3 at 2300-2400, enjoyed `From the Isle of
Music`, finale on WBCQ. I`m glad it was on SW, but in reality, much
more convenient and better `reception` here via webcast, even tho any
originally stereo music still came thru as mono. Lots of short pieces
and announcements by Uncle Bill. Plans to resume in April via some
European SW transmitter, where he expects more support; and we could
still pick it up by remote. I assume same applies to his alternate
show, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`. I wonder what will be in this slot
from next week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15413 USB, March 4 at 1710, INTRUDERS, 2-way in Spanish,
QRMing YHWH on 15410. Still going at 1728, at least three stations
between cambios (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0330 UT March 5
