** CUBA. 11760, UT Sunday April 23 at 0653, RHC jazz music, presumed
English hour on wrong frequency, only one still on air on any band;
also undermodulated but S9. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, regular chex between 06 & 07 UT have not
detected even a JBA carrier lately from R. Kiribati. Last time was
April 10. Of course, summery storm noise levels are increasing, but
would like to reconfirm if really still on air, e.g. via Oahu remote.
Walt Salmaniw, BC, has been complaining of degraded trans-Pacific MW
conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK, April 23, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470.008, April 23 at 1754, checking for Dengê
Welat and Turkish jammer: only signal now in area below 17500 is here,
VG S9+35 into UTwente, soft song by YL; 1758 change to OM & chorus
with martial music. 1800 YL speaking. Now a trace of something under,
but which is which? Splatters out to plus/minus 20 kHz. At 1810, the
strong 17470 signal jumps to 17480 as the YL is still speaking, so now
it`s splattering on 17470.010 where the other one has been uncovered,
about the same offset but only S9+20 with chanting, music.

``To Glenn: Administration of Pridnestrovsky Radiotelecentr informed
me on April 13 that Dengê Welat did not use its facilities in short
waves because they were out of service due to the attacks suffered.
On the frequencies 17450, 17460, 17470, 17475 and 17480 khz
alternately record musical programming of Kurdish origin. Broadcasts
between 21 and 2130 UT. Frequently, frequency changes are made during
broadcasts. Using the Shazam app I was able to find out the name of
one of the recordings: "Jin Jiyan Azadi" by Jinma. The translation
corresponds in Kurdish to "Woman, Life and Freedom" used by the
Kurdish autonomy movement. Information sites such as "Short Wave
info", "Short Wave schedules" do not record these transmissions. Any
information you publish about it will be valued. 73s Carlos Kostzer,
Tucumán, Argentina``

Kai Ludwig replies on the WOR iog to my previous comment:

>>> Some conclude that the current site is Uzbekistan, but not sure
how firm that be. Glenn <<<

``When they abandoned Kostinbrod again a new transmission appeared for
which Ivo Ivanov stated, as always just in three letters, that it came
from Tashkent. As a matter of fact it was, at this point!, always
noticeably off-frequency and the change from day to night frequency
took rather long, so apparently some old equipment, and always the
same transmitter.

That characteristic frequency offset appears to be gone now. Thus I
would say that the matter needs to be assessed again.

Grigoriopol could be called the primary transmission facility for
Denge Welat and all its previous incarnations (apparently it was
always the same radio station from studios at Denderleeuw near
Brussels, just with alternating licences and thus names), but it was
by no means the only one. Other site usages over the years I'm aware
of were Issoudun, Bijeljina, Kostinbrod, Gavar and Samara. Only
Bijeljina and Samara can be ruled out now, simply because both
stations no longer exist. And it was rather the norm than the
exception that more than one station was involved in day-to-day
operations, like the previous Grigoriopol-Issoudun combination.

References to a certain database are in my opinion of limited use, it
meanwhile contains too much outdated data. I fear we're at serious
risk of getting lost in a self-reference loop niow. Kai`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7400, April 23 at 0644, S5/S7 music, presumed R.
Eastern Star, Russian ethnic pirate. Reports lately he has been
talking about communism, socialism, capitalism, but not clear what`s
his POV, political agenda (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, April 23 at 0655, no signal from WLCR on WBCQ.
Something wrong again? Maybe just a break for beam change, as I think
they have to cut carrier while rotating. Did not get back to recheck
after 0700, zzzz.

It is on air April 23 at 1556 in English, only S9 into Missouri SDR,
pretends to sign off but stays on air straight thru resuming
programming at 1600, no change in strength either. What do skeds
show?

HFCC A23: at 1600 change English from 250 kW at 300 degrees, to 500 at
57. 05-09 continuous in English, 250 kW at 270 degrees. Not matching:

last report was axually from April 20, not same date April 22 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Apr 22 at 2303, LRA36 poorly
audible talk, S4/S5 into Argentine SDR. Inaudible by 2348 recheck.
First reported today by: ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Friol,
NW of Spain: ANTARCTICA, 15476usb, LRA 36, checked at 2046, 22-04, on
air, comments about Antarctica, identification, email, Whatsapp
telephone number, the weather in Base Esperanza. 35433``. I did not
check Wednesday April 19 and saw no other reports of it; was it on
then? When will the new all-woman crewe take over? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EUROPE. 6330 CW, April 22 at 2310-2407+, Radio Pirana International
publicized it would ``beacon``. Inaudible direct, but good and steady
S7 into UTwente SDR; best on LSB to avoid STANAG? noise. Sends RPI
several times, and spells out RADIO PIRANA -- with a plain N rather
than Ñ or NH. Wonder where this pirate transmit from, and purpose of
this; real broadcasts impending?

At 1920 UT on the WOR iog: ``[WOR] RPI Beacon on 6330 kHz --- Dear
friends; We are now again on air on: 6330 kHz in CW with our Beacon
transmitter with about 8 watts into a half wave dipole from northern
Europe. We could hear a weak signal on an SDR in Australia just 20
minutes ago (18:45 UTC). The beacon transmitter will be on to at least
08.00 UTC tomorrow (23rd of April). And on again from 18.30 UTC
tomorrow Sunday until Monday 08.00 UTC. Sincerely Jorge R. García,

KVOH. Also absent UT Sun Apr 23 by 0004. Is it ever on anymore? UT
Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon at 00-05 was the sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, April 22 at 0449, WRNO still on extended schedule, VG
signal but distorted and not sure it`s English; Hindi? And still on at
0619 with gospel huxter in English. When does it sign off now? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, April 22 at 0700, I`m barely awake enough to
confirm that RV 3rd harmonic is now on, S9/S6 in Bislama talk; earlier
the usual VP signal on 7260 fundamental. Other reports today:

``7260, Radio Vanuatu, 0631-0658* UT. From 0631 to 0634, Intro and
exit with indigenous drums, for the segment of messages/announcements
in Bislama; this program is often heard at this time, but certainly is
NOT on every day!; pop songs.

11835 harmonic, *0659+ UT. Commercial announcement for "mobile stage"
available for events in Vanuatu; 0700-0715, news/sports in Bislama;
island music/songs; 0730, another "mobile stage" advert.; not as good
as recently heard due to heavy QRM (static). Ron Howard, Asilomar

** AUSTRALIA. 28262 CW, April 21 at 2304, beacon with long dash and
VK2RSY -- a Q code follows and a few more symbols, ending in AH. JBA
and needed repeated passes to copy this much. Not much else on 10m. It
happens that VK2RSY was recommended by VK4RST in his reply to me
earlier in April as one of the few other active VK beacons. But no
VK4RST audible on 28266 now. Listed thus at WI5V:
``28.2616 VK2RSY C SYDNEY, NSW, AUSTRALIA # 25W, 1/2 VERTICAL``
QRZ.com shows nothing except:

WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, April 21 at 0620, HK3QQ making another regular
appearance with keyboard letters in order. Listening closely again, I
notice that R and M are are skipped; maybe as before but I expected to
hear them? ``QWETYUIOX ASDFGHJKLÑ ZXCVBN``. Something else follows
after ID, BOGOTA COLOMBIA --- not yet copied but ends in 73 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 21 after 2200 I can barely tell that VOT is
not off the air today, direct; better later with more antenna but
still too much fading and selective distortion, S9/S7. Recheck at
2259, still on with IS and German ID, 2300 timesignal about 8 sex
later than WWV, and into German. Rerecheck at 2310 it`s off.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler, awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2187 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday April 21 at 1430-1459 on WRMI 9955, S8 fading to S4
direct, no jamming audible. Needs to be on higher band in daytime.
This transmission is the only WRMI one also webcast, and phonecast.
Wonder if I have any regular listeners via telephone? ``Listen to our
9955 kHz live stream via the telephone. Call +1-641-741-1762 anytime,
24/7.``

Also confirmed Friday April 21 at 2056 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1323 kHz, S9/+15 but noisy and medium SAH from understation
presumed Brighton. Stayed on after 2100 with news, presumably FSN, and
2105 ID starting VOA News relay. Next:

** U S A. (7490-), April 22 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`. For
once, Angela doesn`t ask whether her mike is on, and by golly, it`s
not. Only occasional comments from her are being picked up in the
background from Allan`s mike. Plugs their AM 780 and FM 94.7 stations
and their wonderful talk, country and rock programming. Mainly talking
about transmitters, including 5130 being down. Says they have six
transmitters and unspecified number of backups; (so why are only three
on air now, including the SuperStition?). 5130 is a 1955 Collins
FRT-22 which runs 8 ancient tubes, not being made any more; there are
rebuilders but also a shorage of usable duds which can be rebuilt.
Chides Timtron as a ``lazy lout`` who hasn`t gone to Monticello to fix
5130 which he could probably do in a semihour (he lives in central
Maine). And a couple more times during the hour. Only he and Allan
(still in Florida) know how to work on ancient transmitters. Trying to
hire two more engineers who know their stuff. For the SS also lost a
$ 245K Thalès tube which failed last month after running only 4 months!
Fortunately under warranty but delays in replacing. And it`s the
*second* one to fail like that. Made in France, must not be well
constructed. 0048 prompts Angela to utter datestamp and contact info -
still off-mike. Discussing saving AM car radios, contrary to Ford`s
plans. Claims explicitly that Democrats = communists = moonbats, who
are against AM radio because it`s mostly conservative talk. 0056 some
quick emails (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, April 21 at 0616, WRNO is still on with gospel huxter
in English, S9+10/20. It used to run overnight, partly in Hindi,
Chinese; maybe resuming that? Lately only 0100-0400, the last hour in
Hindi per EiBi. Always HFCC registered available all the way from 22
to 16 UT; and nothing else except USAGM Kuwait in Bod dialect of
Tibetan at 22-23 only, sparking jamming. Own website is useless, only
highlighting three preachers earlier in evening. Even more useless on
disgraced FB where the latest entry is a triyear old from April, 2020!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10105 USB, April 21 at 0625, 2-way in Spanish. In 30m
hamband, so are these hams in non-phone band, or intruders? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, April 20 at 0635, once again the strange
station sending keyboard letters slowly in sequence: ``QWERTYUIOX
ASDFGHJKLÑ ZXCVBNM`` and then much faster: ``VVV DE HK3QQ BOGOTA
COLOMBIA`` --- note the error? of X instead of P, like reversed dits
and dahs? And the Enye after L; maybe that`s where it lies on a
Spanish keyboard. QRZ.com:

** U S A. What about Radio Angela? 5130, still no WBCQ R Angela
signal from 0200 UT April 20. Yet, 6160 & 7490 are both carrying
military medley, SSB amid extended Hal Turner show.

R Angela must be of lowest priority - so the usual 5130 xmtr is
broken: why not let it be on one of the others temporarily? Other
nights would deprive dead Brother Hystairical of one frequency among
many.

And what about all the extra transmitters supposedly at Monticello?
Jeff White gave them one from WRMI. 3265 could be turned on at same
time as all the others, so why not use it now, preferably on 5130 or
higher instead?

``Bad tubes``, hard to find. R Angela & listeners may be in for a long
wait unless some alternative is used (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2187)

``Uncle Bill responds: At the moment I anticipate Radio Angela not
returning to the airwaves before May. There are actually two
components to the problem, parts and labor. The late Tom Barna was the
engineer in residence on the spot who might have been able to jury rig
something together, and he is missed more than ever right now. Timtron
and (at the moment) Allan are both some distance away.

The 5130 transmitter does legitimately need new tubes which are both
hard to find and expensive, hence our increasingly-frequent appeals
for financial support. But even with enough benefactors to buy "new"
tubes, the station does also need to hire another engineer as well and
has been actively recruiting. 7490 is full enough that throwing us
there isn't practical and the other frequencies aren't ideal options
just now either for other reasons. It would be nice on general
principles if listeners who miss us wrote the station to remind it
that we are missed when we are gone. --Uncle Bill [Tilford], Curator,
Radio Angela, WBCQ The Planet`` (April 21, WOR iog via Glenn Hauser;
