WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE

Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Germany - Shortwave Gold/Radio: Added link to new page with
detailed programme schedule lineup. The next update is scheduled for
March. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe, Teddington UK. Feb 7

** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Feb 7 at 0735 UT, dash and YXL is JBA, ND
beacon at SiouX Lookout, Ontario. Glad to still detect it as my
best/only Canadian beacon; used to be easy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 990, Feb 7 at 0705 UT, CBC news ends, no local ID from CBW,
and into `The World` from PRX, i.e. from USA, Public Radio Exchange.

station should diffuse it, like WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH, running late again (Glenn Hauser,

** VANUATU. 9960, Feb 7 at 0651, R. Vanuatu reactivated, JBA. Retune
at 0659, slightly too late as already off, and JBA carrier instead on

``Hi Glenn - Have had more correspondence with Warren Robert,
explaining that RV has been silent since Feb 2 through to Feb 7,
at 0520 UT, while monitoring all their frequencies of 2485, 3945,
5040, 7260 and 9960 kHz. He must have then checked on this
situation, as he quickly replied to me, asking for me to now check
9960. Yes, success! Thanked him for getting back on the air. Radio
Vanuatu is now back on the air from 0602+ UT, Feb 7. Listening via
Kiwi SDR remote at Wanganui, NZ. Ron, Monterey, Calif`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15340, Feb 7 at 1612 open carrier with some hum,
flutter, S7/S9 direct and still at 1620. Into UTWente at 1637, JBA S5
carrier. EiBi & Aoki show nothing but CNR1 jammer and Sound of Hope,
but seems something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17435-17460 approx., Feb 7 at 1614, wideband
multi-carriers beating/whining, S6/S7 circa 17450, as often heard for
years, and similar in some other ranges, but what is it? No clues
around these frequencies in UDXF iog or Klingenfuß 2022 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

Ken,Yes, but what about the Chinese, who have had a relay deal with Cuba for longtime, not Russians. Glenn

Hi Glenn,
It's been some time since Russia left Cuba and I would think that the radio techs left with then. It's unlikely that Cuba now has the financial resources or technical knowhow to maintain their TXers. Hence it is unlikely that R Havana or Rebelde will be heard on a reliable basis, if at all.
Thanks for all the info you provide for us SWLs.

** U S A. 12050, Feb 6 at 1620, R. Católica Mundial, WEWN, reactivated
in Spanish with hymns, DJ announcements, S6/S8 direct. This was first
reported by Tony Pavick, Hope BC at 0040 UT Feb 6:

``Radio Católica Mundial is back on the air on 12050 kHz. In Spanish
of course. China ACI from 12045 & 12055. They appear to have left the
air sometime between 0045 and 0100 UT``

During my log it`s notable that neighbor WWCR 12160, at a similar
distance, is hugely stronger, inblasting S9+25/30. Nothing yet on
English frequency 15610, which I had heard with open carrier only, no
modulation. Spanish takes priority.

WEWN used to have some lower frequencies at night, but current HFCC
shows only:
12050 14-06 Spanish 155 degrees to CIRAF 11 & 15 with 100 kW;
15610 19-06 English  85 degrees to CIRAF 46 & 47 with 250 kW.

Strangely,  CIRAF 11 & 15 mean Caribbean/Central America, and SE
Brasil, but skipping the rest of S America. 46 & 47 mean W Africa and
central as far as Sudan, Cameroun.

Likely the real spans in each language will be less than possible.
Collisions resume: 12050 at 18-19, R Ndarason International for Chad
from Woofferton, and same 19-20 from Ascension; 12050 also with RFA
Tibetan via Kuwait at 22-23, plus CNR1 jamming of course. 15610
confronts CNR1 jamming and SOH after 2200, until 1600.

Into Bonaire at 1812, only fair Spanish on 12050, maybe trace of RNI
underneath. At 1927, Bonaire busy but SB do Campo, Brasil gets only
RNI Ascension. WEWN is still on, atop RNI into Maryland. No signal on
15610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2281)

** VANUATU. 5040, Feb 6 before 0700, no signal from R. Vanuatu as
supposedly scheduled now, into several Australian & NZ remotes
checked, nor on 3945, 7260, 9960. And of course no signals direct
either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2281)
This report dispatched at 0207 UT February 7
