Hauser
** BRAZIL. 9664.411, April 15 at 0623, S9/+15 with good musical
modulation, R. Voz Missionária has been way off frequency again for
several nights, so I finally measure it direct. Gary Pence also
reports: ``9664.408 as of 0814z 4/15/23 rSDR Utah East Ant`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. Re how to hear `StarDate`, reply on
internetradio:

``StarDate airs weekdays 7:40 AM ET (1140 UT currently) on WRTI
Philadelphia. Don't know of other airings. A nice feature of WRTI is
their "WRTI Replay" feature that archives two weeks of the programming
produced by the station, so you don't
have to listen live.

On the web site, look for "Listen & Connect", then "WRTI Replay".
You'll want "Classical Weekdays with John T. K. Scherch". StarDate
airs at approximately 1 hour 32 minutes to 1 hour 33 minutes into the
webcast.

https://www.wrti.org/classical-archive-classical-weekdays-with-john-t-k-scherch
Richard Cuff / Allentown, PA USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 9490, April 14 at 0347, ``Clang3, Went the Trolley``,
vintage song in English, whence in the world? It`s NHK in Japanese
relay via Issoudun, FRANCE for north Africa at 0300-0500, why so
early? Wonder if it`s // 6105 which is NHK via France to Central
America but with VG signal into NAm, refusing to speak English, but at
0200-0400. EiBi shows no overlap with RMI`s R. República, ending 9490
at 0300 UT Thu to Mon. But such adjacency is asking for trouble from
residual Cuban jamming altho none audible this time. [Date correct,
overlooked in previous report; when quoting this report elsewhere,
omit this as irrelevant] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17450, April 15 at 1817 direct, talk underneath
the wideband whinecarrier; Dengê Welat must have jumped down even
lower than before; also one other signal below 17500, on 17460.

Confirmed via UTwente at 1821, 17450 with YLs conversing in presumed
Kurdish, VG S8/9+10; and Turkish music jammer on 17460, S9. Anyhow,
nothing of the whine audible at UTwente. Same situation at 1925. But
at 1930, 17450 jumps to 17470, now in music too, while 17460 remains.
Wolfgang Bueschel suggested they could be differentiated by amount of
offfrequenciness, but they were almost the same: 17450.008 and
17460.010.

``Easy task: D.W. mostly on exact x.000 kHz aligned, TUR TRT Emirler
mostly oddly 5, 9, or 11 Hertz distance on upper flank. Compare same
programm with website player check at
<http://www.denge-welat.org:8002/;stream.mp3>`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 14 at 2200 and later chex direct, NO signal
from VOT in English to us. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13564+ CW, April 14 at 2225, finally a HIFER beacon other
than K6FRC or PCO: FJB callsign over and over, JBA direct --- but
nothing like it on the LWCA roster, so I have to do a broad search for
it, leading to:
https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/s7x2b2/22_meter_beacons/

``[name deleted] • 1 yr. ago --- I found this looking for the info on
beacon FJB. Couldn't find it starting from the LWCA index page or
using the search engine; maybe I'm dumb.
https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/calllist.html

FJB (AA0RQ) is in Colorado. 13563.45 kHz 3.5 mW into a Dipole. Strong
signal, well above the noise at times but not moving the needle. Edit:
FJB is getting About 246 miles per milli-Watt today.``

So I look up AA0RQ on QRZ.com:
AA0RQ USA flag USA, WILLIAM A HENSEL, 28307 Grove St., Pine, CO 80470,
USA

! That`s the same guy who runs PCO and sent me an unsolicited QSL for
that. No mention whatsoever of FJB on his large QRZ.com page, just
PCO.

Many other reports of FJB here, from 2021 & 2022, including from AA0RQ
himself implying that it`s his; besides PCO. Former callsign was just
T.
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php?topic=87747.0
Note that I was hearing it on the plus, not minus side of 13564, but
did not try to pinpoint it. Is FJB the same rig as PCO, and why?
(Glenn Hauser, OOK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565 CW, April 14 at 2227, another HIFER beacon too close
to FJB: dash and RF sent several times in a row with hardly a pause.
JBA direct. Thought maybe I had heard it once before, but unfound in
my archive, but many reports by others. LWCA roster: ``13565.05~ RF
Winston-Salem NC EM96ve CW+DA7ID (h,r 2023/02)`` Usual occupant of
13565, K6FRC, not audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2186 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 14 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/20 into
nearby Noale SDR.

Also confirmed UT Saturday April 15 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/30
direct, but still noisy tnx to storms just across the KS border.

NOT confirmed UT Saturday April 15 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130,
because it`s off the air, ``transmitter issue``, for how long? Was
already absent last night.

Confirmed Saturday April 15 at 1600 on WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday April 15 starting at 1957 the nominal 1930 on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9-15 with storm crashes from W MO, W KY, NE IL.

Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support
is appreciated; thanks this week to Kelley Sprout, Hughesville PA, for
a PMO to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA; also address for checks
on a US bank

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130, re my obs of no signal from R Angela, April 14 at
0343, Uncle Bill responds on the WOR iog:

``Hope to have 5130 back to normal tonight; it was a file issue so web
stream would not have helped. The first hour (Heart of Fiction, Plain
Old Doug, Line Break) will air next week, that chapter of Enciclopedia
Musical will air next month (Andrew Yoder's Hobby Broadcast Radio has
the time slot next week). Meanwhile, fans of Uruguayan music can enjoy
this weekend's UBMP, which is dedicated specifically to candombe
jazz rock fusion from Uruguay in the 70s``

Well, still no 5130 signal April 15 at 0027 into Virginia SDR besides
S7 noise level. Normally it`s on early to trimulcast AAAWWW as per
another twit today from AW. An update from Uncle Bill at 0057 April 15
to the WOR iog:

``Update: Turns out there is a transmitter issue with 5130 after all,
we don't expect to be on the air tonight on that frequency. 7490 and
6160 should be normal. --Bill Tilford`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490-), April 15 from 0000, `AAAWWW` on WBCQ webcast.
Before 5 minutes are up, AW insults President Biden as a ``puppet``
and a ``babbling idiot``; everyone else as ``moonbats`` --- `bye,
tuneout. Wonder if he ever explained what`s wrong with 5130 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2011 UT April 15

Hauser
** ALGERIA. 9455, April 14 at 0346, Qur`an, S9+15/25, and still no
sign of WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6754 USB, April 14 at 0336, S9+15, CHR, Trenton Military
with usual VOLMET, including lots of ``no report received`` from Italy
et al. Now giving own time checks only 4 minutes slow instead of 64,
e.g. ``0335Z`` at 0339. I suppose extra hour resulted from DST/non
confusion. The correxion first reported by Ricky Leong, Calgary at
0549 April 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, April 14 at 0350, RHC English ending `Arts Roundup`. It
seems Turkey is no longer here; and there`s a window in RRI usage
between 0300 and 0530. VG signal here but not measured; // 6000 hits
S9+50 with hum and undermod. And still 6165 is off. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW - April 13, 2023 - REPRESSION
The harsh reality of the children of Cuban political prisoners and
their hunger strikes in protest -- Dixán Gaínza Moré remains at
Camagüey, and Erisdel Benítez Moya's protest cost him solitary
confinement. DDC | Madrid
Yuneisy Santana and her son visit 11J political prisoner Samuel Pupo
Martínez. (Yuneisy Santana González/Facebook)[caption]

While the children of Cuban political prisoners suffer separation,
their parents are resorting to hunger strikes in protest. For some,
this costs them even harsher situations within the already serious
conditions entailed by incarceration...``
https://diariodecuba.com/derechos-humanos/1681327825_46441.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRELAND. 5505 USB, April 14 at 0625, ``Shannon VOLMET`` ID by YL
voice among numerical obs, S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17480, April 14 at 0330, S4/S7 with flutter, one
station with sad wailing song of ME music; lotsa weak sigs on 16m band
but this is biggest and the only one below 17500; probably Turkish
jammer, if not Dengê Welat, which per Eibi starts at 0330 via
Uzbekistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, April 14 at 0630, S7/9+10 of dead air again from
XEPPM, a shame (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, April 14 at 0335, S5/S8 of JBM Josiah on
Station YHWH, the anti-Christ pirate. Walt Salmaniw, Rick Barton and
others catch him almost every night at times varying around this
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 7275, April 14 at 0332, S8/9+20 as VOT English
fails to be on totally wrong frequency 11875 tonight; horrible
accentedess ending `Did You Know That` segment. Also // 6165 much
weaker, then ``every hour always with you`` VOT promo, NOT. Of course
they are required to pronounce it ``Tuerkiye``. [see also KURDISTAN]

That reminds me, just in the previous semihour via OETA Create channel
on KETA 13-3 from PBS, `Travels with Darley` was about Turkey. Must be
a new one, as she keeps pronouncing it Turkey-Ay, stress on the final
long-A. Happens to be sponsored by Go-Tuerkiye, in closing credit
correctly pronounced (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2186 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday April 14 at 1430-1459 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 with deep fades
into noise but no jamming audible.

Joe Hanlon says one Vatican frequency changed since HFCC English sked
I cited: ``VATICAN STATE: On April 1 I noted good signal on Vatican
Radio's English service to West Africa at 2022 UT on new 11870,
ex-11825, // to 9705. It's 20-2030 daily, both fqs are direct from SMG
site.`` Next WORs:

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130, UT Fri April 14 at 0343, NO signal from WBCQ Radio
Angela, so this is what was missed per sked:

``April 13 (April 14 world date to 11:50 EDT/0350 UTC)
Enciclopedia musical de las Américas (Language: Spanish/Español)
Guest Host: Bill Tilford (US)
Format: Music from around the Americas. This month will feature music
of Uruguay``

Unfortunately, by design there is no alternative, webcast backup, not
even archived?? Was the entire 02-04 UT emission lost? Other BCQs were
operational: 6160- & 7490- both with TOMBS, 9330 WLCR nonsense (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4876 USB, April 14 at 0621, 2-way including laughter in
unknown language, unseems Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9683.9, April 14 at 0349, S5/S7 open carrier, fading
implying it`s not a local birdie. What could it be? Nothing listed
exactly here, of course. On 9685 only CNR5, Cross-Strait Radio from
Beijing site to Taiwan, unlikely to be off-frequency. On 9680, nothing
but VOH Africa, Zambia from 0400, per EiBi and Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 13755, April 14 at 0608, JBA carrier. This may
explain why RNZP moved to 13840 which is inbooming; but nothing listed
now on 13755 in Aoki, EiBi or HFCC. Or could it be exciter from RNZ
other transmitter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1751 UT April 14

** CHINA. 13020, 13530, 15800, 15920, April 13 at 1454, Chinese talk
or music or JBA carriers, no doubt CNR1 jammers against Sound of Hope,
// when strong enough, 15800 best. Did not check thoroly for more
inband frequencies; and many probably quit by 1500. Inexperienced
monitors often assume they are hearing SOH, ignoring the * in Aoki
list which means jammed. EiBi list shows the jammers in separate
entries. SOH itself is usually on very weak transmitters, and often
slightly off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. StarDate, a daily 2-minute talk about
astronomy, airs on lots of stations, but not in every state. Most of
them webcast, of course. Own site provides a map, but each entry must
be confirmed by own websked or preferably by monitoring, as some of
them are outofdate.
https://stardate.org/radio/affiliates

Many of them at least twice a day, earlier in the mornings than
convenient for us, into the evenings. Many are M-F only tho show is
7dpw. All times shown are local of course. These are on our roster for
convenience, catching later if not sooner. Unfortunately on own
website cannot hear them without paying/subscribing. Often the
subjects are too elementary, but sometimes we learn something new to
us. Planets are always referred to as ``looking like a star``, duh.

All of these have been confirmed except last-chance KIPO. Most of
these stations feature much other great public radio programming, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460 & 17470, April 13 at 1500, no doubt Dengê
Welat and Recep`s Turkish jammer, but which is which. Both with bits
of talk and music, but on poor signals I can`t tell Kurdish from
Turkish. Now 17460 is stronger, so probably jammer, and 17470 DW
probably via Uzbekistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2186)

** U S A. 13565 CW, April 13 at 1455, HIFER beacon, K6FRC, Patterson
CA, is JBA, allegedly 1.8 milliwatts; but no others on the 13550-13570
ISM band despite higher powers listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2185 monitoring: ``9395 kHz, 0030,

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, April 12 around 2315, no signal from
LRA36 into Argentine, Uruguayan or Brazilian SDRs. It`s Wednesday, so
has been appearing regularly; maybe from 2100 already come and gone.
No one else has reported it. The new 2023 overwinter crewe should
activate soon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA [and non]. 5909.950 & close to 6010.00, April 12 at 0618,
the two reactivations are S9 with separate music: Alcaraván Radio and
La Voz de tu Conciencia. 5910 is clear while 6010 has a low het,
presumably R. Inconfidência, Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11850, April 12 at 0629, S7/S9 of dead air with flutter.
HFCC shows DW in Hausa via Issoudun daily at 0630-0700 -- but still
dead after 0630. Might have been RHC, where 11850 is nominally a tarde
frequency only, usually JBM, but no trace now of parasitic JBA spur
carriers on 11860 & 11840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, April 12 at 1530, S7/S9 with heavy flutter
talk direct. Only active frequency now below 17500. Could be both
Dengê Welat and Recep Turkish jammer, but can`t be sure there be two
signals now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. Re my report of Taupo on 6224 USB, Ron Howard replies:
``Hi Glenn, Regularly I listen to Taupo Maritime Radio on 6224 USB,
usually with fairly decent reception. Not only with marine conditions
and warnings, etc., but also ending with radio "propagation conditions
expected from . . . ."

** NIGERIA. 7255-, April 12 at 0635, dead air in Hausa from VON on
signature off-frequency, which hardly ever manages to modulate if on
air at all. Incredible incompetence, like several other SW stations
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Apr 12 at 2200, tokEnglish from SNR, VG direct.
After 5 minutes of news, 2205 feature seems to be Hélena interviewing
a sculptress from Lithuania now exhibiting in Madrid. Altho I`m all
for the Arts, REE overdoes it, maybe due to staff interest, or
``safe`` non-political subjects. As always, very lacking any visual
element. At end her name uttered once sounded like Munia ben-Jamada,
hardly Lithuanic and subjects were rather Arabic, so maybe two
separate topix as I dozed and napped unavoidably. Ken Zichi has been
monitoring and reporting these in much more detail, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11875, April 12 at 0353, VOT English on totally wrong
frequency signing off what should have been on 7275 from 0300, and off
at 0354.7*. VG into Maryland SDR. Yes, 11875 not 11785. Tnx to tip
from Ricky Leong, AB who had been hearing it since 0315. If it were
11785, I figured they would have failed to change frequency after the
previous English at 2200. It is still on 6165 with the usual warble,
no more RHC, but that`s for Asia, not us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 12 at 2158, VOT IS, so not off the air today,
usual slightly overmodulated distorted. But I opt to escuche
Spainstsead, q.v. Furthermore check circa 2315 to UTwente found no
extra German either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 5980, April 12 at 0234, two audios mixing but with
NO jamming! It`s WWCR 5890 leapfrogging over 5935. I took it to be
Brother Scare but sked shows this hour only UT Tue-Sat is E. C.
Fulcher instead. Residual Cuban jamming again audible at 0617 and
nothing else since 5890 is off weeknights. The jamming stix here since
5980 once upon a time was used by R. Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, April 12 at 0619, S9+30 of dead air. As happens not
infrequently latenight to WWCR-3 when TOMBS is supposed to be heard.
No loss! But demonstrates a management not really serious about its
job, or it would have a human constantly monitoring all 4 transmitters
24h; o, that could drive even gospel huxter sympathizers batty; how
about 5-second spot chex every 5 minutes? and/or some fail/safe setup
to restore. Do clients silenced get a rebate or make-good, or even
know what`s happening?? OTOH they could pay a little extra for the
bonus leapfrogs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re the KSEN 1150 MT DX test I heard April 10: SSTV image

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, April 12 at 0635, weak signal with presumed Bislama
talk from RV, still active here at least until 0659. Much more
successful than neighbor Nigeria 250 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0006 UT April 13
