WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULE updated Jan 6:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

** BRAZIL. 11749.651, Jan 6 at 0721, new frequency of R. Voz
Missionária, S6/S7 vs HNL with music, way off nominal 11750 just like
it has been below 9665 and 5940. 9665v is now OFF, so is it the same
transmitter and cannot be on both at once? Nor any trace of 5939- for
several weeks now. Wolfgang Bueschel also tracked the 25m channel
wobbling all over the place. Tnx to Célio Romais who first reported
the new frequency. It seems 11750 had been allocated to RVM many years
ago, but not even in WRTH 2005 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 6 at 0717, R. Rebelde music is S9+20 but still
suptorted. No RHC frequencies still on 5, 6 or 10 MHz. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, Jan 6 at 2234, no signal into UTwente from R.
Cairo in English nominally 2115-2245. Somethings always amiss at Abis
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Jan 6 at 0735, only 9/kHz split JBA carrier is
here, R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255, Jan 6 at 0733 check, no signal from VON (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW, Jan 6 at 0745, PN, 25 watt ND beacon at PoNca
City is reactivated. Was first noted off as of Jan 4.

350 MCW, Jan 6 at 0747, RG, 350 watt ND beacon at Will RoGers World
Airport, OKC is also reactivated. Was first noted missing Dec 23
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO-FM, new times for `Module` programs M-F are
being found by monitoring: Fri Jan 6 at 2101-2105 UT, `Engines of Our
Ingenuity` from KUHF, this one from 2005/2006y about how the leap
second came about - altho they seem to have stopped by now.

At 2200-2202 UT, `Composers Datebook`: this is the one with easy
access online: for half an hour per biweek, you can hear all past 14
episodes including weekends, along with the scripts and notice how the
announcer has edited them:
https://www.npr.org/podcasts/381443926/composer-s-datebook

And at 2300-2303, `A Day to Remember`, this one about the one wife of
Henry VIII who survived while Cromwell got the blame and beheading.
Yes, during KUCO local classical origination again, including
rush-hour traffic reports of no use outside The Metro (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 6 at 2300, token English from REE, feature
topix preview to be about Toys for Tots and Ronald McDonald at a
children`s hospital; and what to expect from music in Spain this year?
Between them asks for comments by whatsapp long number, or email. 2318
Amy Egan on the Spanish music scene in 2022, different genres
including rock, flamenco. Good S9+10/15 into Maryland remote. At 2322
check other frequencies into same remote: 11940 much weaker but
audible; 12030 JBA; 11685 inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005+, Jan 6 at *2259, VOT comes on
overlapping BBC OMAN; but after BBC is off, still a heavy rippling SAH
upon VOT, because it`s the one +5 Hz off-frequency vs the carrier from
PBS Xinjiang, East Turkistan, land of imperialist Chicom genocide
against Uyghurs and other Moslems, as yet itself unmodulated. VOT`s
news until 2309 music bit and `Review of the Tuerkiyish Press` only
until 2311 more music bit. 2312/2313 modulation starts from the
CCCCCCI making matters worse. 2320 Analysis of Russia vs Ukraine
during 2022. 2332 `Feeling Supreme` theme but too much QRM. 2334
switch to Maryland SDR no longer needed for Spain, gets rid of most of
QRM but much weaker noisy signal remains. Anyhow we are distracted by
going out for full view of a beautiful orange/pink sunset; 2343 more
music playing; 2346 `DYKT?` highest point in Turkey, Mt Ararat, 5137 m
and attempts to climb it; song. 2353 s/off with full but jumbled
English schedule. 2355 fragment of IS and off* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring. Checking the
website
https://www.uniqueradio.biz/
Jan 6 to update my DX Programs and WOR schedules, we find this
notice:

``* Unique SW Beacon 5035 kHz USB * The shortwave is on air but may
occasionally not be due to the owners work schedule. * Many programs
have been re-timed, please check the sched * Some streaming of Unique
Radio is mostly available from January 1 2023 with some New Year
extended times. *Jen continues to stream per her schedule.*``

The trouble is, AEST times are shown along with UT as 10 hours
earlier; but NSW should now be on DST of UT +11. Manager Tim Gaynor
explains to me that local times are correct in AEST of UT+10, not AEDT
of UT+11, since altho in NSW he is close to Queensland which stays on
UT+10 and he does not like DST; nor do I! Could anyones awake then
please confirm times by webcast and/or by remote receiver tuned to
5035 USB confirming it is on air?

Still unknown which frequencies are really in use by WRMI, Friday Jan
6 at 0830: 5010, 5850, 7780? In fact, none are now shown for WOR. Note
there is a new time for WOR as on sked below, Sat 2230 on three?
frequencies.

Not confirmed Friday Jan 6 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, off the air again,
but confirmed on webcast only. 9955 was still on air circa 1505 with
fill music and ID, but off by next check 1527, only JBA jamming
against nothing. Next:

** U S A. 6160-, Jan 6 at 2356, S7/S9 of dead air from WBCQ,
interrupted for a few seconds at 0000 for legal ID by Allan, back to
dead air past 0022 Jan 7, -64 Hz into Maryland SDR = 6159.936. What is
scheduled?
6160 Sa 0000 0100 UTC Fr 07:00PM 08:00PM EST Cruisin Radio with Arthur
Burton

While we`re at it, note the conflict at 0130-0200:
6160 Sa 0100 0200 UTC Fr 08:00PM 09:00PM EST Allan and Angela
Worldwide
6160 Sa 0130 0200 UTC Fr 08:30PM 09:00PM EST Your UFO Show
A neat trick, maybe independent sidebands. Ha. Note that the 6160 sked
never mentions TOMBS, tho Brother Scare is on there late into the
night and maybe elsewhen at hours otherwise unaccounted for. Meanwhile,
7490- & 9330- are nominal, 5130- & 3265+ off for now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 11835, Jan 6 at 0725, R. Vanuatu is S5/S8 with
music vs HNL. This signal is more like it! As MUF has improved since
last few nights following RV QSY to 3945 plus harmonix. Now RNZI is
also VG S9+10/20 with its songs on 13755. 7890 RV however is a JBA
carrier only.

Gary Pence sends some clips and says, ``Using AI6VN/KH6 rSDR,
01/06/2023, 0900z-0913z: 3945 kHz S7, S8; 7890 kHz, S8, some codar
QRM; 11835 kHz, S9+5db to 12db. YL speaking Bislama congratulating
students for the next year in 2023 in audio recording one. YL and OM
ID program in second recording. Best signal in Maui on 25 meters free
of QRM/QRN. Gary Pence, KM5X, TX`` --- I may include some of this on
next WOR 2173 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, Jan 6 at 0730, S5/S9 open carrier and no jamming;
0731 starts 1 kHz tone. Only thing in Aoki & EiBi & HFCC at this hour
is PBS Xizang, ChiCom-imperialist-occupied Tibet, at 0158-0957 and
this would be amid the so-called `Holy Tibet` English hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

NOTE: last report should have been subjected Jan 6, 2023, not 2022

This report despatched at 0042 UT January 7, 2023

** ALASKA [non]. 13760, Jan 6 at 0213, lively song, of praise? almost
like it`s looping; 0215 Today`s -something, evangelizing mentioning
bible, faith in god; 0218 US PO Box address. S9 and the SSOB, yea OSOB
on 22m. EiBi says this is African Pathways Radio, via MADAGASCAR, for
S Asia. That makes no sense! This is in plain American accents, no
African accents used by APR. But no S Asian accents either.

This has been a confusing situation for some time, perhaps World
Christian Broadcasting not without blame. Aoki, OTH, says it`s W.C.B,
no target. Neither gives azimuths, but HFCC shows 40 degrees for
CIRAFs 41 and 42S = S. Asia. That angle means we are close to off the
side from it thisaway, yet MWV has that huge transequatorial
propagational advantage. It must be blasting in the boresight. All
sources agree there is a second hour at exactly same parameters,
0300-0400; repeat of same daily content, or different?

For convenience via an Illinois remote at 0254 I recheck during the
wacko `Creation Moment`, then 0255 ``Your New Life Station`` with its
Friday program, hours and ``best`` frequencies. In the Pacific: 6075
at 08, 9680 at 10, 9580 & 9625 at 12, 6110 at 14. In India, 13760 at
02 & 03, says Rob Scobey of Your New Life Station - no mention of
Madagascar, nor of Alaska! For this is a.k.a. KNLS during those
Pacific emissions when it`s really Alaska [non non]. 0259 pause. 0300
English will start in one minute, meanwhile playing the familiar KNLS
IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 6 at 0219, RHC Spanish is S9+20 but suptorted ==
modulation suppressed and distorted. No signal on 11850 but a horrible
crackle circa 11852: see USA: WWCR. 9535 also RHC, S8/9+10 stronger
than usual but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

BTW, I perform a broad Google search of the Internet on that
catch-phrase I coined. It insists on searching first with a proper
apostrophe, resulting in 155 hits. When I insist on searching on the
way I spell it, with a ` grave accent instead, we get about 3000. Of
course most of these are bound to lead to my postings, altho some
others have taken it up; not including the slightest variations by me
or them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, UT Fri Jan 6 at 0236, RHC English as Lena
Valverde starts `Arts Roundup`. Equally good signal and mod on both
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 6 at 0238, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30 but
overmodulatedistorted; meanwhile there are NO signals on 4765, 5040,
10050 or 10080. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7410, Jan 6 at 0230, nice Romanian folk music at S9+20/30,
and // weaker 5990 RRI a few minutes later but with some unpleasant
yelling. I look it up in the latest edition of Alan Roe`s Music
Programmmes on Shortwave, RRI`s French hour, but Friday is the only
day of week with no entry at 0230-0245! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, UT Friday January 6 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S6/S8 but sufficiently
good into Maurice, Louisiana SDR. Still starts with 10+ seconds of
self inflicted overriding noise hitting at exactly same time I start
talking. First tried Missouri SDR but it`s still suffering audio
dropouts every few seconds. Next:

** U S A. 7505, Jan 6 at 0226, WRNO S9/+20 but JBM in English. Why
bother? Something`s messed up in Metairie. Do they know that back at
Fort Worth HQ? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.930, Jan 6 at 0227, WBCQ is back after more than a week
of downtime for repairs, while 7 frequency`s programming ran on 5130-
instead, but now that`s off again until 0300 R. Angela. Still
typically off-frequency-minus, sounds OK except for the content, Hal
Turner talking about pipelines (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5920-5947 approx., Jan 6 at 0234 horrible crackling noise
spanning this range and maybe to 5950 if it were not for WRMI
shouldering; obviously emanating from defective WWCR transmitter amid
on 5935 with dead Gene Scott at S9+40/50. This correlates with the
same crackling heard at 0220 I was about to blame on Cuba, centered
about 11852 at only S9+25, i.e. 2 x 5926. Something`s gnarly at
gNashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Jan 6 at 0237, the real WTWW, S9+20/30 with Scriptures
for America. Wondering what PPP meant, Kai Ludwig found this
disrespectful entry:
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Peter_J._Peters
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0519 UT January 6

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 5 at 0732, VON at S9/+10 but JBM (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Jan 5 at 0430 UT, K17JN-D Enid is OFF the air
again, just in time for me not to be able to see another episode in
3ABN`s series about Adventist World Radio. Will advise if and when
this upshow again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Thu Jan 5 at 1557, this WRMI is off, probably since
1500*, but maybe will stay another hour on Friday including 1530 WOR
like last week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Jan 5 at 1935 tune-in to dead air on WRMI but soon
starts `Flashpoint Ukraine` from VOA not otherwise on SW. But this
stops at 1947, then fill music for rest of hour; 2000 `SOS WRMI`
fundraiser post-Hurricane Ian, which occupies some or all `Viva Miami`
slots (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Jan 5 at 0733, JBA carrier and nothing on 7260, so
R. Vanuatu must continue on 3945 which harmonicizes, but nothing
audible on 11835 either; while NZ 13755 is S7/S8; all vs unusually
local high noise level - HNL. Meanwhile, no further reports of
Mongolia continuing on 7260 but China is there too, PBS Xinjiang
listed, and also CRI after 1100; RV may as well continue attaining
three other frequencies for the price of one, at least after 0700
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0100 UT January 6

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed Jan 4 at 1457-1539, never any
signal from LRA36 into Argentine remote. Perhaps in midsummer hiatus;
I may quit checking Wed & Sat. Maybe Manuel Méndez or someone can find
out their plans and/or monitor when already awake (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 9455, Jan 4 at 1636, dominant Chinese vs music
from an understation and making SAH of 264/minute = 4.4 Hz, probably
CNR1 jammer vs WRMI, not a good share with USAGM drawing the jam
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 10080, Jan 4 at 0725, RHC Spanish S3/S6 but nothing on proper
fundamental 5040 of mistuned transmitter. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Jan 4 at 0730, S9/+10 of dead air except for hum; 6165
S9/+10 DA and no hum. Should be final hour of English. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Jan 4 at 0732, JBA carrier the only 9/kHz split
detectable, surely R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 4 at 0722, VON S9/+10 but JBM (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 0735 UT, PN, 25-watt NDB at PoNca
City, is OFF. Had been confirmed reliably whenever checked day or
night since Oct 11 after a few days off. Had had longer absences
before but eventually resumed. As of Jan 4, RG, 350, OKC still OFF;
SW, 255 StillWater and EI, 341 EnId, still ON. No change at daytime
1553 check Jan 4 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 4 at 2305, token English Wednesday from REE at
S9+20/35 direct, yet steadier signal when at 2318 I switch to Maryland
SDR at S9/+20. Amy Egan with some interviews concerning the
``repopulation project``: it seems interior ``micro-towns`` are being
vacated by Spaniards urbanizing, so trying to encourage immigration
and refugees to restore them. First interviewee had moved into
Catalunya without speaking Castilian or Catalan. No competitipn from
absent English from Turkey today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 4 at 0025 into UTwente, VOT overtime in
German is still running, but off before Portuguese at 0100, which has
occurred in the past; 5960, Jan 4 at 2300, no signal direct in
English; and UTwente checked at 2319, no signal there either, only
Chinese from East Turkistan, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2171 monitoring: confirmed UT Wednesday
January 4 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, steady S9+22 VG into Missouri SDR.
Usual bit of extraneous music inserted between ID and WOR.

Also confirmed Wednesday January 4 at 2200 on WBCQ 5130 minus 17 Hz =
5129.983, S6/S8 into Maryland remote: still here instead of failed
7490 transmitter. Tuned in early, brief transmission break at 2157,
hope none further. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

usually the case altho last Friday it remained on past 1600 with WORLD

DX/Media programs stripped at 1530 might depend on that? (Glenn

** U S A. 1360, Jan 4 at 0529-0531 UT, nothing direct from WNJC,
Washington Twp, NJ. It was reported to be running DX tests every night
for 30 days at 0500, until permanently? closing down. My first try for
it. Then I bring up a remote near DC in Maryland: still nothing among
the jumble. But at 0538 & 0548 I do detect some Morse code in the
jumble via SDR in Fair Hill MD; 0550 a continuous tone. Always too
much QRM for definite ID, but did make out an N sometime, and a J.
After DE the next letter did not seem to be a W. It would have been
more helpful to send little but the ID slowly over and over. But
surely this could have been nothing else. For a while the major signal
on 1360 was an ad for truckers. In NRC AM Log, WNJC shown as Spanish,
5000/800 watts, and direxional slightly CCW from southward. This is in
southern NJ, and there is another NJ on 1360 to the north, in Newton.

This was the notification: ``ARC mv-eko items 27 Dec --- WNJC 1360 AM
DX Tests will be going dark in about 30 days. Until then I will be
playing a DX test at Midnight EST every night, for 1 hour. This is the
Black Coffee DX Test that Les Rayburn created. Sad moment but after 25
years of working on WNJC it may be coming to an end. If the stars
align, I may get it back on the air with-in a year otherwise enjoy
this last chance to hear WNJC 1360 AM from Washington Township NJ
(Duke Hamann, WNJC 1360 AM DX Tests FB group 23.12.2022)``

I had heard it during a previous test July 5, 2021. Detailed reports
about that and by others in:

** U S A. Still have not found out if or when `StarDate` now be on
KUCO schedule, but confirmed Jan 4 at 1804 UT, so then at least M-F on
KANU:

altho too insignificant to appear on own schedule. May also air circa
1900 UT on ex-WOR affiliate KUWR in Wyoming, not checked yet (Glenn

** VANUATU. 7260, Jan 4 at 0721, no signal from R. Vanuatu; but at
0723, JBA carrier on 7890 in HNL, nothing on 11835 and like last night
NZ 13755 is also JBA carrier, so RV must again be on 3945 + harmonix;
but what about Mongolia on 7260?

Confusingly confirmed thus: ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: Vanuatu
today, 04-01 on 7260, heard from 0550 to 0659*, in parallel with
11835. At 0659 closed on 7260 and only heard in 11835.`` Any time of
7260 being // 11835 does not make sense if they have only one
transmitter which has to be on 3945 to produce 11835 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
