** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday May 28 monitoring from 1450
via remotes in Argentina and Brazil, no signal from LRA36, until
*1510.5 abrupt cut on end of music and formal sign-on with the canned
multi-lingual ID including English that this will be in Spanish. It`s
about S5 into Buenos Aires. Also as Radio Nacional Arcángel San
Gabriel; Nacional, La Radio Pública. Names of personnel starting with
the boss whose name sounds masculine. Otherwise mostly feminine
voices. 1516 historical talk starting with something in 1810y. 1517.5
song. 1519.4 says it`s the fourth program of the 2022 season. 1522
contact info on various social nets, etc. 1523 song. 1527 efemérides
for 25 de mayo, which is the original date of this repeat = this day
in history, several years from 1812 onwards almost to the present.
1530 ID. Checking SDR users I see some others in London, Chicago. 1537
brief QRM burst during conversation; 1539 song. 1543 contact info
again. 1544 mentions FM 96.7. Today`s temp: 8 centigrade, which seems
awfully hot. 1547 a feature from the cocina = kitchen, interview with
a male, chef? 1556 I check Brasília remote where it`s only S2. Campo
has better S3/S5. 1558 2-way QRM again at BsAs, so I switch to Campo.
A lot of the music is guitarish. 1608 suddenly stops and nothing
further in next few minutes.

Meanwhile, Manuel Méndez, Spain reported: ``Hi Glenn, Yesterday Friday
I contacted with the station via Whatsapp, here my message:
"Buenas tardes, el miércoles 25 no salieron al aire, por favor,
podrían decirme si saldrán mañana sábado?" Y aquí la respuesta:

"Hola buenas noches. Si salió el programa el miércoles y mañana
también sale a las 1200-1300 horas." [= 15-16 UT] According to them,
the program was on the air the past Wednesday. Best 73,s Manuel
Méndez, Lugo, Spain`` --- and then today:

``Logs in Friol, NW of Spain, Tecsun S-8800 and PL-880, cable antenna,
8 meters. ANTARCTICA, 15476usb, LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San
Gabriel, Base Esperanza, 1521-1527, 28-05, female, comments, songs.
Extremely weak and strong fading, audible at times``

Well, on Wed May 25 I had monitored Brazilian & Argentine remotes
between 1430 and 1546, and there was never any sign of it. Previously
they have come on late like 1510, clock wrong? Nor was there any
propagation disturbance, as WWV reported:

``The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 25 May was 1.
No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours.``

One must wonder what the four-woman crew are doing besides one hour a
week of radio? More broadly, what is the entire Base accomplishing, in
scientific research? Programming is not about that, rather historical
stuff, much of it about Argentina rather than Antarctica. Or are they
there merely as a nationalistic outpost to bolster an unacceptable
claim to part of the International Continent? Calling it ``Antártida
Argentina`` does not make it so. Note: from next week/month when it`s
June, there is supposed to be another repeat Saturdays at 18 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, May 28 at 1903, NO signal of R. Svoboda into
UTwente from secret site, Armenia? Richard Langley says it was also
absent May 25-26 into same remote, not to Zacharias Liangas, Greece on
May 27; so is it gone for good? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2140 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday May 28 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/+15 into Maryland SDR.

NOT confirmed UT Sat May 28 at 0359.8 on WBCQ R. Angela, 5130v:
instead replaying last week`s 2139! I email the boardops asking if
they could quickly replace it with 2140; or if preferred, run them

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat May 28 at 0051 tuning in last few minutes of
`AAAWWW` on WBCQ webcast, when they usually get down to business; must
be new and live since mentions Memorial Day weekend. Angela is not
adjacent to Allan but on a lo-fi phone connexion which makes it even
easier for Allan to talk over her.

3265+: In e-mail, someone reports hearing this on 3265, so I quickly
check that on Maryland remote: yes, this long-inactive transmitter is
back on at S7/S9 but vs high summer storm noise level: it is beyond me
why AW runs this only in the summers when it would be much more useful
in winter nights; as if 180 degrees out of synch with propagation
norms. SAM reading on remote is 154 Hz above 3265, confirmed accurate
on WWV 10000. As usual runs past 0100, JIP Hal Turner. Recheck
3265.154 at 0127: it`s off. Is ``3265`` now on the Program Guide?
http://wbcq.com/schedule/ Of course, not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1915 UT May 28

** AUSTRIA. 9670, May 27 at *1600, via UTwente, faux timesignal, brief
announcement in Russian, then John with VORW in English, a special
broadcast via Channel 292 but not its own German site, rather 100 kW
from Moosbrunn eastward. Usual musings about what`s going on in his
life, and to take music requests, so is it live? Finally some music
from 1610. Cut off abruptly at 1659.5* but similar signal back on at
*1700 which in the low-res `292 sked is `Bobs 60s Splash`, oldies and
later DJ speaking. From 292 it`s totally unclear which site(s) be in
use at which hours. I knew about VORW coming, only indirectly from
SWLing Post via AER in Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, 6100, 6000, May 27 at 0615, these RHC English
frequencies are OFF; you never know what combination will last the
final hour. Now leaving only 6060, but unusable below horrible
self-inflicted humbuzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. May 27 at 0625+, I survey all the Cuban jamming frequencies
running now despite having no targets whatsoever. Mainly would be
Radio Martí, but that`s totally off SW overnight. The pulsing sounds
vary from one to another in pitch, rate and intensity. 11930, 11860,
11775, 9955, 9805, 9565, 7405, 7365, 7355, 7335, 6030, 5980, 5955.
Details: 11775 never an RM frequency: now would be jamming Dengê
Welat! 9955 below WRMI with TOMBS not even in Spanish and certainly
not exile programming. Heaviest wall-of-noise on 7335, 6030. 5980 vs
leapfrog mixing product of WWCR 5890 over 5935. 5955 over a decade ago
had Radio República, 5954 via Costa Rica: once jammed, always jammed!
The totally incompetent and extremely wasteful DentroCuban Jamming
Command. Think of all the nutritious meals which could have been
provided to undernourished Cubans for the wasted cost of all that
juice. Not that jamming is ever justified even when correctly timed
and targeted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13680 // 13740, May 27 at 2127, RHC Spanish on both; 13680 is
stronger S9 vs 13740 fading to S1-S4, but louder modulation on the
weaker one. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The latest May 24 update
of EiBi now shows 13680 but only at 1930-2100 for Europe; not at all
in Aoki as of same date (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, Friday May 27 at 2303 tune-in, a few SPY NUMBERS
before cut to RHC programming, voice-over Spanish translation of a
speech in English, a live Caribbean event? Toward end of speech, St
Kitts & Nevis mention so maybe its delegate/ambassador. Hearing next
from a Nicaraguan. This is not // mainstream RHC Spanish on 11760,
11670, 9710, 9535; while VP undermod 6000 may be //. This would be the
`Mesa Redonda` TV audio which is supposedly scheduled Mon-Thu only. No
13680 or 13740 on air now and only 19m, 15730 is in Kriyol. 11880 is
also not on air in English, nor 11850 Spanish and parasites. To boot
on very strong 11950, there is crossmodulation from some music
underneath. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15750, May 27 at 2125, routine bandscan encounters
the unmistakable tones of Josiah on Station YHWH, S1-S4. Previous
daytime 19m frequencies were 15785, 15100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, UT Friday May 27 at 0500-0506, UR1 via WRMI
with `Ukraine: Security Issue`, YL narrating Day 92 of war May 26, VG
as usual into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2140 monitoring: confirmed UT
Friday May 27 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 direct but only poor in
noise level. Same S reading into Maryland SDR but good.

Also confirmed Friday May 27 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct and no
jamming audible.

Also confirmed Friday May 27 at 1815.4 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria,
heard via NW Ireland SDR using LSB to avoid the USB ute warble; and AM
Italia where both 1323 and 918 kHz are on air but not 207, as heard
via nearby Noale SDR; slightly better on 918 S5-S7 than 1323 S4-S6.
Thus resuming after last week`s 3rd-Friday pre-emptions.

I tuned in earlier: at 1759, 7290 JBA in Chinese, 1800 timesig and CNR
theme; *1800.9 Kostinbrod cuts on, JIP Feature Story News as always in
progress, UN News; 1809 starting some DJ music show but only a
fragment until 1815 IRRS ID still plugging the Milano PO box which is
otherwise disallowed, and into WOR.

Jean-Michel Aubier, France also reports: ``World of Radio heard this
Friday at 1815 on 7290 1323 and 918 and also at 2030 on 1323 and 918
Nothing on 207 (via a web-receiver in northern Italy)``

I also confirm Fri May 27 at 2030.7 oo AM Italia 918 & 1323, not 207,
same reception as before. At 2029 tune-in a DJ was just welcoming us
to his country music show, and got only 3 notes played before chopped
off at 2030 for ID and then WOR. Next:

** U S A. 9455, May 27 at 2121, WRMI-5 is back on air after several

UNIDENTIFIED. 15610, May 27 at 1447, JBA carrier. Once upon a time,
this would have been owned by WEWNglish, but now all but one of its

it could be VOA in Kur language via Botswana until 1500; or CNR1
jamming and Sound of Hope until 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

6165 also still on weaker. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The other
side:

SHORTAGES Blackouts and No Food: A Miserable May for Cubans
Inhabitants of Mayarí, Holguín say that the last few weeks have been
the most trying since the 'situation' began.
OSMEL RAMÍREZ ÁLVAREZ | Mayarí --- A line to buy oil in Mayarí,
Holguín. O. Ramírez Álvarez (Diario de Cuba)

"This month is proving the most critical, the most difficult to keep
our heads above water. The rice from the store was short, there’s no
oil or sugar on the street and, unfortunately, we have no electricity,
with one blackout after another," said Yoandris, a health worker in
Mayarí, Holguín, who lives with his elderly parents and also has a son
to support.

"This is no way to live. I wish I had money to leave, even if it were
for Haiti, for my mind’s sake. Living in Cuba is torture," he
said...``

Radio Network promos without any ID, after `Focus on the Family`. No
doubt KBCV Hollister MO, 5/3 kW U4. Night pattern is NW/SE with null
toward Ciudad Acuña, but enough more clockwise thisaway from site
axually near Branson. Address in Springfield, but ``distant`` night
contour barely reaches there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0147 UT May 27

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, May 25 at 1430-1546, NO show of LRA36
this Wednesday; first checking via Bs As remote, from 1448 a few tones
like a birdcall repeating; at 1510 some unID 2-way QRM off-frequency.
I then check all three Argentine and three Brazilian SDRs which get
nothing from it. Better luck on Saturday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 290 MCW kHz, May 25 at 0621 UT, dash and QR, 100-watt ND
beacon at Regina, Sask., is JBA vs storm noise level, now from TX and
SE sextant of USA, not closer.

248 MCW kHz, May 25 at 0617 UT, dash and WG, 1000-watt NDB at
Winnipeg, Manitoba, the #1 Canadian to be audible if any (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 3330, May 25 at 0230, JBA carrier, perhaps not CHU, as no
signals on 7850 or 14670. Still not recovered from May 21 storm power
outage. If there were no axual damage, needs to be reset?? Apparently
a low priority at NRC; meanwhile, timeseeking Canux may have
permission to hear WWV. This uninformative notice appears on one
webpage but not the one about System Status:

``Due to the recent severe weather event in the Ottawa-Gatineau area,
the CHU time signal for shortwave radio has been impacted and is
currently unavailable. We are working to restore the service as
quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** CUBA. 6000, May 25 at 0225, RHC English is off, but attains 6165.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

[non]. 6060, at 0226 May 25, has two weak carriers with a beat. Altho
Aoki shows RHC from 0100, probably instead Zahedan, Iran in Arabic
until 0230; and if active, SRDA Curitiba, Brasil, seldom heard by
itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, May 25 at 0627, RHC is S9/+10 of huge humbuzz with
English JBA underneath; but 6100 is still on, S9+20/30 VG in English,
better than 6165, S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15730, May 25 at 2225, S7/S9 of dead air. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, May 25 at 0616 UT, SW, ND beacon at
StillWater, is BACK!! Checked almost every night, or day, there has
been nothing until now. SW was first not heard here on June 16, 2021
--- many subsequent chex found it still missing. The MARE Log Summary
as of 29 April shows SW was last logged 15 Sept 2021, but I never
heard it even then.

Classaxe.com shows last logged 2021-04-04, 50 watts with this note:
``u/s to 19Apr22 // Extended to May 30, 2022`` --- what means u/s??
dxinfocenter.com shows 25 watts, certainly weak enough for that.

Storm noise is slightly less tonight, from TX and SE sextant of USA,
not closer to OK. I also detect at 0618 UT May 25, tuned to 265 USB:
267 MCW kHz, HET, 25 watt ND beacon at HenryEtTa; unknown if irregular
but seldom audible (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, May 25 at 0500-0507, YP1 via WRMI immediately
starting English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue` (Glenn Hauser, oK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2139 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF. Antenna: random long wires in the trees.
Dear Glenn:

From WRMI Facebook page,
`Regular listeners may have noted that our frequency of 9455 kHz is
off the air. We have some transmission line problems, and our
engineers are working to get 9455 back on as soon as possible`

World of Radio, monitoring and confirming the latest for #2139,
Go, Oilers Go, WRMI:

9395, static noise, 0132, 0146, 0158 (45433), 0159, May 21 UT [Sat]
9395, S7 signal heard, 0052 (45443), 0059, May 24 UT [Mon]
5850, slight other QRN heard, 1029, 1043 (55433), 1100, May 25 [Wed]
(Lemke, Richard -AB) Good listening, Richard, May 25, 2022``

Confirmed Tuesday May 24 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9+5/10 into Bonaire
SDR, with rapid clicking, not the usual Cuban jamming roarsound; but
S9+30/35 into Knoxville SDR with no QRM, even tho off the back but
closer than Bonaire.

Clickjam grows after 2300 vs R. Libertad, and by 0045 May 25 has
become huge, sprawling 9950-9978, also blocking weaker 9975 KVOH as
monitored at Bonaire.

WOR 2139 also confirmed Tuesday May 24 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9/S4 but
noisy.

Also confirmed Wednesday May 25 from 2100:32.5 on WBCQ 7490v, S7/S9
into Maryland SDR, while at 2055 direct, only JBA carrier. (Before
2100 the speaker on `Financial Survival` was propagating Russian
propaganda that Ukrainians commit war crimes.) Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW

New WOR 2140 should be ready early UT Fri May 27 for first broadcasts
at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, May 25 at 0222, this WRMI is back on air with what
else? TOMBS, missing last night. Also 4975 parasitic spur (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, May 25 at 0228, WRNO is back on with gospel music,
missing for several nights; however, gone again at 0636 check rather
than all-night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re WEWN down to one frequency: ``[WOR] WEWN May 22 at 4:24
PM --- I dimly remember that Glenn or someone else here had contacts
to the Vandiver station or someone else responsible for the EWTN
shortwave operations?

It would not hurt to find out what's up there. Looks like English, the
hours for West Africa on 15610/9385 kHz left since 2018/2019, is
completely gone since mid-March, and I see the last mentions of 5970
kHz being heard in mid-April. I don't know if they did on 12050 kHz a
five minutes sign-on, like they do it now, already when it was just a
frequency change from 5970. But in the case of English I meanwhile
really suspect that it could this time be gone for good.

By the way, in last September the Pope made his opinion about EWTN
known...

Kai Ludwig``

Must read that NCR story! Quite a schism as the Mother Angelicans
consider themselves ``more Catholic than the Pope``.

So on May 22 I sent this to Glen Tapley, but there has been no reply:

``Hi Glen, We can`t help but notice that after English broadcasts
disappeared, Spanish is now left with only the daytime frequency
12050. Could you enlighten us on what the situation is? Is EWTN
deliberately withdrawing from radio/SW broadcasting, are more and more
transmitters non-funxional, or what? Thanks, Glenn Hauser``

```[WOR] WEWN. May 25 at 5:25 PM --- Don't remember if if this info
has been posted recently:

``Thank you for the email. Due to supply issues and lack of parts
available, we are presently unable to broadcast our English
programming. Once the parts arrive, we will perform the necessary
maintenance and resume our English transmissions. Say howdy to Glenn
for me (Glen Tapley, EWTN)`` Jean-Michel Aubier, France```

So how long ago was that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [non]. 11835.178V, May 25 at 0638, checking for R. Vanuatu
I find a JBA wobbly carrier, behaving like a local birdie, but which I
have not had before vs RV when it was on. No 7890 either (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 16-24 MHz, May 25 around 0100, viewing the Bonaire SDR
waterfall, which is set at very wideband, I see some JBV diagonal
lines starting about 16 MHz on up to fade around 21, 22 or max 24 MHz.
I assume these are from ionosonde somewhere, tracking the MUFs; and if
listening to one frequency between, might hear them cross. Probably
starting much below 16 but lost in the clutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
