** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 27 at 1437-1440, again this
Wednesday NO signals from LRA36 into four Brazilian SDRs, but most are
getting some fast clicking, OTH radar? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 284 MCW kHz, April 27 at 0702 UT, dash and QD, 500 watt NDB
at The Pas, Manitoba. I would much rather hear the others on 284, RT
at Rankin InleT NU, or YOC at Old Crow YT.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15970, 15920, 15800, April 27 at 0647, Chinese JBA, and
15760 S5/S9: all are CNR1 jammers against Sound of Hope per Aoki.

** CUBA. 6100, April 27 at 0653, RHC in wrong language Spanish but
chopped off air at 0654*; leaving only 6165 in English. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORFOLK ISLAND. Radio DX Test transmission --- Conversation UT
April 27 with Nick Hacko, VK9DX as I posted exclusively on the WOR iog
at 0440:

NH: Hi Glenn - making some progress --- the vertical is up and tuned
to 5045 kHz and with bit of luck I hope to put at least a carrier
around local sunset.

GH: Nick, how much power will you be running? and How active is the
other 5045 station lately, at what hours?

NH: I could not detect any signals at my sunset until late for the
past week or so. The amp is not complaining at 300 W carrier, but that
would be probably max I could run right now.

GH: Last report I find is March 14 when Ron Howard, California was
hearing Bay Islands Radio from 1130 UT = not clear whether tune-in
time, or not audible until then. I see that your sunset today is 0618
UT, while in Brisbane it is 0720 UT.

So should we tip the group already to be alert tonight? Are you
prepared to QSL? Despite NI`s integration into Australia, it`s
probably considered a separate radio country by many.

NH: I will start tuning around in 2 hours or so {~0600 UT April 27}.
Feel free to give the group heads up, any report received - even just
a carrier - would be appreciated. vk9dx@clockmaker.com.au

Yes, I will print a special QSL card for this (and any future)
transmission. My only concern right now is to get the signal right, I
have no broadcast experience whatsoever. Check my QRZ.com page (VK9DX)
for photos of the actual location.
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/vk9dx

GH: Great! Nick says there will be a familiar voice on the tests.

GH later: At 0606 UT April 27 I had just tuned the Brisbane SDR to
5045, nothing at first but then a JBA carrier, too weak to lock.
Probably Norfolk, as if the Qsld 5045 were on it would surely be
stronger there.

At 0611 I move to the Upper Hutt NZ SDR, where I do hear IDs
intermittently in AM mode. I record some of them at 0613, and guess
what, it`s me! Nick had asked me a few hours before to record IDs for
this, and was also going to use the latest WOR as test audio. On next
WOR 2136 I shall include recordings as heard off air to remote, and
the original studio recording I sent him.

Computer is off and by 0642 I`m checking 5045 direct and do not detect
a JBA carrier. But at my final check 0717, there *is* a JBA carrier to
Enid.

I wonder if Radio DX has an official callsign? The other three private
SW stations in Australia are not shown with any in WRTH, but V- or A-
callsigns would be officially expected on licences even if never used
on air. I suppose Nick will be testing some more in this timespan as
long as Queensland be off.

Previous and further monitoring reports from WOR iog posts:

Walt Salmaniw, BC at 0616: I'm at the dials here in Masset. I don't
know whether it was Norfolk Island or not, but right at 0600 and a few
seconds before, I could see an intermittent carrier. On for, perhaps,
10 seconds and then off for a few seconds. Nothing again until carrier
on at about 0605:15 with a good loud carrier. Couldn't make anything
out, though. Strength really decreased over the next minute and
carrier off again at 0607:10 or so. Carrier on for a second or two
only, then off, then back and off again. Quite easy to hear the
carrier using CW. Back again 0608:25, relatively strong again. Just
seems to be an open carrier. I'd better send something off! There
might have been some speech at 0610, but too weak to be sure. Off, now
back again at 06:11. Yes, definitely some speech by OM at 0611:40, but
off immediately thereafter. "You are listening to..." seems to be
repeated a couple times, then carrier off. Repeated each time. Walt

Bruce Churchill, CA at 0620: Norfolk Island is in fact operating from
0606 tune at the KFS SW site in Half Moon Bay CA. “You are listening
to Radio DX, transmitting from Norfolk Island on 5,045 kilohertz”
[sic] repeated every few seconds, presumably by Nick [sic]. Carrier
being turned on and off. SINPO 35333.

Glenn, OK circa 0623: I`m also hearing it via the Upper Hutt NZ SDR.
S4/S5 but high noise level about the same. Nothing but IDs repeated
several times with long pauses, can`t tell if carrier stays on or not.
AM. At 0619 comes in much stronger, noise level down and/or power
bumped up. 0620 carrier off apparently as quieting gone, just noise.
0621 back on with ID. Recorded and will provide later. Have not yet
tried it direct but doubtful. Glenn

Chris Mackerell, NZ at 0634: Can you hear anything on my Marahau
Kiwis? I'm out for dinner but have left my Elad recording. Cheers,
Chris

Bruce at 0637+: Should be able to hear from any NZ Kiwi site – the
NZRDXL Mangawhai site was quite good at 0605.

First heard at 0605 from the NZRDXL Kiwi site but the signal was good
enough that I decided to switch to the KFS SW site near San Francisco
at 0606 using their SW TCI 532 antenna (pointed at 240 degrees, I
believe).

Music heard at 0641 with Nick [sic] speaking – hard to understand with
static level. Nice signal at S2-3, overall SINPO at 2v3/5/3/3/2.

Walt: Bruce, that's Glenn Hauser's WOR!

Bruce: Roger that! On again at 0643.

Walt: And guess who came on at 0641? Our very own, Mr Glenn Hauser
with WOR. Fantastic! Quite readable signal, and very little noise on
my brand new 290 deg DKAZ. Oops, looks like Glenn is off again at
0642:15. Walt in Masset, BC

Now some digital interference on the upper side, but short-lived, so
not too problematic. Glenn comes and goes with the transmitter! He's
off right now (0648 UT)

Bruce at 0703: Test may be over. Nothing heard since 0650:45 (last WOR
xmsn was 0649:15 to 0650:45). The good news is that Nick can be heard
in WCNA and very likely beyond when he becomes operational. If 300
watts is the power, it’s working!

Nick at 0707: [WOR] NF test transmission update: technical issues.
As you can clearly see - dealing with teething / technical issues. In
a nutshell: fluctuating between two extremes: exciter either not
producing enough power to drive the amp properly, or when it does, the
amp's temp protection kicks in and shuts it down. My apology to all
who tuned in to give it a go. The good news is that the antenna itself
is happy with whatever juice comes in and does good job radiation that
RF your way. I will continue to look for a solution, but most likely
there will be just more of this intermittent transmission until
daytime tomorrow. Hopefully you will be able to catch at least a
decent chunk. The plan is to stay up until West Coast sunrise. Thank
you again. Nick

Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington, USA: Via the SW-aimed
antenna on the KPH SDR in California, I caught some of Glenn's voice
fading in starting around 0713. Still audible at 0715 UT. Nothing
definitively audible at first on my own radio here in Lake Stevens,
Washington, but I did get faint talking, just barely audible, around
0717 UTC when I checked. Thanks for the testing!

Nick at 1008 UT: Norfolk Island RadioDX now off air --- At 0915 out of
blue, Island Music Radio from Queensland jumped on frequency with that
ungodly rock. Last thing we want is an on air shouting match :-) so
I've pulled the plug. The short term goal is to get the transmitter
running at a steady pace of 300W, lay more radials at the antenna base
and then transmit when channel is clear.

There is one major thing that would work for North American listeners
- Norfolk Island is 1500 km east from Australian mainland, meaning not
only that my signal will be stronger in NA but also an hour and half
advantage propagation wise. If Island Radio intends to transmit 24/7
on 5045 that would be an issue only for European listeners.

Once again, your reports and messages of encouragement are truly
appreciated. If you hear rock and profanities on 5045 rest assured
that wasn't Norfolk you've tuned in; SO those listening reports should
go to IMR. 73 Nick VK9DX RadioDX

Tom Daly: Nick, I just looked at your QRZ page & the pix of Norfolk
Is. are beautiful. Looks like the kind of place that when someone
visits they may never want to leave. Thanks for posting them. Tom

Raivavae - Austral Islands DX-pedition
TX5N.net

Several members of the Perseverance DX Group (PDXG) will activate
Raivavae Island (Austral Islands), French Polynesia, April 15 – April
29, 2022 for approximately 12 operating days. The plan is to have
radios on the air continually, as propagation allows.

The call sign TX5N was issued for this project. Team members include:
Steve W1SRD, Doris K0BEE, Rob N7QT, Melanie N7BX, Heye DJ9RR, Walt
N6XG and Gene K5GS. The team is planning to operate 160m – 10m
(including 60m), CW, SSB and Digital.

The team will meet in Papeete, Tahiti on April 12th and fly to
Raivavae on April 16th, returning to Papeete on April 28th. The team
expects to make between 60,000 – 80,000 QSOs

The operating location, Tama Raivavae Resort, will provide a small
bungalow for each team member and a separate building for radio
operations. Tama Raivavae has hosted many past DX-peditions.

Equipment will include Elecraft K3 transceivers with 500 and 1.5K watt
linear amplifiers. Antennas will be verticals and a hexbeam, antenna
placement will be on the beach. We expect to have some internet
availability for daily log uploads to M0URX.com

This project is self-funded by the team. We welcome donations via the
Donate button or with OQRS to offset equipment shipping expenses.
We are hoping that Covid doesn’t interfere with the project.``

said it's a website: "It’s encouraging civilians to sign up (everyone
can contribute to defeating russia). Проти.??.go.ua. Proty means
against. I couldn’t make out the second word. Indeed, krapka means
period or dot." It would be nice if we could get the full URL to check
it out. -- Richard Langley``

Also confirmed Sunday April 24 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S8/S9 into
Maryland SDR, but with considerable ACI from 5945 rock music, which is
Romania in English. Into Knoxville SDR less of that and S9+20. This
time continues instead of a replacement show on program sked. If
anyone run across any other unsked time on WRMI, do let me know.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 25 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
Knoxville, S9+10 i.e. less fading into Maryland, both of which are
considerably off the southwesterly beam. BTW, just before, concluding

I`d sometimes hear its het upon 1520 KOKC even here in OK, and might
again in our evenings, if active. Well, April 25 at 2255, nothing on
1521 into Cyprus or Kuwait SDRs unlike some nearby frequencies altho
maybe not ideal for MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0014 UT April 26

** CHINA. 13530, April 24 at 1416, CNR1 S9/+10 QRMing CODAR; also at
1417, S8/S9 on 13020, JBA carriers on 13190 & 13130. At 1424 also on
15800, S9/+10 // 13530; and S5/S8 on 16100. All well-established spots
to jam Sound of Hope, except not listed in Aoki 13190, rather in that
area 13130 where I usually detect it; 13160 and 13170. All of those
are among the latest huge SOH/jammer monitoring by Wolfgang Bueschel
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, April 24 at 1415, S9 of dead air from RHC, then off*;
while 13700 is S9+20 undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 13740, April 24 at 0629, African language the SSOB S7/9+10,
drumming, ``RFI`` pronounced in French and off 0630*. It was Hausa.
North Atlantic path is becoming less and less dark overnight (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, April 24 at 0506, still NO signal from VOG/EPT/ERT.
This is when they used to air Greek Orthodox services Sunday mornings;
yet it`s GrOx Easter but nothing special as an exception, tsk2,
limited to MF 12-17 UT only. At least I cannot accuse them of
violating Separation of Church and State (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11775, April 24 at 0626, Cuban-style pulse jamming
atop weak station, presumed Denge Welat as now scheduled only here via
BULGARIA at 0530-1700, due east from ``Secretbrod`` as Ivo calls
Kostinbrod. No explanation why Cuba would jam this frequency, never?
used by Radio Marti, but used to be Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla.
Turkiye is presumably more interested in jamming DW, normally with
music on now vacant former 11530/11540; so has Cuban technology been
exported?

BTW, I`m astounded to spot in HFCC that WWCR has registered 11775 at
1200-2100 on the 46-degree antenna, i.e. #1 which is really on 15825.
Anything else imaginary? Plenty of alternatives: 15795 at 09-22; 12180
at 12-24; 7390 at 12-20; 6115 at 01-21 in addition to axual usage
21-01; 6090 at 21-12, 3215 at 21-12 beyond axual 01-11; 3195 at 21-01.
Note both 11775 and 6090, the two ex-Anguilla channels, by the same
frequency manager (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6915 USB, April 24 at 0044, S9/+10 pirate music
overcomes much of the high storm noise level --- NE/SW front across
central OK with tornado threats to OKC, Stillwater, but nothing around
Enid. All four major OKC TV stations blow away their primetime for
wall-to-wall storm coverage; KWTV especially boastful about its
equipment.

0045 Wolverine Radio ID, and at 0055, then ``Let the Good Times
Roll``; 0102 quick comparison to 7490 WBCQ about same on meter but
W.R. louder; when I get back at 0103, SSTV underway, and at 0105 as
soon as that`s over without a beat, DJ as Doctor DJ and/or Drunken DJ
Radio. Same transmitter? He even mentions Wolverine too. Mike is lo-fi
but talx a lot more than Wolv. Does not sound drunken to me: try
harder? 0110 outros songs unlike Wolv, `Once in a Lifetime` by Talking
Heads. 0113 shoutouts to reports on HF Underground. More songs. 0124
again referring to Wolverine as well as DDJR. 0126 first of two SSTVs;
0128 backstory about it and 0129 second SSTV. I do not recheck until
0325, when 6915 is *still* on acknowledging HFU reports including a
request from Bermuda.

Here are the HFU reports of both stations, no doubt including some
images so I don`t have to:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96301.0.html
Lots and lots of them, with playlists. Later: WDDR is on 6900, which
started with WDOG, confusing: see below report (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Apr 24 at 0326, another pirate on here
with rock at S9 direct; 0335 SFX noises like revving, then screaming
music; 0345 via Missouri SDR, SSTV; 0346 KDOG, K-dog ID, music. See:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96308.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6900 USB, Apr 24 at 0353, a third station while 6915
and 6950 are still running. Via Missouri remote: Rock, 0354 and over
music at 0355, WDOG ID in Morse code. See:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96307.0.html
0400 another ID with yips.

But at 0425 the 6900 station IDs as WDDR - Drunken DJ Radio, earlier
on 6915. Now only 6900 remains on. At 0437 says he has finished his
bottle of wine. 0500 still on, 0502 says is getting a buzz, will play
one more tune, HFU replies; 0508 now is pulling out one more one more
tune from YT, as closing windows, now sounds inebriated. Is really off
by 0515 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 24 at 0500, UR1 via WRMI, no English
segment today, understandably, since it`s Orthodox Easter: some lovely
music, a lasting legacy of religionism. It`s 8 am in Ukraine, so I
wonder if this be a live E-morning service; or maybe recorded from
previous evening, if any. After 0515 mostly UU talk (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2135 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 23 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, S9 into UTwente but avoid RTTY warble
on LSB, or reduce bandwidth <3.5 kHz. By 1957 has faded to S5/6.

Also confirmed Saturday April 23 at 1946 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG
S9+8 into nearby SDR, ending at 2002 so started about 1933.

TWR RGV SDR; S9 direct but JBA vs high OK storm noise level.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 24 at 0336 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+20 direct but in hi storm noise level, about 3 minutes into so
started circa 0333; at 0344 via nearby SDR, S9+10 but better S/N
against storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 24 at 1337 on WMRI Europe via Channel

** U S A. 9955, April 24 at 1410, WRMI S9 but quite undermodulated,
against nohuxter more apropos than the Tourette`s screamster Terry
Blalock! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 1937 UT April 24

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 23 at 1457, NO LRA36 signal into
four Brasil SDRs, another Saturday absent as in all of April. Still no
reply to my fourth email inquiry, which did not bounce (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 28394 USB, April 22 at 2220, PU2WDX São Paulo in
contact with 6Y5CR in Jamaica, both audible in quick check of 10mb.

28420 USB, April 22 at 22232, VK3CWB in NW Victoria contacting Bill in
Florida, and lots more signals. First time Australia heard in long
time and simul with Brasil and Jamaica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 23 at 1605-1630, V of Martyrs Korea,
usual sermon in English, S9/+20 into new Coimbatore, India KiwiSDR,
closing ID and off in time for *1630 Vatican Arabic with much weaker
signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 9450 & 9890, April 23 at 1900-1909, NO signals into
Kuwait or South African SDRs, checking for R. Ominira Yoruba as in
last report, which was unheard on 9450 April 21, to which these
replies; from Wolfgang Bueschel:

``only Sat/Sun service? this read on Nagoya Japanese userlist1 data
file of PERSEUS SDR software file accessories:
A22 Shortwave Frequency List April 21 2022, 1000 UTC:
http://www1.s2.starcat.ne.jp/ndxc/pc/us/nda/userlist1.txt
9890 kHz 1900-2400 G Radio Ominira Yoruba Yor Woofferton 17
73 wb df5sx`` --- the 17 means Sunday & Saturday

And from Kai Ludwig April 22: ``9890 kHz was the frequency where these
broadcasts appeared in June 2021. They were supposed to run either Sat
and Sun or perhaps Fri, Sat, Sun. First transmission was on June 6,
and on June 18 the whole thing was already cancelled again, with no
further explanations being given.

So this Perseus software entry is a karteileiche and 9450 kHz rather
the frequency now reserved for attempts to sell this airtime. It would
of course not hurt to check if anything appears tonight or tomorrow,
but I would not be surprised if this turns out to be as substantial as
the wishlist registrations for BBC Russian and 16 hours of English to
eastern Europe...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, Apr 23 at 1912, R. Svoboda in Russian VG into
Khimki, Russia SDR, S9+15/35 with no jamming audible; the crowd-funded
`Shortwaves for Freedom` relay via secret site believed to be ARMENIA;
just checking, still going strong; altho slightly distorted modulation
and crackle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 23 at 0500-0507, UR1 via WRMI. This time
only a brief UU language announcement before switch to English,
`Ukraine: Security Issue`. It always includes a website in .ua, but
the word for `dot` is a lot more complex I have yet to fathom (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2135 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 22 at 1815 on IRRS SW via BULGARIA, 7290; despite `SW Report`
having started at 1811, but that 30-minute show chopped off at 1815
for IRRS ID & WOR. S9/+10 on 7290 into UTwente; also via AM Italia,
1323 kHz into nearby Noale SDR, but nothing on 918 or 207 kHz. Some
QRMusic under and at 1825 that overcomes in German talk from Romania
minority service. Nothing audible on 14580 = 2 x 7290 into UTwente,
except for RTTY warble on the USB.

Also confirmed Friday Apr 22 at 2030.4 on AM Italia, now both 1323 at
S9+10 and 918 kHz S9+18, no QRM. There was music fill at 2025, 2030
IRRS canned ID asking for reports to the Milano PO box, despite Ron
Norton online publicity denying that postal mail is accepted!

Missed checking UT Sat Apr 23 at 0130 on WRMI 9395; anyone hear it?

Confirmed UT Saturday April 23 from 0359.7 on R. Angela WBCQ 4790,
sufficient into Maryland SDR, as I note the exact times of 1-second
noise burst QRM, or `uteblaaps`. This time exactly 3:00 minutes apart
at 2 seconds past: 0400, 0403, 0406 ... 0427. And an interspersed
3:00-minute cycle at 43 seconds past: 0401, 0404 ... 0428. Timings
correlated with WWV 5000 into same SDR.

Also confirmed Sat Apr 23 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast. Next:

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Apr 23 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`.
After WTO theme, immediately into a country gospel tune as a request
from someone in Nyack. Allan says he likes Earth Day; the 81 million
who voted for [Biden] are idiots. Rest of first half railing against
the ``war on gender``, [which the Far Right has just made up], causing
him ``disgustment``. Criminals are running the country now. 0032 says
trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 4790 from Studio 9 in Fla, but never gets
around to a YOOLF datestamp; but we know it`s live and current since
refers to Easter last Sunday. Keeps apologizing for being so
political, 0036 switching to radio stuff. R. Angela may be expanded to
an hour earlier 9-10 pm Eastern [= 01-02 UT]. Reads article about a
longtime pirate on 87.9 on north side of Chicago [we had this weeks
ago]. 0050 bit of a Radio World story about R. Nova, Dublin. 0053

late as usual. Standard disclaimer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
