** ALBANIA [non]. 7730, Sun Apr 17 at 0608, WRMI S9+10 with travelog of Albania, S9+10, so R. Tirana is still the primary occupant at 0600, altho on April 13 Ivo Ivanov reported RFPI at this time: that may be only weekly on Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9880, April 16 at 2237, CRI Esperanto, VG into UTwente, fluent YL with continuous musical bed; run across as I am tracking Cairo. Via Kashgar, standard denunciation. Only Commies SWBC in Esp`o, CRI and Cuba, per: https://www.addx.de/cgi-bin/hfp.cgi which shows RHC Sundays at 0600-0630 on 6100; really, instead of 0700? I did not reconfirm either today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9899.951, April 16 at 2227, R. Cairo suptorted music, S9+30 into UTwente; at 2236 can recognize talk in Portuguese distorted, so now ``9900`` is the 2215-2230 Brazilian service instead of English at 2115-2245 which is now scheduled and sometimes heard on 9440, but nothing there now. That would require two transmitters at once; possible? So I keep checking for subsequent emissions: 9884.951, April 16 at 2333, now Cairo in Arabic to S America, S9+45 with occasional modulation peaks breaking thru. Still suptorted at 0042 April 17, now S9 tuning direct. Note the close match of the -49/50 Hz offset from one frequency to another. 9889.950, April 17 at 0044, has now already upslid 5 kHz for the 0045 Spanish service, same horrible modulation, but I missed the transition. Measured via UTwente not until 0157 when about to end, S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6934.9 AM, April 17 at 0306, JBA talk, music, only sign of a pirate as I haven`t been searching earlier during `prime time` UT Sundays. These say it`s KMUD on ``6935``: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96019.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed Saturday April 16 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR but only S4/S5 into UTwente and with RTTY warble on the LSB. Also confirmed Sat Apr 16 at 1931 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, S9+10 into nearby Warrenton SDR, about 11 minutes into so started early about 1920 Also confirmed UT Sunday April 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5 into Tennessee SDR with storm crashes but better here than some other US remotes. Also confirmed UT Sunday April 17 at 0320 on WA0RCR 1860 AM, MO, about 8 minutes into so started circa 0312: S9+10 vs S9 local? noise level unusual for nearby KB0FX SDR; amid R2 blackout but that should affect the dayside, not nearby darkside groundwave. Axually better now into Knoxville SDR, S9 with some storm crashes not nearby. Also confirmed Sunday April 17 at 1402 on WMRI Europe via Channel 292, Germany, 9670, about S4 into Castlegar, Ireland SDR, while Carlow waterfall was blank; and not audible at UTwente = too close skipping over. I tuned in just in time to hear WOR 2134 ending, so this week must have started at 1333; then immediately into Russian. Next: 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy; & 918? 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [to be canceled? still Apr 3 but 10?] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba] 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Henry Blackwood for a contribution via PayPal in US$ but not necessarily to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, April 17 at 0000, WRMI with second of three consecutive Texas Radio Shortwave hours, this one being `Howdy Neighbor` with music by Oklahomans, or about us. I make a few but not continuous notes: Opening synthyl says broadcasting from the Arkansas River between Port of Catoosa and Fort Smith, Arkansas. Songs are pre-announced in groups of three; first including Jack Guthrie. 0011, a Cadillac Boogie; 0013 surfin` song despite no seacoast; 0019, Prop Me Up By The Jukebox If I Die; 0025 Tumblin` Tumbleweed by Gene Autry [who by sheer coincidence came from Gene Autry, Oklahoma!]; 0031 My Oklahoma by Bruce Springsteen, and no Muskogee; 0045 says neighbor next week will be New Mexico, and Patti Page coming up. 0058 best-for-last finale, Oklahoma from the Broadway musical and segué to YROT closing theme. Altho I could have heard it direct, for convenience at computer I`m listening via Knoxville SDR which is usually good for WRMI 5950. From advance publicity: ``New Texas Radio Shortwave Program: TRSW Says Howdy Oklahoma! At 0000 UTC, Sunday, April 17, On 5950 Khz, with music by Oklahoma artists and songs about the state. There are some big names on the artist list; also, we bet you’ve not heard of a few. Here’s the list: Big Chief Henry's Indian String Band, Bruce Springsteen, David Gates & The Country Boys, Gene Autry, Gene Pitney, Hinder, Jack Guthrie, Jimmy Liggins, Joe Diffie, Lester Young, Mary Kay Place, Oklahoma Movie Cast, Otto Gray & His Cowboy Band, Patti Page, Turnpike Troubadours, Wanda Jackson. The third eQSL in the series of four follows the design of the others. Email a reception report on at least 20 minutes of what you hear to texasradiosw@gmail.com`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, April 17 at 0609, R. Vanuatu with S8/S9 of talk, maybe English instead of Bislama, so third harmonic of 3945 still funxions; 7890 with JBA carrier at second (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1941 UT April 17

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 16 at 1440, no LRA36 signal into five Brazilian SDRs checked, another silent Saturday, and a fully silent April so far (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 16 at 0501-0507.5, YP1 via WRMI with `Ukraine: Security Issue` English segment this time by YL announcer with dramatic stingers for Day 51 of the War. Still wondering what follow the Ukrainian hour at 0600, but not retuned until 0616 when I think I hear Slovakia mentioned, then nothing but fill music until 0629 ID and 0630 TOMBS cult (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday April 16 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+12 into Maryland SDR. At 0150 check direct, S9+10. Also confirmed UT Saturday April 16 at 0400 on R Angela via WBCQ 4790, -17 Hz into Maryland SDR = 4789.983, S6/S5. And ~2-second uteblaaps spaced exactly 5.0 seconds apart instead of 3.0 or 4.0 as previously timed; now at 46/47 seconds past 0415, 0420, 0425, 0430. Also confirmed Sat Apr 16 at 1600 on WRN North America webcast. Next: 1930 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0430] 1324vUT Sunday WMRI Europe via Ch 292 Germany 9670 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918 & 1323-Italy 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [to be canceled? still Apr 3] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed] 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Henry Blackwood for a contribution via PayPal in US$ but not necessarily to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, April 16 at 0616, S4/S7 talk from R.

{Fixing a few minor typos:}
** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 15 at 1503, Voice of Martyrs - Korea with TV preacher lecturing as if to children, taking The Trinity as a given in total self-assuredness, S9+10/20 into Perth, better than Kuwait or UTwente gets the secred* site; 1525 fading down to S6/S9, 1529 wrapping up with email and off. Soon replaced by *1530 Vatican Radio in Arabic, much stronger S9/+15 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {*typo: did I mean secret instead of sacred? I may have coined a new term!}
** TURKEY. 9830, April 15 at 2200, Voice of Türkiye opening English, VG S9+20/25 strength into UTwente, first with transmission sked. On M/W/F I usually check both this and SPAIN q.v. for English to us. Aside from whether Spain`s subject may be of interest, it`s no contest to choose the pleasant voice of Justin Coe in perfect English, over the Türkiguy trying to be understood through the lo-fi overmodulation and hum. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler. I leave it on in the background and hear the beautiful IS loop already running by 2250; chops off at 2254.6* before it`s about to switch from English postlude to German prélude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7780, UT Sat April 16 at 0000, this WRMI to southwest just came on, right into Alameda Bible study in Spanish, NOT Radio Free America Latina, as alleged in a WRMI post on disgraced FB about such a new program at 0000 UT Saturday, a repeat of 0000 UT Friday on 9955 which I am yet to catch. The System D program grid however shows the 7780 airing as 0030 UT Sat. This proves to be correct as I check that while listening to WBCQ into the other ear. The wrong time on FB has not been corrected!
We now know that the word Radio is pronounced as in Spanish, the word Free as in English; and the rest in Spanish; why not Libre? A perfectly good Spanish word. Opens with some jaunty, non-LA theme music. Into TWR RGV SDR on 7780 it`s S8/S9+5. Editorial de la semana is about guerra en Ucrania. As implied in their publicity, anti-Commie and LA fellow travelers. Announcer Dolores speaks with artificial voice. 0035 more jaunty music; 0037 another ID; 0044.5 it`s over, back to Zanotti ID, fill music starting with `Sandunga` on marimba, one of our favorites, and more fill to hourtop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 11760, April 15 at 1353, NO signal from RHC which is supposed to run 1200-1800 here. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Instead, weak S6/S8 conversation in American English, so it must be CRI -- yes, `Beijing Hour`, scheduled 1200-1400 via Kunming. Still Commies but not vs other Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Fri Apr 15 at 1530, Greek talk dominates into UTwente, while CNR13 pop music dominates into Perth SDR. 1538, ERT plays Dean Martin`s ``That`s Amore``; why? Anyway a fine old Italianate tune. At 1700 timesignal from China as Greece goes off, as Uighur service continues with CNR theme ID and more music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [and non]. 7290, Fri Apr 15 at 1759, UTwente gets music and 1800, 5+1 timesignal and CNR, but no IRRS. Third Friday is an off-week for WORLD OF RADIO at 1815 and everything else normally on IRRS this hour via Bulgaria. Then via Noale SDR near Villa Estense I check 918 and 1323 kHz at 1803. Unlike last week, 918 is off again. 1323 does have rock music, marred by local noise spans on and off every minute; over lite CCI presumably Romania in German; 1807 Radio City ID and DJ in English, I think, but hard to understand. By 1812 recheck, 7290 is now on with same Radio City music. Neither now nor earlier is 2 x 7290 = 14580 audible into UTwente, just a big ute warble on the upper side. And so it goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 15 at 1503, Voice of Martyrs - Korea with TV preacher lecturing as if to children, taking The Trinity as a given in total self-assuredness, S9+10/20 into Perth, better than Kuwait or UTwente gets the secred site; 1525 fading down to S6/S9, 1529 wrapping up with email and off. Soon replaced by *1530 Vatican Radio in Arabic, much stronger S9/+15 into Utwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday April 15 at 2200, token English from REE, VG into Maryland SDR, news first from Justin Coe; then Amy Egan with feature about Easter music in Spain; 2214 finally starts playing `Madruga`, a dirgey march for ``Holy Week`` in Seville. Here`s a look at Justin & Amy along with the podcast where she was introduced: https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/emision-en-ingles/english-language-broadcast-panorama-07-01-21/5754541/ See also TURKEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, April 15 at 2200, Voice of Türkiye opening English, VG S9+20/25 strength into UTwente, first with transmission sked. On M/W/F I usually check both this and SPAIN q.v. for English to us. Aside from whether Spain`s subject may be of interest, it`s no contest to choose the pleasant voice of Justin Coe in perfect English, over the Türkiguy trying to be understood through the lo-fi overmodulation and hum. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler. I leave it on in the background and hear the beautiful IS loop already running by 2250; chops off at 2354.6* before it`s about to switch from English postlude to German prélude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 15 at 0501-0506, YP1 via WRWI with English `Ukraine: Security Issue` this time voiced by the guy who is not in so big a hurry. Of course if they only get 5 minutes for English, you can hardly blame them. I happen to recheck 7730 at 0629 direct and surprised to hear the Ukrainian national anthem, before it`s chopped off at 0629.5 for canned WRMI ID, 0630 into TOMBS. The question is, what was airing between 0600 and 0629 after the UR1 hour? It had been R. Tirana, Albania relay, but on April 13, Ivo Ivanov said Radio for Peace International aired instead in Russian and English. However, this may be a weekly rather than daily broadcast? 1386 Lithuania relay of YP1 English news reconfirmed at 0001 UT April 16, VG into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 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: World of Radio #2133, confirmed, below with Details: WRMI: 9395, 9455, slight QRN, 9455, 0033, 0040 (45433), 9395, 0043 (45433), 9455, 0043, 0057 (45433), 0059, April 14 UTC 2022 [Thu] 9395, 0131, 0157 (45433), 0159, April 14 UTC 2022 [Thu] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday April 15 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850, S9+30 to Missouri SDR; 7730, S9+25/35 to Maryland SDR. 0330 on WRMI-2 5985 at 222 degrees continues to show on the skedgrid for blue System D, daily with WOR on Fridays, yet 5985 has not been confirmed on air for a few weeks. Also claims to run Eslovaquia at 0400, unheard either. Jeff has not explained what`s going on here, so I am obliged to keep checking. In fact, into various N American and Caribbean area remotes, there *is* a JBA carrier on 5985, enough for Kiwis SAM to lock onto it, but no modulation audible. If not WRMI, what could it be? Aoki and EiBi do not account for anything else at this hour. HFCC has a totally imaginary Indonesian entry which even if it existed would not be propagating from mid-day over there. However, once before I could barely recognize my voice during this span, as if WRMI were on a few watts of exciter only. Maybe that is still the case without or with any identifiable modulation? Another remote possibility: a leapfrog mixing product; but does not compute as combination of any strong 49m Cuban or US fundamentals. WOR 2134 confirmed Friday April 15 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, at least no jamming at this hour, but JBA S3-S5 direct in degraded propagation. WWV reports at 1500: ``# Geophysical Alert Message Solar-terrestrial indices for 14 April follow. Solar flux 103 and estimated planetary A-index 38. The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 15 April was 3. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level occurred. Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred. No space weather storms are predicted for the next 24 hours.`` Third-Friday 1815 on IRRS preempted; see ITALY Confirmed Friday April 15 at 2030, S9+7/8 on AM Italia 1323 but not 918 kHz, into nearby Noale SDR.

How can Allan Weiner, a Man Of Science, countenance this? Free Speech, of course. Free to make absolute fools of themselves as long as they paid for it. And try to spread their nonsense. How about the permanent damage such nonsense could do to the lives of their gullible listener victims? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. In memory of John Henry Carver, Jr., mid-north Indiana, who so faithfully filed with us his summaries of `AAAWWW` on WBCQ, and died April 8 as previously reported. There was no mention of him on this week`s program, which I monitored on webcast of (7490v) starting at 0000 UT Saturday April 16: Skipping the usual mike-fiddling and titillation, discussing a QSL card from a listener with view of Grand Canyon, and lauds the program, if I could only read my scribble of the exact words. They plug Easter, etc., with the usual post-Jewish piety. Backs Elon Musk to take over Twitter --- and how about a few of his billions to prop up all US SW stations? Somehow blames the ``mistake`` of electing Biden President for Putin making war. Isn`t T**** still saying that attacking Ukraine was a smart thing to do?? The Lord could put a stop to all of that immediately if persuaded by enough praying. 0034 skims thru some Free Radio Weekly items just published, including YHWH on 7475. 0038 reads Radio World follow-up, reader responses to Robinson & Perron`s article that SW is kaput. Pronounces Keith as Pair-on. 0051 misc. e-mail. 0053 reading article about what it was like to drive antique cars 100 years ago. 0059 prayer. 0101 joining in progress Hal Turner late as usual [and I start getting an echo as 7780 WRMI has also brought him up] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7780, UT Sat April 16 at 0000, this WRMI to the southwest has just come on, right into Bible study in Spanish, NOT Radio Free America Latina, as alleged in a WRMI post on disgraced FB about such a new program at 0000 UT Saturday, a repeat of 0000 UT Friday on 9955 which I am yet to catch.

Vanuatu again here with music, S7/S9 direct on 3 x 3945; 7890 = 2 x 3945 only a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 9200, April 15 at 1433, big open carrier S9+20/30 but shortly cuts off. Such has been heard before. This is stronger than any 9 MHz broadcaster as I quickly scan them: 9330 WBCQ SuperStition is only S9/+10, and 9980 WWCR TOMBS only S9! Possibly an idle RTTY transmitter if not a test-only broadcast frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0128 UT April 16

And so it goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 15 at 1503, Voice of Martyrs - Korea with TV preacher lecturing as if to children, taking The Trinity as a given in total self-assuredness, S9+10/20 into Perth, better than Kuwait or UTwente gets the secred site; 1525 fading down to S6/S9, 1529 wrapping up with email and off. Soon replaced by *1530 Vatican Radio in Arabic, much stronger S9/+15 into Utwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday April 15 at 2200, token English from REE, VG into Maryland SDR, news first from Justin Coe; then Amy Egan with feature about Easter music in Spain; 2214 finally starts playing `Madruga`, a dirgey march for ``Holy Week`` in Seville. Here`s a look at Justin & Amy along with the podcast where she was introduced: https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/emision-en-ingles/english-language-broadcast-panorama-07-01-21/5754541/ See also TURKEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, April 15 at 2200, Voice of Türkiye opening English, VG S9+20/25 strength into UTwente, first with transmission sked. On M/W/F I usually check both this and SPAIN q.v. for English to us. Aside from whether Spain`s subject may be of interest, it`s no contest to choose the pleasant voice of Justin Coe in perfect English, over the Türkiguy trying to be understood through the lo-fi overmodulation and hum. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler. I leave it on in the background and hear the beautiful IS loop already running by 2250; chops off at 2354.6* before it`s about to switch from English postlude to German prélude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 15 at 0501-0506, YP1 via WRWI with English `Ukraine: Security Issue` this time voiced by the guy who is not in so big a hurry. Of course if they only get 5 minutes for English, you can hardly blame them. I happen to recheck 7730 at 0629 direct and surprised to hear the Ukrainian national anthem, before it`s chopped off at 0629.5 for canned WRMI ID, 0630 into TOMBS. The question is, what was airing between 0600 and 0629 after the UR1 hour? It had been R. Tirana, Albania relay, but on April 13, Ivo Ivanov said Radio for Peace International aired instead in Russian and English. However, this may be a weekly rather than daily broadcast? 1386 Lithuania relay of YP1 English news reconfirmed at 0001 UT April 16, VG into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 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: World of Radio #2133, confirmed, below with Details: WRMI: 9395, 9455, slight QRN, 9455, 0033, 0040 (45433), 9395, 0043 (45433), 9455, 0043, 0057 (45433), 0059, April 14 UTC 2022 [Thu] 9395, 0131, 0157 (45433), 0159, April 14 UTC 2022 [Thu] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday April 15 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850, S9+30 to Missouri SDR; 7730, S9+25/35 to Maryland SDR. 0330 on WRMI-2 5985 at 222 degrees continues to show on the skedgrid for blue System D, daily with WOR on Fridays, yet 5985 has not been confirmed on air for a few weeks. Also claims to run Eslovaquia at 0400, unheard either. Jeff has not explained what`s going on here, so I am obliged to keep checking. In fact, into various N American and Caribbean area remotes, there *is* a JBA carrier on 5985, enough for Kiwis SAM to lock onto it, but no modulation audible. If not WRMI, what could it be? Aoki and EiBi do not account for anything else at this hour. HFCC has a totally imaginary Indonesian entry which even if it existed would not be propagating from mid-day over there. However, once before I could barely recognize my voice during this span, as if WRMI were on a few watts of exciter only. Maybe that is still the case without or with any identifiable modulation? Another remote possibility: a leapfrog mixing product; but does not compute as combination of any strong 49m Cuban or US fundamentals. WOR 2134 confirmed Friday April 15 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, at least no jamming at this hour, but JBA S3-S5 direct in degraded propagation. WWV reports at 1500: ``# Geophysical Alert Message Solar-terrestrial indices for 14 April follow. Solar flux 103 and estimated planetary A-index 38. The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 15 April was 3. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level occurred. Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred. No space weather storms are predicted for the next 24 hours.`` Third-Friday 1815 on IRRS preempted; see ITALY Confirmed Friday April 15 at 2030, S9+7/8 on AM Italia 1323 but not 918 kHz, into nearby Noale SDR.

How can Allan Weiner, a Man Of Science, countenance this? Free Speech, of course. Free to make absolute fools of themselves as long as they paid for it. And try to spread their nonsense. How about the permanent damage such nonsense could do to the lives of their gullible listener victims? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. In memory of John Henry Carver, Jr., mid-north Indiana, who so faithfully filed with us his summaries of `AAAWWW` on WBCQ, and died April 8 as previously reported. There was no mention of him on this week`s program, which I monitored on webcast of (7490v) starting at 0000 UT Saturday April 16: Skipping the usual mike-fiddling and titillation, discussing a QSL card from a listener with view of Grand Canyon, and lauds the program, if I could only read my scribble of the exact words. They plug Easter, etc., with the usual post-Jewish piety. Backs Elon Musk to take over Twitter --- and how about a few of his billions to prop up all US SW stations? Somehow blames the ``mistake`` of electing Biden President for Putin making war. Isn`t T**** still saying that attacking Ukraine was a smart thing to do?? The Lord could put a stop to all of that immediately if persuaded by enough praying. 0034 skims thru some Free Radio Weekly items just published, including YHWH on 7475. 0038 reads Radio World follow-up, reader responses to Robinson & Perron`s article that SW is kaput. Pronounces Keith as Pair-on. 0051 misc. e-mail. 0053 reading article about what it was like to drive antique cars 100 years ago. 0059 prayer. 0101 joining in progress Hal Turner late as usual [and I start getting an echo as 7780 WRMI has also brought him up] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7780, UT Sat April 16 at 0000, this WRMI to the southwest has just come on, right into Bible study in Spanish, NOT Radio Free America Latina, as alleged in a WRMI post on disgraced FB about such a new program at 0000 UT Saturday, a repeat of 0000 UT Friday on 9955 which I am yet to catch. The System D program grid however shows the 7780 airing as 0030 UT Sat. This proves to be correct as I check that while listening to WBCQ into the other ear. The wrong time on FB has not been corrected! We now know that the word Radio is pronounced as in Spanish, the word Free as in English; and the rest in Spanish; why not Libre? A perfectly good Spanish word. Opens with some jaunty, non-LA theme music. Into TWR RGV SDR on 7780 it`s S8/S9+5. Editorial de la semana is about guerra in Ucrania. As implied in their publicity, anti-Commie and LA fellow travelers. Announcer Dolores speaks with artificial voice. 0035 more jaunty music; 0037 another ID; 0044.5 it`s over, back to Zanotti ID, fill music starting with `Sandunga` on marimba, one of our favorites, and more fill to hourtop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, April 15 at 0640, R. Vanuatu again here with music, S7/S9 direct on 3 x 3945; 7890 = 2 x 3945 only a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 9200, April 15 at 1433, big open carrier S9+20/30 but shortly cuts off. Such has been heard before. This is stronger than any 9 MHz broadcaster as I quickly scan them: 9330 WBCQ SuperStition is only S9/+10, and 9980 WWCR TOMBS only S9! Possibly an idle RTTY transmitter if not a test-only broadcast frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0128 UT April 16
