A-22 SCHEDULES

Linx to several varieties are on the WOR homepage
http://www.worldofradio.com

Look for A22; some not yet updated still go to B21, or even A21. The
*final* free major WRTH updater covering A22 is expected in early May

** CUBA. 5040, April 10 at 0153, S9+10/20 of dead air in French from
RHC, where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5055, April 10 at 0153, JBA carrier. Certainly not Australia
at this hour. N American pirate has been here recently; but could be
leapfrog mixing product of 5025 Rebelde over 5040 RHC another 15 kHz
beyond. YES, recheck at 0614, now there is enough music audio on S7/S8
to make it // 5025, both of which must be from same site, Bauta.
However, no reverse leap can be detected on open 5010. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060 & 6165, April 10 at 0612 are by chance the two remaining
RHC English frequencies, while 5040 is still on in Spanish.
6060 at S9+20/30 reads weaker than 6165 at S9+40, but modulation is
slightly louder on 6060. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341 MCW kHz, April 10 at 0622 UT, ND beacon EI
at Woodring Airport is OFF again, as I can copy only OIN in Oberlin
KS. I listen intently for at least a minute, but no trace of . ..
which was amazingly weak anyway for 25? watts a few km away. EI had
been consistently heard active since last reactivation March 30, after
a long absence since early August.

341 MCW kHz, April 10 at 1815 UT almost local noon, EI is again on,
and audible every octosecond (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SWAZILAND. 11879.971, April 10 at 1456, off-frequency open carrier;
1458 music box IS and ID ``TWR from Eswátini``, twice or thrice, 1500
into African language, music. Note how they pronounce the country,
stress on the A just like in Swáziland, not Eswatíni as I and others
had been guessing. They should know. Somali scheduled 1500-1530, plus
another 15 until 1545 on Sundays. This hour is squeezed between
Romania`s and China`s 11880 usage. I would not be surprised if it`s
long-path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 10 at 0501-0507, YP1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` another English segment of war news, preparing for
great attack on Donbass, etc., very well done summary, sufficient
direct to NW tho aimed NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, April 10 at 1816 UT, FBY, ND beacon at
FairBurY, Nebraska. This is the only one commonly audible from a
second-adjacent state in full daytime. Fairbury is in SE NE some 15 km
from the KS border; 422 km or 262 stmi from Enid. That is, 17 km per
watt or 10.5 miles per watt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday April 10
at 0030 on WRMI 7780: S8/S9+5 into Knoxville SDR. Now aimed 222
degrees so how is this log periodic off the back in Europe, which
would be 42 degrees, close to the direct-to-Europe antennas centred on
44? S7-S8 very poor in noise level. Also checked Bonaire to the south:
S5/S8.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 10 at 0323 just started about 0322 on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+10 groundwave into nearby SDR. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy
2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [to be canceled? still Apr 3]
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW

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 [new]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A [and non]. 4790, April 9 at 0352 during R. Angela with `Uncle
Bill`s Melting Pot` on WBCQ, I am alert for the ``uteblaap`` QRM,
listening via Maryland remote --- and there it is, 2-second bursts
every 3 minutes near top of these minutes: 0352, 0355, 0358. Also
separate 3-minute cycles from about 0359.7; but WBCQ signs off circa
0400. Now will the blaaps continue? Yes, so they are external to `BCQ
and rather weaker tonight than before. The first cycle still noted at
0401, 0404, 0407; and the second at 0402.7. On the waterfall some of
these small sharp images appear right on 4790, such as the 0404;
others a few kHz above or below. Those may have been within the
audible bandwidth when hearing WBCQ tuned to 4790. But who or what is
doing this, and why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, April 10 at 0616, WRMI-4 is back, with TOMBS. Missing
ever since first noted March 31; I have never seen nor found any
explanation of why. Also resumed is parasitic JBA spur on 4975. At
S9+30 subjectively 4980 seems stronger than before, antenna change?
Still allegedly 160 degrees, same as 9955 & 5800 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 990, April 10 at 0447 UT, Morse code ID barely copied as
WWKY, direct into my R75 via E/W longwire which happens to be aimed
close to KY already; but lots of QRM, led by CBW to the north side
with Debussy at 0444.

1150, April 10 at 0452 UT, 1 kHz tone with brief breaks; 0454, VVV VVV
VVV DE WMST ID marker, 0457 sweeps upward. For this I`m on the DX-398
in order to null KSAL Salina KS to the north which otherwise dominates
at night here with major lobe thisaway.

So I managed to DX both direct; tnx for the tests. 990 WWKY is in
Winchester KY running 1 kW ND day power; 1150 WMST in Mount Sterling
KY with 2.5 kW ND day power. Earlier, I listened to them both via the
Lexington KY SDR to familiarize myself with what they were sending.
Surprised it was not maxed out until I logged on, already in use by
someones in California, New Zealand, and Ukraine! Glad one can still
do some non-DX listening there. The NZer is Dene Lynneberg, editor of
an NZ DX Times column about SDR DXing specifically, segregated from
direct DX logs. My notes:

Starting at 0415 April 10 on 990: tone here stronger than on 1150.
0416 upward tones, jingle ID, more tones; S9 with some storm noise
from the Atlantic. 0418 singing ID and sweeps upward; 0419 phone off
hook pulses, more upsweeps. 0420 VVV VVV VVV DE WWKY [8 times, good!]
back to VVVs. 0426 phone off hook, YL full WWKY test announcement
explaining it. Are 1150 and 990 separate or //?

1150, at 0421 upsweeps while 990 is in VVVs. I quit web at 0439 and
over to my direct radios, as above. Did not record anything, so
despite all this detail, cannot get QSLs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, April 10 at 0631, KVOH is still on past nominal 0600*
with praise music, not the usual bigsig but S7/S9 with Doppler flutter
as the ionosphere is disturbed. Same signal strength and Dfl even
affects 9955 WRMI. No wonder: K index of 7! WWV reported at 0600:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 09 April follow.
Solar flux 107 and estimated planetary A-index 19.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0600 UTC on 10 April was 7.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been strong.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be strong.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3 level are expected.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1924 UT April 10

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 9 at 1420-1425, NO LRA36 signal
into the 4 KiwiSDR remotes in Brasil, so misses another Saturday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [non]. 15265, April 9 at 1456, VP gospel huxter in English,
not TOMBS or YHWH voice. Aoki shows it`s Bible Voice, via Nauen,
GERMANY, Saturdays only at 1400-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9420, S9+20 into UTwente, April 9 after 1600, pop song in
English, ``nobody sings...``, 1610 announcement NOT in Greek. Much
more music variety past 1700, which except for occasional non-Greek
talk atop music bed, like 1619, 1629, 1650, could be mistaken for
Voice of Greece format, and not what you would expect from the ChiCom
targeting their genocide victims in East Turkistan, for Aoki and EiBi
agree it`s CNR13 in Uyghur/Uighur:

9420 1600-1805 CHN CNR 13 Uyg Lingshi 725 1-7
9420 1400-1805 CHN China National Radio 13 UI TWN L
TWN in EiBi means target area Taiwan, really? in UIghur? L = Lingshi.

The music is generally soft, low-key, as if for the insomniax in
occupied Xinjiang -- or the enslaved shift-workers. Still going past
1756 and off 1805* as scheduled. Meanwhile no Greece at all on 9420,
active M-F only circa *1230v-1700v* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, April 9 at 1850, into UTwente, S9+30 open
carrier already on, R. Svoboda modulation starting early about 1858,
suspected site Armenia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SLOVAKIA [non]. 5985, April 9 at 0420, NO signal from RSI into
Virginia SDR, as this WRMI-2 is really off the air despite new
schedule listing R. Eslovaquia at 0400-0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.001, April 9 at 2309, still past 2321, S7 open carrier
with a bit of hum into UTwente, presumably VOT still on air but
failing to modulate any bonus German. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE. UR1 = YP1 webcast, April 9 at 1700 continues in Ukrainian,
no English segment as I hypothesized. Richard Langley:

``I believe that "Ukraine: security issue" is only broadcast once per
day and is likely recorded and inserted into the audio feed around
0000 UT (3 a.m. local time). At least it's not mentioned at other
times on the schedule:

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/schedule/period-items.html?channelID=1&date=2022-04-08
(example for yesterday; any date can be selected). But it might be
that certain hours of the schedule are repeated in whole or in part
during the 24-hour schedule including the one at 0000 UT. This is the
middle of the night after all. -- Richard Langley`` on the WOR iog
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 9 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, S9+5 into Maryland SDR; and 12 seconds
later on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG into nearby MO SDR. Next:

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

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, another direct check of unknown site, April 9 at
1458.5 tune-in, open carrier of S9/+10 is already on. 1459.6, ``You
are listening to VOMK [?], both in Dhivehi and English languages...``
, `Blessed Assurance` theme, ``Welcome to the second ... of Doing Good
... to our Enemies``. But only English, no Dhivehi heard yet. Once
again, the only known RBA frequency after 1500, 11825 in Burmese, is
JBA carrier to here, so RBA site really seems unlikely.

At 1509 it`s S7/S9 into Brisbane SDR as I start another TDOA attempt,
using Hanoi, Kuwait, Melbourne. At 1514 it finishes, displaying a
broad area of SE Australia, -39.35 and +143.05: hardly!

At 1510, trying Bandung, Switzerland, Perth: -62.50, -41.00 which is
in the S Atlantic between S Georgia and LRA36! Hardly2!

At 1524 I try KFS remote at Half Moon Bay, California: VG S9/+10. 1526
goes to music and chops off early at 1527.2* before any
announcements.

Dr Hansjoerg Biener replies on the WOR iog to my previous speculation
about this being via Reach Beyond Australia, which:

``Offers two kinds of schedules:
https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/on-air/#broadcast-schedule
with the languages in alphabetical order:

https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/wp-content/uploads/A22-Language-Edition.pdf
with a focus on programme names:

https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/wp-content/uploads/A22-Listener-Edition.pdf
So the listener edition does not refer to "public" as opposed to
"secret".

Voice of Martyrs is an organisation mainly concerned with supporting
persecuted Christians (and as you already noted there is no religious
freedom to practice any other faith than the state religion Islam). I
do not know in which way the Korean Voice of Martyrs might be
connected to the Voice of Martyrs founded by Richard Wurmbrand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_the_Martyrs
but Wurmbrand's VoM has always been an international organisation with
different kinds of ministry (including broadcasts in German via Radio
Luxemburg 1440 kHz many years ago). I also remember the many spots on
WHRI advertising their work until the end of WHRI.

In the late 90s, there were Christian broadcasts in Dhivehi to the
Maldives via FEBA Radio. In April 1998 FEBA radio started a weekly
programme produced by Back to the Bible in Sri Lanka. The 30 minutes
featured Christian music and a Christian commentary on a general
theme. There was a negative reaction from the Maldives government and
the broadcast was stopped for a while.

»The programmes were taken off air due to the opposition of the
Maldivian authorities which included the detention of Christian
believers and expulsion of several expatriates from the islands.«
(FEBA Radio News Jan-Mar 1999, p.1.).

It restarted in September 1999 and was also on the air in 2000, but I
never researched in which year it was taken off the air (Dr Hansjoerg
Biener 9 April 2022)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2352 UT April 9

** BRAZIL. 28409 USB, April 8 at 2128, PT9SS calling CQ DX, only S3
about equal to noise level and one of only two or three signals
audible on 10m TE. QRZ.com with some photos:

PT9SS Brazil flag Brazil
Sandro Rodrigues Pereira (SAN)
Viela José Daniel, 1971
Jardim Cangalha cep 79604-214 Tres Lagoas, MS
Brazil

His fonetix are ``papa tango nine sugar sugar`` --- look, the proper S
going with those P and T is sierra! So many hams mix up their fonetix
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1430 kHz, April 8 at 2105 UT on caradio in Enid I am
finally checking out KALV, in the occasional spots where the powerline
and stoplight noise abates a bit. Two weak signals but the dominant is
country music, not sports or talk, making a SAH of about 5 Hz. By 2127
I`m on home rig with similar reception, slightly better on N/S
internal shortwire: ``Hometown radio station Stereo 1430, KALV; tell a
friend``. No mention of FM; they had a translator on 99.5.

FCC info in NRC DX News as of April 4 reported:

``KALV OK Alva – Granted STA, U1 60/60 (maybe using D1 60), wildfire
damage.``

Its licensed parameters are U4 500 500 psra 500 per NRC AM Log.

Among all the wildfires around OK, I missed hearing about KALV when it
happened, but searching on wildfire Alva leads right to several
versions of March 21-22, including:
https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-wildfire-alva-destroys-radio-station/39495071

Own website does not load properly
https://kalvradio.com/?page_id=72

But coverage maps are also at
https://radio-locator.com/info/KALV-AM

Day pattern is slightly pulled in from the east, presumably to protect
sportstalk KTBZ Tulsa but which is more like ESE, and Enid is more
like SE --- but KALV has never had much of a signal in Enid. Distance
is only 70 km = 43 statute miles.

Night pattern quite different, very pulled in from the NE, presumably
to protect St Louis, the 50/5 kW station whose license was canceled
two years ago and which I think is no longer on the air, most of the
KALV night signal broadly from NW to SW to SE.

So the question is, are KALV still running only 60 watts STA? That
much non-direxional might be better here than the old higher-power
direxional facility. What kind of antenna now? Stations under duress
sometimes even use longwires to transmit. Or maybe the towers survived
unlike the transmitter (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, Sat April 9 at 0500.6-0507.6, UR1 via WRMI
with now reliable English segment `Ukraine: Security Issues` leading
of course with the RuSSian airstrike on the train platform killing
many; VG S9+15 into Maryland remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 15580, April 8 at 2133, S3-S8 of VOA presumably `Music
Time in Africa` scheduled Fridays at 2105 tho the DJockesse has been
unaware of this airing; Via BOTSWANA, 100 kW at 350 degrees. And not
perceptibly off-frequency. The best we can do in A-seasons, lacking GB
11720 in B-seasons this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: confirmed just in
time at 0158 UT Sat April 9 the 0130 on WRMI 9395, S5/S6 into UTwente
which I happen to have running after Ukraine check at 0000 on 1386.

Also confirmed UT Sat April 9 at 0400 on R Angela via WBCQ 4790, S9+15
into Maryland SDR.

Once again there are uteblaaps QRMing, and I time them occurring on a
regular schedule other than exactly 4:00 minutes apart as last time.
Now there are two different cycles each exactly 3:00 minutes apart:
one at top of minutes 0415, 0418, 0424, 0427; and another at about :45
seconds past these minutes: 0416, 0419, 0425, 0428. (Assume I missed
the ones at 0421, 0422+.) I leave the same remote running after WBCQ
off at 0430* --- and no more blaaps! I had always assumed this was
some kind of external QRM, but now I am forced to wonder if they were
also coming out of a defective 4790 WBCQ transmitter? OR, if external,
they were not coincidental, accidental, but deliberately to annoy ---
hardly jam --- WBCQ? I have not been paying much attn to the SDR
waterfalls, but I do spot some rectangles a few kHz above and below
4790 line which could represent the blaaps. But there is no time
calibration on vertical scale of the H2Ofalls. Curious. Next:

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat April 9 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`.
Gives date right at the start! So we know it`s new, altho with same
old far-right rants. Angela`s mike is on already this week. Angela has
been picking up tix out horseback-riding, so Allan grooms her body?
Plugs great Trump rallies every Saturday: Trump has got to come back
``to fix everything`` --- they axually believe that. Both require
reading glasses, where are they? Allan is a Man of Science: believes
in vax, not in max. Two print mags he has subscribed since highschool
are Star & Telescope, and Scientific American. Fast fwd:

By 0030 he`s amid James Careless` Radio World article about BBC at 90.
Approves of Elon Musk who has bought controlling interest in Twitter,
so will promote Free Speech. ? I thought it was less than controlling
interest? 0038 Allan remarx that the Russians are jamming Ukrainian
broadcasts. Really? Capture and/or destroy transmitters like 549 kHz,
but jamming?? Uncle Bill`s comments about radio being a medium which
bonds with listeners, unlike internet. 0048 datestamp as 8th of April
YOOLF 2022, presumably trimulcasting u.o.s. Next month will be doing a
lot of transmitter work, both SuperStition and Classic; also needs to
get 2 MW generator hooked up. 0056 decrying perceived ``war on
gender`` -- there are only two and you are stuck with however you were
born. 0100 prayer; 0101 JIP Hal Turner late as always (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0527 UT April 9

** COLOMBIA. The ``it`` in my last report was of course:
La Voz de tu Conciencia = The Voice of Thy Conscience:

``6010, April 7 at 0700, JBA signal in Spanish? Yes, later April 7 at
2230, Rafael Rodríguez reported it reactivated after a long time with
preaching by Stendal, NA at 2300; and RR is the 100% e-QSL manager to
rafaelcoldx@yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2133)``

6010, April 8 at 0705, heard LVC again, better S8/S9 with song in
Spanish. No, nothing on 5910, its former sibling station, Alcaraván
Radio. Might that revive too from Puerto Lleras? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9778-9833, April 8 at 0613, approx. range of bleed from
wall-of-noise jamming against nothing on 9805, i.e. plus/minus 27/28
kHz, overkill. Always incompetent and unconcerned about collateral
damage, the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [and non]. 6030, April 8 at 1559.5, Artists for Peace
special event, live benefit concert from Königswusterhausen, via
AUSTRIA on this frequency, VG S9+35/40 into UTwente, much better than
// 9580 via Nauen. Opening with orchestra and chorus but not the
now-familiar Ukrainian national anthem. Huge variety of music and
performers, instruments, with lots of commentary mostly in German, but
occasional Ukrainian. One English heard at 1656 about power of music,
with frequencies. 1646 accordion. 1747 a Russian pianist with a
flutist. Publicity said there would be 31 performers from seven
nations. Could hardly fit all those into only two hours scheduled,
1600-1800. Both continue past 1800, but those tuned to 9580 find it
soon off. 6030 keeps on going as I listen via UTwente. 1832 YL in
Ukrainian; 1840 finally wrapping up in German, 1842 Ukrainian, 1842.7*
uncovering something else weakly on 6030. See

** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Fri Apr 8 at 1659, S9+45 unGreek music with
heavy reverb, very exotic so presumably China already? No, must have
been ERT since this chops off at 1700 uncovering what is really a
China minority service on 9420.002, S9+30/40 into UTwente (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. (5910), we`ve lost track of the weekly Friday-only
clandestine at 1730-1800v of Channel 1 TV, which had been regular in
B21; but in A22, Romania has overtaken that slot, in Serbian. Did Ch 1
move to another frequency and/or time due to DST in Iran? Lots of luck
finding anything about radio, let alone SW, even if converted to
English, at https://ch1.cc/

I`m far too busy at 1730 April 8 to go on a random hunt for it by
tuning, but I do check the latest HFCC for any likely-looking
replacement from TAChkent site at 1730 on day 6: No fits. Then I
search on all the broadcasts starting at 1730 from all sites: no fits
either. So is the SW relay of this still going anywhere? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 918 kHz, Fri April 8 at 1915, Spanish PSA from OMS = WHO,
1916 `Counterspin` on IRRS via AM Italia, not only on MW 1323 kHz
Villa Estense, but reactivated on 918, which is much better with no
QRM into nearby Noale SDR, since Madrid 918 has gone dark. See also
USA [and non] WOR monitoring. Counterspin is chopped off only halfway
thru at 1930 for IRRS Milan ID and Feature Story News. Airing
fragments of programs is the most annoying thing about IRRS even when
not done to WOR.

1935 joins VOA News rather than `Flashpoint Ukraine` which follows VOA
news at 1930 on WRMI 15770. 1940, 918 into music; 1945 American PSA
for brushing teeth. 1946 starts `Shortwave Report` with Dan Roberts;
will it be halved as well? He starts with Sputnik Radio, then to be
NHK Radio Japan, Radio Habana Cuba --- seems Dan is still stuck on the
same old stations. Shortwave! indeed, Sputnik is not on SW, but
recorded from web probably like the others. Dan says he has now
completed 25 years of the `SW` Report. Starts NHK segment but has QRM
from Turkey`s `Feeling Supreme` theme! So maybe really from SW, or did
IRRS do that? 1958 anyway SWR chopped off by IRRS for more VOA News!
across hourtop; 2003 Feature Story News again. 2007 songs. Then
another talk program about pavilions, from UN? 2020 Spanish PSA about
COVID19/UNESCO/OMS, more songs until 2030 ID with PO Box address
otherwise discouraged, and WOR 2133.

Alfredo Cotroneo replies: ``Glen[n], There are and will be occasional,
unscheduled, tests on 918, but we are more interested in propagation
outside Italy into Central and Northern Europe, including the war
zones. 1323 is doing better than 918 for long time propagation. Good
news that the Spanish station in not interfering now on 918, but they
may come back, who knows? Alfredo `` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15785, Fri April 8 at 1508 in routine bandscan, I
discover anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH on new frequency, the
signature vocalizations of Josiah needing no explicit ID. No problem
from the 1 kW DRM in Germany allegedly 24h on 15780-15790 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15529.9, April 8 at 1509, JBA carrier off-frequency, not
taking time to measure it more precisely. HFCC at 1500-1600 has AWR in
Kxf language via Trincomalee. Kxf?? Aoki abbreviates it Kar. EiBi KA
which means Karen, as in the Myanmar minority; not scheduled as such
in WRTH 2022 for B-21 season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: 5985 WRMI-2 still
off the air at 0330 April 8, since NHK Spanish at 0400 quit after
March 31. I did not check after 0400 but the WRMI skedgrid now shows
R. Eslovaquia = Spanish from System B on WRMI-2 at 0400-0430. Yet the
System B program grid below, mainly about 9955 does not, only Prague
on 9955. The System D program schedule for the 0330-0400 segment on
``5985`` still appears with WOR and various other programs during the
week. Contradixion after contradixion.

Missed checking Friday April 8 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear WOR?

Confirmed Friday April 8 at 1815 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, but
even at nearby Noale SDR, under QRM from Romania in German. I also
check 918 kHz, and surprise2, it`s also on the air with WOR, and much
better with no QRM as R. Inter, Madrid has gone silent again. AFAIK
there has been no publicity from IRRS about 918 still in use. I had
not even sought it for several weeks, assuming it was gone once 1323
had replaced it. But without QRMadrid, 918 would be better to use than
1323. Also checked LW 207 kHz, with some music not // but presumably
not Iceland. See also ITALY!

Of course, WOR also on 7290 via Bulgaria from 1815 Friday VG into
UTwente, and also JBA on 14580 second harmonic vs RTTY on plus side.

Also confirmed Friday April 8 at 2030 UT on AM Italia, equally VG

** U S A. 9950 & 9960, April 8 at 0616, JBA carriers, parasitic spurs
out of 9955 WRMI which is S9+20. Difficult to distinguish any audio on
9950 & 9960 with huge splash out of 9955 itself. And some poor 2-way
USB is trying to communicate about 9960.2. But there`s more:

9965, April 8 at 0618, a further spur with TOMBS audio JBA // 9955.
And a matching JBA carrier on 9945. Something`s odd at Okeechobee
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, April 8 at 1502, another English sermon about
``doing good`` from Voice of Martyrs, Korea, S7/S9 direct. Pastor Tim,
who is a WOR iog member, acknowledges as a test for Maldives, but site
is confidential. How about Reach Beyond Australia, Kununurra?:

PRO:
RBA has not replied to my inquiry.
They have 3 x 100 kW transmitters
Only one is on their public schedule after 1400

https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/wp-content/uploads/A22-Listener-Edition.pdf
Since this is a ``listener edition``, that implies there is another
internal edition with secret broadcasts not to be acknowledged
RBA already carries VOMK in Korean at another time
RBA has many broadcasts for S Asia before 1400 with suitable antennas
It`s a clear shot across the Indian Ocean, ideal distance
Puts a good signal into North America otherwise tho never beamed
thisaway

CON:
Checked the one RBA at 1520 April 8, to Myanmar on 11825, only JBA
carrier
Why would one VOMK broadcast on RBA be public and another secret?
RBA has not replied to my direct inquiry
There are still plenty of other possible sites. Everyone invited to
investigate with TDOA.

Why would this Korea-based ministry go after Maldivians? Sunni Islam
is the only allowed religion as explained in great detail here:

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/indian-ocean/mv-religion.htm
The partner station may be unwilling to risk offending their own
Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

in slight variation or margin of error (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 6010, April 7 at 0700, JBA signal in Spanish? Yes, later
April 7 at 2230, Rafael Rodríguez reported it reactivated after a long
time with preaching by Stendahl, NA at 2300; and RR is the 100% e-QSL
manager to rafaelcoldx@yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2133)

** CUBA [and non]. 9955, April 7 at 0625, Brother Scare on WRMI vs
Cuban pulse jamming, tsk2, long after there is ever any Spanish
programming, let alone exile. This jamming is weaker than on 9805
which is stronger than on 9565; 11930 & 11860 also still jammed
against no Martíes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [and non]. 9420, April 7 at 1648, VOG has not shut down yet,
but only slightly weaker CCI from the China station, some say is in
Kazakh, others in Uighur. ERT does stop at 1700* leaving the other in
clear, S9+15/20 into UTwente with music, 1702 ``Burasi ---`` Turkic ID

into UTwente SDR; and another, April 8 at 0000-0009 approx. I still
need to check UR1 webcast whether this originally air at 1700+ UT as

Confirmed first airings UT Fri Apr 8 at 0130 on WRMIs: 7730 S9+10/20
and 5850 S9+20/25 both into Missouri SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Just in early UT April 8, a reply to my inquiry about
the 11620 station, just too late to include on WOR 2133!:

``Hi Glenn, Thanks for your email and thank you for all the work you
do on behalf of short-wave radio.

Yes - this is a new broadcast that is intended for the Maldives. It is
currently in English, but we hope to have more and more content in
Dhivehi shortly.

Due to our agreement with our radio broadcast partner, we are unable
to share the location of the transmission.

Additionally, we will be starting a Chinese language short-wave
station on May 1st. These are of course in addition to our ongoing
Korean language broadcasts that are intended for North Korea. We are
convinced of the need and value of short-wave broadcasts in light of
oppressive regimes around the world.

Thanks, Tim [Dillmuth, Pastor], VOM Korea``

Meanwhile, I logged it again April 7 at *1459, joining in progress the
TV soundtrack with the same preacher as before, fair-poor into UTwente
and some other remotes; at 1521 direct, S8/S9+10; 1526 weakening with
deep fading; 1528 `Blessed Assurance` theme; 1529:20 other music and
maldives@vomkorea.com contact address quite clear this time and off
before 1530*. So it`s up to us to figure out whence (Glenn Hauser, OK,
