** BRAZIL. 15189.895 approx., April 18 at 2330, S1/S3 in Brazuguese,
so R. Inconfidência, Belo Horizonte, the only ZY left on 19m. For a
long time it had been on the plus side of 15190, but others have also
been reporting it on the minus lately. Seems quite low-powered, but
better chance here than on 6010 if on air at all (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHILE. 28490 USB, April 17 at 2133, CE7VP, Javier on Chiloé island
in Patagonia, working US stations and then CO5AT Cuba. 10m is hardly
wide open but this guy really gets out; heard him before with details.
Only other signal now is algo on 28435 USB. And as usual, not a trace
of any CW beacons in the 28150-28350 range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15760, April 18 at 0244, S5/S7 Chinese with heavy flutter:
Aoki lists nothing here but CNR1 jamming and Sound of Hope (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530, April 18 at 1425, Chinese S7/S9 vs CODAR; JBA
carriers also on 13130, 13020, all well-established Sound of Hope and
consequently CNR1 jammer frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, April 18 at 0222, no signal in English from this RHC,
leaving only 6165 for that, S9+10/40 somewhat undermodulated.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. At 0605, RHC English only on 6165 and
6060; 5040 in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5055, April 18 at 0224, JBA carrier, no doubt the 5025/5040
leapfrog mixing product another 15 kHz beyond; but no reverse leap
upon 5010, where weakish WRMI is heard alone. 5055 at 0607 April 18
bears some JBA music. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11860, April 18 at 0622, wall-of-noise S6/S7 jamming against
nothing while 11930 is ditto at S7/S8. Radio Martí frequencies NEVER
in use at night: the incompetent DCJC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9640, April 18 at 2336, RHC music somewhat undermodulated
and distorted compared to // 11760 and weaker // 9535. Used before but
a new? frequency now for the transmitter which used to be on 9710
until switch to 9650 at 0000. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9490.053V, April 18 at 0230, Radio República ID, via
RMI via FRANCE is S9+20 and slightly wavering making measurement a
chore, but here at one instant; as usual, this defective transmitter
dedicated to it. But is well over jamming if any (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. Correxion: Brazilian time in this corrected, not 2215-2230:

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 2215-2330 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: (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ERITREA. 7140, April 18 at 0257, steady JBA carrier no doubt VOBME
INTRUDING in the ham band; but not the other VOBME 7180, nor Ethiopia
7110, yet? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11995, April 18 at 0625 African language S5/S7, 0628-0630*
song. It`s RFI in Hausa at 0600-0630 & 0700-0730 daily (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TAJIKISTAN. 15515, April 18 at 0245, preacher in English, S7/S9
with heavy flutter. Aoki shows it`s AWR via Orzu at 0200-0300 daily.
Should include Wavescan but not known to do so. Nice of the Tajix who
are 90% Moslem to accommodate Protestants; allegedly religious freedom
exists now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. I`m not a big Doctor Who fan, so can`t get roped into
rerun marathons, whether seen already or not, but seeking adventure,
would not mind watching a totally new episode on BBC America, like
April 17 first at 1810 UT and an `extended` replay April 18 at 0000,
`Legend of the Sea Devils`. Extensions were a few minutes of
behind-the-scenes actor interviews, totally breaking characters.

But I have the same old complaints about how BBC/Am handle it ---
quite apart from the original produxion values, SFX, and the story:

1) Commercial breaks are extremely abrupt, annoying: cut to and cut
from, no fade to black, nothing to bump. Perhaps the original on BBC
plays uninterrupted, and no thought has been given into natural
act/scene breaks, but that`s no excuse.

2) Various British accents and general mumbleness of some of the
actors: try as I must, cannot always understand every word; even with
stereo headphones and nothing to distract. Recommended however for
full impact of the music and ambiance.

3) Therefore, closed captions are required, which means I can`t watch
it with someone else who finds them obtrusive.

4) But the CC flash on and off far too rapidly, quite apart from the
original rate of speech. Even the two-liners get only a second or
split second on screen, not always enough time for me, anyway, to read
them! Of course they have to keep up with the dialog, but instead of
leaving one caption on until the next one, there is always an
unnecessary pause between them when one might have been
reading/absorbing each in full. The CC are of course from script
synched with the original, not applied on-the-fly live later, so there
is NO excuse for this.

5) Somehow there is not much gore to be seen, but it wouldn`t be DW
without extreme violence. It`s in the genes.

6) The Dr`s roots are showing: even in this fantastical universe,
obviously fake blonding is a thing.

7) There are no closing credits, as exhibited here. Tough luck, crew.
Only major opening credits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 17 from 2001 UT on IRRS via AM Italia: unlike Friday, today both
918 and 1323 are running //. Into nearby Noale SDR, 918 is much
better, S9+15 sometimes cutting to S9+8, experimenting? While 1323 is
only S9 and much noisier. They were // with rock music earlier tuning
in at 1955.

Also confirmed Sun Apr 17 at 2243 the 2230 on WRMI-8 5950, S8/S9 into
Knoxville SDR. Yes, still appearing tho deleted weeks ago from the
System L sked grid for ``Harlene Summers``, ever pending? Fine with
me.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 18 at 0030 on WRMI-13 7780, S8/S9+5
into Knoxville SDR with some storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 18 from 0302 on Area 51 via WBCQ,
6159.949, S9/+10 into Knoxville with ACI de 6165 Cuba. W8BUG SDR think
WWV 5000 is +22 Hz off! So must subtract 22 from where it thinx WBCQ
be, minus 29/30 Hz already. Johnny Lightning had ``Gotta Go`` at 0300
so after a long pause, WOR started 2 minutes late. But I caught the
end of me before 0331 so was complete. By 0333 I was hearing Morse
code, apparently not HRI: see separate report. I suspect HRI does not
do a new show every week, so subject to pre-emptions?

WOR 2134 also confirmed UT Tuesday April 19 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 &
9455 both S9+30 into Missouri SDR, and synchronized virtually
identical, except modulation on 9455 has a bit more bass. Next:

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

** U S A. 5950, eQSL received from TRSW for Howdy Neighbor Oklahoma,
UT April 17 at 0000-0100 via WRMI:
https://www.w4uvh.net/TRSW_HowdyNeighbor_Oklahoma_eQSL_WRMI_Hauser.pdf
Or #133 via http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html

The reply came from Terry Colgan who has been handling TRSW publicity,
and is now openly producer of these shows. He also says:

``The announcers you hear are real people, not synths. We recruited
friends to read scripts for a couple of programs each, so you’ll
listen to different voices in the following months. Salli announced
the Oklahoma program and does next week’s salute to New Mexico.
Elizabeth, Sara, and Michelle will be heard during May. We have two
guys announcing soon, Guy and Eric. By Summer’s end, we’ll select a
permanent male and female announcer. Tune in anytime you want to hear
music by Texas artists and about the state. Our program schedule’s
attached. Regards and 73. tc Terry Colgan, Producer. Texas Radio
Shortwave, http://www.facebook.com/texasradiosw
It’s the ONLY place to be!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, April 17 at 2140, classical music on WRMI-9, still
too much of a rarity. I bet it`s R. Prague Int`le in French, which
features such a Sunday concert: yes, exactly per System H WRMI
skedgrid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, April 18 at 0226, WRMI-4 is AWOL again which happens
quite a bit; but April 19 at 0050 it`s back with TOMBS cult. Also off
and on, the 4975 JBA parasitic spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4790, April 18 at 0227, Bach Brandenburg Concerto as a
string of them featured on this week`s Radio Angela `Concert Hall` on
WBCQ; S9+10 with lite CODAR QRM, but the high storm noise level
prevents any enjoyment.

Say, why not escape it up to the 11 or 13 MHz band? WBCQ is anything
but frequency-agile. One transmitter must stay on one frequency unless
there be a permanent change, not undertaken lightly, I guess requiring
grinding a new crystal and other laborious adjustments (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.949, UT Mon April 18 at 0333, following WORLD OF RADIO
q.v. on Area 51 via WBCQ, some Morse code, not Hobart Radio
International as usually, despite being on the A51 program sked for
this date. I keep listening and switch to the A51 webcast to hear, on
and on, some `radio art` produxions from a wide variety of sources,
`Short Wave - Long Distance`. Evidently this was a project involving
Wave Farm, Winter SWL Fest, NASWA, David Goren. I found this about it
on the agenda for the 2022 fest, UT Saturday March 5:

``0400-0600 The best of “Short Waves/Long Distance” 2022
Huzzah! It’s the return of Short Waves/Long Distance, a world wide
open call for compositions using shortwave sounds. SW/LD is sponsored
by NASWA, Wave Farm and Montez Press Radio to celebrate the 35th
Winter SWL Fest and Wave Farm’s 25th anniversary. <wavefarm.org>
——``

An ID mentioned 7570 WRMI, where this apparently was originally
broadcast. Meanwhile, a quick check of 6160- sometime after 0400 found
it had defaulted to the TOMBS cult, so SW/LD was webcast only. I
listened to the whole thing until 0530 back to A51 fill music. Too bad
there was no advance publicity about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, April 18 at 0236, S9+30 of dead air, must be WTWW-3
which is mainly active before sunset nominally for Ukraine; Tedson
forgot to turn it off? Guess what: for once TWO OTHER WTWWs are also
on air now, 5085 & 5830, so it is possible to run three at once:
unless I have been fooled by some other carrier on 9940 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, April 18 at 0620, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu 3945 x
2; while 11835 = 3945 x 3 is S7/S9 in conversation. 0632 somehow calls
itself ``Voice of Papua New Guinea`` and I think some other nearby
countries. Next song: ``Leavin` on a Jet plane`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12004.50 LSB, April 18 at 0239, 2-way contact in
Spanish, or rather a multi-way net, INTRUDERS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17925.3 USB, April 17 at 2137, one side of a Spanish
contact, as if an ham; background noise surges in vox pauses. This is
supposed to be an aeronautical band. First time in many months I have
heard *anything* on it as I frequently cross it between the BC band
below and the real ham band above. Could be drug smuggler with
aircraft engine noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0249 UT April 19

** 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?

** 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

** VANUATU. 11835, April 16 at 0616, S4/S7 talk from R. Vanuatu, 3 x
3945 still harmonicizing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1909 UT April 16

** 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?

** 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:

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.

** U S A. 9330, April 15 at 1434, World`s Last Chance via WBCQ as I am
tuning by to find its signal weaker than the 9200 carrier, see
UNIDENTIFIED, is in matter-of-`fact` conversation about how the world
is flat, yet don`t worry about falling off the edge; then with
``evidence`` despite the alleged 40 MM circumference of a sphere. 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)
