** AUSTRALIA. 11945, March 18 at 1350, VG S9/+10 discussion about word
games improving cognition, seems reasonable but winds up invoking
Jesus. Of course it`s RBA with the Ozish accents, closing before 1400*
ID and to resume at 1330 tomorrow for India -- way offbeam over here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6165, March 18 at 0611, RHC English is back here,
but about equal level to Arabic! which is NHK via FRANCE at 0600-0630,
adding up to S9+20. But RHC English in the clear on 6060, 6100.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 5910, Friday March 18 at 1730 another check for the
weekly Channel 1 TV audio clandestine from Canoga Park, believed via
Uzbekistan: into UTwente, no signal promptly but carrier with hum on
at *1730:28, S9/+10 and cut on modulation bit of music at 1732:07,
soon YL talk in presumed Farsi; may have mentioned ``megahertz``? Like
last week, not only starts late but ends late, running past 1800 until
1802 cut mod, 1802:15* cut carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [and non]. 7290, Friday March 18 at 1900:49, IRRS modulation
starts on Bulgacarrier already on, rock music which must be Radio City
as expected pre-empting other programming on 3rd Friday of month
including WOR at 1915; occasional hyper DJ such as at 1910. Usual ACI
from 7295 ChiCom.

1323 kHz, AM Italia, Villa Estense with same instead of WOR but heavy
CCI from Romania`s ethnic German minority service also playing music
at 1906 March 18; as heard by Noale SDR near AM Italia (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 350 MCW kHz, March 18 at 0623 UT, cannot copy any ID from
RG, 400 watt NDB at Will RoGers World Airport, OKC, just the carrier,
unusual. This one has persisted while PN, EI and SW are AWOL, tho PN
just came back, q.v. RG ID is there at 1817 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, March 18 at 0620 UT, 25-watt ND beacon PN at
PoNca City is finally resuscitated! Had been silent since February 23.
Also still on at 1811 check (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) See U S A

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 18 at 1903, R. Svoboda probably via
Armenia, but with quite a racket QRM - jamming or feed or transmission
or local QRM to UTwente SDR or SDR own problem? I then check 9370 via
Izhevsk, Russia SDR and find it clear! 1905 R. Svoboda ID and English
blurt ``murderous dictator``. If it be deliberate jamming, by skip
zone it`s bad in Holland but not at all in that part of Russia! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Friday March 18 at 2300, REE English succeeds today,
VG, and almost as good on 11940, 12030 into Maryland SDR; even 11685
is sufficient with slight RTTY QRM. In A-22 from March 27, 17855
replaces 9690 with quite different propagation, 15520 ex-12030. 2309
today`s feature is about the ILO and COVID, seems a rerun (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, March 18 at 2300, VOT English to us is
absent today, no signal even unto UTwente, nor at 2324 check when
nothing but EAST TURKISTAN, XJPBS Xinjiang in Chinese, land of ChiCom
imperialist genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems.

6125, however, next broadcast is poorly audible at 0440 March 19, hum
and undermodulated thin-voiced YL, music, into Ohio SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 19 at 0508 tune-in, Ukrainian Radio hour
via WRMI is in English with very rapid news summary until 0510 back to
UU. Is it safe to assume there will not be another English segment
later in hour? Need to catch it from 0500 opening whether English
start immediately, VG S9+15 into Ohio SDR I still have running
conveniently while at the computer completing this lengthy report
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, March 18 at 0621, HRU, 25-watt ND beacon at
Herington KS is finally copiable vs slightly diminished local
neighborhood high noise level. For weeks could only detect the carrier
of one of my closer day & night signals, altho the storm noise level
is higher, maybe an inverse relationship? Also at 1813 JBA. Noise
peaking circa 395 kHz altho slightly diminished, not enough to
audiblize two other KS beacons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18155.9 USB, March 18 at 1819, W1AW, the ARRL station in
Newington CT operated by Nick making contacts, slightly off-frequency
- or no such thing within hambands, but odd (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: since the UT
Friday 0130 broadcast has been canceled by WRMI, first airing is now
0330 UT Friday on 5985, which just signs on at that bottom-of-the-hour
time; in the run-up announced repeatedly as ``top-of-the-hour`` by the
clueless BBB. Unfortunately aimed south, March 18 as usual VP here.
Best signal should be grabbed in Colombia but no active Kiwis there
now, let alone Bonaire. Boca Ratón FL is too far for groundwave, too
close for skywave. Other Caribbean, S American sites are not getting
listenable signal if any, nor even Maryland. Best results are directly
off the back at a reasonable distance to Athens GA S8-S9 with fading
but less noise than stronger Knoxville TN S9+10. They all need USB or
AM-narrow to avoid Cuban jamming bleed from 5980.

9955, now with DST, WOR is to resume on WRMI at 1430 Friday --- but
it`s off the air! Confirmed anyway on webcast. Still off at 1809
check, unknown when resumed but going circa 2300.

Also confirmed UT Saturday March 19 at shifted time of 0130 on WRMI
9395, S9+20 into Maryland SDR, but fading way down by 0157 check.

Also confirmed UT Saturday March 19 from 0359.8 on R. Angela WBCQ
4790. This time I`ve settled on the WB8CXO remote in Ohio, S9/+10 and
not too much whine except in fades, no CODAR, but sporadic uteblaaps.

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Mar 19 at 0000, new hour-earlier time for
`AAAWWW` on WBCQ webcast, SW not even checked. Not a repeat. Mostly
monolog by Allan: first arguing with Angela over whether her mike be
on. Temp today was 90F, now just heard some thunder with lightning
[yes, Blitzortung shows storm line right over FL]. ``Radio strikes
back`` against the ills of the age. Some dickhead has been jamming
7490 during Hal Turner, says has had jamming before, which is close to
being treason, punishable by death.

We are now in Cold War 2.0. SW stations are becoming more important.
Could Classic BCQ broadcast to Russia, Ukraine? Not really with
antennas for N America. SuperStition could do it but not sure whether
WLC is going to. Needs to upgrade other transmitters to 100 kW, and
has started a gofundme. Still charges same rates as when signed on in
1998 since most programmers could not afford the real cost. Will add
more programs before/after the Radio Angela 2-hour block on 4790. See
website for schedule of that [NO, it is still not on there, as I
check:
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=4790
which still shows nothing but Dead Brother Scare!]

Bill Tilford also tells him that, so Allan calls for Larry Will,
webmaster, to get with it. Apparently Allan doesn`t inspect his own
website very often. Allan says he is ``always upfront, doesn`t hold
anything back``, e.g. from the winter cold in Maine he ``almost died``
which is why they operate remotely from Deland of Fla, depending on
their great staff back in Maine. A&A hold a daily lunch-hour Soviet on
the porch to discuss station and marital issues, recommended.

`BCQ should be around for years; it`s totally owned by A&A, debt- and
mortgage-free. Their cellphones are on 24/7 like the broadcast
business in case there is an emergency.

0043 finally datestamp as 18th of March YOOLF 2022, from Studio 9
where it`s 78 degrees, humidity 70% and rising, and 0044 introduces
`Angela`s Angle`, for her own commentary/rant -- but she is not
prepared to render it. They had a great St Patrick`s party last night
at a neighbor`s, best corned beef he had ever had, breaking his mostly
vegetarian diet.

Fishing around for reading glasses which both of them need; to refer
to a Radio World article by Rick Wagner about a Denon TU68? radio from
the 90s which had CQUAM AM stereo; and how great AM sound can be if
bandwidth allowed up to 9 kHz rather than 3. That might give AM radio
a new lease on life. At BCQ they push the AM bandwidth on SW as far as
they can with the 5 kHz limit.

0054 to email. Goal is to raise $ 10 million in order to buy and
preserve operational some other SW facilities [not including WHRI, I
assume]. Ultimately maybe an endowment, privately owned, NOT
governmental. Guess what: someone else tells him the donate button on
website does not work either, nor does it yet show gofundme. Larry?
0059 prayer; running late again, joining Hal Turner when he has
already started at 0101 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, March 18 at 1902, quick check of WRMI via UTwente:
poor but in English, presumably still back with R. Prague after
Wednesday-only test of RFPI in Russian. But that`s now on the RFPI
skedgrid as Wed only rather than daily at 1900-1930 on 15770 within
the otherwise mostly-9955, blue-green System B sked! RFPI already has
several 1-hour blox, presumably French, but the only 15 minute one, UT
Fri 0145-0200 blowing away the first airing of WOR, is now suffixed UA
- meaning UkrAine? Altho we thought it was in Rusky Yazik (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. On that `CBS4` Miami interview about WRMI, Jeff White said
they have fourteen 100-kW transmitters. However, WRTH 2022 shows 12 x
100 kW, and 1 x 50 kW. There are never 14 transmitters on the air at
once per the skedgrid; but all are running for at least a few hours.
In past one or two have been totally `standby`. The most active hours
are 00-02 with twelve frequencies running; all other hours have eleven
or less.

Another oddity at Okeechobee: 9395 & 9455 are allegedly both 100 kW
and same azimuth 355. But comparing them on remotes such as Maryland
at 0130 March 18, 9395 is *much* stronger, S9+20 while 9455 is JBA
S6-S7 and barely makes a trace on the waterfall (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5085, March 18 at 0614, WTWW-2 is S9+20/30 of dead air, or a
trace of modulation, and some hum; and the JBA parasitic spur carriers
circa 5072 & 5098. Ted offdozed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, March 18 at 0617, S9+30 of dead air from WWCR,
competing for the Tennessee DA Sweepstakes with 5085 WTWW. But the
other three WWCRs are nominally modulating, 3215, 5890, 5935. No one
paying attention at 1300 WWCR Ave, yay! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 333 MCW kHz, March 18 at 0624 UT, JBA beacon, second
letter V, and the first seems like 6. At DXinfocentre no fits and
nothing at all on 334, but could really be 335 as I am tuning USB: BV
in Batesville AR would be a close fit, 25 watts heard before; also CV,
Clovis NM, 25W (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0518 UT March 19

** CUBA. 9535, March 17 at 0458, aha, RHC S9:5 into Maryland SDR,
opening ``second hour`` in English after Spanish --- but chopped off
the air at 0500* as a mistake. Something`s always wrong at RHC. I
switch to 6000 where English continues, and 6165 but unusually weak
S7/S8 with ACI from WBCQ. 9700 is Turkey and 6145 Romania.

Further chex March 17: at 0637, English on 6165, now S9+40 with hum
during Mailbag; 6100 also English and hum S9+20; 6060 English at
S9+20/30. 6000 is off and 5040 in Spanish. And a JBA carrier on 6140
which is probably leapfrog of 6060 over 6100; no other ones heard on
6270 or 6230. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11880 after 2300 March 17, RHC again in English, maybe to stay (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [non]. 15770, March 17 at 1910, WRMI has resumed R. Prague
in English after yesterday`s test of RFPI in Russian; however, without
notice, what had been the first broadcast of WORLD OF RADIO at
0130-0200 UT Friday has been replaced March 18 by `Viva Miami` - and
RFPI! on the Systen F schedule, 5850 and 7780. This VM? segment
consisted of the CBS4 Miami report about WRMI and Shortwave for
Freedom; A. Schwarzenegger`s comments on the war, and the Ukrainian
NA; 0145 RFPI multilingual opening and their Russian program --- in
the middle of the night over there! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6920-, AM, March 17 at 0643, JBA music with heavy
beat and announcement, presumed the usual R. Pushka (rifle) Russian
ethnic pirate on its expansive schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 6145, March 17 at 0502, Romanian, S9/+10 into Maryland
SDR, RRI hour for W Europe from Galbeni, but certainly not available
for RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 17 at 0503 tune-in until 0506, WRMI new
relay of Ukrainian Radio in English segment, rapid translation and
back to Ukrainian. Wish they would put English at a reliable time and
length; another day there was no English in this span (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15120, March 17 at 1619, Spanish on the ATS-909 portable,
tnx to tip of Kenneth Vito Zichi of R. Martí on new frequency at 1530;
but gone by my 1644 recheck of St Lucia SDR. My explanation: likely
test or mistake at Grimesland, scheduled on 15120 only at 2130-2200
M-F for VOA Bambara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4790, UT Thu March 17 at 0300-0400, Radio Angela on WBCQ
with a great hour of Mexican mostly ranchera music on the new `Radio
Maria Bonita` program. I hunt around for best reception on a remote
close enough for a stronger signal but hopefully far enough away from
the continuous whine QRM across eastern USA, settle on Lorain, Ohio
but still with some whine, S9+15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0155 UT March 18

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 16 at 1508, LRA36 is active this
Wednesday, music, only S2/S3 into Brasília #1 SDR, no signal into
Campo. 1510 ``Nacional, la radio pública`` ID; 1519 Antártida
themesong, gone off by 1523 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28455 USB, March 16 at 2215, CE7VP, Javier is the only
signal on 10m -- good thing I bandscanned anyway, and no CW beacons
either. Says he is beyond Puerto Montt in southern Chile; island
sounds like pronounced ``Quiloé``, contact with WB7JB in Washington
state, even further than I, who am 9176 km = 5702 stmi; S4/S5, enough
to combat my local hi noise level. QRZ.com:

Then I scanned 12 m, nothing; 15m one unID phone; 17m a couple phone
signals, one Japanese sounding (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 16 at 1434, open carrier/dead air in Spanish
except for a squeal from RHC, S9+10/20 much stronger than 15230 which
does manage to modulate S8/S9. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 16 at 2226, RHC in French, S9+35 with hum, so
apparently on DST-adjusted schedule of 2200 French, 2230 Portuguese?,
2300 English.

11850, March 16 at 2227, RHC S9+20 but JBM, suptorted Spanish and
parasitic spur on 11840s. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [non]. 15770, Wed Mar 16 at 1900, Radio for Peace
International test in Russian as pre-publicized, via WRMI. If
successful, will be prolonged. Opens with multi-lingual ID, news in
Russian, occasional English IDs. VG into Maryland SDR but did not
check in Europe, more concerned with 9370 R. Svoboda, but see later
reports about that. That left a 15-minute gap before VOA news and
`Flashpoint Ukraine` on 15770 at 1930, so I wondered what would fill
at 1915? Old favorites from the World Music reel which Richard Langley
and Bruce Churchill identified as including: ``First piece was "Amores
Imortais" by Brazilian singer Eduardo Costa.`` Then more
``international music (Chariots of Fire, Verdum En Dibe Kadar
(Turkish), Da Fing Der Sommer Noch Einmal An” (German) and a short
interlude “Vraho Vraho” (Greek)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 15030, March 16 at 1434, JBA with Doppler flutter, i.e. AIR
Dari at 1330-1500 via Bengaluru - no more sesquihour in English! a
worthless language per AIR. BTW, is INTRUDER like any other
broadcaster within the 15.0-15.1 MHz off-route aeronautical band, i.e.
military; despite longstanding invasions pioneered by BBC on 15070
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 16 at 1900 I`m checking various remotes
to get a feel for reception on second day of R. Svoboda in Russian tnx
to the crowdfunding initiative via secret site. It`s audible at TWR
Bengaluru, India which certainly implies a ``central`` Asia site, only
poor but at S9/+10. Armenia would fit and be most convenient after a
known relay on MW 1395 the previous hour; really southwest Asia. Of
the Eurussian SDRs, best into Izhevsk, which is way east of Moskva, VG
S9+10 at 1906. At 1907 a beep and some jamming/OTH radar starts
continually covering +9200-9550 or so, but still audible. Occasionally
also beep and louder sweep tones intermittently. At 1920 I find
Bryansk ``CrazySDR`` is getting a sufficient S5/S6 signal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, March 16 at 2300 it`s Wednesday so REE in English,
feature to be about some American singer/songwriter, so over to TURKEY
instead, but first checking all four frequencies into Maryland SDR: VG
here and also 11940, 12030, while 11685 is noticeably weaker (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15704.874, March 16 at 1437, JBA carrier way
off-frequency, i.e. AWR in Chinese via Trincomalee. Also with Doppler
flutter as befits such a transpolar signal. ChiCom probably do not
bother to jam as harmless? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 17585, March 16 at 1431, JBA carrier with Doppler
flutter, presumably ChiCom jammer against VOA Tibetan via Biblis,
Germany, scheduled this hour only. Seemed OSOB until I came upon
another JBA carrier on 17885, which would be VOA English via Botswana,
this hour only. Nothing on Ascension or Mali frequencies: but per Aoki
the only one to be on at this moment would be CRI Mali on 17630 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 16 at 2309, VOT English VG today into UTwente
with just a hint of squeal, already into first feature, `Feeling
Supreme`, on natural ways to keep memory sharp, by nutrition (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 16 at 0500-0517+, Ukrainian Radio via
WRMI; some online casts have included segments in English, originally
after 0100 UT, but only Ukrainian language heard now. This is addition
to original 12-13 UT relay on 5010 - not part of Shortwave for Freedom
crowdfunding as WRMI relayed UR before that was formed. I`ve yet to
confirm/listen to that, too early (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Also confirmed UT Thu Mar 17 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, VG S9/+10 into
Maryland SDR, and much weaker 9455 S8/S9 even tho the pair are
allegedly exactly same parameters, 355 degree antennas. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Next WOR 2130 should be ready early UT Fri March 18 for first
broadcasts at 0130 on WRMIs 5850, 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475, March 16 at 1445, WTWW-1 surprisingly active on a
non-Sunday Wednesday, S9+20/30 with SFAW, so should 5085 WTWW-2 also
be running? No (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, March 16 at 2227, surprised to hear some ME
music here, no Martí and even less jamming. Also overcoming the JBA
parasitic spur of RHC 11850 matching the one in the clear on 11840.
Aoki & EiBi show Martí off at 2230; Aoki has Republic of Yemen Radio
in a 2-hour break 2200-2400; but EiBi and WRTH show this target
broadcast as 24 hours, presumed via SA`UDI ARABIA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 15 at 2258, Virginia SDR is getting music from
algo, I guess RHC, S9+10 and noisy, but then into deadair. Recheck at
2329, now it`s in English, so after flailing around a few days,
getting act together for English moved to 23-24 --- but at 2303 and
2329, 5040 is still in Spanish, not English. A different YL voice than
usual, something anti-American about Assange. Modulation is somewhat
distorted and scratchy on 11880. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Spanish, otherwise? at 2328, 11950 // 6000, so `Mesa Redonda` is
resuscitated. Mainstream Spanish not // to those but to each other:
11760, 11670, 9650, 9535 music; but 11850 and its parasites are off as
are all 13 MHz channels except Chinamusic on 13650. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Another RHC survey March 16 at 0101 via Maryland SDR: 5040 is
S7/S9 of dead air. 6000 is on VG S9/+10 and in English! unlike last
night. But no second English channel, all these off: 6060, 6100, 6165,
9700; on in Spanish is 9650. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MONGOLIA [non]. 5800, March 16 at 0145, Voice of Mongolia ID in
English, feature about the arts, UNESCO. This is a brand-new relay by
WRMI, Tue-Sat at 0130-0200: a big help as VOM`s direct English are
hardly heard in NAm, per WRTH 0900-0930 on 12085, 1530-1600 on 12015;
at 178 and 116 degrees resp., neither any good thisaway, let alone
inconvenient hours and MUFs. RMI is probably getting it thru
intervention of Kall which already relays VOM to Europe at 1300-1330
on 6005. Will have to listen to some whole VOMcasts if I can clear
such a semihour. Tnx to Richard Langley alert about this from WRMI on
disgraced FB. VOM replaces R. Prague International but which still has
some other RMI times. 5800 is on a 160-degree antenna like 9955 but
fairly audible backwards, sidewards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. If it`s Tuesday there must not be any English from REE, but
checking at 2305 March 15, all four frequencies are on instead of
yesterday only one, sounds Castilian but must be the Sefarad service
a.k.a. Ladino, a.k.a judeo-español on 9690, 11685, 11940, 12030.
Another one is on same set Saturdays at 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 15 at 2307, VOT into UTwente is on and very
good, S9+25/35 with only a slight squeal. Altho this is hardly audible
direct, we`re not looking forward to A22 when, stuck in a rut, VOT
goes back on 9830 at 2200, oblivious of all the RTTY from Puerto Rico
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2129 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday March 15
at earlied time on 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct, no jamming
audible. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 9455 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 7780, March 16 from 0200, R. Svoboda via WRMI is JBA into
Pskov SDR. Hope it`s doing better elsewhere in Russia. 7780, resuming
Russian at 0400, is S9+20/30 into UTwente at first with heavy
clatterpulse noise, OTHR or jamming? No good at the other few
White/Red Russian SDRs after 0400; Bryansk is silent. Not audible at
Minsk; Khimki near Moskva has signal trace but silent. Tambov is
always totally blocked above 7 MHz hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
