NOT confirmed Fri Mar 29 at 2130-2133 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz.
Recording via UTwente while I napped, only a weak Qur`an signal,
likewise when I set it up before 2100 and recheck 2228. Per MWlist,
the only possibility is R. Tabriz, Jofra, Iran, 50 kW, normally off at

breakfast. So no chance to check for Italia on 918 or 207 kHz, but not

** U S A. 9395 & 5085, UT Thu March 28 at 0350, VG via remotes in
Georgia, surprised to find this WRMI // WTWW, but far out of synch.
Incredibly, someone is suggesting that Joe Biden and the USA were
really behind the terrorist attack on a concert hall in Moscow!
Despite US having warned Russia that intelligence showed that ISIS-K
was planning such an attack. Don`t recognize the voice, so also
surprised when outro before hourtop is `Truth2Ponder`, Bob Biermann`s
show, but I did not recognize the voice as his, nor was he identified
by name. I see on the WRMI Programming page, ``Bob Biermann and a
group of talented and experienced individuals will sort through
today’s news`` so apparently really someone else. Of course the
recently updated WRMI System G program sked shows this 9395 hour
occupied by TOMBS. WTWW stays on another semihour until 0431* with
Christian music, A-W-R IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Thu Mar 28 at 0630, WRMI-8 with Bach solo `cello
music, but 0633 into an Irish song, S9+35/40 direct. Yet more
contradictory info on skedgrid. Transmitter sked shows TOMBS Tue-Sat
during this hour, but System E program sked of TOMBS shows the
opposite, 5950 starting at 0600 on weekends only! Anyway, this is
obviously not TOMBS! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

on air despite sked showing OFF air M-F at 05-12, otherwise TOMBS on
weekends: but this is not // 5850 WRMI where Scourby is Bibling on
TOMBS. What`s this? Seems I have caught such an anomaly before. Since
5935 is also on, they coöperate to produce the leapfrog mixing product
of both audios on 5980, providing Cuba with something to jam (Glenn

WORLD OF RADIO PODCAST ON YOUTUBE, replacing Google Podcast

Thanks to Keith Weston for arranging this: ``Hi Glenn, It looks like
the new "podcast" feed via YouTube is now fully active and reliable.
https://www.youtube.com/@WorldofRadio

Official details of what this is and why it is happening at :
https://support.google.com/podcast-publishers/thread/264592324

Basically, the iTunes-like Google Podcast service will cease to
function on 2 April 24. Anyone who uses the Google Podcast app (or a
play their podcasts via Google Smart speaker) will need to start using
YouTube or YouTube Music apps paired with their devices. It's a real
pain and I hate this decision, but that's the Googleverse we live in
now. Setting the new stuff up for smart speakers is a little tricky,
but your followers are smart cookies and I wager they'll figure it
out.

Best, -- Keith Weston``

spring calendar, they never say ``allegedly`` - this is journalism?
2307 repeating the basic A24 SW sked, and yes, 17855 not 17885 for us.
Then quite a stretch explaining how one group which dresses in sheets

``Glenn, checking the Brasília Kiwi SDR around 0330 UT March 26 I’m
hearing R. Voz Missionária on both 5940 and 11750 with good signal
levels, but nothing on 9665``

Precise frequencies would be helpful. At 1723 I check the ``Brasila``

15000 JBA ranging -1 to +3 Hz, no doubt instability of rx or prop, not
WWVH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15140, March 26 at 1940, RHC English VP with
squeal, S3 into Maryland SDR, waterfall showing squeals about 15137.3
and lesser at 15142.7. USB tuning might have helped except there is
much stronger S7/S9+5 Chinese traditional music on 15145, Firedragon
jamming? nothing listed there by Aoki & EiBi between 0800 and 0630,
nor trace of target. As expected, cuts off at 2000* sharp, never
announcement nor timesignal. 15140 better by 2030, RHC going from
French to Portuguese. Still with squeals, not only +/- 2.6 kHz, but
weaker ones about 5.2 around 15134.8 and 15145.2.

I`m checking 15140 because David Crawford, FL, just told me: ``The
Bauta Squealer is in full bloom today (1805Z) --- The RHC carrier freq
is the usual 15140. The diagonal voids are ionospheric fades sweeping
across the freqs. The good high-power Bauta tx is on HM01 duty today.

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. UTwente at 1620 March 26 is getting Arabic
on 11935 - the frequency which had been that horrible noise, believed
to be Sa`udi with the Rep of Yemen Radio. Is that it? EiBi also shows
Farda - Farsi until 1630 via Germany. Some other music underneath.
Vatican to start Arabic at 1630 on 11935. Glenn. Thread continues on
WOR iog:

``By 11935 kHz you mean what signal blob without carrier I had
ignored, believing it was a spur from some defective transmitter
operating elsewhere? Yes, something else, sounding like Arabic, too,
can now be heard in the background of the Vatican signal that provides
a carrier. So that could of course be a second Saudi shortwave
transmitter that is still active. Kai`` Ludwig, Germany, at 1638.

Yes, as I reported a number of times, the 11935 blob was the same as
previously on 11915, 11820, 11860 - where originally Rep of Yemen
relay was. Hardly to be ignored. Vatican Arabic did come on at 1629.5,
taking over UTwente. Vatican finished by 1730. At 1732, 11935 with
Qur`an in the clear. But is it Riyadh, and which program, Yemen`s or
not? Apparently SA has finally fixed that transmitter or changed to a
good one. Not // 11745 in Arabic.

Recheck UTwente at 1756, 11935, no signal but *1756 cuts on
immediately to the horrible buzzroar: it lives! past 1800+. So
something else on 11935 earlier, no roar. A few minutes qne hours
later, no signal direct on 11935, just not propagating, but still loud
to UTwente past 2038, 2243. Glenn

Kai Ludwig replies at 1858: ``I made the mistake to tune away from
11935 after 20 seconds or so. Could it be made out if The Buzz came up
with the same muezzin, i.e. the same programme feed? The question is
of course whether it is the same Saudi transmission, being handed over
to another transmitter.

Attached the last seconds of the good 11935 transmission until cutting
off at 1755. It had no faults, the described carrierless blob before
1700 was again something else.

Also attached a snippet of 11745 at 1800 top of the hour. Breaking up
audio as transmitted. The reference to Riyadh should be clear enough,
but no "Al-Azm" whatsoever, not in the whole period between 1756 and
1810 unless I overheard it. Instead some mentions of Al
Arabiya, for what it's worth, if anything.

And now I wonder if 11935 The Buzz is our good old friend from years
ago who, if I remember correct, at times splattered over hundreds of
kilohertz. If so it would mean that the Riyadh shortwave plant is
still alive. Kai``

*sic, confusing English: Even when referring to sound rather than
sight, the word is ``overlooked``. ``Overheard`` does not have a
parallel meaning, rather, hearing something by chance or when not
supposed to.

Further replies: ``Didn’t the Saudi Broadcasting Authority (ex-BSKSA)
install a number of new SW transmitters a few years back? I seem to
recall a number of discussions about that on various SW forums. Seems
odd that they would give up on the platform, unless they’ve determined
the audience has gone elsewhere. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas``

``4 x new SW txs erected in Jeddah new antenna site a decade ago.

``Known for sure is the installation of four transmitters at Jeddah.
https://contelec.com/case-history-shortwave

I don't remember any real information about Riyadh. The 70s vintage
transmitters could still be in operation there, considering the
resurfacing of that long known fault.

But first I would focus on identifying the programming that goes out
on the (just two, it seems) remaining outlets now. Kai``

``Saudi had three transmitter sites and now down to only one, which is
Riyadh. They plan to dismantle that and either move to a new site or
discontinue shortwave. This has not yet been decided. It's Ramadan
here so things are in a slight state of flux. Will know more after the
Eid holiday (after April 15). 73, Ed 7Z1ES, Riyadh`` (Glenn Hauser,

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, March 26 from 2250, UTwente squelched
awaiting VOT to come on - can squelch level be adjusted? Keeps cutting
on and off with noise. Meanwhile, 9610 nice music presumably CNR
Mongolian, not VOT overrun in Italian, which has happened before.
*2300 abruptly on 5960: NOT VOT but Chinese! from XJRTV, EAST
TURKISTAN, which often doesn`t come up until about 2311 - and still no
VOT English on either frequency. About *2310 when I`m not listening
closely, VOT cuts on amid news; 2312 music and onward. 2317 `That`s
Why` repeat on smoking causing cancer. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
