Hauser
** CHINA. 13530, April 24 at 1416, CNR1 S9/+10 QRMing CODAR; also at
1417, S8/S9 on 13020, JBA carriers on 13190 & 13130. At 1424 also on
15800, S9/+10 // 13530; and S5/S8 on 16100. All well-established spots
to jam Sound of Hope, except not listed in Aoki 13190, rather in that
area 13130 where I usually detect it; 13160 and 13170. All of those
are among the latest huge SOH/jammer monitoring by Wolfgang Bueschel
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, April 24 at 1415, S9 of dead air from RHC, then off*;
while 13700 is S9+20 undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 13740, April 24 at 0629, African language the SSOB S7/9+10,
drumming, ``RFI`` pronounced in French and off 0630*. It was Hausa.
North Atlantic path is becoming less and less dark overnight (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420, April 24 at 0506, still NO signal from VOG/EPT/ERT.
This is when they used to air Greek Orthodox services Sunday mornings;
yet it`s GrOx Easter but nothing special as an exception, tsk2,
limited to MF 12-17 UT only. At least I cannot accuse them of
violating Separation of Church and State (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11775, April 24 at 0626, Cuban-style pulse jamming
atop weak station, presumed Denge Welat as now scheduled only here via
BULGARIA at 0530-1700, due east from ``Secretbrod`` as Ivo calls
Kostinbrod. No explanation why Cuba would jam this frequency, never?
used by Radio Marti, but used to be Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla.
Turkiye is presumably more interested in jamming DW, normally with
music on now vacant former 11530/11540; so has Cuban technology been
exported?

BTW, I`m astounded to spot in HFCC that WWCR has registered 11775 at
1200-2100 on the 46-degree antenna, i.e. #1 which is really on 15825.
Anything else imaginary? Plenty of alternatives: 15795 at 09-22; 12180
at 12-24; 7390 at 12-20; 6115 at 01-21 in addition to axual usage
21-01; 6090 at 21-12, 3215 at 21-12 beyond axual 01-11; 3195 at 21-01.
Note both 11775 and 6090, the two ex-Anguilla channels, by the same
frequency manager (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6915 USB, April 24 at 0044, S9/+10 pirate music
overcomes much of the high storm noise level --- NE/SW front across
central OK with tornado threats to OKC, Stillwater, but nothing around
Enid. All four major OKC TV stations blow away their primetime for
wall-to-wall storm coverage; KWTV especially boastful about its
equipment.

0045 Wolverine Radio ID, and at 0055, then ``Let the Good Times
Roll``; 0102 quick comparison to 7490 WBCQ about same on meter but
W.R. louder; when I get back at 0103, SSTV underway, and at 0105 as
soon as that`s over without a beat, DJ as Doctor DJ and/or Drunken DJ
Radio. Same transmitter? He even mentions Wolverine too. Mike is lo-fi
but talx a lot more than Wolv. Does not sound drunken to me: try
harder? 0110 outros songs unlike Wolv, `Once in a Lifetime` by Talking
Heads. 0113 shoutouts to reports on HF Underground. More songs. 0124
again referring to Wolverine as well as DDJR. 0126 first of two SSTVs;
0128 backstory about it and 0129 second SSTV. I do not recheck until
0325, when 6915 is *still* on acknowledging HFU reports including a
request from Bermuda.

Here are the HFU reports of both stations, no doubt including some
images so I don`t have to:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96301.0.html
Lots and lots of them, with playlists. Later: WDDR is on 6900, which
started with WDOG, confusing: see below report (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Apr 24 at 0326, another pirate on here
with rock at S9 direct; 0335 SFX noises like revving, then screaming
music; 0345 via Missouri SDR, SSTV; 0346 KDOG, K-dog ID, music. See:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96308.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6900 USB, Apr 24 at 0353, a third station while 6915
and 6950 are still running. Via Missouri remote: Rock, 0354 and over
music at 0355, WDOG ID in Morse code. See:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96307.0.html
0400 another ID with yips.

But at 0425 the 6900 station IDs as WDDR - Drunken DJ Radio, earlier
on 6915. Now only 6900 remains on. At 0437 says he has finished his
bottle of wine. 0500 still on, 0502 says is getting a buzz, will play
one more tune, HFU replies; 0508 now is pulling out one more one more
tune from YT, as closing windows, now sounds inebriated. Is really off
by 0515 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 24 at 0500, UR1 via WRMI, no English
segment today, understandably, since it`s Orthodox Easter: some lovely
music, a lasting legacy of religionism. It`s 8 am in Ukraine, so I
wonder if this be a live E-morning service; or maybe recorded from
previous evening, if any. After 0515 mostly UU talk (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2135 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 23 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, S9 into UTwente but avoid RTTY warble
on LSB, or reduce bandwidth <3.5 kHz. By 1957 has faded to S5/6.

Also confirmed Saturday April 23 at 1946 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG
S9+8 into nearby SDR, ending at 2002 so started about 1933.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
TWR RGV SDR; S9 direct but JBA vs high OK storm noise level.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 24 at 0336 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+20 direct but in hi storm noise level, about 3 minutes into so
started circa 0333; at 0344 via nearby SDR, S9+10 but better S/N
against storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 24 at 1337 on WMRI Europe via Channel
292 Germany, 9670, about 7 minutes into the 1330 airing, S9 into
UTwente, and zero signal direct. Next:

** U S A. 9955, April 24 at 1410, WRMI S9 but quite undermodulated,
against nohuxter more apropos than the Tourette`s screamster Terry
Blalock! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 23 at 1457, NO LRA36 signal into
four Brasil SDRs, another Saturday absent as in all of April. Still no
reply to my fourth email inquiry, which did not bounce (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 28394 USB, April 22 at 2220, PU2WDX São Paulo in
contact with 6Y5CR in Jamaica, both audible in quick check of 10mb.

28420 USB, April 22 at 22232, VK3CWB in NW Victoria contacting Bill in
Florida, and lots more signals. First time Australia heard in long
time and simul with Brasil and Jamaica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 23 at 1605-1630, V of Martyrs Korea,
usual sermon in English, S9/+20 into new Coimbatore, India KiwiSDR,
closing ID and off in time for *1630 Vatican Arabic with much weaker
signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 9450 & 9890, April 23 at 1900-1909, NO signals into
Kuwait or South African SDRs, checking for R. Ominira Yoruba as in
last report, which was unheard on 9450 April 21, to which these
replies; from Wolfgang Bueschel:

``only Sat/Sun service? this read on Nagoya Japanese userlist1 data
file of PERSEUS SDR software file accessories:
A22 Shortwave Frequency List April 21 2022, 1000 UTC:
http://www1.s2.starcat.ne.jp/ndxc/pc/us/nda/userlist1.txt
9890 kHz 1900-2400 G Radio Ominira Yoruba Yor Woofferton 17
73 wb df5sx`` --- the 17 means Sunday & Saturday

And from Kai Ludwig April 22: ``9890 kHz was the frequency where these
broadcasts appeared in June 2021. They were supposed to run either Sat
and Sun or perhaps Fri, Sat, Sun. First transmission was on June 6,
and on June 18 the whole thing was already cancelled again, with no
further explanations being given.

So this Perseus software entry is a karteileiche and 9450 kHz rather
the frequency now reserved for attempts to sell this airtime. It would
of course not hurt to check if anything appears tonight or tomorrow,
but I would not be surprised if this turns out to be as substantial as
the wishlist registrations for BBC Russian and 16 hours of English to
eastern Europe...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, Apr 23 at 1912, R. Svoboda in Russian VG into
Khimki, Russia SDR, S9+15/35 with no jamming audible; the crowd-funded
`Shortwaves for Freedom` relay via secret site believed to be ARMENIA;
just checking, still going strong; altho slightly distorted modulation
and crackle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 23 at 0500-0507, UR1 via WRMI. This time
only a brief UU language announcement before switch to English,
`Ukraine: Security Issue`. It always includes a website in .ua, but
the word for `dot` is a lot more complex I have yet to fathom (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2135 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 22 at 1815 on IRRS SW via BULGARIA, 7290; despite `SW Report`
having started at 1811, but that 30-minute show chopped off at 1815
for IRRS ID & WOR. S9/+10 on 7290 into UTwente; also via AM Italia,
1323 kHz into nearby Noale SDR, but nothing on 918 or 207 kHz. Some
QRMusic under and at 1825 that overcomes in German talk from Romania
minority service. Nothing audible on 14580 = 2 x 7290 into UTwente,
except for RTTY warble on the USB.

Also confirmed Friday Apr 22 at 2030.4 on AM Italia, now both 1323 at
S9+10 and 918 kHz S9+18, no QRM. There was music fill at 2025, 2030
IRRS canned ID asking for reports to the Milano PO box, despite Ron
Norton online publicity denying that postal mail is accepted!

Missed checking UT Sat Apr 23 at 0130 on WRMI 9395; anyone hear it?

Confirmed UT Saturday April 23 from 0359.7 on R. Angela WBCQ 4790,
sufficient into Maryland SDR, as I note the exact times of 1-second
noise burst QRM, or `uteblaaps`. This time exactly 3:00 minutes apart
at 2 seconds past: 0400, 0403, 0406 ... 0427. And an interspersed
3:00-minute cycle at 43 seconds past: 0401, 0404 ... 0428. Timings
correlated with WWV 5000 into same SDR.

Also confirmed Sat Apr 23 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast. Next:

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Apr 23 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`.
After WTO theme, immediately into a country gospel tune as a request
from someone in Nyack. Allan says he likes Earth Day; the 81 million
who voted for [Biden] are idiots. Rest of first half railing against
the ``war on gender``, [which the Far Right has just made up], causing
him ``disgustment``. Criminals are running the country now. 0032 says
trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 4790 from Studio 9 in Fla, but never gets
around to a YOOLF datestamp; but we know it`s live and current since
refers to Easter last Sunday. Keeps apologizing for being so
political, 0036 switching to radio stuff. R. Angela may be expanded to
an hour earlier 9-10 pm Eastern [= 01-02 UT]. Reads article about a
longtime pirate on 87.9 on north side of Chicago [we had this weeks
ago]. 0050 bit of a Radio World story about R. Nova, Dublin. 0053
email. 0058 insists that Angela deliver prayer. 0101 JIP Hal Turner
late as usual. Standard disclaimer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9525.5 USB, April 23 at 0633, JBA 2-way INTRUDERS, can`t
tell if Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1919 UT April 23

** ARGENTINA. Replying on the WOR iog to my query: ``Hello, here is a
map of Argentina with the different districts (first letter after the
number in the ham call). 73 Eric SM6JSM``
https://www.qsl.net/lu4gf/pub/arg_mapa-ra.png
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. ``Radio Ominira Yoruba, inactive on SW at time of
publication`` says WRTH 2022 page 521. But now from Observer,
Bulgaria, Wednesday, April 20, 2022:

``Registered frequency of Radio Ominira Yoruba in HFCC from April 21
U.K. 1900-2400 on 9450 WOF 250 kW / 170 deg to WeAf Yoruba Radio
Freedom Yoruba A22`` --- so I check at 2020 UT April 21: nothing, yet?
into Kuwait SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2135)

** RUSSIA [and non?]. 7730, April 22 at 0230, R. Svoboda via WRMI fair
to UTwente but with rapid click QRM, OTH radar, or jamming? Same
audible at Khimki, Russia, SDR except it`s atop R. Liberty`s weaker
signal. So is this deliberate defacto jamming? It spreads 7710-7760
peaking about 7745; but at 0245 it`s off with RL in the clear (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 15200, April 21 at 1646 talk and music, sufficient
into Khimki, Russia, SDR, new Ukrainian service of TWR Asia [sic] via
GUAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 22 at 0501-0507, UR1 via WRMI with
English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue` for Day 57 of the War.
Always an excellent `you are there` summary of the latest events,
leading with Mariupol siege (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday April 21 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395, S9+10/20 into Missouri SDR

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed April 20 at 1346 and 1431 chex via
Brasil SDRs, no signal from LRA36, prolonging its absence all April so
far. I wanted to email them about this:

``Me gusta escuchar sus emisiones en 15476 los miércoles y/o sábados,
a través de receptores remotos en el Brasil; pero a pesar de
sintonizar dos veces per semana en abril, no se escucha nada después
de marzo. Favor de explicar qué pasa; si van a reanudar emisiones
pronto? Gracias, Guillermo Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oclajoma, EUA``

But all 3 email addresses in WRTH 2022 bounced. Does anyone have a
working address? Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, replies on the WOR iog:

Hi Glenn, please, have you tried this one?:
esperanzalra36@radionacional.gov.ar
but even if it doesn't bounce I think they don't answer. Last year's
whatsapp number is also inactive. I believe that until the programs of
the new season begin, they will not respond. Uff, perhaps they will
start when this season is over. Best 73,s``

OK, I try that one too --- mo bounce but no reply either by a few
hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Soy radioaficionado desde 1970, cuando tenía 15 años. Mi primera
señal distintiva era LU2MCX. Comencé con el final de la época de las
válvulas y la amplitud modulada (AM). Construí mi primer transmisor
con una válvula 807 en la salida (50W), modulada en placa con un
push-pull de 2 6L6. Estuve años en actividad, pero la vida y la
profesión me fueron alejando poco poco. Perdí mi licencia y estuve más
de 40 años QRT. En el año 2018, me entusiasmé con la idea de recuperar
mi licencia, lo que ocurrió a finales de de ese año. En la actualidad
estoy comunicando con la licencia original y tan entusiasmado como
cuando tenía 15 años.

Soy Ingeniero en electrónica y electricidad, fui docente durante 40
años y trabajé en obras eléctricas, tuve una fábrica de balanzas
electrónicas, diseñé sistemas con microcontroladores (controles de
apertura, dosificadores, alarmas, etc.). También incursioné en el
audio fabricando amplificadores, mezcladoras y cajas acústicas. Ahora
estoy alejado de las actividades lucrativas, pero NO de la profesión.
Aparte de la radio me gusta la lectura de ciencia ficción y en el año
2013 escribí el primer libro que acabo de editar.``

BTW: I learnt long ago but have not reconfirmed it lately, that unlike
other ham countries, the number in the call does not correspond to a
geographical region or call-area like in Canada, US. Rather it`s the
first letter after the number which denotes a distinct province or
area. There should be a map of this somewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.896V, April 20 at 0632, standout signal from RVM even
tho only S8/S9, with .br website and 3:32 timecheck, back to music,
which sounds more secular than sacred without understanding any lyrix.
Will it ever reach 9667.000? Some still log this as if on nominal
9665! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, April 20 at 2315-2335+, RHC with S9/S6 of dead air
except for traces of English modulation while the carrier crackles
cutting off and on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, April 20 at 2204, R. Cairo with extremely
distorted but recognizable English, very strong into UTwente.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 20 at 1514-1530, another exercise in
futility as I try another combination of 3 SDRs for TDOA on Voice of
Martyrs Korea. New Delhi is getting the best signal, S9+15/20 of usual
Protestant TV discussion in English, much better than into SDRs
Bengaluru, Kuwait. At 1520 I run Hanoi, Bandung, RSA or Swazi, which
conclude it`s most likely from 13N/109E = South Vietnam: yeah, sure.
1527 goes to music, 1529.5 just in time for sign-off ID and email;
then *1530 Vatican Arabic starts much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 20 at 2215, VOT S9+50 into UTwente, VG except
for squeal but it`s JBA. After news and Review of Turkiyeish Press;
2215 same old COVID PSA about washing hands, etc., ``vaccine yet to be
found``. 2216 `Feeling Supreme` `Health Life` - brain fog and cerebral
palsy and what to eat to avoid them. 2224 `Weekly Commentary` quoting
a foreign policy and security analyst whose name I cannot possibly
copy, about Tuerkiyeish strategy in context of Ukraine conflict, etc.
Closing the Bosporus Strait? 2252 recheck, still a whine but much
weaker S7 signal with no other modulation, same +3 Hz offset (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 20 at 0502.5-0509.5, Ukraine Radio 1 via
WRMI with English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue`. UU language at
0500 first lasts longer than usual, but don`t give up. YL announcer
this time who does the best job: Day 55 of the War. First about
Mariupol siege. Ends about the postage stamp with the soldier raising
finger-3 to the Russian warship, going viral, and at very high prices
on Ebay: no plans to print any more of them. I`m not attempting to
copy all details of each broadcast, as hugely covered also in
mainstream news, but it`s important to hear this daily summary from
Ukraine itself; if not now, then after 0000 UT on 1386 kHz via
Lithuania via UTwente. 7730 VG into Maryland SDR.

7700-7750 approx., April 20 at 0637 direct, after WRMI is off 7730, a
lite noise field over this span, jamming remnant? Nonesuch noted
during WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 15200 AM, April 20 at *1601-1701*, KTWR with new
Ukrainian broadcast, as TWR had to get in the act. Registered as N =
DRM but must have decided they really wanted an audience. Equally good
S9+20/30 signal into New Delhi and Khimki, Russia SDRs. No jamming or
OTH radar QRM as others have complained last day or two. I listen to
whole hour, which is mostly music with some brief announcements. Most
of the songs are non-English and to me not overtly gospel, presumably
in Ukrainian. No protracted gospel-huxtering. Seems TWR are trying to
provide a feel-good uplifting hour. At 1616 & 1628 & 1647 there are
praise songs in English; and at 1655 ``Holy3``. I wonder where this be
produced studioly: surely not Guam, or even Singapore HQ of TWR Asia:
but this is trans-Asian to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening

** U S A. 4790, April 20 at 0400, creeping Angelism, now staying on a
dekaminute longer with some short features After Midnight, UT Tue-Fri
at least, so not affecting WOR on UT Sat at 0400. Starts with
Earthdate, 0402 Exploring Science. These are serious, but then 0404
something off-the-wall about cannabis seeds. Meanwhile the uteblapp
QRM continues, this time exactly 3:00 minutes apart at 0402, 0405,
0408; and maybe a separate one in between about 0406:40. 0409.5 WBCQ
sign-off to 0410*. Good into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, April 20 at 0642, JBA carrier on 2 x 3945 R.
Vanuatu; but 11835 = 3 x 3945 is S9/+10! with island music. Unseems
off-frequency but I measure it exactly: 11835.003 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
