** AUSTRIA. 9670, May 27 at *1600, via UTwente, faux timesignal, brief
announcement in Russian, then John with VORW in English, a special
broadcast via Channel 292 but not its own German site, rather 100 kW
from Moosbrunn eastward. Usual musings about what`s going on in his
life, and to take music requests, so is it live? Finally some music
from 1610. Cut off abruptly at 1659.5* but similar signal back on at
*1700 which in the low-res `292 sked is `Bobs 60s Splash`, oldies and
later DJ speaking. From 292 it`s totally unclear which site(s) be in
use at which hours. I knew about VORW coming, only indirectly from
SWLing Post via AER in Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, 6100, 6000, May 27 at 0615, these RHC English
frequencies are OFF; you never know what combination will last the
final hour. Now leaving only 6060, but unusable below horrible
self-inflicted humbuzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. May 27 at 0625+, I survey all the Cuban jamming frequencies
running now despite having no targets whatsoever. Mainly would be
Radio Martí, but that`s totally off SW overnight. The pulsing sounds
vary from one to another in pitch, rate and intensity. 11930, 11860,
11775, 9955, 9805, 9565, 7405, 7365, 7355, 7335, 6030, 5980, 5955.
Details: 11775 never an RM frequency: now would be jamming Dengê
Welat! 9955 below WRMI with TOMBS not even in Spanish and certainly
not exile programming. Heaviest wall-of-noise on 7335, 6030. 5980 vs
leapfrog mixing product of WWCR 5890 over 5935. 5955 over a decade ago
had Radio República, 5954 via Costa Rica: once jammed, always jammed!
The totally incompetent and extremely wasteful DentroCuban Jamming
Command. Think of all the nutritious meals which could have been
provided to undernourished Cubans for the wasted cost of all that
juice. Not that jamming is ever justified even when correctly timed
and targeted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13680 // 13740, May 27 at 2127, RHC Spanish on both; 13680 is
stronger S9 vs 13740 fading to S1-S4, but louder modulation on the
weaker one. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The latest May 24 update
of EiBi now shows 13680 but only at 1930-2100 for Europe; not at all
in Aoki as of same date (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, Friday May 27 at 2303 tune-in, a few SPY NUMBERS
before cut to RHC programming, voice-over Spanish translation of a
speech in English, a live Caribbean event? Toward end of speech, St
Kitts & Nevis mention so maybe its delegate/ambassador. Hearing next
from a Nicaraguan. This is not // mainstream RHC Spanish on 11760,
11670, 9710, 9535; while VP undermod 6000 may be //. This would be the
`Mesa Redonda` TV audio which is supposedly scheduled Mon-Thu only. No
13680 or 13740 on air now and only 19m, 15730 is in Kriyol. 11880 is
also not on air in English, nor 11850 Spanish and parasites. To boot
on very strong 11950, there is crossmodulation from some music
underneath. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15750, May 27 at 2125, routine bandscan encounters
the unmistakable tones of Josiah on Station YHWH, S1-S4. Previous
daytime 19m frequencies were 15785, 15100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, UT Friday May 27 at 0500-0506, UR1 via WRMI
with `Ukraine: Security Issue`, YL narrating Day 92 of war May 26, VG
as usual into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2140 monitoring: confirmed UT
Friday May 27 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 direct but only poor in
noise level. Same S reading into Maryland SDR but good.

Also confirmed Friday May 27 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct and no
jamming audible.

Also confirmed Friday May 27 at 1815.4 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria,
heard via NW Ireland SDR using LSB to avoid the USB ute warble; and AM
Italia where both 1323 and 918 kHz are on air but not 207, as heard
via nearby Noale SDR; slightly better on 918 S5-S7 than 1323 S4-S6.
Thus resuming after last week`s 3rd-Friday pre-emptions.

I tuned in earlier: at 1759, 7290 JBA in Chinese, 1800 timesig and CNR
theme; *1800.9 Kostinbrod cuts on, JIP Feature Story News as always in
progress, UN News; 1809 starting some DJ music show but only a
fragment until 1815 IRRS ID still plugging the Milano PO box which is
otherwise disallowed, and into WOR.

Jean-Michel Aubier, France also reports: ``World of Radio heard this
Friday at 1815 on 7290 1323 and 918 and also at 2030 on 1323 and 918
Nothing on 207 (via a web-receiver in northern Italy)``

I also confirm Fri May 27 at 2030.7 oo AM Italia 918 & 1323, not 207,
same reception as before. At 2029 tune-in a DJ was just welcoming us
to his country music show, and got only 3 notes played before chopped
off at 2030 for ID and then WOR. Next:

it could be VOA in Kur language via Botswana until 1500; or CNR1
jamming and Sound of Hope until 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

SHORTAGES Blackouts and No Food: A Miserable May for Cubans
Inhabitants of Mayarí, Holguín say that the last few weeks have been
the most trying since the 'situation' began.
OSMEL RAMÍREZ ÁLVAREZ | Mayarí --- A line to buy oil in Mayarí,
Holguín. O. Ramírez Álvarez (Diario de Cuba)

"This month is proving the most critical, the most difficult to keep
our heads above water. The rice from the store was short, there’s no
oil or sugar on the street and, unfortunately, we have no electricity,
with one blackout after another," said Yoandris, a health worker in
Mayarí, Holguín, who lives with his elderly parents and also has a son
to support.

"This is no way to live. I wish I had money to leave, even if it were
for Haiti, for my mind’s sake. Living in Cuba is torture," he

Radio Network promos without any ID, after `Focus on the Family`. No
doubt KBCV Hollister MO, 5/3 kW U4. Night pattern is NW/SE with null

axually near Branson. Address in Springfield, but ``distant`` night
contour barely reaches there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, May 25 at 1430-1546, NO show of LRA36
this Wednesday; first checking via Bs As remote, from 1448 a few tones
like a birdcall repeating; at 1510 some unID 2-way QRM off-frequency.
I then check all three Argentine and three Brazilian SDRs which get
nothing from it. Better luck on Saturday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 290 MCW kHz, May 25 at 0621 UT, dash and QR, 100-watt ND

248 MCW kHz, May 25 at 0617 UT, dash and WG, 1000-watt NDB at
Winnipeg, Manitoba, the #1 Canadian to be audible if any (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 3330, May 25 at 0230, JBA carrier, perhaps not CHU, as no
signals on 7850 or 14670. Still not recovered from May 21 storm power
outage. If there were no axual damage, needs to be reset?? Apparently
a low priority at NRC; meanwhile, timeseeking Canux may have
permission to hear WWV. This uninformative notice appears on one
webpage but not the one about System Status:

Aoki shows RHC from 0100, probably instead Zahedan, Iran in Arabic
until 0230; and if active, SRDA Curitiba, Brasil, seldom heard by

** CUBA. 6060, May 25 at 0627, RHC is S9/+10 of huge humbuzz with
English JBA underneath; but 6100 is still on, S9+20/30 VG in English,
better than 6165, S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn

been nothing until now. SW was first not heard here on June 16, 2021
--- many subsequent chex found it still missing. The MARE Log Summary
as of 29 April shows SW was last logged 15 Sept 2021, but I never
heard it even then.

Classaxe.com shows last logged 2021-04-04, 50 watts with this note:
``u/s to 19Apr22 // Extended to May 30, 2022`` --- what means u/s??
dxinfocenter.com shows 25 watts, certainly weak enough for that.

Storm noise is slightly less tonight, from TX and SE sextant of USA,
not closer to OK. I also detect at 0618 UT May 25, tuned to 265 USB:

** U S A. Re WEWN down to one frequency: ``[WOR] WEWN May 22 at 4:24
PM --- I dimly remember that Glenn or someone else here had contacts
to the Vandiver station or someone else responsible for the EWTN
shortwave operations?

It would not hurt to find out what's up there. Looks like English, the
hours for West Africa on 15610/9385 kHz left since 2018/2019, is
completely gone since mid-March, and I see the last mentions of 5970
kHz being heard in mid-April. I don't know if they did on 12050 kHz a
five minutes sign-on, like they do it now, already when it was just a
frequency change from 5970. But in the case of English I meanwhile
really suspect that it could this time be gone for good.

By the way, in last September the Pope made his opinion about EWTN
known...

https://www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/pope-francis-issues-thinly-veiled-criticism-ewtn-comments-gender-ideology
Kai Ludwig``

Must read that NCR story! Quite a schism as the Mother Angelicans
consider themselves ``more Catholic than the Pope``.

So on May 22 I sent this to Glen Tapley, but there has been no reply:

``Hi Glen, We can`t help but notice that after English broadcasts
disappeared, Spanish is now left with only the daytime frequency
12050. Could you enlighten us on what the situation is? Is EWTN
deliberately withdrawing from radio/SW broadcasting, are more and more
transmitters non-funxional, or what? Thanks, Glenn Hauser``

```[WOR] WEWN. May 25 at 5:25 PM --- Don't remember if if this info
has been posted recently:

``Thank you for the email. Due to supply issues and lack of parts
available, we are presently unable to broadcast our English
programming. Once the parts arrive, we will perform the necessary
maintenance and resume our English transmissions. Say howdy to Glenn

Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 16-24 MHz, May 25 around 0100, viewing the Bonaire SDR
waterfall, which is set at very wideband, I see some JBV diagonal
lines starting about 16 MHz on up to fade around 21, 22 or max 24 MHz.
I assume these are from ionosonde somewhere, tracking the MUFs; and if
listening to one frequency between, might hear them cross. Probably
starting much below 16 but lost in the clutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2345 UT May 25

** CANADA. 3330 & 7850 & 14670, May 24 at 0207, weak carriers but no
timesignal modulation from CHUs. The May 21 storms may have disrupted
power supply, but if they can now get on the air at all, why not
resume service?? Still at 0634 dead air on 3 & 7 propagating. At 1525,
14670 & 7850 are only JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Reach Beyond Australia, in Myanmarianese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 15435, May 24 at 1535, Korean at S9/+10, so here`s
why: BBC at 1530-1830 via Tinang, no doubt on the 21-degree beam which
happens to carry right on toward us making it the SSOB = strongest
signal on band - and that includes anything from USA or Cuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, May 24 at 1956 tune-in via UTwente, OC already
on, 1957.6 JIP Russian, pause by 2000, IS and ID R. Svoboda. So the
secret unofficial relay, via Armenia? Is active today (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, May 24 at 0503-0509, UR1 via WRMI, VG into
Maryland SDR, English segment `Ukraine: Security Issue` a little later
than usual, leading Ivo to assume it never appeared today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, May 24 at 1930, WRMI relay of VOA remote news, VG
into Maryland SDR, and from 1935 `Flashpoint: Ukraine` dated for this,
the third mensaversary of the War, succeeds --- but wait! At 1946
abruptly chopped to music fill starting with running water, for rest
of semihour; 2000, VORW, John explains that he doesn`t have time to do
a [new] show tonight, so a rerun ensues. But everything`s fine, he
reassures us. AFAIK this hour started airing originally on May 19, so
it`s been a while already (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2139 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday May 24 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9/+20; but // 9455 is OFF -- as

** U S A. 4980, May 24 at 0639, no signal from this WRMI with TOMBS
and consequently no 4975 parasite either. 9455 also off at 0641 while
9395 & 9955 are good. Is 9455 totally off from 24/7 schedule? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
