Glenn Hauser logs April 8, 2022  View Printable Version 
Friday, April 08 2022

Hauser
** COLOMBIA. The ``it`` in my last report was of course:
La Voz de tu Conciencia = The Voice of Thy Conscience:

``6010, April 7 at 0700, JBA signal in Spanish? Yes, later April 7 at
2230, Rafael Rodríguez reported it reactivated after a long time with
preaching by Stendal, NA at 2300; and RR is the 100% e-QSL manager to
rafaelcoldx@yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2133)``

6010, April 8 at 0705, heard LVC again, better S8/S9 with song in
Spanish. No, nothing on 5910, its former sibling station, Alcaraván
Radio. Might that revive too from Puerto Lleras? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9778-9833, April 8 at 0613, approx. range of bleed from
wall-of-noise jamming against nothing on 9805, i.e. plus/minus 27/28
kHz, overkill. Always incompetent and unconcerned about collateral
damage, the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [and non]. 6030, April 8 at 1559.5, Artists for Peace
special event, live benefit concert from Königswusterhausen, via
AUSTRIA on this frequency, VG S9+35/40 into UTwente, much better than
// 9580 via Nauen. Opening with orchestra and chorus but not the
now-familiar Ukrainian national anthem. Huge variety of music and
performers, instruments, with lots of commentary mostly in German, but
occasional Ukrainian. One English heard at 1656 about power of music,
with frequencies. 1646 accordion. 1747 a Russian pianist with a
flutist. Publicity said there would be 31 performers from seven
nations. Could hardly fit all those into only two hours scheduled,
1600-1800. Both continue past 1800, but those tuned to 9580 find it
soon off. 6030 keeps on going as I listen via UTwente. 1832 YL in
Ukrainian; 1840 finally wrapping up in German, 1842 Ukrainian, 1842.7*
uncovering something else weakly on 6030. See
https://www.kulturwerk.info/Classic-meets-Jazz-694265.html
https://museum.funkerberg.de/benefizkonzert/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Fri Apr 8 at 1659, S9+45 unGreek music with
heavy reverb, very exotic so presumably China already? No, must have
been ERT since this chops off at 1700 uncovering what is really a
China minority service on 9420.002, S9+30/40 into UTwente (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. (5910), we`ve lost track of the weekly Friday-only
clandestine at 1730-1800v of Channel 1 TV, which had been regular in
B21; but in A22, Romania has overtaken that slot, in Serbian. Did Ch 1
move to another frequency and/or time due to DST in Iran? Lots of luck
finding anything about radio, let alone SW, even if converted to
English, at https://ch1.cc/

I`m far too busy at 1730 April 8 to go on a random hunt for it by
tuning, but I do check the latest HFCC for any likely-looking
replacement from TAChkent site at 1730 on day 6: No fits. Then I
search on all the broadcasts starting at 1730 from all sites: no fits
either. So is the SW relay of this still going anywhere? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 918 kHz, Fri April 8 at 1915, Spanish PSA from OMS = WHO,
1916 `Counterspin` on IRRS via AM Italia, not only on MW 1323 kHz
Villa Estense, but reactivated on 918, which is much better with no
QRM into nearby Noale SDR, since Madrid 918 has gone dark. See also
USA [and non] WOR monitoring. Counterspin is chopped off only halfway
thru at 1930 for IRRS Milan ID and Feature Story News. Airing
fragments of programs is the most annoying thing about IRRS even when
not done to WOR.

1935 joins VOA News rather than `Flashpoint Ukraine` which follows VOA
news at 1930 on WRMI 15770. 1940, 918 into music; 1945 American PSA
for brushing teeth. 1946 starts `Shortwave Report` with Dan Roberts;
will it be halved as well? He starts with Sputnik Radio, then to be
NHK Radio Japan, Radio Habana Cuba --- seems Dan is still stuck on the
same old stations. Shortwave! indeed, Sputnik is not on SW, but
recorded from web probably like the others. Dan says he has now
completed 25 years of the `SW` Report. Starts NHK segment but has QRM
from Turkey`s `Feeling Supreme` theme! So maybe really from SW, or did
IRRS do that? 1958 anyway SWR chopped off by IRRS for more VOA News!
across hourtop; 2003 Feature Story News again. 2007 songs. Then
another talk program about pavilions, from UN? 2020 Spanish PSA about
COVID19/UNESCO/OMS, more songs until 2030 ID with PO Box address
otherwise discouraged, and WOR 2133.

Alfredo Cotroneo replies: ``Glen[n], There are and will be occasional,
unscheduled, tests on 918, but we are more interested in propagation
outside Italy into Central and Northern Europe, including the war
zones. 1323 is doing better than 918 for long time propagation. Good
news that the Spanish station in not interfering now on 918, but they
may come back, who knows? Alfredo `` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15785, Fri April 8 at 1508 in routine bandscan, I
discover anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH on new frequency, the
signature vocalizations of Josiah needing no explicit ID. No problem
from the 1 kW DRM in Germany allegedly 24h on 15780-15790 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15529.9, April 8 at 1509, JBA carrier off-frequency, not
taking time to measure it more precisely. HFCC at 1500-1600 has AWR in
Kxf language via Trincomalee. Kxf?? Aoki abbreviates it Kar. EiBi KA
which means Karen, as in the Myanmar minority; not scheduled as such
in WRTH 2022 for B-21 season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: 5985 WRMI-2 still
off the air at 0330 April 8, since NHK Spanish at 0400 quit after
March 31. I did not check after 0400 but the WRMI skedgrid now shows
R. Eslovaquia = Spanish from System B on WRMI-2 at 0400-0430. Yet the
System B program grid below, mainly about 9955 does not, only Prague
on 9955. The System D program schedule for the 0330-0400 segment on
``5985`` still appears with WOR and various other programs during the
week. Contradixion after contradixion.

Missed checking Friday April 8 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear WOR?

Confirmed Friday April 8 at 1815 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, but
even at nearby Noale SDR, under QRM from Romania in German. I also
check 918 kHz, and surprise2, it`s also on the air with WOR, and much
better with no QRM as R. Inter, Madrid has gone silent again. AFAIK
there has been no publicity from IRRS about 918 still in use. I had
not even sought it for several weeks, assuming it was gone once 1323
had replaced it. But without QRMadrid, 918 would be better to use than
1323. Also checked LW 207 kHz, with some music not // but presumably
not Iceland. See also ITALY!

Of course, WOR also on 7290 via Bulgaria from 1815 Friday VG into
UTwente, and also JBA on 14580 second harmonic vs RTTY on plus side.

Also confirmed Friday April 8 at 2030 UT on AM Italia, equally VG
S9+5/10 at Noale on both 918 & 1323. Next:

PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9950 & 9960, April 8 at 0616, JBA carriers, parasitic spurs
out of 9955 WRMI which is S9+20. Difficult to distinguish any audio on
9950 & 9960 with huge splash out of 9955 itself. And some poor 2-way
USB is trying to communicate about 9960.2. But there`s more:

9965, April 8 at 0618, a further spur with TOMBS audio JBA // 9955.
And a matching JBA carrier on 9945. Something`s odd at Okeechobee
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, April 8 at 1502, another English sermon about
``doing good`` from Voice of Martyrs, Korea, S7/S9 direct. Pastor Tim,
who is a WOR iog member, acknowledges as a test for Maldives, but site
is confidential. How about Reach Beyond Australia, Kununurra?:

PRO:
RBA has not replied to my inquiry.
They have 3 x 100 kW transmitters
Only one is on their public schedule after 1400

https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/wp-content/uploads/A22-Listener-Edition.pdf
Since this is a ``listener edition``, that implies there is another
internal edition with secret broadcasts not to be acknowledged
RBA already carries VOMK in Korean at another time
RBA has many broadcasts for S Asia before 1400 with suitable antennas
It`s a clear shot across the Indian Ocean, ideal distance
Puts a good signal into North America otherwise tho never beamed
thisaway

CON:
Checked the one RBA at 1520 April 8, to Myanmar on 11825, only JBA
carrier
Why would one VOMK broadcast on RBA be public and another secret?
RBA has not replied to my direct inquiry
There are still plenty of other possible sites. Everyone invited to
investigate with TDOA.

Why would this Korea-based ministry go after Maldivians? Sunni Islam
is the only allowed religion as explained in great detail here:

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/indian-ocean/mv-religion.htm
The partner station may be unwilling to risk offending their own
Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9666.862, April 7 at 0436, RVM, S6 into Bonaire SDR; at
0622, I measure it direct to here, JBA music on 9666.858: close enough
in slight variation or margin of error (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 6010, April 7 at 0700, JBA signal in Spanish? Yes, later
April 7 at 2230, Rafael Rodríguez reported it reactivated after a long
time with preaching by Stendahl, NA at 2300; and RR is the 100% e-QSL
manager to rafaelcoldx@yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2133)

** CUBA [and non]. 9955, April 7 at 0625, Brother Scare on WRMI vs
Cuban pulse jamming, tsk2, long after there is ever any Spanish
programming, let alone exile. This jamming is weaker than on 9805
which is stronger than on 9565; 11930 & 11860 also still jammed
against no Martíes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [and non]. 9420, April 7 at 1648, VOG has not shut down yet,
but only slightly weaker CCI from the China station, some say is in
Kazakh, others in Uighur. ERT does stop at 1700* leaving the other in
clear, S9+15/20 into UTwente with music, 1702 ``Burasi ---`` Turkic ID

0300 to N America, NOT 7270 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Radio 1 during new overnight relay 2100-0330, April 7 at
0001.5-0006.8, `Ukraine: Security Issues` English war news segment, VG
into UTwente SDR; and another, April 8 at 0000-0009 approx. I still
need to check UR1 webcast whether this originally air at 1700+ UT as
20h timecheck would imply (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Confirmed first airings UT Fri Apr 8 at 0130 on WRMIs: 7730 S9+10/20
and 5850 S9+20/25 both into Missouri SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Just in early UT April 8, a reply to my inquiry about
the 11620 station, just too late to include on WOR 2133!:

``Hi Glenn, Thanks for your email and thank you for all the work you
do on behalf of short-wave radio.

Yes - this is a new broadcast that is intended for the Maldives. It is
currently in English, but we hope to have more and more content in
Dhivehi shortly.

Due to our agreement with our radio broadcast partner, we are unable
to share the location of the transmission.

Additionally, we will be starting a Chinese language short-wave
station on May 1st. These are of course in addition to our ongoing
Korean language broadcasts that are intended for North Korea. We are
convinced of the need and value of short-wave broadcasts in light of
oppressive regimes around the world.

Thanks, Tim [Dillmuth, Pastor], VOM Korea``

Meanwhile, I logged it again April 7 at *1459, joining in progress the
TV soundtrack with the same preacher as before, fair-poor into UTwente
and some other remotes; at 1521 direct, S8/S9+10; 1526 weakening with
deep fading; 1528 `Blessed Assurance` theme; 1529:20 other music and
maldives@vomkorea.com contact address quite clear this time and off
before 1530*. So it`s up to us to figure out whence (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 6 at 1425, no signal this
Wednesday from LRA36 into four Brazilian remotes checked. Some editors
will throw this out as an insignificant non-log: I maintain its
absences are at least as significant as its appearances, and should be
documented; as with other irregulars (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9805, April 6 at 0621, wall-of-noise jamming
against nothing in response to R. Martí reactivated here for A-22 but
only at 10-13! Now also various jam levels against nothings on 7435,
7375, 7355, 7335, 6030 WON; 5980 vs the WWCR leapfrog mixing product
of WWCRs 5890 TOMBS over 5935 DGS/PMS another 45 kHz beyond,
fundamentals so strong that the ghostly voice of BS can be heard on
5980 mixed with jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, April 6 at 0635, the only RHC frequency left, S9+10/20
of undermodulated English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9439.995, April 6 at 2204, R. Cairo, S9+25/30 into
UTwente, English news mostly readable if you concentrate against the
distortion and humwhine. Yet I decline.

Ex-9900 is occupied by CNR1 echo jamming against another Chinese
signal, i.e. RTI, April 6 at 2205, S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [non]. 9420, April 6 at 1656, I tune for VOG to catch it
going off at 1700 like yesterday? Good signal into UTwente, S9+15, but
music at 1658 and announcement are *not* Greek. EPT is already off
uncovering CNR13. No timesignal but mentions ``Radiostantsiyom`` so
Russian-influenced, like Kazakh as some have guessed? 1702 ``Burasi``
as in a Turkic language, ``this is``, like Uyghur as listed. 1703
onward lots of talk.

Alan Roe, Teddington, UK, reports to the WOR iog: ``A later start
today (6 April) for V of Greece - observed crashing-on at 1417 UT
(9420 kHz).`` Christos Rigas, Wood Dale IL, replies: ``Late start was
most likely due to general strike in Greece today. Broadcast employees
were on strike which ended at 1300 UT today. And abruptly off at 1647.
Short shift for the two ERT employees at Avlida today``

Background via Kim Elliott:
```[WOR] Greek City Times on the Voice of Greece Reprieve
Given recent restrictions and interruptions to the internet, the Greek
Defense Ministry thinks the imminent demise of shortwave is a
non-starter ...

or
https://twitter.com/kaedotcom/status/1511702524318957574

``The closure of the analog broadcast of the Voice of Greece has been
delayed, even temporarily. With a decision taken last Wednesday and
signed by ERT CEO George Gabritsos, the public radio and television
announced that at the request of the Ministry of Defense, the Avlida
shortwave broadcast centre will remain active until May 31, when
re-evaluating the conditions for further continuation or not of its
operation.

In an earlier decision, ERT had stated that its broadcast on shortwave
would end yesterday, March 31, and had addressed the Ministries of
Foreign Affairs and Defense “to decide whether they want the
continuation of the shortwave broadcasts, as well as the acquisition
of ownership and the operation of the shortwave operation at their own
risk“.

Yes, those 3 frequencies part of the story, altho only 9420 is active
for certain; nominal schedule seems M-F 1230-1700 UT only (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed April 6 at 2208, REE token English is VG into
Maryland SDR; misc. cultural/arts news by Amy; 2217 Justin introduces
9-minute acceptance speech of new director-general-elect of the ILO,
who is from Togo, the first African. Justin never spelt his name ---
this is not TV! --- so I had to search for it: Gilbert Houngbo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.002, April 6 at 2207, VOT news in English is VG into
UTwente, except for lite whine: that`s better than the squeal.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 6 at 0501.5-0508.8, UR1 delayed relay
via WRMI, English segment `Ukraine: Security Issues`, starting UU
language hour. If this time be inconvenient for you, Richard Langley

Next WOR 2133 should be ready early UT Friday April 8 for first
broadcasts at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Transoceanic JBA MW carrier search, April 6 at 0642:
711, 846, 882, 1107; likely resp.: Morocco, Kiritimati, Canary
Islands, Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, April 6 at *1500, mystery Protestant broadcast in
English on air abruptly and I do not catch any ID. It`s S7/S8 into
Missouri SDR; program theme at O&C is hymn ``Blessed Assurance``.
Gospel huxter starts mentioning wildfires at Colorado Springs as if
current or recent. There may be lots of them, but quick search implies
the last major event was December 22, 2021. Goes on to discuss and
instruct on how to pray and how much -- plenty. From visual
references, this is soundtrack of some TV program.

At UTwente it`s S8/9+10 on 11620.001. At Bandung SDR it`s S8/S9. 1510
I attempt some TDOAs: Brisbane/Perth/Bandung lead to -35.80, +118.20,
which is in the Indian Ocean just off the SW tip of Australia near
Albany WA: no, but I am still suspecting RBA Kununurra in NW WA. At
least I find the signal widely audible: S9+10 into Half Moon Bay, CA;
S9/+10 into Kuwait. At 1525, S Korea/Kuwait/Perth lead to somewhere
deeper into the Indian Ocean.

At 1527 the Blessed Assurance theme again, a couple bits of other
tunes, closing with contact info or ID as VOMKorea, off at 1529.7* in
time for Vatican crash start Arabic at *1530.

Mauno Ritola was also listening: ``I can't catch the beginning of the
email address, either. Attached. 73, Mauno``

I reply: ``On your recording the word before @ sounds like Maldives as
unlikely as that seem, or maybe Mouthpiece?`` Meanwhile I have
inquired of their generic address on website, info@vomkorea.com --

``Dear Voice of Martyrs, For the past three days I have been hearing
your shortwave broadcast in English at 1500-1530 UTC on 11620 kHz.
Could you tell me where this is being transmitted from? Thanks,
Glenn Hauser, Oklahoma`` No reply yet as of 2342 UT April 6 (Glenn

Hauser
** CUBA. 6100, April 5 at 0623, only RHC frequency still on, English
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [non]. see GREECE [and non]. 9420

** EGYPT. 9440, April 5 at 2159.5 early timesignal, R. Cairo news
theme and English recognizable altho unreadable with usual extreme
distortion, S7-S9 into Maryland SDR. No signals like this in the
9890-9900-9910 area. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [and non]. 9420.002, April 5 at 1514, no doubt that VOG is
on today, S9+20/30 into UTwente, Greek music and talk, mentions Franz
Kafka; but CCCCCCI audible under. Scheduled now per Aoki are both CNR6
via Beijing site, and CNR13 Lingshi site and both in Chinese. 1559 VOG
IS & ID, more of same next hour until abruptly cut off at 1700 before
any IS & ID, so the day shift is over, and may not return for evening
nor especially overnight = prime time in North America. And thus
audiblizing:

9420, April 5 at 1700, ERT off uncovering what sounds like an NA and
non-Greek talk, in a Turkic language. Again fitting like heard
yesterday as CNR13 in Uighur via Lingshi 725 site, which is between
Beijing and Xian, far from target East Turkistan, land of imperialist
Chicom genocide against Uyghurs. Continues indoctrination talk with
brief music breaks past 1725; and heavy splash from musix on 9410 &
9425. 1727, 9420 itself plays part of one of the ChiCom martial
anthems, and more talk. 1800 recheck now music only until 1805* as
scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 9675.009, April 5 at 2009, ``Inilah ... Radio Sa`udi
International`, good modulation and signal into UTwente, in Indonesian
when Turkish has been scheduled 1800-2100, and before sunrise in
Indonesia! I suspect it`s a temporary Ramadan service for early-rising
breakfasters. 2050 haunting music with echoing, seemingly secular but
with Qur`anic elements; 2056 ``Ramadan Karimi`` [?], more music until
cut off at 2058* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15709.876, April 5 at 1449, JBA carrier way
off-frequency; AWR Chinese scheduled ``15710`` this hour daily via
Trincomalee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 5 at 2201, VOT English S9+10/25 into Maryland
SDR and also UTwente, but with horrible continuous squealing.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2132 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday April 5 at 0030 on WRMIs: into Maryland SDR, 9395 S9+15. 9455
VP S5/S6 with ute? QRM, but into Missouri SDR, 9455 is VG S9+25.

** U S A. 4840, April 5 at 0625, yet again this WWCR`s air is dead, at
S9+40, while the other three are modulating but much weaker, even 3215
which ought to be low enough not to be reduced by propagation. No one
is paying attention at 1300 WWCR Ave (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, April 5 at 1445, WTWW with gospel-huxtering in
English, not Ukrainian or rock music today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, meant to get here before 1500 April 5 to check
out mystery gospel-huxtering in English, but not until 1525, when it`s
only S9 into UTwente with big splash from 11610 CRI East Turkistan.
1528 hymn and 1529* off. But just before 1530 it`s back on or
something is giving e-mail @VOMKorea.com. That`s a big clue. Huge
VATICAN in Arabic does not crash-start 11619.995+ until *1530.

VOM Korea is Voice of Martyrs. Cannot find anything on their website
about SW broadcasts! Hit EN icon and it stays in Korean! Altho
primarily for Korea, HQ in the South, this ministry also goes
elsewhere including India and Africa where English might be useful.
WRTH 2022 shows no such broadcasts on page 518, just three Koreans via
Tashkent, including 1530-1600 daily on 7530 in B-21. Perhaps 11610 now
replace that? But no good with Vatican on it. Unless before 1530 I had
a totally different station. Still no listings in latest HFCC dated
April 5, nor Aoki, nor EiBi, nor in Feb WRTH B21 Updater. When I
recheck 11620 at 1635, Vatican is finished, and nothing else.

Coincidentally just in from Ivo Ivanov, April 5:
``UZBEKISTAN Frequency changes of Voice of Martyrs via RRTM Tashkent
1530-1600 NF 7530 TAC 100 kW / 076 deg to NEAs Korean Daily ex 7525``
but nothing about 11620. And also:

``AUSTRALIA Reach Beyond Australia relay Voice of Martyrs in Korean on
9580 kHz via Kununurra, March 31:
0930-1000 on 9580 KNX 100 kW / 335 deg to NEAs Korean Daily. Very
good via SDR Half Moon Bay, CA in USA``
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2022/04/reach-beyond-australia-relay-voice-of.html

On RBA website, called True Voice of the Martyrs --- nothing about
11620 or at this time on RBA sked, but shows the VOM program could be
relayed elsewhere, and yesterday`s signal on 11620 was good enough to
be RBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
