Friday, April 08 2022
** 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: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0400 UT Saturday WBCQ 4790 to WSW 0700 UT Saturday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB [new] 1930 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0430] 1324vUT Sunday WMRI Europe via Ch 292 Germany 9670 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [to be canceled? still Apr 3] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed] 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB [new] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Russell Lay, Nags Head NC, for a contribution via PayPal not necessarily in US$ to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, 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) This report dispatched at 2038 UT April 8

** 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.

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, WOR) This report dispatched at 0155 UT April 8

Thursday, April 07 2022
** 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 ... https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/04/02/voice-of-greece-granted-a-reprieve-still-broadcasting-for-2-more-months/ 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“.

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, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2345 UT April 6

Tuesday, April 05 2022
** 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. Next: 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB [new] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Keith Konnerth, KC8YJW, for a contribution via PayPal not necessarily in US$ to woradio at yahoo.com and says, ``keep the Ukraine info coming.`` One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** 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) This report dispatched at 2221 UT April 5
