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.
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

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)

Hauser
** ARMENIA. 1395, April 4 at 1809, no significant signal into Khimki,
Russia remote; while 1386 with R. Svoboda via Lithuania is S9+15/20.
Latest update from Shortwaves for Freedom says the 1395 relay of R.
Svoboda has been retimed to 2100-2200 UT. They do not admit it`s via
Armenia, nor 9370 at 1900-2000; but Ivo Ivanov asserts that the latter
is too ``ERV`` = Yerevan, a.k.a. Gavar.

1395, April 4 at 1951 is making it to UTwente with Dead Brother Scare,
presumably still 1900-2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 11675, April 4 at 1511, Chinese with fast SAH,
presumably CNR1 jammer atop rather than RFA Chinese via SAIPAN during
this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, April 4 at 1503, RHC is S9/+10 but just barely
modulated. 11760, April 4 at 1507, RHC is S9/+10 here of dead air
except for some hum. Somethings always wrongs at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.8, April 3 at 2209 direct, very weak carrier
with het from another 9900.0, presumed Cairo and China? Nothing around
9440, supposed English frequency at 2115-2245. Not checked at UTwente
this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995+, April 4 at 2133, typical R. Cairo, S9+35/40 into
UTwente of extremely distorted and suppressed modulation of music and
talk resembling English. 2158, also with humwhine. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt. But at least Qahiran frequency accuracy has
improved.

9899.99, April 4 at 2131 just before above log, tuned in here to an
open carrier, no mod and shortly off. Then checked 9909.99 and found
an S9 carrier with no mod. Somethings else? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [non]. 9420, Dave Kenny, BDXC-UK was surprised to hear ERT
back on air April 4 at 1500. This should not have been a surprise as
reprieve info indicated it would be M-F only. Some others also
reported it before 1700.

But at 1710 into UTwente, the one station on 9420 is NOT in Greek, nor
musical, continuous talk in unknown language. Maybe Uyghur as CNR13 is
scheduled from Lingshi until 1805, and ERT off again? 1727 a bit of
theme music, back to talk past 1730+. Heavy ACI from 9425 VOK in
Russian.

EiBi is up and 90% complete for A22; time version shows the Lingshi //
to 9420 is 9890; checked at 1741, it seems // but heavy music CCI on
9890, which per Aoki would be V of Korear in Ararbic.

I did not get back to 9420 until 1806, when nothing was left, but
Richard Langley heard via UTwente 9420 CNR13 going off about 1805.
Christos Rigas, Wood Dale, Illinois, says, ``I was hearing VO Greece
today via UTwente between 1445-1700 UT with quite a good signal. I
stopped listening at 1700. When I tuned in again at 1812, there was no
signal of any kind on 9420 kHz``. He speaks Greek fluently and is sure
it was VOG earlier.

9420.003, one more check at 2340 April 4, UTwente lox onto a very weak
carrier, obviously not Greece, maybe China. It seems that under the
reprieve, only two staff are paid for at Avlis, so operational hours
have to be much less than before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, April 4 at 1510, Kurdish? talk, presumed
Dengê Welat, and maybe a second signal under, Turkish jammer? Lately
they have both been here instead of 11540. As of April 4, Ivo Ivanov,
Observer Bulgaria, has this sked showing additional SCB = Bulgaria
relays, but nothing about the Turkish jamming; will that attack two
frequencies at once?

BRB Denge Welat
0230-0530 on 9525 ISS 250 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
0400-0700 on 7285 SCB 050 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
0530-1600 on 11530 KCH 300 kW / 130 deg to WeAs Kurdish
0700-1700 on 11775 SCB 050 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
1600-1800 on 11530 ISS 250 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
1700-2100 on 5935 SCB 050 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
1800-2100 on 9525 ISS 250 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish

So before 1600 when I logged, site would have been PRIDNESTROVYE. With
Putin`s war raging nearby, have there been any disruptions to Russia`s
KCH relays of many foreign services? Any payments going there are in
effect supporting genocide, even if they could agree on what currency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 4 at 2200, REE token English on Monday, S7/S9+5
into Maryland SDR, the only station daring to 16-meter itself to us,
is on average holding up rather well this spring, at least until 2230,
I think better than last year now that sunspots and solar flux are
rising. First news item: about Spain increasing spending on microchips
due to shortages; Amy Egan`s feature after 2209 song, part 2 of
interview with director of Thyssen Museum [not Titian], but it`s hard
to get into a verbal discussion of a supremely visual medium. Sort of
like talking about music rather than playing it (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 3 at 2210, JBA carrier direct but no RTTY,
presumed VOT not making it due to propagation disturbance (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, April 4 at 2200, VOT is S9+50 into UTwente,
allowing expansion to max bandwidth of 13.53 kHz --- but input audio
is lo-fi ``telco quality``! Worse than usual. Overmodulated and
distorted. 2213 `Feeling Supreme` sub-titled`Health Life` [sic?],
about natural cures for kidney stones --- long lists of foods and
beverages which are OK and those which may cause them --- now, which
was which? 2218.5 F.S. outro theme and on to another song. Off before
2300, no bonus German today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 4 at 0501-0506, UR1 via WRMI again with
brief English segment, `Ukraine: Security Issues`, YL announcer.
Richard Langley says there have been two different OMs. I listened a
while longer: there were some patriotic songs such as at 0509, not
just talk in Ukrainian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2132 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 3 at 2001 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+7.

Also confirmed Sunday April 3 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S9+22 into
Knoxville SDR. Still not canceled altho not on sked. BTW, if anyone
run across a surprise WOR time on WRMI, do let me know.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 4 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, VP S8/S9
direct, after spurious ``Bob Zanotti`` between full canned ID and
WOR.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 4 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-,
S9+10 into Maryland remote; dead air at 0328 recheck so I hope that
did not apply to much of it. Did anyone note what happened earlier?

Next:
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

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. 15770, VOA [non], April 4 at 1951 via WRMI, `Flashpoint:
Ukraine`, final item in the 1935 program about hackers texting
individual Russian phones with the truth, S9 via UTwente (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, April 4 at 1504, S9/+10 of rock music from WTWW, just
what they are pining for in Ukraine per Ted`s imagination. Also a SAH,
as during this hour RFA in Chinese is also scheduled via Kuwait: I
doubt USAGM would appreciate the additional QRM to CNR1 jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, April 4 at 0615, S6/S8 of talk and music. R Vanuatu
has extended this frequency instead of QSY to 5040 at 0600, so now I`m
hearing more than a JBA carrier and in the clear, no worries about
QubaRM. And Nigeria has courteously de-adjacented itself from 7255,
but some QRhaM encourages LSB tuning. Ron Howard says there were
Tropical Low weather advisories, heard until modulation cut but still
carrier at 1101. Will RV stay on 7260? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, April 4 at 1509, S9/+20 in English evidently for
kids about drawing images of God? Vatican Radio not scheduled here
until *1530, and no English until 1615. Nothing in Aoki at this hour,
nor A-22 EiBi which is now up and 90% complete as of April 4. Nor in
HFCC which as of 1625 April 4 was last updated April 1! What is this??
So much for assuming one can look it up later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2354 UT April 4

Hauser
** CHINA. 13805, April 3 at 1458, tonal talk at S9/+10 with flutter.
Not sure if Chinese but must have been as until 1500 is CNR1 jamming
and SOH per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, April 3 at 0615, RHC S9+10/20 but in wrong language,
speech in Spanish. 6060 is S9/+10 of dead air in English; 6165 is
S9+20 but just barely modulated; and 5040 is off. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 17770, April 3 at 1447, music at S9 with fast fading as if
SAH from another carrier; but only VOT is scheduled this hour, in
Arabic. Second only to slightly stronger 17855 Spain and nothing else
on 16 m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 3 at 0501-0505, UR1 via WRMI with
English segment only 4 minutes and back to the OM announcer, `Ukraine:
Security Issues`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2132 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday April 3 from 0330 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+8 into nearby
KB0FX SDR.

Despite IRRS NEXUS-IBA schedule for Sunday at 1030 UT showing:
``12:30 Streaming + 9510 kHz English IPAR - World Of Radio``
Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria tells me:

``ROMANIA Unknown px, instead of World of Radio #2132 on 9510 kHz via
RADIOCOM Saftica, April 3: 1030-1100 on 9510 SAF 100 kW / 300 deg to
WeEu English Sun. Video will be added later today``

And from Alan Roe, Teddington, UK: ``Hi Glenn, World of Radio #2132
heard on 3 April starting at 1325 UT (and wrapping-up at 1355) on 9670
kHz on WMRI Europe (via Rohrbach, Germany).`` And the week before he
heard it ending at 1354. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy

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. 9980, April 3 at 1458, S9+30 of WWCR dead air instead of
TOMBS, a glorious respite (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, April 3 at 0612, WRNO is back on air after several
nights AWOL, S9+10/20 in English. Dr Hj Biener first reported it
resumed the night before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9940, from tune-in at 1456 past 1700 April 3,
continuous Ukrainian gospel-huxtering, Bible stories? dramatized with
music, no ID at top of hour or anytime until finally interrupting at
1625, 1629, 1659. Ted is grandiosely calling this SFAW station ``Voice
of Freedom for the people of Ukraine ---``. I think it`s all in UU not
RR but not positive. It is not // any of the three streams on website;
also linx to a transmitter #4 altho there isn`t any - yet? Silence.
WTWW is authorized 24h on 9940, but per HFCC there will be a number of
collisions on such a greatly expanded schedule:

Originally after 1500 no other WTWWs were on: 9475, 5830, 5085. At
1523 I checked one of the HMB remotes on California coast, and 9940
was dominated by Chinese - presumably jammer against USAGM Kuwait that
hour. The imaginary ``15810`` sked shows Russian at 13-14 only, no
Ukrainian but at 15-16 Greek. Before any ID, tried to run TDOA at
1534, which made a wild guess somewhere in the mid-Atlantic ocean. It
was only S6/S7 into Maine remote, but at 1606, S9/+12 into Maryland.
Not rechecked until 1835 by when it`s back to rock music on 9940

** ANDORRA [non]. 6180, April 2 at 1832, VG S9+35/40 into UTwente,
monthly R. Andorra Revival show via AUSTRIA, as previewed by that guy
on WOR, and reminded now by Alan Roe. Classic jazz pieces and quite a
bit of conversation in French only, even applause; 1835 jazz piano.
1858 sounds like a national anthem, Andorra`s? Besides this did the
original station ever have any programming *about Andorra* itself?
Never caught any ID until right at 1859 closing, in Spanish, not
Catalan; and first four notes of AWR theme before chopped off air,
oops. I see that next from Moosbrunn at 1900 is AWR Hausa on 11955.

This reminds me to wonder, despite the huge SW language schedule of
AWR, how many e.g. Hausa, presumably Islamic, they are converting to
Infidels, this particular Christianish sect? Wikipedia says there are
only 21.8 mega-Adventists in the entire world of which 21.4 are of the
Seventh Day. They have a long way to go; e.g. there are 4X as many
Methodists, but split into many more subilx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 2 at 1445-1450, no trace of LRA36
this Saturday into four Brasil, one Uruguay SDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, April 2 at 0216, RHC English is S9/+10 but suptorted,
0300 a little better but unlistenable. See also TURKEY [and non].

By 0557 direct I detect: 6000, S9+10/20 of dead air in English; 6060,
S9+10/20 with OK mod; 6100, S9+20/30; 6165 OFF. 6140 is S4/S5 with no
modulation audible, but probably a leapfrog of 6060 over 6100 another
40 kHz beyond. 5040 is still on but in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FINLAND. Scandinavian Weekend Radio is scheduled on almost-monthly
first-Saturday 24-hour broadcast until 2100 April 2. So I look for it
at 1940 via UTwente: Nothing audible on 5980 or 11690; 6170 has strong
VOA Kurdish via Biblis this hour; 11720 has a weak signal maybe this
when nothing else is scheduled per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE. 9420: Numerous monitors have been trying to hear VOG since
``reprieve`` until May 31 instead of closing as of March 31, but
without success. At 2210 April 2, UTwente is barely locking onto a
weak 9420 signal, probably CNR6 Amoy service; with huge splash from
tinkling HF Chinese music on 9410, i.e. the CRI ``Portuguese`` hour
via East Turkistan. No sign of Greece. As I said before, word may be
slow getting to Avlis site about the reprieve, so let`s hope they
haven`t destroyed anything yet. Not now on 9935 either and I find hard
to believe some blog about that, 1655 also an odd time of day for a
mass broadcast. Keep checking 9420: it used to be on early UT Sundays
for Orthodox mass, lovely music, around 0600/0700 then off for the
rest of Sunday until Monday evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 14580, Sat April 2 at 1821, checking IRRS, 24 hours
after WOR aired on Friday. Music on second harmonic from Kostinbrod,
Bulgaria at S5 with RTTY QRM on USB side only, soon // much stronger
7290, S9+10 with `The Country Jamboree`. Same JBA on MW 1323 under
German from Romania; all via UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 6165, April 2 at 0335, VOT English is just barely
detectable under RHC. Someone concerned about this urged me to notify
RHC. Well, that`s not my job, but I point out that VOT 6165 is not
aimed at us but the ME or S Asia.

7270, despite being an INTRUDER into the exclusive NAm hamband is in
fact for us, and even unto Bonaire is VG S9+10, with `Feeling Supreme`
theme at 0335 April 2. Hams avoid it. During the 03-04 Turkey hour,
RHC listeners have alternative of 6000, should it happen to be
decently modulated. See also CUBA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 2 at 2230, VOT, S9+50! into UTwente with a
feature about biscuits [cookies?] in `Turkey`s Geo-marked[?]
Products`, 2241 `Turkish Cuisine`. Weak RTTY could be heard only after
it closed circa 2255 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 2 at 0500.8 to 0506.5, English `Ukraine:
Security Issue`` from UR1 via WRMI, back to Ukrainian. The opening
from 0500 included a timecheck including ``дватсет час`` = 20 hours,
as if that were the original airtime recorded = 17 UT rather than 00
UT, maybe a repeat already. Anyhow, U:SI is a very well-done summary
of the day`s events, with dramatic stingers, YL announcer and easy to
understand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2132 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday April 2 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/15 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Saturday April 2 from *0412 on WBCQ 4789.979, joined
in progress after having been off the air for 22 minutes from 0350*
during FTIOM. Must have started playback on time at 0400, over at 0429
and sign-off 0430*. They might have waited until transmitter restored
as nothing would follow at 0430 anyway. I bet no one else kept
listening to noise on 4790 pending resumption of WOR. Meanwhile I was
timing the about 2-second-long uteblaaaps, sounding every 4:00 minutes
exactly, such as about 5 seconds past these minutes logged whether
WBCQ was on or not: 0415, 0443, 0447, etc. What and why??

Also confirmed Saturday April 2 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, S9+25/30 into
Maine SDR, S8/S9 into UTwente. Also started slightly earlier than 1930
on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, S9+8 into nearby Warrenton SDR.
ALSO at same time now on a third outlet, WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, now aimed SW,
but only S7/S9, noisy and not solid into Brownsville SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 3 at 0130 on North American webcast of
WRN.

Did anyone confirm the new Unique Radio, Australia broadcast at 0700
UT Saturday on 5035 USB or 3210 USB, or webcast, or via remote? This
and the other one at 1000 Wednesday, and IRRS 9510 at 1030 Sunday are
during my sleep cycle, so would appreciate anyone awake checking.

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. 4789.979, UT Sat April 2 at 0200, WBCQ Radio Angela starting
tonight with repeat of `Polka Party` with Marion Webster & Kristina,
minus 21v Hz displayed by the SAM of Maryland SDR. And after 0300
repeat of `From the Isle of Music` --- but dumps off the air at 0350*
and not back until *0412 during WORLD OF RADIO, q.v. (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, April 2 at 0211 check, this WRMI is still OFF, and so
is its parasite on 4975. Ditto at 0328. Fortunately, #4 carried
nothing but TOMBS cult except for one hour of the SMTV cult. Maybe
TOMBS funding reduced for Q2? But still on skedgrid.

5985, April 2 at 0329 and later, no signal either from WRMI-2, still
on skedgrid as 0330-0430, longer on weekends. But NHK canceled its
Spanish at 0400-0430 at Marchend, so no longer worth running this at
all? Could be transmitter/antenna problem; all other signals are
nominal at 0330: 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 7780, 9395, 9455, 9955.
At 0335 recheck 5985 at Bonaire SDR: not even a trace like there was
last night during WOR, exciter only? No mention, inquiries or
explanations about these on disgraced FB of WRMI, but here is some
news:

``WRMI Radio Miami International
Yesterday [April 1] at 7:37 PM · [EDT?]

Nuevo Programa en WRMI: Radio Free América Latina

La Organización por la Defensa de la Soberanía de las Repúblicas de
América Latina, a través de su agencia informativa ha creado Radio
Free América Latina.

Radio Free América Latina tiene como propósito informar a la audiencia
sobre hechos conocidos y menos conocidos de las acciones del Partido
Popular de China sobre América Latina en los aspectos económicos y
políticos. Esto, con el fin de alertar de manera temprana a nuestras
naciones sobre las posibles consecuencias sobre las soberanías en un
futuro no muy lejano.

Más recientemente también alertamos sobre la acciones del gobierno de
Rusia sobre América Latina, por medio de los gobiernos de Cuba,
Nicaragua y Venezuela, y de los peligros que corren naciones como
Colombia. Horario:
Jueves 8:00 pm Hora del Este (0000 UTC Viernes) en 9955 kHz
Sábado 0000 UTC en 7780 kHz``

So is it partly in English like its name?? And is the word Radio
pronounced as Spanish or English? Too late to hear it until next week
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, April 2 at 1435, no signal from this WRMI despite it
being Sabbath-service time at TOMBS. Possibly on, while propagation is
quite disturbed: 9395 & 9455 only JBA carriers. WWV reported:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 01 April follow.
Solar flux 147 and estimated planetary A-index 17.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 02 April was 2.

Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.
Solar radiation storms reaching the S1 level occurred.
Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.

Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be moderate.
Solar radiation storms reaching the S1 level are expected.
Radio blackouts reaching the R2 level are likely.``

BTW, 10000 WWV at 2318 April 2 chopped off the prop info incomplete,
since like above it took over 45 seconds to read! And the WWVH
timechex at :45 must not be overridden (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2097.3 CW, April 2 at 0600, single-letter beacon A every
10 seconds, quite audible despite storm and line noise. For the record
still active, and also several times recently I did not bother to log.
From anywhere but Quartzsite, Arizona (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
