** BRAZIL. 9818.675, March 23 at 0627, JBA talk here, presumed the always off-frequency R. Nove de Julho. Sometimes has been slightly above 9819 but never attaining nominal 9820 as in WRTH where you`d never know about its signature offfrequenciness. EiBi latest had it on 9819.1 but Aoki can`t stand any decimals, not even 9819 but ``9820`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9965, March 23 at 0625, pulse jamming against nothing! It was in July 2011 when I first noted that Radio República, ELCOR Costa Rica transmitter was missing from 9965, and also from 5954+. By then RMI was carrying it via Sackville. weekends only on 9490 - later moved to France. So Cuba has been incompetently jamming 9965 the 10+ years since, just in case. ¡Viva la polución! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, March 23 at 0649, only RHC English frequency still on, S9 with hum; but 5040 continues in Spanish, S9+30, blocking any Vanuatu. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, March 23 at 1523, RHC S9/+10 of humbuzz only, and ACI from 11765 China. By now both 13700 & 13740 are off as well as 15230, but 15140 remains JBA in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN [non]. 15629.837, March 23 at 1439 and still 1519, JBA carrier with Doppler flutter. Only thing anywhen listed on ``15630`` is Iran International TV audio from UK via UZBEKISTAN, which is well known for its offfrequenciness. But both EiBi and Aoki show it only until 1330; extended? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MONGOLIA [non]. 5800, UT Wed March 23, I hear almost all of Voice of Mongolia`s new relay via WRMI at 0130 Tue-Sat: good signal via Brasilia #1 KiwiSDR, tuning in at 0134. Entire broadcast presented by one woman, name unknown; she has some accent requiring more careful than casual listening. News? items first include; today is anniversary of first space flight by a Mongolian in 1980 by the USSR. UN ranx Mongolia #62 in happiness, out of 146; and some other survey rankings. 0146 end news, Poetry Break and Water Issues coming after some music. Poem presented in English is ``I will become grass in the east``, unfortunately hard to follow, maybe loses something in translation? 0145, Water Issues: today 22/3 is World Water Day. Mongolia deals with dryness, degraded waterness; includes an interview with someguy, more difficult accent; explains river drainage patterns. 0157 ending, some nice EZL music hardly Mongolish; 0159 sign-off starts to give own 12### SW frequency at 0900 but cut off for WRMI `Everglades` ID - plenty of H2O there! Squeezed between two great autocratic dictatorships, and below the radar in world news, I wonder, How democratic is Mongolia? https://freedomhouse.org/country/mongolia/freedom-world/2021 but seems to have been a setback in 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 23 at 1945, R. Svoboda S9+35 into UTwente, but distorted from presumed Armenian defective transmitter. Also has a het from 9372, jamming? But into Khimki, Russia SDR, good S8-S9 somewhat noisy with no het or jamming. Off at 2000* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, 12030, 11940, 11685, Wed Mar 23 at 2308 check, token English from REE manages all four frequencies, all VG except 11685 into Maryland SDR; a report about Beirut (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.000, March 22 at 2300, into UTwente, nothing audible, but Synch locked on to S7 of exact frequency; no VOT! By 2319, S9+10 nothing but Chinese from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. VOT to North America in English totally absent. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 5960, March 23 at 2309, VOT English back on air, S9/+10 into Maryland remote, good modulation but considerable hum, ending Review of the Turkish Press. Carrier offset +17v Hz. 2318 `Feeling Supreme` natural cures for insomnia including rosemary, cherry pie, ginseng, lemon grass tea, lavénder tea, mint tea, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 23 at 0504-0509.5, English segment otherwise Ukrainian from Ukrainian Radio via WRMI, which I tuned from 0459; VG into Maryland SDR, ``Ukrainian Security Issues``, to put it mildly, usual too-rapid reading. I recorded it all and debate whether I can spare that much precious World of Radio 2131 time to spread it for the record. If not, may provide it all on my website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees, Dear Glenn: World of Radio #2130, confirmed, below with Details: WBCQ: 6160, S9 signal, 0325 (433), QRM 6165 kHz [Cuba], almost missed 2130, program went into Hobart, 0329, March 21 UT 2022 [Mon] (Lemke, Richard -AB) WRMI: 9395, QRN, 0139, 0145, 0158 (45433), 0159, March 19 UT [Sat] 9395, old tv set noise, 0030, 0042, 0055 (45433), 0058 March 22 [Tue] 9955, jingle, hear me again, 2259, March 22 UT [Tue] 5850, first morning in years slept 1545 UT, missed the time, sleepy, 1030, March 23 UT [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Confirmed Tue March 22 after 2230 on WRMI 9955: S9/+10 direct; later S8/S9 into UTwente way offbeam; S5-S7 into LU4AD Argentine SDR; S7-S9 into Brasília #1 SDR by 2258 over a bit of jamming. Fortunately? I awakened at 1055 and confirmed the 1030 Wed Mar 23 on WRMI 5850, VG direct; 1059 closing stepped on so my last few words were overridden, why? Happens consistently on some WRMIs, not others. My files are never over 29:00 exactly. Also confirmed Wed Mar 23 at 2124 the 2100:21 in WBCQ 7490v, S9/+15 into Maryland SDR. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support. Contributions via PayPal not necessarily in US$ to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. From disgraced FB: ``WRMI Radio Miami International Yesterday at 4:30 PM · [March 22 at 2030 UT?] Just a quick note to advise our listeners that the antenna repair on 7730 kHz has been completed, and this frequency will transmit as scheduled beginning immediately. Please note that 7730 beamed to Mexico, Western North America and the South Pacific will change to 7780 kHz this coming Sunday March 27 for the A22 season, and our frequency of 7780 beamed to Eastern North America and Europe will switch to 7730 kHz.`` [also via Alan Roe] Good, but 7730 was *not* on the air immediately. It had been scheduled starting at 0000 UT. I left a receiver on that frequency and it was vacant all evening UT March 23. However, when I quit at 0646 there was a JBA carrier incomparable to booming 7570; probably ChiCom jammer as 7730 is also a 24-hour Sound of Hope frequency. Maybe 7730 WRMI will be back on by 0000 UT Thursday March 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, March 23 at 1917, missed checking whether RFPI in Russian be again on WRMI at 1900 Wednesday, but mostly music until 1930 VOA News, and 1935 `Flashpoint Ukraine`. First via UTwente, only S6-S7 and with RTTY QRM on the low side, evitable by USB-only tuning. At Maryland SDR, no sign of the RTTY and VG S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9346.182v, March 23 at 0631, weak gospel huxter in English citing Acts V. I am hearing this only in USB mode where there is also a reduced carrier. I never hear it sliding, but it keeps jumping downward; shortly 9345.76, 9345.44 hardly giving me a chance to precision it. As I keep tuning downward, obviously spur out of 9330 matching WBCQ SuperStition with World`s Last Chance at S9+30/40 --- no more weak signal now! So at 0636 I hunt for a matching spur on the ~16+ kHz minus side of 9330, but do not find any around 9314; however it`s clear that there is Super-splash down to 9310 or so. By 0638 the upspur is about 9345.79. At 0642 there are traces of algo around 9313 in LSB without carrier but evasive, can never lock onto it. So the SS needs a bit of work to get rid of this stuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9939.991, March 22 at 2248, S9+15 of rock into UTwente as WTWW-2? Is again active up here. ``9940`` registered for 40 degree antenna, good for Europe unlike the others except even rarer 15810. No 9940 at 2334 check March 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 2350 UT March 23

** BOTSWANA. 15730.302, March 22 at 1915, JBA carrier with flutter, way off-frequency. Only thing scheduled is VOA in French until 1930 when Grimesland takes over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 17585, March 22 at 1435, Chinese S7/S9 with flutter, the SSOB by far with only a few JBA carriers elsewhere on 16m. It`s CNR1 jammer // 9660, this hour only against VOA Tibetan via Biblis, GERMANY. Propagtionally, this would need to be from western ``China``, such as East Turkistan, ChiCom-occupied ``Xinjiang`` in order to be effective into ChiCom-occupied Tibet, a single hop away over partial daypath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13740, March 22 at 1438, S9+10 of dead air, obviously RHC, supposedly running until 1500; while 13700 is only S9 and undermodulated; also fails to produce any spurs circa 65-70 kHz above and below, none heard in several weeks. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, March 22 at 1920, S9/S7 of humbuzz, obviously RHC but no programming, off at 1921*. Maybe a test. Aoki guesses 11760 is in a break 1800-2200; EiBi, 1800-2100. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 9856 approx., March 22 at 1456, extremely distorted FMish talk, signature of parasitic spurblob from a nearby frequency. With a second receiver I quickly match modulation peaks to clear 9800, which is VOA Korean via Tinang! Further confirming this is a matching spurblob about 56 kHz below on the other side, 9744 approx. All three are off by 1500, but a weaker signal remains on 9800, i.e. Nippon no Kaze in Korean via TAIWAN. Tinang aims 21 degrees toward Korea which carries on well into deep North America, fundamentally or otherwise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 22 at 1934, R. Svoboda relay is S9+8 into Izhevsk, Russia SDR, somewhat overmodulated distorted; also splattering at least 9350-9390 by 1957; at first a bit of `clatter` jamming? But its own defectivity from ARMENIA? is the main obstacle. Even worse into UTwente, S9+30 and same splatter range; off at 2000* after ID and almost starting another hour. We`re still awaiting news of more transmissions funded by Shortwaves for Freedom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11815.722, March 22 at 1448, TRT again way off-frequency hetting weaker Japan 11815.0, and no Turkish modulation audible. Wolfgang Büschel puts it at 11815.721 at 1414 today; and Ivo Ivanov 11815.7 from 1400 presumably until 1655. Zach Liangas, Greece says 11815.72 is correct at 1609. My independent measurement yesterday 24 hours ago was 11815.737. I admit that my last digits may be slightly approximate. Various other TRT frequencies are inexact but not as far off, so are they deliberately mistuning this one day after day? Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565 CW, March 22 at 1437, HIFER beacon K6FRC is JBA from Patterson CA, allegedly only 1.8 milliwatts; today no sign a sesquikHz lower of YSO Yellow Springs OH: that one is normally too close for skip without a little help from the sporadic E: 795 statute miles = 1279 km; while K6FRC is 1283 stmi = 2065 km (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday March 22 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 & 9455 both S9+25 into Missouri remote, indistinguishable in strength and modulation; unlike a previous comparison into an east-coast remote, when 9455 was extremely inferior; what changed? And this time no fading down by 0058, still VG. OTOH, more diversity is called for. Next: 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support. Contributions via PayPal not necessarily in US$ to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 9455, March 22 at 1504, weak fluttery signal must not be WRMI, since it`s much stronger on nearby 9395 with same nominal parameters. Otherwise on 9455 at this hour: CRI Chinese via Kunming. Not unusual for 9455 WRMI-5 to be partially missing from 24/7 on the grid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, March 22 at 1506, WLCR gospel huxter in English via WBCQ is only poor S3/S6. How can this be with 500 kW? Axually HFCC registered as only 250 kW, 300 degrees toward W Canada at 14-16. But Bulgarian DX blog: ``USA WLC Radio changes on 9330 kHz via Monticello, March 17 0300-0557 on 9330 BCQ 250 kW / 250 deg to CNAm English 0600-0655 on 9330 BCQ 250 kW / 225 deg to ENAm English 0700-0757 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 057 deg to SPAI Spanish 0800-0857 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 057 deg to GERM German 0900-0957 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 057 deg to FRAN French 1000-1057 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 057 deg to U.K. English 1100-1157 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 190 deg to NSAm Spanish 1200-1355 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 220 deg to CeAm Spanish 1400-2155 on 9330 BCQ 250 kW / 256 deg to WCAN English 2200-2257 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 190 deg to NSAm Spanish 2300-0255 on 9330 BCQ 500 kW / 170 deg to BRAS Portuguese Публикувано от Observer в 1:11 PM`` Same situation at 1925 recheck, 9330 only VP S2/S4; yet closest other SW station, 9265v WINB is S9/S6. 256 degrees is close to our angle from Monticello and certainly all south of the border; so the weak signal is still unexplained (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15450, March 22 from 1657 past 1730, no signal into UTwente or Kuwait SDR. An unnamed broadcast in Persian was supposed to test at this time and date, per Ivo Ivanov on March 3: ``New clandestine broadcast is registered in B-21 HFCC Database via TDF Issoudun 1700-1730 on 15450 ISS 150 kW / 088 deg to WeAs Persian eff. from March 22 via WRMI Broker --- Публикувано от Observer в 4:45 PM`` Despite RMI in HFCC, Jeff White told me it`s not WRMI-brokered. Then Ivo said the date for it was March 20, but I did not see that in time, nor did anyone? check for it. That`s also in HFCC dated 12 Mar as applying to 20 March only, not with RMI: ``15450 1700 1730 40 ISS 150 88 0 217 1234567 200322 200322 D 17400 Fas F TDF TDF 11203`` Wolfgang Buschel replies: ``What? but in A-22 RMI requested via TDF FMO? 15450 1600 1630 40 ISS 150 88 0 217 1234567 270322 291022 Farsi F RMI TDF 4389 Ir`` Current RMI skekgrid as of March 22 dated March 13 does not show anything on 15450 or for Iran via TDF. Note: March 22 is significant in Iran, date DST starts associated with equinox = Nowruz = New Year 1401 of March 20, UT +4.5 instead of +3.5, accounting for 1700/1600 UT change of so far unconfirmed, imaginary, unattributed broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15610, March 22 at 1914, no signal from 250 kW WEWN which is supposed to start English at 1900; yet pennywhistle 15555 USB WJHR is audible from nearby. What would Mother Angelica say? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, March 22 at 1922, classic rock at S9+10/20 from WTWW-2, more active lately on this frequency. No others checked are on air now: 9475, 5830, 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2030 UT March 22

** CHINA. 13130, March 21 at 1359 Chinese S9 with flutter until timesignal and off 1400*. Just in time heard JBA carrier of another CNR1 jammer on 13020; but 13530 was already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 12120, March 21 at 1416, Chinese from CNR1 jammer, S9+10/20 and // weaker one on 9660. Blows away the RTTY always on 12120 which EiBi says is NAU US Navy Puerto Rico STANAG but this is not STANAG noise. Axual target this hour is VOA Chinese via Philippines, hardly audible; while 9660 vs R. Taiwan International (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 9900, March 21 at 2245, Cairo is already off, and not nearby either; rather, echoing Chinese talk from double CNR1 jamming against Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12000, March 21 at 0557, RHC English with jazzy music S7/S8 = 2 x 6000 where it`s S9+20, and overmodulated/distorted on both. No signs of 2 x other 49ms, 6060, 6100 or 6165, on 12120, 12200, 12330, but always check for them. Aoki shows 6000 as Quivicán site, the others Bauta. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. Correcting one time: English from 2115, not 2315: 9884.803v, March 20 at 2112, here we go again, R. Cairo on yet another frequency, in B21 for French until 2115, S9+30 totally distorted music into UTwente. Maybe about to move for totally distorted English from 2115? Was 9909.8 yesterday, ex 9899.8 before that. So it pays to tune around the area. However, at 2202 recheck now it`s on 9899.802, S9+40. At 2353, more than an hour after English would have finished, now it`s polluting 9909.951. Probably off circa 2400 like yesterday. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9899.8, March 21 at 2158, S9/+10 direct of distorted music, 2200 trace of timesignal, classic R. Cairo news theme, unreadable when talking. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, March 21 at 1517, ``island music`` S5-S7 into BC remote, got to be SIBC running all-night; still past 1600 with no ID break; next check 1627 faded to JBA, carrier offset -2v Hz. WRTH and Aoki show SIBC break at 1200-1900; EiBi 1203-1900 except irr. music at 1203-1500 only. LSR at remote approx. 1445 UT. This is well after Ron Howard`s usual monitoring span until 1300 or so; he commonly hears it as much as 6 hours earlier over full darkness path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030 > 11940 > 9690 > 11685, March 21 at 2314, REE token English on M/W/F, in decreasing order of strength and readability, the NAm channel of 9690 ranking a poor third behind ME and SAm beams as received direct here via indoor longwire during storm. An Amy Egan feature about literature? From next week 17855 ex-9690 with quite different propagatory challenges, and at 2200 ex-2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 12035.034, March 21 at 1417, VOT VP S5/S7 and off-frequency as usual, toward end of 1330 English to Europe, and NAm beyond. In A22 from March 27 shall QSY to 15450v and earlify an hour to start at 1230, unlikely propagating any better. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11815.737, March 21 at 1442, carrier making big het with 11815.0 Japanese, NHK. TRT Turkish has been colliding here for years at 14-15 in B seasons, but much further off-frequency than usual. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Can`t make out any modulation on it. In A-22 the 13-16 Turkish broadcast moves to 9840v. Ivo Ivanov also noticed TRT today on ``11815.7`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11540, March 21 at 1433, Turkish music jammer at S9/+10 and can`t tell if Dengê Welat victim be under it, but nothing on alternate 11530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13563.5 CW, March 21 at 1403, HIFER beacon YSO from, where else, Yellow Springs, Ohio, JBA and had to strain at least a minute for certain copy; vs CODAR and meanwhile no K6FRC on 13565 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 9550.045, March 21 at 0603, VOA news in English, S5/S7. Of course it`s SAO TOME E PRINCIPE site which can`t make accurate frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday March 21 at 0258 the 0230 on WRN North America webcast: from next week should be at 0130. Also confirmed UT Monday March 21 from 0301:28 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus 56 Hz = 6159.944, into Missouri SDR, but heavy ACI from 6165 RHC so need LSB or SAL mode to minimize it. If RHC be back on 6165 to stay for the next octomonth, everything on 6160 is in for a bad spell: at least toward the east, RHC also suffers from WBCQ ACI. Operating two nearby stations 5 kHz apart is asking for trouble and would be avoided by competent frequency management: but Cuba refuses to participate in HFCC, and once on a frequency, WBCQ heavily resists any moving. After A-22 settles in, there should be a better spot for WBCQ on 49m at night, if not 24/7. Next: 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to NNW 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support. Contributions via PayPal not necessarily in US$ to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check in US$ on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 21280 USB, March 31 at 1935-1947+, TA ham working pileups of N American east-coasters. They NEVER utter the DX call, only their own until they finally if ever break thru the pileup. His signal relatively weak, and doesn`t give his call often either. Once I thought I heard OH0##, which would be the off-Finnish radio country of Åland Island, but soon checking DX clusters can`t find any reports of that or anything similar on this frequency. What frustration. Excuse me, but I would not consider a ham contact complete unless each station utter at least once, both calls. Is that too much to ask? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0028 UT March 22

** CUBA. 15730, March 20 at 2239, weekly Sunday third broadcast of Esperanto from RHC confirmed at S9+15 into Missouri SDR, overmodulated and distorted, much stronger than Spanish on 15370. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Last week I confirmed second airing at 1500, but not yet the first which should be at 0700 on some 6 MHz channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9884.803v, March 20 at 2112, here we go again, R. Cairo on yet another frequency, in B21 for French until 2115, S9+30 totally distorted music into UTwente. Maybe about to move for totally distorted English from 2315? Was 9909.8 yesterday, ex 9899.8 before that. So it pays to tune around the area. However, at 2202 recheck now it`s on 9899.802, S9+40. At 2353, more than an hour after English would have finished, now it`s polluting 9909.951. Probably off circa 2400 like yesterday. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 15100, Sunday March 20 at 1958, anti-christ pirate Station YHWH, Josiah with his usual rants, S8/S9 into a VE6JY KiwiSDR in Alberta, SAM showing minus 12 Hz = 15099.988. Tnx to WOR iog tip from Chris Smolinski who was barely hearing him in Maryland at 1952. YHWH was also active on 15100 the daytimes of March 16 and 19, but I missed those. This time I hasten after 2000 to perform TDOA, using three sites in western N America. Eventually they agree that YHWH is in the Salem, Oregon area. I withhold the `probable` coordinates, which are unlikely to be precise anyway. Perhaps some DXer around there could track him further with a groundwave signal. But one reply https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,94655.0.html says he seems local in the northern Mojave desert, California. Still on at 2008 and at 2014 I check 15100 direct to find a JBA signal; left on via VE6JY in the background, Days of Hard Life themesong at 2025, a bit more talk and soon off. Or was it 2035 in my original logscribble (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, continued from previous report, R. Svoboda in Russian continued until 1959.7* March 20, ID and off; via Khimki SDR in Russia. No jamming audible. Vlad the Mad must be sad he didn`t keep jammers on standby (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March 20 after 2100 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, Villa Estense, S9+12 into nearby Noale SDR. First chance to be sure I`m on IRRS this week with Friday 1915 pre-empted and 2130 repeat missed checking. Also confirmed Sunday March 20 after 2100 on WRN European webcast. Also confirmed Sunday March 20 at 2230 on WRMI 5950 -- replaced on skedgrid like last week but not yet, still running again. As expected, 7730 is still off the air so not UT Monday at 0030 March 21.

** AUSTRIA. 11880, March 20 at 0603, S5-S8 music with flutter. Not // 6000 so not RHC error. Aoki shows AWR in Arabic via Moosbrunn at 0600-0700. With the First Day of Spring! overnight hi-latitude MUFs beginning to perk up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 13130, March 20 at 1458, JBA carrier with Doppler flutter, CNR1 jammer; also a tad better with music on 13020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [and non]. 11660, March 20 at 1459, Chinese and VOA closing with YDD, S9+10 via THAILAND, mix with other music from CNR1 jammer, timesignal 1500 and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, March 20 at 0641, HC English VG now after France/Japan collision until 0630. Also still on good 6100, and less good 6060 with hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, March 20 at 1456, weak music S7-S9 with Doppler flutter. Hooray, KBSWR so-called N American service is beginning to show on First Day of Spring at 1533 UT. Their totally bonkers frequency management keeps it here yearound, lost in space all winter but maybe somewhat listenable by midsummer: 13-14 English, 14-15 Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, March 20 at 0640, XEPPM with fado music amid its eclectic, you-never-know-what format; S9+10 sufficient but wish they could keep the modulation louder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA [non]. 1395 kHz, March 20 at 1802, R. Svoboda still here, via ARMENIA; S9+10 but heavy ACI unless narrowed from much stronger 1386 // Russian via Radio Baltic Waves, LITHUANIA, monitoring via Khimki, Russia SDR. Ironically this MW funded by Shortwaves for Freedom. 1395 remains on past 1900 switching to TOMBS cult, as IDed at 1926 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 20 at 1858 tune-in via Khimki, Russia SDR, R. Svoboda already on the air like MW 1395, here S9+15/20 atop presumed VOA Thailand which goes off 9370 by 1900 leaving novosti from R. Svoboda in the clear. Wonder how early on air today, 1830? to compensate for late 1930 start yesterday? Still suspected Gavar, ARMENIA site like 1395. By 1935 some singing is interspersed on 9370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K O G B A N I [non]. 13865, March 20 at 0608, English news about Ukraine, mostly American accents; could it be VOA? Of course not! Aoki shows BBC via VATICAN during this hour; and also 13865 05-06 via Madagascar. With the First Day of Spring! overnight hi-latitude MUFs beginning to perk up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring, next: 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [another cancellation] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW [but 7730 down until Tuesday?] 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to NNW 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support.
