** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 9 at 1507-1509, no signals from
LRA36 into three Brazilian SDRs checked. Someone in Lancaster PA was
also listening to nothing this Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530, March 8 at 2320, JBA carrier with flutter vs CODAR;
13130 & 13020 likewise at 2321 & 2322, all traditional CNR1 jammer
frequencies against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, March 8 at 2318, RHC presents S9+25 of dead air with
hum, while 13680 is only S6/S7 but managing to modulate Spanish
suptortedly and hummingly. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 7110, March 9 at 0334, R. Ethiopia on AM, good
in presumed Amharic via UTwente; intermittent Slavic ham talk on
exactly 7110 LSB only, evitable if listening in USB. I am not hearing
a separate Ukraine-connected broadcaster as reported the day before by
Robin L Harwood, Tasmania:

``[SWL] unusual broadcast on 7110 kHz. There is a broadcaster on 7110
in a European language with a news/current affairs program. I know
Ethiopia has been there but the announcers are definitely not African.
Frequent mentions of Ukraine with male and female presenters. Signal?
was good at 0400 but is now dropping up and down in QSB. Music bridges
and professional presentation. Language sounds Romanian or Polish.
Anyone also hearing it? 0422 7110 UNID News/current Affairs. Frequent
mentions of Ukraine. Signal was S9 at 0402 but has dropped to S6.
Heard via Albertirsa, Hungary SDR.``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13089 USB, March 8 at 2322, marine weather with geocoörds,
S9, overmodulated and distorted, i.e. NMN, Chesapeake VA. Equally
defective and // on 12788 USB, NMG, New Orleans LA. Anyham would be
ashamed to emit such signals, but not the USCG. Note to editors,
``umlauts`` on English words cannot be replaced by adding an e. They
signify separate syllabification, not vowel quality (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 7780, March 9 at 0200, WRMI with R. Svoboda in Russian,
instead of RAE in Portuguese, which continues on 5800 only, while the
two used to be //. Svoboda is a test as prompted by the crowdfunding
campaign. Seems to be all-talk and continues past 0230 for the rest of
the hour. 7780 on NE antenna makes it OK S9/+15 into UTwente, but no
signal at Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, remote which seems to be funxional,
not blocked or jammed, but maybe too far: east of Moscow about the
same distance as west of Moscow to the Belarus` border.
Yet it`s still too early before local sunrises in Ukraine and western
Russia. Shame on USAGM for being unwilling to employ any of its own SW
transmitters for these.

John Jurasek advises, ``Here's an update just posted to the
Crowdfunding Page: "And, best news of the day; we have a first
mainstream media publicity about what we all have accomplished.
Congratulations to every one of you. This is your story:

https://thehill.com/policy/technology/597411-grassroots-effort-uses-shortwave-radio-to-broadcast-voa-in-ukraine-russia
"``

Hill writer Rebecca Klar just doesn`t get it, both in headline and
body referring to VOA broadcasting on SW ``in`` Russia or Ukraine. The
point is, this is INTO from outside, as it has to be.

Richard Langley reports: ``This is the latest update from the
campaign. Seems last night's broadcast was a test.

"Thanks to WRMI, our one-hour test transmission in Russian (from Radio
Svoboda -- Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) is on the air right now on
7780 kHz. (A clip below of the first minute or so with the station ID
in English followed by the Russian programming as heard on the U.S.
East Coast).

"We are already getting solid reception reports from as far away as
Poland so presumably it also being received in Russia, as well as the
surrounding countries where Russian is widely understood.

"We hope to start the daily transmissions in Russian soon, in addition
to the VOA English program dedicated to Ukraine news which we began
airing Monday. "Thank you again everyone for your contributions.
Without you this would not be happening tonight!"
-- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2128 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday March 8 at
2330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 direct, no jamming audible, but seems
undermodulated. [Much later at 0723 March 9, 9955 is still strong
S9+10, but now pulse jamming against Alex Scourby Bibling on TOMBS.
Way to go!]

As usual zzzz thru Wed March 9 at 1030 on WRMI 5850; anyone hear it?
Yes, Richard Lemke in Alberta: ``Dear Glenn: 5850, hearing World of
Radio #2128, and confirming it, 1029, 1030 (55433), March 9 2022``
Next:
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 15610, March 8 at 2315, WEWN boosted by sporadic E to
S9+15/35 vs default JBA at too-close-for-F2 one megameter distance,
strong enough to hear this transmitter still suffering from squeal. At
first also an echo but that was someone`s earphone bleeding thru on a
phone contact in discussion: too long a delay to be longpath.
Something`s always blimey at Birmingham (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9679 USB, March 9 at 0725, 2-way INTRUDERS, JBA in
Spanish? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 11590, March 8 at 1604, Firedragon music jamming
audible but underneath Chinese, i.e. RFA via TINIAN, adding up to
S5/S7 with a SAH. Long time since I`ve heard any FD, but surely they
can do better with a loud & clear signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 8 at 2045, RHC English seems apolitical at the
moment, but as I was dozing off in nap before 2100 French I think
there was something about Russia. Anyhow, The Other side:

``Russia-Ukraine War --- Castro's support for the invasion of Ukraine
will aggravate shortages in Cuba

The international sanctions against Russia will not only affect Cuba
in terms of tourism, but also as regards loans and collaboration in
industry and transportation.
Roberto Álvarez Quiñones, Los Ángeles 03 Mar 2022 - 16:56 CET

Raúl Castro and Vladimir Putin. AP [caption]

Cubans are greatly ashamed that their country has been dragged as a
State, by the Castroist dictatorial mafia, into line with the new
imperial czar of "all the Russias", Vladimir I (with the same imperial
aspirations of Ivan IV, or Peter the Great) in his invasion of
Ukraine. It is as if in September 1939 the government of Federico
Laredo Bru (controlled by Batista) had shown solidarity with Hitler
when he invaded Poland and unleashed the most devastating war in
history.

Flying in the face of all reason, given its location in the heart of
the West, and its culture, Raul Castro has placed Cuba on the wrong
side. In doing so, the dictatorship has betrayed Cubans, Latin America
and the West, and has isolated Cuba in a move that evokes the betrayal
perpetrated by Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Finland when, together
with Fascist Italy, they sided with Nazi Germany...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1646322970_37850.html

May I suggest that any editors who find the above too off-topic to
publish, at least retain the headline and the link.

Anyhow2, also a reason to remind that due to the imposition of stupid
DST March 13, as a running dog of Yanqui Imperialism, Habana goes from
UT-5 to UT-4, affecting most of their SW timings, causing
consternation abroad where the clox are not, yet wrecked. Thus begins
a Biweek of Confusion until March 27 when most of Europe change their
clox and not coincidentally the A-22 SW season begins, prompting
further time and/or frequency changes; but Cuba usually takes another
week or two to decide what to do; while Mexico, Australia and NZ don`t
adhere to either date. Anyhow2, the first RHC English hour of the day
traditionally moves one UT hour earlier to 19-20 UT but stays on same
frequency, subject to usual switching and/or feed errors.

** EGYPT. 9899.617v, March 8 at 2125, R. Cairo via UTwente, S9+35 but
with extreme distortion, unreadable; 2130 timesignal only a few
seconds late. Something`s always egregious at Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 21282-USB, March 8 at 1603, ``CQ Florida, Parks On The Air,
NC4XL, QRZ`` seems to be the OSOB in phone, altho even 28 MHz is
hopping with F2 per DXMAPS, but none heard here at the edge. Lookup:

** U S A. 15770, Monday March 7 at 2034, checking WRMI reception: MUF
at 12 MHz at Nizhni Novgorod no good; S7-S9 into UTwente during BBB
nonsense; good S9/+15 into PEI remote, better than direct to here way
off the side of the NE beam from Okee. I`m preparing for WRMI`s new
relay of VOA webcast-only `Flashpoint Ukraine` at 2105-2130, so I
stick with PEI.

A crowdfunding campaign bought the WRMI time, since VOA refuses to air
this program on any of its scores of SW transmitters! See
https://fundrazr.com/radiowaves?ref=ab_4cROT3YnWyI4cROT3YnWyI
apparently headed by one Kate Neiswender, Esq., Lake Arrowhead, CA,
US.

Relay starts at 2100 with VOA News, the YL caster admitting at closing
that she`s remote. Isn`t it about time to reopen the VOA Newsroom
safely?

`FPUK` in 25 minutes has a broad roundup of stories from within and
without Ukraine, including outsourced from AP and Reuters. It may seem
inadequate for those of us watching MSNBC & CNN wall-to-wall. And
it`s
M-F only: as we all know, nothing ever happens on Sat/Sun. Anchor
Steve Miller says from next week, March 14, time for it will advance a
sesquihour to 1935 UT -- obviously 60 minutes of it due to imposition
of EDT instead of EST, irrelevant abroad. Can WRMI accommodate that? I
asked Jeff and he says they shall, 1935 still on 15770.

Miller utters ``ya/know`` over and over in an interview, as bad as
Christiane Amanpour. He never mentions this being on SW now, unlike
Steve Herman, W7VOA who twitted about it. For USAGM, SW is a low-
priority almost-obsolete ``platform`` of possible use in the wilds of
Africa.

Last story at 2126 is about a cameraman who was killed when the Kyiv
TV tower was hit, altho it did not collapse. By now the signal via
PEI is fading down; as at 2130 WRMI reverts to R. Prague in French.

R. Prague International was sacrificed for this but still has these
other times on WRMI in English, per skedgrid: 1300/1200 except Sundays
on 9955; daily 2330 on 5850; 0130 Tue-Sat on 5800; 0400/0300 daily on
9955; 0400 daily on 5800. Double/times with a slant refer to airings
on Systems with an upcoming DST change. RPI is of course another
station refusing to do any SW itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Not to be outdone by dead air from only one WTWW, four of The
Cuban Five are deadairing, March 7 at 0704-0706 chex: 5040, S9+30/40;
6060, S9+10/20 with big hum; 6100, S9+20/30 with less hum; 9700, S9+30
of lower hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9490, March 7 at 0711, pulse jamming vs nothing, long after
Radio República via RMI via France is finished, from the incompetent
DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. CNN on unknown satellite frequency, into DTV
cable channel 50 of Suddenlink, Enid, March 6 at 2050-2100 UT is not
breaking up like it was 24 hours ago, when suspected due to solar
transit outage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 9895, March 7 at 0708, ME music at S9/S7, soon ID as
Radio Farda and then English song, ``Have I Told You Lately That I
Love You?`` --- that should win us friends over there. Something new?
Had not noticed before but scheduled all B-21 at 0430-0730, 100 kW at
85 degrees from Biblis, GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, March 7 at 1536, about equal collision
between Turkish jammer and Dengê Welat teaming up on same frequency
except for a fast SAH, and nothing on 11530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 9770, March 7, 1758-1830, one more check for the newly
HFCC-registered revived Russian language on BBCWS via Woofferton
effective March 3: still NO show, listening via UTwente and to
9771-LSB via Nizhny Novgorod KiwiSDR, to be alarmed should a carrier
come on, but never. At least this SDR is not blocked with plenty other
signals on the H2Ofall. Recheking HFCC as of March 7:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=BBC
that imaginary broadcast has been *removed* with nothing else in
Russian to replace it. So, never mind hearing BBC in Russian when
necessary on SW; let alone Ukrainian! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2128 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
March 6 at 2100.7 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, Villa Estense, VG
without QRM into nearby Noale KiwiSDR.

Also confirmed Sunday March 6 at 2330 on WRMI 5950, S9+15/25 into
Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 7 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+20 into
Missouri SDR with nearby storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 7 starting late at 0405 on Area 51
webcast and presumably WBCQ 6160-, after JL runs over. Oops, it`s last
week`s 2127. I email Larry immediately that it should be 2128. Not
monitoring further but catch closing at 0434 by when it is # 2128.
Later Larry tells me that only about one minute of 2127 aired before
he noticed and corrected it. Next:

0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW

** U S A. 4790, UT Monday March 7 at 0300 initial show of WBCQ Concert
Hall on Radio Angela, Uncle Bill introducing, says may have guest
hosts later as show evolves; tonight: Act I of Rossini`s Barber of
Seville. Bill refers us to web for synopsis. I`m listening first via
Maryland remote but there is that pulsing whine and occasional
uteblaaps. To Missouri SDR it`s S8/+10, no whine but nearby storm
crashes. Hunting around for best remote, my comments to WOR iog:

Not so good - Traverse City MI gets storm crashes now at 0315 as would
any in a wide area within hundreds of miles of the storm front from TX
to IN centered over MO. CODAR also audible. I haven`t found a better
one tonight. Wash DC area with less storm noise, no CODAR, but some
other continuous whinepulsing. Brunt of signal is heading right into
the storm area. Not making it at all to UTwente. Chris Smolinski
provides seven Kiwis at Westminster MD. I`m trying 8074 which is
pretty good but still with the DC-area whinepulse in the background.
What is causing that??

It`s tempting to listen to `Encore` classical music on 5950 WRMI,
stronger signal and higher frequency amounting to less storm noise,
S9+10/35 into Missouri, starting with Poulenc, Les Biches. Back on
4790, Act I of BOS is over about 0435 and UB says Act II plays next
week. To fill out the bihour tonight, some PDQ Bach starting with the
1712 Overture. But competition now from another BCQ, 6160, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (6160-), UT Mon March 7 at 0434, Area 51 webcast via WBCQ,
as soon as late-starting WOR 2127/2128 finishes, not HRI but Voice
Pancho Villa, studio recording of a multi-ennial tradition, this
year`s SWL Fest broadcast, which had been reported axually on air
unlike rest of virtual-only proceedings, on 6955 March 6 at 2100-2115
including a full recording:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,94000.0.html
Pretty raunchy, including having Google speak translations into
Russian of various insults against Putin. About 0449 filled with Jean
Shepherd (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, March 7 at 1540, clips of R. Ukraine International,
about culture, music, said by Jeff to be from their final English
webcast before suspension, then about famous Ukrainians. 1543 about
Russian service of RUI, i.e. AWR Wavescan; and on to item about the
finale of Brazuguese DX program Encontro DX, canceled on Rádio
Aparecida. Dozens more opportunities to hear WS this week on WRMI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770 - this just in to the WOR iog via Martyn Williams:
https://twitter.com/W7VOA/status/1500891270100799501
A crowdfunding campaign has resulted in VOA`s `Flashpoint Ukraine` via
WRMI, since VOA itself refuses to air it on SW, starting March 7 at
2105-2130 M-F after the news -- grid shows this will be at the expense
of Radio Prague! 15770 is aimed NE toward Europe, but remains to be
heard how far it may penetrate after dark.

I`ve hinted in the past to Jeff White that he should put at least some
NPR news on WRMI as a public service, offsetting crap like TOMBS,
SMTV, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830, March 7 at 0702, S9+20/30 of dead air from WTWW-1,
while Ted`s Toy, 5085 WTWW-2 continues modublaring, prompting for rock
requests, and ``pinning the needle`` at S9+60 on my R75, hardly ever
happening with a non-local signal. Think of all the hot meals for
needy Lebanese which could have been purchased for the cost of all
that 5830 wasted juice. Unusually, Ivo Ivanov says 5830 was still on
the air and modulating Scriptures for America at 1058. Something`s
always loony at Lebanon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6920-, AM, March 7 at 0211, Slavic? song at S8-S9,
noisy, 0216 English ID as ``--- Radio``, dramatic exchange, still past

I had just seen a reminder of it on the WOR iog altho it was posted at
1752, for the 1900-2100 show, so it`s almost over. Jen in S Florida
and GB in UK take turns with live-tuning segment, but don`t have much
success. He was trying to separate Bahrain from Spain on 1521 kHz

April and May, before taking off until September. Outro music runs

I also took the opportunity to make a quick scan for JBA carriers from
SWBC harmonics on 28-30, 27-28, 23-25 MHz. Maybe at solar max, but
there are so few fundamentals from Latin America any more on 6, 9, 11,
13 MHz bands which might be capable of harmonicizing if they still
existed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) more ham DX below

IIRC, Keaau was BIHI QTH of Dr. Richard E Wood. See also my previous
report for a bunch of ham logs which were not filed under individual
countries: BELIZE, BRAZIL, CAYMAN BRAC, CHILE, COLOMBIA, COSTA RICA,
PANAMA, URUGUAY. And BRAZIL in this report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. CNN, via Suddenlink digital cable ch 50 in
Enid, March 5 at 2053 UT suddenly breaks up video and audio. Could be
anything, but suspect it`s a solar transit outage. I quickly scan
other channels above and below and don`t find any others affected. In
2 or 3 minutes back to CNN, it`s recovered. See:
https://myvalunet.com/special-time-year-solar-interruptions/
Most systems find it too inconvenient to compensate with backup
alternative feeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11840, Sunday March 6 at 1807, urgent tones of
anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH, reactivated after months` absence,
S7-S8 into VE6JY remote Alberta, -10 Hz carrier offset. Tnx to tip
from Rick Barton, AZ in the WOR iogroup. Last previous report of it on
11840 was also by Rick, Saturday November 20, 2011 until 1811*
Maybe back too on night frequency 7470 or 7475? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U K. [bdxc-news] Still no BBC Russian --- Could someone with BBCWS
connexions enquire why the registered new Russian broadcast as of
March 3, 1800-1830 on 9770 via Woofferton, has still failed to appear;
if it is ever starting when and where? The war is on! There was about
one second of a weak carrier cutting on and off at 1759 today,
listening via UTwente. Nor anything at remotes in Russia. 73, (Glenn
Hauser [sent at 1807 UT, not posted until 1854 following moderation
delay], also immediately via WOR iog)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2128 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
March 5 from 2031.7 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, VG into nearby
Warrenton SDR.

Missed checking 0030 UT Sun March 6 on WRMI 7730; anyone hear it?

Confirmed UT Sunday March 6 at 0438 about 7 minutes into so started
circa 0431 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into Knoxville with storm
crashes; S9+10 into nearby MO SDR with heavier crashes closer to the
storms.

As usual, zzz missed checking Sunday March 6 at 1330 on WMRI Europe
via Channel 292, Germany, 9670; did anyone hear it? Next:

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Mar 6 at 0120 tune-in, WTWW-2 webcast for
`TOUTA`. Once you hear this pristine $ tereo webcast you won`t want to
put up with the lousy monaudio on 5085. Starting to wrap up at 0149
with last piece but Ted can`t wait to get back to rock, overriding it
after a few notes. Probably started early before 0100.

Meanwhile, `Encore` on WRMI is mostly simulmissed this time, and I see
that the latest Playlist anyway has not yet been loaded to
https://www.tumbril.co.uk/playlists
I do hear the last dekaminute on 5850 via Knoxville, while Missouri is
buried in storm noise, also audible at KXV. Only other feasible chance
on WRMI will be UT Mon 0300 on 5950 --- exactly same time as début of
WBCQ Concert Hall on 4790 Radio Angela. With so little classical on
SW, a shame has to be at same time as Encore, but UB says it`s the
best logistical time for him. And both will be shifting one UT hour
earlier next week from March 14, so imposition of wacky DST won`t help
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (104.9), UT Sun March 6 at 0442, WCLV Cleveland OH webcast
during `Quiet Hour` announces the date for QSY and power/coverage
increase to 90.3 MHz: March 28. Also during previous 03-04 UT hour,
`Weekend Radio` was a sesquidecade-old repeat from 2007y as revealed
by a `current` news reference; when Robert ``Sagebrush Bob`` Conrad
sounded and was much younger; no explanation. Hope he is not ailing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27300 USB, March 6 at 0012, freebander I guess rather
than legal CBer, a mite with a distinct Oz accent, seems to ID as
``World Radio 304`` in contact with ``World Radio 918``. So where`s
the World Radio callbook? ``It looks like there aren't many great
matches for your search`` --- surely nothing to do with Tulsa or West
Virginia. Could it really be from Oztralia? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
