** 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. Next: 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.

** 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.

** BRAZIL. 28482 USB, March 19 at 2218, PY1JDX, clear fonetix, among a few trans-equatorials poking thru on 10m. from: https://www.qrz.com/lookup/py1jdx
``PY1JDX Brazil flag Brazil Paulo de Tarso M. Bastos, Rua J. Henrique Cordeiro, 70,b.2 ap.1406, Barra da Tijuca - Rio de Janeiro, RJ 22631450, Brazil PY1JDX KN6NOE 2022-03-19 22:19 10m USB 55 55 PY1JDX N2EWM 2022-03-19 22:14 10m USB 55 55 My QTH is on Barra da Tijuca (Neighborhood), Rio de Janeiro (City), RJ (the same name State/province), Brazil. It is on a condominium apartment building, where it is quite hard to install big antennas. For that reason I can satisfactory operate only on 15, 12, 10 meters, and higher frequencies bands. Meu QTH é na Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil. É em um prédio de condomínio de apartamentos, é assim um local difícil de se instalar grande antenas, sendo assim só posso operar satisfatoriamente em 15, 12, 10 metros, e bandas de frequencias mais altas. My HF antenas are a vertical (5.5 meter long) and a Dual Band Moxon (10 & 6 meters). As antenas de HF são uma vertical (de 5m de comprimento) e uma Moxon de duas bandas (10 & 6 metros). Yaesu FT857D is the primary radio. I always operate with an SDR receiver (SDRPlay), a workstation and CAT control of my radio. Meu radio principal e um Yaesu FT857D. Sempre opero com um receptor SDR (SDRplay), uma estaçao de trabalho (PC) e controle remoto do radio (via CAT). {sic, partially accented} Sobre mim / About me : https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulotarsobastos/ [senior RF systems engineer freelance; formerly associate professor, UNISAT; satellite systems engineer, Star One; test engineer at Embratel]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, March 19 at 2212, RHC S9+30 with hum, French undermodulated. 11850 is also on JBM presumably Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT [and non]. 9909.803, March 19 at 2226, surprise! Radio Cairo has bumped up 10.0 kHz for the scheduled 2115-2245 English, pointless since it`s still the totally broken modulation. First direct at S9/+20 then Synch measured by UTwente at S9+30. That leaves 9900 open for the China/Taiwan radio war including Doppler jiggling signal. 9909.803 does not go off at 2245 but horrible noisy carrier stays on and by 2259 there is *still* CCCCCCI also on 9910, this time China vs RFA Tibetan via Kuwait at 23-24 only. 2300 timesignal and East Is Red // on 9900 & 9910. Then I notice that UTwente synchs it now on 9910.002. Cairo noise stays on until 2359.7* with some modulation of unknown language but could be Arabic imaginatively scheduled from 2330. Does not anyboss in charge ever turn on a radio and hear how it sound?? Look at this: A22 coordination shows a bunch of different frequencies all still on 9 MHz band, but not including 9910; 2115 English supposedly on 9440 which has been the distorted Albanian frequency at 1500; that goes to 9410; playing random selexion games?: http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A22&broadc=ERU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, Sat Mar 19 at 1900, NO signal from the new secret relay of R. Svoboda in Russian: had been coming on with a carrier overlap, immediately VOA Pashto close via Thailand after brief YDD at 1900. Still nothing several minutes later. But Manuel Méndez, Spain says Svoboda cut on at *1930, and then I hear it at 1943, clear S9+25 into Khimki, Russia SDR, but clatter QRM into UTwente, not as bad as yesterday. Off again by 2000*. Maybe Shortwaves for Freedom was paid up today for only half an hour from Armenia? Did not check 1395 kHz before 1900, assuming it would still be there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: confirmed new time March 19 of Saturday 1930 on WRMI 15770, VG S9+8 into Maryland SDR. This hour is officially on System B, which most of the time feeds 9955, so hoped would also be webcast, but that had fill music, nor the BS which remained on SW 9955. Also confirmed Sat Mar 19 at 1929 already underway on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG into nearby KB0FX SDR, about 2 minutes into so started slightly early circa 1927 - this does not mean the evening repeat will be earlier than 0315. Also confirmed Sat Mar 19 at 2030 on additional time of WRN webcast to N America; should also be at 2100 on European stream. As warned, not confirmed UT Sun Mar 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7730 as that transmitter`s antenna is down for repairs, so off the air but hoped to return by Tuesday. Wish they could hook up to another antenna in meantime even if wrong azimuth. Also confirmed UT Sunday March 20 until 0355 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentsville MO, so started about 0326, S9+10 into nearby SDR with some storm crashes. Next: 1330 UT Sunday WMRI Europe via Ch 292 Germany 9670 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. 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. 15770, Sat Mar 19 at 1902, WRMI with English discussion about Ukraine, presumably R. Prague International as scheduled. However, refers to ``now`` being in sixth day of invasion, so recorded more than a biweek ago! Same also heard on only webcast from WRMI, which is of System B, ordinarily what is fed into 9955 SW, except this 19-20 hour of 15770. WORLD OF RADIO has just been added to the schedule Saturdays at 1930 on 15770, so I`m expecting it also to be webcast --- but it`s not, rather fill music. Meanwhile what about 9955? It does remain on air, with TOMBS before and after 1930 into Maryland SDR. What then at 2000? English gospel huxter on 15770, which would be Yeshua Prayer & Praise now from System H; TOMBS on 9955, and something in Arabic on webcast. System B grid shows this hour as internet only, and with blank spaces (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0431 UT March 20

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 19 at 1415 and 1504 chex, NO signals from LRA36 into four Brasil SDRs this Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [non]. 11900, March 19 at 1457, American gospel huxter who makes those gulping extra syllables after some words, soon outro as Christ Gospel Broadcast, Jeffersonville, Indiana over Amazing Grace theme, S8/9+10. 1459 closing as Bible Voice Broadcasting, address in Ontario to 1500*. Do they say transmitted from where? Of course not! Aoki shows Saturdays only from 1400 via Nauen, GERMANY, but for where? 250 kW, 102 degrees to CIRAF 41 says HFCC, i.e. Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh. Having destroyed RCI, Canada must be so proud to be represented by this on SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 13020, March 19 at 1358, S5-S6 with flutter music, only such signal circa 13 MHz. Tnx? to DST I am awake early enough to check CNR1 jammer frequencies before many of them quit at 1400. This and the next one are longstanding jammed Sound of Hope channels. 13530, March 19 at 1359 is *much* stronger S7-S9 with heavy flutter // 13020 CNR1 jammer song, Chinese announcement, 5+1 timesignal and off 1400*. 13830, March 19 at 1401, Chinese with rumble and flutter, S6-S8. After 1400 this is jammed VOA Tibetan via Thailand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 17745, March 19 at 1450, S9+10, 1455 mentions BBC, football, Ukraine, in SW Asian language? Close but it`s NE African, Somali via UAE site until 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: confirmed Saturday March 19 at 1700 UT on WRN webcast; as despite timeshift in NAm target, does not change to 1600 until irrelevant England & Europe go on DST March 27. New sked shows repeat Sat at 2030, while the simulEurope at 1700 repeats at 2100, etc. Next on SW, MW: 1930 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW: altho not 9955, sked shows this hour is on System B, so check if also webcast. Same semihour as VOA `Flashpoint Ukraine`, M-F only. 9955 does not show during that hour on any system, or self-contradictory, maybe TOMBS if on the air at all, or not?] 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7730 to WNW [but 7730 down until Tuesday?] 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0430] 1330 UT Sunday WMRI Europe via Ch 292 Germany 9670 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW 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.

** AUSTRALIA. 11945, March 18 at 1350, VG S9/+10 discussion about word games improving cognition, seems reasonable but winds up invoking Jesus. Of course it`s RBA with the Ozish accents, closing before 1400* ID and to resume at 1330 tomorrow for India -- way offbeam over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 6165, March 18 at 0611, RHC English is back here, but about equal level to Arabic! which is NHK via FRANCE at 0600-0630, adding up to S9+20. But RHC English in the clear on 6060, 6100. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN [non]. 5910, Friday March 18 at 1730 another check for the weekly Channel 1 TV audio clandestine from Canoga Park, believed via Uzbekistan: into UTwente, no signal promptly but carrier with hum on at *1730:28, S9/+10 and cut on modulation bit of music at 1732:07, soon YL talk in presumed Farsi; may have mentioned ``megahertz``? Like last week, not only starts late but ends late, running past 1800 until 1802 cut mod, 1802:15* cut carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [and non]. 7290, Friday March 18 at 1900:49, IRRS modulation starts on Bulgacarrier already on, rock music which must be Radio City as expected pre-empting other programming on 3rd Friday of month including WOR at 1915; occasional hyper DJ such as at 1910. Usual ACI from 7295 ChiCom. 1323 kHz, AM Italia, Villa Estense with same instead of WOR but heavy CCI from Romania`s ethnic German minority service also playing music at 1906 March 18; as heard by Noale SDR near AM Italia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 350 MCW kHz, March 18 at 0623 UT, cannot copy any ID from RG, 400 watt NDB at Will RoGers World Airport, OKC, just the carrier, unusual. This one has persisted while PN, EI and SW are AWOL, tho PN just came back, q.v. RG ID is there at 1817 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, March 18 at 0620 UT, 25-watt ND beacon PN at PoNca City is finally resuscitated! Had been silent since February 23. Also still on at 1811 check (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) See U S A ** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 18 at 1903, R. Svoboda probably via Armenia, but with quite a racket QRM - jamming or feed or transmission or local QRM to UTwente SDR or SDR own problem? I then check 9370 via Izhevsk, Russia SDR and find it clear! 1905 R. Svoboda ID and English blurt ``murderous dictator``. If it be deliberate jamming, by skip zone it`s bad in Holland but not at all in that part of Russia! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Friday March 18 at 2300, REE English succeeds today, VG, and almost as good on 11940, 12030 into Maryland SDR; even 11685 is sufficient with slight RTTY QRM. In A-22 from March 27, 17855 replaces 9690 with quite different propagation, 15520 ex-12030. 2309 today`s feature is about the ILO and COVID, seems a rerun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, March 18 at 2300, VOT English to us is absent today, no signal even unto UTwente, nor at 2324 check when nothing but EAST TURKISTAN, XJPBS Xinjiang in Chinese, land of ChiCom imperialist genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. 6125, however, next broadcast is poorly audible at 0440 March 19, hum and undermodulated thin-voiced YL, music, into Ohio SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 19 at 0508 tune-in, Ukrainian Radio hour via WRMI is in English with very rapid news summary until 0510 back to UU. Is it safe to assume there will not be another English segment later in hour? Need to catch it from 0500 opening whether English start immediately, VG S9+15 into Ohio SDR I still have running conveniently while at the computer completing this lengthy report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, March 18 at 0621, HRU, 25-watt ND beacon at Herington KS is finally copiable vs slightly diminished local neighborhood high noise level. For weeks could only detect the carrier of one of my closer day & night signals, altho the storm noise level is higher, maybe an inverse relationship? Also at 1813 JBA. Noise peaking circa 395 kHz altho slightly diminished, not enough to audiblize two other KS beacons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 18155.9 USB, March 18 at 1819, W1AW, the ARRL station in Newington CT operated by Nick making contacts, slightly off-frequency - or no such thing within hambands, but odd (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: since the UT Friday 0130 broadcast has been canceled by WRMI, first airing is now 0330 UT Friday on 5985, which just signs on at that bottom-of-the-hour time; in the run-up announced repeatedly as ``top-of-the-hour`` by the clueless BBB. Unfortunately aimed south, March 18 as usual VP here. Best signal should be grabbed in Colombia but no active Kiwis there now, let alone Bonaire. Boca Ratón FL is too far for groundwave, too close for skywave. Other Caribbean, S American sites are not getting listenable signal if any, nor even Maryland. Best results are directly off the back at a reasonable distance to Athens GA S8-S9 with fading but less noise than stronger Knoxville TN S9+10. They all need USB or AM-narrow to avoid Cuban jamming bleed from 5980. 9955, now with DST, WOR is to resume on WRMI at 1430 Friday --- but it`s off the air! Confirmed anyway on webcast. Still off at 1809 check, unknown when resumed but going circa 2300. Also confirmed UT Saturday March 19 at shifted time of 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+20 into Maryland SDR, but fading way down by 0157 check. Also confirmed UT Saturday March 19 from 0359.8 on R. Angela WBCQ 4790. This time I`ve settled on the WB8CXO remote in Ohio, S9/+10 and not too much whine except in fades, no CODAR, but sporadic uteblaaps.

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. (7490v), UT Sat Mar 19 at 0000, new hour-earlier time for `AAAWWW` on WBCQ webcast, SW not even checked. Not a repeat. Mostly monolog by Allan: first arguing with Angela over whether her mike be on. Temp today was 90F, now just heard some thunder with lightning [yes, Blitzortung shows storm line right over FL]. ``Radio strikes back`` against the ills of the age. Some dickhead has been jamming 7490 during Hal Turner, says has had jamming before, which is close to being treason, punishable by death. We are now in Cold War 2.0. SW stations are becoming more important. Could Classic BCQ broadcast to Russia, Ukraine? Not really with antennas for N America. SuperStition could do it but not sure whether WLC is going to. Needs to upgrade other transmitters to 100 kW, and has started a gofundme. Still charges same rates as when signed on in 1998 since most programmers could not afford the real cost. Will add more programs before/after the Radio Angela 2-hour block on 4790. See website for schedule of that [NO, it is still not on there, as I check: http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=4790 which still shows nothing but Dead Brother Scare!] Bill Tilford also tells him that, so Allan calls for Larry Will, webmaster, to get with it. Apparently Allan doesn`t inspect his own website very often. Allan says he is ``always upfront, doesn`t hold anything back``, e.g. from the winter cold in Maine he ``almost died`` which is why they operate remotely from Deland of Fla, depending on their great staff back in Maine. A&A hold a daily lunch-hour Soviet on the porch to discuss station and marital issues, recommended. `BCQ should be around for years; it`s totally owned by A&A, debt- and mortgage-free. Their cellphones are on 24/7 like the broadcast business in case there is an emergency. 0043 finally datestamp as 18th of March YOOLF 2022, from Studio 9 where it`s 78 degrees, humidity 70% and rising, and 0044 introduces `Angela`s Angle`, for her own commentary/rant -- but she is not prepared to render it. They had a great St Patrick`s party last night at a neighbor`s, best corned beef he had ever had, breaking his mostly vegetarian diet. Fishing around for reading glasses which both of them need; to refer to a Radio World article by Rick Wagner about a Denon TU68? radio from the 90s which had CQUAM AM stereo; and how great AM sound can be if bandwidth allowed up to 9 kHz rather than 3. That might give AM radio a new lease on life. At BCQ they push the AM bandwidth on SW as far as they can with the 5 kHz limit. 0054 to email. Goal is to raise $ 10 million in order to buy and preserve operational some other SW facilities [not including WHRI, I assume]. Ultimately maybe an endowment, privately owned, NOT governmental. Guess what: someone else tells him the donate button on website does not work either, nor does it yet show gofundme. Larry? 0059 prayer; running late again, joining Hal Turner when he has already started at 0101 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, March 18 at 1902, quick check of WRMI via UTwente: poor but in English, presumably still back with R. Prague after Wednesday-only test of RFPI in Russian. But that`s now on the RFPI skedgrid as Wed only rather than daily at 1900-1930 on 15770 within the otherwise mostly-9955, blue-green System B sked! RFPI already has several 1-hour blox, presumably French, but the only 15 minute one, UT Fri 0145-0200 blowing away the first airing of WOR, is now suffixed UA - meaning UkrAine? Altho we thought it was in Rusky Yazik (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. On that `CBS4` Miami interview about WRMI, Jeff White said they have fourteen 100-kW transmitters. However, WRTH 2022 shows 12 x 100 kW, and 1 x 50 kW. There are never 14 transmitters on the air at once per the skedgrid; but all are running for at least a few hours. In past one or two have been totally `standby`. The most active hours are 00-02 with twelve frequencies running; all other hours have eleven or less. Another oddity at Okeechobee: 9395 & 9455 are allegedly both 100 kW and same azimuth 355. But comparing them on remotes such as Maryland at 0130 March 18, 9395 is *much* stronger, S9+20 while 9455 is JBA S6-S7 and barely makes a trace on the waterfall (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, March 18 at 0614, WTWW-2 is S9+20/30 of dead air, or a trace of modulation, and some hum; and the JBA parasitic spur carriers circa 5072 & 5098. Ted offdozed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, March 18 at 0617, S9+30 of dead air from WWCR, competing for the Tennessee DA Sweepstakes with 5085 WTWW. But the other three WWCRs are nominally modulating, 3215, 5890, 5935. No one paying attention at 1300 WWCR Ave, yay! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 333 MCW kHz, March 18 at 0624 UT, JBA beacon, second letter V, and the first seems like 6. At DXinfocentre no fits and nothing at all on 334, but could really be 335 as I am tuning USB: BV in Batesville AR would be a close fit, 25 watts heard before; also CV, Clovis NM, 25W (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0518 UT March 19
