Hauser
** ALASKA. 6780-6825 approx., March 26 at 0709, huge wideband buzz at
S9+10, the sound/pitch of it constantly varying. Must be HAARP testing
per new publicized schedule centered on 6.8 MHz. Still going past 0721
when I quit. Apparently not on website, but UAF had sent a physical
letter to an amateur mailing list about this, even tho hams cannot QSO
it, so why not to the one-way SWL community? As jpg it`s uncopiable
into text, but appears in the WOR iog tnx to Don Moman, Sheldon
Harvey, Ken Zichi.

For this date, the subject to change schedule was 0707-0717 in an ``HF
Ocean Scatter Window experiment``. These 10-minute windows are at a
wide variety of times thru April 2, from as early as 0626 to as late
as 0858, sometimes twice per night. Could also be transmitting during
Launch Support Window at 0500-0700 24 March thru 2 April; and
1230-1430 3-7 April. Only frequency given is 6.8 MHz, and QSL cards
offered for reports to: HAARP, P O Box 271, Gakona AK 99586.

For those unfamiliar, HAARP stands for High-frequency Active Auroral
Research Program. It has been subject of wild conspiracy theories
about its true purpose. More about HAARP in general:
https://haarp.gi.alaska.edu/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALBANIA [non]. See USA: WRMI 7780

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat March 26 at 1438 tune-in, LRA36 is
on the air, only S1-S3 into Brasília #1 KiwiSDR, only a trace into
Pardinho, and Campo is offline. 1442 ID, usual programming, historical
talk segments, frequent IDs alternating with songs. 1450 weather
conditions: Celsius high of 0 degrees; contact info; 1451 ID with
15476, 96.7 frequencies. 1455 RNASG ID; 1505 ID, song; 1509 ID; 1510
Antártida themesong as if closing? NO, 1513.7 starts over, ``a partir
de este momento``, multilingual ID/greetings including English. But
cuts off air at 1516.5*. Rather sloppy operation. We owe tnx to the
proprietor of two Brasília KiwiSDRs, both with T2FD antennas,
Fernando Castellani, PT2FHC for audiblizing this beyond.

BTW, I missed checking for LRA36 on March 23, as usually active also
on Wednesdays but have seen no report of it then. Manuel Méndez was
also hearing it earlier today; his full report to the WOR iog:

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain --- LRA 36 still repeating the 2021
programs "El Lejano Sur". No news about the four woman 2022 team yet.
Log via SDR Kiwi remote receiver in Montevideo, Uruguay. No signal
here in Reinante, NW of Spain at the moment.

ANTARCTICA, 15476usb, LRA36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel, Base
Esperanza, *1353-1425, 26-03 open with song, comments by female, Base
Esperanza song, "Programa nº 13 de El Lejano Sur", "Presentando el
programa quien les habla la Teniente Primero Estafanía Pérez", "Les
recordamos que estamos transmitiendo desde Base Esperanza, Sargento
Cabral de la Antártida Argentina...", "Programa dedicado a celebrar el
día de la Antártida Argentina". "El Lejano Sur, todos los miércoloes
de 11 a 13 por LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel". Weak to
fair signal`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BELIZE. 7066 LSB, March 26 at 0707, V31XX calling CQ contest. 40m
is crammed full of phone stations due to some contest. I`ve heard this
one before on another band. QRZ.com: ``V31XX Belize flag Belize, QSL
MANAGER: K4XS DIRECT ONLY WITH SASE/GREEN STAMPS, Bill Kollenbaum,
Consejo Shores, Corozal District, Belize`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6000, March 26 at 0622, RHC English is still on
here: had been off by 0600, S9+20. also 6060 S9+10 with a LAH; 6100
S9+30; and 6165 S9+20 with CCI from Japan in Arabic via France. But
that`s about to be canceled per A-22 HFCC as of March 25. No Cuba
listing there of course from recalcitrant RHC, but we see these
oollisions: 03-04 Turkey English to ME; 0430-0451 Japan in Russian via
Germany, not France and presumably defaulting to English on weekends
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 7158 LSB, March 26 at 0710, ED1R calling CQ Contest. The 40m
band is crammed with phone stations tnx to some contest. QRZ.com:
``ED1R Spain flag Spain, Papa3 Contest Club, SPANISH CONTEST STATION,
AVILA, Spain. => ( SSB – CW – RTTY ), ITU 37 - CQ 14 - Loc IN70ou -
AVILA (Spain). INFO: We Started in 2010, our station is located in
central EA in rural and cultivated area, is near to Madrid (90 km
aprox) and 380 km to atlantic coast (CT). Generally active in major
International HF Contests also sometimes V-UHF. Station optimized as
MS or M2 category. Now Follow us: TWITTER - FACEBOOK - YOUTUBE. We
are very active on Facebook, you can see all pictures from each

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2131 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday March 26 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/+20 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Saturday March 26 at 0400 on R Angela via WBCQ,
4790, S7/S5 into Maryland SDR, for once without the widespread
east-coast whine QRM, no CODAR either, but still with occasional
uteblaaps. Same for FTIOM before 0400, and earlier measured as only
+2 Hz off-frequency, unlike all the other Classic WBCQs. Next:

1930 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE [may be pre-empted for Flashpoint

** U S A. 7780, Sat Mar 26 at 0619, as I tune in, immediate ID for
Radio Tirana, Albania, S9+10, what? A new time for this. As of today,
WRMI skedgrid at the top shows 7780 off the air after Ukraine relay
until 0600. However, contradictorily, the System H program grid shows
Tirana now on 7780 daily except Wednesdays 0600-0630. However2, 7780
is now much stronger than 7730 which is only S6/S8 with TOMBS and //
5850, 5890, etc., etc.

Thus I conclude that the supposed exchange as of March 27 has already
happened. 7780 had been on NE antenna, 7730 on NW antenna thisaway.
Now it`s 7780 to NW and 7730 to NE. Entire program sked of each
however, has not yet been swapped, how confusing. The program skeds
are still dated effective more than a year ago, March 14, 2021! As for
the Shortwaves for Freedom - sponsored shows, their A-22 update shows
nothing additional, but 7730 instead of 7780 for the R. Svobodas at
02-03 & 04-05 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28465 USB, March 25 at 2158, PY2HT calling QRZ, speaking
Portuguese to a W5, CQDX. QRZ.com: PY2HT Brazil flag Brazil, Carlos
Alberto Brandino, av. prefeito newton reis, 2692, Jardinópolis, SP,
14680000, Brazil.

Not much on 10 m, but another T-E Brazilian is making it on 28440 USB,
PY4HM with a KN6- station. QRZ.com: PY4HM Brazil flag Brazil,
HUGO MOTA, Rua Heitor Modesto, 453 - Estação - Sao Lourenco [sic,
sloppy lack of accents], MG, 37470000, Brazil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, March 25 at 0636 UT, dash and YXL, 500-watt ND
beacon in Sioux Lookout, Ontario - nice to at least detect this one in
noisy seasonal conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530, 13130, 13020, March 25 at 1437, JBA signals to JBA
carriers from CNR1 jammers on long-established SOH channels (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also TURKEY [and non]

** CUBA. 6165, March 25 at 0632, RHC English is S9/+20 but
undermodulated; 6100 is S9+30 of DEAD AIR; 6060 S9+10 with hum vs
program modulation. 5040 still on in Spanish, S9+20/30: this seems to
be the norm now, even after an 05-06 hour of English. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA: WBCQ

** CUBA [non]. 7355, March 25 at 2217, R. Martí here is running about
7 seconds behind 7375 // 9565, why? Surely all three are Grimesland B
site NC. Believe no others active during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.759, March 25 at 2147, R. Cairo is S9+25/35 into
UTwente, almost dead air but just barely modulated. At 2155 direct,
9899.7+, JBM at S7/S9+5 during alleged English sesquihour. Something`s
always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 25 1936, R. Svoboda relay in Russian, via
Armenia? good into UTwente but het from weak carrier on 9372, jamming?
Nonesuch at 1956 into Izhevsk, Russia SDR, VG S9+15 and no het (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, March 25 at 2304, VOT is VG S9+35 but with
some hum into UTwente; 2310 `Review of the Turkish Press`. I can tell
that the announcer in English now pronounces the country `Türkiye` as
now required; however, the words ``Turkish`` and ``Turkey`s`` still
sound more like English, whew. 2312 multi-lingual ID reel which fills
a little less than two minutes. 2314 song. 2318 `Weekly Analysis` by
some professor, about NATO having to decide whether to be defensive or
offensive. 2322, COVID PSA, yes, still asserting, ``a vaccine is yet
to be found``!, song; 2328 `Feeling Supreme` repeat about cures for
insomnia starting with rosemary and cherry pie.

At 0014 March 26, I find 5960 is still on! in spurious German hour,
S9+30/40 into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. I
leave it on underneath AAAWWW. 0044 `Feeling Supreme` theme; 0053
completes full German hour and into IS, but off by 0058, uncovering
EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist Han ChiCom genocide against
Uighurs and other Moslems; 0100 timesignal arriving 2 seconds late,
enthusiastic vocal NA and apparently some crowd event (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 329 MCW kHz, March 25 at 0648, PMV, 25-watt ND beacon at
Plattsmouth, Nebraska, among very few detectable now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2131 monitoring: confirmed on
restored first airings after missing last week, UT Friday March 25 at
0130 on WRMIs, 7780 S9+10/20 into UTwente, and 5850, S9+30/35 into
Missouri SDR. Note from next week 7730 ex-7780, still aimed NE.

Not confirmed UT Fri Mar 25 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, instead WOR 2130
from last week --- my fault, as I didn`t get 2131 uploaded to System D
server in time! All the repeats tho are ready with 2131. Anyhow, 5985
aimed 222 for C America, does put a good S9+5/15 signal into Bonaire
SDR, checked at 0340; unlike to N America here off the side. I had
tuned in direct at 0327, to hear it cut on at *0328 with `top of the
hour` BBB ID and IS loop, reading S8/S9 but noisy.

This WRMI-2 transmitter on 5985 is the least-used of all, only
0330-0430 except UT Sun & Mon an additional sesquihour = total 10
hours per week. And at 0400-0430 has been R. Japón in Spanish, which
is about to be canceled, so it may not pay to turn it on at all? The
0330-0400 strip includes three DX programs, otherwise gospel huxters.

WOR 2131 also confirmed Friday March 25 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S9+10
direct on the air unlike last week.

Also confirmed Friday March 25 from 1915.5 UT on IRRS SW, 7290, VG
S9+25/35 into UTwente but ACI splash from 7295 ChiCom requiring LSB or
narrow AM tuning.

Also audible on second harmonic! Synch displayed as 14579.995.09 very
steady last digit varying only to 10. I had tuned in both earlier from
1907 with UN News, 1909 fill music. How about 3 x harmonic on 21870?
No, but the night MUF from Bulgaria is holding up better than it has
been. 14580 is S7 at first, some RTTY QRM on plus side, but quite
readable. Much weaker S5 at 1919, but gone by 1933.

Also confirmed // on AM Italia, 1323 kHz, Villa Estense, into nearby
Noale SDR. 1906 at first some CCI from Romania, but during WOR from
1915.5 Fri Mar 25, mostly clear including during my Ukraine clip at
1937. From next week due to DST in Europe, WOR at 1815 Fridays.

Also confirmed Fri Mar 25 at 2145 check the 2130 repeat on 1323, good
S9+5 with no QRM but some noise. From next week: at 2030 UT. Next:

Also confirmed UT Saturday March 26 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+20 into
Maryland SDR. Next:

0400 UT Saturday WBCQ 4790 to WSW
1930 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE [may be pre-empted]
1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM

** U S A. (7490.1v), et al., March 25 at 2359 via Maryland SDR, I`m
checking all three WBCQ frequencies with offsets: 6160 - 56 Hz =
6159.944 at S8/S9+5, in fact with ACI from 6165 Cuba already on; 7490
+ 70 Hz = 7490.070 at S9+5/15; 4790 +2 Hz = 4790.002 at S5/S7; nothing
on 3265. Then I just listen on webcast:

UT Saturday March 26 from 0000, `AAAWWW`, not a repeat, but many of
the same `free speech`, pro-Trump points over and over. It`s a
turbulent world. New Cold War? This would not be happening ``if the
president were in the White House`` instead of ``a clown, an idiot,
temporarily in power``. SW, especially WBCQ. more important than ever.
SW is ``fancy AM``.

Major news now is that A&A have already purchased two used 100 kW SW
transmitters; as fund-raising continues. But shipping these heavy
items is expensive --- ``a fortune``. He never says where they are
coming from, why not?? Now in process to upgrade Classic WBCQ this
summer. Wants to get a total of four additional transmitters. WBCQ is
in fortunate position, totally O&O by A&A, no debt; remote Maine
location with no NIMBY problems, WBCQ beloved by the neighbors.

0038 datestamp as 25 of March YOOLF 2022, 64 degrees in Studio 9. Vs
coming storm urges everyone to upgrade SW antennas, such as the FPW.
Verticals are better at minimizing powerline noise but need to be
grounded. 0044 reading from new issue of FRW including YHWH item but
he`s not sure which number is the time and which the frequency.

0050 picks some of his favorite shows from the 7490 program sked which
Jason has sent. 0052 email. 0058 prayer. Almost 0101 JIP Hal Turner
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Fri March 25 at 1935, WRMI relay of `Flashpoint
Ukraine` of VOA; 1959 conclusion says there will be a special edition
tomorrow Saturday due to Pres. Biden speech in Europe. So that might
blow away the WOR 1930 time on 15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Enough!! Lunging for the remote to mute the TV, at least
once every hour for a couple weeks on CNN and MSNBC and probably many
other channels. A car ad which starts with a kids` orchestra playing
horribly out-of-tune ``Also Sprach Zaratustra``. I will not identify
the car but swear never to buy one, if for no other reason. The first
time we heard this, it was really fun: that was on WCLV`s `Weekend
Radio` where you expect comedy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9278.2 USB, March 25 at 2210, 2-way in Spanish, not
exactly intruders yet between WINB and WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, March 24 at 0134, JBA S5/S6 into Bonaire SDR, R.
Progreso? Yet 5040, RHC at 0136 is S9+5/15 of dead air. Maybe 4765 was
Tajikistan, Cuba off, as no 4765 signal at 0137 recheck. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 11735, March 24 at 0653, too-sweet music
from VOK, shortly French ID and schedule, S7/S9. Music at first
sounded similar on 11680, another DPRK channel, which should be on the
air now with domestic service 22 hpd; but differs later, surely Zambia
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15605, March 24 at 1507, S8/S9+10 of talk in unknown
language, slight RTTY QRM on minus side. It`s AWR via Talata in `Lus`
language per Aoki, nomenclature confusion discussed earlier. Not in
WRTH 2022 in any language under AWR Africa, where else? UK on page
502. O, that`s because as in EiBi, `MZ` is a S Asian language, so in
WRTH it`s Mizo, page 499 under, where else? Thailand (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 4775 minus 36 Hz = 4774.964, March 24 at 0132,
S6/S8 of music into Bonaire SDR, R. Tarma. Normally it`s about 40 Hz
on plus side.

Since this SDR is back online I`m bandscanning 60m. Did not check
calibration, but still running at 1558 when the only WWV JBA is 20000,
SAM showing carrier offset within plus/minus 1 Hz, which must be
instability of receiver, not WWV, but close to accurate.

Nothing else of note on 60m circa 0136: 4765 Cuba? is JBA only S5-S6.
Nothing from USA beyond 4980 & 5010 WRMIs. 4940 Fuerza de Paz is VG;
4885 Brasils, and nothing more exotic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA. 9996 CW, March 24 at 0641, secondly timepips, prolonged
marker at top of each minute. Obviously RWM Taldom on signature
channel, agreeing closely with WWV/H, sorry (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. My recording via a remote of Ukrainian Radio relay
via WRMI 7780, March 23 at 0503-0510 UT, English segment with some
Ukrainian before and after; the start of which is on WOR 2131:
https://www.w4uvh.net/Ukraine_English_2022_0323_0503_WRMI_7780.mp3
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday March
24 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395, S9+15 into Maryland SDR while 9455 is JBA
S7 in noise level. But at Missouri SDR, 9395 is S9+30, and 9455 is
almost as good, S9+20. How to explain disparity of supposedly
identical parameters, 100 kWs at 355 degrees? Maybe radically
different antennas with tighter beam on the lower one.

Also confirmed UT Thursday March 24 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+5/20 into
TWR Bonaire SDR. Yes, this mostly missing Kiwi is back online at the
moment! It defaults to 800 kHz, so TWR people can listen to their own
PJB station, but when running on SW it`s better than anything else in
the Caribbean area.

A few minutes too late to confirm, I spot an additional WOR airing now
on the WRMI skedgrid: UT Thursday at 0130 on 9395.

** U S A. 7730, March 24 at 0053, still no reactivation of this WRMI
frequency which was supposed to occur some 25 hours ago; nor for a few
hours more monitoring nothing here. No explanation on the disgraced FB
of WRMI, the go-to place for latest station news, if any. Later: Jeff
told me it would really be back by UT March 25, and so it is but 7730
seems weaker than it should be at 0050 check. We are getting close to
the Grand Swap of all 7730 & 7780 programming for A-22, effective
March 27 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, March 24 at 0632, WLCR via WBCQ SuperStition inbooming
as some wacko is asserting that Man has never gone into space, let
alone landed on the Moon: it was all staged for unknown reasons by the
powers that were. What a pity that WBCQ has tied itself to this
nonsense; surely as a Man of Science, Allan Weiner knows better but
won`t contradict, disparage, or condemn his major client. Free speech!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, March 24 at 0640, KVOH is still on, song with guitar,
S9+20/30. Sked revised March 16
http://voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf
shows SW sign-off at 0600* after `Song in the Night`. BTW, AWR
Wavescan is now 0200 UT Sunday and Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9777.70 USB, March 24 at 0638, weak 2-way in Spanish

** 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

** 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)
