 ** 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.

(12160), March 19 at 1700-1729 UT Sat, WWCR-2 webcast of `Talking Machine Show` as time-shifted an hour earlier. Mostly singing as always but at 1708 axual talk, ancient recording of an auxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1827 UT March 19

 ** 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. Next: 1930 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW] 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. 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

 ** CUBA. 9535, March 17 at 0458, aha, RHC S9:5 into Maryland SDR, opening ``second hour`` in English after Spanish --- but chopped off the air at 0500* as a mistake. Something`s always wrong at RHC. I switch to 6000 where English continues, and 6165 but unusually weak S7/S8 with ACI from WBCQ. 9700 is Turkey and 6145 Romania.
Further chex March 17: at 0637, English on 6165, now S9+40 with hum during Mailbag; 6100 also English and hum S9+20; 6060 English at S9+20/30. 6000 is off and 5040 in Spanish. And a JBA carrier on 6140 which is probably leapfrog of 6060 over 6100; no other ones heard on 6270 or 6230. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 11880 after 2300 March 17, RHC again in English, maybe to stay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE [non]. 15770, March 17 at 1910, WRMI has resumed R. Prague in English after yesterday`s test of RFPI in Russian; however, without notice, what had been the first broadcast of WORLD OF RADIO at 0130-0200 UT Friday has been replaced March 18 by `Viva Miami` - and RFPI! on the Systen F schedule, 5850 and 7780. This VM? segment consisted of the CBS4 Miami report about WRMI and Shortwave for Freedom; A. Schwarzenegger`s comments on the war, and the Ukrainian NA; 0145 RFPI multilingual opening and their Russian program --- in the middle of the night over there! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6920-, AM, March 17 at 0643, JBA music with heavy beat and announcement, presumed the usual R. Pushka (rifle) Russian ethnic pirate on its expansive schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 6145, March 17 at 0502, Romanian, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, RRI hour for W Europe from Galbeni, but certainly not available for RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 17 at 0503 tune-in until 0506, WRMI new relay of Ukrainian Radio in English segment, rapid translation and back to Ukrainian. Wish they would put English at a reliable time and length; another day there was no English in this span (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15120, March 17 at 1619, Spanish on the ATS-909 portable, tnx to tip of Kenneth Vito Zichi of R. Martí on new frequency at 1530; but gone by my 1644 recheck of St Lucia SDR. My explanation: likely test or mistake at Grimesland, scheduled on 15120 only at 2130-2200 M-F for VOA Bambara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2129 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday March 17 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+15/25 into Boa Vista SDR but VP considering noise level. WORLD OF RADIO 2130 contents: Angola, Antarctica, Armenia, Australia, Austria, China, Cuba, France and non, (Germany), Japan/Korea South, Kurdistan non, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mali, México, Mongolia and non, Netherlands, New Zealand, North America, (Pridnestovye), Russia and non, Solomon Islands, Spain, (Turkey), Ukraine and non, UKOGBANI, USA, Vanuatu; propagation outlook ()countries mentioned not in order WOR 2130 is available as of 0053 UT Friday March 18, 2022 (mp3 stream) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2130.m3u (mp3 download) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2130.mp3 Or via http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html Also linx to podcast services.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 16 at 1508, LRA36 is active this Wednesday, music, only S2/S3 into Brasília #1 SDR, no signal into Campo. 1510 ``Nacional, la radio pública`` ID; 1519 Antártida themesong, gone off by 1523 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHILE. 28455 USB, March 16 at 2215, CE7VP, Javier is the only signal on 10m -- good thing I bandscanned anyway, and no CW beacons either. Says he is beyond Puerto Montt in southern Chile; island sounds like pronounced ``Quiloé``, contact with WB7JB in Washington state, even further than I, who am 9176 km = 5702 stmi; S4/S5, enough to combat my local hi noise level. QRZ.com: CE7VP Chile flag Chile Javier "Javi" Capdebilla Alvarado, P.O. Box : 42, Quellon, Chiloe Island, 5790000, Chile ``Saludos del Sur del Mundo --- Regards of the south of the world. Chiloe Is. (SA-018) *Chilean Patagonia*``, some nice photos at https://www.qrz.com/lookup/ce7vp Then I scanned 12 m, nothing; 15m one unID phone; 17m a couple phone signals, one Japanese sounding (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, March 16 at 1434, open carrier/dead air in Spanish except for a squeal from RHC, S9+10/20 much stronger than 15230 which does manage to modulate S8/S9. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, March 16 at 2226, RHC in French, S9+35 with hum, so apparently on DST-adjusted schedule of 2200 French, 2230 Portuguese?, 2300 English. 11850, March 16 at 2227, RHC S9+20 but JBM, suptorted Spanish and parasitic spur on 11840s. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE [non]. 15770, Wed Mar 16 at 1900, Radio for Peace International test in Russian as pre-publicized, via WRMI. If successful, will be prolonged. Opens with multi-lingual ID, news in Russian, occasional English IDs. VG into Maryland SDR but did not check in Europe, more concerned with 9370 R. Svoboda, but see later reports about that. That left a 15-minute gap before VOA news and `Flashpoint Ukraine` on 15770 at 1930, so I wondered what would fill at 1915? Old favorites from the World Music reel which Richard Langley and Bruce Churchill identified as including: ``First piece was "Amores Imortais" by Brazilian singer Eduardo Costa.`` Then more ``international music (Chariots of Fire, Verdum En Dibe Kadar (Turkish), Da Fing Der Sommer Noch Einmal An” (German) and a short interlude “Vraho Vraho” (Greek)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INDIA. 15030, March 16 at 1434, JBA with Doppler flutter, i.e. AIR Dari at 1330-1500 via Bengaluru - no more sesquihour in English! a worthless language per AIR. BTW, is INTRUDER like any other broadcaster within the 15.0-15.1 MHz off-route aeronautical band, i.e. military; despite longstanding invasions pioneered by BBC on 15070 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 16 at 1900 I`m checking various remotes to get a feel for reception on second day of R. Svoboda in Russian tnx to the crowdfunding initiative via secret site. It`s audible at TWR Bengaluru, India which certainly implies a ``central`` Asia site, only poor but at S9/+10. Armenia would fit and be most convenient after a known relay on MW 1395 the previous hour; really southwest Asia. Of the Eurussian SDRs, best into Izhevsk, which is way east of Moskva, VG S9+10 at 1906. At 1907 a beep and some jamming/OTH radar starts continually covering +9200-9550 or so, but still audible. Occasionally also beep and louder sweep tones intermittently. At 1920 I find Bryansk ``CrazySDR`` is getting a sufficient S5/S6 signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, March 16 at 2300 it`s Wednesday so REE in English, feature to be about some American singer/songwriter, so over to TURKEY instead, but first checking all four frequencies into Maryland SDR: VG here and also 11940, 12030, while 11685 is noticeably weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SRI LANKA. 15704.874, March 16 at 1437, JBA carrier way off-frequency, i.e. AWR in Chinese via Trincomalee. Also with Doppler flutter as befits such a transpolar signal. ChiCom probably do not bother to jam as harmless? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TIBET [non]. 17585, March 16 at 1431, JBA carrier with Doppler flutter, presumably ChiCom jammer against VOA Tibetan via Biblis, Germany, scheduled this hour only. Seemed OSOB until I came upon another JBA carrier on 17885, which would be VOA English via Botswana, this hour only. Nothing on Ascension or Mali frequencies: but per Aoki the only one to be on at this moment would be CRI Mali on 17630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, March 16 at 2309, VOT English VG today into UTwente with just a hint of squeal, already into first feature, `Feeling Supreme`, on natural ways to keep memory sharp, by nutrition (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, March 16 at 0500-0517+, Ukrainian Radio via WRMI; some online casts have included segments in English, originally after 0100 UT, but only Ukrainian language heard now. This is addition to original 12-13 UT relay on 5010 - not part of Shortwave for Freedom crowdfunding as WRMI relayed UR before that was formed. I`ve yet to confirm/listen to that, too early (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2129 monitoring: ``A short list, due to stormy conditions, 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 #2129, confirmed, below with Details: 9395, splashing sound, QRN, 0231, 0244, 0258 (45343), 0259, March 12 [Sat] 7730, hear nothing, 0059, March 13 [Sun] 9395, QRN, 0030, 0045, 0059 (45433), 0159 [sic], March 15 [Tue] 9955, 2230, just heard jingle, 2258, March 15 [Tue] 5850, hearing World of Radio #2129, and confirming it, 1029, 1044 (55433), 1030, March 16 [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Confirmed Wednesday March 16 at 1035 the 1030 on WRMI 5850, VG direct as I happen to awaken briefly. Also confirmed Wed Mar 16 at 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490v, good S8/S9+5 into Maryland SDR, unchecked direct to OK but no doubt inferior. Also confirmed UT Thu Mar 17 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, VG S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, and much weaker 9455 S8/S9 even tho the pair are allegedly exactly same parameters, 355 degree antennas. Next: 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. Thanks this week to James Gershman, Warwick RI, for a contribution via PayPal in US$ but not necessarily, 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. Next WOR 2130 should be ready early UT Fri March 18 for first broadcasts at 0130 on WRMIs 5850, 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9475, March 16 at 1445, WTWW-1 surprisingly active on a non-Sunday Wednesday, S9+20/30 with SFAW, so should 5085 WTWW-2 also be running? No (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** YEMEN [non]. 11860, March 16 at 2227, surprised to hear some ME music here, no Martí and even less jamming. Also overcoming the JBA parasitic spur of RHC 11850 matching the one in the clear on 11840. Aoki & EiBi show Martí off at 2230; Aoki has Republic of Yemen Radio in a 2-hour break 2200-2400; but EiBi and WRTH show this target broadcast as 24 hours, presumed via SA`UDI ARABIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0048 UT March 17
