** CUBA. 11840, June 12 at 2206, once again like yesterday, RHC is
here ex-11850, ex-11840, ex-11850, etc., and it`s suptorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW, 11840 was also Station YHWH`s
frequency choice for midday Saturday broadcast until 1830+ as caught
by Rick Barton, AZ; before Cuba would be on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, June 13 at 0037, rock/soul music S9+10,
suspect Wolverine Radio, and yes, quick IDs between tunes at 0111.5
and 0123.6. This week`s theme is songs with ``Me`` in the title, per
monitored playlists at:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,82761.0.html
Still going past 0200 when it`s time for `Weekend Radio` on WCLV
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.930-AM, June 13 at 0103, weak pirate music, via
W8BUG remote, S5 vs S7 storm crashes; with SAM reading -70 Hz offset
from 6975.00; presumed Nowhere Radio as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 94.3, June 12 at 2055 UT, still June 13 at 0122, KLGB-LP
Enid is dead air in $ tereo but with static KLGB____ ID on RDS. I
suppose it will be dead the entire weekend like it was May 29-30. If
only they would also turn off carrier since tho LP it`s so close that
DXing any adjacent 94.1 & 94.5 is tough, no chance on 94.3 itself
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2090 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
June 12 from 1800:40 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, via UTwente SDR, VG
S9+15/25, and also trace on X 2 = 14580. Strange that both have
same-pitch warble on their USB, evitable by LSB tuning. Does that mean
it`s really also coming out of the 7290 transmitter rather than
external QRM?

Also via Italia-AM, 918 kHz, Villa Estense, via nearby Noale SDR,
running about 7 seconds ahead of 7290/UTw. Earlier: At 1754, 7290 had
open carrier over Chinese showing 7289.999; *1757 cut on much bigger
carrier as above. On 918, talk show in English interrupted to JIP Aïda
theme at 1758.7, but on 7290, dead air to Aïda does not start until
1759.8; brief IRRS sign-on, several seconds pause before WOR start.

Also confirmed from 1939 Sat June 12 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO via nearby
KB0FX SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sun June 13 at 0321 about 5 minutes into so started
about 0316 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, again via KB0FM remote. Next:

** U S A. 9939.949, UT Sun June 13 at 0018, WTWW is active again on
this off-frequency only, with #2 programming while 5085 is off instead
of // as reported previously. During `Amateur Radio Newsline`, item
about a Bigfoot net in Oklahoma, Wednesdays at 20h CT on 7115. (A SE
county is promoting Bigfoot-hunts as a tourist attraxion.) After ARNL
I am expecting `TOUTA` but instead hard-sell ads, 0025 canned WTWW ID
disrespectfully with Our National Anthem clip as produxion music.
Unlike 5085, I can`t detect any JBA spurs about plus/minus 12.9 kHz,
which is fortunate since they would het 9925 KBC and 9955 WRMI! So
maybe this is the otherwise idle #3 transmitter? Nor during music does
it sound distorted as 5085. 0027 classic rock, 0030 Atlas weather,
still no TOUTA, so I check pirate band.

0042 recheck, now `Theater Organ Under the Arch` has just started
late. Original S9+10/20 signal now going into some deep fades which
would not be happening on 5 MHz band. I`ve switched to the $ tereo
non-fading webcast. At 0058 plays `Knightsbridge March` from London
Suite by Eric Coates, probably unaware it was the theme of HCJB`s `DX
Partyline`; but quite a different arrangement. Here is a traditional
orchestral performance, perhaps the very one HCJB used:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_YNW0dLy_I
TOUTA is usually a ~31-minute program, but chopped off at 0102 after
only 20+ minutes! No compensation for the late start; tnx a lot, Ted.
Cut to bible verse, ID, and then the all-important rock DJ with
`International Happy Hour` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Saturday June 12 from tune-in at 1457,
LRA36 is back on after absence last Sat and Wed. S5-S7 via Pardinho,
Brasil, SDR but quite good with low noise level. Historical talk about
Antarctic bases; 1500 ID and music; 1511 ``Nacional Antártida
Argentina, en todo el país, la radio pública`` canned ID, repeated at
1515 and 1519 amid musix. 1523 contact info starting with whatsapp,
telephone, algo, facebook, e-mail. 1526 historical info, current
weather including máximo of -4. 1527 acknowledges listener Manuel
Méndez in España (who frequently reports it direct but with very poor
strength). 1528 despedida with Antarctica song; mentions Base
Marambio. I would really like to see the full lyrix of this song and
its name. Does anybody have them? But not off the air yet. 1532.5 on
to string of other songs; no further announcements, but 1555 Antártida
themesong again and off 1556* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11840, June 12 at 0228, S9+10 of almost OC, suptorted trace
of mod I suspect be RHC, then match it to 11670 Spanish as the 11840
level improves slightly, mentioning Filatelia show, now or promo? So
the 11850 transmitter has moved back to 11840 again; and now the
plus/minus 10 kHz parasites are JBA carriers on 11830 & 11850 instead
of 11840 & 11860. Is it now centred on 11840 for entire tarde span?
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, June 12 at 0243, the two RHC English
frequencies are in French! I think; obviously a movie drama or TV
soundtrack. Only occasional mumbled dialog, hard to understand, mostly
fumbling and other sounds/effects, as the invisible video is mostly
carrying the story.

But what is this doing here?!? Same kind of thing caught once before,
on a 9 MHz band RHC frequency. Guess maybe they`ve plugged into wrong
satellite downlink, tho I`d think terrestrial STLs would be sufficient
near Habana. These are of course not // RHC real Spanish on 11670, nor
// 5040. There are long stretches with no dialogue; ``back-up beeps``
a couple times, traffic horns. 0258 bit of French dialogue, more SFX,
thru 0300 with no break; 0316 recheck still French dialogue.

6165 & 6000 not rechecked until 0543, when they are still far astray
from RHC English which is on 6060 // 6100. Now it`s drama in British
English, 0545 off-key singing, SFX, seems like soundtrack of horror
film. 6165 cuts off at 0553* while 6000 continues 0600+, but at 0605
check, 6000 is also gone.

All this certainly implies that the 6000 & 6165 pair are from one same
transmitter site, while 6060 & 6100 are from another, accounting for
totally different program feed inputs. BUT, Aoki & EiBi both show 6000
Quivicán, 6165 Bauta; 6060 & 6100 also both Bauta. So we may suspect
6165 now is also really Quivicán.

Something`s always wrong at RHC! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100 // << 6000 much stronger, June 12 at 1256 but both VP
fading into daytime, RHC. EiBi and Aoki show 6000 Quivicán has another
hour to run but 6100 Bauta until 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13639 & 13761 approx., June 12 at 1414, RHC F# spurblobs at
S5-S7 and S5-S6 respectively, out of undermodulated 13700-AM at
S9/+10. Trace on second-order 13578 but not circa 13822. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9490.05V, UT Sat June 12 at 0222, R. República
announcing `Alternativa`, a joint produxion with R. Martí; outro, I
guess. They have been coöperating for some time. Unchecked whether
live simulcast but doubt it. Then own sked given as 9-10 pm lunes a
miércoles, 9-11 pm jueves a domingo, i.e. 01-02 UT Tue-Thu; 01-03 UT
Fri-Mon. Not only off-frequency, this Issoudun, but wavering as I try
to measure it, like 9490.045 to 9490.056. Call it 9490.05V (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat June 12 at 0215, only pirate signal
is here with music, S9-S8 presumably Ball Smacker Radio`s regular
Friday night broadcast from 01 UT Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UGANDA [non]. 15170, Sat June 12 at 1455, checking again for the
``non-clandestine`` political target broadcast, but still absent,
while the ``jamming`` is already running again, as heard via
UTwente.

Now I am not so sure it`s jamming or against Ugandan ex-show. For one
thing, it`s doubtful opponents in Uganda could come up with such
blockage on short notice. From the sound of it, could well be OTH
radar invading SWBC band. Now it is not centered on 15170, but peaking
closer to 15160 and audible all the way from 15140 to 15170. Victim
now is 15150, R. Tamazuj via Madagascar. Noise still running past
1539, 1607, but off by next check 1658.

Has IRRS moved the Ugandans somewhere else? I`m too occupied with
LRA36 et al. to bandscan for it, but HFCC still shows only 7290, 9510,
15170 and 15515 for ``Milano``; 15515 also at 1500-1530 Saturdays only
which we should have checked, in Oromo instead of ``English`` on
15170:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2090 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Sat June 12 at 0130 on WRMI 9395 --- WOR has stayed on the System G
skedgrid at this time since its first appearance 5 weeks ago, while
some other program really took over for 4 weeks. But it, or something
like it is still running this week.

Confirmed Saturday June 12 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, S7-S8 direct.

Also confirmed Sat June 12 at 1600 on WRN to N America webcast.

** CUBA. 6100, June 11 at 0550, this RHC English channel is off. 6060
is S9+ mostly hum; 6000 & 6165 both S9+20/30 with sufficient
modulation; 5040 axually in English too, S9+10/20 but fighting higher
storm noise level, none close to OK per Blitzortung. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UGANDA [non]. 15170, Tune-in at 1454 Friday June 11 via UTwente,
huge S9 jamming? of very rapid pulsing covering 15161-15184; by 1502
no sign of the Uganda service. It would be nice for someone to try to
DF the jamming, TDOA or otherwise. And note when it go off, after
1530?

Both Ron Howard in CA and Walt Salmaniw in BC say they are not hearing
anything on 15170, neither Uganda service nor jamming. Richard
Langley, NB, agrees with my timing on recording of when the jamming
stopped, so it`s obviously intentional interference, despite nothing
to block today. Has IRRS moved somewhere else, or concluded tests; and
then what?

``According to my recording using the U. Twente SDR receiver today (11
June), the jamming/interference stopped at about 1536:30 UT (based on
recording start time in file name and file bit rate).
-- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2090 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, UT Friday June 11 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG; but usual System F
// 7780 is OFF! Still with antenna repair problems?

Also confirmed Fri June 11 at 2048 the 2030 on IRRS via Italia-AM, 918
kHz, Villa Estense, S9+25 into Nearby Noale KiwiSDR, but with higher
local line noise level than initially. To completion at 2059 except
for cutting off the last two syllables of ``disclaimer``.

** U S A. (7489.9v webcast), UT Sat June 12 from 0000, WBCQ, `AAAWWW`,
semi-monitored; long discussion about drawbax of electric cars,
battery replacement problems; 0049 finally datestamp as 11th of June
YOOL 2021, and tomorrow June 12 will be Allan`s 68th birthday, to be
celebrated, but not narcissistically. In DeLand of Fla it`s 85
degrees, 60% humidity but Angela hates air-conditioning as unhealthy
but apparently has relented at the moment. 0055 quick items from Free
Radio Weekly just published, a few emails and over. Another week and
he has said nothing at all about the stalled WHRI purchase,
Super-Station problems, new frequencies? or any station/program
updates. Nor has he twitted anything significant last few weeks, just
checked. Over to John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490 but between storm
noise and the het 6160 is difficult to copy. Allan and Angela in a
triple digit Fla. Angela's Angle starts early this evening with Angela
wondering why the push for green energy and electric cars when, in her
opinion the US pollutes less than anyone else in the world. Allan
takes the time to explain the pitfalls of electric cars. Then a
general discussion of power generation and usage. A tiny bit of dead
air at 0053. Reading of emails at 0055 with Allan doing an overview of
the latest Free Radio Weekly and then in to regular emails. Quick
closing prayer at 0059 and cut off at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. As I am not getting any Es FM DX, despite 88+ MUF spixe here
and there in the wrong spot, I drop to 28+ MHz for some 10-meter
hambeacons, all relogs as in the WJ5O roster:

28204-CW, June 11 at 2005, W0WF/B VVV DE --- still/again at 2200 on
the other rx.
``28.204 WØWF * SAINT CHARLES, MISSOURI # 20W, VERTICAL (*) Daylight
New 16 June 14``

Around 2010 UT June 11 quite a few JBA beacons in the 28.2+ MHz area.

28284.8-CW, June 11 at 2013, VVV N9TNY/B EN51 PSE RST --- that would
be about 579, stronger than the others JBA. Still/again at 2230 on the
other rx.
``28.2848 N9TNY C GENEVA, ILLINOIS # 5W VERTICAL New 21 May 2020``

28224.5-CW, June 11 at 2020, K5GJR/B
``28.2245 K5GJR C CORPUS CHRISTI, TX # 5W, VERTICAL``

The R75 tunes up to 60 MHz but I don`t have a VHF antenna for it, just
the same longwire for HF, MF and LF. I have a listen anyway at 2036
June 11, and hear a very chirpy CW signal on 50244 --- or is it just a
birdie? I have lots of those on HF & VHF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX mostly eludes me; instead fringe KS/OK
signals with deep Es-like fading due to turbulent high-temperature
atmosphere. June 11 at 1626 UT on caradio, semi-open 92.3 says ``92.3
The Brand``. WTFDA FM DB gets no hits! but it`s surely only Wichita
KS, and I have heard it just in time:

RadioInsight
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/209112/espn-wichita-92-3-the-fan-to-launch-june-14/

``ESPN Wichita 92.3 The Fan To Launch June 14
Lance Venta by Lance Venta June 4, 2021

ESPN Wichita 92.3 The Fan KKGQ Chad Boeger’s Pinnacle Media will
launch Sports “ESPN Wichita 92.3 The Fan” KKGQ Newton/Wichita KS on
Monday, June 14.

Boeger, who heads Union Broadcasting and its Sports stations in Kansas
City and Louisville, acquired KKGQ from Rocking M Media for $ 623,000
in April. The deal helped settle the legal battle between Rocking M
and Envision Broadcast Network dating to the 2017 merger of
then-Envision owned KKGQ into Rocking M’s Wichita closer. Rocking M
agreed to sell its entire cluster in 2019 to Allied Media Partners,
however liens placed on the stations by Envision were unable to be
cleared and Envision locked Rocking M Media out of their studios
located at Envision’s headquarters leading to the sale collapsing. The
former Red Dirt Country “Kansas Country 92.3” has been operating as
Country “92.3 The Brand” when on the air since then.

The new format will create a format competitor to Audacy’s 1240
KFH/97.5 K248CY. Shane Dennis, who had been co-hosting the 9-11am show
on KFH, has jumped to KKGQ to host from 12-2pm. The KKGQ lineup will
also feature simulcasts of two programs originating at Union’s 810 WHB
Kansas City. “The Border Patrol” with Steven St John, Nate Bukaty and
Jake Gutierrez, which airs from 7-10am in Kansas City will see its
final two hours air in Wichita. KKGQ will also carry the final half of
“The Program with Brad Porter” from 4-6pm.

ESPN Radio programming including Keyshawn, JWill and Zubin from 5-8am,
“Greeny” with Mike Greenberg from 10am-12pm, and Max Kellerman from
2-4pm will air in all other dayparts.``

Here`s a sesqui-year-old story about how messed up it was then:

``Carrie Rengers Have You Heard --- One Wichita-area Rocking M Media
radio station is back on, but what about the others?

By Carrie Rengers
January 30, 2020 04:32 PM, Updated January 31, 2020 04:07 PM

The on-again, off-again KKGQ, 92.3-FM is on again, but Monte Miller
apparently does not want to discuss it. “We put it back on the air is
all,” said the owner of Salina-based Rocking M Media...`` Read more

** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, June 10 at 1324, KBS World Radio so-called NAm
service in English is nearing its solsticial peak, a hefty S4-S7 into
deep North America, about COVID-19, vax stats in ROK; 1351 in a
travelogue about hiking around Jeju Island at sunrise; now it`s S7-S9;
1400 into Korean hour. Most of the year this emission is a JBA carrier
or less, because it`s far too high a band for a mostly-dark
high-latutude path, but which is now getting max insolation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2090)

** SPAIN. 17855, June 10 after 2200, REE to NAm is holding up well;
Thursday is a day skipping English, but what`s on in Spanish? `Amigos
de la Onda Corta`, with the familiar voice of Antonio Buitrago, who
got a promotion to run the station. I missed the first few minutes,
but this edition is an interview about ``derecho de acceso`` at RTVE
itself. It seems this is an issue about various groups getting airtime
at the domestic public broadcaster; and there is now a bureaucratic
procedure for making their case via a form on the website.

With `shortwave` in its name, this has been classified as a `DX`
program, and the outro does mention DX among other topix, but as much
as I have been familiar with it, axual DXing and SW have seldom been
covered, rather media in the broadest sense. There is a huge archive
of podcasts like all their other programs, 371 of these here with
titles for each, not about SW or DX in the first two pages inspected:
https://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/amigos-de-la-onda-corta/
Most of them are a little too long to fit into 30-minute slots.

The page header shows airtimes, but altho in UT are obviously keyed
for winter time, now one UT hour earlier than: ``Amigos de la onda
corta --- Jueves a las 17.00 y 23.00 horas, viernes a las 02.00 horas
y sábados a las 13.00 horas UTC``

I do notice that none of them including this one are to be found in
the WWDXC A21 schedule of SWL/Media Programs in English, German,
Spanish,

** UGANDA [non]. 15170, Thu June 10 after 1500, NO signal from the
strange unID target broadcast seemingly via Romania; it was scheduled
in HFCC to skip Wednesday, which it did, but to resume Thursday.
What`s next on Friday+? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2090)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2089 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu
June 10 at 0130 on WRMI 50100, S9/+10 into Bonaire SDR. As usually
happens, the preacher preceding is too long, gets cut off for ID at
0129.5 before he can give his contact info, tsk.
