Hauser
** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.6, March 4 at 2229, no R. Cairo signal into
UTwente, no lock until 2230 when Chinese oncomes at 9899.999.8v: in
fact two Chinese mixing, i.e. a China radiowar, CNR1 jamming vs R.
Taiwan International both from *2230; but no QahiRM which would last
until 2245 if on the air at all today from 2115 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7220, March 4 at 2325, RRI English with lots of
CCCCI as well as QRhaM direct. It`s CRI Vietnamese via Xianyang 59
site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Mar 4 at 2300, token English from REE is VG direct
at S9+10/20, 2306 feature about an art thief I can skip. 12030, 11940
and 11685 also audible. First chex of 9690 via Virginia, St Lucia
remotes were noisier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 4 at 2310, VOT English is poor direct, S5-S9,
tho VG into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2128 monitoring: confirmed Friday
March 4 at 1915 on reactivated 7290, IRRS via Bulgaria. Tuned in
earlier, 7290: 1859 carrier already on 7289.999, S9+45 into UTwente
with 1377 users at the moment, but dead air until 1900.8 JIP Feature
Story News, 1905 IRRS ID and UN News in Brief, then music fill.
Harmonic 14580 not audible at UTwente or Carlow.

1323 kHz: first trying KiwiSDR at Tambov, Russia, just east of Ukraine
and 418 km SSE of Moskva. Headed by this with translation: ``I see an
extraordinary number of scripters. It's not good. I'll think about
what can be done so that the network flood from them does not
interfere with others. In the meantime, so as to cool the interest a
little. All of this temporarily.``

This one at http://sdr.tambov.gq:8901/ is labeled as covering only
1.6-10 MHz! But is tuning 1323, where at 1906 at S9 I am hearing
German only, i.e. the 15 kW Romanian station belying IRRS` claim to
get into Ukraine and Russia on 1323. At 1908 I compare it to Noale SDR
near 1323 where Romania now in music is mixing with IRRS music.

At 1915 I can hear WOR starting almost synch with 7290. But at 1920,
some horrible noise hits 7290, whine, roar with breakup, and I hear
the same via Carlow, Eire SDR, so it`s not an SDR problem. At 1923 I
can make out the same noise vs the other QRM on 1323, so it`s a
problem on the feed from `Milano`.

Via the Tambov SDR now at 1925 I am only hearing the music from
Romania. The noise continues on both frequencies past 1930 when I quit
in frustration. Recheck at 1959 finds 7290 clear with Ray Robinson
talking about Philippines, so it`s AWR Wavescan until he`s chopped off
for IRRS QSL offer which is also chopped off the air before finishing
with address. A ~29 minute program cannot possibly fit into a ~15
minute slot, assuming WOR played to completion at 1944. Just a WS
fragment as filler.

At 2001 I recheck Tambov on 1323 and hear a 1 kHz tone, presumably
Romania which has not turned off yet. Underneath is the Verdi theme of
IRRS. Vice versa which dominates at Noale, Italy. At 2005, Feature
Story News again detectable, but at Tambov more QRM in Hungarian:
another Romania broadcast not in WRTH, I guess until 2100? Recheck at
2115, Romania finally off allowing AM Italia into Tambov, American
English program about Black History, which turns out at 2120 to be
`Counterspin` from FAIR, also on many US public radio stations; then
about the Tulsa Race Massacre.

At 2130 the next WORLD OF RADIO 2128 broadcast on 1323 can be heard
both at Tambov and stronger at Noale.

Later at 0040 UT March 5 I bring Tambov up again to investigate its
tuning because as I noted earlier at 1800 March 4 it was blocked from
tuning 9770 for BBC in Russian which was not on air anyway. It turns
out that Tambov is blacked out for everything above 7200! The 40m
hamband 7000+ works except for blox at 7045-7055, where we know there
has long been a Russia/Ukraine ham radio war. I notice a user in North
Carolina tries it briefly on 4625, the buzzer frequency, but that is
also blocked.

WORLD OF RADIO 2128 also confirmed UT Saturday March 5 at 0230 on WRMI
9395, S9+5 into Minneapolis SDR. Next:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat March 5 from 0100, WBCQ webcast of
`AAAWWW`, a new one, starts with Uranus joke, which can be seen just
above the crescent Moon Sunday evening. Allan says that Moon ``rises``
just after sunset: axually it *sets* after sunset. Discussion of
horses, horseless carriages. Wreck closed all 4 lanes of I-95; thank
god for radio for info about it. Says WBCQ has 6 transmitters, the #6
one being the 9330. But there are only three other frequencies active,
so what about the other two? Does that include the one Jeff White gave
him?

A new music show began tonight at 6-7 pm ET [23-24 UT] Friday,
`Quality Control Live`. I missed the frequency so is it on the
websked? Of course not!

Electric bill expected to double in one or two years --- till a real
president comes back. WBCQ is running at a loss. Lots of maintenance
to be done this summer, postponed because of COVID. Would like to buy
more antennas and stations, and not just for religious programming.
Would welcome $ 5 or 10 million to do that, hint hint. Allan trying to
avoid politix, but Angela can`t help it, blasts left-wing media,
especially, under her breath, Rachel Maddow whom she can`t stand. Is
convinced elexion was stolen.

0133, finally datestamp for those who just tuned in [why?], 4th of
March YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 4760. Alan can`t take
the cold in Maine, as when he visited in January for maintenance.

0136, plugs Radio Angela programming -- a neat name, Angela thinx.
Tonight at 10pm ET it`s FTIOM [no, at 0340 check it`s Canadian Content
Radio, S9+10 to Missouri SDR but with storm crashes from SE Nebraska,
FTIOM from 0400 UT]; and at midnight [05 UT Sat], Glenn Hauser`s World
of Radio, the last true program of listeners digest news emphasizing
shortwave. Allan can`t remember when gh was not on SW. R. Angela is
for entertainment, ``anti-political`` on SW only, no streaming.

COVID diminishing, time to throw stupid masks away. Diet advuce: avoid
white food, like rice, milk, potatoes, and hydrate with lots of plain
H2O, not juice or soda.

0147, for nth time, Allan claims that Canadian government does not
allow any private ownership of SW stations! I reply equally nthly,
what about CFRX and CFVP??? Except for the SuperStation, WBCQ tries to
keep its equipment simple. 0150 items from Free Radio Weekly, just
out. Finally catches himself that SSTV means slow-scan TV, not ``SSB``
TV. 0155 some email, 0159 prayer, 0201.7 JIP Hal Turner late. Standard
disclaimer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AZORES. 6114, March 4 at 0718, RTTY at S9+10 reportedly US Navy,
seems to be more active now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 5910.000, March 4 from 1727 no signal into UTwente from
Channel 1 satellite TV audio from Canoga Park clandestine via
Uzbekistan? S9+5/15 carrier with hum finally cuts on late at 1738.2 or
so and JIP talk modulation in Farsi? from 1739. Fridays only and no
one reported it last week. Two men conversing, nothing resembling an
ID heard, and they stop at 1753 while humcarrier stays on until
1800.5*. Previously also lasted well less than 30 or even 29 minutes
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, March 4 at 0717, ORTM S5-S8 in French, back on air
after missing last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 4810, March 4 at 0714, no JBA carrier from R. Logos vs
STANAG, but sometimes there is (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS [and non]. Tonight March 4 from 0436 past 0500 past
0527, S5-S8 open carrier on 9545 into Maui SDR. Don`t see how it could
be anything but SIBC; unknown when may switch to 5020 and even
modulate it. 9545 finally cut off at 0549.5* - but 5020 not on yet by
0611. 9545 carrier was within 1 Hz of accurate. Recheck direct at
0711, JBA carrier now on 5020, as well as 5040 presumed Vanuatu.

Later replies via WOR iog: Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec: ``Hi all, At 0845
on 5020 male and female talks, poor signal, unreadable, must be SIBC.
73 Lucio, Embu Brasil``

Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, California: ``SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020,
SIBC, 1022 UT, March 4. Thanks to Glenn for noticing their
reactivation after a considerable silence; better audio level than
heard in the past, but still unreadable.

Glenn - My last check for SIBC (5020 or 9545) was on March 1, with no
signal heard. Same on Feb 28, from 0955+ UT. Was not listening at the
beach March 3`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 9770, March 4 at 1800-1820+, again no signal into UTwente from
BBCWS daily in Russian, as in HFCC supposed to have started yesterday,
250 kW, 66 degrees from Woofferton. Hurry up! The war is on. No other
Russian language shown on entire BBC schedule. Also tried to check it
via Tambov, Russia, KiwiSDR. It appears to be running showing only
noise on 9770, no carrier to lock onto --- but no audio as if muted,
certainly not by me! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Confirmed first SWBCs, UT Friday March 4 at 0130 on WRMIs: 7780,

Also confirmed UT Fri Mar 4 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, S9/+10 direct but
flutter in noise, and ACI de 5980 WWCR 5890/5935 leapfrog (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4905, March 4 at 0713, JBA carrier vs CODAR. Maybe
Brasil allegedly 24h; Tibet also scheduled on but too early (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4970, March 4 at 0712, JBA carrier where no broadcaster
is listed; ghost of R. Rumbos? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** AZORES. 6114, March 3 at 0717, believed to be USN sending RTTY
intruding in broadcast band, now S9+10, vs 6115 Japan only S6-S8.
Another comment about it from Lou Johnson, who is concerned that it
QRM WWCR when on 6115 until 0200:

``6115 Heavy RTTY Interference --- last night (3/1). BUT, prior to
that, for the previous 3 days, it was only about 50/50 interference so
the programs were intelligible. With the crisis in Ukraine, I don't
see it letting up. Lou KF4RCA Atlanta`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, March 3 at 0719, RHC is S9+10 and for a change managing
to modulate in English; all others are off. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 13600, March 3 at 1504, S5-S8 in Farsi: it`s R. Farda
via Lampertheim, GERMANY, 0530-1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, March 3 at 0718, no signal from ORTM; nor on day
frequency 9635. 5995 had been a staple after 0600 tho seldom bothered
to log (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. March 3 at 1533 UT, Level 1 tropo enhancement shows BAD
DTV signals on RF 10, 12, 14, 20, 21, 22, 31, 34, 35, 36 --- and again
only one DX signal decoding, RF 28, virtual 44 from KTPX Okmulgee
including Newsy on 44-6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, March 3 at 0722, JBA carrier maybe trace of
music in splash from 5025 CUBA; presumed SIBC, first trace of it here
in some weeks. Believe SW had been silent. Equivalent to 5040 JBA
carrier presumed Vanuatu. On Jan 31, Bryan Clark reported to WOR iog:

```I have been in dialogue with Martin Hadlow who has been the WRTH
collaborator for Solomon Islands. At my request he has been in touch
with SIBC and he has just advised:

``Have had a response from the SIBC in Honiara. Their MW transmitter
is on and working OK. The problem is with the Japanese manufactured
transmitter on shortwave. (I think the one TX runs both 5020 and 9545
frequencies). The SIBC technical team is getting advice from the
Japanese manufacturer. The equipment came back on-air briefly a few
days ago, but is off again now. They are working as hard as they can
to get it fixed.`` Regards, Bryan -- Mangawhai - Northland - New
Zealand```

Ron Howard`s last report on this from California: ``Also no signal
from SIBC (5020, nor on 9545) on Feb 7, from 0825+ UT. Ron`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 12125, March 3 at 1508, S9/S7 unID language, must be
Tibetan as scheduled this hour, RFA via TINIAN; and with CCCCCCI
underneath from CNR1 jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [and non]. 9770, March 3 at 1800, no signal from BBCWS in
Russian yet, checked at UTwente, and still not at 1818 when also
checked at Tambov, Russia SDR. Ivo Ivanov had reported a new
registration in HFCC effective today for 1800-1830, 250 kW at 66
degrees from Woofferton. If and when it appear, will it be jammed?

On the WOR iog, Richard Langley, NB, asks, ``How long has it been
since BBC last broadcast on SW? Will they get jammed?`` Arthur Pozner,
NY, replies: ``The last BBC WS Russian language was in March 2011. I
cannot remember if it was ever jammed.``

Michael, 2E0IHW in the UK, says ``Critical though I am of current BBC
criteria, we must commend BBC for its shortwave resurrection. It
should now be multilingual 24/7. That said, Al Jazeera still provides
the most balanced news``

Mark Bailey replies: ``Keep in mind that MW stations around the
Ukrainian perimeter could capture the BBC SW broadcasts and then
rebroadcast them on MW. This was done for Radio Moscow and Radio
Habana Cuba in a few places beamed into the US back in the day. It was
weird listening to RM on MW in your car, you betcha! But at such times
as these, I don't think it's out of the question to solicit one or
more MW stations to help out along these lines`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 2097.3 CW, March 3 at 0726 UT, single-letter beacon A, still
JB audible every dekasecond from anywhere but Quartzsite AZ; for the
record (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565 CW, March 3 at 1503, HIFER beacon K6FRC audible vs
CODAR with continuous IDs only; allegedly 1.8 milliwatts from
Patterson CA; never heard beyond daytime morning hours. Very rarely
any others audible in this ISM band 13550-13570 despite listings
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2127 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

WOR)

** U S A. [WOR] South Park parodies Putin --- South Park is on the
ball, with a new episode `Back to the Cold War`, starring V. Putin et
al. Premiered last night UT Thu March 3 at 0100 on Comedy Central,
when all new episodes first appear. CC is crammed with old SP repeats,
but per TitanTV, this one, season 25, episode 4 is due to repeat,
times and days strictly UT, so mark your calendar: Sunday March 6 at
0614; UT Thursday March 10 at 0030. There is even some Russian dialog,
and the national anthem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 2 at 1510, no signal from LRA36
into three Brazil KiwiSDRs, missing this Wednesday. Someone in Salem
OR was also checking, no doubt Sam Sánchez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AZORES. 6114, March 2 at 0715, RTTY again vs 6115 Japan. Now I see
that Lou Johnson, Atlanta told me at 1330 Feb 27, presumably referring
to monitoring before 0200 when WWCR is on 6115: ``For the last 3
nights (2/24, 2/25. 2/26) I can hear some teletype, but it`s weak,
maybe 15% of the signal, and generally not a problem. Lou`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BELIZE. 21282-USB, March 2 at 2058, V31XX with quick contacts,
pileups, then says he is taking a break to rest his butt. QRZ.com:

``V31XX Belize flag Belize. QSL MANAGER: K4XS DIRECT ONLY WITH
SASE/GREEN STAMPS. Bill Kollenbaum, Consejo Shores, Corozal District,
Belize. I QSL 100! V31XX has been on the air since October 2021``.
It`s easy to assume 15m is not open, but full scan encounters a few
scattered DX signals, as 21525 WRMI is much more than usual JBA
carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, March 2 at 0712, S9+30 of dead air, the only RHC still
on air where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CURACAO. 21275-USB, March 2 at 2101, QRZ and CQ15 de PJ2/AF4Z
making quick contacts; is a contest underway? Someone asks him,
``where`s Curacao`` -- NE of South America. Oh. QRZ.com:

``PJ2/AF4Z Curacao flag, DONNIE L WINN, 1882 BARKLEY AVE, MELBOURNE,
FL 32935, Curacao. I will be in Curacao operating from Febuary 25 to
March 5 2019 [sic]. I will at the contest station PJ2T and also
operating with a team in the ARRL International DX Contest as PJ2T.
While at PJ2T contest Station, I will be operating as PJ2/AF4Z during
the week as time permits. QSL will be via LOTW or Direct only`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.60, March 2 at 2221 direct, no need for a remote to
detect Cairo crashingly on the air, S9+30/40 of extreme distortion,
presumably English. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, March 2 at 1902, checking how IRRS is doing this
Wednesday via Bulgaria: at UTwente weak vs heavy rapid steady pulsing
and heavy ACI from CRI on 7295. 1926 clear of pulsing with
anti-abortion show from AC 916, `Life Matters`; what has that to do
with Ukraine vs Russia? 1930 IRRS ID, `Feature Story News`; 1952
recheck, the rapid pulsing is back, also heard via Carlow, Eire SDR at
1902, so definitely something external, perhaps OTH radar (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT [non?]. 11765, March 2 at 1547, surprisingly strong S9/+10
signal next to Cuba, in Chinese, music, not much else from Asia on
band. Scheduled is RFA via Kuwait this hour on M/W/F, so it could be
CNR1 jammer instead. Jumps around to: 11590 Sat/Sun, 11725 Tue/Thu
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 28, March 2 at 1515 UT, only one DX signal decoding
with marginal tropo enhancement, Ion on virtual 44, including the only
subchannel of any value, Newsy on 44-6, unlike 62-7 in OKC. This is
KTPX Okmulgee = Tulsa market. Rabbitears.info shows it`s direxional
toward the NE, but thisaway very much off the side close to a null,
belying it being one of the top `Tulsa` stations decoding here. There
were also BAD sigs into the STB on at least: 10, 12, 34? The other
major TV info site, W9WI.com is gone and Doug Smith says it`s not
coming back; now goes to a Wordpress sample page (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Mar 2 at 2300, REE English VG into Maryland SDR;
after news at 2307 Amy introduces interview in Beirut with an
expeditioner to South Sudan to get acquainted with primitive tribes
and enjoying? being included in a flesh-cutting ritual. Just as this
is getting interesting, segment over already, 2311 on to Justin
visiting Madrid bookshops presumably with flesh intact (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March 2 at 2300, after BBC 2259*, no signal
from VOT English into UTwente; by 2305 the CCCCCCI is on already: make
that CCCC as there is nothing to CCI with: PBS Xinjiang, land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. Still
no VOT by 2315 and not checked further, so SPAIN q.v. without
competition (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4095+, March 2 at 0718 UT, upward sweeps and DW ID on CW for
Desert Whooper, heard twice in less than a minute. Very weak, JBA as
always (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 21282-USB, March 2 at 2059, KN2CZZ, John, close to center of
NY state, contacting unheard W5ZXV. Is he a novice?? Surely not now,
but displays his original novice license dated 4/17/53:
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/kn2czz
``KN2CZZ USA flag USA, John W Bell, 106 Stockton Pl, Syracuse, NY
13219, USA``. So you can still opt to op with novice call? 15m finally
a bit open but no activity on 12 or 10m, not even beacons (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2127 monitoring: zzz thru Wed Mar 2 at 1030
on WRMI 5850; anyone hear it?

Confirmed Wed March 2 at 2222 the 2200:21 on WBCQ 7490.1v, S3-S6 in
the noise level. On average reception here will get worse and worse
into spring and summer, markedly March 16 when shifted to 2100:21, an
hour further into the dayside. I hope it`s listenable further east. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 9955, Wed March 2 at 1548, music, then ``pigs in space`` on
WRMI. That would be Hobart R Intl. Seriously? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
