73, Glenn Hauser

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed May 19 at 1513 tune-in via
Pardinho, Brasil KiwiSDR, LRA36 amid historical talk about events in
1911, 1812, colores; S5-S7; ``Nacional, la Radio Pública ---`` ID,
efemérides; 1516 songs; 1526 LRA36 ID; 1530 ``Nacional, Antártida
Argentina``, songs. 1535 sign-off, repeats Saturday and back next
Wednesday; 1536 Antártida themesong. 1539 immediately ``sign-on`` of
same? show, in Spanish, German, English, Russian. Explains derivation
of Antártida from original Greek, Anta. song, 1545 brief weather
conditions, this is program #19, 1550 mostly music until 1601* chopped
off air abruptly during tune. This time I did not try to detect
whether reduced carrier linger (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, May 19 at 0615, RHC English is S9+20/30 of big humbuzz
only, no program modulation. 6100 is also dead air of S9+10/20 and
light humbuzz at same pitch; then bits of modulation cutting on and
off, and the same on 6060 before gone again. Wiggle that patchcord.
All these are off now: 6165, 6145, 6000, 5040. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, May 19 at 0613, no signal from ORTM; I don`t often
bother to log it while it`s there every night; propagation OK with
7254.9 Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed May 19 at 2215, token English from REE is VG into
VA SDR going from Hallelujah Chorus to a Basque accordionist laced
with anti-war comments in English, et al. Then a Piazzola tango at
2225. With such VG signals it`s fun to listen in SAS mode, i.e.
synchro artificial stereo --- except the SAM+ modes on all the Kiwis
I`ve tried are marred by clix every few sex (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 19 at 2214, VOT English is on today with music at
quick check via VA SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2086 monitoring: NOT confirmed Wed May 19 at
1030 on WRMI 5850. From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada,
From the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF,
Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: 5850 kHz, 1030,
1058, outstanding signal, not much heard, no voice, there’s always
something wrong at WRMI, USA, no audio heard, May 19 UTC 2021. 73’s,
Richard, May 19, 2021``

NOT confirmed Wed May 19 at 2100 on WRMI 7780: after BZ ID, same thing
happens! Transmitter on but dead air even past 2130. Earlier airings
on same System F were OK.

Confirmed Wed May 19 at 2100+ on WBCQ 7490-, S7-S8 via VA SDR, -136 Hz
carrier offset = 7489.864. Next and last:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

New WOR 2087 should be ready by early UT May 21 for first broadcasts
on WRMI 5850 & 7780 at 0130 Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2249 UT May 19

** CUBA. 6060, May 18 at 0636, this RHC English is humbuzzy again,
while 6165 & 6100 are both on and OK; 6000 & 5040 both off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, May 18 at 1426, RHC Spanish ex-9710, just as it was for
the tarde transmission earlier UT May 18. BUT:

9710, May 18 at 2155 back here after last evening and this morning on
9700 instead; so a one-day test, mistake, or what? Both have collision
problems during their long spans as I already explained.

It will be recalled that for a few weeks, 9700 was employed for
evening English instead of 6145 or 6165. RHC really *should* keep one
31mb frequency for that, especially in summer, instead of putting all
their English eggs in the noisy 48-59m basket. Reasonable frequency
diversity is always a good idea for best coverage. Wait a minute: what
if the Commies take my advice? Never mind. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13610 & 13677 very approx., wideband FM spurblobs not from
13700 in the mornings, but now at 2152 May 18, from 13740-AM in the
evening, the only RHC fundamental on band. Also telltale F# tone; also
a trace circa 13811. But all gone at 2227 since 13740 has been turned
off tho still scheduled.

13670 & 13810 spurs out of 13740-AM, all back on May 19 at 0033.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145 & 6165, May 19 at 0052 and still 0142, no RHC English on
either, just 6000 which is S9+10/20 but undermodulated, vs storm
noise. It does not help that main announcer Lina Valverde has such a
thin, non-announcer voice. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, May 19 at 0143, REE to N America is still propagating
midnightly, natch OSOB, S9-S7 and also until 0200 sign-off, 0201-0205*
needless prolongation of earworm IS but SOP for REE at closings. Only
// 11940 for S America does the same and is better at S9/+20. As
non-useful as it may be for best listening, sticking to 17855 may be
taken at least as an interesting propagational experiment for the
summer A-21 season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 18 at 2158 & still 2226 recheck, no signal from
VOT English to N America tho no RTTY either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, May 18 at 0638, S9+10/20 of open carrier, surely
WRMI-10. Misprogrammed automation or test for some reason? Last time I
caught same way after-hours was April 6, also a Tuesday, no
coincidence? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 12820, May 17 at 1439 JBA in Chinese? A Sound of Hope
frequency *jammed by CNR1 -- with Korea North so strong on 11710, I`m
seeking these above & below 11 and 13 MHz where many are listed and
used to be rampant, but this is the only one now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6030, May 16 at 2342, unusually quiet frequency,
except for storm noise, no Martí and no jamming despite not starting
until *0000. HFCC shows until 0400*, plus one more hour on Day 2 =
Monday after which jamming continues against nothing, not even CFVP
Calgary, which needs some minor repairs but not without turning off AM
1060 CKMX which they don`t want to do (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, May 17 at 0515, this RHC is off in English; remaining
on 6000 & 6165 which are OK, 6060 a bit rough but not humbuzzy; and
5040 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, May 18 at 0219, RHC Spanish here ex-9710, // weaker
9535 and many more of various less weaks: 6060, 13740, 11670, 11850,
5040. That takes care of the collision with CRI to Latin America at
00-03 via Kashgar, land of ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other
Moslems. Could RHC have got around to reading my previous advisories?
Now the collision should be with Romania in Spanish for only one hour,
this one at 02-03; but no sign of it now. May be one of the
temporarily? silent transmitters misleading RHC into a supposed
opening. We shall hear. Span of 9710 was allegedly 21-05 & 11-15, so
if same on 9700, another Rospania clash would be 23-24. There is no
reason for same change to be made both morning and evening, but I
shan`t be surprised if RHC matutina also lose a dekaHz to 9700 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 11710, May 17 at 1440, sweet music from the workers`
paradise, during VOK French hour to N America, S9-S7 and // 9435 is
S5-S6; but 13760.2 is a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 16 at 2200, VOT sounds on but JBA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17530, Mon May 17 at 1404, strong open carrier cuts off
shortly after tune-in. No doubt a routine 10 AM test of a VOA
Grimesland transmitter prior to scheduled usage from 1700. Also by
USAGM via Vatican, violating Separation of Church and State, until
1400; then an hour off except for São Tomé on weekends; from 1500 more
Botswana and ST before 1700 switch to GB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2086 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 16 at 2000 on IRRS via Italia-AM, 918 kHz, VG via nearby Noale
SDR.

NOT confirmed, Sun May 16 at 2200 on Area 51/61 via WBCQ 6159.9
because it`s OFF the air as are the other two WBCQs: 7489.9+, no UBMP;
and 9330.00, no wacko flat-earthers. Also no trace of them at Virginia
SDR. Blitzortung shows a small storm right around Monticello into NB,
but no recent or current lightning strixe. Must have closed down as
precaution, but streaming of WOR and UBMP is still working, where I
would listen anyway. Still off SW at 2249, but by 2257, 9330 and 7490
are back on; a JBA carrier on 6160: that would be Iran in Arabic from
2250: another reason for WBCQ to get off 6160 permanently, like shift
to 6155 as I keep proposing. By 2318, 6160- is on with music at
S9/+10, carrier offset minus 108 = 6158.892 kHz.

WOR 2086 confirmed Sun May 16 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/15 into
Virginia.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20/30
direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0130 on WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0230 on WRMIs: 7780 VP/JBA S7 vs storm
noise; 5800 S9+20 direct but not overcoming nearby storms.

Next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
