WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULE updated Jan 6:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

** BRAZIL. 11749.651, Jan 6 at 0721, new frequency of R. Voz
Missionária, S6/S7 vs HNL with music, way off nominal 11750 just like
it has been below 9665 and 5940. 9665v is now OFF, so is it the same
transmitter and cannot be on both at once? Nor any trace of 5939- for
several weeks now. Wolfgang Bueschel also tracked the 25m channel
wobbling all over the place. Tnx to Célio Romais who first reported
the new frequency. It seems 11750 had been allocated to RVM many years
ago, but not even in WRTH 2005 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 6 at 0717, R. Rebelde music is S9+20 but still
suptorted. No RHC frequencies still on 5, 6 or 10 MHz. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, Jan 6 at 2234, no signal into UTwente from R.
Cairo in English nominally 2115-2245. Somethings always amiss at Abis
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Jan 6 at 0735, only 9/kHz split JBA carrier is
here, R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255, Jan 6 at 0733 check, no signal from VON (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW, Jan 6 at 0745, PN, 25 watt ND beacon at PoNca
City is reactivated. Was first noted off as of Jan 4.

350 MCW, Jan 6 at 0747, RG, 350 watt ND beacon at Will RoGers World
Airport, OKC is also reactivated. Was first noted missing Dec 23
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO-FM, new times for `Module` programs M-F are
being found by monitoring: Fri Jan 6 at 2101-2105 UT, `Engines of Our
Ingenuity` from KUHF, this one from 2005/2006y about how the leap
second came about - altho they seem to have stopped by now.

At 2200-2202 UT, `Composers Datebook`: this is the one with easy
access online: for half an hour per biweek, you can hear all past 14
episodes including weekends, along with the scripts and notice how the
announcer has edited them:
https://www.npr.org/podcasts/381443926/composer-s-datebook

And at 2300-2303, `A Day to Remember`, this one about the one wife of
Henry VIII who survived while Cromwell got the blame and beheading.
Yes, during KUCO local classical origination again, including
rush-hour traffic reports of no use outside The Metro (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 6 at 2300, token English from REE, feature
topix preview to be about Toys for Tots and Ronald McDonald at a
children`s hospital; and what to expect from music in Spain this year?
Between them asks for comments by whatsapp long number, or email. 2318
Amy Egan on the Spanish music scene in 2022, different genres
including rock, flamenco. Good S9+10/15 into Maryland remote. At 2322
check other frequencies into same remote: 11940 much weaker but
audible; 12030 JBA; 11685 inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005+, Jan 6 at *2259, VOT comes on
overlapping BBC OMAN; but after BBC is off, still a heavy rippling SAH
upon VOT, because it`s the one +5 Hz off-frequency vs the carrier from
PBS Xinjiang, East Turkistan, land of imperialist Chicom genocide
against Uyghurs and other Moslems, as yet itself unmodulated. VOT`s
news until 2309 music bit and `Review of the Tuerkiyish Press` only
until 2311 more music bit. 2312/2313 modulation starts from the
CCCCCCI making matters worse. 2320 Analysis of Russia vs Ukraine
during 2022. 2332 `Feeling Supreme` theme but too much QRM. 2334
switch to Maryland SDR no longer needed for Spain, gets rid of most of
QRM but much weaker noisy signal remains. Anyhow we are distracted by
going out for full view of a beautiful orange/pink sunset; 2343 more
music playing; 2346 `DYKT?` highest point in Turkey, Mt Ararat, 5137 m
and attempts to climb it; song. 2353 s/off with full but jumbled
English schedule. 2355 fragment of IS and off* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring. Checking the
website
https://www.uniqueradio.biz/
Jan 6 to update my DX Programs and WOR schedules, we find this
notice:

``* Unique SW Beacon 5035 kHz USB * The shortwave is on air but may
occasionally not be due to the owners work schedule. * Many programs
have been re-timed, please check the sched * Some streaming of Unique
Radio is mostly available from January 1 2023 with some New Year
extended times. *Jen continues to stream per her schedule.*``

The trouble is, AEST times are shown along with UT as 10 hours
earlier; but NSW should now be on DST of UT +11. Manager Tim Gaynor
explains to me that local times are correct in AEST of UT+10, not AEDT
of UT+11, since altho in NSW he is close to Queensland which stays on
UT+10 and he does not like DST; nor do I! Could anyones awake then
please confirm times by webcast and/or by remote receiver tuned to
5035 USB confirming it is on air?

Still unknown which frequencies are really in use by WRMI, Friday Jan
6 at 0830: 5010, 5850, 7780? In fact, none are now shown for WOR. Note
there is a new time for WOR as on sked below, Sat 2230 on three?
frequencies.

Not confirmed Friday Jan 6 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, off the air again,
but confirmed on webcast only. 9955 was still on air circa 1505 with
fill music and ID, but off by next check 1527, only JBA jamming
against nothing. Next:

** U S A. 6160-, Jan 6 at 2356, S7/S9 of dead air from WBCQ,
interrupted for a few seconds at 0000 for legal ID by Allan, back to
dead air past 0022 Jan 7, -64 Hz into Maryland SDR = 6159.936. What is
scheduled?
6160 Sa 0000 0100 UTC Fr 07:00PM 08:00PM EST Cruisin Radio with Arthur
Burton

While we`re at it, note the conflict at 0130-0200:
6160 Sa 0100 0200 UTC Fr 08:00PM 09:00PM EST Allan and Angela
Worldwide
6160 Sa 0130 0200 UTC Fr 08:30PM 09:00PM EST Your UFO Show
A neat trick, maybe independent sidebands. Ha. Note that the 6160 sked
never mentions TOMBS, tho Brother Scare is on there late into the
night and maybe elsewhen at hours otherwise unaccounted for. Meanwhile,
7490- & 9330- are nominal, 5130- & 3265+ off for now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 11835, Jan 6 at 0725, R. Vanuatu is S5/S8 with
music vs HNL. This signal is more like it! As MUF has improved since
last few nights following RV QSY to 3945 plus harmonix. Now RNZI is
also VG S9+10/20 with its songs on 13755. 7890 RV however is a JBA
carrier only.

Gary Pence sends some clips and says, ``Using AI6VN/KH6 rSDR,
01/06/2023, 0900z-0913z: 3945 kHz S7, S8; 7890 kHz, S8, some codar
QRM; 11835 kHz, S9+5db to 12db. YL speaking Bislama congratulating
students for the next year in 2023 in audio recording one. YL and OM
ID program in second recording. Best signal in Maui on 25 meters free
of QRM/QRN. Gary Pence, KM5X, TX`` --- I may include some of this on
next WOR 2173 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, Jan 6 at 0730, S5/S9 open carrier and no jamming;
0731 starts 1 kHz tone. Only thing in Aoki & EiBi & HFCC at this hour
is PBS Xizang, ChiCom-imperialist-occupied Tibet, at 0158-0957 and
this would be amid the so-called `Holy Tibet` English hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

NOTE: last report should have been subjected Jan 6, 2023, not 2022

** ALASKA [non]. 13760, Jan 6 at 0213, lively song, of praise? almost
like it`s looping; 0215 Today`s -something, evangelizing mentioning
bible, faith in god; 0218 US PO Box address. S9 and the SSOB, yea OSOB
on 22m. EiBi says this is African Pathways Radio, via MADAGASCAR, for
S Asia. That makes no sense! This is in plain American accents, no
African accents used by APR. But no S Asian accents either.

This has been a confusing situation for some time, perhaps World
Christian Broadcasting not without blame. Aoki, OTH, says it`s W.C.B,
no target. Neither gives azimuths, but HFCC shows 40 degrees for
CIRAFs 41 and 42S = S. Asia. That angle means we are close to off the
side from it thisaway, yet MWV has that huge transequatorial
propagational advantage. It must be blasting in the boresight. All
sources agree there is a second hour at exactly same parameters,
0300-0400; repeat of same daily content, or different?

For convenience via an Illinois remote at 0254 I recheck during the
wacko `Creation Moment`, then 0255 ``Your New Life Station`` with its
Friday program, hours and ``best`` frequencies. In the Pacific: 6075
at 08, 9680 at 10, 9580 & 9625 at 12, 6110 at 14. In India, 13760 at
02 & 03, says Rob Scobey of Your New Life Station - no mention of
Madagascar, nor of Alaska! For this is a.k.a. KNLS during those
Pacific emissions when it`s really Alaska [non non]. 0259 pause. 0300
English will start in one minute, meanwhile playing the familiar KNLS
IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 6 at 0219, RHC Spanish is S9+20 but suptorted ==
modulation suppressed and distorted. No signal on 11850 but a horrible
crackle circa 11852: see USA: WWCR. 9535 also RHC, S8/9+10 stronger
than usual but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

BTW, I perform a broad Google search of the Internet on that
catch-phrase I coined. It insists on searching first with a proper
apostrophe, resulting in 155 hits. When I insist on searching on the
way I spell it, with a ` grave accent instead, we get about 3000. Of
course most of these are bound to lead to my postings, altho some
others have taken it up; not including the slightest variations by me
or them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, UT Fri Jan 6 at 0236, RHC English as Lena
Valverde starts `Arts Roundup`. Equally good signal and mod on both
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 6 at 0238, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30 but
overmodulatedistorted; meanwhile there are NO signals on 4765, 5040,
10050 or 10080. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7410, Jan 6 at 0230, nice Romanian folk music at S9+20/30,
and // weaker 5990 RRI a few minutes later but with some unpleasant
yelling. I look it up in the latest edition of Alan Roe`s Music
Programmmes on Shortwave, RRI`s French hour, but Friday is the only
day of week with no entry at 0230-0245! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, UT Friday January 6 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S6/S8 but sufficiently
good into Maurice, Louisiana SDR. Still starts with 10+ seconds of
self inflicted overriding noise hitting at exactly same time I start
talking. First tried Missouri SDR but it`s still suffering audio
dropouts every few seconds. Next:

** U S A. 7505, Jan 6 at 0226, WRNO S9/+20 but JBM in English. Why
bother? Something`s messed up in Metairie. Do they know that back at
Fort Worth HQ? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.930, Jan 6 at 0227, WBCQ is back after more than a week
of downtime for repairs, while 7 frequency`s programming ran on 5130-
instead, but now that`s off again until 0300 R. Angela. Still
typically off-frequency-minus, sounds OK except for the content, Hal
Turner talking about pipelines (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5920-5947 approx., Jan 6 at 0234 horrible crackling noise
spanning this range and maybe to 5950 if it were not for WRMI
shouldering; obviously emanating from defective WWCR transmitter amid
on 5935 with dead Gene Scott at S9+40/50. This correlates with the
same crackling heard at 0220 I was about to blame on Cuba, centered
about 11852 at only S9+25, i.e. 2 x 5926. Something`s gnarly at
gNashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Jan 6 at 0237, the real WTWW, S9+20/30 with Scriptures
for America. Wondering what PPP meant, Kai Ludwig found this
disrespectful entry:

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Jan 5 at 0430 UT, K17JN-D Enid is OFF the air
again, just in time for me not to be able to see another episode in
3ABN`s series about Adventist World Radio. Will advise if and when
this upshow again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

like last week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Jan 5 at 1935 tune-in to dead air on WRMI but soon
starts `Flashpoint Ukraine` from VOA not otherwise on SW. But this
stops at 1947, then fill music for rest of hour; 2000 `SOS WRMI`
fundraiser post-Hurricane Ian, which occupies some or all `Viva Miami`
slots (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Jan 5 at 0733, JBA carrier and nothing on 7260, so
R. Vanuatu must continue on 3945 which harmonicizes, but nothing
audible on 11835 either; while NZ 13755 is S7/S8; all vs unusually
local high noise level - HNL. Meanwhile, no further reports of
Mongolia continuing on 7260 but China is there too, PBS Xinjiang
listed, and also CRI after 1100; RV may as well continue attaining
three other frequencies for the price of one, at least after 0700
