Hauser
** CUBA. 11850, June 14 at 0215, RHC back here ex-11840, ex-11850,
ex-11840, etc., but S9+10/20 of dead air; flanked by the JBA parasitic
spur carriers on 11840 & 11860. 0446 recheck still on with suptorted
modulation and the spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, June 14 at 0216, RHC humbuzz over music, presumably
Spanish service at this hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS writes me June 14:

``Hi Glenn, These broadcasts to Africa have now been ended by requests
of the sponsoring organisation.

However, we have a new broadcast on 15170 each Tuesday from 1500-1530
beamed to Kashmir. Any reception report will be welcome, and we will
pass it on to the broadcaster for answer according to our privacy
policy (GDPR applies to EU citizens) at
https://nexus.org/privacy-policy/
We will also issue our own QSL card, but we have a huge backlog, so
anyone please bear with us. Bests. Alfredo``

Tuesday only at 1500-1530 on 15170 is the HFCC registered one with 300
kW at 79 degrees from ``Milano``, while the Ugandan ones were
allegedly at 149 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 9890, Radio Yoruba, 19-24 UT via Woofferton UK:

At 1958 UT June 13, Alan Pennington posted to BDXC-UK iog:

``There were a few tweets on Twitter last week about a test
transmission Sun 6 June 2100-2200 on 9890 (or 98.90 kHz) with the tag
#Yorubaradio e.g.
"We are now ready for the test transmission. It will take place this
Sunday 6th June and will run from 2100-2200 UTC. The frequency of the
transmission will be 9890 kHz and this is the frequency we would aim
to use for the full broadcast. #YorubaRadio." (Yoruba Nation on
Twitter June 5) This must be the same station on 9890 at the moment
(1945 UTC). 73, Alan``

With a jpg attached, which I have transcribed into text:

``RADIO YORUBA 98.90 KHZ [sic]
BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
WHITE LION [emoji]
Comrade Olayomi Koiki

#Radio_Yoruba to be launched on 6/6/2021
Thanks to Comrade Olayomi Koiki
(AKA #White_Lion) 98.90 KHz

He made this possible. Now the gospel of Yoruba
Nation liberation would continue to be preached for all
to accept the message and bear us witness that
Yoruba Nation must be free.

#SayNo2023Election
#SayNoNigeria

``God bless Oloye Sunday Igboho for volunteering
himself to lead us out of this fraudulent contraption
called Liegeria
God bless Yoruba Nation``.
Comrade Raphael Adewale
OLCC-Texas-USA
5/6/2021``

I was wondering if any of the broadcast would be in English? I am not
listening to Yoruba hour after hour, but at 2322 check, 9890 is being
narrated in heavily accented English plus music background. Via
UTwente. At 2358 anthem? 2359 brief talk and music, off 2359.5* The
signal direct had been JBA (gh)

Some earlier discussion of this on the WOR iog:

``9890 June 12 2155 UNKNOWN ENGLAND in Yoruba (?). Does anyone already
have name information or who is the broadcast going to? Very good
signal here. 250 kW information and 170° azimuth. (Jorge Freitas-B)

``Hi Jorge, Thanks. Very interesting! This station is regarding
Nigeria and support for an independent Yoruba Nation. Please see -

The issue of Yoruba independence seems to be a very active matter just
now. Ron Howard``

``Thanks, Ron. Will listen out for them today. The desire of
independence for Yorubaland is not dissimilar to that of the Igbos in
Biafraland. Like many former British colonies, different ethnic
groupings of people (some with long-standing animosities) were forced
together to make a "new" country. Richard B. Langley``

``Hi Richard, Funny you should mention Biafra, as yesterday in London,
they held a joint Yoruba/Biafra rally. Is a very active time for
them!

Ron``

``Thanks, Ron. And we remember that the Igbos had some clandestine
transmissions not so long ago including Radio Biafra:
https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/radio-biafra
You probably have similar recordings.

And a decent signal into the U. Twente SDR receiver. At 1945, noted
mentions of Yoruba and snippets of the Yoruba National Anthem.
-- Richard Langley``

And later, UT June 14:
``I only listened to it in the Yoruba language. The signal here for me
is good.

73 Jorge Freitas``

Eric Fetters-Walp: ``I've been listening off and on since 2100 UT,
when I could clearly detect a signal on 9890 out west here in Lake
Stevens, Washington state, but only bits of audio every few moments.
Starting around 2335, the audio has faded in enough to be consistently
audible (music now as of 2340). The talking's no longer in English,
however; back to presumed Yoruba`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, June 14 at 0213, rock music, somewhat
distorted, and vs storm noise, S9; 0227 off or pause? 0231 on past
0246. Several reports here as unID, with SSTV but hard to decode on
unstable frequency. One image shows ``UNID`` on a pirate flag!

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UGANDA [non]. 15170, the 1500-1530 target broadcast continues to be
unheard; but see KASHMIR [non]

June 13 from 2000.6 in IRRS SW via Italia-AM, 918 kHz, Villa Estense,
VG S9+25 via nearby Noale SDR, following IRRS ID claiming to be on SW
in reduced-carrier USB, neither of which is correct.

Also confirmed Sun June 13 at 2219 the 2200, on Area 51 via WBCQ
6158.895 kHz, S6-S7 vs storm noise into Maryland SDR, SAM mode showing
carrier offset minus 105 Hz. JBA carrier direct; also on the WBCQ

into Maryland SDR with heavy jamming; less so at Bonaire.

NOT confirmed Sun June 13 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, now replaced by
something else per skedgrid.

Also confirmed UT Mon June 14 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Confirmed on Global Community Radio webcast just before finishing the
0100, at 0128 UT Mon June 14; but not on one of the stations which
used to relay us, KPDO Pescadero CA, nor on their program sked.

Also confirmed UT Mon June 14 at 0130 on WRN webcast to N America.

Also confirmed UT Mon June 14 at 0230 on WRMIs: 5800, S9+20 direct;

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey June 13 from 1446:

13530, June 13 at 1446, JBA Chinese
13020, June 13 at 1447, S8-S9 Chinese
12880, June 13 at 1448, S8-S9 Chinese about = noise level
No carriers found in the 11 or 16 MHz areas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, June 13 at 0614, S9+10/20 of dead air in English; 6165
OK in English; 6060 English with humbuzz; 6000 off; 5040 in extra
Spanish, S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11530, June 13 at 1701, no Cuban numbers signal when normally
scheduled. Nor 11635 at 1820 check. Rick Barton, AZ has been logging
these daily but all gone since June 11. 11435 at 1600 not heard June
13. Is the whole operation kaput? Propagation is degraded but still
RHC audible on 11760 & 15140 at 1720 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UGANDA [non]. 15170, June 13 at 1508, no IRRS signal, no jamming or
OTH radar in the area either, checking at UTwente. Ivo Ivanov notes
that 15170 has been deleted from the NEXUS-IBA schedule; so, that`s
that.

The Next Big Thing, which I had not heard yet, is on 9890, 19-24 UT
except Sundays 21-22 only, 250 kW, 170 degrees from Woofferton, about
Yoruba separatism in Nigeria. But Alan Roe was already hearing it this
Sunday June 13 at 1925. Now so I have I, African music and talk
mentioning Yoruba, at 1947; via UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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:

1100 UT Sunday Unique Radio NSW 3210-USB

** 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:

** 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.

** 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``

** 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:

``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
