** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Sat Apr 24 at 1407 I check my own
outside antenna for any trace of LRA36, but none as expected for 300
watts, which is however still a `good DX catch` a few thousand km away
at Brasil remotes. I do bring Pardinho up at 1459, and there it is,
S5-S7 with a chronology for Apr 24, evidently `this day in history`.
Lots of IDs ensue, bits of music, 1519 multi-contact info, 1520
``hasta la próxima``, Antártida theme song.

But restarting at 1523, ``a partir de este momento``, informal ID as
``Radio San Gabriel`` without the Arcángel title; telling us in
Spanish, German, English; and Korean? --- thought it ended with
``imnida`` --- that the broadcast is in: Spanish! and shortly same
announcement repeated. 1545 rock song in English; still past 1600 but
off at next check 1657.

On the remote`s waterfall, when tuned to reference frequency
15475.98-USB, the signal audio axually covers from 15476.20 to
15478.75 with sharp edges. I suspect interest in LRA36 has lagged as
no one else reports it today and so I don`t bother to remind everyone
of the regular Wed & Fri-only appearances (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9640, April 23 at 2236, surprise, RHC Spanish is here
ex-9650. 9640 had been in use last year until sudden switch to 9650,
and now the reverse; why? Still at 0136 April 24. 9650 had been in use
both morning and evening, so morning too on 9640? Yes, April 24 at
1334 check, S9 but undermodulated.

This is good news for Guinea, which could run 18 hours a day on its
only SW frequency 9650, tho has been quite irregular, as Carlos
Gonçalves, Portugal also notes. Let`s look at what else RHC confront
on each per Aoki, without great detail:

9650: Guinea, Taiwan, Sa`udi Arabia, Korea North
9640: CRI Spanish via East Turkistan until 2300; Korea South from
1530, Iran from 1550; should RHC be on that late but was only 11-15 &
21-05 on 9650; so 9640 is mostly clearer.

I`m fairly sure RHC did not QSY because of the local unID device I
have producing weak carriers every 50 kHz between ~7 and 15 MHz; with
BFO they are just a smidgin less than 50.000 kHz apart, offset pitch
ascending as I step up MHz by MHz; ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, April 24 at 0145, RHC Spanish is JBM and suptorted,
with much weaker parasites on 11840 & 11860; the latter also with
irregular beeps at a slow rate out of conflicting residual Cuban
jammer. The spur carrier makes them audible without BFO, beating
against it. 0213 recheck, still spurs, no beeps. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, April 24 at 0207, RHC Spanish undermodulated, talk
sounds the same as on 5025 Rebelde, a live event? But not // tho could
be same out of synch; but soon audio diverges completely. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, April 24 at 0410, RHC S9+10/20 suptorted in Spanish,
tho supposedly does not start until 0500 English. 6060 is also
undermod S9 Spanish; and 5040 Spanish; while English is at least on
6000 & 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [non]. 17545v, April 24 at 1531, I`m trying to detect Bayto
Yiakl, the American-based clandestine scheduled via RMI via FRANCE Wed
& Sat at 1530-1600 during B-season, but is it still there in A-season?
No remotes very close to target, and no signal to Kuwait, India,
Iceland, Brasil; and RSA is blocked.

But UTwente is getting a trace, despite being way too close to France
in skip zone. And it`s off-frequency as originally noted here:
17544.95971 at first and by 1537 Synch reading 17544.96728. No ID or
even audio of course, but if anything is there, this should be it.
Hope it does better to Eritrea! Greece remote also gets a JBA carrier,
not even enough to lock onto. Gone from UTw by 1606 check. BTW not a
single member of the WOR iog replied to my advance request, to check
this out on Wed Apr 21; as I had to be away from radio then (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Apr 23 at 0601, no signal from RNZI, nor any
carriers on 15720, 13840 or 13730; tho Vanuatu 11835 is audible. So
where is NZ? Maybe unpropagable higher frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, April 23 at 0552, big S9+10/20 open carrier, as
VON is back here warming up; 0557 recheck in great IS of African
percussion and winds; 0600 sign-on in Hausa with two words understood,
``Nigeria`` and ``kilohertz`` --- I wonder if they announce this
frequency when really on 11769.9+? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat Apr 24 at 0118, pirate music S9-S7,
no doubt Ball Smacker Radio again fulfilling its regular schedule of 7
pm MDT Fridays. Yes, 0143 YL ID about this time, and concluding with
ten-pins crash noise. S9/+10 but really too much storm noise around
here; in fact, I have just switched to the indoor-longwire to avoid
lightning, and R75 stays on it rest of evening for logs thru 0410.
Many more logs here including detailed playlist until 0224*:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,80643.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-USB, recheck for BSR at 0243 April 24, pirate
music but now on USB so different station; too much storm noise to
stay with it, but these say it`s Voice of Alice (Cooper):
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,80649.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 4752.47v, April 23 at 2357 via Bonaire SDR, R. Huanta Dos Mil
is still here, SAM offset varying .467 to .472. Instead of cutting off
circa 0030 as before, at rechex 0030, 0045 and 0100+ still going, vs
CODAR.

It`s not audible via the occasionally active Bogotá SDR, where I`m
also checking for the Colombian pirate on 6016+, active only on
weekends, but not yet heard on either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. While confined to indoor antennas due to
storms, I`ve reactivated my Sony ICF SW07 with active antenna in a
south-facing window, April 24 after 0300 UT, first finding dead air on
5950 WRMI while other frequencies such as 5800 are OK.

At 0408, 5950 with S9+10 of dead air; also 5850, then bursts of non-BS
but TOM audio on and off on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 23 at 2015, REE NAm frequency is VP S2-S4,
while ME channel 15520 off the back is S1-S4, so that`s no help.
Friday token English at 2202: 17855 now S9/+10 but soon fading down;
15520 S9-S7; 11940 S9+10/S7 the S American frequency is best.

After news review, 2203 something about a music project in El Salvador
involving `El Sistema` as in Venezuela, and the native Nahuatl
language, which I thought was in México, or more correctly, they say,
Nahuat, without the -l -- I assume from only hearing it, not seeing it
spelt. Guest was Sonia Mejía; 2226 finally plays a bit of the music.
2230 check of 17855 finds it still poorly audible (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 23 at 2202, no signal from VOT direct, only
RTTY. However, at 2230 check, RTTY is off and VOT English is on, but
JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7602-USB, April 24 at 0113, sounds like a Civil Air Patrol
net, mainly person with high-pitched voice, either woman or child. Not
her? but some replies conclude with a beep. Keeps making contacts
spelling out fonetikally secret messages, but trouble copying each
other, asking for relays, etc. Extremely rigid para-military format.
0115 announces time as 0115 zulu; correct. Difficult copy here past
0124, due to weak signals, high storm noise level, and indoor antenna.
But:

7615-USB, April 24 at 0125, I encounter the known CAP net, generally
stronger, closer? signals, and one of them sounds like the same
woman/child just heard on 7602-USB. Keeps referring to YX, presumably
this net designator. Some of the tactical calls mentioned, either
callers or callees, not necessarily spelt right: Light Speed 41; Blue
Skies 52; Skyline 32; Rattlesnake 42; Fast Runner 37 & 31. Mentioned
QSY to NNC, which must be secret name of another frequency; Silver
something 34 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2083 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 23 at 2030 on Challenger Radio, 594 kHz, Villa Estense, Italy,
as heard via nearby Noale KiwiSDR. Some program from Canada was cut
off by 2029 for IRRS ID and WOR start on time.

While I`m listening on line, also bring up WOR 2083 webcast via World
FM, NZ, and hear it ending at 2035 followed by ID in French! and
Spanish music, so WOR on time from 2006 UT Friday.

Also confirmed Sat Apr 24 at 1328, tail of 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA on
indoor wire, but SWRG a few minutes later plenty beepery via outside
antenna.

Also confirmed Sat Apr 24 from 1800:50 on IRRS Bulgaria? via UTwente,
S9+15/25; with annoying skipping on this SDR, but none such when tuned
via Carlow, Eire Kiwi, S9/+10. Earlier, 7290 cut on at 1759:48, with
Aïda theme already in progress, but haven`t heard it at all for a few
weeks with late joins. 1800:27 IRRS brief s/on only, no FSN headlines,
some dead air until WOR start 23 seconds later. Then time for my lunch
of a traditional breakfast, and recheck 1828 just in time to hear WOR
ending clearly after 1829; IRRS ID asking for reports by p-mail for a
numbered QSL; and into gospel music. Note: real times may have been a
few seconds earlier considering internet delay.

WOR 2083 also confirmed Sat Apr 24 from 1959:17 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM,
MO, via nearby KB0FX remote, almost 30 minutes late. Sorry, there are
now no SW times on NAm Sat afternoon or evening. Next:

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Apr 24 from 0000, WBCQ webcast with
`AAAWWW`: I only dip in and out occasionally, as whenever I do, Angela
is yelling about something, such as calling George Floyd a thug and
that Chauvin should not have been convicted of murder. This is really
repellant, except to those of like mind.

Allan sounds reasonable by comparison, but not really: again he makes
no distinxion between socialism and communism (and Democrats), i.e.
Democratic Socialism as successfully practiced in western Europe, vs
Commie dictatorships. Of course that indistinxion we may blame on the
CCCP by its very name, giving socialism a bad name for sesquidecades.
Allan also mentions that he`s tired and thinking of retiring, turning
the operation over to Angela. At 0045 says it`s on both 6160 and 7490;
0052 into email. Somewhat more detail from John Carver:

``Tonight's show started on time on both 6160 and 7490 with 7490
having the better signal. The het appeared about a minute after the
top of the hour on 6160. Allan and Angela in the studio. Allan is
feeling a little under the weather this evening and did some coughing
and sneezing during the show. Allan and Angela talking amongst
themselves for a bit. Allan stated that he and Angela had done some
sight seeing in Fla today. Into politics within fifteen minutes. Anti
taxes, anti stimulus checks, anti toll roads etc. This writer will not
repeat what was said but Angela then jumped in and started talking
about George Floyd. Allan didn't want to talk about it but got drawn
in. A lot of raised voice as Angela got worked up into her rant about
almost everything.

Phone call at 0032 pours more gas on the fire and also brought up many
more conspiracy theories that hadn't been in the mix earlier. Call
lasted for eight minutes and did nothing to calm Angela down.

Reading of emails at 0052 with most of the emails supporting Angela.
Things flare up again during the reading of emails. Closing prayer at
0059 into music at 0100 and then into Hal Turner. John, Mid-North
Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Apr 24 at 0249, NO signal from 500 kW WLCR/WBCQ. Got
to be OFF, since 9265 WINB is still well audible (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9265V, Apr 24 at 0249, WINB is S7-S9 with SWRG beepery; 0359
still on later than usual? with `Battle Hymn of the Republic`,
unmarred, and then 0401 the merely secular `Star Spangled Banner` is
treated as produxion music behind WINB sign-off, rather than Our
National Anthem, to be played with respect.

But does not get 9265 turned off or at least silenced, before another
program start `Back to Calvary` for a few seconds after 0402, then
off. I guess it continue on webcast. No sked for that but B2C is
supposedly at 9 pm EDT Fri = 01 UT Sat. America`s oldest private SW
station still doesn`t have its basic act together.

Schedule still dated March 14 shows `Worship at Home` nightly except
UT Sundays from 0300 - so it must be an hour long, but sign-off times
or length of final show are never given (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Apr 23 at 0601, R. Vanuatu with YL in presumed
Bislama, S4-S5, as fundamental 3945 must have just come on. If this
make it, NZ fundamental 11725 should too, but AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report despatched at 2135 UT April 24

** CHINA. 9480, April 22 before and after 1830, S6-S3 in French, i.e.
CRI at 18-20 via Xianyang 59 site in north central China, of all
places, 500 kW, 317 degrees toward France. VP reception today, hardly
anything else extracontinental on any band except 13670 Madagascar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, April 22 at 0446 past 0506 UT and later, dead air
from KOSU instead of `The Spy`; everyone asleep depending on
automation? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SUDAN [and non]. 7205, April 23 at 0301, S8-S9 open carrier, surely
Sudan Radio, Omdurman; someham pretends to be AM by tuning his
LSB-only signal here, but no QRM on USB. At prime time in the morning,
also JBA carriers on 7180 > 7140 presumed VOBMEritreans. By 0328 maybe
trace of music. 0342 I switch to UTwente SDR in Holland, where 7205 is
S9 but clearly barely modulated, occasional talkwords peaking, 0345
bit of music. WRTH says irr. from *0300; Eibi says from *0257; Aoki
from *0200. At 0350 & 0356, I JB hear some Horn-of-Africash music. A
4+1 timesignal at 0400 cuts thru, 11 seconds late. Don`t rely on this
for navigation! Then some mumbletalk, news in Arabic? I daresay even
nearby one would have to turn the volume up full and hope for the
best. Dumps off air abruptly at 0405:15*. I switch to offset BFO to
hear any carrier come back, which it finally does at *0423,
again/still, JBM. I must also say, the FPU stations do a much better
job of broadcasting to Sudans from outside. Manuel Mendez, Spain,
hears 7205 in his evenings, and also the external service grandiosely
appelled ``Voice of Africa`` on 9505 going from French to English at
1715. I wonder if that modulation be any better (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2082 monitoring: a delayed report
from Ken Zichi, Michigan about Saturday April 17 at 1300: ``15770 WRMI

First broadcasts confirmed UT Friday April 23 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850
VG direct, and good S7-S9 even in wrong direxion to Bonaire SDR; 7780,
S9/+20 into UTwente SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0457 UT April 23

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.97-RCUSB, April 21 at 1430, LRA36 confirmed on
this Wednesday in quick check via Brasil SDR with good signal, but I
don`t have time to keep listening. Likely to repeat on Saturday.

I should apply for a new eQSL as have been going out for previous
emissions, e.g. to Manuel Méndez: ``In the email they added the names
of the LRA 36 team for the 2021 year:

"BUENOS DIAS NOS COMPLACE SU ESCUCHA SALUDOS
EQUIPO DE ESTA DOTACION:
OPERACION TECNICA: SARGENTO ALEJANDRO CAMINO
LOCUTORA: TENIENTE PRIMERO ESTEFANIA PEREZ
LOCUTOR: CAPITAN MAXIMILIANO LUNA

ESTAMOS AL AIRE LOS MISMOS DIA Y HORARIO DEL AÑO PSADO DESDE YA MUCHAS
GRACIAS."

Reception report sent to:
esperanzalra36@radionacional.gov.ar
_._,_._,_``

Note they all hold military ranx. QSL says 300 watts to a rhombic
antenna. WRTH 2021 page 463 says, ``1 x 1 kW, 1 x 10 kW. The 10 kW
(when in use) is operated at around 1.2-1.5 kW`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 1040, April 21 at 0613, Cuban-style discussion mentioning
Guantánamo, with WHO nulled, so assumed is the only CM on 1040: CMCL,
10 kW, Radio Mayabeque, Güines, Mayabeque. Mayabeque is a rather
obscure province just east and south of Habana between it and Matanzas
[killings]; in fact it did not exist until 2011:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayabeque_Province
but that does not explain, why? Güines is just east of the major SW
site Quivicán; and Bejucal is north of there on the Habana province
boundary (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 720, April 21 at 0602, Cuban-style music with WGN nulled,
but then Meximusic and full legal ID for XEDE, or rather XHDE 105.7 y
720, Kaliente, KFM, 25 kW en Saltillo, Coahuila; makes 5.6 Hz SAH with
WGN except when they be exactly mutually nulled. XE NA would have
erupted an hour earlier in the CDT zone, UT -5 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855 & 15520, April 21 at 2224, zero signals from REE token
English on Wednesday; algo JBA on 11940, JBA carrier on 11685, no
RTTY. Conflicting reports earlier whether 17855 for N America was on
the air during silly ballgame, but Wolfgang Bueschel says it was
making it to Bonaire (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9840, April 21 at 1815, JBA music, attrax my attention as
was a frequency of WHRI, believed to be defunct. But scheduled
1730-1830 is VOT in German --- its real hour rather than more often
heard 9830 overrun after 2300; 5960 after 0000 in B-seasons.

9830, Apr 21 at 2223, trace of TRT at S7 = noise level, no RTTY (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2082 monitoring: unchecked here Wed Apr 21 at
1030 on WRMI 5850; anyone hear it?

Confirmed Wed Apr 21 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, noisy S7-S8 to VA SDR; not
to UTwente but intermittent strong chirpbursts. Also confirmed 21
seconds behind on WBCQ 7490-, S5-S7 to KB0FX with offset -33 Hz, while
to Alexandria VA it`s -45 Hz - so there we have a margin of error via
two different Kiwis. later at KB0FX it`s -25 Hz.

Also confirmed Wed Apr 21 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, by 2220 check direct
is S9+20 with no jamming audible. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 920, April 21 at 0610 UT, George Noury giving personalized
ID for KVEL 104.5 & 920, as C2CAM then resumes with a silly
numerologist. KVEL is in Vernal, NE UT, U2 5/1 kW, but night pattern
is to the NE, ~nil thisaway*. It`s as strong as dominator KYFR
Shenandoah in SW IA, mutually nullable, NW vs NE. KYFR does have a
tight nightlobe aimed thisaway*.

Therefore suspect KVEL be on ND day pattern if not also day power.
I`ve heard it before with same suspicions, but not lately. 104.5 is,
you guessed it? A mere translator, K283BN. Note to E2L editors:
``thisaway`` is slang, not separable into this and away. Likewise its
antonym, thataway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1329+, April 21 circa 0600 UT, nothing of the unID het noted
24h ago; but the two major off-frequencies are still audible, 1319.7
from North Carolina, and stronger 1540.2 from Georgia. These stick out
during a full MW bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 2343 UT April 21

** CHINA [non]. 9790, April 20 at 0341, CRI English relay via CUBA was
absent when checked several days ago but certainly on now with VG
signal and playing, incredibly, John Denver, ``WV - Country Roads``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, April 20 at 0141, RHC Spanish with humbuzz like heard
after 0500 on 6060; same transmitter likely. Wolfgang Bueschel
describes it April 20: ``6060even RHC Bauta in English 6100 kHz.
TERRIBLE BUZZ tone signal, like a garden fence seen, either sideband
symmetrical 13 x 120 Hertz distance apart tone strings. S=7-8 or
-84dBm fair signal strength only in WeUS and Alberta-CAN. 0641 UT.``

11850, April 20 at 0141, RHC is S9+10 but JBM in Spanish. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, still off, but received this update that they are
working on repairing the transmitter:

``Transmisor de Radio Verdad, Apr 20 at 4:41 AM, Informamos a los
oyentes de Radio Verdad que casi todo este día lunes trabajamos
tratando de reparar el transmisor de Radio Verdad. Logramos hacerle
varias reparaciones importantes, con la ayuda de los Ingenieros Jhaír
Ramírez y Rafael Borthwick de Canadá, pero no logramos sacarlo al aire
todavía. Seguiremos trabajando intensamente hasta lograrlo.
Agradeceremos sus oraciones. Que Dios les bendiga y guarde con buena
salud. Dr. Édgar Amílcar Madrid, Director y Gerente General, Estación
Educativa Evangélica, Radio Verdad`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [and non]. Correxion: in this item I should have said
*before* which, not after which --- fixed:

7290, Monday April 19 at 1758, I`m checking IRRS via UTwente SDR to
see how it`s doing in the timeslot from which WOR was bumped to
Saturday. Weak carrier seems to be on, but CNR is still audible past
1802, when I conclude IRRS is not on at all. It does cut on at
*1807:26, before which the new program must have long begun. No
modulation audible until weakly at 1811:06, undermodulated talk. So
the startup situation at this secret site is worse than ever... (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, April 20 at 0148, pirate hard rock music
S5-S8, 0152 DJ talk over music, sounds like ``Yes, I Am Radio`` and
something about country, fake Russian accent. Other logs of it:

Big Badfish Al, Central Pennsylvania: ``I AM RADIO 6933.13 USB 0112
UTC 20 April 2021 « on: Today at 01:15 » SINPO: 24222 - heard mixing
into Sycko Radio. 0112 - I AM RADIO something about wicker basket for
Frank Bali repeated over and over.``

refmo, Northeast Kentucky: ``Re: UNID 6933 USB 2319 UTC 19 Apr 2021
« Reply #7 on: Today at 00:10 »
S5 @ 0010 with something slightly resembling music.
0024 - Shazam says " Mr. Wobble Drop Killa" Ganja White Night
0105 - still the same station?? "We Are" by Thousand Foot Krutch
0109 - OM with Russian accent saying 'here is I am Radio'
0112 - OM again with ' I come to country in wicker basket across
ocean', over a Tool tune``

** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-AM, April 20 at 0149, JBA talk S4-S5, probably
the Fox News Channel relay as IDed before; 0220 S7-S9 but only equal
to noise level, undermodulated. 0536 still JBA carrier. Strangely, no
logs now or recently of this in HFU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.9-AM, April 20 at 2217, JBA carrier, smax of a
pirate. Per HFUnderground, R Free Euphoria was on 6925.30 until 2201*;
but yesterday on 6924.9-AM was another unID until 2305* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re report about the OKC bombing, correxion, it was 26,
not 36 years go (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 20 at 2215, JBA carrier from REE failing to
reach deep N America when it would have been in English if this were
not a day starting with T or S; 15520 slightly better, BA carrier;
11940 S9-S6 would have to serve offside from S America beam (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 20 at 2215, zero signal from VOT English to N
America even tho there is no signal either from the RTTY. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18157.5-USB, April 20 at 1834, W3FF in the ``17-meter
activity group``, and QSYing too check 21283 for 5 minutes. So do I,
and do hear a K4STU calling a W6, nothing more, the OSOB. Nothing yet
on the 10m beacon-band 28.2+ MHz. QRZ.com:

W3FF USA flag USA, BUDD L DRUMMOND, REDDING, CA 96002 USA

I was wondering why he mentioned Redding several times.

``Hello from Northern California --- Budd here. Watch for me almost
every day at 1745 UT on 18157.5 kHz. Free signal reports from Northern
California. At about 1830, we move up to 21280 + or - QRM to promote
activity on 15 Meters. These are the Activity Groups. There is no roll
call. If you hear one of the many stations on frequency, simply break
in with your call sign, and you will be most welcome to see if any of
the dozens of stations on frequency daily can hear you from your
location. WE HAVE CORE STATIONS LISTENING FOR CALLERS.``

UNIDENTIFIED. 1329.030 kHz, April 20 at 0556 UT, almost-1-kHz het
below 1330.0 stations, measured here. Nothing anywhere nearly that low
in mwoffsets. Not, of course, a region 1/3 9-kHz channel. Fades a bit
so unseems local device (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6070-, April 19 at 0521, CFRX is on and good with talkshow,
tho missing a few hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, April 19 at 0521, RHC English resuming the humbuzz
which on 49m infests this frequency only, but not always. Ho hum,
something`s always wrong at RHC but this time I don`t bother to
compare to the rest (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13767 & 13633 approx., Apr 19 at 1356, weak spurblobs out of
13700-AM RHC but no program audio, just some F# tone; second-orders 2
x 67 kHz intervals are barely detectable circa 13567, 13833.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, April 19 at 2201, S9-S7 of dead air from RHC; 15370
achieves S9/+20 of a discurso naming names, presumably good Commies,
applause after each. 11950 is also dead air at 2211, S7/9+10. 11760
also with discurso, only S5-S8 with hum. 11850 missing so I hear
something else: see GERMANY [non]. Somethings` always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9880, April 19 at 2218, S6-S9 with flutter in
stilted Spanish? No, scheduled as Esperanto from CRI to S America via
Kashgar, land of ChiCom imperialist persecution and genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 11850, April 19 at 2211, checking for RHC but it`s
absent, instead the Deutsche Welle IS! How forlorn, brothers seeking
brothers past 2224 with no response, let alone schwisters. VP signal
S3-S0 with flutter, but unmistakable. 11850 happens to be a DW
frequency for three daily broadcasts in Hausa, one ending at 1900, the
next not until 0630. One thing for sure, if it`s DW, it can`t be
transmitted from Germany`s last major SW site, Nauen; these are
scheduled via ISSoudun where maybe they forgot to turn it off 3+ hours
ago? Or QRX for latest flap about Euro football? Or maybe a very late
silly ball game after midnight, which seems to be the main purpose of
one of two languages remaining from DW on KW; the other? Amharic
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [and non]. 7290, Monday April 19 at 1758, I`m checking IRRS
via UTwente SDR to see how it`s doing in the timeslot from which WOR
was bumped to Saturday. Weak carrier seems to be on, but CNR is still
audible past 1802, when I conclude IRRS is not on at all. It does cut
on at *1807:26, after which the new program must have long begun. No
modulation audible until weakly at 1811:06, undermodulated talk. So
the startup situation at this secret site is worse than ever.

IRRS sked now shows for Monday 2000-2100 CET: ``EGR - Gospel4Grampian
Radio``, per its own website, outgrowth of a mere podcast. Grampian is
a region in NE Scotland around Aberdeen. Occupies the whole hour, so
Shortwave Report is also replaced. By 1833 recheck, modulation has
improved to readable, if one cared to.

Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS assures me that the schedule has been fixed
so WOR will appear: Fri 2030 UT on 594+webcast; Sat 1801 on 7290, 594
and webcast; Sat 2334 on webcast only; and presumably still Sunday
2000 on 594+webcast as I confirmed April 18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. April 19 is the 36th anniversary of the domestic
terrorist bombing of OKC; as always, the local TV stations are
covering the commemoration ceremony live from the Memorial, but I find
that KOSU is running its own documentary, from 6 years ago:

``That April Morning: The Oklahoma City Bombing
By KGOU & KOSU & THE OKLAHOMA PUBLIC MEDIA EXCHANGE • APR 17, 2015
The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum
BRIAN HARDZINSKI / KGOU
53:00 Listen to KGOU and KOSU's documentary "That April Morning: The
Oklahoma City Bombing." [or read script with sound bites]

The bomb that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in
downtown Oklahoma City killed 168 people - including 19 children. It
injured hundreds more, and forever shaped the community.

April 19, 1995 started as an idyllic spring morning - clear skies,
calm winds - better than most Wednesdays during the state’s
usually-turbulent severe weather season. Nothing seemed out of the
ordinary. Workers showed up to their jobs, and went about their
regular routines. That all changed at 9:02 a.m...``

** SPAIN. 17855, April 19 circa 2125 via NA5B KiwiSDR in Maryland, REE
audible but less than S9, while 15520 & 11940 tho not for us, are much
better S9. K-index is 4.

By token English, Monday at 2200, a general news review in some
detail, direct to here, 17855 & 15520 are totally inaudible; 11940
fair S8-S3 with splash from 11930 OCB, and 11685 also audible vs RTTY
from 11687.5 NAU Puerto Rico (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 19 at 2200, with K-index of 4, trace of VOT on
the air but totally buried under S9+20 of RTTY from NSS, and notching
cannot help (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ZAMBIA. 5915, April 19 at 0518, weak music with no QRM; could it be
ZNBC Radio 1 this late? Yes, barely, Lusaka LSR was 0415, and nothing
else scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
