Hauser
** CUBA. 11850, April 16 at 0108, RHC Spanish is sup-torted, while
11760 is merely under-modulated; 11670 is off; but 13740 is VG and the
OSOB. Something`s always wrong at RHC. At least, neither 11850 nor
13740 is in English tonight like before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9465-9505, April 16 at 0113, jamming against 9490 is
splattering plus/minus 15 kHz; but on 9490 itself, R. República via
RMI via FRANCE is overcoming it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, April 16 at 0250, RHC English is JBM here, much louder
on 6000, with COVID-19 advisory. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-AM, April 16 at 0120, emphatic talk at S6-S7,
probably the pirate relay of Fox News Channel, but not synchronized
and can`t stand to watch Cable 48 more than a few seconds at a time,
during Hannity. By 0128 is too weak anyway but still on past 0203.
Strangely, no reports of this at HFU, like the last time I heard it
after 0600. There is a report of it at FRN:
http://www.frn.net/vines/read.php?5,8924,8924#msg-8924
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, April 16 at 0121, hard talk/rock, maybe in
a loop, deliberately distorted with hard background noise. Then
slightly more intelligible dialog, 0127 song. Off at 0203 recheck.
Other reports of this mashup:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,80341.0.html
Maybe Big Badfish Al in Central Pennsylvania explain it?:
``Captain Black Baerd Radio/Sycko R. 5130 USB was 6935 USB 0115
UTC 16 April 2021, SIO: 444 in CT. 0125 - A mixture of radio stations
overdub and some electric. Thank you Captain Blackbeard and DJ Sycko
for relaying his station`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW kHz, April 16 at 0244 UT, Enid`s NDB, EI, is gone
again. Algo JBA probably DNI and/or OIN. Latest reactivation of EI was
only April 14 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 15 at 1805 & 1825, no signal from REE N
American overfrequency, not propagating? No, I think it`s OFF, since
neighboring FRANCE manages a JBA carrier on neighboring 17850. But
Spain`s 15520 & 11920 are only JBA carriers. Richard Langley, NB, also
thinx 17855 was off today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, April 16 at 0117, WRNO is S9+20 of dead air. Next

Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** CUBA. 6060, April 15 at 0627, RHC English with bigbuzz; 6100 & 6165
OK; 6000 & 5040 off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13420 vs RTTY, 13490, 13560 vs local Part 15 ISM pulsing,
13630; 13770, 13840, 13909, 13979-trace, April 15 at 1412, FMish
spurblobs with F# tone at ~70 kHz intervals, out of RHC 13700-AM which
is only S9-S7 and undermodulated during `Sonido Cubano` music. Not in
the order tuned. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, April 15 at 0600 UT, JBA carrier
again tonight, presumed R. Kiribati, Xmas Island; no TA carriers, but
another on 1098, likely another TP, Marshall Islands (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341-MCW kHz, April 15 at 0610 UT, Enid NDB EI
is still on, alternating nicely with OIN Oberlin KS; almost same
periods but eventually will overlap (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 4752.468v, April 15 at 0024, R. Huanta 2000 presumed, again
tonight within 4 Hz of where it was SDR SAM-measured last night, via
TWR KiwiSDR, Boa Vista, Brasil, S8-S9 but VP unreadable, so with BFO I
just listen for the carrier to drop, which it does at 0028* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 305-MCW kHz, April 15 at 0604 UT, NDBeacon RO, which is 150
watts from Roswell NM; I was tuned to 303-USB. Seldom heard, last
logged even later on Feb 19. Earlier tonight also had RYN Tucson on
338 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2081 monitoring: confirmed final repeat,
UT Thu Apr 15 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9/+10
into Bonaire SDR.

NEW WOR 2082 should be ready by early UT Fri Apr 16 for first
broadcasts on WRMIs 5850 to NW and 7780 to NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Chris Gay, KU4A, notified the WOR iogroup at 0117 UT April
15: ``840, WHAS's Facebook page says they will go off the air at 11 PM
EDT tonight (0300 UTC 15 April) for "several hours" of maintenance. A
great chance to DX the frequency, especially for people like me who
are only 80 miles from their transmitter.``

An amplified compendium of my replies:

At 0301, WHAS still on with ABC news, 0302-0304+ own news; heavy 5 Hz
SAH from KVJY, normally audible with WHAS nulled. Night pattern with 1
kW is supposedly fat cardioid toward SW, protecting WHAS to NE, and
with very little signal due north toward me:
https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=64629

Well, WHAS still haven`t gone off by 0321 UT. O, just cut off rudely
at 0323 uncovering KVJY Spanish praise music. What else? CMHW Cuba
should be heard.

At 0330, KVJY ID as ``R. Aléluya, 1600 Pasadena Blvd., Pasadena,
Tejas``.

With WHAS off, 1.6 Hz SAH between KVJY and something.
Streaming linx for comparison

https://radioaleluya.org/
https://www.cmhw.cu/

Listening to CMHW webcast, ``s/off`` and Cuban NA by 0400 -- but
continues with ``W Santa Clara, en el centro de Cuba`` --- and
``informativo de CMHW...``

The major other UStation on 840 is news/talk KXNT Las Vegas NV, 25 kW
but major lobes to north and SSW.

At 0400, KVJY, Pharr, Texas, brief legal ID in English. Pharr is far
from Houston, but apparently programmed from HQ. Webpage has listen
linx to it and 3 other sibling stations, so not simulcasting?

And WHAS, 5 Hz SAH cut back on by *0416. Off again by 0422*. WHAS on
again for a few seconds at *0424 - etc., etc.? Not listening closely
after that, but WHAS back on to stay by 0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 11835, April 15 at 0626, 3 x 3945 R. Vanuatu
with talk in Bislama, S5-S6 better than usual; also JBA on 7890 = 2 x
3945. No sign of co-channel China on 11835. At 0632, NZ inbooming
S9+10/20 on 11725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2182-USB, April 15 at 0613 UT, YL making a call, no
reply heard. I bandscan across here every night, but hardly ever hear
anything on this once-major calling/distress channel. Must stop and
sit on it for longtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 800 kHz, April 14 at 0606 UT, after hearing
Mexican NA probably XEROK, where it`s ``midnight``, English talkshow
giving phone 1-800-675-1010. Most likely CKLW Windsor, easily dominant
here despite KQCV and the other 800s at night; so suspect with a
network program originating at 1010 CFRB, Toronto. Anyone confirm?
Reverse phone lookups are extremely unhelpful. Both are now iHeart
stations with same show `Power Play` at 2 am, but websites show
different call-in numbers. There are 5 other Canadians on 800, the
others not listed as news/talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 14 at 0552, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30, just barely
modulated, minuscule improvement since my last check at 0109 of a
trace. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13912, 13841, 13771; 13629, 13559, 13489, 13418, 13348,
13268-trace, all wide and approx., April 14 at 1317, spurblobs out of
13700-AM RHC, with F# tones and in FM quiet audio on the closer ones,
approx 70-71 kHz intervals.

13981-trace, 13911, 13841, 13770; 13630, 13560, 13490, 13420,
13279-trace, April 14 at 1353, another survey finds them slightly
different averaging closer to 70 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, April 14 at 2223, this RHC is off while it should have
been in French; while 11950 is on early? By 2315-2317, 11880 is on
during English, merely S9, undermodulated during North American
weather outlook but fade down when name of Chief Meteorologist is
outroed. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, April 14 at 0602, JBA carrier, in bandscan
going up from 531 kHz, now too late to hear anything from Europe,
until I get to 1215; but not too early to hear R. Kiribati in the UT
+14 zone equivalent to UT -10 plus a day. Really no other possibility
so I dare not to declare it unID tho I never get any audio (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW kHz, April 14 at 0558 UT, Enid`s one and only ND
beacon, EI, is reactivated at Woodring Airport, 25 watts. Checking for
it nightly, not heard since March 26, when it showed briefly after
another silence since March 15. Now mixing with OIN, Oberlin, Kansas.
EI still on, alone and reconfirmed in daytime 2128 UT April 14. For
how long this time? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 17614.986, April 14 at 1405, JBA carrier and also the
SSOB and OSOB, surely SRI/SBA, which used to be slightly offset to the
plus side, now varying more downward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 14 at 2058, REE is JBA S2, but axually improves
later, N American frequency both on the air and propagating this late
for the first time in the A-21 season. By 2157 it`s S7-S8 and better
than 15520 now which was S5 an hour ago. 11940 is S5-S7 as token
Wednesday English starts at 2200. 11685 for Africa, normally the
worst, is now S6-S8. Justin Coe introduces: feature after some news
will be about the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Second
Republic in 1931y; and concluding about Catalan composer Federico
Mompou. First news by Alison is doubling of COVID-19 cases in Spain
due to a fourth wave caused by eased restrixions for Holy Week {DUH!).
17855 down to S7 by 2207, some fadeouts to 2210. At 2211, 15520 a JBA
carrier; 2212 about República 2 underway as I find 11940 best. By
2214, 17855 is almost gone. We shall hear how well it hold up as more
and more insolation brighten the North Atlantic path over the next
bimonth, with 17855 starting out at ``midnight`` local time for
English. Probability of sporadic E boosting it into further F2
refraxions is also going up but unreliable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 14 at 2158, VOT IS vs RTTY, so is on today;
2205 during English news, careful `545 notching almost eliminates the
RTTY as variable bandwidth and passband also help audiblize it. But
TRT can hardly expect such capability at every receiver. Something`s
always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2081 monitoring: Richard Langley, NB,
confirms the 0230 UT Monday April 12 on WRMI 7780 but 5800 not
checked.

Confirmed here Wednesday April 14 at 2100 & 2200 the pileup of airings
late in the program week: at 2100, JBA on WRMI 7780; and ~20 seconds
later on WBCQ 7489.92v, S7-S8. Also confirmed at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9
peaks but fades vs jamming. Next, and last:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

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

UNIDENTIFIED. 4905, April 14 at 0553, JBA carrier vs CODAR. Normally
hear nothing, sometimes RTTY. Certainly not Tibet at midday there,
leaving R. Relógio Federal, Brasil, which is sometimes reported but
not by me. IIRC despite the legacy timesignal name, it`s gospel-huxter
programming, the only other known possibility; unless another ute
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANDORRA [non]. More info on the R. Andorra tribute via AUSTRIA,
April 12 at 1700-2045 UT I heard on 6180 via UTwente SDR:

``And the presentator will be Max Lafontaine, former announcer
(1970-1972). A nice souvenir for people who were in Andorra for EDXC
2019 (Christian Ghibaudo, France, BDXC-UK news April 10 via BC-DX)``

``RADIO ANDORRA HIT PARADE. For those who haven't been able to listen
to the Monday night special broadcast, There is a podcast.

(via Ghibaudo, April 13, BDXC-UK news)`` (via gh, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 11895, April 13 at 0608, Chinese at S9, as RFA is
scheduled 0300-0700 via SAIPAN. Don`t think it be jammer as nothing
else on 25mb, besides 11725 NZ; not even 11835 Vanuatu/China (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA

** CUBA. 6000, April 13 at 0559, RHC English is back on correct
frequency after stray to 5990 last night, now overpowering weak Mali
5995 properly from the plus side, as last hour repeat starts a bit
early into news already. Also on 6060 with some buzzes; 6100 with some
squeals; 6165 with some hum; and 5040 is off. Somethings` always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11980, April 14 at 0050. CRI English, S8 fading to S5 and
undermodulated, i.e. 2 x relay on 5990, confirmed by // on two
receivers. Someone else heard this recently but did not realize it
could be an harmonic, altho I have reported it a number of times
before. Not always audible, but something is always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 14 at 0109, R. Rebelde is S9+30 of dead air, or
with a trace of modulation? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, April 14 at 0113, surprise, RHC in English here,
supposedly only Spanish, S9+30 and better than // 6000 & 6165; and
it`s the 13 MHz OSOB. During weather outlook for all of North America,
including USA, Mexico, Central America, Cuba, temps in F&C, from
``Cuba`s Chief Meteorologist``, didn`t catch his name, who will be
back tomorrow. A new feature? Never encountered that before. Perhaps
trying to one-up Radio Martí, which has long provided Cuban weather
info from afar. But is English on 13740 another feed mixup, like when
once heard on 11850? (not now - still suptorted Spanish); an
experiment or an intentional summer improvement? Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU. Re my report of 4752: ``Looks like R. Huanta 2000. Website:
https://radiohuanta2000.com/ not as in WRTH with fm after
2000...``

Dr Hansjoerg Biener replies 13 April on the WOR iog: ``Peru: It is a
very difficult task to keep track of websites, e-mail addresses, phone
numbers etc. It seems that Huanta 2000 regained the rights for the
domain (note the copyright year 2021 for the design). According to my
files http://www.radiohuanta2000.com/ was used in 2016 but became
unavailable in 2017. It was then replaced by the domain
http://radiohuanta2000fm.com for about two years. In 2019 I noted that
the new "fm"-domain had expired, but I was unable to find any new
website``.

4752.464, hearing it again tonight via TWR KiwiSDRs Bonaire & Boa
Vista, Apr 13 from 2358 with music thru hourtop, mostly talk after
0009 April 14, S7 but unreadable with a lot of storm noise altho
Blitzortung shows very little lightning in northern S America, so
maybe from C America if not Oklahoma. Still past 0026 but gone at 0035
recheck; did not hear it cut off, but that was exactly when it did so
last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7420, April 14 at 0057, RRI with music not // 7375 IS, so
separate programming unlike all-English last time I heard them. But
something`s wrong with the 7420 transmitter: altho quite strong, the
signal level is pulsing, more obvious on S-meter if I attenuate it; at
same time as the frequency wobbles slightly, revealed by BFO. 0100
break for RRI ID in Romanian, back to music but cuts off the air by
0101.5*. 7420 is Galbeni, supposed to run Romanian 0000-0157; 7375 is
Tsiganeshti, English until 0057, French as heard from 0100 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, Apr 14 at 0051, S Asian music from SLBC, VP S8-S5
with flutter both vertically and horizontally, i.e. signal level and
signal frequency, Doppler effect on trans-polar route. A few years ago
this started circa 0115 with mistimesignals I would track (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

3945 R Vanuatu, nor CNR2 as sked; suspect RV be absent, as still
getting Chinese on 11895 S9 from presumed Saipan (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205.038, April 13 at 2356, ROCV with dance music, S8-S9
via TWR Boa Vista, Brasil SDR, distorted but stronger than TWR Bonaire
was getting it, and now S5-S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7828-USB, April 14 at 0055, 2-way in Spanish, repeatedly
referring to Ecuador (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANDORRA [non]. 6180, R. Andorra tribute special via AUSTRIA,
continued from previous report starting at *1700 April 12:

Mostly unfamiliar pop songs in French, obviously from the 70s/80s. Tho
playlist includes half a dozen in English by big names, which I never
catch except for one I don`t recognize either, checking in
occasionally from 1730 to 2030. Also some long segments interviewing
DJ. Apparently a count-up rather than count-down, spoiler alert! Plays
leading songs in the Top 50 at first, and by 2000 UT working down into
the 40s, heading toward finale by 2045. At 2037, just in case, I check
it direct to here, but still too early, no signal (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, April 13 at 0254 UT, Canadian Coast Guard
robo-YL, not with marine weather but message about COVID-19 travel
restrixions against US vessels? entering Canadian waters. As usual,
hard to copy it clearly. Nothing on NL frequency 2598-USB now but
2749-USB would be VCS-21, one sesquikilowatt from Halifax starting at
0240; not listed as bilingual at dxinfocentre.com but switches to
robotic French at 0257.7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, April 13 at 0226, RHC is S8-S9, JBM so I can barely
decide it`s Spanish, instead of English which has shown here by
mistake before. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, S9+30, April 13 at 0233, and 6165, S9+20/30 both with
equally sufficient RHC English modulation for a change (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** PERU. Tnx to this tip on the WOR iog at 0017 UT April 13 from Lúcio
Otávio Bobrówiec, Brasil: ``Spanish talks on 4752 kHz seems a LA
station. 4764, Huanta 2000 silent for some 3 weeks. Congratulations
Glen! 73 Lucio, Brasil`` ---

Got it immediately at 0030 via Bonaire SDR on 4752.15 - Spanish with
reverb, live remote? Promoting a ``Casa de Campesinos``, --- ``aquí en
Perú`` --- with phone 940-99-77-28. Brief song, then mentions
Huamanga, another phone 996+. 0035 suddenly off leaving CODAR. Not on
4764 either. Looks like R. Huanta 2000. Website is:
https://radiohuanta2000.com/
not as in WRTH with fm after 2000. Audio en Vivo does not work. On
page are other phones starting with 933, 960. Tuned around but not
found on 4747 or elsewhere - just 4775 Tarma, and horrible spurs from
4765 Cuba about 4783 and 4747 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11940, Monday April 12 at 2203, REE token English underway,
best here on SAm frequency as 17855 to NAm is not propagating at all,
or equally likely, off. 15520 JBA; 11685 is second best with no RTTY.
Alison Hughes with a few news stories: elexion in Ecuador with large
showing by indigenous write-in candidate; Israeli cyberattack on Iran
nuclear; Yemen vs Sa`udi Arabia; Myanmar; Gagarin in space
anniversary. Then another YL with feature on ``magical trio`` of art
musea in Madrid. By now 11940 is fading down; if NAm were still on
9690 it would remain loud & clear. 2224 Justin Coe concludes with a
Blues concert, something new in Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 12 at 2202, no RTTY to bother VOT in English,
but still no good, undermodulated on S9/S6 signal. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205.039v, April 13 at 0138, ROCV, poor only noisy S6-S7
into TWR Bonaire SDR, romantic music with loud noise bursts every few
seconds, which seem to be transmission or feed defect rather than QRM.
0143.5 Morse code ID cuts thru but barely readable talk including
``R-O-C-V``, back to vocal music. Still the same past 0208.

At 0235 I check 6205 direct to here: as usual ROCV achieves no more
than a JBA carrier --- but the noise bursts hit S8, *much* stronger
now, as loud as they were in Bonaire, while ROCV can`t surpass the
background noise level of S2-3. Therefore the bursts *are* external
QRM against poor ROCV, not its own defect. Further, I can now tell
that the noise is on LSB only, inaudible in USB.

At 0310, Bonaire is still running as I hear another ROCV ID in code
and voice go by, continuing VP with the noise bursts, also LSB only.
Maybe time for another QSY? Has ROCV been off? Last report of it I
find was April 4 by Manuel Méndez, Spain. I had not sought it lately;
my last log was April 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0348 UT April 13
