** ALBANIA [non]. 15770, April 14 at 2030, I make a point of
monitoring WRMI, good enough via an eastern US SDR, but not making it
to the substitute receiver at UTwente. Because it`s time for Radio
Tirana relay, reported recently to be partly or wholly music fill,
leading us to suspect the automated recording of the English service
is grabbing it at the wrong UT since DST started in Europe more than a
biweek ago. But now we get it:

2030, Radio Tirana IS, theme and canned sign-on in English, Klara
always claiming they can only be heard on internet, and pronouncing
the URL incomprehensibly in English. And into news by other announcer,
seemingly current with latest COVID-19 statistics and little else
until 2038 cut abruptly to music fill, obviously not Albanian, but
from WRMI`s World Music reel starting with a hymn at a tropical beat.
2041 pause for WRMI ID in Spanish! by Alfonso Montealegre, my old
colleague from Radio Enlace on Radio Nederland.

On the Hitlist, http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm --- I go looking for
what`s up at Radio Tirana.

http://rti.rtsh.al/radio/

``Emisioni ne gjuhёn --- Orari Ditёt Transmetimi Angleze
18:00-18:30
22:00-22:30
00:00-00:30
03:30-04:00
08:00-08.30
10:30-11:00
13:30-14:00``

Those are no doubt in local time of UT +2, the original at 16 UT and 6
repeats on the ``live`` webcast.

``Kontakt:`` gives us spelling of the announcers, with c-cedillas:
English: english@rtsh.al — Klara Ruçi, Ervin Çali

Then I check the podcasts via
http://www.radio360.eu/index.php/english-podcasts/74-albania

and find at the top today`s April 14 edition which is identical to the
8 minutes I just heard on WRMI, axually lasting 7:57! ---
http://www.radio360.eu/mplayer/podcastplayer-e.php?datei=http://www.radio700.info/podcasts/en/al/tirana/./20200414_1800.mp3&feed=albania

So as presently set up, R. Tirana relays contain 8 minutes of news
only, and that may well be all that RT is putting out now under
current circumstances, despite full half-hours being reserved.

7780, April 14 at 2230, two hours later on WRMI, I can barely hear
direct the RT IS at its new repeat time. 2238 cut to different music
fill, Andean, a quena & guitar tune but not the usual one.

Beware: not all of these RT relays may appear every day of the week if
there be something of higher priority (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800, April 15 at 0250 checking for RAE relay via
WRMI as logged in detail last night --- but NOT this time! African
percussion world-music like from the WRMI filler loop instead, not
RAE; yet at 0256 Eslovaquia outro in Spanish as if they had been
playing such music; 0301 recheck still on with ``Andean`` music, 0309
WRMI Spanish jingle and Jeff White ID in English, more music; off at
0330* after a few sex of deadair. So what became of RAE??. See also
SLOVAKIA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6180, April 15 at 0135, RNA is OFF here, but still
inbooming on 11780; anyway no ACI to 6185 MEXICO, q.v.

However, here`s an audiovideo about RNA: ``After a tender which EBC
requested a 100 kW HF DRM transmitter, they aired this video on TV
Brasil:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAKy9Z6QO3w
Cheers, Rafael`` via DRMNA iogroup via Ian, swsites. Specifically
about the facilities from 17:46; testimonials from grateful listeners
in the outback (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non?]. 711.00 kHz, April 15 at 0138, the off-frequency
carriers still here hetting 710 stations; yes, not one, but two of
them beating at rate of 204/minute = 3.4 Hz, one of them one of the
Radios Rebeldes offshifted for more annoying jamming, and perhaps the
other; altho I am getting also some mostly weak TA carriers; see UNID
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, April 14 at 1808, dead air from RHC, while the only
other midday frequency, 15140 is distorted and hummy worsening the
already choking Arabic. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, April 15 at 0135, XEPPM better than usual on
slightly minus frequency, music undermodulated but almost sufficient;
and no ACI from off RNA 6180 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SLOVAKIA [non]. 9395, April 15 at 0252, WRMI with interview in
English about GF & Easter, so another gospel huxter client? No, faked
out as soon mentions Bratislava. RSI not known to be scheduled now.
Also ending at 0256 on 5800 has been RSI in Spanish or at least so
announced following fill? music; instead of ARGENTINA, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, April 15 at 0128, WRMI closing RTI Spanish
relay with schedule, as if only one frequency each, next one at 0200
on 5010 only, rather than that *PLUS THREE MORE* as I monitored last
night but not checked tonight; don`t they read my reports? Or look at
WRMI skedgrid? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 14 at 2201, VOT English underway successfully
today except for the RTTY QRM from NAU Puerto Rico; but the R75 ANF
feature helps a lot to minimize it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17530, April 14 at 1756, VOA in English ending an interview,
1800 News voiced by ``remote`` Joe Palka (sp?), 1805 `African News
Tonite`. S9/+10 but not the big solid signal Grimesland used to
provide daytime on 15580 or 11720. This sesquihour at 1700-1830 is now
the *only* English broadcast from GB; like the previous ones, 250 kW
at 94 degrees eastward to Africa, but unlike them, too close to the
MUF / too close for hefty skip off the back on this band. Maybe those
a bit further west can get it better? Certainly not further east
(except with sporadic E/short-skip in play), until the mid-Atlantic
where the first F-layer hop plunge down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WRMI: See ALBANIA [non]; ARGENTINA [non]; SLOVAKIA [non];
TAIWAN [non]

** U S A. 6159.911V, 0132 UT Wed Apr 15, WBCQ, S9+20/10, still on here
instead of 5130, rippling carrier marring modulation, which is *not*
the `W5KUB Amateur Radio Roundtable` as scheduled 0100-0230 on 5130,
but --- after NHTSA PSA, `Hal Turner`! // 7490.1v and WRMI 9455. But
Turner is supposed to be on 5130 only on UT Thursdays at 0100-0300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic just-barely-audible MW carrier search,
despite K-index of 3, April 15 at 0143-0150: 531, 558(2), 621(2 @ 3.2

Hauser
** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800 only, April 14 at 0230-0330* monitoring RAE
Argentina al Mundo as now on WRMI skedgrid and also on the air. It`s
not Spanish-only, but all 8 languages. Opening by Fernando in Spanish
as ``Made en Casa`` #3, sked since 6 Apr at 0230-0300 [sic] Tue-Sat.
So it`s a week old already? Last week it was #2, apparently produced
once a week and repeated over & over. 0235 into Portuguese YL; brief
music bridges, Andean music this time; 0243 French giving time for
that as 2330 L-V on 7780; 0249 Italian YL & OM; 0256 German YL thru
hourtop; 0302 English by Fernando again, giving new A-20 sked for that
as 1-1:30 am Tue-Sat on 9395, starting April 6 referred to as ``last
Monday``, so now it seems this segment was recorded today? 0308 to YL
in Chinese; 0314 Japanese; and that`s 8 with time to spare, so? 0321
Portuguese again; 0324 outro in Spanish, 0326 music to 0330*. Each may
include a bit of news about what`s going on especially
quarantine-related in Argentina, and refer to website for more real
news in each language. Note: just last night, UT Monday after 0300,
something totally different on 5800: Prague in English // 9955 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 12190, April 14 at 1441, weak Chinese vs CODAR, certainly
CNR1 jammer against one of countless Sound of Hope, Taiwan low-power
frequencies. Quick check of WOOB areas 10.9-15 MHz finds no others
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145 // 6100 // 6060, April 14 at 0552, quite unusually, RHC
English now at equally good signal and modulation levels on all three!
But rounding out The Cuban Five, 6000 is undermodulated and 5040
mushy. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 14 at 0553, Radio Rebelde is off again;
something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Next check 1449 a JBA carrier:
remnants normally audible ~sesquihour before sunset to sesquihour
after sunrise over this 2+ megameter path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5010 // 5800 // 7780 // 9395, April 14 at 0217, RTI
Spanish via WRMI on *four* frequencies as we have observed before; now
the April 11 update of WRMI skedgrid finally agrees with this
observation; always a time lag to match up. The 0100 is shown and
heard on 5800 only and the 2200 on 7780 only. I`ve not yet confirmed
whether there really be a new show every night; maybe still mentioning
date in openings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 14332-USB, April 14 at 1508, W8BF in TN prompting for
check-ins from anywhere to the YL Systems net. What`s this? Nothing
but OM voices heard, 1509 on to KM4TTT in FL asking for calls. Also
ran across this net recently on 40m. All explained here:
https://ylsystem.org/
``Since 1963y, YL International Single Sideband System`` --- Once OMs
were allowed in, nothing about the gender differential percentage

** ALBANIA [non]. 15770, Mon Apr 13 at 2015, WRMI amid Radio Prague
International in English as usual; recheck at 2050, nothing but music,
from Radio Tirana? Yes, 2058 Tirana theme and 2059 its IS before cut
to JIP TOMBS at 2100.

It appears that over two weeks since the stupid clock change in
Europe, automated recording of RT for this and the German relay have
not been reset an hour earlier, instead keeps picking up music fill on
that stream at the former UT feed time. I`ve had to point this out
season after season, but am not responsible, nor is anyone else, not
even Radio Tirana itself which pretends it`s not on SW at all!

But WRMI has inserted a new time for RT even if it`s defective: 2230
UT on 7780, as noted by Richard Langley on April 12. This now shows on
the transmission schedule, as System H, but not below on System H or
any other program schedule at http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Missed SW repeats of April 12 `En Contacto`, but audio here:

https://cdn.teveo.cu/media/5W/Sn/EUZJjbRZny4c/artifact/R7WGgRVSHpVUkwQq.mp3

Hostess intro as Maya Quiroga. Pedro did not blow the 1300 in WWCR`s
address (any number would do, as there is nothing else on ``WWCR
Avenue``, but chosen to match their WNQM MW frequency; why not 15825
WWCR Ave.?); he said ``trethe-thero-thero``. Altho he pronounced it
Nashville, he spelt the city starting clearly with an H. Altho he`s in
Spain, Russian-influenced Cuban commies could easily confuse H with N.
Never mind the Greex (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, April 13 at 1950, RHC in English, good audio on
unscheduled frequency; has it been on since 1900 at least? // only
regular frequency 15140 which is as usual distorted. The same
continued after 2000 in French. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 11670, April 12 at 2338, RHC Spanish, S9+20 but
undermodulated with big hum: wiggle that patchcord! // much better
11760 which is S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RHC. No clash
with REE, which per Eibi is now running no later than 2300* and RHC
not until *2300 but it might be interesting to monitor at that time,
as REE often runs its IS for several minutes after closing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 5010v, April 13 at 0315, LAH between two weak
signals; one is surely RNM as always offset minus, and the other?
Maybe WRMI on past nominal 0230* --- or a Cuban 5040/5025 leapfrog?
Too late for India (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 9545, April 13 carrier until 0500:45*, no doubt
SIBC about to QSY to 5020 which won`t be audible till latere (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 13 at 2227 check, VOT already on in music fill
rather than signing on 30 minutes late as monitored April 10; perhaps
they even started at 2200 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2029 monitoring. Confirmed UT
Monday April 13 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, both fair-good via
eastern remotes and both without any //, as it`s settled that 9395 &
5800 at 0130 have been overtaken by Radio Prague. WOR also confirmed
on WRN webcast at 0130.

Also confirmed from 0301 UT Monday April 13 on WBCQ 6159.93v but
ripple carrier disturbing modulation: this transmitter again
substituting like last night for 5130 during Area 51.

Also confirmed UT Monday Apr 13 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, JBA here. Too
bad VG 5800 cut off just in time as until 0330 had been // 9955 with
RPI.

Also confirmed Monday April 13, from 1802 JIP during initial Alaska
item, on IRRS 7290. After 1800 ID, and FSN headlines, but drops to
dead air except for some hum, before finishing first one, not resuming
till WOR 2029 playout is already running. Still going at 1822 check,
but 1829 DA again just before WOR finishes; and there may have been
more breaks earlier.

7290 monitored via a substitute UTwente SDR explained at:
http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/
which is sufficient for this purpose:

``This WebSDR is a temporary replacement for the University of Twente
WebSDR. It is a makeshift setup at PA3FWM's home, with unfortunately
quite some local noise sources. The university receiver is currently
unusable due to an antenna malfunction since April 8. Because of
access restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is unclear if and
when it can be repaired. Hence this replacement``

Also confirmed UT Tuesday April 14 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair via
UTwente. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

Thanks this week for financial support from Doug Brown of
London, Ontario and Seminole, Florida who sent a US$ cheque
to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US
funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.959v, Sun April 12 at 2325, WBCQ is on here again like
last night instead of 5130 off for maintenance; music but
undermodulated. See also WOR monitoring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850 & 7570 & 7730, April 12 at 2329, surprised to find
WRMIs 11-12-13 all off the air. All had been BSing from 2300 as
confirmed on the April 10 edition of EiBi; but WRMI websked is now
updated as of April 11 showing no BS on these until 0000 (5850
Slovakia), except Fridays when 5850 starts another gospel huxter at
2230 and stays on with BS from 2300. Perhaps adding all those
transmitters for TOMBS on Sabbathday morning entailed some reduxions
elsewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, April 13 at 0317, WRMI with R. Prague, sacred choral
music on easter Sunday, maybe St Matthew Passion excerpt as not IDed
before closing at 0328 and then applause; bit of other music but 0330
cut to dead air, and off by 0331*, just in time to avoid simulcasting
9955 for WOR as until now it has been //. 5800 is supposedly scheduled
now with RAE in Spanish at 0230-0330*. See also MADAGASCAR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9350, April 13 at 2001, this WWCR has during a pause,
cross-talk from something else, presumably bleeding out of another
WWCR transmitter. It would have been clearly readable without self-QRM
and volume upturned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Fixing a couple of minor 1-or-2 letter typos:


** CUBA. 13700 // 13780, April 12 at 1343, last half of RHC `En
Contacto`, acknowledging reception report for 11840! That frequency
was replaced last year by 11850, demoting 11840 to only that minus 10
kHz JBA spur, so was it what they really heard?! . . .

** CUBA. 11830-11855 & 11908-11955 approx., April 11 at 1454, expanse
of jamsplat if not full pulse jamming. Tuning upwards I at first think
it`s centred about 11845, a long-gone Radio Martí frequency. But there
is full jamming against current RM on 11860 and more splat on its plus
side, obscured by 11880 CRI relay. And another range certainly coming
out of the other RM jammed channel, 11930. In their zeal to suppress
any dissent, the Cuban Commies don`t give a damn about what collateral
damage it may cause, even to their own other broadcasts (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, April 11 at 2016, RHC French at S9/+10 but distorted
with hum; while in a switch, // 15140 has OK modulation at S9+20.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 12 at 0013, Radio Rebelde back on air at S9+25
after missing last night, and now with OK modulation; but for how
long? Something must be wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, April 12 at 0457-0502*, dead air averaging S9 and the
SSOB. Got to be RHC; also much weaker 11700 with JBA Spanish goes off
about same time. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13700 // 13780, April 12 at 1343, last half of EHC `En
Contacto`, acknowledging reception report for 11840! That frequency
was replaced last year by 11850, demoting 11840 to only that minus 10
kHz JBA spur, so was it what they really heard?! Or is this another
oldshow rerun? On to Pedro Sedano`s monthly report from AER in Spain
with the current sked for WWCR Spanish, L-V 21-22 on 15825. He always
laboriously spells out postal addresses of stations which are anything
but Spanish, including H-A-S-H-V-I-L-L-E [sic]! I think he also blew
the ``1300`` but will have to listen again. Then the Spanish skeds for
safely Commie stations VOK and VOV, with their addresses. Final
segment back to Arnie at home via marvelous fibre-optic line for
propagation, but all he does is somehow connect the pandemic with
900-km DX between E & W Cuba on 2 meters --- tropo or Es? This week`s
hostess seems named Maya Quiroz. Of course, any announcer can handle
it, since Arnie writes the whole script, including third-person
references to himself. Also filled some time with vintage Radio
Rebelde clips.

6000, April 12 at 1343, presumed RHC carrier still on here, JBM,
before I ascend to 13 MHz for En Contacto.

13620, April 12 at 1350, leapfrog mixing product of RHC 13780 over
13700 another 80 kHz lower, this time with enough // modulation to
make it certain. Reverse leap on 13860 is however a JBA carrier.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15140, April 12 at 1558, JBA carrier means RHC must
be off instead of continuous, uncovering OMAN. 11760 RHC is still
running for midday. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, April 12 at 0502, NO signal from RNZI tho
scheduled here daily 0459-0658; nor other nights. If really still on
there, zero propagation where it used to be a standout, SSOB by far on
25m, in fact its best frequency of all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, April 12 at 0010, S9 of rap music. These
logs say it`s Texas Radio Shortwave on an Easter theme until 0030:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65462.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15205.060, April 12 at 1600, S8-S9 in Arabic, not //
15435v, not measured. These fit for B-19 schedule from SBC, Qur`an and
General services respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.91, April 12 at 0009, WBCQ at S9/+20 with music, yet
rough copy in noise level. Last-minute notice came from Larry Will
that due to maintenance, Area 51 would be on 6160 instead of 5130
Saturday night from 2300. Unknown yet whether that will still apply
for the Sunday night span, including WORLD OF RADIO at 0300v UT Monday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, Sat April 11 at 1534, survey of all WRMI frequencies,
10! of which are scheduled for Brother HyStairical`s live Sabbath
service --- any social distancing in the tabernacle? --- finds no
signal on this one but TOMBS or at least a carrier on 5800, 5850,
5950, 7730, 7780, 9395, 9455, 9955; 5010 also listed but not checked.
Only 15770 is on with something else, SMTV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, April 12 at 0012, WTWW-2 tune-in finds TONITO already
running earlier than usual, S9+30/40 somewhat distorted organ music
and I`m not near the computer for the $ tereo webcast. Applause between
selexions, and considerable hum, background noise during pauses, but
doesn`t sound like air compressor. 0030 during final piece other
extraneous noises, animal? 0032 outro as again a performance by guest
Len; 0033 finished, into a Morse CQ as hamstuff resumes (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, April 12 at 0019, gospel huxter on presumed WWRB
before 3215 switch to WWCR at 0100. On air weekends only, but in
A-season normally ascends to 5050. Not yet, so when? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 18143-USB, April 12 at 1847, KW6J/7 contact with
someone in Waukesha WI, unheard. We have sporadic E opening from AZ
per DX MAP showing MUF of 30 MHz over NM in between (but nothing heard
on 21 MHz band except JBA carrier from 21525 WRMI). QRZ.com:
``KW6J/7, BRIAN C STAPLETON, 642 RAMONA DR, CORONA DEL MAR CA 92625``
But I think he`s in AZ now, says he goes back and forth to CA.

18131-USB, April 12 at 1851, another OM in Phœnix judging from local
refs, inviting check-ins to YL-System net or something like that. But
neglecting to sign his own call.

18145-USB, April 12 at 1852, among a few other phone sigs on band, Oz?
accent, says he is ex-RAF, worked in Saudi Arabia as civilian, VE7UHS.
DX Map unshows any Es UHF over this path, Rob Hatch in West Kelowna
BC, with lots of photos:

UNIDENTIFIED. 11895, April 12 at 0503, after 11850 & 11700 CUBA go
off, this is the OSOB, S8-S9 and JBM? Aoki shows CRI English via
Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imprisoning and brainwashing native
Uyghurs; but also RFA Chinese via SAIPAN which of course requires
additional CNR1 jamming; still there at 0602 sounds like Chinese, so
likely the latter. If really Saipan, could be noticeably off-frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
