** ALASKA. 9695, May 2 at 1406, something new with gospel rock, S6-S2
but well modulated, best signal on band except for WRMIs and WBCQ.
Likely either RBA or WCB, but quickly ID in passing as ``Your New Life
Station``, so KNLS, which besides, is gone from 9580 where we had been
hearing this English hour. Why change? No CCI or ACI to 9580 during
this hour nor shown in Aoki/NDXC.

1450, still going on 9695 with gospel music, and then capsule about
archaeology, no doubt biblical and anti-science. A bit more music with
no sign-off but dead air at 1459, keeps running and 1500 opens
Russian, which I guess is also a replacement for 9730 where I just
heard it a few days ago, but unrechecked now.

Is 9695 now on the ``latest broadcasting schedule``? Of course not!
https://www.worldchristian.org/welcome/who-we-are/how-to-listen/

Guess what: Sa`udi in Pashto is already scheduled on 9695 at 14-16,
but no sign of it here, maybe imaginary. Guess what (2)? KNLS is
scheduled on 9695 at 08-10 in English & Russian, so now I suspect 9695
be a one(?)-off mistake, failing to change to 9580/9730 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, May 2 at 0521, RTA Qur`an via FRANCE again has
rapid-beep jamming, tone or carriers less than 1 kHz from each side;
approx. 10 X per second. A few recent chex lacked them, so not always
applied. Who would want to jam this? Could it be something else, like
spurs out of Cuban jamming nearby against no Martí?

7365 over 7335 does not compute, as that would land on 7305, 30 kHz
away. However, 7435 over 7365 would fit, 70 kHz away. But these beeps
do not match the mix of sounds heard on the Cuban jammers, nor their
rate, and besides, would not explain why other RTA frequencies are
also reported jammed. Maybe coincidental (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7335, 7365, 7405, 7435, May 2 at 0521, Cuban jamming of
various levels still running here against Radio Martí frequencies, the
active ones of which, 7335 and 7435, have just been turned off for
good at 0400* per budget cuts, as monitored by Stephen Luce, Houston
TX. We expect the DentroCuban jamming command will not swiftly turn
off too, as they have kept jamming many other previous RM channels.
However, Stephen Luce follows up:

``At a later 0530 check May 2 the Cuban jamming was still going on
6030; however nothing on 7335 and 7435.``

Steve McGreevy suggests: ``A few things come to mind why Cuba keeps-on
their jamming (possibly):

1) Unaware of the Marti outage thus keeping them going;
2) They know BUT afraid to switch off the jammers and have Marti take
advantage and switch back on in the clear...
3) The Cubans have more jamming budget under their system to blare
away 24/7 (?) rather than "budget" to better-match the schedule of
Marti... a little cold-war remnant just like our monitoring of the
KOR/KRE fascination, eh?! 73 - Steve :-) -- N6NKS -

1411-1415, extremely distorted FM/AM spurblobs at approx. 66-kHz
intervals out of 13700-AM, the outer ones JBA except for S7-S9 13900
which I hit first downtuning; in some cases a trace of the F# tone the
only clue. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13545, 13610, 13675; 13805, 13870, 13935, 13999 approx., May
2 at 2116, now it`s the 13740-AM frequency carrying the
spur-blob-producing transmitter we have previously caught on 15370,
and many mornings including today on 13700. Now these are about 65-kHz
intervals, declining from strong S4-S6 at the first order out to JBA
on the outskirts, at least with the signature F# tone. 13870 also
conflicts with the RTTY normally on there. This of course can only
happen when fundamental 13740 be on the air in the tardes, extremely
irregular. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

on reactivated May-Aug frequency via Nauen, GERMANY, rock music, what
else? Fair signal to UTwente SDR, maybe a bit too close. But JBA here
in OK! at 0034 check; at a Maine SDR, good signal that far anyway. At
UTwente, ex-5960 is now open for Chinese. Perhaps 7 MHz band would
have been a good compromise for broader North American coverage (Glenn

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1-WBFM, May 2 at 2015 UT, KUCO-FM Edmond/OKC with this
Saturday`s opera already over, the anonymous fill-music show is
playing something very interesting; I really perk up when I hear a
well-known humaly in the voice of Carl Sagan. It ends at 2035 when
Lane Whitesell IDs this as Carolyn Shaw`s ``The Listeners``.

We never know exactly when the good stuff will start once the Met be
over. Unfortunately, KUCO provides no playlist on weekends even for
its original programming, so I search about it later. ``The
Listeners`` premiered last fall in California:

https://www.sfcv.org/reviews/philharmonia-baroque-orchestra-chorale/philharmonia-baroque-orchestra-chorale-unveils

So far I don`t find any linx to recordings of it which one of these
says is about 30 minutes long. But KUCO got it.

Some more vocal music on KUCO, and listening on $ tereo headphones, I
can tell that Lane is voice-tracked, as there are breaks in the
background noise level during his announcements. With another hour to
fill, after ToH IDs at 2100 it drops to dead air for a minute, then
defaults to non-vocal music, really strange stuff, harpsichord and
violin hitting some really sour notes; like a parody? When I recheck
at 2110, Kimberly Powell is apparently live, apologizing for
disruption in regular programming, and playing a properly tuned piano
quintet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 2 at 2210, VOT English is on the air today, but
mostly Turkish fill music, VG via UTwente but with some hum --- not
positive whether it be transmitted thus. But from 2229.5 to 2228, it`s
an evergreen `Turkey`s Tourist Attraxions`, all about the crossroads
of Istanbul. Rest is mostly music, occasional TRT/VOT promos ``with
you 24 hours`` --- really? and 2238 COVID-19 PSA about how to fight
it; 2253 sign-off claiming it`s the 1230 broadcast on 15450, IS, 2256

UNIDENTIFIED. 13435.8-USB, May 2 at 1415, JBA 2-way in Spanish vs an
RHC spur and CODAR: great frequency choice! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0057 UT May 3, 2020

** CUBA [and non]. 11800, May 1 at 2255, NF of RHC is S9, but just
barely modulated in Spanish: far better however than the parasites on
11790 & 11810. I am checking whether there will be a collision with
Romania in Spanish already on 11800 at 2300? I do not hear any IS from
it before 2300, but by 2301 there it is: weaker signal underneath
leading to about the same low modulation level as RHC.

11700 was the other RRI Spanish frequency, but RHC forced it to QSY,
to 11990, where I also JB hear RRI now that 11700 is vacant of both!
Can it be coincidental that these two keep colliding. The Cuban
Commies surely have no respect for countries which have overthrown the
yoke of Communist oppression -- and even assassinated the dictators.

Or is it merely Cuban incompetence, picking a frequency already
occupied by another station in Spanish to Latin America? Anyhow, RRI
might as well move back onto 11700, if Cuba does not: better wait a
while to see how this shaxe out. Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW,
Aoki/NDXC still shows RRI 23-24 Spanish on 11700 & 11800, while EiBi
has it right, 11800 & 11990 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7380, May 1 at 2256, RHC music at S9+20/25, instead of 11880,
where it had kept the 2300 English so far since the DST shift. Wolfie
had been expecting this alternate frequency but reports today:

``A-3 antenna HRS4/4/0.8 RJ 130degr -30degr slewed SoAF azimuth
2230-2300 11880 BAU 100 100 SoAf Portuguese Africa
today again Portuguese, not Spanish like on May 1st instead.
Every day new RHC irritations. 73 wolfie``

But at 2256 when I had 7380, 11880 was NOT on; had it just switched?
He means today = UT May 1; May 1 = UT April 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

promos in English; by 2252 it`s S9+15 on the JRC; 2254 YL sign-off
claiming as usual we have been listening to the 1230-1330 broadcast on
15450! What does she know? Something`s always awry at Ankara. Keeps
going into IS; 2256 pause and restart IS, inserting German IDs twice a
minute, so we`re in for a bonus. Timesignal ends 5.5 seconds late
after 2300, elaborate sign-on in German but chopped off the air by
2300:45*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 7490.045v, to 7490.050v, from 0030 to 0057 UT Saturday May
2, `AAAWWW` on WBCQ, also on much weaker 5130.04; and medium 6159.96V
which has a het from a station closer to 6160.00. I knew this was
going to happen as soon as we had the new Ramadan-extra schedule until
May 25 from IRAN: 0023-0120 for all those Turx who want to listen to
those Shiites, up in the middle of the night for early-breakfast, 500
kW at 298 degrees per Ivo; around 0030 AW starts to read a long
article from Radio World about Lee DeForest, radio pioneer. 0057 just
a bit of e-mail before 0100 cut to Hal Turner.

I was also listening to the first few minutes on 7490 webcast; it
started out JBM but blasted on as I was about to try 5130 webcast. A&A
acknowledges it`s May Day; and soon Angela is too hot in Florida and
takes off her shirt in a coy radio strip-tease. But John Carver took
it as Allan taking off his shirt:

``Tonight's show started on time on 5130 and 6160 and a few seconds
later on 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio in Fla. Opens with Allan
taking his shirt off as it's hot in the studio. No mention of what
Angela is wearing. Allan states that at least in this country radio
listening is still more popular than streaming and that radio will
continue to be more popular for years to come. First phone call at
0012 from Freddie with reception reports on the three frequencies.
Then Allan stated that he had filed a complaint about Iran interfering
and colliding with 6160 from about 0020 to 0120. Phone call from
Freddie again at 0019 saying he would check on the interference with
6160. Freddie yet again at 0023 reporting that there is indeed a
collision on 6160.

Back to talking about radio in general and how it will always be
superior to the internet. Allan then reads an article from Radio World
about Lee DeForest. Reading of emails at 0051 and closing prayer at
0059 cut off at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. 1420+, May 1 at 1207 UT, someotherstation far enough
off+frequency to make a LAH with other 1420s, also looping roughly
SE/NW like 1350. Too many possibilities: closest KFYN Bonham TX; KBHS
Hot Springs AR; KPEL Lafayette LA; WQBC Vicksburg MS. Maybe we can
rule out KBHS which 1+ year ago was 3.5 Hz low (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9360, S6-S8 and 9970, S6-S7, April 30 at 1753 past 1800
without ID or any break, past 1818, both Firedragon jamming against
nothing else audible but listed RFA in Mandarin via Kuwait and Saipan
respectively. Rather surprised to be getting this around noon here. No
sign of any others above or below this band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 2032)

** CUBA [and non]. 7350, April 30 at 1309, RHC Spanish is S4-S6 and
undermodulated, ex-7340. Evidently moved because of someAsian on 7340;
seems like Chinese, but Aoki shows the only at this hour is National
Unity Radio, clandestine toward North Korea from Tajikistan site; as
long as AIR Mumbai be inactive. 9535 RHC is also on at 1314 check
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2032)

** CUBA. 13740 // 13700, April 30 at 1315, RHC on these two today but
no spurblobs; rather very weak leapfrogs on 13660 & 13780. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11790 & 11810, May 1 at 0019, RHC JBA parasitic carriers to
new 11800, so that proves they are the ex-11850 transmitter, ex-11840
always with the plus/minus 10 kHz sputnix. Something continues wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9340, May 1 at 0020, RHC is gone again after appearing on
this new frequency yesterday. Now 9535 and 9640 are still on.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11700 and 13740, onetime/sometime RHC frequencies are also off, May 1
at 0021. Wolfgang Bueschel notes new 15230 carries some Portuguese, so
that makes it ex-11700.

So a full survey of active Cuban SW frequencies, including CRI relays,
circa 0025 May 1, finds: 15730, 15230, 15120, 11760, 11670, 9640,
9535, 6145, 6060, 6000, 5990, 5040, 5025 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, May 1 at *0030 sharp, carrier on from Radio Progreso,
but like last night, another fiasco, no modulation and keeps cutting
off and on after nominal sign-on time: 0033* off, *0036:35 back on and
off, *0040:35 on and off again; 0050 still off, so enough of that, but
by 0155 recheck it`s staying on with musical modulation. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** HONG KONG [non]. 9400, April 30 at 1313, heavy collision, at least
one in Chinese, fast SAH, another in classical music, and maybe a
third station. I figured it must be SOH or Taiwan or RFA piled upon by
ChiCom jammers, but Aoki and EiBi show the only station is Radio
Liangyou 1, via FEBC Iba site, PHILIPPINES at 1030-1400. It doesn`t
rate an entry in WRTH, just another Chinese broadcast of FEBC. But
originating in Hong Kong, does it have a political agenda beyond mere
evangelism, to merit jamming? The only other 9400 partially listed at
this hour is Brother Hystairical via Bulgaria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 9095, April 18 at 1818, Korean at S7-S9, i.e. this
week`s jumparound frequency of Echo of Hope, clandestine for the
north. I often detect a carrier at many times on 9095, 9100 or 9105,
but rarely this good. 9 MHz must be in a sweet spot for reception from
E Asia, cf. Firedragon jammers from China. EiBi shows VOH not on the
air at this hour, but Aoki does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, April 30 at 0614, S9-S6 of dead air from VON.
Well, that`s something --- but not really better than nothing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2032 contents: Alaska, Algeria non,
Austria, Benin, China, Cuba and non, France, Germany, India and non,
Japan non, Korea South & North, Mali, México, Netherlands non,
Nicaragua, Philippines, Romania, Sa`udi Arabia, South Carolina non,

** U S A. 6159.917V, May 1 at 0158, this WBCQ is on with Hal Turner
spelling out his NJ address, and asking for foreign currency
contributions; frequency wavering slightly as I try to measure it;
also on // 5130 and 7490.04v; presumably also on WRMI 9455, but over
by the time I check at 0159 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0411 UT May 1

** CUBA. 13740, April 29 at 1334, RHC back on here instead of 13780:
they can`t decide which one to keep. // 13700 as usual, and it`s the
one also producing extremely distorted spurblobs circa 13637 and
13763. This time no readable program audio on them in SSB, AM or FM
reception modes. 1424 check, 13700 still on, spurs off and 13740 off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15730, April 30 at 0013, RHC on and propagating, but
suptorted with cutouts, French not // 5040 Kriyol. Something`s always
wrong at RHC.

15230, April 30 at 0013, RHC in Spanish! This frequency has been
running only in the mornings, 13-15 per Eibi, 11-15 per Aoki/NDXC.
This is only the start of various new frequencies/times now heard:

11800, April 30 at 0016, new RHC in Spanish // 11760, and //
ripple/distorted 11670 as if two carriers? but 11700 and 11850 are
both OFF. So the 11850 parasites on 11840 & 11860 also off. Which one
does 11800 replace, or both? 11800 better not be on before 0000 as the
others were, due to Romania in Spanish! Something`s always wrong at
RHC. The 11980 harmonic of 5990 CRI in Spanish also audible now.

9340, April 30 at 0021, RHC on brand new frequency in Spanish, but
missing from 9535 & 9640 the normal 31mb tarde channels; replaces
both, or error, or?

Another change reported by wolfie the morning of April 29 was 7350
instead of 7340. Remains to be heard if all these changes stick, and
what more there may be; Arnie just getting around to post-seasonal
juggling? Or maybe to celebrate May 1: ``patria o suerte,
¡pensaremos!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, April 30 at 0037, Radio Progreso is S9+10/20 of dead
air until cut off at 0043.5*, back on *0051.8-0052.3* still with no
modulation. Lite CODAR swishing QRM only on the LSB side. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 29 at 2242, VOT makes it on air today, S9+5
during Turkish music fill. Seems their success rate on this
transmission is less than 50%; and when it is on they claim it`s the
1230 on 15450. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler and/or awry at
Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed after 2100 Wed
April 29 on WBCQ 7490.1v, JBA here and UTwente; VP at Chicagoland
KiwiSDR, sufficient at one of the numerous Rochesters.

Also confirmed UT Thu April 30 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S9 on generous
meter but rates only poor vs noise level. Presumably much better to
the NE of FL.

WOR 2032 should be ready by early UT Fri May 1, for first WRMI
broadcast at 2200 on 9955. BTW, I`ve been feeling OK since 2031.
