WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST
Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) ~Aggregator - WRN: Updated links to the regional schedules for the A-22 season 2) Germany - Welle 370/MuseumFunkerberg: New entry to list 3) Nigeria - V of Nigeria: Re-instated link to V of Nigeria home page at www.von.gov.ng as site is now working again (Thanks to Hansjoerg Biener) 4) Netherlands - RockPower: Added link to live stream 5) Taiwan - R Taiwan Int: Updated link to current programme schedule The next update is scheduled for early/mid June Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS also updated: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html ** ALBANIA [non]. 7730, Thu May 5 at 0600, R. Tirana in English via WRMI, good direct with feature on Eid+, last day of Ramadan. It seems that only on UT Weds this is replaced by RFPI in Russian. Now there is also a noise field surrounding, about 7710-7750. ** CUBA. 11670, May 6 at 0604, RHC English! S9+10 on unscheduled frequency, while all the 6`s are OFF; 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, and 5040 is in Spanish. Ivo Ivanov had already found English on 11670 & 13740 at 0507 May 4. Now 13740 is something else, but at 0609 I find RHC English on 11880, S9+20/30 overmodulated, distorted and somewhat breaking up. 11670 is supposed to be a Spanish-only frequency much earlier in the day, and 11880 only at 22-24 including English at 23. Something`s always wrong at RHC: but maybe they are experimenting with higher bands for summer nights, which does make more sense propagationally. The Other Side: Castroism's fear of 'the masses' prompts it to shorten lines in Havana --- So many hungry and angry people in one place, cursing the exasperating lack of food, is a dangerous time bomb for any autocracy. ROBERTO ÁLVAREZ QUIÑONES | Los Ángeles https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1651692701_39270.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, May 6 at 1501, V of Martyrs Korea, Maldives service with preacher in English, Bible story about some temple, S9/+10 direct. Wish we could get a fix on its secret site, but would be wasting my time trying TDOA for spurious ``most likelies``. Meanwhile, RBA on 11825, music for Myanmar is only S4/S6. 11620 stays in English a while longer, but by 1511 when I tune in via Coimbatore, India remote, it`s the YL in Dhivehi, S9/+20, only slightly stronger than I am getting her directly here, *way* off the target area. At 1524 it sounds like she utter the English term ``book banning``. 1529 switch to strumusic, and English sign-off just in time for `Laudeter Iesus Christus` from weaker Vatican Arabic at *1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 7375, May 6 after 0300, NO signal of RRI English to N America, as I follow my own advice to listen. That`s one of the disabled transmitters but still on the sked; however, VG on 9850 into UTwente, and likely into ENAm too, but I`m too busy to pay attention to content (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, May 5 at 0501-0507, UR1 VG via WRMI with English `Ukraine: Security Issue` for Day 70? of Russia`s war. 7730, May 6 at 0500.7-0506.2, YP1 via WRMI, English segment this time by the OM announcer with heavy accent who speaks way too fast, difficultizing comprehension (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Thanks for your efforts!`` One may also contribute by check in US$ on a US bank to the PO Box. Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com First broadcasts of WOR 2137 confirmed, UT Friday May 6 at 0130 on WRMIs: 7730 S9+15/20 into UTwente, but several words of closing overridden by WRMI even tho I have allowed 3.5 seconds silence at end of my file; VG o 5850 cirect. Also confirmed Friday May 6 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S8/9+10 direct with Cuban pulse jamming! But generally atop it and readable if you put up with it. There is no excuse for jamming this time of day unless it``s deliberately against me. Next: Friday 1815 on IRRSes, as above (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4790, May 6 at 0406 tune-in UTwente, WBCQ Radio Angela is audible way off the back in Europe, but the uteblaaps are too, and even louder there than in N America. The same sound with the noise pitch descending slightly each time, but now they are 2 seconds long rather than one, and are bursting every few seconds instead of exactly 3:00, 4:00 or 5:00 minutes apart! Very annoying. They register S9+15 while BCQ is only 7. Then I also hear some very weak CW in background, seems like a repeating marker but uncopiable. 0418 I`ve switched to Maryland SDR and surprised to find WBCQ still on air instead of quitting at `0410 After Midnight`. Now it`s a rock music show with a DJ. I watch the uteblaaps on the waterfall, very interesting display. They now make perfect squares, which I think means they are 2 seconds long by 2 kHz wide. Reading the calibration, as closely as I can tell, they are in three spots: 4782-4784, 4789-4791 = right on BCQ; and 4798-4800. Note these are asymmetrical. Each burst is a combination of any two of them, seemingly at random: left+right, left+mid, or mid+right. The BCQ signal runs past 0430, but off at 0455 check, while the blaaps are still running, now no longer square but elongated, i.e. almost 3 kHz wide, roughly: 4782-4785, 4788.5-4791.5, 4798-4801. 0532 recheck, now they are back to 2 x 2. No doubt all this is significant if one only knew what`s really going on such as Forex arbitrage info (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1739 UT May 6 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
