** ANTARCTICA. Re 15475.98 RCUSB, LRA36 absent in April: ``Hello
Glenn, I have received this whatsapp and I think that it's important:

Amigos los invito a sintonizar y también a difundir el reinicio de las
emisiones especiales en onda corta de LRA36 Radio Nacional Arcángel
San Gabriel en la Base Esperanza (Antártida) el sábado 7 de Mayo a las
15 UTC por 15476 kilohertz en USB. Posiblemente haya una repeticion a
las 18 UTC ese mismo día. Informes de recepción deben enviarse a
lra36nacional@gmail.com
Lucas Willian Bocchi``, Brasil, May 1. Says they shall resume May 7 at
1500, possibly repeating at 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13550, May 2 at 1505, JBA carrier rather than usual 13530,
presumed CNR1 jammer against Sound of Hope as both are in Aoki, while
EiBi lax 13550, rather fax from NZ at :30-:45 past certain hours
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 13810, May 2 at 1506, S8/S9 in Chinese two signals
making a LAH = low audible heterodyne. EiBi and Aoki show jammer & RFA
Chinese via TAJIKISTAN at 15-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 15245, May 2 at 1511, American English conversation so
presumably CGTN/CRI as sked this hour via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN,
land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems;
but also with a het on plus side approx. 15245.25: that would be
VOKorear also sked in English this hour, but it would be stilted
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13680, May 1 at 2214, RHC music S9/S7 // 11760, 9710, 9535
and no others found. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 13680 appears
nowhen in EiBi and Aoki, perhaps an alternate or mistake for 13740
which is often heard but not now. 13680 has been used in previous
seasons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, May 1 at 2216, RHC is S9 but just barely modulated in
French. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, May 2 at 0607, RHC in wrong language Spanish, and so is
6100 but JBM, leaving English only on 6165, undermodulated.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. I`m on the indoor longwire during
lightning which also caused at least two brief power failures (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, May 2 at 2104, RHC here instead of 13680 yesterday,
S9+20/30 but extremely distorted music. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, May 2 at 1528, secret site of V of Martyrs
Korea, going from Dhivehi talk to nondescript fill music, S9+25 into
Bengaluru SDR but noisy; 1529.5 English sign-off as Maldives service,
but carrier stays on until 1530.5* after which Vatican Arabic becomes
JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. World FM, on three lowpower transmitters and
streaming, longtime WORLD OF RADIO affiliate, has adjusted its
schedule so that the first two airings are on Fridays when freshest:
Fri 0805 & 2205 UT; Tuesday 0305. Also lots of other great
programming. See http://www.worldfm.co.nz/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. I have been remiss in not trying to hear RRI`s English to
N America, one of the few SW stations still toward us --- well,
almost, as CIRAF targets are all 8 = eastern third of USA, not central
or west; timings happen to be inconvenient for me, but:
2030-2100 11850 13650
0000-0100 7375 9550
0300-0400 7375 9850
Note to self (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, May 2 at 2103, for third day in a row NO signal on
REE`s N American frequency. Something`s nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, May 2 at 0502-0509.5, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` in English with YL caster. Usually I listen via a
Maryland remote where WRMI shoots a VG signal up the coast and onward
toward Europe, but tonight I try it direct despite being off the side,
NW, from this NE beam. It`s generously S9 but deficient also with a
wideband noise field, problematic in WRMI fades, and after 0506 also
some talking CCI, maybe 2-way SSB from algo? I never have such
problems via Maryland.

Joe Ihnat, SW Pennsylvania, USA, presumably referring to the English
news bit, says, ``Also via WRMI at 1200 UT on 5010 (every day except
Friday?). Not really audible here, but I've been catching this one
when I can via one of the South Florida remotes.`` I guess that would
be on 12-hour delay from original broadcast after 0000.

Also, referring to the Ukrainian announcements just before English,
Richard Langley says, ``I consulted a colleague at UNB in the Physics
Department with whom I collaborate on ionospheric studies who is from
Ukraine. He was very helpful:

"The URL they mention is http://sprotyv.mod.gov.ua/ The word спротив
(sprotyv) is resistance in English. If you have any other question
regarding Ukraine (war, culture, community, language etc.), I will be
glad to take it."

Using Chrome's translation facility, here is a bit of their home page:
``CENTER NATIONAL RESISTANCE --- Each of us in our place can resist
the enemy and contribute to victory. Together we will turn the lives
of the occupiers into hell. Join! In order to become an invisible
avenger that the occupiers will be afraid of, you need to know
tactics, medicine, internet security, know about homemade weapons and
non-violent actions`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2136 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 1 at 2001 on Italia AM, 1323 kHz, S9+8 into nearby Noale SDR; and
nothing now on 918 or 207 kHz.

Also confirmed Sunday May 1 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S9/+10 into TN SDR:
still running altho deleted from skedgrid months ago. If anyone run
across any other secret WOR time on WRMI, do let me know!

Also confirmed UT Monday May 2 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 into TN
SDR. Back on air unlike last night. 7780 was already on at earlier
check 2356.

Also confirmed UT Monday May 2 circa 0115 the 0100 on Global Community
Radio 1 webcast. Is anyone close enough to check whether WOR still be
on these GCR1 LPFM affiliates?
KFZR-LP 93.3 Frazier Park CA
KIEZ-LP 106.7 Monroe LA
KLQS-LP 96.7 Agua Dulce CA

Also confirmed UT Monday May 2 from 0301.8 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-,
JL ran over and then some dead air. ACI from 6165 Cuba. No one is
acting to resolve this adjacency conflict. Ending after 0330, my last
word, ``disclaimer``, overridden by HRI in too big a hurry to start.

Thanks this week for financial support from Mike Lewis, Alexander
City, Alabama who sent a generous check to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684,
Enid OK 73702, and testifies:

``I have been an on-and-off World of Radio listener since the late
1970’s ... I regret that I have utterly neglected the most valuable
and thankfully still enduring radio resource, World of Radio! ...
Fortunately, World of Radio is still with us. I am finally doing the
right thing and offering a contribution, and plan to do more in the
future.``

Also, last week`s thankee, Joe Caberlin, Ontario, would always also
like to be known as VE1EJ; originally from Nova Scotia.

** U S A. 4790, UT Mon May 2 at 0250, `Concert Hall` on WBCQ Radio
Angela is playing Pagliacci, but too much storm noise at all the
remotes I check to enjoy it. A shame this has been consigned to WBCQ`s
worst = lowest frequency. As for the uteblaaps, this reply about them
from Justin Stillman:

``Radio Angela 4790 “Interference” --- After listening to it tonight
on the concert hall broadcast with many modulation and broadcast
issues of the music program, I can only conclude that the sound is of
a scheduled data transmission, its feature late night seven days a
week would make me guess Forex trading or a Forex arbitrage data
system. That would line up with the exact intervals you’ve timed as
well as the sudden new frequency for music 2 hours a night. I don’t
know it all, just lines up in my head. Different data format 7570 but
bet the same reason`` --- the latter refers to the continuous 30-kHz-
wide noise field I heard around that WRMI frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9330, May 2 at 1514, zero signal from the 500 kW WBCQ
SuperStition, depriving us of any WLCR flat-earth nonsense. What`s
wrong now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UZBEKISTAN. 15509.832, May 2 at 1509, weak talk unknown language,
way off frequency; Aoki & EiBi show 15510 at 1500-1530 is IBRA Radio
Ibrahim, Sweden, in Bengali via Tashkent, which is typically askew
like this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15648.8 USB, May 1 at 2209, JBA 2-way in Spanish,
intruders (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched May 2 at 2135. I was going to wait a little
longer, but storms are closing in; with tornadoes in adjacent counties

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, May 1 at 0621, JBA carrier definitely there
despite high storm noise level; surely nothing else but R. Kiribati,
London (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620: In previous report typo as *1468.5 instead
of correct *1458.5. May 1 at *1500, poor signal direct vs local birdie
too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sunday May 1 at 0039, The Mighty KBC
with a commercial in Dutch for some radio equipment? As a believer in
J-seasons, has accomplished yearly summer switch until September from
wintry 5960 via Nauen, GERMANY; VG S9+10/25 into TN SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 9450 & 9890, Sat Apr 30 at 1958, NO sign of R.
Ominira Yoruba as allegedly scheduled at least on weekends via
Woofferton at 19-24. See my April 23 report. However, 9890 is VG into
UTwente with Chinese music at 1958, timesignal and ID 2000, i.e. start
of CRI Chinese hour via Beijing 572 site. Another check direct at
2122: nothing on either this year`s 9450 not last year`s 9890 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, May 1 at 0037, only pirate trace into TN
SDR is here, music and DJ talk, S5/S7 vs high storm noise level =
HSNL, and not even a carrier direct. These say it`s Yeah Man Radio,
none later than 0048, but TN remote still had algo VP at 0157:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,96573.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1340 kHz, April 30 at 2128 UT, KGHM Midwest City sports
talk -- as in ``gahme`` has a SAH on daytime groundwave, first timed
at 96/minute but audibly slowing to only 68/min, i.e. 1.6 to 1.1 Hz.
KGHM, the closest 1340 normally dominates daytime here, but on the R75
with E/W longwire must also be uppicking second-closest, KJMU Sand
Springs from the east. BTW, NRC AM Log shows it runs only semipower in
daytime, 500 watts, why? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 17530.081, May 1 at 1453, JBA off-frequency
carrier. Of course, it`s VOA Kinyarwanda/Kirundi via Pinheira, at
14-15 weekends only. At 1500 should switch to English via Botswana,
probably less off-frequency. Hardly anything else is propagating on 16
m.

15460, May 1 at 1456, African language conversation, one on the phone,
with birdchirps in background from studio side? Outstanding SSOB at
S9+10/20 until chopped off at 1458.5. This too is VOA K/K via
Pinheira, scheduled this hour weekends only. And not noticeably
off-frequency! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Sunday May 1 at 1451, no signal from REE to N
America, supposed to start at 1400 weekends. Was also AWOL all day
April 30 during stupid ballgame, tsk2. Now 15520 is JBA direct; at
1501, JBA carrier on 11685 not 11670 where it was reported yesterday,
and also JBAC? on 11940. Strike out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE. 7730, May 1 at 0501-0507.5, YP1 via WRMI with `Ukraine:
Security Issue` English segment on Day 66 of war, VG as usual into
Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 332 MCW kHz, April 30 at 2124 UT, cannot detect IC, 400-watt
NDB at wIChita KS, normally audible, but noise level is hi. Wonder if
knocked off by yesterday`s Andover tornado? Need further chex. Ah, it
is JBA May 1 at 1803. BTW, 341, EI, Enid OK is still active and seems
a bit stronger than when first resumed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2136 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
April 30 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, S8 into Portugal SDR but with RTTY
warble on the LSB.

Confirmed Saturday April 30 from 1938.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, steady
S9+7 groundwave into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed Sat Apr 30 at 1949 the 1930 on WRN N America webcast.

NOT confirmed UT Sunday May 1 at 0030 on WRMI-13 7780 - because it is
OFF the air, direct and also remotes checked. Not the first time has
been AWOL long after nominal *2300. Not due to propagation as e.g.
7730 is S6/S9. And all other scheduled WRMI frequencies are nominal:
4980, 5010, 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 9395, 9455, 9955. 7780 still
absent at further chex 0130, 0220, 0257, but finally going at 0456
with TOMBS so maybe came up at 0400 or 0300. At least we are saved
from a few hours of BS, but diverse programming hours from Systems D
or F are supposed to be on 7780 at 00-01 and 03-04. Will this recur 24
hours later?

Also confirmed UT Sunday May 1 at 0352 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, about 1
minute into so started circa 0351, S9/+10 but HSNL across IL. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy

** U S A. 1100 kHz, UT Sunday May 1, special ``maintenance`` MW DX
test from WCGA, Woodbine GA, 10 kW ND daytimer: listening first via
Athens GA KiwiSDR, tune-in 0401 as a prayer is ending, then Our
National Anthem. Then slow Morse code ID: VVV VVV VVV DE WCGA - call
repeated six times. Same would replay many more times during the
bihour.

I`m sharing the remote with others in MN, FL, NZ. Fades in & out vs
WTAM Cleveland with ABC News as IDed at 0406. Then YL voice ID
explaining the test, with tones, etc. Then some very fast Morse code,
sweeps, and mixing with voice asking for reports. Once mentioned
serving Jacksonville FL, which is the nearest major city to Woodbine
in the very SE corner of GA.

At 0408 UT May 1, I can hear sweeps upward direct on my R75 with E/W
longwire, WTAM QRM, but not yet on the handheld DX-398 trying to null
WTAM.

At 0413 back on the Athens remote, slow V marker again. 0430, I am now
sharing the Kiwi with Dr Walt in Victoria, and someone in Ukraine,
fast Morse; 0451 slow V marker. 0508, 1 kHz tone, then step-up tones,
V marker again ending with WCGA ID times six. 0535 fast Morse again.

0553, one more try on my DX-398: this time is audible vs WTAM, with V
marker; and on the R75 with more QRM. Tnx for the test!

Studio address is in St Simons Island, which is right on the coast
east of Brunswick, but site is about 25 miles inland, NNW of Woodbine.
It still has a huge sea-gain lobe to the east (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, May 1 at 0628, R. Vanuatu, 3 x 3945, S9/S7 with
choral hymn. 0630 Bislama talk, drumming, some English words mixed in:
Sunday afternoon; Radio Vanuatu; VBTC; one of the longest serving;
CEO. Pronounces Vanuatu like VAHN-ah-too, note. Or VAHN-wah-too (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 830, May 1 at 0620 UT, WCCO is off! As tipped by Mike
Gorniak, MN, NM7X, who says he picked up 1 kW NPR station KSDP, Sand
Point, Aleutian Islands, Alaska while his local was off!! He IDed by
matching to webstream. Me, I`ve got some music and Spanish, at least
two stations mixing, likely KGLA Norco LA and maybe CMJ Cuba, also at
0625 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
