** BOTSWANA. UNIDENTIFIED [originally]. 15580, April 10 at 2214
routine bandscan direct encounters something very odd here --- excited
colloquial Portuguese, a silly ballgame, like futebol? But the
announcer keeps mentioning Angola, Luanda, and basquetebol! Quickly
rule out Brasil as this has Luso accent, and RNA is musicking on
11780. Of course, Portugal, Angola and all former colonies quit
international SW many years ago, so some site hired for a special
event?

Google on Angola basquetebol and you quickly find that BKB is a Really
Big Deal in Angola and some other African countries. Can`t find
anything about a championship or any game right now, and it`s a bit
late in the evening over there if this really be live. It`s S5/S7
direct and with some hum. 2225 mentions Africa do Sul, so RSA might be
the opposing team.

By 2232 I`ve switched to remotes: no good at RSA; poor at UTwente but
SAM as -9v Hz offset; Best at Missouri near me, S6/S9. At 2245 Bonaire
only gets S4/S6. Then I run TDOA using TWR Boa Vista, TWR RGV, and
WB8CXO, which is in Munroe Falls, Ohio. ``Most probable`` according to
that: -17.50 South, +24.00 east, pinpointed to Sesheke, Zambia. That
is on the very southern border next to the Namib strip, with northern
edge of Botswana just beyond that.

The only conceivable SW site anywhere near there on 15580 is USAGM
Moepeng Hill, which is in eastern BOTSWANA. It`s normally scheduled
until 2200* in VOA English, so apparently co-opted after that for the
big game. But was this unorthodox usage OKayed in Washington???

I notified the WOR iog a few minutes before 2300 to be alert for
anything identifiable at hourtop. But shortly after that was posted,
programodulation stopped at 2257, for just a big hum. That stopped at
2257.6, but the carrier was still on, registering -10 Hz offset, until
it`s cut off at 2300.6*. Ideas?

Ron Howard finds that VOA is heavily involved in this, at least
online, with a 2.5-hour audio file, but it`s in English:
Cape Town (S. Africa) vs Petro de Luanda (Angola)
https://www.voanews.com/a/6519163.html

I never heard anything hinting this was VOA programming, but of course
it does still have a Portuguese-to-Africa service between 1630 and
1830, much of it via Botswana site but on different frequencies.

Then Hansjörg Biener found this from 11 months ago:

``VOA named radio broadcast partner of new Basketball Africa League

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Voice of America is now the radio broadcast partner
of the new 12-team Basketball Africa League, a partnership of the
National Basketball Association and the International Basketball
Federation.

VOA radio will simulcast BAL broadcasts in English and French and
provide play-by-play coverage in Bambara, Kinyarwanda, Wolof, and
Portuguese for the games involving teams from Mali, Rwanda, Senegal,
Angola, and Mozambique, respectively. The 2021 season tips off May 16
from Kigali Arena in Rwanda, the site of all 26 scheduled BAL games.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the league postponed its original 2020
launch date, as well as its plan to play games across the continent.

“We are excited to extend the NBA’s global reach to an even wider
African audience,” says Acting VOA Director Yolanda López. “With the
influx of more African players in the NBA and through the additional
exposure of the African Basketball League, it has truly become a major
international amateur and professional sport. VOA is proud to play an
important role in this partnership.”

VOA broadcasts will air on more than 30 VOA-owned and operated FM
radio stations in 16 African countries and will be available to VOA’s
extensive network of commercial and public radio stations across
Africa. VOA Africa websites in 15 languages will carry game highlights
and links to live radio broadcasts in English and French``

And Mauno Ritola replied on the WOR iog, about this year:
``Coming shortwave transmissions:
Friday 15 April: 2030-2300 6195 & 15580 kHz
Saturday 16 April: 1700-1930 5940 & 15580 kHz``
Looks like those would pre-empt regular VOA broadcasts; in Portuguese?
and/or English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, April 10 at 2213, RHC Brazuguese is just barely
modulated; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, April 10 at 2221, RHC S5-S6 of dead air in French.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, April 11 at 0622, RHC at S9 of dead air; only other is
6100, S9+10 of undermodulated English. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, April 11 at 2138, S9 of humbuzz cutting off and on, no
programming. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, April 11 at 2132 and later, no sign of R. Cairo in
English, nor anything around ex-9890, 9900, 9910; not any 9440 even
unto UTwente at 2202 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 18140 USB, April 11 at 2130, XE1RK, VG S9, the SSOB, no
doubt sporadic E at almost 2 megameters, contact with KI5KI and
quickly on to KG5LWL in Arkansas. QRZ.com:

He doesn`t want to QSL SWLs; fortunately I don`t want his QSL either:

``QSL´s two way direct only. Please include a valid IRC or US 2.00
with a self addressed envelope. I can´t use foreign stamps. No eQSL or
LoTW yet. Due to the pandemic I am not able to go to my post office to

Mexico, they only deliver. Sorry for the delay but be sure that I will
send you my QSL in return as soon as possible. 73 and stay safe!``

21272 USB, April 11 at 2159, quick check of 14m finds only one signal,
Spanish failing to ID; and nothing on 10m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15785 AM, April 11 at 2129, JBA carrier at first,
but bet it`s Station YHWH again as I discovered it on same frequency a
few days ago. By 2135 it`s surged to S6/S7 with Josiah railing against
corporate banksters. 2143 `Days of Hard Life` themesong, 2145 clear ID
and says time is about 3:46 pm PST, as if live. Trouble is, PST is not
now observed anywhere so is he in never-never land? If he means PDT,
the minute is about right but the hour would be 2:+. 3:46 at 2146 UT =
UT -6 zone = MDT or CST, duh. So is he really somewhere in a Pacific
zone, or is this clever deception?

Still good copy so I listen for a while, paraphrasing but close: There
is no other besides me x3, sez Yahweh. All religions have failed
horribly, and so have all governments. Why is he buying so much gas to
run his generator, putting fumes into his RV? All preachers are liars,
Christians, Moslems; there will be no rapture. ``Now going dark`` and
pulls plug abruptly at 2149.4* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, April 11 at 2157, REE with hum in Arabic, stronger
than // 11685; while 17855 >> // 11940 is in Spanish. By 2205 they
have combined, all in English with 17855 best via Virginia and later
Maryland SDRs at S9+15/25, Mexican author of book `Privacy is Power`
is speaking; 2222 to some Rachmaminov music. By 2300, 17855 has faded
way down to S4/S5, yet 3 hours of N American service remain. They
should really descend to lower band by 2300, like 9690 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA [and non]. 15529.875, April 11 at 1523, JBA music and
talk past 1530, offfrequenciness attracting my attention on bandscan,
again AWR Karen via Trincomalee at 1500-1600; like my April 8 log when
I did not get it measured. VP propagation today, yet this trans-polar
makes it while 15745-15750-15755 WINB hybrid DRM noise is much
attenuated and nothing strong on 19m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 9830, April 11 at 2201, nothing but S5/S6 of Chinese
even unto UTwente instead of huge VOT English to N America. Nor later
chex during hour. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler and/or awry
at Ankara. CC would be CNR1, Beijing 572 site, at 2025-0100 as well as
earlier blox (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 10 from 2000.8 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, again active on both
918 & 1323 kHz from Villa Estense. 1323 is clear S9+10, but 918 has
some QRMusic underneath causing a slow SAH adding up to S9+10. Inter,
Madrid, is supposedly gone from 918; checking Sevilla SDR I hear
neither. What else is on 918? Superpowers from Cambodia, China, India;
more proximately, 50 kW Iran, 30 kW Nigeria, 0 kW Egypt 50 & 100 watts
in Holland; something in Greece per WRTH 2022. Tuned in earlier at
1951 a music show dedicated to Ukraine.

Not confirmed Sunday April 10 at 2230 on WRMI 5950 as I was distracted
by the 15580 Portuguese basketball; did anyone hear this WOR airing?

Confirmed UT Monday April 11 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
Missouri SDR.

UT Monday April 11 at 0259 tune-in to Area 51 via S9/+10 WBCQ 6160-, I
hear the last few minutes of WOR 2133! Must have started way early
circa 0230, or some kind of miscue. But after quick ID, WOR 2133
starts over at 0302. Still going at 0329 check so presumably played to
completion, as thunder calls for me to get off. Last week I heard dead
air before WOR should have finished. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW
2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed]
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB [new]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455 to WNW

** U S A. 7570, April 11 at 0627, this WRMI is normally a TOMBS
blowtorch aimed NW right at us, but now it is remarkably weak, less
than 7730 even, aimed NE, and also with some noise, hard to tell
whether internal or external. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12050, April 11 at 241, WEWN Spanish S5/S9 with big hum.
Wiggle that patchcord! something`s ironic at Irondale (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 11620, April 11 at 1500, VOM Korea still in
English, sermon about the Word of God, S9/S6 direct. 1521 long pause,
resumed; did not listen to whole broadcast whether there were any
Dhivehi; 1529 ``Thanks for listening to Maldives service of VOM
Korea`` [paraphrased maybe not exact quote].

Instead of going off at 1530, stayed on and switched to Arabic. I
asked, can anyone ID this programming if not yet transmitter site?
1539 into Christian-sounding choral music briefly. At 1551 putting VG
S8/S9+15 signal into Kuwait remote where there was reverb and carrier
offset +12 Hz; but poor into New Delhi. 1555 mentioned ``Filipin``. At
1556, ``Laudetur Iesus Christus`` gave it away as VR, tho cut off at
1557 before any IS. Transmitter break until *1559 back on and then VR
opening in French as sked. HFCC shows exactly same parameters for
both, so why the break? Azimuth 250 which means NW Africa, yet CIRAF
zones as 38E/39W = Egypt and Palestine. Another anomaly. Ron Howard
points out that VR Arabic at 1530 should be // 15595; unchecked in
time.

Altho SMG relays some other broadcasters, even VOA and vice versa,
violating Separation Of Church And State, the FMO sked
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbyfmo.php?seas=A22&fmor=VAT
shows nothing but VR transmissions, like the separate Broadcasters
schedule.

At 1530 I did not detect any transmitter break or change in signal
level as if VOMK/M were from same site. Need to monitor very carefully
the 1530 transition going forward. But same SMG site is anything but
certain.

BTW, my previous email to the announced maldives address at VOM Korea
bounced, as limited to known white-listed contacts; not a good way to
hear from new listeners (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

A-22 SCHEDULES

Linx to several varieties are on the WOR homepage
http://www.worldofradio.com

Look for A22; some not yet updated still go to B21, or even A21. The
*final* free major WRTH updater covering A22 is expected in early May

** CUBA. 5040, April 10 at 0153, S9+10/20 of dead air in French from
RHC, where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5055, April 10 at 0153, JBA carrier. Certainly not Australia
at this hour. N American pirate has been here recently; but could be
leapfrog mixing product of 5025 Rebelde over 5040 RHC another 15 kHz
beyond. YES, recheck at 0614, now there is enough music audio on S7/S8
to make it // 5025, both of which must be from same site, Bauta.
However, no reverse leap can be detected on open 5010. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060 & 6165, April 10 at 0612 are by chance the two remaining
RHC English frequencies, while 5040 is still on in Spanish.
6060 at S9+20/30 reads weaker than 6165 at S9+40, but modulation is
slightly louder on 6060. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341 MCW kHz, April 10 at 0622 UT, ND beacon EI
at Woodring Airport is OFF again, as I can copy only OIN in Oberlin
KS. I listen intently for at least a minute, but no trace of . ..
which was amazingly weak anyway for 25? watts a few km away. EI had
been consistently heard active since last reactivation March 30, after
a long absence since early August.

341 MCW kHz, April 10 at 1815 UT almost local noon, EI is again on,
and audible every octosecond (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SWAZILAND. 11879.971, April 10 at 1456, off-frequency open carrier;
1458 music box IS and ID ``TWR from Eswátini``, twice or thrice, 1500
into African language, music. Note how they pronounce the country,
stress on the A just like in Swáziland, not Eswatíni as I and others
had been guessing. They should know. Somali scheduled 1500-1530, plus
another 15 until 1545 on Sundays. This hour is squeezed between
Romania`s and China`s 11880 usage. I would not be surprised if it`s
long-path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 10 at 0501-0507, YP1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` another English segment of war news, preparing for
great attack on Donbass, etc., very well done summary, sufficient
direct to NW tho aimed NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, April 10 at 1816 UT, FBY, ND beacon at
FairBurY, Nebraska. This is the only one commonly audible from a
second-adjacent state in full daytime. Fairbury is in SE NE some 15 km
from the KS border; 422 km or 262 stmi from Enid. That is, 17 km per
watt or 10.5 miles per watt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday April 10
at 0030 on WRMI 7780: S8/S9+5 into Knoxville SDR. Now aimed 222
degrees so how is this log periodic off the back in Europe, which
would be 42 degrees, close to the direct-to-Europe antennas centred on
44? S7-S8 very poor in noise level. Also checked Bonaire to the south:
S5/S8.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 10 at 0323 just started about 0322 on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+10 groundwave into nearby SDR. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy
2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [to be canceled? still Apr 3]
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW

** U S A [and non]. 4790, April 9 at 0352 during R. Angela with `Uncle
Bill`s Melting Pot` on WBCQ, I am alert for the ``uteblaap`` QRM,
listening via Maryland remote --- and there it is, 2-second bursts
every 3 minutes near top of these minutes: 0352, 0355, 0358. Also
separate 3-minute cycles from about 0359.7; but WBCQ signs off circa
0400. Now will the blaaps continue? Yes, so they are external to `BCQ
and rather weaker tonight than before. The first cycle still noted at
0401, 0404, 0407; and the second at 0402.7. On the waterfall some of
these small sharp images appear right on 4790, such as the 0404;
others a few kHz above or below. Those may have been within the
audible bandwidth when hearing WBCQ tuned to 4790. But who or what is
doing this, and why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, April 10 at 0616, WRMI-4 is back, with TOMBS. Missing
ever since first noted March 31; I have never seen nor found any
explanation of why. Also resumed is parasitic JBA spur on 4975. At
S9+30 subjectively 4980 seems stronger than before, antenna change?
Still allegedly 160 degrees, same as 9955 & 5800 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 990, April 10 at 0447 UT, Morse code ID barely copied as
WWKY, direct into my R75 via E/W longwire which happens to be aimed
close to KY already; but lots of QRM, led by CBW to the north side
with Debussy at 0444.

1150, April 10 at 0452 UT, 1 kHz tone with brief breaks; 0454, VVV VVV
VVV DE WMST ID marker, 0457 sweeps upward. For this I`m on the DX-398
in order to null KSAL Salina KS to the north which otherwise dominates
at night here with major lobe thisaway.

So I managed to DX both direct; tnx for the tests. 990 WWKY is in
Winchester KY running 1 kW ND day power; 1150 WMST in Mount Sterling
KY with 2.5 kW ND day power. Earlier, I listened to them both via the
Lexington KY SDR to familiarize myself with what they were sending.
Surprised it was not maxed out until I logged on, already in use by
someones in California, New Zealand, and Ukraine! Glad one can still
do some non-DX listening there. The NZer is Dene Lynneberg, editor of
an NZ DX Times column about SDR DXing specifically, segregated from
direct DX logs. My notes:

Starting at 0415 April 10 on 990: tone here stronger than on 1150.
0416 upward tones, jingle ID, more tones; S9 with some storm noise
from the Atlantic. 0418 singing ID and sweeps upward; 0419 phone off
hook pulses, more upsweeps. 0420 VVV VVV VVV DE WWKY [8 times, good!]
back to VVVs. 0426 phone off hook, YL full WWKY test announcement
explaining it. Are 1150 and 990 separate or //?

1150, at 0421 upsweeps while 990 is in VVVs. I quit web at 0439 and
over to my direct radios, as above. Did not record anything, so
despite all this detail, cannot get QSLs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, April 10 at 0631, KVOH is still on past nominal 0600*
with praise music, not the usual bigsig but S7/S9 with Doppler flutter
as the ionosphere is disturbed. Same signal strength and Dfl even
affects 9955 WRMI. No wonder: K index of 7! WWV reported at 0600:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 09 April follow.
Solar flux 107 and estimated planetary A-index 19.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0600 UTC on 10 April was 7.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been strong.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3 level occurred.
Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be strong.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3 level are expected.``

3945kHz, R. Vanuatu, Vanuatu; 06/04, 0905 – 0913 male talks. Until 10/04 (checks at 0830-0910), this was the last transmission received on 3945, 5040 or 7260; very poor (LOB-Brasil).

6010kHz, R. La Voz de Tu Conciencia, Colombia; 07/04, 0903 – 0907 male talks. By the generosity of absence of R. Inconfidência (6010kHz), caught a very poor, fady, unreadable  signal (LOB-Brasil).
