** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 9 at 1420-1425, NO LRA36 signal
into the 4 KiwiSDR remotes in Brasil, so misses another Saturday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [non]. 15265, April 9 at 1456, VP gospel huxter in English,
not TOMBS or YHWH voice. Aoki shows it`s Bible Voice, via Nauen,
GERMANY, Saturdays only at 1400-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9420, S9+20 into UTwente, April 9 after 1600, pop song in
English, ``nobody sings...``, 1610 announcement NOT in Greek. Much
more music variety past 1700, which except for occasional non-Greek
talk atop music bed, like 1619, 1629, 1650, could be mistaken for
Voice of Greece format, and not what you would expect from the ChiCom
targeting their genocide victims in East Turkistan, for Aoki and EiBi
agree it`s CNR13 in Uyghur/Uighur:

9420 1600-1805 CHN CNR 13 Uyg Lingshi 725 1-7
9420 1400-1805 CHN China National Radio 13 UI TWN L
TWN in EiBi means target area Taiwan, really? in UIghur? L = Lingshi.

The music is generally soft, low-key, as if for the insomniax in
occupied Xinjiang -- or the enslaved shift-workers. Still going past
1756 and off 1805* as scheduled. Meanwhile no Greece at all on 9420,
active M-F only circa *1230v-1700v* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, April 9 at 1850, into UTwente, S9+30 open
carrier already on, R. Svoboda modulation starting early about 1858,
suspected site Armenia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SLOVAKIA [non]. 5985, April 9 at 0420, NO signal from RSI into
Virginia SDR, as this WRMI-2 is really off the air despite new
schedule listing R. Eslovaquia at 0400-0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.001, April 9 at 2309, still past 2321, S7 open carrier
with a bit of hum into UTwente, presumably VOT still on air but
failing to modulate any bonus German. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE. UR1 = YP1 webcast, April 9 at 1700 continues in Ukrainian,
no English segment as I hypothesized. Richard Langley:

``I believe that "Ukraine: security issue" is only broadcast once per
day and is likely recorded and inserted into the audio feed around
0000 UT (3 a.m. local time). At least it's not mentioned at other
times on the schedule:

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/schedule/period-items.html?channelID=1&date=2022-04-08
(example for yesterday; any date can be selected). But it might be
that certain hours of the schedule are repeated in whole or in part
during the 24-hour schedule including the one at 0000 UT. This is the
middle of the night after all. -- Richard Langley`` on the WOR iog
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, another direct check of unknown site, April 9 at
1458.5 tune-in, open carrier of S9/+10 is already on. 1459.6, ``You
are listening to VOMK [?], both in Dhivehi and English languages...``
, `Blessed Assurance` theme, ``Welcome to the second ... of Doing Good
... to our Enemies``. But only English, no Dhivehi heard yet. Once
again, the only known RBA frequency after 1500, 11825 in Burmese, is
JBA carrier to here, so RBA site really seems unlikely.

At 1509 it`s S7/S9 into Brisbane SDR as I start another TDOA attempt,
using Hanoi, Kuwait, Melbourne. At 1514 it finishes, displaying a
broad area of SE Australia, -39.35 and +143.05: hardly!

At 1510, trying Bandung, Switzerland, Perth: -62.50, -41.00 which is
in the S Atlantic between S Georgia and LRA36! Hardly2!

At 1524 I try KFS remote at Half Moon Bay, California: VG S9/+10. 1526
goes to music and chops off early at 1527.2* before any
announcements.

Dr Hansjoerg Biener replies on the WOR iog to my previous speculation
about this being via Reach Beyond Australia, which:

``Offers two kinds of schedules:
https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/on-air/#broadcast-schedule
with the languages in alphabetical order:

https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/wp-content/uploads/A22-Language-Edition.pdf
with a focus on programme names:

https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/wp-content/uploads/A22-Listener-Edition.pdf
So the listener edition does not refer to "public" as opposed to
"secret".

Voice of Martyrs is an organisation mainly concerned with supporting
persecuted Christians (and as you already noted there is no religious
freedom to practice any other faith than the state religion Islam). I
do not know in which way the Korean Voice of Martyrs might be
connected to the Voice of Martyrs founded by Richard Wurmbrand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_the_Martyrs
but Wurmbrand's VoM has always been an international organisation with
different kinds of ministry (including broadcasts in German via Radio
Luxemburg 1440 kHz many years ago). I also remember the many spots on
WHRI advertising their work until the end of WHRI.

In the late 90s, there were Christian broadcasts in Dhivehi to the
Maldives via FEBA Radio. In April 1998 FEBA radio started a weekly
programme produced by Back to the Bible in Sri Lanka. The 30 minutes
featured Christian music and a Christian commentary on a general
theme. There was a negative reaction from the Maldives government and
the broadcast was stopped for a while.

»The programmes were taken off air due to the opposition of the
Maldivian authorities which included the detention of Christian
believers and expulsion of several expatriates from the islands.«
(FEBA Radio News Jan-Mar 1999, p.1.).

It restarted in September 1999 and was also on the air in 2000, but I
never researched in which year it was taken off the air (Dr Hansjoerg
Biener 9 April 2022)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28409 USB, April 8 at 2128, PT9SS calling CQ DX, only S3
about equal to noise level and one of only two or three signals
audible on 10m TE. QRZ.com with some photos:

PT9SS Brazil flag Brazil

His fonetix are ``papa tango nine sugar sugar`` --- look, the proper S
going with those P and T is sierra! So many hams mix up their fonetix
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1430 kHz, April 8 at 2105 UT on caradio in Enid I am
finally checking out KALV, in the occasional spots where the powerline
and stoplight noise abates a bit. Two weak signals but the dominant is
country music, not sports or talk, making a SAH of about 5 Hz. By 2127
I`m on home rig with similar reception, slightly better on N/S
internal shortwire: ``Hometown radio station Stereo 1430, KALV; tell a
friend``. No mention of FM; they had a translator on 99.5.

FCC info in NRC DX News as of April 4 reported:

``KALV OK Alva – Granted STA, U1 60/60 (maybe using D1 60), wildfire
damage.``

Its licensed parameters are U4 500 500 psra 500 per NRC AM Log.

Among all the wildfires around OK, I missed hearing about KALV when it
happened, but searching on wildfire Alva leads right to several
versions of March 21-22, including:
https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-wildfire-alva-destroys-radio-station/39495071

Own website does not load properly
https://kalvradio.com/?page_id=72

But coverage maps are also at
https://radio-locator.com/info/KALV-AM

Day pattern is slightly pulled in from the east, presumably to protect
sportstalk KTBZ Tulsa but which is more like ESE, and Enid is more
like SE --- but KALV has never had much of a signal in Enid. Distance
is only 70 km = 43 statute miles.

Night pattern quite different, very pulled in from the NE, presumably
to protect St Louis, the 50/5 kW station whose license was canceled
two years ago and which I think is no longer on the air, most of the
KALV night signal broadly from NW to SW to SE.

So the question is, are KALV still running only 60 watts STA? That
much non-direxional might be better here than the old higher-power
direxional facility. What kind of antenna now? Stations under duress
sometimes even use longwires to transmit. Or maybe the towers survived
unlike the transmitter (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, Sat April 9 at 0500.6-0507.6, UR1 via WRMI
with now reliable English segment `Ukraine: Security Issues` leading
of course with the RuSSian airstrike on the train platform killing
many; VG S9+15 into Maryland remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 15580, April 8 at 2133, S3-S8 of VOA presumably `Music
Time in Africa` scheduled Fridays at 2105 tho the DJockesse has been
unaware of this airing; Via BOTSWANA, 100 kW at 350 degrees. And not
perceptibly off-frequency. The best we can do in A-seasons, lacking GB
11720 in B-seasons this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: confirmed just in
time at 0158 UT Sat April 9 the 0130 on WRMI 9395, S5/S6 into UTwente
which I happen to have running after Ukraine check at 0000 on 1386.

Also confirmed UT Sat April 9 at 0400 on R Angela via WBCQ 4790, S9+15
into Maryland SDR.

Once again there are uteblaaps QRMing, and I time them occurring on a
regular schedule other than exactly 4:00 minutes apart as last time.
Now there are two different cycles each exactly 3:00 minutes apart:
one at top of minutes 0415, 0418, 0424, 0427; and another at about :45
seconds past these minutes: 0416, 0419, 0425, 0428. (Assume I missed
the ones at 0421, 0422+.) I leave the same remote running after WBCQ
off at 0430* --- and no more blaaps! I had always assumed this was
some kind of external QRM, but now I am forced to wonder if they were
also coming out of a defective 4790 WBCQ transmitter? OR, if external,
they were not coincidental, accidental, but deliberately to annoy ---
hardly jam --- WBCQ? I have not been paying much attn to the SDR
waterfalls, but I do spot some rectangles a few kHz above and below
4790 line which could represent the blaaps. But there is no time
calibration on vertical scale of the H2Ofalls. Curious. Next:

Gives date right at the start! So we know it`s new, altho with same
old far-right rants. Angela`s mike is on already this week. Angela has
been picking up tix out horseback-riding, so Allan grooms her body?
Plugs great Trump rallies every Saturday: Trump has got to come back
``to fix everything`` --- they axually believe that. Both require
reading glasses, where are they? Allan is a Man of Science: believes
in vax, not in max. Two print mags he has subscribed since highschool
are Star & Telescope, and Scientific American. Fast fwd:

By 0030 he`s amid James Careless` Radio World article about BBC at 90.
Approves of Elon Musk who has bought controlling interest in Twitter,
so will promote Free Speech. ? I thought it was less than controlling
interest? 0038 Allan remarx that the Russians are jamming Ukrainian
broadcasts. Really? Capture and/or destroy transmitters like 549 kHz,
but jamming?? Uncle Bill`s comments about radio being a medium which
bonds with listeners, unlike internet. 0048 datestamp as 8th of April
YOOLF 2022, presumably trimulcasting u.o.s. Next month will be doing a
lot of transmitter work, both SuperStition and Classic; also needs to
get 2 MW generator hooked up. 0056 decrying perceived ``war on

** COLOMBIA. The ``it`` in my last report was of course:
La Voz de tu Conciencia = The Voice of Thy Conscience:

``6010, April 7 at 0700, JBA signal in Spanish? Yes, later April 7 at
2230, Rafael Rodríguez reported it reactivated after a long time with
preaching by Stendal, NA at 2300; and RR is the 100% e-QSL manager to
rafaelcoldx@yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2133)``

6010, April 8 at 0705, heard LVC again, better S8/S9 with song in
Spanish. No, nothing on 5910, its former sibling station, Alcaraván
Radio. Might that revive too from Puerto Lleras? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9778-9833, April 8 at 0613, approx. range of bleed from
wall-of-noise jamming against nothing on 9805, i.e. plus/minus 27/28
kHz, overkill. Always incompetent and unconcerned about collateral
damage, the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [and non]. 6030, April 8 at 1559.5, Artists for Peace
special event, live benefit concert from Königswusterhausen, via
AUSTRIA on this frequency, VG S9+35/40 into UTwente, much better than
// 9580 via Nauen. Opening with orchestra and chorus but not the
now-familiar Ukrainian national anthem. Huge variety of music and
performers, instruments, with lots of commentary mostly in German, but
occasional Ukrainian. One English heard at 1656 about power of music,
with frequencies. 1646 accordion. 1747 a Russian pianist with a
flutist. Publicity said there would be 31 performers from seven
nations. Could hardly fit all those into only two hours scheduled,
1600-1800. Both continue past 1800, but those tuned to 9580 find it
soon off. 6030 keeps on going as I listen via UTwente. 1832 YL in
Ukrainian; 1840 finally wrapping up in German, 1842 Ukrainian, 1842.7*
uncovering something else weakly on 6030. See
https://www.kulturwerk.info/Classic-meets-Jazz-694265.html
https://museum.funkerberg.de/benefizkonzert/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Fri Apr 8 at 1659, S9+45 unGreek music with
heavy reverb, very exotic so presumably China already? No, must have
been ERT since this chops off at 1700 uncovering what is really a
China minority service on 9420.002, S9+30/40 into UTwente (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. (5910), we`ve lost track of the weekly Friday-only
clandestine at 1730-1800v of Channel 1 TV, which had been regular in
B21; but in A22, Romania has overtaken that slot, in Serbian. Did Ch 1
move to another frequency and/or time due to DST in Iran? Lots of luck
finding anything about radio, let alone SW, even if converted to
English, at https://ch1.cc/

I`m far too busy at 1730 April 8 to go on a random hunt for it by
tuning, but I do check the latest HFCC for any likely-looking
replacement from TAChkent site at 1730 on day 6: No fits. Then I
search on all the broadcasts starting at 1730 from all sites: no fits
either. So is the SW relay of this still going anywhere? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 918 kHz, Fri April 8 at 1915, Spanish PSA from OMS = WHO,
1916 `Counterspin` on IRRS via AM Italia, not only on MW 1323 kHz
Villa Estense, but reactivated on 918, which is much better with no
QRM into nearby Noale SDR, since Madrid 918 has gone dark. See also
USA [and non] WOR monitoring. Counterspin is chopped off only halfway
thru at 1930 for IRRS Milan ID and Feature Story News. Airing
fragments of programs is the most annoying thing about IRRS even when
not done to WOR.

1935 joins VOA News rather than `Flashpoint Ukraine` which follows VOA
news at 1930 on WRMI 15770. 1940, 918 into music; 1945 American PSA
for brushing teeth. 1946 starts `Shortwave Report` with Dan Roberts;
will it be halved as well? He starts with Sputnik Radio, then to be
NHK Radio Japan, Radio Habana Cuba --- seems Dan is still stuck on the
same old stations. Shortwave! indeed, Sputnik is not on SW, but
recorded from web probably like the others. Dan says he has now
completed 25 years of the `SW` Report. Starts NHK segment but has QRM
from Turkey`s `Feeling Supreme` theme! So maybe really from SW, or did
IRRS do that? 1958 anyway SWR chopped off by IRRS for more VOA News!
across hourtop; 2003 Feature Story News again. 2007 songs. Then
another talk program about pavilions, from UN? 2020 Spanish PSA about
COVID19/UNESCO/OMS, more songs until 2030 ID with PO Box address
otherwise discouraged, and WOR 2133.

Alfredo Cotroneo replies: ``Glen[n], There are and will be occasional,
unscheduled, tests on 918, but we are more interested in propagation
outside Italy into Central and Northern Europe, including the war
zones. 1323 is doing better than 918 for long time propagation. Good
news that the Spanish station in not interfering now on 918, but they
may come back, who knows? Alfredo `` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15785, Fri April 8 at 1508 in routine bandscan, I
discover anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH on new frequency, the
signature vocalizations of Josiah needing no explicit ID. No problem
from the 1 kW DRM in Germany allegedly 24h on 15780-15790 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15529.9, April 8 at 1509, JBA carrier off-frequency, not
taking time to measure it more precisely. HFCC at 1500-1600 has AWR in
Kxf language via Trincomalee. Kxf?? Aoki abbreviates it Kar. EiBi KA
which means Karen, as in the Myanmar minority; not scheduled as such
in WRTH 2022 for B-21 season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: 5985 WRMI-2 still
off the air at 0330 April 8, since NHK Spanish at 0400 quit after
March 31. I did not check after 0400 but the WRMI skedgrid now shows
R. Eslovaquia = Spanish from System B on WRMI-2 at 0400-0430. Yet the
System B program grid below, mainly about 9955 does not, only Prague
on 9955. The System D program schedule for the 0330-0400 segment on
``5985`` still appears with WOR and various other programs during the
week. Contradixion after contradixion.

Missed checking Friday April 8 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear WOR?

Confirmed Friday April 8 at 1815 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, but
even at nearby Noale SDR, under QRM from Romania in German. I also
check 918 kHz, and surprise2, it`s also on the air with WOR, and much
better with no QRM as R. Inter, Madrid has gone silent again. AFAIK
there has been no publicity from IRRS about 918 still in use. I had
not even sought it for several weeks, assuming it was gone once 1323
had replaced it. But without QRMadrid, 918 would be better to use than
1323. Also checked LW 207 kHz, with some music not // but presumably
not Iceland. See also ITALY!

Of course, WOR also on 7290 via Bulgaria from 1815 Friday VG into
UTwente, and also JBA on 14580 second harmonic vs RTTY on plus side.

Also confirmed Friday April 8 at 2030 UT on AM Italia, equally VG
S9+5/10 at Noale on both 918 & 1323. Next:

** U S A. 9950 & 9960, April 8 at 0616, JBA carriers, parasitic spurs
out of 9955 WRMI which is S9+20. Difficult to distinguish any audio on
9950 & 9960 with huge splash out of 9955 itself. And some poor 2-way
USB is trying to communicate about 9960.2. But there`s more:

9965, April 8 at 0618, a further spur with TOMBS audio JBA // 9955.
And a matching JBA carrier on 9945. Something`s odd at Okeechobee
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, April 8 at 1502, another English sermon about
``doing good`` from Voice of Martyrs, Korea, S7/S9 direct. Pastor Tim,
who is a WOR iog member, acknowledges as a test for Maldives, but site
is confidential. How about Reach Beyond Australia, Kununurra?:

PRO:
RBA has not replied to my inquiry.
They have 3 x 100 kW transmitters
Only one is on their public schedule after 1400

https://www.reachbeyond.org.au/wp-content/uploads/A22-Listener-Edition.pdf
Since this is a ``listener edition``, that implies there is another
internal edition with secret broadcasts not to be acknowledged
RBA already carries VOMK in Korean at another time
RBA has many broadcasts for S Asia before 1400 with suitable antennas
It`s a clear shot across the Indian Ocean, ideal distance
Puts a good signal into North America otherwise tho never beamed
thisaway

CON:
Checked the one RBA at 1520 April 8, to Myanmar on 11825, only JBA
carrier
Why would one VOMK broadcast on RBA be public and another secret?
RBA has not replied to my direct inquiry
There are still plenty of other possible sites. Everyone invited to
investigate with TDOA.

Why would this Korea-based ministry go after Maldivians? Sunni Islam
is the only allowed religion as explained in great detail here:

The partner station may be unwilling to risk offending their own
Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
