** ANGOLA. 4949.732, April 1 at 0132, JBA carrier, presumed RNA on signature off-frequency - checked just as I am mentioning on 9395 during WOR that Ron Howard had found them missing. Also an even weaker carrier close to 4950.0, likely AIR Srinagar, Kashmir --- neither in HFCC but in Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 328 kHz, April 1 at 0617, dash and YTL from NDB beacon at Big Trout Lake, Ont., 1000 watts. Really remote, fly-in only in NW Ont., beyond Pickle Lake, almost 90 west, 54 north. 2031 km = 1262 miles from here. Also got three de USA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 7355, April 1 at 0042, wall-of-noise jamming against no MartÃ, which seems jamfree on 7335 // 7365. Way to go, incompetent DCJC on first day of new season! HFCC A-19 registrations for IBB in Spanish from Greenville-B, which mean precisely nothing but RM: 23-03 7365 00-07 7335 00-12 6030 03-05 7435 05-07 7365 07-10 5980 10-13 9805 10-14 7335 12-14 7365 13-20 13605 14-20 11860 M-F 14-24 11930 20-24 9565 We sincerely hope this non-classified info assist DCJC to jam correct frequencies and no others! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6165, April 1 at 0049, RHC English is instead S9+20 of dead air; while 6000 has undermodulated music at S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11670, April 1 at 0100, RHC news theme for Spanish is S9 but JBM, much softer than 11700, 11760, 11840 and its 11830/11850 spurs. Spain is now scheduled on 11670 until 2300 so will those ever collide? Not sure when RHC start, where something always be wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6165, April 1 at 0544, RHC English survey during music: this one is S9-S6 and JBM; 6100 S9+10 suptorted; 6060 S9+20 slightly distorted and Algerian Qur`anRM is gone! 6000 S9/+10 JBM and distorted; 5040 S9+30 about like 6060. Rechecking at 0606+, 6165 JBM; 6100 undermod; 6000 OFF; 6060 & 5040 both with CCI --- no it`s not, rather undercurrent during voice-over translation, self-QRM! When will SW stations ever learn to fade the VO down completely once briefly established?? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 4764.999, April 1 at 0327, R. Progreso VG signal measured here with margin of error of 2 Hz at most. And it matches 5025 BFO pitch. Anker Petersen, Denmark has been reporting this as 4765.02, such as March 24 at 0330, but I have never noticed them that far off in BFO 1-kHz-step bandscans. Some of his other logs such as Eritrea and Mali appear to be measured +.01 or +.02 too high. Please check receiver calibration vs WWV or the like (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ERITREA. 7180.024, April 1 at 0325, JBA carrier, presumed VOBME, but nothing on other channel 7140+; nor still inactive Somaliland 7120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** IRAN [non]. 12005, April 1 at 1418, SW Asian music S7-S8, from Radio Farda, eastward from Woofferton at 13-18 (also Lampertheim at 11-13) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN [non]. 9625, April 1 at 1420, Japanese lesson for English with arpeggios, as NHK 1400-1430 is now here, due west from PALAU. Ignore all the South Africa listings on 9625 still in HFCC A-18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MALI. 5995.000V, April 1 at 0550, R. Mali is already on with song of lament in French, S9 and best heard yet. 0556 apparent switch to IS repeating; 0557 military-band NA, sign-on in French I copy partially vs distraxions, including ``Ici l`Office de Radiodiffusion TÃlÃvision du Mali, ÃmÃttant de Bamako,`` and decades-outdated frequency list including 4783 and another on 60m! And 92 MHz FM (four-score and twelve). With BFO, frequency wavers very slightly. By 0602 is in non- French, probably Bambara. Anker Petersen, Denmark, has reported this on 5995.02, such as March 25 at 2120, but again I think his measurement is way off. Please calibrate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. 5980, April 1 at 1416, RNZI is poor S5-S7 on new frequency, bad for us. Maybe usable somewhat from *1259 if the Cuban jammers be turned off in time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6889-USB, March 31 at 2227, folk/rock song at S3-S4, not rechecked until 0038 April 1 when it`s off. Already at 2232* per several logs of this pirate as Evergreen Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52472.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. 7420, April 1 at 0043, Balkan music, good S9+20; at first imagined Greece ex-9420 or mistake? EPT is usually silent early UT Mondays; in fact this is the RRI Romanian service now, as spoken at 0054 and // 9790. 7375, April 1 at 0044, RRI English now here giving schedule during a mailbag, much stronger than // 6040 at 0048 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also SAO TOME 6080 ** SAO TOME [and non]. 6080+, April 1 at 0548, VOA news magazine in English, S9+20 but with fast SAH CCI. We already know Pinheira is the one off-frequency, but now the collider is RRI in English, 300 kW to W Europe and USWard at 0530-0600, also French 0500-0530, while VOA runs 04-07. How is this acceptable to HFCC?? Surprised RRI be the understation, but that may change with conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 9830, March 31 at 2225, VOT in English, S8-S9 with flutter, back on always-A-season frequency to North America at 22 instead of 5960 at 23 in Bs. No RTTY now, but 9830 fully occupied earlier in day: we can only hope it will always quit by 2158. Will Emirler knock this one off to 9830.7 at times too? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K. 7300, April 1 at 0040, sounds like BBCWS in science magazine, now about LEO satellites, S9/+10. 0058 wrap up `Science in Axion`, 0059.5* chop off. HFCC shows Woofferton eastward this hour only. Offers a decent chance to hear in its long-abandoned N American target area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 245 kHz, April 1 at 0612 UT, ND beacon FS is JBA! Is at Rock, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 400 watts per dxinfocentre. LW storm noise level is unusually low so I take advantage for some sleepytime beepery. 293 kHz, April 1 at 0615 UT, ND beacon FBY, which is 25 watts from Fairbury, Nebraska. 329 kHz, April 1 at 0618, ND beacon PMV, 25 watts from Plattsmouth, Nebraska (a flood area, I think). Also logged one from CANADA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reports: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 7265 CUSB, March 31 https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/04/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on.html 1031-1100 on 7265 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sun, weak`` Confirmed Sunday March 31 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, poor S5-S7. Also confirmed UT Monday April 1 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+20 (and still not on 5950). Also confirmed UT Monday April 1 after 0230 on WRMI 7780, fair S9/+10. Also confirmed UT Monday April 1 from 0301 on Area 51 webcast; and at 0323 on WBCQ 5130.41, VP and not // 3264.9. Also confirmed UT Monday April 1 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, JBA. Next: Oops, missed checking new time 1800 Monday April 1 on IRRS 7290 Romania; but another SWL program VG via UTwente at 1840 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 7730 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions] 2030 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5950 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v 0000 UT Thursday WRMI 7730 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [it is unclear when 1976 will start airing, as 1975 has unavoidably begun 4 days late; stations please replay latest available edition if necessary] Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490.15v, UT Mon April 1 at 0045, sacred choral music, S9+10 on `Encore` from Radio Tumbril via WBCQ. Brice Avery in Edinburgh is disappointed in lack of listener response to his new WBCQ broadcasts, in the form of QSL requests. Lack of any listing on the outdated WBCQ program schedule, nor any publicity on its website, surely do not help. Still showing for UT Mon 00-01 on 7490 is `Shoot the Darn Messenger`. He welcomes music requests and has had much better response to broadcasts via Channel 292 in Germany. Let`s show him some support! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Area 51 webcast flowed on, UT Mon Apr 1 at 0400 after HRI and WBCQ 5130v presumably closed down --- with `Church of the Subgenius Hour of Slack`, reveling in how many F-bombs could be exploded on internet only. I had thought that show was a bit more erudite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5050, April 1 at 0050, WWRB reactivated on A-frequency with politico-gospel huxters at S9+40. Likely the only frequency in use, no more 3185 or 3215; unless some Ugandans give it another try (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7505v, April 1 at 0541, WRNO is S5-S9 of dead air; in Chinese or English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST Note: there are NO April Fool items in this report! Note: the above note is not an April Fool item. Etc., etc. This report despatched at 1854 UT April 1

WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULE UPDATED FOR A-19, DST
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update, which also concludes a comprehensive review of the various links started last week. http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Australia - Reach Beyond: Updated links to new A19 frequency and programme schedules 2) Morocco - Medi 1: Updated link to live stream 3) Nigeria - VoN: Update to link to home page 4) Taiwan - PCJ Radio: Removed link to home page (as seems no longer existing); updated links to on-demand/archived programmes 5) Ukraine - RUI: Updated link to live stream 6) UK - EMR: Now shown as an archived website (ie no longer active). Tom Taylor, RIP. 7) Update to UT offset notations for Croatia, Germany, Greece, Romania, Spain, and USA Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be in late April. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, March 30, DXLD) ** CUBA [and non]. 13605, March 31 at 1401, Radio Martà is S9+20 unjammed, having just made the totally predictable A-season switch from 13820, where the wall of noise remains. Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11880, March 31 at 1425, China Plus relay in English on NF for A-19, ex-15700; S9+20 and somewhat undermodulated as required. Earlier, Wolfgang Bueschel had accumulated the A-19 sked for these relays, via QuivicÃn site: 0000-0100 5990 QVC 250 ND NAM Spanish 0000-0100 9810 QVC 250 160 SAM Spanish 0100-0200 9580 QVC 250 10 NAM English 0200-0300 9580 QVC 250 10 NAM Chinese 0300-0400 9790 QVC 250 305 WNAM English 0400-0400 9790 QVC 250 305 WNAM Cantonese 1200-1300 9570 QVC 250 10 NAM Cantonese 1300-1400 9570 QVC 250 10 NAM English 1400-1500 11880 QVC 250 305 WNAM English 1500-1600 11880 QVC 250 305 WNAM English 2300-2400 5990 QVC 250 ND NAM English 2300-2400 13650 QVC 250 135 SAM Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. 9630, March 31 at 0553, RNZI with C&W music on NF for A-19, S9+10, the SSOB by fair, virtually the OSOB, and ex-25m is essentially dead. No het, as R. Aparecida, Brasil, has been missing from 9630.5v lately, but it`ll be a hetmess should it resume! A bad pick for RNZI, now sked daily 0459-0658; then 5945, and from 1259 on 5980 as yet unchecked here. RNZ National program times within will shift one UT hour later on April 7 when NZ go off wacky DST of UT +13. At least that match DST offdate in Australiaparts now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1640, March 31 at 0610 UT, KZLS ``Enid`` is dead air; by next check at 1400 UT has added a big hum, but still no programod (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 27185-AM, March 30 at 1731 on caradio, loop of ``Happy Birthday to You`` by amateur pianist, occasionally interrupted, but still/again going at 1930. Our local Enid CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. 7320-7325-7330, March 30 at 0551, DRM noise at S5, now RRI as scheduled 0530-0600 in English, plus 0600-0630 German. (WINB is also registered for same DRM frequency span at 07-09 M-F, 07-10 Sat/Sun) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH AFRICA [non]. 7285-LSB, March 31 at 0441, VA5AA calling CQ contest, before Radio Sonder Grense would be on here anyway, but still no RSG at 0550, RSA SW gone for good. Others noted its finale on 3320 a few hours earlier. So NAmhams get a frequency back. QRZ.com shows VA5AA is: Mason John Hnatiw in REGINA, SK S4V 1V2 Canada --- that`s Witanh spelt backwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 9515, March 31 at 0306, VOT English to N America at S9-S7. I had no luck for the earlier broadcast March 30 at 22 or 23 on 9830 or 5960, so this is my first A-19 QSY confirmation. Surely this will sidekick to 9515.7 at times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. 15180, March 31 at 1430, YL in SW/C Asian service? at S2-S4 but one of few signals on band. HFCC A-19 shows it`s IBB in Uzbek this hour, 300 kW, 80 degrees from Woofferton UK, i.e. Radio Liberty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: Manuel MÃndez, Spain, reports: ``6190, Hamburger LokalRadio, Goehren, *0700-0800, 30-03, English, ID âHamburger LokalRadioâ, programs âMedia Network Plus and âWorld of Radioâ. 25322`` Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reports: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 6190 CUSB, March 30, Edition 1974, instead of 1975, due to medical distraxions of Glenn Hauser https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/03/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_30.html 0731-0800 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, fair signal 0631-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, from April 8`` ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: not confirmed, Saturday March 30 at 1531 on HLR 9485-CUSB; monitoring via UTwente, inaudible, altho earlier circa 1520 I thought I heard a trace of Keith Perron during MN+. Confirmed Sat Mar 30 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, poor S4-S5; also confirmed UT Sun Mar 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, very good. Also confirmed UT Sun Mar 31 at 0318 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, S9+20, about 3 minutes in so started close to nominal 0315 this week. Next: 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW 1800 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania [ex-1900] 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 7730 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions] 2030 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5950 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v 0000 UT Thursday WRMI 7730 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [it is unclear when 1976 will start airing, as 1975 has unavoidably begun 4 days late; stations please replay latest available edition if necessary] Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 4774.975, March 31 after 0600, romantic? song at S7 vs double-CODAR swooshes. I seldom pull any modulation here. First thought is Brasil or Perà which insist on colliding with each other; but if you believe Aoki sked, neither would be on between 04 & 07. Instead, TWR English is on 4775 until 0700 --- but Manzini sunrise was already at 0403 today, surely too late for them. So I refine the frequency (and maybe there is a second carrier almost the same), which points to S America. I found one report of TWR only 8 Hz low, while here`s a typical comparison of Brasil and Perà by Carlos GonÃalves from June 2016y: ``PERU 4774.946 R. Tarma, Tarma, 2232-2240, 02/6, canÃÃes Ãndias; 34433, QRM do Brasil [Congonhas] em 4774.914`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 12031, March 30 at 1606 check, the extremely distorted spurblob is finally gone, no QRM to SPAIN. I had been hearing it at various times every day March 26-27-28-29. We may never know what it was (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1916 UT March 31

** CUBA. 15700, March 27 at 1431, China Plus relay is S9+30 but suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13661.5 & 13738.8 approx., March 28 at 1443, buzzes centered about 13700, more spurs out of that RHC in addition to the bigger ones plus/minus 28.3 kHz. Then I have some modulation about 13634.7 during apparent asymmetrical multiple spur carrier peaks. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6000, March 29 at 0530, RHC English S9+10 but JBM; 6060 is S9+20/30 with good modulation but CCI and SAH from Algerian Qur`an via FRANCE; 6100 S9+10/20 undermodulated; 6165 S9 but JBM; 5040 S9+20/30 loud; talk is about slavery. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15700, March 29 at 1415, China Plus relay is JBA S5-S7, fadey, maybe also undermodulated. Usually this inbooms whatever the modprob. Cuba is about all one can hear in the morns on 19m: 15825 WWCR & 15770 WRMI being JBA to JBA carriers. How about the RHCs? 15140 is steady S9 but suptorted; 15230 weaker S5-S6 and not distorted. Can`t have everything. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MALI. 5995, March 27 at 0612, R. Mali finally audible in this daypart: poor S3-S4 of African language; Cuba off 6000 already. 5995, March 27 at 2359, African song, S9+20 but ACI; some widely- spaced tones maybe own timesignal? Or from 5990/6000 Cuba; by 0000 March 28, 5995 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, March 30 at 0115, rock music the only pirate found; 0118, 0125, 0137 YL IDs as Mix Radio International/Worldwide; S7-S9; off by 0256 recheck. More logs: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52390.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 9985, March 27 at 1534, RFA Korean is S9 -S5, from now confirmed refurbished Saipan antenna. I don`t hear any jamming on this; does DPRK try? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, March 27 at 1500 UT, Classical KUCO-FM manager Brad Ferguson, after Stardate, in pledge drive, says this is the first full day they are on full power from new transmitter, 100 kW ERP, new processor and antennas; and want reports about improved reception. He asked me directly how it is in Enid. Transmitter power is 38 kW. I checked around 19-20 UT as I was driving around. Altho the signal seemed somewhat stronger overall, I had to tell him: still picket-fencing still subject to Vance aircraft multipath Doppler flutter still blocked by noise at traffic signals still not breaching stereo threshold, tho caradio shows ST; it blends rather than separates unlike 91.7 KOSU, 92.5 KOMA and many other OKC stations rock-solid Later he explained that KUCO had been running only 20 kW ERP from old transmitter; that side-mounting antenna on mast has been positioned for max lobes up I-44 to the NE and down I-35 to the S. No doubt that makes sense demographically. So away they go! That explains why there is not much improvement here to the NNW, still a need for a translator, if it could get a perfect signal input, perhaps from the feedline to KBCW and KCSC relays. EARLIER as installation was underway, Chris Stevens of RFSolutions wrote, ``Once this is complete it will be pretty much the top of the line radio site in terms of power, efficiency and technology. We are running the best processors you can get into the best transmitter you can want. Add in the efficiency of liquid cooled and itâs a perfect combination with remote control capabilities that Captain Kirk would be jealous of`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WORLD OF RADIO 1975, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH AFRICA. 7285, March 29 at 0525, R. Sonder Grense in Afrikaans including a clip in accented English, S9+10 and still on air; for its last day? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday March 27 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, fair vs storm crashes up to S6; also one second later on WBCQ 7490+ at S5-S7. Also confirmed UT Thu Mar 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, good S9+10/20 better than usual on this NEward frequency. Due to medical distraxions I could not get WOR 1975 prepared and recorded until Friday March 29, availablized on website at 0200 Mar 30 WORLD OF RADIO 1975 contents: Angola, Antarctica, Australia, Bangladesh, Congo DR, Cuba, Denmark, Equatorial Guinea non, Indonesia, Kuwait, Laos, Mali, New Zealand, Oklahoma, Philippines non, Romania, Suriname, UK and non, USA and non, Zambia, Zanzibar, unidentified 12031; and the propagation outlook Larry Will wrote: ``On 3265 via WBCQ at 0223 UTC March 30. First airing?`` Must be; tnx, Larry! Ad-hoc, confirmed here at 0242 check on 3264.9, recognizable but JBA and vs increasing line noise level bothering here; it`s always something. The other shortwave broadcasts should be: 0729 UT Saturday HLR 6190-CUSB Germany 1000 UT Saturday Unique Radio 5045-LSB NSW [March 30, alt weeks] 1130 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 1531 UT Saturday HLR 9485-CUSB Germany 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2100 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7730 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315] 0830 UT Sunday WRMI 5850 5950 7730 1030 UT Sunday HLR 7265-CUSB Germany [ex-1130] 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW 1800 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania [ex-1900] 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 7730 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions] 2030 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5950 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v 0000 UT Thursday WRMI 7730 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [it is unclear when 1976 will start airing, as 1975 has unavoidably begun 4 days late; stations please replay latest available edition if necessary] Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490.15, UT Sat March 30 at 0050, WBCQ is playing a lot of music, DJ Larry Will, Jane, et al., so is it really called Allan Weiner Worldwide? Live timechex, said would go off at 0100 and continue on 3265 ---- but 7490 did not cut off until 0113* after more music. John Carver files his fuller report: ``Tonight's show started at 0001 after an audio clip from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. No voice overs during the theme song, then a clip of Allan flying off the handle about moonbats then into music which told me that Larry and Jane Will were doing the show this evening. Larry said that Allan and Angela were off on super, secret business for the station. Some talk of this week's special HAARP broadcasts, then a short description of what HAARP was and consisted of. Then a synopsis of all of the conspiracy theories involving HAARP. Some more music. Then some talk of Ken Nordine and playing one of his bits from the record collection from the old WXM. A refreshing change from last week`s Gloom and Doom show. A brief rundown about 3265 and the birth of the Falling Star Network. Said that Monday thru Friday 0100 to 0500 the programming came from Area 51 and Area 51 programmers. Said they are still running low power during this testing period and are still experimenting with different antenna systems though no technical details included. Phone call at 0049 from Ramsey then into more music. Program was off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7505v, March 28 at 0100, WRNO is back on after a few nights? off, S9 but just barely modulated. March 29 at 0125, now it`s VG S9+10/20 with fully modulated gospel huxter; 0522 hymn at S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.14, March 28 at 0540, harmonic with the most modulation yet but still too weak, seems YL talking but can`t tell language. At 0548 an OM instead. Have been presuming it`s 2 x 1470.07v, but since 2+9+4 = 15, a multiple of 3, this could also be a third harmonic of 980+. http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=980 shows a few remote possibilities (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 12031, March 27 at 1437, approx. peak of extremely distorted blob at S5-S6; ``modulation`` cadence of some talk but totally unreadable; compared to RHC and Martà frequencies, but NO match. 12050 is a JBA carrier, presumably WEWN Spanish which unseems source, but if so is putting most of its power out here. 12031 blob is still there at 2024 March 27 and now QRMing 12030 Spain when tuned to LSB. 12050 has two weak signals presumably WEWN and Ascension. So it`s on long hours and propagating, but not heard later in afternoon, evening. 12031v blob is still2 there at 1452 March 28 before Spain is on weekdays. FM mode tuning makes it sound a bit more like speech, totally unreadable past 1500 and again not matching OCB or RHC. 12031 blob extends up to 12040, March 29 at 1418, QRMing TURKEY 12035.7. (12050 WEWN is VP but sounds OK) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1975, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 0503 UT March 30

WOR and DXLD delays |

Wednesday, March 27 2019
WORLD OF RADIO and DX LISTENING DIGEST delays:
As you may have noticed, I have been producing these every week now for many years without a break. It`s been my pleasure and passion to do so. But I have been rather ill the past week, as some medical issues are catching up with me, cutting into the very long hours I needed to spend editing and typing at the desktop (in the long run, this may be a good thing...) I was already running about a week behind in completing a DXLD issue after it was used as content for a WOR edition, while ideally, as once was possible, it would be complete or almost complete by recording time. As of early UT March 27: DXLD 19-12 material as on WOR 1974 is still in raw unedited form, not ready for publication. I have been gathering material for DXLD 19-13 and WOR 1975, but that process is not caught up yet. 1975 will not likely be ready for broadcast even later on Wed Mar 27. If I don`t lose too much more editing time, I am thinking of finishing 19-13 first to avoid falling further behind; and working on completing 19-12 later on the side when possible. I know stations and listeners depend on and expect a new edition every week but for the time being, I must ask people to stand by. Stations please just repeat 1974 until 1975 is notified or uploaded. One thing I can still do is DX, as I was already DXing while on the bed most of the time! I will try to keep producing my log reports without too much delay. Thanks for your understanding --- Glenn

One thing I can still do is DX, as I was already DXing while on the bed most of the time! I will try to keep producing my log reports without too much delay. Thanks for your understanding --- Glenn ** ALASKA. Caught the last part of Amanda Dawn Christie`s experimental transmissions via HAARP, UT Wednesday March 27, after referring to the schedule at: https://www.ghostsintheairglow.space/transmissions which confusingly refers to this day as ``March 26+1`` At 0239 and still at 0240, 4500 to the east is S9+10 with CODAR QRM, SSTV; noting heard on 4400 to the west. This is contrary to her sked for Sexion VII at 0233-0239 which said 4500 would be ``NATO fonetik alfabet x 3``, and 4400 would be ``counting to one hundred``. The same frequencies continue for Sexion VIII, at 0239:30-0245:30. Retune to 4400-AM at 0245 just in time to hear the fonetik letters; I think the last three were TAY, and off at 0245.5. Considerably weaker than 4500 as to be expected, which at 0246 has been restored to CODAR only. 0246, frequencies have changed for Section IX, ``Spy Cameras from the Sky, and a Mystery Box in the Woods``: 6900-AM to the east is S9+10/20 with somewhat muffled and lo-key YL narration, mostly unreadable with possibly local device QRM, but I pick out a few bits, describing an object: ``On Sunday December 1``; ``who gave you the authority?``; ``RCMP``. Also some music in background. At 0254 it suddenly switches to SSTV, and then find it sounding the same as on S9 5100 to the west. Both stop before 0256* 0256.5, the only and final frequency is 3200, for Sexion IX, ``Not with a bang but with a WSPR``. This is the weakest, S5-S7 and is, as not specified, a CW message, which I am not recording and not up to speed to copy live, seeming repeated a few times until off at 0259:30* There have been many other running reports of this from WOR iog contributors, which I have not digested before writing my report. I assume most or all will be posted audiovisually (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, March 26 at 2145, RAE Italian via WRMI is rather in Spanish for a dramatic reading with dramatic music of something by Borges about the tango; no translation necessary, apparently. 2152 back into real Italian for headlines also with annoying music, 2153 ciao! And WRMI 9395 ID, Oldies music fill at S8- S5, 2159 VOA ``news`` not quite on the hour --- so must have been recorded at least an hour ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. 12120, March 26 at 1432 Chinese with sounder, S6 with flutter, also constant RTTY and CODAR QRM. A frequency a broadcaster should avoid, but not VOA PHILIPPINES in Mandarin this hour, so I am not sure whether this is the CNR1 jammer or not. Before 1400, FEBC is on 12120, and even earlier KTWR --- I hope listeners aren`t thinking VOA is also a gospel huxter by the company it keep (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 4765, March 27 at 0050, R. Progreso is on with mostly music, well atop CODAR above and below. A while ago, Wolfgang Bueschel was wondering if they were really starting at 0030 now as he was not hearing them that early; must have been an anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. 5935-5940-5945, March 26 at 0552, DRM noise at S4-S5, which is RRI Tsiganeshti as scheduled this semihour in Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNID 5850 ** SPAIN [and non]. 12030, March 26 at 1819, REE has heavy QRM from an extremely distorted and wide signal from 12021 to 12039 approx. At first I suspect a Noblejas transmitter is acting up again, but the ``modulation`` does not match up to REE-AM in the midst of it. What else could it be? WEWN has also broken down like this in past. But there own much weaker Spanish on 12050 sounds OK, and there is no spur match on 12070 or anywhere. At 1923, 12050 has two weak stations with a slow SAH, i.e. WEWN and Ndarason/Ascension. By 1922, REE is somewhat overcoming the QRM, another indication it`s not self. Maybe a totally different station mistuned to the wrong frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5896.5-USB, March 27 at 0031, joint Air Force/Navy MARS net, mostly VP-P; calls heard include NNA6AR, AFA6UB, NCS387, NCS307 (or are they NPS---? only these are not fonetik); ACA70 refers to a different frequency but never spoken in the clear; 0037 I think they were to close with SSTV but too weak to hear any beepery. Amid just as weak broadcast signals 5890 & 5900 which are not a problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday March 26 at 2030 on WRMI 7780, JBA. It`s unclear when 1975 will be ready: see my notice atop (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5130.48v, March 27 at 0208, WBCQ is on with dead air, no ham show audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7505v, March 27 at 0213, no signal from WRNO, which reminds me I have not heard it either for a few nights now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 5845-5850-5855, March 26 at 0552, DEM noise at S5, sounds about the same as 5940 RRI; WRMI is the only 5850 station anywhen in Jeff`s HFCC, available at this hour but has not been using it. Possibly another special for the DRM GTG on Mallorca today, from Okee? I don`t think WRMI has ever run DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
