Wednesday, March 06 2024
Note: previous report should have been dated March 3-4-5, 2024
** CUBA. 5025, March 5 at 0731, R. Rebelde with S9+40/50! of dead air in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, March 5 at 2259, checking direct, RHC is off, but so is 13650 the CRI music channel which was on 15230 yesterday. 15140 is however running late with RHC Spanish, S6/S8 with squeal. Next check via Maryland SDR at 2338: 15230 is on at weak S5/S7 but only traces of talkmod at peaks. 15140 now off. 13650 Chimx now on, S7/S9. 11760 RHC Spanish S9/+10. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, March 5 at 1638, JBA carrier, implying the pirate Hikari FM is still running from Sonora or Arizona on its signature off-frequency. As Rick Barton reports from AZ: ``Pirate --- 2/25, 1730, 11515/AM [nominal]. Another day of Hikari FM. Very unusual sounding music, just under S9 but mostly undermodulated. During frequent rechecks (incl. 1835), playing more J-pop sounding stuff, like often heard on Radio Nikkei 2. Heard most of the day on numerous rechecks. Logged Fair/Good on Drake SW8, Slinky (20 ft.) -- (Barton-AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, March 5 at 2303, S9 but JBA carrier direct vs noise level; and 9610 slightly stronger JBA carrier: which is VOT today? At 2316 I try UTwente: it`s 5960.002 when measured, ending news, into `Review of the Turkish Press`, S9+35/45 with constant 6CI understation. 2319 some nice choral music. 2326 `That`s Why` repeat about internet instead of libraries, voiced by the badax. 2331 `Weekly Commentary` again read by the badax so a total loss, one name of penner maybe Hussein. 2342 ``A-B-Y-S`` promo. 2348 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic] Products` about meatballs made from sheep at a town in central Anatolia whose name I cannot understand, and it isn`t even spelt! Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2351 s/off with all-wrong times. 2353 IS. Chopoff just before 2356* restart so no German today. Uncovers XJRTV at S9/+10 quite sufficient once it`s not blocked, std. denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, March 5 at 1643 UT in daytime groundwave, FBY, ND beacon at FairBurY, Nebraska, is JBA vs S7 noise level. 25 watts per dxinfocentre.com, 50 watts per RNA. Always pleased with this from a second-adjacent state, even when some OK NDBs are not copiable except local 341 EI Enid and 515 PN Ponca. As for first-adjacent KS, now only 332 IC, 25 watts from wIChita, and 407 HRU 25 watts from Herington. Can`t pull 395 CA, 25 watts from Newton as sometimes possible, as HNL at this spot is S9. Powers above per RNA list; dxinfocentre.com lists 332 IC as 400 watts, but I`ll believe it`s really 25 as at night it`s hard to detect vs 1000 watt QT Thunder Bay ON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday March 5 at 0342 the 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 and noisy into Louisiana SDR. Also confirmed Tuesday March 5 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct, no jamming audible. Next: 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2231][SW suspended but still streamed?] 1500 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [not Thu as on sked but Wed confirmed every week this year except Feb 28] 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW, 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 Note: WRMI times on 9395 & 9955 shift one UT hour earlier from March 10 due to imposition of DST; while all others stay at same UT! As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated, by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955 anomalies of WRMI: March 5 at 0807 is off the air, normally all-night with TOMBS, while 9395 & 9455 are propagating. At 1630, 9955 is still on but JBA, gone by 1640 recheck. Turnoff time for this varies widely. WRMI-3 skedgrid shows 9955 daily until 1600 with RAE French at 1530, but whenever checked it`s been nothing but continuous ID fillers; and shows extended to 1700 only on Sats with TOMBS. However, System B program sked shows until 1630 switch to internet only with WRN after 1600 daily except TOMBS on Sat. And this does not match the even more outdated System E = TOMBS sked. Furthermore, the Xmtr 3 sked of 9955 now shows at 0500-1100 it`s only Sat & Sun with TOMBS, a recent change? if correct. Note there will be further confusion from March 10 with the imposition of DST. This causes some WRMI Systems to move programming one real hour earlier, staying on ET = EDT instead of EST, while others stay on UT with no changes. Note that this affects Systems, whatever transmitter/frequency they may employ at any particular time. Also we note that there is now NO column for Transmitter 2 which has been eliminated completely. And transmitter 1 on 7730 for Latin America is totally blank 24 hours. Nor is 7730 assigned to any other Xmtr. So is it off the air or not? 7730 still shows for numerous program sked entries in several Systems including E = TOMBS. Seems like I tuned across it just last night. Very unfortunately, WRMI skeds are always rife with inconsistencies, self-contradixions. Oh2, looking at the skedgrids as displaying at 1900 UT March 5, the TUESDAY column is MISSING FROM ALL SYSTEMS!!! Just like the Transmitter #2 column. Still so at 2335. What a mess - until I checked the headers, I thought WOR at 1500 on 9955 was finally displaying correctly on Wednesday instead of alleged Thursday. It`s now in the third column from the left, but that`s Thu since there is no Tue for the second (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0015 UT March 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/

** CUBA. 15230, March 4 at 2313, Chinese music! S9/+10 with good modulation, found here after missing from 13650 at 2312, so on WRONG frequency, this CRI `Portuguese` relay which reliably for years has been nothing but - the same? - fill music day after day. Certainly not // 11760 RHC Spanish which at 2305 was crackly and squealy. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Recheck at 0121 March 5: 15230 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.953, March 4 at 1846, extremely distorted talk and music with whine, S9+15/35 into UTwente, no doubt R. Cairo during Turkish at 17-19 UT. As first reported at 1745 by Dr Hansjoerg Biener, then by several others in the WOR iogroup. Had been totally off air for several days supposedly fixing things, but back now as awful as ever. Mod stops abruptly and carrier off a few sex later at 1900*. I quickly retune UTw to next sked frequency, 9410 for 19-20 German, but no show in a few minutes. I break for lunch. Recheck *1930 open carrier on 9410.000, something else? 1933* off again uncovering some strange noises nearby. Instead of 9410, this hour ending on 9889.954 at 1857, same strength and horrible distortion as 9900 had. 9890 at 2000 timesignal and off uncovering KSDA in Korean. 2002 now Cairo is back on 9900, distorted and splattering down to 9890, in presumed French. Also with tones as if audio mixing from some utility service. ``9900`` also sked for 2000-2115 French, 2345-0200 Arabic and Spanish; will 9440 English 2115-2245 also be back like this? No, nothing there at 2156, but 9900.004 is still on with open carrier S9+5/15 and beepery. I think emissions after 2245 have been gone for a longtime. Instead of something like Portuguese filling the 2245-2345 hour, that`s always been sked obviously via another transmitter, at 2215-2330, on 9885. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 15409.981 AM, March 4 at 1652, via Missouri remote, Station YHWH is S5/S7, JBA undermodulated with the intonations of Josiah Elias occasionally recognizable; tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ, who had him at 1630. I had not noticed him in routine bandscan direct a few minutes earlier. 1710 QRM from Spanish 2-way on 15413-USB, see unID. Still trace of YHWH carrier by 1730 but no audio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Monday March 4 at 2300, VG direct, token English from SNR, only Amy Egan in studio today, previewing feature about Arts Week 6-10 March. 2302 news starting with cold wave, snow expected, fires killing apartment people in Valencia, unemployment rate falling. 2309 ID and interview, a separate `Hybrid Arts Week` March 7-10 taking place informally in a hotel, has been going since *2016y (Glenn Hauser, OOK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Sun Mar 3 at 2300, NO signal from VOT into UTwente and no XJRTV either which doesn`t come on until circa 2311. Instead, VOT English is still stuck on 9610.008, which was supposed to stop by 2230 after the previous English hour. Something`s always erroneous at Emiler, zzzz. 9610+ is VG S9+25 into UTwente, and can`t hear CNR understation in Mongolian this time. Same hour I`m listening to the final FTIOM on WBCQ, so checking this from time to time or juggling them both. 2320 plug TRTWorld.com for world news in 41 languages. 2325, `Letterbox` is just starting with contact info. Presenter appears to be reading all the `letters` cold, so he stumbles around about pronunciations, and picking out some of their comments. A little more preparation would be professional but he certainly comes across as casual. Most are requesting QSLs, and many send or enclose postcards which he describes, from: Italy, Japan, China, Allen Dean in England, China, Australia. Nothing from USA or Hemisphere West; I don`t think I missed any. Time`s up by 2346 so a loving goodbye, music, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music, 2354 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2355 late s/off for the 13635 at 1330 only, and IS. 2356 German IDs interspersed. 0000 March 4 timesignal, s/on extraneous German and usual program with same music liners as in English, still going at 0038. Off by next check 0053, uncovering the much weaker but more accurate ChiCom on 9610.001. The wrong frequency for German is supposed to be 5960, not 9610! SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, March 4 at 2259 I can tell VOT is on, but no match for the noise level direct. From 2324, S9+40/45 into UTwente where measured: 2324.5 ending 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel, into `The Energy Agenda`, Turkey is #5 in geothermal. 2329 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2330 `That`s Why` with the badax, something about indispensable Internet, libraries unneeded. 2335 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2342 multilingual ID filler reel, again! and songs. 2350 s/off, the one with all times wrong in local but called UTC. 2351 IS until chop at 2356* just before switch to German, uncovering XJRTV in Chinese, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems: which does not get Ottoman Turkey off the hook for genocide against Armenians a century ago. Something`s always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 18162.06 AM, March 4 at 1612, long-winded ham about power supply voltages. Was S9/+20 direct but fades down just as he IDs at a 1619 cambio. Don`t recall ever hearing a phoneham on AM instead of USB on this ``17`` mb. By 1651 sounds like same guy into Missouri SDR, but reads 18162.117v, clear ID as W7YO as he is QRT. QRZ.com: W7YO USA flag USA, GLENN M GURNEY, 2493 JUNIPER DR, BLANDING, UT 84511, USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday March 3 from 2100.5 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.997 kHz, S7/S9 but noisy into UTwente across Europe, lite CCI music, de extreme lowpower UK? Also confirmed Sunday March 3 at 2258 the 2230 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002, S9 into UTwente but noisy. Also confirmed UT Monday March 4 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Louisiana SDR, totally obliterated first 14 seconds + 1 by ute noise blaster, just like old times, some kind of protest against WRMI which may recur every semihour, and also bits in between. But is of no concern to WRMI. NOT confirmed UT Monday March 4 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93, rather dead air into Maryland SDR, and also dead air on stream which is running. In a few minutes I email Larry Will and the boardops, Hello? But no immediate replies and no axion. Remains silent past 0430. By 0511 recheck, 6160 resumes TOMBS but stream is still silent. Also confirmed Monday March 4 at 2057 the 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.001, S9/+10 into UTwente; 2059 ID and `CQ Serenade`. Next: 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2231][SW suspended but still streamed?] 1500 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [unsked, reconfirmed every week but Feb 28] 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW, 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated, by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490v), Sun Mar 3 at 2300-2400, enjoyed `From the Isle of Music`, finale on WBCQ. I`m glad it was on SW, but in reality, much more convenient and better `reception` here via webcast, even tho any originally stereo music still came thru as mono. Lots of short pieces and announcements by Uncle Bill. Plans to resume in April via some European SW transmitter, where he expects more support; and we could still pick it up by remote. I assume same applies to his alternate show, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`. I wonder what will be in this slot from next week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15413 USB, March 4 at 1710, INTRUDERS, 2-way in Spanish, QRMing YHWH on 15410. Still going at 1728, at least three stations between cambios (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0330 UT March 5 _ 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/

ALASKA. HAARP tests on final night UT March 3, via KFS omni, from 0448 nothing found on higher frequencies until 0451 reaching 3250 with sweeps upward every 20 seconds with pauses. Makes nice symmetrical pattern on waterfall of diagonal lines each side of 3250 out to about 3190/3310. By 0536 longer sweeps with no pauses, still restarting every icosasecond. There`s a weak line on 3215 which must be WWCR: I tune there briefly and can hear the sweeps going thru it. Finally off at 0603*. Strictly-SWBC editors may be inclined to throw this and my 9600, 5800 logs out, but I point out they concern ute intruders into broadcast bands. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) CUBA. 6000, Sunday March 3, RHC still on at 0745 with music, probably in order to Esperanto at 0800 but I`m zzz before then. 15140, Sunday March 3 at 1610, RHC Esperanto S7/S9, spoken rapidly as if by a ``native`` YL, but primary frequency 11760 is off. I think it was on before 1600. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
