** ALGERIA. 17600, Tue Apr 30 at 0640, Ifrikya FM well enough S3/S7
direct to detect any English as on some previous occasions around this
hour: no, in French; 0643 Arabic? but Frenchish slogan ``La Voix
Africaine``. 0647 French and no English by 0658. Here`s another time,
April 30 from Denmark: ``Ifrikiya FM from Algeria has been heard in
English for several days now at 1800-1810 UTC on 15160 and 17600 kHz.
Great reception. Best 73s, Stig Hartvig Nielsen, Hard-Core-DX`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 15410, Apr 30 at 1445, S7/S9 two signals mixing.
EiBi shows CNR1 jamming and Sound of Hope, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Apr 30 at 0640, RHC Spanish on air much later than
normal, S9+20 with ``A ver, Iberia``, revolutionary stuff. Not on 6000
or any other known frequency now. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 11815, Tue Apr 30 at 1454, NHKWRJ IS, S3/S6. Filling
1450-1500 gap on weekdays between Burmese and Japanese. But no sign of
CRI English via Urumqi, East Turkistan until 1457 which is reported to
ruin NHK English at 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 30 at 1933 quick check of UTwente,
horrible buzz still roaring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.003+, Apr 30 at 2200, VOT English not off the air,
S9+45/50 into UTwente, slight overmodulation distortion. This time
news with W badax and M OKax alternating. Too much news and severe
weather going on locally to listen intently, so hit and miss: 2218
`That`s Why`, badax on why nims hibernate. 2223
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2245 about geomarked products. 2246 TRT
World promo. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2253 badax s/off for
1230 only on 17620. 2254 IS for about ten notes before chopoff, no
finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 10129 CW, Apr 30 at 1437, KD6WW call only, repeated at
irregular intervals and speeds, as if hand-keyed. Trying to beacon?
QRZ.com: ``KD6WW USA flag USA, BRUCE D LEE, 17520 KENNISON LN, LODI,
CA 95240, USA`` -- I habitually check 10125 for anomaloUSB phone
Aussie ragchewers on 29m, not reheard for long time now. Nor HK3QQ
with his keyboard-order CW letterism with errors (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 17690, Tue Apr 30 at 1850, no signal of R. Martí Ukraine
beam from Grimesland into UTwente nor direct. Has it been canceled?
Original 17680 at 17-21 still occupied by NHK Japanese via France
until 1900. Bandscan direct finds Martí nowhere else on 21, 17, 15, 13
or 11 MHz bands except the Cuban beams on 13605, 11930, 11860 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday April 30 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Querétaro SDR. Good
thing I checked anyway after removing it from sked due to previous
week`s performance and WRMI grid, which still shows Wavescan at this
time, altho on Apr 23, neither one aired! Apparently I should resume
it on WOR sked as ``irregular``.

Also confirmed Tuesday April 30 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S6/S9 direct, no
jamming audible. This one starts immediately after music, no ID break.

** U S A. 4840, Apr 30 at 0703, S9+50 of dead air yet again from
WWCR-3, which seems to fail about once a week. But there are carrier
peaks at various spots just above and below. Must be quite a sight on
a visible display. This seems to correlate with TOMBS, but now it
happens even without any audible program modulation! I measure these,
but they are unstable, coming and going and jumping around as if
influenced by the lacking modulation: 4832.4, 4833.23, 4834.46,
4834.92; 4843.70, 4844.71, 4845.19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UZBEKISTAN. 15710.05, Apr 30 at 1448 JBA algo S6/S8, listed as AWR
Mandarin via Tashkent. Something`s wrong: normally off-frequency
minus, not plus. I assume the ChiCom don`t bother to jam this (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2322 UT April 30

** CHINA [and non]. 18970, Apr 29 at 0357, JBA carrier with flutter,
no doubt CNR1 jammer against Sound of Hope - the only usage of this
ITU official extra SWBC band, except maybe a Europirate per EiBi.
Altho this about 15.8 meters, never called the 15m band, since hams
mislabel 21+ MHz as 15 instead of 14. And 16m already applies to 17
MHz BC band. What to do?? I think hams also consider their lower 18
MHz hamband as ``17m`` instead of 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non?]. 17615, Apr 29 at 0635, S9/+10 of Chinese music, the
SSOB as I am checking 17600 for English from Algeria, but much weaker.
Aoki & EiBi show CRI vs CRI this hour: German via Urumqi, and Mandarin
to SE Asia via Kunming. Should have listened longer for talkieclue
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Apr 29 at 0331, NO signal from RHC English on its
primary frequency. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11845, Apr 29 at 0341, pulse jamming against nothing, a R.
Martí daytime frequency abandoned several years ago. Heavier
wall-of-noise jamming against nothing on 11860 and 11930, current RM
channels but not at night. Think of how many undernourished Cubans
could be fed for the cost of all this nonsense! Nor is there and
justification for jamming against something (Glenn Hauser OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15230, Apr 29 at 0351, S9+10/20 of open
carrier/dead air: got to be RHC, where something is always wrong.
15770 WRMI also propagating well now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17655, Apr 29 at 0354, Hindi signing off,
pronouncing in English ``China Radio International``, ``cri.cn``, many
``kHz``, S9/+20 with flutter, way off S Asian target from
Kashi-Saiba/Kashgar. This dept hasn`t got the message it`s now ``CGTN
Radio``, how cumbersome (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Apr 29 at 0400 after rock music, timesignal and
RNZ News, S9+20/30. I had just calibrated my watch against WWVH, so I
can assert, ``Don`t you believe the RNZ timesignals!`` About one
second later than WWVH.

Here`s a story about them, but not dealing with this issue:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/514073/rnz-s-pips-are-changing-can-you-hear-the-difference
via Steve VE6WZ, IRCA iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925.36 AM, Apr 29 at 0333, JBA pirate music, OPOB.
These say it`s Boat Anchor Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,129052.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. It`s notable that two `regular` pirates have been
missing lately:
7475, Station YHWH, including no signal Apr 29 at 0338 direct. If &
when it`s on, Rick Barton, AZ, will surely catch it. His last report
was: March 22 at *0245-0403*. My last log was on the surprise daytime
frequency 15409.981, March 4 at 1652.

And 11514.9, Hikari FM, no signal Apr 29 at 0338 direct. Rick Barton
logged it almost every day or night, March 14-22. My last log was
March 22 at 1706-1857+ on 11514.90v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 15325-15330-15335, Apr 29 at 0352, DRM noise S9+10. It`s
RRI Tsiganeshti, English to S Asia at 03-04. If you are ignoring the
cedillas, you must respell it this way fonetikaly (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Apr 29 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct
into portable, lead news is that PM Sánchez will not be resigning.
Instead of straight talk, newscasts have music bed and well-integrated
clips in Spanish then translated, Amy and Marilyn alternating. Feature
from 2206 is about housing shortage, interviewing someone from
tenants` union (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 11650, Apr 29 at 0340, S9+20/30, English word
``constitution`` mentioned several times; guess there is no such
concept/word in Juba Arabic, since this is R. Tamazuj at 0315-0430 via
MADAGASCAR, so USward beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN. 21800.08 approx., Apr 29 at 0404, Chinese S4/S8 with
Doppler flutter. Presumed Sound of Hope rather than a jammer, since
it`s so far off-frequency. How much power can SOH run from Miaoli
site? WRTH page 579 says all about 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TINIAN [and non]. 21570.03 approx., Apr 29 at 0402, two signals in
Chinese. RFA more likely the askew one than CNR1 jammer, sked this
hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sun Apr 28 at 2213, NO VOT English signal into
UTwente; algo else on 9875 which might have overrun. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler.

7275, UT Mon Apr 29 at 0335, however is not off the air, S9+20/30
direct including HSNL so unlistenable but I can recognize `Letterbox`
informal host (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11530, Apr 29 at 0339, Turkish? music, S9/+10, presumed
jammer against Dengê Gel but no sign of it on same or anywhere nearby
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 29 at 2200, good signal direct into DX-390
portable, almost as good as simulSpain 17855, but VOT English from the
throat of the badax today, requiring too much concentration to
apprehend; additionally there is slight distortion, and ACI from 11780
Brasil. `Review of the Turkish Press` ending at 2219, into music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563.5 CW approx., Apr 29 at 0347, AN, HIFER beacon fading
up and down, from Somerton AZ near Yuma. Not measured precisely but
unseemed close to 13563.0 as in LWCA list, 13562.9. No sign of others
elsewhen around here, YSO, PCO or RQ. There it is again, JBA Apr 29 at
2222, AN about 13563.5, not 13563.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 28 from 2000.5 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.995, S9+10 into
UTwente. Previous talk program was faded out at 2000.

Also confirmed Sunday April 28 at 2150 the 2130 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000, S9/+5 into UTwente with dittering on the upper side; and
3975.002, S8/9+5.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 29 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S5/S9 direct
in high storm noise level = HSNL. At 0054 into Querétaro SDR,
S9+5/20.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 29 from 0300.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6159.930, S7/9+5 into NH SDR. Direct at 0328, S9/+10 in HSNL.

Also confirmed Monday April 29 after 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, into
UTwente, 6160 with dittering ACI, via timer recording so // 3975 not
checked. When I can check about 2215 after 6160 is off, a weak
6159.93, no doubt WBCQ. Next:

1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]

** U S A. 15770, Apr 29 at 0353, SMTV via WRMI, S7/9+10, addressing me
as ``compassionate listener`` -- yes indeed, thank you. Beamed NE,
this frequency needs above normal propagation NW toward us (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Apr 29 at 0345, WTWW blasting in at S9+50/60! Unusual
for non-local signal; with BFO I can tell the carrier is wobbling
slightly, not I hope from receiver overload (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JJBBA MW carrier search, Apr 29 at 0407:
surprised so late in season vs storm noise and splash I can detect
these: 585, 684, 774, 891-2, 1305, 1314, 1503; 1710-2 which would be
domestic TIS or pirates. Mostly Spain, but beat on 891 is 140/minute =
2.3 Hz, so Algeria and what? MWoffsets shows Algeria 2.5 to 3 Hz low;
Iran right on .000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12060, Apr 29 at 0343, jamming buzzing which should be 2
x 6030 vs R. Martí, but a different sound on 6030. Perhaps from
different sites, one of them more harmonic prone (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 2348 UT April 29

** CUBA. 11760, Apr 28 at 1935, speech in English about democracy, ha2, from RHC, not off the air but S9+10 into Georgia SDR, while primary? frequency this hour, 15140, is off. Lots of background noise at the venue. Outro as PM of St Vincent & Grenadines. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 15474.8, Apr 28 at 1453, JBA algo. Askew like that, I bet it`s Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN. Yes, HFCC shows some Encompass transmission in Japanese until 1500, but what is it, really? Furusato no Kaze per EiBi & Aoki. As long as LRA36 not try to emit before 1500, this will not be a problem.

BTW, due to storms and power outages I was unable to check for Esperanza this Sat Apr 27 before or after 22 UT on 15475.98 RCUSB - did anyone hear it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 28 at 1857, clear Arabic, presumed Rep. of Yemen Radio, recovered from horrible buzzroar instead, S9+5/20 into UTwente, but chopped off air at 1859* unexpected time. I`ll bet we hear the buzzroar again. ! shortly after writing that, recheck at 1905, there it is! buzzroar only at same signal level but sounding much louder. I was about to bandscan for a new frequency. It`s as if they deliberately changed from one to the other. Something`s always wrecked at wRiyadh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17870, Apr 28 at 1448, surprised to find Spanish here, anti-Russian comments, 1449 VOA editorial, S5/S7; 1456 R. Martí ID for 1180 and vague ``onda corta``; so the separate Grimesland broadcast aimed at Cuban mercenaries for Russia in Ukraine has abruptly shifted from 17865 for the Sat/Sun only broadcast at 13-17. Neither 17865 nor 17870 appears in latests Aoki, EiBi nor HFCC! And I see no ACI or CCI reason to change. Maybe avoiding jamming? Not aware of any. At 1559 it`s S7/S9 into UTwente, but I can`t get the few Kiwis in western Russia or eastern Europe to run. Some now labeled as not covering higher MHz bands. M-F 17-21 UT 17690 ex-17680 is also missing from HFCC. About due for another change without notice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday April 28 at 0330 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, at mid-break so like the Sat 1930 broadcast started approx. nominal time 0315. Buried in storm noise level direct, and also heavy storm noise into nearby groundwave SDR in MO totalling S9+15/20. Next:

** ALGERIA. 17600, Apr 27 at 0641, JBA music into UTwente, so can`t
confirm any English this time. Propagation depressed, no signal direct
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. See CUBA; EAST TURKISTAN

** CUBA. 6000, April 27 at 2335, something strange here: long
narration in English but only an occasional word understood, with
continuous Chinese music background; like storytelling. Bigsig has to
be Cuban relay, not direct from China; no CRI English relays are
supposedly sked at this time nor frequency. This is Sat, but on a
weekday, 6000 would be running the alt RHC service, `Mesa Redonda`, //
11950, which is not on now. At first during AC power outage due to
storms, I`m monitoring on the D808 or DX398 portables. AC back on at
*2345, then on the NRD at S9/+10 including the HSNL. 2358 ``until next
time, goodbye``; 2359 promos in Chinese/English. 0000 no timesignal or
ID but into song, strange ToH behaviour for CNR domestic or CRI
external.

By 0044 next check into Georgia SDR, 6000 is mixing Spanish and RHC
English at equal audio levels. Spanish mentions China, so that may be
from CRI, S9+40/50. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. None of
this is accounted for in latest EiBi or Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 13740, Apr 27 at 2326, music and Spanish with
flutter into portables during power outage. CRI Spanish sked 2300-0057
& 0100-0300 via Kashi-Saiba per Aoki. 13740 used to be a Cuban
frequency; see also (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.74 AM approx., Apr 27 at 0100, Enid CB pirate relay
of K288FX, // 105.5 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Tornado outbreak all day April 27, disrupted our
monitoring. Several came close to Enid but no direct hits. Two power
outages of about an hour each were also problems, 2030-2126,
2138-2245! OKC TV channels, ``4, 5, 9`` normally go to wall-to-wall
coverage with choppers and storm spotters deployed. 4 was slowest to
dispense with a stupid ballgame. We mostly followed KOCO 5. Except
during power and thus cable outages, the only station we can get on
indoor UHF loop is KFOR 4, RF 27. We did get backup AC power supplies
going to run the TV. In the past, a number of commercial AM & FM
stations in OKC would plug into live tornado coverage by one of the TV
stations. This time I could not find a single one doing so on FM; nor
AM but weaker signals blocked by high storm noise levels. Some would
break into regular programming only for NWS warnings. The additional
noise level on some of those daisy-chain relays is incredible.
Instead, KFOR coverage was being relayed by three otherwise gospel
huxters audible here, on 88.5, 89.7 and 90.5: 88.5 KZTH Piedmont is
relay of 89.7 KJTH, ``The House``, Ponca City; and 90.5 KGVV Goltry,
``My Praise/The House of Praise``. No locally-originated coverage was
to be heard on any Enid market AM or FM commercial station (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, April 27 at 2302 and still 2319, during AC power
outage due to storms, I get enough signal into portables with inside
longwire to hear some German, i.e. another erroneous Emirler TRT
overrun past the 2200 English hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday April 27 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/28 into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Saturday April 27 from a few sex before 0400 on
WTWW, 5085, S9+15 into Missouri SDR. Followed by about a minute of
music with no formal ID or s/off to 0430*.

Not confirmed Saturday April 27 at 1450 the 1430 on SW Radio, Germany

whew, both now back on air: 3975.001 S9+5, and 6160.000 S8/9+10 into
UTwente. Yes, #2240 not 2239.

Confirmed Saturday April 27 after 1930 on WRMI webcast only, and WRN N
America webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday April 27 at 1952 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,

Also confirmed Saturday April 27 after 2000 on WRN Europe webcast.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 28 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9 direct.

Unique Radio, Australia, as of Apr 27 ``currently off air except for

timesignal a few sex late and French news. SSOB and would be the OSOB
if not for a JBA carrier on 17850, i.e. RFI Issoudun. Simulmonitored
by:

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: ALGERIA, 17600 // 15160, Ifrikya FM,
English today from about 0648 to 0657, identification, "Ifrikya FM,
The Voice of Africa", comments by female, at 0657 song "Despacito" by
Luis Fonsi, French ID, comments, at 0700 French "Le Journal de
l`Information", news in French`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Apr 25 at 1903, VP signal direct, can`t be sure RHC is
in English; via Georgia SDR at 1914, yes, it`s English and with
flanking spurs about plus/minus 3.6 kHz, clearly on the H2Ofall. 11760
is not on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
date correct, missed in previous report

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.74 approx., Apr 27 at 0100, Enid CB pirate is back
relaying and //105.5 K288FX, translator of ``K-Love``, KYLV 88.9 OKC;
seems in a pledge drive rather than music. AM mode but distorted. NO
skip at all on 26, 27 or 28 MHz bands (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Apr 26 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG
direct into portables with clipons. Leading news item about whether
Sánchez will stay in power. 2209 feature is about some medication
that is hazardous especially to Brits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Apr 26 at 2207, VOT not off the air, sufficient
S9+10/20 direct in English, 2211 ending news, bit of music, `Review of
the Turkish Press`; 2213 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2215 music.
2231 I have switched to UTwente where measured, S9+45/55! 2233
`Turkish Folk Tales` about animals; 2239 music; 2243 promo TRT English
website, music; 2252 TRT World promo. 2254 s/off by badax for the 1230
only and 6 notes of IS before chopped off, no finesse. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 17690, Apr 26 until 1956, the stirring Ukrainian
national anthem, immediately followed by Martí-Noticias ID; only S1/S5
direct from Grimesland, USA in very degraded propagation: K-index at
18 was five and a third; G1, R1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 26 at 2044 the 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.996 kHz, S9+8
and no CCI but some ACI from strong Spanish from Spain on 1314.

Confirmed Friday April 26 at 2207 the 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20
direct vs lite jamming and yet poor copy, the first SWBC.

** U S A. Pre- `AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Apr 26 at 2337 into NH SDR:
3265 OFF. 5130.201 S7/S9 `ATATT`. 6159.930 S9/+15 TOMBS. 7489.935
S9+15/20 FKB. 9330.000 S9+15/20 too despite WLCR 10?X the power of
Classic WBCQ.

After 0000 UT Apr 27, `AAAWWW` sounds very familiar, yes, replay of
last week. Never mind. But this time only on 7490! 3265 is still off,
5130 still ``Radio *rump International on Radio Angela`` at 0015
instead of diverting to AAAWWW, 6160 some gospel huxter presumably
TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
