Subject: [WOR] Logs from Michigan I'll include my logs with photos/audio that are about to be in the MARE TipSheet. As always, MI denotes logs from Williamston in South Central Lower Michigan Those denoted MI2 are from Port Hope in the Thumb of Michigan SWBC: Unknownia: 9700/AM ???? A pirate of some sort? Someone testing? NO clue what this is but I'll include a minute or so of audio to give you a 'flavor' of the thing. In essence it was a "Radio Drama" of some sort with lots of sound effects music and 'atmosphere'. Maybe the audio of a movie? The plot was of battle/conflict of some sort mentioning London, heavy on sound effects and not really as expository as most radio scripts which makes me think it might have been a movie soundtrack. Anyone recognize this? A Sci-Fi movie maybe? I have no idea what this was, but the production quality and voice acting was quite good, rather unlike most pirate things, and it clearly was not either RHC (the modulation was too good!) or RNZ, but that direction may make some sense given the way the signal propagated. Does anyone have an idea about this one? (brief audio attached) Very weak at first, but fading up to 344 0713-0738* -- carrier dropped about 30 seconds after the audio stopped 26/Mar RSP1 +SDRuno +ANC-4 +randomwire --Zichi MI inspiration running low: <insert your own witty saying here> Ken Zichi

Glenn Hauser logs March 31-April 1, 2021 |

Thursday, April 01 2021
![Logs](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/logs.gif) ** BOLIVIA. 3310, April 1 at 0040, S7-S9 carrier but can`t make out much mod, also with QRM from the 3308-USB MARS net. Since I logged R. Mosoj Chaski direct last night, I proceed to S American SDRs to hear it better? tonight: JBA carrier at Bonaire; at 0125 it`s JBA at Vilhena, Brasil, better at Brasilia #2, and slightly better2 at Pardinho tho further away. All are storm-noisy. Mostly YL talking in Quechua, then some music mixed in by 0152. 0159 maybe a Spanish ID; at least I copy ``3,310 kHz`` which may be bilingual. Then there`s that 200+ Hz tone! again from 0200.5 but off* before 0207. Next time: I`ll listen to the live stream but which probably lax the postlude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO [and non]. 700 kHz, April 1 at 0501 UT, WLW goes off for maintenance, tnx to tip from MARE. It made a false stop at 0500, came back on to include ID but nothing said about going off nor for how long. This uncovers two weak Spanish signals at almost the same SW/NE DF, inseparable. Main one has to be XEGD, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua: one music, one talk then both music, making SAH of 152/minute = 2.53 Hz. Mwoffsets is no help, no Mexican entries on 700. At 0516, ``La Poderosa / 700 AM y 90.3 FM`` or vice versa at 0528, which nails it as XEGD, per IRCA Mexican Log, but music is predominantly romántica, not GRU/AC. At 0520, clear Poderosa MST TC as ``10:19``. Of course, its power is nothing to crow/brand about except as a Big Lie, 5/1 kW. The only further Mexicans per IRCA Log are in Jalisco and Michoacán, but considerably CCW from HdP bearing. With these nulled, I hear nothing from the few other USA/Canadians at night on 700, in AB. AK, CA, OR, TX, UT, WA, which are low-powered and/or too far and/or aiming away from here. At 0555, WLW still off and something Spanish mentions ``101``, likely an FM frequency but no known matches to 700 stations. At 0600 choral Mexican NA, and suspect XEGD or something goes off, as the weak mix after that is different. IRCA Log shows 0500* for it. The two Texans, DFW and Houston to the SSE were not showing earlier with their unfavorable patterns; by 0630 there is gospel music in English roughly NNW/SSE but not the format of either TX. That could be CJLI Calgary, 50/20 kW, or even KGRV Oregon, 23/0.47 kW. Has KDAZ Albuquerque moved from 730 to 700 yet? I QRT at 0640*, causing me to sleep far too late past 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, March 31 at 2200, no signal from VOT English; and no RTTY either; tsk2. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7275, April 1 at 0343, ME music at S9/+10. This is the resumed A-21 frequency for VOT English to N America at 0300, INTRUDING into our ham band. // 6165 eastward would be blocked by Cuba. Was there no place for TRT above 7300? Note that 7275 is weaker even than VOA via Vatican thataway on 7260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 7260, April 1 at 0341, S9+10/20 strong but lo-fi talk, mentions Somalia --- as it is VOA Somali via VATICAN, violating Separation of Church and State, as sked 0330-0400 only. At this time 7260 also bears Vanuatu, East Turkistan, Mongolia per Aoki/NDXC. American hams cannot be too happy about this intrusion by their own VOA, ignoring the fact that SMG is notorious for sending bigsigs the wrong way (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2079 monitoring: Richard Lemke, Alberta, rounds up his confirmations, including Wed 1030 on 5850: Program heard: World of Radio #2079, Date heard in UT: March 26, 29, 31 UT 2021. Monitoring, checking signal using SINPO code, 5850 kHz, QSB fading, 5850 kHz, 0132, 0145, 0150 (55444), (55443), 0159, 5850 kHz, March 26 UTC 2021 [Fri] 7730 kHz, static, QSB fading, QRN, 7730 kHz, 0059 (45333), (45433), QRN, 0059, 7730 kHz, March 29 UT 2021 [Mon] 5800 kHz, 0248, 0250 (55433), 0257, 5800 kHz, March 29 UT [Mon] 5850 kHz, 1045 (554), 1044 half way mark, 1045, 5850 kHz, March 31 UT 2021 [Wed] 9955 kHz, S5 signal, QSB fading, 2214, words “This is, 9955 kHz, finally heard ID at 2229, “2079” 2229, 9955 kHz, March 31 UTC 2021 [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB, Canada)`` Confirmed here Wednesday March 31 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, JBA theme direct; and starting ~20 seconds later on WBCQ 7490-, slightly better direct, VP. Also confirmed Wed Mar 31 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+25/30 over Cuban pulse jamming, which is now running this early. Also confirmed UT Thursday April 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S5-S7 into Brasil SDRs but stormy. Next WOR 2080 should be ready by early UT Fri April 2 for first broadcasts at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 6159.93, April 1 at 0050, WBCQ Area 61 Old Time Radio with `Amos `n` Andy` recreation by Ed Tilton, S9+10 but with ACI splash from S9+30 6165 RHC English, which unexpectedly resumed here ex-9700, from about 0000, messing up the second hour of A61 and anything later, even when tuned in LSB. Now I am not so eager to get WOR back on at 0300 UT Mondays: bad choice between CubaRM or daytime absorption. RHC could easily have resumed 6145 instead of 6165. And at least before 0100, nothing on 6155, 6150 or 6145, where WBCQ could shift if not RHC. But QSY is not so easy at WBCQ, by regulatory approval, or by grinding new crystals. A further look at HFCC for openings: nothing on 6155 until VOA at 0330, discounting wooden Bulgaria until 0300. 6150 totally open our evenings. 6145 only maybe China, and alternate for The Mighty KBC UT Sundays only, surely not to be used before next winter, if ever. Aoki/NDXC sked has nothing significant to add (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 6205, April 1 at 0013 tune-in via Bonaire SDR, immediately hear ROCV Morse code ID, and spoken ID in Spanish with numbers, phone? followed by --- Polish! Why not? S7-S8; had been AWOL last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1729 UT April 1 _ 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/

![Logs](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/logs.gif) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, March 31 at 1534 tune-in via Brasília SDR, another Wednesday, another LRA36, only S1-S3 with music, 1537 announcement, stops at 1538, off? No, just a pause, more rap music which we hardly need from Base Esperanza, stops at 1551* and still off by 1555 without despedida or any talk. It seems they always chop themselves off at widely variable times: an hour later last week. Or do they just run until transmitter craps out by itself? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BOLIVIA. 3310, March 31 at 0155, Andean music, only broadcast signal on 90m besides WWCR and CHU. It`s Radio Mosoj Chaski. First I make sure the audio match neither KGWA nor KCRC, my two locals which for many years ganged up to block 3310 (2 x 960 + 1390), both of which are talkers, but with occasional musical bridges. That mixing product fortuitously cleared up several years ago AFAIK, but I`m always apprehensive about it. This rates S7-S9, my best chance at Mosoj in a long time. No doubt I could hear it better via a remote, but I`ve long wanted to log this direct. Maybe I`ll check that another night to compare behaviour. The music at tune-in is vocal; at 0158 there is an announcement I cannot recognize as Spanish, so likely Quechua; 0159 another song; 0200 announcement with music mix. At 0201 all that stops, replaced by a big hum/whine. Compared on my keyboard, pitch is about G# or Ab below Cmiddle, i.e. 208 Hz or so. I figure it`s signed off and quit feeding the STL, while the SW transmitter remains on relaying the noise filling the STL transmission. This continues without a break until transmitter off finally at 0210.5* Among others, Manuel Méndez in Spain often reports RMCh, as does Robert Wilkner in Florida, predominantly in the hour or two before 0200. One recent log by Bob ended at 0211 but not as a sign-off, nor any mention of the tone. MM just heard it last night: ``BOLIVIA, 3310, Radio Mosoj Chaski, Cotapachi, 0118-0131, 30-03, Bolivian songs, Quechua, comments. 25322.`` Our obs contradict WRTH 2021 with sked as 09-13 & 21-01; 10 kW from Cochabamba, not Cotapachi/Cotapaxi, with website mosochaski.org which is wrong, the j is required: https://www.mosojchaski.org/en/ According to that, live broadcasts are at 5:00-8:30 am and 5:30-9:30 pm, which at UT -4 yearound means 0900-1230 & 2130-0130. Must vary. ``Mosoj Chaski was founded in 1999 as a short-wave Christian radio station to reach the Quechua people who are scattered across Bolivia. Mosoj Chaski, which in Quechua means ¨The New Messenger¨, was started by missionaries from SIM, New Tribes Mission and Pioneers International, along with like-minded Bolivian nationals.`` SIM originally meant Sudan Interior Mission, the founders of ELWA Liberia. ``Sudan`` once had a connotation well into west Africa beyond present-day Sudan. Mali was previously colonized as French Sudan, then part of French West Africa, AOF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 11745, March 31 at 1830, Firedragon jammer S7-S9 with deep fading, against nothing, but RFA in Chinese via Kuwait is scheduled this hour only. No sign of Sa`udi AFRS `Al-Azm` either, but even without the jammer this would be a mess in target. Still past 1846. Meanwhile I check the 11.0 and 13.0 MHz areas but still no sign of any ChiCom jammers, CNR1 or FD (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 6000, March 31 at 0058, RHC English has just popped on, now // 6165 which has already been running an hour. A minute or two earlier checking 6000, only had some very weak Qur`aning, as Iran in Tajik is scheduled 0050-0220. Via TWR Bonaire SDR, which is not responsible for Islamic or Commic content it forward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN. 9835, March 31 at *1920:45, VIRI English chops on with program in progress, discussion of Jeffery Epstein and sex trafficking. Then I check // 9855 and find it much stronger S8 into UTwente SDR. 1923 ID as ``Voice of Islamic Republic of Iran broadcasting``, schedule as ``1920-2020 UT on 6040, 11880`` --- which are the defunct B-20 channels: what do they know? Music fill depriving us of standard opening in other languages, anthem and Qur`an! 1929 a different ID, ``IRIB English Radio, coming up, the news``. 1930 three upward chimes, theme, and news headlines starting with Hezbollah in Lebanon calling on Sa`udi Arabia to stop the war against Yemen. 1934 changes to commentary about the Iran Nuclear Deal and how Biden is not getting anywhere --- complete with music stinger SFX. May I point out that the very name of the country and thus the station is a Big Lie? Islamic and Republic are mutually exclusive, i.e. of god, and of the people --- can`t be both, and we know who`s really in charge, minority people who say they represent a god (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530 & 11540, March 31 at 1456, poor signals on both, which implies as nothing else listed, one is Dengê Welat via France, and the other is the Turkish jammer, named in Aoki as ``TRT Radio Recep Erdoğan``, but certainly not what it call itself; i.e. missing its target, which shifts back and forth between 11530 & 11540, also when via Pridnestrovye. BTW the curve over the g means it`s pronounced as h: ``The correct pronunciation of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkish can be phonetically transcribed as Reh-jep Tah-yeep Err-doh-han, as heard in the audio file. The most important element in pronouncing Erdoğan correctly is to remember that letter "ğ" must be pronounced as "h"``: https://www.pronounceitright.com/pronunciation/recep-tayyip-erdogan-4782 No, it`s like w, per this; o my, which are we to believe?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJEJItHXmJU Reason enough for his term to be -inated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN [and non]. 17855, March 31 at 1825 & 1913 chex, still zero signal from REE to N America, direct or via Virginia, UTwente SDRs. Here, 15520 and 11940 are JBA; further east 11940 is in silly ballgame anyway. Only signal here on 16m is 17530 VOA Grimesland, JBA in very poor propagation. Also checked ex-9690, not there either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 9410, March 31 at 1500, last few notes of Yankee Doodle Dandy, i.e. VOA signing off but S8-S9 carrier stays on a while. It`s Korean via Tinang, PHILIPPINES scheduled 1400-1500 only, further aimed USward. Remember when 9410 was an exclusive BBCWS/GOS English OOB frequency, only from domestic site? Still also used by BBC but only relays, in various languages, and not continuously, e.g. before this VOA hour in Bengali via Sri Lanka; after it, English via Oman. Other sites per Aoki employed sometime during the 24 are UAE, Vatican, São Tomé, Singapore, Ascension; in: Pashto, Dari, Arabic, Hausa. Taiwan and China also squeeze in, seemingly well-coördinated time segments (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2079 monitoring, next: 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to Kelley Sprout, Hughesville PA, for a check to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute, not necessarily in US funds, via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier survey, March 31 from 0141: not every single 9-kHz carrier this time, but of note: no 531 Algeria or 621 Canary which used to be staples, yet 612 Morocco? and 891-Algeria. We expect them all to be 24 hours, but maybe not. Also noted are 1215, two on 1305. And one on 1431 which is surely the 600 kW VOA Djibouti on the east coast of Africa, as otherwise there are only a few very low power in Europe, max 5 kW in Italy. Around 0530, 531 and 621 can now be detected (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 2004 UT March 31 _ 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/
