WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update
Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
1) Australia - Radio 4KZ: Updated link to home page; removed link to
now non-existent schedule
2) New Zealand - RNZ National & RNZ Pacific: Updated UTC offset
notations for change to DST
3) Scotland - Radio Six: removed UTC offset notation for programme
schedule - times are all given as GMT(UTC)
The next update is scheduled for early May. Best wishes and 73, Alan
Roe
** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, April 5 at 0150 into Brasila SDR, the token
English segment from RNB is back instead of SBG preëmptions, but it`s
a repeat of the first airing on April 1, part 1 of the interview about
Pará. Note IDs for this as RNB, i.e. via RNA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, April 6 at 0147 into Brasila SDR, only S7/S9,
RNA playing music until 0200, NO RNB English/Spanish and no sports and
no explanation. Is it done for, or just when they get around to it?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, April 6 at 0310, RHC happens to be on the air, S9+30/40
but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC. See also UNIDENTIFIED 12000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9790, April 6 at 0316, S9+30 of English, I think, JBM as the
pointless CRI relay is prolonged. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH. 15180, April 6 at 0313, S9/+10 but noisy, at first
thought maybe Romanian, but it`s stilted Spanish, as to be expected
from VOK as scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6945 AM, April 6 at 0323, JBA carrier, S9+10 = noise
level. Only one other report of this, as unID at 0324:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,143169.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.9 AM, April 6 at 0324, pirate music S9+20.
These say it`s Liquid Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,143162.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, Friday April 4 at 2158 and later, token English from
SNR is *still* absent from its new NAm frequency, but from 2200
audible on 15520 for ME and S8+10 equally sufficient 17715 for S
America. Also detectable on 15390 for Africa. Something`s notright at
Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15389.992, Saturday April 5 at 2225, REE check into Maryland
SDR: S4/S5, quite unusually, best signal on the frequency for Africa!
15500 for NAm STILL AWOL. Something`s never nominal at Noblejas. 15520
for ME only a trace, not sure if it`s something else. 17715.012 for
SAm at S3/S5. No English today, of course. I don`t usually bother with
precise frequencies for REE as they are within 10 Hz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, April 4 at 2158 and various chex both direct and
into UTwente later in the hour, NO signal from VOT English, nor on
possible overrun alternates 9870/9875. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.003+, April 5 at 2216, VOT English not off the air,
S9+15/20 into UTwente, but modulation problems! Undermod and
fluxuating. Same into Maryland SDR, which also has ACI from 11780
Brasil. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 7275, April 6 at 0322, VOT not off the air, but INTRUDING
into American hamband, awry at Ankara; S9+30/40 with Turkish music,
modulation OK now, and VP on 6165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2289 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 4 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 but as usual undermodulated;
also with some splatter from 9930 WTWW.
Missed checking Fri Apr 4 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975; anyone?
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1430 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001+, S8/S9 into UTwente with no CCI or ACI but something much
weaker on 6155, probably CRI Kashgar in Russian.
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1600 on WRN North America stream.
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1730 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000+, S9+10 into UTwente but with ACI from 6165 CRI English,
Beijing site to ME, and Rttyditty circa 6164. Same time on 3975.001,
however, VG clear S9/+10.
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 *ending* at 1931.3 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, S9+18 into nearby SDR, so the 1930v started very early about 1903
UT.
Also confirmed Saturday April 5 at 1930 on WRN North America stream.
Still NOT confirmed Sat Apr 5 at 1930 on WRMI webcast only, despite
still showing on System B schedule; really something else.
Confirmed UT Sunday April 6 at 0344 UT on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20
into nearby SDR until finished at 0353, so started circa 0325. There
was too much storm noise earlier direct for me to detect me. Next:

Financial support appreciated for our non-commercial public service

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 10003, April 4 at 2204, scratchy spur from 9930 WTWW which
hits S9+60; matches the TOMBS modulation peaks on a second receiver,
not the TOMBS mod on 9980 WWCR which is also on but never
synchronized. Like my previous obs on the lower side of 9930, i.e.
plus/minus very roughly 80 kHz; except the high side is more diffuse.
It can also be heard bothering 9955 WRMI, during undermodulated WOR.
10003 also threatens WWV. An hour later George and I discussed these;
he could not hear the spurs, and by now they were weaker for me.
Unfortunately, Ted kept the WTWW spectrum analyzer. 9930 also flanked
by the stable spurcarriers circa 9917 & 9943, not such a problem for
neighbors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Apr 4 at 2350 into NH SDR: 3265,
5130 OFF. 6160 algo VP S6/7, else with dittering QRM. 7489.925,
S9+15/20 with FKB. 9330 only S7/9+15 with music. As usual, 5130-
autocutson at *2355 with IS & ID loop, S9+10, but drops to S7 a few
times, from transmission or reception? At 0000 UT Sat Apr 5, 5130 &
7490- join for WTO theme of `AAAWWW`, not quite yet 9330 but soon
also. Now I`m listening better via Maryland SDR. His first overwords
are ``No matter what, it`s all about the freedom``. 0003 discussing
microphoniums. Then Cold War, Communism, etc., etc. 0031 says from
studio in Fla, 77 degrees, 65% humidity. Apologies for
air-conditioning, which Angela dislikes. 0036 and 0040 playing music.
0045 trimulcasting on 9, 7 and 5; 0052 datestamp but I was distracted
and missed it; think it must have been new and current. 0053 some
email including one politically incorrect (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7780 at 0631 April 5, WRMI-13 is off again vs some noise
circa 7778; and at 0635 check, 5010 WRMI-14 is also off. Apparently a
schedule change, not anomaly, despite no updating to skedgrid showing
both until 1500*. And not a transmitter problem, as both 7780 & 5010
are heard normally earlier in evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9265, April 5 at 0622, WINB is still on with gospel huxter,
more TOMBS? Not // 5850 WRMI. At 0632 it`s ``Walking in Simplicity``
with Bro. Steven. Anomaly or deliberate extension? Yet another station
with a program schedule they don`t keep up to date with what axually
airs! Dated March 9, obviously to account for imposition of DST, yet
still shows a 5- rather than 4-hour difference between ET and UT!
After all these years they can`t cope accurately with time changes.
Anyhow, still shows off the air every night from midnight until 2:04
pm - except Sundays back on already at 6:04 am. And `Walking in
Simplicity` is already on sked Sat at 4:30 pm > presumably 2030 UT
instead of ``2130``. No info about it under Pgminfo. Broad websearch
connects that motto with https://harvestchurch.org.bw/ - yes, in
Botswana but nothing about any broadcasts. WRTH page 595 shows WINB
sales manager is Sally Spyker; guess Hans Johnson, ex-CumbreDX is no
longer with WINB. In 2016 WRTH quick check, he was the sales/frequency
manager. 2025 WRTH shows besides 1 x 50 kW transmitter they have 1 x 15
kW. Were they ever on two frequencies at once, even during DRMing?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5935, 5890, 4840, April 6 at 0320 & 0325, all possible WWCRs
are OFF, probably due to storms, but neighbor in more ways than one,
5920 WTWW is S9+50 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1540 kHz, April 6 at 0334 UT, Spanglish adstring for
numerous events, concerts later in April, May, mentions San Antonio;
and income tax ad at 927-1040 on S. Willow? St., 830 area code for a
strawberry festival, which = Eagle Pass, Del Rio, approaching San
Antonio, so I conclude this be KEDA. Trouble is, a big het on the
minus side, about 1539.95, which is surely KGBC Galveston, but I`m
only hearing one audio. KEDA is U4 5/1 kW, with very unfavorable night
pattern to the WNW, but daypat circa-circular per radio-locator;
while the NRC Pattern Book 2013 shows similar day to night, just
larger (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7200 LSB, April 5 at 0624, song S9, apparently from a
recording, then naughty ham attempting to sing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, April 6 at 0310, algo S5/S7 with flutter, JBM?
Suspect it`s 2 x 6000 RHC which happens to be on now JBM and is a
known harmonicizer; however, Aoki & EiBi show there happens to be one
real 12000 station this hour only, CRI English via Kasghar = Kashi- Saiba, East Turkistan to S Asia; standard denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, April 4 at 0147, checking RNA via local ``Brasila``
SDR, again tonight no sign of English/Spanish, but another stupid
ballgame well past 0200, without apology. Richard Langley also
observes: ``And tonight (4 April UTC), I'm hearing what is presumably
Deportivo Táchira (Venezuela) vs. Flamengo (Brazil). So, again no
English/Spanish. Not sure how long these cup matches are going on at
least with Brazilian teams. Looks like after tonight, they take a
break until 8 April (local date) according to the CONMEBOL
Libertadores schedule. Wikipedia tells us "The CONMEBOL Libertadores,
also known as Copa Libertadores de América is an annual continental
club football competition organized by CONMEBOL since 1960." And "The
tournament is named after the Libertadores (Spanish and Portuguese for
liberators), the leaders of the Latin American wars of independence."
11780 kHz stayed on the air past the end of the game tonight. Was
still on at 0230 UT -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 1180, April 4 at 0408 UT, trying to detect whether
R. Martí be on from Marathon FL, checking three S Florida SDRs, music
from R. Rebelde dominates // 5025, but there is QRM from something on
1180. RM is so direxional that even in Miami area it`s hard to hear.
Around Tulsa there is also `jamming` from KOTV 1170 IBOC noise peaking
1183 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUAM. 15680, April 4 at 1530, S Asian language and music, S6/S8.
HFCC shows KSDA, 100 kW at 285 degrees going from Kannada to Telugu
during 1500-1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, April 4 at 0547, RNZP is VG S9/+15; not only
the only station on this band, but virtually nothing to be heard on
the 15 and 13 MHz bands! K index at 0600 was 4.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, April 4 at 2045 UT on caradio, ``Heart & Soul 92.1
and 1140 AM``, translator K221FQ in OKC of KRMP 1140, fairly audible
tho weaker than 95.3 KOKC translator. Listed 99 watts at 0 HAAT (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 11960, April 4 at 0550, RRI English is the SSOB S8/9. It`s
300 kW, 300 degrees from Galbeni for CIRAF 27 = W Europe but also
USward. This 0530 broadcast replaces the 0630 on 11930 in B24 season,
which also came in well despite Cuban jamming against nothing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. USAGM situation, as of April 4, from a reliable
source: OCB may resume broadcasting SW from Greenville to Cuba, but
nothing else on the air, with those in overall charge of engineering
and transmission dismissed. It`s unlikely that the previous
arrangement could be resumed in any reasonable length of time even if
authorized.
The Tajikistan relays ended on April 1, also the FEBC Seoul and Jeju
MW transmitters, and the Djibouti 1431 kHz relay. These were funded on
a quarterly basis and DOGE would not allow them for another quarter.
RFA transmissions via the two SW sites of R Taiwan International have
continued; as have Radio Liberty Russian via Radio Baltic Waves,
Lithuania on 1386 kHz, but we don`t know for how much longer.
WRMI has on schedule R. Liberty in Russian on 15770 with System K,
Mon-Sat at 0400-0430, or is it -0500? per sked, with something called
Voice of Russia, Sundays at 0400-0430. RL via WRMI is presumably at
WRMI`s initiative, unofficial. This could continue if any programming
feed remains available.
Russia, China, Iran could not get rid of broadcasts from USA, but
Trump succeeded in only a few weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2289 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday April 4 at 1310 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, S7/S8.
Confirmed Friday April 4 at 2057 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7780, April 4 at 0553, this WRMI is off again despite sked,
while a buzzy sound surrounds 7778. At 0558 check, 5010 WRMI is also
off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9839-9853 approx., peaking circa 9848 at S9+15, April 4 at
1540, extremely distorted talk, matching 9930 WTWW with TOMBS on
another receiver, not matching 9980 WWCR TOMBS, never synchronized
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13845, April 4 at 1534, WWCR is JBA here but blasting in on
12160 S9+35, 9980 at S9+50 - a clear MUF sharpoff circa 13 MHz, unless
13845 be underpowered. Yes, this WWCR back on air today, as was 4840
at night, both absent the previous date (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15150, April 4 at 1543, WMLK is off, unlike yesterday. Could
they be working on fixing the galaxy of spurs every 4 kHz we heard
yesterday? Fat chance, and it`s not even Sabbath yet (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, April 4 at 0552, R. Vanuatu already JBA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, April 3 at 0148, RNA with hyperenthusiastic coverage
of a stupid ballgame; don`t hear any crowd noise, so is this live or a
recap. Rather late at night to be live. Keeps mentioning Botafogo,
which is the big ``fireboot`` Rio soccer team. This keeps going past
0200 instead of new token English/Spanish 0150-0200 which we did hear
the previous two nights. So now we know how serious they were about
that!
Richard Langley also reports: ``Based on a few words I
heard/translated, perhaps it was Chile's Universidad de Chile against
Brazil's Botafogo at National Stadium in Santiago, Chile for a Copa
Libertadores Group A soccer match. And off at 0208 UT. Too bad if you
wanted to listen to the whole game on SW`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2289)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 17735, April 3 at 1447, JBA carrier is OOFSOB. EiBi
shows CRI Mandarin to Europe via Kashgar. 15590, April 3 at 1454, CRI
English via Urumqi discussing blueberry mania, S9+15/20 the SSOB
except for 15150 WMLK. From the land of imperialist ChiCom cultural
genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 89.1, April 3 around 1935 UT, listening to some $ tereo
music while dozing, Christian but tolerably instrumental, until DJ
says he is from WOFM in Canton - something ?? The real WOFM is on 89.1
but in Alcoa TN with Air 1, no known connexion to Oasis Network
originating with KNYD 90.5 Tulsa, here via Enid translator K206CA.
This local quality signal was surely not DX from TN altho possible by
Es if K206CA were off. There is also a Canton in OK with no stations
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, April 3 at 2130 check, RNE 15500 for NAm is still
OFF, but 15390 for Af is back on JBA; 17715 SAm and 15520 ME are
sufficient but no English on Thursdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2289)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2288 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday April 3 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+10/25 with storm crashes
into Georgia SDR; preceded at 0128 by mentions of R. República,
drumming, extraneous? RR not really scheduled then. Also some
intermittent CCI, maybe from SDR overload.
Also confirmed Thursday April 3 at 1652 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001+, S7/9+12 into UTwente, and 3975 not yet on.

Financial support appreciated for our non-commercial public
service program: thanks for a contribution via check on a US bank from
Moises Corilloclla, Rego Park NY, to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid
OK 73702, and says, ``Hello, Glenn, I wanted to thank you for the nice
mentions on your recent World of Radio programs, and I look forward to
bringing new or interesting things that I may find while scanning the
bands (altho that is quite small considering the years you have been
DXing). I plan to visit Peru this year as well, and I hope I can
provide a bandscan of other areas or cities, if I happen to travel

** U S A. 7780, April 3 at 0632, this WRMI-13 is OFF. and at 0635, so
is 5010 WRMI-14. All others nominal. These would both normally be on
TOMBS at this hour: tech problems, or reduxion in TOMBS $ $ /hours?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2289)
** U S A. 15134, 15138, 15142, 15146; 15154, 15158, 15162, 15166,
April 3 at 1448, galaxy of spurs every ~4 kHz above and below 15150
WMLK, S9+25/35 with Yahweh stuff. They cut on and off with modulation
peaks, JBA at the edges but quite strong closest to 15150. Something`s
very busted at Bethel`s new 300 kW transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 2289)
** U S A. 4840, April 3 at 0635, this WWCR-3 is unusually OFF, due to
storms? However, at 0633, 5890 is on with TOMBS despite it being a
weekday, // 5850 WRMI, singing ``Marching to Zion``. 5890 shows up
occasionally on `wrong` overnights.
Then day frequency of WWCR-3, 13845 is also OFF at 1457, still off
past 1500 and 1615, while 9980 & 12160 are blasting in. By 1831, 13845
still off, 9980 also off as scheduled, leaving only 12160 on. Since
WWCR-1 service was discontinued voluntarily, if that transmitter and
antenna still be funxional, why couldn`t they apply those to the
WWCR-3 13845/4840 schedule?
April 3 at 1446, Ron Trotto-WDX4KWI, Virden, Illinois, reported, ``I
noticed last night WWCR was off the air on all frequencies around 0530
UT. I checked 650 WSM they were on and off. Wondering if everyone is
OK in the Nashville area of Tenn`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2289)
** U S A. 9930, April 3 at 1832, WTWW is on but only S7/S9 instead of
usual blasting. Propagation? Altho 12160 WWCR is blasting, other 9 MHz
UStations are also very weak to JBA carriers, 9395, 9330, 9265 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA [and non]. 60 meter band vacant! of any SW broadcasters,
beyond WWV, April 3 at 0635, NO: 4840 WWCR, NO Estacion 4940, NO 5010
WRMI, NO 5025 CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

is off the air in downtown Enid; carrier was still running as of a few
days ago, more than 3 months after Xmas with music to accompany OG&E`s

opens with EU reaxion to Drumpf tariffs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

until 2234 April 1, S9+5/10 into Maryland SDR, with feature voiced by
Efsun the axentuated. Considerably weaker than 11780 Brasil, S9+10/25

S9+10/12 direct vs S8/9 noise level, unlistenable. At 2241 into

much better with music. 2248 break in carrier for a few sex. 2253
