ABC TV's "News Breakfast" will have me on at 6:35AM AEST Tuesday which is
12:35PM AK time Monday.

You can’t watch a live stream of the show outside Australia but I’m told
I’ll get a recording of the segment emailed to me after the fact at some
point

Logs
** CUBA. 15730, Sunday April 4 at 2237, RHC in Esperanto, so only the
third time and frequency they announce is correct --- but it`s a bust,
extremely suptorted S7-S9, as so often on this transmitter. I can
barely recognize the language, and there is no alternative, no //.
Other days of week, this slot is filled by French, I think.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday April 4 at 2238, S7/S9+10, over-modulated &
distorted; a little better on 9650, just somewhat distorted, RHC in
Filatelia show with postal addresses of would-be stamp traders. I`m
about to confirm the middle broadcast time of `En Contacto` DX program
as shifted for Yanqui-imposed DST. Yes, it runs from 2243.5 to 2259.0.
Padded, the first two minutes billboard what will be on the rest of
it, including the 569th edition of the AER DX report from Spain voiced
by Pedro Sedano. At 2245.5 main topic is the ICAO/NATO fonetik
alfabet, running thru all the words from A to Z, which of course are
originally in English. Maria Elena then spells her own name that way.
And next the alternative list, some matching, some not, like Japan,
Nancy and Radio instead of Juliet, November and Romeo. Then a bit
about some current ham DXpeditions; RHC/program contact info. Next,
about how the Q-codes came about but only mentioning a few of them.
Pedro Sedano`s DX report runs from 2254.5 to 2257.0 = only 2.5 minutes
allowing for three topix: Tajikistan on 1143 & 7245 including English
at 13-14; three BDXC-UK pdf publications for free download; and Angola
on 4950, each with contact info. Last, ``glosario HF`` about ``onda
estacionaria`` = standing waves, briefly.

Closing credit for guión by Malin? whose name I copied before, with
call CO7CW --- pretty sure of that but QRZ.com says he died 8 years
ago: ``CO7CW Cuba flag Cuba, WILFREDO LEON, SILENT KEY On 3/09/13
Fallecio En La Fecha Indicada, CIEGO DE AVILA, Cuba``. Maybe call has
been reissued? And Arnaldo Coro, CO2KK also credited as a colaborador.
Next and final airing at 0140 UT Monday, confirmed in progress at 0144
on 11850, S9+20 but suptorted; altho Sedano thought there was a 4th at
0735, which would now be at 0635 if you can find a frequency still on
air in Spanish, like 5040 instead of English or off; or maybe webcast
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, April 5 at 0159, RHC English frequency of choice
tonight instead of 6145, // 6000 and not 11850 which is back in
Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 12040, Apr 4 at 2206, KSDA confirmed with `AWR Wavescan` on
UT Sunday, local Monday morning; Ray Robinson finishing something
about Brasil, handing it back to Jeff. S9+10/20 into Bandung SDR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7730, April 5 at 0100, right after WOR on
WRMI, Overcomer Ministry announces death of Brother Stair on April 3.
It`s also on TOM website, and we have stories from Charleston TV
stations, forwarded by several DXers:

Ralph Stair, Colleton County preacher accused of sex crimes, passes
away --- by Matt Dillane Sunday, April 4th 2021

https://abcnews4.com/news/crime-news/ralph-stair-colleton-county-preacher-accused-of-sex-crimes-passes-away

Colleton County pastor Ralph Stair dies

https://www.live5news.com/2021/04/04/colleton-county-pastor-ralph-stair-dies/

How would you like your obit to be about your sex crimes? Or merely
connected to some unknown county rather than worldwide impact as the
Last Day Prophet of God? I`m sure we`ve not heard the last of BS ---
most of his 24/7 stuff was already playbacks, sometimes decades old.
As long as deluded psychophants keep the $ $ $ flowing, he may live
forever like PPP, DGS and other broadcast gospel huxters. Stations
subsisting on that cash may be nervous and in for cutbacks --- WRMI,
WWCR, WBCQ. TOM homepage lost its signature image of a boneyard years
ago.

5890, April 5 at 0203, BS sounds very lively on WWCR-4 pleading for
people to contact him. His was such an individual ego-trip that the
deluded are in for a big disappointment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Apr 4 at 2200, NO signal from VOT English, just heavy
S9+20 RTTY into KB0FX SDR --- but RTTY stops at 2205* uncovering still
no VOT. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO monitoring: confirmed Sunday April
4 at 2200+ on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.926 varying to .927, via KB0FX SDR
in SAM mode showing carrier offset from 6160.000 of minus 73 to 74 Hz
--- but it`s last week`s 2079!! Despite 2080 having been available for
almost 3 days. S7-S8 anyway.

Also confirmed Sun Apr 4 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, S8-S9 into MO SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Apr 5 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon Apr 5 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, S8-S9 into KB0FX,
and on 5800, S9+20/30. Next:

1801 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy [ex-1901]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
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:

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support:
thanks this week to Benn Kobb, Arlington VA, 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)

** U S A. 5050, UT Mon April 5 at 0147, WWRB on again, S9+30/40 with
screaming high-pitched southern-accented gospel huxtress same as heard
last night; presumably shortly to be silent again until next Saturday
night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6060-USB, April 5 at 0200, weak intermittent 2-way in
Spanish INTRUDERS, partly demodulated by fluttery JBA carrier,
presumably Iran, as RHC not on quite yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0345 UT April 5

Logs
** CANADA. 366-MCW kHz, April 4 at 0604 UT, ND beacon dash and YMW,
which is 500 watts from Maniwaki, Quebec. Where`s that? North of
Gatineau on the way to Mont-Laurier. Where`s Gatineau? Probably the
most under-rated city in Canada, overlooked as a mere suburb of Ottawa
across the river/border. In fact, population of Gatineau is 265K, i.e.
more than 4X Victoria BC which everyone has heard of; while Ottawa is
883K; but eclipsed by Maniwaki of only 4K yet with this continental
signal.

413-MCW kHz, April 4 at 0603 UT, NDB dash and YHD, 250 watts from
Dryden, Ontario. I am savouring the ones I can still detect as we head
into the spring storm season. Tonight there is only a bit of Blitz in
southern TX and the SE corner of NM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, April 4 at 0537, RHC English is back here after 6145
last night; can`t decide which? Hard-soul music during `Music with a
Message`, concentrating on 1971 US anti-war era. 6100 is S9+30 but now
developing a squeal à la WWCR-1. 6060 is S9+10 not buzzy for a change
but distorted. 6000 is S9+30 but lo-fi A/B comparing to audio
bandwidth on 6060. 5040 is back in English for a change, S9+30.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140 // 11760, Sunday April 4 at 1501, RHC opening weekly
Esperanto; OM announcer still can`t shake his first-language Spanish,
misaccenting politíko as polítiko --- those stripping accents out of
my reports when quoting may have no idea what I`m talking about. Then
standard sign-on announcement with schedule, so I listen closely: yes,
still outdated as the Esperantists are clueless about their own SW
broadcasts: claims Sundays at 0800 on 6100, but which wolfie just
confirmed is really at the summer timing of 0700; 1600 for this one on
11760, only, the more recent addition of 15140 unknown to them; and
2230 on 15730, which maybe will chance to be correct, TBD. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13568, 13634, 13767, 13834, approx., April 4 at 1358, FM/AM
spurblobs out of RHC 13700-AM, all with F# tone, at 66-67 kHz
intervals and X2. But can`t hear any X3 third-order blobs. 13834 also
QRMing a weak AM on 13835, which would be RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan
about to close or more likely its ChiCom jammer. Spurs resumed after
missing a few days; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, April 4 at 1926, open carrier at S9; 1930 RHC starting
French program, cleaner modulation than on 15140 English with mailbag
at S9+10. This is evidently the start of the European service, which
RHC French page still shows at 2030 for B-season:
https://www.radiohc.cu/fr/de-interes/frecuencias
Something`s always wrong at RHC. Aoki/NDXC shows 15370 only at
1600-1900 in Spanish, which I think has never been correct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 263-MCW kHz, April 4 at 0608 UT, CVM, 25-watt NDB at Alton -
CiVic Memorial, Illinois.

347-MCW kHz, April 4 at 0605 UT, AFK, 25-watt NDB at Nebraska City, NE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 6060, April 3 at 0551, RHC English with the perpetual buzz;
6000 OK, 6100 off, 6145 VG, 5040 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)


TURKEY [and non]. 9830, Sat Apr 3 at 2258, VOT is on the air
without RTTY but German IDs & IS; after English hour of mostly music,
promos and COVID-19 warnings, no mailbag. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler. Sloppyrators haven`t turned it off, so German news starts
at 2301, good into Virginia SDR, but off before 2316 recheck. At least
The Mighty KBC no longer has to be concerned about TRT overruns on
5960 --- if it ever was, and in a month it`s to resume 9925 just like
Croatian Radio Zagreb used to do (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
