** CUBA. 11880, April 2 at 2216, RHC is on in French, S8-S9 but undermodulated. Instead of dumping off the air before Brazuguese at 2230, it manages to stay on, not // 15230 which was already in PP at 2219 check, S9; sounds like same speaker, subject, maybe non-synchronized playouts. Something`s always wrong at RHC: hereafter: SAWA.
Today 11880 remains even past 2300 switching to English which has been missing most of the days so far in A-21. At least we now know it is still supposed to be on 11880. And should stop at 2400* but keeps going in Kriyol or French, staying on until about 0015*. SAWA. But English no longer // on 5040: at 2300 it starts frequency list in Spanish, 13740, 11760 --- and then it dumps off the air. Just as well, because 13740 is wrong anyway, nothing there; no Cuban on 13 MHz except Chinese music in non-Portuguese on 13650. SAWA. What else from RHC? 15370 at 2219 in Spanish, S9+35 but lofi with hum; 15230 S9 in Brazuguese; nothing on 15730. 15370 is off by 2303, while 15230 has switched to Spanish now // distorted 11760 and 11670. SAWA. 11850, April 2 at 2222, RHC Spanish is JBM, S7-S9 along with parasite JBA carrier on 11840, the twin on 11860 buried in Cuban jamming against no Martí. At 2303, 11850 is suptorted, mod spikes only. SAWA. 15730, April 2 at 2239, now this one is on, S9+20, but as usual distorted modulation only at peaks; wiggle that patchcord! I think it`s in Kriyol. At 2300 still same breakup, now in real French? SAWA. 6165 English does not come on April 3 at 0000 as nominally has been; I keep checking along with AAAWWW on 6159.930v WBCQ, which remains clear of ACI. Not until 0034 do I check 6145, and by golly, now RHC English is there instead of 6165! Maybe they took my advice, which of course I would never send to them directly. SAWA. 11850, April 3 at 0133 I return to receiver I had left tuned here, and guess what? Now this is in English from RHC! S9+10 with good modulation unlike earlier; but is it a mistake, and for how long? Now we have 3 x EE, // 6000 & 6145. SAWA. 6060, April 3 at 0252, RHC Spanish is S9+20/30 but still with the big buzz. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 12040, Fri April 2 at 2225, S Asian music, VP S3-S6, then seeming English; no, KSDA sked in English Sun/Tue/Thu 2200-2230, including `Wavescan` on Sundays; elsedays in SuNdanese. Would like to confirm these days once and for all, as I have feared they could be confused about local days vs UT days, i.e. English M/W/F mornings over there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat April 3 at 0200-0204+, rock music S9/+10, probably Ball Smacker Radio which is scheduled Friday nights from 9 pm ET = 0100. I check out another pirate on 6930, then back to this at 0217 when music is quiet, some deep fades; 0225 YL, ``from some wires strung up in the trees, Ball Smacker Radio``, and tenpins SFX. More rock music I don`t recognize. 0233 plug for their new website; off before 0245 recheck. Many more logs here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,79836.0.html Keyword for song titles tonight was: ``fool``. After 0315 there was a repeat reported on 4030-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, April 3 at 0204, pirate music S9, louder than BSR on AM 6960; 0206 unreadable announcement with organ background. 0215 ``Desert Rat here, comments appreciated to twodogradio@??.com and off 0216*. Many more reports from 0045: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,79835.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday April 2 at 2214, final token English semihour of the week from REE is songs hosted by Justin Coe, but not on this frequency to North America, still AWOL. Other three are audible: 15520 good S5-S8; 11940 S9+5/15; even 11685 is fair S5-S7 and no RTTY, better than the nothing we get (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, April 2 at 2213, checking direct VOT English to us: no RTTY and S6-S9 but undermodulated, hardly readable. For comparison, 15520 Spain is axually weaker on meter, S5-S8 but good, well-modulated. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2080 monitoring; next: 1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2130 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 2300 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0400] 2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2300 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 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: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html 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. 6159.924 V to 6159.930, UT Sat April 3 from 0000, WBCQ `AAAWWW` via KB0FX SDR in MO, offset frequency readout in SAM mode. Surprisingly clear of RHC ACI since it has jumped from 6165 to 6145 --- see CUBA. I half listen; first quiz question, what is a BFO? Soon answered by an e-mailer or caller. It`s cold in Fla, 50 degrees, yet the wife Allan adores is scantily-clad as he puts his hand somewhere on her. Was there nothing political?? Major subject, on and on and on, is standard shifts and clutches, wondering if young people would even know how to drive such cars. 0151 reads part of Radio World article about FCC maybe enforcing PIRATE act from April 26 with big fines --- but he misses the point as already discussed in NASWA and WOR groups, that by definition, this applies to AM & FM bands only, nothing about SW! Yet AW takes the opportunity to encourage would-be pirates to buy time on WBCQ instead. Squeezes in a few pirate names and frequencies from new issue of Free Radio Weekly just published; prayer and ID. 0100-0101 dead air on this transmitter before Hal Turner starts. I never did check 7490v this week, direct or remotedly, nor WBCQ webcasts, but AW said that the 7490 stream server has been maxing out. I keep hoping he will have some news about his attempt to purchase WHRI, which appears to have closed down. Nothing significant either in his recent twits. Here`s the version of John Carver, who was paying more attention: ``Tonight's show started on time on both 6160 and 7490 with 7490 having the better signal this evening. Opening question was, what is a BFO? Angela is scantily dressed this evening according to Allan. The opening question is answered by someone named Scott and Allan proceeds to describe a BFO for the audience. Then he asks how many young people were able to drive a car with a manual transmission and quickly after that asks how many would know how to double clutch. A short tale of Angela driving his antique cars which morphed into a discussion in general about antique cars. Phone call at 0028 from a woman that has been enjoying the talk of Angela driving the antiques and she admits that she owns and drives an older car, just one not as old as Allan's. Angela started to give us a brief Angela's Angle but was interrupted by a phone call at 0043 from Mr. Transistor Norm who talks about old cars and motorcycles. Allan then reads a short piece about the larger fines for pirate radio operators and ends with a plea for the pirate operators to buy time on WBCQ. Into emails at 0054 and a reading of the newest Free Radio Weekly. Closing prayer at 0058 and off the air at 0100 and once again into dead air. Only one political reference this evening when Allan lost his train of thought and stated that he'd had a Biden moment. John, Mid-North Indiana.`` 6159.93, recheck 0250 after Hal Turner hour, WBCQ still on with rock music. That would be `Rock Wave` originating on WBCQ-FM 94.7 a.k.a. Kixx-FM. But off the air after 0300 as I have also noticed previous nights, so `Late Nite in the Heartland` far-right talk show is gone tho still on the 6160 sked as 0300-0500 Tue-Sat. Its website still claims to be on 7490 https://www.jeffreydaugherty.com/about-us but that`s off the air too at 0340 April 3 check. O, the 7490 sked shows it as 0300-0330 only UT Tue-Sat; so need to recheck whether that fragment survive. At 02-03 Brother Scare has been appearing on 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1319.717, April 3 at 0145 UT, KLWN ID on 1320.00 with het from here by the AM/SSB pitch match method, so still WCOG Greensboro NC. No het tonight vs 1540.00 KXEL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1081.3, April 3 at 0151 UT, het against 1080 KRLD. Nothing this far off in mwoffsets; possibly local device, but the MW band is otherwise `clean` tonight, no TA carriers either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0415 UT April 3 _ 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/

** CANADA [and non]. 328-MCW kHz, April 2 at 0636 UT, ND beacon dash and YTL, which is 1000 watts from Big Trout Lake, Ontario.
335-MCW kHz, April 2 at 0635 UT, NDB dash and YLD, 1000 watts from Chapleau, Ontario; mixing with BV, 25 watts from Batesville, Arkansas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034-USB, April 2 at 1251 UT, Trenton Military still hasn`t reset its own clock, not 60, but 61 minutes slow announcing ``time: 1150``. But then wx condx timestamped 1200 from Calgary, Cold Lake. I`ve often found CHR missing, not sure if bad propagation, curtailed sked, or problems, tho it does take breaks during every hour; 6754-USB also heard at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 13795, April 2 at 1256, Chinesish music S2-S3, continues right thru hourtop. It`s CRI Malay service via Kunming site at 1230-1330. Of course Malaysia is no longer on UT +7.5 but 8.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 11825, April 2 at 1257, big Chinese vs Chinese radio war collision, i.e. CNR1 jammer vs VOA via Thailand this hour. Since this is propagating, I am again encouraged to search for the WOOB CNR1 jammers mostly against Sound of Hope which used to occupy multiple slots in the 10.8-11.2 and 12.8-13.2 MHz ranges --- not a one, except: 10960, VP only S1-S3. Aoki shows this one is vs SOH relaying RFA; but I suspect SOH itself is no longer on multiple peanut-power channels, at least not at these hours. Either that or no longer subject to high-priority jamming, megawatts vs watts. Now at 1338 April 2 there`s another inband collision making a SAH on 11785, which is VOA Chinese via Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13626 & 13774 approx., April 2 at 1327, weak spurblobs with no readable Spanish program audio from RHC 13700 S9+20; notable for the giveaway tones again close to F# above Cmiddle = 370 Hz, further displaced than usual, about 74 kHz; so I also seek X2 = 148 away second-orders, which are only traces circa 13492 and 13848. This time the tone is more obvious in AM than FM tuning. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, April 2 at 1340, RHC Spanish is S9+10 but distorted/ Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, April 2 at 1339, Kurdish? talk S4-S6; and 11540 at same time, Turkish? music S5-S7, as Dengê Welat and the TRT jammer can`t seem to get together; or possibly vice versa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 17880, April 2 at 1349, Chinese lesson in French, S9 the SSOB by far beyond JBA Sa`udis, q.v. It`s CRI this hour via Bamako II per Aoki/NDXC. In that, Bamako I refers only to R. Mali itself on 5995, 9635. However there are two CRI relay transmitters, none designated Bamako III (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 710, April 2 at 1206, choral Mexican NA ends and full sign-on? ID ONLY for XHDP, 89.7, 10 kW, La Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, street address; no mention of this nonentity AM XEDP listed as 7000/100 watts. Then live YL announcer with 6-past timecheck and right into Low German laconic-sounding gospel huxter. This out-of-place language is a regular on XEDP. Not as in IRCA Log, ``once aired German programming at times``. Earlier from 1200 were Mex NAs on 770, 730, 720, 700, 690 at least. It`s been months since I`ve been up to check these at sunrise which here today would be at 1216 UT. Most of Mexico not already on DST will suffer from it from April 4, pushing these events one real UT hour earlier. Except Sonora which stays on MST UT -7 yearound to match alta Sonora, a.k.a. Arizona, EUA (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11880, April 2 at 1402, S7-S9 German in strange accent, but mentions Bukarescht and Rumänien, so obviously RRI as sked this hour, 300 kW at 300 degrees from Ziganeschti, also USward far beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 17615 & 17705, April 2 at 1348 JBA carriers, the only ones on band besides much stronger 17880, see MALI. The pair of course correlate with Riyadh which per WRTH is now known as SRI = Saudi Radio International, or SBA = Saudi Broadcasting Authority, no longer the legacy BSKSA = Broadcasting Service of the Kingdom of Sa`udi Arabia. And there are no longer any RIY entries in HFCC as they have withdrawn; something to hide? Aoki/NDXC shows these frequencies: 17615 at 0855-1157 & 1250-1557; 17705 at 1155-1457. Also 17895 but unheard today: 0255-0800 & 1155-1457. BTW this 17615 does not seem to be offset plus as had been for ages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 7570, April 2 at 1353, really cute song in Chinese, loud & clear WRMI at S9+20. It`s Supreme Master TV audiotrack, of course; wish they would play more music; applause at end, evidently from a live event, English announcement, more traditional music with percussion, but chopped off at 1359 for ``Everglades`` ID and off the air; how rude. It would be helpful to announce what frequency be next, as SMTV is 24h on a variety of channels, one at a time. Current skedgrid shows: 0100-0700 9455 0700-1000 9395 1000-1100 9455 1100-1400 7570 1400-2000 15770 2000-2200 9395 2200-0100 5800 Indeed I figured 15770 would be next but this early, and often much later, it`s JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 13635, April 2 at 1254, Turkish talk good S9, SSOB except for 13740 Cuba, but cuts off at 1256*; sked until 1258 per Aoki. What frequency follows? No longer on 11815. Uplooked later, it`s 9840 from 1300, both on 310 degree beam to W Europe but same beyond toward us. Not checked yet but 9840 is also registered all-day but more so on weekends, for WHRI, which however may have closed down: see USA. TRT 13635 *much* better than 15450 JBA carrier for English on same 500 kW beam at 1230-1320v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2080 monitoring; next: 1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2130 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 2300 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0400] 2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2300 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 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: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html 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. As noted last night in my ZAMBIA 5915 log, WHRI absent tho scheduled on 5920, ditto 7385, making us wonder if WHRI have shut down totally at end of B-20; after all, the KBS relay moved to Greenville. WHRI sale to WBCQ still pending FCC approval? Maybe WHR have had it with SW. Alan Holder also notes to the WOR iog today: ``World Harvest Radio short wave no more? All short wave schedules and reference to World Harvest Radio have now been deleted from the "Family Broadcasting Corporation" web site. But there are links to World Harvest Television as well as to "Real Family TV" and the other domestic US radio stations run by FBC. However, I found a web page with a donation form for World Harvest Radio short wave. I guess they forgot to remove this. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` Just in case, FCC A-21 http://hfcc.org/data/schedbyfmo.php?seas=A21&fmor=FCC still has 50 LeSea! entries. Search on that and highlight all for further frequencies to check. Of course the registrations already far exceeded axual usage. Much of it had been in use only on weekends, so check Saturday and Sunday. It`s complex, but here are all the possible frequencies in first time order without the details: 5920, 7315, 7385, 9505, 9825, 9710, 9840, 9605, 17815, 21610, 11750, 13785, 17510. The lower ones allegedly resume later in the UT days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. For the first time in months since last fall, I`m awake pre-sunrise and instead of trying to resleep, turn on and tune in for trans-Pacific JBA MW carriers, April 2 at 1156, finding only 774, 747 and 828 from strongest to weakest, obviously the NHK2 big guns from Japan, i.e. 500 kW from Akita and Sapporo, only 300 kW from Osaka, respectively. But file as unID, since no modulation detected; and on R75 longwire, so no DFing. Tried for ToH timechimes at 1200 on 774, but too much splash from 780 KSPI Stillwater OK and/or an XE on 770. Today`s Enid sunrise 1216 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1725 UT April 2 _ 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/

Friday, April 02 2021
** AUSTRIA. 7385, April 2 at 0241, S Asian choral music, 0244 talk S7-S9, i.e.. AWR as scheduled via Moosbrunn in Punjabi. Off after 0300 --- when WHRI is registered to start but no sign of it, missing here like from 5920, see ZAMBIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 2749-USB, April 2 at 0306 UT, French robotic YL with marine weather for vendredi, etc., S9 but so is the noise level. DXinfocentre.com shows the latest starter was at 0240, VCS-21, Halifax NS, 1500 watts but not as bilingual. Nothing on NL channel 2598 now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15370, April 1 at 1910 and 1930 chex, big open carrier, no doubt RHC warming up as has previously been heard later in afternoon. I`m thinking, too bad English on 15140 is not on better signal 15370. In fact, it was on March 28, per Harold Frodge: ``15370 Radio Habana Cuba; 1927, 3/28; “The Mailbag Show” to 1930:24 w/letter from Phil Dampier. S9+ peaks w/strong whistle QRM. (Frodge-MI)`` However I see that Aoki shows the only timespan of RHC on 15370 as 1600-1900, in which case it would have been running late rather than early. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, April 1 at 2220, RHC in French as scheduled, but off at 2227, so no Portuguese at 2230, nor English at 2300, after which I survey all bands 5-15 MHz without finding it anywhere else. But: 15730, April 1 at 2322, RHC S9+20 with Kriyol modulation trying to break thru when peaking, barely recognizable. Something`s very wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, April 2 at 0225, S9+10, RHC humbuzz with undermod Spanish; by 0342 recheck S9 but no buzz, still undermod. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9790, April 2 at 0337, no CRI English as always relayed in A-seasons and in current HFCC. Good thing I flagged it as unconfirmed on WOR 2080, as when I try to, cannot; nor find it anywhere else on 6-11 MHz bands. Maybe just another transmitter temporarily out of order? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, April 2 at 0342, this RHC English frequency is off; but fortunately the other one is on and VG, 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4011-USB, UT Fri April 2 at 0215, JBA MARS net, think I heard an AAR9-- call.

Now in A-21 season on 6165 kHz in 49 mb instead.In 2019 Prof. Arnaldo told the world about refurbished China Made BBEF Beijing transmitter unit, now also often heard with very respectable audio quality, very tolerable, better as some test level reports in DX publications these days mentioned. 73 wb df5sx wwdxc 9700 kHz Very weak at first, but fading up to 344 0713-0738*

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
