** ALBANIA [non]. 5800, UT Sun May 10 at 0235, Radio Tirana relay via
WRMI confirmed at new time, feature about Albanian history; but it`s
only UT Sun & Mon at 0230; good signal as usual here and the closing
IS at 0259 leads into a new WOR time too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7380, May 9 at 2207, RHC in undermodulated French, S9/+15, as
it should be for African service, ex-11880; 2341 recheck now the
English hour // 5040, back from slip/slop to Spanish stream yesterday.
Something`s not wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, May 9 at 2216, RHC in Brazuguese, ex-11700; while
15270 is in Spanish, distorted and echoey unlike // 11800. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK [and non]. ``Wolfgang Bueschel - may I then suggest that
you refrain from putting forward your personal opinions on music and
other content being broadcast on various SW stations. Why not just
report times, frequency and content without any prejudice!?

I am sure that there are many DXers around that appreciate your work.
Please don't be an idiot such as Glenn Hauser, who hardly cannot say a
sentence without attacking his personal enemies (Cuba in particular)
Best 73s Stig Hartvig Nielsen``

Wolfie on a log of 5840 WMR had said ``pop mx what else``. SHN took
great offense to that. Wolfie replied, ``I never hate any music!``

Geez, Stig, I have gone out of my way to publicize your stations -- a
fine effort to put a country back on the SW map, and this is your
appreciation? Everyone is entitled to their opinions and to express
them. May your skin become thickened. You might not be so happy about
a country like Cuba if they jammed your broadcasts! I have treated you
fairly. But I shall try to avoid reporting your stations in future,
unless perhaps someone have something critical to say about them. Was
going to mention Kuhl`s correxion on next WOR, but why should I?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. 6160, May 10 at 0101, no WBCQ tonight, just Qur`an for the
Turx from PARS/IRIB/VOIRI, to the end of Ramadan in another biweek
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun May 10 at 0103, S5-S8 of rock music
from The Mighty Farty KBC, as its second outing this year on 9925 via
GERMANY is failing, fading down to JBA by 0123. I suppose they are too
inflexible to move to 7 MHz until and unless the MUF perk up to 10 MHz
this summer? Since this is for North America anyway, why won`t Eric
put it on WRMI? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA [non?]. 8989-USB, Sat May 9 at 2208, S4 in Spanish song
sounds gospel, the Pescador Predicador indeed back. It would be nice
to have some background about who and where he is, licensed or not?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, May 10 at 0100, soul music at S9, but poor
timing when my listening priority is `Encore` on 5850 WRMI. Many2 logs
here with SSTV pix say it`s Wolverine Radio between 0031 and 0204:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,66874.0.html
Skipmunk says the song at 0100 was ``There Goes My Baby`` by the
Drifters; yes, theme tonight is Baby (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850 VG // >> 5010, UT Sun May 10 at 0100, `Encore`
another great hour of classical music via WRMI prevents me from
listening to The Mighty KBC, Wolverine Radio, the Lumpy Gravy Radio
Show or Shortwave Saturday Night --- why does everyone gang up on
Saturday night? At least Encore has an alternative, UT Monday 0200 on
WRMI 9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 9 at 2204, VOT is on today, no RTTY, still in
opening news? but just too poor at S5-S8. This is what becomes of 500?
kW over a 10-megameter path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2033 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria
confirms: ``Weak signal of World of Radio#2033 via WRMI-9 on May 9

Also confirmed at brand new time of 0300 UT Sunday May 10 on WRMI
5800; tnx, Jeff! G signal to Virginia SDR altho it`s aimed SSE like
9955, but unlike 9955 is not jammed or above the MUF.

Also confirmed at 0325 UT Sun May 10 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM at the Algeria
6065 item, so just started at about 0322, Good via Indiana SDR. Next:

Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490+, May 9 at 2203, S7-S2 of dead air from WBCQ. Still on
the Saturday schedule for 100 minutes from 2200 is `Good Sounding
Oldies` --- can`t say I`ve ever heard it and not now either (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130, UT Sun May 10 at 0101, rock music presumably `Lumpy
Gravy` on WBCQ; and 7490+ Valkyries theme opening `Shortwave Saturday
Night` on the other WBCQ, but for rest of hour I am drawn to the
bigsig of classical from `Encore` on 5850 WRMI. Why does everyone gang
up on Saturday night at the same time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun May 10 about 0030, WTWW-2 finally switches from
hamgab to TONITO. This signal is strong enough to be audible on my
portable next to noisy equipment, but at best there is annoying
selective fading distortion on the organ music; and it`s inconvenient
for me to switch to the stereo webcast, tsk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, May 9 at 0606-0609*, Canadian Coast Guard,
Nova-Scotia-area frequency, *two* roboYL in French, sound alike but
unseem duplicative or echo, equal levels until both stop at 0609 after
``terminé``. I am now thinking this be a malfunxion out of a single
transmitter rather than two clashing:
Yarmouth/Halifax/Sydney/Escoumins, none of which are scheduled on air
at this hour per http://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA. 15165, May 9 at 1359 ``Jump`` song, Chinese briefly,
timesignal and off, CNR1 jammer against VOA Mandarin via Thailand,
this hour only.

15110, May 9 at 1401, Chinese, CNR1 jammer vs VOA Mandarin via
Philippines, this hour only.

These encourage me to keep tuning downwards thru WOOB areas for more
of them:

13130, May 9 at 1403, CNR1 jammer // 15110, but here against Sound of
Hope.

13070, May 9 at 1405, open carrier with flutter, similar signal to
13130 but no modulation, just as the upper goes off. 13070 also SOH.

11170, May 9 at 1417, CNR1 jammer vs SOH.

11150, May 9 at 1418, CNR1 jammer vs SOH; altho Aoki/NDXC shows this
one stops at 1000, unlike EiBi.

I keep tuning WOOB down to 8 MHz but none further heard. But one more
later:

11675, May 9 at 1520, Chinese dialog, CNR1 jammer vs RFA Mandarin via
Saipan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 2940.133, May 9 at 0610, JBA carrier detected for the
record, despite heavy storms in the RGV and Louisiana coast, presumed
HJNT, Radio Huellas, Cali, 2 x 1470.0665, South America`s most
reliable MW harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7380, May 8 at 2301, RHC in Spanish instead of English, which
is heard only on 5040, not 11880 which 7380 replaced a few days ago.
Spanish frequency announcement, partial? of 11850 and 6000: 11850 is
also wrong, having moved onto Romania`s 11800. 7380 still in Spanish
at 2321. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, May 9 at 0123, RHC S9+20 of dead air, then suptorted
modulation, cutting in and out. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, May 9 at 1409, no signal from CRI Plus relay in
English; oops, recheck at 1521, now it`s on, S9+20 but undermodulated;
something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, May 9 at 1518, dead air of S9+20 from RHC. But no
spurblobs today.

13740, May 9 at 1518, almost dead air of S9, but JBM of RHC; long
after both are supposed to quit. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11800, May 8 at 2302, RRI starts the Spanish
hour atop RHC, but is losing out by 2309 to RHC // 7380 instead of
English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 8 at 2237 check, VOT makes it on today, poor-fair
music; 2249 CV precaution PSA; 2251 multi-lingual ID filler; 2253
sign-off as if the 1230 on 15450, IS until 2256*, off just in time to
avoid fantastical German lead-in. Something`s always awry at Ankara
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 2097.3-CW, May 9 at 0613, single-letter beacon A, every 10
seconds audible vs high noise level, anywhere but Quartzsite AZ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2033 monitoring: confirmed first
WRMI broadcast, Friday May 8 at 2200 on 9955 --- checking via remotes
instead of here: very heavy pulse jamming at Brasil, Trinidad;
Colombia SDRs gone; somewhat audible vs jamming at Bonaire, Dominican
Republic, Maine. However, good at Alexandria VA, little or no jamming
until fading down by 2225.

Also confirmed UT Saturday May 9 at 0130 here on WRMIs: 5850 VG
S9+20/30 despite omitted from new WRTH A-20 update, among other
errors; also 5010 S9+10/20 slightly better than 7780 S9/+10, both
noisy.

Also confirmed Saturday May 9 at 1323 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, poor
S6-S9, presumably much better NE of FL. Next:

** U S A. 7490, UT Sat May 9 from 0000, WBCQ with `Allan & Angela
Wiener Worldwide` --- John Carver reports:

``Tonight's show started on time on 7490. Music on 5130 and no signal
on 6160. Program came up on 5130 at 0002 but still no signal on 6160.
Allan and Angela in the studio but it is a repeat of last week's show
as Allan removes his shirt because of the heat and then they talk
about May Day. John Mid-North Indiana``

Yes, I also heard the first few minutes when it became obviously a
repeat from last week. You were right, it was Allan who took off his
shirt, not Angela; wishful thinking? He always introduces her as
``gorgeous``. See for yourself on a number of twits such as:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5005, May 9 at 0100, VP carrier, much like we get from
EQUATORIAL GUINEA after 0500; could that transmitter be onstuck?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9875+, May 9 at 0129, algo S6-S9, JBM. Nothing listed at
this time in the Big 3 references; slightly off-frequency+plus, a clew
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12535-USB, May 9 at 1407, 2-way in Spanish, laughing,
one stronger than the other. Maybe legit, as was ship station channel
117 as of Klingenfuss 2002 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
