Logs
** BRAZIL. 4885, following up my last report about monitoring for
Radio Clube do Pará, Belém: May 27 at 0455 I am hearing a poor signal
via Pardinho KiwiSDR, during a talk/interview show and it matches a
few seconds later the RCP webcast brought up via Streema --- but the
IDs after 0458 are for Rádio Bandeirantes, 840 et al., São Paulo! A
station which had abandoned SW some years ago, 6090, 9645, 11925 which
are no longer mentioned. Now it`s available to other stations at least
as an overnight network feed. 0459 IDs again only for it, not RCP, 2
am timecheck and news. The 4885 signal direct to here remains a JBA
carrier, must be very low power. BTW, our condolences to those
rational Brazilians who never supported ascension to power of the
world`s second-most-stupid president (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 245-MCW kHz, May 27 at 0624 UT, dash and YZE, ND
beacon which is 1000 watts from Gore Bay, Ontario, on the north shore
of Manitoulin Island between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, and which
dxinfocentre.com says is slated for decommissioning 2020-09-10. Nice
to be hearing this under summer conditions, with plenty of storms
across TX, 1664 km = 1034 stmi away. Simulaudible underneath weaker
and at a much different pitch is FS, which is 400 watts from Sioux
Falls - Rock, South Dakota (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, May 27 at 1358; 13020 VP, 12820 S5-S9,
against Sound of Hope. Started too late to find others this hour.

At 1444-1448: 12190 S3-S7; 11460 JBA carrier; 11440 JBA; 11170 JBA
carrier; 10960 S3-S5; 10820 S1-S3; 10720? JBA carrier. Aoki/NDXC shows
all vs Sound of Hope except 10960 vs RFA via SOH; and 10720 not
listed: instead, I compute that instead as a local mix, 9330 WBCQ plus
1390 KCRC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, May 27 at 1935, RHC English somewhat less distorted
than usual as ``Ed Newman`` opens a mailbag, mentions special
frequency for Africa, 11880! What does he know? This was replaced
weeks ago by 7380. Something`s always wrong at RHC. There is very good
reason they never announce full or current English frequencies: they
are totally unreliable! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9340, May 27 at 2200, RHC Spanish again on unlisted
frequency I logged before on one date only, May 1 at 0020. Is //
weaker 9535, and at 2236 check // 11760, but 9640 is something else in
Spanish, i.e. CRI via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imprisoning and
brainwashing Uighurs, Commies vs Commies when RHC is on proper
frequency 9640 instead of 9340, evidently another keypad slipdigit
punchup error. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also Commies vs
Commies on 9340 where the only listee is CNR1 jamming/Sound of Hope,
but none of that audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, May 28 at 0100, RTI Spanish via WRMI is still
here, opening the May 27 program; while last night we found all the
0200 RTI Spanish frequencies had been usurped by Freedom Synergy Radio
in English. At 0130, 5800 again switches to FSR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 27 at 2156, apparently local blob of noise here
vs NSS RTTY but no carrier detected from VOT now or at 2202. By 2224
under the QRM I do have a carrier and trace of TRT modulation.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2035 monitoring: not confirmed Wed May 27 at
2100 on 7490v, since WBCQ is off the air, as reported in next item.

Confirmed UT Thu May 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, good via Rochester SDR,
VP into OK.

Next WOR 2036 should be ready by early UT Friday May 29, for first
WRMI broadcast at 2200 on 9955.

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

Thanks this week for financial support from William Hassig, Mount
Prospect IL, who sent a contribution via PayPal to woradio at
yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily US funds as they will convert.

One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, May 22, WOR)

** U S A. 7490, Wed May 27 at 2051, no signal from WBCQ and still
missing after 2100 instead of WORLD OF RADIO`s only broadcast on this
frequency. At 2201 I notice that the Super-station 9330 is also OFF!
Must be some serious problems at Monticello. As of 0010 UT May 28, no
May 27 twits from AW; his latest dated May 26 was promoting ``more
great programming`` on 3265 at 9 pm [EDT = 0100 UT]. Guess what, there
is NO info about what programming that may be at
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=3265
And under summer bandnoise conditions, 3265 range is very limited.
Coincidentally I am getting some huge spurblobs on the 7 and 9 MHz
band, tempted to think they could be out-of-order WBCQs, but surely
not, as not heard on SDRs in TX or VA; see UNIDENTIFIED. 7490v is back
on air at 0045 UT May 28 check with rock music but 9330 is still off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, May 27 at 1452, KVOH back on after about two weeks`
absence, S9/+10 with gospel music and Spanish alabanzas; as before, a
few Hz on the minus side. I asked Ray Robinson to explain about the
``Shoffner-Harris`` transmitter designated on their website:

``Hi, Glenn. What you are hearing is the RCA running at 50 kW. The
'Shoffner Harris' is the transmitter we acquired from WTWW (who got it
from KTWR in Guam). It was originally a Harris SW100 (not SW100A or
B), with many components missing or damaged beyond repair. Over the
past five years, it has been radically modified by our chief engineer,
Jim Shoffner, and has thus become a rather unique machine. In
recognition of Jim's efforts, our president, John Tayloe, dubbed it
the 'Shoffner Harris'. It is still being worked on, but at this point,
it is not yet on the air. Ray Robinson, Strategic Communications
Group, http://www.voiceofhope.com Voice of Hope World Radio Network``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7330-7350, May 27 at 2051, horrible wideband blob of
extremely distorted audio, the cadence of continuous rapid speech but
totally unintelligible in AM or FM modes, let alone SSB. Separate from
and stronger than Grimesland DRM centred on 7345. I tune around and
find more of same thing, very approx. ranges: 7650-7720 peaking 7680
or 7690; weaker ones 6935-6970-6995, and circa 6610, 6260, 5900. At
2156 checking 9830 for Turkey, another such blob has landed here, and
circa 9470.

Since WBCQ is AWOL from both 7490v and 9330.00, I wonder if those
transmitters could be extremely out of order; but surely not, as at
2237 VA and TX SDRs are not hearing any of these. Must be something
local, and I sure hope temporary. The ``modulation`` does not match
any of our three AM talk stations on 960, 1390 or 1640, compared at
2242.

Not rechecked until 0115 May 28: blobs in the above 7 and 9 MHz ranges
are still there! And I tune around WOOB to find some more altho not as
strong, circa: 8400, 8760, 9115, 10200, 10550. I don`t see any pattern
relating these frequency/ranges (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13658-USB, May 27 at 1350, 2-way INTRUDERS, very weak,
not Spanish, intonation somewhat like Brazilian but not that either
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0152 UT May 28

Logs
** BRAZIL. 4885, May 26 at 0606, JBA carrier. It`s rather too early
for the Korean clandestine to be propagating, and besides, Ron Howard
reports it`s on 4880 this week. 4885 overnight used to be a standout
frequency for Rádio Clube do Pará, sometimes even with a SAH from the
other ZY, always weaker Rdif. Acreana, Rio Branco, altho WRTH 2020
shows them both not on the air 24 hours. So what is this signal now,
Acreana, or Pará on reduced power? Aoki does show Pará 24 hours, and
Acreana off 0400-0900.

On May 23, Eduard Korsakov in Moskva asked the DXLD yg, ``Clube do
Pará is off air on 4885 kHz (due to COVID-19?) for a while. Is it
planned reactivation?`` Not sure how he concluded it was off.

So I have been checking Brasil KiwiSDRs as night approaches after 2030
UT May 26: Closest is the one at Boa Vista, 1434 km = 891 statute
miles city-to-city, but the local on 4875 has terrible audio and wide
splatter blocking 4885. Almost as close is the one at Caruaru,
Pernambuco, 1581 km = 983 stmi, and on this one I do have a VP signal
in Brasilian, which is surely Pará rather than Acreana, much further
on the other side of Brasil --- and besides, the KiwiSDR nearest that,
in Vilhena has nothing but noise on 4885.

Back on Caruaru, at 2059 reception is no better, sounds like an
enthusiastic produced ID with music but I can`t copy a single word for
sure. Perhaps later hearage by this one will improve to confirm it`s
Pará even with a degraded signal? No, at 2157 there is still a carrier
but no audio in the noise.

At 2206 I try 4885 on the superior tho further Pardinho SP SDR, 2405
km = 1495 stmi due south in the dark, and now there is almost readable
Brazilian talk, news, likely official hour on most/many stations, A
Voz do Brasil without local IDs. By 0054 UT May 27 recheck, Pardinho
has only a JBA carrier which could be Acreana if Pará now be off for
the evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. MUST SEE! If you haven`t already and can spare almost two
hours, especially if you ever listened to RCI on SW; and most
especially if you ever broadcast over it! Or even as an appreciation
of *all* the now destroyed SW stations. Mick Delmage reminds us:

``[WOR] Amanda Dawn Christie's "Spectres of Shortwave" about the
closure and demolish of the Radio Canada International transmitter
site near Sackville, NB. is now free to enjoy from May 26 to Monday
June 1st 6PM EDT.
https://en.dazibao.art/online
Enjoy 73 Mick Delmage``

I bring it up at 23 UT May 26; it`s on Vimeo; not clear what the 6 pm
EDT refer to, when it stops June 1? Not taking any chances, I watch it
straight thru. Presumably one could play, stop, pause or resume it
whenever during the week`s availability window.

There are many different narrating voices, but we never see a one of
them, in fact hardly any humans during the entire film. Nor are they
named before the closing credit roll. Lots of shots of the towers,
inside the buildings, highway travel, etc. Final narration is by Marc
Montgomery breaking up as he says goodbye on the final transmission,
and then during the last quarter with only the guy-wire-strumming?
undercurrent accompanying, the towers start falling, excruciatingly,
one by one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR-1 jammer survey, May 26 at 1440-1450: 14700 & 14500 JBA
carriers; 12820 S3-S5; 12580 JBA; 11150 S9/+10; 11100 JBA carrier;
11070 S6-S9; 10920 JBA. All these listed in Aoki/NDXC as jammers of
Sound of Hope, except: 14700 and 12560. EiBi has 12560 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 14580, May 26 at 1757, JBA carrier via UTwente SDR, as
7290 is already on with open carrier prior to IRRS broadcast via
mystery/unknown/secret site. Wolfgang Bueschel had already reported
the harmonic. Ivo Ivanov, who has no connexion with Spaceline, the
present Bulgarian SW company, has long maintained that this could not
be via that site as all three transmitters are occupied, so Romania?
But Alexander Busneag says RRI scheduling shows all their transmitters
are also in use elsewhere at this hour. Ivo has often pinned various
clandestine or other emissions on ``Secretbrod``, = Kostinbrod, the SW
site near Sofia, some 20 km from him, if he can hear them on second
harmonic.

Today on same broadcast he recorded 7290 and several switches to 14580
where same audio could be barely heard at times. But he says 7290 is
not very strong at his location, which it should be?

``SECRETLAND, NEXUS IRRS EGR/UNR and AWR Wavescan#587 via SPL
Secretbrod on May 26
1800-1830 on 7290 SCB 050 kW / 306 deg to WeEu English Tue
EGR/UNR+2nd harmonic 14580, weak
1830-1900 on 7290 SCB 050 kW / 306 deg to WeEu English Tue WS#586+2nd
harmonic 14580, weak:
BUT signal on 7290 is not strong and 2nd harmonic is weak here, around
20 km from Secretbrod

https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2020/05/irrs-egrunr-wavescan587-via-spl.html
--
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLfmLlGztrY&feature=youtu.be
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWO_s5vcnT8&feature=youtu.be
73! Ivo Ivanov``

His 7290 recordings also clearly exhibit the ``RTTY`` warble
especially during breaks in program modulation, same as I hear via
UTwente. He reluctantly? agrees that 7290 is probably from Secretbrod
even tho he thinx all their transmitters are otherwise occupied.

So I wonder if it could be from some other site in Bulgaria, mainly
utility, where there is also RTTY bleeding into 7290?

Another factor leading to Bulgaria instead of Romania is the bandwidth
of 7290 compared to other known frequencies of both countries, per
Wolfgang Bueschel: almost 12 kHz wide from 7290 and Bulgarians, only
almost 10 kHz from Romanians (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. WRMI distributed this notice May 25:

``Freedom Synergy Radio - New Program on WRMI

Beginning Monday, May 25, WRMI will broadcast a new program called
Freedom Synergy Radio. The program, which will be in English and
Spanish, will advocate for Taiwan, Republic of China.

Freedom Synergy Radio will air on WRMI at 9:30-10:30 pm Eastern
Daylight Time Monday through Friday (0130-0230 UTC Tuesday-Saturday)
on 5800 kHz beamed primarily to the Caribbean and on WRMI’s Internet
stream. It will also be heard at 10:00-11:00 am Eastern Daylight Time
(1400-1500 UTC) Monday-Friday only on the Internet stream, which can
be heard at www.wrmi.net and on popular radio streaming services such
as TuneIn, Streema and Radio.Garden.

Reception reports are welcome and will be answered with a WRMI QSL
card by regular mail. Reports can be sent to info@wrmi.net or they can
be submitted online on our web page, www.wrmi.net. They can also be
sent by regular postal mail to WRMI, P.O. Box 526852, Miami, Florida
33152 USA.

http://www.freedomsynergy.world --- You can find more information
about Freedom Synergy Radio on their website``

To which I replied on the WOR iog: ``So that replaces R. Prague in
English at 0130 and Radio Taiwan International in Spanish at 0200 on
5800. However, RTI remains on 5010, 7780, 9395; and Prague at 0130
remains on 9395 per current webgrid not yet showing Synergy, which is
also, of course, anti-PRC. But who is really behind this? Address in
Coral Gables - - gh``

I missed the first broadcasts UT May 26 but monitor them UT May 27: at
0130, FSR is on 5800 in English, not Spanish for a 30-minute program,
and found also // stronger 9395, contrary to the above. Begins with
recent news such as inauguration of Taiwan president, against China`s
attempts at ``colonization`` of Taiwan, which was never part of PRC.
YL host has slight Spanish accent, not Chinese. After song next topic
at 0141 is what a great tourist destination Taiwan is, told in first
person, reminds her of Hawaii. Goes on and on until 0156, ID and
website ending program, 0157 WRMI fill music.

Still on both 5800 and 9395, 0159.5 Spanish IDs by Alfonso Montealegre
& Jaime Báguena, and 0200 start *another* English semihour by FSR, not
Spanish, but with different content, 0210 about how Taiwan should be
recognized instead of China. But wait --- from 0200 not on two
frequencies but four, adding // 5010 & 7780 very poor signals here. So
this completely replaces Radio Taiwan International which had been in
Spanish at 0200 on all four. Maybe RTI retain 5800 an hour earlier at
0100-0130 when I did not check. WRMI websked grid still has not been
updated to show anything from Freedom Synergy Radio. With a snazzy
generic name like that, why should it be limited to propagandizing
Taiwan?

Also note that Jeff says the 0130-0230 FSR broadcast on 5800 is also
on WRMI webcast --- that normally means the 9955 System B stream, so
cut into that only for FSR? or otherwise? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, May 26 at 0609, dead air except for some hum and
always squeal from WWCR-1, instead of Brother Scare who continues
unabated on 4840. This happens again and again; mis-programming of
automation? as if I should care. One less frequency for nonsense, and
more $ $ $ down the drain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** ASCENSION. 17745, May 25 at 1825, JBA carrier, off at 1833 check.
16m stations propagating are so precious that any sign of them is
notable. This is the BBC Ethiopia hour, 1730-1830 one-third each in
Amharic, Oromo, Tigrinya per EiBi; strangely, Aoki has the last third
an hour later at 1910-1930. It would be the OSOB except for VOA 17530
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, May 25 at 0548, RHC English is S9+20 but just barely
modulated/suptorted; 6060 is S9+20 but good modulation during music;
6100 is good, S9+20/30; 6145 is S9 but JBM; 5040 is S9+20/30 but with
usual squeal. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, May 25 at 2353, pirate bandscan finds one
here, S8 with soul song; 2358 ``Mix Radio International, in
collaboration with Cool AM Radio``, jazz special. Many frequent canned
IDs in different variations, some by YL voice, some by OM, as the
music plays on. Another one at 2359 ``This is Mix Radio International,
Worldwide``.

6878.5-USB, May 26 at 0010, I notice QRM on lowside from USB talking.
It`s an Army MARS net, discussing QSY to alternate frequency M06 (?),
then ``all stations, move to mike zero six eight``. In MARS,
frequencies can never be uttered in clear speech!

>From now on I am monitoring both at same time, always USB: Mix RI on
PL-880 with reelout which is sufficient; and MARS on NRD-545 with
magloop. And so this report *mixes* them together, I hope clearly:

0011 on 6880, MRI YL ID.

0012 on 6880, OM ID over music, mostly smooth-jazz now.

0013 on 6880, YL ID

0015 on 6818.5-USB, now I`ve found the alt. MARS frequency designated
M068, obviously same net group and away from the pirate QRM. Mentions
going back to check the other frequency, out.

0016 on 6878.5-USB, here they are again with QRM, but advising to go
back to the other one to send message.

0017 on 6878.5, digital mode sent, voice: did you copy? No. They off
and on utter abbreviated calls of 6 plus two letters, not always
fonetikaly. Like:

0018 on 6878.5, 6AU and Charlie Hotel, are you ready? Affirmative.
Ute-blast putting heavy QRM onto 6880 MixRI, but briefly.

0019 on 6880, YL M-R-I- ID

0027 on 6880, OM ID as before about Mix Radio International in
collaboration with Cool AM Radio, this time only, heard with e-mail
address for reports: mix.radio.international @ cruzanmail.com ? I am
not at all sure of cruzan and it was not spelt, but seems like an
apropos pirate name.

0028 on 6818.5, net contacts, 0029 digital blaaps; ``This is 6-C-B,
all I got in your message were my call letters; send again; and again,
this time with the other`s call.

Finally some full callsigns: AAR6CU with AAR6AU; one advises the other
about why message didn`t work, because cursor was at end of msg in
MT-63.

0035 on 6818.5, AAR6CE spelt with a message to exchange

0036 on 6880, YL M-R-I ID and ``This is Mix Radio International
Worldwide``; 0037 ``thanks for listening`` but not a closing yet

0038 on 6880, YL ``mix-mix``

0039 on 6818.5, 6CB with 6CH; alternative is to transmit message by
voice or get a relay. ``This is an exercise`` so time to work out the
bugs now before a real emergency with a priority message. By voice,
the code groups should be read with pauses between them, but this
increases possibility of errors; and he examples a few random
alfanumerix.

0043 on 6818.5, -CH and -CE, both with AAR6 prefices.

0044 on 6880, YL ID for Mix Radio

0044 on 6818.5, 6AU and 6CH will get together after the net to provide
info about ``finding the frequency``.

At this point I have enough and take a nap/rest; recheck at 0108, the
MARS and MRI are all off.

Many more reports here of Mix Radio International:

only one refers to some ``ham QRM``; went off at 0058*

I also search out the two MARS frequencies, and find that in years
past, I had 6818.5 once and Harold Frodge had both.

Of the full callsigns in this log, the only one getting useful hit on
google search is AAR6CH, leading to a 33-page, 10+year-old embedded
pdf about Texas Army MARS, including a photo of that op,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 25 at 2200, no signal here from VOT. Must have
come on late; 2229 check via UTwente it`s VG with music, and nothing
else noticed until 2252 COVID-19 advice; 2253 multi-lingual ID reel,
no sign-off announcement, 2255 IS; 2256 restart IS with German IDs
twice a minute but cut off air at 2259*. Something`s always awry at
Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6878.5-USB and 6818.5-USB, Texas Army MARS: See NORTH
AMERICA mixed in with Mix Radio International 6880-USB

** U S A. 13565-CW, May 25 at 1406, HIFER beacon K6FRC in Patterson CA
is JBA with repeating IDs. First time heard since March 28 despite
almost daily bandscans, and never heard at any other hour later in the
day. HF sporadic E today, DXMAP not checked until 1735, across much of
the US altho not directly amid this path. The point of a beacon is for
it to be always transmitting, alerting whenever there be a
propagational opening, but I have my doubts about this one (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 17530, May 25 at 1825, VOA with African News,
finishing by 1830 but when I detect a few-Hz SAH from a second
transmitter until one of them goes off at 1832, presumably Grimesland
despite poor signal with no sporadic-E boost, leaving a weaker single
carrier with no modulation detectable, but scheduled until 1900 is
another half hour M-F of VOA, in Kinyarwanda via ASCENSION (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2035 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday May 25 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, VG at Maine SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 25 at 0230 on WRMI 7778, VG at Maine, good
at UTwente, but VP in high noise level here in OK off beamside.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 25 at 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130, good at
Maine SDR which might have seemed too close.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 25 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair at Maine SDR
generally above jamming; fair-good at Bogota SDR with no jamming
audible.

Also confirmed, UT Mon May 25 from 1800:45 on IRRS 7290 via unknown
site, monitored via UTwente SDR, no cutouts past 1809. Tuned in at
1758 to hear open carrier except for constant low warble/RTTY which
could be a clue as to site; 1759 JIP music; 1800 IRRS brief sign-on
with only contact info the P O Box 10980 in N-20110 Milano, Italy;
quick FSN headline news and right into WOR before 1801. Now there is
no ACI from 7285 or 7295, but 7290 still sounds ``scratchy``, maybe
splatter from 7280 Vietnam stilted Spanish and/or 7300 Iran in
German.

Also confirmed UT Tue May 26 at 0109 check the 0100 on WRMI 7780, VP
here in storm noise level and with intermittent uteblaaps on LSB side
or carrier QRM; VG at Maine SDR; G at UTwente but with rapid
buzz/click QRM. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE
