** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, April 18 at 0128, pirate music at S9-S7.
Many logs here say it`s Ballsmacker Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65766.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.03, April 17 at 2216, VOT is on with music, but so is
NAU RTTY, adding up to S9+10, diminished but not eliminated by ANF on
the R-75. A brief English comment by the OM announcer circa 2227, more
music, and RTTY finally stops by 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 9800, April 17 at 2058-2100*, BaBcoCk/Encompass IS, so must be
Woofferton, a test? No, I see in Aoki/NDXC that this is ``WBCQ``
World`s Last Chance in Arabic at 1800-2100. Well, this relay has
nothing to do with WBCQ; it started this month since the 500 kW from
Maine proved to be insufficient, but I had not sought nor heard it
until this random hit on the caradio memory bank. I believe others
have said this is not // the simulArabic on 9330 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 18140-USB, April 17 at 1812, KM6TS concluding a contact with
a KA2, and immediately into CQ, which draws another contact with
W7CDP. Mentions that he had had an unusually short distance QSO with
someone in Arizona. QRZ.com shows he is:
``KM6TS USA ELLIOT P QUICK, JR, PALMDALE, CA 93550 USA``

6m DXMaps show some Es MUFs sufficient for this but not into VHF, let
alone the 88+ MHz FM band. Then I find one other on 18 MHz band:

18150-USB, April 17 at 1814, from Vegas lamenting that it`s a ghost
town, everything on the Strip and beyond, closed. Eventually 1821 ID
as KE7JHA in contact with an AL7.
``KE7JHA USA David B Kutiej Las Vegas, NV 89108 USA``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2030 monitoring: due to a typo in
the file name to WRMI servers only, completely my fault, the new 2030
edition did not play, but instead 2029 repeated Friday April 17 at
2200 on 9955, which had VP reception vs lite pulse jamming; and UT
Saturday April 18 at 0130 on 5010 & 7780, both S9+10/20 but noisy, and
5850 VG S9+20/30. Now corrected, the remaining WRMI airings will be
#2030, and this did not affect any other affiliates or podcasts.

Next:
0900 UT Saturday Unique Radio NSW 5045-USB or 3210

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat Apr 18 at 0000 I`m on the WBCQ webcast,
hearing the FKB gospel huxter still talking under the automatic WBCQ
ID, but quits before ``William Tell Overture`` starts. A&A are doing a
new show live from Deland of Fla, trying to be upbeat, main topix
being air conditioning, searchlights, and the superiority of
electro-mechanical equipment over solid state = not subject to RF
interference. While I record the rest of the webcast to check later,
at 0047 I move to monitor the SWs: 7490.1 and 5130 are on, but not
6160v, despite AW having twitted earlier that it would be.

The last quarter includes: 6160 has had some issues but will be
working on it; are understaffed in Maine, not enough engineers but
those working are doing the best they can, essential workers, also
observing social distancing from each other and anyone else.
Acknowledges that Hal Turner has been running on 6160 // 7490.

Spends several minutes scanning logs from the new Free Radio Weekly
just in, which includes more than usual from me, but AW never credits
the reporters, just goes over some stations, frequencies as if they be
permanent, and program content. Says that 4955-USB was playing
Peruvian music, while I only pointed out it was also frequency of a
legal Peruvian station, not heard. Out of time, no prayer even started
before canned ID cuts him off and into Hal Turner.

BTW, I`ve just heard from his son that John Carver, mid-north Indiana,
who usually monitors AAAWWW for us, is fine, but his computer is still
out of order (and I guess no library access either, which might also
explain the silence of Artie Bigley as mentioned at start of WOR
2030). (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7637-USB, April 18 at 0124, encrypted military traffic
except for one ID/codeword ``Moonshine``. In alfanumerix, he is
careful to pronounce 5 as ``fife``; that`s to make it less confusable
with another long-I number, 9 = ``niner``. I`ve previously logged this
frequency in the morning as a ``Triblade`` CAP net. But why the
mumbo-jumbo if it`s Civil? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Talk about right place right time right circumstances when DXing!!

I was tuned to 880khz this morning at 5:58am mountain in Laramie, WY and
heard some music bubbling under Rodney Zeigler's 50KW Blowtorch, KRVN 880
thats only about 350 miles away. Fast forward to 1 minute into this clip,
listen and hear what I can now positively ID thanks to the other station
running their legal ID at exactly the same time KRVN took 5 seconds to do
it's pattern change.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.97-CUSB, April 17 at 1502, JJBBA carrier from
LRA-36 with another special broadcast, as tipped via Manuel Méndez on
the WOR iog by 0500, to start at 1400 with "FUNDACION INSTITUTO
ANTARTICO ARGENTINO".

Then I try the three KiwiSDRs in Brasil: Campo and Rio are getting
nothing but noise, but as soon as Pardinho opens to me at 1512, there
it is, altho quite poor compared to other occasions; propagation must
be degraded even that far/close. I keep on it, tho:

Too weak to understand much, but I can tell W&M are talking about
Antarctica. Is it really aimed 180 toward the South Pole as Ivo thinx?
That doesn`t make sense. 1530 some music for the first time, 1533 back
to talk; 1543 sudden fade-up and stays much more readable for the
remainder: was there any change in transmission? 1545 brief burst of
buzz QRM, fortunately only once. 1551 canned ID ``Nacional Antártida
en todo el país`` as show is no doubt being carried on the entire
Argentine network. 1554 resume discussion. 1600 contact info. 1602
song; 1608 abrazos to oyentes; acknowledging someone in Italy
listening on web; ``en todo el país, la radio pública``. 1614 the
moving ``Antárdida`` hymn. 1617 canned ID again as above and a bit of
music to cutoff*. These specials typically run 2+ hours. Pardinho had
one other listener to it, from Los Angeles (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 11830.114, April 17 at 1417, JBA carrier. Of course,
it`s UAE site, known for its offfrequenciness, this half hour being
NHK World Radio Japan relay in English. Might we have better luck on
// 9450 via Tashkent? Hardly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 50135-USB, original report of XE2NBW, by Es, 2205 UT April
15, had one typo in callsign as XE2NBN but the other references were
correct. Fixed:

XE2NBW in Monterrey NL, making quick pro-forma contacts in accented
English as if there were a contest, adding only his own grid, DL95,
but the others generally inaudible here, one being in EN53.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME. 15460.068, April 16 until 1859*, JBA off-frequency
carrier. It`s VOA Shona service. Hope all those Zimbs can tune to
three decimal places (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TINIAN. 13795.049, April 16 at 1446, Chinesish talk at S5-S7. Off-
frequency must be Saipan? No, this time it`s sibling station across
the Saipan Channel, scheduled this hour only RFA in Cantonese, not
worth jamming? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 kHz, April 16 at 0620 UT, regular ND beacon FBY in
Fairbury NE has QRM from another underneath --- hard to pull out but
slightly different pitch and period so that at times it`s mostly
sending during FBY pauses: UI, which is 30 watts from QUIncy IL.

FBY alone is audible again April 17 at 1344 UT, almost two hours after
sunrise here at 1155, so is this skywave or groundwave? Fairbury is in
SE Nebraska only a few miles from the Kansas border, 422 km = 262
statute miles from Enid. Quincy IL is 690 km = 429 stmi (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395 kHz, April 17 at 1346, NDB CA, which is 25 watts from
Newton - Harvs, Kansas.

404 kHz, April 17 at 1347, NDB HU, which is 25 watts from Hutchinson
KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Friday April 17 at 1422, surprised to find WRMI still
on, with World Music, sounds E European with accordion and voice till
cut off at 1426*; test? Supposed to quit at 1400 on weekdays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130, UT Fri April 17 at 0121, this WBCQ is back on, having
been away for maintenance since April 11 --- and with another
expansion of Hal Turner.

But 6160.017v, its substitute, is also still on //, S9+10 but
suptorted modulation. Previously it was on minus side of 6160. We
shall see if this lead to 6160v remaining airable (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 830 kHz, April 17 at 0614 UT, ID as ``102.9 The Wolf`` ---
what?? This has got to be the usual bigsig from WCCO Minneapolis. Long
string of PSAs; 0617 finally ID as ``WCCO 830 and AC on 102.9`` ---
what`s AC? Homepage https://wccoradio.radio.com/ shows nothing but
830, rather than promoting any FM. Searching leads to a few mentions
of 102.9 simulcasts.

WTFDA FM Database shows 102.9 in MN MN is not a mere translator, but
100/100 kW KMNB, country format, ``102.9 The Wolf``, but nothing about
a connexion to WCCO 830; I suppose they are referring to being buried
on a 102.9 ``HD`` subchannel.

0618 resumes `Our American Stories` --- show was supposed to be
non-political but this one features voice of David Green, Oklahoma
owner of Hobby Lobby, with his biblical propaganda. Good night, QRT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
