I did some Africa checks using TWR's Kiwi SDR in Kempton Park, SOUTH
AFRICA. All times are UTC, all frequencies in kHz.

BRAZIL

don't even a website. 1801: News in French, 1809 Covid case numbers by
district from Lumumba arondissement, Pointe-Noire, Brazzaville, hospital
occupation rates. 44433. Close down at 1832 (EiBi - TWR KiwiSDR Kempton

MADAGASCAR
Radio Madagasikara, 5009.92 - 10 April 2020 - 1827, African music with

Same, 11 April 2020 (Saturday) - 1856, songs, 1901: Jingle with multiple
IDs "Radio Madagascar" (that's what it sounded like, maybe that's the
Malagasy pronounciation of Madagasikara, as all other words were
Malagasy, no French heard at all). News with many items about
"coronavirus". Today (Saturday) they transmit longer. Still running with
reports (still mentioning coronavirus all the time) at 2040. Still

Glenn Hauser logs April 11-12, 2020  View Printable Version 
Sunday, April 12 2020

Logs
** CUBA. 11830-11855 & 11908-11955 approx., April 11 at 1454, expanse
of jamsplat if not full pulse jamming. Tuning upwards I at first think
it`s centred about 11845, a long-gone Radio Martí frequency. But there
is full jamming against current RM on 11860 and more splat on its plus
side, obscured by 11880 CRI relay. And another range certainly coming
out of the other RM jammed channel, 11930. In their zeal to suppress
any dissent, the Cuban Commies don`t give a damn about what collateral
damage it may cause, even to their own other broadcasts (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, April 11 at 2016, RHC French at S9/+10 but distorted
with hum; while in a switch, // 15140 has OK modulation at S9+20.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 12 at 0013, Radio Rebelde back on air at S9+25
after missing last night, and now with OK modulation; but for how
long? Something must be wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, April 12 at 0457-0502*, dead air averaging S9 and the
SSOB. Got to be RHC; also much weaker 11700 with JBA Spanish goes off
about same time. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13700 // 13780, April 12 at 1343, last half of EHC `En
Contacto`, acknowledging reception report for 11840! That frequency
was replaced last year by 11850, demoting 11840 to only that minus 10
kHz JBA spur, so was it what they really heard?! Or is this another
oldshow rerun? On to Pedro Sedano`s monthly report from AER in Spain
with the current sked for WWCR Spanish, L-V 21-22 on 15825. He always
laboriously spells out postal addresses of stations which are anything
but Spanish, including H-A-S-H-V-I-L-L-E [sic]! I think he also blew
the ``1300`` but will have to listen again. Then the Spanish skeds for
safely Commie stations VOK and VOV, with their addresses. Final
segment back to Arnie at home via marvelous fibre-optic line for
propagation, but all he does is somehow connect the pandemic with
900-km DX between E & W Cuba on 2 meters --- tropo or Es? This week`s
hostess seems named Maya Quiroz. Of course, any announcer can handle
it, since Arnie writes the whole script, including third-person
references to himself. Also filled some time with vintage Radio
Rebelde clips.

6000, April 12 at 1343, presumed RHC carrier still on here, JBM,
before I ascend to 13 MHz for En Contacto.

13620, April 12 at 1350, leapfrog mixing product of RHC 13780 over
13700 another 80 kHz lower, this time with enough // modulation to
make it certain. Reverse leap on 13860 is however a JBA carrier.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15140, April 12 at 1558, JBA carrier means RHC must
be off instead of continuous, uncovering OMAN. 11760 RHC is still
running for midday. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, April 12 at 0502, NO signal from RNZI tho
scheduled here daily 0459-0658; nor other nights. If really still on
there, zero propagation where it used to be a standout, SSOB by far on
25m, in fact its best frequency of all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, April 12 at 0010, S9 of rap music. These
logs say it`s Texas Radio Shortwave on an Easter theme until 0030:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65462.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15205.060, April 12 at 1600, S8-S9 in Arabic, not //
15435v, not measured. These fit for B-19 schedule from SBC, Qur`an and
General services respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2029 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria:
``Reception of World of Radio#2029 via WRMI-09 Okeechobee, April 11:

https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2020/04/reception-of-world-of-radio2029-via.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC3Y9FhuqJk&feature=youtu.be
1300-1330 on 15770 RMI 100 kW / 044 deg to WeEu English Sat, weak``

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 12 starting at 0313 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM,
Wentzville MO during the Gateway 160 Meter Radio Newsletter; tried via
different KiwiSDRs nearby in IL, KY, none in MO; and got best results
from Edinburgh, Indiana. Next:

0130 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE [presumably still not 9395]
0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE
0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW [or 6160v?]
0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 to SSE
0900 UT Monday Unique Radio NSW 32100-USB or 5045-USB
1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania? to WNW
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

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

Thanks this week for financial support from Doug Brown of
London, Ontario and Seminole, Florida who sent a US$ cheque
to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US
funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.91, April 12 at 0009, WBCQ at S9/+20 with music, yet
rough copy in noise level. Last-minute notice came from Larry Will
that due to maintenance, Area 51 would be on 6160 instead of 5130
Saturday night from 2300. Unknown yet whether that will still apply
for the Sunday night span, including WORLD OF RADIO at 0300v UT Monday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, Sat April 11 at 1534, survey of all WRMI frequencies,
10! of which are scheduled for Brother HyStairical`s live Sabbath
service --- any social distancing in the tabernacle? --- finds no
signal on this one but TOMBS or at least a carrier on 5800, 5850,
5950, 7730, 7780, 9395, 9455, 9955; 5010 also listed but not checked.
Only 15770 is on with something else, SMTV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, April 12 at 0012, WTWW-2 tune-in finds TONITO already
running earlier than usual, S9+30/40 somewhat distorted organ music
and I`m not near the computer for the $ tereo webcast. Applause between
selexions, and considerable hum, background noise during pauses, but
doesn`t sound like air compressor. 0030 during final piece other
extraneous noises, animal? 0032 outro as again a performance by guest
Len; 0033 finished, into a Morse CQ as hamstuff resumes (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, April 12 at 0019, gospel huxter on presumed WWRB
before 3215 switch to WWCR at 0100. On air weekends only, but in
A-season normally ascends to 5050. Not yet, so when? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 18143-USB, April 12 at 1847, KW6J/7 contact with
someone in Waukesha WI, unheard. We have sporadic E opening from AZ
per DX MAP showing MUF of 30 MHz over NM in between (but nothing heard
on 21 MHz band except JBA carrier from 21525 WRMI). QRZ.com:
``KW6J/7, BRIAN C STAPLETON, 642 RAMONA DR, CORONA DEL MAR CA 92625``
But I think he`s in AZ now, says he goes back and forth to CA.

18131-USB, April 12 at 1851, another OM in Phœnix judging from local
refs, inviting check-ins to YL-System net or something like that. But
neglecting to sign his own call.

18145-USB, April 12 at 1852, among a few other phone sigs on band, Oz?
accent, says he is ex-RAF, worked in Saudi Arabia as civilian, VE7UHS.
DX Map unshows any Es UHF over this path, Rob Hatch in West Kelowna
BC, with lots of photos:
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/ve7uhs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11895, April 12 at 0503, after 11850 & 11700 CUBA go
off, this is the OSOB, S8-S9 and JBM? Aoki shows CRI English via
Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imprisoning and brainwashing native
Uyghurs; but also RFA Chinese via SAIPAN which of course requires
additional CNR1 jamming; still there at 0602 sounds like Chinese, so
likely the latter. If really Saipan, could be noticeably off-frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

75, Glenn

Saturday, April 11 2020

Logs
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, Friday April 10 at 2100, the nominal
``Italian`` hour of RAE relay via WRMI starts in Spanish by host
Fernando Farías, 2102 into the voz of Arnaldo Slaen with abbr`d
Actualidad DX, about IRRS War Room Pandemic show, Honduran FM station,
Radio Cuarentena. 2110 into French introduced as the second of their
multi-lingual shows from homes; very much like if not identical to
what I was hearing last night, April 10 at 0100 on 9395. I am afraid
that listeners abroad may not appreciate the baggage and credibility
issues Steve Bannon drags with him into WRP, one who bears
considerable responsibility for the presence of the ignorant,
incompetent, forever-impeached acting president Drumpf (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, April 10 at 0553, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30 but
JBM/suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba; 5040 RHC in
English at same signal level and with usual squealy defective
modulation but readable. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

5025, April 11 at 0217 check, now it`s off, let us hope for
much-needed repairs; while 4765 R. Progreso and 5040 RHC remain on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, April 11 at 0218 check, R. Verdad is off; despite
local noise level of S9+20, I should be able to detect at least a
carrier. A ``Good`` Friday thing? The perennial question: should pious
broadcasters transmit more, or less, upon holy days? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6931-USB, April 10 at 2323, pirate music S7-S8, 2326
W&M folksong with guitar; 2330 DJ maybe ID but caught only
``all-natural radio``, more music to close; 2342 another announcement,
being heard in northern New England; long reverb repeats every few
words. 2344, ``Yeti Radio signing off``, another song, still going
until 2350*. Oops, just a break, soon back on. More logs here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65375.0.html
I thought I heard some John Prine, as did others;

End of log above for Free Radio Weekly with 0000 UT deadline nigh. But
this station really keeps going: 2357, mentions Walmart, cut off for
music. April 11: 0009 announcement; 0023 WALMART plug as others have
noted; 0041 still going but frequent cut-outs. Without a carrier we
keep getting faked out that they`ve pulled the plug. 0110 ``gonna keep
goin` for a helluva long time``, ``Here Comes the Sun`` song to 0121*
apparently final stop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, April 10 at 2324, another pirate with
music at S5-S6. Many more logs here again as Radio 48:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65371.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15434.985, April 10 at 1518, poor signal in Arabic;
also seems to be a weaker carrier low-hetting closer to 15435.000, but
nothing else is scheduled. Not even KSA is in HFCC of course, but
Aoki/NDXC shows it at 1450-1700-1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 10 at 2229, with the Bogotá SDR still running
after monitoring WOR on 9955, I check whether VOT makes it to air
today: yes, poor signal there, but to my surprise it`s the IS and ID
in English, 2230 timesignal and sign-on --- 30 minutes late! A new
something-erroneous at Emirler, unless they have without notice and
inexplicably decided to retime the eastern North American service.
After a few minutes of news, now monitoring direct a bit better, back
to Turkish music fill, except at 2252 a brief spot with the
also-American advice about coping with COVID-19, and back to more
music until cut off the air right at 2300* when presumably only
slightly more than half of today`s broadcast has radiated (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2029 monitoring: confirmed first American
SWBC, Friday April 10 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, VG via Bogotá SDR with no
jamming audible. Since there were some problems with podcasts, I
monitor the whole thing to be sure it`s totally intact; it is.

Also confirmed starting at 0130 UT Sat Apr 11 and ending at 0159 on
all three WRMIs: 5010 VP, 5850 VG, 7780 JBA with erratic uteblasts on
the plus side. Next:

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US
funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Apr 11, tune-in WBCQ webcast with `Allan &
Angela Weiner WorldWide` in progress, as the couple are axually
arguing about some issue to do with COVID-19. At 0021 the 7490 webcast
goes silent but keeps running connected. So I switch to (5130) Area 51
webcast and hear them still going a little longer, until it too stops,
then several starts and stops; 0024 music fill as the outage is
upline, like between FL and MD or ME. Then 7490 webcast is back while
5130 in music. Maybe they eventually got back together.

Dipping in and out, seems to be same CV19 topic until last few minutes
when he gets into his repair super-power searchlights including
virus-killing UV; they were once used at Cape Canaveral to light up
night launches.

Still not hearing from our regular monitor of AAAWWW, John Carver in
mid-north Indiana; hope it`s only continued computer problems and he
can get a message to us that he`s OK.

Meanwhile, mark your calendar for May 5, per this from A & A April 9:

``Hi Glenn, Radio has been a beacon of hope and a way to spread good
feelings in bad times for over a century. In that spirit, WBCQ The
Planet will present WBCQ's Big Broadcast of 2020 as a special
simulcast on 5130 and 7490 on Tuesday, May 5 from 2200 to 2300 UTC
[presumably meaning 21-22 UT] (5pm-6pm EDT in the US).

This special broadcast will feature the presenters and music of some
of WBCQ's most innovative music offerings including Marion's Attic,
Uncle Bill's Melting Pot, From the Isle of Music, Behavior Night and
the Lost Discs Radio Show. This is a chance to escape that COVID-19
gloom for an hour and maybe discover a new favorite program in the
bargain. Hope you are well and safe, Allan & Angela`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, April 10 at 0552, WTWW-2 is so weak at only S9/+10
that I can`t hear the spurs on 5072.1 and 5097.9! Since neighbor 4840
WWCR is just as weak, we know the MUF has dropped out, a propagation
problem. The 5830 & 5935 pair are similar at JBA level. 18 hours
later, 5085 is already on and almost up to usual strength with spurs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 87.9 FM, a church in Detroit is transmitting services to
cars, per a tip from TRMS:

https://www.freep.com/story/life/2020/04/06/metro-detroit-churches-drive-in-coronavirus-pandemic/5100571002/

I haven`t heard it of course, but serves as a reminder to look for
more of these especially over Holy-Day weekend; others might be on AM
or even CB. Michigan is already full of 87.9 pirates, judging from
Harold Frodge`s logs around Midland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, April 10 at 0105, RAE via WRMI with Spanish
in progress instead of English; generic comments by Fernando Farías
about the quarantine situation with regular programming unavailable.

0111 switches to French, soon devoting its time to summary of DX info:
IRRS with schedule of Bannon`s Pandemic show; Catholic station at
Gracias a Dios, Honduras; Radio Cuarentena; letter from a francophone
DX club.

0119 back to Fernando who also does the English segment, from home.
This is the second, apparently once-a-week pandemic program featuring
all the RAE language services. How April 2 is a significant date,
anniversary of the Malvinas War in 1982y; shortened edition of the
normally-Friday 7-10 minute DX Actuality feature: again about War Room
Pandemic, sked via IRRS; Honduras station. President has extended
lockdown in Argentina to April 13.

0127 outro in Spanish gives names of announcers in all 8 languages as
if we have just heard them all, ``Made en/in Casa`` on RAE/Argentina
al Mundo: Italian, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Chinese,
Spanish, English, in that order --- but we`ve heard only three of them
this semihour and I don`t think it started at 0030 tho I was not
listening then, rather to pirates. 0130 WRMI Spanish ID by Dino and
into Radio Prague International in English.

No other WRMI frequencies checked tonight except 5800 just after 0100
when it sounded again like Radio Taiwán Internacional (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, April 9 at 1403, RHC is S9+20 but extremely distorted.
15230 and 13700 are OK, VG, no spurs; after 1900 in English, 15140 is
relatively clean today, different transmitter?

11760, April 9 at 1413, RHC is S9-S7 of dead air. Somethings` always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6953-USB, April 9 at 2324, pirate music at S3-S5;
2329 two announcers talking vs high storm noise level from south of
San Antonio and the southern half of Louisiana. ``Virus-19 Radio``,
maybe back tomorrow, maybe not. Radio conditions pretty damn good
tonight, getting up into New England. ``Good night, stay well``,
playing out on ``When I Die`` by Blood, Sweat & Tears until off at
2336*. More logs here with variations on ID with Zeke as host:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, April 9 at 2326, S4-S6 soul music, 2328
announcement but too much reverb, etc., to copy; blues music. 2337
jive music with some cut-outs, YL ID at first sounds like ``Four AM
Radio`` with hotmail address like that; Mix Radio International ID,
jazz piano; 2342 ID I then realize is ``Cool AM Radio``. More logs:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6916-USB, April 10 at 0044, S9 of wild rock, lots of
yelling over the music as if a `live` event rather than any studio
announcements. Past 0100 when I switch to 9395 for Argentina. 0131
recheck still going with more of same hard rock. These say it`s Radio
48 via MRI, having started on 6880-USB but moved to 6916 at 0028:

watts from Oberlin, Kansas; as EI Enid is still gone, but there are
loads of others on 341 I would like to hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5214-USB, April 10 at 0139, MARS? net mostly with abbr`d
calls, such as 8AM, 8HQ; one full call starting with AAR---; at 0141,
M8A in contact with 8HS, fonetikaly, declaring ``the net is free``.
Next few minutes occasional calls are ``closing stations``. Most
signals weak, a few good (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
