** ALBANIA [non]. Re my report on Tirana via WRMI, WOR iog replies:

``As I reported earlier, the Radio Tirana program via WRMI on 7780 kHz
on 12 April at 2230 UT was (nominally) 30 minutes of polyphonic music.
I believe the announcer introduces the program with "Join us for some
information about Albanian Easter Holy Sunday ... Albanian Easter
polyphony is a traditional part ..." So, this was a special Easter
program. But new this year? -- Richard Langley, NB``

``Hi Glenn, I have monitored the podcasts of R Tirana as uploaded by
www.radio360.eu --- These were all 30 minute transmissions (although
Tuesday 7 April only really consisted of an 8 minute news broadcast
followed by music). Programmes monitored were as follows:

Sat 4 April: xx02 News; xx08 "Mosiac of the Week"; xx13 "Folk Music of
Albania"
Mon 6 April: xx02 News; xx08 "Albania in a Week"; xx12 Music
(standards & pop)
Tue 7 April: xx02 News; xx08 Music (standards & pop)
Wed 8 April: xx02 News; xx08 "Albania & EU Integration"; xx10 Music
"Hits Through the Years"
Thu 9 April: xx02 News; xx10 "Albania Economy and Facts"; xx12 Music;
xx17 "Around Albania" (Tourism); xx24 Music
Fr 10 April: Repeat of entire 9 April transmission
Sa 11 April: Undateable feature on Albania polyphonic music (which I
think I've heard before - possibly it's an "emergency reserve"
programme)
Mo 13 April: xx02 News; xx08 "Albania in a Week";
Tu 14 April: (8 min programme only described as "news edition")

By the way, the announcer on 4 April at (xx08) mentioned "you can hear
the English broadcast of R Tirana can be heard on the shortwave of
6005 kHz from 2 to 3 o'clock pm". That is local time of UT +2 - it's
actually 1230-1300 UT). Alan Roe Teddington, UK`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, April 15 at 0545, RTA in Arabic via FRANCE is
still/again getting jammed(?) by tones/beeps (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800, April 16 at 0238, again no RAE as scheduled
and really heard 48 hours ago, but WRMI world music fill --
``Milonga`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. Just in at 0142 April 16: ``Hi Glenn, As of today Radio
Educación 6185 kHz "Cultura México" is going to broadcast from 2000 to
0800 UT. There has been an important improvement in its signal as they
are already using the 10 kW transmitter. They may adjust the schedule
depending on the results. Best wishes, Julián Santiago.
Enviado desde mi iPad`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. DXmap showing sporadic E into the FM band, so
since we have some essential grocery shopping to do, I also tune
around on the caradio, April 15. Strangely neither now nor later do I
hear a bit on the few somewhat open frequencies in the non-commercial
band, which would give the impression there be no DX happening. A
cardinal rule of Es DX is that it works upward from lower
frequencies.

93.3, not till I tune up to here do I hear something, and it`s not an
open frequency but occupied by 100 kW KJKE OKC. But something in
Spanish has captured, April 15 at 1911 UT, soon ID as ``Exa FM -- en
tu casa, carro``, etc. Search on WTFDA FM Database, essential
reference at:
https://db.wtfda.org/

finds only one Exa FM on 93.3, viz.:
``XHPS-FM 93.3 VERACRUZ VER MEX 30.94 kw ERP 208.0m 19-09-14 96-06-30
Spanish ---- EXA FM EN TODAD [sic] PARTES...PONTE EXA! SPANISH POP EXA
FM``

Spanish on 93.3 makes another resurgence at 1918 discussing something
on Netflix? mixing with the Jake FM C&W.

Veracruz is at prime Es distance, seen/heard many times before:
1919 km = 1193 statute miles. Then I keep bandscanning, alert for any
other hints of Spanish, notwithstanding some Okies and Kansies.

94.1, April 15 at 1912 UT, some weak Spanish mixed in the CCI.
Certainly not definite, but there is only one 94.1 in the Veracruz
state PTA:
``XHHV-FM AM 1310 94.1 BOCA DEL RÍO VER MEX 25.0 kW ERP 65.99m
19-07-58 96-07-50 Spanish ---- LA FIERA 94.1 FM SW 09 REGIONAL MEXICAN
LA FIERA``

Less likely but also a possible SS fullpower groundwave remnant from:
``KLNO 94.1 FORT WORTH TX 98.0 kW ERP 485.0m 32-35-22 96-58-10 Spanish
HD 2E6C QUE BUENA QUE BUENA Language REGIONAL MEXICAN 94.1 LA QUE
BUENA``

94.1 also has growing CCI at 1916 UT from our nearest fringe gospel
huxter with several other frequencies, ID as ``The House FM,
Stillwater 105-9``. Flagship is really 89.7 in Ponca City = local in
Enid:
``KTHM 94.1 WAYNOKA OK 9.8 kW 122.0m 36-34-55 98-52-12 VARIETY THE
HOUSE FM``

92.1, at 1932, some Spanish in and out quickly about películas. Again
there is only one in Veracruz:
``XHPG-FM 92.1 CÓRDOBA VER MEX 49.95 kW 213.0m 18-52-34 97-00-15
Spanish GRUPERA LA MEJOR`` [KAMG-LP Enid still silent]
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) See also USA [and non] for a Mexican ham
on 6m during this opening

** U S A [and non]. It may not feel like spring with lows near
freezing here, but it`s time to keep an eye on the sporadic-E map:
https://www.dxmaps.com/spots/mapg.php
April 15 around 1800 UT, it shows MUF blobs *all* over the USA, mostly
below 30 MHz, but a few higher approaching the FM band.

There are a few short-skip contacts on the 18 MHz ham band, but no
phone activity at all on the 21 MHz band; a bit of CW/digital at the
low end. Nothing much on 24 MHz, but at 1814 UT, WWV is inbooming on
25000, less than 500 miles away and normally inaudible; much better
than on 20000.

And 11m CB is hopping, with pileups of hets on several channels:
26965, 27025, 27085, 27135, 27205, 27285 and various freebanders
beyond. 27185 is still blocked by constant noise from Enid jammer:
that should be getting out and no one anywhere else could locate it.

28 MHz hamband is also open, such as at 1821: 28380-USB, in the 10-10
club/net, N5MK, Mike in Louisiana, I thought he said but N5MK is
really an SK in Texas, per QRZ.com.

In the next hour I`m DXing FM on the caradio; see separate logs.

Ten is still open at 2200, with 28500-USB, N4RLD near Atlanta
contacting weaker AG7JS in northern Utah:
N4RLD USA Rickie L Dingler Moreland, GA 30259
AG7JS USA Warren C Bassett Wellsville, UT 84339

The R75 tunes up to 60000 kHz, but I seldom even try six meters as I
have no VHF antenna for it; but I tune anyway and find the same LW as
used for HF and MF has no trouble hearing at 2208 April 15:

XE2NBN 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.

XE2NBW Mexico YEPIZ RUIZ LUIS CARLOS, MONTERREY, NL 64000
Check out his Yaqui motto/oath:
https://www.qrz.com/db/XE2NBW

Simultaneously on exactly the same frequency, 50135-USB I hear a US
understation making his own QSOs but he and XE2NBW are obviously not
hearing each other. AC4TO in EM70:
AC4TO USA KEN L REECY, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32317

50120-USB, April 15 at 2218, N4CLJ contacting a KK5##; says he will
also be on 2m, 144.210:
N4CLJ USA Carl L Jones, Lecanto, FL 34461

In the following hour, more FM band DX also from FL as in separate log
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. The Sporadic E DX opening is still going April 15 at 2330 UT
when DXMaps shows an MUF of 107 MHz due east of Enid, so after a rest
it`s back to the caradio, now parked in garage, to hear what I can
hear; Once again there is NO DX to be found on marginally open
non-commercial frequencies like 89.5, 90.7; but there is CCI on a
number of 92+ channels, including 93.3 & 93.7 vs semi-local Okies.

92.9, April 15 at 2338, ``Hang in there, southwest Florida, we`re
Kix-country 92.9``, viz.:
``WIKX 92.9 CHARLOTTE HARBOR FL 100.0 kW 246.0m 26-53-47 82-14-27
COUNTRY KIX COUNTRY 92.9``. They have trouble spelling Ikx. C.H. is at
the mouth of Charlotte Harbor near Punta Gorda, 1823 km = 1133 stmi
from Enid.

96.5, April 15 at 2340 UT, talk show with fading but atop two fringe
Okies, hosted by ``Kevin and I``, saluting the ``Orlando Evening News
Scumbag of the Week``, someone complained by waiter Joe who left zero
tip for a $ 120 restaurant bill. This is:
``WDBO-FM 96.5 ORLANDO FL 99.0 kW 454.0m 28-34-07 81-03-16 HD 5CBC
96.5 NEWS/WEATHER 96.5 NEWS/WEATHER News TALK NEWS 96.5 //WDBO 580``

100.3, April 15 at 2342 UT, YL in Spanish talking about Florida
Polytechnic in Lakeland; soon fade out. It`s the only SS, nearby:
``WRUM 100.3 ORLANDO FL 95.0 kW 484.0 28-34-51 81-04-32 Spanish HD
13A0 - 'KBJS' LA RUMBA Song/Artist LA RUMBA Song/Artist Top 40
TROPICAL RUMBA 100.3 MAS MUSICA VARIADA`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** ALBANIA [non]. 15770, April 14 at 2030, I make a point of
monitoring WRMI, good enough via an eastern US SDR, but not making it
to the substitute receiver at UTwente. Because it`s time for Radio
Tirana relay, reported recently to be partly or wholly music fill,
leading us to suspect the automated recording of the English service
is grabbing it at the wrong UT since DST started in Europe more than a
biweek ago. But now we get it:

2030, Radio Tirana IS, theme and canned sign-on in English, Klara
always claiming they can only be heard on internet, and pronouncing
the URL incomprehensibly in English. And into news by other announcer,
seemingly current with latest COVID-19 statistics and little else
until 2038 cut abruptly to music fill, obviously not Albanian, but
from WRMI`s World Music reel starting with a hymn at a tropical beat.
2041 pause for WRMI ID in Spanish! by Alfonso Montealegre, my old
colleague from Radio Enlace on Radio Nederland.

On the Hitlist, http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm --- I go looking for
what`s up at Radio Tirana.

http://rti.rtsh.al/radio/

``Emisioni ne gjuhёn --- Orari Ditёt Transmetimi Angleze
18:00-18:30
22:00-22:30
00:00-00:30
03:30-04:00
08:00-08.30
10:30-11:00
13:30-14:00``

Those are no doubt in local time of UT +2, the original at 16 UT and 6
repeats on the ``live`` webcast.

``Kontakt:`` gives us spelling of the announcers, with c-cedillas:
English: english@rtsh.al — Klara Ruçi, Ervin Çali

Then I check the podcasts via
http://www.radio360.eu/index.php/english-podcasts/74-albania

and find at the top today`s April 14 edition which is identical to the
8 minutes I just heard on WRMI, axually lasting 7:57! ---
http://www.radio360.eu/mplayer/podcastplayer-e.php?datei=http://www.radio700.info/podcasts/en/al/tirana/./20200414_1800.mp3&feed=albania

So as presently set up, R. Tirana relays contain 8 minutes of news
only, and that may well be all that RT is putting out now under
current circumstances, despite full half-hours being reserved.

7780, April 14 at 2230, two hours later on WRMI, I can barely hear
direct the RT IS at its new repeat time. 2238 cut to different music
fill, Andean, a quena & guitar tune but not the usual one.

Beware: not all of these RT relays may appear every day of the week if
there be something of higher priority (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800, April 15 at 0250 checking for RAE relay via
WRMI as logged in detail last night --- but NOT this time! African
percussion world-music like from the WRMI filler loop instead, not
RAE; yet at 0256 Eslovaquia outro in Spanish as if they had been
playing such music; 0301 recheck still on with ``Andean`` music, 0309
WRMI Spanish jingle and Jeff White ID in English, more music; off at
0330* after a few sex of deadair. So what became of RAE??. See also

inbooming on 11780; anyway no ACI to 6185 MEXICO, q.v.

However, here`s an audiovideo about RNA: ``After a tender which EBC
requested a 100 kW HF DRM transmitter, they aired this video on TV
Brasil:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAKy9Z6QO3w
Cheers, Rafael`` via DRMNA iogroup via Ian, swsites. Specifically
about the facilities from 17:46; testimonials from grateful listeners
in the outback (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non?]. 711.00 kHz, April 15 at 0138, the off-frequency
carriers still here hetting 710 stations; yes, not one, but two of
them beating at rate of 204/minute = 3.4 Hz, one of them one of the
Radios Rebeldes offshifted for more annoying jamming, and perhaps the
other; altho I am getting also some mostly weak TA carriers; see UNID
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, April 14 at 1808, dead air from RHC, while the only
other midday frequency, 15140 is distorted and hummy worsening the
already choking Arabic. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, April 15 at 0135, XEPPM better than usual on
slightly minus frequency, music undermodulated but almost sufficient;
and no ACI from off RNA 6180 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SLOVAKIA [non]. 9395, April 15 at 0252, WRMI with interview in
English about GF & Easter, so another gospel huxter client? No, faked
out as soon mentions Bratislava. RSI not known to be scheduled now.
Also ending at 0256 on 5800 has been RSI in Spanish or at least so
announced following fill? music; instead of ARGENTINA, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, April 15 at 0128, WRMI closing RTI Spanish
relay with schedule, as if only one frequency each, next one at 0200
on 5010 only, rather than that *PLUS THREE MORE* as I monitored last
night but not checked tonight; don`t they read my reports? Or look at
WRMI skedgrid? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 14 at 2201, VOT English underway successfully
today except for the RTTY QRM from NAU Puerto Rico; but the R75 ANF
feature helps a lot to minimize it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17530, April 14 at 1756, VOA in English ending an interview,
1800 News voiced by ``remote`` Joe Palka (sp?), 1805 `African News
Tonite`. S9/+10 but not the big solid signal Grimesland used to
provide daytime on 15580 or 11720. This sesquihour at 1700-1830 is now
the *only* English broadcast from GB; like the previous ones, 250 kW
at 94 degrees eastward to Africa, but unlike them, too close to the
MUF / too close for hefty skip off the back on this band. Maybe those
a bit further west can get it better? Certainly not further east
(except with sporadic E/short-skip in play), until the mid-Atlantic
where the first F-layer hop plunge down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WRMI: See ALBANIA [non]; ARGENTINA [non]; SLOVAKIA [non];
TAIWAN [non]

** U S A. 6159.911V, 0132 UT Wed Apr 15, WBCQ, S9+20/10, still on here
instead of 5130, rippling carrier marring modulation, which is *not*
the `W5KUB Amateur Radio Roundtable` as scheduled 0100-0230 on 5130,
but --- after NHTSA PSA, `Hal Turner`! // 7490.1v and WRMI 9455. But
Turner is supposed to be on 5130 only on UT Thursdays at 0100-0300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic just-barely-audible MW carrier search,
despite K-index of 3, April 15 at 0143-0150: 531, 558(2), 621(2 @ 3.2
Hz), 639, 684, 774(2), 828, 855(2), 882, 891, 909, 936(2), 1026(2),
