WORLD OF RADIO and other GLENN HAUSER audio, text ARCHIVED Many thanks to Kay Savetz, K6KJN, Internet Archive's Program Manager, Special Collections, of DLARC, the Digital Library of Amateur Radio & Communications, who has completed a lot of work amassing our broadcasts and publications going back 25 years. These are on our three websites, but now have a perhaps more permanent and organized home. ``Glenn, It’s done: your content is archived in DLARC. World of Radio is at https://archive.org/details/world-of-radio I was able to find audio for episodes 1293-2182 and show notes for episodes 924-1356.

Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** ALGERIA. 17600, April 1 at 1514, S6/S8 in Arabic? No 21550. Same at 1658 check, via Maryland SDR. So TDA is back here instead of 21550 at 11-18. But wait: 1720 recheck, 21550 is on and 17600 is off. Make up your mind? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, LRA36 on again Sat Apr 1, first notified to WOR iog: ``15476v USB LRA 36, 20.54 UTC audible with weak signals in Elverum, Norway. Levi P. Iversen`` [who used to live in Paraguay] I start monitoring at 2233 Apr 1, at first camping on Argentine SDR, S5/S8 greeting Marambio Base. 2245 interview on phoneline with hum and distortion, now hitting S9. Reconfirming there is still a reduced carrier, JBA by tuning to 15475.0 USB. After 2300 ACI from 15480 China, and no LSB available to distance from it. I`m not listening closely, too much else going on, but at 2336 Morse code catches my ear. ID as LU1ZV, which is the ham station at Esperanza, but not on ham band, also voice ID; 2343 Morse ID only again. April 2 at 0010 I check for it direct and do detect a trace vs S5/S6 local hi noise level. Back on remote, no longer hearing it circa 0145, maybe off? But others report it still later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ASCENSION. 21470, April 5 at 1755, algo JBA. A23 sked is BBC English to Africa at 17-18 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 17880, April 2 at 2240, Chinese opera, like Firedrake plus vocalizations, then Spanish announcement, S3/S6 with flutter and the OSOB. CRI scheduled this hour from Beijing 572 site. HFCC shows 500 kW, 318 degrees, i.e. aiming NW across Eurasia. Followed by 23-24 Portuguese on same parameters, but slightly different SAm CIRAF targets. It`s antipodal to Bahia Blanca, Argentina, so any direxion should work, aside from other propagational factors. And I wonder what the real ID is now in Spanish? Translating ``China Global Television Network Radio`` could get really cumbersome (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 21530, April 2 at 2242, JBA carrier is the OSOB. Exploring 13m after hearing nothing but Beijing on 16m. Aoki shows it`s CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope from Maoli, Taiwan nominally starting at 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. 11980, April 5 at 0100, timesignal and opening CRI English, S6/S8 direct = 2 x 5990 via CUBA: that`s S9+10/20 but more distorted. Neither supposed to last past 0100. Off at 0115 recheck. Supposed to change to 9580 from 0100 as sked, unchecked. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba - Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9535, March 30 at 0607, RHC Spanish S9 but undermodulated, again on air way past nominal 0500*, or is it 0600* as in A23 Aoki? But this time no clash with R. Ndarason International, still scheduled from *0600 per Aoki, but not in HFCC. J-M Aubier says RNI is now on 15505, as also in A23 HFCC without naming it. RHC off 9535 by 0616 check, still nothing else. Something`s always wrong at RHC. No RHCs were still running on 5 or 6 MHz bands, but: 11670, March 30 at 0612, RHC English, S9+20 but suptorted, supposedly not scheduled here at all but often appearing late or on 11760. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, April 2 at 0631, RHC English with UT Monday jazz show, S9+10/20 undermodulated. Nowhere in the 5s, 6s or 11s this time, and no CCI; but there might have been from Romania at 0530-0630, also 0200-0300 as duly registered in HFCC. NZ also has dibs on 9700 after 0700 but not currently using at that hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9710, Sun Apr 2 at 2247, RHC Spanish, S9+20 talking about ``tormenta solar``, so must be the propagation sexion of DX program `En Contacto`, probably starting about 2235; website has no current program timing info. Wolfgang Bueschel`s DX program schedule for A23 shows it Sundays at 1335, 2235, Mondays 0135; but not 0635 when I have heard it if a Spanish frequency be running late. Now at 2247 other active Spanish frequencies are 11850 - axually modulating, 11760, weak 9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA, 6000, April 3 at 0605, RHC English S9+30/40, only 49m still on but JBA at 0624 on second harmonic 12000. Also 9700 // at 0620, S7/S9 and no CCI - if 300 kW from Romania aimed thisaway 0530-0630 really be on? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, April 5 at 0607, S9/+10 of dead air in English from RHC, but nothing audible on 12000. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FINLAND [and non]. Scandinavian Weekend Radio, almost-monthly 24-hour broadcast scheduled to start March 31 at 2100, for the ``first Saturday`` in April, on two of: 5980/6170 & 11690/11720; 100 watts. Checking UTwente at 2120+, 6169.991v, JBA S7/S8; 11689.93885/93884 quite steady until recheck of JBA lox on 11689.93187 - Per Aoki nothing else scheduled now on either. But I`m mainly really listening to `Behavior Night` on WBCQ webcast. As 7490 reception here would be no better than Finland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 9790, March 30 at 0610, French S6/S8, weak with echo indictating long+short path. HFCC shows RFI Issoudun, 250 kW at 200 degrees for WAf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, April 1 at 0636, JJBBA carrier presumed R. Kiribati; and no other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, April 4 at 0655, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati and one other 9/kHz split: see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470 & 17480, April 1 at 1515, two VP signals direct, as no doubt Dengê Welat & Recep Turkish jammer failing to coördinate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, April 3 at 0603, S9/+20 of dead air from R. Educación instead of eclectic music, and as always slightly low in frequency. I gather from other reports that XEPPM appreciates its SW audience and sometimes calls out to them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, April 4 at 0616, S9/+10 of dead air from XEPPM, just as noted 24 hours ago: hope not always dead; maybe late-night neglect (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, April 1 at 0626, VON S7 and JBM. Gone a few minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, April 3 at 0602, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 3885+v, April 2 at 0615. Music in hamband, AM subband area, last few notes of `When Johnny Comes Marching Home`. Initially with het; trying to measure, off and on with bits of music, like 3885.1, 3885.22, 3885.26. Nothing reported around here in HFU recently or in the past week, but once something on 3724.8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7319.998, April 3 at 0601, S3 music direct, presumed pirate, Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda, last reported to be on 7320, and this is very close. Nothing else known on this frequency. Ron Howard was also hearing it, as usual much better: ``April 3, I was listening from 0625 to 0655 UT, to Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda (Radio Eastern Star), again on 7320 AM; pleasant listening to mostly Russian songs, but also some instrumental music. Is wonderful that the station occasionally plays an old Russian IS. My audio posted at https://app.box.com/s/ql1oec2kkkapgg0vx01irw3sxqk7mb23 Ron, California`` Arthur Pozner replied: ``This Interval Signal was very commonly heard on the internal Home Service (All-Union) broadcasts since 1964 until the fall of the USSR. And that song in the audio recording goes back to the Civil War era (1918-1922)`` Walt Salmaniw, BC: ``Yes, I was listening just before then and agree that reception was quite good in to Masset. I posted on the HFU, and received an eQSL from the operator quite quickly. Nice touch. 73, Walt`` Gary Pence also reports at 0640: ``The Russian guy at 7320 --- Hi Glenn, I was listening on 7320 khz at 0632z, good S7 sig, KFS omni and omni at Point Reyes. N. Utah has him OK as wo71 [?] in Northern Nevada. What has changed since 4015 is that Southern Nevada radio ranch no longer heard there and now doing a little better in Stauffer, CA KB6c and the best sig in KFS southeast at S9+5 so he must be somewhat in front of this 60 degree beamwidth. His audio is really tweeked well for AM and sometimes a little over driven. I wouldn't mind if someone tried another TDOA on this current frequency. 73s, Gary, KM5X`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7320, April 4 at 0617, S7/S9 JBA music, presumed R. Vostochnaya Zvezda pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 96.9 FM, March 31 at 2038 UT, KQOB, far-right talker is unusually off the air; back on at 2046 check. Maybe something to do with wildfires breaking out north side of OKC due to extremely low humidity, drought and high winds. In previous hour during repeat of pre-Oscars `The Score` on 90.1 KUCO, interrupted twice for NWS wildfire warnings. ``Critical Fire Danger`` over much of Oklahoma. Later, on the KFOR ``4`` news at 2200, lots of wildfire coverage. `Blew` away NBC Afternoonly News at 2230, not even displacing it to backup KAUT ``43``. KWTV ``9`` is on the fires too but displaces CBS News to backup KSBI ``52``. KOCO blows away ABC News, no known alternative. Horrible blazes and damage seen from choppers, ground. 4 stuck with wall-to-wall until 2400 UT prime time. 5 and 9 were partially back to programming by 2330. Earlier around Enid, reduced visibility due to blowing dust, not smoke. But Enid reported the highest wind gust, 75 mph, i.e. over hurricane force. I did not experience that, myself. Fires are in the corner of NE OKC, general area of the FM/TV VHF/UHF antenna farm. However, KQOB, which pretends to be an OKC station but really licensed to Enid, site is further north, west of Crescent. But there are also fires in Logan County; if not directly threatened by blazes, sites may lose juice as powerlines fall and ignite more fires. This site I had bookmarked, https://www.fireweatheravalanche.org/fire/ is useless, showing some fires elsewhere in OK but nothing around OKC! {national TV news media were so obsessed with tornado outbreak further east that we never heard any mention of our horrible wildfires! Come on, must we have tornados instead??} BTW, WTFDA FM Database still outdated about KQOB claiming it`s // 1640 KZLS, which many months ago stopped, as KZLS became // 1390 KCRC with stupid sportstalk. Would not be surprised if other OKC FM/TV signals be interrupted. Never heard the TVs mention the antenna farm (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PERU. 4820, March 31 at 0643, JBA music, improved from JBA carrier only, and nothing now from 4810 Chazuta. The new Radio Integridad IDs reported here turn out to be a station relayed by what is really Radio Senda Cristiana, OAW6C, in Cotahuasi, Arequipa, according to research by Ron Howard et al., explained in detail in the WOR iog. This missionary ministry has been going for some years on FM around Perú, but adds SW for increased coverage. They hand out anti-DX fix-tuned radios to a captive audience (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 4810, April 2 at 0623, S9 of dead air vs CODAR, presumed R. Logos, Chazuta which apparently often leaves carrier on overnight. This time would have been listenable if modulated. Also a much weaker JBA carrier on 4820, presumed R. Senda Cristiana. Seems the STANAG 4810+ from Martinique? is gone for good. Ron Howard reports: ``4820, Radio Senda Cristiana (The Christian Way Radio) via Cotahuasi, Arequipa, 0735-0805 UT, on April 2. Surprised by the very decent reception! Perhaps the result of them still adjusting the new transmitter? 0735-0758: Radio drama - my three minute audio - https://app.box.com/s/540ojbc4k3g7y1xya0ftc77ywr568f7r 0759: Unfortunately the 0800 ID was the weakest audio heard today, otherwise decent modulation - my three minute audio is at https://app.box.com/s/13ljo5n1e0feialqyswsnac7erw3cozd Ron, California`` Closest to an ID is mentioned at 1:36, ``R-R-I`` on Facebook, presumably meaning Red Radio Integridad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** POLAND [non]. 5850, April 4 at 2241, ID from Radio Poland in English, S9/+18 into Georgia SDR, but nogood direct this early; tnx to tip from Harold Sellers on the WOR iog that this is now relayed at 2230 by WRMI; 2259 outro by WRN whence fed; 2300 into Prague in French (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 9700, April 4 at 0623, S6/S9 with flutter music, German sign/off from RRI, as scheduled. 24 hours ago, RHCuba was here with no sign of RRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Mar 31 at 2205, SNR token English, NAm frequency on air today, S8/9+10 into Maryland SDR, feature Justin Coe interviewing a German `cellist, and the first recording of a concerto in F by Enric Casals, brother of Pao a.k.a. Pablo --- they were really Catalan. Also with someone from the orchestra involved; too brief bits of the axual music amid and to fill. Almost as good on 15520, slightly weaker on 17715 and 11670, all unintended for us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Apr 5 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct, S8/9+25 and also sufficient on 15520, 17715. After news, 2205 report from Beirut correspondent on how food prices up 300% especially for meat, make celebrating Ramadan and Easter tough; 2207 on to main feature about a boys` choir at a monastery (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TIBET [non]. 7505, April 2 at 2253, JBA music vs high storm noise level from southern OK vs a really nice day here: per Aoki, RFA scheduled Tibetan this hour only via Dushanbe / Orzu, TAJIKISTAN. HFCC is less specific about the station, just USAGM, but more specific about the dialect, ``Bod``. OR, of course, ChiCom jammer. WRNO could be on 7505 as early as 2200 but never is (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, March 30 at 2227, VOT English is not absent today, S9+40 into UTwente, concluding `The Captain`s Log` about travel, seldom heard feature maybe mainly Thursdays when I`m usually busy producing WOR but finished a bit earlier today; yet I`m primarily attentive to BBC and NBC news on TV. 2235 salute to S&Rs from abroad; 2237 `Did You Know That` about some city on a riverbank; 2241 Turkey`s Geomarked(?) Products; music; 2253 s/off. 2255* cut off after first note of IS: no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785, Sat Apr 1 at 2200, VOT English with VG signal into UTwente, but I`m devoting full attention to OETA with PBS show `Outside: Beyond the Lens` episode with stunning views in HD of Zion and Bryce NPs in Utah. Video expires 4/8/23 it says here: https://www.pbs.org/video/outside-beyond-the-lens-zion-bryce-canyon-1200lc/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 2 at 2247, no signal from VOT English for N America. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 3 at 2220, VOT English to us manages to be on air today, VG into UTwente on the way, but overmodulatedistorted. `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` until 2228, the horribly-accented YL with something about how to breathe correctly while exercising; later, a `DYKT` segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 4 at 2200, VOT English, 6-pip timesignal which is 12.5 seconds late compared to WWV, S6/S9 with heavy fading direct, also again today overmodulatedistorted; combined with thick accented YL discouraging listening. Recheck at 2216 it`s off! But cuts back on at *2216.7. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. At 2229 I try it via UTwente amid 2-minute multi-lingual ID fillereel; S9+53, still OM/distorted and unusually +023 Hz offset; 2235 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, April 5 at 2237, VOT English VG S9+40 into UTwente, always-with-you promo; 2242 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` repeat about correct breathing exercises, as already emitted April 3. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2253, s/off by heavily accentedess citing 1230, 1830, 2030, 0300 broadcasts only, 2255* after IS played once. First tried to hear it direct: 2159 nothing, but on by 2201, VP S3/S6 vs HNL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 9440.000, March 31 at 2158, checking for anything from Cairo, instead weak S7/S9 tone, 2200 TS and Newsroom, i.e. BBCWS as now sked for one hour via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES. Asking for trouble: perhaps they be unaware of the Cairo mess? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {as heard by UTwente; untried direct} ** U S A. 13563.5 CW, April 3 at 1458, HIFER beacon PCO from Pine, Colorado is JBA, and so is on 13565, K6FRC in Patterson California --- and seems to be another JJBBA somewhere between them but uncopiable. Several shown here: https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 13820, March 31 at 1502, JBA carrier amid residual pulse jamming on the Martí B-season-only frequency, so someone is oblivious to the danger of possible 24/7/365 Cuban jamming against no OCB. Aoki shows only 13820 now is VOA Deewa Radio in Pashto at 1300-1700 via KUWAIT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

I kept running it but at 2010 I am cut off, canned ``sign-off`` 207, 918, 1323 kHz in English; and stays on with frenetic Italian programming starting with 22:10 local timecheck, then with some English mixed in.

Same stuff was playing from 2205 when I tuned in the `7490` webcast. At first I assumed that was this week`s fare on `UBMP`, but never heard any announcements, and continued past 2300 without a break, when `Le Show` should be heard. What`s going on? Of course no twit from AW to explain it, nor anything on the homepage. WBCQ overtaken by fill music. Listening a while longer, I realize it`s a loop repeating same tunes. Harold Frodge replied, ``Heard clanking bells & weird music at 0215.`` Arthur Pozner replied, ``The carrier is 70 Hz below the assigned frequency of 7490 kHz. Brother Stair came back suddenly at 0228 UT`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, April 2 at 2251, this WRMI-5 is off, as seems to be more than on at random chex many different hours; despite nominally 24/7. Still off at 0006 April 3, when it`s supposed to be `WRMI Legends` on System K (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) WRMI: see POLAND non ** U S A. 5085, April 1 at 0440, WTWW-2 reactivated, first noted JBA into Bonaire SDR as I was scanning 60m for LAs. Then direct with VG signal as SFAW giving contact info. Had been off for a couple weeks due to George McClintock`s COVID. Nominal sked had been until 11:30 pm CT, now 0430; maybe testing. But off before 0630 my next tunearound (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, early UT April 2, WTWW-2 off again, not heard. WTWW update from George McClintock, April 1: Subject: WTWW: Harris SW100 results --- Mike Sabin {of TWR} working on the Harris SW100. - Saturday. Driver tube working at last. Now high voltage to be turned on next. Possible outcome: A. High voltage will not come on. B. High voltage will come on and arc, turning it off. C. High voltage will come on and I will be able to tune up the transmitter. D. The unknown result. Driver cover plate was missing from the driver tube causing it to not receive sufficient air flow. I was unable to find the cover and had to steal one from the Alaska transmitter in the middle building. Ted left it off and was a serious mistake. Switching modules received from CHINA, placed on burned power modules. George McClintock 4-1-2023`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, UT Sunday April 2 at 0320, KVOH is gone again from a day & time it is supposedly scheduled. Did not notice whether it were on or not, 24 & 48 hours earlier; how about 24 hours later? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, UT Mon Apr 3 at 0210 check, still NO signal from KVOH. Not scheduled to resume until UT Fri at 0000. Looks like SCG really need a new transmitter. But they hardly have a monopoly on God`s alleged Word, nor even the ``Voice of Hope`` slogan. However the Listen Live link on website plays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. RF 34, April 3 at 1533 UT, one TV DX signal decodes briefly as 33-1, KMSS-HD. That`s the 1 megawatt Fox station in Shreveport LA, correlating nicely with APRS map showing a large tropo blob between here and there. Rabbitears.info shows it has an X direxional pattern, the NW leg good for us, and not too far off the fixed beam of my antenna aimed SSE at OKC. City/city distance 574 km = 357 mi. Also, BAD signals on the STB from these RF channels: 31, 28, 26, 22, 21, 14, 12, 11, 8. Not enough DX to disrupt any of my semilocals, but marginal 16 is also Bad (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, April 1 at 0630, JBA signal presumed R. Vanuatu reactivated, not noted a few minutes earlier when VON was on 7255-. Tony Rogers, UK, BDXC, also reported: ``After a few days off air, Radio Vanuatu noted back on 5040 kHz as heard at 1000 UTC, 1 April, on the Te Kauwhata KiwiSDR in New Zealand. I had noticed a carrier yesterday on 5040 kHz on this KiwiSDR around 1845 UTC but no audio. Looks like the transmitter has now been fixed. 73’s Tony`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, April 3 at 0602, no signal from RV on 7260, 7890 or 11835. But at 0608 a JBA carrier on 5040 - I bet that`s it, as later confirmed by Ron Howard: ``5040, Radio Vanuatu, 0659-0750 UT, April 3. "BBC World Service" promo, available on 104 FM Port Vila (my audio attached); 0701-0713, news in Bislama (several items about the number of households in Vanuatu without clean water and food, a month after the recent natural disasters [news story - http://bit.ly/3U72sVZ ], etc.); island pop songs; 0730+, generic PSA about cyclones; somewhat readable.

Almost seemed like beat from second carrier, or this one unstable. With Cuba gone, not even excited, that leaves remote possibility of harmonic 3 x 1680, 4 x 1260, 5 x 1008, 6 x 840, 7 x 720, 8 x 630, or 9 x 560! even domestic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 648 kHz, April 4 at 0656, two JBA carriers beating; I never? hear any TAs or TPs here, and the three least unlikely propagationally, 10 kW from Spain and NSW, 25? or 4 kW from R. Caroline on ex-BBC frequency, all seem improbable; nothing in NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7319.9 approx., April 1 at 0624, JBA carrier, perhaps R. Vostochnaya Zvezda, SW USA pirate, which was supposedly going to use 7320, ex-7325 USB & FM, ex-4015 USB. EiBi shows nothing on 7320 anywhen; HFCC and Aoki, only Shiokaze at 1700.
