** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat Apr 17 at 1437 tune-in via CX8BIT remote, LRA36 is on with music at S5-S6; weaker S3-S4 into Campo, Brasil, but better S/N so stay on it there: here`s one station not carrying Prince Philip`s funeral! 1440 OM ID as ``Nacional Antártida Argentina, en todo el país, la radio pública`` and music; 1451 same ID by YL; 1457 RNASG/LRA36 ID and talk, still past 1510; long chronology of scientific, literary events from at least 1945y onwards, a `this-day-in-history` feature? Little if anything to do with Antda. Why don`t they tell us about their scientific research, if any? Finally ID with e-mail, URL, FB contact info; and frequencies 15476, FM 96.7 at Esperanza Base. 1517 music; 1520 ID, music; 1523.5 another LRA36 ID, music past 1530. 1532 contact info again. 1534 a song. 1537.5 ID and talk, ID for 15476. 1538 re-start as if signing on in Spanish, German, English ---. Antártida song until 1542. 1550 different song, 1554.5 radio pública ID, etc., etc., more songs past 1612. 1630 contact info. 1633 about 1982 Malvinas war anniversary. Were Antarctic bases somehow involved? S Sandwiches were conquered and then lost. It lasted 10 weeks from 2 April, so we have 8 more weeks of commemoration? Lots more objective history here, including which side other countries supported: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War By 1640 it`s S1-S3 into Brasília #1 SDR, but quite readable, more Malvinas recollexions. 1708 still going later than usual, contact info and 1711 closing with Antda song, ID to 1713 when it ``signs-on`` yet again in Spanish, German, English; and fourth language, maybe Russian but most of the bit is pronouncing the names in Spanish anyway. 1716 Antda song *again*, welcoming us to another Wednesday program in the 2021 series, and *again* going over the Malvinas war and its aftermath. Still2 going past 1745. BTW, I did not get it checked on Wed Apr 14 morning when LRA36 was probably on, but no other reports of it then (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.97-RCUSB, April 21 at 1430, LRA36 confirmed on this Wednesday in quick check via Brasil SDR with good signal, but I don`t have time to keep listening. Likely to repeat on Saturday. I should apply for a new eQSL as have been going out for previous emissions, e.g. to Manuel Méndez: ``In the email they added the names of the LRA 36 team for the 2021 year: "BUENOS DIAS NOS COMPLACE SU ESCUCHA SALUDOS EQUIPO DE ESTA DOTACION: OPERACION TECNICA: SARGENTO ALEJANDRO CAMINO LOCUTORA: TENIENTE PRIMERO ESTEFANIA PEREZ LOCUTOR: CAPITAN MAXIMILIANO LUNA DIRECTOR DE LA RADIO: TENIENTE CORONEL DARIO LUCERO ESTAMOS AL AIRE LOS MISMOS DIA Y HORARIO DEL AÑO PSADO DESDE YA MUCHAS GRACIAS."

Not in the order tuned. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, April 16 at 0108, RHC Spanish is sup-torted, while 11760 is merely under-modulated; 11670 is off; but 13740 is VG and the OSOB. Something`s always wrong at RHC. At least, neither 11850 nor 13740 is in English tonight like before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 9475-9505, April 16 at 0113, jamming against 9490 is splattering plus/minus 15 kHz; but on 9490 itself, R. República via RMI via FRANCE is overcoming it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, April 16 at 0250, RHC English is JBM here, much louder on 6000, with COVID-19 advisory. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100, April 16 at 0612, RHC English is S9 but JBM here, while 6060 is S9+20/30 with good modulation for a change; and 5040, 6000, and even 6165 are OFF. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13839 S2-S3, 13769 S3; source 13700-AM S9/+10; 13630, 13560 losing out to local Part 15 pulsing, April 16 at 1420, FMish spurblobs of music with F# tones at ~70 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, April 16 at 1855, no signal from RHC, but *1856 open carrier cut on with hum, S9+5; 1901 English overmodulated with hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 15140 supposed to be on continuously since 1100 per EiBi, with Kriyol at 1830. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100, April 17 at 0556, this RHC is S9+20 of dead air in English except for some squeal. 6165 is also S9/+20 but modulating somewhat underly. 6060 is S9+30 without humbuzz. 6000 equal. 5040 off. By 0622, only 6100 squeal and 6165 remain. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13630, April 17 at 1420, weak spurblob out of 13700-AM RHC which is only S8-S9. Cannot be sure of a match around 13770, and the Part 15 pulsers on 13560 are unimpeded. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13838, 13769; 13636, 13562, 13490, all very approx. centers of spurblobs mostly with F# tone, out of RHC 13700-AM, April 18 at 1408, ranging from 64 to 72 kHz intervals; but also not fitting the sequence circa 13668, 13596, roughly halfway between the others. Another check at 1438: 13556, 13628, 13772, 13844 vs WWCR = 72 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, April 19 at 0521, RHC English resuming the humbuzz which on 49m infests this frequency only, but not always. Ho hum, something`s always wrong at RHC but this time I don`t bother to compare to the rest (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13767 & 13633 approx., Apr 19 at 1356, weak spurblobs out of 13700-AM RHC but no program audio, just some F# tone; second-orders 2 x 67 kHz intervals are barely detectable circa 13567, 13833. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, April 19 at 2201, S9-S7 of dead air from RHC; 15370 achieves S9/+20 of a discurso naming names, presumably good Commies, applause after each. 11950 is also dead air at 2211, S7/9+10. 11760 also with discurso, only S5-S8 with hum. 11850 missing so I hear something else: see GERMANY [non]. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, April 20 at 0141, RHC Spanish with humbuzz like heard after 0500 on 6060; same transmitter likely. Wolfgang Bueschel describes it April 20: ``6060even RHC Bauta in English \\ 6100 kHz. TERRIBLE BUZZ tone signal, like a garden fence seen, either sideband symmetrical 13 x 120 Hertz distance apart tone strings.

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 1040, April 21 at 0613, Cuban-style discussion mentioning Guantánamo, with WHO nulled, so assumed is the only CM on 1040: CMCL, 10 kW, Radio Mayabeque, Güines, Mayabeque. Mayabeque is a rather obscure province just east and south of Habana between it and Matanzas [killings]; in fact it did not exist until 2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayabeque_Province but that does not explain, why? Güines is just east of the major SW site Quivicán; and Bejucal is north of there on the Habana province boundary (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 9880, April 19 at 2218, S6-S9 with flutter in stilted Spanish? No, scheduled as Esperanto from CRI to S America via Kashgar, land of ChiCom imperialist persecution and genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 15300, April 16 at 1855, Horn-of-Africa music at S0-S3, so figured it would be something other than RFI in French as listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY [non]. 11850, April 19 at 2211, checking for RHC but it`s absent, instead the Deutsche Welle IS! How forlorn, brothers seeking brethren past 2224 with no response, let alone schwisters. VP signal S3-S0 with flutter, but unmistakable. 11850 happens to be a DW frequency for three daily broadcasts in Hausa, one ending at 1900, the next not until 0630. One thing for sure, if it`s DW, it can`t be transmitted from Germany`s last major SW site, Nauen; these are scheduled via ISSoudun where maybe they forgot to turn it off 3+ hours ago? Or QRX for latest flap about Euro football? Or maybe a very late silly ball game after midnight, which seems to be the main purpose of one of two languages remaining from DW on KW; the other? Amharic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUATEMALA. 4055, still off, but received this update that they are working on repairing the transmitter: ``Transmisor de Radio Verdad, Apr 20 at 4:41 AM, Informamos a los oyentes de Radio Verdad que casi todo este día lunes trabajamos tratando de reparar el transmisor de Radio Verdad.

Dr. Édgar Amílcar Madrid, Director y Gerente General, Estación Educativa Evangélica, Radio Verdad`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [and non]. 7290, Monday April 19 at 1758, I`m checking IRRS via UTwente SDR to see how it`s doing in the timeslot from which WOR was bumped to Saturday. Weak carrier seems to be on, but CNR is still audible past 1802, when I conclude IRRS is not on at all. It does cut on at *1807:26, before which the new program must have long begun. No modulation audible until weakly at 1811:06, undermodulated talk. So the startup situation at this secret site is worse than ever. IRRS sked now shows for Monday 2000-2100 CET: ``EGR - Gospel4Grampian Radio``, per its own website, outgrowth of a mere podcast. Grampian is a region in NE Scotland around Aberdeen. Occupies the whole hour, so Shortwave Report is also replaced. By 1833 recheck, modulation has improved to readable, if one cared to. Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS assures me that the schedule has been fixed so WOR will appear: Fri 2030 UT on 594+webcast; Sat 1801 on 7290, 594 and webcast; Sat 2334 on webcast only; and presumably still Sunday 2000 on 594+webcast as I confirmed April 18 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, April 15 at 0600 UT, JBA carrier again tonight, presumed R. Kiribati, Xmas Island; no TA carriers, but another on 1098, likely another TP, Marshall Islands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 720, April 21 at 0602, Cuban-style music with WGN nulled, but then Meximusic and full legal ID for XEDE, or rather XHDE 105.7 y 720, Kaliente, KFM, 25 kW en Saltillo, Coahuila; makes 5.6 Hz SAH with WGN except when they be exactly mutually nulled. XE NA would have erupted an hour earlier in the CDT zone, UT -5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.936, April 16 at 0606, VON in Hausa, S8/S9+10. Surprise, back here after long absence, always off-frequency-minus, after presumably having stayed on 11769.92, where especially at this hour we are lucky even to hear a JBA carrier. On Feb 4 at 0703 I first reported 11770- instead of 7255-, and no logs of the latter, since. But at 1858 April 16 I have presumed VON circa 11769.9, S3-S6, undermodulated? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, April 17 at 0603, VON on here for second day, S9+20. I was not noticing it just before 0600 when concentrating on adjacent 7260 for Vanuatu, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.9, April 18 at 0601, no signal from VON, so the two-night run is over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-AM, April 16 at 0120, emphatic talk at S6-S7, probably the pirate relay of Fox News Channel, but not synchronized and can`t stand to watch Cable 48 more than a few seconds at a time, during Hannity. By 0128 is too weak anyway but still on past 0203. Strangely, no reports of this at HFU, like the last time I heard it after 0600. There is a report of it at FRN: http://www.frn.net/vines/read.php?5,8924,8924#msg-8924 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, April 16 at 0121, hard talk/rock, maybe in a loop, deliberately distorted with hard background noise. Then slightly more intelligible dialog, 0127 song. Off at 0203 recheck. Other reports of this mashup: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,80341.0.html Maybe Big Badfish Al in Central Pennsylvania explain it?: ``Captain Black Baerd {syc} Radio/Sycko R. 5130 USB was 6935 USB 0115 UTC 16 April 2021, SIO: 444 in CT. 0125 - A mixture of radio stations overdub and some electric.

Someone might now want to add that she has been immortalised as a Wolverine Radio SSTV QSL. Sure hope she`s P.D. by now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, April 18 at 0243 UT, still a pirate here, sounds as strong as Wolverine, S9+20, same transmitter? These say Drunken DJ Radio took over at 0115 and posting requests here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,80432.15.html 0259 ID as Drunken DJ Radio, asking for requests, and refers to earlier Wolverine broadcast. Then ``8 Miles Hi`` by The Birds. BTW, this has a much better signal than Area 51 on WBCQ, q.v. at USA, and no RHC QRM! At 0307 I notice that switching to 6950-LSB, instead of zero, I get residual audio, only the bass-line of the music, rather than full fidelity on USB! Not sure if this be transmitter anomaly or receiver, but with straight-up passband equally between LSB and USB, and not noticed such on other SSB signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, April 19 at 0055, weak S3-S4 pirate with hard rock, some ACI from the 2-way on 6935-LSB, see UNID. 0101 DJ with reverb, after Wolfman Jack? Makes him hard to understand, but gives an ID and email. Again at 0106; 0113 ``mad man at the microphone``. Still at 0144; off by 0153 recheck.

Strangely, no logs now or recently of this in HFU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.9-AM, April 20 at 2217, JBA carrier, smax of a pirate.

R. Tumbril: see U S A. WRMI, 5850 ** SPAIN. 17855, April 15 at 1805 & 1825, no signal from REE N American overfrequency, not propagating? No, I think it`s OFF, since neighboring FRANCE manages a JBA carrier on neighboring 17850. But Spain`s 15520 & 11920 are only JBA carriers. Richard Langley, NB, also thinx 17855 was off today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, April 16 at 1851, REE is S6-S8 about a Bach partita; this early, better than 15520 and 11940, both S3-S7. 17855 is the OSOB except for JBA carrier on 17530 which would be VOA Ascension. But Grimesland or other sites at other times. At 2132, 17855 even better, S8/S9+10 // 11940 S7-S9, but not // 15520 S7-S9 which has split off into Arabic. This sked shows no such Arabic: https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2021/04/radio-exterior-de-espana_12.html But WRTH 2021 had B-20 Arabic at 2230 M-F on E-Hemisphere frequencies, which would now have shifted to 2130. Despite K index of 5 amid G1 storm per WWV as of 2100! At 2200 I`m on computer so bring up the NA5B KiwiSDR in Washington DC area, revealed on its map as axually in Maryland between Gaithersburg and Leesburg VA. Flags above the waterfall denote four Radio Australia frequencies on 16m! Slightly outdated, including good ol` 17795, sigh. Anyhow this is still getting 17855 VG at S9+25! Two REE features in English: first, for April 16, World Voice Day, with Justin Coe; see http://world-voice-day.org and from 2211, European Space Agency agenda 2025, with Alison Hughes. A quick check of my own rx at 2225 finds 17855 faded down to JBA in the noise; back to NA5B for concluding song, ``Voice`` by Moody Blues (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, April 17 at 1424, REE early start on Sat, but N American frequency is only JBA over total-day path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Sat Apr 17 at 2023, REE is a JBA carrier to North America amid G1 storming and K-index of 3. 15520 backwards manages only S3-S5 at 2027, but somewhat readable, a lot better in comparison. At this hour, REE would have a much better chance of reaching us on 13 or 11 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, April 19 circa 2125 via NA5B KiwiSDR in Maryland, REE audible but less than S9, while 15520 & 11940 tho not for us, are much better S9.

By token English, Monday at 2200, a general news review in some detail, direct to here, 17855 & 15520 are totally inaudible; 11940 fair S8-S3 with splash from 11930 OCB, and 11685 also audible vs RTTY from 11687.5 NAU Puerto Rico (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, April 20 at 2215, JBA carrier from REE failing to reach deep N America when it would have been in English if this were not a day starting with T or S; 15520 slightly better, BA carrier; 11940 S9-S6 would have to serve offside from S America beam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855 & 15520, April 21 at 2224, zero signals from REE token English on Wednesday; algo JBA on 11940, JBA carrier on 11685, no RTTY.

A special booking no one asked me to publicize but did so anyway on WOR 2082 which happened to be airing at the same time on WRMI 7780. Mostly music, few announcements, one at 2318, another at 2334 asking for reports to be eQSLed, but gave email only once and could not copy it accurately. Again at 2351 but uncopied. Publicity described music genre as ``Ethereal``, sort of like MFTHOS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.95 &/or 6159.925 approx., UT Sat April 17 at 0003, the WBCQs with `AAAWWW` underway, Allan saying that 6160 is not on air with show tonight. Yes, it is, as I check it immediately, running a few seconds behind 7. Larry Will soon calls to say he just fixed it and now has remote control of the 6160 transmitter. 0009 lw mentions possible QRM from Iran on 6160 with special Ramadan broadcast [none audible here tonight, sked 2253-2420 southward in Arabic] and also Cuba irregularly [splash from 6165 Cuba grows worse during hour and still there with LSB tuning, so prefer 7490-. I had pointed out to lw about Iran and that WBCQ should shift to 6155, midway between the RHC alternatives.] They say that this summer AW and Tim are going to get 3265 back on air, changing transmitters around. 0012 Larry off and annoying Freddie caller immediately replaces him. [I`ve also just heard directly from Larry: ``Allan and Timtron are going to be doing some work this summer to bring back 3265 KHz on one of the big classic WBCQ transmitters, so we may be splitting the Area 51 blocks between 6160 and 3265 with the latter frequency being used later in the evening. That will give us some more flexibility for programs such as WOR. I'll be working with them to determine the optimal frequency/times for our services. Regards, Lw``] Next topix: billions of robocalls to avoid, and internet scams. Jibe at Pres. Biden as if he were dumb enough to fall for them. A couple times including 0019 there is background noise QRMing Allan he does not seem to be aware of; from phone line? 0022, finally datestamped as 16th of April, YOOL 2021. Refers to something accusing CNN of being anti-Trump, pro-Biden. Next topic, reminiscing about the vinyl record era and then reel-to-reel tapes, how they are both making a comeback for audiophiles. He was about to read a Radio World article about that, but never got to it. Angela has hardly a chance to say anything tonight, but plugs a far-right extremist website. On March 13 a Maine documentary crew, FSK? Produxions, was at the SuperStation, and now a 31-minute video about how it came to be is on youtube if you search on WBCQ 9330. It`s somewhat technical. ``Still has a few bugs.`` 0048, starts to read some Free Radio Weekly items, but interrupted by a call from someone allegedly in Paris about how locked-down they are in France. 0052 back to FRW, reads a few pirate names and frequencies, no further details, so he can plug for them to buy time on WBCQ instead and avoid illegality. 0056, third call by Freddie interrupting. 0058, Allan calls `BCQ ``Big Balls Broadcasting``, and right into closing prayer, thanking a god for electrons. 0100 into music repeating, theme of Hal Turner? and he starts by 0101 mentioning KYAH in Utah [a station which would like to air WOR; but night power is 13 watts]. John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started on time on 7490 and several minutes later on 6160. Allan and Angela in the studio. Allan starts off reading an article but phone call at 0005 from Larry Will stating that he was able to get the 6160 transmitter started remotely. While talking to Larry, Allan stated that this summer they would be broadcasting late night on 3265. Phone call at 0012 from Freddie. Talk is about robo calls, then into talk about scammers. Allan states that Angela is half naked in the studio. Finally back to the article he had started earlier concerning the admission that CNN had used propaganda and propaganda methods to help get rid of Trump. Then into the merits of vinyl as opposed to tape. Allan mentions that a documentary about the superstation has been posted on YouTube. Mainly concerned with the building of the station. Allan says to search for WBCQ 9330. Freddie back on the phone at 0046 asking for a link to the video. Phone call at 0048 from a gentleman in France bemoaning that they still have a curfew at night because of Covid. Reading of emails at 0052 which begins with a scan of the newest Free Radio Weekly. Freddie back on the phone at 0056 to explain a picture that he had just emailed them. Closing prayer at 0059. Then closing comments cut off mid sentence at 0100 and then back to the last sentence of the closing talk which was repeated, into music and then into Hal Turner. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6159.93, UT Sun April 18, Area 51 via WBCQ is only S7, even tuned to LSB where the splash from 6165 RHC hits S9. Program just ending is `Great Lakes Radio Conspiracy`. Checking this after pirate on 6950-USB/LSB which has a *much* better signal, and NO QRM. At this hour, there is NOTHING on 6155, 6150, 6145, or 6140. But since RHC could jump to 6145 at will, the safest place for WBCQ would be 6155. Unfortunately, US SW stations are not accustomed to addressing QRM problems so rapidly, if ever (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15825, Apr 17 at 1925, WWCR-1 is S9+ tnx to sporadic E, reinforcing its squeal. Similar megameter-away 15610, WEWN is also S9, both much better than normal. 13845 WWCR-3 is also boosted to S9+25, the SSOB. Nothing much on 17 MHz except 17530 VOA, but I had just heard hams in FL and VA JBA on 18140-USB. Can hardly wait for Es MUF to surpass 88 MHz this spring/summer.

A great chance to DX the frequency, especially for people like me who are only 80 miles from their transmitter.`` An amplified compendium of my replies: At 0301, WHAS still on with ABC news, 0302-0304+ own news; heavy 5 Hz SAH from KVJY, normally audible with WHAS nulled.

At 0400, KVJY, Pharr, Texas, brief legal ID in English. Pharr is far from Houston, but apparently programmed from HQ. Webpage has listen linx to it and 3 other sibling stations, so not simulcasting? And WHAS, 5 Hz SAH cut back on by *0416. Off again by 0422*. WHAS on again for a few seconds at *0424 - etc., etc.?

KVEL is in Vernal, NE UT, U2 5/1 kW, but night pattern is to the NE, ~nil thisaway*. It`s as strong as dominator KYFR Shenandoah in SW IA, mutually nullable, NW vs NE. KYFR does have a tight nightlobe aimed thisaway*. Therefore suspect KVEL be on ND day pattern if not also day power. I`ve heard it before with same suspicions, but not lately. 104.5 is, you guessed it? A mere translator, K283BN. Note to E2L editors: ``thisaway`` is slang, not separable into this and away.
