Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, May 2 via WOR iog) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat May 1 at 1438, LRA36 is on and into Brasil SDRs, one of them slightly noisier than another. First talking about current events such as the Iran Nuclear Deal [should that be capitalised?]. I`m busy with breakfast, etc., so not listening continuously, but 1530 still there, S5 in Antártida song; 1538 IDs in 4 languages mentioning Base Esperanza. 1552 typical canned ID, ``Nacional Antártida Argentina, La Radio Pública``. 1555.5 another ID and at 1600. 1623 still on at S1-S3; 1650 comes in stronger, music; 1658 eQSL info; sign-off Saturday broadcast, so this part is not a Wednesday playback. Mentions being part of the Ministry of Defense, i.e. military, not civilian as Wikipedia claims. 1700 Antártida song, now S5 and does not really close down yet. 1704 & 1708 other music 1732 ``sign-on`` again with Spanish, German, English, Russian?/Korean? announcement. 1737 Antda. song again, email and FB, frequencies 15476 and FM 96.7 at the base, max temp today 2C, couldn`t catch the min. Off abruptly at 1740* and still off by 1744 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed May 5 at 1513, LRA36 is only S2-S3 into Brasília #2 KiwiSDR, signature ``Antártida`` song at tune-in, LRA36 ID, then mostly music past 1527; still on at 1555 but off before 1700 when I check again after Eritrea [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BOTSWANA. 17530, May 5 at 1533, pop song in English, S9+10/20 into UTwente. It`s VOA relay this hour only; 1535 DJ urges COVID measures such as masking, back to more song, Bieber, on `Border Crossings`, which hardly presents anything exotic as the name might imply. Aoki shows this transmission is *jammed lest any oppressed ESL Chinese pick it up, but no jamming audible now. So strong I think I was hearing trace of its music bleeding/crossmodding onto 17545, see ERITREA [non](Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 244-MCW kHz, May 2 at 0552 UT, dash and TH, 1000-watt ND beacon at Thompson MB. Logged before but not often, last Dec & Jan but not since; time is running out per dxinfocentre.com: ``244 TH CAN MB THOMPSON 1000 55 47 40 -97 51 15 TO BE DECOMMISSIONED 2021-08-12`` Thompson is at/near the end of the road in north central MB, beyond The Pas and Flin Flon, 2152 km = 1337 statute miles, almost due north from Enid. Also two other Canadians, only Manitobans tonight; if any Canadian, can make it best vs storm noise levels, it`s WG: 248-MCW kHz, May 2 at 0551, dash and WG, 1000-watt NDB at Winnipeg. 284-MCW kHz, May 2 at 0549, dash and QD, 500-watt NDB at The Pas, Manitoba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHAD [non]. 12050, April 30 at 2002, R. Ndarason International in presumed Kanuri is almost as strong as RCM, WEWN in Spanish. Quite a collision here making SAH of 1 Hz, but who cares? RNI is 152 degrees from Woofferton while WEWN is 155 from Vandiver. IIRC, RNI used to be via Ascension which may have been more of a problem in WEWN LAm target (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non?]. 9360, May 2 at 1711, S2-S5 in Chinese; probably CNR1 jammer; or RFA Chinese via Kuwait at 17-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. 13645, May 2 at 1707, hilife music, S8 fading to S5. It`s the Swahili hour of CRI via Bamako II, MALI; followed by another hour in Hausa. Wonder if Swahili service be another one filled by nothing but African music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 15775, May 5 at 0138, not much happening on 19m now but a JBA carrier here. Aoki shows nothing but Sound of Hope at 2130-1600, so it`s likely CNR1 *jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also EAST TURKISTAN ** CHINA [non]. 15700, May 5 at 1502 & 1543 chex, CRI Plus English relay via CUBA is AWOL for at least second day: canceled, or another outage? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 4940, May 3 at 0603, song at S9, stronger than usual direct, often JBA, the still fuzzy outlet which runs all night and presumably all day with good signals into Bonaire remote, from Maicao for Venezuela, known as La Montaña, or Montana, or Fuerza de Paz as the ministry website programming source succeeding the 5910 & 6010 stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, 6100, 6060, 6000, 5040, April 29 at 0614 check, The Cuban Five are all off already, in English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13700, April 29 at 1443, RHC is only S4-S5, which may be why there are no spurs audible, if any too weak by comparison. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9710, April 29 at 1451, RHC is still here, to stay? S9 but undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, May 3 at 0559, RHC English is off; 6060 and 6000 and 5040 are also off now, so the final English hour or fraxion gets only one frequency and a bad one: 6100 is S9+30 with humbuzz like used to be on 6060, likely same transmitter moved. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Note: Richard Langley heard RHC say on UT May 2 that their English broadcasts are now two hours long instead of just one repeating over and over in our evenings, perhaps due to their 60th anniversary, but a permanent change? Years ago they were more than one hour long. But what about the single-hour blox at 1900 & 2300? Expanded plus or minus? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15370, May 3 at 1948, RHC 1900 English is here, S9+10/20 but undermodulated, while scheduled 15140 is absent. Maybe make-do while the other transmitter be down? You never know what RHC will do next. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15700, May 4 at 1504, CRI English relay is absent, nor on ex-11880 either; propagation OK with RHC on 15140. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, May 4 at 19-20, missed checking whether RHC English were back here from 15370 yesterday, and whether still only one hour in the afternoon; did anybody notice? I did check May 4 at 2315 and until 2357.8* with that English hour on 11880, while after 2200 was still in French (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA? 5085, May 5 at 0018, Cuban-style weak pulse jamming centred here before WTWW is on, now via Bonaire SDR, as heard before here when WTWW was on. Possibly some kind of ute instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 4747 & 4783 approx., May 5 at 0035, scratchy spurblobs obviously out of R. Progreso which has just come on 4765, into Bonaire SDR just like I hear them direct, plus/minus 17-18 kHz. I can`t think of anyone else who has ever reported these. No one else cares about documenting all the crap Cuba defecates onto our SW bands? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, May 5 at 0135, RHC is S9+10/20 but suptorted, flanked by the JBA carrier spurs on 11840 & 11860. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also EAST TURKISTAN [and non] ** CUBA. 6060, May 5 at 0629, RHC English has the humbuzz on here again ex-6100, which is off along with 6000; while 6165 remains on in the clear. You never know what combo of 5 possible channels will be running after 0600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9710, RHCuba has stuck to this new frequency, which when it first appeared April 27, I pointed out immediately would conflict with CRI to Latin America at 00-03 UT. Now at 0034 May 5, into Bonaire SDR, continuous Chinese music is atop RHC in Spanish, during their Portuguese hour which for years now has been filled with music only on all its transmissions including 00-01. Meanwhile RHC`s exes, 9650 and 9640 are both empty! Way to go, frequency manager Arnie! At 0054 CRI does announce the Portuguese schedule in Brazuguese accent, including this hour, also on 6100. For 2300 I didn`t hear him mention 13650 which is the Cuban relay. After that, dead air or off until 0100 CRI IS, theme, Chinese and Spanish IDs. From the land of ChiCom imperialist genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems, Kashgar site is 500 kW at 269 degrees for Portuguese, shifting to 294 for Spanish, i.e. centrally aimed first at Rio de Janeiro, then from Belém across mid-Brasil where the first SS country hit directly is Bolivia, but should be good for neighbors Perú, Paraguay, northern Argentina as well; CubaRM permitting, Commies vs Commies! BTW, I would seldom quote National Review, but David Cole sends this disturbing report from the May 17 [sic] issue which I have retitled: Uyghur families pay a ChiCom imperialist price for RFA journalism https://www.nationalreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/xml_20210517_Nordlinger.html WRTH 2021 page 504 shows RFA has only two Uyghur hours per day, 01-02 & 16-17 UT, mostly via Kuwait on a different frequency each day of week, also some via Saipan, Tinian, Dushanbe. But for A-21 Bulgarian DX Blog shows: 0100-0200 on 9780 KWT 250 kW / 046 deg to CeAs Uyghur 0100-0200 on 9800 BIB 100 kW / 063 deg to CeAs Uyghur 0100-0200 on 11640 KWT 250 kW / 054 deg to CeAs Uyghur 0100-0200 on 11790 KWT 250 kW / 046 deg to CeAs Uyghur 1600-1700 on 9355 DB 200 kW / 060 deg to CeAs Uyghur 1600-1700 on 9480 KWT 250 kW / 046 deg to CeAs Uyghur 1600-1700 on 11675 TIN 250 kW / 305 deg to CeAs Uyghur 1600-1700 on 15700 BIB 100 kW / 075 deg to CeAs Uyghur (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ERITREA [non]. 17544.90910v, another Wednesday, May 5 at 1527 so I`m listening for Bayto Yaikl, the Wed & Sat only clandestine brokered by RMI via Issoudun, FRANCE. Once again there is a JBA signal via UTwente, S6 = noise level on adjacent channel, but enough for its Synch to look onto it precisely as above. No audio from it, but traces of music from somewhere which at 1533 I decide is bleed/crossmod from the VOA bigsig on 17530, with Border Crossings via BOTSWANA, q.v. 17545v itself is far too weak to identify directly, but was the always off-frequency B.Y. in the B-season. WRMI skedgrid at the very bottom still shows 17545, not updated for A-season. I`m alert for when it go off, which happens at 1558:49* including any internet delay; can ISS still be running that transmission with nothing in it?? Latest HFCC of May 4 still shows: 17545 1530 1600 48 ISS 250 120 0 227 1234567 280321 301021 D 17400 Mul F RMI TDF 13156 BYUSA But also: 11760 1630 1700 48 ISS 250 125 0 216 36 280321 301021 D 8500 Mul F RMI TDF 14044 NEW Ivo Ivanov has been reporting that 11760 an hour later on Wed & Sat is replacement for 17545, even tho 11760 entry does not include ``BYUSA`` and the 17545 was never 7 days a week. 11760.000 or 11759.999, says UTwente Synch: Rather than LRA36, after 1630 May 5 I keep listening to 11760, S5-S7 into UTwente, which certainly seems like Bayto Yaikl, but I *never* can hear those words mentioned. Opening has horrible self-imposed echo but only briefly. Presumably in Tigrinya, but occasional English terms I can copy: kHz, Amerika, World Press Freedom Day, Amnesty International, PBS Frontline, investigative reporting. Continues all-talk with Frontline etc. mentioned again at 1646. 1647 finally a bit of Horn-of-Africa music; 1655 mentions Hitler, Hirohito; 1656 HOA music; 1656.5 closing announcement in *Arabic* including meter-band, kHz, and off at 1659* At PBS website I cannot find a Frontline episode about Eritrea (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY [and non]. I did manage to hear all the UBMP episode of throat-singing, tnx to the unpublicized semi-repeat Mon May 3 at 2300-2330 on WBCQ 7490v webcast; and Tuesday May 4 at 2000-2100 on Channel 292, 6070 with a VG signal into UTwente; which followed his other show, FTIOM until 2000 and off the air at 2100*. BTW, UB says next week`s FTIOM will be all-music, no interviews; on WBCQ UT Tue May 11 at 0000-0100 on WBCQ 7490v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, May 1 at 0642, JBA carrier; not in a full 9 kHz bandscan which would now be too late for Eurafrica, and too early for DU/FE, but just right for R. Kiribati some two hours after its sunset. Distancefromto.net cannot handle computations from London, Kiritimati, or Christmas Island, or Kiribati, instead leading to the far western isles of Kiribati, to the UK or even Australia! My NGS Globe when it was part of the Line Islands shows Xmas about 4500 statute miles from Enid or 3900 nautical miles, or 7250 km. I can`t imagine this JBA carrier being anything else, save for some deliberate spoiler on the same frequency closer such as Tucson in the same direxion, which is 250 degrees, as I once confirmed but not lately. If propagable, a spoiler from the exact opposite direxion would have to be from Philadelphia to Western Sahara into central Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 11710, May 3 after 0600, stilted French from VOK now propagating fairly; one wonders if their announcers had book-larnin` only. Aoki/NDXC does not show this broadcast, but WRTH B-20 sked showed French at 06-07 on 11735, 13760 and 15180 for Latin America, even tho it`s the middle of the night in Guiana French and the Windward & Leeward Islands! BTW, Martinique is Windward, Guadeloupe is Leeward. EiBi shows instead CRI in Mandarin to SE Asia this hour on 11710, but no sign of that here. The Bulgarian DX Blog sked for A-21 also shows those three for VOK and not 11710. Same for Arnulf Piontek, Berlin, who seems to have inside sources at VOK. So we have NEWS about a rare change for VOK! Also a weak signal on 11680, which would be domestic program (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9475, April 29 at 1449, mixture of Chinese and Korean talk and a song, only S3-S5. Scheduled is National Unity Radio from Taiwan site at 1200-1458 per Aoki. Ron Howard reported the same kind of thing 2 + 24 hours earlier: ``National Unity Radio, 9475, from 1249 to 1250 UT, on April 28. Brief Chinese language lesson; started and ended with Joyce Chu singing "Hao xiang ni - I Miss You“; mostly in Korean; a few words in Chinese and a sentence using the words; "Wǒmen Tándélái" (we share the same view or we understand each other); N. Korea no longer jamming this frequency, so nice reception. My audio at http://bit.ly/3xvEgRv .`` Tnx to WTWW hardly ever on 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 15125, May 3 at 1705, CRI scheduled in Swahili via Bamako, but doesn`t sound much like Swahili, maybe corrupted by Chinese accent. // 13645 listed is OFF. And so is 15125 at 1712*-*1722; all talk instead of music I was seeking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 7168-LSB, May 3 at 0627, ZL4RMF, Dunedin, audible but weaker than contact KN6GPR who says he visited Dunedin last year but can`t remember how to pronounce it. Hint: it does not refer to noisy sand. ZL4RMF: Ron Falconer. See his antennas on a hilltop: https://www.qrz.com/lookup/zl4rmf KN6GPR: Lynden L Williams, Tehachapi, CA 93561-5431 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 7162-LSB, May 4 at 0605, new frequency for ZL4RMF, ex-7168 last night, Dunedin, in contact with OA4DPQ, unheard here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, May 3 at 0558, VON IS at S9+10/20, sporadically active here again when it blasts into N America, presumably about to start Hausa hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, May 5 at 0622, VON with big OC, then JBM chant and drumusic. Tuned by at 0619, it was NOT on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, April 30 at 2245, somepirate is already on tho Mystery Pirate Radio has publicized another set of Voice of Pancho Villa shows to start at 2300. This one is S3-S5 talking about standing wave ratio, music. 2256 DJ likes Patsy Cline and plays her greatest hit; 2259 ``Big John``, 2303 pause, off? No, back with ``Hello, Emmy Lou``. 2305 ``You are listening to ---`` but I can`t copy the name. At 2314 I switch from own R75 to NA5B remote in MD, where this is S8-S9 with songs; 2317 ``Wheels``, Zeke ID. Says he and wife have both been shot and won`t wear masks going out to eat. Nothing digital ready to play? 2318 Zekey`s Attic [Zichi?] is ``relinquishing frequency`` to another pirate, steady noise but not SSTV, and off*. More: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,80986.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, April 30 at *2320, Mystery Pirate Radio comes on late after Zekey finished. E mail address. Voice of Pancho Villa theme, S6-S7, signature wild laughter and exaggerated Mexi-accent (I hope the XEs are not offended?) Immediately starts invoking a ``Glenn Hauser`` character, 1-900-PAYGLENN. Audio is rather distorted. Glenn is a girl? 2327 1-800-PAYGLENN [Note: PHONY]. IDs in real Spanish between segments; at 2342 says 1998 follows, skit about Clinton and Lewinsky. 2349, year 2000: Tom Kneitel can`t be here, because ---. 2354, year 2001(?), this segment with QRM, co-channel talk about something else: another pirate or produxion mixture? UT May 1, continuing, 0000 the VPV from 2002y, CCI gone. Stuff I have heard before and reported anyway in too much detail. Now I am distracted by AAAWWW panned to one ear and MPR/VPV to the other. See USA: WBCQ. 0016 MPR address; 0019 it`s off after just about one hour from late start. Many more reports here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,80991.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925V-AM, May 1 at *0035 another pirate carrier comes on same frequency still tuned via NA5B remote for Mystery until 0019*. 0037 starts rock music, but distorted; carrier is wobbling severely, unlistenable in SSB mode. SAM carrier offset jumps around plus 74/63/42 Hz within a few seconds. 0040 DJ about it being Friday night, ``Light My Fire``. 0045 ID sounds like ``Ambient? Radio, 6925`` 0054 acknowledging listeners in PA, KY, Indonesia. 0100 ``Million Dollar Weekend Show``, refers to listeners on HFU. These say it`s Yeah Man Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81000.0.html https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81016.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, May 1 at 0100, Mystery Pirate Radio is supposed to repeat the Voice of Pancho Villa show via a station in the West, while 6925-USB earlier was from the East. So now I bring up a northern Utah remote, but accidentally in LSB so hear only traces at first. 0106 in USB there it is underway, S9+10/15 referring to Oklahoma, sounds like Beevis & Butthead about visiting ``gh``, but then it`s a YL knocking on his door. Another episode I`ve heard before. 0109 Spanish intro as one for 1996y to follow. 0112 back to own R75 where it`s S9+10, (and no 6925). VPV still audible past 0131. I`m adding all these refs to HFU only uplooked after my own writing: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81006.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat May 1 at 0112 S9/+10 music, no doubt Ball Smacker Radio on its regular schedule. Too much going on at same time so not pursued further this week. More, agree: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81009.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.9-AM, May 1 at 0113, S7-S8 of undermodulated music, no doubt Nowhere Radio as heard several times before on this almost-exact frequency. More here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81001.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6952-USB, May 1 at 0131, yet another pirate is on tonight, S9 music; something about a tree house in the state of Washington? and ``Pooh-bah Radio`` (?); ``Sound of Silence``. Intermittent buzz as if wiggling patchcord. 0147 mentions QSL, more music. Many reports here of FUBAR Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81019.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, May 1 at 0203 pirate music, 0204 repeating 8-note plus drum interval? signal. That`s the *Eighth* pirate tonight, and at 0205 four of them are on at once; enough! 6933, 6952, 6960 and 6974.9. A final quick check of 4+ and 5+ MHz finds none in those areas, not even Guatemala. These say it`s Voice of Communism from the ``Soviet Union`` for May Day: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81019.0.html But I QRT before hearing any more of it. Besides all this I have been trying to get one or two TV programs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11905, May 1 at 1839, anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH is JBA at W7RNA Phœnix remote, and at 1853 JBA carrier here, tnx to tip from Rick Barton in AZ who was hearing him better at 1815. YHWH has shown up before circa midday on various 25mb frequencies. Walt Salmaniw says he was off by 1930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 35, May 5 at 1514 UT, a little tropo enhancement produces one BAD signal normally invisible, on this channel only; could be full power in Wichita KS, low power in Woodward or Concho OK. Hepburn tropo map points toward the latter, the native station near OKC I`ve seen before, K35MV-D, 15 kW. I continue to wonder about its penetration into the OKC market; must it be carried on any cable channel? Soon fades out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 4775.037, May 5 at 0030, music from R. Tarma is S6-S7 into Bonaire SDR, on signature offset frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 4752.477v, May 5 at 0033, music, talk from R. Huanta 2000, also S6-S7 into Bonaire SDR but sounds weaker than Tarma. Both OAs luck out escaping the Progreso, CUBA, q.v. spurs out of 4765 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA. 4996-CW, May 4 at 0022, binary pulses at S4-S5, via Bonaire SDR. Got to be the 10 kW timesignal station in Taldom near Moskva, despite the distance, doing as well as WWV into Bonaire SDR. Yes, there are pips on the minute at 0023, 0024, 0025, 0026. Also checked 9996, no signal there. WRTH does not show any `program sked`; it would be very helpful to know at least when they ID. IIRC it`s at :39 and :09. Recheck at 0107 in constant tone/dash, 0108 dead air, and yes, 0109 RWM ID over and over in CW. 0217 rerecheck, second pips occasionally doubled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. See USA: 12160 WWCR ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9955, May 4 at 1506, TOMBS is on WRMI again today // stronger 9395 and weaker 9455. Skedgrids now claim it`s daily at 1430-1600; M-F from 1400; among many other deadly hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also USA: 9955 WRMI ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7730, May 5 at 0618, another TOMBS transmission via WRMI bites the dust. Had been the last of three 7 MHz frequencies to retain the dead gasbag overnight; but still shows on the WRMI skedgrid as Overcomer 01-08, so absence could be temporary.

WORLD OF RADIO 2083 monitoring: Richard Lemke, Alberta, confirms Wed April 28 at 1030 on WRMI 5850. WORLD OF RADIO 2084 monitoring: just two days ago, IRRS via Challenger Radio, Villa Estense, Italy, replaced 594 with 918 kHz, escaping the 595v Morocco het; including three WOR broadcasts, starting with Friday 2030 UT as of April 30. So I`m checking how it worx via Euremotes. First the near-local Noale: tune in at 2022, JBA carrier at best! But was something else or exciter, as pops on air at *2023, now steady S9+18 with music. 2027 ID as WUSB, timecheck as 6:00, and `Off the Wall`, but then more music, sounds like xylophone vamping. WUSB is 90.1 in Stony Brook LINY where OTH is sked Tuesdays at that EDT. OTH is or was also on WBAI 99.5 NYC 25 hours later. It`s about hacking. NOT mentioned on IRRS schedule for Fri 22:00 MESZ, just `world news`. WOR does show at 22:30 on the sked and as monitored after IRRS ID giving the PO Box in Milano for reports, despite current e-mail advisories that they only accept email! Meanwhile I have been checking some other remotes: in quite well at UTwente, S9+15 atop lite QRM perhaps Spain. Not making it to Arctic Norway, JBA in southern Sweden. At Barcelona poorly audible but mixing with Spanish, presumably the 20 kW in Madrid. Recheck Noale after 2100, 918 still on with music until 2111.5* UT cutoff, by a timer? No sign of off-frequency 917 Nigerian.

WORLD OF RADIO 2084 monitoring: as often, missed due to sleeping the May 1 Sat 1300 on WRMI 15770, so hope to see some confirmation of it later. Confirmed Sat May 1 from 1800:38 on IRRS Bulgaria 7290 via UTwente SDR, very strong and loud without much QRM. Also Challenger Radio on new 918 kHz from Villa Estense, Italy, via the neighboring Noale SDR. I was listening to both before 1800: at 1750. 918 in English about ballet, steady S9+18; 7290 still weak Chinese. By 1757, 7290 open carrier is on at S9+25. At 1759, 918 stops unknown program to play the IRRS `Aïda` march theme with no upcut. 7290 JIPs it upcutting at 1759:47, quick IRRS sign-on, some pause and WOR from its start but not synchronized via these two very different routes. Now it`s S9+25/35 on 7290 via UTwente. Ends properly before 1830. Also confirmed Sat May 1 from 1949 tune-in until finished at 2002.8 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM via KB0FX remote, S9+8. It was skipping frequently and I hope this is an SDR defect, not that way out of Wentzville.

My attention is split with more than one real pirate during same hour; see NORTH AMERICA. Allan starts off trashing Tim Tron, a ``lazy bastard`` who apparently hasn`t been to Monticello lately, and as the elder engineer cannot be replaced. Long discussion of COVID; Allan says ``get the bloody shots!`` OTOH, A&A think masks are useless since the viri are measured in microns. 0048 plays an old clip from Paul Harvey lauding policemen. [IIRC his father was one.] 0055 Allan says he convinced Angela to get vaccinated, ending her holdout. Usual bits of email, prayer and out. Here`s John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started on time on both 6160 and 7490 with 7490 having the better signal again. Allan in the studio in a very warm Fla with a half naked Angela. Opening comments about how hard it is to keep the station running and Allan is upset with the aging staff, especially TimTron who hasn't been to the station much of late. Allan stated that there was no retirement in radio and no money in radio anymore. Angela starts an Angela's Angle complaining about people walking outside alone while wearing a mask or driving a car while wearing a mask. Most of her Angle was Covid related but did move to diet saying that people should eat less meat and drink more water. Phone call at 0042 from Tony Straka for a bit. After the call Allan plays a snippet of tape from an old Paul Harvey program concerning the police. Reading some emails at 0057 then Angela wishes that Trump could come back immediately to save the country and stop what Biden has started. Closing prayer at 0059. Off the air at 0100 and immediately into Hal Turner.

It so happens that per the April 1 program sked, Sun 17-18 on 12160 is supposed to carry The Overcomer. I wonder if that have expired and so turned off the transmitter rather than fill with something else. Reminds me, I have been intending to quote the following, as all kinds of contradictory info has been coming out about whether or how far in advance TOM is paid up at various stations: ``[WOR] Glitch at WRMI? Apr 25 at 5:16 AM --- Both 5850 and 5950 had dead air at 0507 tune in, but a few seconds later, there was an announcement from the Overcomer Ministry that the programs were paid up until October, and what happens after that is solely dependent on funding.

Likely Spain RNE1 with 10 synchros totaling 445 kW, headed by one 300; altho Romania has a single 400 too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5040.8, May 5 at 0020, RHC has a het on the plus side as heard by Bonaire SDR; no known such broadcasters. India should be about to open but not so off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 13530, May 5 at 1457 open carrier over CODAR, S9 with some fades to S6, off by 1501 recheck. Strong and steady enough to be intracontinental, but way outside a broadcast band, maybe ute? Or extracontinental CNR1 *jammer since 13530 is a Sound of Hope frequency until 1550 per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
