** CUBA [and non]. 13605, March 31 at 1401, Radio Martí is S9+20 unjammed, having just made the totally predictable A-season switch from 13820, where the wall of noise remains. Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, March 31 at 1425, China Plus relay in English on NF for A-19, ex-15700; S9+20 and somewhat undermodulated as required. Earlier, Wolfgang Bueschel had accumulated the A-19 sked for these relays, via Quivicán site:

0000-0100  5990 QVC 250  ND NAM  Spanish

0000-0100  9810 QVC 250 160 SAM  Spanish

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9630, March 31 at 0553, RNZI with C&W music on NF for A-19, S9+10, the SSOB by fair, virtually the OSOB, and ex-25m is essentially dead. No het, as R. Aparecida, Brasil, has been missing from 9630.5v lately, but it`ll be a hetmess should it resume! A bad pick for RNZI, now sked daily 0459-0658; then 5945, and from 1259 on 5980 as yet unchecked here. RNZ National program times within will shift one UT hour later on April 7 when NZ go off wacky DST of UT +13. At least that match DST offdate in Australiaparts now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, March 31 at 0610 UT, KZLS ``Enid`` is dead air; by next check at 1400 UT has added a big hum, but still no programod (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185-AM, March 30 at 1731 on caradio, loop of ``Happy Birthday to You`` by amateur pianist, occasionally interrupted, but still/again going at 1930. Our local Enid CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 7320-7325-7330, March 30 at 0551, DRM noise at S5, now RRI as scheduled 0530-0600 in English, plus 0600-0630 German. (WINB is also registered for same DRM frequency span at 07-09 M-F, 07-10 Sat/Sun) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA [non]. 7285-LSB, March 31 at 0441, VA5AA calling CQ contest, before Radio Sonder Grense would be on here anyway, but still no RSG at 0550, RSA SW gone for good. Others noted its finale on 3320 a few hours earlier. So NAmhams get a frequency back. QRZ.com shows VA5AA is: Mason John Hnatiw in REGINA, SK S4V 1V2 Canada --- that`s Witanh spelt backwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9515, March 31 at 0306, VOT English to N America at S9-S7. I had no luck for the earlier broadcast March 30 at 22 or 23 on 9830 or 5960, so this is my first A-19 QSY confirmation. Surely this will sidekick to 9515.7 at times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 15180, March 31 at 1430, YL in SW/C Asian service? at S2-S4 but one of few signals on band. HFCC A-19 shows it`s IBB in Uzbek this hour, 300 kW, 80 degrees from Woofferton UK, i.e. Radio Liberty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: Manuel Méndez, Spain, reports: ``6190, Hamburger LokalRadio, Goehren, *0700-0800, 30-03, English, ID “Hamburger LokalRadio”, programs “Media Network Plus and “World of Radio”. 25322``

UNIDENTIFIED. 4774.975, March 31 after 0600, romantic? song at S7 vs double-CODAR swooshes. I seldom pull any modulation here. First thought is Brasil or Perú which insist on colliding with each other; but if you believe Aoki sked, neither would be on between 04 & 07. Instead, TWR English is on 4775 until 0700 --- but Manzini sunrise was already at 0403 today, surely too late for them. So I refine the frequency (and maybe there is a second carrier almost the same), which points to S America. I found one report of TWR only 8 Hz low, while here`s a typical comparison of Brasil and Perú by Carlos Gonçalves from June 2016y: ``PERU 4774.946 R. Tarma, Tarma, 2232-2240, 02/6, canções índias; 34433, QRM do Brasil [Congonhas] em 4774.914`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12031, March 30 at 1606 check, the extremely distorted spurblob is finally gone, no QRM to SPAIN. I had been hearing it at various times every day March 26-27-28-29. We may never know what it was (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

W4HM Daily HF-MF Radio Wave Propagation Forecast #2019-91

Greetings to my fellow hamateur radio and SWL radio enthusiasts around the

world.

Welcome to my now shortened “not for profit” W4HM Daily HF-MF Radio Wave Propagation Forecast.

It’s the only accurate daily global HF-MF radio wave propagation forecast produced on the planet.

I'm a heliophysicist, troposphere meteorologist/climatologist, physical oceanographer and one of the few on the planet with advanced education and forecast experience in all aforementioned disciplines. In troposphere weather forecasting I have 46 years of experience and in solar, space and geomagnetic weather forecasting 31 years. In physical oceanography 10 years.

This is created and disseminated by Thomas F. Giella, W4HM in Lakeland, FL, USA © 1988-2019.

(((((W4HM Solar Cycle 24 Update and Solar Cycle 25 Forecast- Short and to the point.

Solar minimum will begin later in 2019 and may last longer than any previous solar cycle in the 20th century. When solar cycle 25 finally gets underway it could be the weakest since the middle of the 19th century. Another “Dalton” type lesser grand solar minimum may occur with a corresponding cooling of earth’s climate.

This would negate anthropogenic climate change (harmful man induced global warming) if it were occurring, WHICH IT ISN’T.

For more “truth” on the left wing lie of anthropogenic climate change (harmful man induced global warming) check out https://wattsupwiththat.com and http://www.climatedepot.com

On February 1, 2008 I forecasted that solar cycle 24 would be the smallest solar cycle in the past 100 years. That forecast verified. I also forecasted that solar cycle 25 would be almost non nonexistent.)))))

This HF-MF Radio wave propagation forecast is produced based on the SIGINT_CAP HF-MF radio wave propagation prediction software. X and O ray tracing is included.

I wrote it beginning in the late 1980’s but I’m sorry to say that it still can’t be distributed to the general public. It does outperform VOA CAP and Prop Lab.

I do check the actual band conditions at my location in the USA and tweak the forecast manually where and when necessary.

I also check global HF-MF radio wave propagation conditions via remoted radio

receivers on every continent of the globe and tweak the forecast manually if

and when necessary.

And last but not least I look at ionsonde stations on every continent of the

globe.

The hamateur radio JT65A mode RF signal levels received are based on 5 watts

and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.

The hamateur radio PSK31 mode RF signal levels received are based on 25

watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.

The hamateur radio CW mode RF signal levels received are based on 50 watts

and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.

The hamateur radio SSB RF mode signal levels received are based on 100 watts

and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.

The HF shortwave broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on

100,000 watts (100 kw) and a typical high gain VOA type curtain array

antenna.

The MF broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on 50,000 watts (50 kw) and an omnidirectional vertical antenna.

Please keep in mind that this is a relatively simplified HF-MF radio wave

propagation forecast, so as to keep it easily understandable and applicable

by the average radio enthusiast.

Radio Pirana beacon transmissions

Dear friends!

We have been now been on with our 8-10 watts Beacon transmitter from Europe for a week. This coming night will be the last one with this power in a time. From tomorrow we will reduce the power to 1 watt making it a more challenge to catch it.  So try it ;-)

The  8-10 watts CW Beacon transmitter has been heard in the east coast of th USA,  as well as in the southern part of South America. Lets see what a 1 watt can do :-)

The frequency is 6342kHz CW. Sched. is: 19.00 to at least 08UTC, sometimes even later.

If you are in doubt, you can check it at our website www.radiopirana.com where we will have a sign of, if it is ON or OFF.

This coming week we will also sending out replies for reports for our broadcasts from South America.

Most have already received a preliminary answer from us, but this week a more complete reply.

W4HM Daily HF-MF Radio Wave Propagation Forecast #2019-90

Greetings to my fellow hamateur radio and SWL radio enthusiasts around the

world.

Welcome to my now shortened “not for profit” W4HM Daily HF-MF Radio Wave Propagation Forecast.

It’s the only accurate daily global HF-MF radio wave propagation forecast produced on the planet.

I'm a heliophysicist, troposphere meteorologist/climatologist, physical oceanographer and one of the few on the planet with advanced education and forecast experience in all aforementioned disciplines. In troposphere weather forecasting I have 46 years of experience and in solar, space and geomagnetic weather forecasting 31 years. In physical oceanography 10 years.

This is created and disseminated by Thomas F. Giella, W4HM in Lakeland, FL, USA © 1988-2019.

(((((W4HM Solar Cycle 24 Update and Solar Cycle 25 Forecast- Short and to the point.

Solar minimum will begin later in 2019 and may last longer than any previous solar cycle in the 20th century. When solar cycle 25 finally gets underway it could be the weakest since the middle of the 19th century. Another “Dalton” type lesser grand solar minimum may occur with a corresponding cooling of earth’s climate.

This would negate anthropogenic climate change (harmful man induced global warming) if it were occurring, WHICH IT ISN’T.

For more “truth” on the left wing lie of anthropogenic climate change (harmful man induced global warming) check out https://wattsupwiththat.com and http://www.climatedepot.com

On February 1, 2008 I forecasted that solar cycle 24 would be the smallest solar cycle in the past 100 years. That forecast verified. I also forecasted that solar cycle 25 would be almost non nonexistent.)))))

This HF-MF Radio wave propagation forecast is produced based on the SIGINT_CAP HF-MF radio wave propagation prediction software. X and O ray tracing is included.

I wrote it beginning in the late 1980’s but I’m sorry to say that it still can’t be distributed to the general public. It does outperform VOA CAP and Prop Lab.

I do check the actual band conditions at my location in the USA and tweak the forecast manually where and when necessary.

I also check global HF-MF radio wave propagation conditions via remoted radio

receivers on every continent of the globe and tweak the forecast manually if

and when necessary.

And last but not least I look at ionsonde stations on every continent of the

globe.

The hamateur radio JT65A mode RF signal levels received are based on 5 watts

and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.

The hamateur radio PSK31 mode RF signal levels received are based on 25

watts and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.

The hamateur radio CW mode RF signal levels received are based on 50 watts

and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.

The hamateur radio SSB RF mode signal levels received are based on 100 watts

and ½ wave dipole up at 40 feet.

The HF shortwave broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on

100,000 watts (100 kw) and a typical high gain VOA type curtain array

antenna.

The MF broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on 50,000 watts (50 kw) and an omnidirectional vertical antenna.

Please keep in mind that this is a relatively simplified HF-MF radio wave

propagation forecast, so as to keep it easily understandable and applicable

by the average radio enthusiast.

Environment Center, other U.S. government entities and educational

Glenn Hauser logs March 27-28-29-30, 2019

** CUBA. 15700, March 27 at 1431, China Plus relay is S9+30 but suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13661.5 & 13738.8 approx., March 28 at 1443, buzzes centered about 13700, more spurs out of that RHC in addition to the bigger ones plus/minus 28.3 kHz. Then I have some modulation about 13634.7 during apparent asymmetrical multiple spur carrier peaks. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, March 29 at 0530, RHC English S9+10 but JBM; 6060 is S9+20/30 with good modulation but CCI and SAH from Algerian Qur`an via FRANCE; 6100 S9+10/20 undermodulated; 6165 S9 but JBM; 5040 S9+20/30 loud; talk is about slavery. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15700, March 29 at 1415, China Plus relay is JBA S5-S7, fadey, maybe also undermodulated. Usually this inbooms whatever the modprob. Cuba is about all one can hear in the morns on 19m: 15825 WWCR & 15770 WRMI being JBA to JBA carriers. How about the RHCs? 15140 is steady S9 but suptorted; 15230 weaker S5-S6 and not distorted. Can`t have everything. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 5995, March 27 at 0612, R. Mali finally audible in this daypart: poor S3-S4 of African language; Cuba off 6000 already.

5995, March 27 at 2359, African song, S9+20 but ACI; some widely-spaced tones maybe own timesignal? Or from 5990/6000 Cuba; by 0000 March 28, 5995 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, March 30 at 0115, rock music the only pirate found; 0118, 0125, 0137 YL IDs as Mix Radio International/Worldwide; S7-S9; off by 0256 recheck. More logs:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52390.0.html

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 9985, March 27 at 1534, RFA Korean is S9-S5, from now confirmed refurbished Saipan antenna. I don`t hear any jamming on this; does DPRK try? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, March 27 at 1500 UT, Classical KUCO-FM manager Brad Ferguson, after Stardate, in pledge drive, says this is the first full day they are on full power from new transmitter, 100 kW ERP, new processor and antennas; and want reports about improved reception. He asked me directly how it is in Enid. Transmitter power is 38 kW.

I checked around 19-20 UT as I was driving around. Altho the signal seemed somewhat stronger overall, I had to tell him:

still picket-fencing

still subject to Vance aircraft multipath Doppler flutter

still blocked by noise at traffic signals

still not breaching stereo threshold, tho caradio shows ST; it blends 

rather than separates

unlike 91.7 KOSU, 92.5 KOMA and many other OKC stations rock-solid

Later he explained that KUCO had been running only 20 kW ERP from old transmitter; that side-mounting antenna on mast has been positioned for max lobes up I-44 to the NE and down I-35 to the S. No doubt that makes sense demographically. So away they go! That explains why there is not much improvement here to the NNW, still a need for a translator, if it could get a perfect signal input, perhaps from the feedline to KBCW and KCSC relays.

EARLIER as installation was underway, Chris Stevens of RFSolutions wrote, ``Once this is complete it will be pretty much the top of the line radio site in terms of power, efficiency and technology. We are running the best processors you can get into the best transmitter you can want. Add in the efficiency of liquid cooled and it’s a perfect combination with remote control capabilities that Captain Kirk would be jealous of`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WORLD OF RADIO 1975, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 7285, March 29 at 0525, R. Sonder Grense in Afrikaans including a clip in accented English, S9+10 and still on air; for its last day? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday March 27 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, fair vs storm crashes up to S6; also one second later on WBCQ 7490+ at S5-S7. Also confirmed UT Thu Mar 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, good S9+10/20 better than usual on this NEward frequency.

Due to medical distraxions I could not get WOR 1975 prepared and recorded until Friday March 29, availablized on website at 0200 Mar 30

Larry Will wrote: ``On 3265 via WBCQ at 0223 UTC March 30. First airing?`` Must be; tnx, Larry! Ad-hoc, confirmed here at 0242 check on 3264.9, recognizable but JBA and vs increasing line noise level bothering here; it`s always something.

** U S A. 7490.15, UT Sat March 30 at 0050, WBCQ is playing a lot of music, DJ Larry Will, Jane, et al., so is it really called Allan Weiner Worldwide? Live timechex, said would go off at 0100 and continue on 3265 ---- but 7490 did not cut off until 0113* after more music. John Carver files his fuller report:

``Tonight's show started at 0001 after an audio clip from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. No voice overs during the theme song, then a clip of Allan flying off the handle about moonbats then into music which told me that Larry and Jane Will were doing the show this evening. Larry said that Allan and Angela were off on super, secret business for the station. Some talk of this week's special HAARP broadcasts, then a short description of what HAARP was and consisted of. Then a synopsis of all of the conspiracy theories involving HAARP. Some more music.

Then some talk of Ken Nordine and playing one of his bits from the record collection from the old WXM. A refreshing change from last week`s Gloom and Doom show. A brief rundown about 3265 and the birth of the Falling Star Network. Said that Monday thru Friday 0100 to 0500 the programming came from Area 51 and Area 51 programmers. Said they are still running low power during this testing period and are still experimenting with different antenna systems though no technical details included.

Phone call at 0049 from Ramsey then into more music. Program was off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, March 28 at 0100, WRNO is back on after a few nights? off, S9 but just barely modulated. March 29 at 0125, now it`s VG S9+10/20 with fully modulated gospel huxter; 0522 hymn at S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.14, March 28 at 0540, harmonic with the most modulation yet but still too weak, seems YL talking but can`t tell language. At 0548 an OM instead. Have been presuming it`s 2 x 1470.07v, but since 2+9+4 = 15, a multiple of 3, this could also be a third harmonic of 980+.  http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=980 shows a few remote possibilities (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12031, March 27 at 1437, approx. peak of extremely distorted blob at S5-S6; ``modulation`` cadence of some talk but totally unreadable; compared to RHC and Martí frequencies, but NO match. 12050 is a JBA carrier, presumably WEWN Spanish which unseems source, but if so is putting most of its power out here.

12031 blob is still there at 2024 March 27 and now QRMing 12030 Spain when tuned to LSB. 12050 has two weak signals presumably WEWN and Ascension. So it`s on long hours and propagating, but not heard later in afternoon, evening.

12031v blob is still2 there at 1452 March 28 before Spain is on weekdays. FM mode tuning makes it sound a bit more like speech, totally unreadable past 1500 and again not matching OCB or RHC.

12031 blob extends up to 12040, March 29 at 1418, QRMing TURKEY 12035.7. (12050 WEWN is VP but sounds OK) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1975, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
