** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, March 30 at 2130, WRMI, expecting to hear Italian hour from RAE, but instead it`s in Brazuguese! talking about this being a special program, due to COVID-19 quarantine; RAE relaying Radio Nacional domestic; no new programs now via WSMI [sic!], but replays of old shows, and these announcements in the 8 languages; see website for news. 2139 a bit of tango and into same info in German. Probably would have heard the other six during the whole hour.
Then I see a report from Ivo Ivanov that today at 1300-1330 on 15770, RAE relay was in Spanish/Italian/French/Chinese.
7780, March 30 at 2352 I check the RAE `French` semihour via WRMI, and hear English, music, 2353 into Chinese.
5800, March 31 at 0241, this WRMI is still on with music, RAE French announcer from home with same info, part of 8-language rotation. 5010 is off and no //s on 5, 7 or 9 MHz bands. 5800 retuned at 0249, has gone off in meantime at odd hour. (No full survey of WRMIs this evening) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 6125, 7355, 7435, March 31 at 0227, the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command with wall-of-noise jamming on all three against nothing, since in A-20, Radio Martí this hour is now on 5980, 7335 and 7365 all with NO jamming! Also 6030 with jamming as usual but unusually atop it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, March 30 at 2059 tune-in, good signal with ME song but cut off at 2100*. It`s Denge Welat, best heard here in a long time; must tune in earlier. Ivo Ivanov also reports today:
``BRB Denge Welat via Grigoriopol/Issoudun March 30
0600-1600 on 11530 KCH 300 kW / 130 deg to WeAs Kurdish, weak+TRT*
1600-2100 on 11530 ISS 250 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish, very good
* co-ch same 11530 EMR 500 kW / 105 deg to WeAs Turkish R. Erdogan!``
No TRT jamming heard before or after 2100 here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, March 31 at 0211, there he is, anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH with usual screed, thin modulation, but mostly readable S8-S9; weaker but still on past 0302. Walt Salmaniw was hearing him better than ever in BC; while Richard Langley heard him not at all in NB. This time I beat Rick Barton to YHWH; he in AZ tuned in at 0315.
Walt continues: ``Unlike most other evenings heard, YHWH has remained at good/very good level for the last hour I've monitored, with only occasional fades. Continues at 0335 with, "Christianity, the greatest hoax". An old program heard many times in the past. Josiah promises to come back after this hour canned program. 7475 went off at 0402:47 UT with his brief time check (9:04, but actually was only 9:02 PM Pacific Time). Can anyone make out his last name? Josiah ??? He mentions it, but with the tinny audio, it's difficult to hear. 73, Walt`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Correxion to one virtual channel cited, 52-1 MyNetwork, not 51-2, fixed:
RF 23, March 30 circa 1525 UT, underpowered KSBI OKC is decoding thru one of my antennas with a little tropo help, viz.: 52-1 KSBI-DT, 52-2 BOUNCE, 52-3 LAFF, 52-4 GRIT, 52-5 MYSTERY, each PSIP all-caps. This matches rabbitears.info with 52-1 as MyNetwork, but not a.k.a. nickname ``News 9 Plus`` --- that`s only on RF 25, KWTV 9-2. 52-1 takes CBS programming sometimes when bumped off KWTV 9-1, especially tornado season and now CV to boot (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, March 30 at 2323, REE is VG S9+30/40 in Spanish; if M/W/F English were to resume it would be at 2200. 9690 was reported absent yesterday; anyhow it`s all RNE1 domestic relay now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, March 30 at 2200+, nothing from VOT English as A-20 scheduled to N America; just RTTY de NAU PR; nor at 2227. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
7275, March 31 at 0256, carrier cuts on and off and on at least thrice; 0259 IS & ID JBA in English, VP around S7 but no QRhaM as they are perfectly entitled to impose. Don`t TRT know that in the Americas, this is a hamband? Did no one at HFCC clue them in? Timesignal at 0300 is accurate with WWV, not late! Usual VOT sign-on to W N America with schedule including 9785, 9830 for earlier airings, but can`t copy it completely to detect any errors to be prolonged for the next 7 months. // 6165 to Asia is a JBA carrier. An earlier tentative version of HFCC A-20 had this on 9515 like last year, thus our expectation, rather than down to 7275 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 9795, March 30 at 2158-2200+, no signal, nor at 2227-2230+, unlike yesterday with something SE Asian(?). Sometime after 2300 however, when my inkpen failed, 9795 does contain something like that, presumed FEBC Philippines. Maybe they start an hour earlier on Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
