** AUSTRALIA. 12362-USB, April 25 at 1432, S2-S3, coastal marine weather in Oz-accented robOM, mostly wind direxions and speeds in knots, seas in metres, times in UTC? forecasts at least until Tuesday; geographical references unrecognized, except 1434 two tones, then Northern Territory. EiBi shows it`s VMW, Wiluna WA on air 24 hours. Nothing heard from companion VMC Charleville QL on 12365-USB supposedly also on air now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN [non]. 5985 WRMI & 6195 WHRI, April 25 at 0400-0429, NHK relay entirely in Spanish, no English insert here like in so many other language services.
6105 Japanese via FRANCE went off at 0400 April 25. Ira Holmes in central Florida reported that on April 23, 6105 had English at 0415-0500; but it was off April 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. Correxion: off at 2253.7* not 2353.7* of course; fixed: 9830, April 24 at 2247, checking VOT English via Bonaire SDR, Turkish music and just in time for YL sign-off claiming again this has been the 1230 broadcast on 15450! NOT. IS plays until 2253.7*, shux, no extra German today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [non]. 9410, April 25 at 1446, tune-in to end of a song, sounds like Nat-King Cole, then a non-English song, S5-S9. Of course, it`s VOA Korean via PHILIPPINES, also // weaker 12080 at 1451 check.
If you hear classic tunes from The American Songbook, chances are it`s VOA Korean service, which plays a lot of it. Is this a big thing among Koreans, or by the VOA-K music director; or retaliation for K-pop? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 12098-USB, Sat Apr 25 at 1436, CAP net, YL NCS Aspen Gold 99, each transmission ending with beep rather than ``over``; classic paramilitary lingo like ``wilco``; Yellowbird 73 one contact; 1439 asks for relays before we close. No, off at 1440* with net ID as Heartland. Aspen Gold is the Rocky Mountain Region tactical callsign, not specifically Colorado which is Blue Mesa. Maybe it was Yellow Brick, which is Kansas, get it? It seems we never hear any real axion on these CAP nets, such as rushing to scenes of plane crashes, but rather extremely rigid pro-forma exchanges.
No problem from the weak SWBC on 12095, which would be BBC Somali; HFCC, EiBi and Aoki all agree that on Saturdays only during this hour, BOTH Madagascar and Uzbekistan sites are in use. Surely it`s only one or the other (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed Saturday April 25 at 1134 the 1130 on WRMI 9955, S3-S6 vs pulse jamming.
April 25 at 1300 on WRMI 15770: JBA carrier here at 1305. Barely better in Bulgaria, reports Ivo Ivanov:

** U S A. 17775-, April 25 at 1457, KVOH on already and propagating S9! musical prélude to weekly Saturday English block, the SSOB with traces of 17815 WHRI? and 17615+ Sa`udi Arabia. Wavescan supposed to air at 1500, and confirmed a few minutes later when checked on a Kentucky KiwiSDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1040, April 25 at 0603 UT, WHO Des Moines IA with dead air until 0606 comes to life, blasting ever-changing opening music of C2CAM // many others but not synchronized, 1100, 1110, 1000, etc., guest host tonight Jimmy Church. What would Ronald Reagan say? Is no human paying attention at WHO to its output? I should have hastened to pull something else thru it. Maybe will recur (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11785, April 25 at 1442, open carrier with flutter, S1-S5. VOA Chinese via Philippines ends at 1400 and so too should the CNR1 or Firedrake jamming. Nothing after 1400, except in EiBi, CRI Chinese via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of imprisoning and brainwashing Uyghurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
