Glenn Hauser logs April +11, 2021

** ALGERIA [non]. 13815, April 11 at 1822, S6-S7 Qur`an: RTA via FRANCE, only thing ever on this frequency, this hour only per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, reply to my report of no signal from LRA36 when I checked after 1530 Wed April 7, but was heard earlier, when? ``From: Giovanni Lorenzi --- Hi Glenn, the time of listening LRA36 15476 kHz on April 7 was 1400-1530 UT: first I have used CX8BIT SDR kiwi in Montevideo Uruguay with signal rating SINPO 35555 and after SDR in Caruaru (Brazil) PY2PE and finally LU4EEC in Argentina Buenos Aires with poor signal. 73 de Giovanni`` (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, April 11 at 0623, RHC English still with humbuzz, but we have choices between the other two: 6100 good S9+20, 6165 same level but less modulated. 6000 off already. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 13799.44v, April 11 at 1833, JBA carrier with trace of Arabic talk, I can now confirm as spur out of S9+35/40 Bamako 13685 relay at 1830-1930 only of CRI, as heard yesterday on exactly the opposite side of 13685, and again today. 13570-USB tuned in by 1828 on UTwente SDR, nothing, but by 1830 I detect the het, and tho JBA carrier, get UTw AM Synch to lock onto it at 13570.735, and it`s slowly drifting downward by the Hz to 13570.700 as transmitter warms up. Fundamental with same behaviour, 13685.075, down to 13685.060 etc. And the upper spur: 13799.444 down to 13799.431, etc. During a 60-second span, this one loses 2 Hz, and I assume all will eventually become mores stable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWEDEN [non]. 15510, April 11 at 1819, African language mentions Obama, S9/+10. Aoki shows it`s Radio Sama = IBRA Radio via Woofferton UK in Fulfulde this semi-hour, preceded by Tigrinya, followed by Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. Woofferton relays of R. Sama - see SWEDEN [non]; of VOA, see USA [non]

** U S A [non]. 15660, April 11 at 1820, language mentions Amnesty International in English, S9+10 with music background. Aoki shows it`s VOA Amharic this hour via Woofferton UK. VOA also on 15660 from various other sites before and after this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2081 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday April 11 at 0331 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, about 3 minutes into so started about 0328. S9+20/30 received here direct. Next:

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun April 11 at 0030 & 0045 chex, WTWW-2 rock music distorted instead of `Theatre Organ Under the Arch`, so no need to go to the webcast, which is still blocked as a dangerous site anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13845, April 11 at 1821, WWCR is S9+10 here with YL huxtress, presumably PMS, discussing circumcision; while 15825 is usual JBA carrier. Therefore the sporadic E MUF is somewhere between them; an hour later there`s a 25 MHz patch over NW Georgia on DXMAP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Ron Howard replied April 8 to my report of how R. Vanuatu sounds: ``Hi Glenn, Normally RV does start the news about one minute or so after the hour. Their intro is indeed always with the same theme music; consisting of indigenous horns and drums, making for a very unique sound; ending the news with a different theme music. Ron`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
