Glenn Hauser Log Roundup May 13-19
Please note and spread the word - for those not on a list where my almost-daily all-band but mainly SW log reports appear -- or for those who are but find this a more convenient archive, weekly merged roundups of all these reports in their original form are posted early every UT Thursday via: http://www.worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html
The latest one direct: https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2021_0513_0519.txt
** CUBA. 6060, May 20 at 0612, RHC English with Chief Meteorologist providing hardly-needed weather info for the NW Hemisphere, but big humbuzz again on this frequency; while 6100 & 6165 are equally good; 6000 is off; and 5040 in Spanish. Ivo keeps reporting 5040 in ``wrong`` language before and after 06; but maybe now it could be the ``right`` language if intentionally changed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. WRMI new skedgrid dated May 10 via wrmi.net at very bottom shows A-21 relays via TDF FRANCE, ending with:
``M07 Projet: Raadiyyoni Dirree Shaggar 17:00 17:30 0:30 Ethiopie 48W Mul ISS 15445 19 500 4/4/.8 128 7123456``
So unlike the others, it`s projected. Google translate identifies the name as Somali, which is a minolity language in Ethiopia. Removing the first word, however, if guesses Hindi, in neither case translating the second and third words, must be proper names. Broadly searching on the full name gets nothing but the Bulgarian DX blog where this is also mentioned today.
I check 15445 May 20 at 1700, but indeed no signals yet into Kuwait SDR or UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2087)
** MALI. 5995, May 20 at 0611, for second night, Bamako is missing. How about the day frequency after 0800, 9635? Seldom heard here and I think was already sporadic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2087)
** NEW ZEALAND [non]. 11725, May 20 at 0603, no signal from RNZI, tho Vanuatu manages a JBA carrier on 11835. Since it`s Thursday, maybe RNZI sked askew for maintenance chex. Also have signals on 11895, 11995, 12030, 12050. 11895 is usual NMI; the others? Per Aoki, 11995 = RFI Hausa; 12030 BBC French via Sao Tome; 12050 Ndadrason via Woofferton (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2086 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu May 20 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+15 but noisy into Bonaire SDR.

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: thanks this week to William Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, for a check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, ``in observance of my second Moderna COVID-19 shot on Mon 3 May 2021`` --- that`s a good idea!

First WOR 2087 broadcasts confirmed on WRMIs, UT Fri May 21 at 0130, on 7780, S9 and noisy into UTwente; and 5850, VG S9+35/40 into KB0FX remote in MO, also VG direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 5890, May 20 at 0609, WWCR Dead Brother Scare, but with Dead Gene Scott audio from 5935 clearly audible mixing at somewhat lower level. 5935? Also such a modulation mix at about equal levels, and S9+30! Among several dead gospel huxters WWCR propagates but now WWCR outdoes itself, two at a time, twice! In all these years of SWBC, WWCR still doesn`t have its basic act together; human error, or what?
When both signals be strong as this we`ve easily heard inter-modulation = leapfrog mixing product on 5980, another 45 kHz upward --- but not now, not even a carrier under the Cuban jamming against nothing. Well, WWCR manages to mix itself up one way or another! How about the other two WWCRs? At 0613, also dead the air on 4840 at S9+20/30; 3215 is TOMBS alone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2087)
