RADIO REPORT FROM GLEN HAUSER


* ALASKA. 9695, May 2 at 1406, something new with gospel rock, S6-S2
but well modulated, best signal on band except for WRMIs and WBCQ.
Likely either RBA or WCB, but quickly ID in passing as ``Your New Life
Station``, so KNLS, which besides, is gone from 9580 where we had been
hearing this English hour. Why change? No CCI or ACI to 9580 during
this hour nor shown in Aoki/NDXC.

1450, still going on 9695 with gospel music, and then capsule about
archaeology, no doubt biblical and anti-science. A bit more music with
no sign-off but dead air at 1459, keeps running and 1500 opens
Russian, which I guess is also a replacement for 9730 where I just
heard it a few days ago, but unrechecked now.

Is 9695 now on the ``latest broadcasting schedule``? Of course not!
https://www.worldchristian.org/welcome/who-we-are/how-to-listen/

Guess what: Sa`udi in Pashto is already scheduled on 9695 at 14-16,
but no sign of it here, maybe imaginary. Guess what (2)? KNLS is
scheduled on 9695 at 08-10 in English & Russian, so now I suspect 9695
be a one(?)-off mistake, failing to change to 9580/9730 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, May 2 at 0521, RTA Qur`an via FRANCE again has
rapid-beep jamming, tone or carriers less than 1 kHz from each side;
approx. 10 X per second. A few recent chex lacked them, so not always
applied. Who would want to jam this? Could it be something else, like
spurs out of Cuban jamming nearby against no Martí?

7365 over 7335 does not compute, as that would land on 7305, 30 kHz
away. However, 7435 over 7365 would fit, 70 kHz away. But these beeps
do not match the mix of sounds heard on the Cuban jammers, nor their
rate, and besides, would not explain why other RTA frequencies are
also reported jammed. Maybe coincidental (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7335, 7365, 7405, 7435, May 2 at 0521, Cuban jamming of
various levels still running here against Radio Martí frequencies, the
active ones of which, 7335 and 7435, have just been turned off for
good at 0400* per budget cuts, as monitored by Stephen Luce, Houston
TX. We expect the DentroCuban jamming command will not swiftly turn
off too, as they have kept jamming many other previous RM channels.
However, Stephen Luce follows up:

``At a later 0530 check May 2 the Cuban jamming was still going on
6030; however nothing on 7335 and 7435.``

Steve McGreevy suggests: ``A few things come to mind why Cuba keeps-on
their jamming (possibly):

1) Unaware of the Marti outage thus keeping them going;
2) They know BUT afraid to switch off the jammers and have Marti take
advantage and switch back on in the clear...
3) The Cubans have more jamming budget under their system to blare
away 24/7 (?) rather than "budget" to better-match the schedule of
Marti... a little cold-war remnant just like our monitoring of the
KOR/KRE fascination, eh?! 73 - Steve :-) -- N6NKS -

** CUBA. 13436, 13501, 13568, 13634; 13766, 13833, 13900, May 2 at
1411-1415, extremely distorted FM/AM spurblobs at approx. 66-kHz
intervals out of 13700-AM, the outer ones JBA except for S7-S9 13900
which I hit first downtuning; in some cases a trace of the F# tone the
only clue. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13545, 13610, 13675; 13805, 13870, 13935, 13999 approx., May
2 at 2116, now it`s the 13740-AM frequency carrying the
spur-blob-producing transmitter we have previously caught on 15370,
and many mornings including today on 13700. Now these are about 65-kHz
intervals, declining from strong S4-S6 at the first order out to JBA
on the outskirts, at least with the signature F# tone. 13870 also
conflicts with the RTTY normally on there. This of course can only
happen when fundamental 13740 be on the air in the tardes, extremely
irregular. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA [and non]. Dawn Chorus birdsongs started at 0015 May 3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgwftFhUQCk
Tnx to Jose Jacob for the link (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun May 3 at 0027, The Mighty Farty KBC
on reactivated May-Aug frequency via Nauen, GERMANY, rock music, what
else? Fair signal to UTwente SDR, maybe a bit too close. But JBA here
in OK! at 0034 check; at a Maine SDR, good signal that far anyway. At
UTwente, ex-5960 is now open for Chinese. Perhaps 7 MHz band would
have been a good compromise for broader North American coverage (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, May 3 at 0033, JBA rock music here, but
good at Maine SDR, seems originally live concert with crowd applause.
Some unreadable announcements. Many logs here say it`s KINK Radio,
apparently playing only music by a such-named band.
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,66482.0.html
0042 stops, but soon resumes on 6935-AM, apparently same station
(Glenn Hauser, OK WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1-WBFM, May 2 at 2015 UT, KUCO-FM Edmond/OKC with this
Saturday`s opera already over, the anonymous fill-music show is
playing something very interesting; I really perk up when I hear a
well-known humaly in the voice of Carl Sagan. It ends at 2035 when
Lane Whitesell IDs this as Carolyn Shaw`s ``The Listeners``.

We never know exactly when the good stuff will start once the Met be
over. Unfortunately, KUCO provides no playlist on weekends even for
its original programming, so I search about it later. ``The
Listeners`` premiered last fall in California:

https://www.sfcv.org/reviews/philharmonia-baroque-orchestra-chorale/philharmonia-baroque-orchestra-chorale-unveils

https://www.kdfc.com/culture/the-state-of-the-arts/caroline-shaw-the-listeners-world-premiere/

https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/music/review-caroline-shaws-gleaming-new-oratorio-looks-toward-the-cosmos

https://philharmonia.org/2019-2020-season/a-cosmic-notion/

So far I don`t find any linx to recordings of it which one of these
says is about 30 minutes long. But KUCO got it.

Some more vocal music on KUCO, and listening on $tereo headphones, I
can tell that Lane is voice-tracked, as there are breaks in the
background noise level during his announcements. With another hour to
fill, after ToH IDs at 2100 it drops to dead air for a minute, then
defaults to non-vocal music, really strange stuff, harpsichord and
violin hitting some really sour notes; like a parody? When I recheck
at 2110, Kimberly Powell is apparently live, apologizing for
disruption in regular programming, and playing a properly tuned piano
quintet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 2 at 2210, VOT English is on the air today, but
mostly Turkish fill music, VG via UTwente but with some hum --- not
positive whether it be transmitted thus. But from 2229.5 to 2228, it`s
an evergreen `Turkey`s Tourist Attraxions`, all about the crossroads
of Istanbul. Rest is mostly music, occasional TRT/VOT promos ``with
you 24 hours`` --- really? and 2238 COVID-19 PSA about how to fight
it; 2253 sign-off claiming it`s the 1230 broadcast on 15450, IS, 2256
restart IS with German IDs inserted but this time cut off at 2258.5*
before can start that phantom service. Something`s always awry at
Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2032 monitoring: did anyone hear
the Sat May 2 at 1130 on WRMI 9955 while I snoozed, and how was the
jamming?

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, catches the next one:
