Can you confirm that 7290 is permanently canceled; and there will not be any IRRS SW broadcasts of WOR or any of the other media programs? Meanwhile 1323 seems to be doing well at least to the nearby remote -- except during the 19-20 UT hour when interference from Romania in German is considerable. And in Hungarian before 1900. Glenn`` Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS replied March 1: ``Hi Glenn, We focused more on raising power on MW 1323 kHz lately to cover Ukraine, eastern Russia and Belarus (besides the rest of Central and Northern Europe). I confirm our commitment on 7290 kHz Shortwave for one hour in the evening from 20-21 CET. Our program schedule had been adjusted slightly to allow new programs from 19-23:10 (approx) CET and added more news coverage on 1323 kHz. We may have to move WOR slightly as airtime is filling up due to special programs beamed to the new war zone, regretfully. Will update you on this. Also check: https://www.nexus.org/humanitarian-radio-broadcasting-at-the-time-of-the-ukrainian-war/ Best 73s. Alfredo`` I see that 7290 has been re-inserted into the program sked at 19-20 UT only, at least on the visible days, along with 1323 on a longer span. Let`s hear if 7290 be axually on air today. And go to the link about IRRS` power increase --- never specified -- on 1323; but WRTH 2022 showed it originally only 5/1 kW. ``Beamed to the war zone`` -- does that mean a direxional antenna? Got to UTwente just in time March 1 at 1957 when there were 2797 users, and on 7290 heard a bit of an Irish song before it froze up. Off the air by the time I got it back but that must have been IRRS reactivated via Bulgaria. Later checking 1323 kHz via nearby Noale SDR, at 2038 closing TUC Radio, maybe their latest podcast about Ukraine crisis: https://tucradio.org/section/podcasts/newest-podcasts/ then `Power Minute` of gospel-huxtering. At 2059 someshow cut off, ID, 2100 `Feature Story News` and `UN News` BTW with so many users on UTwente now, some are constantly going and coming, so if you don`t hook up at first, or lose it, chances are good of getting back on if you keep refreshing sooner rather than later, the max now unknown but keeps expanding? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, March 1 circa 2300, no signal here from VOT on the DX-398 with clipon, but maybe on the air. At 2358, UTwente is still getting it S9+30 with IS and German ID, so here we go again since something`s always erroneous at Emirler: 2400 timesignal and opening spurious German atop the CCCCCCI; only the latter at 0014 recheck March 2, CNR1 via PBS Xinjiang, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 11720, Feb 28 at 2105, VOA is still playing music over its only active English frequency from Grimesland, Soul on Mondays, rather than `Flashpoint Ukraine`. It`s reported only on VOA regular English webcast, presumably of no interest to Africans! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

Re my comments about WBCQ 4790 and the new Radio Angela, Bill Tilford responds: While I dislike the CODAR issue more than anyone, I'm not sure I otherwise agree with the notion of 4790 being WBCQ's worst frequency in terms of coverage reach. Both in tests and the first night's official broadcast, 4790 has terrestrially outperformed 7490 in parts of the midwestern US and clobbered it in Europe, where 4790 will often arrive in parts of Eastern Europe as a quite listenable breakfast show as well as the US and Canada. Yes, there are local bad zones, but that is true with many frequencies. As to Latin America, we'll see what coming months bring (or not). 7490's secret weapon has been its webcasts, which in the context of this discussion don't count, along with its somewhat better reach out west and down south. As a transatlantic frequency, 4790 appears to be the better option, azimuth notwithstanding. As to Encore, our own schedule was not for the purpose of stealing listeners from it - I respect and enjoy that program myself. But it does have multiple repeats throughout the week (unlike WBCQ Concert Hall, which plays once) with the same remote web sdr possibilities that some of our listeners will need to use to bring in Radio Angela's programs. There are miscellaneous reasons, some related to production schedules, why the other programs in the RA schedule are pencilled in where they are, and for now Sunday is what makes sense for WBCQ Concert Hall. We are also doing longer-form works (whole operas and symphonies) than Encore due to the luxury of a two hour slot, so it's not really the same material. Whether that works to our advantage or Encore's at any point in time will depend upon a listener's mood and preferences. Hopefully we will both thrive. And, for those on the horns of a dilemma, there are, as mentioned, recorders. Since neither program is pay-per-listen, let us instead be happy that this much classical is back on the airwaves between the two. A much better problem to have than "gee, there's nothing on..." The WBCQ.com website has historically taken its time for updates, for those with access to Facebook, the WBCQ The Planet Facebook page has the full published schedule.`` (via WOR iog via Glenn Hauser) ** U S A. (7490v), UT Tue March 1 at 0030, WBCQ webcast after secret semirepeat of UBMP, theme sounder of `Camp Constitution Radio`, then commercial for IBM.com! before body of CCR. Amazing that IBM would sponsor that; possibly random adsertion somewhere up the line (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0457 UT March 2 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 231, Issue 2 ********************************************
