For those who may not have seen it, I have been intending to link to RHC`s obituary for Arnie Coro: https://www.radiohc.cu/en/noticias/nacionales/309905-prominent-cuban-journalist-and-professor-arnaldo-coro-antich-passes-away (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, 10080, 11670, 12000, Jan 13 at 0720, RHC is OFF early from possible frequencies. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Jan 13 at 2133, still no signal of R. Cairo into UTwente, nor reported for almost a month; something`s egregious in Egypt. I may stop non-logging it now until and unless it upshow (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORFOLK ISLAND. 5045, Jan 13, Nick Hacko notified the WOR iog of another test of Radio DX bracketing local sundown, 0730-0830 UT. Direct, nothing yet at 0720, but JBA carrier detectable at 0724! No more than that here direct, 0735 recheck, so this time I`m listening via the Maui SDR, which others were using well two nights ago. At 0729, I can hear my voice with the ID recorded for original use last April. It`s S5/S7 into Maui with some storm crashes but Blitzortung does not show any major lightning areas closer than NSW and SE USA. IDs repeat a few in a row with pauses; 0731, woman singing hymn, ``Just a Closer Walk with Thee``. Parts of this also repeat several times. 0736, seems like lite CW QRM with VVVs. I see Gary Pence and someone in Sydney are also listening via Maui. Some breaks in transmission like 0740.7* to *0741.5; running-water QRM at 0742.7. At 0748, during an ID suddenly switches to SSB, so I switch to USB, but it`s soon back in AM. Nick said this was a defect of his transmitter. 0752, the hymn again, 0755 IDs, which I re-record before I go to bed. 0758, YL starts another song. 0818, my final check direct on R75 with E/W longwire, still JBA carrier vs S9 high local noise level. Presumably runs until about 0830. Many other reports of this in the WOR iog. Power 200 watts into vertical antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 4810, Jan 13 at 0723, JBA carrier, presumed R. Logos. Only chance to copy anything is by LSB tuning avoiding STANAG on plus side, but there is still weak CODAR QRM on minus side vs this signal too weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Fri Jan 13 at 0230-0245, WRMI playing pop/rock/rap music, fill? instead of classical `Encore` still scheduled at 0200-0300. Notified Jeff White and Brice Avery: there was an error in the file name, repaired so further repeats will be OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Jan 13 at 0722, JBA carrier, no doubt SIBC in 5025 Cuba sideband, boding well for the imminent 5045 test from Norfolk Island, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Friday January 13 at 2300, REE in tokEnglish, VG S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR, before news, previews that feature will be about the play `La Vida es Sue?o` by Calder?n de la Barca. A few minutes later it`s recording of press conference by the English-speaking director and stage designer, since they don`t do interviews` with consecutive English/Spanish interpretation back and forth: very competently done and could serve as a language lesson in itself. But I`m not very interested in the subject. It seems REE English leans heavily on the arts to talk about, such as theatre, music, painting, all of which lack something when they are only being discussed orally. Safer subjects, I guess, than politix or hard news about what`s going on in Spain. At outset I quickly checked the other frequencies into same SDR: 12030 for ME much weaker but second-best; 11940 for S America third and with an echo; 11670 for Africa still no signal. Just before 2300, 12030 was not // in some other language (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.001, Jan 13 at 2257, TRT is already on with IS, tough luck for BBC listeners, S9+35/35 into UTwente, but a bit undermodulated. At first I`m mainly listening to simulSPAIN, q.v. By 2313 during music, CCCCCCI from XJPBS, EAST TURKISTAN has hit it from the land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. 2320 filler plug ``The Voice of Tuerkiye, always by your side``, and then, not to be confused with `Weekly Commentary`, now `Weekly Analysis`, written by some professor, about conflicts in 2023 concerning Turkey, mainly war in Ukraine, implying that it`s being prolonged due to US aid --- well? Also focus on the Black Sea. 2324 suddenly dumps off the air uncovering XJPBS at S8+5/15. I attend to REE so not sure exactly when it come back; but at 2329 the CCCCCCI is worse making a pumping SAH of 3 Hz while UTwente now shows TRT +002 Hz high. 2333 the multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2335 `Feeling Supreme` - or is it `Healing Spring`? anyhow a repeat of how wonderful the kiwi fruit is. At 2343 I switch to the same Maryland remote used for Spaingl?s earlier, where TRT is not so solid, S8/9+12 but better ratio against the CCCCCCI, still some detectable SAH fading. 2350 `Did You Know That?` about significance historically of the number 7, and how two of the Seven Wonders of the World were in Anatolia. 2353 s/off with schedule, one run of IS to turnoff at 2354.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2173 monitoring: confirmed first SWBC, UT Friday January 13 at 0330 on WRMI 7780: as usual, JBA direct, S5/S8 vs noise level; sufficient S9/+10 into Maurice LA SDR. NOT confirmed Friday January 13 at 0830 on WRMIs: briefly scheduled here, but now `OTH Radio` hour heard on all three, 5010, 5850 and 7780 at 0812. Also confirmed Friday January 13 at 1533 the 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9 direct: pleased it`s on this week; 1545 displeased that 9955 has been turned off by now. We never know whether this airing will be on SW at all, usually not. Also confirmed Friday January 13 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz but still no signals on 918 or 207 kHz; S9+15/20 into nearby Noale SDR, lite CCI causing a rippling SAH. Preceding American-accented discussion show chopped off by 2130 for ID and WOR. {too late to fix on WOR, Ken Zichi corrects his frequency range for CODAR including Morse code IDs: 4450-4475 like the other reporter, not 7450-7475} Next: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 0500 UT Saturday WBCQ Radio Angela 5130v to WSW 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0530] 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0400vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated.
