? why 7249.957 kHz is such ODD FQY in 41 meterband
of most modern Ampegon Thomcast tx units output at Kabd site,
thats the question ! 73 wb
Yes Glenn,
TX SWITCH ON TIME IS MUCH EARLY,
noted s w i t c h o n a i r
at 07.45 UT used available px feed in English til 07.59UT,
then stn ID in Arabic first ... 08.01 UT into Persian / Farsi language to
Persia and Afghanistan
and when end R KWT Persian px regularly at 10.00 UT,
... some two ... three sentences and mx heard of then scheduled
Filipino language section
(meant in regular sce on requested shortwave 17760 kHz also to SoEaAsia PHL
target)

310324 261024 Fil KWT RKW MOI 4133
why Filipino language scheduled ?
There are hundreds of thousands of Filipino native workers
living in fields and fruit plantations in Israel
and households in Saudi Arabia and UAE, Oman etc.
as low-cost workers.

I guess this mean that English on the program feed may be there from 0500, but
no SW frequencies on air before 0745 when 7249.957 switch on early before the
0800 Persian?

Perseus-net and three local Kuwait KIWI units taken via webbrowser re-
motedly, from Kuwait Amateur Radio Society #1 rx at URL

at 09.35 UT, scheduled Persian sce 08-10 UT, S=9+25dB in Doha Qatar,
S=9+15dB on local Kuwait KIWI SDR via webbrowser access.
At 09.59:35 UT program end with 'Kuwait National Hymn' played, followed
by Time Pips at exact 10.00 UT on April 1, and
two sentences in Filipino(!) language, read by PHL female voice pre-
senter, cut-OFF 41 mband bcast txion at 10.02 UT,
R Kuwait's Filipino language section which is scheduled from 10 to 12 UT
on shortwave 17760 kHz, but was N O T on air in 16 mband today.
Further check showed DRM digital mode bcast on R Kuwait's 19 mband
15110 kHz DRM even S=9+30dB powerhouse in Hiroshima and Tokyo Japan at
10.07 UT. Someone with DRM decoding availability should check, whether
in Arabic or English program presence there digital.
Re Radio Kuwait Kabd:
yes, after some months break noted R Kuwait again on shortwave trans-
mission via two SW units these days around 09 to 10 UT.
Kuwait - 0500-0800 UT English 11970 15530 is this active at all ?
Not seen reported for very long time. Need to check via remotes.

World of Radio Hitlist Update
Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
1) Updated UTC offset notation for end of DST in New Zealand (RNZ)
2) Romania - RRI: Removed links to programme grids in English and
Romanian - both return server error, and have done so for many months
3) Switzerland - C M Obrecht Radio: Added entry
4) Taiwan - RTI: Updated link to new RTI program schedule effective 1
April
5) Ukraine - RUI: Updated links to Home and On-demand pages, and added
alternate link for live stream (with thanks to Alexander Miatlikov in
WORiog mail list)
6) USA - WRMI: Added link to Guero's useful alternative layout of the
WRMI sked grid (thanks to Guero for permission to use); also added
link to WRMI programme summaries
The next update is scheduled for early May.
Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, April 6 at 2207 tune-in via Buenos
Aires remote, S8 phone tones SFX from LRA36 in contact info, ID,
regular Saturday broadcast. Seems like another chaotic, soon unheard
and 2224 check definitely off, just S3/S5 noise level. Still nothing
audible at 2300, but a JBV trace on the waterfall! That SDR must have
failed, since it is audible when I move to Mendoza tho only S3/S4,
Spanish too weak for easy listening. And after 2300 there is some ACI
from that ChiCom on 15480. Before 2335, no LRA36 detectable there
either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5800, April 6 at 0630, pulse jamming against nothing, since
WRMI ruined the frequency by putting some exile programming on it
briefly months ago. Skedgrid now shows nothing needing to be jammed,
especially when WRMI is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALI. 5995, April 6 at 0632, no signal nor noise from ORTM direct.
Richard Langley says it`s also off at 1745 when hoping to record
weekly Saturday English. Wolfgang Bueschel suggests absence may be due
to Ramadan; well, it had been going and coming. Ramadan ends around
April 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.8 AM, April 6 at 1830, gospel music broadcaster
relayed by local CB pirate - only S8/S9, weaker than last time when it
was // 105.5 so I check that first, and it`s a match again, K288FX
translator which in turn is allegedly a relay of ``K-Love``, KYLV 88.9
OKC. No skip QRM for a change on this busy channel; nor do I hear any
10m ham beacons on a quick scan. MUF must be down, not even sporadic
E? 6m DXMAP shows 71 MHz somewhere in NAm, but scattered spots are
below 27 MHz. I routinely check 27185 almost every day. BTW the WTFDA
FM Database is offline, rather DreamHost displays: ``db.wtfda.org is
almost here! Upload your website to get started.`` Huh? Surely not my
website. Still sidetracking thus at 2340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, April 6 at 2206, VOT English, VG S9+25/35 into
UTwente. Lots of unID music. 2234-2236 `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic]
Products`, sounds like ``catsworth keeper`` something to do with
polishing oxcarts - another failure to communicate to an English
audience, not spelling out unfamiliar stuff. 2236 more music, really
nice with good modulation at least. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel.
2253 s/off as if the 1330-1430 on 13635. That`s multiply wrong,
outdated B23 emission. They should at least pretend this is the A24 at
1230 on 17620, as already accomplished some days. Something`s always
awry at Ankara. IS played one sesquitime and chopoff at 2254.8*, no
finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2237 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday April 6 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+25/35 direct.
Also confirmed UT Saturday April 6 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, S9/+10 into
NH SDR. 0429 to strange bit of music, unseems religious to off at
0430.8* without outro ID or any s/off announcement. I am pleased about
how reliably and precisely WOR has been aired each week.
Also confirmed Saturday April 6 at 1456 the now 1430 on SW Radio,
Germany, 6160.000, S9+5 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Saturday April 6 the now 1600 on WRN North America
webcast.
Also confirmed Saturday April 6 at 1732 the now 1730 on SW Radio,
Germany, 6160.000 S9/+15 and a few words behind on 3975.000, S9+5,
both into UTwente. Next:
Also confirmed Saturday April 6 from 1938 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
Wentzville MO, S9+18 into nearby Warrenton SDR.
Also confirmed Saturday April 6 until 1959 the 1930s on WRMI stream,
WRN North America stream; and from 2000 on WRN Europe stream. Next:
