Re: ORTM --- Glenn, I believe Mali remains active, provisionally. Big roaring noise blob on 5995 at 0728Z today, 8 April. At precisely 0800, it appeared on 9635, so clearly the same transmitter. Terry Krueger, FL (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935.000, April 8 at 1605, Qur`an, S9+20 into UTwente but undermodulated and with heavy ACI from S9+30 11940, CRI English via Kashi, std. denunciation, this hour only. By 1642, Arabic talk. LSB tuning of 11935 helps very little. Republic of Yemen Radio relay is still going, tho some have questioned whether any SA SW transmitters be on the air. 11940 off at 1657* and 11935 is still on but no modulation; 1658 bits of mod cutting on and off, 1659 Arabic stays on, and level improves, but no ToH ID heard. 1700 now there is ChiCom splattering from 11925 starting with timesignal. Aoki says CNR1 via Lingshi already on since 1200. 1730 mostly in clear with declamatory speech by one voice, occasional interruptions by a calmer voice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sunday April 7 at 2200, VOT English is not off the air, VG S9+50 into UTwente, VG modulation, like a local. I start to pay attention after the news, TRT World promo, `Weekly Analysis` about the March 21 local elexions, how different parties fared, but doesn`t mean much to me without further background knowledge; bottom line: good news or bad for RTE? They don`t say. 2225 music. 2229 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2230 `Letterbox`, but first usual host talks about his Ramadan: has lost 6 kg, was difficult at first. He also had to abstain from smoking and drinking Turkish coffee thrice a day. Almost over with Eid on Wednesday. Letters: from India wanting souvenir stuff, but sorry, only postal QSLs; reads report including program details from whenever, he should skip over now; apparently followed by another from same guy; one from England; Young Stars Radio Club in India. And from Ricky Hein - seems he has received and emailed reply to ten or fifteen of the same request asking for English schedule. Is he not getting them?? Exasperated, wants his postal address [from South Dakota]. 2245 time`s up, music. But outro for L`box only after the song at 2249. Then more music. 2253 s/off by the badax for the 1230 on 17620 only. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2254 IS for a sesquiminute and off 2255.5*. No ChiCom genocidal understation any more like on ex-5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 400 MCW kHz, April 8 at 0704, AHQ, ND beacon at Wahoo, Nebraska, not new but seldom heard. The LW line noise level has abated somewhat, as I also hear some other peripheral regulars, SW, AM, MA, FBY, IC and more. Also 407, HRU in KS, but just as clearly tuned to 404 USB. The OG&E guys visited again about 1545 UT April 8. They have not been able to locate source of noise, in fact say it`s widespread over entire Garfield County! We agree that it has abated a lot on MW, as I set the DX-398 on 1100 kHz - no longer any noise thereunto, no matter how rotated. They have done nothing, so it could just as easily resurge, whereupon I will notify them. I still hear considerable noise on LW via the 100-foot longwire, and on MW. Hope not enough to block any imminent Eclipse MW DX, perhaps from Texas or Louisiana beyond the totality path (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2237 monitoring: confirmed Sunday April 7 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.996 kHz, not on 207 or 918, S9+12/17 into nearby Noale SDR. UTwente agrees on the exact frequency, but much poorer now, too dusky? S8/S9 and with ACI. Also confirmed Sunday April 7 from 2131.2 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.000, S9/+5 into UTwente but some dittering circa 6164; a word or two behind on // 3975.002, S9+10. Also confirmed UT Monday April 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, Louisiana & Durango2 SDRs offline, so I try Athens GA: S8/9+10; also S7/S8 roughly off the back into UTwente.

(7490v), Sun Apr 7 at 2256 UT, checking WBCQ stream as soon as Turkey is off: some classical music! Handel?, segu? to `Easter Parade` song same as last week. And same confused announcement by YL, not Angela: Beginnning April 7, this 7-8 pm Sunday hour just heard is available airtime, stay tuned for the Plain Old Doug show at 9 pm Eastern. Well, 22-23 UT is 7-8 pm ADT not EDT! Guess what: website program guide still shows FTIOM/UBMP and two others at 22-23 and no sign of PODs later, or anywhen. Furthermore all the sked times are wrong labeled ``EST`` even tho they are four hours behind UTC, i.e. EDT. I continued listening past 23 to `Le Show`, as Harry is rerunning segments while he is busy making one more movie, but webcast, during last dekaminute keeps dropping off and back on as my Winamp goes wild (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. ``Squeal on WWCR --- probably an easy fix. Probably a bad capacitor in the exciter. The capacitors are used to prevent crosstalk from occurring on the DC bus. The DC bus usually feeds several circuits and these signals are getting mixed and that is what you're hearing. Will only worsen over time. Probably just a 50 cent capacitor. Transmitter would have to be shut down and exciter disassembled. They probably don't have a component level technician there that can do the work. And the manufacturer wants an arm and a leg to do a board swap! So that's why we're hearing a squeal.

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 28425 USB, April 8 at 2227, HI8AT making quick yet friendly contacts; some guys do that even if no contest.

However, further tuning on R75 found quite sufficient signals on the other three, 15390 at S9+10; 15520 at S9+10/20; 17815 at S9+10/20; 17855 at S9+20/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 8 at 2215, no signal direct from VOT English. 2230 I thought it had come on, rather bleed from 11780 Brasil in bandwidth too wide.

This is very close to local mean noon here which is always 1832 UT: With city-to-city distances, approx., not site to receiver. Mainly on the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398, internal ferrite antenna only, on declining battery power and not especially sensitive. >From just outside the house facing south. But first: 1200 at 1832 on the R75 with N/S shortwire, JBA carrier, maybe two of them. WOAI? next closest is 1 kW KYOO in Bolivar MO; bigsigs in IL & ND unlikely. 1200 at 1848 faded up to VG level, 1849 network eclipse coverage from east coast, recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_WOAI_1200_20240408_1849.mp3 Got to be 50 kW WOAI San Antonio. Gone by 1905 check. 777 km/485 stmi 1560 at 1833, fringe KEBC, 1 kW Del City = OKC has some CCI. There are several unexpected little stations in KS, MO and TX, but 46 kW KGOW Bellaire [Houston] TX is my prime target, as its Vietnamese will be unmistakable and unique. Despite its patterns, easily heard here at night. Keeps growing past 1837, and by 1843 during totality in SE OK, it`s loud and clear in VV, overcoming KEBC, recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KGOW_1560_20240408_1843.mp3 Still in at 1855, another clip with some singing: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KGOW_1560_20240408_1855.mp3 1901 still dominant but declining. 1908 gone. 777 km/483 stmi 1620 at 1845, talk station mentions Texas; nothing earlier. Got to be 10 kW WTAW College Station. Not often heard here even at night. 658 km/409 stmi 1700 at 1845, SAH between two carriers; 1858 San Antonio ad, AC 210; 1859 fade before ID! Trouble is, neither TX is near San Antonio: Brownsville and Richardson. NRC AM Log shows 5 kW KKLF Metroplex is Spanish, Jalape?o Radio; still? But address in Corpus Christi, so multi-station group? If it`s got to be English, that leaves much further KVNS Brownsville, 8.8 kW listed as Fox Sports. Maybe both unless Des Moines snuck in. Richardson: 395 km/246 stmi; Brownsville: 1167 km/725 stmi 1530 at 1846, baseball talk in Spanish. Maybe just KXTD Wagoner/Tulsa OK, but SS in TX are 50 KW KGBT Harlingen. More likely is the only other TX, KZNX Creedmoor, 10 kW Spanish; and despite address way out in El Paso, is really just south of Austin in the Eclipse zone. 701 km/436 stmi. Recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_KZNX_1530_20240408_1846.mp3 1480 at 1847, Spanish in mix, overcoming KQAM Wichita. Only SS in TX is 5 kW KLVL Pasadena [Houston]. 785 km/488 stmi 1120 at 1850, religion in English vs Spanish from KETU Catoosa [Tulsa]. Only TX on 1120 is religious 5.6 kW KTXW Manor [Austin], separable. 674 km/419 mi 1110 at 1850, mixture in English. Primary is 50 kW KVTT Mineral Wells [Plano, Metroplex] listed Asian format. Only other TX is 5 kW KTEK Alvin [Houston], religious. 813 km/505 stmi. KFAB Omaha can have remnant daytime signal, doubtful now. 990 at 1851, Spanish religion, surely 7 kW KFCD Farmersville [Dallas]. Not trans- but within Totality; more signal than should be in daytime. 385 km/239 stmi 870 at 1852, SAH of about 7 Hz looping SE. Hoping for WWL! The only TX is 1 kW KFJZ Fort Worth. They fit! MWoffsets in 2023 and 2024 measurements has WWL on 869.9928 and KFJZ on 869.9991, i.e. 6.3 Hz. My count-the-fades-per-second method was a tossup between 6 and 7. Gone by 1905 check. WWL: 1019 km/633 stmi. Recorded: https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_WWL_KFJZ_870_20240408_1852.mp3 1710 at 1857, steady open carrier, local? Not noticed before, maybe a TIS or Talking House. 1680 at 1900, gospel/CW music loops NW/SE. Got to be 10 kW KRJO Monroe LA. 683 km/424 stmi 1510 at 1902, traffic and WLAC IDs with 98.3, Nashville! Unexpected, way off the angle expected for trans-Eclipse propagation to here. 995 km/618 stmi 1530 at 1903, English ads from ENE, 1905 ``ESPN 1530`` so WCKY Cincinnati/KY, likewise! 1212 km/753 stmi. These two were also reported during the TSE from east/south of them. Also checked 600 several times, clear frequency locally, for 5 kW KTBB Tyler TX, but no sign of it. Of course highband worx much better. I also looked for KBEL 1240 in Idabel OK where there were loads of visitors in OK`s small Totality corner, not really expecting to hear my most distant 240-mile Okie never logged, and did not: just the usual fringemix of Elk City and Wichita. Since Allan Weiner made such a big deal of the TSE, I thought there might be live coverage on WBCQ. But after 1900, 7490 & 6160 webcasts were ordinary stuff, gospel huxter and music. Meanwhile, visual DX: glimpsed the eclipse several times thru ISO glasses, which sure don`t want to fit inside, or outside my spectacles. https://www.w4uvh.net/Eclipse_at_Enid_thru_cheap_filter_20240408.jpg There were some fleeting clouds but mostly clear. Not enough leaves on the trees yet for multiple crescent projexions; could see some thru pinholes. We witnessed the 2017 TSE in Nebraska, so decided to avoid the trouble, crowds and expense this decade, but enjoy it from home. Also noted local F temps: at 1814, 70.6. At 1840 as max begins, dropped to 65.3. Minimum 63.9 a few minutes later. After 1900 soon back up to 71 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2237 monitoring: confirmed Monday April 8 at 1954 the 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S9+15 into UTwente; and a couple words behind on 3975.002, S9+5. Both close down at 2000* contrary to schedule. Storms? I had been hearing lightning crashes, and there was Blitz over the BeNeFra, but nowhere over Germany. Opened up 6159.929 for JBA WBCQ. Both still off at 2130. Confirmed UT Tuesday April 9 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, still there, I`ll take it, despite being replaced on the skedgrid by Wavescan. But now we are in limbo? Still no Louisiana or Durango2 kiwis, so I pick an Athens GA: one of them has overload on 7775 sounds like WLCR 9330! with the phony Brit accent. The other Athens is clear for a fair WOR signal. Next: 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 [new] 1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2236][SW suspended but still streamed?] 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160 As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated.

Mart?, 3 x 11930 where it`s S9+20/30. Maybe with a big summer sporadic E opening I can get more than that. Nothing on 23860 = x 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555 USB, April 8 at 2223, WJHR gospel huxter overtime, S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9475, April 8, 2240-2300, WTWW on with bigsig. Checking since George McClintock called after 2200 saying it`s running 75 kW; I guess with A.W.R. programming, but dumps off the air and back on several times. Can`t keep it on or deliberately testing? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0428 UT April 9 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 256, Issue 9 ********************************************
