Something`s always wrong at RHC. Instead, weak S6/S8 conversation in American English, so it must be CRI -- yes, `Beijing Hour`, scheduled 1200-1400 via Kunming. Still Commies but not vs other Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Fri Apr 15 at 1530, Greek talk dominates into UTwente, while CNR13 pop music dominates into Perth SDR. 1538, ERT plays Dean Martin`s ``That`s Amore``; why? Anyway a fine old Italianate tune. At 1700 timesignal from China as Greece goes off, as Uighur service continues with CNR theme ID and more music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [and non]. 7290, Fri Apr 15 at 1759, UTwente gets music and 1800, 5+1 timesignal and CNR, but no IRRS. Third Friday is an off-week for WORLD OF RADIO at 1815 and everything else normally on IRRS this hour via Bulgaria. Then via Noale SDR near Villa Estense I check 918 and 1323 kHz at 1803. Unlike last week, 918 is off again. 1323 does have rock music, marred by local noise spans on and off every minute; over lite CCI presumably Romania in German; 1807 Radio City ID and DJ in English, I think, but hard to understand. By 1812 recheck, 7290 is now on with same Radio City music. Neither now nor earlier is 2 x 7290 = 14580 audible into UTwente, just a big ute warble on the upper side. And so it goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 15 at 1503, Voice of Martyrs - Korea with TV preacher lecturing as if to children, taking The Trinity as a given in total self-assuredness, S9+10/20 into Perth, better than Kuwait or UTwente gets the secred site; 1525 fading down to S6/S9, 1529 wrapping up with email and off. Soon replaced by *1530 Vatican Radio in Arabic, much stronger S9/+15 into Utwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday April 15 at 2200, token English from REE, VG into Maryland SDR, news first from Justin Coe; then Amy Egan with feature about Easter music in Spain; 2214 finally starts playing `Madruga`, a dirgey march for ``Holy Week`` in Seville. Here`s a look at Justin & Amy along with the podcast where she was introduced: https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/emision-en-ingles/english-language-broadcast-panorama-07-01-21/5754541/ See also TURKEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, April 15 at 2200, Voice of T?rkiye opening English, VG S9+20/25 strength into UTwente, first with transmission sked. On M/W/F I usually check both this and SPAIN q.v. for English to us. Aside from whether Spain`s subject may be of interest, it`s no contest to choose the pleasant voice of Justin Coe in perfect English, over the T?rkiguy trying to be understood through the lo-fi overmodulation and hum. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler. I leave it on in the background and hear the beautiful IS loop already running by 2250; chops off at 2354.6* before it`s about to switch from English postlude to German pr?lude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 15 at 0501-0506, YP1 via WRWI with English `Ukraine: Security Issue` this time voiced by the guy who is not in so big a hurry. Of course if they only get 5 minutes for English, you can hardly blame them. I happen to recheck 7730 at 0629 direct and surprised to hear the Ukrainian national anthem, before it`s chopped off at 0629.5 for canned WRMI ID, 0630 into TOMBS. The question is, what was airing between 0600 and 0629 after the UR1 hour? It had been R. Tirana, Albania relay, but on April 13, Ivo Ivanov said Radio for Peace International aired instead in Russian and English. However, this may be a weekly rather than daily broadcast? 1386 Lithuania relay of YP1 English news reconfirmed at 0001 UT April 16, VG into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2133 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard?s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: World of Radio #2133, confirmed, below with Details: WRMI: 9395, 9455, slight QRN, 9455, 0033, 0040 (45433), 9395, 0043 (45433), 9455, 0043, 0057 (45433), 0059, April 14 UTC 2022 [Thu] 9395, 0131, 0157 (45433), 0159, April 14 UTC 2022 [Thu] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` WORLD OF RADIO 2134 monitoring: confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday April 15 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850, S9+30 to Missouri SDR; 7730, S9+25/35 to Maryland SDR. 0330 on WRMI-2 5985 at 222 degrees continues to show on the skedgrid for blue System D, daily with WOR on Fridays, yet 5985 has not been confirmed on air for a few weeks. Also claims to run Eslovaquia at 0400, unheard either. Jeff has not explained what`s going on here, so I am obliged to keep checking. In fact, into various N American and Caribbean area remotes, there *is* a JBA carrier on 5985, enough for Kiwis SAM to lock onto it, but no modulation audible. If not WRMI, what could it be? Aoki and EiBi do not account for anything else at this hour. HFCC has a totally imaginary Indonesian entry which even if it existed would not be propagating from mid-day over there. However, once before I could barely recognize my voice during this span, as if WRMI were on a few watts of exciter only. Maybe that is still the case without or with any identifiable modulation? Another remote possibility: a leapfrog mixing product; but does not compute as combination of any strong 49m Cuban or US fundamentals. WOR 2134 confirmed Friday April 15 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, at least no jamming at this hour, but JBA S3-S5 direct in degraded propagation. WWV reports at 1500: ``# Geophysical Alert Message Solar-terrestrial indices for 14 April follow. Solar flux 103 and estimated planetary A-index 38. The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 15 April was 3. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G2 level occurred.

How can Allan Weiner, a Man Of Science, countenance this? Free Speech, of course. Free to make absolute fools of themselves as long as they paid for it. And try to spread their nonsense. How about the permanent damage such nonsense could do to the lives of their gullible listener victims? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. In memory of John Henry Carver, Jr., mid-north Indiana, who so faithfully filed with us his summaries of `AAAWWW` on WBCQ, and died April 8 as previously reported. There was no mention of him on this week`s program, which I monitored on webcast of (7490v) starting at 0000 UT Saturday April 16: Skipping the usual mike-fiddling and titillation, discussing a QSL card from a listener with view of Grand Canyon, and lauds the program, if I could only read my scribble of the exact words. They plug Easter, etc., with the usual post-Jewish piety. Backs Elon Musk to take over Twitter --- and how about a few of his billions to prop up all US SW stations? Somehow blames the ``mistake`` of electing Biden President for Putin making war. Isn`t T**** still saying that attacking Ukraine was a smart thing to do?? The Lord could put a stop to all of that immediately if persuaded by enough praying. 0034 skims thru some Free Radio Weekly items just published, including YHWH on 7475. 0038 reads Radio World follow-up, reader responses to Robinson & Perron`s article that SW is kaput.

The System D program grid however shows the 7780 airing as 0030 UT Sat. This proves to be correct as I check that while listening to WBCQ into the other ear. The wrong time on FB has not been corrected! We now know that the word Radio is pronounced as in Spanish, the word Free as in English; and the rest in Spanish; why not Libre? A perfectly good Spanish word. Opens with some jaunty, non-LA theme music. Into TWR RGV SDR on 7780 it`s S8/S9+5. Editorial de la semana is about guerra in Ucrania. As implied in their publicity, anti-Commie and LA fellow travelers.
