** IRAN [non]. 12035.000, June 23 at 2213 direct, S8/S9 ME music, soon
mention Farda and Iran. Much stronger than neighbor 12050 WEWN. At
2231 into Maryland SDR, VG S7/S9 with music, not news on the hour - of
course, it is the nightmiddle there. Chopoff at 2259.7* during music.
Yes, as now scheduled via Woofferton, per HFCC 1900-2300, 250 kW 90
degrees due east, so we are not directly off the back. 12035 is also
via DHA, UAE site at 04-07 & 13-17 with 250 kW at 35 degrees from
there.
Kuwait should have been the preferred SW site if Trump had not forced
it to close - almost? Monthly update from Association for
International Broadcasting June 23: ``Meanwhile there's news about
transmitting stations owned by the US Agency for Global Media. The
relay station in Kuwait that was closed down in early June has been
reactivated to allow 15 minutes of VoA Persian to be broadcast
to Iran and neighbouring countries. It is unclear who is operating the
station as the AIB understands a "manager" had been sent to Kuwait
(presumably from Washington DC) to close the operation.``
To which I replied: ``15 minutes? Why bother? Time and frequency?
source? Not in HFCC as of June 23. Of course we know that R Farda is
back on air 24h via UAE, Woofferton. From what studio, Washington,
Prague, or ??``
Full 24h schedule registered with HFCC as of June 20, first reported
by Jean-Michel Aubier. These are all routed thru Encompass. Here it is
in time order:
2300-0400 9620 (WOF)
0400-0700 12035 (DHA)
0700-1000 13710 (DHA)
1000-1300 15720 (DHA)
1300-1700 12035 (DHA)
1700-1900 9450 (DHA)
1900-2300 12035 (WOF)
9620, June 24 at 0226, VG S9+10 direct, folk song in English,
``Farewell, Angelina``, evidently by Joan Baez; radiofarda.com ID,
more music. 0230 themes and presumed news, 0235 back to music. Website
easily converts to English, but nothing there about any SW
frequencies. BTW, Farda means tomorrow, very similar to the #1 nuclear
site bombed, but I guess coincidental (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500 & 17715 S9+20/30, 15520 S9/+10, 15390 S9 vs S8
noiselevel direct, Mon June 23 at 2200, token English from REE/SNR,
preview topic the ``evolution`` of Madrid over 3 decades, interview a
non-native who feels at home there. 2201 token news, only 2 brief
items about US attacking Iran Sat, Iran promises revenge, clip of
Drumpf; Spain`s agreement with NATO to remain in good standing despite
refusing to spend 5% of GDP on defense, now may set its own level. NO
mention of Iran attempting to bomb US base on Qatar which was several
hours ago, so this is olds, not news. 2204 already into Madrid
interview (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.020, June 23 at 2158 past 2200, no signal from VOT
English direct; something`s always erroneous at Emirler. But on by
recheck 2212, S9+10/20 in music. At 2239 into UTwente when measured,
S9+30/40. Not retune until 2254 when IS is already playing. 2256
restart IS with German IDs: here we go again, immer etwas, but chopoff
at 2259.6* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2300 monitoring: confirmed Monday
June 23 at 1938 the 1931 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.000+ S9/+15 and
3975.002- S9/+10. Next:

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702
One may also contribute via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5129.9, June 24 at 0126 JBA signal vs HSNL must be WBCQ,
which per own websked is not on the air at all on UT Tuesday!! At 0158
I check Maryland SDR, and hear Hal Turner wrapping up with a
gold/silver commercial, whilst 6160- is off the air, but // 7490-. But
by 0200, 5130- is playing the generic WBCQ s/off. Evidently Turner has
been moved from 6160 to 5130. Why doesn`t the sked show this
correctly? Not that I care to hear him anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 7505, 9275, 5085, June 24 at 0130, these stations are NOT on
the air when they are scheduled to be: WRNO, WMLK, WTWW (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9930, June 24 at 0128, TOMBS on WTWW is S9+40/50 direct,
with JBA spur parasites plus/minus about 12.8 instead of 12.9 kHz,
i.e. 9917.2 & 9942.8; but no splatter despite huge signal on
fundamental. Continuing bandscan, by 0132 I find 5920 is on instead of
9930: is 0130 now the nominal QSY time? How old is this nonsense from
Brother Hystairical? He happened to mention ``today, 7/31/08`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA [non]. Re: ``"I recorded the whole 30-minute version
using the U. Twente SDR receiver with good quality but it might take
me awhile to do a formal archiving. I’ll see if I can put it somewhere
temporarily tomorrow and then share the link."
Here you go:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lmlj_G7X-VwmW1O7_YGt2oNrSgGGLto5/view?usp=sharing
A slightly different version for The Documentary Podcast. So, we have
three versions: the SW version transmitted to Antarctica, the version
that went out earlier on the BBC WS streams, and the podcast
version.
By the way, this year's program has special significance for us at the
University of New Brunswick, as one of my colleagues participated in
the Canadian science expedition to Antarctica on HMCS Mary Brooke
earlier this year and did some unprecedented mapping of part of the
ocean floor down there. He also visited Rothera.

** BRAZIL. 11748.9, June 23 at 0205, JBA carrier in typical
offfrequenciness of R. Voz Missionária (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9580, June 23 at 0200, one pip and CRI relay presumed
Cantonese, very suptorted so my 100% uncomprehension was not affected.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. The ChiCom obviously don`t care
how negatively this reflect upon them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH. 13649.93, June 23 at 1453, JBA carrier. Suspected UAE
site in characteristic offfrequenciness, with WRN Russian relays, but
that does not start until 1700. Closest to this time is VOK/KCBS until
1450 per Aoki & EiBi, certainly another one with such capability
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 760.13, June 23 at 0227, that het upon WJR again, must be
XEDGO Durango2 as in my June 16 log, q.v. Altho it was known for some
time, I had not noticed it before then (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6849.95 AM, June 23 at 0210, pirate music S9+10 in
HSNL, OSOB. These a few minutes later say 6850 with Liquid Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,146870.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2300 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday June 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/35 into S Texas SDR, with
HSNL from W Texas.
Also confirmed UT Monday June 23 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast only, as
WBCQ 5130 -83 Hz = 5129.917 at S9+5 into NH SDR is signing off.
Next:
1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;

** U S A. 5830/6050, June 23 at 0213-0218, rough extent of splatter
out of WTWW 5920, during TOMBS, pinned on that rather than 5850 or
5890, by matching modulation peaks on a second receiver; takes some
doing vs high storm noise level out of west Texas, and/or Nebraska,
Minnesota. Worst of course closest to 5920. First peak noticed
5955-5965 area, then 5975-5990, trailing off above 6000, and then
traced downward to 5855 and the other side of WRMI 5850 to 5830 or so.
QRMed/blocked by non-spur signals such as 5850, 5890, 5935, without
which and HSNL it would probably be audible continually.
The other WTWW not on 5085 tonight, and have not noticed it on for
several nights now. No word yet from George about what may be the
latest problem with that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15555 USB, June 23 at 1450, JBA talk in deceased
gospelhuxter style, and not on LSB, so WJHR Milton FL. I was about to
wonder if it were silent as not heard for a week or two in random
daytime bandscans, at 1449 about to conclude that, until straining to
hear it now. Can be much stronger if it get a sporadic E boost, which
one would expect more often this time of year. Minimum legal power is
50 kW, but it`s always been much less from a glorified ham rig. WRTH
2025 page 596 says: ``1 x 0.25 kW (run at 1 kW PEP)`` How does owner
George Scott Mock get away with that? ``Plans`` a 50 kW unit? Not in
the WOR Hitlist but WRTH says website is:
https://mytgibc.com/Missions.php i.e. ``True Gospel Independent
Baptist Church``:
``WJHR Radio is a short wave radio station that broadcasts the gospel
of Jesus Christ around the world. The station has received letters
from Russia, Italy, Germany and South America to just name a few. WJHR
broadcasts nothing but preaching 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The
station was built and is maintained by Brother Scott Mock who is a
faithful member of True Gospel Baptist for many years. If you would
like to support or desire more information you can contact Brother
Mock through the church or at the radio stations email address: WJHR@
usa.com`` - I don`t think it`s ever been 24/7! Aoki shows
1400-2200, EiBi 1358-2200. That website does not explain that WJHR is
a memorial to John Hill, who I think is the only preacher ever heard
on WJHR.
On Dec 31, *2008*, Benn Kobb reported to us:
``The applicant doing business as Hill Radio International is an
individual, Scott Mock, WB4BFO, who plans to broadcast from his
Milton, FL home.
He proposes to use a custom-built transmitter and a four-element
cubical quad antenna at 90 feet AGL. He told me that this
station, which he hopes to name WJHR, will broadcast exclusively
in single sideband.
Thus, to the FCC application question of "rated unmodulated
carrier power output", he answered "Zero". The stated emission
type is B8E.
He conceded that SSB broadcasting is unusual, but feels that
there are enough SSB-capable receivers now and that his content
will be compelling.
He said the station would be a commercial operation, but would be
funded mostly by "contributions from churches that support our
beliefs." The programming will come from a 40-year collection of
recordings made at Smyrna Baptist Church in Pensacola FL.
You will recall that this church received its own construction
permit for an HF station one year ago. There are several months
left before that CP expires, but it appears that it will not be
built and that WJHR is a new version of that project.
In the license application, where the applicant must outline his
"program plans and policies", Mr. Mock simply referred the FCC to
that earlier Smyrna file "to avoid duplication." Benn``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1460, June 23 at 0223, South Asian singing atop the pile
right now; equal on the N/S and E/W antenna implying it is not due any
of the cardinal direxions. NRC AM Log shows the only one with such
``Asian`` format is KBRZ Missouri City/Houston TX, U1 5000/125 from
the SSE; as this is not Vietnamese = KCLE Burleson/Cleburne TX and
besides was silent as of 4/24. Of the 62 UStations on this busy
`regional` channel, only one other is ``ethnic``, WBMS Brockton MA, 30
watts - I think not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Date and time omitted from this: 0153 UT June 22: 6861
approx., repetitive musicalish notes, no carrier, can`t get a fix to
resolve it in USB or LSB; pirate? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11580/11585, June 23 at 0201 as I bandscan, encounter a
very strong tone/carrier sweeping in this approx. range, then gone.
What? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA [non]. In the WOR iog, very useful replies to questions
raised in my previous report: The remote in the middle of the ocean
between South Africa and Antarctica: OOOPS, Kiwi map put it at
latitude south instead of north! From Alexander Miatlikov, Ukraine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niendorf_an_der_Stecknitz
``Niendorf an der Stecknitz is a municipality in the district of
Lauenburg, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Coordinates: 53°35′N
10°36′E``
``I think this receiver is in Germany (Niendorf an der Stecknitz), but
registered with "S" rather than "N" in its coordinates. It could be on
a boat I supposed, but I suspect administator finger trouble. Cheers,
Chris`` Mackerell, NZ.

** TURKEY. 9875.019-, Sunday June 22 at 2049, VOT English S9+20/30
backwards into UTwente, starting `Letterbox` after music break. Cemre
says toward end of the month the QSL dept. compiles email reports and
forwards them to her for show. That could explain why so much of the
correspondence is from QSL-seekers. 1) Bulgaria. 2) Annan? Mohand?
India, pres. of an SWL club since 1990y with 338 members worldwide.
Will have a contest about VOT, asking several questions. She answers
some of them already, such as the English service gets about 100
emails per month. 2) Andre, Russia. Letters, I guess meaning postal as
distinct from e: 3) China, two from same. 4) India? SWL club. 5)
Colorado. 6) Sichuan, China. 7) last: Malaysia, QSL for Spanish.
Closing and 2106 theme, tune-out. I have a very hard time copying
names, especially with some distortion as received by UTwente (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re previous report: ``VOSR, at 2300 on WRMI 15770, is for
Euro listeners; the guy hosting the show is known as WaveCrest Guy on
YouTube, with monitoring samples from various receivers and with
different antennas. Another great Hawaii DXer, following the lead of
such notables as Dale Park from the 80s, and Dr Richard E Wood. It's a
great spot for trans-Pacific SW and MW, if you have the right
equipment for the task. Joe Hanlon, NJ`` - so his real identity

** ANTARCTICA [non]. Midwinter special from BBCWS, June 21 at 2130:
did not expect it to be listenable direct, way offbeam on all three
frequencies, so fished around various SDRs closer to the target.
Falklands offline. Best Goiânia, also Brasília.
Kiwi map shows one in the middle of ocean between RSA and Antarctica,
but nothing about where it is except for coördinates. Does it have to
be on any land? Here is how it`s labeled: Niendorf a.d.St. {whatever
that mean} | Grid JO53HO21, ASL 72m, [map], SNR 29/25 dB Antenna:
MiniWhip. The map leads to: 53-35-19.9S, 10-36-02.8E but still no
name, and no land but the pin. Looks like closest known island. but
not close enough, is extremely remote Bouvet, 54-42S, 03-36E. At first
check 2127 it`s got something weak on 5960, nothing on 12065 or
9575.
At 2130, Brasília 12065 at S3/S6, as programmme opens about S Georgia.
At 2135 I check direct: JBA carriers only on 9575, 12065. At 2139 I`m
listening via Goiânia, 9575 S6/S8 is best of bunch but noisy. I`m just
going to listen to it on web later. 2156 final check: about S Georgia,
`Fisherman Blues` by The Waterboys -- lots of music but only snippets
in limited time, and mention Bird/Byrd Island. Says 27 nations are
represented, not just Britain, and also greets us listeners elsewhere.
Hostess is Cerys pronounced Kerys, Matthews, and 9575 off promptly by
2200.
See my previous report for web linx. Now the ``OK`` one merely leads
to the blocked one! Can anyone suggest another recording of the whole
show? Off SW reception if necessary, but someone could download the
studio file where it is available, and share it with us. Or is it
``available`` only in Antarctica? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.95 AM, June 22 at 0151, JBA music direct from
some pirate. Several logs here at earlier hours, as ION Radio, 6925,
but the last one at 0146, ``S5 with no hint of audio, frequency seems
more centered on 6924.940``:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,146813.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5890, June 22 at 0628, WWCR with Brother
Scare. Normally I tune across these hurriedly like the plague, but he
was exulting in being widely heard from a European station on 1631
kHz, as he mentioned repeatedly. He got DX reports on that from as far
as Brasil, Iran -- without aid of a remote? Who knows. Of course this
was many years ago, but when, and what? In the x-band that should be a
pirate. Searching that number in my archive and at HFUnderground gets
far too many hits, most of them of course a time rather than frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2300 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
June 21 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, VG S9+5/15 into UTwente where it`s
aimed.
Also confirmed UT Sunday June 22 from 0329 the 0315v on WA0RCR, 1860
AM, S7/9+5 into N9AZZ IL remote.
Also confirmed Sunday June 22 at 1902 the 1900 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.994+, S9 but noisy into one of the Parma SDRs, just noise
at the other; and JBA at UTwente where measured. Next:

** U S A. 15770, Sat June 21 at 2300, WRMI via UTwente with `VOSR
International`, newish DX program, immediately following WOR. Who is
this guy? Maybe he gave his name once; if so, I missed it, and can`t
find it anywhere on website vosrinternational.com Location shown as
Moloka`i, and he talked about driving across Kaua`i to visit WWVH. At
least first semihour is a monolog, about scheduling, what he wants to
do, etc. This is apparently a new broadcast. He says on 9455 has moved
an hour earlier at 0300 instead of 0400. WRMI sked shows that is UT
Saturdays, and there is another one? Fridays at 2300 on 5010. The
15770 is new once a month with repeats between; the 9455 one is
alternate weeks - but still only repeats? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6861 approx., repetitive musicalish notes, no carrier,
can`t get a fix to resolve it in USB or LSB; pirate? (Glenn Hauser,

** ANTARCTICA [non]. Reminder that BBCWS annual mid-winter special to
the British Antarctic Survey is June 21 at 2130-2159 UT on 5960 UAE,
9575 Ascension, 12065 -not 13810 which was tested a week ago,
Woofferton. Original publicity gave the time as 1832 ``local`` - that
is apparently really 1832 UT, but NO English SW frequencies are
regularly scheduled at that time per HFCC - only 17830 Ascension --
but M-F only! Indeed, no 17830 signal into various remotes at 1851 Sat
June 21. Maybe streamed, DAB. And HFCC shows except for this one
occasion there are *no* BBCWS English SW frequencies on air between
2000 and 2200. No doubt we can hear it on demand later as well as
previous ones on the programmme website. Or not: this site says ``this
content is not available in your location``

But this one looks OK:

radio stations. Coverage map shows site is axually closer to Tulsa
than Henryetta, how fortunate: in the NW corner of Okmulgee county.
Both H and T are of course well within the `local` circle. Fringe

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs June 20 at 2348+ into NH SDR:
3265 off. 5130 -84 Hz = 5129.916 open carrier. 6160 -73 Hz = 6159.927
also OC. 7490 -77 Hz = 7489.923, S8/S9 FKB. 9330 WLC PP S7/9. At 2355,
both 5130 & 6160 start IS & ID loop, slightly out of sync. 0000 June
21, 5130 announces AAAWWW is a repeat of April 11, 2025, and it
continues // 7490 & 9330. Never mind: I logged it in detail on that
date. As usual, 6160 with some other program on its now very curtailed
schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1320 kHz, June 21 at 0645 UT, KLWN ID in passing at tune-in.
That`s U1 500/250 in Lawrence KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 101.7, June 21 at 1627 UT, mono and very undermodulated talk
about SCOTUS ruling on Trans, 1637 after break as `Washington Watch`,
some gospel huxter network. KREJ Medicine Lodge KS. Sibling station to
91.5.
91.5, June 21 at 1630 UT, gospel rock in mono, somewhat undermodulated
but better than 101.7 sibling station, q.v. Now 91.5 is Smile FM out
of Michigan. KSNS Medicine Lodge KS. None of this updated info yet in
WTFDA FM DB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1550.58, June 21 at 0643, JBA carrier hetting 1550s:
rather than the `usual` 1549.82 presumed XEREL, could still be there
inaudible right now. Nothing so far away in mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1560.11, June 21 at 0642, JBA carrier hetting 1560s such
as Vietnamese KGOW TX. Nothing that far away in mwoffsets (Glenn

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
== Commentary ==
This week, the 2300th edition of Glenn Hauser's World of Radio is
airing. This radio show is one of the best on shortwave radio today,
is always informative and interesting, and we're happily acknowledging
this milestone.
In the WBCQ archives, there is a cassette of two episodes of "World of
Radio Extra" that were aired on WBCQ in 1999.
https://archive.org/details/classic-wor
I don't think Glenn distributes his show to any stations via cassette
anymore (Larry Will, June 20, Free Radio Weekly) Correct; thank you,
Larry! (gh)
