Not much going on on 19m, 16m, but there is 15m still wide open to the Americas, with lots of #CQWPX activity 🐜 incl. #CQ9A - this actually on Madeira - booming in @ S9+5dB! #shortwave

13855 kHz: another hi-fi signal on #shortwave, this time must be Ifrikya FM 🇩🇿 except it's in Arabic #shortwave #A26

13570 kHz: this could be the best freq for Radio Marti this time... #shortwave #A26

11635 kHz: not good going with Voice of Korea, as I think ALL of their frequencies are marred with loud hum 🥴

No matter what, no matter where, it's humming: 9425, 9875, 11710, 11910, 13760...

On top of 12015 & 15245 missing altogether 🙃 #shortwave #NorthKorea #A26

11860 kHz: CLASH, Radio Japan Japanese to Southern Africa vs Radio Marti to Cuba 🥊

11860 via Yamata replaced 15135 via Issoudun

#shortwave #A26

12070 kHz: what a beautiful signal of Radio Farda via Woofferton🇬🇧 😍 loud, strong, and wide! Hi-Fi 😜 #shortwave #A26

9835 kHz: 🚨 TOTALLY NEW FREQUENCY FOR VOICE OF VIETNAM!!! 🚨

Replacing 9730 which struggled w/ CRI "Portuguese" at this hour for YEARS...

// 11885 #shortwave #A26

9820 kHz: talking in russian about wine degustations 🍷🍷

You never know what you're about to hear on #shortwave 😅 #A26

9500 kHz: Radio Romania International Romanian is here as an evening freq to Europe... once traditional, then moved all over the place to 19m. Last summer it was on 11975, and this one it was supposed to be the main freq, w/ 9500 alternate @ 18-20z only. #shortwave #A26

9379.912 AM: UNID female chanting in a Turkic language, possibly Central Asian 😮 then a brief OM announcement to YL & OM choir singing. WTF? #shortwave #A26

7910 kHz: NO V32 today!!! Only a 1kHz test tone #jammer 😵 QSYed? #shortwave #numberstation #Iran

7515 kHz: Tashkent relays of Radio Farda on top of the 41m band continue into #A26 season, currently here, facing massive Iranian Bubble Jammer.

Guess what's happening with another Farda not far from there, on 7460 via Kuwait?

NOTHING. It's clear XDDDDDD

#shortwave #IranWar

Farda Hunt!

Only found two: 7460, listed as via Kuwait, and 9360, apparently Tinang @ 1400-2400z (and Kuwait @ 00-14z), with Iranian Bubble Jammer on... 9365 🤦

5860 also on but still too weak for audio

Nothing on 12070, supposed to run @ 14-21z via DHA till 17z, then WOF #shortwave #IranWar #A26

15440 kHz: Chinese preacher (?), HFCC says it's KSDA, so Adventist World Radio Guam, 1400-1430z only.

BTW the station QRMing REE 15500 on 15505 is KSDA too, various broadcasts to Myanmar @ 1330-1500z #shortwave #A26

15500 & 15520 kHz: Radio Exterior de Espana sigining-on with lots of QRM on both freqs. 15515 has FEBC in Chinese, while 15505 had something until 1357z, w/ another carrier popping up a minute later!

Longer recording including news on latest Israeli airstrikes on #Iran #shortwave #A26

15400 kHz: Wavescan via Reach Beyond Australia, new freq in #A26 season. Fairly good in NE Poland #shortwave

11750 kHz: Akashvani in Pashto w/ contact info, on a new #A26 freq (ex-11810 in B25). Strong splatter de CNR2 on 11740. #shortwave

13760.44 kHz: Voice of Korea 🇰🇵 on a usual A-seasons freq to Europe, opening English, way off-freq and with loud hum 🥴 also QRM de something on 13755. // 15245 completely off! #shortwave #A26

17620 kHz: after a long, slowly-read news bulletin, Geoeconomics Diary starts on Voice of Turkiye English. I'd rather hear Letterbox, hope it'll be there today 🥴 #shortwave #A26

21550 & 21680 kHz: two RFI French signals in 13m, the latter an all-new freq replacing 21695 #shortwave #A26

Quick bandscan of the 16m band this hour, took a bit longer so I put it on YouTube🙂

Notice how Vatican Radio signals on 17520 & 17540 stonked? ✈️

Also, NHK Middle East emergency service this hr on 17895, clashing with... Iran International on 17900❗

#shortwave #A26

Both frequencies returned 3 minutes later, with some nice 80s (?) bops on 13635 🕺 #shortwave #A26

I couldn't upload it earlier but this 22m band scan at 0748z almost saw Voice of Turkiye Turkiyish to Europe finally find its way to 13635 kHz... except both 13635 and suspected Azeri on 13685 went off abruptly! #shortwave #A26

BTW if I recall correctly, this is the 1st Vatican special in Arabic on #shortwave since first missed on Christmas 2024!

But this time it involves 15595 & 17790 kHz, which are set for Oriental liturgies - in Amharic, Azeri, or russian - every Sunday!

Will it stick? We'll see next Sunday - Easter 🐰

All five (!) Vatican Radio freqs for a Palm Sunday special are up, mostly with weaker signals than expected.
17520 French fair w/ long/short-path echo
17540 English destroyed by CRI English 🪖
17790 Arabic good
15595 Arabic excellent
15565 Portuguese threshold carrier only via Talata
#shortwave #A26

ANOTHER UPDATE 0743z: the unscheduled Voice of Turkiye German didn't just go from 17780. It... moved to 13685, which is a correct freq this hour in #A26 for a broadcast in... Azeri 😆

Though they switched abruptly to some chanting, which *might* be what Azeri service is playing... #shortwave #A26

15330 kHz: RFI in Fulfulde, signal about on par with French on 15300. #shortwave #A26

UPDATE 0738z: 17780 is gone, leaving CNR1 jammer against suspected Sound of Hope. #shortwave #A26

17810 kHz: just caught BBC WS running a bit overtime, w/full news flash in English. Schedule is 0430-0530z Pashto/Dari, 0700-0730z Arabic, 0830-1130z more Pashto/Dari, all via A'Seela🇴🇲. Arabic is to Sudan, although may be on the same feed as 639 & 720 kHz from Cyprus, if on this time #shortwave #A26
