** U S A. (7490), Feb 28 at 0100 on WBCQ webcast, `AAAWWW` opens with
``before AI takes over the world ---``, so a repeat of last week Feb
21, which was a repeat of Feb 14 - and no other frequencies running,
checked into Vermont SDR. Never mind. AW still hasn`t replied to my
inquiry about 9330 heard back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330, Feb 27 at 2257, still no signal from WBCQ/WLCR, but I
am quite sure that is what I heard in usual sidewise Portuguese Feb 25
at 2322, never since. However, something else showed up, pirate WDOG:
``This one's usually in the 6.9 MHz band, but he's broadcasting up at
9330 USB with classic rock and R&B songs so far. I'm getting good
reception from the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland. You'll sometimes hear
dogs barking and howling during the music, which is WDOG's usual
practice. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington USA, My QSL

WOR)
** U S A. 7505, Feb 28 at 0557, WRNO ID in `Country Roads`, contact
info in Ft Worth, S9+10/20 but not solid like it usually is; then into
preaching. Bit of C&W music I heard at first may also be religious

UNIDENTIFIED. 27225 USB, Feb 27 at 2304, pro-Trump sounds like a
broadcast, probably AI/robovoice reading an article, on a CB channel.
Atop the QRM; with skip in, many other channels are a horrible mess of
hets, stupid talkers, and also freebanders above the official CBand up
at least to 27.5 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
