** BRAZIL. 25985 LSB, March 16 at 2216, unID Brasuguese CB/freebander
with reverb, beeps; while licensed Brahams are in on 10m. Another, at
2217 on 25835 LSB, yelling, reverb, beeps (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 28490 USB, March 16 at 2211, Matt, PU1SHK calling CQDX from
Rio. I thought it was PY1SHK, unfound, but DX heat/cluster matches
frequency and call to a contact at 2203. Then back to QRZ.com:
``PU1SHK Brazil flag Brazil, Matheus "Matt" Miller, Campos Dos
Goytacazes, RJ, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. NO RHC frequencies, Rebelde or CRI relays heard March 17
around 0210 on 4 thru 16 MHz, due to islandwide apagón as in the news.
I don`t usually have any clear on MW, but the most obvious absence
there is 530, only a JBA carrier presumably Canada (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CHILE. 28495 USB, March 16 at 2214, CE3VAK, Víctor in Santiago
contacting a TI. QRZ.com: ``CE3VAK Chile flag Chile, Victor M.
Aranguiz M., Santiago, Chile`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004-, March 16 at 2305, no signal from VOT
into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. But recheck at
2353 when measured, a song which could be Turkish or Turkistanish, now
S9+30/40; 2355 VOT English s/off as if 1330 on 13635, something`s
always awry at Ankara. Fragment of IS, just in time to pause, cut to
restart IS loop now with German IDs. Emirler macht immer Fehler. 0000
March 17, s/on but hard to understand German, must be Turkish accent:
something`s always awry at Ankara. Now the ChiCom understation is
audible. By next check 0006, VOT finally off, clear for East
Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom cultural genocide against
Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2338 monitoring: Confirmed Sunday

week cut to S9+10/20 dead air into Knoxville after Wavescan, 2350
lead-up to resuming at top of hour!
Confirmed UT Monday March 16 from 0305.2 on Area 51 webcast, after
WBCQ 5130 cut off JL who was running over, not gotta go until 0304.
BTW, 7490 at that hour was getting only OTH radar into NH SDR.

Thanks for your efforts to support Short Wave Radio all these years.
Let`s hope we all live to see sanity restored to our gov`t, more
specifically to the VOA, RFE, RFA etc.`` with a contribution by check
on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

** U S A. 9930, March 16 at 2207 as I happen to bandscan across here,
no signal from WTWW, but instantly cuts on with S9+40 of TOMBS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, WTWW update early UT March 17 from George McClintock:
still can`t get it to work, after installing a new tube. Will keep
messing with it, awaiting consultant, who is ex-Continental and made
the transmitter, to return from Vietnam. There was a burned-up shroud
around the tubes, blackening. Checked the tube sockets and they seem
to match. Another $ 1200 tube did not work and surprisingly the seller
refunded his money. Got two plungers costing $ 6000 each (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17790, March 16 at 2220, zero signal direct from WRMI-7,
leaving 17715 Spain the OSOB; while 15770 WRMI-9 is nominal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9455, Mon March 16 at 2307, WRMI-11 in Portuguese, so RAE
relay is back to that after excursions to Chinese, Japanese, Spanish.
Let its S8+30/40 into Georgia SDR run in background and did not notice
exactly when it went silent, but at 2350 came to life with the IS/ID,
ToH leadup as if just signing on. Same mixup we`ve been getting on
Sundays, instead of previously scheduled WOR at 2330 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5890, UT Tue March 17 at 0202, surprised to hear WWCR-4 on
the air now; maybe it`s been back for a while, but only scheduled UT
Tue-Sat at 02-04 when I haven`t been checking much. It`s Truth House
this hour and guess what, the convicted and deceased Tony Alámo at
03-04! per sked. 4840 & 5935 are also on air, so WWCR is back to full
75% with #1 unit still closed down voluntarily. This also possiblizes
the leapfrog mixing product on 5980 if not in reverse on 5845 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 760, March 17 at 0211 UT, something in Spanish almost
as strong as WJR, but no time to follow it. Rather than Cuba, most
likely XEABC near Mexico City among the six XEs, if not 10 kW daytimer
KMTL Arkansas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, March 17 at 0206, huge S9+40 open carrier direct,
surely too strong for ISS in case on by mistake with no R. República
feed? It`s the SSOB exceeding 9395, 9690, 9700, 9955! Still at 0245
S9+50 into Georgia SDR, but seems to go off about 0258 -- no, a weaker
deadair is still there, only S7/9+15 past 0313 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 0317 UT March 17
