** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Mar 20 at 2330, as I predicted in
previous report, WRMI relay of RAE cuts to dead air, but not off the
air, and re-signs-on from 2350 runup to ToH. I`ve again informed Jeff
about this anomaly/mixup which has been happening every day, also
disrupting VORW and WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, March 21 at 0637, S8 dead air in Spanish from RHC,
only here, not 9710. But 5025, March 21 at 0639 S9+40 of dead air in
Spanish from R. Rebelde. Precious electricity and the fuel to generate
it going totally to waste. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2339 monitoring: confirmed Friday
March 20 at 2330 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975 but JBA into Ireland

Also confirmed Saturday March 21 at 0940 the 0930 on WRMI 7570,
S9+20/30 direct and not on 9455 as still wrong on skedgrid.

** U S A. 5130 -60 Hz = 5129.940, Fri Mar 20 at *2355, this WBCQ cuts
on with The Planet IS & ID reel, S9+10/25 into Vermont SDR which WWV
says is accurately calibrated; unlike WBCQ; and shortly 6160 -71 Hz =
6159.929 is also on and //, S9+5/20, but I soon notice that 6160
modulation is slightly louder than 5130. 7490 -49 Hz = 7489.951 is
wrapping up FKB, and by 0000 UT Sat Mar 21, I switch to webcast, `WTO`
theme of `AAAWWW`, first interjexion maybe ``re-up``? Not sure. Later,
``Yes, we are real, we are not Memorex...``. So it`s another
non-rerun.
As often, starts fiddling with their microphoniums [sic, he means
microphonia], and why doesn`t he get that all set before going on air?
Ah, it`s so ``live``. Then on and on about audio processing. Angela
sneezes and is blessed at 0008; then I zone out. By 0030 still on same
subject. 0038 says trimulcasting on 7, 6 and 5. Names some new
programs, Upstream, Servants of God; and unnamed one yet by a guy in
Portland ME. Then warns elders to beware of scams, as in latest AARP
magazine; AI is a *tool* which can be used for good or evil, but it is
increasing ``expeditionally`` [sic] as he says thrice rather than
``exponentially``.
0047 finally music break by Beatles, a tune I do not recognise. 0049
fiddling with mixe again, loose connexion, testing. 0052 situation at
the 9330 Superstition = still looking for major client to lease it for
6, 12, 18 or 24hpd; too expensive to operate it for shorter periods;
takes 45 minutes to turn it on including 30 minutes to warm up major
tube. Does not mention possible Hal Turner this time for 6 hours on
Saturdays. Recommends `Le Show` Suns 7 pm ET as Harry Shearer has been
with WBCQ since the beginning. 0054 emails: report that CBS Radio News
is shutting down. 0059 prayer. At 0100, 7490 goes to rock show, `High
Voltage` --- despite websked still showing Hal Turner! and HV nowhen;
6160 pause and s/off despite websked also still showing Hal Turner;
5130 to some other music, despite outdated websked not showing fq at
all on UT Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Huge tropo blob from TX to FL and rather far inland on the
DXMAP, but Enid is on the edge, March 21 at 1459 UT. DTV bandscan hits
numerous `bad` or `NO` signals on open channels, but one decodes well:
RF 26, KTALDT 6-1. Yes, no hyphen in the call displayed. NBC
programming. That`s Shreveport LA, the station with a ``tall``
antenna. I don`t get any 6-2 or further subchannels. Holds up until
1515, and occasionally pops in during next semihour. Distance from
Vivian LA site to Enid is 529 km = 329 miles. Some closer signals from
Tulsa, Eufaula, Fort Smith also in, and some OKC signals became BAD
presumably because of DX QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Mar 21 at 0631, R. Vanuatu, island music S6/S8
better than usual direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
