** CHINA [non?]. 7500, UT Sat March 21 at 2220, talk in Chinese?,
music, S9+10 direct vs noise level of S9+10. 11575, at 2221, S9 sounds
the same but not attempted to match //. EiBi shows 7500 at 2200-2230
daily? VOA Mandarin via Philippines, and CNR1/Firedrake jamming at
same time M-F only. And 11575 at 2200-2230 only, RFA in Mandarin via
PHT, no CNR1/Firedrake jamming. Aoki shows both VOA and nothing about
*jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, March 21 at 2214, RHC Spanish, S9+10/20 with windhowl,
// clear 11760 at 2217, S9/+10 direct. Shortly after this there was
another severe blackout. At 0642 March 22, 5025 is off nor any RHC
frequencies found; nor at 1450. By 1929, S7/8 carriers only on 15140,
11880, not 11760, so some power is back on for RHC to waste (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** IRAN [non]. 5890.3, March 22 at 0054, Farsi? presumed Iran
International TV via BULGARIA, as previously reported on this
splitaway from original 5885, S7/S8. WWCR 5890 not a problem, not on
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1090, March 22 at 0104 UT, poor S9 of Spanish talk only; no
sign of cheatin` catholix KEXS or anyEng; very likely XEAU, Milenio,
Monterrey NL 5/0.5 kW nominally (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, March 22 at 0101, S8/S9 of pirate music.
These say it`s Wolverine Radio:

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, March 22 at 1520 UT on KUCO webcast, amid `Sunday
Baroque`, IDs for 90.1 KUCO but also the two satellites it sold off a
year ago to gospel huxters, KBCW 91.9 McAlester and KCSC 95.9
Woodward. Playback of entire program from back then? WTFDA FMDB shows
91.9 call now KJAL, but still as relay of classical KUCO --- NOT! And
95.9 as KJAR, ditto! Radio-locator.com shows owner of 91.9 is now The
Christian Center Inc., unknown! format. But it still has 95.9 as KCSC
relaying KUCO! Broad search on owner name leads to KJRF Lawton, `King
Jesus Reigns Forever`, on 91.1, which is the flagship no doubt relayed
by the others; none of which I have heard, nor care to. KJAL & KJAR
slogans now no doubt King Jesus + something; ideas? Website of KJRF
but nothing about the others?
https://lawtonchristiancenter.org/our-radio-station
Broad search also leads to a listing for KJAL 91.9 at rabbitears.info
- I did not realize that covers FM as well as TV:
https://www.rabbitears.info/fmq.php?request=items&call=KJAL&arch=
But not for KJAR (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

YXL, not audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, March 21 at 2320, VOT not off the air, S9+15/35 into

theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 385 MCW kHz, March 22 at 0645 UT, two JBA NDbeacons mixing,
including an O and a W? Very likely the two I have heard before
separately, HO HOt Springs AR, and UWL New Castle IN; see my Dec 1,
2025 report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2338 monitoring: ``9395 UNITED
STATES (FL) WRMI at 2330. WoR confirmed, but we weren't able to copy
content (too far west here for 31 meters this hour). We confirm WoR
bc the one thing that did come thru was recognizable voice of Glenn
Hauser. Thinking here the program was better at timezones east of
here. --- Noted 3/18 (Rick Barton-AZ)``

Germany, 3975, fair into recommended Barney SDR in Bedford UK.

S3/S4 into Brasila.
Sat Mar 21 at 2335, WRMI 9455 with gospel huxter instead of deadair,

** U S A. (12160), Sat Mar 21 at 1700 on WWCR-2 webcast, `Talking
Machine Show` which is mostly musicking rather than talking, host Phil
Patton at 1705 thanks Mr Glenn Hauser for some nice comments about his
show in DX Listening Digest - shows you how ancient this tape be - I
remember hearing the same shout-out some time ago, probably same
episode, never explicitly numbered nor dated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15150, March 22 at 1450, WMLK is only S9 in severely
degraded propagation, hardly anything else on 15 MHz and higher bands,
but 9930 WTWW is still blasting. K-index 6.00 at 1500 after G3 geomag
storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Re KTALDT 6-1, RF26 Shreveport DTVDX, as rabbitears.info
reminds us, community of license is Texarkana TX - not AR - not that
it matters, but operates out of Shreveport LA, market sharing, and
site in LA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
