** CUBA. 11760, March 23 at 1407, RHC not off the air, S9+20 with good
modulation during song in English; also weaker 15140 S7/9+5 and not
too much windhowl? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880 & 15140, March 23 at 1858, RHC in Kriyol, about
S9+10/15 on both into Georgia SDR, but 15140 is JBM and 11880 slightly
overmodulated and distorted. Somethings always wrong at RHC, but
tolerable. Instead of cutting to dead air before English can start,
keeps modulating! 1859 IS, 1900 English opening previewing contents of
first [only] hour: News, Viewpoint, Science/Medical, Culture/Arts.
First news item about boats from Yucatán carrying aid for Cuba (Glenn

** MEXICO. March 23 0458+ UT, rapid MW bandscan hears warmongering
Mexican national anthem on all these, even if only buried in QRM: 590,
610, 690, 730, 900, 940, 1060 now it`s 0500, 1190, 1280, 1570, 1670
kHz. This is 11 pm HCM, i.e. immediately following `La Hora Nacional`
on UT Mondays; otherwise NAs more likely to play at local midnight,
which is 0600 UT except Texas border cities forced to observe American
CDT = 0500 UT. Identity obvious in most cases from major stations, but
what about: ?
590, XEPH in CDMX is biggest 25/10 kW, while closest XEFD Rio Bravo
does not NA per IRCA Mexican Log; two others. Immediately following ID
is time to snatch IDs. 0503 ``La estación más caliente?`, string of
government PSAs, 0504, ``esto es música continua`` - IRCA shows `La
Más Caliente` is a slogan of XEPH, a.k.a. Sabrosita.
610, XESORN Saltillo Coah is closest, 4 others
1280, XEAW Monterrey probably, but 4 others
Some other SS were not NAing as I tuned across: 660, 770, 1050.
By 0508 some more SS which may or may not have NAed: 860 lectura, 0510
music.
1090 at 0523 lectura on N/S antenna only and LSB required to avoid
KRLD IBOC noise peaking 1093; likely XEAU Monterrey.
1300 at 0525, song; two lowpower Texans are SS:REL, and WNQM Nashville
of WWCR has some Spanish. Three Mexicans led by XEP Juárez, 40 kW day
power, but night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, March 23 at 0452, anti-Christ pirate
Station YHWH, S9/+10 direct, thintonations of Josiah easily readable
but yawn. Some guys never tire of hearing him, hi (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Sent to KUCO 90.1: ``What is going on? This weekend I
have heard several IDs for KUCO/KBCW/KCSC, the relays you disposed of
a year ago. Inserted within programs; were you playing back old
airchecks? For example, Sunday at 10:20 am {1520 UT} inside Sunday
Baroque? Monday 6:33 am {1133 UT} during Concierto, and why was it
playing then? Monday at 1:21 am {0621 UT} ending From the Top, NPR,
evidently from year 2019, IDs and starting Wind & Rhythm. Why at these
hours? And why don`t you include on your program schedule what`s
really airing at 12-6 am, especially weekends? Regards, Glenn Hauser,
Enid``
Reply: ``Thank you for your email Glenn. KUCO had a connection failure
that links the studios to the tower forcing our station to play backup
audio for on-air and streaming. We have since corrected the issue.

** U S A. 1440, March 23 at 0532 UT, C&W dominating, something new?
Then ``Amarillo`s home for independent country music``, ad for Glenrio
town on NM border; ``Texas 95-7 KPUR``. Seems the 1440 has been off
for quite a while. First noted in MWCircle:
``KPUR Amarillo TX 1440 on air again - From: Bjarne Mjelde Date: Sun,
22 Mar 2026 19:32:17 UTC - Haven't seen any posts in here about it,
but according to the FCC info they resumed operations on March 11.
Heard here at the KONG-HQ in Arctic Norway with 95.7 liners and
mentions of 957kpur.com, likely on day power the last two nights. C&W
format. -- From the world's northernmost DX-er, Bjarne Mjelde, Arctic
Norway, kongsfjord.no, arcticdx.blogspot.com`` and in IRCA, Paul
Walker suggests they turned it on to preserve license, i.e. allowed
silent time about to expire, so we`ll hear if it vanish again. It had
been off for almost a year. KPUR is U2 5/1 kW, no longer farm/talk/ag
format ``all ag all day``; night pattern favors NW/SE put plenty to NE
not notched. 100 kW 95.7 is licensed to Claude, which is ESE of
Amarillo on US287 on the way to Clarendon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 9960, March 23 at 0517, JBA carrier, presmed RV here
instead of 7260 yet; by 0653, S5/S7 music on 7260 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4810, March 23 at 0456 carrier but can`t pull any
modulation even by LSB tuning to avoid Martinique uteblob. Presumably
R. Logos, Chazuta, Perú, only thing in Aoki but 0900-2330/2400; rather
in EiBi at 0815-1500 & 2100-0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4850, March 23 at 0458, JBA carrier. Maybe Europirate?
Nothing listed now, and around noon in Xinjiang but which is JB
audible 5/6 hours earlier when Kazakhing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
