** ALASKA. HAARP tests on final night UT March 3, via KFS omni, from
0448 nothing found on higher frequencies until 0451 reaching 3250 with
sweeps upward every 20 seconds with pauses. Makes nice symmetrical
pattern on waterfall of diagonal lines each side of 3250 out to about
3190/3310. By 0536 longer sweeps with no pauses, still restarting
every icosasecond. There`s a weak line on 3215 which must be WWCR: I
tune there briefly and can hear the sweeps going thru it. Finally off
at 0603*. Strictly-SWBC editors may be inclined to throw this and my
9600, 5800 logs out, but I point out they concern ute intruders into
broadcast bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Sunday March 3, RHC still on at 0745 with music,
probably in order to Esperanto at 0800 but I`m zzz before then.
15140, Sunday March 3 at 1610, RHC Esperanto S7/S9, spoken rapidly as
if by a ``native`` YL, but primary frequency 11760 is off. I think it
was on before 1600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Sunday March 3 at 1542, JBA carrier presumed REE to
North America, an abject failure of frequency management, winter after
winter. On weekends starts at 1500 instead of 1900, when all-dayside
path finds 9 MHz well below the LUHF, duh. First hours need to be on
much higher band, like 17855 which presumably resume once A24 start,
and from *1400. Then they will run that into the night, facing a
reverse proplem. Now, 12030 to ME is fair and *much* better even tho
off the back, while the other two, 17715 & 17755 are more audible than
9690. 1500 on 9690 could also be CRI in Bengali via Kunming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 8992 USB, Mar 3 at 1544, EAM just starting as I tune in a
bit too late to copy today`s unique handle. YL voice with self-induced
whine to make it annoying, sounding exactly same on // 15016 & 11175
USBs, no echoes. Likely from Andrews. Fonetik message starts:
MGAJ7K--- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday March 3 at 0100 on WRMI 9955, S7/9 into Missouri SDR.

only S7 into nearby SDR and JBA direct, the nominal 0415v delayed by
overtime Houston AMSAT Tuesday net from nom. 0300, then much shorter
ARRL News for Friday started at 0454, lasting 13 minutes.
Also confirmed Sunday March 3 at 1143 when I happen to awaken, the
1130 on WRMI 9955, S9+20 and no jamming audible. Next:

** VATICAN [and non]. 13830, March 3 at 1529, VR IS, S9/+25, the SSOB
except for USigs it`s between, 13820 & 13845; and little else lower in
band. 1530 ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``, Horn-of-Africa music and
``Ye--`` s/on Amharic, mentioning kHz, meter-band and Ethiopia. Soon
matched // 15565. HFCC shows both SMG site, 250 kW, 113 & 135 degrees.
So strong here unlike any other Eurosigs on band again raises the
suspicion they are mistakenly aiming backwards USward or at least not
suppressing any back-radiation. Swahili follows at 1600, when 15565 is
still SMG but 13830 switches to Madagascar now really aimed USward
beyond, but at 1609 check, 13830 is much weaker VP, while 15565 is
S6/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZOMBIA. 4940, March 3 at 0741, Estación 4940 is on, S9+25 about
equal to noise level, in Spanish. Had been absent a few late nights
but not sure if totally off too, earlier in evening (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** YEMEN [non]. 11820, the horrible Sa`udi roarer for Rep of Yemen
Radio is no longer heard, 1536 check March 3. Andy Reid, Ont., who
tries to hear BBC on 11825 in the 23 UT hour, first reported 11820
cleared of noise as of 2344 UT Feb 29. Perhaps the Riyadh NavyDude
visiting SBA/SRI got them to stop it. I never suggested the buzz on
11820 was a Cuban jammer, as Rick Barton misunderstood (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9577.3 LSB, March 3 at 0403, 2-way in unID language;
9625.5 LSB approx, 2-way Spanish. Not much broadcasting audible around
this part of 31mb (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17745, Sun Mar 3 at 1534, weak unknown lang with
long/short path echo, prop flutter vertically, and Doppler flutter
horizontally. EiBi shows nothing on 17745 except BBC in Somali via
Woofferton, 1130-1300 SaSu and 1430-1730 Sa -- but this is Sunday!
Aoki shows BBC Somali but 1130-1300 WOF, 1300-1800 UAE and both on
days 1 & 7 only. HFCC shows several conflicting 17745 entries, three
covering 1530, all in Somali. Good luck in sorting them out!:
