** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, correxion to last report: the third time mentioned should have been 2324 of course, not 2424 (gh) ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, March 3 at 2300, WRMI is OFF. Huge signal on by next check 2310 with Spanish song, 2313 multi-lingual RAE IDs, 2314 Chinese talk, standard remark (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 25305 USB, way down here, March 3 at 2325, Brasuguese CBish contact with reverb, beeps (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 300 MCW kHz, March 3 at 0743 UT, dash and YIV, 500-watt ND beacon at Island Lake MB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 334 MCW kHz, March 3 at 0744 UT, dash and YER, 195-watt ND beacon at Fort SevERn ON - first time log. ``Fort Severn First Nation is a Western Swampy Cree First Nation band government located on the Severn River near Hudson Bay. It is the northernmost community in Ontario, Canada. In 2001, the population was 401, consisting of 90 families in an area of 40 square kilometres.`` And it`s 2312 km = 1436 stmi from Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, March 3 at 1547, Trenton Military is gone again, no signal direct. But if they were on, would misannounce time as 1445z. Then left PEI SDR running until timeout at 1915, no CHR, not even a carrier. Also nothing on 6754 USB direct at 2317 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. David Crawford replies to my inquiry about the 1141 kHz carrier: ``Hello Glenn, 1141 programming has consistently been Radio Cadena Agramonte, Camagüey for a while now, but is still sometimes only an open carrier. The 1141 carrier was first noted here May 2024. Progreso programming was first noted August 2024, and first noted with full modulation in October 2024, but only carrying any audio very intermittently. CadAg programming was first noted April 2025, and has generally been there more than carrier-only since. Having said all that, it's probably time to check the programming again. With the apagones, usually there's nothing on 1141 at all lately, and activity has been very intermittent, and usually there only after 03 Z. The previous, primary CadAd freq of 910 was last heard here in November 2022 with bad modulation. The station made a surprise appearance through the 1180 pile in April 2025 but I haven't confirmed it there since. Recent checks on 1140 at night here usually find one Rebelde dominating, and sometimes CMBF there. Sometimes there's nothing from Cuba, and WRVA, WQBA, and WBXR own the channel. WQBA slowly varies around 1140.023 and is easy to identify by the offset. Another question related to 1140 is whether Radio Surco is still on the air. I've had no confirmed reception of them on 1080 or 1140 in a good while. -- David E. Crawford, Indian River City, Florida Libre`` - tnx, David!

Also, Tony Pavick, BC observes at 1627: ``VoK has been in a pretty sad state these past several days. 9435 has a godawful hum and distortion. 11710 sounds like it has contracted a case of Cuba's windhowl with almost no audio making it through`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MARTINIQUE. 28485 USB, March 3 at 2257, FM8QR quickworking UStations.

SDR, since it was missing direct the last two nights. Now it is on, S6/S7 with music, and nothing on any other known RV frequencies, including 7890 where I suspected it harmonicizing from 3945. I`m still on same remote at 0532 when there are probate legal notices in English, now S8/S9; and at 0725 in Bislama now S9+. At 0732 I tune direct and it`s S7/S9, and also a JBA carrier vs noise level on 7890. So what else could be on 7890?
