** ASCENSION. 12095, March 13 at 0721, S2/S4 French talk about
football, song. It`s BBC at 0700-0729. 12095 was a pioneering
out-of-band channel like 15070, 9410, originally English only from UK
sites. Now also via Oman at other hours, and also used by FEBC Manila
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BELIZE [and non]. 28392 USB, March 13 at 2207, V31YL, a YL working

** CANADA. 15034 USB, March 13 at 1437 UT, Trenton Military not off
the air, giving time as, what else? ``1335 z``, then Shannon weather,
S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 7410, March 13 at 1446, nice SE Asian? music S9 direct. EiBi
shows CRI/CGTN with two simultransmissions this hour: Japanese from
Jinhua site, and Mandarin to SE Asia from Beijing site, but I am
hearing only one of them. One would think they would QRM each other in
Asia if really doublesending (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

undermodulated under windhowl, but clear S8/S9 on 11760 with music,

** MADAGASCAR. 15440, Mar 13 at 1436, S Asian music S6/S7. It`s TWR in
Urdu at 1430-1500 only, way offbeam thisaway but with that
trans-equatorial advantage. Between 1230 & 1400, RB Australia on same
with wide variety of Indian languages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960.000, Mar 13 at 2330, Chinese only unto UTwente

** U S A. 9955, March 13 at 1444, WRMI not off the air, but
undermodulated S8/S9 talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130 -56 Hz = 5129.944, March 13 at *2355, WBCQ cuts on with
`The Planet` IS & ID reel, S9+10/20 with flutter into K1VL Vermont
remote. Since they bothered to turn it on, probably bodes well for a
*new* `AAAWWW` after a month of repeats. No signals on 3265, 6160 or
9330, but 7490 -53 Hz = 7489.947, with FKB is S9+10/20, also with
flutter. K-index is 5.67, with G2 geomag storms. Watch the Auroral
Oval.

But I start listening to the 7490 stream instead, which is running
several sex behind 5130 as WTO theme starts at 0000 UT Sat Mar 14.
Opening talkover: ``Tickling the grids, that`s what we do...``. By
0003, 6160 - 78 Hz = 6159.922 is also on with flutter at S9+15; nowhen
else? Starts reminiscing about the old days with cart machines, etc.;
finally at 0023 datestamp as 13th of March YOOLF 2026, and
trimulcasting, on 7, 6 and 5 MHz. Explains vacuum tubes, etc. They
still try to ``emphasize the analog``. ``the last holdout of true
analog communications``. 0030 complains that dark skies are being
ruined by more and more satellites, as in time-lapse photo we can`t
see. Posts on X, TicToc, Truth[sic] Social, FB but warns not to get
addicted to those. 0038 tune. 0042 old piece by a Canadian lamenting
that other countries are not helping out America in times of need - by
Byron Mack[?]. 0046 reads a Trump T-S post boasting about attacking
Iran.

0052 about the SuperStition situation, 9330. Expensive to run, so
still trying to get a new client, for 6, 12, 18+ hours a day, as WLC
is going otherwise. Have had to lay off lots of staff, electric rates
have doubled in New England. Planned to put Hal Turner on it in a
6-hour block Saturday noon-6pm ET, but not there yet. Transmitter
needs some repairs but AW is still in Deland of Fla. Ampegon antenna
has 16 bays; max ERP of 500 kW is something like 300 megawatts where
aimed. 0055 some email. 0058 prayer. At 0100, 6160 plays s/off, 5130
playing some other music. And by 0101, 7490 is starting `High
Voltage`. No such show on websked at
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=7490
which does show a 4 hour difference between UT and local but still
labels it EST! on every line instead of EDT. I thought Hal Turner had
gone away? Still on there at 0100 UT Tue-Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 13 at 0700, RV on here with Bislama talk,
S6/S7 direct. Last night they were still on 9960 at 0618, so switching
now at 0700? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4095, March 13 at 0712, sweeps upward are JBA. This
would be DW - `Desert Whooper` - had been trying to hear it all
winter, but not until now, had assumed it were gone (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13735-13740-13745, March 13 at 2221, DRMish noise of
typical bandwidth but sounds strange. Nothing scheduled now; however,
TDF is on 13740 AM at 18-20; and Aoki reminds us that WINB used to DRM
on 13740, but only between 0730 and 1000, and we know that ended years
ago! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
