** BRAZIL. 28390 USB, March 14 at 2317, giving an S9-11 report to WN
something. CQ Contest in English from Papa papa five lima - stalyit??
Strange fonetik. Finally decide he`s trying to say ``Charlie`` with 3
syllables. QRZ.com: ``PP5LC Brazil flag Brazil, FALCONS DX GROUP,
Luciano Carlos da Silva "Luciano" Falcons DX Group, Rua Pedro Noberto
Rosa, sc, 88317192, Brazil``. Lots of other Braz on 10m phone, but
hardly any beacons from anywhere - which means the ``skip is long``
beyond N America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28440 USB, Mar 14 at 2322, PY2BN caling CQ SAm? contest.
QRZ.com: ``PY2BN Brazil flag Brazil, Antonio Carlos Rodrigues (in dx
Tuka), Rua . Das Paineiras n-268 JD São Paulo, Zip
13468-060/Americana, SP, Brazil`` -- addresses written by hams
themselves are often erroneous, as to spelling, capitalization,
punxuation, axentuation, so assume sic as it`s not my job to fix them
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28493 USB, Mar 14 at 2323, ZZ3K calling CQ contest.
QRZ.com: ``ZZ3K Brazil flag Brazil, Group "MRDX TEAM DX" HAMs, Mario
Cesar LLompart, rua 14 de julho 185, Estancia velha, RS 93600420,
Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28460 USB, Mar 14 at 2324, PY5AM calling CQ contest. In
fonetix, pronounces M as ``Mike-ee``. QRZ.com: ``PY5AM Brazil flag
Brazil, ADRIANO AUGUSTO COSSETI, R: AUGUSTO RIBAS, 747, PONTA GROSSA,
PR, 84010300, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 14 at 1534, RHC VG S9+20 into Georgia SDR, also
VG modulation in Spanish as ``Cubaonline``. 11760 is off; and 15140 is
JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 14 at 1915, RHC English with ``Ed`` talking,
S9+10/20 into Georgia SDR, but suptorted! = modulation SUPpressed and
disTORTED, mostly readable if you put up with it. A different kind of
problem than usual. 15140 is much louder but so is the windhowl. 11760
not on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Mar 14 at 2126, RHC poorly audible in English into
Georgia SDR. Evidently a nominal English hour now also at 21-22 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 6150-6155-6160, March 14 at 2338, DRM noise S9+10. EiBi
shows TDF Digital irr. this hour in French to N Africa (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

announcements mention ``circa 1965``, WDWA, 970? Radio, various
jingles, ``All day, Saturday``; wild DJ, WDWA, --?--, New York to
2400* sharp off. Several IDs as ``NINE!`` here which I never heard,
and WVWA:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,160131.0.html
I wondered if relay or airchex of a real station? NRC AM Log has no
WDWA or WVWA; and no similar 970 call in NY or anywhere (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA, 6950 USB, March 14 at 2333, pirate music S9+10/20;
March 15 at 0009, music sounds best tuned to 6950.05 USB. By March 15

from 2148 to 0143+:

Let`s hope we all live to see sanity restored to our gov`t, more
specifically to the VOA, RFE, RFA etc.`` with a contribution by check
on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

** U S A. 12160, Sat Mar 14 at 1700, new time for `The Talking [sic]
Machine Show` on WWCR-2, but reception is VP direct and to various NAm
remotes, with K=5 and G1/G2 geomag storms. We listen to it anyway via
stream, but the Windows Media Player just keeps repeating the greeting
and nothing else; we can hear it via the alternative Web Player,
http://wwcr.gsradio.net:3863/index.html?sid=1
but not via
https://www.gsradio.net/shows/WWCR_PLAYERS/wwcr2.html
This is very strange (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
