 ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Mar 20 at 2255, WRMI with IS & ID loop preceding `top of hour` programming; which at 2300 turns out to be RAE in Portuguese; platforms include radiogarden, and WRMI with no details. then music, one preview topic about Mendoza. I`ll bet it default to dead air at 2330 and another ToH leadin at 2350 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, March 20 at 2300 past 2310, NO signal into UTwente from VOT English; maybe still on preceding 9610 for 2130-2230 English? Something else is there with music at 2303; only CNR8 in Mongolian listed. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 275 MCW kHz, March 20 at 0619 UT, HIN, 25-watt NDB `Whitney`, Chadron NE. Seldom heard here; well, first heard exactly one month ago, not since (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Also confirmed Friday March 20 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.996+, S9/+10 in UTwente, but already in music at 2157; did it start early or get chopped short? Not confirmed Friday March 20 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9/+15 into Georgia SDR; rather, `Quorum Radio`, which is still on WRMI skedgrid ONLY at 2200 on Tuesdays, WOR still sked now. Permanent change?

Many thanks this week to Gerald T Pollard, Raleigh NC, for a generous seasonal check marking Vernal Equinox to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1070, March 20 at 1258 UT, sportstalk, WDIA ID in passing, mywdia.com -- it`s U4 50/5 kW in Memphis TN. Night pattern has very tight major lobe southward, very little thisaway toward KNX, but day pattern is oval favoring N/S, yet plenty sideways too. Another bonus from the silence of Wichita. Today`s real sunrise there was 1204 UT, as to be expected on the Vernal close to 90 degrees west; so should be legally on day pattern now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1090, March 20 at 0636 UT, L&C RCC talk, call-in discussing Martin Luther, who was hard to get along with, tsk2. This signal is totally unusual; 1090 at night has nothing but weak mixes, but this sounds like a major 50 kW clear-channel station. 0655 closing the show, from EWTN. Yes, as I suspected, its KEXS Excelsior Springs MO [Kansas City], a 10 kW D4 DAYTIMER! With illegal ops like this, who needs SW 15610? Not unusual to hear it just before sunset. Day pattern is ovalish favoring the SW toward Wichita and me from site NE of KC, definitely inside MO: https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KEXS&service=AM&h=D D4 means it also has a ``critical hours`` power of 4 kW with a different pattern but very similar, anyhow well beyond CH in the nightmiddle. Next check at 1256 UT, also well audible, mentioning Catholic Radio Network. I`ve yet to definitely hear KAAY Little Rock on 1090 since its degradation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 969.935 approx., March 20 at 0652 UT, low audible het against 970.00 signals. Yes, the TV set is off, so this may be real, but nothing that far off in mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2322 UT March 20
