** CUBA. 11760, Sun Mar 8 at 1501, RHC with Esperanto theme and
opening, still giving long-gone first time of 0800 Sunday on 6100;
this, the second one and third time not copied, but likely all wrong
too. Anyhow, this confirms that as a Running Dog of Yankee
Imperialism, Cuba has indeed switched from EST to EDT of UT -4, since
Esperanto had been at 1600v UT. Must keep in step with the gusanos in
Miami! Otherwise I have not heard a live timecheck yet on any Cuban
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9660.018, Sun Mar 8 from 1744, VOT with `Letterbox`,
S9+15/25 into UTwente. Very little intro by Cemre, right into mail: 1)
Mr --? Albanese, Palermo, Sicily, heard Italian on 11970. 2) Anatoly
Klepov, Moscow, weekly report, wants March QSL. 3) Chris Marbov?, Port
Alberni BC; had Chinese QRM to 9610. 4) Mr Jian? Chiang?, Guangzhou,
again mispronouncing ou as oo instead of oh, a 14-year-old Cantonese
or was it 40? 5) Shivanda? Pol?, secretary of a radio club in W
Bengal. At 1757 OTH clikQRM starts, worse on lower side, diminished
but not banished by USB tuning. 6) Maurizio --?, Rome with ham call.
7) A physical letter! from Annan? Bayn?, president of SWL club in
India. Ran a quiz about VOT, what`s it called in Turkish, how many
langs on SW? was 25, now 26 with Uzbek, and about that lang. Cemre
says they read *all* the letters and emails on the program -- which
means they don`t get much! 8) Mr Francis Waller?, Dublin, Ireland.
1808 ending, contact info, 1809.6 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO monitoring: confirmed Sunday March
8 at 0730 UT on WRN via WRMIs: 5850 S9+20/25; 5950 on again for this
but not other nights, S9+25/30; 7570 S9+25 undermodulated compared to
the others; 7730 JBA; 7780 S9, all direct. DST ostensibly started at
0700 UT in FL, 2 am EST renamed 3 am EDT, but did not affect these
broadcasts.

Also confirmed Sunday March 8 at 1138 the 1130 on WRN via WRMIs 7780
S8/S9; but S9+30 of dead air on 7570, still so at 1150. Not heard on
any other WRMI frequencies.

Also confirmed Sunday March 8 until 1500 on CKUT Montreal webcast --
huh? https://ckut.ca/listen-live/ Sheldon Harvey & Gilles Letourneau
had a last-minute problem uploading their own International Radio
Report and asked to run latest WOR instead this week. Glad to be of
help. Sheldon says, ``I have to say it was really neat to hear WOR
coming over CKUT's airwaves! We are going to re-record our IRR show
today and post it on our YouTube channel, even though it didn't air on
CKUT. Sheldon Harvey, Greenfield Park, Quebec``

** VIETNAM [non]. Re my 1480 log mentioning KNGO Dallas: Ngo is a
common? name, or once well-known, as in Ngo Dinh Diem or rather, Ngô
Đình Diệm, a president of Vietnam South. But what does ngo mean as a
word? Google translate says `dainty` without any accent, but with the
circumflex, means ``corn``. Now we know. There are websites trying to
explain exactly how to pronounce his full name. It seems that the
crossed-D is like English D, while the plain D is more like our J - or
``dj``. There is huge info about him at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngo_Dinh_Diem -- but does KNGO Dallas
callsign allude to him, to dainty, or to corn? The 1560/1480 website
https://vietradio.com/ displays the ID in VV but not copyable with all
the diacritix: Dai Phat Thanh Viet Ngu but Google translate transforms
it to: Đài Phát Thanh Việt Ngữ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST

Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Updated UTC offset notations for change to DST on 8 March for Cuba
(Habana R, R Progreso, & R Rebelde); and USA (R Marti, VOA, & WRMI)
(I'm still retaining the VOA links just in case there's a return,
although that now seems very unlikely)
2) Philippines - R Veritas Asia: Updated link to home page
3) USA - WBCQ: Added link to 'Allen & Angela Worldwide archives' for
2026
The next update is scheduled for end of March. Best wishes and 73,
Alan Roe

** ALGERIA. 13855, March 8 at 0052, S9/+10 of JBM singing. EiBi shows
Ifrikya FM, Ouargla at 1900-0100 Arabic except including 2000-2004
Hausa, irr. 2005-2030 English. More modulation, SVP (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ARGENTINA. 28417 USB, March 8 at 0031, LQ5H calling CQ contest.
QRZ.com: ``LQ5H Argentina flag Argentina, OLMOS Victor Fabian (LU3HS),
Gregorio Gavier Nº 4182, CORDOBA, AR 5009, Argentina, LQ5H, special
call for Activations and Contest``

--- These four-character calls proliferate in contests because: there
is a premium on different prefices even if all from the same old
countries; and it takes less time to pronounce them even fonetikaly
than if there were another letter! It all adds up during a contest,
saving time, allowing for a few more contacts than otherwise.
Unfortunately in standard fonetix all letters are two- or even three
syllables, except for G = Golf, and M = Mike. Some abbreviate F =
Foxtrot to merely Fox, but it sounds too much like Golf! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA. 28510 USB, March 8 at 0031, LP1H calling CQ contest.
Strongest signal amongst the ones I`m logging now. QRZ.com: ``LP1H

** BRAZIL. 28310 USB, March 8 at 0029, PV2G calling CQ contest.
QRZ.com: ``PV2G Brazil flag Brazil, Stephano Silva, rua José Deperon

It also offers the ability to toggle antenna RX, witch allows you to
obtain the best takeoff angle for the desired station.``

[Note: WRN feed times to NAm are expected to stay at same UT until

U4 5000/500 whilst Viet is KNGO, Dallas, U4 50000/1900 watts which is

contest contax. QRZ.com: ``ZF1A Cayman Islands flag Cayman Islands,
CAYMAN AMATEUR RADIO SOCIETY, Savannah, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

is buried under windhowl, S9+10/20. 15230 sig also seems RHC only
S4/S6. Nothing else ever listed on 15230. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 7 at 2007, S9+20/30 of windhowl only, but
pristine deadair on 11880, S9+20 both into Georgia remote. So the
20-21 English deadair will presumably shift to 19-20 from March 8 due
to the imposition of nonsensical DST in most of the USA and Canada,
and in the Running Dog of Yankee Imperialism, Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 15016 USB, March 7 at 0724 a crypto exercise message is
underway, so I switch to // 8992 USB for better reception. Not trying
to copy it, but waiting for an ``ID`` -- which never came past 0729!
Unlike ``normal`` cryptos, just keeps going with letters, occasional
numbers, and at times the same one in a row like SSSSSS, which would
never happen ``normally``. Op got carried away? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
