** CUBA. 11760, March 24 at 0625, S9+30 of dead air, yet the SSOB.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5800, March 24 at 0635, pulse jamming against nothing at rate
of about 160 pulses per minute. All because some months ago, WRMI
briefly put R. República on here for one hour IIRC 0300. Now it`s
ruined for the forseeable future. WRMI-10 now scheduled 22-04 only
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, March 24 at 2121, R. Cairo at S9+35 into UTwente,
but suptorted in English, almost understandable beneath big humbuzz,
2123 presents something else. This time I go looking for a live
webcast. WOR hitlist leads only to general homepage, and can`t get
anything audible. Publicradiofan.com leads to ERTU English via
http://egradio.eg/LiveRadio/ but again can`t get anything to play. At
least it`s a neat multilingual player design. A pop-up for Qur`an
certainly does play -- until it stalls (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7295.002, Fri Mar 24 at *1758, carrier on with tone
less than 1 kHz, presumably BULGARIA, S9+20 into UTwente, 1800 IRRS
s/on as 7295 & 1323, Feature Story News & Spotlite, 1804 into another
newscast not IDing until later as VOA. 14590 harmonic inaudible today
in depressed conditions. Later in hour some rock music show where WOR
used to be, not specified, only generic schedule entry. Before 1800
there is ACI from China 7300, after 1800 2ACI from China 7285. In A23,
IRRS plans to go back to 7290, but not make a time shift, staying at
18-19 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15355, March 24 at 2023, French at S3/S2 is one of few
signals on 19mb in depressed conditions. It`s AWR at 2000-2030 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Mar 24 at 2300, SNR token English, previews will
be pt 2 of 2 interview about German painter Lucian Freud, of the
*ugly* portraits. No tnx, over to Turkey - after checking other
frequencies into Maryland SDR: 12030 & 11940 are OK, but 11685 JBA.
From Mar 27 this will be at 2200 UT M/W/F on 17855 for us - which may
be a bit too high until later in season; 17715, 15520, 11670. Lower
15520 may work better for us off the back to ME, like 12030 has been
in B-season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.004, March 24 at 2308, VOT VG into UTwente, with S&R
salute after news and `Review of Turkish Press`; 2315 `Weekly
Analysis` repeat about China getting Iran and Sa`udi Arabia together;
2322 multilingual ID filler reel; 2325 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing
Supring` repeat about colds & flus, antibiotix NG vs viruses; 2331
`Always by your side` promo; music, 2339 `Always with you` promo, `Did
You Know That` repeat about Istanbul restaurant; 2348 ABYS, music;
2352 s/off; 2353 IS; 2356 restart IS with German IDs, and stays on in
spurious language still until cutoff just before 0034* March 25.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Note: From March 26 with
A-23, English moves to 2200 UT on a frequency not used before, 11785
instead of 9830 in A-22. May have ACI from 11780 Brasil (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 10048 USB, March 24 at 0627, San Francisco ATC contacting a
FEDEX flight, refers to another SFO frequency, 6673. Fedex replies
JBA. EiBi shows:

10048 0000-2400 J Tokyo Radio E FE
10048 0000-2400 USA San Francisco Radio NP E NOc /ALS-ba
10048 0000-2400 USA San Francisco Radio NP E NOc /HWA-m

What means NP? This does mean SFO originated but transmitted very
remotely from Barrow, Alaska, or Moloka`i, Hawai`i (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 9455, March 24 at 0631, NO signal from WRMI-5, scheduled
24h, at this time with SMTV; despite disturbances, 9395 & 9955 are
quite loud. Something`s off at Okeechobee. Recheck 2019, 9455
still/again off while 9395 is OK. At 20-21, 9455 would have been the
*only* WRMI with TOMBS! What a respite (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 720, March 24 at 1509 UT, WGN mentions its TV-side, News
Nation. Altho possible via daytime groundwave, strong enough I think
now to be residual skywave; no CCI. City-to-city distance: 1073 km =
667 miles.

670, March 24 at 1509 UT, WSCR also still audible as `The Score` but
with fast SAH no doubt from KLTT Denver, which is always reaching here
via daytime groundwave, 725 km = 450 mi.

MW Offsets shows WSCR on 670.0004 as of 2022 and KLTT on 670.0018 as
of 2020, i.e. 1.4 Hz apart, but obviously much more than that now.
Enid sunrise was 1229 UT today, so these were over 2.5 hours into
dayside (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 24 at 0632, RV manages to modulate, YL talking
seems like French intonation, S6/S8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 990 kHz, morning & afternoon chex March 24, JBA signals
from the two accessibles on daytime groundwave, KRSL Russell KS, and
KFCD Farmersville(Dallas) TX, but one of them seems to be dead air. At
2150 UT checking Crowley TX SDR, KFCD is not dead but gospelhuxtering
in Spanish. Overland Park KS is really too far from Russell, but does
seem to be modulation on JBA carrier vs high noise level at 2153, also
too close to local 980 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

least March 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2183)

Missionária, way off-frequency again after a spell close to nominal
9665.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2183)

** CUBA [and non]. 9535, March 23 at 0651, RHC Spanish ID clashing
with R. Ndarason International via Woofferton UK, which starts at
0600, and RHC supposed to stop at 0500; at equal level totaling S9+10
making medium-rate SAH. 9700 nor other RHCs overtime found now.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2183)

** KUWAIT. 7590, March 23 at 0643, JBA music, only thing sked is R.
Farda at 0230-0830, a bit late for that long after sunrise; also with
weak 2-way QRM from 7591 USB. Meanwhile no VOK on 7580 but that`s not
on until 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, March 23 at 0641, VON is on at S7/S9 but just
barely modulated. Something`s always abnormal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. From Lucas Bandura, BC: ``Regarding the 4015 USB
pirate, it is still the Russian ethnic pirate without a doubt. The
music he plays varies but his signal is very distinctive. I agree with
Gary Pence that the signal does seem to be from some southwest US
location other than Arizona, but I am still not totally sure. The TDoA
results are reliable (which usually means they are somewhat accurate)
but listening on different SDRs the location seems different. The
actual station ID is not heard often, I have attached a recording.
There is a bit of speech in a language I have yet to identify that he
plays often, but I have no idea what it is (that sounds like what
Glenn heard). I have also attached a recording of that`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2183)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 23 at 0641, S7/S8 should be enough RV to hear
modulation, if any, but no (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA 9/kHz split MW carrier search, March
23 at 0712: no 846 Kiritimati; but 684 and 612. It`s rather late but
maybe 684 the 150 kW Spain; 612 the 300 kW Morocco. Nothing Pacifican
closer than Australia on 684, NZ on 612, per WRTH 2022, as we know the
2023 E Asia & Pacific sexion is incomplete (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0122 UT March 24

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, March 22 at 2252, LRA36 is S3/S6 into
Buenos Aires SDR - the Mendoza one is deaf, Spanish discussion back on
original frequency rather than other transmitter one kHz lower.
Without any advance notice this time, maybe a regular Wednesday
evenings, numerous reports of this had erupted on the WOR iog,
starting with Eric Fetters-Walp at 2012 UT via Montevideo SDR.
Apparently there was a break but came back on at 2207 per Arthur
Pozner. 2345 check here direct: no signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, March 22 at 0624, S7/S9 of dead air, 2 x 6000 where
the dead air rates S9+30; and no others are still on so no 12120 as
last night. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, March 22 at 2227, this RHC is off. 11850 is on, S6/S9
of pointless suptorted JBM along with parasitic spur carrier on 11840,
the mirror on 11860 unable to compete with Martí and jamming. 11880
also off where English used to appear sporadically. Somethings` always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, March 22 at 2222 direct, S6/S9 of dead air, no doubt
another failure of R. Cairo to broadcast in English; something`s
always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 11630, March 22 at 2226, S4/S7 of Western classical
orchestral music, whence? NHK morning Japanese service at 21-23 to SE
Asia, off the back (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, March 22 at 0645, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati, as usual now, the only 9/kHz split audible in MW bandscan,
getting too late for Europe even if otherwise propagable (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4015 USB, March 21 at 0257, weak S5 into northern
Utah SDR, nondescript rather repetitive music, still there past 0316,
0347, 0357. Russian-ethnic pirate восточная звезда [Vostochnaya
Zvezda] was logged here March 17 & 18, see my previous reports.
Probably still, but unlike before: never any ``московские вечера`` IS
à la маяк. Occasional brief bits of talk/conversation totally
unreadable even as to which language. I never heard before nor now the
Russian ID reported by others.

Since programming now is different, this could be some other pirate,
as no one has an exclusive claim to 4015. HFUnderground reports of
this have been very sparse lately. Wolverine Radio was also on 4015 at
some point, but tonight does not sound like that either.

Gary Pence, KM5X, has been monitoring this ``Eastern Star``
extensively via several remotes in California & Nevada, comparing
signal strengths, ``where it`s being heard and how well. Other
considerations are terrain and antenna type used`` by the remotes,
concluding that it`s not in southern Arizona as someone else
suggested: ``I think he has a terrain block he`s dealing with. I
personally think he`s running 40 or 50 watts. If it was more power it
would be a bigger circle of consistent reception. I think he is in
south central to southwest Nevada. So this is my circle of consistent
copy over time.`` Earlier Gary suggested SW Nevada, perhaps in the
Dyer/Piper Peak area right next to the California border: ``Hi Glenn,
this is not TDOA technology, just my personal opinion, ole school
DXing after 50 years hamming and common sense. Best guess
between those two points. 73s, Gary`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed March 22 at 2300 REE VG into Maryland for token
English, Justin starts by announcing new A23 total transmission
schedule but not making clear English will be one UT hour earlier.
Preview of feature topix: interview with amateur astrologer -
pass!Can`t waste time with nonsense. Over to Turkey (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960v, March 21 at 2314 & 2346 chex via UTwente: NO
signal from VOT English, just Chinese from XJPBS, East Turkistan, std
denunciation.

5960.003, revives March 22 from 2358 tune-in to IS blotting BBC, VG
into UTwente, 2300 sign-on and news including Ramadan will start
``Thursday`` meaning March 23, in most countries but several others
are waiting until Wednesday to decide whether to start it Thursday or
Friday --- but Wednesday is over already. All depends on official
local sightings of new moons, how quaint. 2309 `Review of Turkish
Press`. 2312 search & rescue team salutes. 2313 `Whipping Piles`, half
of world`s population to be obese by 2035y, per WHO. 2318 `Weekly
Commentary` read by heavy-accented YL, unlike Whipping Piles which was
by a more understandable YL. But atop the CCCCCCI undercurrent from
XJPBS. About China becoming a power broker, Iran/Sa`udi Arabia, etc.
2228 song. 2233 `Feeling Supreme/Healing Supring` on common cold, flu
and antibiotic treatments - not useful against viral causes;
recommends garlic, zinc, etc. 2340 songs. 2354 s/off with same
defective script as usual, but sounds like a new reading by same
announcer. 2355 IS, 2356 starts inserting German IDs and keeps going
after 2400 timesignal, s/on and news on a totally spurious but not
infrequent SW broadcast.

Note that since Türkei became Türkiye, the ``der`` has been eliminated
after ``Stimme``. So the new name even imposed on other languages,
must not be limited to one part of speech, proper noun.
Recep could not stand his domain being confused with a dumb? but tasty
bird. Yet in German there is no such confusion as the bird is a
*Truthahn*, nothing wrong with calling the country Türkei!

Strangely, during this hour I did not hear a single one of those
crutches, ``always at your side`` promos, nor even the 2-minute
multi-lingual ID filler reel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re 12050, WEWN Spanish, RCM, missing March 21 at 1540, I
also inquired of Glen Tapley: ``Still wondering about WEWN. People ask
me if it will ever resume English on SW; what should I tell them?
Glenn``

Glen Tapley replies: ``The transmitter is being repaired. Parts,
especially tubes, take much longer to order, have built and tested,
then received. Once all is received, installed, and tested, the
English transmission will resume. Sent from my iPhone`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0022 UT March 23

** CUBA. 12120, March 21 at 0646, RHC Spanish, hefty S9+10, enough to
shoulder aside the heavy RTTY infesting nearby. Of course, it`s 2 x
6060. But undermodulated and with CODAR QRM. I`ve often hunted for
this without any success, so now wonder if more than accidental
emission. Normally the most likely 2x from Cuba is 12000. Also
possible: 12200 & 12330 worth checking when the 6100 & 6165
fundamentals be on, or should be on. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 5960, March 21 at 0000, XJPBS joining CNR1 for
morning national anthem, but at 0002 also a clip of the Soviet Hymn, a
bit jarring, but that`s just covering Xi`s visit to Putin; via
UTwente, continued from TURKEY log. Standard denunciation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11800.085V, March 21 at 0650, weak S6/S9 signal way
off-frequency, i.e. DW in Hausa, at 0630-0700 via Issoudun: a site
emitting many imprecise frequencies, and this one is also varying
slightly as I try to measure it. These stick out in my bandscans at
1-kHz intervals in USB, producing a rumble or some pitch other than
1000 Hz when tuned 1 kHz below nominals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 12050-12055-12060 DRM, Tue March 21 at 1540, surprised to
find DRM noise here, and also no AM signal on 12050, the last
remaining frequency of WEWN. Wonder if this be no coincidence, WEWN
cooperating with the DRM or possibly even emitting it? By the time I
check remotes in various parts of USA with DRM capability, nothing by
1552. Only then do I check the listings: none such in HFCC B22. But
EiBi & Aoki both show KTWR in DEM on 12055 in English at 1245-1300 &
1515-1545, both Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15530.042, March 21 at 1533, hymn S7/S9: KSDA at 1530-1600 in
English or Tibetan per day of week. Unusual to find this one skewed so
far (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, March 21 at 0706, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati, only 9/kHz split in MW bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, March 21 at 1537, two signals beating,
S8/S9. Seems the Recep Turkish jammer and Dengê Welat are sticking
here rather than 17470 or 17480. Site for D.W. unclear; latest EiBi
shows UZBEKISTAN for all three, which makes sense propagationally, but
not frequencially since it`s no longer minus ~250 Hz or so; Aoki
misses them completely. Besides too-close Armenia, also possible per
wolfie: Bulgaria, Tajikistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MONGOLIA. Re last report under UZBEKISTAN, aside about VOM
frequencies, a correxion from Ron Howard about the 09-11 UT broadcast:
``Thanks very much to Glenn, for noticing my strange posting. I had
the wrong frequency for the Voice of Mongolia. I definitely heard them
on 12084.87, NOT 12014.87. Very sorry for my mistake!`` - so the
listed schedule is correct -- except for being way off-frequency in
both cases. I wish everyone were so diligent in issuing correxions
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 20 at *2255 on, VOR covering BBCWS OMAN with IS
& English IDs. By 2311 and for rest of hour, heavy pumping fast fading
SAH, presumably caused by XJPBS now also upon slightly different
frequency - but see below. Via UTwente displaying 5959.999+, quite
unusual to swerve to the minus side. 2316 ending `Review of the
Turkish Press`; 2319 salute to search & rescue teams from abroad. I`m
checking in & out: 2331 outro `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Supring`;
2332 with-you-every-hour promo, song; 2337 always-by-your-side promo;
``La Bamba`` theme to `New Day, New Choices` about the art form of

IS to 2355* uncovering XJPBS: but even after reloading also displays
as 5959.999+ so that does not explain the SAH. By last check 0028,
however, that has drifted up to 5960.001 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565 CW, March 20 at 0601, HIFER beacon with continuous
K6FRC IDs
from Patterson CA; vs CODAR. Must be very first time I`ve heard it
outside the usual post-sunrise window around 14/16 UT, suspecting it`s
not 24h. It was stronger then than JBA at 1504 vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) [My original report was lacking the ID!]

** U S A. 5085, March 21 at 0100, WTWW-2 is still missing, as George
McClintock updates me: altho he can operate it remotely, he has been
recovering from a virus or something for the past two weeks, quite ill
at home - and also a week without power following the windstorm; still
trees across the street. Meanwhile the station still needs a *lot* of
work; I suspected he was axually somewhat enjoying the
troubleshooting, repairing challenges, when he can get to the site.
Says an insulator broke at the end of an antenna wire, called a
Steotype, or something like that. #2 transmitter runs at 70 kW, but
Ted left with the harmonic filter not working [tho I never heard any
second harmonix from it]. Parts to bring the #1 up from 70 to a
minimum of 90 kW were ordered and supposed to be shipped from China
three weeks ago; follow-up found they were not shipped until last
week, so wait another week. Hoping that a sale will go thru but not
firm yet. Buyer will gain among everything else, at least twelve high
power tubes. Each transmitter needs only one, but Ted had been running
the filaments 24 hours, wearing them down, all of them only partly
depleted. Come to think of it, everything was done wrong. George is at
least making sure by remote control that the filaments are off when
not transmitting. #1 and #3 are in pieces. #3 driver tube is no good.
A fan was cooling a balun, but fan`s power was not wired in. A
frequency coil was missing, so had to recalibrate. Currently concerned
with fixing the automatic gate to the property (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 21 at 0715, S4/S6 carrier from R. Vanuatu,
seems dead air as often reported now after cyclone damage. At 0612,
Gary Pence was hearing carrier, no modulation into Oahu SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7720 & 7680, March 21 at 1529, JBA talk, seem to be real
as still there with preamps off, do not compute as strong signals
mixing with my two local MW signals on 960 & 1390, nor of course as
harmonix. Nothing listed on either in EiBi & Aoki. Possibly remnant of
ChiCom jamming against new SOHs?

7665, March 21 at 1530, OTOH is jamming vs RFA Tajikistan. Also JBA
carriers this late on 7390 NZ remnant [which in a few days for A23
changes to 7440]; 7365 & 7300, China and/or jammers (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED [non]. Now that we are equinoxial, chances for
nightmiddle propagation on higher bands increase: March 21 at 0643, I
detect two JBA carriers on 16m: 17640 listed as BBC English via
ASCENSION; and weaker 17730, SAUDI ARABIA in Arabic, the OSOBs (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
