** ALGERIA. 13855, March 4 at 2320, presumed Ifrikya FM, Ouargla,
S9/+10 talk direct but JBM, per EiBi at 1900-0100. 13640, Béchar,
March 5 at 2315, S9/+10 but JBM, // 13855 Ouargla S9/+10 but slightly
less JBM, i.e. more modulation. 13640 sked is 1900-0300. Weakest link
syndrome, JBM feed from studio? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA. 28466 USB, March 4 at 2317, Juan LU9HVR in Córdoba
province making quick contacts among quite a bit of activity on 10m.
QRZ.com with photos of self, equipment, 10m certificates: ``LU9HVR
Argentina flag Argentina, JUAN PABLO COSTANZO, SIMON BOLIVAR 500 Y PJE
PUBLICO, RIO CEBALLOS-CORDOBA 5111, Argentina`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9818.55, March 5 at 0722, JBA carrier, no doubt R. Nove de
Julho on signature skewed frequency, which had been off for several
nights, as also reported by:

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: BRAZIL, 9818.6. After several days off
the air, Radio 9 de Julho, São Paulo is back on 9818.6. Heard right
now, 0645, 05-03, with its usual religious program. 25422.``

And Rudolf Grimm, SP, reported March 3: ``9818,9 kHz: Radio Nove de
Julho, São Paulo SP: Active, but not continuously in SW`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15800, March 5 at 2318, S8/S9 JBA with Doppler flutter, no
doubt CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope, nothing else listed. 15610 ditto
at 2317. Certainly not WEWN, which reactivated carrier here briefly
but never resumed programming. M. Angelica`s ghost must prioritize
Spanish on 12050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN. 1322.989-, March 4 at 2334, Qur`an catches my ear via
UTwente, as I am rechecking the IRRS/AM Italia frequency which carries
WOR at 2100 Tuesdays, today with some CCI under. Per mwlist this is
surely the 50 kW IRIB external service in Azeri, 50 kW from Jolfa,
which is normally off the air 2020-0120, but this is Ramadan, so now
it`s all-night as in WRTH showing for // 7230 during March, and which
is also audible with same on 7230.006+. There is a variety of music,
soft talk, and the very pleasant soft VIRI interval signal,
periodically such as at 0009, 0017 March 5. At latter time, also some
pulsing QRM, surely not jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, March 5 at 0747 UT, dead air at S9+65 from my
nearest local KCRC Enid, instead of stupid sports talk; same of course
on its sibling, 1640 KZLS, S9+45. Both finally enliven at 0800.
Nothing else can be heard under 1390 without nulling, inconvenient at
this late hour, but else is on 1640, heard 914 area code, but must
have been on a network as that`s Westchester County north of NYC, no
1640 stations (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.7, March 5 at 2035 UT, dead air from KXLS ``Lahoma`` =
Enid market, but remodulating at 2042 check; the same cluster
providing DA on 1390/1640 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, March 5 at 2040, undermodulated $ tereo country
music from Part 15 in downtown Enid, normally dead air, and resumes
that by next check 2118 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, March 5 at 0732 UT, DDP, ND beacon heard
for first time since Dec 27 altho there was a carrier on Jan 11. I
check for it every night in bandscan. Can`t hear it tuned to 391 USB
due to somethings on 392, 395, but clearly with 391 LSB. This time
there is nothing audible further north than perennial 293 FBY
FairBurY, Nebraska. RNA Signals List says 2000 watts at San Juan /
DoraDo / Luis Muñoz Marín Intl. Still haven`t been able to hear any
others in Caribbean, Latin America if even active (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Mar 5 at 2300, token English from SNR, S9+30/40
direct, preview feature about an International Art Fair featuring S
America; 2301 news leads with *rump getting a letter from Zelenskyy;
tariffs against Mexico and Canada kick in, retaliation promised. Still
NO 12030; 17715 S8/S9, 17755 JBA. Sorry, I`d rather SEE art than HEAR
about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004-, March 4 at 2315, JBA carrier direct
the so-called N American service in English of VOT, but after 2335
when measured via UTwente, S9+30/40; mostly music until s/off 2354
awry as if it`s the 1330 broadcast, IS chopped erroneously after only
6 notes before 2355* uncovering China music.

5960.003-, March 5 at 2259, VOT English JBA direct; 2330 into UTwente
when measured, S9+20/30 with music, 2335 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music; 2340 ``always-by-your-side`` promo - or was it the other
way around? and more music. By 2359 it`s East Turkistan only on
5960.003+; standard genocidal denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

became of the `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` just before WOR and still on
the sked?? TOMBS is on there until 2100. Of course all WBCQ times
shift one real UT hour earlier from next week due to imposition of

** U S A. 9955, Wed March 5 at 1624, JBA S5/S6 presumably WRMI. Its
transmitter grid shows WRMI-3 until 1600* except Saturday TOMBS -1700.
System B program grid shows until 1630 daily with something from WRN
before going to internet only until 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

out slowly at least thrice his VORW email address, then a music
request from Windsor, Ont. WRMI skedgrid shows VORW on 7570 at this
time, not 9455. Yet another contradixion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 810 kHz, March 5 at 0740-0743+ UT, dead air at S9+45, surely
WHB Kansas City failing to talk sports. Checking of course for the
mystery 810.6v carrier, none now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1150 kHz, March 5 at 0745 UT, S9+30 of dead air, surely my
dominant KSAL, Salina KS, normally `C2CAM`. `Tis the season for solar
transit outages on satellite feeds, but not in the nightmiddle! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

U S A. 1680 kHz, March 5 at 0751 UT, deliberate talk in very strange
language, like fraxured French? Heard Québec mentioned. Could be
Haitian Kriyol. Yes! mwlist, but not NRC AM Log, shows WOKB Winter
Garden FL is ``also in Creole``. Is atop closer KRJO Monroe LA, which
regains at 0800 for ID as ``Real Country 99.7``, altho mwlist and NRC
AM Log show KRJO as ``99.7 The Legend``. No WOKB ID heard around
hourtop, still going in FF past 0805+. Unlike so many stations, WOKB
has a detailed day-by-day, hour-by-hour program schedule,
https://wokbradio.com/the-line-up
including: ``WEDNESDAY Echo Evangelique Hosted by Pastor Sanel Petit'
Frera 12:00AM - 5:00AM The best inspirational Creole programing;
music, ministry, special guest and more.`` This is the only Creole
block during the entire 24/7 week -- lucky me! Winter Garden is in
central, not south Florida. Motto: YOUR URBAN EMPOWERMENT AND
INSPIRATION STATION (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17525, March 5 at 1623, JBA S5/S4 music and talk; could
it be WMLK in the morning instead of afternoon? No, it`s now on 15150,
ID in passing, only S7/9+20 in degraded propagation. Aoki lax any WMLK
entries! EiBi has 15150 & 9275 only. Has WMLK deliberately stopped
17525? It`s in HFCC for B24 thru March 30, 2025; and nothing else
listed on 17525 except KSDA at 00-01. So what`s this? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28485 USB, March 3 at 2135, CA3PHX making quick contacts in
English or Spanish, with North, Central American stations. Had a hard
time understanding the last two fonetix of his call, finally decided
they were ``hotel, x-ray``. QRZ.com with lots of photos of him and his
equipment: ``CA3PHX Chile flag Chile, Mauricio "Mauro" Pacheco, La
Florida, santiago chile. +56984082037 Chile`` I already logged him Dec
25, 2024 on 28505 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Re 11529.9, ex-Hikari FM missing lately, Ron Howard
replies: ``Hi Glenn - Here is the quick reply from Ivan, who operates
the station. Ron (Monterey, Calif.)

"Sorry about the blackout, the shortwave transmitter is not doing
great and I took it down for investigation. There are harmonics that
might interfere a little with other stations if my signal is strong.
They are not bad but at this point I have figured out how to design it
differently and avoid class D modulators. I am also trying to get into
California right now on 1710 khz and it is difficult to run two
transmitters at a time. There is some success though so I think keep a
lookout on 1710, hopefully I will be able to get a signal into your
area. Right now it is there but it is weak and XEPE [Tecate, Baja
California, Mexico] is a problem. I plan on rebuilding the
shortwave transmitter entirely or at least looking at the schematic
and seeing if there are any shortcomings that need to be fixed. I am
switching over to class G modulators, they require no filters and have
better audio. They are slightly less efficient and require multiple
power supplies or DC converters. Hopefully I can get everything
working properly soon. Very Best Regards, Ivan" (via Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Mar 3 at 2300, token English from SNR VG direct,
good on 17715, fair on 17755, still missing from 12030; previews topic

** TURKEY. 5960, March 3 at 2259 direct, no signal but JBA on 9610,
but by 2301, JBA carrier on 5960 from VOT to NAm. Into UTwente at
2325, 5960.003 is S9+40/50 with 6CI; during cute talk about famous
cats inhabiting the White House, 10 Downing St., Hermitage in St.
Pete, Hemingway house in Key West, Hugo Chávez in Cáracàs [sic],
Kosovo. I guess it`s the item Alan Roe refers to simply as `The
Feature`. 2330 music. 2341 multi-lingual ID filler reel, music. 2355
s/off and IS off before 2356* uncovering Chinese music (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 9275, March 3 at 2302, WMLK is S9+30, surprisingly playing
``God Save The Queen`` -- I mean, ``King``. Couldn`t make out the
lyrix, ``from every mountainside``? I heard them in morning on 15150
but not lately in afternoon on 17525 - is that one active? (Glenn

days in random day and night chex. Last log I see was from Rick
Barton, AZ on Feb 22. Anyone heard it since or from now on? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.9, March 3 at 1546, JBA carrier, presumed Rep.
of Yemen Radio via Riyadh on signature skewed frequency. However, Tony
Pavick has reported via NASWA Flashsheet: ``11935.03 SAUDI ARABIA. R

the CCCCCCI is now on but well under, during a commentary, until 2319
about foreign affairs, title per Alan Roe`s sked is `The Pulse of
Turkish Foreign Policy`; TRTVOTVOrld.com promo, and start `Letterbox`.
Same new YL hostess as last week, says QSLs have been sent to those
reporting since resumed Feb 17. Those called this week, many of the
names not understandable: 1) Portugal; 2) Antonio? from Croatia wanted
a song to be IDed; 3) Chakroborty, India, laments skiresort fire
disaster; 4) John Jurasek, Orlando FL, welcome back; 5) Alan Roe, UK,
welcome back, heard since Feb 18, explain what happened? She repeats
briefly what said last week, and makes a point again that there is now
only one ``political`` program, on Fridays: I guess that would be the
`Foreign Policy` one which just repeated today. 7) Christer Brunström,
Sweden, TV audio on SW was not a good idea, she agrees. 2329 a song.

2333, 8) Lithuania, report for QSL. 9) Chris? from Canada; 10) Chris
Campbell [Ohio], says VOT his favorite station, has been SWL since
1986 and plans to visit Turkey soon; 11) Mike? from Belgium. 12)
Harold -?, Boston. 13) Guy? Atkins, USA. 2342 contact info, closing
song from Azerbaijan, singer with guitar. 2347 Letterbox outro. Then
some other talk I missed instead of music fill. 2352 s/off as if 1330
