Pas, Manitoba with 500 watts. Tuning up from 30 kHz, this is the first
beacon audible! Not to mention no LWBC stations.

300 kHz, March 2 at 0718, dash and YOG, NDB from (where else?) Ogoki
Post, Ontario, 500 watts. That`s certainly a new one here calling for
looking up that place. Not in my Rand McNally but coÃrdinates put it
just about in the center of the province between Pickle Lake and James
Bay; in the Marten Falls First Nation; ICAO: CYKP.

332 kHz, March 2 at 0720, dash and QT, a kilowatt NDB from Thunder

off at 0702*. 6000 & 6060 & 6100 already off. 5025 Rebelde is S9+20

detected at 13728.288, 13756.586, 13671.716 and circa 13643.2, too
weak to pinpoint, i.e. plus and minus ~28.28 kHz multiples so
obviously spewing out from 13700 transmitter. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165 & 6000, March 3 at 0139, both RHC English are S9+20 and

** U S A [and non]. 620, March 2 at 0709 UT, Spanish as previously
discovered from KEXB The Metroplex, overnight, giving phone numbers,
and 0732 mentions versÃculos, so these clues lead me to believe that
Radio Oasis is in fact religious, without having to listen to it much.
(OK has an Oasis network of gospel-huxtering in English, unrelated?)
but listening to it much now is difficultized by heavy QRM from
something with C&W music; what could that be on 620? NRC AM Log shows
only one US C&W station: KWAL Wallace ID, 1/1 kW U2. But far more
likely it`s CKRM Regina, 10/10 kW U4, which I have heard before. Did
not try to DF it, but would be roughly opposite from KEXB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880-DSB, March 2 at 0736 UT, vigorous dance music in the
nightmiddle in Spanish, including ``ÂÂÂvivan los programadores, vivan
los locutores, vivan los bailadores!!! 0739 ``La Tremenda, 8-80, La
Raza``. Dominant signal despite KRVN, and certainly not KHAC-USB,
rather the ``Race`` station, WIJR, Highland IL (St Louis mkt),
1700/160 watts U4 --- probably day facilities. I wonder how much it
cut into WCBS` protected coverage area? 843 miles apart (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, March 3 at 0137, VOV news in Englishish.
Apparently this is not a mistake instead of Spanish. Peter W Hansen,
FL, says ``All of the broadcasts at 0130 UT that I have heard since
the beginning of the B18 season have been in English. First broadcast
is at 25 degrees for the northeast [0000]. Second broadcast is at 160
degrees to the south [0100]. And this third broadcast at 260 degrees
to the southwest.`` Indeed this one is very strong from WHRI,
S9+30/40. I guess that leaves Spanish at 0030 only, but at times I had
heard English during that semihour too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. 3455-USB, March 3 at 0125, JBA air-ground comms in noise
level mentioning nautical miles, flight levels. EiBi lists as New

** CANADA [and non]. 6070-, March 2 at 0327, CFRX with medium-fast
SAH, maybe about 10 Hz, as CFRX is always offset slightly-minus, but
what else could there be? Channel 292 Germany could be 24 hours, but
Manuel MÃndez, Spain has reported that ``eclipsing`` CFRX sometime

ha2; 5910, CRI English relay is S9+30 of JBM; 6000 RHC English is
undermodulated somewhat distorted; 6165 RHC English is less
undermodulated and not distorted; 6060 RHC Spanish is *off*.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat March 2 at 0100, WBCQ webcast with bits of
music and silence as if trying to bring up the wrong feeds; finally
`William Tell Overture` starts and then lo-fi audio as A&A interject.
Says they just flew down from Bangor ME to Sanford FL, so they must
have skipped the Winter SWL Fest along the way near Philadelphia.

At 0121 checking the SW frequencies: 7490.2 is VP; 9330.17 is VP but
identifiably // AWWW; 3264.9 JBA carrier of unknown content; 5130.48
is VP best of the lot but with something else.

I hope John Carver heard more of it; he already reports as of 0140:

``Tonight's AWWW --- Music, dead air, station promo before the top of
the hour, dead air, snippet of music, dead air, music snippet and then
the familiar theme starts. Both Allan and Angela doing voice overs
during the theme. Poor signal on 7490. Allan and Angela flew to FLA
this morning and are doing the show from there this evening. Mr.
Transistor Norm called at 0107. Lost the signal at 0108. 5130 has the
militia, no signal on 9330 so I end up on 3265 again. Fair signal and
then it almost sounds like the transmitter went down and was
restarted. then the noise came up making it difficult to copy. By 0116
I can copy nothing on either frequency. After the previous weekend's
terrible 26 hour windstorm with gusts as high as 65 mph I checked all
the antennas this week and the only one that didn't survive was the TV
antenna. So I guess it's Allan Weiner only in certain areas instead of
world wide. John, Mid-North Indiana``.

Meanwhile I was wondering if there would be any live broadcasts from
the Fest: I asked Larry Will if there will be any (non-pirate); he
replies:

``Jane and I are planning to be live from the Fest Sunday 0100-0200
UTC on 5130 and the Area 51 webcast. Lw`` i.e. Saturday night

I also asked Jeff White of WRMI, and he replied, no, not this year,
but he is there recording a bunch of interviews which will be on
Wavescan next weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490), March 2 at 0248, I notice that the WBCQ webcast I
had up earlier for AWWW is still running with someone talking; so I
listen in: It`s about the Unity Bible Fundamentalist Church planning
its very own ``DMR``-only SW transmitters, the next big thing, as a
second ``free speech`` station like WBCQ but reaching parts of the
world it does not: western US, Russia, China, India, Europe.

Huh? WBCQ 500 kW and rotatable antenna expects to cover everywhere
from Maine. Appeals for funds, anything from $ 1 to $ 5000 welcome ---
hey, if Brother Starr [sic] and Scriptures for America can raise
hundreds of thousands for SW broadcasts, why not? Altho he ``hates
money``, and will get this done, even without major financial support.

Says he already got a positive response from FCC. Keeps referring to
``DMR``, but slips once calling it ``DRM``. Needs to be on SW, since
he is banned from FB, Twitter and other social media. This turns out
to be Pastor Cody Serafeld(?), and a sidekick, from a ``little bitty
church`` in Conroe TX, on the `Far Right Radio Show` --- so as a Free
Speech station, he will certainly welcome the Far Left! The FRRS still
has not achieved any visibility on the WBCQ program sked; UT Sat 02-04
on 7490 still shows as `Dead Frog Radio` which has passed away.

Still listening to webcast, at 0301 the standard WBCQ sign-off, so I
guess the 7490+ transmitter was still running if inaudible here. And
after that still more music on the webcast, at least.

At 0324, 5130.43 is still on JBA trace of modulation, with what? The 5
MHz unit has been showing up at unexpected times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Make that 1470.065 or so for the computed fundamental, not 1470.65; fixed:

UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.129, March 1 at 0049, JBA carrier presumed second
harmonic from some LAm or NAm broadcaster on 1470.065 or so. Another
measurement March 1 at 0658 puts it on 2940.132. Others closer and/or
with better antenna gain and/or with less noise should be able to ID
this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Feb 28 at 1539, RHC carrier off and on and off and on.
When it comes back, dead air at first, then music modulation re-
applied. 11760 also dead Feb 28 at 1543 before music cuts on.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. During brief 15140 offnesses,
probably a trace of OMAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13780, March 1 at 1510, RHC still on but undermodulated; off
by 1525 check when 13700 is S9+30 of dead air; 15700 CRI relay at 1510
is undermodulated but not distorted, sufficient with volume up. 15140
at 1526, RHC is dead air, while 15230 is undermodulated. Somethings
are always wrongs at RHC/RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11820.02, Feb 28 at 2240, SRI/SBA Qur`aning
poor signal but enough to lullabye my nap, until abrupt chopoff at
2300* -- Allah`ll get`em for that?

Trying again March 1 at 2220 for a more precise reading, SA is JBA, vs
another even weaker carrier closer to 11820.00 --- since nothing is
scheduled there, suspect it is a second-order spur from 11840 RHC,
doubled beyond the constant first-order one on 11830.

While checking 11820 in EiBi, I see an adjacent interesting entry:
``11825.5 1300-1330 HKG FEBC Radio Liangyou KHA Tib /PHL-b``
i.e. a Hong Kong ``station`` in the Khams dialect of Tibetan via FEBC
Bocaue, Philippines site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LSTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, Thu Feb 28 at 2236, REE VG S9+10 discussing The
Virgin Mary in Spanish, monogamy, alternating with ARABIC --- not
clear which one is translating the other originally; but not // 11945
& 9690 in Castilian only. WRTH 2019 mentions that REE webcasts in
Arabic, but does not show any SW schedule for it; and nothing at all
about Spain in the Feb 4 update.

12030 is the ME-beam frequency which nevertheless arrives here well
off the back (sometimes propagating better than 9690 direct). EiBi
does not show any Arabic either, but there is Sephardic/Ladino Sundays
only at 2230-2300 on 12030. WRTH asterisks that as a cutaway from
Spanish at same time on all four frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
