** BRAZIL. WOR indian ocean group reply to my 4885 obs: ``Glenn, I
checked the Brasília Kiwi SDR around 0445 UT March 12 and no sign of
RCdPará on 4885. The reactivation just for soccer matches idea sounds
plausible. At the same time via Brasília I’m hearing Rádio
Inconfidência on both 6010 and 15190, as well as RVM on 9665 and
11750, but 5940 still missing. Extremely distorted Rádio Brasil
Central on 11815 but nothing on // 4985. Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2286)

** CUBA. RHC A25 schedule from March 9 until November, is much
curtailed, other original blox blank, showing only:

Spanish
Americas       11-14 & 23-05  6000
Buenos Aires   12-15 & 23-05 15230
Mesa Redonda   22-23 6000 [TV audio, M-F only]

English to NAm 00-06 6000 [contradixion: also as Spanish above]
Portuguese SAm 22-23 15230 --- and that is all!
(RHC via Chris Campbell, OH)

Takes account of change to UT-4, as a Running Dog of Yankee
Imperialism, from March 9, same DST date as in Little Havana FL (Glenn
Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2286)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1549.82, March 13 at 0507 UT, into Querétaro SDR,
songs in English from some UStation, but also het on low side JBA ---
and JBV on the waterfall when enlarged. Much too weak to pull any mod
from it even by LSB tuning. By 0557 it`s a bit louder and sharper. At
0611 direct, same het/signal JBA on 1549.82.

Now I`m also intrigued by the 1550.0 UStation, as most of them except
very far ones, run under 100 watts at night, even in the single
digits, allegedly. 1550 ran thru 0600, no ID at 0602 but another
song.

Daytime at 1645 UT March 13 into Qro SDR there is a weak line on 1550
as about -16 Hz, but inaudible.

BTW, IRCA Mexican Log 2024 showed two more on 1550, both CPs and
presumably not yet on air, XECCAW in Jalisco, XECSGC in QRoo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. (6185), see previous report, continued monitoring of R
Educación stream supposedly for 6185, really IDing as 107.9 FM, their
outlet in Mérida, Yucatán, at 0139 March 13, otherwise nothing but
jazz music after 0000, until 0200 long newscast until 0230, on sked as
`Pulso de la Noche` on some of their outlets but not on 6185 sked,
followed by another 107.9 ID and back to music. Replies to my earlier
report:

``Glenn, at a check around 0515 UT March 13 no sign of XEPPM Radio
Educación on 6185 here in Houston. I recall two previous outages
lasted a couple of weeks. At least Canada’s last SW broadcaster CFRX
still audible on 6070 at the same hour. Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas``

``Hi Glenn, When clicking the on-line audio streaming for 6185 kHz.
Onda Corta, it played audio of a different station -
https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/emisorasre
6185 still off the air March 13, at 0635 UT, via Kiwi SDR remote at
Palomar Mt. (#2), Calif. Ron Howard, Monterey, Calif.`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2286)

** U A E. 15420.1+ approx., March 13 at 1445, JBA carrier
off-frequency, as expected it`s this site, sked 1400-1500 M-F only in
BBC Somali. At other hours, BBC on 15420 via Ascension or Madagascar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8992 USB, March 13 at 0038, USAF crypto exercise message,
this time with an echo one-word-delayed, so two sites with a satellite
or internet connexion? S9+20 here and other //s not checked as I copy
the entire message fonetikaly as he say again:
HJEYPOGD7UJE2N7LG6A7PI2LU647GF - then ``this is Newband? Newman?
Out``. All it takes is one little fade to miss the tactical callsign
which is not spelt nor repeated immediately. However, retune at 0051,
a totally different crypto msg but not copied, no echo? sounds like
same ID, out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday March 13 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9/+20 into Bonaire, but JBA

** CANADA. 2598 USB & 2749 USB, March 12 at 0645 UT, NO signals from
Canadian CG marine weather stations in NL and NS. DST did begin in
most of Canada on March 9 same as the other 48 states, ha ha, and we
had been hearing these after 0737 so it seems VCO, VCP et al., are
sticking to UT scheduling. Rather than a real hour earlier (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 650 kHz, March 12 at 0702 UT, very occasional JBA
whooping under WSM. There are a Progreso and a Rebelde on 650 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1549.82 kHz, March 12 at 0649, still JBA carrier hetting
1550 stations believed to come from XEREL, Morelia, Mich. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, March 12 at 0631, XEPPM is OFF! Still off at 0917.
México`s last SW station, R. Educación, hope not gone for good. Had
been reliable late at night, and hardly anything else above 6115;
6160- WBCQ has been drastically curtailed with the departure of TOMBS.
WRTH 2025 shows no callsign for 6185, but Señal Cultura México, 1.4 kW
at 22-12 UT. EiBi agrees on the hours, but Aoki shows 21-10. There are
no longer any DST shifts in most of Mexico. At 2232 I try the KiwiSDRs
in MexCy XE1AF, and Qro: nothing on 6185.

At the bottom of this page there is a 6185 program schedule dated
March 2025, a lot of blanx, but only between 17 and 24 local time =
23-06 UT. After 06 SW must have been relaying one of their other
stations:
https://radioeducacion.edu.mx/carta-programatica-del-mes
There are also play linx further down page including one for 6185,
which does play music at 2305, but suspect is not a live feed.
https://s2.mexside.net/cp/widgets/player/single/?p=8178
So anything to hear after 2300 UT March 12? At 2301, 2307, 2325, still
nothing on 6185 to either XE remote. At 2344, nothing to Qro tho a
thin line on 6180 from Brasil is showing. At 2342 I sent them this
message on contacto form:

``Anoche después de la medianoche del miércoles, en mi propio receptor
de OC en Oklahoma, ni esta tarde después de las 17 HCM, nada en 6185
por remotos en CDMX y Qro. Es una emisora predilecta para mí. Espero
que su última emisora de OC de México pueda volver al aire tan pronto
como posible. Favor de explicarme qué pasa? Saludos.`` (Guillermo
Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 95.5, March 12 at 1946 UT into caradio, non-ID
as K95, then Tulsa ad. So this is KWEN, 100/100 kW in Tulsa, but per
WTFDA FM DB, it`s `K-95 FM` but the hyphen was *not* pronounced.
Adding to the confusion are two other 95.5 around here only, with
almost same branding! KITX, 50/50 kW in far Hugo, SE Oklahoma, `K95.5
FM` both country; and KAHE, 100/100 kW, Dodge City KS, `Super Hits
K95` no hyphen, i.e. Classic Hits format. At least there are no
further ones if respelt ``Kay/95`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0644 UT, DDP San Juan/DoraDo
beacon is JBA, always a welcome sign of good propagation, the only one
outside N America I ever hear. DXinfocentre.com and RNA Signals List
continue to conflict about its power, 1000 vs 2000 watts resp. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11730, March 12 at 0625, RRI concluding French with
satellite and contact info, and IS, S9+20, SSOB way above e.g. France
11700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Mar 12 at 2308, token English from SNR is finally
back on its ME frequency, S9/+10 backwards into Maryland SDR, almost
as good as NAm 9690, S9+10/20; 17715 or SAm also VG S9/+15, but 17755
for Af JBA S5/S7. 12030 axually resumed March 11, a non-English
Tuesday, as reported by JRX in Brasil. Topic at 2315 today something
about the treatment of human remains in museums (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004, March 12 at 2255, S9+35/40 into
UTwente, VOT IS & IDs in English, not off the air today unlike
yesterday, nor was 9610 in extraneous Italian at 2235, just Mongolian
from China. 2300 TS and s/on as if it`s 1330 on 13635 and into olds;
no time to listen further today, as I am checking XEPPM et al.; until
2344 when the multi-lingual ID filler reel is playing. 2346 music.
2351 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, awry, a little earlier than usual and
IS plays for a while atop the Chinese understation until uncovered at
2355.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0645 UT, ND beacon HRU is JBA.
Finally confirmed not off the air, but much weaker than it used to be:
25 watts at Herington KS. RNA signals list had it last logged
2024-12-29 so maybe had been off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, March 12 at 0645 UT, ND beacon FQ, 25 watts at
`Montz` Fairmont MN. Sometimes hear the much closer 25 W, PK at
Olathe/Herbb KS, but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: ``Richard Lemke,
St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, From the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF (30 years of service), Antenna: random
long wires in the trees. WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2285,     Missed

2357, 2358 (4-55433), 2359, March 11 UTC 2025 [Wed](Lemke, Richard

Confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S5/S7 into Valley
City ND SDR, more or less in direxion aimed.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 12 at 2043 the 2030 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.003-, S9/+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 13 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -76 Hz =
7489.924, S9/+15 into NH SDR; following gospel huxter at 2057,
presumably TOMBS like  9930 WTWW, cut off at 2059 for ID. Again, no
more Pirate Joe`s Extravaganzo just before us. See separate entry.
Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;

** U S A. 7489.924, Wed Mar 13 at 2057, TOMBS gospel huxter on WBCQ
instead of `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` as still on outdated WBCQ sked,
nor was he on last week. What about the other alleged times? Not
``EST`` but UT here: M-F 20-21, Tue also 19-20, with this blurb:

``To quote an article written about Pirate Joe in Roll Magazine: "The
Pirate Joe Country Music Radio Show and Old Blues and R&B
Extravaganzo" features music from the vintage collection and airs
Tuesday through Thursday from 3-6 PM. J.P. is never afraid to provide
a more left-leaning viewpoint to counter the roar of the AM right as
well. "Look, the rules of the game are, if you're doing anything
worthwhile, you're probably not going to make money at it. It's
inversely proportional. If you're doing garbage, you are going to get
rich. And as we become more of a corp-tatorship, that trend is only
going to get worse." Might as well just enjoy the music, then. And
with Pirate Joe the music is always a blend of truly Classic American
Music that you rarely get to hear and will always appreciate and
enjoy`` -- JP and AW go way back, but one wonders if AW`s dedication
to Free Speech reaches its limit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock messages me circa 2225 UT March 12
that #2 transmitter is back in service, so if nothing further happens,
should be going for WOR UT Sat 0300 on 5085. Still no return to 9475,
it seems. 5085 not yet on the air today by 2400, but should be later
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, March 12 at 0704 UT, WABC NYC disclaimer and singing ID
overcoming KKOB NM, normally dominant here with its 12.5 kW ND STA.
Are they restoring ballooned tower to resume U2 50/50 kW protecting
WABC? The 230-watt 770 at night relay in Santa Fe is reported out of
synch with ABQ, but I never hear an echo. It ought not to be necessary
while on ND STA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 830, March 12 at 0707 UT, dead air from WCCO, but only for a
minute or so from tune-in, whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1460 kHz, March 12 at 0651 UT, plug Fox Sports Radio via
iHeart app. Most likely KXNO Des Moines IA, U2 5/5 kW, NE/SW at night.
I was listening for Punjabi or something Asian, as KBRZ, Missouri City
[Houston] TX has been reported from Washington state, U1 5000/125
watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1510 kHz, March 12 at 0654 UT, two stations clashing at
equal levels, one with `C2CAM`, the other sports talk. At night, clear
channel WLAC Nashville TN should own the frequency, as most other
1510s in mid-America must be daytimers only. At 0659 one of them
mentions 94.5 FM: Bingo, that`s KCTE Independence MO, 10 kW DAYTIMER
direxional SSW right toward us. 94.5 is a mere translator K233DM of
``ESPN Kansas City``. WLAC is the C2CAM affiliate per NRC AM Log
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.56 kHz, March 12 at 0706 UT, JBA carrier still
hetting 810.0 WHB KC, MO. I`m going to keep logging this and reporting
it until I, or someone can help pin it down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1680 kHz, March 12 at 0652 UT, deadair atop weakers,
presumably my closest and dominator, KRJO Monroe LA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3312.0, March 12 at 0633-0637 UT, weak carrier, and more
just like it approx. 3280.6, 3296.3, 3359.2, i.e. about 15.75 kHz
apart. Bingo: No doubt radiation from some analog TV set, maybe
neighbor. All sets in this house are ``off`` but some plugged in, so
in standby mode; 15.734 as explained here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/2mszh4/whats_up_with_this_spike_at_around_157khz_on_the/?rdt=56556
These would be harmonix in the 200+ range! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4885, March 12 at 0917 UT awaken check, JBA carrier,
presumably Korea as Brasil should be much stronger if on at all (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 12 at 0621, again the open carrier except
for regular clix, S8/S9 direct. Unlike before when the clix were
exactly every second, now they are timed at about 21 per minute, and
audible out to 9221/9251 or +/- 15 kHz. What is this? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

Sorry, I was in too big a hurry and omitted the subject line. Since that causes bounces by some recipients, here is the whole thing again. Glenn
** BRAZIL. 4885, March 10 at 2348, no signal from R. Clube do Pará
into three remotes, Pardinho, Brasília, Goiânia, nor a couple hours
later. Checking because of this item in NASWA Flashsheet:

``4885 BRAZIL. Rádio Clube do Pará, Belém, 3.6.25. weak but in the
clear here at 1010 well before the Korean fades in to take over the
fqy a little later on. OM with extended talks in PP. Nice to hear
again. Checked their website stream just to make sure and indeed //
(Ralphus W Perry – IL) {Hasn’t been heard in some time. – Ed. Mark
Taylor}``

Still nothing direct at 0638 March 11 on 4885. But happened to awaken
March 11 at 1011 UT and found a signal on 4885, S9+5, mostly talk with
some music bits, too weak to be certain of language but seemed more
like Portuguese than Korean.

Pará used to be all-night and should be on prime-time if serious. I`ve
brought this to attn of Rudolf Grimm, who recently ran a list of
active ZYs, not including this one. His reply:

``Hi Glenn, I'll take a look. I checked on the Rádio Clube do Pará
website and found that the only frequency currently in use is FM
(106.9 MHz).

I remember reading a while ago about the deactivation of RCP for both
medium waves (690 kHz) and the tropical band (4885 kHz).

It was made official. But the website doesn't mention use of MW and
tropical bands. There is no current positive reference on the Tudo
Radio website, nor on radios.com.br. It only mentions FM
transmission.

Based on your information, the recent listening time of RCP in
tropical waves coincides with the usual time of football matches in
Brazil.

{?? No, that was around 7 am local --- gh}

However, there is one fact to consider in this aspect that you report:
for some time now, we have had the occasional resurgence of Rádio
Cultura de Araraquara, 3365 kHz (remember this station?), even after
the deactivation of this frequency, on the days/nights of the
broadcast of soccer matches of Ferroviária FC, the city's main sports
team, only during the game times. At the end of the match, the 90 m
transmitter was put back to sleep until the next match of this team.

Today, March 11, the main team of Belém, Remo FC, plays tonight
against the team Criciuma FC, in a match for the 2025 Brazilian
Championship - Series C.
It is possible that the frequency of 4885 kHz will be used
extraordinarily. There is no reliable information. It is worth
observing from 2040 UTC to 0200 UTC today, according to the portal:
https://radioclube.dol.com.br/
73, Rudolf`` 4885, March 11 at 2242, nothing on 4885 into Brasília SDR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHAD [non]. 9535, March 11 at 0647, S4/S6 with flutter, music and
talk in uncertain language but one of better signals on band. EiBi
shows R. Ndarason International, in Kanuri via Woofferton UK, at
0600-0700. Similar signal quality on 9790, RFI from Issoudun (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 15130, March 10 at 2058, S7/S9 in Japanese, OOFSOB =
one of few signals on band. It`s NHK via FRANCE to CAf at 19-21 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. ``FCC Grants & Actions for Monday March 10: K288FX 105.5
North Enid OK Silent 1/30, antenna system failure`` (via Mike Bugaj,
CT, WTFDA) Yes, still off as of March 10 and so is 91.1 KKRD at same
site in North Enid [non =  plain old Enid downtown], but nothing about
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893+, March 11 at 2037, Rep. of Yemen Radio,
Arabic, still with heavy buzz. Ed Sylvester explains on the WOR iog:
``I live in Riyadh and have had meetings with SBA. At that time (early
2024), they were on the fence as to whether to continue.

The transmitters/antennas are currently in a sector of Riyadh that has
been designated for future housing projects. Hence, the government
will either fund a move or have them shut down permanently.

Because there has not been funding to date, they are cannibalizing
older transmitters for replacement parts to at least keep Yemen radio
on the air.

Saudi Arabia is in the midst of full bore modernization in all sectors
and DAB+ has been touted as the new medium for widespread
broadcasting. They also rely on high-powered MW broadcasters that can
be heard throughout the region.

The future of SW broadcasting seems bleak in KSA as surveys of
listenership have been spotty and unconvincing. Will know more in the
coming months. Fingers crossed. 73, Ed 7Z1ES`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Mar 10 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG into
Maryland SDR, better than 17715 better than 17755 much better than
nothing on 12030. Preview topic to be about Irish in Madrid
celebrating St Patrick`s Day already all week, not just Saturday? That
would be Ides of Mar, 15. First news item about debating defending
Ukraine; 2306 into feature (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 10 at 2259, NO signal from VOT into UTwente;
possible overrun alternative, 9610, bears Mongolian from China only.
By 2320, 5960 has a bigsig S9/+10, but it`s Chinese, as Urumqi starts
at odd time of *2310 per Aoki. Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9610.022+, March 11 at 2250, S9+40 into UTwente with VOT
multi-lingual ID filler reel, nothing on 5960. 2252 s/off in Italian!
That must be on the web at 2230, but the only Italian SWBC is supposed
to be at 0930-1000 on 11970, per WRTH! Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. Considerable CCI from China making a rippling SAH. 2253 VOT
IS plays until finally off at 2257*. Still no signal on 5960 but I`m
QRX on it:

*2258 March 11, 5959.999- cut on at S9+40/45 with IS and English ID.
2300 TS and s/on English as if it were 13635 at 1330: something`s
always awry at Ankara. And into olds, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Monday
March 10 at 2030.6 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003-, S9/+10 into
UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday March 11 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/30 into
S Texas SDR.

S6/S8 direct.

Also confirmed Tuesday March 11 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.997-, S9/+5 into UTwente. Between their ID and start of WOR,
there was something extraneous about cyclone hitting Mozambique.

** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock advises me March 11 that the #2
transmitter started smoking as some caps were burning. Will replace
them and hope 5085 if not 9475, to be back on air today or tomorrow.
9930 WWCR-1 nominal at 2306 check with TOMBS moanin` & groanin` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1700 kHz, March 11 at 0657 UT, ``1700 The Champ`` and 101.3.
That`s KBGG Des Moines IA, the FM a mere translator (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21580, March 10 at 2054, S6/S8 open carrier is the OSOB,
except for again some DRMish noise centred on 21485. Nothing in HFCC,
EiBi or Aoki, suspect China for both. RFI does use 21580 a lot, but
not between 19 and 07 UT. The 13m SWBC band is drastically
underutilized, even now circa solar max. I`ve noticed some
intermittent SSB within too, intruders or mistuned hams? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
