** 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
to be roots of Spanish astronomy - or rather gastronomy upon
quickcheck at 2322, interviewee with a very heavy accent (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28470 USB, March 3 at 2145, quick contacts among domestic
hams, refers to hfqso.com which shows contacts on many different bands
and frequencies but this is the starter on 10m (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** 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
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 93.5, March 3 at 2050 UT on caradio, `Thunder Country`, as
tropo is enhancing a fringer, KKDT, Burdett KS, close, in WTFDA FMDB

``Thunder 93.5`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

OK, WOR)

Something`s always wrong at (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

probably from XEREL, Morelia, Michoacán (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, March 3 at 1545, not even a JBA carrier
from the pirate, ex-Hikari FM, nor have I perceived it for several
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
of Yemen Radio, 1700, 26 Feb. ARABIC: Military sounding music.
Slightly high from nominal 11935. Fluttery signal, fair quality
`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002, Sunday March 2 at 2300, VOT English not off the
air, S9+40/45 into UTwente, s/on with date, and news. Next check 2317
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
on 13635: awry. 2353 IS. 2356 restart IS with German IDs: erroneous.
0000 March 3 timesignal and German s/on. 0010 same `Letterbox` theme
now called `Briefkasten`. Keeps going in German, but by 0016 I notice
Chinese only, which has been uncovered sounding just as strong as VOT
was (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, March 3 at 1540, KMK282, aux of KOVR, only S5
and far from full quieting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Hey Glenn: The UNID 840 KHz is likely KVJY - the station
frequently plays Spanish religious music at night (of many genres).
73, Mike Beu, KD5DSQ, Austin, Texas`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Glenn, with local KLAT 1010 on a daytime only STA
operation the past nine months, I have heard WJXL on numerous
occasions at night here in Houston. I have also wondered about their
pattern being out of whack. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (via Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, March 3 at 0712, S9 but noisy music from R. Vanuatu
reactivated, but not on 9960 before 0659. Ron Howard confirmed them
back  on 7260 earlier this date via remote, no change at 0659. And he
says still on 7260 at 1908+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [non?]. 13830 at S9+20 // 15565 S9+30, March 3 at 1539, VR
in Somali, usual conundra, as each is the SSOB except for USA 13820,
13845, 15150, and hardly anything else from Europe, so are these SMG
aiming the wrong way, or really back from MADAGASCAR? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15022 USB, March 3 at 1541, 2-way in Spanish JBA, many
``cambio``s; Klingenfuß 2022 shows AMS for this frequency, no further

** CANADA. 6754 USB, March 2 at 0342, Trenton Military, still ``no
report received`` from Shearwater, Greenwood, Gander, Halifax; and for
good measure repeated several times. Anyone ever hear CHR now with any
reports received? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 11635, March 2 at 0750, choral music at S9, nothing
listed now in Aoki, EiBi, or HFCC. 0800 VOK IS, Russian? announcement,
heavy Korean accent, and anthem, but also CCI from something else; and
ACI from 11640 which would be CRI in Cantonese. EiBi & Aoki do show
11635 as a VOK/KCBS frequency but only at 1800-2350. WRTH does show
Russian at 0700-0900 but on 11735! mispunched entry or changed? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11550.9, March 2 at 0359, music at S9/+10 with a
het from 11550.0, axually not sure which one music be on. Presumably
the TurcoKurdo radiowar, Dengê Gel via ARMENIA and Turkish jammer,
starting at 0400 per EiBi; could be anywhere in the 11.5s (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 AM, March 2 at 0341, S9/+10 but hardly any
modulation audible in noise level. A few logs here as Boat Anchor
Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141683.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 9920 USB, March 2 at 0357, S8/S9 music, would take
for discovering a licensed NF if it were not in SSB; Soon YL ID as Mix
Radio International, still at 0417 but off by 0430. Then I see it had
been heard as early as 0142 first on 9907, and off at 0416(?) per:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141672.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9545, March 2 at 0353, vocal music, soon RRI ID in
Spanish, then presenting their entire B24 SSSked dated 27/10/24 to
29/3/25, S9+20/30 and then find weaker // on 9740 only S9+10/20. 9545
is Galbeni at 310 degrees for CIRAF 10, much closer to thisaway than
9740, Tsiganeshti at 247 degrees for CIRAF 14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, March 2 at 0740 UT, two ND beacons mixing at
about equal levels. Among the letters are P, Q, F and K. Those fit
for: FQ, Fairmont MN, and PK, Olathe/Herbb KS, both 25 watts. RNA list
shows periods for each: FQ `Montz` Fairmont MN, 7.941 seconds; PK
Olathe KS, 5.976 sex, i.e. 8 vs 6 seconds, so eventually they will
alternate but not much of a pause by either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2284 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
March 1 starting at 2039 the 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20 into
nearby SDR.

stream.

Also confirmed UT Sunday March 2 from 0503 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM MO,
S8/9+10 into Georgia SDR, the 0415v following ARRL News from 0449,
which followed Houston AMSAT net running way late as often. Next:

** U S A. 1010 kHz, March 2 at 0411 UT, ``go, Gators``, Gainesville
Chevrolet ad, Gators Basketball, who won 89-70, more local ads,
``10-10 XL`` non-ID, so it`s certainly WJXL, JaXonviL Beach FL, U4
50/30 kW. Seems its night pattern is still way out of whack, atop
channel a kilomile to the west instead of all-out eastward into the
Atlantic. Hey, thataway they couldn`t cover Gainesville! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040 & 1080, UT Sunday March 2 at 0414 UT, both WHO and KRLD
ads/promos within `Our American Stories`, but not //. One of the
better shows on AM talk radio, I think. If I could ever spare a
nighthour, might listen to it.
https://www.ouramericanstories.com/affiliates
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 9510, March 2 at 0351, S9+10/20 of bells and drumming,
very repetitive like a loop, IS, or filler? Quite pleasant, axually.
Last thing I would have guessed is VOA Somali via SMG at 0330-0400 -
so yet another example of Popesite pushing far too much signal in the
opposite direxion; and violating Separation Of Church And State (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 840, March 2 at 0410 UT, Mexmx dominating on N/S
antenna, and hardly any WHAS on the E/W loop. Figured it would be the
TX, KVJY Pharr but it`s supposedly religious. None of the three XEs
seem likely either. Soon WHAS redominates (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

From now and for an unknowntime, at least for 3 years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs forDXing. Recently we moved from the village back to the city in a space thatprohibits the use of desktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise inthe LMHF bands. The radio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we runpolitically lively condition with always very interesting twits every day ..
