** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9535 // stronger 9730, March 25 at 1935,
Chinese music fill during scheduled `Portuguese` hour, via Baoji and
Kashgar sites per EiBi, and 9730 with an understation in French, which
would be Vietnam, all into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ITALY [and non]. 10000, March 25 at 1945 UT, bit of music, `Dance
of the Hours` -- get it? A.k.a. ``hello Mudda, Hello Fadda``, and time
pips, announcements in Italian from the ``amateur`` timesignal station
calling itself Italcable, which was really the name of the
point-to-point SW service years ago. Same music bit in following
minutes. Also surprised by some Morse code, starting WWV? Guess what,
WRTH does not include Italy in the STFT sexion on page 797. I suspect
this qualify as a pirate, seldom reported as such. Heard via UTwente.
Occasionally double-pips, so some other station is out of synch. 1959
QRM code ID from BPM China. 2000 full ID and contact info in Italian.
EiBi shows location as Andrate 45N31-07E53 -- which is in Torino
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH. 9424.998-, March 25 at 1919, S9+5/15 into UTwente, VOK
reciting its times and frequencies in English; trouble is, Aoki & EiBi
show this hour is supposed to be in German! Per WRTH, English at 19-20
is on 9875, 11635, 11910 and 7210 so I check those out during music
after 1923, and the first three sound the same, 7210 too poor, as is
6170, the other `German` frequency. Of course, all their music sounds
the same, but wires are crossed somewhere. At 1931, all except 6170
are perceptibly in English talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO [and non]. 800, March 25 at 0647 UT, heavy distortion QRMing
KQCV OKC gospel huxter, previously traced to XEERG, NL. Usually
audible at night, but worse than usual now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1549.82, March 25 at 0626, JBA carrier still perceived
hetting 1550 stations, presumably from XEREL Morelia, Michoacán (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1670, Mar 24 circa 2030 UT, Virtual DJ Radio webcast
relay via low-power, Part 15? transmitter somewhere in Enid, peaking
at junxion of US81 and US412, and audible whenever I`m in the area, or
even downtown on caradio. Doubtful it could be DXed at night, but it
would be challenging to try to pull it in as far away as possible on
daytime groundwave (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Mar 24 at 2030 UT, dead air in $ tereo still from LP
transmitter in downtown Enid, originally for the `Tree of Light`
sponsored by OG&E = the electric company, already two sesquimonths
after Xmas! Must be on 24/7 but no music heard lately, altho I only
check it for a minute every few days. As I pointed out to the CP
holder of KOKJ-LP, this will be an obstacle if he ever gets his 95.1
on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Mar 24 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG
S9+20/30 into Maryland SDR, starts with A25 sked from March 30 but
generalized only, no language details, not even English. Listeners
have to KNOW that it will likely be an hour earlier than now, at 2200
UT and on M/W/F only. Version of same new sked via AER:
``Esquema de emisiones para A-25 de Radio Exterior de España,
mayoritariamente en español:
0000-0200 17715 AM-S; 15500 AM-N (M a S)
1400-2300 15390 AF-O, ATL-S; 15520 OR-M, INDICO; 17715 AM-S; 15500
AM-N (S y D)
1500-2300 15390 AF-O, ATL-S; 15520 OR-M, INDICO (L a V)
1800-2400 17715 AM-S; 15500 AM-N (L a V)``
Note: will be on three 15 MHz channels within 130 kHz of each other,
not much frequency diversity! No more 17855 for NAm in A-seasons. OR-M
means East Middle; AF-O must mean Africa West, altho East would also
be -O +riental. Indico means Indian as in Ocean. Should we call it
`Indican Ocean`??
2302 finally news; 2307 contact info; 2308 feature about
non-binary-gender issue, interview with Barbara Whitman of University
of Illinois at Chicago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, March 24 at 2300, VOT English not off
the air, VG S9+30/40 into UTwente. In AM Synch mode it first read out
5959.993-, with a subaudible het, but switching to plain AM and back
to synch, now it reads out properly 10 Hz higher, why? No time to
listen today until 2356 recheck when it`s already off, replaced by pop
music from China, maybe even in English. This one closer to 5960.000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2287 monitoring: confirmed Monday
March 24 at 2050 the 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003-, S8/9+5 but
noisy into UTwente. From next week: 1930.
Also confirmed UT Tuesday March 25 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+40/50 into
S Texas SDR.
Also confirmed Tuesday March 25 at 1309 the 1300 on WRMI 9955, S8/9+5
direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday March 25 at 1411 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, S6/S8
direct. BTW, I have not perceived any jamming of 9955 for quite a
while, even before R. Martí was deleted. Next:
2100 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy;
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.
Financial support appreciated for our non-commercial public service
program: thanks for a generous contribution marking Vernal Equinox,
from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, by check on a US bank to Glenn
Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, and says, ``Many thanks for your
unique service to the world.``
One may also contribute not necessarily in US funds via PayPal to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330, Mar 25 at 0633, NO signal again from WBCQ WLCR; what`s
wrong? 9395 WRMI is there as usual. Still no 9330 circa 1550 and 1900,
to UTwente or GA or MD SDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 600, Mar 25 at 0643 UT, WMT Cedar Rapids IA
dominates as usual with C2CAM, but unusually there is QRM from another
C2CAM station *way* out of synch by many seconds. Possibilities in NRC
AM Log as of last August: KOGO CA, KCOL CO, WREC TN, KTBB TX. I think
we can rule out KOGO: besides distance, null thisaway. KCOL also null
thisaway. KTBB does have a lobe thisaway, and WREC is direxional SW.
Assuming everyone in spec, that leaves KTBB Tyler TX, which is also
closest (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1650 kHz, Mar 25 at 0637 UT, still tone of about 320 Hz,
probably from KSVE El Paso (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21705-21710-21715, Mar 24 at 1453, weak DRM noise is the
OSOB during degraded propagation. Yes, is on this sked:
https://www.drmrx.org/drm-broadcasts-shortwave-by-frequency/
``21710 TDF (France) 1500-1600 Irregular French Issoudun, France 100
263°Irregular DRM tests. Details unconfirmed.`` - Not in HFCC for B24,
however, HFCC for A25 shows 0500-1700, 150 kW at 110 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1549.82, Mar 24 at 0651, still detectable off-frequency
carrier hetting 1550.0 stations, presumed XEREL Morelia (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Sun Mar 23 at 2258, no signal from VOT
into UTwente, going to be another bust? Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler. But 2301 recheck, now it is on at S8+30/45 starting olds
with wildfires in South Korea; recheck 2322, about Lebanon`s PM
visiting Turkey. Now there is 6CI and hum; soon outro as `Pulse of
Turkey`s Foreign Policy`. 2324 `Letterbox` theme starting, same YL
hostess as usual, starts with a comment about an important matter -
Recep becoming even more of a dictator? Of course not! About VOA being
abolished as of 31 March. IHHO, SW radio is a brilliant way to
communicate, endures where other media fail.
Then calls listeners, almost? all of whom are after QSLs: 1) Francis
Multen?, Ireland, heard it in French. 2) Roman Ritnick?, Ukraine. 3)
Mr Alexander, Sweden. 2331, music break. 4) Mr Mei? Lin?, Sichuan,
China. 5) Aman - Bahin?, India, with SWL club since 1990, listener
since 1985. 6) Mr Aisohat?, Argentina. 7) Hidei? Miyaki, Hiroshina,
Japan, heard French service; Feb holidays in Turkey? Valentine`s Day
2/14, but not official. 8) last: Mr. Zhen -?-, China. 2340 reminds us
that new frequencies start 30/3, no details. 2344 playing song request
for someone`s significant other - on staff? 2347 L`box theme, outro.
2348 other music. 2353 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, something`s awry at
Ankara. 2354 IS a few times, off somewhat before 2356* uncovering East
Turkistan, std condemnation, own anthem at 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2287 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
March 23 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+ kHz, S9+10 into
UTwente across Europe. From next week: 1900.
Also confirmed Sunday March 23 at 2100 on WRN Europe webcast.
Also confirmed Sunday March 23 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003-, S8/9+5 into UTwente. From next week: 2130 on 3975 AND 6160.
See below.
Missed checking Sunday March 23 at 2330 on WRMIs 7570 & 7780; anyone
hear them? Probably.
Confirmed UT Monday March 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+20/40 into S
Texas SDR.
Confirmed UT Monday March 24 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast, already
started maybe a semiminute early. 5130- WBCQ is already playing music
until 0303*
Also confirmed Monday March 24 at 1848 halfway thru the 1830v on
SatZentrale webcast, so would have started about 1844. Next:
2030 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];
1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];

``ShortwaveRadio --- Hi Glenn, with every BC season, we are also
changing from CET to summertime (CEST) on 30th March. So, all your WOR
shows are minus one hour UTC. Plus, there will be the extra 6160 kHz
outlet during European evenings as follows:
2230 UT Friday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1430 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160;
1730 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160;
1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.
The latter 3975 is cancelled. A-25 general broadcast times:
6160 kHz: 0700 to 2200 UTC (09:00 to 00:00 CEST) - daily
3975 kHz: 1700 to 0000 UTC (19:00 to 02:00 CEST) - daily
Take care, Andy (Engineer - Shortwave Radio from Winsen on the river
Aller in Germany)``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7570, March 24 at 0638, dead air again like last two nights,
instead of TOMBS, S9+25/30 from WRMI-5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 15770, March 24 at 1455, no signal from WRMI-9
which is supposed to be on 24h, with SMTV during this hour; but there
is a signal on 17790, before sked *1500; unseems English. That would
be RRI in Romanian overlapping at 14-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 344 kHz, March 24 at 0628 UT, JBA carrier should be
strong enough to hear some MCW, but nothing. Maybe my closest, heard
before, JL in Joplin MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1650 kHz, March 24 at 0652, again tone of about 320 Hz
against 1650 stations, probably KSVE El Paso. A local listener could
confirm that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7656.0, March 24 at 0639, open carrier except for JBA
clickery roughly twice per second, but seemed to be separate even
weaker clix between them, S9+10/15 vs HSNL, which also difficultizes
determining extent of the clickspan, roughly 7642/7670 = +/- 14 kHz.
Yet another one ending in -6. What is this? In 2020 & 2022, 7656 was
among a long list of Civil Air Patrol frequencies, coincidental?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9162-9219, March 24 at 0644, multi-carrier, multi-tones
beating over this wide 57-kHz range, peaking S9+10 amid circa 9188.
What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 1855 UT March 24

** CANADA [and non]. 1650 kHz, March 23 at 0712 UT, S Asian music from
CINA Mississagua again has QRM from continuous tone of about 320 Hz,
probably KSVE El Paso USA. I wonder why in the world they do it, or
don`t even realize that`s on the air overnight? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, March 23 at 0345, RHC not off the air but S9+30/40 and
suptorted probably in English between dead airs. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. Also with JBA beepery QRM? on the plus side about 6001
at the rate of 108/minute (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ECUADOR. 6050, Sun Mar 23 at 0706, HCJB S7/S8 JBA in Spanish: I
suppose they are now running all-night? S/on had been at 0923 per
EiBi, first sesquihour+ in Quechua (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ETHIOPIA. 6030, March 23 at 0349, JBA carrier, presumably R.
Oromiya, which per EiBi starts at 0253. In the total absence of Cuban
jamming, OCB, and CFVP, now a clear shot at it with requiring a local
remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 660, March 23 at 0319, ``ABC Deportes, 660 AM y 92.1 FM;
sabemos cómo se juega`` -- so it`s XEFZ at the Mountain King again,
dominating from south with K index at 4, preceded by classic rock in
English, i.e. music, not sports! and followed by ``Can`t take my eyes
off of you`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6850 AM, March 23 at 0350 UT, pirate music with
heavy beat of 132/minute, dance/trance?, S9+10/20, the only pirate on
band. Per these, it`s Liquid Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,142591.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475 AM, March 23 at 0355, S9/+10 the thintonations
of Josiah on Station YHWH but no match for the noise level (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March 22 at 2305, no VOT signal into UTwente,
and at 2327 occupied only by the ChiCom. 9610, possible accidental
alternate not on air either, just ChiCom Mongolian. At 0440 UT March
23, the final English repeat of VOT totally missing too at UTwente
from 6125, 7285. Something`s very erroneous at Emirler: or maybe they
are too ashamed of censoring any news about Recep`s opponent to even
go on the air?
Via Zacharias Liangas, More about him here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekrem_%C4%B0mamo%C4%9Flu
In light of all this, should I quit so much monitoring of VOT? Better
at 0400 UT Sundays:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2287 monitoring confirmed Saturday
March 22 at 1947 about 14 minutes into so started about 1933 UT on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG into nearby SDR.
Also confirmed circa 0045 UT Sunday March 23 amid IRRS webstream only,
still at same winter timing of 0030. By next week could be an hour
earlier, or not quite into DST?
Also confirmed UT Sunday March 23 at 0324 about 14 minutes into at
midpoint so the 0315v started early circa 0310 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, JBA
in noise level direct, but VG via nearby remote. Next:

** U S A. 9330, March 22 at 2056, no signal from WLCR on WBCQ; what`s
wrong? Also no signal UT March 23 at 0035 into UTwente, while other
nominally weaker USigs quite audible at S7/S8 or S9 on 9265, 9395,
9930. Propagation has been degraded but surely not blacking out the
path just a bit further north. 9330 still AWOL at 0356 direct check.
Back on by 1608 check in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7490-, UT Sun March 23 at 0356, WBCQ S9+10/20, JP Ferraro is
still on now if not on weekday afternoons; `Shortwave Saturday Night`
at 0100-0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7780, UT Sunday March 23 at 0047, WRMI with `Frecuencia al
Día` instead of `Wavescan` as on my last DX/SWL/MEDIA programs
schedule, but now WRMI sked shows FAD at 0030, with WS before it at
0000. I was going to check what Jeff would say about the VOA/USAGM
situation. O well, there are about four dozen airings a week, mostly
on WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7570, UT Sun Mar 23 at 0357, WRMI in S9+20/30 of dead air
except for a few extraneous noises. Top of WRMI skedgrid shows System
G at this hour, but System G thinx it`s only on 9395. It`s System E
that claims this time on 7570 for TOMBS; it figures. And 7570 *still*
or again DA March 23 at 0703, S9+25 direct; while TOMBS is not dead on
7730, 7780, 5850, 5010?, WWCR 5890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7505, March 23 at 0356, WRNO is off already, or maybe not on
at all tonight, not checked earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 770, March 23 at 0332 UT, dominant signal with net talk
show, but break for a New Mexico ad, so KKOB is doing well for 12.5 kW
ND, stronger than its northerly neighbors on 760 & 780 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 900 kHz, March 23 at 0329 UT, station gives address as
casscountyradio@gmail.com, music. Guess what, ``Cass County is the
name of nine counties in the United States, each named for Michigan
governor, senator and presidential candidate Lewis Cass`` -- IL, IN,
IA, MI, MN, MO, NE, ND, TX. Who? When was that? {Democratic candidate
for president, 1848.} But only one has a radio station by that slogan,
per Google search, KALT, Atlanta TX, altho NRC AM Log says the 900
call there is KPYN and it`s silent! KALT is on FB however.
Radio-locator knows of only KALT-FM 106.5 in Alturas CA! Guess what:
FCC LMS agrees on the FM in CA, and also a DKALT in Atlanta TX whose
license was canceled almost 20 years ago! So is 900 now KPYN as per
NRC? Yes, in fact since 06/30/2000 per FCC LMS, and Cass County Radio
does not expire until 2029y. And it`s not silent now. Only 33 watts at
night! Don`t you believe it? 1000 day, U1. With so many stations,
excuse me, cheating on their legal night power, makes it impossible to
tally QRP DX catches or even records. If you ask the station and they
even answer, are they going to admit they were on day power?
Possibly, but if denied, can you believe that? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 1270, March 23 at 0338 UT, sportstalk in Spanish, carrier
cutting out irregularly - I think, rather than just the modulation.
Only fit is KFLC Benbrook [The Metroplex] TX, on TUDN network, U4 50/5
kW and heard before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1530, March 23 at 0340, Mexmx from N/S, vs WCKY E/W.
Probably KZNX Creedmoor TX as logged and discussed at length before
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1260, March 23 at 0335 UT, Spanish music from N/S, while
English from E/W. Probably one of the two SS Texans, rather than
weaker or further possibilities: KTAE Elgin TX U1 1000/144, or KLDS
Falfurrias TX U1 500/330 religious; but there are also four Mexicans
led by XEL in CDMX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALASKA [non]. 9884.939, March 22 at 1847, S9+10/20 ``Jesus Loves
Me`` in English by kidchoir, 1849 Russian ID as KNLS, New Life, and
talking about their languages, addresses, www.knls.net, mwv@gmail.com;
18-19 is via MWV MADAGASCAR`s off-frequency transmitter, off just
before 1859*. After 1900 its off-frequency switches to 9844.943 for
another hour in Russian but first song sounds like English.
Simul on 13670.003 in English as African Pathways Radio, mixing
African and American accents, at 1854, S9+10/20 both into UTwente.
13670 still on at 1900 for R. Feda in Arabic. Google translate decides
Feda in roman letters is Turkish, meaning sacrifice. If I say it`s
Arabic, then translates as silver -- I bet Turkish version is what
they mean (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. The DentroCuban Jamming Command was quicker than
expected in turning off all? its jammers following the deletion of R.
Martí by trumuskp. Last few days & nights, have not heard even any
residual off-sked jamming on 5980, 6030, 7355, 7435, 7465, 9565,
11860, 11930, 13820.
As for MW 1180, from Marathon in the Flakeys, it was previously
reported gone, but Terry L Krueger in the FL panhandle reported, March
18 at 1744: ``David Crawford, Indian River City, FL confirms Radio
Martí 1180 kHz Boot Key (Marathon), FL is still on the air.`` And at
1109 UT March 22, ``It remains on air from the Sister Creek Island
1180 kc/s 100 kW Florida site``. But is it really new/current program
content? Earlier, March 16 at 1944: TLK remarked, ``1180 kc/s Boot Key
(Marathon FL) and Greenville NC are now prime property for 55+
Margaritaville communities.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ECUADOR [and non]. 6050, March 22 at 0546, HCJB still on late again
with Spanish song, S9/+5 direct. I make a point of listening again
from 0556 to detect whether it clash with ELWA LIBERIA. Can`t make out
two modulations yet, but off-tuning with BFO can hear a beat by two
carriers a few Hz apart. By 0600 there does seem to be modmix. 0601
HCJB ID with music in background, so that`s ELWA? And into Bible
reading in Spanish, or at least something citing chapter and verse.
So they are colliding at 0600; however, there has long been an overlap
in the evening / afternoon, both on 6050 between 2100 and 2232 per
EiBi. Some ELWA signal might be getting into Ecuador toward the end of
that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 11880, March 22 at 0109, trying to determine
what site has necessarily replaced Grimesland for KBS World Radio hour
in Spanish, which is still on air as if nothing had happened. Running
TDOA via KiwiSDRs, keep getting error messages, but one ``successful``
fix using Spain, Brasil and Florida at 0113 puts it at 25.80 N, -32.20
W, i.e. in the Atlantic way off W Africa beyond Canarias, yeah,
right.
As I listen to it via some other remote, they are talking about 11880!
Lamenting what has happened to VOA and Martí, but now they say their
11880 is via WOOFFERTON UK! Anyway I then try another trio, northern
Sweden, Sa`udi Arabia, and Athens, Georgia -- they fix it at 23.40 N,
-1.00 west - which is in SW Algeria. Yeah, right; at least the
longitude is close to WOF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also VATICAN
[non non]
** MADAGASCAR. see ALASKA [non]
** MEXICO. 6185-, March 22 at 0547, for the record, still no signal
from XEPPM, nor have I ever heard any trace since first noticed absent
March 12; nor did they ever reply to my inquiry on contact form. Do
any of our Mexican readers/members have any info about this? ¿Quién
sabe, qué pasa? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.8925v, March 22 at 1844, strident Arabic talk
from Rep. of Yemen Radio, VG S9+20/30 into UTwente without buzz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690 > 12030 > 17715 >>> JBA 17755, Fri Mar 21 at 2300,
token English from SNR, 75% VG into Georgia SDR. Feature topic to be
about amateur theatre performing `Midsummer Night`s Dream`; but I`m
mainly escuching Turkey as these two insist on simultaneity (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960.003, March 21 at 2301, VOT English S9+20/30 into
Georgia SDR, after sign-on, the News --- I mean, Olds. Leads with
Sa`udi meetings about Ukraine; UN refugee funding cuts; victims in
Macedonian nightclub fire treated in Istanbul; air pollution kills 7
megapeople globally yearly; 2307 sports.
NOTHING ABOUT THE MAJOR NEWS FROM TURKEY the last few days: search on
Istanbul Demonstration Today for real news, about the detention of
Recep`s main opponent, the mayor of the city! So much for getting news
from the ``source``, no free press there. I wonder if TRT World TV
also ignored it? Richard Langley had been monitoring VOT every day
from Wednesday and VOT had nothing to say about it. Someone should
complain to `Letterbox` about that and hear how they handle it,
justify it, or if they continue to ignore it. 2308 already,
multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2310 music; 2315 exploring Istanbul
[unless you are the mayor or his supporters] - did he call it a
Paradise?? Hard to catch every word due to accents, rhumble on the
bigsig. 2325 Turkish Foreign Policy. 2332 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music. 2337 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2343 ``WYEH``
again already. 2344 `Did You Know That?`, always presented by Efsun
the axentuated, as I tune out - too much strain to try to understand
her. 2349 ``WYEH`` promo again, already. They`re really overdoing
these crutches! 2351 s/off recites full English sked for B24, first
time they have done that in ages, now that it will last only one more
week. 2353 IS to 2354.5* not uncovering Chinese as occurs at UTwente,
but maybe a trace of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
Richard Langley, NB, also observes: ``And last night (21/22 March)?
Still crickets for domestic Turkish political news. News items
covered: upcoming Ukrainian/Russian war ceasefire talks in Saudi
Arabia, Iran-U.S. relations, U.S. aid cutbacks for refugees, injured
from North Macedonia nightclub fire, air pollution, sports. I guess
the Voice of Turkey (o.k. Türkiye) only wants to highlight the
problems of others and not their own. Radio Romania International does
a much better job of relating events in Romania even if not 100%
favourable to the government there. We just can't rely on the Voice of
Turkey to be objective in relating current Turkish events. P.S. Have
you tried Turkish Popkek? The banana ones are particularly good`` (via
Glenn Hauser, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2287 monitoring: not confirmed UT
Sat Mar 22 at 0300 on 5085, as WTWW has been off the air for a few
days and still is. George tells me he is getting very frustrated by
continually having to fix/repair something in that transmitter,
leaving him no time for sales or other activities. However a new
person is moving to live-in at the site, relieving him of some tasks.
Confirmed Saturday March 22 at 1530 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.001,
S8/9+10 into UTwente. ACI from weaker 6165 not a problem, nor its RTTY
warble.
Also confirmed Saturday March 22 at 1700 on WRN North America stream.
Also confirmed Saturday March 22 at 1838 the 1830 on SW Radio,

** U S A. Pre- `AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, March 21 at 2350 into NH SDR:
3265, 5130, 6160 all OFF; 7490 -73 Hz = 7489.927 S9+10/20 with FKB.
9330 S9+10/20 WLCR in Portuguese. By *2355, 5130 -51 Hz = 5129.949 has
cut on with IS & ID loop. At 0000 UT Sat Mar 22, 5130, 7490 and 9330
join for `William Tell Overture` theme, and his first overwords are
``Gee, look at all the changes ---``, so a new live show as likely
when they bother to fire up 5130. 0003 immediately talking about
trolling on eBay, somehow blaming Democrats. Soon rails against income
tax, worst idea ever. 0014 W1NT SDR goes dark! Retune to Georgia, BCQ
still on, 0019 laments TDS. 0030 first music in the hour. 0035 outro
as a radio song, invites email. Reads about ``our president vows to
close down Voice of America``, one press report, source not cited but
maybe BBC since mentions CBS as partner. 0038 then comments on the
issue. Allan has mixed emotions: does not believe in state-run
broadcasting, should be done by private individuals, even if
government funded. If we had resources, we would put on ``VOA``
programming, perhaps in partnership with some other SW stations. But
not one-sided, not anti-Trump. He doesn`t fully agree with the
shutdown. Does not want to take over Greenville facility, hopes VOA
can come back in some form.
They are both in Florida Studio 9, but we hardly hear from her except
to make angry anti-Democratic interjexions. He admits to hogging the
show and asks if she wants to hear some music; no definite reply
heard, as he fiddles around but there is not enough time left to play
anything more. Just received two copies of new Free Radio Weekly, like
I did, so spends more time than usual reading station names,
frequencies, a bit about program content and again disses SSB in favor
of AM mode for pirates, imitating vocally how SSB sounds on AM
reception; yes, but. At 0047 datestamp as 21 of March YOOLF 2025. 0053
some other email. At 0055, 7490 dumps off the air - it really is off,
not just the SDR, so retune to 9330. 0059 prayer and runs slightly
past 0100, when I find 5130 has changed to music, 6160 is JBA, 9330
back to WLCR, and 7490 is still off, of which he was not aware (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5950, Sat Mar 22 at 0547, this WRMI is off, and still off at
0637; contrary to Mon Mar 17 when it was on with TOMBS at 0618, so was
that an anomaly? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7570, Sat March 22 at 0551 and still 0637, S9+25/35 of dead
air from WRMI-5 instead of TOMBS, tsk2, while not dead - air that is,
unlike BS, on 5850 WRMI-12 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 810 kHz, March 22 at 0606 and still 0640 UT, dead air from
top signal, no doubt WHB Kansas City, depriving us of stupid
sportstalk, tsk2! A musical station audible underneath. No 810.6v het
this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, March 22 at 0548, JBA carrier, presumed R. Vanuatu;
would be interesting to find how early it can fade in direct. Today`s
sunset at Port Vila would be 0655 UT; at latitude -17.72 south, during
the year it varies litte more than an hour between 0620 and 0728 UT
per gaisma.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN [non non]. 7305, March 22 at 0135, I run TDOA on VR Spanish
which used to be Greenville, same trio as for 11880 Korea, q.v. This
promptly leads to 52.60, -30.40 which is in the middle of the North
Atlantic between Ireland and Labrador. Yeah, right. We are already
quite sure this be direct from SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 22 at 0554, open carrier except for clix
every 3 seconds, those detectable out to between 9221/9251, i.e.
plus/minus 15 kHz. Same frequency as before, one of several ending in
-6, but the clickery rate varies from one log to another. What is
this, and what is it accomplishing with the clickery? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 382 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0632 UT, dash and YPL, 500 watt ND
beacon at Pickle Lake ON is JBA. It`s a good night when I can hear any
Canadian besides YXL on 346. See also USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ECUADOR [and non]. 6050, March 21 at 0647, hymn at S8/S9, too
strong for ELWA and too Spanishy. The coreligionists at ELWA and HCJB
long had a nice sharing relationship, HCJB never on much past 0500 and
then only on weekends, and ELWA never on until a few minutes before
0600. HCJB had already been reported running much later, but can`t
find it now; rather this a bit later also March 21 from Wolfgang
Büschel:
``6049.993 EQA Surprised, surprised - cross checked Spanish signal on
TWR Bonaire KIWI_net signal, also at Brasília and São Paulo KIWIs. It
was 100% extended time schedule ?, Voz_Andes Media Quito from Pico
Pichincha txion site. S=4-5 in Bavaria-GER, at 0710 UT. Schedule
published is 21 to 05 UT and 0920-1400 UT.``
Of course, in target areas, there may not be too much of a problem
with HCJB after sunrise into west Africa, nor ELWA into S America. Per
gaisma.com Monrovia sunrise varies little during the year between 0630
& 0700 UT, currently 0647. At longitude 10.8 west, it really ought to
be in UT-1 zone instead of UT, the meridianal boundary being 7.5 west.
They are on yearound DST and don`t know it, just like Enid (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 359 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0628 UT, ND beacon GGF, 25 watts,
Grant NE;
365 MCW kHz, March 21 at 0639, ND beacon AA, 100 watts at Fargo
Harwood `Kenie` ND, site in MN.
Several other regulars audible, but these are the more unusual ones. I
have better luck above 300 kHz than below, maybe slightly lower noise
level. See also CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2287 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday March 21 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, S8/S9 direct.
From Ron Norton, IRRS/NEXUS/IBA: ``Dear Glenn, I hope this message
finds you well. We would like to inform you that your program World of
Radio is now being aired according to a revised schedule, effective
immediately. The new broadcast times are as follows (all times in
CEST):
Friday at 22:30 – AM/MW 1323 kHz + Streaming
Sunday at 01:30 – Streaming only
Sunday at 21:00 – AM/MW 1323 kHz + Streaming
Tuesday at 22:00 – AM/MW 1323 kHz + Streaming
Thank you for your continued collaboration. Best regards, Ron``
Central European Summer Time UT+2 does not start until March 30, so
there should be one more week of UT+1, no change, i.e. in UT: Fri
2130, Sun 0030, Sun 2000, Tue 2100. Thence: Fri 2030, Sat 2330, Sun
1900, Tue 2000. Except Mar 28 & 29 not yet DST. Anyhow.

** U S A. 660, March 21 at 0651 UT, `Coast to Coast AM`, // 600 WMT
and many others. NRC AM Log shows only C2CAM on 660 is KEYZ, Williston
ND, U4 5000/5000. Also logged Feb 16 at 0805 UT, q.v.
Not precisely logged, but C2CAM on 1150 frequently has a very quick
echo, close to a reverb. Main one is KSAL Salina KS, but what else?
Too many others in NRC AM Log: WNDB FL, WJBO LA, KRMS MO, WIMA OH,
KAGO OR, KQQQ WA, WHBY WI, CKFR BC. Most likely WJBO, 15/5 kW but U4
direxional E/W, or closest, KRMS MO, U1 840/55. It`s easy to DX C2CAM
all over the dial, especially during a caller with distinctive voice,
or music bit; but usually far out of synch with each other (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1650 kHz, March 21 at 0618 UT, continuous tone
again of about 320 Hz, mainly QRMing S Asian music, which has to be
CINA, Mississagua = Toronto; tone suspect KSVE El Paso TX as before.
Suspect CINA U1 5000/680 be on day power as had not heard it until
recently; KSVE also with weird power levels, U1 8500/850 watts. All
this superior to my closer 1650s, KCNZ IA and KBJD CO, both ND = U1
1000 W at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9141-9200 approx., March 21 at 0641 UT, 59 kHz wideband
multi-tone, multi-carriers beating, peaking circa 9178, S9+20, same
thing as heard later at 15866-15913, q.v.. What is this? (Glenn

UNIDENTIFIED. 15866-15913 approx., March 21 circa 1430 UT, 47 kHz
