** COLOMBIA. 6010.0, March 10 at 0308-0312+, S9 to S9+10 in Spanish
and it is religious ``la palabra de dios``, like La Voz de tu
Conciencia used to be. Also getting it on Colombia KiwiSDR. I keep
listening until 0400 UT definite ID as Alcaraván Radio --- that`s the
sibling station to LV de tu Conciencia, nominally on 5910 but it was
not unusual for them to swap programming. Presumably Alcaraván has
kept active on MW 1530. But does LVC have a MW frequency?

So at least one of the HJDHs has been reactivated. Long-winded sermon
continued until 0341 switch to another speaker with Bible reading,
0346 hymn in Mexican style, 0349 announcements, more tunes including
tropical rhythms; 0354 ``continúe con nosotros`` but no ID. 0358 song
about carnaval. 0400 mentions México norteña and Colombia, finally
definite ID in passing ``Alcaraván Radio`` [never vice versa], more
tropical music, occasional chex such as 0420, 0442 music. They do play
a lot of nice music, but ruin it with interruptions for predication.

I`m mostly listening via the two KiwiSDRs in Colombia; the Bogotá one
is less noisy; still music past 0500. Two Alcaraván Radio IDs at 0520.
Then I check 5910 which until 0500 is blocked here by CRI via Cuba.
There, the signal is much weaker, and still a carrier, presumably Cuba
overrun. At 0616 when I quit, nothing on 5910 but 6010 still audible
direct very poor with music. Probably runs all-night. Manuel Méndez,
Spain was hearing 6010 as late as 0720, direct? Via a FL remote,
Wolfgang Bueschel says it`s on exactly 6010.000 at 0636. The old
transmitter was off-frequency.

Tnx to Mike Newland, Morgantown KY, G5RV and Icom IC-7300, who first
reported this to the WOR iog as unID at 0251 --- per short-wave.info
would be either LVC or Mexico, Radio Mil --- incredibly, that
long-gone station is still on the list --- doesn`t anyone keep it up
to date??? It was helpful however to retain LV de tu Conciencia, but
should have been flagged as inactive for a few years --- until now.

There had been reports that visiting American gospel huxter engineers
might be refurbishing these outlets. A few days ago, Bob Wilkner in FL
had something in Spanish on 5910 before 0100 but which we could not
confirm the next night. After 0100, Romania may or may not be active
on 5910, and after 0300 it`s China via Cuba until end of B-19.

WRTH 2020 lists 5910 & 6010 as DC stations --- as if they were in
Bogotá, solely because that`s the postal address of QSL manager Rafael
Rodríguez R.! They are really in remote Puerto Lleras, Meta.

[non] Brasil is also active on 6010, altho I heard none of it in
Colombia but did not try SDRs in Brasil; so beware and be sure of
which language you are hearing. On the radioescutas group March 10:

``Bom dia amigos. Rádio Inconfidência sintonizada (6.010 Mhz) aqui em
Marília(Sp) neste momento ((8h10) da manhã [0510 UT], programa "Em boa
companhia". Ivan Evangelista Jr`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 9 after 2200 and 2302, no signal from RHC on the
second day of its needless transmission jumbling due to the imposition
of DST which ought to be irrelevant. Until March 8 had been at 22-23,
and ``normal`` A-season shift was *later* to 23-24 UT on 11880 or 9720
--- and nothing there either. I also scan the entire 15, 13, 11, 9, 7
and 6 MHz bands and do not find RHC English anywhere on old or new
frequencies during either hour. Maybe got lost in shuffle or
coincidental transmitter downage? Keep checking.

Something`s always wrong at RHC. If RHC management were not such a
total mess, Arnie could have broadcast the exact new times and
frequencies on DXers Unlimited March 8 or preferably earlier. But he
never deals with such significant mundane matters. WRTH used to list
him as the frequency manager, but lately only as ``advisor consultant
to the director general``.

My further RHC chex: English on tropical 5040 has indeed shifted an
hour *earlier* from 00-01 UT to 23-24 UT March 9, confirmed beginning
at 2301 but no //s anywhere.

After 2200, Spanish is on 11950, 6000, 11850, 15370 at least; at 2244,
11700 in Portuguese; at 2305, 15730 in distorted Kriyol. Something`s
always wrong at RHC.

Late night, March 10 at 0618, 6060 is S9+30 of dead air; 6000 & 6100
are off; 6145 at 0620 in undermodulated English. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13635 & 13765 approx., March 10 at 1407, RHC FM/AM spurblobs
out of RHC 13700 distorting `Sonido Cubano` music now during its
earlier hour; just a trace on 2 x 65 kHz second-orders 13570 & 13830.
13740 is still on with bigsig of dead air. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, March 10 at 1410, CRI English relay is just barely
modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7295, March 10 at 1818, IRRS with `War Room Pandemic`
episode 39, very strong via UTwente, but considerable undercurrent QRM
from Iran`s IS until it cuts off at 1822* --- for VIRI is already on
7295 in German at 1720-1820, 500 kW at 313 degrees! Now IRRS ex-7290
is colliding with that in order to evade China on 7285. At 1823, WRP
mentions being on SW NEXUS IRRS to various targets but no time or
frequency details (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2024 monitoring: on Monday March 9,
Ron Norton sent an IRRS notice that they would be on 7295 instead of
7290 at 18-20 UT, to avoid CRI QRM on 7285 for the Coronavirus program
at 1800.

I quickly check UTwente and find nothing on 7285, 7290 or 7295 at
1848, but suddenly at *1851, 7295 comes on with music fill; and 7285
is also there with CRI. Maybe receiver had been out of order. BUT CRI
is scheduled on 7295 at 1900-2100 in English from East Turkistan. This
had been ACI to IRRS after 1900, and now will be CCI!!! Including
WORLD OF RADIO about to start at 1901!

At 1857 the 7285 CRI signal cuts off and now we have a full collision
of CRI and IRRS on 7295. To avoid QRM, the second hour at 19-20 should
shift to 7285. I, gh, posted preceding at 1859. At 1902:

Contrary to new sked from IRRS, has switched back to 7290 at 1900, WOR
good on LSB avoiding ACI from 7295.

Then at 1910, Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS tells me: ``Glenn, You will be
on 7290, as usual from 19-20 UTC. We will assess 7295 from 18-19 and
decide whether to stay on 7295during that period, since 7290 18-19 UTC
suffered from interference from 7285 (CRI) in some parts of the EU``.
[see also ITALY [non]]

WOR 2024 also confirmed UT Tue March 10 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, good via
UTwente and also reported: ``WRMI, Okeechobee, FL, 7780, Mar 10, 0100,

** U S A. 990, My log of KWAM Memphis struck a nerve of Greg Hardison:
``Glenn: -- "KWAM, The Voice" -- This thing is moving under its new
ownership by extremist Todd Starnes. Fox News-Talk radio had the
wisdom last year to fire Starnes, after he sat back on his show in
silence, while esteemed guest "Pastor" Robert Jeffress asserted, "all
Democrats worship Moloch", a medieval demon-deity who allegedly
advocated child-sacrifice.

Perhaps Starnes will offer Jeffress his own daily show, to further
propagate that kind of "patriotic" bilge, thus countering all them
damn libtards in the media! Already trumpeting the NRA, no doubt we'll
hear endless loads of this sort of crap on KWAM under Starnes'
far-far-right guidance. Such a fine use for the "public" airwaves.
Fine, fine people! -- GREG HARDISON`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 284-MCW kHz, March 9 at 0626 UT, dash and ND beacon Ya-S,
i.e. dit-dah-dit-dah, dit-dit-dit. As discussed in detail with my last
November 15 log this is really QD in The Pas, Manitoba, miskeying the
Q which should be dah-dah-dit-dah.

Despite storm crashes from southern Nebraska and local line noise
level, I proceed:

326-MCW kHz, March 9 at 0628 UT, dash and NDB VV, which is 133 watts
from Wiarton, Ontario (once a channel 2 TV DX city), per
dxinfocentre.com ``To be decommissioned 2020-03-26`` but William
Hepburn also says,

``Beacons are being decommissioned at such a rapid rate that many
listed here may already be off the air. By 2026, most of these beacons
will be gone with only a few left, __mainly in remote areas. Also, it
has been noticed recently that many decommissioned beacons have been
unexpectantly returning to the air (I call them "zombie beacons").``
I, gh, was tuned to 325-USB.

340-MCW kHz, March 9 at 0630 UT, dash and YY, 500 watt NDB at Mont
Joli, Québec. I was tuned to 339-USB; yet QRM from local 341, EI
Enid.

351-MCW kHz, March 9 at 0631 UT, dash and YKQ, 500-watt NDB at Fort
Rupert - Waskaganish, Québec. I was tuned to 350-USB, yet no sign of
RG at Will Rogers World Airport, OKC; off?

355-MCW kHz, March 9 at 0634 UT, dash and YWP, 200-watt NDB at
Webequie, Ontario. I was tuned to 354-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 15034-USB, March 9 at 1526, Trenton Military is JBA instead
of usual good signal; yet 14670 CHU is at normal good level, so I
suspect CHR is now underpowered. Also yesterday noticed it very weak
but still on air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, March 8 at 2128-2130+, first day of DST to keep in
step with the Gusanos en Miami, this RHC only S5-S6 is not in Arabic
as before but Spanish during piano music and // 5040, 11760. Also //
15370 at 2132 S9+30 distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also
// weak 9535 & 9640 at 2136. Unfortunately did not get around to
confirming yet whether English have shifted from 22-23 to 23-24 on
11880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Further chex of RHC now that DST is in effect: UT Monday
March 9 at 0036, 6000 is in Spanish, 6145 not on; 5040 is squealing
and in Kriyol. At 0038, 11850 in Spanish and suptorted, 11760 OK,
11700 Spanish, 11670 distorted; 9640 and 9535 weaker all with
discussion of béisbol.

6000 & 6145, March 9 at 0130, now these are on in English but both
JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

6060, March 9 at 0030, MUCH better signal and modulation in Spanish,
S9+30. `En Contacto` ending an hour earlier at 0150 UT Monday after
monthly AER DX report so starts at 0135; and also should be Sunday
1335 on all the morning frequencies, and Sunday 2245 on tarde channels
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, March 9 at 0610, checking all the RHC English
frequencies, this one is S9+20 of dead air; 5040, 6000, 6100 are OFF;
6145 is the only one still on, S9 but undermodulated; with `DXers
Unlimited` at 0613-0622, so I listen to it all and try to understand
Arnie: topic 1) 35 days with no sunspots; 2) lamenting lack of ham
activity except weekend contests; 3) something about broadcast
training?; 4) dipole antennas. DXUL is the most popular program on
RHC, as he frequently asserts. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13740, March 9 at 1429, RHC carrier still on with crackling,
rapid cutting off and on, 1430 goes off for good. 13700 is still
running OK with no spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11560, March 8 at 1941, Station YHWH is S7-S9 but
suptorted modulation; by 1959 a JBA carrier. Tnx to tip from Rick
Barton, AZ to the WOR io group (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 7490.05v, UT Monday March 9 after 0000, WBCQ with
`Encore` classical music, also webcast, shifted without notice one UT
hour earlier as The Planet operates on local time, not UT. Good signal
direct anyway at 0040 check.

9455, UT Monday March 9 at 0215, the new `Encore` broadcast via WRMI
has also shifted a UT hour earlier to 0200 after debut last week at
0300, again without notice (and yesterday`s WRMI on 5850 was a
no-show). We hope everything will be back in sync next weekend. At
least the current playlist was already available on website (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 774, March 9 at 0456, of all the TA carriers (see unID),
this one manages some audio, Castilian talk from RNE synchros, 0500,
six-pip timesignal, talk and music. Still very heavy splash from 780
WBBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2024 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March 8 at
2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA here; at 2153, poor-fair via UTwente SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 9 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, which has just
shifted one UT hour earlier from 0230; and still preceded at 0129.5
with far-outdated ``Son-power Radio`` ID with long-gone 7455
frequency, followed by some 10 seconds of dead air, and a note of
music fill before WOR start, but anyhow VG S9+10/20. And also at 0130
still on much weaker, JBA/VP 7780. But VG at UTwente and Rockport ME.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 9 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG at Rockport;
and also still at this unchanged time on WRN webcast (so Sat 1700 will
also stay then until BST in April).

Also confirmed UT Monday March 9 at 0300 (ex-0400) on Area 51 webcast;
5130 WBCQ poor-fair on SDR in Virginia but not ones closer to Maine;
at 0327 here, fair S9/+10.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 9 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, good via SDR in
Pardinho, Brasil, no jamming; not audible in much closer Colombia; and
here JBA carrier vs wall-of-noise jamming. Next:

** U S A. 7490.2v, Sunday March 8 at 2127, WBCQ with `Marion`s Attic`
amid its summer-shifted hour, fair S8-S9, but reception will steadily
worsen until Solstice with more and more insolation over daytime
path.

Same hour, 21-22 UT on Sundays I am more disposed to listen to 90.1
KUCO-FM, or via webcast, to `Feminine Fusion` presenting classical
music composed and/or performed by women, which originates at WCNY in
Syracuse:

** U S A. 9330, March 8 at 2135, WLCR on WBCQ still in Arabic,
S9+25/30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9474.97 approx., March 8 at 2129, WTWW-1 is on at S9+40 but
