** CHINA. 9200, March 7 at 1413, Chinese fair signal, i.e. CNR1 jammer
against Sound of Hope; no others audible among several other low-9-MHz
possible frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, March 7 at 1403, S9+40 of dead air on CRI Plus relay;
did not get around to rechecking before 1600 whether modulation ever
came up. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. BTW in A-20 this
transmission redescends to 11880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, March 7 at 1405, RHC reactivated from absence
yesterday, // distorted 15140. 1552 recheck, 15230 is dead air, 15140
is off, 11760 is on, and 11700 is also off, the latter running
yesterday morning by error. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 7 at 1651, this RHC is off, despite supposed to
run continuously 1200-2130 per Aoki; EiBi shows a 15-16 break, and
also a strange 5-minute French broadcast Sunday at 2110. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13635, 13570, 13766, 13832 approx., March 7 at 1607, RHC
succeeds in spurblobbing from 13700 transmitter, at 65-66 kHz
intervals plus and minus, the first order pair stronger; readable in
FM and AM, with F# tone, not in SSB. I had really been missing these:
none logged since February 16, quite a spell, almost two sesquiweeks!
Something`s always wrong at RHC. Are these more likely on weekends?
Last batch were Fri-Sat-Sun, Feb 14-15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUINEA. 9650, March 7 at 0347, hilife music with no break at
hourtop, past 0412 at S9-S5, no announcements, still at 0450 tho
weaker. Surely it`s RTG which is nominally on air 06-24 only, and
nothing else normally here before North Korea at 0700. So why are they
running all-night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185.7, March 7 at 0342, XEPPM about here, not remeasured
precisely, and seems to be wobbling, or caused by local QRM.

6185.755, measured March 7 at 0452, dead air; still propagating at
1512 when I measure it on 6185.792, maybe JBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7480, March 7 at 0352, Station YHWH is VP, JBA,
S7-S9 undermodulated vs S5 noise level on vacant 7475. 7470 has a JBA
carrier, thus QRM from Deewa Radio, Germany, he avoids. I did make out
one mention of ``Yahweh``. Ron Howard was also hearing this with
difficulty at 0324-0405+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2024 monitoring: I awaken at 1334 Saturday
March 7 to hear JBA beepery on 15770 WRMI, i.e. SW Radiogram, so
likely also on air before 1330 with WOR, unlike last week.

Also confirmed Sat Mar 7 at 1700 on all three WRN webcasts. Will the
NAm service have shifted to 1600 by next week, or wait till the others
do in April? Next:

2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re VORW time changes on WRMI: Altho I did not get the
complete context of his announcement, I now suspect he was saying that
VORW times would be one hour later on 5850 et al., once DST has
started, i.e. by local clox, since they stay at same UT --- e.g., 0100
UT will become 9 pm EDT instead of 8 pm EST. We do not need all this
confusion caused by twice-yearly shifting! In the SW context, the
standard must be UT, which is *real, unchanging* time (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830, March 7 at 0347, WTWW-1 is on again with VG signal,
SFAW sounds like live call-in, but mentions current date in passing as
26 March, so at least a year old, probably many more. 5085 WTWW-2 is
however AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

HLAZ 1566 at 626am central/1326UTC with what sounds like one or two men talking in Japanese, I think.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.97-USB, continuing previous March 6 LRA36 log: as
expected not a trace of it direct to here just before 1900. After 1900
I`m listening via Iceland ``VHF`` KiwiSDR, where Dan Robinson says
it`s coming in well (a lot further than Brasil, but all over-water
path). All talk but mostly unreadable, then 1910 music past 1913. By
1954 JBA there; 1957 I`m back on Pardinho SP SDR which gets it best
of all. Talking about the ``campaña antártica``; 2014 contacting
someone at another base, Marambio until 2016, contact info, ID with
frequency 15476, some music, YL acknowledging reports and saludos;
brief fade-down; discussion of ``campaña de verano desde el 6 de
noviembre``. 2036 mentions a base uruguaya; 2037 current weather
including temp 5 grados = heatwave; 2050 music, song about Antarctica
including lyrix, hielo, cielo (ice and sky, which don`t rhyme as well
in English); some other songs and off before 2100.

Roger provides a 48+ minute segment starting ~1900z from the somewhat
bumpy webstream .... including weather conditions, IDs:

And here`s that nice song he also found:

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800, UT Sat March 7 at 0132, RAE via WRMI with
`Actualidad DX.com.ar`, playing a clip of Radio Nyawa Sarawak. Too bad
this DX program is simultaneous with WOR X 3, not to mention AAAWWW
but the latter will be an hour earlier from next week due to the
imposition of DST and WBCQ acquiescence (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370.0, March 6 at 2309, RHC remains on-frequency, but S9+20
of distortion and hum on modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 5080-USB, March 7 at 0118, soul, jazz music, no
announcements, stops at 0137 tho I tuned away a bit at 0128 to check
WOR frequencies. Fair with bubbling probably from local device. In the
absence of WTWW 5085! Mix Radio International per lots of reports
here, as early as 2136 March 6:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,63822.0.html
Could have stayed on later as no-show from WTWW by 0300 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 6130 // 7325, March 7 at 0116, another check of RRI finds
English on these frequencies, no Romanian or anything on 5910 & 7410.
Apparently two transmitters are out of order (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March 6 at 2318, as some guy on WRMI mentions
that Spain and Turkey are the only overseas stations still in English
to us at this hour, I check and not today: another absence of VOT
where something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2339 recheck, I do make
out a JBA carrier on 5960-minus, i.e. XJPBS. But English from Spain
before 2330 succeeds on 9690 vs WOR on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Friday March 6 at 2115, VOA `Music Time in Africa`
has hyper Heather talking about some award show coming up on Saturday
November 30! So this is a rerun. I wonder how often that happen less
obviously (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2024 monitoring: confirmed first
American SWBC, Friday March 6 at 2300 on WRMI 9955: this time very
light pulse jamming soon abates, and rest of show is in the clear,
100% readable to 2329.

Also confirmed UT Sat Mar 7 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5010 fair with trace of
LAH, Madagascar or India? As usual, Spanish Bibling is chopped off at
0129:30 for ID. Also on 5850, VG S9+30; and 7780, VP in HNL here, but
HjB in Germany confirms it at 0157 with SINPO 35443. Next:

0900 UT Saturday Unique Radio NSW 5045-USB or 3210

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, March 6 at 2158, VORW ending on WRMI; John seems to be
saying all his times on WRMI including 5850 will be one hour later
with DST --- I don`t think so. If there were any retime they would be
one hour earlier, but unless there has been a drastic policy change,
most WRMIs stay on UT, except for System B on 9955; and System G which
is mainly 9395 but partly involving 7780, 5950 if we believe the
outdated grid. That sked in EST/EDT makes it hard to mesh with other
Systems employing those frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490.2v, UT Sat March 7 at 0100, WBCQ with some other music
before WTO, and of course again ``Angela & Allan Weiner WorldWide``
without either of them, instead Pirate Joe subbing once again. Says he
had only 25 minutes` notice to prepare, and that was while he was on
air with WHVW classical music show; sorry, too much else is going on
this hour to devote time to monitoring all his random rambling in case
there be any nugget of info about what`s really going on at `BCQ. 5130
still not on air at 0100, but it is on when next checked at 0152 with
PJ here too //. John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 7490. No signal on 5130. Pirate
Joe is hosting again this evening. Stated that he only had thirty
minutes notice that he was hosting and he was in the middle of a
program on his station when he found out so had nothing planned for
this show. Rambled on for a bit and then played some music. Spent a
fair amount of time talking about the twenties. He tried several times
to compare the twenties to the sixties but never completed the
thought. Then he talked about prohibition, then into the Pony Express,
and into traveling cross country in different time periods, and then
into world travel in several different centuries.

A check at 0136 revealed still no program on 5130, but during a check
at 0158 the program was on 5130 so it came up sometime in the last
twenty-two minutes. Show was off the air at 0200. John, Mid-North
Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
