Monday, March 10 2025
** KUWAIT. 7590, March 10 at 0613, JBA music. EiBi shows R. Farda at 0230-0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 8828 USB, March 10 until 0625* mostly numerical by monotone OM voice, ``--? VOLMET, out``. EiBi shows Auckland starting at :20 and :50 past the hours, 24h timeshared with Kong Kong at :15, :45; Tokyo at :10, :40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Tropo is up, with Tulsa/Okmulgee/Eufaula UHF TV sigs decoding for first time in long time, and most `open` channels have at least BAD signals into Zenith STB from my rooftop antenna still permanently aimed SSE toward OKC, March 10 at 1552, including: RF 28 = Ion 44-1; RF 31 OETA 3-1 = KOET; RF 20 KQCW-HD 19-1; and RF 28 KJRH 2-11. KJRH is NBC affil, originally KVOO-TV, but what`s it doing on this obscure sub-channel? Soon fades below decoding level. I would not have noticed it tuning by RF channels, but at virtual 2 it came up. Strangely enough, searching rabbitears.info on KJRH calls shows it only on RF8 as 02-1. RF 28 is axually KTPX-TV Okmulgee, virtual 44 for ION. If you bring that one up, it does show KJRH as 2-11. BTW, this Zenith set-top-box DTV converter must be left on all the time. If turned off or a power failure, it`s tough to get it to turn back on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9610.018-, Sunday March 9 at 2201, S9+35/40 into UTwente, well above annoying ChiCom Mongolian CCI of CNR8, VOT English amid music break, 2204 `Letterbox` continues with one from Bangladesh, names Turkey`s best university. 2207 Liam? Spencer, USA, 15-year-old from Colorado, heard 6125. Hostess glad to hear from such a young SWL, implying SW is not dead yet. 2209 Jayanta Chakraborty, north India, ``Dear Sir``, plugs freedom of religion in India; she distances herself from a commentary on Mon & Wed which is translated from TRT World website opinion sexion, not originated by VOT or its English dept. 2222 ``that`s a wrap``, hostess names herself, sounds like ``Jamie`` but probably not, and closing song. 2216 `LBox` theme/outro as there is briefly some OTH radar? cliQRM until 2219.5, no more. ``always-by-your-side`` promo, 2217 song. 2222 TRTVOTVorld.com promo, music. 2225 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, and 9 notes of IS before chop 2226* uncovering CNR8.
I miss the next repeat if it succeeded, circa 2320 on 5960, so plan to catch the first part of L`Box on final repeat circa 0415 on 6125/7285.
Indeed, I do, tuning in a bit earlier via UTwente to 6125.004+, S9+45, perfect reception, in strength, modulation quality, no QRM, better than sufficient // 7285.018-, S9+5/15. March 10 at 0416 a commentary about Sa`udi influence and policies concerning tribes in Syria and the Levant; outro as by an international relations expert, name not understood. Then program outro as `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`. 0420.5 music. 0424 TRTVOTVOrld.com promo in 41 {sic; more added?} languages, and `Letterbox` theme, opening. 0425 YL hostess says Ramadan started a week ago and is still getting used to fasting all day, and feels less energetic since she can`t have any coffee or tea - sounds fine and awake to me. 0425 Siddartha ---, reported 3-8 Feb at 1730, SINPOs all 44444: how many NGOs in Turkey? 122, relying on donations, also some state support. Malik -- --, Pakistan: glowing review of VOT. 0429 got email from EBU about ticket competition? for Eurovision Song Contest, Basel in May. She always enjoyed it as a child. Turkey not participating for a few years, a loss. Song quality not that good, but fun like a party. 0430 music break: Anatolian pop rock, names not understood - sounds like a scratchy vinyl at start. 0435 wanted to resume ``question of the month`` but manager nixed it. Next, about what is the largest university in Turkey? by km2, by number of students, but the best academically is a private one, name not understood - etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 8782, March 10 at 0622 tune-in, few words by YL in SSB, ``Forecast center``? Then Morse code ID once as KFS and off. Could call it CW, but was still tuned to exactly 8782.0 where SSB was clear. Klingenfuß 2022 says it`s channel 822 for coast stations, QSX 8258, but no KFS, only EQJ, PPR and XSQ. EiBi shows 8782, 24h for KFS, Rio Vista CA, and also 24h XSQ Guangzhou (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March 9 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+, S9 into UTwente with some QRM, Romania or Iran?
Also confirmed Sunday March 9 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003, S9+5 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Sunday March 9 at 2330 on WRMI 7780, S9+25/35 into S Texas SDR.
Also confirmed Sunday March 9 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+20/35 almost identical into S TX SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday March 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/15 into S TX SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday March 10 after 0230 on WRN North America stream, i.e. no change for our DST; will only change for UK DST in two sesquiweeks.
Also confirmed UT Monday March 10 from 0302 on WBCQ 5130-, but for less than one minute as not chopped off air until 0303* while continuing on Area 51 webcast only. 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?]; 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.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9955, March 10 at 1544, WRMI-3 is off already as nominally to 1530 in DST season, ex-until 1630 in ST season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR0
** U S A. 15150, March 10 at 1537, WMLK infested by unstable spurs circa +/- 4X kHz, at least 15142, 15146, 15154, 15158, much like the 17525 galaxy before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, March 10 at 0613, JBA signal presumed R. Vanuatu and still not on 9960. Due to the imposition of DST I shall probably be monitoring more in the 06 UT hour than the 07+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57 kHz, March 10 at 0554 UT, JBA carrier detectable again aside 810 WHB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4200, 4800, 5100, 5400, March 10 at 0325 past 0405, and 0549-0601 UT, pips/beeps/carriers on and off at regular odd intervals amounting to about 26X per minute on frequencies exactly 300 kHz apart. Something never heard before. Details:
0325, found first on 4800.00 during bandscan; still past 0405. At 0407 found also on 5100, but fraxion of a second delayed using two rx, but maybe because of different DSP delays in rx. And soon also on 5400 which is synched with 5100. Then I check other +/- 300 kHz spots for this: NOT on 4200, 4500, 5700. Suspended chex 0416 as it`s almost time for V of Turkey `Letterbox`, q.v.
0549 resume checking direct: 4800, 5100 and 5400, the latter with almost double-pips, two sites? Now ALSO on 4200, but NOT on: 3900, 3600, 3300, 3000, 2700; 6000, 6300, 6600. At 0557: NOT on 4200, 4500, but YES on: 4800, 5100, 5400. Not expecting any break for ToH ID at 0600, but listening just in case: NONE on 4800, 5100, 5400. So, what`s going on here? Of course, nothing to be heard at next check in daytime 1545 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7725 CW, March 10 at 0616 UT, weak beeps at 24/minute, related or not to the even 300 kHz intervals? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 8918 USB, March 10 at 0626, ATC comms, mentions 0625, how copy? EiBi shows shared among Gander, New York and Piarco = Trinidad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Glenn Hauser logs March 9, 2025; Hitlist update |
|
Sunday, March 09 2025
Note: previous `lot` report dispatched at 0321 UT March 9 should also have been dated March 7-8, not March 8-9.
WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update
Hi Glenn, my latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm
1) Updated UTC offset notations for change to DST: Cuba (Habana R, R Progreso, R Rebelde), USA (R Martí, V of America) 2) Turkey - Added a link to the TRT Global Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe
** ITALY [and non]. 7399.906, March 9 at 1624, tune in UTwente just in time for publicized monthly broadcast of Marconi Radio International on ``7400`` until 1630 --- S8/S9 with Italian? talk vs much stronger ACI from 7404.984 with ``shortwave`` jingle, Dutch? presumably R. Piepzender as both these are the only stations anywhere, anywhen on 7395 & 7400. 7399.906 still going ast 1635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1549.82, March 9 at 0730, besides 1 kHz tones from unknown US station, the JBA carrier hetting also detectable, maybe partway to 1549.81, presumed XEREL Morelia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11934.893, March 9 at 1945, huge buzz atop Arabic from Rep. of Yemen Radio via Riyadh, S9+20/30 into UTwente. Presumably transmitter fault rather than jamming. Had been clear of this for several weeks. Tnx tip from Tony Rogers and David Morris, bdxc (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday March 9 from 0511 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15/20 with some storm crashes into nearby SDR; very late after nominal 0415 as Houston AMSAT started an hour late at 0400, after TWIAR, and before ARRL News. From next week: WOR nominal 0315. Next: 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW [and/or 7780]; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 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?]; 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.

** U S A. 7505, March 9 at 0654 UT, WRNO on late again unpredictably, S9+25 with song, presumably hymn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. MW bandscan during the Hour of Confusion, March 9 after 0700 UT, hits several frequencies with 1 kHz tones, no doubt from unattended and failed satellite feeds; exacerbated due to the imposition of DST. These are not hets since the pitch peaks the same on LSB and USB.
680, March 9 at 0714-0718+ UT, tone on for 30 seconds, off for 20 seconds, over and over. No announcement between, and not CJOB which is continuously audible mixing with Manitoba mentions, intruding as usual into American Airspace. Most likely my regular KFEQ, St Joseph MO, or possibly KKYX San Antonio TX.
870, March 9 at 0719 UT, no doubt WWL New Orleans, 1 kHz tones alternating with announcement, ``Westwood One, SES? something, transponder 17, call 720-873-5177 between 8 am and 10 pm Eastern time`` - that is not heard on most of the others but possibly only due to QRM while the tones are clearly audible. AC 720 is Denver CO overlaying 303, uplink location?
1100, March 9 at 0721 UT, S9+30 of dead air, no doubt WTAM. It`s normally // but not synch with 1110 KFAB which is nominal now, and by 0727 WTAM modulation matches KFAB. No tones heard here.
1300, March 9 at 0722 UT, 1 kHz tone and unreadable announcement, probably like on WWL. Too many possibilities, from KAKC Tulsa to Nebraska, Texans, etc.
1380, March 9 at 0723 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which? 1470, March 9 at 0725 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which? 1550, March 9 at 0726 UT, 1 kHz tone on and off. Which?
Meanwhile I scan up and down the band a few more times in case I missed some more tonals during pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Glenn Hauser lots March 8-9, 2025; WOR skeds and DX/SWL/Media Programs |
|
Sunday, March 09 2025
These will be activated after 0500 UT Sunday March 9:
WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES updated for North American DST season from March 9 http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated for North American DST season March 9, before confirmations http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
** CANADA. Official SWL Channel of Gilles Letourneau, Québec, often activates on Saturday afternoon. I check him from time to time, but there is too much going on Saturday afternoons for me to follow one thing for 5+ hours, starting circa 2000 UT: https://www.youtube.com/live/RRzaF4LPGlE I happen to retune about 0110 UT March 9, and there he is ``dancing`` or rather ``handing`` or gesturing to ``Midnight in Moscow`` music. The whole shebang apparently shows him seated by his radios, chatting with participants, some of the 50K followers he has accumulated. That was apparently the final performance this week as the feed froze by 0112 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 9670, Saturday March 8 at 1800, `From the Isle of Music` via Channel 292, VG into UTwente, delayed almost a minute behind 3955, but much better VG signal on 9670 until fading down last new minutes before 1900. Inconvenient scheduling, since it collides with `Talking Machine Show` on WWCR 12160, and Metropolitan Opera. I had to miss the first hour of `La Bohème`. Same situation next week for his other monthly, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, unless I can manage to catch its first and only other airing, Friday at 2200 on 3955 only, as UB will not availablize his shows ondemand online, in support of the shortwave medium (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, UT Sat March 8 at 0237, JBA music, no doubt Ball Smacker Radio on its reliable Friday-evening frequency and time; more reports here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141935.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6849.9 AM, Sat Mar 8 at 0238, disco beat music JBA. More reports here as Liquid Radio on 6850, but none later than 0232: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,141937.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17715, Fri March 7 at 2222, another frequency missing from REE, the one for SAm which is second-best for us in the also continued absence of 12030 for ME. Still on 17755 for Af, VG S9+30 9690 for NAm. 2300 token English previews topic about a feminist leader for International Women`s Day. All checked direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9610, March 7 at 2315 direct, algo weak can`t tell if VOT English, and nothing on 5960. At 2332 into UTwente, only Chinese on 5960, only Mongolian on 9610. VOT a total loss; but this saves them from another error, German after 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Sat Mar 8 at 2300, VOT English not off the air; something`s not erroneous at Emirler, S9+25/40 into UTwente and not even tried direct. Some hum, and somewhat overmodulatedistorted. News already over at 2311 music. 2317 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2320 talk about Feb 2023 earthquaxe, pipeline from Azerbaijan, Georgia. Not sure of title, but sounds familiar. 2226 music. 2330 TRTVOTVorld promo. By now there is CCCCCCI which does not make it easier to understand Efsun the axentuated who is back! talking about something, 2243 outro title was `Dream Destinations`, I have to check Roe`s sked to find; music. 2347 ``always-by-your-side`` promo again, repeat feature about famous cats from the White House to Hermitage to Key West. 2351 music. 2353 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2354 s/off as if it`s the 1330 on 13635, awry. 2355 first notes of IS about one sesquitime, and chop off* uncovering ChiComusic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Friday March 7 at 2315 the 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct and undermodulated. From next week: 2200.
Also confirmed Friday March 7 at 2333 the 2330 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003, S8/9+5 into UTwente.
Not confirmed UT Sat Mar 8 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, remains off air. From next week, if on: 0300. Stream is not working either, tho when it did, WOR was not to be heard even when airing on 5085.
Confirmed Saturday March 8 at 1542 the 1530 on SW Radio, Germany, 6160.000, S8/9+10 into UTwente. Almost QRM-free: nothing on 6155, strong music on 6150, presumably Europa 24 from Germany; weak algo on 6165 with warble, CRI Pashto via Urumqi.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 at 1700 on WRN North America stream.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 at 1833 the 1830 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003-, S9+10 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 from 2028 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20 into nearby SDR by groundwave. From next week: 1930v.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 at 2030 on WRN North America stream.
Also confirmed Saturday March 8 at 2100 on WRN Europe stream. There is always a pregnant pause of about 10 sex between their WRN intro and me starting. Next:
0330vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0600];
[DST changes start here:] 1030 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [needs reconfirmation]; 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW [and/or 7780]; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 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?]; 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.

** U S A. 9930, March 7 at 2229, no signal from WTWW-1 with TOMBS, nor at morning check today. 9475 still missing from WTWW-2 so totally off. Probably not on subsequent night frequencies either, 5920 & 5085. However, 9930 found on with TOMBS at 0044, but gone again at 0120, nor on 5920; but 5920 is on at 0305 & 0357 chex, not 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Mar 8 at 0043 into NH SDR: 7490 -77 Hz = 7489.23, S9+15 of FKB; 9330.00, S7/S9 of WLCR in Portuguese; 6160, 5130 & 3265 all OFF. At *0055, 5130 -25 Hz = 5129.975 with The Planet ID & IS loop. 6160 -68 Hz = 6159.932 now on at S9+10 with some music. At 0100, only 5130 & 7490 join for `AAAWWW` this week, not 9330, not announced as originally aired last week, but it is obvious rerun as talkover during theme includes ``Either or not, we`re coming thru ... billions & billions of radio receivers out there...`` and quick interjexion at end sounds like ``Fab-u-4``, segué to ``Turn Your Radio On`` hymn; tuneout (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WRMI sked grid is now ``as of March 9, 2025`` per the header, but each individual System program grid is *still* dated as ``effective March 10, 2024``!!! Altho each has doubtless been changed numerous times in the past year, and we still spot some of the same old errors concerning WOR and other programs, never 100% matching reality of what really airs:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pcIEX8kisrOPqlXHDAq6gympKUgDj0SIb96qce2kGGQ/edit?gid=0#gid=0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17509 JBA, 17513, 17517, 17521; 17529, 17533, 17537, JBA on 17541, slightly unstable spur carriers at 4x kHz intervals above and below 17525, obviously emanating from that S9+30 WMLK, March 7 at 2221.
At 0158 March 8: ``More fun from WMLK? I'm seeing a really strong carrier, no audio, on 17525 during the past 30 minutes (the 0100 UT hour). Only noting this due to some recent mentions of them on 17525. I see it on several SDRs I've checked as well. Did someone lock up for the night and forget to turn out the lights? Tony Pavick, Hope BC Canada`` -- In a hurry for Sabbath? Could not go back to do ``work`` after sunset just to turn it off? Yahweh`ll get `em for that? Apparently it did get turned off eventually. Hmmm, does automation count as illegal ``work`` since set up by believers? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 880, Sat Mar 8 at 0806 UT, KRVN, Lexington NE starting `Our American Stories`, usual dominant signal here. From next week: 0706 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7636.0, March 8 at 0713, open carrier at S9+ plus clix once per second. Same as logged March 4. No other significant hits in archive to explain it. Also had 9236 on Feb 26, but this time instead:
Also 9126.0 at 0716 March 8, S2/S3 carrier but only occasional random clix. Searching my archive on 9126 gets this hit, maybe coincidental, Sept 13, 2024 from:
``Takahito Akabayashi, Tokyo, Japan --- According to Japanese radio amateur Ryota Mitobayashi, JJ1WTL, US-based companies have set up 4 Experimental Shortwave Financial Data Trading stations in Japan. All the stations are located in Boso peninsula, Chiba prefecture, about 100 km southeast from Tokyo. Details of the 4 stations are as follows.

Friday, March 07 2025
** CANADA. 328 MCW kHz, March 7 at 0719 UT, dash and YTL, Big Trout Lake ON. Hadn`t heard this one in a long time.
346 MCW kHz, March 7 at 0725 UT, dash and YXL, Sioux Lookout ON. Also many more from USA, q.v., and UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, March 7 at 1605, RHC S7 but JBM, still on but usually off by 1600. SAWA = something`s always wrong at - (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 800, March 7 at 0712 UT, heavy distorted mess from XEERG vs KQCV OKC, still unfixed. I wonder if CKLW and PJB listeners also have a problelm with it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SCOTLAND [non]. I was complaining about music being hard to find on SW vs talk formats. But unlike some stations with only one or three transmitters, there are plenty of music blox on one WRMI or another, altho only one classical: `Encore`. Turned on my BSR1 caradio, Friday March 7 around 2030 and there it was, already tuned to 15770. Fair signal but never a blaster here since it`s aimed NE. Too bad not a single WRMI in daytime be aimed across N America, and should be on 13 MHz or higher. I had already heard this new biweekly episode at first airing, UT Fri Mar 7 at 0200 on 5850. Other WRMI times: UT Sun 0100 on 5850, UT Mon 0300 on 5950, Tue 1300 on 15770. 5950 is subject to DST shifts unlike the others, so should already be at 0200 UT Monday when the System L sked shows it should also be on 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. LW bandscan March 7 at 0713-0739 UT, local noise level abated a bit allows IDs from these MCW ND beacons to be heard, but many more JBA carriers only, see UNIDENTIFIED. Also two from CANADA, q.v.
245, FS, Sioux FallS SD; 255, SW, StillWater OK; 293, UI, qUIncy IL mixing/alting with FBY, FairBurY NE. Unusually UI is about equal level to FBY; 326, MA, MidlAnd TX; 329, PMV, PlattsMouth NE; 335, BV, BatesVille AR; 344, JL, JopLin MO, but copied tuned to 342 USB; 353, LI, LIttle Rock AR; 356, ODX, Ord NE; 379, RU, RUsselville AR, supposed to be RUE, but no E; 395, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, but copied better at 393 USB; 400, AHQ, wAHoo NE; 420, PK, Olathe/Herbb KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. As if in reply to my observation that I`ve heard no trace of any CW beacons on the ISM band for months, are any active? These logs in CIDX Messenger:
``13566.50 kHz CW; 1519 UT Feb. 26. KE4TWI. HiFER (High Frequency Experimental Radio) CW beacon in Lebanon, TN. Weak. These transmissions occur within the ISM band (Industrial/Scientific/Medical) where unlicensed experimental operation is allowed, but with very low power levels (mW range). In hobbyist lingo this is the "22m HiFER" band, which is 13553 to 13567 kHz (Hudak-ON)
13566.55 kHz CW; 1456 UT Feb. 22. RVA. HiFER CW beacon. Richmond, VA. Weak to fair (Hudak-ON)
13566.75 kHz CW; 0523 UT Feb. 26. AMA. HiFER CW beacon located in Hamilton, ON, which is close to me. Reception via ground wave. Weak to fair with chirp on the signal (Hudak-ON)`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2285 monitoring: confirmed Friday March 7 at 1300 the first SWBC on WRMI 15770, S8/S9 direct.
Also confirmed Friday March 7 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.997+, S9+5 into UTwente across Europe.
Also confirmed Friday March 7 at 2130 on WRMI webcast, but 9955 not on air yet: it does cut on at *2153 JIP the last minutes of WOR! Next:
2300 UT Friday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]; 2330 UT Friday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0400 UT Saturday WTWW 5085 [irregular]; 0930 UT Saturday WRMI 9455 to WNW [has been off air; or 7730]; 1530 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1830 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM [2000/2200]; 0000 UT Sunday WTWW 9475 [suspended]; 0330vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0600];
[DST changes start here:] 1030 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [needs reconfirmation]; 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy; 2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW [and/or 7780]; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 0930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 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?]; 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.

** U S A. 17517 & 17533, March 6 at 2031, JBA matching spurs +/- 8 kHz from WMLK 17525, which is S9+25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 830, March 7 at 0707 UT, WCCO with `The Other Side of Midnight` talk show host against DST, gives a phone number starting with 720, so I wonder if it originate at WGN? He is // WGN 720 but about 8 words behind WCCO. So he`s on WCCO before WGN. Search leads to Frank Morano also on WABC ``live and local`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. LW bandscan, full of tantalizing JBA carriers of ND beacons, March 7 at 0713-0739 UT. If only my local noise level could be lessened! The ones with audible IDs are separate under USA, CANADA, q.v.
227, 233, 251, 260, 267, 272, 284, 299, 309, 314, 316, 334, 338, 341, 344, 365=two mixing, 371, 382, 385, 388, 391, 397, 404, 407, 410, 412, 417.6?? maybe a birdie but all the others are on exact 1.0-kHz spacing. One may consult these for likelies: https://dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57, March 7 at 0710 UT, JBA mystery carrier hetting 810.00 WHB. I`ve DFed it more than once as roughly 100/280 degrees from Enid. Now we need others to get a bearing from other angles to triangulate it. This can be done on a hand-held portable with built-in ferrite rod antenna, preferably with BFO, not with otherwise superior fancy fixed antennas which have such a disadvantage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 10125 USB, March 6 at 0656, trace of ham QSOs with Oz accent, vs 10125 CW, HK3QQ with usual fraxured keyboard letters loop. First time in many months I`ve heard the SSB, from Australia, the only? country authorizing hams to phone on ``30`` meters. Never could copy any IDs in ragchews (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2285)
** CANADA. 540, March 6 at 0733 UT, English discussion // 990 CBW, so this is CBK Watrous/Regina SK, seldom heard anymore enough to overcome XEWA et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 1549.82, March 6 at 0658, JBA carrier hetting 1550 stations, probably XEREL Morelia still doing it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2285)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5890, March 6 at 0702 UT, WWCR-4 on again with TOMBS attempting to sing, despite weekend-only overnight scheduling altho this is Thursday, S9+50, and // but not synchronized to 5850 WRMI-12 which by comparison is quite undermodulated, and only S9+35/40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2284 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday March 6 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S7/S9+10 into Bonaire SDR; however must not have played to end as there was music fill by 0157.

** U S A. Re my non-reception of 17525 WMLK: ``17525 is still active and was noted at 1630 UT today [March 5]. One thing I will say about WMLK is that compared to WINB they have a far better quality signal. WINB always sounds really compressed. Source programme issue maybe? Tony Pavick, Hope BC``
Today March 6 at 1633, no 17525 but on 15150, S9+10/15 into Wichita SDR; 1658 s/off with address for reports, bit of music till 1700* sharp. Original schedule was 15150 to 1700, 17525 from 1730. Via UTwente I sit on 17525, which cuts on S9/+10 carrier 17525.011- at *1727, 1730 s/on giving ``licensed to broadcast at 0400-0900 & 1700-2200`` but no frequencies mentioned!
Other replies earlier, from Wolfgang Buschel: ``A25 season hfcc.org requests via US FCC 9275 2300 0400 27,28,39 MLK 300 53 0 902 123456 300325 261025 Eng 721 15150 1200 1700 27,28,39 MLK 300 53 0 902 123456 300325 261025 Eng 830 17525 1730 2230 27,28,39 MLK 300 53 0 902 123456 300325 261025 Eng 888

``The WMLK 17525 frequency 1730-2230 in A-25 caught my eye, as VOA English used 17530 from 1700-1830 during A-24. Tight squeeze from 1730-1830 in A-25 if VOA retains that frequency. Of course the entire USAGM shortwave output could be facing drastic cuts, so who knows what will happen. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4831.20, March 6 at 0659, JBA carrier, suspect spur out of very strong WWCR-3, 4840; but no match +8.8 kHz on other side. This is quite steady unlike the spurfield out of 5935 WWCR-2. New transmitter sked from March 9 for DST season is now up showing some changes, mostly one-hour shifts in some spans, but not all to earlier: https://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html We expect all programming moves one UT hour earlier to stay at same Central time after the imposition of daylight-shifting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, March 6 at 0657, RV is already here in JBA music, no 9960, and 7260 continues after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2285)
** VATICAN. 15565, March 6 at 0716, JBA carrier, the OSOB except for 15770 WRMI also very weak. SMG site in convoluted schedule of languages and times (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED [non]. 13554-13566, March 6 at 1633, NO trace of any CW beacon in the ``HIFER`` ISM band -- just the local RF ID clutterstuff around 13560. I bandscan this at least once a day or night, but nothing heard for several months. Used to occasionally pull one. Is it only my noise level, propagation, or are few of these really active? Look at this list and hunt them: https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15916.0, March 6 at 1618, open carrier except for clix every second, S7/S8 but which are detectable out to 15902/15927; same as recently heard on 7636.0, 9236.0, no listings for any in Klingenfuß 2022. Perhaps significant that they all end in 6? What are they? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2285)
