** CUBA. 4765 & 5025, March 17 at 0237, both missing, no Progress and no Rebellion. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Sunday March 17 at 1538, RHC only S3/S5 and JBM in Spanish into Maryland SDR, while 11760 is S4/S6. Before 1500 I was not hearing either direct, boding ill for Esperanto, but I forgot to try for that between 1500 and 1530 which should be its DST timing. By 1551, 11760 off and 15140 S5 JBM Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 9670, March 17 at 0618, song at S2/S3, surely Channel 292, nothing else listed 24h except Vietnam radio war at 1230-1300. Date by date program sked shows nothing specific most of the time, including now: https://www.channel292.de/schedule-9670-khz/ Seldom do I get more than a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, March 17 at 0606, music JBA vs my high noise level, so ORTM reactivated without a blob; had been reported March 16 around 2339 by HF Undergrounders via Ron Howard. Wolfgang Bueschel reports day frequency 9635 also active (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, March 17 at 0226, hard rock. R75 Noise Blanker very much needed and helps a lot. Some reports here as Leeroy, per fuzzy SSTV; went off at 0234: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,127151.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6970 USB, March 17 at 0227, soft rock. Many logs here as Solar Federation Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,127152.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO: I thought I heard them mention a .org website, instead of the usual kucofm.com So this explains why the old site was inaccessible on some browsers: https://classicalkuco.org is the new URL now, tho the contents are much like the old one including secrecy about what`s scheduled 12-6 am CDT Saturdays. But if you enter the old URL on Edge it converts to the new one (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** PERU. 4810 & 4820, March 17 at 0238, JBA carriers from these two but not 4775. Later at night there`s only 4810 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11745, March 17 at 0217, Qur`an at S2/S3, no doubt the `AFRTS` for forces in Yemen, `Al Azm`, the only thing on 11745, 24h per EiBi & Aoki, site Jeddah. Must be about time for breakfast stuffage among Ramadaners. Violating Separation of Mosque and State, haha (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11915, around 22 UT March 16, I noticed no horrible noiseblob from defective transmitter for Rep. of Yemen Radio; is it gone again, or moved? Also absent March 17 at 1542 into UTwente, nor on ex-11820, ex-11860. Could be somewhere else on 25 mb if checked thoroly, outstanding sorethumbly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17865, Sunday March 17 at 1438, S7/S9 Spanish talk about Ukraine, the R. Martí weekend-only from 1300 broadcast. M-F should be back on 17680 instead at 17-21. What`s the other Martí playing at 1442 on 11930? ``We Will Rock You``, off-topic? 11860 & 13820 not on yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2234 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday March 17 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 into Bonaire; S9+20 direct, no jamming audible. Also confirmed UT Sunday March 17 at 0353, about 2 minutes into so nominal 0315v started about 0351 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20 into nearby SDR. Late-running Houston Hamsat net playback ran until 0339 ARRL news, so that lasted only 12 minutes. WOR has sometimes appeared early so need to start checking by 0230. Next: 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 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?] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2233][SW suspended but still streamed?] 1400 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated, by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JJBBA MW carrier search, March 17 at 0233: nothing but 711 & 891 vs the high noise level, surely Western Sahara and Algeria. At 0609, only 711 and 882; I suppose 25 kW COPE Tenerife, Canarias most likely on 882 vs a 10 kW in Wales (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1935 UT March 17

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, March 16 at 2211, LRA36 is on, VG S9+10 into Argentine SDR, YL with historical info mixing bits of harp? music. By 2340 hitting S9+40 with lots of noise, self-imposed? Or by the SDR, otherwise only S7. Expected to stop by 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. R. Martí logs are normally filed thus, but also now could just as well be UKRAINE [non], so I am just keeping them under U S A ** GERMANY [non]. 15195, March 16 at 1532, S7/S9 of HoA music: or not quite since EiBi shows this is DW in Hausa via FRANCE for Nigeria on Saturdays only at 1425-1630, i.e. for stupid ballgames, but none right now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, March 16 at 0644, still noise blob, no program audio from presumed ORTM. Has anyone heard same or anything at all, on day frequency 9635? At 1640 no signal into UTwente. Nominal span was 08-18, then back to 5995. Also on 9635 meanwhile: Vietnam, CNR1 jamming, Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MARTINIQUE. 28444 USB, March 16 at 2151, FM5WS, quick DX pro-forma contacts, French accent: ``FM5WS Martinique flag Martinique, Jean "John" BAILLARD, Ducos 97224, Martinique`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Sat Mar 16 at 1100 UT, KUCO going from first to second hour of `Beyond the Barrier` ambient music, so in DST season it`s at 10-12 UT, as well as 05-07 UT, the overnight Sat programs still secret, not accounted for on program sked https://www.kucofm.com/program-grid/ via Firefox & Chrome inaccessible at 1650 March 16 but accessible via Edge, while the webcast via streamguys.com is playing fine during cinematic `Reel Music`, 1700 Met Opera `Turandot` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15550, Sat March 16 at 1536, similar-sounding signal to 15565 Vatican in Amharic, but this is weaker S8/S9; R. Tamazuj in SSUD Arabic via MADAGASCAR, at 1500-1600, per EiBi including English Tue & Fri 1511-1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.005, Sat March 16 at 2259, VOT comes on just in time for 2300 English sign-on for the 1330 broadcast only, mixing with timesignal from XJRTV understation on earlier than usual *2311v. S9+40/45 into UTwente which displays a smidgin below 5960.000 which must have been XJ, as above +5v Hz once I refresh it. News first and mostly about Gaza. 2310.5 `The Energy Agenda` on T`s strategic location for natural gas pipelines. 2318 song. 2327 `T`s Geomarked [sic] Products`, recipe for a dessert made with cheese, sherbet/syrup, temp 350 C -- really?! = 662 F. 2329 song, 2332 another song. 2337 another2 song... If it runover past 2400 that will be in my next report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17865, Sat March 16 at 1501, as expected, R. Martí is now here as sked Sat & Sun instead of 17680 at 17-21 M-F; only S6/S8 direct, not blasting in like 17680, but propagation today is degraded, 10m is even dead and/or the MUF has not built up yet, and/or dependent on sporadic E between NC and OK. 1525 recheck, outro VOA Editorial, Martinoticias contact info, 1526 `Abriendo Espacios` women`s program but focus on Ukraine. Now it`s S9/+10 direct. At 1544 recheck it`s off! But cuts back on and off again during Ukrainian song. At 1552 finally tuning via UTwente: off, but back on at *1557, S9+15/20. Left running in background, no more breeaks perceived. 1642 Ukrainian song again. 1700 dead air and off 1701*. Indeed not on 17680 after 1700 since this is not M-F. One must wonder why VOA itself and/or RFE/RL have not re-started SW broacasts in Ukrainian/Russian for a rather larger audience. Follow-ups: Richard Langley says the date 17680 ran past 2100 was March 14; Wolfgang Bueschel says the reason Biblis or Lampertheim are not used for this is high cost of electricity in Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2234 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday March 16 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, vs continuous roar noise; even worse at Maine SDR atop us. Yet into Missouri SDR S9+30 without roar, and also OK direct, as it`s 315 degrees beamed right at us. The further east, the more the roar, really ruining WRMI on that frequency. Is it some legit ute or ``jamming``?? Also confirmed UT Saturday March 16 at 0400 sharp, ex-0500, on WTWW 5085, S9+20/40 into Missouri SDR, and VG direct, appended to `Ancient Word Radio` -- not World as sometimes typoed, and not to be confused with another AWR; bit of music after at 0429 and off. Also confirmed Saturday March 16 at 1554 the 1530 on SW Radio, Grmany, 6160.002, S9+5/15 into UTwente. WBCQ/TOMBS not a problem! Also confirmed Saturday March 16 at 1725 the still 1700 on WRN North American webcast, same UT despite imposition of DST over here. It`s // their Af/As/Pac service where DST is irrelevant; so WRN makes the change to 1600 etc., for equally irrelevant BST as of March 31. Also confirmed Saturday March 16 at 1845 the 1830 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002, S9+10 into UTwente. Confirmed Saturday March 16 at 1930 on WRMI webcast-only as expected ex-2030; and not on 15770. That is, playing on my Winamp as saved link: http://wrmi.listen.creek.fm/stream While exactly the same link http://wrmi.listen.creek.fm/stream accessed more directly is carrying Polish Radio presumably from WRN. Huh? After 2000 they continue to be different, one with La Rosa de Tokio, the other with more Polish Radio. O, the one with PR had been paused, so not really `live` playing. Confirmed Saturday March 16 from 1946 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, delayed following ARNL, VG groundwave into nearby SDR. Next: 0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] [ex-0100] 0230vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0500][ex-0415] 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy 2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 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?] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB 1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2233][SW suspended but still streamed?] 1400 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated, by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN. 15565, March 16 at 1534, S9+20/30 is the SSOB except for 15825 WWCR with sporadic E boost. VR in Amharic to Ethiopia at 1530-1600, also on // 13830 with keyword ``Catholic``. Standard remark about SMG backward signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 11741 & 11790 & 11839 approx., March 16 at 1540, same-sounding spur?blobs. Note they are 49 Hz apart, as if symmetrically out of 11790, but nothing sked there now. BTW, 11760 RHC is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2346 UT March 16

** ARGENTINA. 28490 USB, March 15 at 2210, LU8YE calling CQDX, CQ10. VG signal. QRZ.com: ``LU8YE Argentina flag Argentina, RADIO CLUB DE LOS ANDES, LOS PEHUENES 1 Y LAS RETAMAS, SAN MARTIN DE LOS ANDES - PATAGONIA, NQ 8370, Argentina --- The Radio Club de los Andes, located in the city of San Martin de los Andes, besides the Lanin National Park with superb natural surroundings, offers big lakes and clear water rivers. It is a beautiful tourist place, we invite you to visit (video of our city).`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA. 28450 USB, March 15 at 2207, HJ3ESF, ``Munir, north of Bogotá`` working a VE1 in NS, calling CQDX, VG signal. QRZ.com: ``HJ3ESF Colombia flag Colombia, Munir Saab, 20976 Sheridan St, Fortlauderdale, FL 33332, USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, March 15 at 1635, JBA carrier into Missouri remote, presumed pirate Hikari FM in Sonora or Arizona. So weak that has trouble synchlocking onto it, but audible in USB if tuned to 11514.5. Also noticed direct at various times not always logged. Is anyone getting enough signal for modulation monitoring? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Mar 15 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG S9+30/40 into Maryland SDR. 2308 feature after news is pushback against trend to eliminate AM radios, let alone SW, from cars, several interviews. 2323 about celebrations in Spain for St. Patrick`s Day, with some nice Irish music bits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [non]. 5960, March 15 at 2300, NO signal from VOT into UTwente, and on 9610 only CNR Mongolian. At *2310.6, Xinjiang RTV chops on 5960.000 mid-word in Chinese, its usual start time, breaking squelch. No VOT for rest of hour. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28217.7 CW, March 15 at 2204, EEEEE DE WA1LAD/B --- Nothing about a beacon on his qrz.com page: ``WA1LAD USA flag USA, GILBERT D "Gil" WOODSIDE, III, 285 3rd Ave, Warwick, RI 02888, USA`` I keep trying WI5V website first for beacon lookups, but has been inaccessible for at least two weeks. Anyone know what happened, or is there some other new site being updated? At QRZ.com nothing new, in fact his old announcement about taking over from WJ5O: ``WI5V USA flag USA, DENNIS C STICE, 5120 SW 125TH PL, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73173 --- On January 20, 2018 I will assume the duties as the IARU Region 2 Beacon Coordinator, as Bill, WJ5O, will be resigning from this role. Bill has faithfully administered the duties and has been a tremendous asset to so many Beaconers during his 10 year stint as IARU Region 2 Beacon Coordinator. Now that I am retired from teaching grad school and rehabilitation counseling, I will now have more time to devote to my new role. The Official Beacon List can be seen here on my website: wi5v.net `` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17680, Fri March 15 at 1657 tune-in via UTwente, open carrier S9+10/20, 1700 R. Martí ID, nothing about VOA, and right into program `La Libertad es una Librería` discussing Ukrainian poetry in translation. That means bookshop, not library. Before 1700 still no signal on 17865. Peter Hanson checked IBB monitoring in ``Kiev`` showing that 17865 at 13-17 is for Sat & Sun, 17680 at 17-21 for M-F only. So on March 16 we should find it earlier on the other frequency instead. Also, on March 15, Richard Langley reported 17680 had run past 2100 on some unspecified date: ``An update: Listened to all of my 10-minute clips. There seemed to be a VOA editorial near the top of the hour each hour (except the first hour). At about 2104 UT, there was a version of the Ukrainian patriotic song "Ой у лузі червона калина, romanized: Oi u luzi chervona kalyna" (something like: "Oh, there is a red viburnum in the meadow") in SPANISH! Most of us have heard various versions of this song since the start of the war but perhaps not in Spanish. When checking on the spelling of the song, I came across this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkMKYPWWmSY Very nice, particularly the portions with brass instruments. The hour continued past 2106 when my recording ended. So not signing off at 2100 according to the supposed schedule. Will extend my recordings to see if there is a consistent s/off time. Slava Ukraini! -- Richard Langley`` Volodya Salmaniw, BC, replied, ``Thanks for sharing, Richard! The song was banned in the Soviet Union. As I recall, it was written during the first world war but became popular with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army during and after World War 2. As many Ukrainian songs are, it's cryptic, describing how Ukraine, although broken, will arise again. We learned it as children growing up in the diaspora. Always gives me a lump in my throat. Walt`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2234 monitoring: confirmed Friday March 15 at 2130 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, sufficient into UTwente. Also confirmed Friday March 15 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, JBA direct vs noise level but improving.

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update
Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) USA - WEWN: Updated label for link to frequencies as it now links to current A-24 schedule [as expected, 12050 Spanish, 15610 English which has been missing lately -gh] 2) USA - WINB: Updated links to frequency/programme pages 3) USA - WRMI: Updated links to WRMI frequency and programme page for A-24 season The next update is scheduled for late March. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** CUBA. 15140, March 14 at 1900, no signal from RHC English at summer timing, only heard once so far, nor 11760. The Other Side: ``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW March 8, 2024 OPINION Raúl Castro: the general in his defeat Erratic policies, produced by fear and devoid of objectives, have been the hallmarks of this Raulian era, the perfect culmination of a regime that is close to disappearing and that no one will miss. Rafaela Cruz, La Habana 07 Mar 2024 - 20:12 CET If pathological cowardice is mixed with intellectual vacuity, the result is a Raúl Castro. This general with more stars on his epaulettes than shots fired in combat - his command on the Second Front was a kind of camping trip - would border on the pathetic if it were not for the fact that while he basks in Cuba's best cays, the people are scraping and struggling just to eat. His late brother — the main character responsible for the country's ruin— although racking up a string of disasters sufficient to fill an encyclopedia of failure, at least had the ability to survive by prostituting himself politically, monetizing his virulent ideology, and exporting his totalitarian method. But Raúl cannot even manage that... https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1709838741_53338.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [non]. R. Martí: see U S A 17680 ** HAWAII [and non]. 10000-10004 approx., March 14 at 0636, noise blast QRMs WWVH, must tune for it on LSB. The Standard Frequencies are supposed to be protected (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, March 14 at 0639, still nothing but noise blob, presumably out of defective ORTM transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2234) ** U S A. 17865, March 14 from 1600, NO signal from Grimesland for R. Martí. Will the 13-17 UT segment ever appear? 17680 open carrier is already on at 1653, S9+10/15 into UTwente. Very rough start! 1700 still dead air. 1701 VOA WDC s/on with YDD - again at 1702! after DA pause, at 1703 VOA WDC s/OFF. 1704 different s/off with contact info for programming. 1704.5 VOA ID with YDD. 1705 disclaimer, no programming available, so music fill. Disclaimer blaming on propagation conditions. Propagation OK, so resuming programming. 1706 regrets there is no programming. 1707 VOA beginning AFRTS! VOA finishing AFRTS. Dead air. 1708, finally R. Martí ID, and into program `La Libertad es Libro`, featuring Ukrainian poetry in translation, but mostly discussing it. 1800 no ToH break. 1803 VOA Editorial: anti-Putin. 1808 back to MartiNoticias. 1809 `Abriendo Espacios` women`s show. 1858 another VOA Editorial. 2000 recheck, VOA editorial about Ukraine, again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2234) Comments from the WOR iog: Kai Ludwig, Germany: ``Nothing in HFCC so far, and no publicity at the usual places either. "Abriendo Espacios" as programme name is too generic for a web search without further digging. Is this Martí or rather VOA? Perhaps some kind of cooperation, but still one could ask if this is a playout from Miami or Washington. And why not from either Biblis or Lampertheim, which would provide significantly better reception? They keep churning out 5.7 million dollar each year for these meanwhile badly underused facilities. I think I asked already some kind ago what kind of strategy this is, or if they have any beyond "we always did it this way" at all. So no one in Russia and Ukraine will listen to shortwave anymore, but mercenaries from Cuba will? To a sub-standard signal, delivered over almost 9,000 kilometres? Made my day. Kai Ludwig`` Bill Tilford, IN: ``It wasn't all that far back that Martí was broadcasting DRM to Cuba. They are never given an Oinker Award but have been a worthy candidate for years - an operation in search of a mission. Personally, I think the most plausible explanation for their existence is a place to hide part of the black budget. Just a theory, but a good one methinks`` Tony Pavick, BC: ``I have a slightly noisy but fairly understandable signal. Discussion with a university professor talking about writing a diary about Ukraine to tell the world about what is happening. This is a really fascinating undertaking. While some may question its effectiveness, the thought of targeting deployed Cuban troops with R Marti in some form where it won't be jammed as at home is intriguing. In a sense this is a bit like Radio Atlántico del Sur and Argentina's Liberty. Tony`` Another commented: ``It`s a joke`` (via WORLD OF RADIO 2234) ** U S A [and non].
