** CUBA. 5025, March 5 at 0731, R. Rebelde with S9+40/50! of dead air
in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, March 5 at 2259, checking direct, RHC is off, but so
is 13650 the CRI music channel which was on 15230 yesterday. 15140 is
however running late with RHC Spanish, S6/S8 with squeal.

Next check via Maryland SDR at 2338: 15230 is on at weak S5/S7 but
only traces of talkmod at peaks. 15140 now off. 13650 Chimx now on,
S7/S9. 11760 RHC Spanish S9/+10. Somethings` always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, March 5 at 1638, JBA carrier, implying the
pirate Hikari FM is still running from Sonora or Arizona on its
signature off-frequency.

As Rick Barton reports from AZ: ``Pirate --- 2/25, 1730, 11515/AM
[nominal]. Another day of Hikari FM. Very unusual sounding music, just
under S9 but mostly undermodulated. During frequent rechecks (incl.
1835), playing more J-pop sounding stuff, like often heard on Radio
Nikkei 2. Heard most of the day on numerous rechecks. Logged Fair/Good
on Drake SW8, Slinky (20 ft.) -- (Barton-AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, March 5 at 2303, S9 but JBA carrier direct
vs noise level; and 9610 slightly stronger JBA carrier: which is VOT
today? At 2316 I try UTwente: it`s 5960.002 when measured, ending
news, into `Review of the Turkish Press`, S9+35/45 with constant 6CI
understation. 2319 some nice choral music. 2326 `That`s Why` repeat
about internet instead of libraries, voiced by the badax. 2331 `Weekly
Commentary` again read by the badax so a total loss, one name of
penner maybe Hussein. 2342 ``A-B-Y-S`` promo. 2348 `Turkey`s Geomarked
[sic] Products` about meatballs made from sheep at a town in central
Anatolia whose name I cannot understand, and it isn`t even spelt!

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, March 5 at 1643 UT in daytime groundwave, FBY,
ND beacon at FairBurY, Nebraska, is JBA vs S7 noise level. 25 watts
per dxinfocentre.com, 50 watts per RNA. Always pleased with this from
a second-adjacent state, even when some OK NDBs are not copiable
except local 341 EI Enid and 515 PN Ponca. As for first-adjacent KS,
now only 332 IC, 25 watts from wIChita, and 407 HRU 25 watts from
Herington. Can`t pull 395 CA, 25 watts from Newton as sometimes
possible, as HNL at this spot is S9. Powers above per RNA list;
dxinfocentre.com lists 332 IC as 400 watts, but I`ll believe it`s
really 25 as at night it`s hard to detect vs 1000 watt QT Thunder Bay

** U S A. 9955 anomalies of WRMI: March 5 at 0807 is off the air,
normally all-night with TOMBS, while 9395 & 9455 are propagating. At
1630, 9955 is still on but JBA, gone by 1640 recheck. Turnoff time for
this varies widely. WRMI-3 skedgrid shows 9955 daily until 1600 with
RAE French at 1530, but whenever checked it`s been nothing but
continuous ID fillers; and shows extended to 1700 only on Sats with
TOMBS. However, System B program sked shows until 1630 switch to
internet only with WRN after 1600 daily except TOMBS on Sat. And this
does not match the even more outdated System E = TOMBS sked.
Furthermore, the Xmtr 3 sked of 9955 now shows at 0500-1100 it`s only
Sat & Sun with TOMBS, a recent change? if correct.

Note there will be further confusion from March 10 with the imposition
of DST. This causes some WRMI Systems to move programming one real
hour earlier, staying on ET = EDT instead of EST, while others stay on
UT with no changes. Note that this affects Systems, whatever
transmitter/frequency they may employ at any particular time.

Also we note that there is now NO column for Transmitter 2 which has
been eliminated completely. And transmitter 1 on 7730 for Latin
America is totally blank 24 hours. Nor is 7730 assigned to any other
Xmtr. So is it off the air or not? 7730 still shows for numerous
program sked entries in several Systems including E = TOMBS. Seems
like I tuned across it just last night. Very unfortunately, WRMI skeds
are always rife with inconsistencies, self-contradixions.

Oh2, looking at the skedgrids as displaying at 1900 UT March 5, the
TUESDAY column is MISSING FROM ALL SYSTEMS!!! Just like the
Transmitter #2 column. Still so at 2335. What a mess - until I checked
the headers, I thought WOR at 1500 on 9955 was finally displaying
correctly on Wednesday instead of alleged Thursday. It`s now in the
third column from the left, but that`s Thu since there is no Tue for
the second (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, March 4 at 2313, Chinese music! S9/+10 with good
modulation, found here after missing from 13650 at 2312, so on WRONG
frequency, this CRI `Portuguese` relay which reliably for years has
been nothing but - the same? - fill music day after day. Certainly not
// 11760 RHC Spanish which at 2305 was crackly and squealy.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. Recheck at 0121 March 5: 15230 is off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.953, March 4 at 1846, extremely distorted
talk and music with whine, S9+15/35 into UTwente, no doubt R. Cairo
during Turkish at 17-19 UT. As first reported at 1745 by Dr Hansjoerg
Biener, then by several others in the WOR iogroup. Had been totally
off air for several days supposedly fixing things, but back now as
awful as ever. Mod stops abruptly and carrier off a few sex later at
1900*.

I quickly retune UTw to next sked frequency, 9410 for 19-20 German,
but no show in a few minutes. I break for lunch. Recheck *1930 open
carrier on 9410.000, something else? 1933* off again uncovering some
strange noises nearby. Instead of 9410, this hour ending on 9889.954
at 1857, same strength and horrible distortion as 9900 had. 9890 at
2000 timesignal and off uncovering KSDA in Korean. 2002 now Cairo is
back on 9900, distorted and splattering down to 9890, in presumed
French. Also with tones as if audio mixing from some utility service.

``9900`` also sked for 2000-2115 French, 2345-0200 Arabic and Spanish;
will 9440 English 2115-2245 also be back like this? No, nothing there
at 2156, but 9900.004 is still on with open carrier S9+5/15 and
beepery. I think emissions after 2245 have been gone for a longtime.
Instead of something like Portuguese filling the 2245-2345 hour,
that`s always been sked obviously via another transmitter, at
2215-2330, on 9885. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15409.981 AM, March 4 at 1652, via Missouri remote,
Station YHWH is S5/S7, JBA undermodulated with the intonations of
Josiah Elias occasionally recognizable; tnx to tip from Rick Barton,
AZ, who had him at 1630. I had not noticed him in routine bandscan
direct a few minutes earlier. 1710 QRM from Spanish 2-way on
15413-USB, see unID. Still trace of YHWH carrier by 1730 but no audio
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday March 4 at 2300, VG direct, token English from
SNR, only Amy Egan in studio today, previewing feature about Arts Week
6-10 March. 2302 news starting with cold wave, snow expected, fires
killing apartment people in Valencia, unemployment rate falling. 2309
ID and interview, a separate `Hybrid Arts Week` March 7-10 taking
place informally in a hotel, has been going since *2016y (Glenn
Hauser, OOK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Sun Mar 3 at 2300, NO signal from VOT into
UTwente and no XJRTV either which doesn`t come on until circa 2311.
Instead, VOT English is still stuck on 9610.008, which was supposed to
stop by 2230 after the previous English hour. Something`s always
erroneous at Emiler, zzzz. 9610+ is VG S9+25 into UTwente, and can`t
hear CNR understation in Mongolian this time. Same hour I`m listening
to the final FTIOM on WBCQ, so checking this from time to time or
juggling them both. 2320 plug TRTWorld.com for world news in 41
languages.

2325, `Letterbox` is just starting with contact info. Presenter
appears to be reading all the `letters` cold, so he stumbles around
about pronunciations, and picking out some of their comments. A little
more preparation would be professional but he certainly comes across
as casual. Most are requesting QSLs, and many send or enclose
postcards which he describes, from: Italy, Japan, China, Allen Dean in
England, China, Australia. Nothing from USA or Hemisphere West; I
don`t think I missed any. Time`s up by 2346 so a loving goodbye,
music, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music, 2354
``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2355 late s/off for the 13635 at 1330
only, and IS. 2356 German IDs interspersed. 0000 March 4 timesignal,
s/on extraneous German and usual program with same music liners as in
English, still going at 0038. Off by next check 0053, uncovering the
much weaker but more accurate ChiCom on 9610.001. The wrong frequency
for German is supposed to be 5960, not 9610! SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, March 4 at 2259 I can tell VOT is on,
but no match for the noise level direct. From 2324, S9+40/45 into
UTwente where measured: 2324.5 ending 2-minute multilingual ID filler
reel, into `The Energy Agenda`, Turkey is #5 in geothermal. 2329
``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2330 `That`s Why` with the badax,
something about indispensable Internet, libraries unneeded. 2335
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2342 multilingual ID filler reel,
again! and songs. 2350 s/off, the one with all times wrong in local
but called UTC. 2351 IS until chop at 2356* just before switch to
German, uncovering XJRTV in Chinese, EAST TURKISTAN, land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems: which
does not get Ottoman Turkey off the hook for genocide against
Armenians a century ago. Something`s always awry at Ankara (Glenn

** U S A. 18162.06 AM, March 4 at 1612, long-winded ham about power

lowpower UK?

Also confirmed Sunday March 3 at 2258 the 2230 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.002, S9 into UTwente but noisy.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 4 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
Louisiana SDR, totally obliterated first 14 seconds + 1 by ute noise
blaster, just like old times, some kind of protest against WRMI which
may recur every semihour, and also bits in between. But is of no
concern to WRMI.

NOT confirmed UT Monday March 4 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.93,
rather dead air into Maryland SDR, and also dead air on stream which
is running. In a few minutes I email Larry Will and the boardops,
Hello? But no immediate replies and no axion. Remains silent past
0430. By 0511 recheck, 6160 resumes TOMBS but stream is still
silent.

** U S A. (7490v), Sun Mar 3 at 2300-2400, enjoyed `From the Isle of
Music`, finale on WBCQ. I`m glad it was on SW, but in reality, much
more convenient and better `reception` here via webcast, even tho any
originally stereo music still came thru as mono. Lots of short pieces
and announcements by Uncle Bill. Plans to resume in April via some
European SW transmitter, where he expects more support; and we could
still pick it up by remote. I assume same applies to his alternate
show, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`. I wonder what will be in this slot
from next week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15413 USB, March 4 at 1710, INTRUDERS, 2-way in Spanish,

** ALASKA. HAARP tests on final night UT March 3, via KFS omni, from
0448 nothing found on higher frequencies until 0451 reaching 3250 with
sweeps upward every 20 seconds with pauses. Makes nice symmetrical
pattern on waterfall of diagonal lines each side of 3250 out to about
3190/3310. By 0536 longer sweeps with no pauses, still restarting
every icosasecond. There`s a weak line on 3215 which must be WWCR: I
tune there briefly and can hear the sweeps going thru it. Finally off
at 0603*. Strictly-SWBC editors may be inclined to throw this and my
9600, 5800 logs out, but I point out they concern ute intruders into
broadcast bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Sunday March 3, RHC still on at 0745 with music,
probably in order to Esperanto at 0800 but I`m zzz before then.

15140, Sunday March 3 at 1610, RHC Esperanto S7/S9, spoken rapidly as
if by a ``native`` YL, but primary frequency 11760 is off. I think it
was on before 1600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Sunday March 3 at 1542, JBA carrier presumed REE to
North America, an abject failure of frequency management, winter after
winter. On weekends starts at 1500 instead of 1900, when all-dayside
path finds 9 MHz well below the LUHF, duh. First hours need to be on
much higher band, like 17855 which presumably resume once A24 start,
and from *1400. Then they will run that into the night, facing a
reverse proplem. Now, 12030 to ME is fair and *much* better even tho
off the back, while the other two, 17715 & 17755 are more audible than
9690. 1500 on 9690 could also be CRI in Bengali via Kunming (Glenn

** VATICAN [and non]. 13830, March 3 at 1529, VR IS, S9/+25, the SSOB
except for USigs it`s between, 13820 & 13845; and little else lower in
band. 1530 ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``, Horn-of-Africa music and
``Ye--`` s/on Amharic, mentioning kHz, meter-band and Ethiopia. Soon
matched // 15565. HFCC shows both SMG site, 250 kW, 113 & 135 degrees.
So strong here unlike any other Eurosigs on band again raises the
suspicion they are mistakenly aiming backwards USward or at least not
suppressing any back-radiation. Swahili follows at 1600, when 15565 is
still SMG but 13830 switches to Madagascar now really aimed USward
beyond, but at 1609 check, 13830 is much weaker VP, while 15565 is

** ITALY [non]. 7290, Friday March 1 at 1919, checking what IRRS is
running in the SW slot it removed from WOR some months ago:
`Flashpoint Global Crisis` from VOA, story about some virus, not about
Ukraine any more, where not enough was happening? to keep that in the
title. Note: WRMI is still running `FGC` at 1935; is that its `live`
time on VOA itself? If so, is the episode on IRRS really from
yesterday? After lunch, at 1951 referring to globalresearch.ca and
Canadian items, something about Calgary and fluoridation. S8/9+15 into
UTwente, best on LSB to avoid 7295 ChiCom ACI. At *1957 more ChiCom
ACI hits from below, 7285, making IRRS unlistenable even by narrowing
bandwidth to 3 kHz. 1959 IRRS s/off referring to continuing on MW 1323
is chopped off by SW site, Bulgaria or Romania? at 2000* before it`s

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Ken Zichi replies in great detail to this log
of mine:

``267 MCW kHz, Feb 26 at 0729 UT, HET, 25-watt NDB at HenryEtTa; but
better copy tuned to 265 USB. In 2007y someone reported it on 263.
Occasionally noted but not always logged, JBA vs noise level. RNA and
DXinfocentre.com show it the only 267 anywhere!``

Altho I`m DXing these only by ear on my own regular radios, non-SDRs.

``This 'what frequency is it on' is a source of confusion for many ---
but it has a simple explanation.

An MCW signal consists of a carrier and an audio tone (the CW). Audio
tones, as you may remember can generate 'harmonics' so a 1 kHz tone
will also 'sound' at 2 and 3 and sometimes even 4 kHz.

NOW -- imagine if you were able to 'see' radio waves, and looked at
the radio spectrum. If you did that you would 'see' not only the
'carrier' at dead zero, but also see the code 'tones' at 1 kHz above
and if it is full AM MCW also below that carrier. If the signal has
'harmonics' present you will ALSO see code peaks at 2 kHz and maybe
even more remote away from that carrier.

NOW imagine you set your radio to only receive a TEENY TINY slice of
the radio spectrum as many people do to reduce noise when tuning CW. I
mean, the rest of the spectrum isn't sending any useful info so why
not filter it out? If you tuned in wide bandwidth AM none of this is
'obvious' but the minute you narrow down the bandwidth the details
come screaming to your attention.

NOW tune the radio to EXACTLY the carrier (267 in this example). What
do you hear? With a narrow bandwidth, you hear the solid tone of the
carrier and that's it. NOW, keep that bandwidth narrow and tune the
radio instead to 266 or 265 -- NOW you get the code, To add to the
confusion, if your radio is AT ALL 'off channel' when you TUNE to 265
you may really be tuning to 266 --- well I think you see what is
happening.

But even if your radio is 'dead on' if you tune to the 'carrier', you will
get nothing. Tune slightly lower or higher and voila, there's the code
with much better copy.

A photo of the spectrum from an SDR (so you actually CAN 'see' radio
waves!) may help (the one I can find quickly is a 400 Hz tone rather
than 1 kHz but the principles are the same.):

Note the radio is 'tuned' to 325.430 (+250 Hz) kHz. The station VV was
broadcasting on 326 with an 'audio tone' of about 400 Hz (Most US
stations use around 1000 Hz) and unlike most Canuks they used DSB
rather than RCUSB modulation so that 'lower' sideband is also there
'peaking' at 325.6 kHz. If you look at the 'waterfall' you'll actually
SEE the 'Dash Dot Dot Dot' code drawn out vertically on the screen but
NOT at 326 kHz where the carrier is. THAT is just a solid line. The
code is offset from the carrier at 325.6 and 326.4 kHz.

Does this clear up why an MCW station may 'appear' somewhere on the
radio dial other [than] the carrier frequency? [Indeed it will NEVER
actually appear on the carrier -- that is a solid tone and not the
code you're looking for.] The code will be 'offset' from the carrier
by a specific amount depending on the tone sent. Those 'offsets' can
be as distinctive as fingerprints and you'll note them listed in the
RNA database. 73 //Ken Z`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

reports to the WOR iog:

``I suspect HAARP is on 7000 right now with a whopping S9+40 signal on
all my antennas into Masset at 0447 tune-in. A huge unmodulated
carrier. Massive! Can't think what else it could be. Walt``

``An interesting pattern emerged on 3250 after going off for a few
seconds at 0630. Carriers were noted strongly also on 3100 and 3400,
and weakly below on 2950! Very interesting, for sure! Wish they'd
announce the experiments a bit more to understand them! 73, Walt``
