music, nice enough and more multi-IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. 28460 USB, Mar 31 at 2206, VK3EY calling CQDX several
times. Fortunately fonetix since when pronouncing his letters, the E
sounds like A or even O, to Amerears. QRZ.com: ``VK3EY Australia flag
Australia, ROB PUISE, NO DIRECT QSL, No Email QSL, SHEPPARTON,

Shepparton! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Mar 31 at 2220, S9+10 of deadair from RHC, except for
some rapid clickery wideband but seemingly centered and out of this

local noise level on 10m is very low, barely nudging the S meter.
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay are typical deep South Americans

another frequency.
1408, QSO between WPFY721 and WNBE830 making early check-in: Seminole

Previews subjects: digital rights protexions vs AI, a fair in Madrid;
2201 news leads with Spain closing its airspace to USA due to Iran
war; can`t use two US bases there. Not afraid of reprisals. Similar
restrixions in France, Italy. Clip of Marco Rubio about NATO... And we
have to close down with lightning storms approaching. And there is
something rather more important about to happen from Florida into
International Vacuum (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.006+, Tue Mar 31 at 2155, VOT IS, S9/+10 direct but
noisy, 2200 timesignal and opening: seems different soft-spoken male
voice than usual and can`t be sure at first it`s really English; but
VOT news and other sounders as usual. At 2234 into UTwente when
measured, S9+20/25 music; 2239 Cemre narrating algo, 2245 outro for
`Conflict Zones in Africa` as in Alan Roe`s program sked, music. 2249
``always-by-your-side`` promo, music; 2252 s/off as if it`s the 1230

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.003+, April 1 at 2158 and still 2204, no signal
direct from VOT English. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. By
2224 check into UTwente, when measured, it`s on amid `Letterbox`
repeat, S9+30. 2254 recheck, IS is playing. 2256 pause and restart IS
with German IDs, up to old trix. 2302 still going in extraneous
German, finally chop at 2303* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1290, March 31 at 0635 UT, without really trying, as I tune
across, WIRL Peoria IL, announcing they are going to close down at
*noon* March 31 - so they did not mean midnight by ``12 PM``.
Permanent signoff, but conservative talk continues on so-called
``Freedom 95.9``. Then repeated. So that`s 1700* UT Tuesday March 31.
Less than one sesquihour to go as I [first] post this.

At 1655 UT March 31, I tune in via the ``Will it play in Peoria``
KiwiSDR, joining 5 others listening there. Same about-to-sign-off
announcement repeats over and over, then at 1658 a final final
announcement by a station official whose name I do not catch or
record, ``...for the final time, this is WIRL, Peoria, Illinois,
signing off``, and plug pulled right at 1700* UT. Nothing but noise in
the daytime. The closest surviving 1290s can be found in WI, MI, KY.
We may take some comfort in one less far-right talker infesting the AM
band. Here`s the remaining website:

UNIDENTIFIED. 5910, March 31 circa 06? UT, JBA carrier I did not even
log, but Wolfgang Bueschel reports this date: ``COLOMBIA 5909.981 kHz
Alcaraván Radio poor S=6-7 at 0457 UT``. Sibling LV de tu Conciencia
has been reliably on 6010+, but not the 5910. Per EiBi & Aoki A26, the
only other 5910 is Romania between 1430 and 2000, so should not be a
problem. However, HFCC adds that 5910 is a 24h standby/placeholder by
Vatican Radio for IRDR - the rarely if ever activated International
Radio for Disaster Relief (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
