Glenn Hauser logs March 6+, 2024  View Printable Version 
Thursday, March 07 2024

Hauser
** CANADA. 15034 USB, March 6 at 1843, Trenton Military with a report
received from Shearwater, Shearwater. Had not run across it here nor
on night frequency 6754 USB, such as March 6 at 0729, for several
days, so wondering if gone again. May be irregular. At 2318 check, not
heard on either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 6 at 2000, no signal from RHC. So much for that
English hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, March 6 at 2317, RHC only S2/S6 direct, sup/torted
talk presumed Spanish or maybe Portuguese; 13650 CRI `Portuguese`
music only is back to normal. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11740-11780 approx., March 6 at 2319, RHC with wideband noise
again obviously out of the central 11760 transmitter reading S9+10/20
direct in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440-, March 6 at 2125, no signal into UTwente from R.
Cairo. So much for that English sesquihour. Something`s always amiss
at Abis, egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Mar 6 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct.
Amy previews main topic: jamón ibérico, going to visit a farm with a
herd of 120 special pigs. 2302 news, including scandal for the
socialist government about a 20 megaeuro contract for COVID masks;
some other scandal; drug runners killed two guardias civiles in Cádiz;
art exhibition. 2311 the pig story I care not to hear (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Wed Mar 6 at 2334, VOT English, S9+35/40 into
UTwente, commentary about Russia; 2340 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo;
2346 `Sports Panorama`, weekly, badax voiced, of zero interest. 2354
s/off as if the 1330 broadcast only; 2354.5 IS; 2356 restart IS with
German IDs; 2400 s/on extraneous German, and still running past 2425
with `Sports Panorama` ending, music. 2427.6* pull plug uncovering
XJRTV, std. denunciations. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28260 CW, March 6 at 1835, JBA beacon EEE VVV KC4QLP/B
copied after several passes. WI5V list is inaccessible; not in
outdated WJ5O list. RSGB list, Not Found either! but QRZ.com:

``KC4QLP USA flag USA, ROBERT W CARTER, 387 Inghams Mills Rd, Little
Falls, NY 13365, USA --- There is a new 10 meter beacon on the air
from here at 28.260 mhz. 10 watts TPO into a Sirio Tornado High Gain
5/8 Wave Base Antenna. The beacon operates on a continuous bases. QSL
via eQSL.cc only. Tech info can be found at
http://www.kc4qlp.com/beacon.html and at
https://www.qrz.com/db/KC4QLP/B ``

Lots more info on his multiple operations:
https://www.qrz.com/db/KC4QLP
I figured this would not be from Antarctica, where KC4 used to be the
exclusive? prefix for US bases. Now it could be anywhere CONUS not
even in the 4th call area! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday March 6 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR.
From next week with DST, this shifts one real UT hour earlier to 2330
UT Tuesdays.

Not confirmed Wed Mar 6 at 1520 the secret 1500 on WRMI 9955, instead
some misc. undermodulated music, same as on webcast. Skedgrid always
showed this Thu at 1500 but was really on Wed instead of FAD, in Dec,
Jan, and most of Feb until last week.

At 1530 when RAE in French is sked, instead nothing but continuous
multilingual RAE IDs - like this slot has been for weeks, months - a
total loss! At 1600, 9955 via Maryland SDR goes to gospel huxter,
while webcast splits away to DW Africa, presumably from WRN, past 1630
but about 1637 cut to more misc. music fill; and at 1700 into NHK
Newsline. Presumably also from WRN but WRN IDs are never to be
heard.

BTW, I notified Jeff about missing Xmtr 2 and Tuesdays on the skedgrid
and says he has restored them, unknown how that could happen.

WOR 2232 confirmed Wednesday March 6 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.001, S9/+15 into UTwente; following ADDX in German, but after
2000 there was ham news in Amerenglish.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 6 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490-, JBA direct
recognizable as me; slightly better 2227 during eclipse info, so is
correct episode. Due to imposition of DST March 10, from next week for
8 months will air one real hour earlier at 2100, further into daytime
absorption probably audible only via nearer remotes, webcast. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [from next week: 0130]
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975

Note: WRMI times on 9395 & 9955 shift one UT hour earlier from March
10 due to imposition of DST; while all others stay at same UT!

** YEMEN [non]. 11915, March 6 at 2320, S6/S7 of horrible noisebuzz
into UTwente, *just like* we heard until last week on 11820, and
before that on 11860, Sa`udi relay of Republic of Yemen Radio, since
the Houthis don`t allow it inside Yemen. I bet this be their new
chosen frequency, maybe running 18 hours a day, and indeed off after
2400 like 11820 had been, so what will it victimise here, per EiBi
listings?

On 11915 itself, nothing but CNR2 and RTI. 11920 nothing but one hour
a week of VORW via France! 11910, VOK and NHK, all of those on limited
skeds. At 2332 I check it into UTwente. In Sync mode if I punch in
11915 it displays 11914842.03 at S8. Rock steady while normal signals
wobble at least a little down to the hundredth of a Hz. If I step up
to 11920 and back to 11915, it then displays 11914840.44, again rock
steady. Down to 11910 and back up to 11915: 11915201.72 - apparently
the `lock` hits an exact spot within the noise bandwidth at the first
instant and stix to it!

At 0013 March 7 recheck, JBA signal on 11915 locking at UTwente but
then gone immediately. Maybe CNR2 gearing up for *0030 via as site,
which means Baoji-Sifangshan, Shaanxi, #724.

Then I see that Aoki, not EiBi already lists 11915: 1755-2257 R. Saudi
in Arabic from Riyadh, daily. Surely same transmitter but we can`t be
positive the inaudible programming be Yemenish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
Note: previous report should have been dated March 3-4-5, 2024

** 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!
Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2351 s/off with all-wrong times.
2353 IS. Chopoff just before 2356* restart so no German today.
Uncovers XJRTV at S9/+10 quite sufficient once it`s not blocked, std.
denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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
ON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday March 5 at 0342 the 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 and noisy into
Louisiana SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday March 5 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 direct, no
jamming audible. Next:

0030 UT Wednesday 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 #2231][SW suspended but still streamed?]
1500 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
[not Thu as on sked but Wed confirmed every week this year except Feb
28]
2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW,
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975

Note: WRMI times on 9395 & 9955 shift one UT hour earlier from March
10 due to imposition of DST; while all others stay at same UT!

** 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
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18162.06 AM, March 4 at 1612, long-winded ham about power
supply voltages. Was S9/+20 direct but fades down just as he IDs at a
1619 cambio. Don`t recall ever hearing a phoneham on AM instead of USB
on this ``17`` mb. By 1651 sounds like same guy into Missouri SDR, but
reads 18162.117v, clear ID as W7YO as he is QRT. QRZ.com: W7YO USA

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday March 3 from 2100.5 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.997 kHz, S7/S9
but noisy into UTwente across Europe, lite CCI music, de extreme
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.

Also confirmed Monday March 4 at 2057 the 2030 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.001, S9/+10 into UTwente; 2059 ID and `CQ Serenade`. Next:

** 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,
QRMing YHWH on 15410. Still going at 1728, at least three stations
between cambios (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8992 USB, Mar 3 at 1544, EAM just starting as I tune in a
bit too late to copy today`s unique handle. YL voice with self-induced
whine to make it annoying, sounding exactly same on // 15016 & 11175
USBs, no echoes. Likely from Andrews. Fonetik message starts:
MGAJ7K--- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday March 3 at 0100 on WRMI 9955, S7/9 into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday March 3 at 0507-0536 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
only S7 into nearby SDR and JBA direct, the nominal 0415v delayed by
overtime Houston AMSAT Tuesday net from nom. 0300, then much shorter
ARRL News for Friday started at 0454, lasting 13 minutes.

Also confirmed Sunday March 3 at 1143 when I happen to awaken, the
1130 on WRMI 9955, S9+20 and no jamming audible. Next:

** 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
S6/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZOMBIA. 4940, March 3 at 0741, Estación 4940 is on, S9+25 about
equal to noise level, in Spanish. Had been absent a few late nights
but not sure if totally off too, earlier in evening (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11820, the horrible Sa`udi roarer for Rep of Yemen
Radio is no longer heard, 1536 check March 3. Andy Reid, Ont., who
tries to hear BBC on 11825 in the 23 UT hour, first reported 11820
cleared of noise as of 2344 UT Feb 29. Perhaps the Riyadh NavyDude
visiting SBA/SRI got them to stop it. I never suggested the buzz on
11820 was a Cuban jammer, as Rick Barton misunderstood (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, March 3 at

UNIDENTIFIED. 9577.3 LSB, March 3 at 0403, 2-way in unID language;
9625.5 LSB approx, 2-way Spanish. Not much broadcasting audible around
this part of 31mb (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17745, Sun Mar 3 at 1534, weak unknown lang with
long/short path echo, prop flutter vertically, and Doppler flutter
horizontally. EiBi shows nothing on 17745 except BBC in Somali via
Woofferton, 1130-1300 SaSu and 1430-1730 Sa -- but this is Sunday!
Aoki shows BBC Somali but 1130-1300 WOF, 1300-1800 UAE and both on
days 1 & 7 only. HFCC shows several conflicting 17745 entries, three
covering 1530, all in Somali. Good luck in sorting them out!:

** ALASKA. HAARP testing March 2: highest frequency publicized, 9600
with open carrier, at 0240-0255, at first direct, then via KFS remote
where waterfall shows it accompanied by carriers on 9594, 9606, 9612,
and all four go off at 0244, back on at 0245, etc.

5800, another frequency possible until 0900: at 0737 rapid CW beeps at
rate of about 10 per second, perhaps HAARP direct. I wonder if it was
on 5800 earlier despite WRMI?

MHz frequencies publicized for the final night of the current series,
UT Sunday March 3 at 0200-0800: 2.8, 3.25, 3.3, 4.1, 5.4, 6.8, 9.6

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Mar 2 at 2341, LRA36 is underway,
S7/S9 into Argentine SDR with music, 2342 contact info starting with
whatsapp, also says every Saturday on their Collins HF80 transmitter
-- searching shows that was a 1 kW solid-state. Music, 2348 ID; 2358
repeat exactly same announcement as at 2342 so it`s canned, and stops
by 2400*, not another hour this time. I had reconfirmed the JBA
reduced carrier by stepping down in USB to 15475.5 or so (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 7295-7300-7305, Mar 2 at 0733, DRM noise, another TDF test

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5950, Sat Mar 2 at 0735, Alex Scourby with
Bible reading on TOMBS, this WRMI usually off at this hour, now //
5850; and after considerable delay, // 5890 WWCR which is sked
weekends only. Outdated System L program sked shows nothing after 05
UT; but the transmitter sked for WRMI-8 on 5950 shows TOMBS nightly
after 0700. 5950 is on 355 degrees, same as 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

Products`. 2332 ``always-by-your-side`` promo while 6CI understation,
music. 2353 s/off as if the 1330 broadcast only: something`s always
awry at Ankara. 2354 IS; 2356 restart IS with German ID: something`s
always erroneous at Emirler; chopoff at 2356.4*, no finesse,
uncovering XJRTV, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2232 monitoring: confirmed UT
