** CUBA. 5025, Mar 29 at 0630, S9+25/30 of dead air, electrical and
fuel wastage from R. Rebelde. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Mar 29 at 0637, RHC S9+28 of deadair. Something`s
always wrong at RHC; no others found with 9710 Vaticanned (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Mar 29 at 1424, RHC in Spanish S9+20 and even better
on 11760. BTW, have not run across legacy 15230 frequency in many
weeks of random tuning; nor 13780 which was a new frequency briefly
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13690, Mar 29 at 0635, RNZP S9+10/25, VG
ex-13755/11725, sounds like BBC on 9915 but not // or way out of synch
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 7440, Mar 29 at 1352, RNZP JBA S6/S7, ex-7390. Still
inadequate here but not for us anyway and will only worsen into our
summer. Sked 13-17 with only 50 kW on 325 and/or 35 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15390, Mar 29 at 1422, checking out REE`s new A26
frequencies, this one continues to be AWOL on the African beam,
ex-AWOL 17755 for months. 17715 is S9 and SSOB for S America, even
better than 15500 for NAm S7/S9: at least that`s an improvement over
9690 in B-season which was way too low on an all-day path even in
winter. 15520 for ME is JBA S5, but might be needed for us at the next
transmitter failure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 17620, Mar 29 at 1308, VOT`s NF for first English of the
day from 1230, only JBA S3/S4 here despite aimed thisaway beyond W
Europe. Could not be sure it`s really in English. No doubt the five
English repeats will continue claiming to be at 1230 on 17620 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 15320, Mar 29 at 1425, ME music, suspect Turkey NF, also at
1445, and at 1500, 5+1 timesignal, news. Yes, HFCC shows TRT/VOT in
Turkish at 1300-1600, 250 kW, 310 degrees also thisaway (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11660.019+, Sun Mar 29 at 1645, VOT English on new A29
frequency and time, for S Asia, but good S9+25 backwards into UTwente,
and the first convenient chance for me to monitor weekly `Letterbox
Programmme`. It had been airing right after the news but not any more,
or at least not today. Efsun with her careful but hard-to-follow
accent lasted until 1648, then `Geoeconomix Diary` read by Cemre,
about the IMF and World Bank. 1657 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 1659
classical music from Borodin`s Polovtsian Dances! 1703 finally
`Letterbox` theme and Cemre opening; first gives new A26 English
schedule, but forgets to include the final repeat at 03 UT. 1706
finally to letters: 1) Annan? --? Bayn?, of SWL club in India about
last week`s contest, but first he`s against the war in Iran, praises
VOT for ``impartial`` news about it. The answer to the contest was
somewoman whose name I can`t possibly copy, apparently a celebrity in
Turkey, a dietician? and champion free-diver, explaining what that`s
about; Of 58 entries, 55 got it right [and why should we care...?]. 2)
Mr --? Nakamura, Kyoto, Japan, heard 9660. 3) Jayanta Chakraborty, New
Delhi, wrote thrice this week; is economist; IDing a song for him,
logged Russian broadcast. 4) Jakov? Lizh?, Czech Rep. 5) Nicolai?
Rossi?, Montevideo, Uruguay, heard Portuguese on 7280. 1721 ending,
1722 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 9915, March 29 at 0645, `Weekend` on BBCWS, good direct,
sounds like same voices on NZ new 13690 but not // or at least not
synch. 06-07 is the only A26 hour of BBC on this legacy OOB
frequency, 125 kW, 65 degrees from ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2340 monitoring in A26: At 0630 UT
Sunday March 29 on WRN via WRMI, ex-0730: fortunately I am awake to
check since no one replied to my request: now confirmed only on 5850
S9+20/25, and 7780 S9/+15, both with a ``hollow`` sound in degraded

SMTV // 9395; algo else on 15770 JBA.

UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 29 at 0641, S8/S7 of dead air with JBA

A26 DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS, WOR SCHEDULE UPDATED, AND WOR HITLIST have
already been sent separately to this same mailing list, q.v.

** COLOMBIA. 28612 USB, March 28 at 1935, HK1T wih quick contest
contacts. QRZ.com: ``HK1T Colombia flag Colombia, Salim (Sal) Gechem
R., Barranquilla, Atlantico, Colombia`` Hardlyany phonehams venture
above 28.5, let alone 28.6 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Re: ``[non]. 530, March 28 at 0655 UT, JBA music, too weak to
be R.
Enciclopedia if on; that leaves CHLO Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)``

``Hello Glenn, FYI, Encic 530 has been running at low power for at
least several weeks, compared to their historical baseline. No doubt
apagón related. The Rebelde tx on Isla de la Juventud has been burying
them most of the time here. David E. Crawford, Indian River City,
Florida Libre`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** MADEIRA. 28559 USB, March 28 at 1933, CQ2W making quick contest
contacts. Not in QRZ.com, but three contacts around this time in
dxheat/cluster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125.003+, S9+20/30 & 7285.018-, S9/+15 into UTwente, Mar
29 at *0359, VOT cuts on with IS, timesignal, and opening Malay!!!
It`s A26 now and Malay should be on 17720 only, one UT hour earlier
than 05 in the B-season. Those were the English! frequencies at 0400
in the B-season; missed checking, but English is now to be at 0300 on
6165 & 7275, and the targets exchanged between S Asia and N America.
So they`ve got the wrong language AND on the wrong frequencies! At
0440 still on 6125 & 7285, nothing on 17720. Something`s extremely
erroneous at Emirler - if not awry at Ankara. Will they get this
unraveled by 24 hours later? Also: why does VOT make one-hour shifts
between A and B seasons? Turkey does NOT observe DST, stays at UT+3,
and many of its targets, including India and Malaysia, do not either!
No wonder they get unnecessarily confused (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2340 monitoring: confirmed Saturday

Confirmed UT Sunday March 29 at 0030 on IRRS/IPAR/NEXUS/IBA webcast

ambient music show. These were not funding acknowledgements, but legal
IDs as if we were really listening to those stations. Also heard the
IDs at an odd time during previous hour. Never noticed this before on
BtB, which I try to hear every UT Sat at 0300-0500 on KUCO. I guess it
originate on WPR, but WPNE is supposedly on the WPR News network, WHAD
on Music network. It`s also replayed a few hours later before sunrise,
part of KUCO`s secret overnight programming. I searched out info:

https://www.wpr.org/shows/beyond-barrier
``WPR Beyond The Barrier -- Host Chris Kuborn’s musical journey is
continuing on from “Jazz Odyssey.” Since 2006, Chris offered listeners
the best in modern jazz. He’ll now take listeners on another musical
journey into the world of electronic and ambient music. “Beyond The
Barrier” features soundscapes and music from the early pioneers in
this genre to today’s newest artists. The program also features live,
never-before heard music created just for each episode.

Schedule - This program has been retired. Hosted by Chris Kuborn.

Not confirmed Saturday March 28 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI 7730: cannot
detect any signal into GA, FL, Bermuda SDRs, not even Miramar which
used to perceive it by groundwave. From next week, WRN will be at

From now and for an unknown time, at least for 3years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs for DXing. Recently wemoved from the village back to the city in a space that prohibits the use ofdesktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise in the LMHF bands. Theradio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we run politically livelycondition with always very interesting twits every day ..
