slightly stronger, even when tuning USB. Same problem they`ve had for
years in A-seasons, but stubbornly stick to it. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler. S9+10/25 at 2250 into UTwente when measured,
with multi-lingual ID filler reel, Brasil not a problem there, JBA

** 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:

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

** ASCENSION. 6180, Mon March 30 at 0519, sped-up dialog in African
language, S9+10/20. HFCC shows BBC Hausa daily except Sundays. Brasil
would not be on at this hour, but watch out: not in HFCC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

a lot of that lately. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn

broadcasters there now, nor 13815; and no 13825s in the WHem (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 730, March 30 at 0505, anthem playing but not the national,
then ID for XEHB, ``La Más Picuda``, 104.7. Reminds me not to assume
it`s XEX on 730 - now reduced to only 60 kW and several others listed.
XEHB is in Hidalgo del Parral, Chihua2. Picuda translates as
Barracuda, really? But the whole slogan as ``The Baddest One``. I had
logged it in 2010y, after it moved from 770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 11785, Sun Mar 29 at 2210, NO signal from VOT English
on new A26 frequency and time into UTwente! Here we go again; nor on
9875, possible overrun of previous 2030-2130 broadcast; however,
strong Esperanto on 9880, i.e. CRI Kashgar 500 kW 269 degrees for
CIRAF 13-15. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4095, March 30 at 0514, sweeps upward are JBA, from ``Desert
Whooper`` which also sends DW in CW, that not yet heard again. But in
Oct 2021, I got this reply from desert_whooper@protonmail.com -- ``Hi
Glenn! The Whooper’s carrier is crystal controlled at 4095.65 KHz. The
CW is at the crystal frequency and the whoops are an upward sweep
from 4095.65 to 4095.80 (150 Hz). With a receiver tuned to 4095.0 KHz
and an upper sideband filter that is 60 dB down at 6 Khz it would be
possible to hear two signals mix together. All the best, DW team``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6586 USB, March 30 at 0521, 2-way ATC contact, exchanging
numbers like 3564. EiBi shows only NY Radio with Caribbean (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2340 monitoring: as per sked of
IRRS SW via AM Italia, repeated one hour later, Sunday March 29 at
2000 UT on 1322.997- kHz, S9 into UTwente.

Confirmed Sunday March 29 at 2155 the 2130 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
3975.001+, S8/9+5 into UTwente.

Confirmed Sunday March 29 at 2300 on WRMI 9395, S9+30 into Georgia
SDR, but drops off air for a few sex every minute. At 2322, I posted
this: ``WRMIs cutting off and on, stormy? The 2300 WOR on WRMI 9395 is
constantly interrupted by transmitter dropoffs for a few sex at a
time; same thing happening on 9455 vs Wavescan; and on 9955, and
15770, and I assume all WRMIs. Blitzortung shows no major storm in
area, but maybe a very tiny one near Okee. I guess all power at the
station is going off and on. Have not noted a problem like this
before, resulting in unlistenable programming. Glenn``

``Hi Glenn, I've been listening since the beginning of the show and
I'm still listening. It sounds fine here in central NC. On 9395 kHz.
I'm listening to WOR on 9455 now. It sounds ok so far, but
I've been listening only for a couple of minutes. 2333. I listened to
the rest of WOR on 9455 kHz at 2330 and it sounded fine. I missed the
first couple of minutes. Doug White KA5ETS, Carrboro, NC``

``9455 also OK here after 2330. If you had no breaks on 9395, it must
have been the remote I was listening via, KU4SD in Athens, GA. Sure
seemed like a transmission rather than reception problem. Glenn``

Also confirmed Sunday March 29 at 2330 on WRMI 9455, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 30 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+10 into S
Texas SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday March 30 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast, just as

** U S A. 5085, March 30 at 0248, this WTWW is off again, and earlier
this evening (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, Mon March 30 at 0526, operatic singing on WRMI. Maybe
Prague which was at 0600-0630 on WRN in B-season; WRN A-26 not yet up
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, March 30 at 0515, WWCR-3 gospel huxter with constant
squeal, i.e. pitch slightly varying, on both the R75 and PL660, so a
transmission defect. Scheduled this hour only on Mondays is ``The
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the`` + run out of space on the
grid. Something`s notright at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, March 30 at 0524, WRNO undermodulated, not Chinese or
English, so probably Hindi, pauses. EiBi shows Hindi irr. at 0300-0430
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 560, March 30 at 0459 UT, KWTO plug for ``93-7 The Stage``,
Springfield. That`s KZMO, merely 1.1 kW H&V, in Fair Grove MO. KWTO`s
own FM is a mere translator on 93.3. Fair Grove is just NE of Spfld.
One wonders why anystation obviously intended to serve a much larger
city be licensed to such an outlier town (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, March 30 at 0507 UT, Navajo chanting, so must be KTNN
yet again failing to null toward New York; makes it hard to hear XEFZ,
close to right angle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``970 KVWM Show Low, AZ -- I had noted this station
considerably off frequency at about 969.84 on March 21st. I can only
receive them under auroral conditions, so didn't get them again until
March 28th at 0600 UTC, but this time they were on 969.42. I didn't
make the connection at the time, but this could well be the cause of
the low audible het Glenn Hauser noted in his report for March 20th,
from a freq of about 969.935. Given the current offset, and the speed
with which it is getting worse I'm assuming this will have to be
addressed soon, but in the meantime KVWM certainly stands out. 73,
Nigel Pimblett, Dunmore, AB`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** VATICAN. Re: ``11815, Mar 29 at 0638, RCC chanting, Slavic lang,
S9+20/25, and // 9710 at 0643. In A26 this is Ukrainian liturgy
Sundays only at 0605-0700, supposedly aimed 54 and 62 degrees, nowhere
near sidewise thisaway yet VG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``

``The Ukrainian liturgy isn't anything at all like the RCC, Glenn.
It's basically an Orthodox service (only chanting/singing, and never
any instruments like organs, etc). The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church
originates from the Union of Brest back in 1594 (I think), where the
Orthodox Church split, with the Uniate faction (UGCC) uniting with the
Church in Rome. All a very interesting history. You'd have trouble
differentiating the 2 liturgies, although they do mention the Pope, of
course, in the Uniate Church rather than the Patriarch. In Ukraine,
the Orthodox and UGC churches only have their liturgies in Ukrainian
these days, while the ROC still celebrates in Church Slavonic. Sorry
for the history lesson, Glenn! Walt Salmaniw -- Enjoying the world of
radio from my remote QTH on Haida Gwaii off the NW coast of BC,
Canada``

Volodya, OK, but are you saying the RCC`s own VR broadcasts would not
strictly adhere to RCC liturgies? Tho to an outsider this seems like
splitting hairs. Glenn

``That's exactly correct, Glenn. Nothing Roman Catholic at all.
Perhaps anything in Russian also wouldn't have any "RCC" flavour,
either. Whenever I've been in a RCC church service, it feels
absolutely foreign to me, while any Orthodox service, be it Greek,
Armenian, or Ukrainian, I feel quite at home with the service (lots of
chanting, incense, and the like) Walt`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1650 kHz, March 30 at 0501 UT, continuous less than 1
kHz tone, not a het since it`s DSB audible. Maybe KSVE El Paso TX
which used to tone all-night, rather than TUDN sports in Spanish - but
no tone at next check 0509 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

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

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
propagation, instead of 4 or 5 at a time: 5950 and 7730 off; 7570 with
SMTV // 9395; algo else on 15770 JBA.

Also confirmed Sunday March 29 at 1044 the now 1030 ex-1130 on WRN via

** VATICAN. 11815, Mar 29 at 0638, RCC chanting, Slavic lang,
S9+20/25, and // 9710 at 0643. In A26 this is Ukrainian liturgy
Sundays only at 0605-0700, supposedly aimed 54 and 62 degrees, nowhere
near sidewise thisaway yet VG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, March 29 at 0641, S8/S7 of dead air with JBA
clix every trisecond. One of those long mysteries, what is this? Noise
level barely low enough to audiblize the clix. Last logged Nov 17,
2025. Among other carrier mysteries always ending in -6 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
