** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Mar 24 at 2258, WRMI with `Top of Hour`
IS & ID; 2300 cut to JIP not RAE, but domestic R. Nacional ID with 8
pm timecheck, talk about stupid ballgames. 2302 show about ``vocación
nacional``. Usual VG sig aimed right at us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See
also USA

** ARGENTINA [and non]. 28398 USB, March 24 at 2217, LW3DG quick
contact with XE1RIA also audible, in Spanish, then LW3DG calling CQ in
English. QRZ.com: ``LW3DG Argentina flag Argentina, Eduardo Gómez, QTH
Postcard: Av Dardo Rocha 433 entre 4 y 5 Berazategui, CP: B 1884
Buenos Aires Argentina B 1884, Argentina`` with a lot about the
hassles of QSLing. And:

``XE1RIA Mexico flag Mexico, ADONIS IGLESIAS RODRIGUEZ, P. O. BOX
19-052, D.F. 03901, Mexico`` -- so call = initials in reverse order.

Only few other sigs audible on 10m but unlike yesterday not because of
S9 local high line noise level. A few hours after I left a message for
the OG&E noise guy, it`s greatly diminished to virtually S0: but I`m
afraid that`s coincidental. Still pretty high on LW (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, March 24 at 2212, RHC Spanish S9+10 with goodmod,
while // 11760 is S9/+10 with windhowl. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, March 25 at 0619, RHC S9+25 somewhat overmodulated in
Spanish, along with 9395 WRMI the SSOB by far (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, March 25 at 0633, R. Rebelde, S9+25 of dead air in
Spanish; next check 1355, no trace of a carrier. SAWA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** HONDURAS. 28470 USB, March 25 at 2202, HQ9UM, YL op with quick
contacts, QRZ? At 2259 now an OM op, says power 900 watts. QRZ.com:
``HQ9UM Honduras flag Honduras, Theodore A "Ted" Krieger, 4593 Tally
Ho Trail, BOULDER, CO 80301, USA -- Violetta (KN2P), Ted (N7VZ), and
Mark (W7UM) operating from Roatan Island, Honduras (IOTA NA-057). 24
March - 31 March 2026, QRV for CQ WW WPX SSB`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MONTSERRAT. 28405 USB, March 25 at 2159, quick US contacts; must
be some contest. QRZ.com: ``VP2MPN Montserrat flag Montserrat, Corey
Landrum, Po Box 28432, Henrico, VA 23228, USA.
Island Hopper Group will be operating from Gingerbread Hill in St
Peters Montserrat for CQWW SSB``. The local line noise level on 10m
now is up to S6/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed March 25 from 1400 UT, weekly net
opened by YL NCS this week, WSHM692, ``Oklahoma --?-- HF test net``,
counts 12345 54321, 30 second pause to tune your transmitters. Breanna
gives her ham call KM4UJS, otherwise WSHM692, and 1402 starts roll
call, each a second time if no answer first time, which the alternate
OM NCS does not do. Letters in calls always pronounced fonetikaly, and
mentions locations unlike the alternate OM NCS:
WQYW443, Beckham County ESP [or EFT? several with letters like this,
not sure of them];
WQZT582, Broken Arrow;
WQSY836, Byng EOC, Jeff ans, no traffic;
WNPV700, Durant ESP, Bill, no traffic, loud & clear;
WQYW883, City of Moore ESP, ans?;
WNUW216, Oklahoma City, Max[?];
WNUW215, Ponca City EOC, VG, Jason answers, tnx for warm welcome last
week, L&C;
KNGR728, Pontotoc County EOC, Chad ans; asks if she heard Byng;
WPFY721, Seminole EOC, Ernie ans;
WNBM839, Stillwater, Joe ans;
WNCH624, Tulsa EOC;
WNBE830, Missouri State EOC, Jefferson City, Corey ans;
1408: any others? No, closes net till same time next week;
1409 informal QSO WNBE830 and WPFY721;
1410 Wild Bill in Durant contacts Ernie in Seminole, about weather,
housing, Silo school district, millage rate; WNPV700 slips and gives
his? ham call NR5X? unfonetik, before closing at 1415. But that is
someone else in Caddo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ST LUCIA. 21289 USB, Mar 25 at 2206, J62K, CQ and quick contest
contacts. Pauses between the 6 and the 2; so J6 is the prefix, not 62?
QRZ.com, with 13 strict rules for QSLing: ``J62K St Lucia flag St
Lucia, SLCC Saint Lucia Contest Club, Soufriere, St Lucia`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030 & 9690, Mar 25 at 2256, REE roughly equal good signals
direct, but 12030 less noisy even tho it`s aimed away from US, for
2300 token English on Wednesdays; much better than 17715 for S
America. The heavily accented M&W intro and 2301 news leading with PM
Sánchez expressing opposition to Drumpf`s war on Iran, likely to lead
to negative consequences for Spain. I expect Ken Zichi will report a
very detailed log of this hour, so I don`t have to (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 17790 // 15770, March 25 at 2212, R. Taiwán
Internacional via WRMI, equally VG S9+20/30 and S9+20, after contact
info, `Taiwán en 360 Grados`, interviewing visiting alcalde de
Belmopán, Belice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 24 at 2300, VOT probably JBA direct opening
English, not off the air but sufficient into UTwente.

5960, March 25 at 2301, NO signal direct, and still no signal at 2338
into UTwente, just Chinese. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
No 9610 overrun either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2339 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
March 24 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.996, S9 into nearby
Noale SDR.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday March 25 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+30 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday March 25 from 0031 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975.002, S2/S3 JBA into Carlow, Ireland SDR, not into
UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 25 at 2031 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
3975.001-, S9+5/10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday March 25 at 2101 on WBCQ 7490 -80 Hz =
7489.920, S8/9+5 into NH SDR.

``Glenn, WTWW 5085 will be up and running this Friday night and your
program, if nothing else bad happens --- still finishing repairs and
adding a new audio filter to reduce bandwidth. George McClintock
3-24-2026`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9930, March 25 at 1842, WTWW is unusually OFF, no TOMBS.
Propagation poor but WWCR 13845 & 12160 still inboom. All would be
SSOB. Greenvilles also audible but hardly strongs. 9930 back on at 2030
check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, March 25 at 2218 and still 2222, WRMI with S9+10 of
dead air - or trace of mod? or cross-mod. Not checked after 2230
whether still DA, but at 2255, presumably from usual 2250, the IS&IS
loop leading up to resuming programming at top-of-hour, which it does
with VORW since this is Wednesday. At 2330 keeps going rather than
chopped off like last weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also
ARGENTINA [non]

** U S A. 7505, March 25 at 0625, WRNO still on, only S6/S7 with JBM
music, English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1330 kHz, March 25 at 2224 UT, routine daytime bandscan
notices that KNSS is quite undermodulated compared to neighbor of
approx. equal strength S9+10, 1340 KGHM MWC, or anything else; just as
it IDs as ``KNSS, Wichita`s #1 talk`` along with FM 98.7 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28450 USB, March 23 at 2213, PY4JW quickly working US
stations, QRZ? Only a few phonesigs make it thru the local S9 high
local line noise level here. Must get the OG&E guy on it. A quick
multi-band scan MHz by MHz on the R75, finds the worst noise peaks on
28, 19, 8 down to 4 MHz. QRZ.com: ``PY4JW Brazil flag Brazil, JÉBER
WILKER COLARES, Rua Rio Pardo 244 - Centro, Taiobeiras-MG - Cep
39550-000, Brazil`` page full of certificates and antenna shots (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 13650, March 23 at 2306, CRI ``Portuguese`` music fill
via CUBA is missing; apagón aftermath saving the ChiCom some pesos?
Doubt it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, March 23 at 2224, RHC dead air with howl now here
instead of 15140 earlier in day; while 11880 is S9+10/30 in Spanish,
but somewhat undermod with hum. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, March 24 at 0630, RHC with S9 dead air with some hum;
and 11760, S7/9+20 of DA with windhowl. Ho, hum, the incompetence
prolongs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 9800 USB, March 24 at 0213, S9+20 of Mix Radio
International with heavily produced IDs; tnx to this tip: ``[WOR] Mix
Radio International on 9800 USB as of 0200 UTC - This North American
pirate's playing electronic and contemporary music up in the 31-meter
band tonight. I'm hearing a very good signal via an SDR in Wisconsin.
Out here near Seattle where we're still pre-sunset, I'm getting just
barely audible music at times. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens,
Washington USA. My QSL website: https://treehouseswl.mystrikingly.com
`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.5, March 23 circa 2340 UT, it`s been quite a while
since I have driven thru the intersexion of S. Cleveland & W. Owen K.
Garriott in Enid, where there has been the focal point of a very weak
pirate with rock music. Yes, it`s still there, undermodulated rock and
$ tereo pilot is on; barely enough to overcome the adjacent 95.7 local
and two fringe Okies on 95.5 itself. Never heard any announcements,
let alone ID, but never listened for more than a few minutes.
Meanwhile no signals around downtown on 93.1 or 95.1 today nor lately
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 16, Virtual 46, KOCM Norman OK, is only 27 kW ERP, and
usually not strong enough to decode thru my antenna, altho its main
channel is on coveted low cable channel 6. Gospel huxters. However,
when I am getting it direct with a bit of tropo help? I discover 46-3,
KOCM-SD which is Daystar Reflections [sic, no x`s here!], showing
scenes of nature with locations captioned, and quiet relaxing music,
not necessarily religious, with Bible verses - if you ignore those
intrusions, it`s quite pleasant. March 24 circa 0500 UT, after
watching only a couple hours, I hope I am correct that it`s 24/7 like
this? Here`s the full network listing:
https://www.rabbitears.info/search.php?request=network_search&network=Daystar+Reflections
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 23 at 2306, VOT is JBA direct, presumably in
English. Maybe will be much better from next week on 11785 at 2200
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2339 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday March 24 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+10 into S Texas SDR. Once
again a preceding talk program cut off abruptly at 0330; I have no
idea what it be. Need to check at 0300.

Also confirmed Tuesday March 24 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9.

Also confirmed Tuesday March 24 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, by now degraded

** U S A. 5085, March 23 at 2140, George McClintock notifies me that
this WTWW transmitter is finally back on the air, so unless something
else go wrong, WORLD OF RADIO should appear UT Saturday at 0300. Not
on the air when I turn on right away, but is at 2200 into Georgia SDR
with `Scriptures for America`, S9+35, then cut modulation, so just
testing. At 2208 direct, S9+10/20 vs high local noise level. Off at
2303, but sked before fracasal was limited, only from 0100? But still
not back on air after 0100 or before 0300 March 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Mon Mar 23 at 2018, WRMI in Russian, S6/S8. Altho
have added some seculars like R. Liberty and WRN clients, this on
System G is `E. Bible Fellowship` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Mon Mar 23 at 2222, S9/+10 of dead air from WRMI-11
which skedgrid shows xmtr not starting until 2300 with System D. Nor
accounted for in any other System program grid. At 2300 starts to play
`Joy to the World`, harmonious version with guitar & chorus in
English; what? Xmas carols can`t be played in March! 2305 segué to
another song. Certainly not RAE relay in Portuguese as still
scheduled, nor in Japanese, Chinese or Spanish. What next? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1440 kHz, KPUR Amarillo: more about that as in previous log,
from radio-locator.com about its FM side: ``Claude, Texas, "Texas 95.7
the Armadillo", Station Format: Country, tell me about "Country"
stations, find more Country stations. https://www.957kpur.com/
:website``

Note: may well be the only station formerly named for an armadillo --
or was that a typo for Amarillo?! WTFDA FMDB finds none in the Slogan
field. BTW, we have a resident armadillo on our property; need to ask
if s/he be familiar with KPUR. See:

https://www.nwf.org/Magazines/National-Wildlife/2019/April-May/Animals/Armadillos
https://nickfinder.com/Armadillo
https://fulcharmnames.com/funny-names-for-armadillos/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9695, March 24 at 0214, classical music, as first
reported by John Figliozzi, presumably still in Florida: ``9695 -
Classical music from an as yet undetermined and unlisted station
(China via Cuba perhaps?)`` - surely not, but I hear more of it at
0629, S5. Nothing at all listed at these times in Aoki, EiBi - could
it be a new A26 operation jumping the gun? Nothing there either nor in
B25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
