** CANADA. 284 kHz, March 2 at 0715 UT, dash and QD, NDBeacon from The
Pas, Manitoba with 500 watts. Tuning up from 30 kHz, this is the first
beacon audible! Not to mention no LWBC stations.
300 kHz, March 2 at 0718, dash and YOG, NDB from (where else?) Ogoki
Post, Ontario, 500 watts. That`s certainly a new one here calling for
looking up that place. Not in my Rand McNally but coÃrdinates put it
just about in the center of the province between Pickle Lake and James
Bay; in the Marten Falls First Nation; ICAO: CYKP.
332 kHz, March 2 at 0720, dash and QT, a kilowatt NDB from Thunder
Bay, Ontario. At first I copied it as QE -- is their dit a bit too
prolonged? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Two more: see USA
** CUBA. 5040, March 2 at 0701, it`s time for RHC to have closed but
5040 is S9+20 and open carrier with hum; 6165 S9 to S7 dead air and
off at 0702*. 6000 & 6060 & 6100 already off. 5025 Rebelde is S9+20
like 5040 but at least undermodulated; Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13700, March 2 at 1444, RHC is S9+30 of dead air except
whine, but shortly cut on talk JIP. No big FM spurs, but JBA blobitos
detected at 13728.288, 13756.586, 13671.716 and circa 13643.2, too
weak to pinpoint, i.e. plus and minus ~28.28 kHz multiples so
obviously spewing out from 13700 transmitter. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165 & 6000, March 3 at 0139, both RHC English are S9+20 and
quite undermodulated; whilst 6060 Spanish is VG S9+20. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 353 kHz, March 2 at 0723, a four-letter NDB, INLI?? But then
the IN and LI spread further and further apart. Two different ones at
same pitch: IN, 100 watts from International Falls (brrr) - Ray,
Minnesota; and much closer LI, 400 watts from Little Rock, Arkansas

Confirmed? on WRMI 9955, Sat March 2 sometime between 1230 and 1300,
good; or did I dream it? Not found on my log notes, zzzz.
Not confirmed after 1531 on HLR 9485-CUSB, never direct, but not
audible at UTwente either; and the Italia SDR was occupied by limit 4
users. Alan Gale, England, also reports: ``Hi Glenn, Nothing at all
heard on 9485 kHz here. Maybe it was down to the current solar
activity, or it may have been that the skip had just gone a bit long
again, but whatever it was I didn't hear World of Radio or anything
else on HLR this afternoon unfortunately. Better luck next week I
hope! Alan``
Confirmed Sat Mar 2 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, P-F S7-S9.
Also confirmed UT Sun Mar 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, very good.

** U S A [and non]. 620, March 2 at 0709 UT, Spanish as previously
discovered from KEXB The Metroplex, overnight, giving phone numbers,
and 0732 mentions versÃculos, so these clues lead me to believe that
Radio Oasis is in fact religious, without having to listen to it much.
(OK has an Oasis network of gospel-huxtering in English, unrelated?)
but listening to it much now is difficultized by heavy QRM from
something with C&W music; what could that be on 620? NRC AM Log shows
only one US C&W station: KWAL Wallace ID, 1/1 kW U2. But far more
likely it`s CKRM Regina, 10/10 kW U4, which I have heard before. Did
not try to DF it, but would be roughly opposite from KEXB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880-DSB, March 2 at 0736 UT, vigorous dance music in the
nightmiddle in Spanish, including ``ÂÂÂvivan los programadores, vivan
los locutores, vivan los bailadores!!! 0739 ``La Tremenda, 8-80, La
Raza``. Dominant signal despite KRVN, and certainly not KHAC-USB,
rather the ``Race`` station, WIJR, Highland IL (St Louis mkt),
1700/160 watts U4 --- probably day facilities. I wonder how much it
cut into WCBS` protected coverage area? 843 miles apart (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, March 3 at 0137, VOV news in Englishish.
Apparently this is not a mistake instead of Spanish. Peter W Hansen,
FL, says ``All of the broadcasts at 0130 UT that I have heard since
the beginning of the B18 season have been in English. First broadcast
is at 25 degrees for the northeast [0000]. Second broadcast is at 160
degrees to the south [0100]. And this third broadcast at 260 degrees
to the southwest.`` Indeed this one is very strong from WHRI,
S9+30/40. I guess that leaves Spanish at 0030 only, but at times I had
heard English during that semihour too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3455-USB, March 3 at 0125, JBA air-ground comms in noise
level mentioning nautical miles, flight levels. EiBi lists as New
York, San Francisco and Guam, so a busy frequency. Hope the pirates
drawn to aero bands avoid this and other frequencies in use for vital
flight contacts. I was looking for Saturday night pirates and not
finding any, not even from SWL Winterfest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
