** ANTARCTICA. 15475.97-USB, March 6 at 1820-1835+, LRA36 with songs,
poor signal via another Brazilian KiwiSDR since Pardinho is already
maxed out at 8 users. Hello to Dan Robinson, who has done the same.
Tnx to tip from Manuel Méndez, Spain, that it`s already on prior to
publicized special broadcast at 1900 about summer activities around
the bases (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 399 kHz, March 6 at 0650 UT, NDB dash and ZHD, which is 25
watts from Dryden - Barclay, Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 2749-USB, March 6 at 0727, TWO CCG stations with marine
weather in French QRMiing each other at about equal levels, same
roboyl voice, but apparently different content, not merely offset
echoing. As I have noted a number of times before, none scheduled
before 0737 or 0740; per http://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm the possible
bilingual stations on 2749 are: VCO Sydney NS at 0740; VCN Escoumins,
Québec from 0847; and VAR-9 Yarmouth (Halifax) NS from 1040; and no
languages specified from VCS-21 Halifax at 0810. Canadian CG needs to
get its acts together, or rather separated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5040, March 6 at 0720, RHC is still on with dead air except
for humsqueal. 6060 is DA at S9+10; 6145 and 6100 are modulating
English; 6000 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Once hit by
DST, I hope not to be awake and monitoring after 0630 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15700, March 6 at 1502, CRI Plus relay is S9+30 but suptorted
also with tone. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
15230, March 6 at 1503, RHC is unusually off, while 15140 remains
distorted at S9+20. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
13740, March 6 at 1508, this RHC is off, while 13700 remains at S9+30
in Sonido Cubano music, no spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
11700, March 6 at 1511, RHC is ON this frequency // 11760, but 11700
is not supposed to be on at all in the mornings, only 2300-0600!
Suspect this is the transmitter missing now from 15230. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. 11990, March 6 at 1507 new IRRS broadcast in Oromo,
S4-S6; recheck via UTwente at 1557 more lively talk, chopped off at
1559* with no ID. Meanwhile, I asked IRRS what this is, and quickly
received a Coronavirius e-QSL along with ``OMN -- Oromia Media
Network``.
From that I quickly search out all this info but nothing about old or
new SW broadcasts; note the date on first one, 6 years ago:

Surprisingly, WRTH 2020 COTB page 511 lists only one to Ethiopia, a
different one, Voice of Oromo Liberation, based in Berlin, via Nauen.
IRRS never confirms transmitter sites, so I don`t even ask, but Ivo
Ivanov says 11990 is via his own Bulgaria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 400 kHz, March 6 at 0649 UT, ND beacon AHW vs storm crashes,
of which there are none closer per Blitzortung than off the coast of
FL north of Bahamas. AHW is 25 watts from Wahoo, Nebraska (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, March 6 at 0531, WTWW-2 is now on with rock music,
plus and minus the very weak parasitic spurs on 5072.1 and 5097.9;
this had been off at earlier check 0335. Lebanon electrical fluid may
still be sporadic post-tornado. At 0722 I check again, when 5085 is
still VG, and 5830 is JBA, presumably WTWW-1 as neighbor 5935 WWCR is
also JBA. The MUF must be sharp between 5 and 6 MHz. Usually it`s
above 6 MHz allowing both to inboom when on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1539.96 approx., March 6 at 0707 UT, tell-tale het against
1540 KXEL et al., prime suspect being KGBC Galveston TX, which
sometimes but not always, is askew. Careful LSB tuning manages to pull
it apart as signal increases, after 0714 music, ``Ain`t That a
Shame``, 0715 full ID for KGBC also FM 101.7, `Baytown, Houston, we`ve
got you covered`` --- also Enid.
As of last August, in NRC AM Log, KGBC format was Tejano --- not any
more; U4 2500/250 watts, address in Houston, and 101.7 is K269GS, no
mention of offfrequenciness from 1540.00. WTFDA DB shows 101.7 in
Houston proper, still Spanish/Tejano. Radio-locator.com also still
claims KGBC is ``Tejano``. Ain`t that a shame? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
