** CUBA. 11760, March 6 at 0744, S9+10 of dead air except some hum,
RHC not turned off again. Nowhere else on 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 or 13 MHz
bands. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 6030, 7355 & 7435, March 6 at 0725, again tonight
R. Martí is on late, vs heavy jamming on 6030; way over any jam on
7355 & 7435 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. 9670, March 6 at 0736, S7/S9 with flutter, harmonious
music, 0738 ``A Boy Named Sue``; presumably Channel 292, just filling
time as on most of its schedule:
https://www.channel292.de/schedule-9670-khz/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, March 6 at 0643, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati and no others except a JJBBA on 1521 hetting KOKC, quite a
mystery as nothing seems likely either TP or TA at this hour. Gary
Pence, KM5X, TX, was getting 846 at 0530 via Oahu SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 13, OETA on KETA ``13``, March 7 at 0025 UT, PBS
NewsHour during poisoning girls in Iran story, signal goes dark and
two more times. At first I blame Optimum cable, of course, but as soon
as I switch to antenna direct, also dark, going and coming. And there
is no OETA bug in the LR corner. No fading or fuzzing, just off or on.
Maybe solar transit outage of network feed? `This the season. Some
stations/networx are notorious for living with those rather than
coping by alternate satellite feeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 12030, March 6 at 2300 for token English, SNR is back on
here while off air yesterday, along with all the other three,
sufficient 9690 & 11940, insufficient 11685, into Maryland SDR. 2307
feature something about Spanish-Irish cultural initiative, on a street
corner, chemists and hot air balloons - if I had kept listening
instead of Turking, that might have made more sense (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.001+, March 6 at 2258, S9+40/45, VOT IS &
English IDs already overriding BBC OMAN into UTwente. 2300+ timesignal
running quite behind SPAIN on another remote. Except for standard
recorded announcements, the news and all the features are voiced by
the heavily-accented woman. News followed by long sports segment 2314,
starting with a survey in France? that people are concerned about high
prices and complications in getting Olympic tickets; something about
Manchester United. 2318 `Review of the Turkish Press`. 2321 canned
salute to S&R workers from abroad. By now JBA CCCCCCI from Xinjiang
PBS, std denunciation. 2323 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Supring`
about dill, an herb rich in vitamins and other good things. 2329 music
break, more distorted than during talk. 2338 something about food or
recipes. 2347 `Did You Know That` copper-working handicrafts date back
a myriayear in Anatolia. 2353 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2354 s/off
still citing only the 1330, 1930 and 0400 frequencies. 2355.5 IS.
2356.7 German IDs mixed in till cutoff at 2357.7*. Uncovers XJPBS only
S9+10/15 at .000 to .001. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2180 monitoring: Missed checking

** U S A. 9475, March 6 at 0737, S6/S7 open carrier, suspect WTWW, as
nothing else is scheduled anywhen on 9475 per Aoki & EiBi except
0200-0330 R. Pilipinas. WTWW`s nominal sked is 21-24 UT only, soon to
be 20-23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1130 kHz, March 5 circa 2030 UT, notice that KLEY Wellington
KS is no longer dead air, undermodulating some rock music. More or
less normal 24h later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1480, March 5 at 1952 UT, dead air from KQAM Wichita and for
at least a few minutes. Recheck 2004 remodulating with news, then a
medical advice talkshow (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. `Pipedreams`, the 2-hour organ music show, I normally listen
to at 18-20 UT Sundays [henceforth 17-19 UT], on the HD2 webcast of
WYSU Youngstown OH,
https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/music-radio-schedule
but I missed it March 5; so looking for it on another station before
or after 04 UT Monday March 6 at
http://publicradiofan.com/cgibin/program.pl?programid=508
but tnx to linx to current program schedules, station after station no
longer has it at the listed times! Unfortunately, PRF`s huge database
is not kept uptodate: that would be a fulltime job in itself, and
repeated attempts to contact Kevin Kelly have met with no response. At
least it can give us ideas of where to look, and finally I find a
station really with Pipedreams at 04-06 UT Mondays [henceforth 03-05
UT], KBSU in Boise ID:
https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/music-radio-schedule
if we bring up the classical rather than news or jazz channel. The
modulation level is strangely low but sufficient if played at max both
there and here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, 7890, 11835, March 6 at 0730, no signals from RV.
Gary Pence says 7260 closed at 0659* and then not heard anywhere
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10020 USB, March 6 at 0730, 2-way in Spanish; not clear
if aero comms in aero band.
10122 LSB, March 6 at 0731, 2-way in non English, non Spanish voice.
Have been patrolling 10120-10130 area for any more 30m Australian
phone hams as supposedly authorized, but nothing closer than this,
maybe intruder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13666 USB, March 6 at 0747, 2-way in non Spanish, with
``engine noise`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 0042 UT March 7
