The next update is scheduled for next week (for end of DST in
Aus/NZ).
Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe
** ALGERIA [and non]. 17600, March 26 at 1507, no signal from TDA, but
algo on 17605. That would be Vatican site, while HFCC A23 now shows
Béchar 17600 only at 09-11 & 18-21:
21550, March 26 at 1509, Qur`an and Arabic talk, as TDA Béchar is now
here at 1100-1800, 300 kW at 131 degrees. It`s the OSOB except for
algo on 21690, surely France in Swahili (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Mar 25 checking for LRA36 already
confirmed on air this Sat from 2055: Not audible at 2226 direct, but a
trace S1/S2 = noise level at 2310 on my N/S antenna. 2312 music; 2327
JBA, but no signal into Argentine remote by 2333. 2336, o there it is,
JBA even there, maybe the remote acting up. Others reporting it past
0230 Mar 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 1610 kHz, March 26 at 0637-0638 UT, dead air obviously from
CHHA, again, and probably long before & after (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 11675, March 26 at 1511, Chinese with CCI: this
hour now sked is USAGM in Mandarin via Saipan, so CNR1 jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, March 26 at 0622, RHC English S9+20 with sufficient
modulation, all other frequencies off. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 13605, March 26 at 1501, R. Martí on A-season
channel, ex-13820 where the wall-of-noise jamming remains, none heard
yet on 13605. Stupid Cuban Commies never catch on to these totally
predictable seasonal changes, same for years (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN. Reason for my standard denunciations of XJPBS and
CRI relays via Urumqi or Kashgar, ``Land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems`` ---
``March 23, 2023 --- Hearing on Uyghur Forced Labor Camps in China
Witnesses who were detained or directly impacted joined human rights
activists and others to testify on the detention of the Uyghur
population in forced labor camps in China. Topics included torture,
organ harvesting, reduced birth rates of the Uyghur population, and
other human rights violations as well as U.S. supply chains and
technology. The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party hosted
this hearing.

Audiovideo totals 3 hours; full texts available in translation. The
term `genocide` is not avoided. I caught the last hour of this on
CSPAN Saturday night. No repeats are scheduled in the following week.
I note that there is universal bipartisan concern about this, and am
pleased to laud the numerous Republicans appearing. Search CSPAN on
Uyghur for dizaines of other audiovideos (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA SOUTH. 9100, March 26 at 1523, no signal here nor 9095 nor
9105. Ron Howard says Echo of Hope has left 9 MHz for 7720, also tried
others on 7 MHz. 9100+/- was useful propagation check (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, March 26 at 1508, two weak signals
colliding as the radio war between Dengê Welat and Recep`s jammer,
which could also jump elsewhere below 17500. Arthur Pozner, near NYC,
told the WOR iog, ``Denge Welat on 17455 kHz at 1800 UT, while the
Turkish jammer is on 17480`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NETHERLANDS. 6020 & 11730, March 26 at 0619, JBA carriers direct,
maybe from 1 kW Delta Radio International reported active now. HFCC
shows Korea S and Vietnam also on 6020 but well into the dayside;
11730 also NHK Arabic via France until 0620 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7440, March 29 at 1522, JBA carrier presumed RNZP,
ex-7390 with nothing; 7440 now sked 1259-1650(Sat -1755). Another
change is 13840 ex-13755 at 0559-0858. Full sked:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen
Note: in one more week NZ goes off DST, back to UT+12, so many
domestic programs from RNZ will be one real hour later, but the
frequency sked may not change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. A-23 changes now in effect from SNR, March 26: at 1503,
15520 is S8/S9 off the back to ME. Cuba also registered 15520 at 19-21
with ITU, really to collide? By 1950 March 26, only Spain on 15520.
17855, March 26 at 1506, RNE is S9/+10 to NAm, 17715 to SAm is JBA,
11670 to Af is JBA carrier. As always in A-seasons, 17855 worx much
better in our mornings than 9690, but may not hold up into the
evenings. Needs at least two bands over such long spans, day into
night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, March 25 at 2226, no signal yet from VOT English to
N America, altho it`s March 26 in Emirler; surely will start later UT
March 26, ex-5960 in B-22, ex-9830 in A22, also one UT hour earlified.
Finally! escaping the RTTY on 9830 which often runs past 2200. But now
subject to ACI from 250 kW Brasil 11780, as I already hear tuned to
empty 11785.
5960, Mar 25 at 2307, JBA carrier direct so still here for the last
time. Via UTwente at 2354, S9+30/35 with IS playing, but gone by 2357
leaving only Chinese from XJPBS; no extraneous German (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) See EAST TURKISTAN
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2183 monitoring: confirmed Saturday March 25
at 2230 on WRMIs: 15770 S8/9+15 direct despite off the side, but 5850
JBA direct despite aimed thisaway: too much daytime absorption and
will only worsen into summer.
Also confirmed Saturday March 25 at 2331 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+18
into nearby remote by groundwave, about 20 minutes into so started
circa 2311, instead of nominal 1930. Vern Jackson meanwhile explained
this was due to an automation mixup and the other airing would be at
0411 UT Sunday instead of 0315; axually confirmed starting at 0409,
S9+20 into nearby remote. These unstable WOR times are caused by
widely varying durations of previous ham shows.
Also confirmed UT Sunday March 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/S9 into
Georgia SDR, blasted by noise burst first 14 seconds. Next:
2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW
0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW
0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035 USB [low power]

** U S A. Special MW DX tests publicized from two Kentucky stations,
UT Sun Mar 26 at 04-06 UT: 990 WWKY and 1150 WMST. I first check
Lexington remote at 0401, immediately hearing Morse code IDs on 990;
and at 0402 on 1150. CPC info never mentions that the same two ran DX
tests last April. I heard them then, but did not request proxy QSL
since I did not record them according to requirements. The arranger
then offered to help me QSL them direct, but nothing came of that.
At 0528 UT March 26 I try for them direct on the DX 398 to minimize
N/S signals from CBW and KSAL. 1150 has various prolonged tones, maybe
WMST; need to tune 1150 USB to avoid KSL IBOC noise circa 1147,
At 0529, 930 is making it, VVV VVV VVV DE WWKY WWKY WWKY a few times.
I think something else followed the calls, uncopied.
At 0558, on the R75 with E/W longwire, alternating hi- and lo-pitched
tones but forgot to note which frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
